Chapter 131: The Empress's Accountability
Mu Qing sneered and said, "The third prince turned over the capital for you, and arrested the imperial doctor from the palace, such an upright move has already attracted the attention of some people. ”
She took a few steps closer, with a mockery in her eyes, "Even if the third prince is not interested in the throne, he is also a prince, the queen's own son, who is the biggest threat, I hope you can be clear." ”
Shen Mei was speechless, and could only watch Mu Qing leave with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she was the only one left by the pond, and a gust of wind made her lose her temperature, cold and terrible.
She didn't care about it so much, but Mu Qing thought about him everywhere.
There was a sour feeling in her heart, Shen Mei took a deep breath, picked up a stone and threw it into the pond, the water surface rippled, just like her heart at the moment.
The next day, the sky was bright, and Qing'er waited in front of the door early, waiting for Shen Mei's orders.
She yawned and looked sleepy by the door.
The door was gently pushed open, Shen Mei stretched out her head and glanced at the sleepy Qing'er, with a smile on the corner of her mouth and her eyes curved.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Shen Mei lowered her voice in time, but Qing'er was still startled.
The sleepiness disappeared immediately, and she knelt on the ground busily, her voice fearful, "The slave didn't mean to be lazy!" Please don't punish the slave or maid! ”
Her whole body was trembling, as if she was very afraid of Shen Mei.
"I don't blame you, get up." Shen Mei was startled by her movements and hurriedly helped her up.
Qing'er glanced at her suspiciously, and her cautious eyes seemed to ask if she really wouldn't blame her.
Shen Mei couldn't cry or laugh, she had already said that she wouldn't blame her, was her words so unworthy of others' belief.
In desperation, she nodded heavily, with a look of affirmation, and almost didn't take out her heart to prove herself.
Qing'er burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you, girl, the slave thought the girl would blame the slave." ”
"I'm lazy, I don't have to get up so early, and I'm leaving today, you can go back and sleep a little longer."
"Where is the girl? Before leaving, the third prince could have specially instructed the slave maid to serve the girl well. Qing'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "If the girl wants to leave, she will have to wait until the third prince returns, don't embarrass us as subordinates." ”
"Where did he go?"
"The third prince entered the palace early in the morning, saying that the queen mother had something to discuss with him."
Qing'er honestly told her everything she heard, Shen Mei's heart was cold, what Mu Qing said was really right, it must be the queen who knew about yesterday's events, so she would announce him into the palace so early.
From afar, Mu Qing stood there looking at her, Shen Mei noticed her, and was about to speak, but she turned her back and took a few steps forward, waiting for Shen Mei.
Qing'er followed her line of sight, and Mu Qing's sudden appearance made her puzzled.
In the past, the three princes took Mu Qing with them when they entered the palace, but why did they leave Mu Qing's sister today.
"Okay Qing'er, I'm leaving." She was afraid that Qing'er would stop her again, so she pointed at Mu Qing and said, "Mu Qing was left by the third prince to send me back, you can rest assured with her." ”
Qing'er hesitated for a while, nodded, and hurriedly ran to the room, took out the prescription, handed it to Shen Mei, and carried a few packets of medicine.
These were the ones she had prepared for a long time, and she didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.
Shen Mei took it with a smile, although there were many wounds on her body, they were not so painful, so they were within the range of what she could bear, otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to get out of bed.
She walked towards Mu Qing quickly, and as soon as the footsteps approached, Mu Qing stepped forward, without waiting for her.
Shen Mei's body was already weak, and in order to catch up with her, she had already exhausted her strength, panting, and a little sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.
She leaned against the wall, panting, Mu Qing glanced back, threw her a handkerchief, and walked forward without looking back.
"Rub your neck, be careful that the wound hurts." She took a few more steps and suddenly stopped, "Wait here, I'll go and get the carriage ready." ”
She originally planned to ride a horse to see Shen Mei off, but after thinking about it carefully, the carriage was bumpy, and she definitely couldn't stand it.
The rest of her is fine, Shen Mei muttered in her heart, suddenly frowning, and looking pained.
No wonder she let herself wipe it, sweat flowed on the wound, and it hurt so badly.
……
Shen Mei hid all the way, and finally returned to Meixiang Pavilion smoothly, as soon as she entered the room, she took off her clothes and asked the hairpin to decoct the medicine.
Lian Xin looked at the shocking scars on her body, her long eyebrows twisted together, and the worry in her eyes was so much that it was about to overflow.
She hurried back to her room, rummaging through the cabinets until she finally found a bottle of ointment.
"Girl, the slave will give you medicine."
Shen Mei lay on the bed weakly, letting Lianxin scrub her body for her.
There is no suffocating smell of medicine, only a faint fragrance of medicine wafting in the room, which smells very good.
The cold ointment was gently rubbed against the wound, and Lianxin sighed.
"How did you get like this after only two days out? I'm afraid it will take a long time for this wound to heal. ”
"It's okay, I'll keep it in the Rose Fragrance Pavilion honestly, and it will be fine sooner or later."
Shen Mei didn't mind at all, but Lian Xin was in a hurry, what would happen if she had a scar on her body.
"Girl! The queen asks the girl to come over! The hairpin ran in in a hurry, still holding the steaming medicinal juice in her hand.
Empress? Shen Mei almost fell off the bed, but Lian Xin's eyes were quick and she was busy supporting her.
"Did you hear me right, is it really the queen mother?" Why is she so unlucky, today must be her bad luck, it's really a disaster, it's all gathered on this day.
Lianxin waited for Shen Mei to get dressed, for fear of touching the wound, Shen Mei took the bitter medicinal juice, pinched her nose, and drank it all.
There is only one word in my heart, bitter!
The whole face wrinkled, the body trembled, and immediately threw himself in front of the table and poured a large cup of herbal tea to feel better.
She carried the hem of her skirt and hurried to the queen's palace.
The eunuch sang her name, and she went in, bowing her head and saluting, "Say hello to the queen." ”
After a pause, the queen's laughter mixed with different emotions came from overhead, "Feng'er, didn't you say that she was in your mansion, who is this person in front of the palace." ”
She looked at Mu Qingfeng on the side with a smile, Shen Mei raised her head slightly, and she could faintly see a corner of the cyan robe beside her.
She lowered her head, her knees trembling, and her body shook, a little unsteady.
The queen sneered, "Meixian is really delicate, it's only been a long time since she was unstable, if this palace punishes you once, wouldn't it be fatal." ”
"The Queen Mother." Mu Qingfeng suddenly spoke, "Erchen has already said that no matter whether the people in Erchen's mansion are her or not, Erchen will not obey the will of the queen mother." ”
The queen's face changed, and she slapped the table, "Presumptuous!" The queen mother is all for your good! Are you going to oppose the queen mother for her sake? ”
Shen Mei, who was confused, was picked up by Mu Qingfeng, ignoring the roar of the queen behind her.
Shen Mei raised her eyes, and met his blaming and worried eyes.
She looked at the palace man's gaze, struggled a few times, and motioned for him to put herself down.
Mu Qingfeng glanced at them coldly, and the palace people quickened their pace, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to take another look.
The queen spoke up again, with a touch of helplessness, "Feng'er, talk with her for a while with the queen mother, the queen mother hasn't had a good chat with you for a long time." ”
Mu Qingfeng slowly stopped, looked at Shen Mei with an inquiring gaze, and waited for her answer.
See what I do? Shen Mei glared at him, this is your queen mother, not mine.
