After the morning of the second day, Long Jiangye went to the queen's palace as he said in front of Mu Jiu yesterday, and casually mentioned this matter.

Today's queen's face is much better, slightly ruddy in the pale, knowing that the emperor is coming, she hurriedly greets her.

This time, the palace maid who came to serve tea changed her posture, Long Jiangye raised her hand to take Biluochun, glanced at the palace maid lightly, and asked as if unintentionally: "I haven't come for two days, why have all the palace maids serving tea in your palace changed?" ”

The corners of Xie Huanting's lips pulled an unnatural smile: "She is not good at doing things, procrastinating, and the concubine sent her to the acupuncture bureau." ”

"Really?"

Long Jiangye asked these two words meaningfully, and the queen's heart was a little afraid, but she still nodded without blushing and panting: "Hmm." ”

"That's a shame."

After saying this, Long Jiangye was faint, and he didn't seem to be interested in talking to the queen anymore.

I saw Long Jiangye put down the tea in his hand with a dull face: "But I heard some bad things, but since the queen said that she had sent Jixiang to the side, it must be none of the queen's business." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor threw off his sleeve robe and left, leaving a decisive back for Xie Huanting.

Resentment flashed on Xie Huanting's face, and Ye Qing saw that the emperor was far away, so he sent everyone in the palace away.

"Ye Qing, what do you mean by the emperor's words?"

Ye Qing was embarrassed to cover the door, and when he saw that there was no one around, he came to the queen's side and whispered: "Niangniang, it must be the emperor who knows the news of Jixiang's death." ”

"Then will he suspect that Hongu did it? Could it be? ”

It seemed that she felt a little scared at this moment, she grabbed Ye Qing's arm tightly, and directly pinched Ye Qing's arm with so much force.

"No, the emperor just asked, didn't question you, don't be careful. Besides, Jixiang is just a palace maid. ”

"Yes, it's just a palace maid, and it's worth the emperor to ask, it must be because the emperor can't forget her, so he is willing to ask a few words. Fortunately, Hongu solved her early. ”

Ye Qing always felt that the mother had become a little more vicious, and even the little palace maid who had been serving tea for half a year could say that she had fallen and fell.

But when she heard this, she felt that the queen mother was right, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the queen mother, you are relieved." But Niangniang, since the emperor knows that the auspiciousness is gone, he still wants to mention it, what if the emperor investigates it privately? ”

"Your concerns are not unfounded. But these things have nothing to do with this palace, this palace just sent her away, what happened to her, it's none of my Kunning Palace's affairs. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qing also breathed a sigh of relief: "The slave maid is relieved, but there is only one palace maid left and right, if the emperor knows, he will not be willing to blame you." ”

"But since the illness in the palace has improved somewhat, the emperor has not come often, do you think the emperor thinks the palace is vicious?"

Women who are in love are cranky, Xie Huanting has an eye disease and can't distinguish the emperor's face, so her heart is even more sensitive, and she suffers from gains and losses.

"No, the emperor has been busy these days, I heard that there are ministers in the Heart Cultivation Palace who ask to see the emperor all day long, and the emperor can't be busy seeing the ministers. can also take time to see Niangniang every day, which can be seen in the emperor's heart, he remembers Niangniang. ”

Ye Qing also wanted to comfort Xie Huanting, since Xie Huanting entered the palace, her temper was far less gentle than when she was in Xie Mansion.

Many times, Ye Qing felt that Xie Huanting was not good to serve and get along with, and she was always cranky, guessing the meaning behind the emperor's words and deeds.

Moreover, a few days ago, the queen also arranged for someone to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, and it seemed that the emperor wanted to spy on the emperor's entire person in her sphere of influence.

"That's good, that's good. By the way, this palace asked you to pay attention to that Mu Jiu before, can you inquire? ”

What Mu Jiu said that day, Xie Huanting heard it in her ears, but it was blocked in her heart, and she really couldn't swallow this breath.

However, Na Mu Jiu has been on an errand in front of the emperor, and Xie Huanting couldn't find a chance to clean him up, so she had to inquire first.

"You said that Master Mu, the slave maid inquired, and I heard that after the emperor took a nap yesterday, Lord Mu offended the emperor, and the emperor punished the man for freezing in the ice cellar for an afternoon."

"Do you know why?"

Ye Qing pursed his lips, shook his head and said honestly: "The mouth of the person who waits in front of the emperor is the tightest, and Gonggong Chu will bring it over without saying any details." ”

"That's going to be hard."

"But Niangniang, I asked Xiao Zhuozi, the apprentice of Gonggong Chu, and he said that he seemed to vaguely hear that the emperor knew that Jixiangyi's death was told by Master Mu to the emperor."

"Is that really the case?"

Xie Huanting's tone increased sharply, and she was very surprised.

"Yes, Xiao Zhuozi is a person from the Imperial Palace, and he will not hear it wrong."

Xie Huanting's face was pale for a while, and it was very ugly.

"This palace has never offended him, why did he go to the emperor to chew the root of the tongue of the palace, not to blame the emperor for asking about this, he must have listened to Mu Jiu's slander."

"Niangniang, this is not necessarily, when Jixiang was digging a well and fishing it out, many people in the palace saw it, not necessarily what Master Mu said."

