Chapter 203: Closing the palace and locking the courtyard
Lu Yunxi sent Si Tingyan away and returned to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The Queen Mother had been waiting eagerly for a long time, for fear that Lu Yunxi would be unstable for a while, and she would hold on to this matter, but instead annoy the emperor.
Seeing Lu Yunxi slowly walking into the courtyard, the Queen Mother's heart was a little more stable.
She hurried out, grabbed Lu Yunxi's wrist, patted the back of her hand gently, stared at Lu Yunxi's eyes, and asked with concern, "The mourning family is only afraid that you will not be able to hold back your heart for a while, and you will have a quarrel with Your Majesty." It seems that you are also a person who can stabilize things. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi raised his head and stared at the Queen Mother's eyes.
Outside the upper study, hearing that His Majesty's punishment was just a painless means, Lu Yunxi's heart was also stable.
However, at this moment, seeing that the Queen Mother cared so much about herself, Lu Yunxi could no longer bear the emotions churning in her heart.
The tip of her nose twitched, and she cried out with a "wow".
The Queen Mother was at a loss for a while, so she only hugged Lu Yunxi into her arms, patted her back gently, and sighed twice, "Good boy, just cry." I've wronged you for this time. ”
Su Fuyu leaned on the queen mother's arms and cried for a long time, and only after she was tired did she straighten up.
saw that Mama Lu had already walked briskly from outside the hospital.
She saluted the Queen Mother and Su Fuyu, and then replied, "Queen Mother, the slave has already announced your will." ”
Lu Yunxi raised her head in confusion and stared at the side face of the Queen Mother.
"The mourning family can't manage the affairs outside the palace, and His Majesty doesn't allow the mourning family to interfere, but the mourning family can still call the shots in the affairs of the palace. ”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother turned around, grabbed Lu Yunxi's wrist, and pulled her to take two steps into the house.
"This Lu Caimeng has repeatedly stirred up trouble in the palace, which is really hateful! The mourning family has made a decree to lock her up in the palace and confine her for three months, and she is not allowed to come out. It's a little bit of your concern. ”
When Lu Yunxi heard this, a warm current also slid through his heart.
She saluted and thanked the Queen Mother, but there was still a faint grievance in her heart.
Mama Lu passed on the will, and Lu Caimeng's east courtyard was sealed.
Concubine Cao stood outside the courtyard, seeing those guards standing outside the door one by one, not allowing anyone to approach, and her heart was also very happy.
"This Lu Caimeng is also deserved. ”
Cao Concubine stared at the direction of the courtyard gate, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice.
When the girl behind her heard this, she supported Concubine Cao, followed her gaze twice, and nodded slightly, "Lu Guanniang framed the county lord and plotted to kill the county lord's grandfather, if it weren't for the fact that the young family was the guarantor, where would the queen mother be willing to keep her life?"
Concubine Cao turned around and walked two steps into her courtyard, then said, "In this palace, death is the easiest thing. Since the Queen Mother left her alive, she wanted her to see all the hardships and hatreds in this palace. You just have to send the message, and you are not allowed to give her good food, and you are not allowed to move around in her palace. Leave only one close person to serve you, and let everyone else withdraw. ”
Lu Caimeng watched the door of the compound be closed, and the girls and servants around him were sent away, leaving only one girl to serve closely.
This girl is the most unaccustomed to Lu Caimeng.
She scolded in the courtyard, and while unhappily putting those brooms in their seats, she said in a deep voice, "If a person is really unlucky, he will have to stuff his teeth when he drinks water." The sisters have gone out to enjoy their blessings, and I have been left alone to take care of such a vicious man. ”
Listening to the girl's vicious words one by one into his ears, Lu Caimeng's hands clenched tighter, even his knuckles began to turn white, and his palms were full of cold sweat.
The Queen Mother will punish herself like this, also because of Lu Yunxi, that slut!
Seeing the dim color in this palace, Lu Caimeng's heart was even more annoyed, and he secretly decided that no matter what happened, he would have to get out of this palace smoothly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a "squeak" from the door of the east courtyard.
The girl saw the guards coming in, and hurriedly greeted her, "Brother guard, let's see if you can change me out." ”
When the guard heard this, he waved his hand unhappily, "Who is left to serve in the courtyard, it is the meaning of Concubine Cao's mother, where do you want to change it? You go out first, I have something to say to Lu Guanniang." ”
When the girl heard this, she stomped her foot, twisted her body, and went to the apse.
The guard came to the door, knocked lightly, got a little closer, and lowered his voice, "Lu Guanniang, my subordinates are people from the prince's mansion." I also asked the official to open the door and see me. ”
Lu Caimeng's eyes tightened, and his heart sank.
She rolled over and got out of the couch, and opened the door, only to see the guard standing under the porch, and cautiously glanced around.
"Are you the person next to Ouyang Zhi?" Lu Caimeng stood by the door, staring at the guard, and asked tentatively.
The guard agreed, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Caimeng, "This thing, the official lady should be no stranger, right?"
That jade pendant is not a side object, it is Ouyang Zhi's personal thing, Lu Caimeng looked at that thing, and his heart was a little more stable.
Seeing that the vigilant look on her face slowed down a little, the guard leaned in a little, lowered his voice, and said softly, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has sent a message in, and instructed his subordinates to open an opening by the gate of the East Courtyard tonight, and His Highness has something to discuss with the official lady." Please also ask the official to wait for His Royal Highness. ”
When Lu Caimeng heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red.
Ever since she first met Ouyang Zhi, she had a sense of admiration in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that she was able to avenge her mother that day, how could she be willing to marry into the palace like this?
How many concubines around His Majesty, all of them are beautiful and fragrant, and her appearance is not outstanding in the palace, but it is just because His Majesty is willing to look at her a few more times, so she struggles in this palace.
Hearing the guard's words at this moment, Lu Caimeng's heart was a little more joyful.
She put the jade pendant close to her body and nodded slowly, "You go and tell His Royal Highness the Prince that I will wait for him tonight." ”
Seeing this, the guard agreed, glanced around to make sure that no one noticed him, and then quickly left the porch and went out of the east courtyard.
Lu Caimeng looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and he had a little more idea in his heart.
The girl soon walked through the corridor from the backyard, and saw Lu Caimeng standing under the corridor, stepped forward a few steps, and said in a loud voice, "What are the officials doing standing here? Aren't you standing here trying to make things difficult for your slaves?"
After speaking, the girl pushed Lu Caimeng into the room, turned over and closed the door with a bang.
