Aunt Zhu led Ming Ran to the Buddha Shan Hall.

A deserted palace located in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing in the hall except for a Buddha statue.

Mingran knelt under the Buddha statue, closed his hands, closed his eyes and pleaded guilty.

She didn't feel guilty in her heart, but she just closed her eyes and made a show.

Aunt Zhu said: "Queen Mother, the slave is at the door." ”

"Okay."

Aunt Zhu looked at her straight back, turned around and went out, and closed the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, Mingran's tense body instantly softened, and she half-knelt and half-sat on the cushion, looking around the hall.

She was in the palace all the year round when she was young, but she never came here, and it can be seen that the Buddhist hall is often cleaned, although it is deserted, it is very clean and spotless.

She looked at the Buddha statue with kind eyes and sighed.

The imperial study of Chonghua Palace.

Li Shihai stood in front of the dragon case, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is here." ”

Xiao Yiqian stretched out his hand to support his forehead, looking tired.

Today, he was very satisfied with the Queen Mother's treatment, and the people in the palace thought that the Queen had a trouble with him last night, and was punished to the Buddha Hall today.

Concubine Liu came, apparently to ask about last night.

He looked extremely impatient, many times, he felt in his heart that the Queen Mother was his mother, at least everything the Queen Mother did was sincerely for him.

And this biological mother has all kinds of careful thoughts.

Looking at the twists and turns on the dragon case, he was sad, "Tell the concubine that I am very busy, and I will visit her in Kangbao Palace later." ”

Li Shihai bowed down and went out.

Just now, he received news from the secret guards that Xiao Qiya was arrested and is now secretly imprisoned in the underground palace.

Xiao Yiqian has no feelings for this blood-related imperial sister, but the Queen Mother is willing to open up to her.

Xiao Qiya hated the Queen Mother, and even hated the entire royal family, and if she was really restored to return to the palace, it might be a disaster.

She is bent on revenge, and she has regained her status as a princess, which may be even more rampant in secret.

But Xiao Yiqian was unwilling to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes, so he was worried about Xiao Qiya's disposal.

Sitting in the imperial study and forgetting the hour, he didn't come back to his senses until Li Shihai entered the room to take charge of the lamp.

It turned out to be dark.

"What about the Queen? Can the Queen Mother pick her up? He asked, burying his head.

Li Shihai stood in front of the high wooden frame and replied: "The Queen Mother punished the queen to kneel for three days......"

"What?" Xiao Yiqian got up.

He heard today that the Queen Mother punished Mingran to go to the Buddha Hall to kneel, but he didn't want to be punished for three days.

Today's day, the heat is unbearable, and the bright dye is extremely afraid of heat, a small punishment is okay, but it can be punished for three days, how can the bright dye stand it?

His feet had already subconsciously stepped out of the door and strode towards the Buddha Shrine. It was located at the heel of the palace, and it was very remote, and even at his pace, it would take him more than half an hour to walk.

Xiao Yiqian couldn't take care of it too much, he thought that the Queen Mother loved Mingran's heart and would not be willing to let her kneel for too long, he thought that she would have returned to Fenghua Palace a long time ago.

The thought of her kneeling there for most of the day made his heart even more anxious, and his pace became more hurried.

Li Shihai trotted behind Xiao Yiqian, thinking of Concubine Liu, he hesitated, and finally had the courage, "Your Majesty, you agreed to Concubine Liu today." ”

Xiao Yiqian's footsteps didn't stop, and he thought about it slightly, "Send someone back to Concubine Liu, and say that I will visit her tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Li Shihai waved his hand at the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch split his way and went in the other direction.

After a whole day of sun exposure in the Buddhist hall, there was heat surging in the hall at this moment, which made Ming Ran extremely upset.

She kept fanning herself with her hands, but to no avail, her face was flushed and her expression was impatient.

But Aunt Zhu told her to calm down and didn't let her go out.

There is no love for the life that is hot.

There was some movement at the door, and she was overjoyed, but she soon heard Xiao Yiqian's voice.

She was disappointed and straightened up on her knees.

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Yiqian strode in.

Mingran raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Xiao Yiqian glanced at her and looked at Li Shihai.

Li Shihai quickly stepped forward, holding a cloth bag wrapped in ice cubes in his hand.

As soon as Ming Ran touched the refreshing coolness, he hurriedly hugged the cloth bag tightly, and said gratefully to Xiao Yiqian: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"You guys go out, I am here to accompany the queen until the queen mother is angry."

He stood on Mingran, and his tone could not be refused.

Li Shihai's face was embarrassed, but after glancing at the emperor's expression, he quickly understood the emperor's intentions, and bowed down and retreated.

Only Ming Ran and Xiao Yiqian were left in the room.

Ming Ran looked at him sideways, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?" ”

"If I don't come, the Queen Mother won't let you go back."

Ming Ran suddenly realized, could it be that Aunt Zhu asked her to wait quietly, it turned out that she was waiting for Xiao Yiqian.

"The emperor's ......" was moved by Mingran's heart.

Xiao Yiqian smiled.

The Queen Mother seems to be really angry this time, and she punished Ming Ran heavily, if he doesn't come, the Queen Mother's punishment orders have been said, even if the Queen Mother regrets it, she can only let Ming Ran be punished.

But now, the emperor is here, even if the queen mother has the intention to punish Ming Ran, she has to bypass her for the emperor's sake.

What's more, everyone knows the Queen Mother's love for Ming Ran, if Xiao Yiqian doesn't come, the Queen Mother will regret it at most at night.

So Xiao Yiqian's arrival was not only to help Ming Ran, but also to help the Queen Mother, and of course, to help himself.

Regardless of whether there are these reasons or not, he is reluctant to let Mingran be punished.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, the Queen Mother withdrew the penalty order.

Mingran got up with a smile, his feet numb on his knees, and he sat on the ground on one stumble.

Xiao Yiqian hugged her horizontally, "It's only been one day, you can't stand it, if it's really three days, I can't imagine it." ”

Ming Ran pursed her lips and let Xiao Yiqian hold her, her whole body was weak, and she really didn't want to go such a long way.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue." There was a knowing smile on her lips.

This is the first time she has shown such a sincere smile to Xiao Yiqian since she married into the palace.

His heart was warm, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he strode towards Fenghua Palace with her in his arms.

Mingran leaned on his shoulder, drowsiness coming.

She had just fallen asleep last night, Xiao Yiqian came with anger, and was later punished, and the heat in the Buddha hall was unbearable, not to mention that there was no place for her to close her eyes and recuperate.

Although she is not restrained, it is impossible for her to lie directly on the ground to rest.

After holding on for a long time, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. Xiao Yiqian's shoulders were very stable, and she felt comfortable leaning on it, so she couldn't care too much about it and closed her eyes.

Xiao Yiqian looked down at her and smiled.

The strength of holding her was looser, and he didn't dare to hold her too tightly, and he didn't dare to be too loose, so that his hand could not grasp the strength, and soon he was sore, and he looked at her sleeping appearance.

Holding her and stopping on the road, even if his hands were sore, he hoped that the road would be longer.

Such a ridiculous thought made him curl his lips and smile.

Holding Ming Dye, taking small steps, step by step.
