The empress dowager was sent back to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, which frightened all the maids. Ye Zhen saw all this and sighed secretly in her heart. In the past, there was Aunt Cheng in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, who could arrange everything properly. How could she be at a loss like this?
"What are you panicking about? Place the empress dowager in her bedroom, and then fetch water." Ye Zhen's cold face made all the flustered maids kneel down.
Ye Zhen looked at them coldly, and finally fell on the calm Jin Ping. "The empress dowager is fine. Medical Officer Qi will be here soon. Let the empress dowager lie down first."
Although Jin Ping's face was a little pale, she still looked calm. "Yes, Your Highness."
Ye Zhen did not check the Empress Dowager's pulse again. Although she had medical skills, the Empress Dowager was still angry. It was better for the Medical Officer Qi to administer the medicine. If she prescribed the medicine, even if the Empress Dowager woke up, she might be even more ill.
Qi Jin arrived quickly and saw that Ye Zhen was also in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. She was surprised and hurried to diagnose the empress dowager's pulse.
"Your Highness, the empress dowager is fine. This official will give her acupuncture first and she will wake up later." Qi Jin said to Ye Zhen.
"Well, thank you, Medical Officer Qi." Ye Zhen nodded gently.
Qi Jin did not ask why the empress dowager was in a coma. She performed acupuncture on the empress dowager and in less than half an hour, the empress dowager woke up.
"Mother, are you better?" Ye Zhen was relieved to see the empress dowager wake up.
The empress dowager opened her eyes immediately when she heard Ye Zhen's voice. "Get out! Ai jia doesn't want to see you!"
Ye Zhen did not take another step. She stopped and looked at the empress dowager. "Mother, this concubine is just concerned about you."
"You didn't anger Ai jia to death?" The empress dowager asked angrily. "Come, come, drive her out!"
"Mother, don't be angry. If you don't want to see this concubine, I will leave. I hope mother will take care of your health." Ye Zhen bent her knees and saluted. If she stayed, she would only make the empress dowager angry.
The empress dowager sneered. "If you really want Ai jia not to die of anger, then let the emperor make Liu Zhihua a virtuous concubine!"
Ye Zhen lowered her eyes and said, "This concubine will tell the emperor."
"Scram, I don't want to see you again." The Empress Dowager shouted angrily. Wasn't it the same to ask the Emperor? If the Emperor had the heart to keep Liu Zhihua, he wouldn't have sent all the beauties out of the palace.
"This concubine takes her leave." Ye Zhen bowed her head and retreated.
Qi Jin saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh inside. Everyone could see how much the Empress Dowager liked the Empress. At the time, she had thought that the Empress Dowager really did treat the Empress as a daughter. Who knew that it would be like this in the end.
That Ye Yaoyao really had the ability to change the Empress Dowager so thoroughly.
"Empress Dowager, please take care of yourself. Anger can easily harm your body." Qi Jin gently advised the Empress Dowager.
"How can aijia not be angry?" The Empress Dowager's face was still slightly pale. She angrily said, "The Empress is too despicable and shameless."
Qi Jin was speechless. "Empress Dowager!"
"You don't have to speak for her. Aijia knows that I used to treat her like a daughter, but that's because I didn't see her true colors. She pretended not to care about the selection of beauties, but in fact, she was playing tricks behind the scenes. She made the Emperor listen to her arrangements and marry all the beauties. How can aijia not be angry?" The Empress Dowager cried regretfully. "She shouldn't have been allowed to get close to the Emperor in the palace."
His Majesty must have been possessed to be so infatuated with her.
When Qi Jin heard the Empress Dowager's words, she knew that no matter what she said, it was useless. The Empress Dowager would not listen.
Palace of Heavenly Purity, Conference Hall.
Mo Rongzhan summoned the cabinet ministers and the generals of the military camps for the news that the General Garrison of the Wasteland had sent back a few days ago. This time, leading the troops to the Wasteland may not necessarily be a battle, but it was always good to be on guard.
"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to lead the troops to the Wasteland." General Meng stood up and said.
"This subject is also willing to go." Another general also stood up.
Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "I have already decided who to send to the Wasteland. However, what do you think of Xiliang's actions?"
"This subject thinks that Xiliang doesn't have the guts to fight against our Jin Kingdom. Deploying a large number of troops at the border must be to test our attitude. Even so, we can't let Xiliang think that our Jin Kingdom is easy to bully." General Meng said.
"Do you also think so?" Mo Rongzhan looked at everyone.
Elder Xu thought for a moment and said, "This subject thinks that Xiliang is not just testing us."
"What do you mean, Your Excellency Xu?" General Meng asked doubtfully. Did Xiliang really dare to go to war with the Jin Kingdom? Did they think that they could succeed?
Ye Chunnan said, "This subject also thinks that Xiliang's deployment of a large number of troops at the border is not just to provoke and test us."
General Meng looked at Ye Chunnan and said, "General Ye, do you think that Xiliang has the ability to be the enemy of our Jin Kingdom?"
"This is not a question of whether they have the ability or not." Ye Chunnan said, "Xiliang has been secretly training military horses for many years. Their horses are tall and fast, not much worse than Ferghana horses. Don't think that they are really weak after losing to Wan Ziliang."
"It seems that General Ye has not gone to war much. That's why you are so afraid of Xiliang." State General Fu Jiao snorted coldly.
Ye Chunnan shook his head and said, "Perhaps I am not as experienced as you, but I definitely know more about Xiliang than you do."
"This subject thinks that General Ye is right." Elder Xu nodded and said, "We still have to be more vigilant against Xiliang."
General Meng said, "Instead of worrying here, why don't we go to the Wasteland and defeat Xiliang directly? They won't dare to do anything even if they want to."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly and said, "As long as Xiliang does not attack the border, we have to bide our time. Ye Chunnan, you will lead the troops to the Wasteland."
"Yes!" Ye Chunnan immediately accepted the order.
"Your Majesty, General Ye has just returned to the Jin Kingdom. It doesn't seem appropriate for him to lead the troops now." Fu Jiao said with a frown.
"General Ye has indeed just returned to the Jin Kingdom. However, when he was in Dongqing, he fought with Xiliang and made great contributions. This is not the first time he has gone to war." Elder Xu clasped his hands in front of him and said with his head slightly lowered.
Mo Rongzhan said, "That's right. Ye Chunnan is indeed the most suitable."
Since even the Emperor had said so, they naturally did not have to object.
"General Ye, go back and make preparations. Three days later, select 10,000 elite troops to follow you to the Wasteland." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a low voice.
"General, yes!" Ye Chunnan put his hands together and bowed.
Mo Rongzhan wanted to say a few more words, but he saw Eunuch Fu hurriedly walk in and whisper in his ear, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has fainted."