Ye Qing's words not only did not persuade Xie Huanting, but made Xie Huanting even more determined that this matter was inseparable from Mu Jiu.

"The people in the harem are very desperate, even if they have a guess in their hearts, they don't dare to go to the emperor to offend the palace by saying more, only Na Mu Jiu is close to the emperor and dares to chew the root of the tongue of the palace."

Xie Huanting no longer listened to the words of others when she was bent on what she believed, and Ye Qing's persuasion Xie Huanting did not pay attention to it.

"Mu Jiu is the person who was arranged by the prince, and the emperor must want to get rid of it as soon as possible. This palace must find a reason to dispose of Namu Jiu. ”

Xie Huanting gritted her teeth, and she didn't know that she thought there was any deep hatred between her and Mu Jiu.

"Niangniang, this is a matter of the previous dynasty, although Mu Jiu was on an errand in the palace, he was also an official of the previous dynasty. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, you are in the harem, and you can't meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty. ”

Xie Huanting's hands suddenly tightened, and she said to herself with a gloomy face: "There is no way in this palace, but isn't the elder brother of this palace in the front court?" ”

Ye Qing felt that the queen was a little crazy, the queen in the past was not such a person who killed such a strong anger at all.

"Niangniang, you can't influence the employment of the court."

Ye Qing couldn't bear to see Xie Huanting hurt one after another, that auspiciousness was a palace maid, the emperor didn't settle accounts with the queen, it must be a chance for the queen to reflect, and it was definitely not to hurt people again to see the queen.

But Ye Qing didn't dare to tell the queen these words, so he could only advise the queen not to do it easily.

"Ye Qing, what time is it?"

Ye Qing glanced out the window: "Niangniang, it's three o'clock at this moment." ”

"You take the waist card of the palace out of the palace and bring the brother of the palace into the palace, and the palace has something to say to the brother."

With the queen's waist card, Ye Qing did bring the ministers into the palace, but Ye Qing always felt that the queen was not as calm as before, and everything was always in a hurry, a little reckless.

"Yes. The slave and the maid will go. ”

Mu Jiu, who was drinking ginger tea, didn't know that she was being targeted by the queen, she drank the decoction of the medicine sent by the Mo yesterday and then slept all night, sweating a lot, but she really didn't get a cold.

It's just that when he got up in the morning, Mu Jiu felt that his body was slimy, so he took a bath in the morning.

Opening the cabinet carved with peony flowers, the first thing Mu Jiu saw was the clothes that Na Mo had fallen in his room that day, and they were neatly folded by her at the moment.

She touched it lightly with her hand, and then hid the dress in the deepest part of the closet.

It's like hiding his unsightly liking, hiding this not deep liking in his heart, and as time goes by, it gradually brews into a pot of thick wine, which gets drunk on Mu Jiu's heart.

After bathing and then going to the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was naturally late, and when he hurriedly went to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Long Jiang was seeing the ministers at night, and several ministers stood in a row, Mu Jiu was not easy to disturb, and quietly sat back in his seat.

The Yangxin Hall is divided into two halls, the east and the west, Mu Jiu is sitting in the east hall, and the dragon general in the west hall sees the minister at night, and what he says is intermittent, and it seems that he is urging the emperor to choose a concubine.

What heirs are important, what harem is withering, Mu Jiu knows what it means as soon as he hears it.

Mu Jiu sat upright, recording the matter of the Heart Cultivation Hall at this moment.

By the time the ministers came out, it was almost noon, and Long Jiangye wrinkled his brows and looked unhappy, as if he had encountered an intractable trouble.

"Father-in-law Chu, arrange for General Xie to enter the palace in the afternoon."

"Yes, my subordinates will let Xiao Zhuozi go to Xie Mansion to pass on your message to the emperor."

Long Jiangye's brows were tightly tightened, Mu Jiu rarely saw this person look like a great enemy, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak casually.

"Mu Jiu, come here."

Heavy, Long Jiangye's deep voice contained the coldness of killing, Mu Jiu hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, and slipped to Long Jiangye.

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't deliberately be late this morning."

Thinking that the emperor was going to blame himself for coming late in the morning, he took the initiative to ask for guilt after kneeling.

"That's not what I'm going to say, you come in with me."

Inside the west hall is the place where Long Jiang Ye only saw these ministers, and Mu Jiu rarely set foot there, because there are always many important twists and turns there, and Mu Jiu will never go over to provoke Long Jiangye's suspicion when he has nothing to do.

"Yes."

Entering the west hall, Gonggong Chu covered the door from the outside.

"Your Majesty."

Long Jiangye looked at Mu Jiu and asked in a deep voice, "I ask you, how much did you tell Long Jianghan about me before you turned against you?" ”

Mu Jiu choked, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and the cold on his back was startled.

"Weichen, Weichen really didn't say anything important."

"My affairs, no matter how big or small, let alone important or unimportant, even if it is just a small habit, you can let the dragon take Han Na to calculate me. You'd better be honest about what you've said before. ”

"Wechen really didn't, Wechen just told the emperor when you eat, when you drank tea, your favorite pastries, your favorite tea, and your favorite ink."
