Only then did Su Shi get anxious.

Hurriedly ordered: "Quick, go to the yamen to find the master and ask him what happened." ”

"Yes." The messenger lifted his leg and left.

Then someone from the porter came to report, saying that someone from the palace had come and wanted to see the lady and the second young lady.

Su Shi glanced at Shen Qingli and said in a deep voice, "Please." ”

There are people in the palace, why do you want to see Erlang's daughter-in-law?

Shen Qingli was also suspicious in his heart.

At this time, what are people in the palace doing?

And I want to see her by name!

"Madam, Second Young Madame." The old eunuch Li beside the Queen Mother arched his hand to the two of them as usual, and said, "Mrs. Fushang suddenly felt unwell in the palace yesterday, so the Queen Mother left her to rest in Cining Palace for one night, originally thinking of sending Mrs. Tai back to the house today, but Mrs. Tai's condition is not reduced today, but it is more serious, so the Queen Mother sent the old slave to come over to tell the house, temporarily leave Mrs. Tai in the palace for two days, because she is worried that Mrs. Tai is homesick, the Queen Mother specially summoned the second young lady into the palace to serve the sick. ”

"There's Father-in-law Lao Li." Su smiled and glanced at Mama Xu.

Mama Xu understood, and hurriedly took the silver ticket and stuffed it into Gonggong Li's hand: "My wife invited my father-in-law to drink tea." ”

Gonggong Li excused himself for a while, and then put it away, with a smile on his face: "Second young lady, please!" ”

"Erlang's daughter-in-law, since the Queen Mother summoned you to serve the sick, you can go!" Su Shi took her hand and said, "Mrs. Tai has always liked you, and if you go to serve the sick, your father and I will be relieved." ”

Shen Qingli nodded and said, "Please wait a while, Gonggong Li, I'll go back to the house and pack a few clothes." "I won't be able to come back for a day!

"The old slave is waiting for the second young lady."

"Young lady, do you really want to enter the palace?" On the way, Mama Chu reminded, "When I left last night, Mrs. Tai was fine, why did she suddenly fall ill as soon as she arrived in the palace?" The slave felt that there must be something hidden in this. ”

"Even if there is a hidden secret, I have to go to the palace to see what my grandmother is, and besides, the Queen Mother has specially called, I can't help but go." Shen Qingli was naturally skeptical about this matter, but this was the will of the Queen Mother, and she couldn't resist it.

"The slave will go back and pack some clothes for Mrs. Tai." Mama Chu reluctantly returned to Muying Hall.

Taozhi quickly packed up the burden for Shen Qingli, and said worriedly: "The second young lady entered the palace alone, how can we rest assured." ”

"I'm with my grandmother, you don't have to worry." Shen Qingli calmly took the burden.

Bi Tao hurriedly walked in and said, "Young lady, last night Grandpa Guo hurriedly went to the delicious house, and after he came back, he went out with Xia Shizi, and he hasn't come back yet, I heard that they went to the Beijing Defense Yamen." ”

Delicious Residence!

Didn't Mu An say last night that he went to Meiweiju to drink?

He called Mu An over and asked, "Mu An, think about it, last night you were in Meiweiju, except for Yu Mutou, did you meet Grandpa Guo?" ”

Mu An shook his head blankly: "The villain was drunk at the time, I really don't remember." ”

Shen Qingli had no choice but to let him retreat, and said to Bi Tao: "Bi Tao, you bring me a dagger." "She has to be careful.

When you're out and about, you have to bring a weapon for self-defense.

"Young lady, how could you bring these things into the palace?" Bi Tao frowned, hesitated for a moment, then took off an inconspicuous pearl hairpin ring from his head, and said, "Otherwise, you bring this pearl hairpin ring, the end of this hairpin ring is simmered with poison, and it pierces people's bodies, which can make people unconscious immediately, which is better than a dagger." ”

"That's good." Shen Qingli's eyes lit up, he hurriedly took it, looked at the mirror, carefully inserted it into his sideburns, and asked, "If any of you have such jewelry that can defend yourself, take it out, and I will take it with you." ”

Bi Tao was speechless.

Young lady, you are entering the palace to serve the sick, and you are not going to assassinate anyone......

Ah Hua panted and walked in and said: "Young lady, the slave maid ran around the Yongding Marquis Mansion several times, and did not find any suspicious people, but found Yu Mu urinating at the root of the back door wall, the slave and maid saw it and beat him, he couldn't beat me, so he ran away, and then I picked this up." As he spoke, his fat hand spread out in front of Shen Qingli, and a small bamboo flute appeared on his palm.

All:......

Ah Hua, the point is not that you beat people up, but that people are peeing......

This bamboo flute has the length of a small thumb, and the workmanship is very fine.

