It was late at night, but Ruan Wanwan didn't have any pajamas at all, sitting under the lamp with a book and thinking about the queen.

At this moment, the door squeaked open, and a maidservant girl came in to report, followed by a little eunuch.

"Crown Princess, the father-in-law next to the emperor is here."

Ruan Wanwan recognized him, and this was the emperor's side to serve him.

"My father-in-law came here so late, but is there anything important?"

The little eunuch smiled: "The princess is really smart, and the emperor has a decree to invite the princess to enter the palace to visit the queen." ”

Ruan Wanwan sighed with emotion in her heart, she had long known that the emperor had not allowed her to enter the palace in every possible way, just to make a show for others, but in fact, he still cared about the queen's mother.

The eunuch added: "The emperor said that he wanted the princess to be quiet, don't alarm people." ”

"I know this, thank the emperor for me."

"The minions are gone."

Ruan Wanwan put down the book, quickly packed up her things and got dressed, and quietly entered the palace without even bringing a maid.

The way in was very smooth, and the guards I met were either napping or drinking and gambling, and I think this was also instructed by the emperor.

After walking about a stick of incense, Ruan Wanwan successfully arrived at the queen's palace.

She quietly looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, gently pushed the door open and walked in.

"Concubines see queen mother."

The queen hadn't slept yet, she was sitting at the table drinking tea, and when she saw that it was Ruan Wanwan, she was naturally very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't be polite."

The queen held her hand and said with concern: "Good boy, it's hard for you, the guards outside are so strict, how did you get in?" ”

Ruan Wanwan took off her cloak and said with a smile: "It's the emperor who ordered me to come quietly, and the guards outside must have been secretly instructed by the emperor and didn't stop me much." ”

Ruan Wanwan was pulled by the queen to sit down, looked around, and saw that the furnishings in the room had not changed much, and they were as gorgeous and luxurious as before, and there were several palace maids and eunuchs in the room to serve, and there was a lot of food on the table, not the leftovers that were rumored outside, but fresh and diverse, everything here was no different from before the grounding.

From the outside, the queen must have had a miserable life after being grounded, but in fact this is not the case, Ruan Wanwan's heart is half relieved.

"Niangniang, don't worry, in a few days, the emperor will definitely let you out, and the emperor allows me to come to see you, so I know that he is not angry."

The queen and the emperor have been husband and wife for many years, and they have already guessed this, and nodded to Ruan Wanwan: "Yes, this palace has always known." ”

Ruan Wanwan was a little puzzled: "I always know? ”

I thought that the queen would be cranky because she was grounded, and she couldn't eat or sleep well, but she was worried, but she didn't expect the queen to know everything.

"Yes," the queen poured Ruan Wanwan a cup of tea, and said unhurriedly: "This matter is not as serious as it seems, there will be nothing wrong with this palace, but this matter will not be so simple, this matter is mainly aimed at the eldest prince." ”

Ruan Wanwan was even more incomprehensible: "The eldest prince? ”

The queen nodded: "Yes, the emperor and the palace have set up a bureau together, and the one who leads the eldest prince to take the bait is grounded in the palace, which is a bait, let's wait and see what happens, and we will know when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Wanwan, who had been restless all night, was finally relieved.

It seems that she doesn't have to worry about anything, the emperor and the queen have long known that the eldest prince is restless, and now they are finally willing to do something to him.

The queen asked with concern, "How are you doing with the crown prince?" ”

Ruan Wanwan was finally in the mood to drink tea, holding the teacup and saying, "I'm fine with the prince, but I'm worried about the queen mother." ”

"You go back and tell the prince about the situation in the palace, don't let him worry."

"Yes, the concubine knows."

Ruan Wanwan thought that Bei Liangye was so smart, he must have known the key to the problem a long time ago, and there was no need for others to say more.

Ruan Wanwan saw that it was not early, and after a few sips of tea in the cup, she said to the queen: "Niangniang, the concubine came quietly, although the emperor secretly helped, but he still couldn't stay longer, in case it was not good to be seen by the people of the eldest prince, I will leave, you take care, I will come to see you another day." ”

The queen patted the back of her hand and sent her to the door: "Go, be careful on the road." ”

"Yes."

Ruan Wanwan was about to open the door, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at a row of flower pots on the windowsill that caught her attention.

These flowers are still arranged as before, but there is an extra pot of very delicate flowers, which blooms vigorously like a fire, which is very eye-catching.

She remembered that when she came to the Queen's Palace, she had never seen such flowers.

"Niangniang, what kind of flower is this?"

The queen looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile: "This is a new variety cultivated in the flower house, and the slave of the flower house said that this flower can add joy to the house, so he sent a pot to the palace." ”

Somehow, Ruan Wanwan always felt that something was wrong.

The queen is grounded, and the minions of the flower house don't know the inside story of the grounding, it stands to reason that it is impossible to be courteous to the queen who has fallen out of favor at this time, but now it is doing the opposite, which is somewhat abnormal.

"Niangniang, how long has this flower been here?"

The palace maid on the side said: "Back to the crown princess, it was sent the day before yesterday." ”

Ruan Wanwan asked again: "What discomfort does Niangniang have in the past few days?" ”

The queen thought about it seriously and shook her head again: "Everything is as usual, there is no discomfort, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this flower? ”

Although Ruan Wanwan was suspicious in her heart, she didn't want the queen to worry, not to mention that now it was only her suspicion, and there was no evidence.

So he quickly came back to his senses and found an interface and said: "It's nothing, I just think it's very good-looking, the book says that putting red flowers in the room will affect sleep, and the mother is fine." ”

The queen smiled: "Those are all nonsense, this palace is fine." ”

Ruan Wanwan said: "Niangniang, can you give this pot of flowers to the concubine?" The concubine thought that if the red flowers were not good for sleep, they would definitely be helpful for reading and writing, and they would definitely be suitable for the study. ”

The queen liked Ruan Wanwan very much, so she naturally agreed: "If you like it, take it, it's not a precious thing, just let the slave of the flower room bring a pot tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the concubine thanked Niangniang."

Soon, a palace maid moved the pot of flowers and put it in Ruan Wanwan's hands.

"You're welcome? The prince is the son of this palace, you are the daughter-in-law of this palace, and this palace loves you, which is the same as hurting the prince. ”

Ruan Wanwan looked at the flower pot in her hand for a while, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she had to go back quickly and study it carefully.

"Yes, Niangniang, the concubine will leave first, Niangniang take care."

Ruan Wanwan put on a cloak, held the pot of flowers in her arms, opened the door and disappeared into the night.

The queen watched her leave, looked around carefully, and then closed the door.
