The Queen Mother's scrutinizing gaze swept over Li Miaoyu's body, and after a long time, the lord of Changping County finished speaking. Li Miaoyu clasped her hands together: "It is really the blessing of the Buddha, you are safe and sound." "Yu'er, who did you hear say that Changping and Xian'er encountered poisonous snakes in the cave?" The Queen Mother quietly asked the second princess Li Miaoyu, and Concubine Xiao chuckled in her heart. Even Concubine Xiao didn't hear that the county lord of Changping and Qi Yuxian encountered poisonous snakes in the cave.

How could Li Miaoyu beside her know that Concubine Xiao's mind was very spinning. Li Miaoyu was also stunned, how could the Queen Mother ask this in a dignified manner, Li Miaoyu didn't know what to say. The Queen Mother had a straight face, and the queen and Wang Guifei and others were also human spirits, and they all understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words. Presumably, there is a mastermind behind this matter, how can there be poisonous snakes in a good palace, someone must have brought them into the palace.

The queen also looked at the second princess Li Miaoyu with some curiosity: "Second princess, this palace has not heard that the county lord of Changping and the county lord of Qingning encountered poisonous snakes in the cave, I don't know where the second princess heard about it." Isn't it Concubine Xiao Niangniang suing you? Saying that, her eyes swirled thoughtfully on Concubine Xiao's body, Concubine Xiao looked at the queen resentfully, and the queen knew that she would pull herself into the water, but the second princess was indeed Concubine Xiao's daughter-in-law.

The queen spoke, and Wang Guifei naturally couldn't be idle, "That is, Concubine Xiao, I haven't heard of the concubine in the palace, I don't know how Concubine Xiao is so powerful, and even this is clear." Saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled, and after the third prince and the fourth prince led the Imperial Forest Army to the cave to rescue Qi Yuxian and the county lord of Changping with the holy oracle, the third prince and the fourth prince did not go in to see it and directly asked the Royal Forest Army to completely block the cave. will no longer harm people, and the saint also praised the two princes for this, if it weren't for listening to the lord of Changping say that he had encountered a poisonous snake.

The saint thought that they were just trapped in the cave and couldn't get out, but now everyone's suspicious eyes swirled around Concubine Xiao's body, and the county lord of Changping also reacted. Immediately let go of Li Miaoyu's hand: "Second princess, how do you know?" But few people knew, Concubine Xiao stubbornly blamed the second princess Li Miaoyu: "Yu'er, you hurry up and tell the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, which palace maid's mouth did you hear about it!" Concubine Xiao was helping Li Miaoyu, and Li Miaoyu reacted in a timely manner: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, Yu'er just listened to what the palace maid Cuilan said, not the mother concubine who told Sù Yu'er." ”

Saying that, Li Miaoyu knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "Really? The Queen Mother snorted coldly, as if she didn't believe Li Miaoyu's words. Concubine Xiao quickly knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Yu'er will not lie to you, the concubine can guarantee it." The Queen Mother did not delve further, and soon the Queen Mother and others left the Queen Mother's bedroom. The Queen Mother looked at the county lord of Changping and Qi Yuxian calmly: "Do you think it may be the second princess?" Princess Changping's eyelids jumped, the queen mother really suspected the second princess, but how could the second princess get along in such a vicious way.

Princess Changping couldn't believe it, and the county lord of Changping shook her head: "The Queen Mother, Changping doesn't know, and I ask the Queen Mother to make it clear." "You girl, you are still playing with the mourning family, Xian'er, you come on." The Queen Mother didn't get the news from the mouth of the county lord of Changping, and asked Qi Yuxian instead. "Queen Mother, this matter is really hard to say, Xian'er doesn't know." Qi Yuxian really couldn't guess, I didn't know if it was the second princess Li Miaoyu.

If he could, the county lord of Changping didn't want to be the second princess, he just hoped it was an accident. But it's impossible, "Okay, the mourning family just asked casually, you lie down and rest, and the mourning family will go back to the dormitory first." After speaking, she glanced at Princess Changping a few times, and Princess Changping wanted to stay and talk to the county lord of Changping, so she didn't leave. Concubine Xiao, who returned to the dormitory, quickly instructed the palace people.

"You all go out of Hongu!" Concubine Xiao was very angry, and the second princess was shocked, and raised her head: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Xiao didn't hesitate to slap the second princess, and said angrily: "It's not all because of you, why don't you ask what's wrong with this palace?" Concubine Xiao's face today was lost by the second princess, and in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen and others, I thought of the embarrassment of this scene. Concubine Xiao couldn't wait to strangle the second princess in front of her, the daughters born by others were all intimate little padded jackets, very worry-free, how to get to Concubine Xiao, the second princess came to toss Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Xiao explained to the second princess more than once.

