When a deep voice came, Ah Qing's back suddenly stiffened, "Who do you say you want to solve?" ”

When Ming Xiu's figure slowly appeared in front of the two, Ah Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she secretly looked at Ming Xiu's face, and whispered: "Of course, I want to solve the Queen Mother, now I have talked to the county lord, as long as she is willing to help us bring down the Queen Mother, I naturally don't care about her hurting me." ┏┛”

Looking at Ah Qing's kind appearance, Ming Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then does Miss Ah Qing want to explain to Gu what this bag of things is?" ”

"This is ......" Ah Qing glanced back at Chu Nian, she took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand to hug Ming Xiu's arm, "I haven't asked yet, isn't His Highness already out of the palace?" How did it come back again. ”

Ah Qing's outstretched arm was deftly dodged by Ming Xiu, and he took a few steps forward with a cold face, and while calmly opening the door of the cell, he said in an indifferent voice: "If Miss Ah Qing wants to deal with the Queen Mother, then at the beginning, you should not cooperate with the Queen Mother." ”

Chu Nian looked at the gloomy look on that handsome face, and couldn't help grinning, as soon as he came out of the cell, he hurriedly reached out and carefully grabbed Ming Xiu's wrist.

That Fang Mingxiu did not refuse, and Chu Nian relieved his heart and smiled lightly.

Ah Qing stood in place and watched the intimate interaction between the two, and it was only at this time that she understood something, she looked at Chu Nian and Ming Xiu with a gloomy face.

"You two didn't quarrel at all? You didn't plan to leave the palace at all, from the beginning, you were acting for others to see. ”

Chu Nian coughed lightly, "Miss A-Qing is really smart. ”

Ah Qing's face became a little paler, and he saw Ming Xiu raise his arm slightly, protecting Chu Nian's weak figure in his arms, and immediately looked at Ah Qing with a frown.

"Now that you understand the whole story, it's inconvenient for Lone to explain more to you."

"Someone, this woman ......"

"Wait!" The cell that was originally in the darkness was suddenly brightly lit, and I saw a large number of palace people pouring into the door of the cell, and then the Queen Mother slowly walked into the dungeon with the support of Mama Li.

A flash of surprise flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, and he saw Ming Xiu's eyes squinting slightly, "Imperial Grandmother, if you remember correctly, Imperial Grandmother should still have a good rest in Cining Palace now." ”

The Queen Mother's face was not good-looking, Ah Qing on the side was hiding on the side, but Chu Nian and the two stood side by side and behaved intimately, even if the Queen Mother thought about it with her toes, she also understood what was going on, and then she glared at Ah Qing with hatred of iron and steel, and then snorted coldly and said: "The mourning family heard that something happened to Chu Nian, and they have been very worried, so they came to take a look, but didn't you say earlier that you were looking for traces of your father?" Now it's here again, but even your father doesn't want to look for it, and he wants to see if the mourning family is out of the palace? ”

These words came out, but Ming Xiu was buttoned with an unfilial hat, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu glanced at each other, and then said, "Whose gossip did the Queen Mother listen to?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come back to see the Queen Mother on purpose, but on the way I heard that someone was going to murder me when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was out of the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worried, so he hurried back. ”

The Queen Mother glanced behind her, and the eunuch who was immediately beneficial stepped forward with a chair, and the Queen Mother sat down calmly, stroking her forehead as if she was tired, "The mourning family is old, and most of the things about your young people are not clear, and the mourning family is too lazy to care, but Ming Xiu is too worried about you, there is still a mourning family in the palace, and what can happen to you." ”

"If someone really plots to kill you, isn't the mourning family coming?"

Chu Nian nodded with a smile, but turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu beside him, and saw Ming Xiu squinting his eyes and looking at the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother said that she laughed, if Gu came later, I was afraid that even Gu would be murdered together." ”

The Queen Mother's face stiffened for a moment, then she turned her eyes to look at Ah Qing who was standing on the side, and then looked at Ming Xiu, "What do you mean by this?" Who wants to murder you? ”

Ming Xiu's gaze swept over Ah Qing, "The Queen Mother should recognize this girl, right?" ”

When these words fell, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Ah Qing carefully, and several eunuchs next to her immediately stepped forward, held Ah Qing down, and lifted Ah Qing's lowered head strongly.

"This girl looks a little familiar...... Is it the cook lady in Concubine Ling's palace? She looked at Chu Nian in surprise, "Why did Concubine Ling want to murder you?" ”

Chu Nian smiled and didn't answer, then he saw Ming Xiu take a step forward and block in front of Chu Nian, "Imperial grandmother, this woman has just said in person that she wants to murder the lonely and peerless county lord, but you are the imperial grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to have known that Ming Xiu would say this, and her brows were twisted, and she turned her eyes and seemed to look at Ah Qing angrily, "Nonsense, how could the mourning family murder Ming Xiu?" You...... Come! Take her for a good interrogation! The mourning family wants to see who is so bold as to slander the mourning family! ”

Seeing the appearance of the queen mother's horizontal eyebrows and raised eyes, Ah Qing's face suddenly turned anxious, and just as he was about to speak, his mouth was vigorously blocked by the eunuch behind him with his hand.

