Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The tower behind the dungeon has only two floors. The first floor is for storing sundries, and the second floor has another staircase to go up. There are more old things in it, and the musty smell is everywhere, and the dust is rising.

The jailers naturally didn't have the nerve to help her clean up.

Xia Bai'an was already prepared to choke people, but when he entered, he found two maids in the palace who were simply cleaning up, and Nanny Mingxin, who was supposed to accompany the Queen Mother, was sitting beside her, and when she saw her coming, she nodded slightly.

"sit down."

"Yes."

Xia Bai'an nodded and then sat down.

The maids sorted out the general idea, then left in a hurry and closed the door, leaving only her and Nanny Mingxin.

Sister Mingxin looked at her: "You resigned as an imperial physician, and in the future you will only be the wife of the school lieutenant, without any official position, let alone a royal order. In addition to your humble background, have you ever thought about how to retain a place in the circle of women in the capital? "

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Bai'an shook his head, "If Mo Che wants something in the future, he will fight for it himself. It probably won't be necessary for me to win over any female relatives. I just want to stay away from disputes by doing this. I'm sorry, but the Queen Mother is the only one."

Nanny Mingxin raised her eyes.

Xia Bai'an continued to explain: "I promised the Queen Mother that His Highness Wang Baoan would be safe in the capital, but His Highness Wang An has not returned yet, and I have no official position, so I can no longer do this. On the contrary, the Queen Mother agreed first. I have not done enough to move my son into Baichuan Academy, and if the Empress Dowager has other orders in the future, I am willing to help."

Nanny Mingxin stared at her for a long while, then just let out a long sigh.

Get along for so many days.

She had seen how Xia Bai'an made the Empress Dowager happy, and how she treated the Empress Dowager as a year-end friend. She was playful and cute in private, but she gave the Empress Dowager a good face in public, making the Empress Dowager's face that had been indifferent for more than ten years show a smile again.

Queen Mother, it is naturally impossible to just regard her as an insignificant imperial physician.

But Xia Bai'an seemed to be doing business for business and had no selfishness towards the Queen Mother.

Nanny Mingxin inexplicably felt worthless for the Queen Mother, and got up to leave.

She hasn't left yet.

Xia Bai'an suddenly made a sound.

"But nanny, as the captain's wife, you can enter the palace from time to time, right?"

"Huh?" Ming Xin's mother paused, then turned to look at her, "What else do you want to do in the palace?"

Xia Bai'an said frankly: "Accompanying the Queen Mother, she is very happy when she is with me."

She thought of the empress dowager's lack of interest in the carriage.

I also remembered how the queen mother was trapped in the palace as a prison bird.

Those looks are so uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai'an was afraid that Mammy would think that she had something to ask the Queen Mother, and that's why she was so wooing, so she quickly stood up and explained.

"I don't need the queen mother to do anything for me. It's just that I know that heart disease is sometimes more difficult to cure than physical disease. Although Mrs. Wei Guogong is trapped in the mansion as the head of the house, she can still go out to relax and play, but even so, she There is always responsibility and solemnity in his eyes, and he is cautious in doing things and making friends.

As for the Empress Dowager, she seemed to have few friends and trustworthy people, and she seldom left the palace.

This may also be the root cause of the empress dowager's prolonged illness. As a doctor, since I help treat it, it is good to be able to cure the physical ailments, but if I can cure the heart ailments with my meager strength, it is not a bad thing if I think about it. "

Nanny Mingxin stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly broke into a smile.

"Bai An, you don't look like someone who survived the catastrophe."

"Since we have the rest of our lives, shouldn't we calmly arrange things for the future?" Xia Bai'an asked seriously, not understanding why Nanny Mingxin suddenly laughed. Could it be that she felt that there was no silver 300 taels in her explanation?

Just when she was about to explain clearly.

Nanny Mingxin smiled softly: "Of course, Mrs. Colonel can also enter the palace. As for the assassination of the emperor today, Mrs. Colonel should clear up the suspicion first. The old slave will take care of the Empress Dowager."

"Thank you mammy."

Xia Baian bowed slightly.

Nanny Mingxin has already left. Before leaving, she told the people outside: "Take good care of Mrs. Lieutenant, if anything goes wrong, the Empress Dowager will not forgive you lightly."

"Yes!"

The guards nodded one after another, not daring to neglect.

And Nanny Mingxin went back to the empress dowager's tent, relayed all the words Xia Bai'an said just now, and added.

"The old slave can't see whether she wants to continue to win over you, Queen Mother, or whether she is just sincere."

The queen mother leaned on the soft couch, pondered for a long time, but shook her head with a smile.

"Even if it's fake, Ai's family will recognize it. As she said, Ai's family has been trapped in the palace for too long, and it seems that they have forgotten the taste of happiness... As long as she is still willing to make Ai's family happy, even if it is fake, The Ai family also recognized it."

Nanny Mingxin's eyes were moist, and she leaned forward to support the queen mother: "Perhaps, Mrs. Lieutenant is sincere. She won't compete with you for the late emperor's favor, and she doesn't need you to plan for Mo Che's future. She may , I really just like to be with you."

"If that's the case... that's even better..."

The queen mother smiled, patted Ming Xin's hand lightly, and said, "We are all old, and when we are about to die, we should learn from Bai An and be happy for a few days."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Nurse Mingxin also took the hand of Empress Dowager, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

How many times the two of them walked side by side in the middle of the palace, and saw how many intrigues in the palace, but in the end it was nothing but the result of mutual trust between the master and the servant.

If there is no Xia Bai'an, the queen mother only thinks that King An and the emperor should not be brothers.

But now seeing that lively young man live recklessly and calmly, the old heart is moved accordingly.

Xia Bai'an was able to keep his life hanging by a thread just now, and now he is seriously planning for the future.

How could they, the old elders, walk the rest of the way in a daze?

"Ming Xin, tell the emperor later that Ai's family will send a letter to his mother's family, transfer some people to train the emperor, and reorganize a team of cronies to protect him, so that he doesn't have to worry."

"Yes."

Nanny Mingxin nodded and hurried over.

It seems that the queen mother still cares about the emperor, knowing that the emperor doesn't trust Sun Taiwei now and has no one available, so she uses her natal family who has been out of touch for a long time.

On the way, Mother Mingxin saw Li Chen leading Kang Heng towards the dungeon.

Nanny Mingxin was stunned for a moment, but she guessed that Li Chen was looking for Huang Min to get the truth, so she didn't think much about it.

at the same time.

Taking advantage of Mo Che's absence from meeting the emperor, Li Chen came to the tower behind the dungeon.

Kang Heng easily bribed these forbidden soldiers—these few forbidden soldiers were temporarily dispatched by the emperor. They were not many in number, and they didn't know what happened. people go in.

Li Chen went up to the second floor alone, opened the door and entered.

Seeing him, Xia Bai'an put down his pen, puzzled: "His Royal Highness, what are you doing here?"
