Whether it's really sincere Mei Rui can't tell it, it's just that the recipe is very hot, Mei Rui still frowned, Lu Zhi told her that King Xiang's words and deeds are not credible, who knows what kind of cat is hidden behind. Besides, in this matter, Lu Zhi has his own arrangements, if she does something out of thin air, it will ruin his plan.

Thinking of this, Mei Rui put the prescription back, and said calmly to King Xiang: "The prince's kindness, please forgive the slave and the maid for not even daring to comprehend it, it is not a wise move for the prince to come to discuss with the slave and maid for such a big thing, the protector has his own ideas, and the prince and the protector have always gotten along well, where did the peace come from?" Today, the slave and maid have never been to Jinghuayuan, nor have they seen this prescription, and the slave and maid do not know anything about what the prince said, and please don't blame the slave and maid. ”

Bent his knees to him, "Your Majesty also explained some things to the slave maid, and the slave and maid retired first." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly left, and he didn't look back, and he didn't want to see what kind of expression King Xiang had after hearing her words, Sui Yuan was still standing in front of the boulder admiring the flowers, and saw her walking out of it quickly, with a cold expression.

If you don't come up and shout, it won't be Sui Yuan, he smiled and folded his hands and asked, "What did my cousin talk about with the prince, so it's almost over......"

Who knew that Merry ignored him and walked straight in front of him. Sui Yuan sighed, he didn't know where she got such a big anger, and walked slowly to the pavilion, and saw that King Xiang's face was not very good.

He asked for peace, and King Xiang snorted coldly, "Your cousin is very interesting." ”

There was a bit of gritting of teeth between the words, and Sui Yuan was happy to hear it, he took a pinch of his words, and then said: "It is indeed very interesting as it is, otherwise it would not have won the blue eyes of Lu Hujun and His Majesty." ”

King Xiang glanced at him, "Don't you have anything else to say besides these?" ”

But if she has been in a high place for a long time, she has already made her own conclusions about everything, but she always wants others to guess it, Sui Yuan smiled and said: "If you don't accept this prescription, why not if she has already received it?" This matter is not to be done by Lu Zhi's hand in person, it is up to the prince to do it, and it will eventually point to Lu Zhi, so why do you have to get together to make a boring one? ”

King Xiang smacked Sui Yuan's words for a moment, and tasted something more cunning than killing people with a knife, he squinted his eyes and looked at Sui Yuan, and sighed: "Just according to what you say." Then he stood up, stopped beside Sui Yuan after walking two steps, raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Not bad." ”

After staying in the palace for a short time, she went back to Chang'an, Huaizhu finally didn't get back the embroidered shoes she left in Sui Yuan, and when she returned to the palace, she was also very depressed, she took Mei Rui's hand, and said very worriedly: "I heard that there is any witchcraft that can be performed through people's clothes and clothing, does your cousin believe in any evil, and he wants to take me to the evil cult to resist his fate?" ”

Huaizhu had a look of impending disaster, and Mei Rui had no choice but to persuade her, "Where are there so many evil cults, but they are just made up by the world, even though Sui Yuan is a little frivolous and profligate, but I remember that he never believed in these, you don't have to guess." ”

"Then why didn't he give me back his shoes?" Huaizhu muttered, "Could it be that he really likes me?" ”

Thinking about it, she felt ridiculous, and hurriedly shook her head and shook off this idea, who knew that after this sentence entered Mei Rui's ears, it set off a lot of waves, she pursed her lips and said to Huaizhu: "In short, you don't want to provoke Sui Yuan again." ”

Huaizhu looked at Mei Rui incredulously, "Rui Rui, what do you mean for me to provoke him!" She threw away Mei Rui's hand and puffed up, "It's clear that he posted it first to provoke me, and I just took off my shoes and socks by the pool to play in the water, is this also wrong?" Who knew where he would come out of and blame me? ”