Bi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to look: "It's the first time I've seen such a small flute." ”

"Young lady, are you ready?" Mama Chu lifted the curtain and walked in, holding a burden in her hand.

Mama Xu also looked at the door.

"Let's go!" Shen Qingli casually stuffed the bamboo flute into Bi Tao, and said in a low voice, "This bamboo flute is handed over to you, this Yu Mu is acting strangely, Mu An is afraid that he will be fooled, these days, you must keep an eye on him to see who is the mastermind of him." ”

Bi Tao hurriedly and carefully put it away.

"Also, when Ah Qi comes back, you tell her that if I don't come back at night, let her find a way to enter the palace to find me." With Ah Qi's kung fu, if you go to the palace late at night, I'm afraid there is no problem.

"Young lady, it's time to go." Mama Xu stepped forward to take over Shen Qingli's burden, and urged with a smile, "Gonggong Li is an urgent person, and he has already been urged." ”

The carriage jolted all the way towards the palace.

Along the way, there was nothing unusual, the people on the streets were still bustling around, and there were no officers and soldiers.

Shen Qingli breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

When she arrived at the palace, she got out of the car, changed into a soft sedan chair, and Gonggong Li led her into Cining Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, Shen Qingli got off the sedan chair.

I saw a pool of lotus flowers blooming, with green leaves and red calyxes, slowly stretching in the breeze.

The scent of flowers strikes.

The palace maids dressed in various palace costumes shuttled back and forth, and when they saw the two of them, they all bowed on their knees.

Gonggong Li led Shen Qingli around the lotus pond, through the winding corridor, and then on a curved arch bridge, under the arch bridge, it is another corridor, the difference is that this corridor is full of strings of purple flowers, hanging down through the wooden grid above, and the ground is soft.

Shen Qingli asked in surprise, "Gonggong Li, why do I feel that I am getting more and more remote?" ”

"Second young lady, it's been hot recently, and the Queen Mother doesn't sleep much in the main hall, but moves to this Qingliang Pavilion, isn't it a little biased!" Gonggong Li smiled disapprovingly.

When you get out of the corridor, you will see a lush bamboo forest, and you will see rows of tall and delicate wings on the edge of the bamboo forest.

Shen Qingli secretly complained.

Why is it so detouring, she will get lost.

Gonggong Li led her into one of the side rooms, and said with a smile: "Second Young Lady, you can rest here for a while, and then invite the Second Young Lady to meet the Queen Mother." With that, he turned and walked out.

"There is Father-in-law Lao." Shen Qingli said busily.

Immediately, a woman in a green palace dress walked in with tea and snacks, put it in front of her, and said with a light smile: "Young lady, please use it." ”

"Thank you." Shen Qingli smiled faintly and gently pushed it aside, where was she still in the mood to eat.

The green-clothed palace maid put down the refreshments and retreated.

Shen Qingli waited patiently in the house, waited for more than half an hour, and didn't see Gonggong Li coming, so he got up and walked out, and the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young lady, the lady of the house is sleeping, the queen mother will not let you disturb, when the lady wakes up, she will pass the young lady over." ”

"Mrs. Tai is asleep, it's okay for me to go over, please take me over to see Mrs. Tai!" Shen Qingli felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Young lady, wait a minute, the slave will go over and have a look." The green-clothed palace maid smiled, turned around and walked out.

Then, Shen Qingli heard a click, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly ran over to see, it was broken, and the door was locked.

Angry, Shen Qingli raised his foot and kicked the door: "Let me out." ”

Quietly outside, naturally there was no response.

Shen Qingli kicked and beat for a while, but had to retreat, walking back and forth in the house thinking of a way to get out.

On this side of the main hall, Huang Fuze was still persuading the Empress Dowager Xiao bitterly: "Queen Mother, now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, why don't you just go to the Empress Dowager for a showdown!" At present, the border is in turmoil, and the Western Regions have threatened to attack our Daliang, if we don't put the prince on the throne and stabilize the dynasty, I'm afraid that Daliang will be in chaos! ”

As soon as he arranged it, if the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother shook hands and made peace, then wouldn't he be busy in vain!

"The mourning family heard that Mu Yunting didn't come back yesterday." Empress Dowager Xiao said lightly, "If the Empress Dowager envelops Mu Yunting in advance, and when the time comes, he will fight back outside the city, and we really don't have any chance of winning." ”

"Queen Mother, you forgot that Mrs. Mufu is still in Cining Palace!" Huang Fuze said in a low voice, "Right now, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Young are in our hands, aren't you afraid that Mu Yunting won't help us?" ”

"The mourning family and Mrs. Mufu have been friends since childhood, and they are full handkerchiefs, so the mourning family can't bear it, and they don't plan to use them as a bargaining chip." Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes flashed a hint of gloom.

