The little palace maid shook her head and replied, "I didn't see anything, I only heard the sound of the wind blowing the trees." ”

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but sigh softly, maybe he was really wrong. It wasn't a figure but a tree shadow, and although she comforted herself like this, she didn't feel solid in her heart after all.

So he quickened his pace and walked towards the queen mother's palace.

When I arrived at the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, I saw that the little palace maids and eunuchs were panicked, as if something had happened.

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart, she hurriedly grabbed the arm of a little eunuch and asked out loud, "What happened?" Makes you so flustered? ”

The little eunuch replied with a frightened face: "The ghost shaved her head, and the queen mother was shaved by the ghost." ”

"What!" Ning Shangmo couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

She thought that the Queen Mother's Cining Palace was just an assassin, but she didn't expect such a big event to happen, and the Queen Mother was shaved by a ghost.

It seemed that the dark shadow she had seen just now was a human figure, not a tree shadow.

That figure is very likely to be Tuoba Yanling, no one except her can be so familiar with the layout of the palace, when it was just dark, the god unknowingly sneaked into the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. and was able to avoid people's eyes and ears, and shaved the hair of the Queen Mother.

She walked quickly into Cining Palace and came to the inner hall, where the Queen Mother was lying on the bed, her face pale and frightened.

Seeing her, her eyes were full of surprise, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Mo'er, are you back?" Is it really you? Am I not dreaming? ”

Ning Shangmo walked over quickly, held her hand, knelt in front of the bed, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, you are not dreaming, I am back, I am really back." ”

The Queen Mother nodded happily and said with a smile: "Great, when you come back, the mourning family will be at ease." ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry, it's okay." Ning Shangmo smiled and comforted her.

Then, she briefly told her about Tuoba Yanling, telling her that it was not a ghost who shaved her head, but Tuoba Yanling had just come and shaved off her hair.

After all, the Queen Mother is an elderly person, and she can stand still after experiencing a lot of things.

It can be seen that although she is very frightened in her heart, she tries her best to act as if nothing happened. After all, she is the queen mother of a country, and no matter what she goes through, she can't be undignified.

Now listening to Ning Shangmo's explanation, she is even more relieved.

Nodding and smiling, "If so, then I won't be worried." ”

Then, she asked the palace maid to find out her brocade hat and put it on, pretending to smile easily: "Fortunately, the weather is gradually getting cooler, so it can cover up a thing or two." ”

Ning Shangmo also nodded and smiled: "This brocade hat is so good-looking for the Queen Mother, wait until I go back and ask Zhuqing to help you make a few other styles, I remember that she is the best at making these things." ”

"That's a good feeling, I actually like this kind of brocade hat, it's warm and beautiful to wear in autumn and winter. Don't spread the news that I've been shaved out, lest people outside make irresponsible remarks. The Queen Mother had completely regained her composure and told her with a smile.

Ning Shangmo nodded, "I've already ordered it to go down." ”

"The emperor and Concubine Yun are fine, right? And the little prince. The Queen Mother asked a little nervously.

Originally, Ning Shangmo didn't plan to tell the Queen Mother these things, but in order to convince her that Tuoba Yanling did it, and not some ghost shaved his head, he would tell her.

Having said that, she inevitably followed suit.

"I won't let them have anything to do, Queen Mother, don't worry." Ning Shangmo's voice was deliberately confident, and he comforted her with a smile.

The Queen Mother nodded reassuringly, "With you and Qingyan here, I will be relieved." ”

Then she remembered her pregnancy and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" I've been running around outside these days, how can I afford it. ”

Ning Shangmo smiled: "It's not in the way, my child is very honest with me." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, "Isn't it, the skin is very solid, and the skin is good." ”

Then, she smiled and said to Ning Shangmo: "You go back quickly, lest you stay here for a long time, and they don't worry about coming to find it." It's better not to let the emperor know about my affairs, so as not to make trouble with him. Concubine Yun and state affairs alone are enough for him to toss. ”

Ning Shangmo thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then don't tell them." ”

"I went out and wore a brocade hat, and they couldn't see anything, so as not to make that Tuoba Yanling satisfied, thinking that by shaving my head, I would be able to make a mess of the palace, she didn't think about it." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Ning Shangmo nodded vigorously: "I won't say it, Queen Mother, you rest, I'll go back." ”

Coming out of the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, Ning Shangmo returned to the imperial study, and Ming Qingyan was still talking about state affairs with the emperor.

Seeing her come back, she invariably asked out loud: "Why has it been so long, is the Queen Mother okay?" ”

Ning Shangmo had a tangled expression on her face, she felt that she should still tell them about the Queen Mother.

