The palace maid who had already followed her took out a small purse, and I don't know how much it contained, so she handed it over: "Niangniang rewarded Gonggong Li for drinking tea." ”

"Thank you, mother." Li Neijian took it: "The old slave has to go back, I don't know when the emperor called the old slave." ”

After saying that, he hurried back.

Along the way, the queen's mother and son were all worried, no one said anything, as soon as they returned to the middle palace, Mrs. Zhu, who came out to greet her, patted her chest and said, "Oops! Thank God! It's safe and sound! Niangniang didn't know, when she heard the news at first glance, it was someone who intended to poison and kill the king, and the concubine almost fainted in fright! Later, it was said that it was the poison of the Qing girl, and the concubine's heart was suspended in the air! sent people to investigate non-stop, and finally the Qing girl was clever, not only proving her innocence, but also finding out the Su Guifei behind the scenes! This is also the blessing of the mother and His Royal Highness the Prince, how can the villain succeed? ”

When she returned to her palace, the queen seemed to be relaxed, changed her clothes, leaned on the big pillow, and smiled slightly: "It's not!" Even Bengong didn't expect that Miss Qing would follow her out while making tea! Presumably Miss Qing has already seen some signs, right? ”

Qingjuan found that there was something wrong with Concubine Su's eyes, as well as the strangeness of changing the tea, and was puzzled, so she went out and said all these things, and Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth when she heard it: "This little slut!" I still want to kill the king! If you can't do it, you have to frame others! It's really innocent! ”

"That's it," the queen waved her hand: "It's all over, fortunately nothing happened, and there is no need to mention these words in the future." The poor thing is the fourth prince, at a young age, she has always been pampered by her mother, and now when this change happens, this child doesn't know if he can bear it? As he spoke, he called the inner eunuch to come: "Pick out all kinds of good things and send them to the four princes." Then tell the people in the palace that if they lack anything, they don't have to go to the internal affairs office to get it, just come and tell the palace. You must take care of it well, and you can't make the four princes have any lack. If there is any change in the condition, you have to come to the palace immediately. ”

The inner prison agreed. Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "With the queen mother so benevolent, the four princes can't be grateful." ”

"Hey, looking at this kid is distressing enough, I'm his mother, shouldn't I worry about it more?"

Seeing that the queen showed a tired face, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly stood up and said: "Today, Niangniang is also frightened and hard, so the concubine will retire first, and the next day Niangniang's spirit will be better, and the concubine will enter the palace again to ask for peace." ”

The queen didn't keep it, but just smiled and said: "I'm really tired of Miss Qing today, and the spirit of this palace is not good, so I can't keep you anymore." I'll come back in a few days to talk to the palace. ”

Qingwan was also busy agreeing. The prince hurriedly smiled and said, "Erchen went to see off his aunt and uncle." ”

The two couldn't refuse, so they had to let the prince send them out of the middle palace, and after watching them go, Fang came back and said, "Queen Mother, it doesn't matter what your body is, right?" ”

"As long as you can do it well, the queen mother will be fine," Seeing that there were no outsiders left and right, Queen Zhu took her son's hand, sighed lightly, and said heartily: "Emperor, Concubine Su has been close to you since she was a child, and the queen mother is sometimes really afraid that you will fall for her." But after all these years, it seems that you still have a plan in your heart. ”

"Queen Mother, it's too unbearable for you to think of your son." The prince smiled: "Don't look at it for more than ten years, Erchen and Concubine Su have always had a good relationship, but what kind of person she is, Erchen knows it clearly, every time she sends something, she asks them to destroy it quietly after accepting it." But there's no handle, you can't change your face, right? It's hard to do it in a hurry, so you have to find the right time slowly. ”

"My emperor has really grown up." The queen smiled with relief: "The queen mother didn't expect that your thoughts are all hidden. ”

"Haven't you always taught your sons that your mind should not be visible to the outside?"

"Hear what the girl meant, your father is already irretrievable," the queen looked serious: "Emperor, at this time, you must be even more energetic, and you must not relax in the slightest." Be prepared for everything, and when that day comes, there must be no mistakes! ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother!" The prince said in a low voice: "It turns out that there is a fourth brother, and things are still a little tricky, and the current situation should be safe." ”

"That's good." Empress Zhu nodded: "The queen mother believes in you, you can do anything." ”

This mother-son secret conversation, Mrs. Zhu, who has been out of the middle palace gate, naturally has no way of knowing, getting into the carriage, Mrs. Zhu seems to be in a very good mood, talking and laughing: "I heard that a new silk village has been opened, on this street, the goods that come in are excellent, please ask Miss Qing to accompany me to buy a few things another day." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and pointed out.

Qingwan also looked in the direction she pointed, it didn't matter, weren't Hanguan and Wan Jian in front of a restaurant on the side of the road?

"Madam, forgive me for getting out of the car first." Qingwan hurriedly said.

