Chapter 412: The Palace Maiden Who Chews the Root of Her Tongue
The Queen Mother soon sensed that something was not quite right.
Since the last time Cuiyun caught two palace maids with broken mouths in the imperial garden, the Queen Mother knew that the most difficult thing to control was the human mouth.
Where is the speed at which this rumor spreads artificially controllable?
"Qingqiu, let's go down and take a look, this little palace maid doesn't know how to ask, she can't handle this matter." The Queen Mother said to her personal girl.
"Obey, Queen Mother, I'll go back as soon as I go?"
Qingqiu received the Queen Mother's order and got off the sedan chair to find out.
"You maids, why are you stuck here today? Don't you know that today is the day of the Queen Mother and the Princess? β
Qingqiu was actually in trouble in her heart, she had just heard some sensitive names, but she didn't dare to report them to the Queen Mother.
When the palace maids saw that Qingqiu was coming, they immediately bent down to say goodbye.
This Qingqiu, but the celebrity around the Queen Mother, this can make these palace maids unprovoked.
"Didn't anyone reply to me?"
Qingqiu saw that all the palace maids were bowing down and no one was talking, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, she knew that the Queen Mother had been a little angry recently because of these people who chewed their tongues behind their backs.
"Are you sure, no one has come forward to speak?" Qingqiu accentuated his tone.
She looked like she was going to eat people, no palace maid dared to say anything, Qingqiu was a little impatient, she approached a palace maid, grabbed her sleeves and began to ask.
"You're the one who just made a noise here, right?"
The little palace maid who was caught was frightened at once, and she didn't know what to respond to to show that she hadn't made a mistake. She began to hesitate and look dazed.
"I, Sister Qingqiu, I, we just ...... here"
She still didn't finish her words, which provoked Qingqiu to be angry, let go of her hand, and approached the next one.
"What about you, I ask you, what were you talking about?"
This Qingqiu has been living a good life with the queen mother, and she is also quite important among the palace maids.
"Sister Qingqiu, we are just some people who come here to see the scenery, there is nothing else, there really is none."
This is a relatively sleek palace maid, Qingqiu has always hated such a palace maid, she knows that this woman is not telling the truth in her mouth, so she began to teach a lesson in disgust.
"What are you, in this palace, and where you see the scenery? Have you done everything for your master? In the mood to make noise here? Come on, slap your mouth! β
Qingqiu directly greeted the palace maid with a few big ears, and the people next to her didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would be punished more brutally if they said something wrong.
"Qingqiu, how are things going?"
The Queen Mother couldn't sit still in the sedan chair, seeing that the best time to worship Guanyin and ask for a son was coming, how could this outside thing feel more and more troublesome?
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, these palace maids either don't open their mouths, or they just flamboyate, I'm just punishing them?"
Qingqiu returned to the sedan chair and whispered into the queen mother's ear.
What she meant was that the content of these palace maids chewing the root of their tongues must be related to the deceased Prince Junchen Mo.
The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, although she already knew that these people's mouths couldn't be controlled, but she still didn't expect that when such a lot of people were talkative, she would be caught up by Bei Xiaoqi.
The Queen Mother personally got off the sedan chair and decided to ask to understand, but she couldn't let this kind of thing ferment anymore.
"The mourning family asks you, what I just said, but what I said that I am not allowed to be exposed?" As soon as the Queen Mother came out, everyone changed from a state of bending to kneeling.
The palace maids were worried in their hearts, the queen mother must ask this matter to understand today.
Bei Xiaoqi over there was a little confused because of the sudden stop of the sedan chair, she didn't know what happened outside and stayed for so long?
But the uneasiness came back to her, and she felt that she had to go out and see what was going on.
"Cuiyun, what's going on outside now, where is the Queen Mother?"
Bei Xiaoqi poked his head out of the window of the sedan chair and asked Cuiyun outside.
Cuiyun had actually been listening to the development of this matter with her ears pricked up, and she understood something in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell Bei Xiaoqi the truth.
"Hey, it's just that the first few palace maids started fighting, and they happened to be seen by the Queen Mother, and they want to be punished."
Cuiyun tried her best to cover up what happened, and used various reasons to perfunctory Bei Xiaoqi.
"Really? There is such a thing as a fight in the palace? Bei Xiaoqi muttered in his heart, he had been in the palace for so long, and the first time he heard the palace maid fighting, he couldn't help but feel a little fresh.
When this palace maid fights, won't they be sent to the Xin Zheku? Or expelled from the palace? How could he fight so easily, and he was taken care of by the Queen Mother.
"By the way, Cuiyun, what bad things did the two girls you taught in the Imperial Garden last time say bad things?"
Bei Xiaoqi suddenly remembered this stubble and began to continue to ask Cuiyun questions.
Cuiyun just covered up this matter, but he didn't expect Bei Xiaoqi to ask about the incident in the Imperial Garden a few days ago, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, this is not easy to explain in the end.
Cuiyun mentally organized the language, and he wanted to make herself look less nervous, and she took a deep breath.
"Cuiyun, how do I feel that you are suddenly nervous."
Unexpectedly, Cuiyun's caution was noticed by Bei Xiaoqi, and she began to speak incoherently for a while.
"Isn't it afraid that after you listen to those bad words, you won't be good to the child in your belly, oh, my madam, don't listen to it."
Bei Xiaoqi wondered, what kind of words would make him so angry? Cuiyun's statement made Bei Xiaoqi even more interested, and he must ask why.
"That's it, that means you don't have anything to do for a day, and the whole is in front of the Queen Mother, and I don't know why you're favored."
Cuiyun began to make up nonsense, and she felt that the lethality of these words was far less than the news of Jun Chenmo's death.
"Poof, I thought I said something, that's all, Cuiyun, you're too prone to tantrums."
Unexpectedly, after Bei Xiaoqi heard her explanation, she suddenly laughed, she felt that what the person who chewed the root of her tongue in the backyard of this palace was still strange and interesting.
Cuiyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hanging heart relaxed.
"Madam, you should rest in the sedan chair for a while, I see that the previous matter is almost resolved, and we should set off again in a while."
"I want to go over and see what's going on."
Bei Xiaoqi suddenly became serious, and Cuiyun's heart rose again.
"Then I'll go and see it first, and I'll tell you later."
Cuiyun said, asked the palace maid next to her to take care of her wife, and quickly ran to the front, this kind of thing can't let her see and hear with her own eyes.
As soon as Cuiyun arrived at the front, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, this is not ......
Cuiyun was shocked, and hurriedly went back to stop Madame, but she really couldn't let her get out of the sedan chair anymore. Unexpectedly, before she could run back, Bei Xiaoqi's sedan chair had already walked this way.
"Ma'am, you'reβ" Cuiyun shouted anxiously.
"Let's go ahead and have a look."
There was no trace of concession in Bei Xiaoqi's voice.
