Fugui saw from a distance that the chief manager of Zhou and his master Qiu Yan and his party quickly entered the palace gate, and behind them, surrounded by several little eunuchs, it was Qiu Gui, the palace maid in charge of Fengyi Palace.

Fugui immediately had a number in his heart, and hurriedly sang to the palace, "Queen Mother, Chief Manager Zhou asks to see you." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Li, who was paralyzed by hearing that she was about to be beaten into the cold palace, and returned to sit on the couch, and then said in a deep voice: "Call him in!" ”

Before leaving, he repeatedly told Zhou Yu to take care of Yufu Palace, but he didn't expect something to happen, and the Queen Mother was angry. Quietly looking at the Queen Mother's face, Ning Yuan silently pinched a cold sweat in her heart for Manager Zhou.

After a while, I saw Zhou Yu enter the door, first a big gift, Zhou Yu knelt down and was extraordinarily solemn and pious, he said: "The slave meets the Queen Mother." ”

"That's what you do?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Zhou Yu's body trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed again, "The slave has failed the Queen Mother's entrustment, and the slave deserves death!" But please let the Queen Mother calm her anger a little first, the slave still has something to report, and the slave dares to ask the Queen Mother to listen to it and then cure the slave's sin. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "Say." ”

"Yes." Finally got permission, Zhou Yu hurriedly went to Lingyue Palace to investigate but met Qiu Gui to report it, of course, in order to seek an opportunity to make up for his mistakes, Zhou Da took most of the credit on his own head, and turned the matter into Qiu Gui when he took people to Lingyue Palace to investigate, he met the sneaky Qiu Gui, and under his investigation, he finally found the medicine residue on Qiu Gui's body.

Qiu Yan, who was waiting outside the door, naturally listened to this rather merit-grabbing rhetoric, in this case, he didn't care about the credit, but it was better for Zhou Yu to repay like this, so that he could avoid his sudden "coincidence" and shift the focus to Qiu Gui.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhou Yu's words, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be condensed, and everyone had different expressions.

Who Qiu Gui is, anyone knows it very well, although the subordinates did not dare to set their eyes on the queen, but the queen mother had already looked at it coldly, and after listening to Zhou Yu's words, Xu Jinhe's face was already as white as paper, and at this moment it was really sick.

After hearing the horror of Qiu Gui being arrested, Xu Jinhe immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Qiu Gui? How did this palace say that she didn't see her tonight, she was so dignified, why did she go to Lingyue Palace......"

Perhaps because she didn't want to hear anything from her, the Queen Mother interrupted her and said, "Bring someone up!" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu responded, beckoned to the door, and immediately someone from the palace brought Qiu Gui up.

When he saw the loyal servant with a dead face being brought up, Xu Jinhe finally felt panicked, and when Zhou Yu presented the evidence seized from her - the bag of medicine residue, Xu Jinhe's calmness was almost ruined.

"Qiu Gui, you are so dignified that you are not serving in Fengyi Palace, what are you going to Lingyue Palace for? And take these inexplicable things? It's only so bad that the master can find you! Seeing that Qiu Gui was arrested, in order to get the master out as much as possible, another loyal servant Ding Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to question.

But seeing that the Queen Mother didn't plan to buy it at all, she ordered in a cold voice: "Where is Ji Yuan?" Tell him to come in and see what it's all about. ”

Someone immediately went to pass the word, it didn't take much effort, Ji Yuan, who was chasing the queen mother's carriage back to the palace, had already hurried over, and the queen mother sent someone to pass Ji Yuan before leaving for the palace from Jingtian Temple, originally planning to let him take a look at Chu Xue's mother and son, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

There is no need to let the Queen Mother order, Ji Yuan immediately acted after entering the door, the old doctor spread out the medicine residue in front of everyone, and after checking them one by one, he finally came to a conclusion. I saw that his expression was extremely solemn, and he bowed down to the Queen Mother and replied: "Queen Mother, although this medicine is used for abortion, it is extremely violent, according to the physique of ordinary women, not only will she be infertile for life, but she will also worry about her life." ”

The Queen Mother was shocked and asked, "Will there be such a strict zhòng?" ”

Ji Yuan bowed his head solemnly, "The minister doesn't dare to say anything." ”

Of course, Ji Yuan didn't say anything, for Xu Jinhe, it was so rare to seize an opportunity to attack Chu Xue, how could she let her go? So she asked Zhang Yutian to prescribe a medicine with no way back, not only to kill the child in Chu Xue's womb, but also to kill Chu Xue.

