171, the Queen Mother threatened
(Girls' Literature)
Cool breeze. Ripples suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the lake. Constant proliferation.
Ling Xiao noticed that someone was hiding behind him. frowned. When he turned around, he didn't see anything. Just when he was wondering. I saw the pale green dress hidden behind the shade of the trees.
Without having to think about it, he could guess who had arrived. See that she can hide. Ling Xiao also didn't want to be strong. Besides, at this time, he really wanted to be alone.
Fingertips pinched the leaf green on the flower branch. Ji Qiu hung his head for fear of being discovered by Ling Xiao. I don't know why. I wanted to go out and talk to him. Seeing that he was going to turn around. Frightened, he hurriedly hid.
Maybe. Some words. As her current identity, it really shouldn't be said. But. If it hadn't been for those things. Girls' literature, and the four sisters will not enter the palace. Not much more so than it is now. is so born with Ling Xiao.
I don't know how long it took. Ji Qiu slowly squatted down next to the flowers. Sit with your hands on your knees. She didn't know if Ling Xiao by the lake had left. However, she was not interested in finding out at the moment.
Let the biting cold slowly spread from under his body to his whole body. Numbness, stiffness. These teach ordinary people to feel anything. At this moment, it didn't have any effect on Ji Qiu.
Another cold wind struck. Ji Qiu trembled. The thoughts that flew into the nine clouds were also pulled back at that moment. Five fingers propped up. Secretly poke out the head of the mantis. Maybe. He had already left early in the morning.
I just got up and walked a few steps. Another cold wind followed. It's a little bit colder than Fang Cai. The willow branches hanging on the surface of the lake are constantly tracing something in the wind. Causing ripples.
The day seems to be about to change. Ji Qiu raised his head and looked up with half-squinted eyes. Black clouds rolled all over the blue sky. It's like a big net trapping everyone in it.
The wind rises on flat ground. On this day, it will change. There is no chance for the people below to breathe.
Ji Qiu stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and walked towards the corridor. This is the first heavy rain of the year. I also hope to sweep away all the hostility that remains in the world.
The front foot has just stepped into the corridor. Outside the corridor, a waterfall of rain was already pouring down. Girls' Literature
"Ji Qiu. The Queen Mother is invited. ”
The jade cicada led several palace people to enter from the other side of the corridor. It seems that it just avoided the torrential rain. As soon as I saw Ji Qiu. She made it clear what she meant. The depths of his eyes are like a puddle of icy water. In addition to being able to reflect the figure of a person. And there is no other color.
The voice fell. The jade cicada also stopped its steps. stared coldly at Ji Qiu.
"Queen Mother." Ji Qiu said to himself in confusion. On weekdays, the queen mother rarely asks about things in the palace. This time, he actually took the initiative to send someone to invite her over. This really made Ji Qiu feel uneasy.
Looked at the jade cicada a few times. Girls' literature knows that she is notoriously cold-faced. There is no expectation. After tidying up her appearance a little, she went with her.
Yinghua Palace. It is the place where the harem concubines worship the Buddha.
Somehow today. The Queen Mother suddenly remembered that the first emperor brought a few palace people to this Yinghua Hall alone. Looking at the Nyorai enshrined in front of me. The Queen Mother sat cross-legged on the futon and chanted.
The jade cicada brings the season and autumn to the time. The Queen Mother was not finished, and ordered no one to disturb. She had no choice but to ask the palace people to wipe the rain-splashed dress on Ji Qiu's body with a dry cloth. And change into clean shoes prepared by the palace people in the morning.
The sound of wooden fish in the hall stopped. Bent down and slowly walked through the side door into the Yinghua Palace. Not for a moment. She came out to let Ji Qiu enter the hall for questioning.
On both sides of the Yinghua Hall are enshrined the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Ji Qiu made a calculation in his heart with every step he took in front of their Buddhas. This is. For the first time since she entered the palace, she was summoned by the Queen Mother to this sacred and majestic place.
Suddenly. My heart tightened. I was vaguely aware that this was not just a coincidence. The water on the hem of the garment has long since been wiped away. But every step I took felt as if I had been filled with lead.
The center of the eyebrows is tightened tighter and tighter. Ji Qiu put his hand in front of his abdomen. Get down to one knee on the ground. "The slave maid asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye. Blessed mother. "Anyway. Quietly waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
The Queen Mother sitting on a futon. The fluent Buddhist scriptures in his mouth came to an abrupt end. Put your hands together and bow to the Buddha repeatedly.
Fade away from the lead. The Queen Mother, dressed in plain white, looks much older than before. She glanced at Ji Qiu on the ground. turned his head sideways and looked at the jade cicada beside him. Take off the beads in your hand and place them on the desk in front of the Buddha. Then he walked to the inner hall.
Ji Qiu didn't know what it meant. Until Jade Cicada came over and told her to go with the Queen Mother.
There are a total of five wings in the Yinghua Palace. The Queen Mother led them towards the largest of them. Ji Qiu thought that the Queen Mother was tired and wanted to rest. Until you step through the door. She realized that it wasn't like that.
This wing was not intended to provide a place for concubines to rest. Inside, the spirit tablets of the previous emperors are enshrined. Compared with the previous hall, it is several times more solemn. Girls' literature was updated for the first time, and Ji Qiu couldn't help but tremble lightly.
