Inshou Palace, inner hall.

Empress Dowager Dong and Guang Han peeked at Yin Li and Song Dazhong through the screen window.

From the moment Song Dazhong entered the door, they had already begun to eavesdrop.

In order to let Yin Li and Song Dazhong have no scruples and open up the topic, Empress Dowager Dong carefully made arrangements, she ordered Guanghan to remove all the palace maids and eunuchs, and only wanted to hear the truth. Who knew that Yin Li and Song Dazhong not only didn't say a word about the marriage, but also didn't even say anything about going to the Song Kingdom to inquire about Buddhism.

Empress Dowager Dong frowned, and beckoned the palace maid beside her to come over.

"Go out and take them to the Imperial Garden. ”

The palace maid took the order and took Yin Li and the two out of Renshou Palace.

After Yin Li and the others left, Guang Han asked, "Why didn't you listen?"

Empress Dowager Dong said: "They are very vigilant, and it is useless to listen to it anymore." ”

Guang Han said: "Maybe things are not as complicated as imagined?"

Empress Dowager Dong smiled: "You think too simply, things may be much more complicated than we imagined." Situ Langren has affection for Jin Ling, if Jin Ling dies, with his temperament, he will definitely find Wei Daxun desperately, but he didn't do it. What's even more strange is that he is still in the mood to go to the Song Kingdom to inquire about Buddhism. This made the mourning family very confused, but just after watching the performance of the two of them, the mourning family almost believed that Jin Ling might still be alive. ”

"No, why can't Wechen see that they are performing?"

"No performance is the real performance. They were bare. Jin Ling is the eldest princess of my Hyuga Empire, she was killed by rebellious ministers and thieves, Yin Li and Song Dazhong are escorts, can't they guess that the mourning family will ask about this. But you see that they didn't say a word about Jin Ling just now, what does this mean?"

"The more evasive it is, the more it shows that it is strange, and Weichen understands. ”

"Let's go, go to the Imperial Garden, the mourning family wants to invite them to a cup of Song tea. ”

......

Yin Li and Song Dazhong were taken by the palace maid to the lakeside rain pavilion to rest.

The big monkey pulled by the pavilion and asked Yin Li to drive down to the lake

The maid fiddled with the tea set and made them a cup of tea.

This is the famous tea of the Song Dynasty "Xia Cheek Jade Dew", which has a fresh and sweet taste. However, although this tea is a famous tea, it is not the best tea for the royal family, and ordinary people can drink it. Yin Li and Song Dazhong looked at each other while drinking a cup of tea. They realized that the Queen Mother prepared Song tea for them to drink, which was meaningful.

The tea had just been eaten, and the Queen Mother and Guang Han came around from the trail.

Yin Li and Song Dazhong bowed: "Queen Mother Wan'an." ”

Empress Dowager Dong told them to get up and sit down, and sent all the palace maids away, and she fiddled with the tea set herself: "Don't be restrained, everyone." Guanghan, you sit too. The two Aiqing have drunk it, let's talk about it, how does this tea taste?"

Yin Li replied with a smile: "Song tea is famous all over the world, and the taste is not beautiful." ”

Empress Dowager Dong said: "This tea was bought from the market, not a tribute. ”

Song Dazhong continued: "This year's tribute should be delivered soon." ”

Empress Dowager Dong shook her head: "The mourning family is not asking for tribute, there is still tea in the palace." The mourning family just wanted to taste the difference in the tea that the people drank, so they sent someone to the market to buy some back, I tasted it, it was very good. Today, the mourning family does not pay tribute, but only entertains you with the tea of the people, can you guess what it means?"

Song Dazhong stared at the teacup, his nerves tightened, and he said he didn't know.

Yin Li also said: "The queen mother's thoughts, the ministers dare not speculate. ”

Empress Dowager Dong pursed her lips and smiled, carrying a pot and pouring tea, but did not speak.

I don't know if it was instructed by the Queen Mother, Guanghan suddenly spoke: "The Queen Mother praised you, she said that you inquired about Buddhism, killed demons and evils, and were great heroes of the empire." If it weren't for your dedication, the Song Kingdom would probably be destroyed at the hands of the demon monks, and if this is the case, then the people of my Hyuga Empire will never be able to drink Song tea again. Therefore, this cup of tea was invited by the Queen Mother on behalf of the people. ”

Song Dazhong saluted: "This is all caused by the dragon power of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and the grass people dare not be greedy for the merits of heaven." ”

Empress Dowager Dong was not in a hurry to answer, and invited everyone to serve a cup. Her blazing eyes looked left and right, always paying attention to the microsecond changes on Yin Li and Song Dazhong's faces. After everyone drank this cup of tea, she said: "As long as it is for the benefit of the people and the contribution to the empire, the mourning family will treat each other with courtesy." I heard that General Situ's contribution this time is not small, and the mourning family specially prepared a cup for him, but unfortunately he did not come back to report on his work, what is going on?"

Yin Li and Situ Langren had expected the Queen Mother to ask this question.

So before that, they have a plan to deal with it.

Due to Situ Langren's recent situation, the eldest princess was not involved.

Therefore, they chose to tell the truth to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Dong is really unfathomable and incomprehensible.

When she heard what happened to Situ Langren, she could be indifferent, as if she hadn't heard anything, and her mouth was still dotted with a smile: "That is the case, then it is up to him." It's just that the Asura Realm is a gloomy ghost realm, and General Situ can live for a long time, but the eldest princess of the Mourning family is a golden body, can she bear this suffering?"

After speaking, he took a cup of tea, and covered it with the teacup, and a pair of eyes shuttled back and forth.

She wanted to see if Yin Li and Song Dazhong's faces were different, but she didn't find out.

When Yin Li and Song Dazhong heard her mention the eldest princess, they only had surprise and puzzlement on their faces.

Yin Li said: "Queen Mother, ...... are you, the eldest princess has already ......." ”

"Yes, the eldest princess has ...... Hey, I just lost my word. Empress Dowager Dong shook her head and sighed, her eyes were red, and two lines of tears flowed out. She raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, and said sadly: "The eldest princess has been well-behaved since she was a child, kind and filial, but I didn't expect to suffer such a catastrophe, it was the fault of the mourning family, the mourning family should not marry her to Yan Kingdom, it was the mourning family who harmed her." ”

Yin Li and Song Dazhong said: "The acting is like the real thing." ”

The two persuaded: "People can't be resurrected after death, and the Queen Mother mourns." ”

Empress Dowager Dong laughed: "Yes, people can't be resurrected after death, and it's useless to cry." Tell the mourning family the details of the murder of the eldest princess. The mourning family specially sent someone to the Guozijian this morning to grant you leave and summon you, mainly to ask how much the eldest princess suffered?"

"Queen Mother, you drink tea, Rong Chen will tell you in detail. ”

Yin Li is articulate, but the most important thing is to talk nonsense without blushing.

The eldest princess's fake death is a big lie concocted by him.

Therefore, Yin Li should not give in and tell this lie in detail.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong hid her face with a handkerchief, and she couldn't cry. She got up and walked away, holding the pavilion pillar with her hand, not wanting people to see her crying: "The first emperor's flesh and blood are not worthy of humiliation, she chose to jump off the cliff because she didn't want to touch the darkness of the royal family." Jin Ling, Jin Ling, you died like this, how can the queen mother be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors. Hey——, the mourning family is tired, Guanghan, send them out of the palace for me. Ah no, Yin Li stayed for a moment. ”

Guang Han took the order and took Song Dazhong to retreat.
