Qi Yan also remembered this incident until yesterday when he heard King Yong say that Shu Jin felt that there was a difference between these two "treasure trees".

According to King Yong, the corn not only tastes good, but also has a large yield, and it is a rare crop that does not pick the land. Now, I can't imagine that she still recognizes these two, "pepper" and "tomato", and she not only knows them, but also uses them to cook. Combined with the fact that she was named an imperial merchant because of the rock candy she made, at this moment, in Qi Yan's opinion, this Xiangtang County Lord is simply a genius in cooking.

It's as if she only needs a thought, she has fresh food, as long as she wants, anything can be turned into delicious food by her!

At lunch, the emperor, King Yong, and Qi Lian all ate comfortably, so the emperor rewarded Shu Jin with a lot of valuable things. After Shu Jin thanked him, he retired from King Yong.

Qi Lian saw that Shu Jin was leaving, and he wanted to say something and stopped, but Yong Lao saw it, so he excused himself to go back to the house to rest and took a step first. And Shu Jin followed Qi Lian to the Yunxi Hall where the queen was.

"Lord Xiangtang, my queen mother wants to see you, I told her about you saving me last time, so she always wants to thank you in person. It's a pity that I didn't know your identity before, and I couldn't recruit you into the palace, until yesterday, I didn't know that you were the lord of Xiangtang. Yesterday my queen mother saw you, and she has been full of praise for you, and today I heard that you have come to the palace, so I must invite you to sit in the palace. ”

Qi Lian explained to Shu Jin, and then said, "Lord Xiangtang, don't worry, the queen mother is very kind, she just wants to thank me in person because she is grateful to you for saving me, and she won't embarrass you." ”

"The eldest prince is welcome. I just happened to pass by that day to save you, and I didn't need to thank you for taking advantage of the situation. The queen doesn't have to bother. Shu Jin and Qi Lian were polite.

While the two were talking, they saw that the queen's personal female official Hou was outside the Qinzheng Palace, and the two were led by the female official to the queen's Yunxi Palace.

Shu Jin doesn't have much research on antiques, but the furnishings in the queen's bedroom reveal a solemnity and atmosphere, and the Bogu shelves are all simple and heavy treasures. The curtains in the Queen's Palace are all in positive colors, red, yellow and so on. When you see the Queen. She was wearing a bright red wide-sleeved gown, with a chest-length embroidered gold-rimmed undershirt and a red pleated skirt underneath. With a golden knee cover, he sat on the phoenix couch for daily rest.

Seeing Shu Jinlai, she smiled softly and got up calmly. spoke first and exempted Shu Jin's courtesy. Then he instructed the palace maid to go to Zhang Luo for some snacks, and let Shu Jin sit down and chat.

The queen's facial features are soft, Qi Lian's appearance is from her, at this moment, she looked at Shu Jin, her eyes were full of soft gratitude, first asked Shu Jin about the past, and then asked her if she was used to it. Where did they go, and so on. When the palace ladies brought all the snacks and prepared drinks. After the queen opened her mouth and dismissed everyone, she turned pale and looked at Shu Jinzhengse and said:

"Lord Xiangtang, I wonder if you can tell me in detail about what happened to you that day when you met Lian'er?"

Shu Jin blinked, nodded in agreement, and then explained in detail what he saw Qi Lian hanging on a tree from the Imperial Garden, and then he met Qi Lian and was almost bitten by a mad dog.

When the queen heard this, she pondered for a moment, sighed, and when she looked at Shu Jin, although her face was still soft, she was full of worry.

"Lord Xiangtang, this palace sincerely wants to thank you. If it weren't for you, even if Lian'er didn't die, I'm afraid she would be crippled. If he falls from a tree or is bitten by a mad dog, he will definitely hurt his dignity, and in the future, if he wants to go to the next level, I am afraid that he will be rejected by countless people on the grounds of hurting his dignity.

You appeared in time, otherwise, if the emperor has three long and two short, the palace doesn't know what to do. ”

When Shu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but wonder what the queen meant, did she really thank her, or did she suspect that her appearance was too coincidental, so she was suspicious?

"County Lord, that day, someone from the palace led you to a remote courtyard, and you were afraid of causing trouble, so you didn't go in, and you only met the emperor later, right?"

"Returning to the queen, it is true."

"County Lord, you also reminded Lian'er that day that you wanted to watch those rough palace people, but what did you notice?"

Shu Jin raised his eyes to look at the queen, and then lowered his eyes and said:

"I just think that it's a bit too coincidental that the eldest prince was in danger twice, and those palace people have strange expressions, so I think we should be careful, so I have a few more words. In fact, it is just my speculation, not necessarily accurate. ”

When the queen heard this, she shook her head and said:

"No, are you speculating, this palace knows. Those rough palace people were interrogated later, although they did not confess anything, but this just shows that there is a problem.

Those guards have also interrogated and found some things, and I am sure that someone really wants to harm my Lian'er. And ......"

The queen said, looked at Shu Jin, and said:

"Lord Xiangtang, if my expectations are good, you didn't enter that side hall, so you disrupted the other party's movements, so they will have the later mad dog trick. Although I don't know exactly what they are going to do, I think that if something happens to you that day, the blame can be blamed on you.

Just imagine, an imperial merchant who was supposed to be waiting in the palace to thank the emperor for his grace appeared in another place in the palace not far from the imperial garden for no reason, and it was at this time that something happened to the prince. Then this imperial merchant is definitely the best choice to assassinate the prince. Do you think what Hongu said is right? ”

Hearing this, Shu Jin nodded. Actually, she had thought about this before. I'm afraid that the palace man led him to the side hall just to make himself a substitute for the dead ghost, but it didn't succeed.

"It seems that not only do some people want to deal with Lian'er, but there are also people who want to deal with you, the county lord of Xiangtang. You say, should such people find a way to find them out?

If they don't succeed in one blow, and now you are the lord of Xiangtang County, and you are a figure that King Yong also regards as his own granddaughter, I am afraid that the person behind the scenes is either trying to cover it up at the moment, or is thinking of designing more vicious tricks to deal with you. ”

"So, Queen Mother, what do you mean?"

When the queen heard her ask, her smile became a little kinder. She took a piece of pastry with her own hands and said, "The kidney bean cake in this palace tastes very good, the county lord tastes it." ”

Hearing this, Shu Jin glanced at the kidney bean cake, and then at the queen's delicately maintained fingers coated with dancome, paused, raised his hand to take the pastry, and thanked him.

When the queen saw Shu Jin take it, she nodded with satisfaction and said:

"County Lord, why don't we cooperate and lure out the person behind you." (To be continued......)
