"It's fine."

Bo Zhaoxu nodded in agreement.

……

Xiang Yeqi changed his route to take Wu Zixi's carriage, looked around, and was a little curious: "Why don't you see the Queen Mother?" She didn't rush back to the capital with you? ”

What she asked was exactly what Yingyan had thought about for a long time and didn't dare to ask.

If she asked, it would seem that she only cared about her previous master, and she didn't care about Xiang Yeqi, even if it was to make Xiang Yeqi feel comfortable, she didn't dare to ask these questions at will.

Wu Zixi sighed and opened the somewhat dusty carriage door curtain without saying a word.

The person who was injured and lying in the carriage was none other than the queen who had not been seen for a long time.

Ying Yan exclaimed in fright: "Niangniang! You-"

She hurriedly covered her mouth, for fear that she would disturb the queen, who was still resting.

But the queen is a shallow person, and after listening to the movement just now, she didn't react at all. She no longer closed her eyes to rest, barely cheered up and stood up, her breath weak: "What's wrong?" ”

The queen's abdomen was wrapped around several circles of linen, and some blood oozed from the cloth from time to time, and because of this wound, the queen only put a coat on her shoulders.

Even Xiang Yeqi was very worried: "Queen Mother, what's going on?" Did the Hu people make a move when you rushed back to the capital? ”

The queen shook her head, pointed to her neck again, as if there was a wound that was not very obvious, and said indifferently: "Let her tell you." ”

Wu Zixi did not rush to explain, but urged Xiang Yeqi and Yingyan to get into the carriage.

It's a matter of keeping the pestle at the city gate.

"I traveled to the southwest with the Queen Mother, and it was still peaceful there, and even the bandits were much less than elsewhere, perhaps because the people there were more difficult to provoke than elsewhere. But even in that generation, I often heard that the recent days were not peaceful, and sooner or later the country of China was going to war with the state of Hu...... But what happened to the war, it didn't affect me and the Queen Mother, let alone rush back to the capital, but it was dangerous. ”

Wu Zixi said as he took out a few boxes of pastries purchased outside from the secret box in the inner room of the carriage and handed them to Xiang Yeqi: "I know you like this." ”

"Thank you." Xiang Yeqi handed the pastry box to Yingyan.

"But the village where I and the queen mother settled somehow killed a group of Hu people, burned and looted in the village, and robbed the villagers' grain reserves, which is really not a good thing. Thinking that they were not manpowered, the Empress Dowager sent guards to stop those people from committing murder, and only then did she repel the Hu people who entered the village and plundered. ”

Wu Zixi sighed again, looking dissatisfied, "I didn't expect those Hu people to be so cunning, and they secretly released cold arrows when the Empress Dowager had guards, I didn't have time to block the arrows for the Empress Dowager, that's it......"

She secretly clenched her fists, and remorseful words: "Actually, I could have blocked the arrows for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was afraid that those Hu people would recognize me, and if I told Gu Yanchao again, it would be too late to escape." Therefore, I could only hide in the corner, watching the Queen Mother being shot by a dark arrow, it was really not mine. ”

"What a stupid thing to say."

The queen's voice was surprisingly hoarse, and she should have been injured once during this time, "It's me who is careless, and I can blame you for these mistakes?" In any case, it is safe to rush back to Beijing now. ”

Xiang Yeqi turned his gaze, "Then the Queen Mother and the county lord of the Chang Dynasty changed their minds and temporarily changed their routes to return to the capital, are they also worried about this matter?" ”

"Not bad." Wu Zixi nodded, "Those Hu people are so fierce, and the guards of the Queen Mother have also injured a lot, if they are really chased by the sinner Gu Yanchao, we are really not his opponents, if we return to Beijing, there are still guards from my county lord's mansion who can hold on." Night, thanks to the guards you assigned for me and the Queen Mother, I have sheltered you along the way......"

The queen struggled to cheer up: "If it weren't for them, I would have almost killed the county lord." ”

"This is not a big deal, since you have returned to Beijing safely, then rest in the palace first, if there is really anything, you can still take care of each other."

With that, the carriage also stopped at the foot of the palace wall.

Wu Zixi said: "Night, I first went back to the palace with the queen mother to rest." I'll do it when you're done with some of the things you're doing. ”

Xiang Yeqi nodded, but she had nothing to do other than explain where the coachman parked the carriage. After entrusting this, she saw Yingyan stunned behind her, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

No wonder she felt like she was following something from behind her.

"Yingyan, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Yeyan smiled, "It's rare for the Queen Mother to go back to Beijing once, and she was so seriously injured, why don't you go and see her?" ”

Ying Yan seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying, her face was as pale as paper, and her face was as thin as a piece of paper at first glance.

If you just look at Yingyan's expression, it is like being interrogated and tortured by Xiang Yeqi.