Anyway, someone is behind the blame, and she has no reason to show mercy!

The Queen Mother was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly instructed Ji Yuan, "Go quickly, go in and see Concubine Yi, don't let her miss anything again!" ”

Ji Yuan immediately responded and went to Chu Xue.

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Concubine Li on the side finally sobered up at this time, the queen obviously said that she just wanted Chu Xue's child first, but the medicine Qiu Gui gave her was so poisonous, it can be seen that the queen was lying to her, the queen wanted Chu Xue's life, but she wanted her to take action......

Thinking of this, Concubine Li was suddenly startled, and quickly knelt down to the Queen Mother, and begged: "Queen Mother, the concubine didn't know that this medicine was so poisonous, it was Qiu Gui, no, it was the queen's ......" Concubine Li raised her hand to Xu Jinhe, and said indignantly: "It was the queen who told the concubine that Concubine Yi was secretly in love with someone, and she said that she was sick in bed, so she asked the concubine to bring medicine to deal with it. Queen Mother, please be clear, the concubine, the concubine is wronged......"

Seeing that Concubine Li told the truth, Xu Jinhe hurriedly scolded angrily: "Concubine Li! Obviously, you want to harm Concubine Yi yourself, why do you want to be involved in this palace? Do you think that if you spew blood, the Queen Mother will believe you? ”

Concubine Li had never seen such a vicious and shameless person, and she said angrily: "You poisonous woman......"

"Shut up!"

The Queen Mother roared, the two women stopped talking, and the hall was suddenly silent.

The Queen Mother is very angry at the moment, in such a situation now, do you need to think about things again?

Human and physical evidence is in front of him, at least it is true that Concubine Li killed her little imperial grandson, and it is also true that Qiu Gui sent medicine to Concubine Li, the only thing that remains to be determined now is whether this is Xu Jinhe's idea.

But after more than 30 years of ups and downs in the palace, how could the Queen Mother not understand?

Qiu Gui is just a subordinate, what position does she take to poison Chu Xue?

Thinking that the daughter-in-law she had valued in the past turned out to be a poisonous woman, the Queen Mother was heartbroken, and she asked Qiu Gui, who was kneeling, angrily: "Why do you want to harm Concubine Yi?" Who is the mastermind? ”

Xu Jinhe's heart beat violently, staring at his loyal servant tightly.

Qiu Gui, who had not spoken a word since she was caught, finally spoke at this time, and she said calmly: "No one makes the slave and maid, it is the slave and maid who see that Yi Guifei is spoiled and spoiled, and actually dares to be disrespectful to the queen mother, so she has hatred, and wants to get rid of Yi Guifei to avenge the queen mother, all the sins are on the slave and maid, please don't wronged the queen mother." ”

After saying that, Qiu Gui kowtowed heavily to Xu Jinhe again, and said: "Please forgive the slave for being stupid, and taking it upon herself to harm Concubine Yi and the imperial heir, and also make the mother suspicious." The slave and maid did not dare to expect the mother to forgive, but only wanted to be able to make cattle and horses for the mother in the next life, so as to repay in this life. ”

Sure enough, I saw Qiu Gui suddenly stand up and crash into a wall, fortunately, the eunuchs next to her eyes were quick to stop her, otherwise the main hall of Yufu Palace would be splashed with blood.

Xu Jinhe and the people around him were shocked, although such a thing happened, Qiu Gui must have no way to live, but seeing that at that moment, the people who get along day and night are about to die in front of them, it is still unacceptable. Xu Jinhe saw that the loyal servant had come to this point in order to protect himself, and he clenched his palms tightly.

But now that self-preservation is important, she really can't speak anymore.

Because it is the Queen Mother who is in charge now.

