And not long before the palace sent someone to Murong Mansion to upload the news, in Liu's mansion, that is, the queen's mother's house, the queen's mother Sun and Liu Ba left home angrily after a big quarrel, and Liu Ba also showed signs of a slight stroke, and the doctor is currently treating it.

At the same time, the eldest prince who had been talking with his grandfather Sun He for nearly a day returned to his house calmly, and this matter was a good thing for the eldest prince, although he could not ascend to the throne again, but it was a great thing for him to have the possibility of entering the center of imperial power again.

As soon as this holy decree is made, there have been several vicissitudes of life outside the palace, and the palace is also full of people's hearts, especially Qi You, there are some things he still has to face in person, and he can't hide from it.

It was close to evening, and Qi You finally mustered up the courage to go to Xibao to explain, but just then he was about to leave the palace gate, but the palace people at the door came to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." ”

"What!" Qi You said a little strangely: "Didn't you say that you are sick, unwell, and are recuperating from your illness?" ”

Gonggong Xue on the side was also a little stunned, and then asked, "How did the Queen Mother come?" ”

The palace man who replied: "I sat on the royal court, and I came down when I got to the entrance of the cloister, and then I was supported by two palace maids." ”

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Queen Mother is bound to want to see you on this trip!" Xue Gonggong said helplessly after hearing this.

"Hey...... I thought she could endure it until the end, but I didn't expect it to be able to sit still! Qi You held his hands a little stunned.

"Then the emperor, do you see it or not?" Xue Gonggong asked.

"What time is it?" Qi You asked with his head sideways.

Xue Gonggong replied: "Back to the emperor, the three o'clock has just passed." ”

"Hey...... I'm afraid I won't see the clouds again tonight. Okay, let's invite the Queen Mother in, this matter is still handled well, I don't want to procrastinate. Qi You glanced at the sky and said helplessly.

"Yes, then the old slave go and invite the Queen Mother in." Xue Gonggong asked.

Qi You nodded and said, "Go ahead, sooner or later there will be such a thing." Qi You turned around and sat down on the soft couch beside him.

Father-in-law Xue had to go to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Hall with some reluctance, and happened to meet the Queen Mother, Father-in-law Xue asked An unhurriedly: "The old slave has seen the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother leaned back slightly, squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the person saluting in front of her, and then said in a trance: "It's Gonggong Xue." It's been a long time. ”

Father-in-law Xue also smiled: "The Queen Mother is dedicated to Buddha." Living in a simple place, the old slave didn't dare to bother much. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You don't want to go." ”

Father-in-law Xue still looked polite and said, "The Queen Mother can't make this joke." ”

The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, looked more carefully at the old man in front of her, and had an illusion in her heart as if she was in a different world. She remembers. More than ten years ago. It was also this hour, and it was also this place, and it was the same Gonggong Xue who was guarding the door of the palace to greet her. And she really begged different emperors for the same person, this thing is so wonderfully intertwined and overlapped in time and space in various coincidences, at this moment, the queen mother seemed to see what the first emperor looked like when he was alive.

The Queen Mother looked at Xue Gonggong and was a little distracted, the nostalgia in her eyes made Xue Gonggong a little puzzled, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the Queen Mother in front of him, the white but unmessed bun, the vicissitudes of life left by the years, or the pair of cold eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Xue Gonggong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The first emperor! Today's Queen Mother is really as you always said, I'm afraid it's better to live than to die.

These two old men of the previous dynasty, the old people looked at each other a little embarrassed at the moment, until the Queen Mother's side Qi Mama reminded her: "The Queen Mother, the emperor can wait for you inside." ”

The Queen Mother and Father-in-law Xue both came back to their senses, the Queen Mother's face was a little embarrassed, but Father-in-law Xue smiled slightly and said respectfully: "The Queen Mother, please follow the old slave's side." ”

A respectful word brushed aside the embarrassment just now, and the Queen Mother followed Xue Gonggong into the Heart Cultivation Hall with the support of Mama Liu.

Qi You had been waiting in it for a long time, as soon as the door of the palace opened, Qi You looked sideways, Xue Gongcheng led the Queen Mother towards him, Qi You frowned slightly, and the hand on the table was unconsciously clenched, from the Queen Mother entering the hall to coming to him, Qi You never got up to greet him, but sat there all the time, his eyes looked at the person in front of him for a moment.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother stood firm in front of him that Mama Qi asked Qi You for peace in a loud voice, and Qi You showed a slight intriguing smile and said, "Isn't the Queen Mother unwell and sick in bed?" What are you doing here today? ”

The Queen Mother was still standing not far from her feet, Qi You didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, it seemed that he had forgotten about giving the Queen Mother a seat, and just raised his head slightly and asked the question.

Gonggong Xue had silently returned to Qi You's side, but he didn't make a sound to remind him, and Mama Qi, who was supporting the Queen Mother, was a little worried and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is indeed in poor health, and the Imperial Doctor also instructed her to recuperate, so she must not stand for a long time, so ......"

