After Xiao Lizi sent Chang Gui and them to Zhengyang Palace, she hurried back, and the queen leaned on the table, and waved her hand to tell him to go down after listening to Xiao Lizi's reply. Waiting for Xiao Lizi to close the door, the queen slowly opened her eyes and asked Chang Gui next to her,

"Chang Gui, is that woman here too? The woman who gave birth to the emperor? ”

"I heard Xiao Lizi say that this is the case, didn't he say that he was seriously injured?"

"Hmm."

After asking this, the queen closed her eyes again and began her own meditation.

"Niangniang, the little one is here with you tonight."

"No need, go back to Zhengyang Palace and have a good rest."

Chang Gui didn't speak, and when the queen opened her eyes, she saw Chang Gui's embarrassed expression.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Gui still didn't speak, and the queen seemed to have suddenly figured out something.

"Are you, worried about that Gong Zhu?"

The queen secretly blamed herself in her heart for thinking only about other things and forgetting about this stubble. If Chang Gui went to Zhengyang Palace now, they didn't know how embarrassed they would be when they saw the Gong Zhu who had betrayed them at the beginning. When the queen just wanted to say that Chang Gui should stay here, Chang Gui smiled and said,

"No, the slave has nothing to worry about, compared to the suffering of the queen's mother, the slave has nothing to say. The minions will go over and see the people for themselves in a moment, and they must serve them well. Rest well, then, because you have so many things to do tomorrow. The minions retired first. ”

Chang Gui retired after saying this, and the queen kept watching Chang Gui close the door. After she felt that Chang Gui had gone away, she called the little plum outside in.

"What do you command?"

"Go, Lotus, call here."

At this time, Lotus had been locked up by the queen in a miscellaneous room next to the kitchenette in the backyard. Seeing Lotus squatting at the door of Zhengyang Palace and crying that day, the queen poured all her anger on her, not only saying that she would be punished for her crime on the grounds of poor care. Later, Chang Gui brought up the matter of the lotus, although the queen didn't say it, she was still very angry in her heart, so she asked Xiao Lizi to lock the lotus in the backyard.

Xiao Lizi listened to the queen's words and did not tell Chang Gui about this matter. At this time, Xiao Lizi went to the backyard, because he didn't know what the queen was thinking, so he didn't clearly express his attitude, but just brought the lotus flower to the queen like an ordinary person.

"The Queen."

The queen stroked her forehead and leaned against the table, her eyes closed but open-minded. From the time I called Lotus to come over to now, I have already calculated everything in my heart. The queen slowly opened her eyes, and carefully looked at the little girl in front of her.

"Lotus, if you do something according to the words of this palace, this palace can spare you and spare Chang Gui."

Lotus is still young, even if she knows the trust of Chang Guishen's queen, she doesn't know what kind of feelings this is. Chang Gui doesn't tell her, and she never listens to other people. That day, the queen threatened her like that, she really felt that the queen wanted to cure Chang Gui's sin. Therefore, when the queen said that she would spare her, she did not feel anything. But as soon as the queen said that she would spare Chang Gui, she immediately became excited.

"Niangniang, if there is anything to do, just tell the slave maid, as long as you can bypass Chang Gui's father-in-law, you can ask the slave and maid to do anything."

The queen looked at the girl in front of her who had been kowtowing and smiled reassuringly.

After Chang Gui arrived at Zhengyang Palace, he pretended to linger outside the palace bamboo room for a while, and then dismissed everyone around him as if he had made a big decision before knocking on the door and entering.

As soon as he entered, Chang Gui knelt down for Gong Zhu,

"Godfather."

Gong Zhu hurriedly got up from the side of the bed and went over to help Chang Gui up,

"Chang Gui, what are you doing. Hurry up. ”

"Godfather, Chang Gui knows all the hardships you have suffered along the way. It's all my fault that I didn't think it through, and the godfather and the little prince who were only talented suffered. ”

Chang Gui knelt on the ground, and Gong Zhu couldn't help him up, so he called Beiqi to come over and help Chang Gui up.

