Chapter 44: The Invitation
Hey, isn't this Ji Yunhui lying at the door? Yun Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, what was she peeking at?
Qin Yuning took a step forward in the dawn, patted Ji Yunhui's shoulder with one hand, and quickly covered Ji Yunhui's mouth with the other, hiding her scream.
Ji Yunhui's horrified gaze patted her chest after seeing that it was Qin Yuning, and glared at Qin Yuning complainingly, clearly saying in her eyes, I almost scared you to death.
Qin Yuning pursed her lips and smiled, put down her hand, patted Ji Yunhui's shoulder again and pointed behind at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Ji Yunhui looked back and hurriedly curtsied, but did not speak.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded clearly and motioned for her to be excused.
Ji Yunhui gave up her position and motioned for Yun Xiaoxiao to look in.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't refuse, he leaned over suspiciously, and secretly looked inside.
On the right side of the house is a half-open screen window, and the dark brown carved latticework is decorated with silk satin silk flowers, as if it were a real climbing plant growing on the lattice.
A woman stood in front of the window and secretly knelt down in front of the cold cold moon, praying quietly in her mouth.
"I hereby pray to the moon god with a sincere heart, I have exchanged my life for the safety of the queen mother, please be sure to let the queen mother spend it safely, even if I want to reduce my life for a few years."
After she finished speaking, she knocked her head a few times.
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but squint her eyes as she looked at the woman's familiar back, what did she do this for?
And Qin Yuning and Ji Yunhui came to her just to see her?
She didn't believe that the two of them were so boring, there must be a reason, what was the reason?
It didn't take long for Yun Dawn to understand why this woman was pretending to be here.
Because in the shadows behind the woman, a man slowly stepped forward.
Yun Xiaoxiao squinted and looked closely, hey, it turned out to be the emperor Nangong Qing, when did the emperor come here?
Yun Xiaoxiao looked back at Qin Yuning, made a gesture to leave first, and secretly walked back, Qin Yuning didn't stay to look, so he reached out and pulled Ji Yunhui and followed Yun Xiaoxiao and retreated lightly.
Ji Yunhui's mouth opened and closed a few times, looking like she was still watching a play, but Yun Xiaoxiao and Qin Yuning left without looking back, she thought about it and retreated.
"When did the emperor come over?" Walking to a place where no one was afraid of hearing the people inside, Yun Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice.
"As soon as the emperor came in, she pretended not to know and came in to pray." Qin Yuning also replied in a low voice.
"Well, I see, thank you for telling me." Yun Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude very sincerely.
This is Qin Yuning's surrender to her, how could she not express it.
Qin Yuning saw with her own eyes how she treated the queen mother, she worked so hard to get the idea of the emperor Nangong Qing, how could she give people a few words to erase her credit, so as soon as she found out about it, she immediately asked Ji Yunhui to follow, and she went back to inform Yun Xiaoxiao.
Isn't she doing this like Yun Xiaoxiao and Chengcheng?
Of course, Yun Xiaoxiao thanked her.
"Let's go back." Nangong Qing is not a stupid person, if she is given such a few words of prayer, it will hook her soul, she doesn't want it, and said to Qin Yuning at the moment.
So the three of them quietly returned to the main hall and sat with the other concubines who came to wait for news.

"What? Can the queen drink medicine? Didn't you just say you couldn't drink it? Why are you drinking it now? Check it out. ”
"Yes." A hurried footstep faded away.
Mrs. Li's eyebrows raised slightly, and she thought coldly and solemnly, Okay, you Cheng Lingyue, such a sudden serious illness can't kill you, it seems that she really wants to ......
Mrs. Li's black-dyed eyes flashed with the cold glow of a gloomy, and she looked at the dim night with a fierce face, secretly thinking about what to do to replace the queen......
Xiufang stood quietly on the side, not even daring to breathe, as if she was a decoration, she stood aside obediently, waiting for Mrs. Li's orders at any time.
"Niangniang, Concubine De Niangniang is here." A father-in-law on duty peeked at Xiufang with his waist, Xiufang made a gesture that you should be careful, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and whispered a report.
"Oh, my sister is here, welcome quickly." Mrs. Li suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly greeted Xiufang out.
Concubine De walked in briskly with the support of the palace maid Jinxiu.
Her delicate face was in a hurry, and she looked hurriedly looking for the figure of Madame Li.
"Sister, do you know the news that the queen is seriously ill? I heard that the emperor also promised to stay in the middle palace and waited until the queen's condition stabilized before leaving. ”
Concubine De didn't wait for Mrs. Li's answer, and then continued.
"Isn't it stipulated in the palace that the emperor can't stay in the palace with sick concubines? No matter who is sick, for the sake of the emperor's dragon body, the emperor can't be allowed to stay in the ward, if the emperor is involved, how can he do it? This has never happened before. ”
"Yes, my sister is right, no matter who is sick, the emperor can go to visit, but he can't stay overnight." Mrs. Li's deep eyes suddenly flashed with joy, how could she forget this rule?
"Sister, my sister didn't understand a little, I just heard in the morning that the queen summoned you, and the queen was a little sick at that time? Isn't it strange why at night you suddenly get seriously ill and are still seriously ill that you are almost dying? Concubine De looked at Mrs. Li puzzled, Mrs. Li saw the queen not long ago, isn't it strange that the queen is seriously ill? It's too much of a coincidence.
After Concubine De finished speaking, she secretly looked at Mrs. Li's expression, her eyes flashed, and she didn't know what she was calculating.
Over there, Mrs. Li listened to what Concubine De said, and the doubts that had just sunk came to her mind again, indeed the queen's illness came too suddenly, is there any conspiracy in this?
And when the emperor wanted to stay in her palace, it was really too much of a coincidence.
Mrs. Li's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Sister, we might as well go over and have a look." Mrs. Li thought about it and proposed it to Concubine De.
Concubine De thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, we'll go over now." "Anyway, she came in a sedan chair, and she can walk without preparation.
"Someone, prepare a sedan chair, the palace and Concubine De are going to visit the queen." Mrs. Li thought about it for a while, and suddenly decided to go and see if it was a real illness or a fake illness.
If it's fake, hmph, Cheng Lingyue, just wait, let's see.
Soon Xiufang came back to report that the sedan chair was ready, and Mrs. Li helped Concubine De to go to Kunning Palace together.
"Concubine De Niangniang, Li Niangniang, get up the sedan chair and go to Kunning Palace." As soon as the father-in-law's crisp voice fell, the warm sedan chair was steadily lifted and headed towards the queen's middle palace, Kunning Palace.
