Chapter 220: Du's Whistleblowing

Yu Xuan wanted to step forward to help her down, but when he saw her jump, she fell to the ground with a light movement.

Qingqing jumped down, Lu Yun had already arrived, and said with a smile: Sister, you really like to read books on the tree.

Qingqing listened to it and replied with a smile: It's better than sitting under this tree.

After speaking, Qingqing turned her eyes to look at Yu Xuan behind her, bowed slightly and saluted: The concubine asks the emperor for peace.

Yu Xuan hurriedly said: Get up.

Qingqing got up and said, "Your Majesty, Yun'er, go into the house and sit down first."

Yuxuan said: It's okay.

When the three of them entered the house, they sat down on the only tables and chairs in the temple. Qixuan Dye Zhi served the brewed tea, and after presenting a few snacks, he stepped aside.

For a moment, the three of them were speechless. In this kind of scene, Qingqing really didn't know what to say. Yu Xuan was the same, it was enough for him to just glance at Qing Qing. Lu Yun looked indifferent, after drinking the tea, he picked up the dim sum to eat, and said in his mouth: Sure enough, this dim sum is delicious, fortunately, I asked the girl to send it to my sister to taste yesterday.

Qingqing listened, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and said: Thank you Yun'er. But you see this snack is going to be eaten by you, and I haven't tasted it yet, but what should I do?

Lu Yun looked at Qing Qing, and then turned to Yu Xuan, who was also looking at her. Suddenly blushed, put down the snack in his hand, and said coquettishly: Sister is so bad! I don't eat it myself, but I blame me for not letting you taste it.

Qingqing smiled and said: Okay, don't talk about it. You eat, I'll wait for next time.

After finishing speaking, his eyes turned and he saw Yu Xuan looking at her. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled slightly and nodded.

Seeing Qingqing nodding and smiling at him, Yu Xuan's heart couldn't help but rejoice. It seems that his Qingqing has never had a grudge against him from beginning to end. That alone was enough to satisfy him.

Then, it was mostly Lu Yun who was talking, Qingqing echoed from time to time, and Yu Xuan nodded as listening. Until Sanren came to urge, saying that it was time for dinner, and the emperor should go back. Seeing this, Qingqing said first: Since this is the case, the emperor and Yun'er should go back quickly.

Hearing this, Yu Xuan stood up. Lu Yun also stood up, and didn't forget to say: Sister Qing, I'll come back tomorrow.

Qingqing stood up and smiled: If you don't get bored, come, I'm here.

Lu Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I know."

Yu Xuan looked at Qing Qing and said, "Then I went back."

Qingqing nodded and saluted: The emperor walks slowly.

Yu Xuan turned to leave, and Lu Yun followed behind. As soon as the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside saw the masters come out, they followed behind and left the cold palace.

The next day, the sky was dark, and dark clouds covered the sky and the sun was not visible. It was not a good day to go out, but Du Niangniang from Chaoxiang Palace wanted to go. Yesterday, after hearing that the emperor had gone to the Lengyou Palace, she made up her mind that when she came to ask for peace today, she must inform the Queen Mother of this matter.

Inside the Eternal Longevity Palace. The Queen Mother has risen. Du Youlan came to say goodbye, and the time was calculated.

I saw the Queen Mother sitting on a mattress cushion as before, and a ring-side chair covered with emerald green and fine forging, looking down on Du Youlan.

Du Youlan was invited into the hall, and entering the side hall was the place where the concubines below would be taken when they came to ask for peace. At this time, the Queen Mother was sitting in the first place above, facing Du Youlan, who was walking slowly.

Du Youlan stopped a few meters away, bowed her head and saluted: The concubine asks the Queen Mother for peace, and I wish the Queen Mother a healthy phoenix!

The Queen Mother listened and said, "Okay, get up."

Du Youlan's body hung lower, and said: "Empress Dowager Xie."

Fang just got up.

The Queen Mother looked at Du Youlan and saw her standing still, so she said: If you have something to say, go and sit down next to her.

Du Youlan thanked her again.

After watching the people sit down, the Queen Mother asked: Say, what's the matter?

Du Youlan said: Queen Mother, what the concubine wants to say is about Yiju Pavilion.

The Queen Mother sighed "Oh?" and asked, "It is Concubine Lu who lives in Yiju Pavilion?" What you said is related to her?

Du Youlan replied: Yes.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said: Okay, let's hear it. It's been a long time since I've heard about the harem.

Hearing this, Du Youlan told Lu Yun about going to the Cold Palace, as well as about the Cold Palace.

After listening, the Queen Mother was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: That's all you said?

When Du Youlan heard this, she understood that the Queen Mother would not take these things seriously, just as she thought. So, he said: The concubine also heard that in order to make Concubine Lu happy, the emperor even built a pavilion in that forest. Even in the Lengyou Palace, Concubine Lu not only went there often, but even asked the emperor to go with her yesterday.

After hearing those words, the darkness of the sky froze.

The Queen Mother said: What you said is true?

Du Youlan got up and said: The concubine didn't dare to lie.

The Queen Mother looked at Du Youlan intently, and saw that her expression remained unchanged, calm and generous, and she was somewhat convinced of the truth in those words.

I only heard the Queen Mother say: Okay. The mourning family knew about it. You can go back first.

Du Youlan looked at the Queen Mother, and sure enough, she looked preoccupied, so she put her mind at ease and saluted: The concubine retired first.

After saying that, he got up and turned to leave.

After Du Youlan walked away, Manager Zhang, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, stepped forward and asked: Queen Mother, do you think the emperor will really go to the cold palace?

When the Queen Mother heard this, she snorted coldly and said: The cold palace is also the emperor's harem, who said that the emperor can't go?

Manager Zhang said again: But the emperor doesn't go to the harem, but goes to the cold palace, if this is known by others, it is not good.

The Queen Mother said: He is the emperor, where can he not go? Besides, isn't there the one from Yiju Pavilion who accompanies him?

Manager Zhang thought about it carefully and said: The queen mother means that the emperor did not go to the cold palace alone, but was accompanied by the mother of the harem. As long as there is a mother, even if the emperor goes to the cold palace, no one will say anything.

The Queen Mother said: Okay, it's good in that forest.

Mr. Zhang nodded.

After a while, I heard the Queen Mother say: The emperor is very affectionate, and he has tried his best for her, and the deep roots of love are nothing more than that.

Back at Chaoxiang Palace, after thinking about it, Du Youlan called Zijuan to bring a pen and paper, write a letter, fold it and hand it to Zijuan, and let him send it out of the palace in the old way.

After a few days, Du Youlan watched the movements of Yongshou Palace, and asked Zijuan if there was a reply from Prime Minister Du. The Queen Mother did have some actions, the emperor went to Yongshou Palace once, presumably invited by the Queen Mother, and then invited Lu Yun to go, it can be seen that the Queen Mother invited them to go over separately, and talked about the Lengyou Palace. Thinking of this, Du Youlan relaxed a little. As for the letter, it took a day to receive a reply, saying that she should wait a little longer, and not act rashly and provoke trouble.

Du Youlan naturally understands that now that the Queen Mother knows everything, the emperor depends on the Queen Mother's meaning, and the days ahead should be more stable.