"Come over from Northern Qi, quickly tell your Uncle Changgui to get up."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

As soon as Gong Zhu said this, Chang Gui hurriedly got up. He also took Gong Zhu's hand and said,

"Godfather, now the identity of the little prince is known to the whole world, and he is about to inherit the throne. You can't call this title indiscriminately, it's okay to continue to call your grandfather, but I forget it, how can I have such an honor, besides, I still have to serve by the queen's side. ”

When Chang Gui said this, Gong Zhu suddenly understood. Again and again sent their own heads,

"Look at my brain, Beiqi, remember, in the palace, do you have to know like you don't know Uncle Changgui?"

Beiqi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, nodded. When Chang Gui looked at Beiqi, he saw the seven girls lying on the bed and the flower faces standing next to them, and saw that both of them had bandaging marks, and the special seven girls seemed to be a little more like Yan zhòng. He turned his gaze back, looked at Gong Zhu and said,

"Godfather, I can't stay here for too long, I can only make a long story short. Our plan was very successful, and after telling the truth to the queen, the queen had completely collapsed. Now that General Yanlan has been locked up in the prison, the queen will definitely not let him go. Lord Shoufu Yanlan is also sick, and I heard that she can't speak well now, and she is paralyzed. In order to atone for her sins, the queen wanted to put the little prince on the throne. The last words left by the emperor when he passed away also made the queen firm in her determination. In short, the queen is really trying to put the little prince on the throne. ”

In order to save time, he was also afraid that Gong Zhu would be excited, so Chang Gui temporarily concealed the cause of the emperor's death, thinking that he would talk about it later. Gong Zhu held Chang Gui's hand tightly and nodded,

"Yes, yes. If the two people of the Yanlan family are gone, all the power will fall to the queen's side, plus the little prince is justified, there is nothing unreasonable, and no one will come out to say anything. ”

Chang Gui looked at Gong Zhu's happy appearance and nodded again and again.

"Then I'll go out first, I'll go and hand over a doctor to take a good look at everyone, and then ask someone to bring some food."

"Okay, you can go quickly."

Chang Gui saluted to the north and exited the door. Gong Zhu returned to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at Beiqi, and touched his head.

"Northern Qi, you see, everything is getting better. As long as you ascend to the throne, everything will be fine. ”

"Grandpa, Queen, are you going to kill the people who want to harm us? What about Yanlan's family? ”

Gong Zhu's expression suddenly became fierce,

"That's right, didn't you already hear about the cruelty of the Empress of Northern Qi. It was that demon woman who made the Northern Qi Kingdom what it is now. The queen killed all the selfishness of the emperor, and the people of the Yanlan family tried to ascend the throne themselves. Northern Qi, you have to remember that even though we need the power of the Empress to ascend to the throne now, the Empress will always be your enemy, and you must always be vigilant. ”

"Hmm."

Beiqi nodded vigorously, turned his head to look at the sick and sick seven girls, and blamed all the resentment on the queen.

After a while, someone knocked on the door outside, and Gong Zhu went over to open the door only to find that it was a lotus flower.

"Oh? Is it a lotus? Come on in. ”

Lotus was still holding a food plate in her hand, and when she came in, she was very unstable and almost tripped over, and was helped by Gong Zhu. Gong Zhu found that Lotus's face was very bad.

"Lotus, what's wrong with you, you look very bad."

Lotus hurriedly shook her head,

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, it's that there are too many things in Zhengyang Palace these days. So, so the face looks a little bad. ”

Looking at the lotus flower, she always felt that something was wrong.

"Then you should go and have a good rest, what are you doing here?"

Gong Zhu felt that the child Lotus was kind-hearted before, and he wanted to work hard to follow Chang Gui in the past few days, and he was still a little distressed when he looked at Lotus.

"Yes, it was Chang Gui's father-in-law who asked me to bring some porridge. I'll give you all some. ”

As she spoke, Lotus put the food plate on the table, opened the lid of the pot, and made porridge bowl by bowl.

