Chapter Ninety-Seven: Downfall

Early in the morning of the second day.

Breakfast time.

In the lotus hall, the queen leaned on the side of the round table with vermilion lacquer, the silver chopsticks in her hand moved, and the maid held a spittoon and tea, waiting on the side.

"Niangniang, Qi Cainu is asking to see you outside."

The man on the embroidery stool raised his eyelids and squinted at the maidservant, frowning slightly.

"What is she here for?"

The next moment, the eyelid drooped again.

Inside the main hall, it was very silent, only the sound of silver chopsticks and bowls colliding, making a slight sound.

"Tell her to go back, just say that this palace has a headache and I don't want to see anyone."

"Yes."

"Wait!"

She remembered something, turned her head, tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and pointed to a green ruyi on the couch.

"The wound on her leg is not yet healed, so take this and give it to her! In addition......" She glanced at the bright moon beside her, "Recently, the emperor went to Qionghua Palace, and he was all at the good concubine?" ”

The people around him nodded: "Yes, master." ”

The corners of the queen's mouth suddenly bloomed into a smile.

"That's right, Concubine Feng died in childbirth, the emperor's heart was not happy, the good concubine served meritorious, you pick a few good ones from the jewelry in the palace, send it to her in person, and tell her to ......"

"Work harder, sooner for the royal ...... Spread out! ”

Mingyue grinned.

"Yes, the master's meaning, the slave and the maid understand."

Outside the Fengqi Pavilion Palace.

Qi Cainu was wearing light makeup and plain clothes, standing by the palace gate and waiting, her graceful posture in the past, but now she looked at it from a distance, but she was already a lot slimmer, and her beautiful eyes that looked forward to the brilliance also lost their brilliance and became very sluggish.

The handmaid came out with a tray on her back.

When she saw it, her expression moved, and she immediately flew up to meet it, and firmly grabbed the handmaid's arm.

"How? Will the queen see me? ”

The maidservant squatted for two thousand blessings first.

"Little Lord Qi misunderstood, the queen always remembers the little master, how can she refuse to see you? It's really a headache for my mother, and it's inconvenient to meet people. It's not ......."

Her eyes glanced at the tray.

"This is the queen's favorite object, and the mother asked the slave to give it to the little master, adding joy to the little master."

"Joyful?"

"Hehe......"

Qi Cainu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes were pitiful, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, with a wry smile on her face. But in the next moment, the voice of the wry smile suddenly became pathetic.

"Even the queen thinks that I am a bad luck now?!"

"Concubines are not favored ...... now"

Her tone was fierce, and she had no pity at all, and stared directly at the person in front of her.

"But in the end...... The emperor still likes me! ”

"Slaves don't dare!"

The maid half-crouched down, but her expression was not the slightest fear.

"This is the kindness of the mother, don't misunderstand, I heard that the emperor ......" The maid raised her head and glanced at her, her tone was slightly hesitant, "I haven't seen the little master for a long time, the mother rewarded this green ruyi, it is for you to draw a good fortune!" ”

After saying this, Qi Cainu was thoughtful.

She held Guan Yan's hand and suddenly exerted her strength.

Although it fell to such a point, the arrogance was still not reduced by half, and the slender neck was slightly raised, stubborn, and swallowed a breath.

"Yes, concubine...... I see. ”

A pair of sparkling eyes swept to the ground.

"Concubine, thank you for the queen's reward!"

After speaking, she brushed in the direction of the temple gate, then dropped her sleeves and walked away.

Guan Yan's eyes had already burst into tears.

Seeing the master leaving, she hurriedly took the tray and went straight to chase the back.

"Master...... Master......"

"In broad daylight, howl what?!"

Qi Cainu turned her head and glared at her angrily.

Looking at the brocade on the tray, she lifted it, then picked up the green Ruyi, raised her hand, and was about to throw it to the ground......

"Master, no!"

Guan Yan's eyes widened, his eyes were round with fright, and his voice trembled.

The person in front of him sneered.

"What are you nervous about?" She glanced at Guan Yan with contempt, "The things that the queen mother rewarded, even if I borrow ten guts, I don't dare to fall ...... Take it back and keep it safe! ”

As she spoke, she put the object down, clapped her hands, and covered it again.

Guan Yan was silent.

The two walked one after the other, under the palace walls.

The person walking in front was pale, but under his hands, he was tearing his handkerchief and handkerchief, and his eyes were scarlet, as if he was about to eat people at any time.

Outside the Qionghua Palace.

