Yue'er sighed.

"Shouldn't this matter be arranged by the queen, why do you want the queen mother to pass me on personally?"

"Maybe the Queen Mother let the queen pass it on, but she concealed it in private, so the Queen Mother personally sent someone to tell you!"

Yue'er shook her head, she felt in her heart that this was not the case, the queen should not be so bold, but since the queen mother summoned her, she had to go immediately, so she hurriedly packed up and went out to the palace.

Ciming Palace Yue'er has been here once, but this time is different, as soon as she arrived at the door, there were eunuchs and palace maids who came out to greet her, and the leader was actually Zhou Shanggong.

"The Queen Mother is waiting for you upstairs, Niangniang, please come with me."

Zhou Shanggong still has a smiling face, but today he seems much kinder.

Yue'er was a little strange, the weather was good today, the sun was shining very comfortably, why didn't the Queen Mother meet her in the garden, she wanted to meet her upstairs, so she asked in a low voice: "Zhou Shanggong, do you know where the Queen Mother is looking for a concubine?" ”

Zhou Shanggong looked unfathomable.

"Niangniang waited to see the Queen Mother, so she naturally knew."

The two went upstairs, and Zhou Shanggong took Yue'er into a side hall.

This side hall is very warm, but the light is a little dim, Yue'er saw that the windows in this hall are closed, and there are only two lamps hung.

The Queen Mother wore a large-sleeved civilian dress today, and she was half-lying on a soft couch, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was pretending to sleep.

"Queen Mother, Concubine Duan has arrived."

Zhou Shanggong stepped forward to report.

Yue'er immediately knelt down.

"Concubine Duan asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"yes, okay."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Zhou Shanggong bowed and retreated, closing the door from the outside.

Yue'er felt a little uneasy in her heart, what is the matter with the Queen Mother, is she going to talk to herself about a very secret thing?

"The emperor has been recuperating in Anhua Hall recently, but are you okay?"

The Queen Mother's voice was neither thick nor faint, and she couldn't hear anything wrong.

"Yes, Empress Dowager Qiyu, the emperor has been painting and writing for half a month, and he is in a good mood."

"Well, he doesn't have anything else in mind, does he?"

Yue'er's body trembled slightly, it turned out that the Queen Mother was concerned about this, she was afraid that she would arouse the emperor's desire and make Xuan Ling's back pain worse.

"Yes, not yet."

"Very good, you have to wait for your life and don't make any mistakes, do you know, Ling'er went to you, or the idea of mourning the family."

Yue'er's body shook, that day Xuan Ling didn't say that the reason why he wanted to come to Anhua Hall was because he thought he was interesting, so he asked her to sleep by name, how did it become the Queen Mother's idea? But she was only suspicious.

"Thank you Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is very kind, Concubine Duan has nothing to repay, she can only be repaid by being a cow and a horse in the next life."

"Alas, I don't want you to reciprocate, the arrangement of the mourning family is because of the emperor's body, he went to other concubines, and the mourning family is not at ease, only you are there, it can be regarded as assured."

Yue'er's heart sank, it turned out that the Queen Mother was disfigured because of herself, could it be that at the last banquet on Xiaoxue Night, she shouted that she was on stage, so she had this idea?

The Queen Mother sighed.

"Lin Zhaoyi's incident, do you have any opinions on her handling?"

Yue'er was startled, Lin Zhaoyi hurt her twice, it is impossible to say that she doesn't hate, but Lin Zhaoyi's murderous intention was instigated by the palace master of the Qihua Palace.

"This is the disposal of Your Majesty and Zongzheng Mansion, the concubines don't dare, and they have no opinions."

"Well, good, I called you here today to let you see someone?"

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, a cold light suddenly shot out, Yue'er's heart tightened, I don't know who she wants to see by herself, why did she choose herself?

"It is an honor for a concubine to be sent by the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother suddenly pointed to a table next to Yue'er, Yue'er turned her head, and then saw a blue-black vial on the table, which was only the size of a thumb, giving people a cold and ruthless feeling.

"You take it."

"Yes—"

Yue'er took the porcelain vase, a little overwhelmed.

"This is a bottle of Heding Red, do you know what Heding Red is?"

"Ministers and concubines know that this is a highly poisonous thing, and people will die if they take it."

