The tree was huge, split into three thick branches that spread out, and it looked like human intervention had allowed the tree to grow like this, but it was too scary this year.

The lark took a cursory glance and found that many of the treehouses here were actually open, and he could go to other treehouses without going down to the ground.

There are a lot of vines on it, and they are smooth, and it should be that people often wander with them.

The lark thought, maybe the old woman came to the tree house in this way last night, so she was not discovered by the mother, otherwise how could the mother not find out if she climbed up the rope ladder?

This treehouse is three connected together, very large, Qiu Jue was invited, and the women in the house were very enthusiastic, asking them to leave a piece of food.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and all you eat is fish and shrimp and some small animals you don't know.

During lunch, Qiu Jue didn't ask any questions, but was very impressed by the topography of this place, saying that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would stay here to live.

The family liked her very much and invited her to come to their house for dinner these days.

Three days passed in a flash, and at night, Qiu Jue was carried by a lark and jumped on the branches, taller than the largest tree house in the village.

This place is suitable for moon viewing, Qiu Jue feels fresh, a piece of green under his feet, and the crescent moon is bent overhead, which is pleasant and comfortable.

Of course, the two of them didn't come out to admire the moon, and the lark told the situation of the secret investigation in the past few days.

"Niangniang, the slave and maid found that the people here almost didn't do anything."

The women circled around the children, the children played around the landscape, and the men seemed to have nothing to do all day long, either catching fish in the river or chatting together, which was more idle than the women.

It seems that everyone is still happy with this kind of life.

It is difficult for the lark to understand what kind of life the people here or Lingnan people are pursuing?

Of course, it has nothing to do with her.

All she wanted was for Niangniang to stay away from this strange place as soon as possible, go to Shengjing to find the Holy Hand of Detoxification, and leave Lingnan immediately.

After all, what does the affairs of the Lingnan people have to do with them?

Qiu Jue nodded, she also felt the same way, "It's not that they don't have nothing to do, but they are avoiding us." ”

The lark wants to say, since you know, don't you hurry away.

"What do you say is the relationship between Ulador and this Ulla old woman?"

Skylark: How does she know about ......?

Obviously, Qiu Jue didn't expect her to answer at all, and as soon as she said it, she replied on her own, "Don't be an old master or a new slave or something, then we will be miserable." ”

The old woman was obviously looking for a reason to keep them in order to investigate their identities.

It should be verified from Urador.

She had to figure out the weirdness of this place before her identity was revealed.

She opened the map and looked at the markers on it again, this place was inconspicuous, and she couldn't see anything, at least the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty had gone deep into Lingnan for several generations, and they hadn't found anything.

"Mother, let's go!"

In the past few days, after many investigations, the lark has found a way out, and he can take Qiu Jue away unconsciously.

"Don't talk nonsense, I must go into that mountain range, maybe there are endless jewels hidden in it."

Qiu Jue felt troublesome, why didn't this girl and her have the same heart?

The lark can't do anything about Qiu Jue, if she knows what Qiu Jue is thinking, she will definitely cry out for wrongdoing, you are the master, you can do whatever you want, but the slave is a secret guard, and the most important thing is to protect you.

Can this be the same?

You want to take an adventure, can the slave be with you?

On the other side, the little emperor also returned to the palace safely.

On the way back, I don't know if someone arranged it or no one knew the route for him to return to the palace, but he let him return to the palace safely.

"Meet the Empress Dowager." The first stop of the emperor's return to Beijing was to come to Cihui Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager is looking at this little emperor who has been away for a year at the moment.

Also her grandchildren.

However, at this moment, the Empress Dowager has the incomparably outstanding Mo Er Gongzi in her eyes, not the young man in front of her who doesn't know anything.

"Get up, it's been a hard journey! I heard that you have endured a lot of hardships when you went south this time, and you must have learned a lot, so you will be kind to the people in the future, and you must govern the thousands of miles left by your father. ”

The Empress Dowager didn't say much, and she said it very officially.

The little emperor nodded yes, was very respectful to her, and then accompanied her to have dinner in Cihui Palace before leaving.

The Empress Dowager looked at his distant back and fell into deep thought.

It took a long time to come back to my senses.

Seeing her frowning, Chun Tao asked, "Niangniang, what are you thinking?" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly and said, "You said that this kid went out of the palace, why has this character changed so much?" ”

"Niangniang means that the emperor has become bolder and is no longer afraid of you." Chun Tao is very careful to serve the master, the way the two get along is very special, when there are no outsiders, Chun Tao no longer has so many rules to speak.

The Empress Dowager also likes her like this.

"Yes, people, I really have to go out to practice." When he saw the little emperor a year ago, he was still the same submissive look, but now he dares to look at her directly, and he speaks in a clear and confident manner.

