After breakfast the next day, Jiang Zuiyao planned to go to the North Courtyard, she had been thinking about Shaoheng's child in her heart, and she didn't know what was going on.

But as soon as she was halfway there, she heard someone shouting to her: "Young lady, please stay!" ”

Smell the sound and see, it is the subordinate who guards the door.

When the next person ran to his side, he couldn't wait to say: "Young lady, go to the gate of the mansion and take a look, there is someone in the palace." ”

Jiang Zuiyao asked puzzledly, "What are people from the palace doing?" ”

The servant shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, I just heard that the eunuch in the palace asked you to hurry up." ”

I looked in the direction of the North Courtyard and thought about going to see what was going on, and it was not too late to go to the North Courtyard again.

When Jiang Zuiyao arrived at the door, he saw Shaojiang and Grandpa Cui standing together talking, and Grandpa Cui saw Jiang Zuiyao and hurriedly walked over and said, "Young lady, you can come, you will enter the palace with the servants." ”

"Entering the palace? What to do in the palace? Jiang Zuiyao asked suspiciously.

Father-in-law Cui said anxiously: "The Queen Mother has something important to summon, don't delay, you can go with the slave." ”

Jiang Zuiyao thought about it, but she really couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was looking for her, and Shaojiang on the side said: "Since it is summoned by the Queen Mother, don't delay, go quickly." ”

The Queen Mother's order Jiang Zuiyao naturally couldn't resist, so she could only follow Grandpa Cui to the outside of the mansion, stepping on the threshold of the mansion, and Grandpa Cui said fairly: "The Empress Dowager only let the young lady enter the palace alone, and others don't have to follow." ”

Jiang Zuiyao turned around and looked, it turned out that it was Gonggong Cui and Li Yan talking.

In this way, she subconsciously glanced at Shaojiang, she knew that Li Yan was Shaojiang's eyeliner secretly inserted by her side, and it seemed that she was also curious about why the Queen Mother summoned her.

entered the sedan chair alone, and with the sound of Grandpa Cui's "sedan chair", he went in the direction of the palace.

The sedan chair walked so fast that when it arrived at the gate of the palace, several tired sedan chair men were sweating profusely.

On the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom, Father-in-law Cui walked very fast, and Jiang Zuiyao said: "Father-in-law walks slowly, I can't keep up." ”

Father-in-law Cui said anxiously: "Madam, the Queen Mother has passed on that you have an urgent matter, and the slave does not dare to delay." ”

This made Jiang Zuiyao even more puzzled, what is the urgency of the Queen Mother?

After entering the dormitory, Jiang Zuiyao saw the Queen Mother lying on the chaise longue with the Seventh Princess kneeling at her feet, and the Seventh Princess cried into tears, begging: "Queen Mother, I beg you, return the child to me." ”

The Queen Mother just lay there with her eyes closed, ignoring the Seventh Princess, as if she hadn't heard.

Jiang Zuiyao's heart trembled suddenly, could it be that the Queen Mother passed her because of the child of the Seventh Princess?

Father-in-law Cui stepped forward at this time and said, "Queen Mother, the young lady of the Shao family has arrived." ”

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Zuiyao, who saluted and said, "The concubine sees the Queen Mother." ”

At this time, I saw the seventh princess crawling to Jiang Zuiyao's feet, grabbing her arm and pleading: "Jiang Zuiyao, I beg you, please help me persuade the Queen Mother to return my child to me." ”

Jiang Zuiyao was startled, looking at the seventh princess with tears in her eyes, she hurriedly helped the seventh princess and said, "The princess is noble, and the concubine can't stand your kneeling, get up quickly." ”

The seventh princess shook her head frantically, grabbed Jiang Zuiyao tightly and cried: "I know you are a good person, I beg you, you help me!" The Queen Mother has always liked you, I beg you, let me return the child after elimination, I beg you! ”

The child of the seventh princess has been staying in Zuiyao Pavilion, originally said that it would be good for the seventh princess to go to Zuiyao Pavilion for confinement, but the seventh princess did not go for a long time, and in the future, she took advantage of her absence to take the child away in a hurry, something must have happened during this period.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the seventh princess who had lost a lot of weight, her face was pale and bloodless, and she knew that she had not cultivated her body well in the confinement, and she could only comfort the queen mother when she was there: "Seventh princess, you get up first, and you have to tell me what happened." ”

As soon as the seventh princess was about to speak, the queen mother ordered: "Gonggong Cui, send the seventh princess back to the prime minister's mansion." ”

"Don't! No! When the seventh princess heard this, she was like crazy, and let go of Jiang Zuiyao and kowtowed to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, I beg you, you have always loved me the most, you can't treat me like this, I beg you, give me back the child, I beg you!" ”

The seventh princess's forehead slammed on the ground again and again, and when the words fell, her forehead was already red, and Jiang Zuiyao couldn't bear to look at it.

But the Queen Mother replied indifferently: "Everything is for your good, go back, the mourning family has its own arrangements." ”

"Queen Mother! I beg you! ”

The Queen Mother frowned irritably, and gave Gonggong Cui beside her a look, Gonggong Cui hurriedly called the guards in, and dragged the seventh princess out with a hard pull.

Jiang Zuiyao listened to the hysterical voice of the seventh princess gradually moving away, and she pursed her lips distressedly.

The Queen Mother glanced at Jiang Zuiyao coldly, and her voice was cold: "What? Distressed? ”

Faced with the Queen Mother's question, Jiang Zuiyao did not lie and nodded.

The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "If it weren't for the mourning family liking you as a child, would you still be able to stand here and talk to the mourning family?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao suddenly raised her head to meet the Queen Mother's eyes, not knowing what the Queen Mother meant by this.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother gave the answer: "On the day of the princess's wedding, it is a big crime to deceive the royal family by delivering the princess without permission!" ”

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but tremble in her heart, according to her guess, the Queen Mother should have known that the Seventh Princess was pregnant, but why did she say that?

Jiang Zuiyao knew that there were some things that she shouldn't ask, but she still asked: "What happened to the Queen Mother to the child of the Seventh Princess?" ”

It's just a simple question, but it is enough to displease the Queen Mother: "If you shouldn't know, don't ask too much, it's not a good thing to know too much." ”

Standing in place and staring intently at the incomparably noble woman in front of her, the traces of time remain in the corners of her eyes, and although she can't see her old age under the well-maintained skin, she hides something that makes people retreat and dare not get close.

She wondered if the Queen Mother in front of her wanted to take away the Seventh Princess's child, so the Seventh Princess went to the Drunken Yao Pavilion and hurriedly picked up her child.

From today, it can be seen that the seventh princess did not escape from the palm of the queen mother.

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to what Jiang Zuiyao was thinking, and said lightly: "Later, when Xian'er comes back, I will go out with him to do something." ”

"What's the matter?" , Jiang Zuiyao's voice was a little cold, and it was no longer as approachable as at the beginning.

The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes and replied lazily: "Go to the north." ”

Suddenly, Jiang Zuiyao was slightly startled: "What are you going to do in Beifu?" ”

The Queen Mother still replied lightly: "Xian'er will make it clear to you, the things you need on the road are ready for you, go straight to the road." ”

All this came too suddenly, how could Jiang Zuiyao feel at ease, why did she let her go to the north?
