Chapter 49: A Critical Moment

Chu Xiangwan stepped back step by step, and it was precisely because the Queen Mother didn't want to be discovered for doing such an obscene thing, so she sent away the palace people in the Cihe Palace, so that she could take the opportunity to leave. "Aim", a cat meow frightened Chu Xiangwan and immediately froze his body and didn't dare to move, looking behind him, it turned out that it was too dark, Chu Xiangwan accidentally stepped on the tail of a black cat when he retreated, and the cat immediately barked sadly. This cry also alarmed the men and women in the room, and the Queen Mother immediately pushed the man away and shouted outside: "Who is it?" Mama Lee! ”

Chu Xiangwan was in a hurry and got a sticky sweat, the gauze skirt was wet and sticking to his body, the door of the queen mother's side hall had been opened, and Mama Li was walking in her direction, because there was a peach tree to cover it, and it was dark, Mama Li couldn't see if there was anyone for a while. Chu Xiangwan immediately lifted the corners of her skirt, walked around the peach forest, and ran all the way to the gate of Cihe Palace with a hard stroke.

"Who? Hold it. When Mama Li heard the movement, she saw a figure shaking, and she followed her to the gate.

Chu Xiangwan finally ran to the door, she was already sweating profusely, Zizhang stood at the door waiting for her, seeing her frightened face, he stepped forward to support her and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" Why did you sweat so much? ”

"Let's get out of here first." Chu Xiangwan didn't have time to explain more, now he had to leave Cihe Palace immediately, and when Mama Li chased him out, he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

Zizhang didn't dare to ask more, only listened to Chu Xiangwan's words and hurried back to the palace.

"Can you see anyone passing by here?" Mama Li chased to the door, but there was no trace of anyone, and pretended to ask the guards who were guarding.

"Only the imperial concubine has just come out, and now she is leaving with the maid." The guard replied with a glance. He thought that the imperial concubine was summoned by the Queen Mother, and he didn't know that Mama Li was actually playing tricks on him.

"Mama Li, what about people?" The Queen Mother also came out dressed neatly, and the little Xunzi didn't dare to stay longer, and had already returned to his residence.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the imperial concubine just left with her maid. I don't know what she sees—"

"Hey, even so, don't look for it, the imperial concubine is heavy, how can it be safe to walk alone? Besides, the mourning family still has something to ask her, you take someone to invite the imperial concubine back. The Queen Mother raised her hand and motioned for Mama Li to be silent, she pretended to be concerned, but she was actually afraid that Chu Xiangwan would find out her secret, so she asked Mama Li to take her back to Cihe Palace to make plans again.

"The slave knows." Mama Li walked away with people, and the Queen Mother was also very anxious, if this matter was spread to the emperor's ears by Chu Xiangwan, she, the Queen Mother, would be considered to be the end. Now, she must make a decision immediately and solve Chu Xiangwan.

Chu Xiangwan pulled Zizhang faster and faster, her face was pale, she looked very frightened, Zizhang was very worried about her body, and kept saying on the side, "Master, you slow down, be careful of your body."

"Imperial concubine, you are in such a hurry, the Queen Mother's words have not been finished yet." Mama Li has already led someone to kill, Chu Xiangwan is pregnant after all, and no matter how fast she is, she is not as fast as Mama Li's feet.

"This palace suddenly dares to feel unwell, and I will ask the Queen Mother for peace another day." Chu Xiangwan knew that he had been discovered by the Queen Mother, and now he could only calm himself.

"That's right, it's still some distance to go to Guanju Palace, Niangniang still goes back with the old slave, Cihe Palace summons the imperial doctor, and they come quickly." Mama Li is worthy of being an old Jianghu, she can't let Chu Xiangwan go today no matter what, otherwise the matter of the queen mother's harem will be exposed, and she will be the first to die. She continued: "Come on, why don't you help the imperial concubine back to Cihe Palace. ”

"What are you doing, hurry up and let go of the mother! You are so bold! Zizhang saw that Mama Li's subordinates were about to hold Chu Xiangwan up, and felt that the situation was very wrong, so the two sides began to pull.

"What are you doing here?" In the midst of the chaos, a woman's voice rang out from behind.

Mama Li turned around and saw Princess Zhuanghua and her concubine.

"The old slave sees the eldest princess, and the master of the horse." Princess Zhuanghua Huangfu Zhixia, is the daughter of the first emperor and the first queen, and is also the eldest daughter of Huangfu Jingwen and their generation. For her marriage, the emperor also took great pains to choose a good son-in-law, and finally married her to Ren Ziqian, the son of the current imperial prince, seven years ago. A year later, Ren Taifu returned to his hometown because of his age, and Ren Ziqian was sent to Hangzhou to be the prefect. This is six years away from Beijing.

Chu Xiangwan turned around, there was a feeling of being in a different world, she didn't expect that she would meet the deceased again at this moment. The man on the opposite side had already focused his eyes on Chu Xiangwan the moment he turned around, and when she met again after a long absence, she had not changed anything from the appearance in her heart. It's just that, in such a situation, neither of them spoke.

"This is—the imperial concubine?" Princess Zhuang Hua stared at Chu Xiangwan for a long time and asked suspiciously.

"Exactly, how does the eldest princess know?" Chu Xiangwan was also looking at Princess Zhuang Hua, and saw that she was dressed dignified and beautiful, and she really had the bearing of the eldest princess of the royal family, and other royal daughters could not be compared with her at all.

"During the banquet, the emperor has been telling the palace about the imperial concubine, and when the palace sees you, he knows that it will no longer be someone else. Plus your stomach ・・・・・・" Princess Zhuang Hua smiled slightly and stopped talking.

"The princess has good eyesight, and admires the evening."

"It's just that the emperor obviously told the palace that you are recuperating in the palace, why are you here to pull and pull with these minions?" Princess Zhuang Hua has always disliked the Queen Mother, so looking at Mama Li and these minions, she frowned.

"Back to the princess, the queen mother has something to ask the imperial concubine, so she asked the old slave to bring someone to invite, just now there was a misunderstanding. Don't delay the princess to return home, the old slave will ask the imperial concubine to return to Cihe Palace. Mama Li snatched the conversation, and after speaking, she was going to come to pull Chu Xiangwan again.

"Presumptuous, you little minion, you dare to be so rude to the imperial concubine, who gave you such courage?" Princess Zhuang Hua drank Mama Li.

Mama Li didn't dare to act rashly, Princess Zhuanghua is the eldest daughter of the first emperor, and her status is different from that of ordinary princesses, this princess has been a collection of thousands of favors since she was a child, and she can't be provoked even if she has the support of the queen mother. She cowered and whispered, "Princess, the Queen Mother is still waiting for the imperial concubine in the palace." ”

"Even so, you shouldn't bully your master with words and deeds. Okay, you and the imperial concubine will go. "Although Princess Zhuang Hua is not afraid of the Queen Mother, they have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, so she taught Mama Li a lesson, and she was ready to leave with the horse.

"Yes, the old slave knows, please forgive the imperial concubine." Mama Li pretended to bow her head and plead guilty. After Princess Zhuang Hua turned around, she motioned to the people around her with her eyes that once the princess walked away, she would immediately start to arrest people.