She felt that she was very wronged, and her eyes were red when she landed, Mei Rui saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly grabbed her hand to coax her, who knew that Huaizhu would not obey death, so she simply turned her back to look at her and did not look at her. There was no way, Mei Rui could only say behind her: "It's me who said the wrong thing, you know I don't mean that, I mean, you stay away from him, don't have anything to do with him anymore." ”

Huaizhu turned his face slightly and asked in a low voice, "Rui Rui, do you know anything, but you didn't tell me?" ”

Of course, Mei Rui replied no, but Huaizhu didn't believe it, she frowned, "Then why do you look like you're afraid that something will happen to me and Sui Yuan, you said that he is frivolous and prodigal, and the prodigal son can turn back, but you are so evasive about me and him, there must be some relationship I don't know, do you really want to sue me?" ”

She loves to think crankily on weekdays, but now it has all worked, and the truth has been guessed by her, Mei Rui can't hide it anymore, so she can only sigh and honestly tell her about the incident she also heard back then.

Sui Yuan once had a childhood sweetheart named Yu Niang, who had been with him since he was a child. Mei Rui has seen it once, it is seven points similar to Huaizhu, Yu Niang's body is not very good, and she died of illness in the period before Mei Rui went to Chang'an, Mei Rui remembered that Sui Yuan rarely showed a sad color, and that was why.

When she first saw Huaizhu, she felt familiar, and later recalled that it was because of her resemblance to Yu Niang, but this was all irrelevant, because she did not mention it to Huaizhu, who would have expected Sui Yuan to come to this Chang'an, and also met Huaizhu.

After telling this old story, Mei Rui's heart was also a little lighter, and she said to Huaizhu: "Sui Yuan looked at you, probably remembered Yu Niang, no matter what his thoughts are now, it is not good after all, those embroidered shoes were taken by him, it doesn't matter, you must not have anything to do with him again, okay?" ”

Huaizhu didn't answer for a long time, and answered in a low voice under Mei Rui's repeated urging, "Okay." ”

Mei Rui still couldn't put her mind at ease, but Huaizhu agreed like this, she could only put this matter aside for the time being, and was thinking about whether to go to Zichen Palace, but she heard a hurried knock on the door, Huaizhu was still stunned and unwilling to move, Mei Rui had to get up and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Fu San'er's panicked face jumped into his eyes, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and gasped: "Aunt Rui, something is wrong!" ”

It was not Zichen Hall that had an accident, but Xingqing Palace. Mei Rui followed Fu San'er to Xingqing Palace and walked quickly, and Fu San'er whispered to her: "This morning, the Xiangyun girl next to the Queen Mother's mother presented medicine for her mother as usual...... Passed on the imperial doctor to diagnose it, the Tao was a miscarriage, this is a big ugly thing! The first emperor has been dead for so long, where did she get pregnant? The guards were already in Xingqing Palace, and there was a lot of fire, and His Majesty also followed there, and the slave thought that only you could reduce the anger of these two people a little, so he dared to invite you to go. ”

He pleaded and said to Mei Rui: "The things that the Queen Mother has done are indeed death-proof, but the slave always feels that something is wrong with this time. Niangniang, she has a lot of people who know about the first thing in the palace, and there has never been anything wrong, why did she get pregnant, and she also took a small pill by mistake, how could this Xiangyun girl give the tonic medicine to the wrong end into a small pill? So who is this small production medicine going to be served to? The more the slave thought about it, the more frightened he felt, you persuaded the protectors, Lu Niangniang's revenge must be avenged, but I was afraid that this was a trap set by others, so I waited to invite the protectors into the urn. ”

Merry nodded, "Don't worry, I know." ”

The two of them traveled very fast, in front of Xingqing Palace, there was a column of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, Mei Rui gritted her teeth, stepped over the high threshold and entered, the Empress Dowager Zhao was lying on the huge bed, Lu Zhi sat on the free seat, closed her eyes, looked very indifferent, I didn't know what I was thinking, I opened my eyes when I heard footsteps, and saw that it was Mei Rui coming, he frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

She stopped ten paces away from him, lowered her eyes, and said, "I heard that His Majesty is also here, and the slave maid has come to look for His Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty has already gone back to Zichen Palace," Lu Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, "This is not the place you should be, go back." ”

I was worried about him all the way, but now I saw it, but I couldn't say anything, Mei Rui's throat was a little dry, but she didn't know how to resist what he said, now is indeed not the time to be petty, and she is not the kind of willful person.

