"The Queen's Mother"

"Shhh, my sister is sleeping, whisper" Zhu'er carefully got off the bed and walked to the side room: "What's the matter, let's talk about it"

"I found out Imperial Doctor Lin, his original name was Lin Xuexue, he studied in Yutangzhai ten years ago, and then he studied medicine with a layman, I heard that this person came without a trace, went without a trace, it is very mysterious"

"Lin Xuexue" is a familiar name, is it him, no wonder he helped himself last time, it turned out to be the slug he often bullied when he was a child, but now I can't see the shy look when I was a child, and now I am also very handsome and handsome, it seems that time can really change a person.

"Later, you can help me call him, just say that I am unwell occasionally"

"Yes, sissy"

"Weichen, please give Niangniang a goodbye, may I ask Niangniang where she is uncomfortable" Imperial Doctor Lin respectfully asked Zhu'er for a peace.

"There's nothing wrong with this palace, but I always feel that I always think of the past in my mind, my childhood playmate, I heard that Imperial Doctor Lin also stayed in Yutangzhai before, but it just so happened that Imperial Doctor Lin had studied in this academy before" Zhu'er said slowly, while secretly paying attention to Imperial Doctor Lin's every move.

"Yes" Imperial Doctor Lin knew in his heart that Zhu'er was tricking him at this moment, he was not stupid, at that time she was like a small treasure, always commanding herself to do this and that, I remember that once she tripped herself, it was just after the rain, and there was low-lying water everywhere, just like that, he came to a dog to gnaw on the mud, because of this, he was also beaten by his mother, and he was tortured by her for more than a year, so that he now sees that the woman is a tigress, and avoids it.

Looking at Imperial Doctor Lin's micro-expression, hey, is this a moving expression, it was really moved by himself, after all, after so many years, it is not easy for him to remember, it should be said that it is a friendship, Zhu'er continued

"Hongu remembers that there was a playmate named Lin Xuexue at that time"

"The queen still remembers"

"Naturally, I remember, this palace still has a lot of childhood memories with him."

Imperial Doctor Lin coughed a few times, and now that he is in such a relationship, it is like a very previous character, and with his understanding, he must have something to ask for

"It's okay for the queen to say anything directly"

"Imperial Doctor Lin is quick to talk, Xiaoyue, the maid next to me, do you know?"

"Uh-huh"

"She was taken by my uncle's son, my cousin, and now he wants to marry her"

"Knowing" Imperial Doctor Lin naturally knew about her cousin, because they were both studying in the same school at that time.

"Yue'er was originally a maid by my side, and she has been with me for many years, so I naturally follow her own wishes, so I want to ask Imperial Doctor Lin to do me a favor."

"Queen Mother, please say" Listening to Zhu'er's words, Imperial Doctor Lin also understands that who wants to marry a fool.

"As the old saying goes, nothing is great, so"

"I know, but why did Wechen help his mother lie?"

"Because, this palace knows that Imperial Doctor Lin is a person with a conscience"

"Okay, Wechen agreed"

Pearl, too, was taken aback, not expecting him to agree so quickly.

Looking at the subtle change in Zhu'er's expression, he smiled, still the same as before. Although she always bullies herself and is always embarrassed to hurt herself, she also has good memories, forget it, let's help her this time, she is also kind anyway.

"Niangniang, the eldest lady has woken up," Satsuki walked in and said

"If there is nothing else to do, Weichen will retire"

"Okay, Imperial Doctor Lin is hard, you can step down," he said and walked to Yun'er's side.

"Sister, I feel better today"

"Uh-huh"

"My sister is going to take a break with my sister today, okay?" said Zhu'er

"Uh-huh," Yun'er nodded.

"Sister, I think the garden is very bright," Pearl's said

"Yes, after all, they are all taken care of"

"Sister, but I still remember when we were young, once I went into the palace with Eniang to see the Queen Mother, Zhu'er saw that a flower in the palace was blooming, and I wanted to pick one and give it to my sister, but I didn't get it, I just picked it off and sent it to my sister, and I was seen by the mother in the palace, and as a result, my sister was misunderstood by Eniang and punished with a board, and my sister didn't tell the truth when she protected me."

