.

Back at the palace, Su Ruoxi found that the palace guards had become strict.

But the guards gave her a strange feeling, all of them cold, as if they were not guarding the palace, but guarding a large prison.

However, she knew that the guards of the palace were now replaced by the people of the prince, so she didn't think it was strange.

After entering the palace, Su Ruoxi did not return to the Spring Warm Pavilion, but went directly to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother.

The situation of the Queen Mother in Cining Palace now is no different from being under house arrest.

When she arrived at Cining Palace, she happened to see Chu Yue being stopped outside the palace gate and making a fuss.

"You damn dogs and slaves, why don't you let the lord of this county meet the queen mother! Get out of the way of this lord! ”

At this moment, the first moon has changed into the county lord's clothes.

Su Ruoxi stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, the eunuch who was blocking the way replied in a sharp voice: "The high priest has come to visit the Queen Mother, who has been unwell recently and does not want to see anyone. ”

Seeing Su Ruoxi, Chu Yue suddenly became more confident.

"The Queen Mother is unwell? The high priest knows how to heal, so let the high priest go in and show the queen mother! ”

Su Ruoxi didn't expect that Chu Yue would want to let her in, could it be that Chu Yue had already noticed that something was wrong?

When she looked at Chu Yue, Chu Yue winked at her with a somewhat solemn expression.

Although Chu Yue usually likes to make trouble, but people are not stupid, the guards in this palace have changed, no matter how stupid she is, she can guess that there is something wrong in the palace.

So, Su Ruoxi coughed and said to the eunuch: "This father-in-law, what the county lord said is right. This priest is good at medicine, and he can just go in to diagnose the Queen Mother. ”

"The Queen Mother's Eucharist is important, if there is anything missing, I'm afraid we can't afford it."

As soon as these words came out, the father-in-law showed a very embarrassed expression.

He knew that the Queen Mother was really angry because of her house arrest, and she had been lying in bed for two days.

Although the prince controlled the palace, he also ordered that the queen mother should not be neglected.

But the queen mother has a strong temperament, and when she falls ill, she refuses to ask the imperial doctor to treat her, which makes them very difficult for these minions.

After some hesitation, the father-in-law relented and asked the door to be opened.

"Open the door! Let the priest go in and visit the Queen Mother! ”

After the door of the temple was opened, Su Ruoxi walked straight in.

Hatsuki wanted to follow, but was stopped again.

"You|minion! He even dared to stop the county lord! ”

Chu Yue shouted angrily, gritting her teeth in anger.

"The county lord, please calm your anger, the queen mother is unwell, it is not appropriate to be disturbed, the priest is already very accommodating when he goes in."

Hearing the eunuch's words, Chu Yue was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to beat someone.

Seeing this, Su Ruoxi stopped Chu Yue and said, "County Lord, you better wait outside." ”

"I'll go in and see the Queen Mother, and I'll come out in a while and report the Queen Mother's situation to the county lord, the county lord can rest assured."

The first moon had no choice, so she could only wait outside the temple.

"Good! I've been waiting here for you to come out. ”

Su Ruoxi could see that although Chu Yue was rude and willful, she really cared about the Queen Mother.

As soon as she entered the palace, the door was shut.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the Queen Mother coughed while lying on the bed, and said in a weak voice: "Yue'er...... Is that you, Yue'er......"

Su Ruoxi stepped forward and saw that the Queen Mother was pale, tired, and sick.

"Queen Mother, I'm sorry that the county lord was stopped outside."

Hearing Su Ruoxi's voice, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and said, "Yes...... It's you...... What about the emperor? Has the emperor also returned? ”

"The emperor is still on the grassland, but everything is fine with him, and the emperor asked Ruoxi to come back first."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was really sick, Su Ruoxi did not tell the Queen Mother about Xuanyuan Yumo's assassination on the grassland, so as not to make the Queen Mother excited and aggravate her condition.

"It's a pity...... You...... You help the mourners to sit up, but the mourners have not seen you for a long time, but they have a lot to say to you. ”

"The Queen Mother is unwell, so let's lie down."

"By the way, this is the medicine I prepared for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took it, and she will get better soon."

Su Ruoxi took out the medicine that had been given to Chuyue before, then poured a glass of water and asked the Queen Mother to take the medicine.

Now the situation in the palace is tense, although she doesn't like the queen mother, she has to think about the overall situation.

After the Queen Mother took the medicine and rested for a while, her complexion quickly recovered a little, and she had more strength to speak than before.

"The medical skills of the Yin and Yang family are really powerful, this old problem of the mourning family, the imperial doctor in the palace has been cured for so many years, and there is no way."

"After taking your medicine, the mourning family feels much smoother."

After speaking, the Queen Mother sat up.

Su Ruoxi put a pillow on her waist and let the Queen Mother half lie on the bed.

"If it's a pity, you are a smart person, you must be able to see what is going on in the palace now, right?"

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her dim eyes.

Su Ruoxi nodded, she could see that the Queen Mother was recalling the past, and those things might be related to Guogong.

"Although the mourning family is old, many things can still be seen clearly. The emperor didn't come back with you, is he in trouble? ”

Knowing that she couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother, Su Ruoxi could only tell the truth: "The Queen Mother is wise, the emperor did meet assassins on the grassland before. ”

"However, the emperor is fine, and now there is no danger on the grassland, so the queen mother does not have to worry."

Hearing Su Ruoxi say this, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "All this is evil!" ”

"Where did the Queen Mother say this?"

"For so many years, Guogong has always had a hatred for the mourning family in his heart. Therefore, after the death of the first emperor, he took control of the power of the court. ”

"He wants to take back what belongs to him, but he doesn't know it...... Hey......"

The Queen Mother was halfway through her words, but she didn't continue, as if she had a last resort.

Su Ruoxi was anxious to hear it, so she no longer concealed it, but asked bluntly: "Queen Mother, in fact, if you come to the Queen Mother this time, you want to ask the Queen Mother for something." ”

"It's for the sake of the country, right?"

Before Su Ruoxi could say any doubts, the Queen Mother had already guessed half of it, as if she had already expected the current situation in the palace.

Su Ruoxi nodded and said seriously: "This matter will be related to the life and death of the emperor, so please ask the Queen Mother to think about it carefully before answering my question." ”

She didn't use a pleading tone, because now it was not her begging for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Yumo who needed her help.

"You say!"

It seemed that no one had ever dared to speak to her like this, so that the Queen Mother's face was a little ugly.

"I want to know, the grievances between you and Guogong, as well as what you know about Guogong, what weaknesses he has, or what secrets, I want to know!"
