There was silence inside and outside the Imperial Capital of Beihua, and there was more silence and depression than in the past.

The palace was extremely solemn, the early dynasty had been on for three hours and had not yet ended, and the people inside and outside the court were very anxious.

In the Mingkun Palace, the civil and military officials all bowed their heads and did not dare to make any moves. Empress Daiguo frowned and was silent behind the bead curtain, while Emperor Bei'an was a little satisfied. After all, it is stated that the disease has improved, and I am afraid that only the Queen Mother does not like and is unhappy in this huge court.

Although the Queen Mother is more than forty, she does not look old, as if she is in her early thirties, and she still has a bit of brilliance and severity. The skin is well maintained, moisturized and smooth, fair as jade, with fewer wrinkles, and only a little bit of naturalness. The eyebrows are slender and raised, and the eyes of the Danfeng are very energetic and charming, and they also give birth to a bit of proud momentum; the nose bone is very beautiful, like an eagle's hook, less gentle, more shrewd; the lips are plump and narrow, stained with red, so bright that they are close to roses, like the sunset. When ordinary people saw it, they were naturally shocked and envious, happy and afraid, who made her a famous femme fatale and queen of power in Beihua?

Dressed in luxury, poor in materials and manpower, he can't wait to dress himself up as the most noble queen in the world, and he likes unique things, and he decorates himself like the Queen Mother of the West in the book.

When the Manchu Dynasty was silent for a long time, only the Queen Mother was not in a hurry in the entire hall, and she was still carefully admiring the fire fox flower butterfly brocade on her body.

After a long time, the emperor said softly: "At noon, there are solutions to all matters. The Queen Mother and Zhong Aiqing have worked hard, so let's get up and retire from the dynasty at this moment!"

"Your Majesty Xie!" all the officials rejoiced, and if they were liberated, they first stood stiffly, and then slowly moved their muscles and bones.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother coughed dissatisfiedly, and said in a shuffled tone: "The mourning family still has questions!"

The officials stood upright, not daring to squint for half a minute. Everyone is afraid of the queen mother, and only the emperor can refute one or two and be sympathetic to his subjects.

"Queen Mother, do you still have something to say? If you don't worry, let's eat first!"

The Queen Mother snorted softly, and her voice dragged on for a long time. "Yo, this mourner hasn't said that he is hungry, are you hungry? The displaced people outside and the epidemic are still in the heat, if this matter is not handled well, who has the good heart to eat and rest?"

"Most of the victims have been cured, the relief from the famine has been allocated, and the displaced people have returned to their hometowns. The situation is much quieter, and some of the hot rumors are just about folk medicine women, so what are you worried about?"

"Isn't that still not eradicated?" the Queen Mother glanced at the court dissatisfied, "This matter has reached the capital, and we should have dealt with it, but unexpectedly it was seized by a group of people from the rivers and lakes." Shouldn't we investigate this person?"

"After returning to my mother, Erchen has already sent someone to investigate clearly, and the woman is just kindly administering medicine, and there is no threat to me Beihua. ”

"Is it? Then you have to see the mourning family, you don't know the face but you don't know the heart!" The queen mother turned to the officials below the court, "Zhong Aiqing, do you understand the meaning of the mourning family? According to your opinion, should you mention the medical woman?"

"The Queen Mother is wise, and Weichen agrees!"

Listening to the voice of the hundred officials, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. "In that case, then send someone to please!"

Liu Li sat on the dragon chair, silently watching all the officials disperse, and listened to the Queen Mother handing over the errands to his subordinates. The Queen Mother has always liked to suppress Liu Li, and it seems that this always makes her feel great joy and joy.

It wasn't until everything around him was quiet that Liu Li came back to his senses.

The hall was quiet and lonely, the left and right guards were not around, only a father-in-law who was over half a hundred years old was waiting on the side.

This person is kind-eyed, gentle and humble, and his eyes are full of vicissitudes of life, but he does not provoke dust and glitz. Both inside and outside the palace respect him, after all, he is a person with the imperial surname; the surname "Liu" was given by the emperor, and his status is naturally very high.

Father-in-law Liu served hot tea to Liu Li and reminded him: "Your Majesty, it's already noon!"

"Okay, I'll finish reading this piece before leaving!"

"Your Majesty, don't work too hard, why bother? This is all approved by the Queen Mother, so don't read it!"

"It doesn't matter, although I don't have power in my hands, but I am in this position, and I have to do something. Even if you can't make some contributions, you have to know inside and outside, and you can't live in a mess!" Liu Li said, remembering what had just happened, so he asked worriedly, "What happened to the queen mother after she made her order?

"Yes, I'm afraid that woman will be suspicious again. However, the emperor must not worry about others, and take care of your body first. Since you and the high warrior returned from Xinghua Village, the dragon body has been sick, and you still have to recuperate with peace of mind. If something goes wrong, the old slave can be sorry for the emperor's entrustment!"

Gonggong Liu was originally a personal servant of the first emperor, and after the death of the first emperor, he has been serving and mentioning Liu Li, and he can be regarded as a generation of old ministers in Beihua. Because he invited Liu Li to ascend the throne in accordance with the edict of the previous emperor, the eldest prince was denied the throne, so he offended the queen mother. He had some friendship with the Queen Mother before, but he did not talk warmly and live in harmony for many years.

"Let my father-in-law bother, I've finished reading the recital, let's go to dinner!"

