The wheels were rolling, and the clouds cleared the smoke and they returned to the imperial city before the arrival of the wax moon.

In the palace, Queen Chu, who received the news, asked people to guard at the palace gate early, and as soon as she heard that Yun Qingyan had arrived, she hurriedly went to pick up people.

And in Zhong Cui Palace, it was even more early to prepare a meal, after Yun Qingyan arrived at Zhong Cui Palace, Queen Chu let people put a whole table full, and Yun Qingyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.

"Queen Mother, although I went to the border pass this time, there is not nothing at the border pass, and my grandmother has also prepared a lot of food, how can your posture make it seem that I have escaped and come back."

If you really eat all these things, then I am afraid that I will not need to eat for three days and three nights.

"Having your grandmother at the border and your uncle to take care of you will naturally not treat you badly, but all the people who come back and live in the palace are more comfortable than your grandmother's house." Empress Chu looked at Yun Qingyan lovingly, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you look like you've lost weight." ”

"The queen is right, the slave looks at the princess, you are indeed a little thinner than before." The red maple on the side couldn't help but speak.

"Nothing." Yun Qingyan shook his head helplessly, "It's exactly the same as when I left." ”

"It's hard for the queen mother to lie to you, seeing that your face is indeed thinner, not to mention the trekking along the way, I'm afraid that I can't eat steadily, and I can't sleep well, in the end, this time after all, you are for my filial piety."

Empress Chu sighed, no matter what, with Yan'er running this trip, her heart is always a lot more comfortable than before.

"Queen Mother, this time I went to the border to visit my grandmother, although she is not in good health, but she is in good spirits, you don't need to worry too much. And when she came back, she kept telling her daughter to tell you that you don't have to worry, she will definitely take good care of her body. ”

Yun Qingyan picked up the pastry on the side and took a bite of it, the aroma was overflowing, very soft and glutinous, and it was full of thought at first glance.

"What you said is true, or did you come with your grandmother to comfort Hongu because you were afraid that Hongu would be worried?"

"Don't worry, what the daughter said is true, the grandmother is indeed not in good health recently, but they are taken care of by the uncle, and after the daughter goes this time, it can be seen that the grandmother's mood is much better, and even the body is healthier than before." Yun Qingyan paused, "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry too much, maybe there will be a chance to meet next time." ”

"If you really do what you say, it will be better." Empress Chu let out a long sigh of relief, "I think it's also because you went to the border very well this time, and your grandmother was able to see you, so she was naturally relieved a lot." ”

It's just that whether we will have the opportunity to meet again next time, who can say for sure.

In case the day after is really separated forever, if it is difficult to see each other, it can only be regarded as her daughter who is not filial.

Yun Qingyan nodded, did not follow Empress Chu's words, and continued to speak, but changed the topic.

"Queen Mother, my daughter is not in the palace during this time, I don't know if everything is okay in the palace, has anything happened?"

"Everything in the palace is quite stable, and your younger brother has been helping the emperor deal with government affairs during this time, and now he is becoming more and more handy in government affairs. If there is anything in this palace that is more troublesome......"

Empress Chu paused and glanced at Hong Feng, who immediately sent the palace maids and eunuchs on the side.

"Queen Mother, is there anything you can't say directly?" Yun Qingyan asked.

"In the final analysis, it's not a matter for Empress Dowager Liu." Empress Chu looked at Yun Qingyan, "Since she has been grounded since the last incident, there are some rumors in the court, saying that it is ...... said that it was because the palace instigated in front of the emperor, so the emperor grounded the queen mother. ”

"In this case, it should be from the Liu family, right?" Yun Qingyan thought for a moment.

For the Liu family, the Empress Dowager Liu is their only help in the palace, and now that the Empress Dowager Liu is imprisoned, and Liu Wushuang has been driven out of the palace, naturally she will not give up, and it is understandable to spread such rumors and want to exert some pressure.

"Not only the Liu family, but also some courts, of course, the ministers above, they may also be at the mercy of the Liu family." Empress Chu sighed, "At the beginning, when such a rumor came out, the emperor was very angry in his heart, and he also ordered to reprimand those officials, but what he didn't expect was ......"

"What I didn't expect was that even after my father's reprimand, these rumors still couldn't be quelled, but intensified, resulting in a lot of complaints from officials in the court now, and my father couldn't keep grounding Empress Dowager Liu, right?" Yun Qingyan raised his eyebrows, took Queen Chu's words and spoke.

Empress Chu nodded, and the red maple on the side couldn't help but speak.

"The emperor ordered before, obviously to let the Queen Mother be confined there, but now it has been a lot more relaxed, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Queen Mother Liu will be able to move freely again."

This time, Empress Dowager Liu almost killed the queen mother, if she was let go so easily, it really made people feel unbalanced in their hearts.

"In fact, although the previous poisoning was vicious, in the final analysis, this palace is now safe and sound. If you really want to forgive Empress Dowager Liu, this palace is not impossible. It's just that what this palace is worried about is that if the Empress Dowager Liu is really released again, I'm afraid that she won't stop the matter, and Ning Ren will secretly find a way to harm us. ”

She had always felt that she had been at peace with Empress Dowager Liu for so many years, but it turned out that things were not as simple as she thought.

If this time it is really easy for Empress Dowager Liu to lift the confinement, I am afraid that there will be no less trouble in the future.

Yun Qingyan thought for a while, "What is the attitude of the father and emperor now?" ”

In the final analysis, the most troublesome part of this matter is precisely that Empress Dowager Liu is not the biological mother of Emperor Yun, and if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to fall into the hands of others.

Empress Chu frowned, "The emperor's attitude was quite tough before, but it has loosened a lot recently, and I mentioned in front of the palace a few days ago whether I can lift the grounding of Empress Dowager Liu." ”

"What do you say, the queen mother?"

"This palace can naturally understand your father's difficulties, but if it is really released like this this time, I am really reluctant, so I didn't agree at that time."

Understanding is understanding, but if it is really such a big thing and a small thing, and a small thing into nothing......

If you are too soft-hearted, you are likely to bring endless trouble to yourself.