Don't mess with Qi Yuxian and the county lord of Changping, they are the guests of the Queen Mother. What did Concubine Xiao say, Li Miaoyu held her cheek with her hand: "Mother, you beat me again, what did I do wrong." Mother, mother. "You still have the face to say, who asked you to ask about poisonous snakes today?" In front of the Queen Mother and others, Concubine Xiao endured it all the time and did not have a seizure, but now there are only two people, Concubine Xiao and the second princess. Xiao Shi stared at Li Miaoyu with a straight face, and Li Miaoyu said anxiously: "Mother, I really didn't lie to you, I just listened to what Cuilan said, really." Mother, if you don't believe me, you can call Cuilan over now. ”

Concubine Xiao raised her hand: "Yu'er, do you think that the concubine will believe your words?" "Mother, why don't you even believe Yu'er's words, so doesn't the Queen Mother believe Yu'er's words either?" Li Miaoyu raised her head aggrievedly, if Concubine Xiao was reprimanding, maybe the tears in Li Miaoyu's eyes would come out. "Of course they won't believe it." Concubine Xiao was very strict and told Li Miaoyu the facts.

"Impossible, mother, you also saw it just now, the queen mother didn't continue to ask. Mother, don't be angry, I won't ask next time, mother, I won't ask, okay? Trying to pull Concubine Xiao's sleeve coquettishly, Concubine Xiao quickly shook it off: "It's too late now, the Queen Mother is already suspicious of you." From now on, you will stay in my dormitory, and you will not be able to go anywhere! Li Miaoyu drooped her little face: "Mother, don't be like this, I won't do it in the future."

Li Miaoyu still wanted to walk around, if she kept letting Li Miaoyu stay in Concubine Xiao's bedroom. Li Miaoyu is not bored to death, no. Li Miaoyu wants to try her best to fight, "Now you don't listen to what this palace says, and you still talk back to this palace, this is what Mama teaches you on weekdays." It seems that this palace is indeed negligent in disciplining you on weekdays, from now on, if you dare to follow this palace again, you will immediately copy the female commandment to this palace a hundred times! ”

can no longer relax the discipline of Li Miaoyu, and may not be able to provoke any moths for Concubine Xiao next time. Li Miaoyu lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak, Concubine Xiao was angry at the moment. Concubine Xiao asked Mama to take Li Miaoyu to the inner hall today behind closed doors to think about it, and she couldn't do anything else. Li Miaoyu hung her head and left with her grandmother leaving, Concubine Xiao was now constantly thinking in her mind, the queen mother and the queen mother and others would definitely suspect the second princess Li Miaoyu. Behind Li Miaoyu is herself, whether it is instigated by Concubine Xiao or not, as long as Li Miaoyu is involved.

Concubine Xiao and the three princes were indispensably involved, Concubine Xiao thought of this, and hated Li Miaoyu so much, this girl, if she has not achieved enough things, she will know that she will cause chaos to Concubine Xiao and the three princes. Concubine Xiao hadn't rested yet, so she heard the palace maid whispering in Concubine Xiao's ear: "Qi Concubine Xiao, the third prince asks to see her outside the palace." "The third prince is here," hurry up and let the third prince in. Concubine Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight.

The palace maid quickly left the dormitory and went to invite the third prince in. The third prince was dressed in white and strode in front of Concubine Xiao to make a gesture: "Sons and daughters see the mother concubine, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." Under the signal of Concubine Xiao, the palace maid left the dormitory and closed the door, "No need to be polite, flat body." "The face of the third prince is not very good, and he must have heard about the queen mother's bedroom. In the palace, there was no impermeable wall, and it soon reached the ears of the three princes.

"What do you want to say?" Concubine Xiao raised her head and stared at the third prince, "Mother, where is Yu'er?" "The third prince can't wait to kill Li Miaoyu, how can he set himself on fire." Don't look for Yu'er, the palace has already scolded her fiercely, and now she is in the inner hall, and she can't go anywhere. In the future, you will be in the dormitory of the main palace, you can rest assured, it will not cause you trouble! "Concubine Xiao still feels sorry for Li Miaoyu.

After all, a piece of meat fell from his body, "Mother, you should know the severity of the matter, if this time it really has something to do with Yu'er." That's a big deal, the father and the queen mother will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and they won't do it hastily. So mother, you still let Yu'er come out, I have something to ask Yu'er. "If you really have something to do with Li Miaoyu, you must quickly find a way to divert the attention of the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother.

