"Are you dead?" Nan Xueyu raised her eyebrows, her expression did not change in the slightest, such a result seemed to be expected by her, "Count her smart, otherwise she will be pointed out by thousands of people when she lives, and she will die happily." "Any woman, after being humiliated like that, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live anymore, this Cairui's temperament can be regarded as fierce.

Qi Ling was a little uneasy, her lips moved, and she peeked at her master's unkind face and didn't dare to speak.

"What, think I'm ruthless?" Nan Xueyu looked back at her, her eyes were ssolemn, "Qiling, are you fighting for Cairui?" "Ruthless or poisonous, she doesn't think she is at fault, Cairui has to provoke her, she now has the ability to return to others in the way of others, why don't you do it."

"No," Qi Ling hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the third lady's precautions, now this person who is worse than death, but it's you, the third miss, the slave maid didn't fight for Cairui, the slave maid wondered if the second lady and the second miss would guess that it was the third lady who taught Cairui a lesson?"

"What if you know?" Nan Xueyu sneered mockingly, "What can they do to me!" At this time, Xie Yilian's mother and daughter are more and more untreated by their fathers, and they are still too busy to take care of themselves, what can they do to her, not to mention that since she was reborn, she will no longer be afraid of them, she is scheming, they are far behind in this life!

Qi Ling was silent for a while, and secretly said that the third miss knew in her heart, at most she was more guarded, if there was any danger, she would protect the third miss desperately, that is.

The two were silent, and Dong Yi came in to report, saying that someone from the palace was coming, and the Queen Mother wanted to summon Nan Xueyu and ask her to enter the palace immediately.

Nan Xueyu rubbed her brows, knowing that it must be that on this rainy day, the Queen Mother was suffering from leg disease again, and asked her to enter the palace to treat her. "Got it, you go back, I'll go. ”

Dong Yi agreed, turned around and went out.

Qiling hurriedly combed Nan Xueyu's hair, and brought a set of plain clothes to help her change in, because the Queen Mother has a quiet temperament and does not like luxury, so every time she enters the palace, Nan Xueyu will pay special attention to it, and dress up simply and generously, without being too showy. This set of clothes is a plain white long brocade robe, the cuffs and placket are embroidered with some branches with dark zong-colored silk threads, dotted with a few pale pink flowers, and a plain white wide-brimmed belt outlines her delicate and delicate waist, which looks elegant but luxurious, just right.

Dressed up, Qi Ling took a mirror, looked back and forth to Nan Xueyu, and finally praised sincerely, "The third lady is naturally beautiful, she really looks good in everything, just ...... "Actually, she wanted to say that just like the eldest lady, even if she didn't have to dress up deliberately, she was beautiful and didn't eat the fireworks in the world, but she also knew in her heart that the third miss had not been able to come out of the shadow of the eldest lady's tragic death, and she didn't want to stimulate her anymore, so she changed her words when the words came to her mouth.

Nan Xueyu's expression did not change, I don't know if I didn't hear the loss in her words, or I don't want her to worry, so she got up and said, "I went into the palace, when I'm not there, don't make trouble, just take care of Nuanxiang Pavilion, you know?"

"Yes, Miss Three. Qi Ling hurriedly agreed, originally wanted to follow and protect the master, but since it was summoned by the Queen Mother, those people didn't dare to do anything to the master, so they didn't insist.

——

This time into the palace, Nan Xueyu was wrong, the Queen Mother was so anxious to summon her, not because of her leg disease, because after her diagnosis and treatment these days, the Queen Mother's leg disease has been greatly reduced, and she takes medicine according to her prescription every day, the pain can be completely controlled within the tolerable range, so the Queen Mother did not call her into the palace frequently, this time it was so urgent, it was completely because of another thing.

"The courtier, Nan Xueyu, has seen the Queen Mother. In Fushou Palace, as soon as Nan Xueyu saw the face of the Queen Mother, she knelt down and saluted, her expression was respectful and indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, as far as she could see, she found that Murong Ye was also there, and she couldn't help but feel inexplicably warm in her heart, and saluted him, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yue." ”

"Don't be polite, get up," the Queen Mother looked solemn, and her face was even more faintly angry, "Xue Yu, the mourning family summoned you to the palace today, there is something to ask you, you have to answer the mourning family truthfully, understand?"

Nan Xueyu's heart sank: Except for the first time when she was summoned, the Queen Mother was cold to herself, and she had never been as cold and stern as she is now, could it be that she made some mistake and angered the Queen Mother? Thinking about it carefully, she has not made any mistakes recently, even if she has a ruthless move, she is only limited to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she will not be soft on dealing with her enemies, and the Queen Mother may not know about these things, even if she knows, she should not have a position to accuse her, right? So, what is it? Yes, the queen mother, the courtiers must know everything, and they must say everything. ”

"Xue Yu, you don't have to be afraid," Murong Ye seemed to see her concerns, and reminded her, "What the queen mother asks, you answer truthfully, the queen mother has her own opinions." ”

Nan Xueyu turned her eyes to look at him, only to find that his face was also serious, and her heart became more and more strange, could something bad really happen?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Murong Ye, but her expression softened a little, "The mourning family just asked Xue Yu a few words, and didn't say what to do with her, what are you anxious to do to protect her!"

