When will the third young master return, is he just afraid that the Queen Mother will ask? Shu E knew in her heart that it was not, this was just a sentence that she wanted to ask, but she didn't have the courage to ask.

It's not that I'm afraid that I won't answer the emperor if I ask, so I don't dare to ask, but Dong Qingning's words took root in Shu E's heart for no reason.

The emperor smiled and said: "Tanglin has returned, and your brother will be triumphant soon." But after this incident, he has done a great service for our court, and he cannot be a hermit if he wants to. Besides, according to you, your sister-in-law has already told the queen mother about the command of the envoy in front of the horse. ”

It was already twilight when I returned to Yong'an Hall.

Seeing the solemn look on Hua Fu's face, and seeing Shu E's bad complexion, the people in Yong'an Hall held their breath.

Dinner was not moved, just went back to the room to cover the door, drank the water in the tea bowl in one gulp, waited until the second one was poured, put it to the lips but suddenly felt the throat choked, stayed for a while, put the tea bowl on the table lightly, no matter how much tea was spilled on the table, went straight to the couch and lay down.

I don't know when there is a double-eared celadon elephant foot incense burner in the inner room, the body of the furnace is the color of warm and moist beans, the whole body is delicate and moist, there is no trace of superfluous ornamentation, only the porcelain fetus that is as smooth as jade remains, as if the handwriting of Longquan kiln. The incense burned in the small porcelain incense burner, not the cool smell of the dipterocarp Suhexiang rewarded by the emperor around the Dragon Boat Festival, but the soft aroma that makes the muscles and bones soft, the limbs and brains, and all the places where there are feelings, are gradually loosened.

Hearing the sound of talking again, Shu E opened her eyes, and the moonlight had already shot in through the window.

Hua Fu's voice was outside the window: "Back to the emperor, the lady has already slept." ”

"Why do you go to bed so early? Feeling unwell? The emperor's voice was lower and deeper than Hua Fu, but it penetrated through the window little by little, and penetrated into Shu E's heart.

Shu E pulled up the thin brocade quilt that covered her chest and wrapped herself from head to toe.

But as soon as Agarwood slept, it seemed that all kinds of feelings became strangely clear, and although through the quilt, he could still hear the emperor's words of concern.

"It's better to let the slave go in and see if the lady is awake." Waffle said.

"Don't alarm her, tomorrow she wakes up and only tells her that the Queen Mother is not angry, but she is not feeling well, and she needs to recuperate for a while, so that she doesn't have to worry." The emperor's voice was as gentle as the undispersed aroma in the celadon furnace.

Listening to the emperor's footsteps gradually moving away, Shu E lifted the quilt covering her head.

There seemed to be something in the sleeve of the shirt, and when the arm was bent and stretched like this, he could feel the abnormality.

Shu E looked at the new red plain soft satin on the top of the embroidered couch, and a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water were embroidered in the middle of it. The colorful silk threads looked unclear in this unlit inner room, only the bright yellow on the back of the mandarin duck still retained some clarity.

Shu E stayed for a moment, then suddenly sat up from the couch, reached out and took out the brocade silk discarded by the Queen Mother from her sleeve.

Shu E unfolded the brocade silk and put it in front of her to look at it with all her might, but she couldn't see a word clearly.

However, Shu E still maintained a careful posture, looking at ink word by ink word from beginning to end. As if it can be seen, the fact is only because, today in the main hall of Qingshou Palace, the words on this brocade silk have been seen very well.

This is an edict drafted by the Queen Mother and returned to the court!

If this edict is promulgated, then the emperor's enthusiasm and strategy can be justifiably implemented.

However, this edict no longer had a chance to be revealed to the world.

The edict fell from the Queen Mother's fingertips, like a golden butterfly with broken wings.

The Queen Mother's words were cold and vague: This ...... You helped the mourning family ruin.

Shu E still clearly remembers that the emperor held his hand, and in that strength and temperature, it was his commitment as the pride of heaven to these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and the people.

However, Shu E's hand tightened little by little, and the gold and silver threads used in weaving the dragon pattern had a slightly rough touch, which frustrated Shu E's heart a little bit.

If he hadn't made the Queen Mother angry, why would the Queen Mother be angry and ruin this edict.

However, can I not make the Queen Mother angry? Can you tell me that the third young master is not in Cao's mansion on August 15th?

Even if Shu E didn't know that the Empress Dowager had not summoned the emperor at that time, even if the Empress Dowager told Shu E at that time that the emperor and Shang Wanyun had said something, Shu E still remembered the emperor's instructions and not to tell the Queen Mother about this matter.

However, what about Shang Wanyun, didn't she say it the same way? Shu E suddenly muttered, why can the third young grandmother say, but I didn't say anything, but the queen mother was angry?

Shu E was startled by her sudden words, she quickly got up from the embroidered couch, grabbed the edict and walked to the desk.

I haven't lit a fire myself for a long time, and it's become so difficult to make a fire.

Shu E didn't immediately look at the words on the edict, nor did she immediately set the edict on fire and burn it, she just hurried to the dressing table and picked up a small copper-handled mirror.

The woman's sideburns in the mirror were a little messy, and the original light makeup on her face faded a lot, but this still couldn't prevent a plump woman from being reflected in the mirror.

But Shu E only glanced at the mirror, and immediately turned the mirror upside down. Shu E sat down at the desk and whispered: I must be ugly when I look like this...... How can I ...... To blame the three young grandmothers!

There was a gentle knock on the bedroom door, and Waffle's gentle voice said, "Lady's ......"

Shu E hurriedly pulled the edict into her sleeve and let Hua Fu in.

"Do you want to eat?" Hua Fu looked at a pair of sterling silver five candlesticks lit with only one candle, under the dim candlelight, Shu E was a little distracted, her sideburns were slightly messy, so she had to ask carefully and gently.

Shu E didn't answer Hua Fu's words, but just raised her head to stop Hua Fu and said, "Sun Niangzi, I was thinking about it, why did my sister-in-law tell the Queen Mother that the third brother was not in the house." ”

Hua Fu listened to Shu E's words, smiled gently, and said: "The slave maid inquired privately, and the Queen Mother did see the third young grandmother this afternoon, and she talked for a long time. Since the Queen Mother has never seen the emperor, the matter of Brother Ling must be what Sister-in-law Ling said. There is nothing wrong with the lady thinking like this. ”

"But in my heart, I actually have some resentment." Shu E still looked at Hua Fu and said, "Hua Fu, you say that I think so, isn't it wrong?" ”

Hua Fu patted Shu E's back and said softly: "When the Queen Mother sent Mama Liuquan to summon Madame, Mama Liuquan said to me that Niangniang had already met the emperor and the third young grandmother. So-" Hua Fu lowered her head and looked at Shu E, the expression on her face became more and more gentle: "The lady thought, when the Queen Mother summoned the third young grandmother, would she also say something to her?" ”

Huafu's hands are very warm, even through the layers of clothes, Shu'e can still feel the heart-warming temperature of Huafu's palms.