Or blame other people, so that Li Miaoyu can spend it safely. "There is only one way in this palace, so you don't have to worry about it, hurry back to the dormitory." Rushing the three princes to leave, the three princes lowered their heads silently and did not leave for a long time. Concubine Xiao sighed softly: "This palace knows that you are angry with Yu'er, but Yu'er is your sister after all, and you may need Yu'er to help you in the future." You just listen to the words of this palace, don't worry about Yu'er, this palace will discipline Yu'er well, and will not cause you any more trouble. ”

Concubine Xiao tried her best to reassure the third prince, "Mother, it's not that Erchen doesn't believe in Mother, it's just that Erchen is really worried that if the Queen Mother and Father find out something, it won't be good." "The third prince's worry is not superfluous," Bengong knows, Bengong is ready, you can rest assured. Handing the third prince a meaningful look, the third prince decided to believe Concubine Xiao once, "Then the mother, the sons will leave first, let the mother concubine worry." ”

"It's okay, let's go back!" Concubine Xiao sent the three princes away, and quickly found her grandmother to give instructions. At night, in the queen mother's bedroom, the queen mother listened to the guard's report with a calm face, and her face became more and more gloomy. is so bold, the Queen Mother shouldn't have asked Li Miaoyu in a hurry. But I just wanted to give Concubine Xiao and Li Miaoyu a wake-up call, but I didn't expect to harm Cuiyu's life.

Li Miaoyu's words, the Queen Mother would not believe it, her eyes flickered and she didn't say anything, Concubine Xiao was eager to protect Li Miaoyu, and the Queen Mother could understand it. I don't want to make a big deal about it, after all, the Queen Mother hasn't followed the saint to get angry about it, so she has to say it in advance, so that the saint knows it. Now that they looked, they gave Concubine Xiao a chance, and the guards knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound, they had just learned that the palace maid Cuiyu of Li Miaoyu's bedroom committed suicide in fear of crime.

Before he died, he wrote a suicide note, explaining that Cuiyu was confused for a while, thinking of venting her anger for the second princess. I bought a white-lipped bamboo leaf green and a king cobra snake from outside the palace to scare Qi Yuxian and the county lord of Changping, and now that the east window incident happened, Cuiyu didn't want to involve the second princess, so she committed suicide in fear of sin. The Queen Mother took the suicide note written by Cuiyu, and her teeth itched with hatred. "Go down! The mourners know. The guards breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The Queen Mother had a straight face: "Mama, you go and ask the saint to come over." The saint also heard about it in the imperial study, and when he arrived at the queen mother's bedroom, the queen mother did not hesitate to let the saint read the jade's suicide note. Shengshang frowned: "Queen Mother, since this is already the case, then it is better to forget about this matter." "Forget it, a palace maid can casually buy poisonous snakes from outside the palace and enter the palace, then the palace has not become a joke." What can those guards at the gate of the palace do, especially if you didn't listen to Changping say, how long is the king cobra, this time it can be brought into the palace to scare Changping and Xian'er, and next time it can scare the mourning family and the saint, shouldn't it be traced to the end? ”

Listening to the words of the Queen Mother, the Holy Lord understood that this matter must be thoroughly investigated. "It's just the Queen Mother, isn't this matter very clear? Cuiyu has committed suicide in fear of sin, I don't know what the Queen Mother wants? "Holy Lord, do you really think that the mourning family is old and confused now." The Queen Mother smiled sarcastically, "The Queen Mother, I didn't mean that. The saint hurriedly explained, "Okay, the mourning family doesn't want to hear it, so you can tell the mourning family, whether you don't want to investigate this matter, just think about it here." ”

Sheng Shang sighed: "Queen Mother, since you know everything, why do you still force me." If I continue to investigate this matter, it will not benefit anyone. If it really has something to do with Concubine Xiao and Yu'er, I don't know what the Queen Mother plans to do with them? "How to deal with them, since you have the courage to do it, you should bear the consequences, otherwise, once connived, it will not bring trouble to the royal family in the future." Holy Lord, the mourning family knows that for you, you have your thoughts, your scruples, and the mourning family doesn't want to force you, so let the mourning family find out! ”

"Queen Mother, I beg you, forget about this matter, don't check it again." The saint looked at the Queen Mother helplessly, and the Queen Mother's eyes were like torches: "Did you already know about this matter, or did you instigate it behind your back?" I had to let the Queen Mother be suspicious, and the saint smiled slightly: "Queen Mother, why did you get involved with me, of course I don't know, but Yu'er is my princess, I don't want to affect Yu'er's reputation, Yu'er is not small, it's time to choose a concubine, Queen Mother, you forgive Yu'er once." I must let Concubine Xiao discipline Yu'er well, the Queen Mother. ”

The saint looked at the queen mother very seriously, and the queen mother looked at the saint for a long time, and finally relieved: "The mourning family is old now, and they can't care about the saint, and this matter will follow the saint." But the saint, you sue the mourning family, how do you let the mourning family explain to Princess Changping and Changping? "After all, the saint is his own son, and now he is begging the queen mother. The majesty of the king of a country is gone, and the queen mother can only agree hard, but it is only on the side of Princess Changping.

