Chapter 146: Madam, Don’t Be Anxious
"Okay, go quickly, I'll wait for your news!" After watching Mu Lian go out, the queen's heart was still trembling. She couldn't understand why the national teacher was involved with the second son. Moreover, if this was true, then the so-called wedding was just a cover, the purpose was to let the Western beauty leave the palace smoothly. In this case, what should her son do?
When the queen thought of this, she felt a pain in her heart. After arranging the personnel, Mu Lian quickly returned to the palace. When she saw the queen in such pain, she quickly comforted her: "My queen, please rest assured. Since we already know about this, we will definitely find a way to stop their conspiracy."
However, the queen seemed extremely lonely. She looked at Mu Lian with tearful eyes and murmured to herself: "The wedding turned out to be fake, what should I do with my Mu'er? Is there still a way for him to survive... Woo woo woo!" Tears poured out like a flood, and her body trembled slightly due to excessive grief.
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help sobbing again, tears pouring out of her eyes like a flood. Seeing this, Mu Lian hurriedly comforted her, "No, your majesty, please be at ease. Think about it carefully, if His Highness can't recover, how can the Imperial Master easily agree to cooperate with the Second Prince? Would he abandon his lofty position in Loulan to help the Second Prince? Besides, if anything happens to His Highness, the Queen Mother and the King will definitely not let it go!"
The queen stared at Mu Lian with tearful eyes and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Really? Will Mu Er really be safe?"
Mu Lian replied firmly, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. The Imperial Master once made a promise in front of the King, expressing his willingness to stay in Loulan for the rest of his life and devote himself to the Kingdom of Loulan. Moreover, the eldest prince has successfully laid a solid foundation for the Gobi Desert of Loulan, and can be said to be a great contributor to the entire Loulan! In addition, the Imperial Master also made it clear that as long as the wedding ceremony is held, the eldest prince will definitely recover. This is enough to prove that the eldest prince will be fine!"
Seeing the queen's mood gradually stabilize, Mu Lian felt relieved. She whispered to the outside of the door, "Someone, bring the queen's tranquilizing soup over!"
Not long after, a maid came into the room with a bowl of steaming hot soothing soup. Mu hurriedly stepped forward to take the bowl and said to the queen, "My queen, drink some soothing soup first and have a good rest. If there is any news, I will wake you up immediately."
The queen shook her head slightly, a trace of fatigue and helplessness on her face: "I have been drinking this calming soup for several days in a row, but I still can't fall asleep peacefully. It doesn't seem to have much effect. I really don't want to drink it anymore."
The maid who brought the soup in heard what the queen said and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I heard Sister Mu Lian mention before that you still had trouble falling asleep after drinking the tranquilizing soup. Today, I went to consult the imperial physician and asked if there were any other good prescriptions. The imperial physician said that if this tranquilizing soup is not effective, you might as well try another recipe of tranquilizing soup. Therefore, this is a re-prepared tranquilizing soup!"
As she spoke, she handed the bowl to Mu Lian, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Mu Lian carefully took the bowl and advised again: "My queen, please try this new calming soup, maybe it will be different. Sleep is very important for the body, please take care of yourself."
The queen nodded slightly. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she took the bowl and slowly drank the bowl of calming soup.
While the queen was drinking the tranquilizing soup, Mu Lian suddenly seemed to remember something. She immediately perked up and looked at the maid and asked, "What did you just say?"
The maid was a little confused as to why Mu Lian asked this question, but she still said, "I said, if that one doesn't work, just change it. What's wrong with Sister Mu Lian?"
Mu Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found a ray of light in the darkness. She said anxiously, "Yes! That's it! Go and get the list of concubines who entered the palace three years ago. The Queen wants to see it!"
Mu Lian's tone was full of hope and determination. She seemed to have found a solution to the problem. The maid took the order and left!
The queen had a hint of doubt on her face after hearing Mu Lian's words. She had just finished drinking the tranquilizing soup, and her tired mood did not become relaxed because of Mu Lian's words. She frowned and asked, "Why did you ask her to bring the book? I don't have the heart to read any book now!"
Mu Lian quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Please listen to me slowly. Although this incident has already happened, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to find someone to replace the original plan. This booklet records the information of the concubines who entered the palace three years ago. If we want to replace someone, we have to look for it in this booklet!"
After listening to Mu Lian's explanation, the queen's doubts were slightly alleviated. She understood Mu Lian's intention, but still had reservations about the idea. She sighed and said, "Is it really possible? How can we find a suitable person in such a hurry? And even if we find one, she is the king's woman!"
Mu Lian nodded firmly and said, "Your Highness, as long as we look for it carefully, there will definitely be a suitable candidate. Moreover, this is the only way at present. If we don't try, we can only watch His Highness being plotted against.
And as long as the person is replaced, the Western Beauty will not be able to leave the palace. Then we will send people to keep an eye on Jingsiju. As long as the second prince goes there again, we can catch him in one fell swoop. By then, there will be witnesses and evidence, and no matter how capable the virtuous concubine is, she will definitely not have any chance of turning the tables! "
After hearing this, the queen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, indicating that she agreed with Mu Lian's proposal. She knew that there was no better choice now. Although she didn't know whether this decision was correct, she was willing to believe in Mu Lian's judgment and hoped that everything would go smoothly.
After the maid carefully handed over the book, the queen and Mu Lian leaned over the desk side by side, carefully reading each name on the book page by page. However, the more they read, the more they frowned, as if they felt that each one was not the most ideal choice. After all, these women had served the king before, but they had to choose one from among them. The queen's mood became heavier, thinking that her son, as the eldest son of Loulan, had to suffer such an injustice and marry his father's woman. An unspeakable bitterness surged in her heart.
Just when the queen was feeling desperate and thought that she couldn't choose the right person, Mu Lian suddenly shouted excitedly: "Queen, I have found the right person!"
The queen was refreshed when she heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Mu Lian's finger. Her eyes fell on the name - Hanguli. This name was not unfamiliar to the queen, although she had not heard it for a long time. She still remembered Hanguli's appearance very clearly, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought of her.
So the queen refused without a second thought: "No, when I see her I will think of Aunt Taji, let's change someone else!"
