Chapter 922: hunger strike
She couldn't help but think of the civil servants and military generals in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today who wanted to eat her up. If Xie Zhiwei really had something wrong, and half of the civil servants in the court came from Cui Xie's family, how would the history books criticize her in the future?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager went to the inner room, Xuan Tao quickly helped her close the curtain, and led her all the way to the inner room.
Xie Zhiwei was lying on the bed, with a small white face the size of a palm, and fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Xiao Xun was kneeling on one knee on the footrest, holding her hand, at a loss.
Xie Zhiwei saw the Empress Dowager coming in, and was about to stand up and salute, but Xiao Xun held her down and refused to let her get up. The Empress Dowager didn't want to thank Zhiwei to salute, but seeing Xiao Xun like this, she couldn't help saying coldly, "Lie down , Aijia can't bear your big gift!"
Xie Zhiwei bit her lips and looked at the Empress Dowager with tears in her eyes. She seemed to have seen how the Empress Dowager treated her well. Back then, she put the bracelet given by the Empress Yuan on her hand, just like every kind grandmother in the world.
She understood that the Tian family had never had any kinship. At that time, she still couldn't help thinking that Ah Xun was happy to have such a grandmother to protect him.
Xie Zhiwei struggled to get up, she pushed Xiao Xun away, "The emperor's grandmother is here, out of emotion and reason, I have to salute myself!"
Xiao Xun turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager, "Emperor Grandmother, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can address your grandson. If you feel that your grandson is sitting on the throne, you are dissatisfied. Who do you want to sit on the throne? Just make way for the grandson."
As he said, he seemed to be emotionally moved, "The grandson is already in a weak year, and the empress only has this little blood. The grandson has been looking forward to the baby for a long time, and the empress also has the blood of the Taizu in her belly. Why is the empress dowager like this?" Can't bear it?"
The empress dowager turned pale with anger, "Ai family, when did the Ai family say they couldn't take it anymore? She has been in the royal family for four years, why did the Ai family ask her to set any rules? Since you are the eldest daughter of the Xie family, thank you Is this how the family taught you how to be a daughter-in-law?"
Xie Zhiwei sat on the bed with tears streaming down his face, "Empress Dowager, grandson-in-law has been in the royal family for four years, has she ever done anything disrespectful? Please make it clear to Empress Dowager that if there is a mistake, grandson-in-law should correct it."
Her small face was pale, but she showed determination. Even in such a state of embarrassment, she still did not lose her demeanor.
The Empress Dowager knew that Xie Zhiwei was not a good idiot. At this moment, seeing her like this, she understood that it was still a hard idiot.
During the stalemate, Xuantao came in and said in a low voice, "Empress, there is good news from Prince Xiang's Mansion that the Crown Princess has given birth to a princess."
The empress dowager sounded harsh, "What good news is a loser!"
Xie Zhiwei raised his eyes and glanced at the Empress Dowager, his voice was extremely weak, "Send the gift I prepared the day before yesterday to the Shizi Concubine, and tell her carefully, saying that from ancient times to the present, flowers first bloom and then bear fruit, and daughters are mothers." There's nothing wrong with my dear little padded jacket, let her take good care of her body."
This was a confrontation with herself. The Empress Dowager was so furious that she couldn't help but take a deep look at Xie Zhiwei's stomach. If that's the case, then give her a fatal blow. She clenched her fists and snorted coldly, "We Walk!"
At noon, Fudong from Leshou Palace came to report, "Empress Empress, Madam Hu in Leshou Palace said that the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood, and she didn't eat a single bite of lunch. She was worried that the Empress Dowager would get sick from hunger!"
Xie Zhiwei gave a "hmm" and ordered, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager is ill. The Empress Dowager has a noble status, and the emperor in my stomach is nothing. Let the imperial doctors go to Leshou Palace to treat the Empress Dowager properly. There must be no mistake."
"this…"
Before Fudong could speak, Xuantao took Fudong's arm and went out, "Sister Fudong, please take pity on our Empress Empress, Empress Empress came back from Leshou Palace yesterday, she didn't get any grains or even a drop of water, Empress The empress is still a twin, so what should I do!"
Xuantao said tears were coming out, no matter how much Fudong could say, he had to lead a group of imperial doctors back and stay in Leshou Palace.
Xie Zhiwei leaned against the bed, called Du Yuan to come in, and ordered, "Quietly go and tell Mr. Lu, just say that in the kitchen at the Leshou Palace, let the people stare at the ingredients over there, and you can't tell the Empress Dowager to say it on the sidelines." Go on a hunger strike and eat secretly."
Du Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Empress Empress, why don't the slaves go to the small kitchen of Leshou Palace to get the ingredients over there..."
Xie Zhiwei shook his head, "Gentlemen do things and don't do them. Soldiers come to cover up the water. We don't need to do things that degrade our status."
Du Yuan smiled ashamedly, "The servant knows!"
Lu Yan was in the south study, and Du Yuan was poking his head at the door. Lu Yan saw it and raised his eyes, "Come in!"
Du Yuan walked to the side of the desk, whispered Xie Zhiwei's words, Lu Yan couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Got it!"
After Du Yuan left, Lu Yan called Mi Tuan and said, "Over at the Leshou Palace, the Empress Dowager said she had a poor appetite and didn't want to eat. Keep an eye on it, since the master doesn't want to eat, the people below don't want to eat, and don't allow anyone to steal it."
"yes!"
In the small kitchen of Leshou Palace, Mi Tuan went there in person. Before he left, Madam Hu sent someone to come, saying that he wanted three snacks.
The head of the small kitchen said, "Who eats it?"
"Since it is requested by the higher authorities, you don't care who eats it, just do it quickly."
The head said, "This small kitchen is set up for the Empress Dowager. Since the Empress Dowager doesn't want to eat, we have to know who wants to eat."
The court lady laughed angrily, "This is strange, who are we, who would ask for the Empress Dowager's portion to eat? Are you going to make three dim sum?"
The head ordered an eunuch, "Go to Kunning Palace to report, and say that the Empress Dowager is willing to eat, and ordered three snacks, so don't worry about it."
When the maid heard this, she couldn't help but get angry, "Stop, who said that the three plates of dim sum were eaten by the Empress Dowager?"
"Auntie, if you lose face in front of the Empress Dowager, you can't hurt us. We all serve the Empress Dowager. Even if we want to curry favor with you, we dare not give up our lives!"
Seeing this, the palace official knew that if she continued, something might happen, so she stomped her foot and went out.
In the kitchen, everyone looked at each other and laughed secretly.
The majestic empress dowager threatened the empress with a hunger strike. It is really embarrassing to speak out.
Hearing what the palace man said, Nanny Hu was stunned. Even if she was the first person around the Empress Dowager, she was not allowed to order the small kitchen to cook meals for her. Could it be that the Empress Dowager was really going to go on a hunger strike?