"You still remember, it's all because you're too playful, saying that this flower is beautiful, and before I could stop it, you took it off"

"So sister, you protect Zhu'er, Zhu'er naturally knows, sister knows, in fact, Zhu'er also protects her sister, so if your sister has something to do in the future, you can discuss it with Zhu'er, after all, we are a family"

Looking at Zhu'er's serious little expression, Yun'er nodded with emotion.

"The queen mother is here, Concubine Hua will greet you" A figure came into their eyes.

"Get up"

"Last time, my sister was not good, and my sister was stubborn, so I didn't go to Concubine Yang's palace with the queen," Concubine Hua said apologetically

"It's okay, I still have to thank my sister for speaking for the palace in front of Concubine Hua"

"Yes, but I am of humble status, how can I speak," he said, bowing his head slightly

Zhu'er knew that she had taken Concubine Yang's scolding of her to heart. said, "Since everyone has come to the palace and come to the palace, it is naturally to serve the emperor, so where to divide the high and low, as long as you do your duty"

"Well, thank you for your concern, the concubine knows" As she spoke, a hosta on her head attracted Zhu'er's attention.

"Concubine Hua, the hosta she wears today is very good-looking"

"Yes, is this one" Concubine Hua touched the hairpin on her head

"Mmmm, look at the pattern and texture of this hosta," Zhu'er asked

"Niangniang is really good eyesight, this is called Ruyi hairpin, it was rewarded by the Queen Mother, said that it was a tribute from the Western Regions, the jade gems on it are very rare, there are two in the palace, I was pregnant with a dragon species, so in order to ask for an auspicious one, one was given to me, and the other was given to Concubine Yang."

"Oh, I see, no wonder the texture is so clear"

"If the queen likes it, then the concubine will give it to the mother," he said, and was about to take it off his bun

"No need, Concubine Hua's mind, this palace has received it, your body has just recovered, you have to rest more and recuperate"

"Well, thank you for the queen's concern, the concubines don't bother the mother to catch up with her relatives, so she will retire one after another."

"Let's go"

Suddenly, a group of palace maids hurriedly passed in front of them, shouting "fire, fire"

"Where is the fire?" asked Satsuki, holding one of the eunuchs

"Lanting Palace" A little eunuch hurriedly asked for peace and then replied, and after speaking, he hurriedly walked in the direction of Lanting Palace.

"Lanting Palace, isn't that where the former queen lives? , sister, let's go over and have a look," said the three of them and came to Lanting Palace together

The fire was raging here, as if it was going to swallow everything, some of the wooden beams had already been scorched and collapsed, and a strong smell of smoke rushed to Zhu'er's throat, choking her involuntarily coughing a few times.

"Are you alright?" asked Yun'er

"It's okay"

"How could the Lanting Palace suddenly catch fire," Satsuki sighed

"Because someone wants to destroy the evidence, they don't want people to know anything," Zhu'er said in a deep voice

The two looked at Zhu'er with a serious expression, a little foggy.

"What," Yun'er asked rhetorically

"Sister, I'll explain it to you later."

"Satsuki, let's see if Haruko is still there?"

"Yes" Just as Satsuki was about to search for Koharuko, several eunuchs walked out briskly carrying a person, and Satsuki hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, "It's Koharuko"

"It seems that it's still a step too late" Looking at Xiao Chunzi's body, Zhu'er sighed without sighing, such a loyal person who protects the lord is also good, it seems that people's hearts are unpredictable, slowly, and suddenly saw something in Xiao Chunzi's hand: "You guys stop me"

A few eunuchs didn't know what it meant, and the chief eunuch said. "Queen Mother, it's inconvenient for you to come here, what's so beautiful about the dead man, let's cremate him as soon as possible"

Zhu'er recognized that it was the eunuch in Concubine Yang's palace who spoke, how could he be here, could it? This matter is really related to Concubine Yang.

"This palace is the queen, does anyone dare not listen" Zhu'er said sharply

Several people looked at each other, and finally put down Koharuko's body with interest.

Xiao Yue walked over, took off Xiao Chunzi's hand, and an emerald green gem lay quietly on his hand, "It's on the Ruyi hairpin" Zhu'er blurted out. She remembered that Concubine Yang said that this hairpin was precious and hard to find, one was in her, and the other was in Concubine Yang.

