Chapter 164: Meditation

The rockery caves on the edge of the Emerald Lake are intricate, and once people run into the rockery, they are basically lost. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

Xiao Guzi and Xiao Huizi chased in the cave for a long time with the palace lantern, and finally returned to no avail.

Later, the night patrol eunuchs of Yijing Palace searched in Yijing Palace with palace lanterns, but they could not find it in the end.

The sky gradually brightened in the chaotic footsteps of the palace people, and the sun slowly rose from the east, reflecting the thin clouds of fish scales on the horizon.

In the Guan Ju Palace, it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly.

Li Qingmu sat on the rose chair and drank a cup of hot water without tea.

Empress Qin sat on the main seat, wearing a phoenix robe, and her waist-length green silk hair bun was casually tied behind her head. Her face was slightly pale, her brows furrowed, and her face was angry. Balsam stood behind her and gently pressed her temples with her hand.

Yao Yuan, Fourteen, Xiao Guzi, and Xiao Huizi knelt on the ground in the main hall, their faces bloodless. In front of them was a tray of flesh and blood that had been taken out of the baggage.

When he was on the stone bridge, Yao Yuan didn't take a closer look at this thing because of the dim light.

Now in this brightly lit hall, he saw that the piece of flesh and blood was extremely complete, and he could distinguish the head, calves, and hands on a closer look, and even the hand fat on the small hands.

Li Qingmu's tender white hand tips were scalded numb by the hot water in the cup, and finally there was a slight tingling sensation.

She looked up at Empress Qin and found that Empress Qin was also looking at her with her eyes slightly open.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Qingmu spoke softly, breaking the silence in the main hall.

"Queen Mother, your face is very bad. Seeing that the sky is bright, you go back to rest, the phoenix body is important. ”

Empress Qin took a deep breath and sat up straight on the main seat, and said with a calm face, "This kind of thing happened in the harem, how can this palace sleep?" They live in beautiful houses all day long, and are provided by the royal family, but in the end, they are not even willing to give birth to an heir to the royal family. ”

Slapping the table in her hand, Empress Qin said angrily, "Such concubines have even forgotten the family law of their ancestors, what use do you want them!" ”

Li Qingmu got up from the chair, bowed down to Empress Qin, and said softly, "Empress Mother, please calm your anger." ”

The palace people in the entire hall followed Li Qingmufu and said in unison, "Please also ask the queen to calm her anger." ”

Empress Qin's brows tightened again, she groaned and put her hand on her forehead, waved her hand to Li Qingmu and said, "Mrs. Zhaorong, as the lord of Yijing Palace, don't you pay attention to the concubines in your palace on weekdays, are there any signs of abnormality?" ”

Li Qingmu stood up with Empress Qin's gesture, thought carefully, and said apologetically to Empress Qin, "The queen's mother, concubine, concubine is still young, and she has never given birth to an heir, so I really can't think of ......."

"That's it." Empress Qin sighed and said, "Asking you now is also embarrassing for you!" If it weren't for the fact that you went for a walk on the Emerald Lake with a tightened chest, I am afraid that you would not be able to touch that palace maid and expose the evil deeds of destroying the Nine Clans......"

Li Qingmu lowered his head and said respectfully to Queen Qin, "Speaking of which, there is no way for the concubine to teach the people in the palace, otherwise, otherwise, it will ......."

"It's true that you can't teach!" Empress Qin raised her eyes, looked at Li Qingmu sharply, and said fiercely, "Since you got married, this palace has repeatedly told you to be careful. But you have always taken the words of this palace as the wind in your ears, ignoring them, if you talk about the person who should be punished, the first is the person who did the evil deeds, and the second is you, the master of Yijing Palace! ”

Li Qingmu fell to the ground on his knees when he heard this, and said to Queen Qin with a panicked expression, "The concubine knows her mistake, and she asks the queen to punish her severely!" ”

When Li Qingmu came to Guanju Palace with Xiao Fengzi, he thought that Empress Qin would push the abortion on herself. But she didn't want Queen Qin to be unusually lenient, and she was excluded from suspicion because she was a princess and would not do such a thing to damage the imperial heir.

Right now, Empress Qin wants her to govern the palace and have no way to deal with her, she really has nothing to say.

After all, she really didn't pay attention to the palace affairs of Yijing Palace.

Painting the Liang Palace, every single day every month is the day when the concubines in the palace go to ask for peace. No matter how busy Madame Yu is, she will find time to sit with the concubines of the first palace. If any of the concubines did not arrive due to physical discomfort, Madame Yu would immediately call the imperial doctor to go for treatment.

Even if there is no main lady in Huayao Palace, Wen Zhaoyi will recruit the concubines in the palace to sit in her palace every three days.

Only her Yijing Palace will recruit the concubines in the palace to gather in one place every seven days, and it is just a matter of going through the motions.

If the concubine doesn't come, she just needs to send a little palace maid to inform her. She has never been 'enthusiastic' to a certain palace to visit a certain concubine, not even Wen Chongyuan, let alone ask the imperial doctor to treat her.

In the final analysis, it was her laxity that gave the concubines a chance to be called.

Empress Qin glared at Li Qingmu for a long time, and finally closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "You get up first, this matter will be recorded for you in this palace first." When I return to the emperor, I will worry about you! ”

Li Qingmu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and stood up with the help of Cai Xiang.

She was not afraid that Empress Qin would tell Emperor Jianning about the matter, but she was afraid that Empress Qin would dispose of herself privately.

Thinking of Emperor Jianning, Li Qingmu's gaze swept to the fist-sized piece of meat again.