Nan Xueyu's face was hot, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered: Listening to the Queen Mother's words, she seemed to know what the night was thinking about her, so would the Queen Mother strongly oppose it and accuse her of wishful thinking, or would she directly say it and keep herself away from the night?" "Queen Mother, how can the courtiers be able to do it, His Royal Highness the King of Yue ......" His face was flushed, but he couldn't say it anymore.

"Xue Yu, what the mourning family wants to ask you is, did you know in advance about the problem with the Huaihe embankment?" The queen mother looked straight, and finally got down to business, but it turned out to be for this! Today, Murong Ye reported this matter to her, she was really shocked and angry, and she couldn't believe it! The Huaihe embankment was praised even by the previous emperor, how could the embankment burst when it burst?

But Murong Ye was very sure, because he had sent Qi Ye to the Huai River to investigate, and what he got was that what Lin Yuanbai said was true, the embankment was indeed broken in several places, and if the water level of the Huai River continued to rise, the breaking of the embankment would be an unstoppable thing! Once this matter was confirmed, of course he knew that it was not trivial, so he continued to report to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother knew that the Huai River Dam was related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, and she couldn't take it lightly, since Nan Xueyu knew about this matter first, of course she had to ask her to understand, and Murong Yao, as the supervisor of the Huai River Dam, was also summoned, and I believe it would arrive soon.

It turned out to be for this matter, so it would be easy to do. Nan Xueyu secretly said ashamed, she was only busy with her own affairs in the past two days, and she ignored this matter, but because she knew it in her heart, she quickly stabilized her mind and said respectfully, "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers didn't know in advance, but they happened to pass by the Yiwang Mansion and saw that Lord Shoulin of Jianghuai County was beaten out, and the courtiers listened to his words and guessed that the matter might be more serious, so they made their own decisions and went to see His Royal Highness King Yue with him." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, how sharp her mind was, how could she not hear that Nan Xueyu's words were half-truths and half-falses, but what she believed was that no matter how true or false these words were, she believed that Nan Xueyu was for the people of Jianghuai, otherwise she could ignore it and let the situation develop. "Since you and Ye'er both said so, then it seems that there is indeed a problem with the Huai River embankment, how does this Yao'er do things, it really makes the mourning family feel uneasy, I have to ask him later!"

Nan Xueyu and Murong Ye glanced at each other, and a thought crossed their hearts at the same time: Murong Yao would not admit it, otherwise it would not be him.

Not long after, Murong Yao hurriedly came in, knelt down and saluted, "The son saw the queen mother, I don't know what the queen mother is in a hurry to summon the son, what are the instructions?" What made him even more uncertain was that Murong Ye and Nan Xueyu were also there, could it be that they arranged themselves in front of the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, and she didn't tell him to get up, and said in a deep voice, "Yao'er, the mourning family asked you, did you ask to see you a few days ago?"

As soon as he heard the word "Jianghuai", Murong Yao secretly said that it was not good, and at the same time, he was even more annoyed: How could the queen mother know about the affairs of Jianghuai County? He obviously asked people to beat Lin Yuanbai out and drive him out of the capital as soon as possible, how could he ...... "this...... The queen mother, the sons don't know, there is such a thing?" He knew too well the seriousness of the matter, so he came to push three two five, and did not admit that Lin Yuanbai had seen him, so it was none of his business.

"I don't know?" there was obvious anger in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she sneered, "Yao'er, until now, you still dare to deceive the mourning family?" Lin Yuanbai begged to see you, but you knocked him out of the mansion, many people saw it with their own eyes, do you still want to deny it?"

Murong Yao was taken aback, and his face changed: The queen mother knew so clearly? Could it be ...... He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said, "The queen mother has clearly investigated, and the sons really don't know, maybe...... Maybe the son is not in the house, but the people are rude, and after the son goes back, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and the queen mother will be angry!"

Nan Xueyu sneered silently: Idiot, this kind of lie is said! Then Lin Yuanbai is the Jianghuai County Guard, and he is an official of the imperial court, if it weren't for you Murong Yao to speak, how could those subordinates in your mansion dare to do something to him-unless they deliberately embarrass you, so that others don't know, you have counter-intentions!

Of course, the Queen Mother also knew that he was shirking his responsibility, so she turned white angrily, and slammed her palm on the arm of the chair, "Yao'er, you are too childish! Do you know what Lin Yuanbai is asking to see you for?"

Nonsense, of course I know, otherwise how could I not see him! Murong Yao was impatient in his heart, and when he saw that Murong Ye and Nan Xueyu were clearly gloating, he couldn't wait to see him play, he became more and more angry, and his tone was a little hard, "Erchen doesn't know, please make it clear to the queen mother!" Nan Xueyu, let this king know that you are destroying this king, and this king will definitely let you beg for death, you wait!