"Porridge, it's a little hot, wait for it to cool down for a while, and then give it to the little prince to eat." I, I'm going to feed the Seven Girls. ”

Saying that, Lianhu picked up the bowl and went to the bedside, and the flower face stood still and looked at the lotus. Northern Qi smiled at Lotus Blossom and flashed to the side, making room for Lotus. Gong Zhu picked up a bowl of porridge and kept stirring it with a small spoon to make the porridge cold.

Lotus helped the Seven Girls up, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to the Seven Girl's mouths as if she had made a great determination, spoonful after spoonful. Flower face finally sensed that something was wrong,

"Stop."

But by this time it was too late, and Lotus put a sufficient amount of arsenic in the porridge. Flower Face stepped forward and pushed the lotus flower to the ground, straightening the seventh girl and patting her back constantly. It was too late, and the Seventh Girl was already frowning and began to foam at the mouth.

The spoon that Gong Zhu originally put to his mouth fell to the ground because of the scolding of the flower face.

"Mother! Mother! What's wrong with you, mother! Wake up! ”

Gong Zhu hurriedly ran to the side of the bed to pull Beiqi away from the bedside. Beiqi was frightened by the appearance of his mother, and when he thought of the Chunfu mother-in-law who had left, the feeling of panic crept into his heart again.

"Lotus, you, you actually."

Lianhua looked at the seven girls on the bed and kept crying, no matter what Gong Zhu said to her, she just kept shaking her head and crying.

Just at this time, there was another sound outside the door.

"The medical officer of Xiaguan Tai Hospital, Chang Guigong asked Xiaguan to come and see the little prince."

Unfortunately, the room was in chaos on one side, and no one heard the sound outside. However, the voices inside the room were really heard outside, and the little Imperial Doctor Meng who Chang Gui sent someone to call was thinking about whether to break in at this time. Dr. Meng's father, who is the current head of the hospital, once said that life is an opportunity. At this time, Dr. Meng decided to seize the opportunity.

Without thinking about it further, Doctor Meng broke in with the medicine box.

If it were normal, Flower Face would definitely kick people out. But now Huayan is holding the seventh girl, and she doesn't know what to do, so she has no time to take care of anything else.

As soon as Doctor Meng came in, he rushed to the bedside. snatched the seven girls from the arms of the flower face, and the flower face made a gesture to hit him,

"I'm the doctor of the Tai Hospital, let her go quickly."

Hua Mian let go of his hand when he saw the other party's stern and urgent look, and Gong Zhu also pulled the depressed Hua Face to his side, and the three of them watched Xiao Meng Taiyi take the pulse, check, and apply needles to the seventh girl.

After a long time, it was so long that the eyes of the seven girls could not be opened, so long that the flower face had regained its consciousness and helped Gong Zhu pull Beiqi, so long that the lotus no longer cried and stood up and slowly walked to the table, so long that there was already too much supervision to feel that something was wrong here to report to Chang Gui, and for a long time to the cry of Beiqi, the initial panic had turned into despair, and it was so long that everyone could see that the seven girls were no longer cured...... Doctor Meng is still treating the seven girls and constantly administering needles.

Chang Gui came in in a hurry, and was surprised to see the scene in front of him.

Lotus heard the movement behind her, raised her head and drank the porridge that had been dried overnight. turned around, looked at Chang Gui, and said the words that the queen taught her,

"Father-in-law, what should I do, I failed, Lord Yanlan will definitely not bypass me."

Chang Guimu looked at the lotus,

"Lotus, Lotus, what are you talking about?"

Lotus is crying sincerely, she feels that her heart hurts so much,

"Father-in-law Chang, you are a good person, I wanted to follow you. However, Lord Yanlan will not let me go, and I finally chose to stand on Lord Yanlan's side, but, but I have failed, what should I do. What to do. ”

Lotus felt the pain, and her internal organs were like those who had been pulled hard by life. In the end, Hua Dou's indescribable lotus fell in front of Chang Gui. Chang Gui looked at the man who fell to the ground,

"Lotus."