"I'm afraid you don't know it now, this is a letter stopped by the mourning family." The Queen Mother took out a letter written by Princess Changping to the King of Changping from her sleeve, and was intercepted by the guards of the Queen Mother's bedroom before she could send it out. The queen mother put it by her side, she didn't want to tell the saint, the saint took the letter, but she didn't expect that the princess of Changping didn't want to choose a county horse in the capital, and she wanted to leave with the lord of Changping, the saint frowned, the king of Changping has been guarding the border of the Great Liang State and the Donglin Kingdom all these years, and the saint can sit back and relax, if the county lord of Changping is not allowed to stay in the capital as a hostage.

The saint is not at ease, if the king of Changping does something to know, the saint will regret it. This time, since the princess of Changping brought the lord of Changping to the capital, she categorically couldn't let them leave. "Holy Lord, it's not the mourning family that forces you, you have to think clearly." The Queen Mother glanced at the saint meaningfully, "Please also ask the Queen Mother for advice." The saint took the initiative to look at the Queen Mother.

"The mourning family is old, and they can't help the saint much, but the county lord of Changping must stay in the capital. Now Changping's body is still very weak, and when her body is better, she hurriedly chooses a county horse for Changping. "Now it is urgent to choose a county horse for the county lord of Changping. Shengshang nodded: "Please leave this matter to the Empress Dowager, there is Empress Dowager Lao to worry about." Listening to the words of the saint, the Queen Mother waved her hand: "You are polite to the mourning family, you just need to remember, let Concubine Xiao discipline Yu'er well, don't think that everyone is a fool." ”

If the Queen Mother wants to comfort Princess Changping and the Lord of Changping, Qi Yuxian will definitely not pursue it. After all, the relationship between Qi Yuxian and the Queen Mother is so close, and the Queen Mother also understands Qi Yuxian. This girl was understanding, "Thank you Queen Mother, it's just this letter." The saint took the letter in his hand and looked at the queen mother hesitantly, "This letter is ruined, and there is no need to send it out." "If you send it out to King Changping to know, I'm afraid there will be something going on.

The saint nodded knowingly, watching the back of the saint leaving. The Queen Mother fell into deep thought, and Lianxiang cautiously muttered in Qi Yuxian's ear: "Girl, Gongzi Xie will be able to go to the capital tomorrow." Qi Yuxian was excited to get up, "Girl, don't get excited, don't get excited." "He'll be in the capital tomorrow, how do you know?" Qi Yuxian looked at Lianxiang curiously, Lianxiang had been accompanying her in the palace. Qi Yuxian hadn't heard of this news, where did Lian Xiang get this news, and was the news reliable?

"Girl, the slave maid listened to the palace maid of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and there should be no fake. It seems that tomorrow the palace will prepare a banquet for Gongzi Xie. Lianxiang told Qi Yuxian the news she heard, and Qi Yuxian nodded: "I know, have you written a letter to Mama and told Mama that I may have to stay in the palace recently." Let Mama take care of a good house. "Girl, don't worry, the slave has already sent Zilan."

Zilan was one of the maids that the old lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion gave to Qi Yuxian, "Girl, are you hungry, the slave will serve you breakfast." Qi Yuxian shook her head: "I'm not hungry now, you go down!" Qi Yuxian had to think about it and sort out her thoughts. It's really troublesome to stay in the palace for a few more days. There was no freedom at all, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw the Lord of Changping County staring at Qi Yuxian intently: "Xian'er, what you and Lianxiang were whispering just now, I also want to listen." ”

Qi Yuxian smiled and said, "Sister, do you really want to know?" "Xian'er, you just sue me, I want to know!" The coquettish tone made Qi Yuxian hold back a smile: "Okay then!" Sister, this is something you want to know, then I'll sue you, in fact, it's not a whisper, it's just like hearing that the king cobra in the cave came back from the dead, and now it's actually crawling out of the hole. Sister! ”

Looking at the county lord of Changping with a smile, the county lord of Changping suddenly pulled the quilt with his hand and covered his head: "Xian'er, don't scare me, isn't it already dead?" How can it come back from the dead, Xian'er, what if it can smell us and find here? The county lord of Changping thought wildly, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. (To be continued.) )