After listening to her, Yan Nanhao couldn't help but be furious, "This Tuoba slut, I have to catch her broken corpse." ”

Ning Shangmo hurriedly spoke up to stop: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be angry, this not only disappoints the Queen Mother's hard work, but also makes Tuoba Yanling satisfied." What happens in the palace must be blocked from the news, just as if nothing happened. Secretly strengthen the vigilance in the palace, and no longer give her a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Ming Qingyan also echoed loudly: "Leave the outside affairs to us, as long as Tuoba Yanling is still in the imperial city, we can catch her." ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Yan Nanhao nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, he called the leader of the forbidden army in the palace into the imperial study, and instructed him to strengthen the guards of the palace, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, three shifts, not even a mosquito can fly in.

If a mosquito flies in, it will be killed with a stick.

The leader of the forbidden army took the order to go, and the emperor gave a death order, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, otherwise it would not be a joke to move his head.

Ming Qingyan was still a little uneasy, and he sent someone to arrange a secret post outside the palace.

In this way, after tossing for most of the night, he returned to Xiangfu with Ning Shangmo.

"Madam, you've been tired all day long, and you've been tossing for most of the night, are you tired? You lie down and rest, and your husband helps you beat your back. Ming lightly helped Ning Shangmo to the bed and said softly.

Ning Shangmo smiled: "You can sleep too, aren't you tossing with me?" You are not iron-beaten, you are tired, and you need to rest, I am fine, I have been very solid since I was a child. In the palace, I also told the Queen Mother that in the future, our little baby will definitely follow me, and the skin will be solid. ”

Ming Qingyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Did you say bad things about me?" ”

"Why do you speak ill?" Ning Shangmo looked at him innocently and asked.

"Maybe you say that I am weak, and the doll will not follow me in the future, and I have been raising it with medicine since I was a child." Ming Qingyan smiled very self-knowingly.

"I really didn't say anything about you. How can there be kung fu, the Queen Mother was shaved by Tuoba Yanling, and she felt uncomfortable, so I chatted with her. She was worried that I would be tired and hurt the baby, so I explained it to her. Ning Shangmo didn't know where his good temper came from, and patiently explained to him.

Zhu Ye Zhuqing, who was standing next to him and waiting, couldn't help but cover his mouth and steal fun when he saw this.

Now that the young lady and her aunt are getting along more and more affectionately, they are all warm in their hearts. Thinking of the near future, the little lady or the little boy will be born, and how beautiful it will be for the family to be harmonious.

Ning Shangmo casually caught a glimpse of their smiles, and hurriedly smiled: "You don't need to serve here, go to sleep." ”

Zhuqing Zhuye Fu responded: "Okay, Miss, let's go to sleep." ”

After they left, Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan also fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, when Ming Qingyan woke up, Ning Shangmo was still sleeping.

He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he got out of bed gently, got dressed, and came to the outer hall.

He first instructed Ming Yu and Ming Qing to strengthen the guard work of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tuoba Yanling could not enter the palace, and it was possible that he might visit here. Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions and not let her in.

Ming Qingming Yu took the order and left, and he himself went to the Yamen of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and asked the Admiral of the Nine Gates for some powerful catches, and carried out a city-wide hunt with him.

When Ning Shangmo woke up, the sun was already three poles up.

She was so tired. After rushing for days, she entered the palace when she arrived at the imperial city, and experienced those things again, which made her feel haggard. That's why she didn't hear when she woke up at this time.

"Someone." She stood up and shouted.

Zhu Yu responded and asked with a smile, "Miss, are you up?" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to serve Ning Shangmo to wash his face and comb his hair.

"What about the light words?" Ning Shangmo asked out loud.

Zhuyu shook his head and responded, "Uncle quickly got up and went to the front hall, let's not disturb your sleep." He never came back. ”

Ning Shangmo nodded, she knew that Ming Qingyan would definitely go to the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion to start the operation of arresting Tuoba Yanling.

is not in a hurry, after eating, she raised her voice and told Zhuqing to let the people outside prepare the carriage, and she was going out.

Soon Zhuqing prepared the carriage, Ning Shangmo stood up, and when he was about to go out, Mingmei came in, and Fu Shen smiled: "Meet Mrs. Mingxiang, I just heard Ning Yi say that you are back this morning, what about Xiangye?" ”

Ning Shangmo saw that her face was slightly haggard, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is your face not very good, is it not feeling well?" ”

Mingmei shook her head and smiled: "It may be that she has just sat in the womb, her body is not adaptable, and she always feels tired and weak, and she is not in the way." ”

"Xiangye went out early in the morning. Mingmei, I'll check your pulse to see if you need to recuperate. Ning Shangmo took her arm and helped her sit on the couch, then stretched out his hand to put it on her wrist artery and began to check her pulse.

"Yes, in good physical condition. Physical fatigue may be a normal reaction of different physiques in the early stages of pregnancy, and there is no need for deliberate conditioning, and more bed rest is required recently. When the tire sits firmly, the uncomfortable symptoms will naturally disappear. Ning Shangmo took his fingers away from her wrist artery and smiled.

Mingmei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a smile: "So I'm also relieved, I've been worried about it these days." ”
