"You are running around just to ask for medicine for this palace, this thought, this palace has received it, and this palace is such a cultivator, it is better to be filial piety to the righteous daughter."

Tears flashed in the queen's eyes, and she could see that she was sincere in saying this, but Chu Nian only smiled far-fetchedly, "According to what the medicine king said, this medicine can only suspend the symptoms of the queen mother, and after some time, when the medicine king returns to Beijing, he will naturally offer a real antidote, and at that time, the queen mother's body will heal." ”

She paused, and saw a few wisps of tenderness in the queen's eyes over there, "Actually, this old bone in this palace doesn't want to live these days, but there is still too much blood on my hands, I'm afraid that the prince of hell won't let me have a good time." ”

She was half joking and half serious, but she didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding Chu Nian, Chu Nian frowned without a trace, but she didn't answer, and it took a long time before she heard a faint sigh from the queen.

"Actually, it's better to die, what you want to do in the future has nothing to do with me."

The queen bit her lower lip, a far-fetched smile hung on her pale face, she got up slightly, but Chu Nian was afraid that she would scatter the skeleton of her body with a little force, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"If Niangniang says such depressing words again, Nian'er is afraid that she will have to work in vain, Niangniang still takes care of herself, and in the future, Niangniang will witness the peace of the country and the people of Daliang."

The queen gently stroked Chu Nian's hand: "That's it, if you talk about witnessing, I'm afraid that this palace won't be able to do it, but it just hurts you and Ming Xiu, and it is clearly the fault of the previous generation, but it will be left until your generation to make up for it." ”

Chu Nian smiled and didn't speak, at this moment, Mama Li came in from outside, holding a bowl of hot decoction in her hand, the decoction was filled with a bit of blood, Chu Nian's face was slightly red, and she saw Mama Li stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, let's take the medicine first." ”

The queen glanced at the decoction in Mama Li's hand, and immediately sighed.

Seeing this, Chu Nian got up and said goodbye: "The queen mother takes care of her body, the courtiers still have some important things to deal with, and I will come to visit the queen mother next time." ”

That medicine, it is enough to drink it once a day, and tomorrow morning she will come to the palace to "bleed" the queen, and she will toss people around Ming Xiu all day long, and she will have to come to the palace every day to see him.

The queen answered, and Mama Li sent Chu Nian out of the palace, on the way, Mama Li wanted to speak again and again, until Chu Nian looked at her with inquiring eyes, she sighed helplessly: "County lord, the queen mother is also sick and confused, your efforts The old slave is taken to heart, the old slave will help you persuade the queen mother, and I hope that the county lord will not take the queen's words to heart." ”

Chu Nian rolled his eyes, smiled lightly, and was silent.

She has made so much effort just for Ming Xiu, and the queen has to recognize her as a righteous daughter, what can she do?

Just wait for the boat to reach the bridgehead and go straight naturally, or the queen can really see who her efforts are for.

If it was just because of the queen's character, Chu Nian would not have to help such a person who would harm others for the sake of his family.

Although a poor man.

Seeing that Chu Nian didn't speak, Mama Li had no choice but to sigh silently, and when Chu Nian left the queen's bedroom, Ming Xiu was already impatient to send someone to pick him up.

The one who came to pick up Chu Nian was a thin little eunuch, and when the little eunuch was talking, he had to look up at Chu Nian from time to time, and while leading Chu Nian towards Ming Xiu's dormitory, a person suddenly appeared on the side.

"Chu Nian! You're back! ”

Before Chu Nian could think about who the owner of this voice was, he rushed into his arms a woman with a similar figure to her, Chu Nian lowered his head slightly, and saw Mingyue crying in his arms, as if a wronged child had seen his own mother.

Born with such thoughts, Chu Nian couldn't cry or laugh a little.

After calming down for a while, Mingyue realized her gaffe, quickly became indignant with Chu Nian, hid aside, and secretly wiped away her tears, only then did she half-choke and said, "You are back, where have you been these days?" ”

Chu Nian shook his head helplessly and said, "There are some important things, what's wrong with you?" How do you cry like this? ”

Chu Nian didn't believe that Mingyue would secretly hurt herself because she thought about such a trivial thing as her, thinking that something big must have happened.

Seeing Chu Nian's question, Mingyue hurriedly took Chu Nian's hand and walked outside: "It's not safe here, you come with me, let's go to Mingqiao Palace." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and the little eunuch who came to pick up Chu Nian to Ming Xiu's dormitory on the side watched Chu Nian being pulled away by Ming Qiao with a dull face, and when he reacted, he asked her to step forward to stop her, but the person had already gone away.

The little eunuch's face turned pale: "It's over, if you don't continue, you will definitely be beaten when you go back." ”

On the other side, Mingyue pulled Chu Nian and went straight to Mingqiao's palace, and there were not a few eunuchs and palace maids who greeted him along the way, but Mingyue didn't squint, and took Chu Nian directly to Mingqiao's palace.

The two sisters seemed to have discussed everything in advance, and seeing that Mingyue snatched Chu Nian from Ming Xiu, Ming Qiao, who had already been ready to respond, was also full of pride.

When Chu Nian and Mingyue entered Mingqiao's palace gate, Mingqiao immediately closed the palace door and locked it, which led Chu Nian and Mingyue towards the inner hall.

