Chapter 55: A Desperate Shot

"Master?" Su Wenmei was puzzled: "Who is your master?" ”

"The slave is ordered by the master, and he can't say it at this time." Chen replied: "However, I believe that soon, Niangniang will know." ”

Su Wenmei thought for a moment, the power of the Queen Mother was too strong, if he was the Queen Mother's person, then he would have no power to resist; If he is really as he said, he was sent by others to protect him, and maybe he can still be useful at the critical moment. She finally decided to stay with him.

"That's it, you go and talk to Zheng Mingli, and the palace will leave you behind."

"Yes." Chen Yi bowed and bowed and withdrew from Mingyang Palace. It's just that Chen Yan's origin is unknown, and he still needs to observe more and check his net worth again.

"Bing'er, you arrange to go down and check the details of Chen Official, and tell the palace immediately if there is any news."

"Yes." Bing'er took the order and withdrew from Mingyang Palace.

For many days, the emperor has never been to Mingyang Palace. If it was before, Su Wenmei would have been very sad, but now, Su Wenmei knows that his mother may be her mother's killer, and the queen mother may still be trying to get rid of herself, so she doesn't have too much sadness - she has to find out how to save her life and find out the murderer who killed her mother back then.

Su Wenmei was discussing countermeasures with Bing'er in the courtyard of Mingyang Palace, when she saw Qian Hui coming over: "See Concubine Wen." ”

Su Wenmei felt happy when she saw Qian Hui, and stepped forward to help her up: "Hui'er is here." ”

"yes." Qian Hui smiled: "I'm bored in the palace, I'll come to Mingyang Palace to find my sister to relieve my boredom." ”

Su Wenmei smiled and took Qian Hui into the inner hall, where Bing'er and Ruxia stood on both sides, pouring tea for them. Speaking of which, it is already late summer and early autumn, and every autumn, a chrysanthemum feast is held in the palace. And this time, it was the virtuous concubine who was in charge. The queen mother saw that Hui Concubine was stable, so she asked Hui Concubine to assist her.

Not long after Concubine Hui came to Mingyang Palace, Shu Yun arrived with the Empress Dowager's decree: let Concubine Hui go to the Empress Dowager's palace immediately to discuss the details of the banquet.

Concubine Hui had to say goodbye to Su Wenmei and went to Shou'an Palace to see the Queen Mother. At this time, by the side of the Queen Mother, only Aunt Shuyun was waiting alone.

"Concubines, see Queen Mother." Concubine Hui saluted slowly.

"You're a steady one." The Queen Mother smiled with relief: "Today, the minions around the mourning family are all in the palace gate, and only Shu Yun is still by the side of the mourning family." The mourning family is inevitably bored, so I call you over, talk to the mourning family, and pass the time. ”

"The Queen Mother is in love, and the concubine is honored." Qian Hui said and slowly got up.

"The mourning family heard that you and Concubine Wen are very good, and you just came from Mingyang Palace?" The Queen Mother gave her a seat and asked suddenly.

"Yes." Qian Hui replied: "The concubine has been very close to Niangniang since Concubine Wen entered the palace. Therefore, the concubine often goes to Concubine Wen's palace to talk to the concubine's sister to relieve her boredom. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded thoughtfully: "The palace is lonely, it is rare to have a confidant and friend like you." Speaking of which, the mourning family hasn't seen Concubine Wen for a long time. During this time, the emperor did not summon her, was she bored in the palace? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother." Qian Hui replied: "My sister cultivates herself in Mingyang Palace every day and reads medical books, but she is still fulfilling. ”

"Oh." The Queen Mother smiled: "He is sensible." Speaking of which, the mourning family hasn't seen her for many days. ”

"Shu Yun." The Queen Mother instructed Shu Yun: "You go to Mingyang Palace and invite Concubine Wen to come over and talk to the mourning family and Concubine Hui for a while." The soothing incense in the mourning palace is almost gone, you go to the internal affairs office by the way and bring some back for the mourning family. ”

"Yes." Shu Yun took the order and withdrew from Shou'an Palace. For some reason, the eyes of the Queen Mother and Aunt Shu Yun were always a little wrong in Qian Hui's eyes, Qian Hui's heart tightened, and a trace of something bad flashed in her mind.

After the Queen Mother finished instructing Shu Yun, Shu Yun left Shou'an Palace, and the Queen Mother turned her head and continued to talk to Qian Hui.

Aunt Shu Yun came to Mingyang Palace, Su Wenmei was reading medical books in the inner hall, and there was some surprise that she would come at this moment.

Aunt Shuyun entered the hall: "Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Hui and the Queen Mother had a very happy conversation, and I want to invite Concubine Niangniang to go to taste tea together." ”

Su Wenmei looked at Shu Yun, her intuition was wrong, but she couldn't refuse: "This palace knows, there is Aunt Lao Shuyun, and this palace will go immediately." ”

"The slave maid also had to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get some soothing incense for the Queen Mother, so she took her leave first. Later, the mother will go to Shou'an Palace by herself. ”

"Hongu knows. Auntie will go first. After Su Wenmei finished speaking, she got up from the chair, Bing'er sorted out her appearance, and walked to Shou'an Palace together. Chen Yi also admonished him to go with him, but Su Wenmei did not stop him, so he followed.

When I arrived at the gate of Shou'an Palace, I saw that there was no one in Shou'an Palace. Su Wenmei's intuition was not right, and Bing'er was also worried: "Niangniang, why don't we ...... Don't go in, do you? ”

But the Queen Mother gave an order, and she had already arrived at the gate of Shou'an Palace, how could there be any reason not to go in? Thinking about it, Su Wenmei went in hard.

