When the queen heard this, her eyes showed joy, so that she could send people from her clan to southern Xinjiang in a grand manner, although she could not completely hold southern Xinjiang in her hands, but she could monitor the movements of southern Xinjiang from time to time, so that the Su family could not control southern Xinjiang. As for the future, it is necessary to replace the Su family's forces in Xu Xu Tuzhi.

This strategy is really good, the queen looked at Mu Yicen again with satisfaction, this fourth prince has never been in her eyes, this child has died early since he was a child, and there is no foreign race to rely on, and his body is sick and weak, although he grew up in the palace, he has never appeared in front of the emperor, and even until now, he has not even had a title, and he is just the identity of a prince. It's also decent to come to ask for peace on weekdays, not much to say, and not much to do.

But today, it seems that this powerless, powerless and weak prince is her best choice now.

She has no heirs to rely on, rather than letting those powerful princes succeed to the throne, it is better to arch these four princes to the throne, which can be more useful to her in the future.

Mu Yicen knew what the queen was thinking, and he was quietly waiting for the queen to consider.

The queen's own family, the Pang family, has begun to weaken in recent years, and the Lu family and the Su family, the second prince's family, have been growing in power in recent years, and he, the powerless and powerless prince, will be the best choice for the queen.

In the previous life, although the queen also chose him, but it was six years later, six years later, the power of the Su family and the power of the Lu family had grown to the point that it could not be suppressed, and the queen chose him in desperation, but at that time, the power of the two clans was deep-rooted, and the second prince did whatever it took to seize the imperial power.

This time, he asked the queen to choose him in advance, so that he would have more time to strategize and avoid harming the people.

Mu Yicen watched the gaze in the queen's eyes gradually soften, and smiled in his heart.

The queen pretended not to care and said: "This palace is just a woman's family, and I don't understand national affairs, you have a good way to go to the court to play in front of the king, and you don't need to talk to this palace here." ”

She looked at Su Qing who was kneeling below and said, "Even if it is an unintentional mistake, it should be punished." I will punish you, go back and meditate for seven days, and think about it behind closed doors. Even with the daughter of the Li family kneeling outside, the people's livelihood is suffering, and the mind is swaggering with a string of beads and chains, and they also give the palace home to think about the past. ”

"And you," the queen nodded to the princes kneeling in the hall with her hand, "and all go back to the palace and think about it, what kind of truth you read in your book, what the sage said, and what the Taifu said!" ”

This year's royal tangram banquet is finally over, different from the lively and lively scene after the end of previous years, this year, the children of the official family at the first time when the eunuch announced the end of the banquet, honestly and orderly left the palace, served by their own maids, and quietly returned to their respective mansions.

The Li Mansion was not the dignitary's own house, the mansion was quite far away from the palace, and after a lot of twists and turns, it was already dark, and the four young ladies of the Li Mansion returned to the front of the mansion.

The maids waiting at the door hurriedly surrounded them and helped their young lady out of the carriage.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law, Zhou, greeted her and said, "Ladies are working hard, please take a short rest and go to the old lady's room to say goodbye." ”

There is no trivial matter in the palace, every time after the banquet, the four young ladies need to go to the old lady's room, saying that they are asking for peace, but in fact, they want to tell the things that happened at the banquet in detail, so that the second master Li who is in the court thinks about the hidden mysteries.

Green Calyx draped a cloak over Li Jinshu: "Miss, the night is cold, be careful of the cold." ”

He whispered to Li Jinshu's ear: "The slave and maid have also prepared a meal, the young lady will go back with the slave and maid, eat some hot food to cushion her stomach, and go to the old lady's room I don't know how long it will take to come out." ”

Li Jinshu patted the green calyx's hand and gave her a complimenting look.

Suddenly, the maid Xiaotao exclaimed in the back: "Miss! What's wrong with you? ”

Li Jinyao held a handkerchief, covered her swollen face, and staggered out of the carriage.

She was punished to kneel in the garden until the end of the feast, and she was also a pampered young lady on weekdays, kneeling on the cold brick floor for more than three hours, until now there was no water or food in her stomach, and she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and her whole body was weak, and her knees were painful when she moved, and she fell to the ground as soon as she got off the carriage.

The accompanying maid didn't dare to say much, Xiao Tao saw the miserable situation on Li Jinyao's face, her frightened face turned white, and she didn't dare to ask again.

Li Jinyao was supported by Xiao Tao, limping slowly and walking at the rear.

Li Jinshu returned to his yard, kicked off his shoes, and posed a big word on the bed.

"Fourth Miss was punished in the palace?" As soon as the green calyx entered the door, she ran over eagerly and asked.

Seeing Li Jinshu nodding, the green calyx became even more nervous, she took Li Jinshu's arm and looked her up and down: "Can you implicate Miss?" Has Miss also been punished? ”

Li Jinshu smiled and pushed her hand away and said, "No, no, I'm fine." ”

Green Calyx breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Miss, come and eat something." ”

The news that Li Jinyao was injured in the palace soon spread throughout the palace.

"What's going on, what's going on?!" The second old man Li Chengqi anxiously asked the little girl who was traveling with him, while hurrying to the old lady's yard.

"Second master, the minions don't know, since they entered the back garden, the minions have been left outside, I only know that the fourth miss has been injured when they come out, as for what's going on, the minions really don't know."

