There are several small palaces in the Youlian Palace, and the Queen Mother only lives in one of them, and named it the Youlian Palace.

The Lotus Hall faces north, and there is no sunlight all year round, so this piece looks very gloomy and terrifying.

Xia Qing followed behind Concubine Li, cautiously, step by step.

There was a mama in front of her who led the way, without any expression, and since the two of them came in just now, this mama had not smiled, except for asking them who they were at the door, and then she had not spoken.

However, Concubine Li doesn't seem to be surprised by this grandmother's approach.

"This mama is notoriously serious. ”

Concubine Li bit her ears with Xia Qing, "But at present, I don't know if she's good or bad, I can't find out the truth, this grandma has a lot of strange things, but I can't find out thoroughly......"

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother is chanting now, the two of you will wait at the door for a while, and I will go in and report it. ”

"Okay. ”

The cold-faced grandmother nodded to the two of them and went in.

"Wow, it's so dangerous, she's so serious, I'm about to suffocate just now, I almost want to ask her if she has an opinion about us......"

"You're such a pistachio, and you're funny. ”

Concubine Li covered her mouth and smiled, she hadn't laughed from the bottom of her heart all these years, this harem was too fake, too much hypocrisy, too much deception, and she didn't give her a chance to breathe at all. Even the simplest smile she couldn't show it easily.

"I'm just saying what I think..... it's very strange, you ladies and palace people in the deep palace don't like to tell the truth, they like to hide, they like to hold back. I was in the dance room, and it almost suffocated me at that time......"

Xia Qing remembered that when she was in the Drunken Immortal Building, how could there be so many rules and so many things.

It's enough to dance your own dance in peace.

Thinking about it like this, she suddenly missed the time when she was in the Drunken Immortal Building, and she seemed to have not been back there for a long, long time again......

"Two, the Queen Mother's grandmother and girl are invited. ”

As soon as the cold-faced grandmother opened the door, she waved her hand at the two, "But I hope Niangniang won't be angry, the slave needs to check if you have anything on you that you shouldn't bring......."

"No problem, you check. ”

Concubine Li opened her hand, looking like she could check it as you wanted.

"It's rude. ”

Mama touched left and right on Concubine Li's body, and made sure that every corner of her body had not been checked, and then she looked at Xia Qing silently,

"Is she going in?"

"Of course she's going to go in, she's from my palace, can't it be that she is standing outside and blowing the cold wind?"

"Then she's going to check it too. ”

The cold-faced grandmother walked to Xia Qing's side, Xia Qing couldn't help but tremble, this person was so cold, this face was so cold that she wanted to tremble, and I don't know how the Queen Mother endured this feeling.

"Open your hands. ”

"Oh......"

Xia Qing honestly opened her hand and stuck out her tongue at the cold-faced grandmother, "Hurry up, my mother has been waiting for a long time, she is pregnant, it's really not good to freeze outside......"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense, little girl?"

The cold-faced grandmother touched whether there were any weapons on her body, as she had just done when she checked Concubine Li, and after making sure that there were none, she waved her hand, "Concubine Li, you can take her in." ”

"Trouble mama. ”

Although I don't like this grandma, I still have to be polite. After all, this grandmother has more seniority than the two of them combined.

"Xia Qing, let's go in. ”

"Yes, sis. ”

Xia Qing hurriedly trotted to Concubine Li's side, looking very dog-legged.

The two walked to the door one after the other, Xia Qing turned her head to look at Concubine Li, who nodded lightly at her.

"Disturb the Queen Mother......"

After a "squeak", the door was opened.

The door seems to be some years old, and you can feel a puff of dust when you open it.

"Queen Mother, the concubine has come to see you. ”

Concubine Li cleared her throat and took Xia Qing's hand and walked into the dimly lit room.

In the room, there were no candles, and it was clear that it was a big sun outside, but when I entered the room, it seemed to be cut off from the sunlight and became completely dark.

If you stay here, your heart will feel very depressed.

Xia Qing felt a little out of breath.

"Why are you here. ”

In the corner, a voice rang out.

There is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Queen Mother, dressed in plain clothes, is kneeling there, silently turning the Buddha beads in her hand, and reciting the scriptures softly in her mouth.

"Come and see you. ”

"If Concubine De said such a thing, I would still believe it, but if it was Concubine Li, a child like you, I wouldn't be willing to believe it. ”

The Queen Mother stood up, the rosary in her hand was still turning,

"If you have nothing to do, you kid, you don't like to come to my old man's place very much, bad luck. What's more, you're pregnant again now, so it's even more inappropriate to come to me......"

"Cheng Qing, do you still want you to live here alone?"

"As you can see, it's still here, praying for our country, for the people, for the royal family. ”

The Queen Mother said, raised her head, compared to her previous appearance in the main hall, she looked a lot haggard, there was no such amazing feeling, so she was like an elderly Queen Mother.

"Behind you, this is ...... You're from Xingu?"

"Yes, the palace people newly sent to me by the emperor, how is it, does it look very symbolic?"

"Yes, this look, even in this dark place, I am a little amazing......"

Xia Qing secretly said that it was not good.

She suddenly remembered that at that time in the main hall, she had a relationship with the Queen Mother, although she didn't know how good her memory was, but at that time, her appearance, the Queen Mother must have seen it.

"She's not the point. Today's concubines are here to ask about the Queen Mother. ”

"Oh, ask me, I just went out during the rebellion, and was thrown back here right away, what do you think you can ask me?"

"My dad died. ”

"Your father...... What do you say?"

The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned pale.

"My father, not long ago, committed suicide by taking poison. ”

"Impossible..... impossible..... where did he get the poison? Who gave him the poison......

The rosary in the queen mother's hand fell heavily to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The rosary is torn apart.

"He, why did he do that?"

"My father's thoughts, you must know much better than I am as a daughter. Over the years, although my mother has always turned a blind eye, our whole family knows about the things between you......"

"You came to me today to tell me about your father's death. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes widened, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions.

"Yes, I want to tell you that you finally succeeded in killing him. ”

Concubine Li took out a piece of letter paper from her cuff,

"I didn't want to give this thing to you, but after thinking about it, my father left it to you, and I am not qualified to hide it......"
