The night of Qingshan Temple is silent, and in front of the Queen's Dining House, a plane tree is rustling with the breeze.

In the room, the queen woke up from the night and wanted to call the maid of the night watch, but she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound.

"Someone's coming."

A maid hurried in from outside, and now she was the only one waiting for the queen, but she couldn't slack off at all, afraid that the queen would have something to do in the middle of the night, so she fell asleep under the beam outside.

"Mother."

Seeing that the queen had already sat up, the palace maid turned around very insightfully and poured a cup of warm tea for the queen.

After three or two warm teas, the queen felt better.

"Mama Li's corpse, did Nian'er put it away for the palace?"

The palace maid saw the queen's pale face and knew that she must have not even slept well because of Mama Li's death, so she hurriedly reassured the queen and said: "The news came earlier, the county lord went to the queen mother's place, and when he came back, he asked the host for a place to be buried, and now Mama Li is buried on this back mountain." ”

Hearing this, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes turned red again, and she said, "That's good, that's good......"

The palace maid wanted to comfort herself, but when she opened her mouth, she heard an arrogant female voice coming from outside the door: "Qinglian, take the queen mother to see the queen mother, the queen mother is waiting, hurry up." ”

Qinglian looked stunned, glanced at the queen, looked embarrassed, she turned her head to look out of the window and said: "Sister Xiaoyu, you helped me get back to the queen mother, now the queen mother is not feeling well and has fallen asleep, I am afraid it is inconvenient to go to see the queen mother." ”

When her words fell, Xiaoyu had already pushed the door in, and saw the queen leaning on the couch, that Xiaoyu first blessed her body with a sarcastic face, and then looked at Qinglian with a straight face and said: "Qinglian, I won't say this to the Queen Mother, you lie to me, but you can lie to the Queen Mother, but it's another matter." ”

Ignoring Qinglian's mixed appearance, Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at the queen arrogantly: "Since the queen mother didn't sleep, she went to talk to the queen mother, and the queen mother said, it's night, and the elderly can't sleep, so they can only sleep with you." ”

Qinglian was still thinking about Chu Nian's instructions to take good care of the queen, so she was so anxious that her eyes were red and said, "Xiaoyu ......"

The queen patted Qinglian's hand lightly, and said soothingly: "It's okay, it's just to accompany the queen mother, you go back first, and the palace will clean up and go." ”

That Xiaoyu snorted coldly, glanced at Qinglian contemptuously, and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." Then he walked out on his toes.

Qinglian looked at the queen with worried eyes and said: "Niangniang, the queen mother is still calling you in the middle of the night, obviously to make things difficult for you, your body is ......"

After staying by the Queen Mother's side for so long, Qinglian couldn't know the Queen Mother's temper anymore, originally the Queen Mother didn't like the queen, usually in the palace, the Queen Mother was still afraid of the emperor and the prince, and didn't dare to do anything to the queen, but now out of the palace, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the unequaled county lord can't stay by the queen's side day and night, and the queen mother naturally can't help but make a move on the queen.

The queen smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, this fragile bone can still hold up, and the Queen Mother will not dare to blatantly let this palace die in her hands, don't worry." ”

Qinglian bit her lower lip, and saw the queen raise her hand: "It's not okay if you don't go now, let's change clothes for the palace." ”

Seeing this, Qinglian had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and turned around to prepare for the queen to wash.

When they arrived at the queen mother's room, Xiaoyu was waiting at the door, seeing the queen and Qinglian from a distance, the corners of her mouth pulled out a playful smile, and after a while, she stopped the queen and Qinglian.

"Queen Mother, your preparation time is too slow, now there are distinguished guests in the Queen Mother's house, Niangniang, wait a while."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked back to the door, apparently not letting the queen into the house.

Qinglian stepped forward with some annoyance: "You ......"

In the middle of the night, where are the guests? It's just that he deliberately hung the queen and didn't call the queen in, without the queen mother's order, the queen couldn't go back and wait, but this late autumn cool breeze was blowing like this, how could the queen stand it?

The queen patted Qinglian's hand, signaled her to be restless, then straightened her skirt and stood at the door in a good time.

Seeing this, Qinglian had no choice but to flatten her mouth, "Queen Mother, the slave will go back and bring the big wool for you." ”

The queen nodded, and Qinglian turned around and trotted away, for fear that something would happen to the queen when it was too late.

Seeing the interaction between the master and servant, Xiao Yu, who was standing at the door with half-squinted eyes and pretending to sleep, opened her eyes, looked at Qinglian's back, and sneered.

Not long after Qinglian left, the voice of the Queen Mother came from the house: "Let the queen come in." ”

Seeing this, Xiaoyu let go of her body and made a gesture of invitation to the queen, but smiled without a smile: "Queen mother, please." ”

An autumn breeze poured into the queen's body along the collar, and the queen's body trembled, so she forcibly suppressed the coldness, nodded, and walked calmly towards the room.

The Queen Mother was half-leaning on the soft collapse, leaning softly, seeing the Queen come in to salute, the Queen Mother looked at the queen's face that was almost haggard than herself, and sneered contemptuously.

