[R18] Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h) – Chapter 267 of “Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h)” [English]

Girl Queen Mother(8)

Xuanyuan Ce returned to Zichen Palace, where Eunuch Yu was already waiting.Seeing Xuanyuan Ce, Eunuch Yu said respectfully: “This slave is here to see the Emperor!”

“Excuse me, how are things going?” Xuanyuan Ce waved his sleeves and said calmly.

“Back to your majesty, Prince Ruyang Hou has suffered a hundred blows and has passed out. According to your instructions, I will lock you in prison and wait for your majesty’s fate…” Yu Gonggong replied openly.

“Good job…” Xuanyuan Ce said calmly.

“Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. However, during the execution just now, Mrs. Ruyanghou has been begging for mercy. I am afraid that Ruyanghou already knows about this matter. Your Majesty, do you think…?” Eunuch Yu asked cautiously.

“So what if you know, Prince Ruyang Hou dares to offend the Queen Mother, which is also the fault of his godson. I will never forgive him lightly!” Xuanyuan Ce said coldly.

Eunuch Yu looked at Xuanyuan Ce’s cold expression and sighed in his heart: It seems that the Ruyang Hou family is going to be in trouble this time…

After returning from the palace that day, Mrs. Ruyang Hou told Ruyang Hou about this in tears. Ruyang Hou was so angry that he cursed the prince Ruyang Hou and blamed Mrs. Ruyang Hou for not teaching him well.However, after all, scolding is his only son. Ruyang Hou planned to go to the imperial study room to meet Xuanyuan Ce after the morning court the next day.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, before Ruyanghou could speak, Xuanyuan Ce said coldly: “If it is about Ruyanghou’s crown prince, Ruyanghou should not say more. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not caring about the feelings of the king and his subjects!” After Ruyanghou heard this, he did not dare to say more.

One day later, Xuanyuan Ce announced in public in the court: The prince of Ruyanghou offended the queen mother of the dynasty and should be punished according to the law. In consideration of the merits of Ruyanghou, he would be spared the death penalty and he would be demoted to a commoner and sent to the frontier.

Mrs. Ruyang Hou almost fainted when she heard the news.She immediately went to the palace and asked to see Leng Xiyan, but Leng Xiyan ignored her and disappeared behind closed doors.She had no choice but to ask the concubine, the biological aunt of the Prince of Ruyang, to intercede with the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor learned about this and gave the concubine and Mrs. Ruyanghou a good beating. He also made Ruyanghou stay at home and think about it for three months because he was unable to educate his son and restrain the family.At this time, Ruyanghou’s family finally stopped begging for mercy for Ruyanghou’s son.

On the day Prince Ruyanghou left, Mrs. Ruyanghou sent him away with tears in her eyes. The conditions on the border were difficult, so Ruyanghou and his wife could only spend money to manage people and make his life easier.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, Xuanyuan Ce assigned his personal guards to Leng Xiyan to protect Leng Xiyan’s safety.Seeing this, everyone in the harem praised Xuanyuan Ce for his filial piety and respect for the Queen Mother, which invisibly made Leng Xiyan’s position more stable.

That night, Caihe came again holding a bowl of steaming medicine. She said, “Miss, it’s time to drink the medicine…”

Looking at the bowl of dark and thick concoction, Leng Xiyan couldn’t help but frown and discussed: “Caihe, look, I’m fine, so there’s no need to drink anymore…”

Caihe shook his head and refused, and said, “No, this is the last bowl of medicine. Miss must drink it!”

“But this medicine is really bitter. I don’t want to drink it…” Leng Xiyan said coquettishly.

“No, for the sake of my health, you must drink…” Caihe firmly refused.Then he added: “If Miss is afraid of hardship, I have prepared candied fruits here. After drinking the medicine and eating the candied fruits, you will not be bitter anymore…”

Seeing her persistence, Leng Xiyan had to compromise: “Okay…” She obediently picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it with a frown. A bitter and astringent taste suddenly came from her mouth. Caihe took out the candied fruit and fed it to her, which finally relieved the bitter taste in her mouth.

Perhaps because of the medicine, Leng Xiyan felt very tired and fell asleep soon.

In the imperial study room.After Xuanyuan Ce finished processing the last piece of paper, he asked: “Eunuch Yu, what time is it now?”

“Your Majesty, it’s half past Haishi…” Eunuch Yu said respectfully.

“It’s so late, she should be sleeping…” Xuanyuan Ce murmured to himself.

After thinking about it, he stood up from the imperial desk and said: “Come with me to have a look…” After that, he strode away, and Eunuch Yu trotted to keep up with he.

When we arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, it was quiet and silent.Caihe, who was keeping watch at night, heard the sound and walked out. When he saw Xuanyuan Ce, he was about to salute. Xuanyuan Ce stopped her and asked softly: “Is the Queen Mother sleeping?”

Caihe spoke in a soft voice: “Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has fallen asleep…”

“You guys wait here, I’ll go in and take a look…” After saying that, Xuanyuan Ce walked into the inner hall.

There was a faint scent of incense burning in the hall, and Leng Xiyan lay on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.Xuanyuan Ce walked to the bed and subconsciously looked at her wrist.The bruises on her wrists have dissipated and they are fair again.

Xuanyuan Ce looked at her face. Leng Xiyan looked very sweet as she slept, with a blush on her cheeks and a smile on her lips, as if she was having a sweet dream.Looking at her sweet sleeping appearance, Xuanyuan Ce’s eyes softened unknowingly.
