Li Ren's face was a little ugly, but he just urged the eunuchs who were driving outside to move sharply, Xu was his anxiety was seen by He Xi, so he explained: "The slave has been out of the palace for a long time, and the Queen Mother hurt her waist that day, it is not appropriate to wait for a long time, Sister Mu forgive me——"

He Xi didn't expose it, hummed softly, and leaned against the wall of the carriage to close his eyes and recuperate.

Soon, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and after a while, the eunuch outside said, "Gonggong Li, it's here." ”

Li Ren answered softly, and then said to He Xi: "Sister Mu, please-"

Immediately lifted the curtain of the car and went out, Ruyi helped He Xi get out of the carriage, and with He Xi's kung fu leaning over, Ruyi said quickly: "The slave has already left a message for Mr. Liang, if we don't have any news in three days, Mr. Liang will definitely notice it and will rush back as soon as possible." ”

He Xi hummed softly, which was considered to be a response, Li Ren saw that they were moving slowly, so he hurriedly walked over and urged: "Sister Mu, hurry up, if the Queen Mother is unhappy, the slave will also have to suffer." ”

He Xi raised his head slightly, only to see that the door they were at was not the main gate where ordinary ministers and ladies entered and exited, and a line of internal servants in charge of purchasing slowly walked over in the distance, and when he saw Li Ren, he hurriedly saluted and avoided the side.

Li Ren's face was ugly, and he explained: "The slave thinks that this gate is relatively close to the Empress Dowager's Yikun Palace, so I chose this path, and Sister Mu won't mind." ”

He Xi slandered in his heart, but said calmly: "No, since we are worried that the Queen Mother is in a hurry, let's hurry up." ”

Li Ren didn't expect He Xi to be so foolish, so he relaxed his heart a little, and quickly let people open the palace gate and welcome a few people in.

Inside the palace gate, there has long been a shoulder waiting, He Xi along the way, just secretly observing the movement around here, quiet, and quiet, it stands to reason that this palace gate is responsible for the palace maids and eunuchs who are responsible for going out of the palace to buy often come and go, and now the air is getting warmer, and many fresh vegetables and fruits have to be sent out to buy every day, but except for the team of people that He Xi saw, there are no other people.

Soon, the group arrived at Yikun Palace, but they didn't want the palace door to be closed, Li Ren cleared his throat and asked, "Can the Queen Mother rest?" ”

The maid glanced at He Xi, who was standing behind Li Ren in an orderly manner, and replied, "Gonggong Li, why did you come back?" The Queen Mother just had more than enough back pain, and now she has taken medicine and rested. ”

Li Ren sighed, looked at He Xi with some apologies, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Sister Mu, let's hurry up, but I don't want to be in a hurry if I can't come-"

He Xi shook her head slightly to indicate that it was okay, and the palace maid glanced at He Xi and said in a timely manner: "But before going to bed, the Queen Mother is the queen mother, if Sister Mu enters the palace, please ask Sister Mu to stay for a while, or stay in the palace directly for dinner." ”

He Xi already knew that when she came in today, she didn't want to go out of the palace again, but the top priority was to figure out what was going on, she nodded obediently, and Li Ren saw that she was obedient, so he also took the opportunity to say: "It just so happens that there is a clean side hall next to it, Sister Mu and go to rest, if the Queen Mother wakes up, the slave will go to inform Sister." ”

Fu turned around again and called to the inconspicuous palace maid under the corridor: "Zhu'er, Sister Mu is not very familiar with Yikun Palace, you are waiting closely, don't have any mistakes-"

Zhu'er immediately stepped forward and nodded respectfully, "The slave obeys—"

He Xi followed Zhu'er into the side hall, Zhu'er closed the door casually, Ruyi was secretly vigilant in her heart, and unconsciously took half a step forward, blocking half of her body in front of He Xi.

He Xi looked around, there were only two long windows in this side hall, but they were all closed at this time, if she guessed correctly, she should have been nailed to death from the outside at this time.

She sat down slowly, poured a cup of tea herself, and asked, "Why don't you see the county lord?" ”

Zhu'er was not surprised, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the Queen Mother injured her waist, and the county lord was very anxious, so she burned incense and prayed in the Fantang all day long, hoping that the Queen Mother could recover as soon as possible, and she wanted to fast and chant for 7749 days, and no one should disturb her." ”

He Xi slowly put down the tea cup in her hand, her eyes were bright, she stared at Zhu'er and smiled: "In this case, I should also go to the Fantang to pay homage, after all, I heard about this mutual market, many people suffered, and the prince went to Xizhou again, as a woman in the back house, although I can't go to the court, I can't share my worries for Your Majesty and the prince, I should also do something within my bounds——"

Zhu'er's expression was just stagnant, then she lowered her eyelids respectfully and politely, and said: "If the Queen Mother is Sister Mu so thoughtful, she will definitely be moved, but Sister is not from Xiliang, does she also believe in the true God?" According to the slave maid, if the sister really wants to pray for the prince, the slave and maid can go to the queen mother and find a powerful Buddha statue, the best of both worlds. ”

He Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked up and down Zhu'er's body, knowing that she didn't want to see Jiang Lian'er by herself, but what surprised He Xi the most was that the exquisite thinking of the palace maid in front of her was clearly like her cowardly appearance in front of Li Ren.