In Xinghua Village, there is an elegant fragrance of flowers in the air, like the smell of gardenias in late spring. There was a drizzle, and the fragrance of flowers condensed in the smell of rain and mist, which made people feel comfortable and peaceful.

The big thing is over, and the four of them are about to say goodbye to General Fengxing, but they suddenly learn a piece of news.

The smoke is faint, the rain has not cleared, and people's hearts seem to be covered with a light mist.

Feng Nuan broke the silence of several people, ran to Lianzi and asked, "Sister, where did the golden butterfly go just now?"

"Feng Nuan, come here!" Feng Xing called Feng Nuan over, apologized to a few people and took her out.

Ji Lin saw that Lan Shui and Xue Ze both had heavy faces, so he said to Lianzi: "This Empress Xue wants to see you, what do you think?

Lianzi shook her head, her eyes full of contempt. "I don't want to go, this Xue Hou is just a lot of things!"

"Hey, Senior Brother, we've completed the task now, so can we use spells?" Ji Lin suddenly asked.

Lan Shui glanced at him lightly and replied calmly, "Count, what do you want to do?"

Ji Lin smiled, "Then doesn't the Xue clan want to see the lotus seed?

"How do you know that there is no one in the palace who can see through this technique?"

"That's... Then let the lotus seed change her face! By the way, didn't the lotus seed show off the appearance of the deacon and medical lady of Xihai Mansion in the past? This time it can be like this! Anyway, it will not suffer a loss to us or Xihai Mansion!"

"I can't let Lianzi enter the palace alone!" Xue Ze pulled Lianzi over, "Didn't you say that mortal dust is complicated? Lianzi is reckless, how can you go?"

Lan Shui soothed Xue Ze and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let Lianzi go, let's reply to Miss Qu first!"

After Lanshui sent Kingdee away, he analyzed the situation again with several people. "Today, the epidemic has been cured and the natural disaster has disappeared. The reputation of the Tianshan Mountains has been proven, and the position of the high priest of Mufan has also been restored. should have returned to the mountain, but the matter was left unresolved, and it was up to Xihai Mansion to express its position. I suspect that they will send one of them anyway, and then we will be out of our hands. ”

"Why is that?"

"There are fewer exchanges between the rivers and lakes and the government, but it is not that exchanges are not important. If the main hall of Xihai Mansion wants to be maintained, a woman will be sent into the palace at will, after all, we are not worried about our people. If they want to be aggressive, they will send the deacon doctor directly, after all, this is a good opportunity!"

"So we'll just have to wait and see what happens?"

"No, we can go back, don't worry about it!"

After Lan Shui finished speaking, Ji Lin and Xue Ze were surprised. "Why, and how do we get the news?"

"A few days ago, I met Mu Fan. He still remembers his duty at all times, and will still do things for Tianshan, and the news depends on him. Lan Shui patted Ji Lin on the shoulder, "There are pigeons, and they don't let you run, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing a few people laughing, Lotus Seed looked a little melancholy. Xue Ze was careful, and saw Lotus Seed's displeasure at a glance, and quietly pulled her to the door.

"You want to say goodbye, right?" Yukisawa whispered to Lianzi, "You go, and thank General Fengxing for us!"

Lianzi nodded happily, "It's just that you're the best for me!"

With that, Lianzi opened the door and ran out. Xue Ze walked indifferently to his senior brother and listened to them quietly.

"Senior brother, this time I am also the second most meritorious hero. When I go back, how will Master reward me?"

"What kind of reward do you want?

Ji Lin smiled softly, "Hey, aren't the lotus seeds going out?" She's a little girl, she doesn't care about this. I've been in Tianshan for so long, but I've never had a serious reward, every time the limelight is occupied by you, this time I have to take advantage of it!"

"Whatever you want, go back and talk about it!"

"Hey, I can't make sense with you!" Ji Lin sighed and complained to Xue Ze, who was smiling and watching the play, "Look at our senior brother, it's okay to be indifferent and ruthless, and he is still indifferent to fame and fortune, how can I live as a helper? Every time I settle a matter, my senior brother always says that he doesn't ask for anything in return, so I can't get out of the light." Oh, I'm so pathetic!"

Xue Ze smiled softly, "It's supposed to be like this, if you want a reward, senior brother, you can do it all by yourself, then you can get the reward naturally!"

"I want to too! The things that can be done by me alone are too insignificant, but the big things need to be carried by the senior brother... Hey, it looks like I'm going to have to work hard!"

Xue Ze smiled softly and asked patiently: "Then senior brother, what reward do you want? Something that you will never forget through the reward must be something special!"

Ji Lin nodded with satisfaction, "It's still my junior sister who understands me, unlike my senior brother who ignores me!"

Lan Shui glanced at Ji Lin coldly, pulled up Xue Ze and left. "We ignored him, and when we went back, we would say a few more kind words for him and see what reward he wanted. ”

"Okay, Lianzi must also be willing to give credit to the second senior brother!"

"Let's go, we have to go back to make holy clothes for lotus seeds!"

"Yes, we have to hurry up and go to the ice pool to have a look, we won't be able to find that moon lotus when it's too late!"

"No need, don't want that one, I'll take you to find the Millennium Moon Lotus!"

Ji Lin watched the two of them talk and walk, and did not turn around to call him, feeling a little lost in his heart: You are not curious and curious, just ask a word? What I am thinking about is really insignificant to you? When will you understand what my heart desires the most!