"The concubine sees the Queen Mother." Su Wenmei saluted.

"Concubine Wen, you haven't come to see the mourning family for a few days." The Queen Mother was displeased, and she didn't let her get up: "What have you been busy in the palace lately?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother. Recently, the concubine has been studying Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", and rarely goes out of Mingyang Palace. Su Wenmei kowtowed: "The concubine was negligent and did not come to Shou'an Palace to accompany the Queen Mother for many days, is it the concubine's." ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand: "That's it." Arise then. This palace called you today, not because I wanted to punish you, but just to talk to you and Concubine Hui. ”

"Today, the servants of the mourning family have all gone to the palace gate to meet their relatives, and there is Lao Huifei to pour a cup of tea for Concubine Wen." Saying that, the Queen Mother instructed Qian Hui to go to the small kitchen of Shou'an Palace and pour a cup of tea for Su Wenmei.

Although Concubine Hui had doubts, she had to do it. When I entered the inner hall of Shou'an Palace, I saw the dry tea in the tea set and the boiling water. The tea is a good tea, with a fine cold pine green, and it is stained with a trace of white fluff. Han Songqing is rare in this autumn.

After Concubine Hui made the tea, she carefully brought it out: "Concubine Niangniang, the tea is ready." ”

Su Wenmei looked nervous, watched Qian Hui come step by step, and frowned. Qian Hui was ordered by the Queen Mother to pour tea for her, and she had no reason to refuse.

But if she drinks the tea and something goes wrong, even if she finds out about Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother can completely blame Qian Hui for the matter - after all, it was Qian Hui who poured the tea for her; Besides, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, no matter how much trouble she makes, it is impossible to bear the blame.

This is probably the wisdom of the Queen Mother.

The tea in Qian Hui's hand was very hot, she walked steadily step by step, but when she arrived in front of Su Wenmei, she had a somewhat ugly expression. The Queen Mother turned her back to them, unable to see the excitement on their faces.

It seemed that in an instant, Qian Hui understood. As soon as she moved her hand, the teacup was poured, and the hot tea splashed out, Qian Hui's hand immediately bubbled, and Su Wenmei's clothes were also stained with some tea.

"The Queen Mother." Concubine Hui's fingers hurt hotly, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the concubine lost her honor and knocked over the teacup." The Queen Mother forgives her sins. ”

The Queen Mother frowned and waved her hand: "That's it." Hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital to bandage. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui kowtowed: "Thank you to the Queen Mother, the concubine will retire first." With that, Concubine Hui withdrew from Shou'an Palace.

Seeing this, Su Wenmei stepped forward: "Queen Mother, Concubine Hui burned her hand by pouring tea for her concubine, and the concubine has always been good with her, so she wants to go."

Too hospital to see her; Besides, the concubine's clothes were also splashed with tea......"

The Queen Mother nodded: "In this case, you can go down too." ”

Su Wenmei walked out of the gate of Shou'an Palace, and Bing'er and Chen Yan followed her. They walked briskly towards the Tai Hospital and caught up with Qian Hui, who was walking in front.

"Concubine Hui." Su Wenmei caught up with her and gently picked up her burned hand: "Let me see, is it seriously injured?" ”

Qian Hui looked at Su Wenmei's anxious expression with a smile and shook her head: "It's a little painful, but it's just a little flesh wound, so it shouldn't be in the way." ”

Su Wenmei saw that there was no one else except for Bing'er and Chen Yi, as well as Xiuyun, the personal palace maid who was carrying Qian Hui, so she approached Qian Hui: "You are in Shou'an Palace...... What did you see? ”

Qian Hui looked at Su Wenmei, nodded lightly, and didn't say anything more, but both of them understood.

The imperial doctor opened a pharmacy for Qian Hui, and after bandaging it, they came out of the hospital. Su Wenmei sent Qian Hui all the way and came to Zhongxiu Palace.

Qian Hui entered the inner hall with her, and retreated: "Sister, let's leave the palace that day, what you told me, the powerful man who wants to put you to death, is it the queen mother?" ”

Su Wenmei looked at her bandaged hand and nodded.

Yes, as soon as he entered Shou'an Palace today, Qian Hui felt strange when he saw that there was no one around. She held the teacup, glanced at Su Wenmei, understood a little, and pretended to miss and knocked over the hot teacup.

"I don't know why, but you must be very careful in the future." Qian Hui worried: "The Queen Mother can't make a plan, she will definitely find another way." You must always be on guard, and you should try not to touch anything that has been handled in Shou'an Palace. ”

"I know." Su Wenmei nodded and spoke: "The autumn banquet in the near future, can you go back for me...... Your Majesty, saying that I am sick and can't attend the autumn banquet? ”

Qian Hui nodded: "Now my sister's situation in the palace is not good, and it is indeed not suitable to participate in the autumn banquet." Then I went back to the emperor, thinking that the emperor would agree to the old relationship with my sister. ”

Su Wenmei talked to Qian Hui a little more before she came out of Zhongxiu Palace and returned to Mingyang Palace.

The Queen Mother sat in the palace for a long time, and the broken teacups on the ground were all cold, and Shu Yun came back from the Internal Affairs Office. As soon as Shu Yun entered the inner hall and saw the cold teacup on the ground, she felt bad in her heart, and she hurriedly knelt down: "The Queen Mother ......"
