"It's been a lot of calamities." Hua Qingrao's fingers rubbed the texture of the jade pendant, and murmured softly in her mouth.

A neighing of the horse sounded behind her, and when she turned back, the carriage had run down the path, leaving only a cloud of dust and smoke in its wake.

She turned her head and said slowly, "Pure Language, let's go." ”

The viewer led Hua Qingrao into a side room, Hua Qingrao saw that there was only a bed, a table and simple utensils in the room, although the overall structure was simple, but it was exceptionally neat.

"Can the Pure Whisper Daoist prepare a plain robe, a soft futon, and a Buddha statue for me?" She asked.

The Lord said: "Naturally, what does the mother need, even if she tells the poor way." ”

Because of Hua Qingrao's identity, the viewer naturally didn't dare to slack off, and it didn't take long to send all the things she needed.

Hua Qingrao changed into plain clothes, knelt on the soft futon with a reverent face, and kowtowed to the Buddha statue three times. She put her hands together on her chest and slowly closed her eyes.

Buddha, is the choice she is making now really the right one? Should she really continue to go back to the deep palace where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones?

Zhao Yu is ambitious, vowing to annex the entire world and be the lord of the world. Gao Qixuan's wolf ambition, not to mention the usurpation of the dynasty, now he wants to attack Nanyan. And although Zhao Xuan is stubborn in peace, as long as there are two other people, he will only become a funeral object in this world.

After Gao Qixuan attacked Nanyan, if he was given a chance to recuperate, then his next target would definitely be Da Liang. If you want to cut off this opportunity for him, you can only let Zhao Yu lead troops to attack Beiyan. The condition for Zhao Yu to attack Beiyan is that only he ascends to the throne of Daliang.

Come to think of it, it's all a dead end. Whether she does it or not, this battle is inevitable. So can she be selfish and help Zhao Yu avenge her by the way? But when the time comes to compete for the throne, what should Zhao Xuan do?

Hua Qingrao slowly opened her eyes, she frowned slightly, opened her lips and whispered: "Buddha, if you can hear me, please try to tell me how to solve this problem." ”

A few days after Hua Qingrao stayed, a holy decree came to the palace to summon her back to the palace. She had no luggage, and after a few words of thanks, she boarded the carriage.

She lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the Taoist temple in front of her, presumably she was born with the Taoist temple. When I was in Beiyan before, I heard my mother say that after she was born, she was different from other children, neither crying nor making trouble.

There is a folk custom in Beiyan that after giving birth to children, if parents want them to have a safe life, they must take them to the Taoist temple to perform a ritual.

Her parents also took her to a Taoist temple outside the city, according to custom. As soon as she arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, she was still in her swaddling clothes, and she suddenly cried, and she couldn't coax it.

The Taoist master touched her head, wished her good health in this life, and put a jade pendant in her swaddling clothes.

The mother said that the moment the jade pendant was put into the swaddling clothes, she suddenly stopped crying and began to giggle. If it weren't for the tears still hanging on her face, I really couldn't believe that she would laugh so easily.

That jade pendant is the one hanging from her waist now, and she has almost always carried it since she was a child and never took it off.

She slowly lowered the curtain, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a light smile, it should be that her previous life had a great fate with this temple.

The carriage drove out of the Water Moon Temple, and the horse returned to the palace after running for a long time.

Hua Qingrao was helped out of the carriage, this time the carriage ran faster than when she traveled before, and she didn't react. It seems that her strange reaction at the beginning was indeed due to the carriage.

She looked up at the golden plaque on the palace - Changle Palace, her eyes flashed with an unpredictable light, and she said silently in her heart: "Concubine Zhang Xian, the account between us should also be settled." ”

When the palace people of Changle Hall heard the news that their mother was coming back, they had been waiting outside the Changle Hall for a long time.

When the snow kite saw Hua Qingrao, she walked forward quickly with a happy face and saluted: "The slave maid sees Niangniang." ”

The palace people followed behind and saluted together: "The slave maid (small) see Niangniang." ”

Their voices were all loud and loud.

Hua Qingrao raised her hand and smiled: "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

There was a sparkle in Snow Kite's eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang can come back safely, the slave maid is really happy." It's been a long journey along the way, I'm afraid I'm tired, so let's go into the temple and rest. ”

Hua Qingrao raised her head and glanced at Si Luo, who was standing behind, for fear of being caught unnecessarily, Si Luo returned to the palace before her. "Don't worry, this time I will return to the palace, change my clothes first, and go to the Queen Mother's palace to say goodbye."

"Yes." Xue Kite helped Hua Qingrao back to the palace to change her clothes, and went to the Queen Mother's Palace non-stop.

At this time, in the palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen was talking to her about herself.

As soon as she saw Hua Qingrao walk in, the queen looked at her from head to toe, and said with pity in her eyes: "Sister Ying has really lost a lot of weight in this robbery. ”

Hua Qingrao didn't reply to her words, and leaned over with a smile on her face and saluted: "The concubines see the queen mother and the queen mother." ”

Because of Hua Qingrao's identity, the Queen Mother didn't treat her very well. But as soon as she returned to the palace, she ran to herself, and the expression on her face suddenly became much kinder. "Sit down, you've really suffered this time."

After Hua Qingrao sat down, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Thanks to the blessings of the Queen Mother and everyone, the concubine is fortunate to save her life and return to the palace safely." ”

The queen smiled: "This time is really too thrilling, or Sister Ying, your life is big, and the rest of the concubines who were robbed have not been heard from until now." ”

Hua Qingrao raised her eyes to look at the queen, her eyes were full of joy, and she couldn't find any other emotions at all, these words seemed to be her true feelings from the bottom of her heart.

The rest of the concubines haven't heard from them yet?! They were robbed together and didn't come back, but they returned safely, which really doesn't make sense.

The Queen Mother's eyes were so deep that she couldn't see a trace of emotion stared at Hua Qingrao's face, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Qingrao's face showed surprise, and she exclaimed: "It's not just the concubine who was robbed?!" The concubine still thought..."

She stopped, frowning and bowing her head, as if there was something unspeakable that she couldn't speak.

The queen looked at her scrutinically, "Sister Ying doesn't know about the other concubines who were robbed in the palace with you?" ”

She turned her head and asked the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, is it the work of the two groups?" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes sank, and she said coldly: "How is it possible!" Can't the royal guards even find out that! ”

The queen lowered her eyes and said: "Then this is strange, the same group of people did it, why does Sister Ying not know about the other concubines?" ”

Hua Qingrao's hand on her knee trembled slightly, she had just returned to the palace, did the queen start to deal with her like this?

She raised her head, looked at the queen innocently and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine really hasn't seen other concubines." The concubine was drugged and ecstasy, and when she woke up, she was already rescued by the eldest emperor, and she really didn't know that there was still this inside story. The concubines are not false, His Royal Highness the Elder Emperor Ji can prove it for the concubines, and also ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to know it. ”

The queen pulled out a smile and said gently: "I don't doubt my sister's heart, but there are other sisters who are outcast, and I am really worried in my heart." ”
