After burying Master Jiang, the news somehow reached Mrs. Jiang Er's ears. She was a little excited, so the palace maid could not have to find Chu Yunning.

"Empress, brother...he is really dead?" Mrs. Jiang Er blushed and clenched her fists: "Is there any news about her husband?"

Seeing her appearance, Chu Yunning felt a little uncomfortable and held her hand to comfort her: "Second aunt, there is no news about her second uncle yet. The emperor has sent someone to negotiate with Yunlan."

"Yunlan?" Mrs. Jiang Er quickly captured the keyword: "Is it made by Yunlan?"

Chu Yunning told the truth.

Mrs. Jiang Er suddenly fell silent, and tears suddenly flowed from the end of her eyes, her whole body trembled slightly, and she gritted her teeth and seemed to make a decision: "Empress, can I meet the emperor?"

"Of course." Chu Yunning immediately asked someone to invite Xiao Jingheng over.

Through a screen, Xiao Jingheng's voice came over and he called out in a low voice: "Second Aunt."

"Ahem!" Mrs. Jiang Er gritted her teeth and supported half of her body, and suddenly said: "Master, can you let me know what the conditions Yunlan proposed?"

Xiao Jingheng hesitated for a moment before he said the content of the letter. After Mrs. Jiang learned about it, she said in a deep voice: "Emperor, although the detained are all my relatives and the queen mother's closest relatives, please do not take risks for a few close relatives. The Jiang family will not blame you, and you must not be fooled by Yunlan!"

"Second aunt?" Chu Yunning admired the woman in front of him at this moment. After losing several relatives, he could still be righteous and take the overall situation into consideration, and did not make a big fuss about it.

The hopeful light in Mrs. Jiang's second wife's eyes gradually dimmed. She choked and said, "The Jiang family has been guarding the border for so many years, and I don't want to cause trouble for you, and I won't know it now. The Jiang family doesn't want to be slandered and abused by the world."

A low sigh came from the other side of the screen, and Xiao Jingheng said in a deep voice: "My second aunt is well recuperating, I know this."

When talking about the empress dowager, Xiao Jingheng always feels guilty and owe too much.

...

"Empress Dowager, it's not okay if you don't eat or drink like this. At least eat some, right?" Madam Lin advised carefully.

Since the Empress Dowager learned about the Jiang family, her mood plummeted and she locked herself in the house without eating or drinking.

Madam Lin came with lunch in her hand, and the ones she delivered in the morning were placed there without moving.

The Empress Dowager sighed long and looked sad. As soon as she thought of her father being so old, she would be kidnapped and tortured, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed.

As a woman, she can’t do anything and is really unfilial!

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a lack of interest, Madam Lin had to step down. She stood in the corridor and hesitated for a moment. She raised her foot and went to the East Palace. She happened to meet Beibei at the entrance of the palace. Madam Lin stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Beibei raised his head and asked anxiously: "Is there something wrong with the emperor and grandmother staying behind closed doors these days?"

He hadn't seen the emperor's grandmother for several days. He was really worried. Could it be that the emperor's grandmother wouldn't be used to it if Aunt Su and Aunt Zhi were not around?

"Three days ago, eight hundred miles of emergency came from the border gate. It was said that the entire Jiang family was captured, and countless casualties were killed or injured. The old general Jiang was also abducted. The empress dowager was always worried when she knew about it. She had no choice but to eat or drink these days, so she came to find you." said Madam Lin.

Beibei bit his lip. He had a nightmare these days, dreaming that a group of people were trapped in a cave and was whipped by a group of people. He had seen the faces of those people clearly.

There were old and young people, and there were crying children, about the same age as him, and his arms were cut off and fell into a pool of blood.

It seemed that an old man was calling out to his grandson and then cursing, which resulted in a series of punches and kicks.

He looked at the old man's face and felt inexplicably intimately intimate, with a piece of armor covered with blood.

"I'll go see the emperor's grandmother." Beibei didn't say much, and Sa Huan ran towards Cihe Palace.

He came almost every day, so no one obstructed him. Beibei went straight to the inner hall and shouted in a low voice through the screen: "Grandmother of the Emperor?"

When the Empress Dowager heard Beibei's voice, she felt a little rational, and forced herself to wave to him: "Beibei, come to the emperor's grandmother."

Bypassing the screen, Beibei looked at the Queen Mother with a worried look on her face. He looked at the motionless meal on the table. He pouted: "Why don't the emperor and grandmother eat well? If you don't eat on time, your body will not be able to bear it."

Beibei tried his best to make the empress dowager happy. He rubbed his little head gently in the empress dowager's arms, and the empress dowager finally smiled.

So, under Beibei's persuasion, the empress dowager finally moved her chopsticks and drank half a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and her face calmed down a lot.

"Bibei, you are the prince. What will you do if your relatives are held hostage one day?" the queen mother asked suddenly.

Beibei said without hesitation: "If one day my mother is kidnapped, I will definitely save her all."

The Empress Dowager touched Beibei's head: "You are still young now and do not understand the heavy responsibilities of the world. The burden on your father's shoulders is too heavy to abandon the people."
