On the morning of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the queen mother and the concubines of the palace went to the Qingning Palace as scheduled to greet the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The Empress Dowager Zhou lives in Qingning Palace, eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, and does not ask for a long time. The matter of the palace is said to have been since she moved into Qingning Palace, and not much has happened in the palace, only the queen's miscarriage is the most painful for her, and then there is that Concubine Yang was assassinated and died tragically in the dormitory.

Concubine Yang's death, she naturally felt that something was wrong, but Concubine Yang was useless to her, and it didn't matter if she died, so she didn't ask Zhu Youzhu to investigate.

"I haven't seen the queen for a long time," the Empress Dowager Zhou picked up the teacup and took a slight sip, with a little longing between her words.

"The Queen has not been in the palace for several days," said a woman on the right side of the seat.

"I heard that the queen saw Concubine Gong's sister die last time, so she was stimulated, and she was restless and suspicious all day long, so she moved to Xiyuan to recuperate," said the first emperor, the most favored concubine Yue Jing in his later years.

When the Queen Mother heard what she said, she immediately laughed and dismissed, "Recuperate? Concubine Jing really remembered everything in her mind, saying that she was recuperating in Xiyuan, I am afraid that she would have died outside. ”

The Empress Dowager Zhou was immediately displeased, and put down the teacup heavily, "The Empress Dowager is not going to talk nonsense, how can the word 'death' be said nonsense!" ”

"It's not the concubine's nonsense," the queen mother was not afraid, but had full confidence, "This is all said by the people of Kunning Palace." ”

Concubine Yue Jing was full of resentment when she heard what she said, and also sneered: "Who is the Queen Mother's move to guard against, and all the dogs are raised in Kunning Palace."

The Queen Mother sneered and was about to reply, but she heard the Queen Mother Zhou's slap and shock, "Okay! ”

She also shut up, only to see that the Empress Dowager Zhou was full of anger, and reprimanded sonorously: "Chuan Yin is in charge!"

Speaking of Kunning Palace, Nan Su heard the words of the people who came to summon her, and she couldn't help but worry, this paper can't contain the fire after all, the queen has been away from the palace for nearly two months, but there is no news in the palace for so many days, not to mention the queen mother, even herself, and she feels that this matter is becoming more and more unconcealable.

"Aunt Yin? Aunt Yin?"

Seeing that Nan Su was stunned, he didn't reply for a long time, so he couldn't help but call a few more times, and Nan Su suddenly came back to his senses, "I know, I'll go over later, you go back to your life first." ”

"Huh."

After the messengers left, Nan Xu said to Meidai: "You go to Fengtian Hall to find Zhang Yu and tell him that the queen mother can't hide the matter of leaving the palace, let him tell Your Majesty, and go to Qingning Palace with some retreat."

"Yes."

When Nan Su arrived at Qingning Palace, her face was calm and she was not open, but she was half a moment late, and it was inevitable that the queen mother would be ridiculed, but she was articulate and could deal with it freely.

The Queen Mother was willing to fall into the favor of Nanxu, and said bluntly: "The queen died outside the palace, why don't you truthfully report to the Queen Mother and the mourning family!"

Nan Su feigned surprise and knelt down to look at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Zhou asked: "Nan Xu, is it true that the Queen Mother said this?"

"The Empress Dowager clearly investigated, the queen mother left the palace because of the death of the housemother, His Majesty read the filial piety of the mother, and specially allowed her to return to her hometown to guard the filial piety for three months, but now the two months have not arrived, but there are such absurd words in the palace," Nan Xu turned her eyes from the Empress Dowager Zhou to the queen mother when she spoke, "The queen mother bewitched the public, saying that the queen mother died outside the palace, and the slave didn't know what her intentions were, but she really felt unfair for the mother, and asked the queen mother to severely punish the people who spoke foul language." ”

"Yin Nanxu!" The Queen Mother stood up abruptly and pointed at Nan Xu angrily, "You don't want to spew blood!" ”

"Is it the slave maid who is spewing blood, or the queen mother, you are bewitching the public, and you will know when the queen mother returns to the palace!"