As the second old man Li Chengqi just walked into the yard, he saw that the old lady was supported by Mother Xu beside her, and she was also walking out in a hurry, and when she saw Li Chengqi, she asked urgently: "What's the matter?" What's going on with the four girls?! ”

Li Chengqi said: "Mother, son also knew the news, and I don't know." Let's not worry, let's talk about it after asking clearly, maybe we didn't get punished, maybe we accidentally fell. ”

The old lady asked, "What about the young ladies?" What about people? Why can't you pay it back? ”

Mother Xu helped the old lady to sit down and said, "The young ladies will go back to the courtyard for a short rest, and they will come over in a while." ”

The old lady paused heavily on the ground with her cane and said, "It's all this time, what else to rest!" Hurry up and let them come over and tell you what's going on! ”

"Yes, yes, the slave will let people go and invite."

The old lady and Li Chengqi were waiting in the room, only feeling anxious and long.

Finally, footsteps came from the courtyard, and Li Jinshu and Li Jinmeng walked in one after another.

The maid who came in after was the maid who arranged to invite Li Jinyue, and the maid came in and replied: "Old lady, the slave maid went to the yard of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is no longer in her yard, and the maid said that she went to the yard of the fourth lady, and said that she was worried that the fourth lady would not be able to open it, so she went to persuade her." ”

"Can't think of it?" The old lady was even more frightened when she heard this word, how could she not think about it? That means that Li Jinyao was indeed punished in the palace?!

The old lady hurriedly said to Li Jinshu and Li Jinmeng: "Tell me quickly, what's going on in the palace?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Li Jin dreamed: "The fourth sister met ...... in the palace."

Before he could say a word, he heard a small guy in the courtyard running in in a panic and said loudly: "Old lady, it's not good! The fourth lady is going to hang herself in the hospital! ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't care about asking about the situation in the palace anymore, and hurried to Li Jinyao's courtyard.

Li Jinyao stood on a low chair, the white silk was already worn around her neck, she held the white silk in both hands, and shouted to the maids around her: "Don't come here!" Stay back! Don't come here! ”

After that, he stretched out his foot and kicked the chair under his feet.

The maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Miss, Miss, come down, what do you have to tell the master, tell the lady, don't stand on it." ”

Li Jinyue stood next to her and wiped her tears: "Fourth sister, come down quickly, if you have anything to say, don't scare everyone like this!" ”

She said to Xiao Tao who was kneeling on the side: "Why don't you hurry up and pull your young lady down, what if something really happens if you stand on it." ”

Li Jinyao shouted at Xiao Tao, who was about to step forward to pull her: "Get out!" I don't care about you! I'm not scaring you, get out of here, or I'm going to let go! ”

Xiao Tao looked at Li Jinyue's urging eyes next to her, gritted her teeth and continued to step forward to pull Li Jinyao: "Miss, Miss!" Stop making a fuss! There is a little servant who has gone to invite the old lady and the third lady, if you have any grievances, you can come down and say. If you have three long and two short, the minions will die, so come down quickly, don't make trouble. ”

"Get out of here, I'm not making trouble, I'm just going to kill myself!" Li Jinyao pushed Xiao Tao's hand away, and the two tore and scraped the chair at Li Jinyao's feet, and in an instant, she was hooked by Bai Aya's neck and hung in the air.

Li Jinyao only felt that her neck was tightened, she couldn't breathe, her feet kicked helplessly, and her body twisted hard but had no effect, but it became more and more suffocating.

Without an air inlet, Li Jinyao became more and more weak, and the amplitude of her movements gradually decreased.

Xiao Tao was frightened to the ground, and the maids were also frightened and didn't know how to react for a while.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and the old lady led a group of mermaids in, and she was also startled when she saw the scene in the room.

"Quick, quick, put people down!"

The two powerful mothers-in-law hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the legs of the legs, and supported the waist, and finally took Li Jinyao off the white silk.

Xiao Tao breathed for Li Jinyao in the back, and Li Jinyao sat on the ground and finally gasped for breath and began to cry.

Li Jinyue on the side stepped forward to take her hand, comforting her, and wiping her tears at the same time.

The old lady looked at the scene and scolded: "Cry, cry, cry!" What are you crying about, you still have the face to cry when you lose someone! ”

Li Jinyao cried even louder: "Then let me die, I don't want to live!" ”

After speaking, he rushed to the corner of the table on the side.

Frightened, the maids in the house hurriedly stopped them with their bodies, and there was another toss of people on their backs.

After all, it was Li Jinyao's boudoir, and the second master Li Chengqi was inconvenient to enter, so he paced in the courtyard anxiously, asking many times, and after knowing that the person was rescued, he instructed the maid to let the people in the house quickly tidy up and go to the old lady's yard.

After some twists and turns, everyone finally gathered in the old lady's courtyard.

"What the hell is going on? What happened in the palace? The old lady asked with a heavy pause on her crutches.

Li Jinmeng told everything that happened in the palace: "...... That's it, the fourth sister was not only punished for kneeling and slapping her mouth, but also ordered to think about it behind closed doors. ”

Li Jinyao thought about the grievances suffered in the palace, and began to cry again.

Li Chengqi saw that he was really as worried, he was punished in the palace, and if he didn't get it right, it directly affected his career, and he couldn't help but look even more ugly.
