Chapter 373: Proud Knees
The night was destined to be insomnia, long and hard, until the sun rose in the east in the morning, and she still struck the same position, as if by magic.
"Bang ......"
There was a knock on the door from the outside, which brought her back to her senses, but she forgot about her appearance, and it was not until she saw the surprised face of the old woman that she realized something.
"You?"
The old lady was completely stunned at the moment, at the door, looking at Song Xiaoqiao motionlessly, and only squeezed out two words after half a sound: "You are?" ”
The person she brought over yesterday was obviously an old man, how did she suddenly become a young palace maid, who was she, and where did the old man go.
"Oh, the slave maid is a palace maid, the grandmother went out to run errands, let the slave maid help clean up the house, the slave maid just cleaned up."
Fortunately, the old lady didn't notice anything abnormal, thinking that she was someone else, otherwise she would have been at a loss.
"Wait."
After she finished speaking, she was ready to apply oil to the soles of her feet and leave the room, but as soon as she took a step on her side, the old lady over there suddenly opened her mouth, and her neck shrank in fright.
"Mama, do you have any time to come back?"
The palace is so big, it's hard to find someone to fight, and the queen is still waiting for a reply, so she has to ask clearly.
"......" the old lady stopped her, which really startled her, and thought that the old lady had found something abnormal, but she didn't expect that she just inquired about the 'old man'.
"I heard her say that she went to find medicine for the queen's mother, and as for when she will come back, the slave maid doesn't know."
Didn't the old lady say that the queen's ** illness had turned over, this happened to be an excuse.
"Okay, you stand down."
After the old lady finished speaking, she raised her hand, and seeing this, Song Xiaoqiao hurriedly slipped out of the room.
Time passed minute by minute, and after leaving the room, she squatted around the corner not far away, and when she saw the old woman gone, she turned back to the room and changed into the clothes that should have been worn on her.
"The old slave knocks on the queen."
In front of so many people, she was forced to kneel down on her always proud knee.
"Well, get up, Bengong heard that you went to find medicine for Bengong, I don't know how to find it?"
This woman didn't cause her much trouble, and taking this opportunity to punish her well today can be regarded as venting her evil anger for what happened before.
"This is the tangerine that the old slave specially found for the queen's mother, although it can't cure the queen's illness, but it can also alleviate it."
Damn, does the queen want to embarrass her in public, fortunately she was prepared, otherwise she would have to be embarrassed to her grandmother's house.
"Looks like you're quite caring." This woman really brought her something, seeing this, she put away her teasing heart, and continued: "This palace and the old lady have something to say, you all retreat first." ”
Calling Song Xiaoqiao over today was not for trickery, but because she really had something to discuss with her.
"Yes."
The palace maids retreated, and seeing this, the queen opened her mouth again: "How is the emperor lately, is he okay?" ”
In order to avoid the emperor interrogating her, she kept saying that she was sick and stayed in Fengxi Palace.
"The emperor doesn't have someone around you?"
The unspoken rule of the palace is like this, each master will install eyeliner to go to each palace, so that he can control the affairs of the harem in his own hands without leaving home.
She didn't believe that the queen didn't send someone to the emperor's side.
"Yes, there is, but the emperor seems to know it, and he never reuses it."
The emperor is very careful, and he is very suspicious, whether she sent it or someone else, it is like a stone on the edge of the sea, and he doesn't know the situation in the sea at all.
"To be honest, it's not very good, I see that the imperial study is often brightly lit."
What the queen said is quite in line with the emperor, except for a few people around the emperor, others can't get close to the emperor's body at all, as for amber, it is estimated that the emperor is also looking at her face, knowing that amber is her person, this will let amber stay on duty in the Chengqian Palace, but the situation in the imperial study, Amber is not clear.
"For the sake of the departing envoy?"
When the Queen Mother planned to kill Kabu, she didn't discuss it with her at all, until Kabu died, which made her suddenly realize.
That day, the Queen Mother came to her, saying that she wanted to ask Kabu to come out to talk about things, and asked her to inquire about the next step of the king from Kabu, but she believed it and didn't think much about it.
Afterwards, Kabe left the secret appointment place and died in the Duchy Pavilion, and she learned that the Queen Mother had done something in secret and took the opportunity to poison Kabu.
If it were her, maybe she would have the same idea as Song Xiaoqiao, and she wouldn't use this trick unless she had to.
It seems that the Queen Mother is really old, but she is the Queen Mother, the most powerful woman in the entire Mingyue, and no one can change her decision.
"This is just one aspect, you also know that all parties are ready to move now, and they all want to come out at this time to get a piece of the pie and carve up the bright moon."
In fact, Mingyue's problem is not just as simple as leaving the country, but there is a problem from within, and several major families have self-respecting troops and want to swallow Mingyue.
"Yes, these ministers, like the king, all have wolf ambitions."
In fact, she already knew the problem that Song Xiaoqiao said, and secretly helped the emperor a lot, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not solve the fundamental problem.
The forces of those old ministers are intertwined, and if they are not foolproof, they cannot act rashly, otherwise they will affect the whole body.
The emperor has been angry for many years because of this, but he can't find any evidence of their fatality, and he is afraid that he will be bitten back by them.
"By the way, does General He know that you are not his own granddaughter?"
The Queen Mother was there last night, she didn't ask, taking today's opportunity, she must ask clearly, if she doesn't know, this is very important.
"Well, I know, that's why Grandpa is at their mercy."
General He always knew that she was not his own granddaughter, so he would leave the king with him and make a stumbling block for the emperor.
"Then what does he mean now, is he completely on the side of the king, or does he not want to stand on the side of the king, but is just forced to be helpless."
He Xiao is not an ordinary person, although he has not been in the court for a long time, but his prestige is still there, if he is in charge, he must be able to solve the emperor's worries.
"Of course grandpa wants to be on the emperor's side, but it's a pity that his son and daughter-in-law are dead, and his granddaughter is now his only relative, he doesn't want to send black-haired people to white-haired people, so he will listen to the king, but he didn't really do what he wanted to do according to the king."
Although General He listened to the king on the surface, he still clearly knew that he was Mingyue's person, so many things were superficially passable, and he didn't really want to harm Mingyue and the emperor.
"If that's the case, then you go back and tell General He, just say that I have a way, not only to reunite their ancestors and grandchildren, but also to completely dispel the wolf ambition of leaving the king."
If He Xiao really did not lose his conscience because of his granddaughter, as the queen said, then it would be much easier to do it next.
The inside and the outside should be combined, and the king of Liwang was dealt a complete blow, so that he couldn't turn over in a short time.
