Chapter X

She changed back into men's clothes and walked out of this quiet and peaceful courtyard with Mu Nanfeng.

When he went out, he said to Ning Chun'an: "Father-in-law Ning, please go back and tell the emperor, this courtyard is too precious, and Beitang can't afford it." ”

Looking up at the four big characters of "Pity Courtyard" on the plaque, I also felt that it was very dazzling.

Then he said: "There are these words, they are too eye-catching, let others misunderstand in vain, and I bother you to ask the emperor for a decree on my behalf and ask someone to dismantle it." ”

Back at the Beixuan Palace, Shangguan Beitang closed its doors for more than half a month. That's an afterword.

At the same time that the emperor left the Fukang Palace that day, the queen mother seemed to smell that this incident would have a negative impact on the emperor, and she made preparations to eliminate this influence as early as possible.

After Dugu Yanxiang left, she said to Aunt Xu: "Ah Ran, do you say that the emperor will listen to me?" ”

Aunt Xu also looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and replied: "Since Your Majesty has promised the Queen Mother, I think I will fulfill my promise." ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "If the mourning family is like this, if they can't stop him, then I'm afraid that no one in the world can stop him." You send someone to see where he's going? ”

Aunt Xu went out in response, and came back after a short time to report: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has gone to Concubine Rong." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's very good. ”

After a while, she seemed to think of something again, and asked, "What about the King of the North Vortex?" ”

"I should still be in the Mercy Courtyard." Aunt Xu said.

"Well, poor boy. After all, it was the mourning family who was sorry for him. The Queen Mother sighed again.

Aunt Xu persuaded: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to blame herself, you are also for the overall situation." If you want to come to the old prince and the eldest princess, you will understand. ”

"Yes! The mourning family can't give their daughter happiness, and the only thing I can do is to do my best to save her life! The Queen Mother said again.

She pondered for a while, and then said: "The emperor's move in this matter is too big, I'm afraid that the mourning family is not the only one who hears the wind. ”

"If that's the case, then we'll have to make that move." Aunt Xu rolled her eyes and said.

"It's just that in that case, I'm afraid Beitang will hate the mourning family for the rest of his life." The Queen Mother is very entangled.

"The Queen Mother, now you can only take care of the overall situation, and you have to make a choice." Aunt Xu said.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Then you can do it yourself, remember not to let anyone know." ”

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Understood." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and waved her hand, and Aunt Xu went out.

In the Beixuan Palace, Yuzhu is embroidering his wedding dress on a chair in front of the window.

A few days ago, Xiao Yiqing invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage. King Beixuan has also agreed to marry her into the Xiao Mansion, and now her heart is also very happy.

There was a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, sewing stitches and threads. fantasized about the future life of himself and Xiao Yiqing.

As soon as she was distracted, the needle passed through the fabric of the cloth and poked it into her hand, "hiss" She gasped, stuffed the fingers pricked by the needle into her mouth, and hurriedly looked at the wedding dress in her hand, although it was a red dress, but it could still be seen that it was stained with some blood.

Yuzhu panicked, and when she heard the old people say that the wedding dress was stained with blood was an unlucky sign, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, I heard someone outside calling: "Yuzhu girl, is Yuzhu girl here?" ”

Yuzhu went out in response: "Hey! Yes, yes. ”

When I saw it, that person was Aunt Xu next to the Queen Mother.

Yuzhu felt a little strange and thought: What is the matter with this Aunt Xu coming to me?

She stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Yuzhu meets Aunt Xu, I don't know what Aunt Xu is talking about?" ”

"The girl doesn't have to be polite, the old slave came today to invite the girl into the palace on behalf of the Queen Mother." Aunt Xu said.

"Please let me into the palace?" Yuzhu was a little puzzled by this and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the Queen Mother invited the girl over, and she wanted to ask the girl for help if she had something." Aunt Xu was polite and very polite.

"If the Queen Mother has instructed the slave family to do so, how dare she talk about helping, my aunt is really tormenting the slave." Yuzhu said busily.

"Then invite the girl to go!" Aunt Xu stepped sideways and made an inviting gesture.

Yuzhu had to bow her head forward, and when she passed by the garden, Yuzhu had just stepped on the road to the main gate, and Aunt Xu beside her called her and said, "Miss Yuzhu, let's go from the west gate!" ”

"Why?" Yuzhu was even more puzzled, in the past, didn't everyone from the palace enter and exit from the main gate? Why do you want to go through the side door today?

"Oh, Mama Liu is waiting for the girl at the west door, saying that she has something to say to the girl." Aunt Xu pretended to explain calmly.

When Yuzhu heard this, he no longer had any doubts, and said, "Then let's go." As she spoke, she turned and stepped onto the path to the west door.

When I arrived at the door, Mama Liu was really waiting there.

Yuzhu stepped forward and called, "Mama." ”

"Miss Yuzhu, you're here." Mama Liu looked at her kindly and said.

"Well, I wonder why Mama is waiting for me here?" Yuzhu asked.

"Good boy, come here, let Mama take a look." Mama Liu grabbed Yuzhu's hand and dragged her to her side.

