Chapter 705: Entering the Palace
"Queen Mother, you have to take care of yourself." Chu Qingli sighed and said.
Liu Ningxi's eyes oozed some tears again, but she didn't rush back to Chu Qingli's words, and only said to a few palace maids waiting on the side: "You all go down."
Those people retreated one by one, and after they disappeared, Liu Ningxi spoke: "I'm okay, but the emperor ...... him."
Chu Qingli knew that after all, he was father and son, and sadness was inevitable, so Chu Qingli had no choice but to speak: "The queen mother comforts the emperor more on weekdays, it will always be fine."
Liu Ningxi nodded and sighed: "I'm also worried about the emperor's body, I'm still guarding the spirit in the Spirit Hall at this time, it's been a day and a night."
Chu Qingli knew that Liu Ningxi probably had just retreated, and sure enough, Liu Ningxi said again: "If the emperor wasn't worried about my body, I would still want to accompany him."
Chu Qingli comforted: "You two can't both fall, you can also relax, there are still middle-ranking ministers in the Spirit Palace, and they are all guarding the emperor."
Liu Ningxi nodded, and the expression on her face loosened a little: "Qingli, thank you."
Chu Qingli showed a faint smile: "Queen Mother, you are polite again, just a few words, but what is the matter with Queen Mother calling me in?"
Liu Ningxi showed a look of embarrassment, twisting the handkerchief with both hands, but Chu Qingli didn't wait long, Liu Ningxi still spoke: "In the past few days, because of the affairs of the former emperor, the palace is not very quiet, and those concubines of the former emperor, I will deal with them one by one, it is really a little tricky, so I cheekily called you into the palace to help."
Chu Qingli looked at the apologetic look on Liu Ningxi's face, and couldn't help but sigh: "As a courtier, it is normal to share the queen's worries, besides, the relationship between you and me, the queen mother, still needs to be so restrained?" I'm afraid you won't tell me something. ”
Hearing Chu Qingli say this, Liu Ningxi showed a long-lost smile on his face: "Qingli ......"
Chu Qingli looked at Liu Ningxi and was moved, knowing what she wanted to say, Chu Qingli hurriedly said first: "This is all as it should be."
Liu Ningxi swallowed back the polite words that came to his mouth, and only took Chu Qingli's hand and held it tightly, everything was in his hands.
Silent for a while, Chu Qingli waited for Liu Ningxi to pass this emotion, and when he saw that she was almost there, Chu Qingli opened his mouth and asked, "What do you need me to do next?"
Liu Ningxi said slowly: "There are a lot of concubines of the first emperor, some of them were quite popular with the emperor before they were alive, and they used to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, but there were still young princes, so everyone made a fuss, saying that why she didn't have to guard the mausoleum and tear each other apart, how can I say that she is also a daughter-in-law, and she must not use heavy weight, and many of them are women from the family, so I ...... the benefits of this."
Chu Qingli nodded and said, with Liu Ningxi's words, the threads were strung in his mind, and he stayed in the palace before, and the concubines of the palace also had a general understanding, and the threads in his brain were the strings of the harem concubines and the former courtiers, and Chu Qingli carefully stripped these threads in his heart.
This Liu Ningxi said something about the same, so she stopped and looked at Chu Qingli, waiting for Chu Qingli to speak.
Chu Qingli smiled slightly: "It's not difficult, there are no very prominent concubines among the first emperor's concubines, and it's easy to do."
As soon as he heard Chu Qingli say that there was a simple way, the smile on Liu Ningxi's face widened: "Then what should I do?"
Chu Qingli said: "Usually the concubines don't dare to make trouble, there must be someone instigating them, let's find out the person who takes the lead first, and when the time comes, after finding someone, we will do the next thing."
Liu Ningxi nodded: "I'll order someone to do it."
Chu Qingli nodded: "I still have to meet someone."
Liu Ningxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who?"
Chu Qingli replied truthfully: "The first emperor is a concubine."
Liu Ningxi thought about who this person was, and it took a while to remember that this person was the most favored person before the death of the emperor, and it was this concubine who was also named Concubine Rou with the young prince.
"Qingli, do you have a personal relationship with this concubine?" Liu Ningxi asked speculatively.
Chu Qingli didn't intend to hide it, so he told Liu Ningxi about hiding in the palace and exposing Shen Qiurong at the beginning.
After hearing this, Liu Ningxi sighed: "It seems that he is also a good person, but the good people in this harem usually have a bad life." Liu Ningxi said with a relative.
Chu Qingli sighed and didn't speak, but only explained what Liu Ningxi should do next, the two talked for a long time, and Liu Ningxi wrote them down in his heart one by one.
At the end, Liu Ningxi said: "Qingli, you have stayed in the palace recently, it is inconvenient for the province to come and go, the emperor has asked the palace to prepare a palace, and the prince also lives in the palace temporarily."
Chu Qingli nodded: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Liu Ningxi glanced at Chu Qingli: "You're polite again."
Chu Qingli smiled and didn't refute, but said, "Then the queen mother, I'll go and see Concubine Rou first."
Anyway, the matter was almost over, so Liu Ningxi should go down, and only let Chu Qingli go early and return early, saying that he was waiting for her to have dinner.
Chu Qing left the response, then turned around and went out, as soon as he came out of the side hall, the palace maid brought Chu Qing off the white fur to the ground, this white fur was roasted hot, and it was very warm, and Chu Qing walked out after dressing it.
The snow that had stopped outside for some reason was falling again, and the palace maid on the side saw that Chu Qingli was going to go out, so she hurriedly went to get an umbrella and handed it to Chu Qingli: "Princess Mu's slave maid will hold an umbrella for you."
Chu Qingli refused with a faint smile: "No need, I'll come by myself."
The palace maid didn't insist, she only handed the umbrella in her hand to Chu Qingli, and retreated.
Chu Qingli held an umbrella and walked towards Rou Concubine's palace.
The snow kept falling, and Chu Qingli's hand holding the umbrella was already red from the cold, but there were still white-clothed eunuchs sweeping the snow on both sides of the palace road, and their heads were already covered with frost and snow, and their hands were already frozen purple, Chu Qingli couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it, but he knew that he couldn't change anything.
Chu Qingli was familiar with the road to Rou Concubine, and it didn't take long for Chu Qingli to arrive at the door, looking at the lively palace in the past, it seemed to be quiet again, and there were no guards at the door, so Chu Qingli stepped forward and pushed the door open.
"Squeak-" The door was pushed open, and the snow on the door fell "in a rustle", and when it was finished, Chu Qingli stepped on the falling snow and went in.
Walking through the front hall, Chu Qingli saw a person at this time, and the person took a look at Chu Qingli, and was stunned for a while, not knowing where this noble person came from.
"Who are you?" The palace maid stepped forward and asked.
Chu Qingli remembered that they hadn't seen her true face yet, so she couldn't help but bow her head and laugh, but after a moment, she raised her head: "I'm Princess Mu, I'm here to meet Concubine Rou."
