Chapter 147

She was a little curious, what would have happened to Xu Yuan if there had not been this Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Xu Yuan replied to the Queen Mother calmly and unhurriedly, "Queen Mother, if it had not been for this, I would have given him his due."

It was just a matter of time. It was her luck to be able to save the Queen Mother by chance.

The Queen Mother nodded and looked at Xu Yuan with admiration. She knew that being able to secretly exchange the child after the incident was enough to prove that the woman in front of her was brave and resourceful.

"Xu Yuan, you saved my life. If you have any difficulties, you can take out this token and see me." The Queen

Mother took out a token from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Yuan.

Her action was tantamount to giving Xu Yuan a support.

Xu Yuan reached out to take it, and was even more respectful.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Then I will take my leave first." The Queen Mother

nodded slightly, full of satisfaction, raised her hand and said to Xu Yuan, "Go."

After Xu Yuan left Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.

"The Queen Mother seems to be very satisfied with this Marquis' wife." The nanny who followed the Queen Mother asked.

The Queen Mother smiled and agreed, "This woman is brave and resourceful, and has such medical skills. I like her very much."

"Queen Mother, I also heard about something that seems to be related to the Regent."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, the nanny also mentioned it at this time.

The mother of His Royal Highness the Regent and the Queen Mother are sisters, although their friendship is rare in the harem.

For this reason, after the mother of the Regent gave birth to Ye Siyan and passed away, the Queen Mother raised him under her name.

The emperor and His Royal Highness the Regent have a deep relationship.

When the Queen Mother heard about the things related to Ye Siyan, her expression was a little surprised.

"Si Yan, what happened there?"

The Queen Mother asked the Nanny.

"Si Yan is old enough to get married."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Regent returned to the palace two days ago with a baby in his arms."

"A baby?" The Queen Mother was stunned, obviously not expecting this to happen.

She pondered for a moment and felt incredible, "You mean to say that the baby is Si Yan's?"

The Nanny shook her head, "Queen Mother, I am not sure whether the child is His Royal Highness the Regent."

Even these things were what she heard.

The Queen Mother felt more and more that something was wrong. Si Yan had not yet married, how could a child appear out of thin air? From her understanding, Ye Si Yan would not be someone who would casually bring a baby back to the palace.

There must be something strange during this period.

Seeing the empress dowager bowing her head and not saying anything, the nanny asked carefully, "Empress Dowager, do you need to send someone to the palace to inquire?"

"Go and tell the emperor about this. If I send someone there now, it will easily cause Si Yan to misunderstand."

Although the empress dowager wanted to know the origins of the child, she was worried that these actions would make Ye Si Yan unhappy.

If the emperor asked, the situation would be different.

At this time, Xu Yuan was already on the way out of the palace. Just as she passed the imperial garden, she heard a call from not far away.

"Beautiful sister!"

Hearing this name, Xu Yuan immediately understood the identity of the visitor. She looked up and saw a child running towards her.

"The young lady is the fifth prince." Cui Liu, who was following Xu Yuan, reminded.

Xu Yuan nodded gently, with a smile on her face. When she looked again, Ye Ling had already run to her, and her words and actions were very friendly, "Beautiful sister, it's great to see you again."

"Two days ago, I begged my mother to agree to let me leave the palace. I didn't expect to see you here." Ye Ling's voice was full of joy, and it was obvious that she was very happy to see Xu Yuan.

"Is the fifth prince here alone?"

Xu Yuan asked Ye Ling.

Ye Ling shook his head and pointed to the back, "There is also my mother."

As he spoke, the queen had already come towards him with people.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan bowed in the direction of the queen, "Your servant greets the queen."

"Madam Hou, there is no need to be polite." The queen had a smile on her face, and she understood when she saw Xu Yuan holding something in her hand.

"It seems that Madam Hou has fulfilled her wish for this trip to the palace."

Xu Yuan smiled, which was also a response to the queen's words.

"Madam Queen, do you have something to ask me?"

Xu Yuan felt that the appearance of Ye Ling and the queen was too coincidental, as if they were waiting here specifically.

Although she didn't have much contact with the palace, she found that both the queen and the queen mother of Shoukang Palace were good people.

Xu Yuan also had the same attitude towards people who were kind.

The queen didn't expect Xu Yuan to ask in such a straightforward way.

She winked at the maids around her, indicating that they should take Ye Ling to another place for the time being.

Then she said to Xu Yuan, "Madam Hou, I do have a request. I wonder if you can help me with this?"

Xu Yuan replied, "Queen, please tell me."

"Since I saw Madam Hou's medical skills that day, I have been particularly impressed. I wonder if I can ask Madam Hou to treat someone."

Xu Yuan was stunned, and quickly reacted after meeting the queen's gaze.

The person the queen was talking about might be...

"Queen, are you talking about the eldest prince?" Although Xu Yuan had a guess in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it again.

"Yes."

Seeing that the words had been asked by Xu Yuan, the queen no longer concealed it.

"Madam Hou, my eldest son has suffered from leg disease since he was injured in hunting two years ago. Now he can only move around in a wheelchair."

"Madam Hou is a skilled doctor. Do you know how to treat him?"

In the past two years, in addition to the imperial doctors in the palace, the emperor has also posted notices to invite some famous doctors outside the palace to treat him, but there has been no progress.

She originally had no hope in this matter, but until Xu Yuan appeared, she could cure the old illness of the empress dowager, so whether there is any other way.

Even a little hope is enough.

Xu Yuan heard what the queen said and fell into thought. She had met this eldest prince several times in her previous life.

When the Duke's Mansion was suppressed by Shen Yun'an and other forces, he even came forward to plead for his father. Even though the final effect was not significant, she still remembered this friendship silently.

If it was just a simple treatment, Xu Yuan would have agreed directly, but the leg disease had been there for two years, and so many doctors were invited to help, which was enough to prove the difficulty of the matter.

Once she agreed, she would definitely get things done.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan said to the queen, "Queen, can you find another time for me to take the eldest prince's pulse first?"

"Healing is different from other things. You need to see it in detail to know."

The Queen was stunned. She was worried that Xu Yuan would hesitate or refuse. She also knew that it was too presumptuous to ask for this at this time.

"Okay, it just so happens that Zi Lan is not in the capital these days." The Queen thought for a moment and asked Xu Yuan, "Madam Hou, I wonder if you will be free in seven days?"
