"Qiu'er......" The woman opened her mouth, and saw Qiu'er get up, ready to throw the brocade box into the trash, but hesitated for a moment, and after a while, she put the things in the drawer again, turned to look at her mother and said: "Mother, don't persuade me, Qiu'er has grown up a long time ago, whether it is someone who sincerely wants to help us, Qiu'er can still see it!" ”

……

The group returned to the Chu family, and the two princesses did not leave, and when they arrived at the herb house, Wu Liang, who was worried all the way, spoke: "What do you think, that kid doesn't look like he will use what we gave." ”

Chu Nian looked sideways, with an indifference in his eyes, "I have already helped them, whether they believe me or not is their own business." ”

Mingyue on the side had a complicated complexion, "If she doesn't use your things, she will only be threatened by the Queen Mother, that girl looks like a person who would rather die than give in, if the Queen Mother is ruthless to them......"

Chu Nian glanced sideways slightly, "There are thousands of people suffering in this world, I am not a saint, if I really want to purify the world, I can't be attached to their mother and daughter." ”

Ming Qiao looked a little angry, she opened her mouth, but she suppressed the voice, this stall, I saw Wu Liang on the side fell into deep thought, after a while, he raised his head and said: "You shouldn't stick to such small sections when doing big things...... Is it? ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian glanced at him, his eyes were meaningful, but he didn't speak, seeing Ming Qiao, he just frowned, and said softly: "Dark three, escort the two princesses back to the palace." ”

At night, Chu Nian had just finished washing, and he saw the figure on the water pavilion.

At this moment, the figure was standing on the edge of the water pavilion, all black but seemed to be dyed with a faint silver light, a pair of narrow eyes were deep, and his hands were clenched behind him, and his figure was erect, resolute and lonely.

Chu Nian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness is used to coming over secretly?" ”

Ming Xiu turned his head and met those watery eyes, with a faint smile in his eyes, he coughed lightly and nodded: "Well, if we come here secretly, there won't be so many people to disturb us." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nianwan smiled, paced to the table, made a pot of warm tea with his own hands, and then turned around and offered the warm tea with a smile: "It's cold, the weather in early spring is still cold, warm up." ”

Ming Xiu's eyes fell gently on the moving face under the moon, and the corners of his mouth couldn't hide a smile, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said: "The black tea over there in Nanhuaixiang?" ”

Chu Nian smiled and nodded, "Last time, Yuan Lang brought it back from Nanhuai Township, but it was left for a long time, and no one at home drank it, thinking that His Highness should like such a rare tea." ”

A smile rose at the corner of Ming Xiu's mouth, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, next time I come back, you can make me this tea." ”

Chu Nian seemed to be in a good mood and sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the tea cup on the side with her bare hand and pecked it lightly, the black tea was too astringent, and there was no sweetness when she entered it, she frowned slightly, and saw Ming Xiu sitting beside him with a light smile, looking at the moonlight on the water pavilion, relatively speechless.

The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, and for a long time, Chu Nian said softly: "Regarding the person behind Xiao Chen's family, has he been settled?" ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu turned his eyes slightly, and saw a pale little face under the afterglow of the moonlight, as if there was no slightest wave in those calm eyes, Ming Xiu frowned slightly, and immediately put down the teacup and shook his head gently.

"I don't have a clue, I'm afraid I'm going to ask Tao Jinyan."

When the words fell, a trace of loss seemed to flash in Chu Nian's eyes, and if there was news over there, Tao Jinyan should have told her a long time ago.

Ming Xiu's face sank slightly, and after a while, he changed the topic and said: "In a few days, Concubine Liang will hold a flower viewing party, which is the intention of the Queen Mother, Concubine Liang came to talk to me once during the day, it is said that there will be some trouble, so I won't go." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian raised his head slightly, holding a flower viewing party at this time? Plum blossoms?

After a moment, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was lost in thought, "But all the ladies were invited?" ”

Ming Xiu's face was as pale as water: "Yes." ”

A hint of clarity flashed in Chu Nian's eyes: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to go, by the way, Wang Zixuan's whereabouts have been settled?" ”

"Nope." Ming Xiu shook his head, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes: "If I were Dark, Wang Zixuan would have died at this moment, and even if I really found Wang Zixuan's body in the future, it would have nothing to do with the Queen Mother." ”

Chu Nian nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that Wang Zixuan is really dead." ”

When the words fell, a hint of relief flashed in Chu Nian's eyes: "However, I don't believe that the Wang family will really be willing to be controlled by the Queen Mother all the time, maybe ...... Something should have been done a long time ago. ”

At the same time, in the palace, Zhu Qing faced a big pot of soup medicine, his face showed weakness, and the little child on the side looked at Zhu Qing worriedly: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Qing shook his head, Liao Qing's stubble on his chin looked a little more vicissitudes, and his eyes were blank: "It's okay, you send the medicine to the Queen Mother——"

At this stall, there was a sudden sound outside the door, and then, I saw a figure slowly entering, Zhuqing raised his head, and then faced a pair of gray-white eyes, his eyes flickered for a while, then he got up and said respectfully: "Mr. Dark Rin." ”

Dark Rin nodded slightly, "Daoist Zhuqing, don't come unharmed." ”

