Maybe five or six-year-old children will also be in a daze and think about their hearts, but how many of them will raise a smile immediately after being found to hide it, the abrupt smile on Pang Qianyou's face is too deliberate and suspicious in Xi Niang's opinion, since she is here to explore the truth, don't beat around the bush, pointed downstairs and said: "The maid and the old mother have retreated, and there are just the two of us here." ”

Xi Niang walked towards Qianyou step by step, her expression became more and more solemn, staring at her eyes tightly, trying to find out the original Pang Qianyou from the pair of eyes that had not yet had time to be empty, she asked straight to the point: "Qianyou, tell me honestly, you are not stupid or crazy, are you?" ”

Pang Qianyou's eyes flashed with a brief panic, but he still maintained an innocent smile, tilted his head and asked, "Sister, what did you say?" ”

Xi Niang will not give up easily, naturally if she really can't ask anything, then she will be stupid all her life, but she has been dealing with people all her life, once for Pang Jun, and later for Qi Hui, from which court officials take out the truth and interrogate people's calculations, she may be more powerful than the master in the yamen, let alone deal with a Pang Qianyou.

At this moment, a trace of coolness in the morning has long been dissipated by the scorching sun, only worthy of May, it has been so hot that people can't breathe, the little queen excused herself to pick flowers early in the morning, leaving Xiangxiang to rest in the dormitory, but she swayed and ran to the front court, where she waited for the court to disperse.

Listening to the sound inside the palace wall, it is really completely different from when she listened to the government with the curtains, just listening to it can feel the enthusiasm, the old palace maid beside her said: "I heard that the emperor was always lazy when he went to the court, and the prime minister said a few words, and then dispersed." The first emperor is even more unbearable, and he is also blessed to give birth to such a good son as Prince Shuo. ”

The queen hummed a few times and praised: "Prince Shuo is a first-class good, if this royal family is down, he will be left with the only hope." ”

The old palace maid had some thoughts, and pulled the queen and said: "Since Niangniang and the princess are like sisters, and Prince Shuo is such a good man, why not serve a husband with the princess, I am afraid that the emperor's life will not be long, and the younger brother will marry a widowed sister-in-law, and there are often such things among the people." ”

The little queen was so frightened that her face changed, she wanted to scold the old palace maid, but she had been serving her carefully, and she was also by her side when she was in trouble, so she didn't pull down her face, but she had to say seriously: "You talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and it's bad if it gets out." It's rare for me to have someone who treats her sincerely, how can I hurt her, don't talk nonsense anymore, how old am I, if I wasn't forced to marry the emperor, I would still be a child playing at home. ”

When the old palace maid saw that she was serious, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she made reparations, and at this time, a eunuch came out over there, and asked politely: "Why has the queen been here for a long time, the prince heard about it, and asked the servants to come and ask for peace." ”

The queen said: "I want to see the prince have something to say, but don't worry, it's not too late for them to disperse, and the country's major affairs are important." ”

As she spoke, she took the palace people to the pavilion not far away to rest, and couldn't help but tell them not to talk nonsense anymore when they were far away. But the queen herself suddenly realized that she is not a real sister after all, even if she is a real sister, she should avoid suspicion, and now she can pretend to be a child, what about four or five years later? When others look at themselves as a big girl wandering around their husband and wife, can they not gossip?

But it didn't take long for Qi Hui to hear the news, and when he arrived, the queen asked worriedly, "Is there anything to disturb the prince?" ”

Qi Hui was very gentle: "If Niangniang has something to say, just command." ”

The queen smiled embarrassedly: "This is a bit raw, I ...... in my heart" She shook her head in a panic, why was she seduced by the palace maid to say such ambiguous words, she hurriedly cleared her throat, and said, "I want to tell you that everyone has been very happy in the past two days, but my sister always has something on her mind, or not only these two days, she has been worried before." And from before, it's not just that I'm worried about the prince, although my sister and I haven't been together for a long time, I can see some of them getting along day and night. If the prince is free, he cares more about his sister, and if he wants to say that everything is peaceful now, there is nothing to worry about, but it is not good for her to hide it in her heart. ”

Qi Hui was very useful, and asked seriously: "Does Niangniang know what happened?" ”

The queen tilted her face and folded her fingers to calculate what happened before, and suddenly remembered, and said: "On the way back from visiting the old ladies and the third prince, my sister had a nightmare, if I remember correctly, it seems that from that moment on, it seems to be somewhat related to her dream." Of course, it could also be that I'm overthinking. ”

Qi Hui was grateful, and thanked the queen repeatedly, but the queen ran away immediately in order to avoid suspicion. When she returned to the middle palace, Xiangxiang asked her where she had been for so long, the queen was casually perfunctory, and Xiangxiang didn't think much about it, and today, she was waiting for Xi Niang to return and tell her the result of Pang Qianyou. But not long after, Xiangxiang, who had been in a daze, suddenly called the palace maid and said that she wanted to see her husband.

