Shu E was shocked when she heard this: "The emperor and the queen mother? How could that be? ”

"It's for the girl's home." Sister-in-law He still whispered.

Only then did Shu E understand what Sister-in-law He meant, and hesitated: "You mean, before and after I return home, that ...... They quarreled more than once? ”

Sister-in-law He nodded and said, "Once before the girl returned home, and once before the girl left." ”

Shu E's face was full of incredulity, and after thinking for a moment, she still couldn't believe it, and said slowly: "The emperor has always been respectful and obedient to the queen mother, and the queen mother is decisive and wise, and she is very knowledgeable, how can the emperor not follow her insight?" I heard that the Queen Mother has been in power for many years, making decisions for thousands of miles, and cultivating the government, and the emperor has always respected her opinions......" Shu E said this, suddenly covered her mouth, looked at Sister-in-law He, and said in a low voice: "Shu E lost her words. ”

Sister-in-law He said: "The old woman doesn't understand the affairs of the government. I have always rarely had the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but the Emperor is benevolent and filial, and the Queen Mother is loving, and everyone in the palace knows it. However, there was indeed a dispute between the emperor and the queen mother because of your matter. ”

Sister-in-law He saw that Shu E's face was still a little suspicious, so she said to herself: "The first time was on the eighth day of the seventh month, the emperor went to Fengzhu Palace for some reason, and asked the queen mother to send you back to the house. ”

Shu E was taken aback, a pair of clear eyes just looked at Sister-in-law He, and after a moment's pause, she said: "You said that it was the eighth day of the seventh month, and the emperor went to Fengzhu Palace and asked the queen mother to send me home?" ”

Sister-in-law He nodded.

Shu E knew that Sister-in-law He was not a person of many words, and she would not joke about these things with herself, but when she heard it, she always felt very unbelievable. Although she saw Sister-in-law He nodding in affirmation, Shu E couldn't help but shake her head.

Sister-in-law He didn't delve into this with Shu E, but continued: "But that time, the Queen Mother not only did not allow it, but was very angry. The emperor repeatedly stated to the Queen Mother, but in the end he was still not allowed. In the days that followed, the emperor was depressed all the time, and it was for this reason. ”

"The emperor has been depressed...... "Shu E repeated meaninglessly.

"The second time was on July 16, the Queen Mother suddenly asked the girl to leave the palace and go home, and you left in a hurry. After the girl left, the emperor saw the queen mother, and the two talked for a long time. This time, it was the emperor who asked the queen mother why she sent you back to the house. Sister-in-law He still whispered.

Shu E's mind was foggy, and she didn't know what she was doing before and after. A pair of eyes just looked at Sister-in-law He's face, as if they were asking Sister-in-law He something.

"The emperor asked the Queen Mother to send you back to the house at the beginning, but the Queen Mother refused to allow it. Later, the Queen Mother suddenly sent you back to the house for some reason, but the emperor went to the Queen Mother for this. Sister-in-law He looked at Shu E and said, "Girl, what is the reason for this?" ”

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Shu E's mind, and she looked at Sister-in-law He's eyes and said, "You said it was in July?" ”

Sister-in-law He said: "The eighth day of July and the sixteenth day of July. In fact, it was only eight or nine days apart. ”

Shu E said again: "At that time, the queen mother and the emperor were not in the inner house. ”

Sister-in-law He nodded: "That's what is still in the Yujin Garden of the Imperial Palace." ”

Shu E said again: "You said Feng Zhu Palace? ”

Sister-in-law He nodded: "I heard that it was the residence of the Queen Mother in Yujin Garden." ”

Shu E suddenly stood up, looked at Sister-in-law He and said solemnly, "I heard? Sister-in-law, who are you listening to? Shu E looked at Sister-in-law He's puzzled look, paused, and continued: "When I went to my Yujin Garden, Sister-in-law He, you didn't follow. So how do you know the things in Yujin Garden so clearly? ”

Shu E seemed to sense that she was too emotional, took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law He, there is a saying called 'people are terrible'. What you said to me today is even more terrifying. Sister-in-law He, such a thing, Sun Niangzi doesn't know the way, Sister Lilac doesn't know the way, and the people who want to come to Yujin Garden with me don't know the way, but how do you know the way? ”

Sister-in-law He was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "I just want the girl to know that the emperor's heart for the girl is not just as simple as what you see. The emperor is behind the girl, and has done more things for the girl that you don't know how to do. But I don't know why the emperor first asked the queen mother to send the girl back to the house, and then argued with the queen mother because the queen mother sent the girl back. I'm afraid that the reason for this, except for the emperor himself, no one knows the way. As for the person who told me these things, he was also a person who, like me, hoped that the girl would understand the emperor's heart. ”

"I hope I understand the emperor's intentions......" Shu E lowered her head, thinking secretly in her heart, and suddenly looked up at Sister-in-law He and said, "Yes...... Is it Shun Jieyu? Then he denied it: "Shun Jieyu never went to Yujin Garden." And who else is there? Is it the Queen? ”

Sister-in-law He smiled and said, "The queen doesn't know what to do if she wants to come...... Well, this incident was told to me by Miss Liuli. ”

The name Liuli is like a lightning bolt rolling through Shu'e's mind, and many things and pictures appear in Shu'e's eyes, all of which are related to Liuli.

At the beginning, I knew that Lu Dao Liuli was a person who was Shu E in the bitter bamboo forest to celebrate the birthday of the third young master, and after returning drunk. Shu E knew that the person she saw before she was drunk was the emperor, but she heard Hua Fu and Lilac say that it was Liuli who sent her back to Yong'an Hall.

It's not a maid next to the emperor, but Liuli next to the queen mother.

At that time, the Queen Mother came to visit Shu E, but she only blamed her for offering wine in the bitter bamboo forest without permission, but she never said that she lost her honor in front of the emperor after she was drunk. It can be seen that Liuli did not say anything about herself in front of the Queen Mother, and even, Liuli did not tell the Queen Mother that she saw Mrs. Yongan in the bitter bamboo forest.

Because of this incident, Shu E was always a little weak and evasive when she saw Liuli. Especially every time she saw Liuli and saw the kind of smile on her face, it always made Shu E think of her gaffe in the bitter bamboo forest.

Liuli is very generous, and she is always very enthusiastic about Shu'e. No matter when Shu E went to greet the Queen Mother, when she saw Liuli, she greeted her with a smile.

This is Shu E's initial impression of Liuli, and it is also the first intersection between the two of them.

After the two encounters with Liuli, Shu E remembered at this moment and remembered clearly in her heart, one was on the night of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and the other was on the day she left the palace, July 16.

The coincidence of time reminded Shu E of Sister-in-law He's words, the two disputes between the emperor and the queen mother, one was on the eighth day of the seventh month, and the other was on the sixteenth day of July.

Shu E suddenly felt in her heart that if she thought about it carefully, maybe she could think of something.