Mrs. Zhu was puzzled: "What, what's the matter with Miss Qing?" ”

"My brother came out for some reason, I have to go and see him."

"They are all young children, and it is common for them to come out for a drink, why is Miss Qing so anxious?" Mrs. Zhu disagreed.

Qingwan naturally couldn't express her doubts about Wan Jian, but said: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and my father and mother miss him very much, if I have time, I will take him home to take a look, and I just care about drinking by myself!" ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled: "Then just follow Miss Qing." ”

It wasn't until she got off the carriage that Qingwan found that after such a while, her younger brother and Wan Jian had disappeared!

She hurriedly entered the restaurant, and a guy greeted her warmly: "This girl, is it booked in advance?" ”

"No, I'm looking for someone." Qingwan told the appearance of his younger brother and Wan Jian: "In which room are these two guests eating and drinking?" ”

"Oh," said the fellow with a smile, "the two sons you said had just left!" ”

"Gone?" Qingwan was shocked and said, "I just saw them in front of the restaurant, so they have finished eating?" ”

"Not really! These two guests came early and have already eaten all morning! ”

Qingwan's heart immediately hung high, she knew that her brother had always been a poor drinker, and he rarely ate with others, let alone ate all morning, why was he so happy?

"Do you know where these two sons have gone?"

"How can the little one know?" The guy said with a smiling face: "But it seems to be going due east!" ”

Not daring to delay for a moment, Qingwan hurriedly came out and walked in the direction he said.

A cold wind blew, almost penetrating the bones, but Qingwan's footsteps were extremely hurried, the more she walked, the more panicked she became, the east direction of the restaurant was a remote path, what are you doing here?

Walking and walking, there are two small alleys in front of him, both of which are extremely narrow, and the neighborhood is deserted.

"Help!"

Suddenly, there was a shout, and Qingwan suddenly trembled: it was clearly Hanguan's voice!

As if it came from the right, she hurriedly ran into this alley, and as soon as she entered, she saw Han Guanzheng and Wan Jian twisting together, and her younger brother was weak, obviously having the upper hand.

At the last moment, a sword light suddenly slashed down from the air, separating the two instantly. Immediately, a vigorous figure descended from the sky like lightning and stood in the middle of the two.

"Second brother!" Seeing this familiar figure, Qingwan couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and shouted.

"Where did this wild boy come from, and he dares to do something bad to me!" Wan Jian, who fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and immediately stood up again, holding a dagger in his hand, and was about to rush forward again.

With a quick hand, with a slight flick of the situation, the dagger fell in response!

"You nameless rats, how can you get close to me!" The tip of the sword went straight to the throat of the other party, and Hanguang sneered: "Say!" Why do you want to harm my brother! ”

"Are you Wei Hanguan's younger brother?" Wan Jian fell to the ground, his eyes flashed: "Hero, you spare me!" I'm also confused for a while, the hero is on top, I don't dare anymore! ”

"Hmph, forgive me for not being that bold!"

At this moment when Hanguang raised his head slightly, Wan Jian's left hand moved slightly, and his eyes revealed a fierce killing intent!

"Second brother, be careful!"

Qing Wan only had time to scream, a white light had already flown out of Wan Jian's hand, and between the lightning and flint, only the sound of weapons colliding was heard, and in an instant, it was already shot to the ground!

"Okay, you dare to hurt me with a hidden weapon!" Hanguang turned his right hand, and the tip of the sword had already penetrated the opponent's throat, and Wan Jian fell down in response, and there was no longer a struggle.

"Second brother!"

The elder sister shouted out in unison, and they all hurried to the front, not knowing what to do: "Are you okay?" ”

Hanguang calmly put the sword back: "How can such a villain hurt me?" ”

"It's okay!" Hanguan was shocked: "If you hadn't fallen from the sky, I don't know what would have happened!" ”

"Big brother, as soon as I entered Beijing, I went to Guozijian to look for you, but I inquired about the person at the door, saying that you had just gone to eat and drink with your classmates. It just so happened that I didn't go far, I didn't want to disturb you, so I followed behind, you came out of the restaurant, I saw you drunk, I couldn't let go of my heart, and I saw this thief pulling you to a remote place, and I was even more puzzled, in order not to startle the snake, I quietly followed you, and really pulled you into this dead end, and wanted to attack you! Big brother, you never have a grudge against anyone, how can this be? ”

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts!" Hanguan gritted his teeth and said, "Who would have thought that this traitor would actually harm me!" We went to school together, and we usually called me brothers, and I was very good, and I had no second thoughts about him, and he was very attentive to me, who knew that he would kill me when he got me drunk! ”

"I have reminded you several times that this Wan Jian has taken refuge in the Su family, you have to be on guard, you are always so soft-hearted, treat him as a good brother!" Qingwan couldn't help but complain.
