Autumn is getting stronger, the leaves are dyed a little yellow, the autumn wind rolls, blowing up the dust that has not been swept away, the geographical location of Qinglan country is in the middle of the plateau and the plain, a little faster than elsewhere to feel the coolness of autumn, the people of Qinglan in addition to doing physical work, are wearing two or three layers of clothes, compared with summer, there are fewer people wandering on the street, many people are busy preparing for life after winter, there are more people in the cloth village, people are busy preparing for winter thick clothes.

The dim sum shop in the capital is a place that people patronize all year round, especially the most famous reunion pavilion, there is a queue to buy dim sum every day, only half a day a day, no longer do it after selling, close the door directly, make the dim sum color and fragrance, it is said that there is a comparison with the imperial kitchen, the dim sum master inside is from the palace, regardless of the heat of summer, the cold of winter, when the reunion pavilion opens, there are always people queuing at the door.

Every day according to their own arrangement, make different snacks every day, only make three hundred, no more than three per person, while selling out, someone wants to make another hundred every day in the reunion pavilion at a high price, no matter how high the price, in the end it is free of questions.

"Mama, these are the rose hibiscus cakes you bought before. "A good-looking girl handed over to a woman in a blue cloak who had been queuing up in the middle of the night from the Reunion Pavilion and was the first to buy at the door when she opened the door, and the woman wore a wide hood, stretched out her hand from the middle of the tightly dressed cloak, took the dim sum, and retracted it into the cloak.

"Mama, how long are you going?" The girl was wearing ordinary people's clothes, but the clothes revealed her unusual identity, ordinary girls would not use cloud brocade to make clothes, she was a person who came out of the palace.

"Go back, the Queen Mother woke up and said that I came out to look for tea, and I will go back soon. The voice that came from under the cyan hood was low and tactful, this person was Qingyuan, she hadn't seen Shen Qiqi for many days, after all, she was worried, she wanted to go and see it in person, find the right opportunity, and secretly return to the capital, of course she knew the location of the villa, and brought her close henchmen and maids, thinking that Shen Qiqi likes to eat, and she can't let the Queen Mother make white jade balls, and she can't make it as good as the Queen Mother, so she simply came to buy ready-made, the reputation of the Reunion Pavilion, even the court knows it, and Qingyuan also remembers.

"Got it, Mama. The girl replied in a low voice, and quickly disappeared into the crowd, as if she had never appeared.

Qingyuan did not move immediately, but stood in place for a while, noticing that there was nothing unusual around, before turning to leave, she was very careful not to leave any traces, walked to a narrow alley, rode the horse that had long been tied to the middle of the alley, and then rode to the villa, she was very careful to make sure that no one was following before leaving.

Qingyuan rode a horse for an hour, crossing the mountains and fields, fortunately it was a thousand miles of horses, and the foot strength was excellent, otherwise it would take at least two hours to reach the villa, she had been to the villa and knew the location. The villa is hidden in a dense mountain forest, with the help of tall trees to cover the location, and also with the help of tall trees to design the layout of the villa, all the supplies are readily available, and the hoarded materials can make the people inside live in it for a month even if they are completely isolated from the outside world.

Qingyuan bypassed the front door, found the back door from the back mountain and rode in, she had the token that Xu Shen gave before, and the person guarding the door let her in when he saw the token, and soon Qingyuan found Shen Qiqi's room, as long as she asked Xu Shen's room, she could find Shen Qiqi's room, she didn't know much about Xu Xingran, but subconsciously felt that now Shen Qiqi is very important to Xu Xingran, he will take Shen Qiqi with him, and he really didn't guess wrong.

Shen Qiqi was boiling medicine in Xu Xingran's room, and after five days of sleeplessness, the toxins in her blood were removed, and the toxins in her bone marrow could only be temporarily sealed with the help of Zhang Yao's herbs, so that they would not flow all over her body. One hand opened the lid from time to time to check the boiling of herbs, and the other hand held a fan to fan the fire, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't hear the footsteps of Qingyuan, Qingyuan's footsteps were originally light, and he wouldn't hear it if he didn't pay attention to it, which was a habit developed in court life for many years.

"Princess. Qingyuan held the door with one hand, put a cloak on his hand, and said softly: "Why are you cooking medicine?" She was ready, Shen Qiqi would scold herself or drive herself out, after all, she was sorry for Shen Qiqi and the Queen Mother, Shen Qiqi did not expose her, it was already an extreme favor.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Shen Qiqi looked up, and when he saw that it was Qingyuan, he was still very surprised, his movements stopped, and when Qingyuan saw this, he walked in, took the fan from Shen Qiqi's hand, and fanned the stove by himself.

"You sit down, this kind of thing, I'm better than you, I'm worried about you, so I came to see you, I received the news, and Ran'er brought you here, I have always wanted to hear your news, but there has been no news from you, so I came by myself, the Queen Mother fell asleep very late last night, and I have to sleep late today to get up, I will take this opportunity to come out, child, you are thin, why do you seem to be very tired?" Qingyuan's attitude when he saw Shen Qiqi was the same as before, there was no anger or dissatisfaction at all, his heart was happy and guilty, and his eyes were full of stronger love when he looked at Shen Qiqi.

"I haven't slept for a few days...... I'll talk about this later, it's too long, Xu Xingran is infected with the cold, I'm taking care of him, auntie, grandma is okay, right?" Shen Qiqi changed his tone after saying a sentence at the beginning, the story is too long, and it can't be said clearly at once, and Qingyuan can't come out for too long, her main duty is to take care of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"It's okay, she's fine, take the antidote, but I can't adapt to it for a while, I still need to recuperate slowly, rest assured, princess, in the future, I will take good care of the Queen Mother and make up for my past mistakes, if the Queen Mother has any accidents, I will not live in the world, I will be the Queen Mother all my life, you don't have to worry." ”

Qingyuan said softly to Shen Qiqi, Xu Shen's death was a relief for her, she could finally do things without conscience, she could live according to her own heart, the Empress Dowager Zhou was very good to herself, she couldn't forget, it turned out that the Empress Dowager had always known that she had poisoned herself, she had always known her hardships, and she also knew that Qingyuan had reduced the amount of poison a lot for her.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager Zhou would not have survived today.

"I know, in fact, my grandmother also ordered someone to secretly send me a secret letter, just worried that I would misunderstand you, if I hated you, it would have been unfavorable to you a long time ago, auntie, you came here today because you were worried about me, I know that you love me, and I feel sorry for my grandmother, you don't feel guilty anymore, but you, Xu Shen is gone, how is your son?"

Of course, Shen Qiqi remembered Qingyuan's hardships, maybe she came out this time for her son's whereabouts.