Seeing Qiu Gui's actions, the Queen Mother said coldly: "Want to die? Then we have to wait until the emperor comes back! Drag Qiu Gui to the inner court prison room, you must be good for the mourning family, if this girl dies before the emperor returns to the palace, you don't have to be this manager anymore! ”

The last sentence was obviously said to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed down.

There was no need for Zhou Yu to look at it again, and someone immediately dragged Qiu Gui out.

Seeing that she had lost another loyal servant like this, Queen Xu's heart was torn apart, to be honest, she knew very well that Qiu Gui would be relieved if she could finish it by herself, but once she entered the torture room of the inner court prison, it would be worse than death!

After disposing of Qiu Gui, the Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Li again, and said to Zhou Yu: "Take Concubine Li to the cold palace, and don't allow her to have an accident before the emperor returns to the palace." ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu immediately took Concubine Li down in person.

I wanted to cry again, but when I heard the Queen Mother's words, Concubine Li felt a little relieved. The queen mother said that she was not allowed to have an accident before the emperor returned to the palace, which shows that the queen mother still cares about the emperor's liking for herself, maybe when the emperor comes back, she will still have a chance to restore the throne.

But what the Queen Mother scruples about is Song Chen's so-called liking for her, and what the Queen Mother scruples about is her status as a princess. It is a matter of her son's plan, no matter how much the queen mother hates this woman for harming her imperial grandson, she still does not dare to execute her rashly, after all, her son is coming back, so it is better to let him deal with it himself.

As soon as the two of them were dispatched, the palace was quiet for a while, and Ji Yuan had already finished the diagnosis for Chu Xue, and came over to talk back to the Queen Mother.

"How?" Seeing him come back, the Queen Mother hurriedly cared.

Ji Yuan said: "Please rest assured that the Queen Mother should be in good health, and this time the imperial doctor came in time, so except for the imperial heir, the mother body has not been damaged too much, and the imperial doctor Cheng has handled it properly, according to the minister, as long as Concubine Yi recuperates well, she can still continue to prolong the heirs for the emperor." ”

The Queen Mother was relieved.

She understands that her son attaches great importance to Chu Xue, and after experiencing these recent things, she can't guarantee that if Chu Xue can't have children in this life, her son will no longer have other children. For the sake of her son, she must not see Chu Xue damaged.

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "You have often run around Yufu Palace these days, although Cheng Zisong has good medical skills, but after all, he is young, and it will always be better to have you by his side to worry more." ”

"Yes."

Now the big things are over for the time being, as for Xu Jinhe......

The Queen Mother put her eyes on her coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are unwell, don't go out these days, rest in the palace!" The emperor is already on his way back to Beijing, this matter is not over, and when he returns, the mourning family will be handed over to him to deal with personally. ”

It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't want to move her, but she is a member of the Xu family, even if she wants to move, she still has to weigh it again, because the Xu family and his party occupy a lot of seats in the court, and rashly moving Xu Jinhe may cause unrest in the court, no matter what, this matter still has to wait for his son to make a decision.

There is another point, the crown prince is still her, without the support of the queen, the eldest grandson Song Chi is the crown prince...... This is the last thing the Queen Mother wants to see now.

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Xu Jinhe didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Everyone can hear that the Queen Mother's statement that she is recuperating is actually banning her feet. She is a dignified queen, but she was grounded!

But tonight is too dangerous, and what Concubine Li said with red mouth and white teeth is already too unfavorable to herself, and Qiu Gui was taken away by the inner court supervisor again...... She was really worried that Qiu Gui would not be able to hold on, and once she couldn't hold on, she really didn't know if this loyal maid would betray herself......

And the Queen Mother said that Song Chen was already on his way back to Beijing, from the north to the capital, if he hurried, it would take less than ten days at most, and she really didn't know what Song Chen would do with herself if she knew about it, because she had already vaguely felt that Song Chen no longer trusted herself so much.

No, you must take advantage of these days to think of a way.