"Long Qu, why are you here" Yun'er was surprised, he didn't know that his fiancé would appear in front of him so late.

"I just heard that the Lanting Palace, where the former queen lived, was set on fire, and this matter has already alarmed the emperor, so I must have to dig into it to the end" Long Qu glanced at Yun'er, and then said to Zhu'er

"I know, second prince, can you bring my sister back, I still have something"

"It's okay" Yun'er looked at the serious expressions of the two of them, it seemed that she was hiding something, but she just hoped that Zhu'er wouldn't get into trouble, and asked urgently

"It's okay," Zhu'er comforted, she didn't want her sister to worry about herself, but she had to figure out the truth of the matter.

"Okay, I'll take good care of Yun'er"

"Hmm" Zhu'er looked at Long Qu, who was full of concern, and signaled to him to reassure, and took Xiaoyue straight to Concubine Yang's residence.

As soon as she entered the door, she looked at the emperor, and Zhu'er was a little curious.

"Zhu'er greets the emperor"

"What is the reason why the queen is here so late?"

"Sister, how do you have time to come to me"

"Back to the emperor, the palace just wants to ask Concubine Hua sister one thing, are you still there the wishful hairpin that the queen mother gave you?"

"Why did my sister suddenly ask about this?"

"Lanting Zhai is on fire, Concubine Yang knows"

"Ah, if it weren't for my sister, I really wouldn't know," he said, and couldn't help laughing

"Hongu found this emerald gem in the hands of Koharuko, a former queen minion"

"Hearing the queen say this, you really questioned me"

"I'll ask you if the fire in the Lanting Palace is dead, you asked someone to set it."

"That sister will wronged me"

"I have evidence, this is the emerald and the eunuch by your side"

"What, I don't understand what my sister said, I have always kept the Ruyi hairpin by my side," he said and took out the jade hairpin with a smile.

"Queen, it's not right for you to be so suspicious," Long Yan said a little dissatisfied

Zhu'er is speechless, and her thinking is a little flustered, is it designed by someone?

"By the way, the queen mother said that the eunuch next to me is right, come here, call him over" Concubine Yang said

"Slave to the emperor, queen mother, Concubine Yang please peace"

"Get up"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"I heard that you went to Lanting Palace, right?"

"Yes,

"You are originally from Concubine Yang's palace, what are you doing there, say it quickly" Seeing that the eunuch didn't speak for a while, he said angrily.

"The minion is terrified" said tremblingly: "The minion, the minion is instructed"

"Who's that?"

"Yes, yes, it's the Queen's Mother"

"Shut up, when did I instruct you"

"Slave, this has evidence," he said, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "This is the queen's mother buying my evidence"

"Just with this jade pendant, how can you prove that I gave it to you"

"The servant still has a letter," he said, took it out and presented it to the emperor.

"Queen, look at it," he angrily threw it to Zhu'er.

Indeed, the handwriting imitates the same touch, it is estimated that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false if you see it, Zhu'er glanced at Xiao Yue, she is the only one who can imitate her handwriting, Xiao Yue skimmed her head at this moment, and did not look directly.

"Come on, put the queen in prison and hand it over to the Internal Affairs Office for trial."

Sure enough, all this is a trap they set for themselves, and the most unexpected thing for her is this letter, the people who have been around her for more than ten years will actually betray themselves, only blaming herself for being too easy to trust people, too simple.

"Come on, press the queen down"

Looking at the bound beads, Xiao Yue wanted to speak on the side, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Second prince, the queen mother has been put in prison" A eunuch hurriedly ran over to ventilate the news

"What, Zhu'er was arrested" Yun'er said urgently, "Second prince, you have to save Zhu'er"

"Yun'er, don't worry, don't worry, Zhu'er will definitely come back safely" Long Qu seemed to be comforting himself while saying this.

"Yun'er, you go to visit Zhu'er in prison first, and inquire about the truth, if I go, it will be inconvenient and suspicious."