Yue'er's body trembled, the Queen Mother gave her this, it was too unimaginable.

"You go to the court and see how Lin Zhaoyi is doing now."

The Queen Mother's words were like a thunderbolt, so shocked that Yue'er almost fell, it was the Queen Mother who wanted to pardon Lin Zhaoyi, and now she wants to take Hedinghong to see Lin Zhaoyi, is it to let herself kill her, this is incredible!

"Why?"

The Queen Mother did not answer, but leaned back and closed her eyes again.

"The mourning family is sleepy, you can go."

"Yes, yes, but when will the concubine go?"

The Queen Mother still didn't answer, she muttered, "Come and say hello tomorrow morning." She said this to give Yue'er the opportunity to come to ask for peace every day in the future, which was a great gift to the other concubines, but Yue'er was not happy at all.

"Yes, thank you Queen Mother for your grace—"

Yue'er answered, retreated to the door, there was a click outside the door, and then said in a smoking voice: "Queen Mother, yes, are you going to send off guests?" ”

The Queen Mother said lazily: "With smoke, you send Concubine Duan out of the palace." ”

"Yes—"

As soon as the door of the hall opened, Yue'er walked out, her mood was very heavy, and she didn't notice a hint of panic in her smoky eyes.

"The Queen Mother wants to kill Lin Zhaoyi, she is looking for me, just because I can become an outcast, Lin Zhaoyi is dead, I find out that it was my hand, and I will also die, but I can't refuse, if I don't kill Lin Zhaoyi, then the Queen Mother will deal with me, what should I do?"

Yue'er's heart suddenly swelled with an inexplicable sadness, the Queen Mother was generous on the surface, but her scheming was deep, was this a knife to kill someone, or did she nakedly let her be a scapegoat?

When the smoke was delivered to the door, it stopped, and the imperial chariot was still stopped at the door, and one of the eunuchs carrying the imperial chariot bowed to Yue'er.

"Niangniang, where are you going?"

"Go, go to the court, I, I'm going to see someone."

Yue'er didn't know where the court was, she only knew that where something happened in the palace, Zongzheng Mansion could use it to lock people up.

"Yes."

The eunuch didn't ask much, and the commander lifted the chariot and walked westward.

The court is a title, and there is no fixed place, and the Kunxi Hall used to be a court, and those concubines and palace maids who committed crimes would be punished here.

On the royal chariot, Yue'er is very entangled in her heart, if she starts, then she will become a murderer, if she doesn't do it, then she is likely to be the next outcast.

When the imperial chariot stopped, Yue'er was shocked again, because the imperial chariot stopped at the gate of the Baiyu Palace, and she didn't expect that Lin Zhaoyi and her had changed positions now.

The Baiyu Hall has changed a little from half a month ago, the wall has increased in height, and thorns have been inserted, the windows of the courtyard wall have also been sealed, and a thick iron fence has been added to the palace door, and a big lock has been put on, like a cage, she stands at the door, as if in another world.

"What people!"

Several guards walked over, and the head of the guard was tall.

"I'm Concubine Duan, I'm going to go in and have a look."

The head of the guard glanced at Yue'er, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Niangniang, this is now the place where the court detains Qin criminals, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission. "Now the emperor lives in Anhua Hall every day, and Concubine Duan is not something anyone can offend.

Yue'er sighed, and was about to find some excuse to go in, when suddenly a scream came from the courtyard.

"Who, who's out there!"

The voice was sharp and poignant, making the scalp tingle.

Yue'er heard that it was Lin Zhaoyi's voice, and her heart was also tight.

With a snap, a basket flew out of the courtyard and fell in front of them, scattering several nests and pickles on the ground.

"Let me out, let me out, if you don't let me out, I want the emperor to kill you!"

The voice looked like madness, and then there was the sound of shackles slamming on the door, Yue'er said to the chief guard: "Lin Zhaoyi is locked up inside?" ”

The head of the guard nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes, it was the former Zhaoyi Niangniang, but now she is crazy and shouting and screaming inside all day long." ”

Lin Zhaoyi seemed to hear the conversation outside inside, and screamed inside.

"The emperor likes me, he can't live without me!"

"Do you know, harem concubines, none of them are more beautiful than me!"

"Look, look, are my legs beautiful?"