It was as if he was the emperor who was high above, and he only had respect and respect for her, and he was no longer the timid and cowardly teenager.

"By the way, what about the Nishinomiya?" Shaking her head to shake off these thoughts, the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered that there was another person.

Chun Tao helped her pinch her shoulders and replied, "I said that I was frightened a lot along the way, and I went back to the palace to rest, and when I sent someone to the palace to greet and ask for sin, you were eating at the emperor, and the slave maid made her not have to come to Cihui Palace to ask for peace, so she rested." ”

The Empress Dowager didn't care much about it, but she said an idea, "I heard that she has a lot of relationship with the emperor, Chun Tao, do you think these two people will be?" ”

"Niangniang, I don't dare to say this." Chun Tao hurriedly stopped her, her face changed, "The slave maid heard that she was injured several times in order to save the emperor, and once she blocked an arrow for the emperor and almost died, saying that once the emperor was robbed by bandits, or the queen mother found it." ”

She told the story of 1510 to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager was noncommittal, "It's good to return safely." In fact, she hoped that they would not come back, but with this thought, the Empress Dowager hurriedly recited a sin in her heart.

At the end, Chun Tao mentioned the matter, and her expression became serious, "Niangniang, there is another thing, I heard that the Queen Mother of the West has been poisoned and has no solution." ”

The Empress Dowager held her hand, turned her head suddenly, and asked eagerly: "Where did this news come from, is it true or false?" ”

"Maybe it's fake." Chun Tao could feel the force coming from her arm, frowned slightly, remembered the news she had gotten, and continued: "If it is true, the emperor should summon the imperial doctor for her as soon as she returns to the palace." So it's possible that this thing is groundless. ”

Even she, an outsider, felt frightened when she heard what happened to the Queen Mother on their trip.

Not to mention the participants.

"Pick a few decent items and send them to the Queen Mother Xi, and see what she has to say."

"What do you mean, look at her plans now?" Chun Tao waits by the side of the Empress Dowager on weekdays, so she naturally knows what Qiu Jue asked at the beginning.

It's just that to her, it's just a dream.

Just one point, the former emperor promised her that she could leave the palace at any time, but she was unwilling, vowing to stay in the palace, and now even for the sake of the emperor's face, no one dares to let her out.

At that time, the Empress Dowager of the West went south at the will of the Empress Dowager, saying that it was the emperor's shield to hear the ugly point, so she made such a request, and the Empress Dowager did not refuse, but she felt that she might never return.

Even so, the Qiu family couldn't say anything.

When Song Qian knew that Qiu Jue had returned to the palace, she only sent her personal palace maid to pick up a few valuable items and send them over.

There is no intention of joining in the fun.

It was calm everywhere in the palace, except for Ci'an Palace.

'Qiu Jue' was lying on the bed, his eyes didn't roll, and he had been staring at the curtain for a long time.

Little Peach was sitting next to her, the fan in her hand was playing very slowly, and no one dared to disturb her when she was dozing off.

In this palace, except for Qiu Jue and Qiu Chan, who dares to care about Xiao Pink?

The blackbird was lying on the bed, looking sick, and it was distressing to watch.

But if you look closely, you can find that her eyes are very confused.

And she had the same expression on her face as Qiu Jue had in the past, but her heart was broken.

Ever since she knew her mother's plan, she wanted to find a piece of tofu to smash herself.

What kind of master did she have?

But she didn't even have a chance to meet in person, so she was directly driven to the emperor and put on the shelf, with such a face.

She is confident that she can fool anyone, but this little master, she is not completely sure.

But what's the matter, she didn't expect that she would be debunked just by taking a look, and she was reprimanded by the little master, if it weren't for her injuries, plus this is the meaning of the mother, she felt that this time she would die a miserable death.

The little emperor met with a very small number of ministers in the imperial study, his eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept well lately.

"Ministers, see the emperor."

The ministers bowed, the little emperor nodded and smiled, and said, "You have worked hard for the past year. ”

The little emperor got up and bowed generously to the ministers, which was regarded as a return salute.

This scared the ministers enough, you must know that this is the emperor, although they don't pay much attention to it on weekdays, but this is also the only successor of the previous emperor.

They all said that they didn't dare, and knelt down directly.

Speaking of this topic, some people remember that some rumors have come out of nowhere recently.

It's all about the face of the second son, who is like an immortal, and the reputation he once had.

To put it bluntly, he is an upright prince, and his return seems to be a gust of wind blowing into the court, which makes people's hearts float and begin to be chaotic.

And today's emperor, in the eyes of all ministers, is a number.

At that moment, many people secretly turned their eyes to the little emperor, and when they saw his calm demeanor, they were relieved.

It's as if he doesn't know anything yet.
