Chapter 292 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Part 41)

"Your Majesty, are you awake? His Majesty has gone to court, and before he left he instructed the servants not to wake you!"

Cui Li thought about Liang Sheng who had been worried these past two days, so she didn't say much and just asked Cuiyun to bring the palace skirt she was going to wear today.

Cuiyun smiled and helped Cui Li change clothes. After they were dressed and washed, she helped Cui Li walk around the small garden.

In the golden autumn of October, when the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, the morning breeze still has the fragrance of sweet osmanthus, which makes people feel refreshed.

"My Lady, breakfast is ready."

Cui Li: "Okay, let's go back and have dinner first."

After eating a rich and nutritious breakfast, Cui Li asked about Liang Sheng's whereabouts.

Cui Li: "Before His Majesty left, did you say when you would come back?"

Cuiyun glanced at her master's expression, which was quite calm. She felt relieved and said, "His Majesty is busy with government affairs today, so he won't come to see you at noon. His Majesty said he would come to Chengqian Palace in the evening."

Cui Li: "Really? I always feel like you're hiding something from me. Well, I should say, you've been hiding something from me. Is there something in my lost memories that you don't want me to know?"

Cuiyun gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with guilt. She whispered, "Master, I'm sorry. I haven't dared to tell you what happened in the past few years. But I can tell you that amnesia may not be a bad thing. You've suffered so much in the past few years. Every time I see you sitting alone by the window in silence, I feel so sorry for you."

Seeing Cuiyun looking guilty about what she had done to her, Cui Li shook her head and sighed.

Cui Li: "As you said, what I have lost are painful memories. If it is painful, who caused such a situation? Losing my memory does not mean that it did not happen. If I regain my memory, how should I view the things that happened during this period of amnesia? Why does His Majesty not allow me to leave Chengqian Palace? Is he afraid of meeting someone?"

Cui Li: "His Majesty has been restless recently. He is afraid that I will know something. If you don't tell me when my aunt will return to the palace, I will go and ask her."

Cuiyun knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, you have suffered! It is Cuiyun who failed to protect you. The Queen Mother will be able to return to the palace in a few days. When the Queen Mother is here, everything will be fine."

Cui Li personally helped Cuiyun up and wiped her tears.

Cui Li: "Okay, why are you still crying? Since my aunt is coming back, I will go to greet her in person. My memory still stays in the spring of that year, when my aunt was still Queen Cui. I wonder how she is doing now?"

"The Queen Mother is naturally graceful and elegant, and loves you the most."

Cuiyun looked hesitant and left in a hurry, making an excuse to get some medicine.

The Queen Mother's return to the palace was a big event, and all the concubines came to the palace gate to welcome the Queen Mother.

After a round of greetings and formalities, the Queen Mother glanced at the crowd and said with some disappointment:

"Your Majesty, why didn't Li'er come to greet me? Is her injury healed? I haven't seen her in half a year."

Liang Sheng: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, my cousin injured her forehead some time ago and has been dizzy from time to time. Last night, her headache came back and she went to bed very late. I was afraid that she would drag her sick body to greet you, so I didn't let her know that you were returning to the palace today."

Empress Dowager Cui frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "What's wrong with the Imperial Hospital staff? How did they let Li'er develop a headache? Li'er isn't even 10 yet, what's going to happen to her in the future? This harem is truly restless. I've only been away for over half a year, and just as I received word that Concubine Xu was pregnant, I received news that your wonderful son is gone. My beloved niece lay in bed for a whole day and night before waking up! Some people in the harem are truly ruthless, their schemes and intrigues working like a fish in water."

Queen Mother Cui glanced at the concubines in the harem indifferently. The concubines she glanced at all lowered their eyebrows and eyes, looking obedient and law-abiding.

Liang Sheng: "It's my fault for not protecting Li'er well and letting her suffer. You don't have to worry. Li Yuanzheng adjusted the prescription for Li'er. The medicine is effective this time. I think she will get better slowly. The headache won't accompany Li'er forever."

Liang Sheng: "This time, I have thoroughly investigated the harem and arrested many people. I think those people can serve as a warning to others. If I find those who harbor evil and try to make trouble behind the scenes again, I will not show mercy."

The emperor's bloody words made some people with ulterior motives dare not act rashly. At least Ji Mingyue did not dare to punish Geng Feiluan and Ji Wei.