The Queen Mother looked at these many spiritual positions. He took the incense from the desk and burned it for worship.
Jade Cicada seems to be used to seeing such a scene. There was peace in his eyes. And Ji Qiu is calm on weekdays. Available today. She really couldn't guess the Queen Mother's thoughts. Facing the spiritual throne of the previous emperors. Unstoppable panic.
At this time. The Queen Mother turned around leisurely and looked at Ji Qiu who was standing beside her. glanced at the jade cicada. "Ji Qiu. Do you know what the mourners have called you here today? ”
Ji Qiu blessed his body. Deferentially asked. "Slaves are dull. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me. ”
"Since I returned to the palace. The mourning family asks themselves that everything is for the sake of the overall situation. Girls' literature is updated for the first time, and the family is set and the country is safe. The family is uncertain, and the country is chaotic. The emperor is a good emperor. But no matter how good a person is, he can't escape the word 'love'. But this 'love' really gave the mourning family a headache. He said. The Queen Mother reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.
Ji Qiu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the Queen Mother. It turned out that this was the intention of the Queen Mother. But what could she say? Loyal to her master, how could she let the Queen Mother want to hurt Su Jinyu.
But. Is it really as simple as it seems? Ji Qiu bit his lip and shook his head. "The emperor's business. The slave did not dare to make too many judgments. ”
Between him and Su Jinyu. It's love, it's love. It's been blurred for a long time.
Treat each other with a heart. But it made Ji Qiu more and more envious. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible
"The mourners know in their hearts. You are loyal to the Emperor. But there is an exception to everything, isn't it? The mourning family doesn't need you to betray the emperor. Just get rid of the obstacle in front of you. Even if you have completed the task entrusted to you by the mourning family. The Queen Mother smiled. Among the many palace people in the Yonghe Palace. What she knows best is Ji Qiu. And the weakness in her body is what she can easily grasp accurately.
Ji Qiu rolled his eyelids. Didn't answer right away. She knows. The Queen Mother's words today are so affirmative. It must be represented. The hands that were placed in front of the abdomen were silently grasped together. The depths of the eyes are full of waves.
Then. The jade cicada slowly walked out of the inner hall. The plate in his hand contained several objects that made Ji Qiu frightened. Really. The last thing you want to happen happens. Girl literature, her body shook lightly, and she almost fell to the ground.
The jade cicada obeyed the queen mother's wishes. Place the tray gently in front of Ji Qiu.
"The slave doesn't know what the Queen Mother means." Ji Qiu bit his lip. Word by word squeezed out of the teeth. Apparently. She was deliberately suppressing her inner restlessness. Even the words he said trembled a little.
The Queen Mother raised the corners of her lips. He turned and bowed to the spirits. "Clear the door." These three words are light. It's as if it's an ordinary thing.
Jade Cicada took out the royal blue bottle from her bosom. Place on a tray. Eyes said. "Just sprinkle this lightly over your meal. Before she knew it, she would also take her life. Now it's counted. Your brother must be ten years old. Season and autumn. How about a life for a life. The voice fell softly. The jade cicada raised her eyes and looked at the panicked look of last season's autumn. chuckled a few times.
If it weren't for Ling Xiao to connect Su Jinyu into the dormitory. Why should she do anything more? It's just that. Removing obstacles by the hands of others. It's a clever idea.
Five fingers trembled over the tray. Several sheets of rice paper were covered with large and small words. A wooden hairpin clearly shows signs of age. All that's left is the bottle of poison.
One life for another. Ji Qiu didn't know the life in the mouth of the jade cicada. Is it her brother's or her mother's. It doesn't matter which one it is. They are all her dearest and loved ones. Hurting anyone is something she doesn't want to happen.
The Queen Mother saw Ji Qiu hesitating like this. Pacing softly in front of her. "You've decided. Choose which one you want to keep. ”
Ji Qiu slowly closed his eyes. He picked up the bottle of poison and held it tightly in his palm. For the sake of the present. She had no choice but to leave her loved ones behind. As for Su Jinyu. She could only be extremely sorry.
Jade Cicada saw that she had made a choice. He stepped forward and handed the other two things in the tray into her hands. Said softly. "Today you helped the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will definitely not treat you badly in the future. ”
Ji Qiugan glared at the jade cicada. She didn't reply. Instead, he slowly stood up from the ground. owed to the Queen Mother. "If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do. The slave and maid retired first. ”
After coming out of the Yinghua Palace. The heavy rain continued. The cold wind even carried a little rain into the corridor. Ji Qiu's whole body was unconscious. The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. Hurt anyone, she doesn't want to see.
She slowly lifted the bottle of poison in her hand. I can't wait to smash it now. I don't like to be threatened. But today, she just ate this blow but was powerless to fight back.
If you inform Ling Xiao of this. Su Jinyu was not the only one who was killed. And her family and her own life. This move. It's too risky and too hard to decide.
If he followed the queen mother's wishes, he murdered Su Jinyu. But it is beyond conscience. And Lingyun hasn't woken up yet. If Su Jinyu really has something wrong. This spearhead must be pointed at Ling Xiao. When the time comes, it hurts the siblings. It disturbed the peace of the harem again. This move. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Suddenly. The bottle of poison in his palm became heavy. Ji Qiu looked at the continuous rain worriedly. It's hard to make up your mind.