That, eighty percent may be the flesh and blood of Emperor Jianning. When he knew, he didn't know how angry he would go.

On the third day of the fourth month of the third year of Jianning, the last group of eunuchs who went out to inspect came back.

They couldn't find the palace maid in Yijing Palace.

Li Qingmu's half-inch-long nails were broken in the palm of his hand. She held back her dark breath in her heart, angry that Xiaoguzi and Xiaohuizi failed to take down the little palace maid, and angry at the rockery in Yijing Palace, why are there so many caves!

Empress Qin exhaled deeply, raised her head and said coldly to Li Qingmu, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, you haven't slept all night, it stands to reason that you should be allowed to go back and rest......"

"Concubines are not tired." Li Qingmu bowed his head to Queen Qin and said, "Also, I can't sleep......

"I can't sleep." Empress Qin said to the balsam beside her, "You let the palace people tell you to go down, just say that the palace and Mrs. Zhaoyue have something to discuss, and there is no need for them to come to ask for peace today." ”

The women in Queen Qin's mouth are the concubines of the three palaces.

Turning his head and saying to Li Qingmu, "You will wait here with the palace, and when the emperor goes to court, you will report this matter to the emperor together." ”

Li Qingmu said respectfully, "Yes, everything is arranged by the queen." ”

Empress Qin glanced at the piece of flesh and blood placed on the ground, frowned, and said to the balsam, "Let people take it down, this palace will see heartache." ”

Balsam hurriedly ordered someone to take the tray out, and asked Yao Yuan and the four of them to wait outside the hall.

The rest of the time, Empress Qin and Li Qingmu sat in the main hall. Empress Qin supported her forehead with her hand, and her frowning brows never relaxed.

Li Qingmu was stunned when he looked at the gorgeous decorations in the hall, and slowly walked away.

It wasn't until a little palace maid softly put a teacup on the table next to Li Qingmu's hand that Li Qingmu came back to his senses.

After a shudder, she shrank herself back in her chair.

At two o'clock, Balsam asked Empress Qin softly, "Queen Mother, but do you pass breakfast?" ”

"Hongu has no appetite." Empress Qin said with a deep sigh. Immediately, Empress Qin opened her eyes, looked at Li Qingmu and asked, "Lady Zhaoyue, do you want some food?" ”

Li Qingmu shook his head, the steps on his head shook gently, "If you go back to the queen's mother, the concubine has no appetite." ”

"Alas......" Empress Qin sighed deeply and closed her eyes again.

Cai Xiang looked at Li Qingmu's pale and transparent face, and her eyes were full of distress. The day before, Li Qingmu had been standing in the sun for a long time, and he was feeling uncomfortable. Now I've been sitting all night, and I can't say how uncomfortable it is.

The hour was approaching, and a eunuch finally sang outside the Guan Ju Palace, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Empress Qin opened her eyes and stood up from the main seat with her hand holding the balm.

Li Qingmu also stood up with the hand of picking incense, and handed his gaze to the door of the hall.

Under the golden sunlight pouring in from outside the door, Emperor Jianning, dressed in a dragon robe, strode in from the outside. The eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the slightly thin lips were tightly pursed together, and the dragon's eyes revealed a domineering aura that only an emperor can have.

Emperor Jianning saw Li Qingmu standing on one side and bless himself, and a trace of surprise crossed his eyes. Then he looked at Empress Qin with an inquiring gaze.

He was called here by Empress Qin's people as soon as he was in the early court, and he didn't know what had happened.

Empress Qin came over, and after bowing down to Emperor Jianning, she said with a sad face, "The emperor is busy with state affairs day and night, and the affairs of the harem should not be said to the emperor." But now ......"

Emperor Jianning walked to the main seat and sat down, his sharp gaze swept over Empress Qin and Li Qingmu's bodies one after another, and raised his sword eyebrows and said, "The queen is waiting here for me with her hair untied, she must have encountered something difficult to choose." Say anything ......"

Empress Qin raised her hand and stroked her long hair, smiled apologetically at Emperor Jianning, and said, "It's the concubine who has lost her honor, but this matter is not trivial, and I can't take care of it much." ”

"Lady Akitsuki." Empress Qin beckoned to Li Qingmu and whispered, "Let's talk about this matter to the emperor in detail." ”

Li Qingmu raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Empress Qin twice, walked in front of Emperor Jianning, lifted her skirt and knelt down. [miao] [bi] [ge].com!

Emperor Jianning's heart tightened, and his face tightened by three points. He shook his right hand a few times, and it took a lot of effort to hold back Li Qingmu, who had no trace of blood on his face, from the ground.

Emperor Jianning raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile as soft as possible, "But my Zhaoyue is in trouble again?" ”

This was the only reason he could think of, only if Li Qingmu was in trouble and was taken by Empress Qin, he would look like this.

"Lady Zhaoyue has always been a sensible person." Empress Qin hurriedly said on the side, "If it is really Mrs. Zhaoyue who is causing trouble, the concubine is making a mistake for personal gain, and she will definitely not let the emperor come here to Guanju Palace in his busy schedule." ”

"What's that?" Emperor Jianning finally couldn't hold back, bent down and grabbed Li Qingmu's hand to help her up, and said, "You stand up and talk back." ”

The coldness of the hand made Emperor Jianning feel distressed in his heart.

Li Qingmu withdrew his hand, pulled his hand out of Emperor Jianning's generous and warm hand, lowered his head and said to Emperor Jianning, "If you go back to the emperor, last night, someone in the palace found that a little palace maid went to the Emerald Lake of Yijing Palace to cast a ...... in the emerald lake."
