Soon after Xiangxiang left, a palace maid ran to Su Ruoxi to report.

"Three princesses, the queen is invited!"

Su Ruoxi glanced at the palace maid, who was the maid in the queen's palace.

However, now the queen is still grounded, so whether she goes or not, the queen can't do anything with her.

"Go back and tell Queen Sù, just say that this princess is not free today, and I will go to her old man's house another day to say goodbye."

Su Ruoxi refused without hesitation, she was still busy looking for Wan'er, how could she have time to face the queen.

It's just that the palace maid didn't immediately retreat, but took out a very ordinary hairpin, handed it to Su Ruoxi and continued: "The queen mother said that she just missed the three princesses very much, and wanted to invite the three princesses to come over for a gathering. ”

Su Ruoxi took the hairpin and looked at it, and recognized it as Wan'er's hairpin at a glance.

It seems that Wan'er is now at the queen's place, and it is really impossible for her not to go.

Out of the dormitory, Su Ruoxi happened to meet Xiangxiang who came back, so she told Sù Xiangxiang that she didn't have to look for Wan'er, and she was going to the queen.

Xiangxiang is a smart person, and when she heard Su Ruoxi say this, she understood the problem.

Su Ruoxi was led by the maid and soon came to the Middle Palace.

Although the queen was grounded, the middle palace did not become deserted, and there were many guards inside and out.

When she walked into the courtyard, the queen was sitting in the courtyard and leisurely boiling tea.

The fragrant smell of tea wafts in, giving people a feeling of refreshment.

"The queen is really interested, and she actually makes tea herself."

Su Ruoxi walked in front of the queen, and while speaking, she bowed her head slightly to show her salute.

Seeing Su Ruoxi, the queen raised her hand and motioned for her to sit, and then personally poured a cup of tea for Su Ruoxi.

"Taste the craftsmanship of Hongu."

Su Ruoxi glanced at the purple sand teacup on the table, put the teacup on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, seemingly tasting tea, but actually to determine if there was a problem in the tea.

After making sure that there was no other medicine in this cup of tea, she took a sip slowly.

"Queen Mother, we don't talk darkly, Niangniang will say anything if you come to me, and please let my people go after speaking."

"A little girl, even if she does something wrong, is not enough to make the queen of the world angry, right?"

Today's queen, without the support of her uncle, is not a problem at all.

So Su Ruoxi is not afraid of her, and there is no need to pretend to lower her eyebrows in front of her.

The queen was not in a hurry, and while boiling tea, she said slowly: "The palace listened, the third princess and the third prince went to Quanzhou for a trip?" I don't know, how did the third princess play in Quanzhou? ”

Speaking of Quanzhou, Su Ruoxi will not forget that when she and Mu Zihan were about to leave, they met an assassin on the lake.

And those assassins are from the palace.

If she didn't guess wrong, the queen should have known that Mu Zihan went to Quanzhou to check on her and the prince.

"The scenery of Quanzhou is good, so the concubines only care about playing."

Su Ruoxi looked at the queen with a smile, and the meaning of her words was that she was just going to play, and nothing had anything to do with her, so don't think about asking for news from her.

The queen sighed slightly, and said indifferently: "Third princess, you are a smart person, and this palace will not beat around the bush with you." ”

"This palace only asks you one thing, as long as you tell the truth to this palace, this palace will release your maid ring."

Su Ruoxi thought for a while, "I want to see Wan'er first!" ”

No one who saw Wan'er, and she didn't dare to believe that Wan'er was really in the hands of the queen.

She didn't dare to guarantee that the queen just took Wan'er's things to trick her words.

And even if Wan'er is in the hands of the queen, she has to meet Wan'er first and make sure that Wan'er is fine.

"Bring people out!"

The queen said to the maid beside her, and the maid withdrew.

After a while, Wan'er was escorted over by two maids.

It's just that Wan'er's hands were tied behind her back, and her eyes were covered by a black cloth.

"Queen Mother, I don't know what wrong Wan'er has done? The queen wants to imprison her privately? ”

Seeing Wan'er, Su Ruoxi opened her mouth to ask, although the queen is the master of the harem, she cannot abuse her power.

Could it be that in order to threaten her, the queen has not hesitated to use such despicable means?

Hearing Su Ruoxi's voice, Wan'er suddenly became a little excited.

"Princess? Is that you, Princess? Woowoowoo...... Wan'er didn't damage the queen's flowers, Wan'er really didn't. ”

The queen did not answer Su Ruoxi's question, but the maid beside the queen explained to Su Ruoxi: "Back to the third princess, yesterday the queen ordered the slave maid to go to the imperial garden to bring a pot of camellia back. ”

"As soon as the slave maid walked out of the imperial garden, she met a panicked Wan'er, Wan'er hit the slave's body, and the pot of camellia in the slave's hand was smashed to the ground and shattered, and the camellia also died."

"That pot of camellias, but the queen mother's favorite."

After listening to the maid's explanation, Su Ruoxi understood what happened.

Although she believed that Wan'er was wronged, she had no choice but if the queen wanted to punish Wan'er.

"The third princess, your people killed the most beloved flower in the palace, and the palace just imprisoned her for one night, which can be regarded as showing mercy to the third princess."

"The rules of the harem are also very clear to the third princess, if it is replaced by someone else, the palace will directly punish a hundred people."

The corners of the queen's mouth were slightly hooked, and she looked at Su Ruoxi very confidently.

Although she didn't get along with Su Ruoxi for a long time, she knew Su Ruoxi and knew that Su Ruoxi's weakness was to have feelings for the people around her.

It's nothing more than a harem or a family, this weakness is fatal.

"If the queen has any questions, just ask, but the concubines are ignorant, and I hope the queen will explain the problem clearly."

"Otherwise, the concubine said the wrong thing, or the answer was not satisfactory to the mother, so don't blame the concubine for not saying it clearly in advance."

Su Ruoxi grinded her teeth secretly, thinking that she really couldn't guard against the old fox of the queen.

She had just returned to the capital, and before she had time to arrange to investigate the queen's affairs, the queen attacked her first.

Seeing that Su Ruoxi finally relented, a smug glint flashed in the queen's eyes.

She waved her hand and motioned for all the people to retreat, leaving only her and Su Ruoxi in the courtyard before asking.

"This palace just wants to know, what did the third prince find when he went to Quanzhou?"

Su Ruoxi snorted coldly in her heart, seeing that the queen was still on guard, knowing that she already knew the truth, but she still refused to ask directly.

It's just that she has made it clear just now, and the queen is still beating around the bush like this, so don't blame her for pretending to be confused.

She said that just now in order to make the queen feel weak and admit the fact that the prince was not born to the queen.
