Chapter 781: Take a Bowl of Heart Blood!

s her mother recounted the gossip from the teahouse, her spirits soaring.She suddenly felt that she might have neglected her mother too much in her daily life!My mother spends her days at home, busy w...Grandmother Sun presented it to her mistress and whispered, "Madam, did the Daoist priest reveal celestial secrets and get struck by lightning!"

Mrs. Wu also guessed as much, and felt a little uneasy.

If she hadn't kept pestering and pressuring him, this old Taoist wouldn't have been like this...

"Come on, let's get down the mountain! Go back, hurry!"

Mrs. Wu, disregarding her disheveled state, called out to the people and hurried away.

She was terrified that another bolt of lightning would strike her down!

The master and his servants, after much difficulty, finally got into the carriage and hurried back to the new capital.

After walking for most of the time, Mrs. Wu finally felt a little relieved.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She didn't want to waste a moment and immediately ordered the driver to take her to the palace gates. She presented her credentials to the guards and requested an audience with the Empress.

The Empress's mother wants to see the Empress, who dares to stop her.

Then, after a short while, Lady Wu sat in the Kunning Palace drinking tea to calm her nerves.

The Empress saw that her mother's clothes were disheveled and her expression was amiss, so she asked, "Mother, where did you come from Did someone on the road make things difficult for you"

"No, no!" Mrs. Wu quickly waved her hand, drank down her tea in one gulp, and then asked the Empress to drive away all the maids and eunuchs. Only then did she take her daughter's hand and carefully explain everything.

I met an old immortal on the mountain. I asked the old immortal to calculate my fortune, and she didn't miss a word.

At last, she lowered her voice and whispered, "I think the old immortal's words make sense."

"The Li family fled their home in poverty, yet today they are more prosperous than our Marquis's household. It's all thanks to that girl.

And some time ago, many people also said that the girl indeed had the ability to turn misfortune into good fortune. All the dangerous situations she encountered eventually ended safely and soundlessly.

"If it weren't for stealing your empress's fortune, that peasant girl would have died in the north long ago. How could she possibly be treated with such pampering and adoration"

The Empress frowned, remembering Princess Kangle. She did not like her either.

While the Third Princess was the Emperor's biological daughter, in terms of favor, she still ranked after Princess Kangle.

To be honest, several years ago, Princess Kangle and the Third Princess had a fight. The Third Princess was furious and locked up Princess Kangle for a while.

After reprimanding her harshly, the emperor seemed as if he didn't want to see her anymore.

Could it be that this little girl stole her fortune

The more she thought about it, the worse her headache became. She called out to the maids outside her door and asked for a bowl of ginseng soup.

The maid wasn't the two she trusted most, but she was familiar enough.

Perhaps to please her master, she whispered, “My lady, your headache has improved a lot over the past few days.”

"These two days, how have you fallen ill again I'll go summon the imperial physician for you to take your pulses and ensure your well-being."

Before the Empress could respond, Lady Wu had a flash of inspiration. She raised her hand to stop the Empress's tea and asked several questions.

The Empress, though bewildered, nevertheless answered carefully.

Mrs. Wu immediately drove the maidservant away and then said, "Silly girl, you don't know many things in the palace.

"

Some time ago, the county princess Kang Le fell seriously ill and nearly died. But it is said that the emperor bestowed upon her a century-old ginseng, and she has recently recovered.

"Think about it carefully, when she was ill, wasn't that the time you felt most comfortable Now that she's recovered, haven't your headaches started again!"

The Empress narrowed her eyes, comparing carefully, and her face changed.

If her mother had said those words about the old Taoist priest just a moment ago, she would have believed only five out of ten. Now, however, she believes eight out of ten.

She couldn't help but ask: "Did the mother ask the old Taoist how to regain her good fortune"

"Of course, I asked!" Mrs. Wu's expression became complex, her voice dropping even lower.

"The old Daoist said, to take a bowl of blood from the heart of Lady Kangle, after you consume it, you will be able to regain your qi and soon be able to conceive and give birth."

Blood from the heart!

The Empress was so startled that she spilled the tea from her hand!

"Mother, did the old Taoist really say that He's going to take County Master Kangle's life!"

Of course Mrs. Wu knew this, so she was also a bit uneasy. "That's what the Daoist said, and after he finished speaking, he was struck by lightning and disappeared. All that was left was a blood-stained whisk."

"Perhaps it was because I revealed celestial secrets, and incurred the wrath of heaven. Even the pavilion we were sitting in collapsed, almost crushing me to death!"

The Empress calmed herself and paced the ground a few times before saying, "Mother, you should return first. As for this matter, I will try to determine its truth."

"Otherwise, things will get messy. Not to mention the Li family and Xin Ting Hou won't let this go, the Emperor there would be even angrier with me!"

"Alright, you should be careful too. If you need help at home, just send someone to let us know." Madam Wu was also quite frightened today, so she quickly got up and said goodbye.

The Empress instructed, "Mother, don't tell anyone about today's events, not even Father. And those servants, they must keep quiet too."

"Rest assured, I will make all the arrangements." Mrs. Wu replied and then left the palace.

The emperor paced back and forth in the bedroom, countless circles. When she looked up, she saw that the sun had already begun to set in the west. She finally made up her mind and called a palace maid in, giving her detailed instructions for a long time...

In Li's courtyard at Suijin Beach, the old lady was in good spirits because she had taken a trip to the town.

When I got home, I saw Xingxing and Yueya playing together. I joined in the fun for a while too.

Li Zhensheng missed his mother and came back early. Seeing this, he was also happy.

When his mother sat down, he would accompany her in conversation.

Roundy is about to be one month old.

Production and washing three were all at the old house, how every time it's full moon should be in the Earl's mansion to entertain relatives and friends.

It's not that our family is greedy for the gifts, it's just that occasions like this are opportunities for various wealthy families to interact and network.

Networking is something that you build through your interactions and connections.

Li Laotai is no longer in charge of the household now. All major and minor matters are taken care of by her daughter-in-law and granddaughters-in-law.

So, she called Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, and Wenjuan over to discuss it.

Also, have Chunsxiu come over and listen along. Then she can relay it back to Wanyi.

Tao Hongying had previously made up her mind to go out more and not stay at home all the time.

At this moment, she accepted the task and said to her mother, "Mother, leave this to me. I'll take care of it."

“Of course, Third Sister-in-law and Wenjuan should lend a hand too! If there are any unfamiliar faces, I’ll have Madam Wen guide them.”

Li Laotai nodded and replied, "Alright, don't worry too much. Just do your best. Everyone knows our family is just a small farming household. If it goes well, everyone will be surprised. If it doesn't go well, no one will make fun of us."

Wenjuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Grandma, you make it sound like our family has quite an advantage because of where we come from."

Everyone else was laughing along, and that settled it.

Jia Yin changed her dress and came out, not knowing what was going on, when her mother grabbed her and together they started brainstorming the banquet menu.

Of course, Jia Yin wouldn't be stumped. The delicacies swirling in her mind were practically at her fingertips.

Even, she was also preparing a big cake for Little Yuan.

Everyone was bustling with ideas, the scene was quite lively.

At this moment, Shui Ling suddenly ran in from outside, shouting in surprise.

"My Lady! Someone has arrived from the palace, saying that the Empress has a gift for you!"

Did the Empress bestow a reward

Everyone was stunned into silence.

The Empress isn't exactly friendly to the Li family, what kind of lunatic has she pulled out today!
