Chapter 1177: Your Majesty, Please Return to the Palace as Soon as You Hurry Up (24)
When Qian Qian and Mu Xijing arrived at Ningshou Palace, the sixth princess and the seventh princess also arrived, they were the only two princesses who lived in the palace and were not married, plus Qian Qian and Mu Xijing, there were only these four underage children left in the entire palace.
The sixth princess and the seventh princess were obviously dragged up from the bed in a hurry, and their biological mother also had loose hair, cloaks, and hugged her daughter in various ways.
Qian Qian and Mu Xijing, the two lonely children, were as disheveled as they fled, but fortunately there were girls and grandmothers by their side, otherwise they couldn't be worse than the sixth and seventh princesses. Mu Xijing, like a responsible little brother, led Qian Qian to stand under the wall of the palace wall of Ningshou Palace, and watched the messy courtyard with cold eyes.
There was such a big thing in the palace, the queen mother was alarmed, and almost all the concubines with heads and faces rushed to the queen mother to say hello first, and when the next instructions were given, even the queen hurriedly came over in a sedan chair.
It happened suddenly, it was the middle of the night, almost all the concubines had already slept, everyone had already taken off their makeup, scattered their hair, hurriedly dressed and rushed out, there was only one person who was special, that was Concubine Xie.
The young queen has also taken off her makeup, removed the fine purple jasmine powder, revealing slightly dull skin, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and pale lips made her look old against the backdrop of the brightly lit wind lamps and candles in Ningshou Palace.
But although Concubine Xie Guifei, who is older than the queen, also has loose hair and looks like she hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, her face is neatly powdered, and there seems to be rouge on her lips.
A group of warblers and swallows gathered together, but no one dared to speak casually, and looked at the gate of the main hall of the Queen Mother's Ningshou Palace with some solemnity. Soon the door opened, and the Queen Mother was helped out by the maids, wearing a cloak, her hair casually curled, and a soft hat to protect her from the wind at night.
As soon as the queen mother came out, the guards who went to the Qingxi Palace to find out the news had already rushed over, bringing the worst news, the seventeenth prince was unable to return to the sky, Xu Guifei fainted and miscarried, the imperial doctor was doing his best to treat him, and the emperor was furious.
After receiving the bad news, the Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly, and then looked around with a solemn face at the warblers and Yanyan gathered in the courtyard, and then opened her mouth and gave an order, although her voice was not loud, but it was quite majestic: "Don't panic!" Stay above the concubine position, wait a minute, follow me to the Qingxi Hall to have a look, everyone else is scattered, and they are not allowed to walk around when they return to their palaces. The children stayed with me, and Ru Ying went to boil the soothing soup, gave the children a drink, and waited for them to sleep. ”
The concubines bent down and listened quietly to the order, and then the low-ranking concubines saluted and turned to leave, and there were only the queen and two concubines and four concubines standing in the courtyard. Just these few people are standing, and Xie Guifei, who has perfect makeup, looks particularly outstanding, which will naturally attract the attention of others.
"Sister Xie's makeup is good-looking." Without waiting for the Queen Mother to give further instructions, Concubine Xiao suddenly rushed to speak: "It's so late, my hair is removed, and my makeup is meticulous, is it possible that Sister Xie sleeps like this every day." ”
Concubine Xie's face changed, and she just opened her mouth to say something, but was decisively stopped by the queen: "Okay!" The queen mother is here, chewing less tongue, and the children are still standing in the yard! I don't know what the situation is in the Qingxi Palace, do more business and talk less! ”
The Queen Mother glanced around with a gloomy face, and did not express any opinions, but waved directly at the children: "Don't look here, go and rest, there is nothing to do here that the children need to be involved." Don't be afraid, the Imperial Grandmother has three layers of internal guards here, and even assassins will not be able to harm you. ”
The sixth princess, the seventh princess, Qian Qian and Mu Xijing saluted the queen mother, and followed the palace maid all the way to the apse. The mothers of the sixth and seventh princesses were sent back by the queen mother, and the two girls were a little scared and discussed sleeping together, while Mu Xijing had been with Qian Qian.
"You're all out there." After drinking the soothing soup given by the Queen Mother, Mu Xijing instructed the Queen Mother's palace maids: "I will accompany Jinghe here, and leave Mama Jingxia and Yueyang to serve." ”
It is expedient, Qian Qian is a child who has just turned six years old, and even Mu Xijing is only ten years old, so the palace maids in the Queen Mother's palace have no theory, only when the two children are afraid and want to be each other's companions, so they all quietly withdrew.
As soon as they left, Mama Jingxia and Yueyang immediately stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from suddenly coming in. It is not necessary for Yueyang and Mama Jingxia to bother, there are 7788, Qian Qian knows that outsiders can't hear her chatting with Mu Xijing.
"Who do you think it is?" As soon as the palace maid walked away, Mu Xijing opened her mouth, although it was a brainless question, but Qian Qian still understood in seconds.
"Most of it was Concubine Xie Guifei's hand, looking at her calm appearance just now, it seems that she has been prepared for something big to happen tonight." Qian Qian replied: "The fat powder in the middle of the night is evenly stopped, the makeup is complete, and she doesn't sleep at first glance, but don't say that she dresses up so carefully to wait for the emperor." But ......"
"However, she is the one who did it, and the person behind it is not necessarily who it is." Mu Xijing's tone was sure to make up for the second half of Qian Qian's sentence: "The imperial grandmother and the queen mother also look very calm......
"Although the Queen Mother is not happy to see the seventeenth prince become the crown prince, she doesn't need to kill her own grandson." Qian Qian shook his head: "If it is the Queen Mother, it should be Xu Guifei who died today, not the Seventeenth Prince." Xu Guifei is not from a big family, her mother's family is not strong, and the seventeenth prince loses his mother, even if he sits on the crown prince, he will be pulled down sooner or later. ”
"You little girl." Mu Xijing suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed Qian Qian's brain: "It's only six years old, and I can't wait to have 10,000 hearts and eyes, and it's difficult for you to live in the palace at a young age." ”
"My brother is only ten years old." Qian Qian's face was serious, and he told very seriously: "Although no one is paying attention to my brother at the moment, you still have to be careful, someone has already started to do it, the seventeenth prince is dead, I don't believe that Xu Guifei will endure this breath, the peace on the surface is broken, and there will be no more things like before in this palace." ”
"Me?" Mu Xijing pulled the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile: "The prince who has no biological mother to take care of him is basically hopeless in the position of the crown prince, who cares about my life!" ”
"I guess Concubine Xie will be turned out soon." Qian Qian shook his head: "The emperor favors the noble concubine so much, he will not give up, and only take two slaves and maids to take the blame." He will definitely order a thorough investigation, if Concubine Xie falls, the eldest prince will naturally not be able to stand, and there are only three princes left in the emperor......"