"The queen has been living in the temple for a few days, can she still feel at ease? Does Qinglian have a good waiting for you? ”

The queen was blessed, and it was not easy for her to sit down without the queen mother's order, but her legs were weak, her face was pale, and her body was shaky.

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, Qinglian will serve her concubines very well."

The Queen Mother nodded slowly, did not speak, and asked the Queen to stand for a long time, until the Queen Mother almost fell, and the Queen Mother gave the Queen a seat.

When the queen sat down, she straightened up, looked at the queen coldly, and said, "Do you know what the mourning family called you to do?" ”

The queen frowned and shook her head, "If the queen mother has any requests, she will say yes, and the concubines on the left and right can only listen." ”

The Queen Mother sneered and shook her head, "Do you think that now that Chu Nian is supporting you, the mourning family can't do anything to you?" ”

Hearing this, the queen quickly lowered her head, and said with a forbearant face: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother shook her head and didn't say anything more, just said: "The mourning family is old, and now whether it is the ten things in the palace and outside the palace, the mourning family can't control it. ”

The queen's face stiffened for a moment, and then she saw the queen mother continue: "It's okay now, I know that you can't control it, the mourning family helped Concubine Chen up, and that girl is more sensible than you-"

At this time, the queen understood what the queen mother meant, and couldn't help but look stunned, and after a while, she frowned and said, "Concubine Chen is still too young." ”

"Young?" The Queen Mother looked at the queen sarcastically, she looked like she was no longer old, if it weren't for the gray hair, the queen would almost think that the queen mother in front of her was a young girl.

"It's good to be young, young man, live a long time...... Queen Mother seemed to sigh, and then looked at the queen with a smile and said, "You say, how long can you and I live with this body?" ”

The queen can't deny: "The queen mother will naturally live for a hundred years." ”

"Oh, live a long life...... It sounds like the mourning family is destined to send white-haired people to black-haired people? ”

The queen raised her head suddenly, and then looked at the queen mother with a pair of gloomy eyes, and she looked at the queen intently: "Queen, you say, is it better for the mourning family to grasp the previous dynasty on the side of the harem, or simply to master the former dynasty yourself?" ”

The Queen Mother laughed...... The harem is not allowed to interfere in the government, which has been a rule since ancient times. ”

Seeing the queen's serious face, the queen mother suddenly smiled, she half-raised her eyes to look at the queen and said, "Rules? Isn't the mourning family the rule of this great cool? ”

The queen's face turned pale, and at this time, she heard the queen mother continue: "Queen, you are not young anymore, it's time to give up your position to young people." ”

……

Chu Nian and the three of them each got the spirit sign of the Spirit Void Living Buddha, and on the way back, they each had a ghost in their hearts, but they bumped into Qinglian in a hurry.

Chu Nian recognized Qinglian as the palace maid who was sent to take care of the queen, so he hurriedly stopped the person and said, "What happened to the queen?" ”

Seeing that it was Chu Nian, Qinglian's originally impatient face calmed down a little, so she hurriedly pulled Chu Nian and said: "County Lord, go and see, the queen mother was summoned by the queen mother late at night, and now in the queen mother's room, she hasn't come out for an hour." ”

She also held the big fluff for the queen in her hand, originally thought that the queen mother was just drying the queen, and she didn't dare to make too much movement, but she didn't expect the queen mother to call the queen in for so long and didn't come out, which made Qinglian anxious, if she just stood at the door, the queen was at least under her nose, but now that the queen went in alone, Qinglian didn't know what was going on inside, and she suddenly felt uneasy.

Seeing Qinglian's worried face, Chu Nian's face sank, and he heard Mingqiao say anxiously: "Then let's go over and take a look, this late midnight summoning the queen, I'm afraid that the queen mother will not be well." ”

Ming Qiao's words fell, Chu Nian had already strode towards the Queen Mother's room, Qinglian hurriedly followed, Wu Liang and Ming Qiao behind them glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

When Chu Nian arrived at the door of the Queen Mother's room, he was stopped by Xiao Yu, who was keeping vigil: "County Lord, the Queen Mother has already slept." ”

Chu Nian looked at Xiao Yu with a cold look in his watery eyes, and saw a trace of fear in Xiao Yu's heart for no reason, before he heard Chu Nian speak: "What about the queen mother?" ”

In front of Chu Nian, Xiao Yu no longer dared to have an arrogant attitude, so she lowered her eyebrows and said, "The queen has gone back to rest." ”

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it sounds like the queen was not too embarrassed by the queen mother......

Everyone went back to the house again, and went to the queen's room, where there was only one candle in the room, and there was no shadow in the room, and there was silence all around.

Chu Nian had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and without waiting for Qinglian to report, he strode into the house, and the people in the house were resting on the soft edge of the house with their clothes, and when they saw Chu Nian, the queen smiled a little weakly, "Nian'er is here." ”

Qinglian stepped forward and carefully supported the queen's staggering body, while Chu Nian looked at the queen sitting in front of him intact, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"What did the Queen Mother do when she summoned you?"