Last night, she and the Huangfu family stayed up all night, and talked to themselves all night, and the Huangfu family persuaded her not to fall out with the empress dowager, but to have a good peace talk, saying that they are all royal people, once they turn their faces, they will meet each other.

Once you get into this trouble, it's just you who lives or dies.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao was unwilling to take the Mu family's people as hostages, Huang Fuze hurriedly glanced at Xia Yan, who was sitting on the side, and felt proud for a while, the Empress Dowager was soft-hearted, fortunately, he had already planned and had already tricked Mu Yunting's wife into the palace, and when the time came, he was not afraid that Mu Yunting would not obey him.

Xia Yan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Please ask the Queen Mother to support the crown prince to ascend the throne immediately for the livelihood of the world. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, turned her head to look at Huang Funuo, who was silent, and Huang Funuo hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Grandson is panicked, listen to the decision of the Queen Mother." "Anyway, Grandpa Guo is his father-in-law, and Grandpa Jin is his own uncle, so they can do what they say!

"I beg the Queen Mother to decide." Huangfu Ze and Cheyenne said in unison.

At this moment, the door of the main hall was kicked open.

The Empress Dowager walked in, glanced at the people in the room with a sharp gaze, and said coldly: "What is the decision?" Resolved to put this unsuccessful prince on the throne? You are delusional! I see you trying to rebel one by one, don't you? ”

Although the Nalan clan was over seventy years old, when he spoke, he still spoke loudly and powerfully, and the palace maids of Cining Palace knelt on the ground in a panic.

Empress Dowager Xiao also sneered, and stepped forward unhurriedly and said: "Empress Dowager, since the emperor was seriously ill, the Empress Dowager has monopolized the government affairs, regardless of the opposition of the ministers, and insisted on eradicating the Canglang Society, so that it has affected many families of the previous dynasty, not to mention the indignation of the officials and the people, and also promoted the old ministry into the government without authorization, eliminated dissidents, and suppressed the emperor's forces, dare to ask the Empress Dowager what her intentions are?" "So far, I can only tear my face!

She knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like her, and she didn't like her as soon as she entered the palace, not for anything else, just because the first emperor spoiled her on the first day she entered the palace regardless of the palace rules, but left out the niece of the Empress Dowager for more than half a year, so that among the concubines who entered the palace at the same time as her, only she gave birth to the prince, that is, Emperor Zhaowu.

For a long time, she has almost obeyed the words of the queen mother, and she has endured it a lot, because the harem is quiet, and her son can sit in the world with peace of mind.

Now, the Empress Dowager stretches her hand too long, and she has the posture of listening to the government, she really can't bear it.

"The intention of the mourning family is to hope that the country of my Huangfu family will be eternal, and the descendants will become martial arts and virtues for generations to come, rather than blindly relying on the benevolence of women in exchange for this moment of comfort and a moment of peace." The Empress Dowager glared at the Empress Dowager Xiao angrily, and shouted, "Come on, take down these rebellious ministers and thieves who are plotting to rebel for me." ”

The guards outside the door rushed in and surrounded several people.

"Don't push the Empress Dowager too much, why is it a conspiracy to rebel when we discuss letting the crown prince ascend the throne?" Huang Fuze took the lead in blocking in front of Empress Dowager Xiao, and flew up and kicked away the guards who ran up.

Cheyenne also fisted and stepped forward to join the battle.

Huang Funuo took the opportunity to leave the main hall under the escort of his henchmen and hid.

The main hall suddenly became a mess.

More and more guards came to help, and soon the battle spread throughout the palace.

Both sides seemed to have been prepared and quickly got into a fight.

At this time, the Huangfu clan was already sitting in a soft sedan chair, trembling out of the palace gate, and when he saw Mu Changyuan who came after hearing the news, he said with palpitations: "Chengye, the Queen Mother has promised to negotiate with the Queen Mother, and nothing will happen in the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said, "Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, you better leave quickly!" In the palace, there is already a fight in the palace. With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Huangfu and Mu Changyuan's faces suddenly changed.

"Mother, let's go back to the house first, and then we will discuss!" Mu Changyuan carefully helped the Huangfu clan into the carriage.

The mother and son hurried back home.

Mama Chu was overjoyed when she saw the Huangfu clan who came back safe and sound, and hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Tai, the slave maid thought that you would stay in the palace for a few days!" I also asked the second young lady to give you a little clothes! ”

"Erlang's daughter-in-law has entered the palace?" Huangfu was taken aback.

"Yes! Gonggong Li, who was next to the Empress Dowager Shicai, said that you are sick, and you have just taken the second young lady into the palace to serve you! Seeing that Huangfu's face was full of surprise, Mama Chu hurriedly asked, "Didn't Mrs. Tai see the second young lady?" ”

"I haven't seen Erlang's daughter-in-law, and I haven't heard that the Queen Mother is going to summon her into the palace!" Huangfu's face changed suddenly. R1152