She reached out and touched Yuzhu's cheek and said, "Child, you are also grandma watched grow up, and grandma naturally loves you like her own child." It's just that you and I have sworn in front of the old prince, for the sake of the Beixuan Palace, Mama is afraid that I will be sorry for you. ”

"What Mama is saying, Yuzhu can't understand." Yuzhu shook his head and asked.

"Hey, your grandmother is old, I'm afraid I'm confused, Miss Yuzhu, let's go quickly, the Queen Mother is still waiting for you." Aunt Xu interjected and rubbed Yuzhu's body.

Yuzhu walked forward and looked back at Mama Liu suspiciously.

Mama didn't say anything, reluctantly let go of Yuzhu's hand and twisted her head.

Yuzhu went out of the west door under the push of Aunt Xu, and a carriage was parked outside the door, and Aunt Xu got into the car with her and entered the palace.

Mama Liu drove out of the door, watched the carriage drift away, wiped her tears and muttered, "Child, if something really happens to you, Mama will go with you." ”

Yuzhu sat in the carriage, thinking about what Mama Liu said just now, and then thinking about her premonition today, she became even more uneasy.

She looked at Aunt Xu with a serious face sitting on the side, and she couldn't help but feel worried about entering the palace this time: strange, why did the Queen Mother recruit me into the palace? I didn't see the prince when I came out, could it be that they took me out behind the prince's back?

It's not what the Queen Mother wants to do, no, I have to find a way to escape, and then go to the prince or Lord Xiao. Otherwise, it will be too late when you enter the palace.

Yuzhu looked at Aunt Xu again, plucked up the courage and said, "Auntie, I want to go to the toilet." ”

But Aunt Xu didn't go up, closed her eyes and said coldly: "I'll be in the palace soon, let's talk about it when I enter the palace!" ”

After all, she is an old man in the palace, she has never seen any bloody rain, how can she not see through Yuzhu's careful thoughts.

But," Yuzhu tried to say something more.

"Girl, bear with me. It'll be there in a moment. Aunt Xu became indifferent.

After entering the palace, Aunt Xu led Yuzhu directly to the Queen Mother.

Yuzhu saw the Queen Mother and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said: "Slaves and maids see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"Get up!" The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.

Then, she looked at Yuzhu carefully for a while and nodded: "Yuzhu, yes, she is a good girl." No wonder the King of the North Spin takes such a fancy to you. ”

Again, "How old are you?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave maid is eighteen this year." Yuzhu replied respectfully.

"Well, it's about the same size as the North Hall. When did you enter the Beixuan Palace? The Queen Mother asked again.

"The slave maid is one year older than the prince, and she will go to the palace at the age of six." Yuzhu said.

"Who else is in the house?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, Yuzhu is an orphan and has no relatives, it was the old prince who saved Yuzhu and buried his parents for the slave maid, and the Beixuan Wangfu is the slave's home."

"Yes, yes, a person with a heart. Since you said that the old prince saved you, the mourning family asked you, if the king of Beixuan is in trouble, will you save it or not? The Queen Mother began to get down to business and asked tentatively.

"If the prince is in trouble, Yuzhu will protect the prince even if he fights for this life." Yuzhu said without hesitation.

"Okay, the girl is so righteous, and it is not in vain that the king of Beixuan loves you so much. Today's mourning family invited the girl to come, just for this matter, now your prince is in danger, do you save or not? The Queen Mother directly picked out the topic.

Yuzhu was a little puzzled, wasn't the prince in the palace? Although I have been a little in good spirits these days, I am not in danger! She asked suspiciously, "Lord Wang?"

"His danger is not something you can see, the mourning family means that if you don't save him now, I'm afraid his identity will not be able to hide." The Queen Mother reminded.

Yuzhu was shocked and glanced up at the Queen Mother. It turned out that she also knew the life experience of the prince, who told her?

"You don't have to be surprised, the mourning family will not harm the king of Beixuan. Child, only you can save your master in the current situation. The Queen Mother looked at her and said.

"How can I save this?" Yuzhu was even more puzzled, and for some reason there was a little more panic in his heart.

"You are the maid who serves him closely, and you are also the most suitable person, if you become his person, people will no longer doubt his background. Do you understand? The Queen Mother said.

"The slave doesn't understand." Yuzhu shook his head and said.

"These things, you will understand after a while, you just need to tell the mourning family, no matter what happens, you will save the life of the king of Beixuan, right?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"Well, Yuzhu's life was given by the old prince, if there was no old prince, I am afraid that Yuzhu would have starved to death on the streets. Yuzhu has sworn in his heart since he was a child that he will definitely protect the young master in this life. ”

"Okay, with your words, the mourning family will be relieved." The Queen Mother nodded, and said, "You go with Aunt Xu, she will tell you what to do." Aunt Xu? ”

Aunt Xu walked up and said, "Girl, come with me!" ”

After that, he turned around and walked in front, Yuzhu saluted the Queen Mother, and then followed Aunt Xu out.

Going around the back door of Fukang Palace, and after a while, I came to a house, Aunt Xu stepped forward and pushed the door open, stood by the door and said, "Girl, please come inside." ”

Yuzhu looked around, crossed the threshold and asked, "Auntie, what kind of place is this, what are we doing here?"

"If the girl really wants to save the King of Beixuan, let's stay here all night!" After Aunt Xu finished speaking, she pushed Yuzhu inside. Quickly pulled the door open and locked the outside.