"Uh-huh"

When I came to the prison, I looked at the dying Zhu'er who was beaten, and saw that her face was pale, her delicate body was scarred, and her white prison clothes had long been soaked with blood. Yun'er hurriedly scolded: "Bold, the queen mother is also the death penalty you dare to beat, who let you use the torture indiscriminately"

"Miss Hui Yun'er, we also do things according to the rules, the queen mother will not confess, and we don't seem to be confessing to the top"

"You," Yun'er said through gritted teeth

"Sister, you're here, I'm fine" Looking at Yun'er's teary eyes, Zhu'er comforted

"Sister, it was Satsuki who betrayed me"

"Xiaoyue, I can't see that it's actually this girl," Yun'er said in surprise

Next, Zhu'er told everything that happened, and Yun'er showed an incredible expression

"You're not done, it's time," the jailer urged

"Don't worry, Zhu'er, we will definitely rescue you"

"Well, let my father and mother rest assured"

"Hmm" Looking at Zhu'er's weak body, Yun'er nodded tearfully.

The dark clouds in the night, pitch black, like an abyss, feeling that if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return, Yun'er stared intently at the slightest light in the distance, like grasping a life-saving straw and running straight away.

"Second prince, that's how things went" Yun'er said everything, she said it in detail, for fear of missing a detail that could be found to turn around.

"It seems that this haunting is a trap, and the purpose is to lure the queen into the bait" Although Long Qu is cynical on weekdays, he is extremely deep at the moment.

"Then what should I do, now Zhu'er has been beaten and dying in prison" Yun'er almost burst out crying

"Xiaoyue, how could she betray her, based on how many times I have gotten along with her, I don't think she is like this kind of person who sells for glory"

"Indeed, I didn't expect that Xiaoyue, the maid, has been by Zhu'er's side since she was a child, and Zhu'er is also very good to her, although the relationship between the two is a master and servant, they are also like sisters."

"In this way, Satsuki has something unspeakable, you can go and see her probe, after all, she was your servant"

"Uh-huh" Yun'er replied firmly, even if there was a glimmer of life, she would fight with all her might.

"Second prince, the emperor is furious at the moment, I heard that Prime Minister Zhang knelt in front of the palace to intercede for the queen"

"Daddy" Yun'er hurriedly rushed out.

"Second prince, should we go?"

"Go"

"Your Majesty, Zhu'er, although she is a little playful, she has no intention of harming others," Prime Minister Zhang knelt on the cold ground and shouted at the closed door.

"Dad, why are you here" Yun'er said distressedly, she wanted to help him up, but she was pushed away, Yun'er knew that with her father's temper, he must be a tendon to the end, and he couldn't afford to kneel, but his father was already in his fifties, and if he did this for a long time, his body would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Prime Minister Zhang, if you can trust me, get up first," Long Qu walked up to him and persuaded

Prime Minister Zhang looked at him for a while, as if considering the truth of what he said, and then looked at him expectantly and excitedly.

Long Qu knew that he wanted a promise, "Don't worry, even if I don't want to take my life, I will protect the queen mother" said firmly

"Okay" Prime Minister Zhang burst into tears of excitement, Yun'er hurriedly walked over and helped him up, because he had been kneeling for a long time, his lower body was a little stiff, and he was slowly helped up by Yun'er and Long Qu.

"Yun'er, help Prime Minister Zhang go back to rest"

"Uh-huh"

Looking at the departing figures of Prime Minister Zhang and Yun'er, Long Qu walked into the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

The hall was lit with incense, a light floral fragrance, mixed with other smells, which made people feel unpredictable.

"Long Qu, are you also here to help the queen intercede" Long Yan said flatly, he slowly put down the fold in his hand and walked to his side.

"Your Majesty, I'm not here to intercede, I'm just here to ask the emperor for a word."

"What's the matter," Long Yan asked with a little interest

"We grew up together with three of us, do you think the queen is that kind of person?"

Long Yan glanced at Long Qu and thought deeply: "But the facts are conclusive, and I can't help it."

"Then what if the younger brother can find out the truth?"

Looking at Long Qu's firm eyes, Long Yan actually didn't believe that Zhu'er would do this, and he didn't want Zhu'er to die, so he paused and said: "If the younger brother can find out the truth, I will pardon the queen's sins, up to ten days."