Mingqiao seemed very happy these days, but it was in strong contrast to Mingyue's worry.

After Ming Qiao led Chu Nian and Mingyue to the apse, thoughtfully served tea and snacks, and the three of them sat down, Chu Nian looked at the two Ming sisters curiously.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Mingqiao glanced at Mingyue, and seeing that Mingyue was still immersed in her thoughts, she accepted her silly smile, sighed and said: "Recently, there have been a lot of show girls in the palace, and the concubine position that her mother has just promoted back seems to have been shaken a little." ”

Concubine Liang belongs to one of the four concubines, how can her status be shaken because of a few show girls?

Chu Nianhu glanced at Mingyue suspiciously: "Concubine Liang has a princess Mingyue, how can she shake the status of the fourth concubine because of a few show girls?" Could it be because of the previous events, the foundation is unstable? ”

At this point, Mingyue just withdrew from her thoughts, she glanced at Chu Nian, sighed faintly again, and said: "Things shouldn't be like this, those show girls are just people from the Wang family, and my father didn't even look at it, but that Concubine Chen ......"

Chu Nian frowned, Concubine Chen? When did there be a concubine in the palace?

Seeing Chu Nian's puzzled expression, Ming Qiao explained in a low voice: "Originally, it was not very eye-catching, the secretary supervised the daughter of a civil official, and later she was promoted by the Queen Mother to Concubine Chen, a member of the Wang family. ”

A hint of understanding flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, but he looked at Mingyue but was a little sympathetic, Mingyue said bitterly: "My mother concubine clearly never provoked her, even if it was the last time we met, it was a few supporters around my mother who couldn't get used to Concubine Chen, who knew that she actually killed my mother by blood." ”

"How?"

"One of the concubines in the palace died, one corpse and two lives."

Chu Nian picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, one corpse and two lives? That's a lot of information.

Everyone knows that the current emperor does not like to go to the palace of other concubines, since the queen is seriously ill, she has stayed by the bedside and never left, how can a little concubine get pregnant easily?

That's ...... Fornication?

"What does this have to do with Concubine Liang?"

Speaking of this, Chu Nian only felt that Mingyue's face was even more bitter, and she drank all the tea in the cup as if she was "borrowing wine to eliminate her sorrows", and then said, "That concubine is dead." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian roughly understood, these days she was walking in the palace, and often heard some gossip, saying that Concubine Liang had killed a concubine and wanted to blame Concubine Chen, and the rumors caused panic, and for a while, no one dared to approach Concubine Liang's bedroom.

Come to think of it, this is the means by which Concubine Chen harmed Concubine Liang, but the ladies in the palace have a few more concubines as followers, and the dead Concubine Wan wants to be one of Concubine Chen's followers, but since Concubine Chen wants to murder Concubine Liang, why do you have to choose this method of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred?

Seeing that Mingyue's gaze followed him closely, and there was no lack of prayer in his eyes, Chu Nian pretended not to see it, took a sip of tea indifferently, and then said slowly: "Then what are you inviting me here for?" I only promised you that I would pull your mother and daughter at the last moment, but I didn't say that I wanted to help you get on the throne. ”

Mingyue heard the rejection in her words, and couldn't help but blush, and after a while, she breathed a long sigh of relief as if she was lost, but she still didn't want to be discouraged and said: "I want to ask you to help us, now my mother has long stopped helping King Huainan to do things, and I have also persuaded my mother to do things, and now she just wants to ask for a safe place in the palace, and it will definitely not cause any obstacles to you and Ming Xiu." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, if she just wanted to save her life, she believed that Concubine Liang was such a person, but in the end, Concubine Liang was still inextricably linked with King Huainan, even if she didn't help King Huainan do things, Chu Nian had no reason to help a pawn of King Huainan.

Anyway, after they returned to Beijing, the king of Huainan was still calm and didn't have any news, so what was the old man's idea?

Seeing that Chu Nian still didn't speak, Mingyue's face was like ashes, Mingqiao glanced at Mingyue sympathetically, and said, "You might as well reach out and help, and there will be a response in the palace in the future." ”

Reference? Chu Nian put down the teacup without a trace, "I helped Concubine Liang, will she really give me any care?" ”

At this time, Mingyue seemed to hear a bit of hope from Chu Nian's words, and hurriedly nodded like garlic and said: "Now my mother doesn't like to fight, and the forces that were attracted before have long stopped interacting with my mother, and my mother is isolated in the palace, but she has never thought of harming anyone again, if you are willing to help our mother and daughter, my mother must definitely miss you very much." ”

Chu Nian glanced at Mingyue sideways, frowned, and at this stall, a small palace maid ran in from outside: "Third princess!" Five princesses! Unequaled County Lord! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. ”

"What?" Ming Qiao suddenly got up, "Brother Huang came over in person?" ”

Chu Nian shook her head with a little smile, she was forcibly pulled over by Mingyue when she came, but she forgot to say hello to Ming Xiu, this is good, this person is here in person?

Ming Qiao looked sideways at Chu Nian and said, "Let him come in?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian looked at the palace gate and said, "I think if you don't let him in today, the three of us will be in big trouble tomorrow." ”

Seeing this, Ming Qiao had no choice but to nod his head very resignedly, and said angrily: "Tsk, really stingy, call him in, if you don't call him in, he won't be able to smash my palace door for a while!" ”