"Bold minion, I have asked you when I talk to the Queen Mother, what are you interfering!" Qi You was so angry that without warning, it made the Queen Mother a little surprised.

Seeing that she hadn't finished speaking, Mama Qi immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The old slave deserves to die, it's the old slave who talks a lot, it's the old slave who offended, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness!" ”

"Mama Qi, you are an old man who followed the Queen Mother, I remember that when I was a child, you were with the Queen Mother who was still the queen at that time, you are an old man in the palace, why is this rule not as good as the new slaves in the palace!" Qi You seemed to have something to say.

"The old slave is guilty, it's the old slave who has no rules, it's the old slave who talks too much!" Mama Qi was already sweating a little at the moment.

Qi You hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "You are so unruly in front of me, no big or small, then in the Queen Mother, a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and is dedicated to goodness, wouldn't you be even more lawless and unruly!" ”

Qi You held on to this little thing like this, and was stunned to say that this matter was a big sin committed by the following and had no master, which really frightened Mama Qi who was kneeling on the ground.

Mama Qi begged for mercy again and again: "No, no, the emperor is not like this, it is the old slave who said the wrong thing at most today, the rules of the old slave on weekdays are really very good, really, really, the emperor, please forgive the emperor!" ”

Mama Qi kowtowed and begged for mercy, and glanced at the Queen Mother beside her from time to time, as if she was begging her for help.

The Queen Mother had a bad face and was flustered and short of breath, but this time she entered the palace gate, before she could speak, the old man Qi Mama next to her was so dismounted by the emperor, and the Queen Mother's heart suddenly chuckled again, she slightly lowered her head and glanced at Qi Mama who was still kowtowing, and then sighed and said: "Your Majesty, although Mama Qi is open-mouthed, she has broken the rules and annoyed you, but for the sake of her serving the palace for many years, please spare her this time." ”

The Queen Mother's words were not light or heavy, Qi You raised his eyebrows and said: "The Queen Mother, you have been eating fasting and chanting Buddha all these years, I am afraid that it is the heart of the Buddha, but these evil slaves are relying on the kindness of the master, so they are pretending to be powerful and reckless, I hate such a slave the most, the Queen Mother, don't plead for her." Qi You didn't seem to have paid attention to the Queen Mother's dispensable plea at all.

"Come on, take these disobedient slaves down directly and deal with them according to the palace rules!" Qi You didn't give the Queen Mother any time to react, so he directly raised his voice and ordered.

Mama Qi knelt on the ground and was completely scared, she knew that the palace rules could be big or small, and now listening to the emperor's words was naturally not good, so she was frightened and clinged to the queen mother's leg and begged for mercy: "The queen mother, the queen mother, what kind of person the old slave is, don't you know, ask the queen mother to intercede with the emperor for the old slave!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Mama Qi with a frightened face, and then at Qi You with a thin and angry face, she seemed to be speculating about something in her heart, she still felt a little sorry for this old slave who had been with her for decades, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still spoke: "Your Majesty!" She is the most powerful grandmother around the palace, she has always had excellent rules, and today there is indeed a mistake first, but it will not be pulled down and directly dealt with by the palace rules, please ask the emperor to sell me a thin noodle, and when I return to the palace, I will definitely deal with it in person, and please ask the emperor to be extra gracious! ”

"Queen Mother! Isn't he just a minion, or a wicked slave who doesn't respect the imperial power, and is worthy of your protection? Qi You seemed to have something to say.

The Queen Mother was stunned and said: "She is a slave, but she is also a person who has accompanied me for decades, in my heart she is no different from her relatives, I know that the emperor is uncomfortable, but I still beg the emperor to open up." After that, the Queen Mother bowed down and expressed her sincerity.

Qi You snorted coldly: "A slave is worthy of such an identity as the Queen Mother, is this because you are benevolent and kind, or is she extremely important to you?" ”

"Your Majesty! What do you mean? The Queen Mother seemed to hear the unkindness in these words.

"Since she is an old man who accompanies the Queen Mother, she must know what the Queen Mother did before, right, Mama Qi?" Qi You asked coldly.

Mama Qi was a little frightened, and shook her head back again and again, as if to express that she didn't know anything.

Qi You slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Interesting, really interesting, it turns out that wicked people like Mama Qi are also afraid!" ”

Mama Qi was really shocked at the moment, she really didn't expect it, but she was accompanying the queen mother to see the emperor, the queen mother was all ordinary, but she became the target of the emperor's attack, she couldn't understand why she would become the protagonist of this unwarranted disaster, frightened, she was full of panic, and she really couldn't say anything.

Qi You finally withdrew his angry eyes at Mama Qi, and said with a slight smile: "Queen Mother, I will give you this face today, Mama Qi can deal with it without pulling it down, but I don't want to see her again, Grandpa Xue asked someone to drag her out, far away, don't let me see it again!" ”

"Yes!" Father-in-law Xue was still a little puzzled at first about Qi You's sudden troubles for Mama Qi, but later when he thought of that dusty incident, Father-in-law Xue seemed to understand something, and he just had an expressionless face beside Qi You, not speaking or speaking, just watching the play.
