As time passed, the rumors gradually passed, and Yun Congmin didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, Zhong Xiaoshu's recent life was very moist.

The first snow has passed, and the plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the fragrance spreads all over the corners of the palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs waited in a circle, and Zhong Xiaoshu squinted his eyes slightly and lay lazily on the chaise longue to bask in the sun.

The long ink-colored hair was scattered behind her, and the red palace dress evoked her delicate feeling to the fullest.

Because she was afraid of the cold, her legs were also intimately covered with a thick blanket.

Qing'er on the side stepped forward with a plate of exquisite pastries, and reported the news she had just learned to Zhong Xiaoshu by the way.

"Queen Mother, Miss Xia is seriously ill, do you want to visit?"

Zhong Xiaoshu, who was originally a little drowsy by the warm sun, raised his head in surprise when he heard this, "When did it happen?" ”

In Zhong Xiaoshu's impression, Xia Zhitao is a gentle and quiet woman.

Not only did she embroider a dress, but the whole person was also gentle and gentle when she spoke, and she was two kinds of people who were completely different from Yun Congmin.

Xia Zhitao is weak in her bones, but at the same time, there is a little bit of a feeling that she is a bully.

But the cuteness that occasionally exudes will make people can't bear to trample on this tranquility.

How could a person who was fine before suddenly become seriously ill?

No...... She suddenly thought that when she went to visit before, Xia Zhitao looked like she was scared, could it be that there was an omen?

"Back to the queen, the slave and maid have just learned the news and reported it to you, and I don't know anything else." Qing'er answered truthfully.

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't know what was going on, the people around her had been in trouble one after another recently, she sighed, "Come on, change clothes." ”

It is impossible to wear a swaggering palace dress when leaving the palace, Zhong Xiaoshu deliberately combed a girl's hair bun, and chose a fresh color for the clothes.

The waist is very slender, and the whole style is different, and no one may believe that she is the mother of three children.

"The Queen Mother is so beautiful!" Qing'er looked amazed.

Zhong Xiaoshu knocked on Qing'er's head gently, with a smile in his eyes, "Can you take a snack?" ”

"The queen is the most beautiful and temperamental woman Qing'er has ever seen."

After thinking about it for a long time, Qing'er squeezed out this sentence, Zhong Xiaoshu finally didn't say anything more, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth became bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, any woman, no matter what age she is, likes to be praised by others, and Rao is Zhong Xiaoshu is not exempt from vulgarity.

After that, Zhong Xiaoshu sent someone to inform Yin Zhige again, and only then did he prepare a carriage to go to Xia's house with permission.

The Xia family is not magnificent, and the plaque that looks quite old is sprinkled with the two big characters of Xia House.

The walls of the courtyard were covered with moss, and there was not even a guard at the gate.

"What's going on? closed doors in broad daylight, and the Xia family was too rude. ”

Qing'er pursed her lips, very dissatisfied.

Zhong Xiaoshu said: "That's not what I said, I didn't inform them when I went out of the palace to visit, and I didn't greet them, which is understandable." Qing'er, go knock on the door. ”

Qing'er knocked for a while before someone came to open the door, and the gray-clothed little guy showed his head.

When he saw the person who came clearly, he said perfunctorily, 'My lord has not seen a guest recently', and he hurriedly closed the door.

Zhong Xiaoshu quickly threw a stone into the crack of the door and got stuck, she frowned, and walked up the steps step by step, a little displeased.

"I'm not seeing your master. Where's your young lady? I'm a friend of hers, and I heard that she was seriously ill and came to visit, but I didn't want to? ”

The gray-clothed guy didn't know Zhong Xiaoshu's identity, and just looking at her gorgeous clothes, he felt that she was not an ordinary person.

But with Master Xia's order, he couldn't let people in, so he was determined to close the door.

"I said that my lord didn't see a guest, why didn't you listen!"

Zhong Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, this was treating her as an unmarried lady, and suddenly her mind flashed and she had an idea.

She took a step forward and looked like a scoundrel: "Men and women don't kiss, if you touch me, I will sue you for indecent acts!" ”

This crime is serious, and the gray-clothed guy didn't dare to move, and his face was embarrassed.

"This young lady, please go quickly, or I really won't be able to explain. I'm old and ......."

"Okay, okay, there are old and young, sick and miserable, and no daughter-in-law can't eat, right? I get it all, but I'm just asking you for a small favor. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu knew what this little guy was going to say later, and asked Qing'er to take out some broken silver for him.

"I'm tired of this little brother to bring a message to your young lady, just say that Zhong Xiaoshu has come to visit her.

If your lord doesn't allow me to enter, I'll look for him personally, and I'll have a lot of money after the deed. ”

The gray-clothed guy had never seen such a generous person in his life, and after thanking Zhong Xiaoshu again and again, he ran to report inside.

After reading the entire bribery process, Qing'er couldn't help but sigh: "Money can make ghosts grind, worthy of being the queen's mother!" ”

In fact, Zhong Xiaoshu didn't know that those silver could make ordinary people live a good life for a year.

She just gave it casually, but she still understands this bit of human sophistication.

Xu is Master Xia knew Zhong Xiaoshu's identity, and he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly welcomed him into the hall.

"I don't know why the queen is coming to the cold house?" Master Xia rubbed his hands together and raised a flattering smile.

Zhong Xiaoshu took a sip of tea and said, "It's not in the palace, there's no need to be polite, I'm just coming to see the peach." ”

Hearing this, Master Xia's eyes were a little evasive, "Zhitao is seriously ill, the queen mother should not approach, for fear of contracting a vicious disease." ”

The more he said this, the more curious Zhong Xiaoshu became, and a pair of eyes looked at the cowering Master Xia with a pair of inquiring eyes, and his voice suddenly became stronger.

"The peach is a friend of the palace, isn't this allowed?"

"The grass people don't dare! It's just that the disease of the peach is menacing, and the doctor said that it will be contagious. ”

Master Xia hurriedly knelt down and said in fear.

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't know how true his words were, but after all, it was already very wrong to disturb others with great fanfare.

Seeing that Master Xia was still unrelenting, she had no choice but to leave with someone.

When he returned to the palace, he informed Yin Zhige of the matter, and he put down the recital in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Since other people's parents have said so, don't worry too much, everyone has a life."

Zhong Xiaoshu was not afraid of contracting infectious diseases, but felt that it was very strange that the Xia family was hiding Xia Zhitao's illness.

Seeing that Yin Zhige was so relieved, he didn't think much about it.

A few days later, Zhong Xiaoshu received a letter for help, and the name of the payment was Xia Zhitao.

Only then did she realize that things had exceeded her imagination, and immediately rushed to Xia's house with some guards.

"How long do you want to hide from this palace? Xia Zhitao has no infectious disease at all! ”

Zhong Xiaoshu angrily threw the distress letter in front of Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia, and said coldly.

"What do you say about the queen mother? Our peach is still sick and cannot be disturbed casually. ”

Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia looked at each other, still denying it.

Zhong Xiaoshu laughed angrily, "Okay, don't say yes?" Come on, search for me! ”

These guards brought back from the palace were well-trained, and Old Master Xia and Mrs. Xia couldn't stop them at all, so they could only watch them turn over the cabinets.

Finally, I found Natsu no Peach in the firewood room, and the surrounding environment was humid.

When she was lying on the ground and was obviously unconscious for a long time, Zhong Xiaoshu tried to snort and frowned fiercely.

It's clearly dying.

On the side, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia saw that the situation was wrong, so they wanted to flee, and they were soon surrounded by guards.