Zhu Qing looked at the dark Rin with a complicated face, and did not speak, and after a while, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. is coming to the cold house, but there is something important to discuss?" If it is about the medicinal soup, it has been prepared, and the next day, it can be served, and in a few months, the Queen Mother will be completely rejuvenated. ”

The words were just a little lower, but I heard a sneer from the other side, and I saw a pair of dark eyes squinting slightly at Zhu Qing and said, "Daoist Zhu Qing really thinks that your little tricks can fool me?" ”

Zhuqing's face was stunned, and he saw Dark Rin take a few steps forward, picked up the medicinal soup, put it between his nose and smelled it, and then showed a little disgust: "Zhuqing Dao Chang is bothered, in order that this medicine will not hurt the body of the Queen Mother, he has selected so many medicinal materials that only have a bitter taste and no medicinal effect, but unfortunately, this ambergris is boiled like this, and only the effect of hallucination is left, but fortunately, the Queen Mother only seeks immortality, but it gives Zhu Qingdao the opportunity to exploit the loophole." ”

Zhu Qing's figure shook, and he seemed to be extremely weak, so he saw Dark Rin take a few steps forward and raised his voice: "However, Zhu Qing Dao can rest assured, it's just some innocuous jokes, I don't have the heart to debunk it, as long as Zhu Qing Dao is obedient." ”

Looking at the gray-white eyes with a bit of threat, Zhu Qing's face was slightly gloomy, and his heart was full of communication, but he said softly: "What does Mr. Dark Rin want me to do?" ”

Dark Rin glanced at Zhu Qing with appreciation, "Dao Chang is a smart person, but don't try to tell Chu Nian, now that you are in the palace, I am afraid that if you tell Chu Nian one moment, the next moment, your precious apprentices will die." ”

Zhu Qing's eyes flashed with a little jealousy, and he saw that Dark Rin continued to speak: "What I want you to do is not a big deal, just a play." ”

At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to have dropped to the freezing point, Zhu Qing hesitated, and after a while, he said softly: "What play?" ”

……

The next day, news came from the palace, saying that a concubine died unexpectedly, Concubine Liang felt that this matter was wrong, so she invited Chu Nian to investigate the situation, but Chu Nian had just arrived in the palace, and saw this scene - Zhu Qing stood beside a "corpse", beside him, there were all the concubines who were watching, as well as Concubine Liang and Concubine Ling, who were frowning and didn't know what they were thinking, not far away, a silver figure was standing in the distance, looking at Chu Nian, he smiled slightly, alienated and strange, and with an inexplicable hostility.

Chu Nian calmed down, took a few steps forward, and faced Zhu Qing's flickering eyes, and after a while, he saw Xiao Daotong bring a bowl of soup and medicine, Zhu Qing took it, and everyone picked up the "corpse" and carefully poured a bowl of soup and medicine, and then got up and said to a red-eyed palace maid on the side: "Take your mother back, lie on the couch for your life, and if you don't wake up tomorrow, come to me again." ”

When the words fell, Zhu Qing took a deep look at Chu Nian, and then turned to leave.

Several palace maids stepped forward to remove the corpse, and they heard the whispers of the concubines.

"Sister Li just came out to let out the wind, and she collapsed after a few steps, and the doctor came to diagnose that it was because she ate poisonous weeds, but she missed the time and died ......"

"It is said that the national teacher has the ability to bring the dead back to life, maybe Sister Li will really wake up tomorrow!"

"Come on, aren't all national teachers all deceitful tricks? He also said that he could make the Queen Mother stay young forever......"

"Didn't you hear others say, the Queen Mother is much better now, and her white hair has long turned into black silk, it must be because of the National Teacher, otherwise the Queen Mother would not rely on the National Teacher so much."

"Also, let's just be a dead horse doctor, Sister Li is such a good person, it would be a pity if she died like this."

This Li Concubine Chu Nian has also heard of one or two, it is said that she is a person with no ambition, a cousin of the Wang family, since she entered the palace, she has been immersed in female popularity all day long, and she has basically never offended anyone, let alone competing for favor, how could she suddenly be poisoned?

Besides, Zhu Qing is her person, how can she not understand Zhu Qing's ability, if it is said that the wounds on the body can heal quickly, with Zhu Qing's alchemy, if it is brought back to life, even the heartless Taoist can't do it, how can Zhu Qing be able to do it?

But Zhu Qing just boasted about Haikou, Zhu Qing's obedient wood, without her instructions, why would he suddenly hold it up?

Chu Nian thought for a while, and then saw Concubine Liang and Concubine Ling both coming, because there were others, so Chu Nian respectfully saluted, and the two ladies didn't say anything, but they both glanced at each other, and then saw Concubine Liang look at Chu Nian and whispered: "County Lord, what's the matter with the Chief of Zhuqing Dao?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian's eyes sank slightly, and he shook his head lightly and said, "The courtiers don't know very well, Zhu Qing hasn't sent me any news for a long time. ”

Concubine Ling glanced sideways at the open space where Concubine Li was lying, and her eyes flickered, "This matter seems to have something to do with the Queen Mother, before the incident, the maids of this palace had seen her enter Cining Palace once." ”

Chu Nian pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "The courtiers will enter the palace again later, and when the time comes, I will bother the two ladies to do a favor and say hello to the courtiers, remember, you must not let other people in the palace know about this." ”