"Good"

Long Yan thought that he would delay for a few more days, but he didn't expect him to be so resolute, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have one more thing to ask for"

"What's the matter" Long Yan was a little impatient, "Brother Chen, don't get an inch"

"Your Majesty, my brother must say this matter, even if he loses his head."

"Say it, say it"

"Your Majesty, the queen was executed in prison, and now she is dying, so the courtier wants to ask the imperial doctor to show her"

"What? The queen was tortured, I just said that she would be imprisoned, and such a slave is getting more and more bold" Long Yan was a little angry, and he couldn't see the king's law: "Come on, pull down those few people who used the death penalty indiscriminately, and behead me, pass on my will, if there are still people who abuse personal feelings against the queen, they will be severely punished."

"Emperor Xie"

"Let's go"

Yun'er came to the Qinyan Hall where Zhu'er lived, and wanted to find Xiao Yue to find out the truth, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yue had already been transferred to Xianya Palace, that is, Concubine Yang's residence, and I heard that she was now promoted to the maid in charge, according to this matter, it must have been instructed by Concubine Yang, is Xiao Yue really the kind of person who is greedy for vanity? Now I can't touch her at all. What should I do, is this clue about to be broken, Zhu'er is still waiting for her to save her. She has to be calm, by the way, look for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is their aunt, and she naturally loves the two of them in every way, otherwise Zhu'er would not have become the queen as soon as she entered the palace.

"Niece Yun'er asks her aunt to say goodbye"

"Yun'er, how can you have time to come to me today" The Queen Mother was a little surprised, her two nieces, although they also came to visit her on weekdays, but they didn't come much, but they were also happy to see Yun'er today, but it's a pity that Zhu'er, this girl, how did she do something for a while, she was eccentric on weekdays, and she was very pleased, but it was a pity

"Queen Mother, Yun'er has come to visit her aunt"

"Well, Yun'er can come, my aunt is very happy, I don't know how Zhu'er can be so stupid for a while," the Queen Mother said regretfully

"Does the Queen Mother think Zhu'er would do that," Yun'er said tentatively

"The mourning family also thinks it won't, but the fact is in front of you, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, maybe the pearl has changed" Speaking of this time, the queen mother sighed a little, how could she not, from the beginning of ignorance to the current harem power, she has experienced too many palace battles, and I am cheating, and now people are in their twilight years, but they also look down on some things.

Seeing the Queen Mother's sigh, Yun'er knew that it was useless to talk more, so as long as Xiaoyue walked out of Concubine Yang's sight, it would be easy to do.

"Queen Mother, Yun'er will comb your hair" Yun'er picked up a silver-toothed comb inlaid with a phoenix.

"Okay, the mourning family likes Yun'er to comb her hair the most" said happily, after all, she is in her twilight years, her body mechanism is slow, and her hair often falls out, so when the palace maid and eunuch comb his hair, she always loses her hair, which makes her always feel unhappy, today I saw Yun'er comb a few times, clean and neat, there is no hair loss everywhere, I can't help but be overjoyed, look at myself in the mirror with satisfaction, and ask with a smile: "Yun'er, do you want any reward?"

If she talks about Zhu'er at this moment, she is afraid of upsetting the Queen Mother, her purpose is that Xiaoyue can leave Concubine Yang's sight.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Yun'er has nothing else to ask for, as long as her aunt is happy"

"Sensible child, let's do it, the mourning family will reward you with a night pearl"

"Empress Dowager Xie"

"Queen Mother, Yun'er has one more thing"

"Say it"

"Actually, Zhu'er used to be the maid in the palace, Xiaoyue, and she combed her hair much better than Yun'er."

"Yes" The Queen Mother said curiously, there are those who are more superb than Yun'er, she really wants to try it, after all, the combing of hair in the palace always dissatisfies her.

"But"

"What's wrong" Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little anxious, Yun'er knew that it was almost over, so she took this opportunity and continued, "But now Xiaoyue has become the maid by Concubine Yang's side, I'm afraid"

"Oh, Concubine Yang" The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "This is easy to say, tomorrow the mourning family will let people transfer Xiaoyue's girl to the mourning family's palace."

"Mm-hmm" This is much easier, Yun'er thought to herself.
