Chapter 21: Returning to the Palace

"Zhu Man, forbid that the two of you deliberately framed and reversed black and white! Two people will be punished with a hundred rods!

Lin Xiaojin shouted decisively, and Lu Zhu silently gave a thumbs up to his master in his heart.

The two cried and were caught by the guards and dragged out the door. After a while, I heard a miserable wail outside.

The rest of Liu Zhangjiao stared at Lin Xiaojin in a panic, and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother... What about me?"

"You're better than those two, and when they get beaten, you get on your knees and kowtow. ”

Lin Xiaojin really can't think of any way to punish people, only this will do.

Although Liu Zhangjiao felt that this punishment was very strange, it was better than being beaten by himself, and he immediately thanked him happily and retired.

Xiao Qiye, who was standing by the door, heard Lin Xiaojin's sentence, and felt funny, and muttered in a low voice: "It's too light." ”

When the three of them left the Taoist temple, other Taoist congregations came out to see them off.

The Taoist priests who supervised her on weekdays showed sincere and fearful expressions, and they looked respectful and cautious.

Probably because he was afraid that after Lin Xiaojin returned to the palace, once he gained power, he would come back to punish them.

probably knew that it was the nobles in the palace who were leaving, and even Lu Zhiming came out to see him off.

Lin Xiaojin saw Lu Zhiming standing at the forefront of the sect from a distance, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Lu Zhiming is worthy of being a master of cultivating aura, and his temperament is different.

His cold eyebrows were pure and desireless, and even if he didn't say a word, he had a kind of detachment that was independent of the world. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to summon Lu Zhiming into the palace and help her repair the spirit core.

Lin Xiaojin was looking at Lu Zhiming and could see that Xiao Qiye deliberately coughed lightly unhappily and reminded her that it was time to go.

Out of the door of the Taoist temple, Lin Xiaojin saw that the mighty carriages and horses were already waiting outside the Taoist temple.

Hundreds of guards were neatly aligned, and two gorgeous carriages and horses were parked at the forefront, and such a magnificent and atmospheric battle suddenly made people feel a sense of power in their hearts.

It's not like when she was sent to the Taoist temple that day, just like the dispatch of the frontier, a bumpy carriage with a coachman, and it swayed like this.

Lu Zhu probably hadn't seen such a battle for a long time, and he whispered beside Lin Xiaojin in surprise: "Queen Mother, what a big style! Is it really to take us back to the palace?"

Lin Xiaojin smiled and nodded, rarely quiet.

She glanced at Xiao Qiye beside her, his side face was so cold and arrogant, but it was inexplicably reassuring.

So she was going to thank him?

She finally went out of this Taoist temple in the mountains, and it was at this moment that she suddenly knew what she wanted in a daze.

She wants to know her past, what happened before she lost her memory, and who caused her to fall into the ice lake in the first place.

She always felt that she had to do something, and she couldn't expect King Qi to help her all the time, right?

Xiyao Imperial Palace, the magnificent Fushou Palace, the charcoal fire is booming, and the whole house is warm.

Concubine Su Qingqing is nearly thirty years old, with a beautiful appearance, very charming between her eyebrows and eyes, and quite a mature woman's charm.

Her red dress was embroidered with peony flowers with gold thread, and she leaned gracefully on the soft bench.

At her feet knelt grovelling two women who flattered her.

One is Concubine Jiang Shu, who is slightly younger than Concubine Su, wearing water-red clothes, with a slight powder on her face, and she looks a little beautiful.

The other is Zheng Meiren, who is about twenty-four or five years old, with a palm-sized face, delicate facial features, and a beautiful and moving appearance.

These two were originally the concubines of the first emperor.

However, the mother of Xiyao is expensive by virtue of her son, and only women who have a presence in the harem can be promoted to a concubine or concubine after the death of the first emperor.
