Chapter 2613: Chapter 2613: Alone in Silence (5)
Although Yang Ruxin was in the side hall, she was always attentively listening to the movements in the main hall. Although some of the conversation wasn’t very clear, she managed to catch some of it. By piecing things together, she understood the grievances between the two.
As expected, Nian Qianqian entered the palace for the Empress Dowager, and it turns out, the Empress Dowager knows martial arts.
This realization left her extremely shocked yet immensely relieved. Fortunately, her younger sisters-in-law didn’t enter the palace; she understood the principle that the more you know, the sooner you die.
But what should she do next? Should she go over or not?
"Elder sister?" Erni came over and poked Yang Ruxin.
"What’s the matter?" Yang Ruxin snapped back to reality.
"What are you thinking about?" Erni frowned, "The princess has called you twice."
"It’s nothing." Yang Ruxin shook her head, then looked at Qi Zizi, "What’s up?"
"Oh, it’s nothing, I was just wondering, when will they grow up?" Qi Zizi poked Hei Dou and then poked Lun Dou.
"Soon." Yang Ruxin smiled.
At this moment, someone came from outside; it was someone sent by the Emperor to ask when the Empress Dowager would be attending the banquet.
Yang Ruxin sighed in relief, finally having an excuse to go over.
But just as she was about to enter the main hall, the little eunuch who had come to inquire left to report back, because the Empress Dowager said she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t attend the banquet. Meanwhile, Xinxin and the three children wouldn’t be suitable for the banquet, so a table should be set up here.
In the main hall, the Empress Dowager was gone, and only Nian Qianqian sat blankly on a chair.
"Aunt Nian." Yang Ruxin hurriedly stepped forward, calling out worriedly.
"Xinxin." Nian Qianqian looked up, "I’m sorry."
Yang Ruxin shook her head.
"I think I should go back first." Nian Qianqian closed her eyes for a moment, thinking she had been wrong all these years, it was actually her fault all along.
"I’ll go with you!"
"No need." Nian Qianqian shook her head, "Don’t worry, I won’t seek death or run away from home, I just want to be alone quietly."
Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, using her sense to probe Nian Qianqian’s true intentions, and after a while, she nodded: "Okay."
By the time the Empress Dowager finished tidying up and came out, Nian Qianqian had already left.
"Empress Dowager, you don’t look well." Yang Ruxin frowned, "Shall I check your pulse?"
"Alright." The Empress Dowager didn’t refuse, "Getting on in years, there are always various ailments."
The nanny, however, looked very worried but didn’t dare to say anything.
Yang Ruxin approached, taking the Empress Dowager’s wrist, and instantly furrowed her brows. Although the healing medicine had been consumed, Nian Qianqian’s strike was not restrained, resulting in damage to the internal organs, and the elderly Empress’s recovery would take a long time.
"What’s wrong? Has it taken a turn for the worse?" The Empress Dowager smiled, "At my age, even if I die now, it wouldn’t be a loss."
"Empress Dowager." The nanny was the first to have tears in her eyes.
The Empress Dowager, however, shook her head.
"With me, the little Divine Doctor here, how could I let anything happen to the Empress Dowager?" Yang Ruxin smiled, "I guarantee the Empress Dowager will live to a hundred."
"Hehe... cough cough..." The Empress Dowager laughed and then coughed.
Yang Ruxin quickly took out silver needles to pierce two major acupoints and then produced a medicine pill, handing it over.
The nanny wanted to take it, but the Empress Dowager stopped her, directly accepting the medicine pill and placing it in her mouth, then patted Yang Ruxin’s hand: "Thank you, Xinxin."