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, but the Queen Mother seemed to be angry and then said: "This matter is handed over to the mourning family for interrogation, now Nian'er is not in good health, there is no one to take care of you, and you have to look for traces of your father, I'm afraid you can't take care of it, the mourning family is old, and the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient, but the palace has the mourning family to take care of it, you don't need to worry about it." ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother got up and couldn't help but say: "The mourning family is also lacking, and now that Nian'er is fine, the mourning family can rest assured, so go back to rest." ”

Ming Xiu frowned, and his subordinates were grabbed by Chu Nian, and he turned his eyes with some doubts, and saw Chu Nian shook his head lightly, and said softly: "Your Highness must not act impulsively. ”

Now that the Queen Mother has said everything, if they are aggressive, they are afraid that they will end up with a reputation of unfilial piety, and they are just forcing Ah Qing to tell the truth today, but they have not produced evidence.

If there is no basis and it is said that the Queen Mother wants to murder Ming Xiu, it will be difficult to convince the public if she says this, so it is better to leave a way out for the Queen Mother today, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry.

The Queen Mother left calmly with Ah Qing, and Ming Xiu looked at Chu Nian with a frown.

"A-Qing said it?"

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded lightly, "I thought that Ah Qing could hold it for a while, but I didn't expect her to be so uncontrollable, if we wait for the Queen Mother to make a big mistake, we will catch the evidence on the spot, and they will not be able to argue so easily." ”

Ming Xiu groaned slightly, and this party took out the small paper bag from his hand as if he remembered something.

"Antidote."

When these words fell, Chu Nian realized that his body was as cold as an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but smile helplessly, "It's also the only gain I got after tossing such a big effort." ”

She took the packet of antidote from Ming Xiu's hand, and then looked at Ming Xiu again: "By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, where is the emperor now?" ”

Ming Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, he pursed his thin lips, "Barbarian hinterland, do you think this news is credible?" ”

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and after a while, he said softly: "It's not impossible, but at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still not suitable to leave Da Liang, but I am afraid that this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

Ming Xiu nodded approvingly, and then saw Chu Nian turn his eyes and said: "I will send someone to send a letter to the barbarians, and ask the barbarians to help find the whereabouts of the emperor, you can rest assured, but the news of your going to the barbarians still has to be sent." ”

A look of clarity flashed in Ming Xiu's eyes, "But if you repeat the old trick, will Dark Rin still be fooled?" ”

Chu Nian smiled lightly, "Whether he will be fooled or not, just try it." ”

……

The next day, the news that the crown prince Ming Xiu set off again to find the emperor spread throughout Daliang, and the news that the county lord of Wushuang had reconciled with the prince also came out.

The scientific expedition was imminent, but the crown prince Ming Xiu went out to find the emperor, so the host of the scientific expedition had to be handed over to Chen Lao again to be fully responsible, and Chu Nian was to help from the side.

However, it was disappointing that when the antidote given by Ah Qing was sent to the god of medicine, Chu Nian was told that the medicine was fake, thinking that Ah Qing was not impulsive enough to give the real medicine to Chu Nian, and now he can be regarded as keeping a hand.

But Chu Nian went to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother again and again, wanting to see Ah Qing, but the Queen Mother just shirked and said that Ah Qing had been taken into custody, and now outsiders can't see her.

Chu Nian had no choice but to give up, now she doesn't have much effort to entangle with the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother can not mess around during the scientific expedition, Chu Nian can also be at peace with her.

Now, the Queen Mother almost made a big mistake just now, thinking about it, she will be honest for a while, if Chu Nian wants to wait to catch the handle of the Queen Mother, it is estimated that it will take some time, and Chu Nian is not in a hurry.

As long as you can calm down, you will be a winner.

Soon, the day of the scientific expedition came, and Chen Lao began to complain about Chu Nian and Ming Xiu as shopkeepers while busy with the days before and after.

But when Chu Nian wanted to help, Chen Lao disliked her and got in the way, so Chu Nian had to hide back to Chu's house honestly, so as not to dislike her and cause trouble to Chen Lao.

The imperial examination is imminent, and the officials who are in charge of the imperial examination are in full swing, and the Chu family is no exception.

Chu Nian just dealt with a wealthy businessman who wanted to make his son famous on the list by dredging the relationship, and returned to the herb house to prepare for rest, when he saw Mei Xiang coming in in a hurry.

"Lady, there are guests again, is it sent away this time?"

Chu Nian leaned back in the rocking chair and twisted his brows slightly, "Who?" ”

"It's Gu Anhou, who said that it was for the county lord of Anning, and he wanted to thank the lady."

Since that day, the county lord of Anning has been released, and he only said that he would investigate, but he did not discredit the reputation of the county lord of Anning.

However, for this matter, Gu Anhou also came to the Chu family for a trip, could it be that it was also for the imperial examination?

Chu Nian's eyes flashed for a moment, and he pondered for a while, before he said, "It's okay, just call him in, remember to prepare refreshments." ”

When Mei Xiang went out, Ming Xiu walked in slowly from the backyard, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at the direction where Mei Xiang left.

"Do you really plan to bring Gu Anhou with you?"

Chu Nian smiled, "Now we are the time to employ people, if the Wang family is completely eradicated from the court in the future, I am afraid that there will be a lot of vacant positions, if Gu Anhou is really a loyal person, it is not impossible to give a little help." ”

Ming Xiu twisted his eyebrows, "But have you ever thought about it, Gu Anhou hasn't been admitted to the exam for more than ten years, what is the reason?" ”
