Chapter 40: Whose mind is drifting in the wind?

The Queen Mother listened to the whimper of the wind pouring into the window, knelt in the Buddhist hall, and reverently knocked on the wooden fish and chanted the scriptures, as if only this sound of the wooden fish could suppress the demon wind outside the window.

The sun was no longer visible, and the dark clouds were pressing in the sky, as if night was about to fall. The lighting of the Buddha hall was not good, so Guo Gonggong lit the candle by the side of the Buddha shrine, but this candle was flickering and dimming by the air current, reflecting the face of the Queen Mother, and it was uncertain.

Suddenly, the rumbling sound of collapse startled the Queen Mother, and the sound of the wooden fish also stopped.

Guo Gonggong hurriedly sent someone out to ask.

It turned out that the back cover of the courtyard where Qin Mei used to live was crushed by a broken branch.

How could a tree branch that could collapse a house suddenly break?

The little eunuch who replied didn't say it too clearly, and said that he would go and see it. So he ran to find out the situation.

Guo Gonggong thought about it for a while, and replied to the Queen Mother: "The old tree in the backyard was eaten by insects, and when the wind blew, it broke off, pressing the hood in the backyard. ”

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard the word backyard.

"Has the queen arrived?" After a while, the Queen Mother put the rosary in her hand back on her wrist and asked in a low voice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The thatched hut on the roof was swept by the strong wind, and the sand and stones were rolled up, and the things held in the hands of the palace people behind Queen Gu were rolled.

Two things, one red and one white, were surrounded by a strong wind, and they were about to fly into the sky, and the red things were heavier, so they were discovered by the palace people in time and pressed down.

Can be white...... It was extremely light, and it was blown into the sky by the wind all of a sudden, flying and fluttering in the air, like the water sleeves commonly used by dancers.

A beat, a hook, a drag, a lot.

"Otherwise, let's go back first, and wait for this gust of wind to pass before leaving." Looking at the empty plates in the hands of the palace people, and looking at Bai Lian who was still dancing in the sky, his frightened face turned white, and he trembled and gave advice to Queen Gu.

Queen Gu was also frightened and took a step back, her hair stood on end, and she subconsciously touched the bracelet given by the Queen Mother in her hand.

"Let's go...... Let's go! After speaking, Queen Gu lowered her head and turned her head without looking back.

Murong Linshuang raised her head and looked at the thing dancing wildly in the air, so frightened that she couldn't take a step, as if this thing was about to fly to her shoulder and wrap around her neck...... No, this thing seems to have wrapped around her neck, and then pulled to both sides, she suddenly couldn't breathe, her eyes widened, she wanted to escape, fled to a place that Bai Lian couldn't see, but for some reason, she couldn't move a single step.

The palace people behind Queen Gu hurriedly turned around and trotted behind Queen Gu.

After running for a while, a bold palace person suddenly looked back, only to find that Concubine Rong Niangniang was still standing there in a daze, she thought about it, looked at the people on the side who were hurriedly walking back, gritted her teeth, and ran back to drag Murong Linshuang away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wind was shut out the window by Qin Mei, and she sat on the edge of the bed alone, quietly looking at the hairpin rubbing in her hand.

Time was running out for her.

I don't know where Chen Xiaotian is now? Can you make it in time? If she can't catch up and disappears out of thin air when she leaves the palace, how many people's jaws will drop?

But...... She hopes that Chen Xiaotian can rush back and keep her, after all, for so many years, she has been looking forward to having someone by her side, who can always spoil her and love her.

But she thought about it again, there are so many people in the back/palace waiting for him to pamper and love, what can she be?

The dowry and the queen's arrival at the palace are known to Qin Mei. Although the small courtyard is in a corner of the palace, it is difficult not to let people know about such a big battle.

Now that they're here...... Why hasn't there been any movement yet?

She looked at the window and thought about the wind outside, yes, how did such a strong wind come from?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Queen Gu and Murong Linshuang, who returned to the house, sat quietly as if they were cicadas.

After drinking two cups of hot tea in a row, Queen Gu came to her senses.

But the hands and feet were still cold.

"You'll deliver it later." Empress Gu didn't look up and ordered.

In addition to the girl who was waiting in the house, there was only Murong Linshuang as the master. This is to say, for Murong Linshuang.

Murong Linshuang still didn't come to her senses in the shock just now.

She reached out and touched her neck to make sure she didn't have anything wrapped around her neck before calming down a little.

The heart that had just been put down was brought to her throat by Queen Gu's words.

She raised her head and looked at Queen Gu, who was cowering at the table, and looked down on her heart.

I was afraid to go, so I let her go to death? Where does the saying come from?

I won't be stupid and run to suffer.

But being pressed by power and refuting Queen Gu's words doesn't seem to be wise. After all, I'm about to leave, and I want to be peaceful...... What to do? How can I save myself from going?

When she was pregnant, she lived in the palace for a long time, and she almost knew the topography and architecture of the palace...... Terrain...... Building...... Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and thought of a place, if she arranged it, she really didn't need to go.

Murong Linshuang's brain was working rapidly.

"The concubine remembers that there is a side hall near here, which is for His Majesty's deliberations?" Murong Linshuang made up her mind and asked.

There is indeed such a place.

The side hall is near here, and it was originally repaired for His Majesty to meet ministers in the palace and deal with official business.

But His Majesty King Qi seems to be more accustomed to using the study, so he has never used the side hall much.

"Side hall?" Empress Gu didn't understand what she meant for a while, and besides, she didn't know that there was this place at all.

"Well, the side hall!" Murong Linshuang had already made up her mind, nodded and said, "We might as well put the things in the side hall and call her!" ”

"How good is this, the side hall is close, the things are easy to take, and then send someone to call her over, and we will wait for her in the side hall."

"Besides, it's better to look at her if you're closer to us."

Murong Linshuang felt more and more that her idea was good, and her speed of speech became faster and faster. He told the plan in one breath.

Queen Gu carefully stood up to Murong Linshuang's suggestion, and felt that this method was good, if she was allowed to go directly to Qinmei, the momentum would be great, but she always felt uneasy, who knew what preparations the fox demon had made. It's better to call her over, and look at her under your nose.

She thought as she turned the beads on her wrist. It's as if there are gods living in the beads that can protect her.

"Good! It's so decided, come on, dress up the palace! Put the things in the side hall, and then invite the eldest princess over! ”

Queen Gu gave a series of instructions, took the little maid's hand, walked to the dressing table in the back room, and groomed herself.

I thought that the rain would fall after the gale, but the wind blew away the clouds and disappeared.

The wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the moon poked its head out.

Chen Xiaotian immediately set off and rushed to the palace.

Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't stay at the post station for too long.

It's okay, it's okay, it's still in a hurry.
