Ma Xiuying sighed with a complicated expression, sat by the window and was stunned, and the person who deliberately didn't think about it was hooked out by Li Qi'er in a few words. There was even a trace of jealousy in the depths of her heart, jealous that Li Qi'er dared to boldly show her concern and worry for Dao Yan, but she never dared to say it, dare not think deeply, and dare not show it. This is also the reason why she only lightly warned Li Qi'er to be cautious in her words and deeds, but did not severely criticize her.

There is one point that Ma Xiuying must admit that what Li Qier said makes sense. Guo Hui is looking for her flaws all the time, and even she was almost bitten by Guo Huipan when she helped Tang and pleaded, and Dao Yan and her old affairs Guo Hui are also clear, so I am afraid that this woman will seize this matter and make a fuss. She is the queen, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally will not listen to rumors and deal with her, but Dao Yan is just an insignificant little person to Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he kills Zhu Yuanzhang by mistake, he will not feel half guilty.

Alas, this matter has to be guarded against!

Ma Xiuying thought sadly for a while.

Seeing this, Xun Ying comforted: "Concubine Hui didn't go out of the palace to give porridge because she was pregnant, so she didn't see Master Daoyan, and the monk will leave the palace after praying, so the two shouldn't have intersected, right?"

Ma Xiuying sighed sullenly, "I hope so." ”

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you come.

Not long after Li Qi'er left, a palace man appeared at the door, and Xun Ying went out to ask questions and came in with a wrinkled face and said, "Master, that Guo Xia from Jingyang Palace asks to see you." ”

"What's the matter with Concubine Hui?" Ma Xiuying didn't have a good face, she said that she had something to find Cheng Mu Guifei, and one or two of them ran to her Kunning Palace, whether she took Cheng Mu Guifei seriously or wanted to annoy her. Complaining is complaining, thinking that Guo Hui is pregnant with the imperial heir, Ma Xiuying can't be careless, so she still summoned the other party.

Xun Ying suddenly remembered that Guo Hui had also sent Guo Xia as a representative when she was cooking porridge, and hurriedly asked, "Has this Guo Xia seen Master Dao Yan before?" Could it be that she said something to Concubine Hui. ”

Ma Xiuying pondered: "She used to be Concubine Hui's personal maid, I don't know if she has seen Dao Yan, but there are so many people when the porridge is cooking, I guess she shouldn't recognize Dao Yan." Forget it, instead of you and I guessing here, let's meet her and see what she has to say. ”

Guo Xia's big stab pierced into Kunning Palace, and there was no other palace person who looked cautious, until she saw Ma Xiuying, she knelt down and saluted, and said: "Concubine Hui heard that there are monks in the palace to pray for the royal blessing, so she sent a slave maid to ask, can you invite the masters to Jingyang Palace to pray for the fetus in her womb, so as to ensure that the future heir can be born safely and smoothly." ”

Xun Ying said sarcastically: "It's not that you have done too much, otherwise why should Concubine Hui worry about the safety of the imperial heir?"

Guo Xia sneered, "The slave doesn't know what Sister Ying is talking about, shouldn't Concubine Hui pray for the safe birth of the emperor's heir?"

"Shut up!" Ma Xiuying said impatiently: "Concubine Hui's request is not inappropriate, but Concubine Hui's body needs to be rested, and it is not appropriate to make noise, besides, the harem concubines are not allowed to have private contact with outsiders, you go back and tell Concubine Hui, the palace will arrange for monks to pray for her and the child, and she can also designate a master to recite the scriptures, so Jingyang Palace will no longer have to set up a Dharma field." ”

Li Qi'er's words made Ma Xiuying keep an eye on her, Guo Hui suddenly wanted the monk to pray for blessings, could it be really for Daoyan, no matter what Guo Hui was, the two really should not meet, otherwise Guo Hui's temperament would not cause trouble.

Xun Ying and Ma Xiuying thought of one thing, and after Guo Xia left, they couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, Concubine Hui didn't leave the palace to give porridge, otherwise she would definitely chew her tongue when she saw Master Daoyan." ”

Ma Xiuying said angrily: "Master Daoyan is well-named, and this palace is also acting above board, who dares to say anything!"

The sudden angry shout startled Xun Ying, and she immediately knelt down, "The slave has a lot of mouths, and the crime deserves death!"

Ma Xiuying knew that she was a little angry, and said sullenly: "You go out to help Bai Ling and them do things, and I am alone." ”

Sunshadow tiptoed back, just out for a while and then turned around.

"What's the matter?" Ma Xiuying wondered if it was her excessive love for Xunying that made this girl a little lawless.

"Yes, it was the guard Zhang who came back to tell the little boy about it, saying that there was something important to present to the master. Xun Ying stammered, she didn't want to appear again and again when Ma Xiuying was angry, but everyone in the palace was busy, and she was idle alone, Zhang Guard had a cautious expression on her face, she didn't dare to delay what Ma Xiuying ordered, so she had to come in and tell her.

"Xuan. Ma Xiuying's anger was replaced by curiosity, she sent guards to follow the little boy just to verify whether what the little boy said was true, if there was really a difficulty, she would naturally help, why did Zhang Guard bring back more important news?

The subordinates followed the little boy all the way to the old temple of Chenghuang in the south of the city, where there were originally many beggars and homeless people. The subordinate stood outside the window and saw only a middle-aged woman lying in the corner, and the little boy brought the porridge in the food box to the woman. Guarding Zhang paused when he said this, "The subordinates were about to leave, but who knew that the woman actually knocked over the porridge and reprimanded the little boy." ”

Xun Ying was indignant, "How can that woman be so ignorant, the little boy took a risk to ask for a bowl of porridge, and he was reluctant to eat it and served it to her, and she wasted it." ”

Guard Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Aunt Ying, please let her subordinates finish speaking." ”

Xun Ying choked, closed her mouth and listened to Ma Xiuying.

When the woman saw the delicate food box in the boy's hand, she asked where she had gotten such a valuable item.

The boy replied that it was the queen's reward, and brought out the porridge for the woman to eat while it was hot.

The woman may have been sick for a long time, and she had to gasp when she spoke, but after listening to the little boy's words, she actually pushed away the porridge bowl regardless of her condition, and roared in a hissed voice: "Why don't you ask the queen mother to help you find your father, what's the use of bringing a bowl of porridge back?"

The little boy cried: "At that time, there were many guards around the queen's mother, and the child was panicked and did not dare to say more, and was worried that his mother was seriously ill and had not eaten for many days, and his mind was full of only thinking about letting his mother eat something to take care of his body. ”

The woman cried and said: "You child, do you know how difficult it is to miss this time, how difficult it is to see the queen mother again in the future, and the mother will not be able to survive for long, the mother is worried that you will not be able to find your father in this life, and when the mother is gone, what can you do?"

The little boy cried bitterly: "Mother, you will be fine, the queen said that you will definitely get better." ”

The woman was helpless and sad, "The queen is a good person, if she knew about our mother's affairs, she would definitely help us, but it's a pity that you stupid child doesn't know how to cherish the opportunity." Alas, my mother won't say much, no matter how long my mother can accompany you, in short, you have to remember that your father must not be dead, he must still be alive, if you have the opportunity to meet the queen's holy face in the future, you must ask the queen to help you, cough cough ......"

When Guard Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but show up and asked, "You two can ask the government for help if you have something, why do you have to help the queen?"
