Chapter 426: The Storm Rises

Su Ruhua wears a short undergarment with a lotus pattern of entwined branches and peony, six Xiangshui skirts are tied below, the long black hair is neatly tied up with a flying fairy bun, a string of pearls falls on her sideburns, the lines do not move, on her head, Queen Zhou looks slightly pale because of sleepless all night on her face with thin grease powder, the queen wears a crimson Zhai clothes, secretly embroidered with a long-lasting Ruyi pattern, combing the nine rings of Wangxian bun, the phoenix is magnificent, and the expression is solemn.

"Queen Mother, people are already waiting outside the palace." An Xia slowly entered the gate of the hall and whispered.

Empress Zhou nodded slightly: "Bring them all in." ”

Several brocade-clothed girls rushed in, all with panicked faces, but the first one, combed with drooping hair and buns, dressed in purple palace clothes, although they had never slept all night, but their demeanor was calm, and their eyes were blazing, it was Shen Zipei.

"The courtiers greet the queen!"

Queen Zhou said indifferently: "Flat!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

Su Ruhui found Su Ruran's figure in the crowd, still wearing last night's dress, and her sideburns were slightly loose, which made her vigilant.

"Yesterday's events, you must not know about the painting, right?" Queen Zhou didn't give a seat to the show girls, took off her finger sleeve and pressed her eyebrows, and suddenly glanced at Su Ruhua.

Su Ruhui owed a debt on the seat, and said with a smile: "Aren't the courtiers confused? ”

"Then Anxia will talk about it." Empress Zhou sighed and said a little tiredly.

An Xia nodded and saluted Su Ruhua: "Miss Su, that's the case - yesterday the queen gave a banquet in the imperial garden, and the young lady went to the end before leaving, but among the show girls who were called, there was one person who never arrived, because the concubine had a stomachache, the banquet was interrupted, and after accompanying the concubine to the Xifu Palace to settle down, the queen mother went to investigate...... This one didn't come, presumably Miss Su also knew, it was Miss Shen. ”

Shen Zipei smiled indifferently.

Su Ruhui didn't even look at her, and said calmly: "Yes, at that time, Concubine Niangniang was worried, and in order to appease Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang specially sent the powerful Nianxin Niangniang around her to hang more palace lamps on the road from Guihua Palace to the Imperial Garden, and went to find Miss Shen's family, but unfortunately until Guifei Niangniang returned to Xifu Palace, there was no shadow of Miss Shen. ”

"Miss Su, do you know why Miss Shen is delayed?" Ansha asked.

Su Ruhui said with a smile: "Aunt Anxia said this, Renshou Palace and Guihua Palace are so far away, how can you know?" But Aunt Anxia must already know, so why bother? ”

Empress Zhou frowned slightly when she heard "Renshou Palace" three times, and the faint mockery in Su Ruhua's attitude made the corners of her mouth twitch, but after thinking about it, if this Su family was easy to deal with, she would not be the only one among the five girls who were accepted into the palace to raise her.

An Xia also heard that Su Ruhui was raised by the Empress Dowager and mocked Empress Zhou for summoning her to Weiyang Palace to ask about the suspicion of contempt for the Empress Dowager, and her face stiffened before she said: "Now that the Empress Dowager is sick, she shouldn't have easily disturbed Miss Su's service in front of the bed, but it is just that the matter is serious, so Miss Su will be invited to come, and the Empress Niang presided over the Sixth Palace on the orders of His Majesty, Miss Su, do you say yes or no?" ”

"Auntie, I am really embarrassed when I say this, when it comes to the Queen Mother, I really can't cry now, Mama Qi herself is thin like that, but she doesn't let anyone interfere in everything - the queen mother doesn't know, the last time Concubine Leng and Concubine Shu went to visit, it was only while the queen mother was asleep that Mama Qi allowed them to enter the dormitory to have a look." Su Ruhui wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with red eyes.

"The Queen Mother Ji has her own heavenly appearance, don't say much about the Detai Palace!" Queen Zhou secretly scolded An Xia for falling for Su Ruhui's plan, and in order to maintain the prestige of the middle palace, she put forward the handle hinted by Concubine Leng early to threaten Su Ruhui, but unexpectedly, this Su family was articulate, first pointing out that Qi Yun did not allow others to get close to the Detai Palace, and implied that the queen's daughter-in-law had not gone to the Detai Hall for a while to fulfill her filial piety, but she dragged herself into the water.

What's more, since the Queen Mother was bedridden, because the Queen Mother no longer cares about the government, so although the palace is surprised, the impact on the surface is not very big, but if Changtai intentionally or unintentionally blocked the Queen Mother's real illness, outsiders only think that the Queen Mother always gets better, and now there are these show girls here, the news has been spread outside the palace through them, with Huo Guifei's long-term favor, if people know that the Queen Mother almost has no hope of speaking again, don't even think about it, Gan Ran's position must be extraordinarily stable!

Queen Zhou secretly gritted her teeth, thinking of Huo Guifei's body when she was about to give birth...... She endured it, it didn't matter, when Huo's gave birth, she would have another chance!

"The courtiers obey the orders of the queen!" Su Ruhui accepted it when she saw it, and said to An Xia with a smile, "Please also ask my aunt to give advice, why did Miss Shen miss the edict of the mother last night, and what did the mother say when she was summoned today?" ”

"Last night, Miss Su was the tenth lady of the Su family, her name was Ruran, and she was your cousin Miss Su, and she arrived at the banquet venue early, yes or no?"

Su Ruhui nodded: "My cousin came really early." ”

"I heard that Miss Su Shi and Miss Su have been chatting for a long time avoiding the crowd, I wonder if Miss Su Shi ever told Miss Su about the dispute that occurred when she left Guihua Palace?" An Xia asked in a deep voice.

Su Ruhui said solemnly: "Auntie doesn't mention this matter, I want to talk to the queen mother for a while!" Yesterday, my cousin heard the call of the queen's mother, and she didn't dare to delay, and after dressing up, she was about to leave the house where the show girl lived to go to the imperial garden, but when she went out, the show girl opposite splashed with boiling water! If it weren't for the palace maid who served her cousin and was loyal to the lord......"

"You talk nonsense! Obviously, Su Ruran was cunning and vicious, deliberately letting the palace maid walk in front of her! Before An Xia could speak, someone among the show girls shouted angrily, "She also used this as an excuse to slap Sister Tao Yue in public!" It hurt Sister Tao Yue to think about it for a while, if it weren't for Sister Shen's bumping into ...... Sister Tao Yue is going to go like this! The voice of the person who said this was crisp and loud and fast, and before everyone could react, the show girl had already knelt on the ground and wept sadly, "Queen Mother, please be clear!" Sister Tao Yue, she ...... She was about to be bullied to death by the Su sisters! ”

Empress Zhou frowned, An Xia understood, and reprimanded: "This is the Changle Hall of Weiyang Palace, and the queen mother is here!" How can you make a noise at will?! ”

The show girl was stunned for a moment, but she listened to An Xia's tone and said leisurely: "The queen mother called you all here, and even Miss Su, who was raised by the queen mother herself, invited her, so naturally she wants to thoroughly investigate the matter, who is right and who is wrong, the queen mother has her own judgment, and she still needs you to plead?" ”