Xu Jinhe made a gesture of low eyebrows, as if he had been greatly wronged, and saluted the Queen Mother, saying: "Qiu Gui made a big mistake this time, although it was her own decision, but it was also the daughter-in-law who had no way to discipline her on weekdays, and the daughter-in-law was willing to be punished, and I only hoped that the Queen Mother would put her body first and not be angry." ”

These words seemed to admit mistakes, but in fact, they were still trying their best to clear their suspicions, and the Yan Ling Ruyue in the inner hall gritted their teeth with hatred, but Chu Xue only closed her eyes heavily.

The Queen Mother has the position of the Queen Mother, but isn't Song Chen coming back, she never believes that he will give up.

No matter how strong the Xu family behind Xu Jinhe is, as long as it touches the king's bottom line, it will not be tolerated.

She believed in this man.

After the important matter was disposed of, it was late at night, and she was worried about disturbing Chu Xue's recuperation, so the Queen Mother planned to return to Funing Palace, and just after stepping out of the main hall, she heard crying from the palace on the side.

It's fun.

The imperial grandmother's heart was immediately grabbed, and she hurried to Le'er's house again.

Xu Jinhe, who was behind him, hesitated again and again, and finally followed.

It was about tonight that Yufu Palace was too noisy, and it was about to feel that the mother was hurt, Le'er, who had always slept peacefully, suddenly woke up from her dream, howling and crying, how to coax more than a dozen people from the nursing mother palace couldn't be coaxed, seeing that although it was a cold winter, the villain was already crying and sweating, and even her hair was dreadlocked, the Queen Mother was distressed, and she couldn't take care of the palace people who knelt down for herself, and personally stepped forward to hold Le'er in her arms.

The little man who is already one and a half years old is really not light, Ning Yuan was worried that the Queen Mother would be tired, and wanted to go up to persuade her, but seeing that the Queen Mother was full of anxiety and love, she hesitated again and again, and held back the conversation.

Entering her grandmother's arms, Le'er finally quieted down a little, but she was still sobbing quietly, the Queen Mother thought about it, and said to a few nursing mothers: "Concubine Yi has to recuperate, there is not so much effort to take care of the child, you take the princess to the mourning palace first, and then bring the princess back after a while." ”

"Yes." The people of the nursing palace responded and hurried into action.

After a while, Xiao Le'er was carried into the imperial grandmother's carriage.

Xu Jinhe hung his head and waited at the gate of Yufu Palace. From beginning to end, except for the sentence that asked her to be grounded in Fengyi Palace, the Queen Mother didn't say a word to herself, and this Queen Xu looked at the carriage that gradually disappeared from sight, and her mood was extremely heavy.

Because this feeling of not being trusted is too terrifying.

The carriage shook, and Le'er finally felt a little more comfortable, and before she could reach Funing Palace, she fell asleep again in the arms of the imperial grandmother. The Queen Mother has been holding the little guy with her own hands, as if the daughter who had no chance to be born many years ago has returned, and she cherishes it very much. When he came to the gate of Funing Palace, he kissed the head of his little granddaughter dotingly, and then got out of the carriage with the villain.

Although the hall was quiet, Chu Xue never fell asleep.

Qijing came over to report that Le'er followed the Queen Mother to Funing Palace, and she answered. That's fine, she is like this now, at least she has to stay in bed for more than ten days, there is no way to take care of Le'er, the queen mother loves Le'er, and the little guy will naturally not be treated badly in Funing Palace. At the same time, she can also free up her energy to think about the next step.

The Queen Mother said that Song Chen was already on his way back, but she didn't know where he had arrived? On his return trip, he must have a chance of winning on the battlefield, anyway, she doesn't have to worry about the major affairs of the court, and now she should be thinking about how to give Xu Jinhe another blow.

After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Chu Xue instructed Yanling, "Tell Fugui to go to Manager Qiu to inquire about it, see if there is any news from the emperor, and if possible, find a way to ask someone to bring a letter." ”

Yan Ling responded and hurriedly went to pass the word.

Things should be done sooner rather than later, Song Chen must be allowed to come back as much as possible, only by letting him see his sick and weak appearance with his own eyes will he be angry to investigate, once it is investigated, Xu Jinhe will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

She has already paid for a child, no matter what, she has to pay back!