He could only nod his head and said softly, "The slave knows." ”

After she left, Lu Zhi also sent all the servants in Xingqing Palace away, and slowly approached the bed, the air was still filled with the smell of blood, Mrs. Zhao was lying there palely, heard the movement, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Lu Zhen, gritted her teeth and said: "Evil seed!" ”

"I don't know whose evil seed it is that just fell out of Niangniang's womb," Lu Zhen's face did not change, "Is it King Xiang, or is it the Taoist chief?" ”

His appearance is five points similar to that of Lu Guifei back then, and the corners of Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes turned red with hatred: "Anyway, it's not you, a eunuch!" She raised her voice, and she was not afraid that people outside would hear it, "How can you spend Mei Jingchen's daughter?" Don't you want her to see what kind of thing her sweetheart is? You let her come back, and the mourning family wants to tell her well, how did you charm the lord back then, climbed onto the dragon bed of the first emperor, and relied on the grace of the first emperor to get to this point! You let her come back! ”

She was extremely weak, and the words she shouted out were just angry, Lu Zhi looked at her condescendingly, her words were very peaceful, and she could smell some compassion: "Niangniang really can't get tired of talking about these things, but instead of caring about the relationship between the minister and the emperor, Niangniang should care about her current situation, such a big ugly thing is known to everyone, and the second half of your life is afraid that it has nothing to do with Ronghua." ”

He stood there with his sleeves down, his expression was unwavering, "The cold palace is a good place to go, and when the mother has raised her body better, she will move in." This is also the first honor since the founding of Dajin, there has never been a precedent for the queen mother to enter the cold palace, such a grand treatment, and please enjoy it. ”

"It's not because of you!" Empress Dowager Zhao pinched the corners of the quilt and shouted hoarsely, "Do you dare to say that you didn't change the mourning family's shunzi soup?" Do you dare to say that the bowl of soup medicine that came from Xiangyun today was not instructed by you? If it weren't for you, how could the mourning family have fallen to such a point! Lu Zhen! You have harmed the mourning family so far, the mourning family will repay it a hundred times, you wait for the mourning family, mourning the family...... Mourning ......"

Lu Zhi glanced at her indifferently, "If Niangniang thinks that the minister did it, then it is the minister's doing, the infamy on the shoulders of the left and right ministers is much back, and it is not bad for the mother to buckle the top for the minister, but Niangniang forgot the most important thing." He lowered his voice, "If people don't know, unless they do it, why didn't Niangniang think that there would be today when she did these things?" ”

The smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely sharp, and it made Empress Dowager Zhao's heart chill, "Niangniang's current situation, besides herself, who is to blame?" ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and no matter how old Mrs. Zhao stood up from the bed with a pale complexion, his voice was hoarse, and Fu San'er looked a little worried when he came up to add clothes for him, and whispered to him: "Auntie's expression was not very good when she left, do you want to go and see your aunt?" ”

Lu Zhi shook his head, "Go back to Beiya first." ”

In mid-autumn, Empress Dowager Zhao was deposed. As the deposed queen mother of Dajintou, this incident did cause a lot of waves in the court, and it made the Zhao family extremely dissatisfied. But I don't know what method Lu Zhi used to force down this monstrous resentment, except for the Xingqing front door, this palace city is not much different from the past.

Mei Rui was suddenly bumped into by someone on the way to Zichen Palace, she took a step back to take a clear look, but before she could catch the person, she stuck to her again, stuffed something into her arms, and hurriedly left with her head buried.

She was surprised to find a handkerchief from her arms, on which a line of words was written in blood, just a few words, Mei Rui read it over and over again, and her expression slowly became solemn.

Empress Dowager Zhao asked her to go to the cold palace and wanted to talk to her about something.
