The carriage stopped outside the hall, and the palace people held the lamps in their hands and walked in front of them with their heads hung down to lead the way.

Jiang Hongxuan looked at Yushu in front of her, hesitated again and again, and couldn't help asking: "Aunt Yushu, the mother summoned the concubine into the palace, but what happened to my master?" ”

Yushu's footsteps paused slightly, slowed down, glanced at her, and said respectfully: "Mrs. General, the slave maid is just a messenger, this queen mother's mind, the slave maid does not dare to speculate." However, the border war has always been a success, and the general is brave, and the general's wife does not need to worry. ”

Jiang Hongxuan's back stiffened, smiled awkwardly, and did not respond again.

The queen mother's mind is unpredictable, and the people around her are also difficult to test. It seems that even if there is no Hongmen banquet today, there is also a dismount.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Ning Anyang boiled bird's nest porridge for the Queen Mother, and it was cold for a long time, and it happened to be in the mouth at this time. As soon as it was brought up, I saw Aunt Jin Zhi walking in quickly, and said, "Niangniang, the Jiang family has arrived, and it is outside the hall, can it be passed in?" ”

The Queen Mother didn't respond, and glanced at An Yang, who was standing aside and pretending to be well-behaved, and Jin Zhiden said: "The slave is not, this Queen Mother is unwell, and whether she sees a guest or not, she has to follow the doctor's instructions." Lord Anyang, look at this person......"

An Yang lowered his eyes, without any expression, only pointed to the bird's nest porridge on the table, and said warmly: "The imperial grandmother's spleen and stomach are not in danger, and this porridge has to be taken while it is warm." As for the visitors, it is not impossible to let her wait for a while. ”

The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly: "Just listen to Anyang and let her wait outside the palace." ”

"Yes, sissy." Jin Zhi replied and bowed back.

Outside the city of Kyoto, a snow-white horse rushed straight to the city gate, and the night wind blew his clothes fluttering.

The guard guarding the door came up, and before he could stop him, he saw the man holding a Xuanwu order in his hand, and hurriedly took a step back and bowed down to let him go.

Due to the cold of winter, the night market vendors outside closed early, and the street was cold at this time, with only a few passers-by wearing jackets and carrying bags.

The white horse quickly passed through the alley, and the sound of the horse's hooves was like the beat of a war drum. It wasn't until he reached the gate of the Dingguo General's Mansion that he neighed and stopped the horse's hooves.

Xu Xian, who was at the door, was shocked when he saw someone coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "My subordinates have seen the young general." ”

Su Zhen bowed slightly, and asked, "Is the eldest lady back?" ”

Xu Xian frowned, shook his head and said, "No." The eldest lady was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother some time ago to serve her illness and has not returned for many days. Moreover, the identity of the eldest lady may be ......" He wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to speak.

Su Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath, stopped, his eyes were cold, and said, "If you have something to say, say it!" ”

"Yes." Xu Xian put away his previous hesitation, poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told everything that happened in the Beijing Governor's Mansion today.

Su Zhen sneered when she heard this: "Jiang's family, she really said that?!" ”

Xu Xian nodded: "That's right." ”

"Interesting, really interesting!" Su Zhen smiled disdainfully, and then asked, "Is she here?" ”

"The little lady is not here, Aunt Yushu in the palace invited people away, saying that she was summoned by the Queen Mother."

Su Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then a smile flashed in his eyes: "Okay, I know, let someone carry a bucket of water to my room." ”

"Yes." Number Seven

As soon as Su Zhen entered the house, the secret guard who had been hiding in the shadows dodged and knelt in front of him: "Master." ”

"Where is Luan'er now?" His voice was hoarse, with a hint of exhaustion.

"Back to the master, the eldest lady left the palace two days ago, and has been staying in the private residence of King Jing's son."

He rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Today's matter, but she deliberately arranged it?" ”

"My subordinates don't know, but yesterday the eldest lady went to the governor's prison with the prince, and it seems that she saw someone."

Su Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, his precious sister is really uneasy! It seems that this good aunt lives for a day, and he will have to worry about it for a day, it's time, it's time to settle the accounts for these years!

Thinking of this, his eyes were slightly cold, and he instructed the person in front of him: "From today onwards, never leave an inch, and protect her well." ”

"Yes." As soon as the dark guard gave up, he quickly disappeared into the night.

And Jiang Hongxuan, who was waiting outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, had not been aware of the coming bloody rain.

The cold night wind blew through the long hair of her ears and temples, and with a bone-soaking chill, she couldn't help but shiver. Qin Xiang gathered her cloak for her, and asked in a distressed whisper, "Is the master cold?" The slave and maid are going to ask their aunt for a hand stove, right? ”

Jiang Hongxuan shook her head: "No need. "She is not the girl who doesn't know the world, since the queen mother has the intention to deliberately hang her, she has to do it. She can still bear this pain.

After about half a pillar of incense, a palace man came over from the hall to deliver a message: "General's wife, the Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace." ”

Jiang Hongxuan bowed slightly, followed her all the way through the corridor, and entered the hall.

The hall was burning with silver charcoal, and the warm heat was blowing in the face. This cold and hot, Jiang Hongxuan couldn't help sneezing.

At this moment, the voice of the Queen Mother came from inside: "Isn't this general's wife frozen?" Anyang, take the pulse for the general's wife! If it freezes, the mourning family will be guilty......"

An Yang answered, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Hongxuan, who had just entered the door, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Jiang Hongxuan's expression paused slightly, as if she hadn't heard the words of the Empress Dowager, she leaned down and saluted: "The courtiers have seen the Empress Dowager, Wanfu Jin'an." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her lightly: "Get up, the general's wife is weak, come here, give me a seat." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Jiang Hongxuan hung her head and looked submissive.

"The mourning family saw that your face was not very good, but you just got a cold outside? Why don't you let Anyang take the pulse for you! ”

Jiang Hongxuan dared to really respond, and hurriedly shook her head and said: "This is an old problem with the concubine, don't worry about it, I won't be the county lord of Anyang, Lao Niangniang is worried." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, turned her head and said to An Yang beside her: "An Yang, the general's wife is your future mother-in-law, you should find a time to take a good look at this old disease for the general's wife!" ”

An Yang bowed slightly, and said softly: "Imperial grandmother, An Yang looks at Mrs. This is not like an old disease, but more like a rush to attack the heart." ”

"Oh? Rushing to the heart? The Queen Mother glanced at her meaningfully, "Could it be because of today's pickled incident?" ”

When Jiang Hongxuan heard this, her face changed greatly, although she expected it, she didn't expect this matter to reach the ears of the Queen Mother so quickly. She raised her eyes to look at Ning Anyang, and a hint of yin fowl faintly flashed in her eyes.

Ning Anyang's afterglow kept falling on her, and naturally took her look into her eyes, she evoked a smile, and said with a slight sarcasm: "Mrs. General, this heart disease is the most difficult to get rid of, and doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is the best prescription." ”
