Chapter 259: Empress, Are You Guilty?
Chu Yao pushed Su Zhimo away, feeling that this man was uneasy and kind.
But...... I'm looking forward to it.
There was a little excitement in her heart, she wanted to have the man in front of her completely.
Su Zhimo had already arranged for Tingqin and Caihua to prepare dinner, and there was Chu Yao's favorite osmanthus cake. The family of four had dinner with Hemeimei, and they were happy and noisy for a long time before they quieted down and spent a beautiful and peaceful night.
……
Late at night.
Su Zhimo didn't stay, but went to the imperial study, and he and Chu Yuqian needed to secretly communicate some things about investigating the Qin family.
Chu Yao stayed in the room, turned off the lights, and was about to fall asleep.
But I heard the sound of small footsteps, which was very light, and if it weren't for the Lian family, I wouldn't have heard it.
She held her breath, closed her eyes, slowly grasped the dagger next to her pillow, and listened carefully to the man's movements.
Listening to the footsteps, it seemed to be a woman, not tall, with a slender body.
She didn't approach the bed, and didn't seem to want to do anything to Chu Yao.
But it's sneaky in the room.
Chu Yao probably already knew who the person who sneaked into the room was.
Qing nobles.
Soon, the Qing nobles left.
Chu Yao lay on the bed for a long time before he got up, stood for a while in the direction where the Qing nobleman had just stayed, hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled.
The white jade rabbit given by Su Chuting and Su Chuqing is gone, but there are more things.
He lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then had a plan.
……
The next day, when she got up to greet the Queen Mother, she noticed that the Queen Mother seemed to be very unhappy.
In the palace, all the concubines did not dare to raise their heads or squeak.
Anyway, recently, since the queen's ban was lifted, the queen mother has been unhappy every day.
I don't know how the queen provoked the queen mother.
"Queen, are you guilty?"
As soon as she saw Chu Yao, the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.
Chu Yao's face was calm, his eyes swept over the noble man who was silent with low eyes, and he still held his head high, without the slightest fear: "I don't know what the Queen Mother said?" What is the sin of a concubine? ”
She smiled faintly, and after greeting her, she indifferently walked to her own position: "Although the concubine came later than the sisters, she was not late. If the Queen Mother said that Qin Xiaogongzi fell into the water yesterday, I believe Qin Zhaoyi also heard Qin Xiaogongzi say clearly, he fell into the water by himself, and it has nothing to do with the concubine. ”
straightened his cuffs, went sideways to get the tea, took a sip, and said: "What's more, the queen mother's birthday concubines are no matter how big or small, everything is arranged properly, and the concubines privately think that there is nothing wrong with the queen mother." ”
The concubines couldn't help but gasp.
I have to say that the confidence of people who are pampered is hard.
Chu Yao sometimes looks simple and harmless, well-behaved and easy to speak, but sometimes he dares to choke back even the words of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother slapped the table fiercely: "You still dare to say it!" A few days ago, the mourning family and the concubines of each palace were poisoned, and the mourning family already knew the result. The mourning family will give you another chance, do you admit your guilt or not! ”
Chu Yao smiled coldly, looked sideways, looked at the Queen Mother, and his tone was still light: "Why do you need to admit innocence?" Could it be that the Queen Mother forgot? Last time, the Queen Mother brought someone to Ninghe Palace to arrest the assassin, but what happened to her? If there is no evidence, it is better not to jump to conclusions. ”
There was a slight threat in his tone.
