Chapter 373: Deception (20)
Summoned by the Queen Mother?
Finished......
Her eyelids must have something to do with the summons of the Queen Mother.
She can't fight with the Queen Mother, why did she summon her to the palace?
Minglan didn't want to see the Queen Mother at all, the Queen Mother didn't like her in her previous life, she didn't think that the Queen Mother had just lost her only grandson, and she was Gu Shaoye's cousin, and the Queen Mother would like her.
However, the Queen Mother summoned her, and she had to go.
Usually in the house, Minglan does not apply powder, and his head is also very simple, so it is a little rude to enter the palace to see the queen mother, Bizhu hurriedly helped Minglan comb his hair again before leaving the Frost Garden.
I was going to go directly to the gate of Bofu, but halfway through, the old lady sent a maid to pass her on.
Minglan hurried to Changsong Temple again.
For the summons of the Queen Mother, the old lady was more worried than Minglan, she advised, "The Queen Mother has been in a bad mood recently, the second young master of the Wei State Mansion was buried yesterday, I heard that the Queen Mother fainted, and it is not a good thing to announce your entry into the palace today, nine times out of ten, you deal with it carefully, and you must not lose your manners." ”
Originally, Minglan was panicked, and the old lady still said this, which made her even more uneasy.
But if you want to say how scared, it's not, after all, it's not the first time to see the Queen Mother, besides, she is also the future princess of the princess, if she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, even if the Queen Mother is angry, she doesn't dare to take her life.
As long as your life is safe, everything else is trivial.
The old lady said a few words in her ear, and Minglan took Bizhu out of the house.
In front of the Bofu, a luxury carriage was parked there, and the father-in-law who was driving the car was a little impatient, "Why are you so abrasive? ”
Manager Li stood aside, and he still held a purse in his hand, bulging, and it contained silver.
When Minglan saw it, his mood became a little heavier.
The little father-in-law didn't even dare to accept the silver, how afraid was he that he would get involved with the Bofu and get into trouble?
Stabilizing their minds, Minglan and Bizhu got into the carriage, but before they could sit down, the little father-in-law flicked the whip, and Bizhu fell on Minglan, Minglan hit her back, and she gasped in pain.
"Girl, are you alright?" asked Bizhu.
Minglan shook his head, and Bizhu lifted the curtain and glared at her father-in-law who was rushing, "Slow down! I bumped into my girl, and I blamed Wang Shizi, can you take care of it?!"
The little father-in-law glanced at Bizhu, "The Queen Mother has no grandchildren, she is in a bad mood, she has no patience to wait for others, one step slow, my little life is gone, where can I wait until the prince blames me?"
The snapping of his horsewhip didn't care who was sitting behind him.
Bizhu had no choice but to get angry and hold on to the carriage firmly.
When the carriage stopped, her grip on it stiffened.
After getting out of the carriage, Minglan only felt that the world was spinning, and he was nauseated, and he almost didn't throw up.
Bizhu helped her to walk to the Yongning Palace where the Queen Mother lived.
knew that it was not a good thing to go to see the Queen Mother, but he still had to go, that feeling of powerlessness, Minglan was very disliked.
In the previous life, when I came to Yongning Palace, I could always see those palace maids and eunuchs with smiles on their faces, but now they are all like mourners, and they can't find a smile at all.
In the main hall, it was even more silent, and the needles could be heard.
The Queen Mother wore a phoenix robe and sat on the phoenix chair, she looked particularly haggard in the past, and she was a little older than six years later in her previous life.
The Queen Mother is the wife of the first emperor, and before the current emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Hui, entered the palace, she favored the harem, and the honor was unmatched.
She gave birth to two sons and a daughter to the first emperor.
The eldest son was made the crown prince, and the second son was the seventh prince of the first emperor.
In the same year that the Seventh Prince was killed, the crown prince died suddenly, and no one knows the cause of the death of the first prince.
The prince married the princess before his death, a month before the prince's violent death, the princess was pregnant, and was demoted to a side concubine in less than half a month.
After the death of the prince, the fetus in the womb of the prince's side concubine became a posthumous child, and the queen mother expected it in every way, but unfortunately it was a daughter.
Within a year, the Queen Mother died two sons one after another, that kind of blow is not something ordinary people can bear, if it weren't for the eldest princess by her side, it is estimated that she would not be able to bear it.
The second young master, the only son born to the eldest princess, was born like the seventh prince of the queen mother, if it weren't for the eldest princess who was reluctant to separate her flesh and blood, the queen mother would have to be raised in the palace.
Now that her most beloved grandson has died, how can the Queen Mother not grieve.
But in such a sad mood, what to say to her, Minglan couldn't guess.
She stepped forward, quietly, not daring to disturb the Queen Mother.
No one in the palace maids dared to speak, only the Queen Mother's most trusted confidant, Mama Xu, whispered, "Queen Mother, Second Miss Gu is here." ”
The Queen Mother raised her head suddenly, the golden phoenix jewel on her bun trembled, and at that moment, the cold glow that burst out from the bottom of her eyes was enough to destroy the world in Minglan's opinion.
If it weren't for the fact that she had seen the Queen Mother get angry in her previous life, Minglan would really be frightened, she told herself that there was nothing to be afraid of, and the Queen Mother's heart was not killed by her, even if the Queen Mother was angry again, she would not be able to go beyond the law of the country.
She stepped forward and saluted the Queen Mother.
"The courtiers have seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an. ”
The crisp sound rippled through the golden hall.
"Wanfu Jin'an?" the Queen Mother sneered, and the closest relatives around her left her one by one, no matter how long she lived, she was just a walking corpse.
That laughter really makes the scalp tingle.
Minglan knelt on the ground, not moving.
The Queen Mother didn't tell her to get up.
The hall quickly returned to the same quiet as before she came.
After kneeling for half a cup of tea, the Queen Mother said, "Get up." ”
Minglan got up at this time, looked at the Queen Mother, and asked, "...... did the Queen Mother summon her courtiers into the palace?"
The Queen Mother's face was slightly pale, but her eyes were as sharp as ever, and she was not angry and arrogant, "Jing Ningbo Mansion found out who stole the antidote in the cold jade bottle of Senior Young Master Gu?"
Brought her into the palace just to ask about this?
Isn't this under the control of the Ministry of Punishment?
If you ask the book of the criminal department, you will know if there is a result.
Minglan shook his head, "Grandfather and the Criminal Department have been investigating for several days, but nothing has been found. ”
The Queen Mother knew that there was no result, and Minglan couldn't give her a satisfactory answer, she asked, "Where did you get the antidote to all poisons in the hands of Wang Shizi?"
Minglan was speechless.
The Queen Mother wanted to know where the antidote from Wang Shizi came from, shouldn't she pass it on to Wang Shizi to interrogate, but now she asked her...... Minglan mourned for himself as a big soft persimmon.
"The courtiers don't know," Minglan shook his head.
She wants to say that the antidote is her, she is the antidote, and the Queen Mother will definitely beat her to death with a stick.
"I really don't know?" Mama Xu said solemnly, "It is a capital crime to deceive the Queen Mother!"
