Chapter 200 Return to the Palace
The two of them slept in each other's arms. Ye Qingge slowly got used to his warmth beside her pillow. Sleeping with him in her arms every night must be one of the happiest things.
As the day dawned, Ye Qingge realized that there was no one around her. She was so scared that she quickly sat up and looked around for Ling Ye, but there was no one in the room.
Where would he go at this time? Would he leave on his own?
Ye Qingge couldn't help but feel sad. In the past, he would wait for her to wake up before getting up together.
She hugged her legs and curled up on the bed, her nose sore. She was really afraid of being alone, especially in a place like this where there were few people living around.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a creaky sound. Xiao Lingye came in and saw her huddled up with her head buried in her legs.
He put down the bowl in his hand and sat down beside the bed. When Ye Qingge looked up and saw him, she threw herself into his arms.
"Ling Ye, where have you been? I'm so scared"
Xiao Lingye held her in his arms and comforted her
"Don't be afraid, I've been here. I just went to make porridge for you. You can eat it when you wake up later."
"Cooking porridge?"
Ye Qingge looked up at him in confusion, then looked at the bowl of porridge on the table in front of her.
Xiao Lingye looked at her incredulous eyes and said with a smile
"I said yesterday that I would learn to cook and would never let my wife go hungry."
"But it's still early, the sun hasn't even risen yet. Did you get up a long time ago? You don't have to get up so early. I'm not hungry. Don't work so hard."
Ye Qingge said distressedly
"Actually, Xuan Lie came here an hour ago."
Xiao Lingye looked a little solemn
"Did something happen?"
"The Queen Mother is critically ill, and the Emperor has summoned us back."
"Ah, it's such a big deal, why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry up and get me some clothes."
"I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I couldn't bear to wake you up. It's still early, so I tried to cook some porridge. When you're full, we can go on our way."
Ye Qingge didn't expect him to be so considerate and thoughtful. She couldn't help but hug him.
"Husband, you are so kind"
Xiao Lingye smiled and touched her head
"I'm only good to you"
Ye Qingge was so moved that she almost cried. She must have saved the Milky Way in her previous life to have met him in this life.
However, time was running out, so she didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly got dressed, ate the porridge in one breath, and then the two of them set off.
"The porridge is cooked okay, but it may be a little short, so it's still a little undercooked."
"Okay, I'll cook a little longer next time."
He's really good.
……
The two hurried back to the palace, without changing clothes, and went directly to the Queen Mother's Palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a large number of people kneeling in the Queen Mother's bedroom. In addition to the concubines, there were also various princes and grandchildren, and their families.
Xiao Lingye took Ye Qingge's hand and walked around them to the back of the screen. The emperor sat at the head of the bed, holding the queen mother's hand, feeling heartbroken. The queen was serving beside him.
When she saw her son walk in, she was very happy. A few days ago, the news that the prince's leg had healed spread throughout the palace. She was so excited that she went to the East Palace to see him, but she didn't expect that he had already left the palace with Qingge.
Well, two people should spend more time together to cultivate their feelings. Although she is excited at the moment, it is not the time to be happy, so she can only bear it.
After Xiao Lingye and Ye Qingge paid their respects to them, they looked at the Queen Mother and saw that her eyes were slightly closed, her face was pale, and her breath was weak.
Ye Qingge quickly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Father, could you please let me take a look for the Queen Mother?"
The emperor nodded
After getting permission, Ye Qingge went forward to take the Queen Mother's pulse and checked
She shook her head at them solemnly and was about to stand up and leave when the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes.
She waved to Xiao Lingye, and Xiao Lingye quickly stepped forward and held her hand
"grandmother"
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, looked at the two of them and said slowly
"Ye'er, your leg is healed. I'm so happy. Qingge is your lucky star. I hope you two will be well in the future..."
"My grandson knows. I will treat Qingge well in the future, love her forever, and never let her suffer any injustice."
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it reached outside the screen.
When Xiao Lingche saw the two of them coming in hand in hand, he clenched his fists, but Qingge didn't even look at him.
At this time, Xiao Lingye deliberately said that, which was really like rubbing salt into his wounds.
He hated it and hated that he couldn't get Qingge back
……
When the Queen Mother heard him say this, she nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, she no longer had the strength to speak.
The Queen signaled them both to leave, and they both knelt outside the screen.
Not long after, the Queen Mother died
After that, the palace held a mourning period for three days, and all entertainment activities were prohibited.
……
Weiyang Palace
"Your Highness, fortunately we returned in time and were able to see the Queen Mother for the last time."
"Um"
Xiao Lingye nodded
"You two, you left the palace without even telling me."
Ye Qingge looked at Xiao Lingye embarrassedly, and saw him say
"I left in a hurry that day, please don't blame me, Mother."
The queen smiled helplessly
"You, when have you ever left without a hurry? You come and go without a trace, and it's hard for your mother to see you. Now that your leg is healed and you've married Qingge, you don't have to go to Lingyun Mountain anymore, right?"
He went to Lingyun Mountain for medical treatment and recuperation before, but now that he is well, there is no need to go again.
"What the Queen Mother said is true. There is really no need to go."
Ye Qingge's eyes rolled around. If he didn't go, what would happen to Hua Manlou?
The queen smiled happily after hearing this
"That's right. There were already many voices in the court saying that you should change the crown prince. Now that your leg is healed and you want to start participating in court affairs, I think they won't say anything anymore."
"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best."
"Well, you two also have to work hard. Having an heir is one of the important conditions for selecting a crown prince, so you can't ignore it."
The queen looked at Ye Qingge with a smile. Ye Qingge suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They had just gotten married and already they were trying to induce labor?
Xiao Lingye held Ye Qingge's hand, looked at her and said
"It won't be long before you have a grandson."
"Really?"
The queen looked at Ye Qingge excitedly
Ye Qingge glared at Xiao Lingye in embarrassment. Isn't he talking nonsense? She said
"Your Majesty, I misunderstood. I'm not... pregnant yet."
The Queen felt a little disappointed after hearing this. She thought Qingge was pregnant. She couldn't help but say to Xiao Lingye:
"Ye'er, why are you talking nonsense?"
Xiao Lingye smiled
"Isn't it just a matter of time? Just wait."
"Okay, okay, with your words, I feel relieved."
Ye Qingge couldn't help but glared at him. He really wasn't embarrassed at all. Xiao Lingye gave her a reassuring look.
The queen was relieved to see her son become cheerful and the two of them had a strong friendship.
Now she can enjoy the happiness of family life, but it would be perfect if she had another grandson.