The queen peeked at the side, Xiangxiang's face, isn't it full of thoughts?

In the prime minister's mansion, Xi Niang was still in the boudoir, Mrs. Pang disdained to see a lowly person like her, and the young grandmother was polite, and sent someone to send a fruit plate and refreshments, all of which were placed on the low table. But the refreshments and fruits didn't move at all, Pang Qianyou stood in front of the window for a long time and didn't speak, just before the maid sent something, she had already confessed to Xi Niang that she was pretending to be crazy and stupid.

But when she was just sent to her brother's private house from the palace, she was really stupid for a while, and it was Jian Feng who brought her mother and sister-in-law and woke her up.

As a result, seeing that her mother was still selfish, she chose to continue to be demented, she didn't want to go back to her mother, she didn't want to go back to this home, and in that private house, she had the opportunity to do something she wanted to do. But before she had the courage to run out, Xiangxiang was canonized as Prince Shuo, and she was almost crazy when she heard the women chatting about it that morning.

Later, Xi Niang and Qianyou experienced it together, but because she was too frightened on the road, she did become abnormal again, and it was not until at the foot of the mountain that Qi Hui, who was covered in blood, fell on her body, and she finally woke up again.

However, to this day, there is still a sticky feeling of hot blood on her hands, no matter how she washes her hands, no matter how she soaks it in ice water, she can't get rid of that feeling, like soaking it in her skin, like carving it on her bones, reminding her of the mistakes she has made and the sins she has made, and pretending to be crazy and stupid along the way, she just doesn't want to face anyone again, including herself.

"Aren't you tired like this?" Xi Niang said, slowly pouring herself a cup of tea, "How long can you last, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life, or are you calculating again, what can Qi Hui do for you?" It's impossible. ”

Turning around, Xi Niang raised her eyes to look at her, that smile was a contempt for the world, so high that it was annoying, she said coldly: "Although it is very tiring to pretend to be crazy and stupid, it is better than letting others see me and face the happiness of Qi Hui and Xiangxiang clearly." I'd rather be a fool than let them, everybody, feel like I don't experience those happiness at all. No matter how good they are, I can't feel it, never will. ”

In the face of Qianyou's self-deception, Xi Niang didn't want to say anything more, who is alive to show others happiness, if there is really such a person, it is all the way to Pang Qianyou. She smiled faintly and asked again, "How do you plan to live in the future?" ”

"This is my family's business, so you don't have to worry about it." Qianyou was hostile, "No matter how you tell her, I won't get involved with them anymore, Qi Hui has nothing to do with me, and that woman never deserves to be compared to me." You don't have to worry about what will happen to me in the future, and you won't be guilty of staring at me like a prisoner. ”

Xi Niang got up, straightened out her dress, and said solemnly: "I won't tell too many people that you are pretending to be crazy and stupid, including your brother, but you had better remember your own words." It's a pity that it can't be as you wish, I will send someone to keep an eye on you all the time, anyway, someone will do it, so I don't have to bother. But whenever they tell me what you want to toss, Pang Qianyou, I will definitely kill you. Do you know that if you didn't have an older brother, for all of us, your death would be the best outcome, and you would be more hateful than your father. ”

Qianyou's face turned red, almost arousing her hatred, but Xi Niang knew that there might be such a result, but she still didn't back down, and told her clearly: "Don't put on this face, if you are angry now, just do it, and I will kill you early." You don't have to stay up all day waiting for an opportunity, now I am the young grandmother of the Mu family, there are ways and people to deal with you, if you don't believe it, you can try it, you will die ugly. ”

Xi Niang walked away, breathing heavily, suddenly her body fell softly, her hideous face gradually became calm, and gradually returned to her innocent appearance, continue to pretend, pretend, she can't let anyone know that she is suffering from watching others be happy, and she must not, even if she is a fool, she has to laugh to the end.

When Xi Niang left the boudoir, she was already sure in her heart that she would not tell anyone except Xiangxiang, and naturally Pang Qianyou would not show her feet, Shifeng said that she would not let her out if there was nothing else, and for the rest of her life, she should be in this family and this courtyard, lonely and old.

In the deep palace, Xiangxiang was sewing children's clothes under the shady window, and the queen didn't know where to go, but if the balance was today, Xiangxiang was not afraid that she would go out and be bullied, and when it was cooler after sunset, she was going to visit Jingshu. As for Qi Hui, she sent someone to look for it, but she was too busy over there, saying that she was waiting and waiting, and when she waited until now, she didn't see the voice of Xianggong.

Xiangxiang understands her husband, but she is not happy in her heart, she seems to be concentrating on sewing clothes at this time, but her heart is very heavy. Accidentally, the tip of the needle pierced her finger, and she panicked as the blood beads came out, and suddenly a hand grabbed it and took her wound in her mouth.
