While the Cui family was arguing over a roster, inside the palace, there were also hidden turbulence under the apparent calm.

It was just a faint light, and the morning light had just broken through the darkness of the night and pierced the earth.

A woman dressed as a medical woman held a medicine pot in her hand, lowered her head, and walked from outside Jing'an Palace from a distance, her steps were unhurried, not hurried, until she walked in front of Jing'an Palace.

The guard guarding outside Jing'an Palace stretched out his hand to stop her and asked, "What are you doing?"

The doctor girl lowered her head hoarsely and replied, "I am a doctor from the Tai Hospital, and I am here to deliver medicine to the Queen Mother." ”

The guard asked with some suspicion, "Why is it so early?"

The doctor replied: "According to the instructions of Imperial Physician Lu, I will give the Empress Dowager medicine every four hours, exactly four hours after the Empress Dowager's last medication." After speaking, he handed over the warrant of the hospital.

The guard took the warrant and looked at it, and it was genuine. The guards were guarding here, and naturally they were instructed that the Queen Mother had a headache, and the hospital would often send medicine to her. After all, although the emperor put the Queen Mother under house arrest, he may not want the Queen Mother to have an accident. At this time, if something happens to the queen mother, it will be the emperor's unfilial piety.

The guard glanced at the doctor again, but couldn't see anything wrong, so he gave her back the warrant, opened the door and waved his hand to let the doctor in.

The healed woman bowed her knees and thanked the guards before heading out into the hall.

The door closed again as soon as she entered, and the healer listened carefully to the movement outside with her ears pricked up, and then continued to walk inside the dormitory.

Jing'an Palace, which was not lively in the past, seemed quieter at this time, but the huge palace was lifeless, and only the benzoin burning in the hall reminded that there was still a breath of people living here.

Although Yu Wenhong put the queen mother under house arrest and changed the palace people of Jing'an Palace, he did not deduct the use of Jing'an Palace. It's just that it's still early in the morning, and after the Empress Dowager Cui lost her temper yesterday and sent all the palace people away, there were no palace people in the dormitory at this time.

Empress Dowager Cui didn't sleep all night yesterday, and at this time she was still sitting on the bed with heavy eyes, only a quilt on her body. When the doctor girl came in, she didn't react at all.

The medicine girl walked in, put the tray in her hand on the table, took the bowl and poured out the medicine in the medicine pot, then walked to the bed with the bowl, knelt on the ground, raised the bowl above her head and lowered her head, and said: "The slave maid asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, the Queen Mother, you should drink the medicine." ”

Empress Dowager Cui said in a cold voice: "Take the medicine away, don't drink it." You go and tell Yu Wenhong that if he has this ability, he will imprison the mourning family. ”

The expression of the doctor on the ground did not change, but her voice changed, and she said: "Queen Mother, you should drink a little, the medicine is bitter, but it can cure the disease." ”

Empress Dowager Cui felt that something was wrong when she heard her voice, her brows furrowed, her eyes shot over, and then she saw the appearance of the medical woman who slowly raised her head, and said with a slight surprise: "It's you?"

The medicine girl smiled and said, "It's a concubine, don't come to the queen mother." "This woman's appearance is Meng Xuanyu.

Empress Dowager Cui snorted coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Meng Xuanyu stood up from the ground, put the medicine back on the table next to her, then moved a stool and put it on the edge of the bed and sat on the stool, and then said, "The concubine is here to help the Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Cui said: "You are here to help the mourning family? It's really a big joke, why do you come to help the mourning family, and why do the mourning family believe that you will help the mourning family." ”

Meng Xuanyu said: "Just because the concubines have the same purpose as the queen mother, they don't want the emperor and the concubine to be good." Just because the Queen Mother is in prison, only the concubines can help the Queen Mother, and only the concubines are willing to help the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "Don't forget, you are Yuwenhong's woman, why do the mourning family believe that you will betray Yuwenhong and help the mourning family." ”

Meng Xuanyu said: "Because a woman who hates because of love is the most terrible, the Queen Mother doesn't also believe this, so she will want to use Meng Yuyu to deal with the emperor in the past." It's just that the Queen Mother believed in the wrong person, so she fell to this point. ”

Empress Dowager Cui snorted: "It is precisely because the mourning family once believed in the wrong Meng Yuyu, so now they will never believe the wrong second time." She really couldn't see what benefits Meng Xuanyu could get from helping her.

Meng Xuanyu said: "The Empress Dowager has no choice, you either believe in the concubines, or you can only stay in this Jing'an Palace and wait to hear the news that the emperor killed the King of Qi." ”

Empress Dowager Cui's body suddenly tightened, her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes stared at her red.

Meng Xuanyu laughed, there was hideousness and ridicule in that smile, as well as self-pity and pathetic, and said: "The concubine thinks that the queen mother should believe in the concubine, because the concubine's hatred for the emperor and Meng Yuyu is no less than yours." ”

Empress Dowager Cui looked at her as if she was looking at someone who had never seen clearly.

Meng Xuanyu continued to smile: "The concubine has been in the palace for nearly four years, and she entered the palace with her love for the emperor, and endured this snub in the harem with the feeling that the emperor also loves me, but in the end, I found out that I was just a tool in the hands of the emperor from beginning to end, a tool that he used to protect Meng Yuyu." You said that the life of the concubine is not sad, and the concubine should not hate the person who caused the concubine's life to be so sad. ”

Some people are like this, in the past, when she thought that Yuwenhong was using Meng Yuyu as her shield, she used it with triumph and ridicule and contempt for Meng Yuyu in her heart. But one day when she found out that things were the exact opposite, and she was the shield, she felt hatred in her heart.

Meng Xuanyu continued: "Whoever makes the concubine so miserable, the concubine must also make them equally miserable. If the concubines live in hell, they cannot live in heaven. ”

Empress Dowager Cui continued to look at her for a while, and suddenly laughed, but she half believed her words, not for anything else, just because she believed that she was more vicious and ruthless than Meng Yuyu. Empress Dowager Cui said: "Interesting, really interesting." ”

Meng Xuanyu said again: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the concubine is not Meng Xuanyu, and she won't lie to you." ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "I'm afraid that you didn't come today to show your loyalty to the mourning family and express that you want to form an alliance, right? ”

Meng Xuanyu laughed and said, "It's really not hard to talk to someone as smart as the Queen Mother. Then he said: "The concubine will help the Queen Mother and be a bridge between King Cui Jiaqi and the Queen Mother, but the premise is that the concubine needs the help of the Queen Mother first." Although the Empress Dowager's manpower in the palace has been cut off a lot by the emperor, the concubines know that the Empress Dowager must still have some hidden manpower in the palace. ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "Since you can get a warrant to trick the guards outside the door into entering this Jing'an Palace, it seems that you are also a smart person." But you want the mourners to hand over the last of these hands to you, which is not trivial. ”

Meng Xuanyu curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "If you don't hand it over to the concubines, who else can you hand it over? Cui Chongyi? The Queen Mother herself knows in her heart that she can't be trusted......