He Xi sighed and said: "But it's the same, but since it's inconvenient, it's not as good as making a big move, which is time-consuming and laborious." Ruyi, I'm a little tired, help me rest for a while, if Gonggong Li comes to Tongyu, you will come and call me. ”

Ruyi responded obediently, and with Zhu'er, she supported He Xi left and right, and walked towards the soft collapse on the side.

He Xi glanced at Ruyi, the master and servant had the same mind, Ruyi took a thin blanket and covered it with He Xi, and then took Zhu'er's hand and walked out with some affection: "Our sister doesn't like people in the house when she is resting, this sister should go out with me to talk." ”

He opened the door with one hand and held Zhu'er's hand with the other, and it was too late for Zhu'er to stop it.

At this time, there were two chamberlains standing at the door, looking vigilant, and at the same time, they could faintly see several powerful guards standing under the palace wall outside, the swords on their waists were bright and shining, shining like a star.

Ruyi's face sank, and she looked at Zhu'er and said, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

The guard guarding the door just wanted to step forward to explain, but was interrupted by Zhu'er: "Don't worry about this girl, it's just that there have been assassins in the palace recently, not only our palace, but the palace next to it has also strengthened its guards, don't worry, girl." ”

Ruyi nodded, and said with a relieved smile: "When I think my sister can't sleep much, my sister tells me where to prepare water to clean my face." ”

Seeing that Ruyi was so confused, Zhu'er completely lost her vigilance when dealing with He Xi, and said: "You let this father-in-law take you there, by the way, the queen mother still needs a slave to serve, and the slave and maid will leave first." ”

Zhu'er left the side hall quickly, and then walked quickly in the direction of Yikun Palace.

At this time, the Queen Mother of the West was half-lying on the soft collapse, listening to her reply, she sneered and said: "I thought it was a difficult character, but I didn't want to be just a straw bag, since she wanted to pray for blessings, then she arranged it, so she was ordered by the mourning family, and thanked her for her hard work, so she set up a Buddhist hall in the side hall where she lived, and let her pray for blessings for 7749 days - to the outside, she and Lian'er together, in the mourning palace, and those people who wanted to come to the court did not come out." ”

Li Ren hurriedly responded, seeing that the queen of the west was ugly, and knew that she was due to the pain in her waist, so he persuaded: "Queen Mother, you should rest now, the county lord's crying is just a momentary can't be thought of, if you think about it, the county lord will figure it out." ”

Qi Jiang Li'er, the Queen Mother of the West was angry, she said with an ugly face: "This family matter, she should also respond, should not also respond, you do a good job of the Buddha Hall, then go to the post house again, invite the prince and the old princess into the palace to accompany the mourning family, and cultivate the feelings of the children by the way——"

Xu was a little anxious, the action involved the pain in the waist, the painful Queen Mother Xi was in a cold sweat, and the words were interrupted, Li Ren helped her lightly and took warm tea.

The Empress Dowager Xi knocked over the teacup in Li Ren's hand in pain, and the tea dripping with her head and face sprinkled Li Ren's body, but Li Ren didn't dare to wipe it, so she only knelt on the ground in fear and kept kowtowing.

All the subordinates in the hall also knelt on the ground, and Zhu'er said when she saw this: "Slave and maid, don't you remember that there was a woman who knew how to massage that day, why don't you invite her to come and have a look?" ”

Li Ren seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and seeing that the Empress Dowager Xi had no intention of objecting, he said again and again: "Yes, where is she now, why don't you find it soon?" ”

Zhu'er said sharply: "I was sent to serve Aunt Zike, and the slave maid will go to find it." ”

Running up and running towards Zike's room, not long after, the woman named Xing'er before was brought up, briefly looked at the injury of the Queen Mother Xi, and said softly: "The Queen Mother has muscles and bones, and taking medicine only plays a role in analgesia. ”

Li Ren saw that the color of the back of the West Queen was already as white as the half-opened and half-defeated white plum outside, and he was anxious, and urged in his mouth: "Don't be so much, hurry up-"

Xing'er nodded, only to see that she took out the hair oil that the Empress Dowager Xi used to maintain her hair on weekdays from the makeup on the side, poured some into her palm, and then rubbed her hands quickly, and after a while, the slender white palm was slightly red, and the palace had already retreated the rest of the palace people, leaving only the three of them.

Xing'er looked at Li Ren and said, "Please also ask Gonggong Li to turn around and avoid——"

Li Ren was a little puzzled, but when he saw that Xing'er's hand had lifted the hem of the Empress Dowager's short jacket, he knew what she was going to do, he was so shocked that he hurriedly turned around, and felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he coughed and said: "The slave is waiting outside the screen, if the Empress Dowager has any orders, it will be directly, and the slave will hear it." ”

Empress Dowager Xi snorted, which was regarded as a promise, and the pain in her waist did make her no longer have any strength to say one more word.