As soon as he walked into the palace gate, Qi heard the laughter in the main hall from a distance.

"Concubine, thank you for your concern!"

"Niangniang waits hard for the emperor, our mother has been thinking about it, and now the heirs of the harem are scarce, and our mother is still looking forward to it!"

The people outside stopped, lay at the gate of the palace, and listened intently.

"Yes......"

"The concubine must do her best to live up to her mother's love!"

Qi Cainu wanted to listen again, but saw Mingyue beside the queen walking out of the hall, and the good concubine was standing at the entrance of the hall, smiling, looking at the direction of Mingyue's departure.

In the blink of an eye, the man walked towards her.

The action was so fast that she couldn't dodge at all!

"Yo...... Auspicious little master! ”

Seeing people, Mingyue greeted them first and bowed.

The people in front of him are sneering.

"The girl is so ......", Qi Cainu tried her best to maintain her dignity, her eyes rolled faintly, and she glanced at the main hall, "Girl, this is for Sister Liang...... Gift-giving? ”

Hearing this, Mingyue smiled.

"The queen got up early today, went through the files in the room, remembered the hard work of the concubines, and specially ordered the slaves and maids to come to condole."

Qi suddenly sneered.

"What? The Queen Mother is not ...... Do you have a headache? Still have the energy to manage the net room? ”

Mingyue smiled, stared at the eyes of the person in front of her, and lowered her voice very low.

"So...... It's going to be a headache. ”

Just this sentence, Qi's eyelids jumped.

"The girl is talking about ......"

"The queen mother manages the six palaces hard, even if it is a headache, it is also a common thing, the little master must not worry, if the next time she is free, the mother will definitely meet the little master."

After speaking, the bright moon flickered.

"The slave and maid are gone."

Her steps were hurried, leaving the Qi family alone, still stunned in place.

"Master, let's go."

There was no reaction before the meeting, and Guan Yan cautiously raised his tone again.

"Master?"

"Huh?!"

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

She paused, and said carefully: "Don't be sad, the queen mother didn't see us, maybe it was because of a headache......"

The latter words, but Qi couldn't listen to them anymore.

She glared at the main hall and turned back to scold.

"I'm dizzy after drinking the meat soup! What kind of tongue are you chewing?! ”

As she spoke, she lifted the brocade in the tray, picked up the green Ruyi, and stroked it carefully, and swept away the decadence of Fang Cai, with a very enchanting and proud expression.

"The queen mother and the love of the sixth palace, who are you not just rewarded? What are you doing in vain! ”

The maidservant hurriedly lowered her head.

"Yes, the slave doesn't dare."

Inside the main hall.

Yuya was standing behind the gate of the temple, looking at the scene outside, and her heart was simply happy.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Master, did you hear me?"

She hurried in excitedly, rubbing her shoulders for the concubine, and her tone was smug.

"Just outside our hall, there is a fox, looking at the grapes in our hall, very greedy, but it's a pity, no matter how sour this grape is, it only grows in our hall."

"Look at the people outside...... No...... Go! ”

When she said the last three words, she deliberately dragged out her voice.

The good concubine stretched out her finger, touched her eyebrows, and scolded with a smile:

"Dead hooves!"

"You've learned to be so sharp-tongued! The people at the head of the house have always been small families, so you are not allowed to follow Hu Lai. ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

Yuya shook her head slowly, a smile on her lips.

"The Qi Mansion is not educated, we are different!"

As she spoke, she squeezed her shoulders and became more attentive.

"Just now, Father-in-law Xia came to pass the word, saying that the emperor is coming tonight, are you preparing in advance? Slaves and maids should go and prepare. ”

A flush appeared on the concubine's face.

"What's the hurry? It's not the first time the emperor has come, look at you! Catch up with Ming'er and let you ......"

She was suddenly silent.

The smiling eyes suddenly became cold, and she slowly turned her head away, staring at the face of the person in front of her, looking extremely vigilant.

Tanya touched her face.

"Master...... You...... What's wrong with you? ”

After a long time, the good concubine just smiled.

She looked at the incense spoon in her hand, stunned for a moment, but shook her head.

"Look at this palace, why are you even suspicious? You are the dowry girl of this palace, it seems that these days, you are really ...... by that slut It's uneasy. ”

Yuya pursed her lips tightly, not daring to speak again.

"The tea is cold, the slave will change it for you."

After speaking, without waiting for the person in front of her to react, she hurriedly retreated.

There was a sound of "tuk tuk" footsteps in the hall, and the footsteps were on the ground, almost running out with small broken steps.