The Queen Mother was angry, and then she came and slapped her face and was about to slap her south, but the Queen Mother Zhou stood up suddenly and shouted, "Presumptuous!" ”

"The Empress Dowager is angry," all the concubines stood up and bowed when they saw the situation.

"Do you still have the empress dowager in your eyes?"

The queen mother knew that something was wrong, and she also bowed and said: "The queen mother is angry."

The Empress Dowager Zhou sat down at this time, and the concubines also sat down with her.

"Queen Mother," the Queen Mother still did not give up, raised her eyes and said with a slight cry: "What the concubine just said, everything is true, if you don't believe it, you can pass on the capital of Kunning Palace Bizhu to come to ask."

Nan Su was stunned, Bizhu was honest and honest on weekdays, and she didn't want to be the queen mother.

Before the Empress Dowager Zhou could speak, a person outside the hall said in a deep voice: "Then pass Bizhu over to ask!"

Everyone in the hall looked at the prestige, and they all knelt down and said, "Knock on Your Majesty's holy peace."

Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yu came to this point and said, "Grandson greets the imperial grandmother."

"Zhang Yu," Zhu Youzhu straightened up and looked back at Zhang Yu, "You just heard what the Queen Mother said, why don't you go to Kunning Palace and call Bizhu quickly, so as not to misunderstand the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes."

If Bizhu doesn't come and still survive, this time, she will only be dragged out and killed, and the queen mother knows that the general trend has gone, so she naturally wants to shirk all the blame, so as to find a scapegoat to take the blame for her.

And this scapegoat, except for her Bizhu, there is no one else.

"Girl."

Zhang Junfang was sitting in front of the dresser and drawing his eyebrows in the mirror, when he suddenly heard a call, he was really startled, and his hands almost trembled.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Junyu didn't look at her sideways, still looking at his own eyebrows.

"There's someone out there looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

The maid nodded, "Yes." ”

"Male or female?"

"He's a handsome boy."

Zhang Junfang was overjoyed when he heard this, immediately put down his eyebrow pencil, stood up and walked towards Guitang.

The man in ink stood in the main hall, Zhang Junfang saw his back from a distance, and recognized him at a glance as the hundred households he met in the Mingpin Teahouse two days ago.

"Are you talking about big brother?" Zhang Junyu whispered.

Zhu Youzhu turned around when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "No, I'm looking for you." ”

"Looking for me?" Zhang Junfang smiled brightly, "What's the matter with me?" Don't you want me to say a few words to Brother Tan?"

Zhu Youjiao's expression darkened a little, but he still smiled, "Let's go out for a walk." ”

Zhang Junyu thought about it in his heart, and then asked the maid sideways: "How long will it take for Big Brother Tan to come back?"

The maid said, "A moment at most."

Zhang Junfang looked back with a sad face, and it was really inconvenient to refuse him, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you for a while."

Zhu Youzhu saw her walk out of the main hall straight past herself, and couldn't help but be gloomy, now she is full of others......

The two of them went out of the house, and they were silent all the way, and Zhu Youzhu said, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet."

"My name is Zhang Junyu, the 'all' of 'Lingjun', and the 'fir' of 'world' and 'wood'."

Zhang Junfang glanced sideways at Zhu Youzhu and asked, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Zhu."

"Then I'll call you Zhu Baihu."

"Well, I heard that there are a few new pastries in the Mingpin Tea House today, we might as well try them."

Zhang Junfang stopped, "No, Brother Tan is still waiting for me at home, let's go another day." ”

"Home?" Zhu Youzhu said softly, Zhang Junzhu didn't seem to hear it, and only said: "Brother Tan thinks that he has come back now, so I will go back first, if he can't find me, he will be worried."

Zhu Youzhu stared at Zhang Junfang's back as he gradually moved away, and his eyebrows had become Sichuan-shaped, and now Zhang Junzhu treated him like this, but his retribution?

"What about me......"
