A thunderstorm washed the huge palace spotlessly, and the fresh smell of plants and trees slowly spread.

The brightness after the stuffiness is particularly comfortable.

It's just that Cen Mu was in a hurry, and he happened to catch up with the rain, and was stranded in the shelter on the road to Yonglu to hide from the rain, and his shoes and socks were wet. At this time, there is an indescribable discomfort.

"It's all bad slaves and maids, who feel that it is going to rain, but they forget that the summer rain waits for no one. Tired of waiting here to hide from the rain. Bingling wiped the upper of her shoes with the handkerchief, and said guiltily: "Niangniang, it's better to wait here, and the slave will go back and get a pair of dry embroidered shoes for you to change." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, aren't we going to the garment bureau, there will always be one or two pairs of embroidered shoes available." Cen Muning got up with her hand: "The rain has stopped, let's just pass." ”

"Yes." Bingling helped her to the garment bureau: "On this day, the princess's wedding dress should also be made." ”

"yes." Cen Mu nodded slightly: "The emperor has set the wedding date in Ruiguo Golden Autumn, so they naturally have to step up." I just waited for my cousin's errand and went back to the palace to thank the emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Cen Muning couldn't help frowning: "Hasn't there been any movement on the Queen Mother's side?" ”

"Yes." Bingling whispered softly and said cautiously: "I heard that Concubine Ying's prescription has been improved by the hospital, and it is given to the Queen Mother several times a day." I don't know if it's because the Queen Mother was injured again, and she hasn't woken up. The slave asked someone to inquire carefully, saying that even if she woke up, the queen mother's body could not be as before, and her movement might be inconvenient. ”

"It's good to be alive." Cen Mooning and Bingling glanced at each other.

"It seems that Miss's original intention has not changed." Qingli couldn't help but hang his head: "I'm afraid that if something even more amazing happens, it will affect the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Just stepped into the threshold of the garment bureau, and the steward was already waiting here.

It's just that before Cen Muning could speak, Ming Qing hurriedly rushed over: "Queen Mother, there is news from Fengluan Palace, saying that the Queen Mother has woken up." The emperor is passing at this time, do you want to go over and take a look? ”

"It's really impossible to talk about people in the daytime." Bingling frowned slightly and said to the steward: "You go, let someone get clean shoes and socks for the queen mother to replace." Ming and Qing Dynasties, you go to get the sedan chair. ”

chose a place to change Cen Muning's shoes and socks, and Bingling was relieved: "It's the most uncomfortable to wear wet shoes and socks, does Niangniang feel better at this time?" ”

"Much better." Cen Mu Ning got up: "Without further ado, it's important to hurry up and go to Fengluan Palace." I want to see how the Queen Mother can frame me now. ”

"You just threw away these shoes and socks." Bingling frowned and said, "It's going to be wet by the rain, and it's going to be terrible." ”

"Yes." The steward said diligently: "The slave will order someone to make a better system for the mother." When it is done, let people send it to Fengling Palace. The slave sent the queen mother. ”

In the Fengluan Palace, people come and go.

As soon as Cen Muning walked into the main hall, he saw a complex fragrance. It's like all kinds of rouge are pasted on the wall, and when the wind blows, the fragrance is suffocating. Looking at those flowery concubines, she roughly calculated that it would cost them a sack of silver to feed and drink all day long. Not to mention buying them new clothes, accessories, and other expenses.

I can't complain that the people outside the palace are envious of the life in the palace.

"Say hello to the Queen."

In the end, it was the soft-eyed sharp-eyed, and when he saw the queen coming in, he saluted one step ahead.

The rest of the concubines naturally followed suit, and said in unison: "Queen Mother Jin'an." ”

"No courtesy." Up to now, there are many people's names, and Cen Muning can't call them all. She didn't even know who lived in which house. Looking at the roster, it doesn't correspond to the appearance of people. In short, she can be regarded as the most incompetent queen in the past.

"This palace will go to see the Queen Mother first." Cen Muning didn't bother to talk to them, and walked into the inner hall by herself.

In the inner hall, there is a strong medicinal gas, but it smells much better than the choking fat powder.

She walked in quickly, bypassed the screen, and saw Zhuang Chenchen feeding the Queen Mother medicine.

"The concubines greet the emperor and the queen mother." She saluted, and then stepped forward: "The Queen Mother is really happy to wake up." Do you feel better? ”

The Queen Mother raised her right hand, but her hand trembled violently, and a finger pointed straight at the queen, gritting her teeth and saying, "You...... It's you...... Harm...... Mourning home. ”

In a word, the Queen Mother stammered, and the medicinal soup in her mouth dripped down the corners of her mouth. The brocade quilt instantly became a puddle of medicine stains.

"Don't be angry." Zhuang Chenchen took the silk and wiped the corners of her mouth for her. "I think you heard the words of the Imperial Doctor. Your body needs to be recuperated slowly. ”

"Your Majesty...... Kill...... Kill her. "The more the Queen Mother wanted to say it, the more she didn't say it smoothly. The words didn't go well, and she herself was even more anxious. The original pale face was red at this time. Half because of resentment, half anxious.

"The Queen Mother must have misunderstood her concubines." Cen Muning said regretfully: "The concubine failed to find the murderer who hurt the queen mother, and she really betrayed the emperor's trust." Please also ask the Queen Mother to punish her. ”

"Hypocrisy...... False, you deliberately ...... "Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was gagged with a spoon.......

