Chapter 320 Is this how you prepare?
Not long after, the queen was carefully carried into the side hall on a soft couch by several palace maids.
At this time, the queen was half lying on the couch. Because the delivery process was so difficult and consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, she looked listless and depressed.
Her originally black and shiny hair now looked a little messy, and was simply tied up and covered with a headband.
That once beautiful face was now as pale as paper, completely devoid of any blood.
When Su Yue'e finally saw the angry Emperor Jing, her eyes could hardly conceal the deep disappointment he revealed.
No matter what the matter was, Emperor Jing actually ordered people to carry her, who had just given birth and was extremely weak, to this side hall. This behavior showed that he did not care about her safety and had no regard for her reputation as the queen.
At this moment, Su Yue'e's heart was filled with sadness and misery, but relying on her weak body, she said nothing and even closed her eyes tightly, as if she wanted to isolate herself from everything in front of her.
Most of her face, as pale as paper, was buried deep in the soft quilt, as if only in this way could she find a little warmth and comfort.
At this moment, the Queen Mother broke the silence first and asked in a serious tone, "Queen, I want to ask you, do you know who lives in the backyard of Yikun Palace?"
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Su Yue'e slowly opened her heavy eyelids with difficulty, and only uttered two cold words from her mouth: "Servant."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, then asked, "Then did you know that there are three pregnant women living in the backyard?"
Su Yue'e shook her head and replied weakly but firmly, "I don't know."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing was immediately enraged. His eyes widened as he shouted furiously, "As the master of a palace, you don't even know who is in your own palace! This is simply ridiculous!"
However, in the face of Emperor Jing's angry rebuke, Su Yue'e had no reaction and did not even open her eyes.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that her head had tilted weakly to one side, and she looked like she was asleep.
Seeing this, Emperor Jing was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Someone come! Throw water on him to wake him up!"
However, even though Emperor Jing had already issued the order, none of the many attendants and palace maids in the side hall dared to act rashly.
After all, Su Yue'e is the queen, who would dare to offend her easily?
Seeing that no one obeyed his orders, Emperor Jing became so angry that his face turned blue.
He could no longer suppress his inner anger, and suddenly stood up, picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, and walked towards Su Yue'e step by step...
"The Queen has just given birth. Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" As this slightly old but majestic voice sounded, everyone's eyes turned to the door.
I saw an old man with white hair and sharp eyes standing there tremblingly with a cane. This man was the right prime minister of the current dynasty - Su Huaian.
When Emperor Jing heard this sudden question, his heart trembled violently, and the exquisite teacup in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably with a "bang" and shattered into pieces.
The tea splashed everywhere, soaking the luxurious carpet under his feet.
At this time, Madam Su's gaze had passed Emperor Jing and went straight to the soft couch.
When she saw Su Yue'e, whose face was as pale as paper, whose breath was weak and whose body was a little crooked, leaning on the soft couch, she felt a sharp pain in her heart and had no time to pay her respects to Emperor Jing and the Queen Mother.
She staggered to the couch and held Su Yue'e's cold hand tightly.
"My Yue'e, what kind of suffering have you endured?" Old lady Su cried out in grief.
She could never have imagined that her precious granddaughter, whom she had loved so much since she was a child, would now become so haggard.
Su Yue'e, lying on the couch, heard her grandmother's familiar voice. She opened her eyes with difficulty and called out in a very weak voice, "Grandma..."
Just these two words, before she finished speaking, crystal tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
Seeing her granddaughter crying, Old Lady Su felt heartbroken and couldn't stop crying.
She wiped the tears from the corners of Su Yue'e's eyes with her trembling hands, and said with a sob: "My Yue'e has suffered a lot of grievances in this palace."
Back then, she was firmly opposed to sending her granddaughter to the palace, a place full of troubles. However, Su Yue'e herself and her grandfather kept persuading her, and in the end, she could not resist them and had to reluctantly agree to let her granddaughter enter the palace.
However, seeing her granddaughter in such a miserable condition, she really wished that time could go back and would never agree to this matter no matter what.
The Queen Mother had been watching all this coldly from the side. After hearing what Old Madam Su said, her face instantly became gloomy, as if covered with a thick layer of frost.
She retorted coldly, "Madam Su, you're going too far! As the mother of a nation, who in the harem would dare to let her suffer so easily?"
Just as Madam Su was about to open her mouth to refute, she suddenly heard Su Huaian cough heavily.
Although she was extremely reluctant, she still reluctantly bent down and bowed, saying reluctantly, "It is your majesty who has overstepped your bounds..."
Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother's expression softened slightly, but she still questioned sternly, "It was your Su family who offered to provide a wet nurse for the child. Now that the princess is born, you can't even find a wet nurse! Shouldn't your Su family give a reasonable explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Su was horrified and quickly protested, "How, how is this possible? Just in case, I specially prepared three wet nurses and sent them to the palace. There's absolutely no way there wouldn't be a wet nurse available!"
If there were not a strict limit on the number of people entering the palace, she would have wanted to prepare ten or eight wet nurses and send them all to the palace at once.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and looked at Old Lady Su coldly, "Since you personally admitted that the three wet nurses were all prepared by your Su family, then it couldn't be better. Right now, the princess is hungry, and these wet nurses haven't given birth yet. Is this how your Su family prepared them?"
Old Madam Su was stunned for a moment and stood there in a daze.
She only selected women whose children were three or four months old and sent them to the palace to serve as wet nurses. How could there be pregnant women who had not yet given birth?
She glanced at Su Huaian and saw that he didn't look surprised. Decades of blessings made her almost certain that this was Su Huaian's doing.
Looking at Su Yue'e lying on the couch, I'm afraid she also knows about this.
Now that the truth has been revealed, Su Yue'e and Su Huaian must be taken out first.