And Xiang Yeqi was just gossiping with her without hurt.

After a long time, Ying Yan suddenly spoke: "Niangniang, my subordinates feel that they seem to have done something wrong, and I ask Niangniang to punish me." ”

"How?"

"Your subordinates shouldn't be so concerned about the Queen Mother in front of you, or even mess up the etiquette, you, you are now the master of your subordinates."

Yingyan was extremely nervous today, and her words were also disorderly: "Niangniang, my subordinates see that you have been a little absent-minded since the beginning, as if you are in a bad mood, and your subordinates think about it carefully, it must be because your subordinates care too much about the Queen Mother, and they have lost some weight, so they will make you unhappy......"

Where and where is this?

But where did you look unhappy?

"Yingyan, I know that when I say this, you will definitely think that I am saying crazy things, or I am just using it to comfort you, but I tell you truthfully to Yeqi - I don't think you and I have a master-servant relationship, at least I don't think you need to die for me, and you don't need to look down on yourself to be humble, you must erase all your own thoughts to be right."

Xiang Yeqi put his hand on Yingyan's trembling shoulder, and said softly: "Maybe I look really sad, but the Queen Mother does treat me very well, and the county lord of the Chang Dynasty is also a friend who can make friends with me. ”

"Mother, you don't understand ......"

Ying Yan was a little reluctant: "There are subordinates in this world, who are destined to be slaves of others from birth, not because the master is good, he can change his life." Niangniang treats her subordinates so well, and her subordinates are still thinking about the previous master in front of you, which is unreasonable, so her subordinates are willing to be punished by Niangniang. ”

"You say you girl, why do you like to drill the horns so much? Did that guy Nan Chen take advantage of my absence to instill some fallacies in you? ”

Xiang Yeqi didn't come anywhere, and waved his hand at Yingyan helplessly: "Forget it, I'll teach you well in the evening, you accompany me to see how the queen's injuries are doing, they are in a hurry to return to Beijing, and they shouldn't have time to bandage their wounds." ”

Ying Yan responded very happily.

Going to the side hall where Wu Zixi lived earlier, Ying Yan covered her mouth and nose very nervously, and said worriedly: "Niangniang, my subordinates always feel that they smell something strange, you should be careful." ”

Not only did Yingyan smell it, but even Xiang Yeqi smelled a strange smell of turbidity, as if many unbearable unpleasant smells were mixed together.

Xiang Yeqi: "I heard that Zhaohua doesn't often live in the palace, and sometimes she takes the obvious girls of the Chang Dynasty back to the county lord's mansion to live, maybe she bought something and put it in the palace, but she forgot it." ”

"Now the girls in the palace are really not as good as the queen mother, they always want to cheat and play tricks, not to mention, even such a big weird smell is left alone, and their subordinates really have to train them well another day."

Yingyan was full of complaints, and before the two of them had taken a few steps, they ran out with their mouths covered and Wu Zixi collided head-on.

Wu Zixi was definitely not such a reckless character, he should have been frightened, he didn't even explain, he squatted in the corner and retched while holding on to the red wall, trembling.

"What about the Queen Mother?" Ask Nightshade.

Wu Zixi was almost completely paralyzed by the wall, and his mind wandered: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother...... When I entered the palace, I first sent the Queen Mother to the Tai Hospital for treatment. ”

What is there in this palace that scares Wu Zixi like this?

Xiang Yeyan subconsciously felt that there was something to do with that strange smell, and immediately ran to the palace, turned his head and shouted to Yingyan: "Yingyan, you take good care of the county lord of the Chang Dynasty here, I will go first to see what is in the palace, and when someone from the palace comes over, you will entrust the county lord of the Chang Dynasty to her to see me!" ”

Faintly, she seemed to hear Wu Zixi dissuade herself from going in.

In order to calmly face up to this strange smell, Xiang Yeqi didn't dare to breathe, and crossed the threshold with his scalp pulse.

……

But what do you think, compared to this cloudy smell, the scene in front of you is even more unacceptable.

Many girls in palace dresses fell in pools of blood, looking miserable, and many of them didn't even have time to close their eyes, they were splashed with their own blood, and what they saw was a human tragedy at all.

Xiang Yeqi suddenly felt that Wu Zixi's reaction was already very strong, and after changing himself, he couldn't help but squat beside the moon gate to ease the churning heart and lungs.

Yingyan's footsteps approached, "Niangniang! ”

Rao is Yingyan saw such a terrifying scene, and he was also stunned in place, gritting his teeth to pick up Xiang Yeqi: "Niangniang, you get up first, and your subordinates will find some people to clean up the mess." ”

Xiang Yeqi felt that his face at this time should be white and terrifying.

She coughed twice and said, "I'm standing firm, you hurry up and see if there is any alive, now, I can save one by one." ”