"Mother, I still hope that you can listen to the imperial doctor's advice." Zhuang Chen's tone was a little serious: "What is the truth about your poisoning, I and the queen already know it." If it weren't for the antidote being stolen and you didn't trust Lei Zhen, you wouldn't have been invaded by this medicine, resulting in the root of the disease now. Therefore, I still think that the most important thing for the queen mother at the moment is to take care of her body. Anything else, someone else, don't bother you. ”

From Cen Muning's eyes, the Queen Mother read the truth. Zhuang Chenchen's words were right, both of them knew that she had staged a bitter trick. It must have been Lei Zhen who betrayed her and told the truth.

Thinking of this, she nodded heavily: "What did the emperor say...... Extremely, yes. ”

"The queen mother can think like this, and the son feels relieved." Zhuang Chenchen fed her another spoonful of medicine, which could be regarded as a gentle face. "In a few days, my sister Princess Ziyang will be married. I really hope that the queen mother can recover and send Ziyang out. ”

"Marry whom?" The Queen Mother spoke short and fast this time, but she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"It's the queen's cousin, Chu Peiyuan, the major general of the Chu family." Zhuang Chenchen said bluntly: "The Chu family is now my minister, and I am very relieved to be able to promote this marriage." What does the queen mother think? ”

The last sentence was just a casual question he asked. The Queen Mother was like a mirror in her heart, how could she not see clearly. "Very good."

As he spoke, Lei Zhen came in with a bowl of rice soup.

This is also the order of Concubine Ying, and these days, it has always been like this.

"Let the concubines feed the rice soup." Cen Mooning stepped forward diligently and took the bowl from Lei Zhen's hand. "It's just the right thing to take. What did Concubine Ying say, the rice soup can feel better when you drink it, so as not to let the medicine hurt the queen mother's spleen and stomach. ”

Ling Yechen handed the medicine bowl to Liang Bao on the side: "It's okay, then the queen is here to take care of it, and I still have something to do to go back to Qingxuan Hall first." ”

"Yes." Cen Muning thought to herself, what will happen to the emperor at this time. As soon as she was about to salute, she was pressed by Zhuang Chenchen to sit on the edge of the bed.

"No need to be polite, you take good care of the queen mother. I'm free to accompany you. Every time Zhuang Chenchen talked to her, there was a slightly warm tenderness in his eyes.

Cen Muning didn't know if others could see it, but she could really feel it.

What is the basis for this little difference, the difference he treats her differently from others? Cen Muning asked herself more than once, but unfortunately she didn't know the answer.

The soup spoon in his hand had just been sent to the Queen Mother's lips, but it was suddenly waved by the Queen Mother's trembling hand and knocked over the entire bowl. The rice soup was spilled all over Cen Muning's body, and it also stained the bed.

Bingling was frightened, and hurriedly came over and stroked her hand: "Is Niangniang hot?" It's all on the back of your hand, don't you tighten it, right? ”

Cen Mu Ning smiled and said, "How else can I say that Lei Zhen is the one who has been serving the Queen Mother." Her bowl of rice soup is just warm in her mouth. And how can it burn people. Lei Zhen, you must have expected the Queen Mother to be so angry! ”

Lei Zhen's body trembled, and she immediately knelt down: "The slave just doesn't want to burn the Queen Mother, and I don't want the Queen Mother to wait too long." ”

"Yes." Cen Mu hooked her lips, and the light in her eyes was slightly cold when she looked at her: "Why aren't you worried that the Queen Mother will blame you?" Don't forget, it was you who told the emperor and the palace that the queen mother's favorite thing to watch was a bitter trick. ”

"Reel...... You...... What a guts! The Queen Mother sat up straight, and she couldn't breathe because of the pain in her heart. He just held on for a moment, and then suddenly leaned back on the cushion. "You dare to ...... Back ......"

"She naturally dares to betray you, the queen mother." Cen Muning was too laborious to listen to her, so he helped her speak. "It's just that the queen mother, you can't blame Lei Zhen. If it weren't for Lei Zhen's timely revelation that you were poisoned and the reason for the poisoning, the emperor would not have spent his experience on treating you, and he would have bothered to find the person who poisoned you. In this way, it is better if it delays your condition. ”

The Queen Mother stared at Cen Muning's eyes slightly raised, looking a bit like she was going to eat people.

The concubine was very grateful to Lei Zhen. She finally told the truth so that her concubine would not be framed. Speaking of this, Cen Mooning smiled gently: "Actually, there is another very important reason for Lei Zhen to surrender to the emperor. ”

"The queen mother, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. If you really think that it is good for slaves and maids, please spare them and slaves. Lei Zhen bowed to her, her eyes full of fear. She didn't know why the queen was so anxious, the queen mother woke up, she had to be so impatient to borrow the queen mother's knife to eradicate herself!

"Rei." Cen Muning could see her fear, but whether this fear came from the deterrence of the Queen Mother, or whether she was afraid that what she wanted would not be realized, only Lei Zhen herself knew.

"What does the Queen Lady command?" Lei Zhen's voice trembled, and she didn't dare to look into the queen's eyes.

"Let's go get another bowl of rice soup. Ask someone to clean up the place. Cen Muning said quietly: "You are the one who serves the Queen Mother, so you naturally know how to make the Queen Mother feel at ease." ”
