This night, Cen Muning couldn't sleep.

She leaned sideways, her eyes closed, motionless in anticipation of the dawn. Although she felt very tired, the inexplicable excitement in her heart was like a vine, wrapping her tighter and tighter.

Especially with someone by her side, she has to hide her thoughts and pretend that nothing happened. It was a long night.

It wasn't until Yin Li whispered softly outside the door that this patience finally ended.

Cen Muning opened her eyes slightly, turned around, and found that Zhuang Chen's dark eyes were looking at her. "Your Highness is awake."

Zhuang Chenchen was silent, but she had already found the bloodshot in her eyes.

"It's time to come in." Cen Muning said to the door.

Qingli pushed open the door, came in with a fish, and said with a smile: "There is someone in the palace, saying that Princess Kechun was very sick last night." The queen mother and the emperor were not at ease, so they took the princess into the palace overnight. Because the princess came to our house yesterday and used a cup of tea, the queen mother passed the princess into the palace, saying that she wanted to ask if there was another mystery in this tea. ”

Cen Mooning got out of bed, took the soft silk and handed it to Zhuang Chen. "It's just a cup of tea, what kind of mystery can it be. However, the princess has the care of the queen mother and the emperor, which is enviable. ”

The warm silk sticks to the skin and is particularly comfortable, Zhuang Chenchen smells a faint fragrance, and his body and mind are comfortable.

"Do you want to enter the palace together?" Qingli asked uneasily: "The princess's injury is not healed yet!" ”

"Nature." Zhuang Chenchen nodded slightly.

"Then the slave and maid will be relieved." Qing Li's smile looked extraordinarily beautiful.

This time when entering the palace, the sedan chair also stopped at the Fengluan Palace. Unlike last time, there were obviously a lot more guards outside the Fengluan Palace.

The majesty of Yu Linwei made this golden and glorious temple look majestic and uneasy.

Cen Muning followed behind Zhuang Chenchen and walked in slowly, carefully maintaining her composure and caution.

"Scared?" Zhuang Chenchen seemed to be able to sense her uneasiness.

"With His Royal Highness here, there is nothing to be afraid of the concubine." Cen Mu's mouth is sweet.

The inner chamberlain led the two into the inner room, and before they could enter the door, the strong bitter smell made the person uncomfortable.

"Greetings to the queen mother and the emperor." Zhuang Chenchen walked according to the courtesy, and raised his hand to complain with a faint calmness.

Cen Muning saluted with him, hanging her head gently and respectfully.

"No courtesy." Zhuang Zhizhou said worriedly: "Come and see Ke Chun." ”

At this time, the Queen Mother took care of her and moved her gaze to Cen Muning, and her tone was full of reproach: "I don't know what kind of mold I touched, not to mention that a good banquet was disturbed, and people are still sick." The mourning family heard that the princess was injured, but now it looks like there is no big problem. ”

"The medicine given by the emperor works." Zhuang Chen's tone was flat: "It's only then that Neiko recovers so quickly." ”

The word Neizi made Zhuang Yuzhou's face change slightly.

In Ruiming's palace, she is as beautiful as a cloud, but this is probably the first time he has put a woman in such an important position.

"However, the mourning family's Ke Chun has been sinned." The Queen Mother frowned slightly, both worried and angry: "It seems that these two things are related to Princess Ruiming." The mourning family loves the daughter, so I can't take care of a lot, so I can only bother you to enter the palace and go this time. ”

"The concubine is happy to solve the queen mother's doubts." Cen Muning lowered her head respectfully.

"The imperial doctor took a look at it and said that Princess Kechun ate unclean things, so she vomited and fainted." The Queen Mother asked displeasedly: "What unclean things did the princess eat in your house?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the princess only drank one cup of tea in the house." Cen Mooning said truthfully: "It's the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty." There is inevitably some negligence, and the concubine has already asked people to bring tea leaves and tea water into the palace. ”

"Someone will show it to the imperial doctor." The Queen Mother uneasily instructed the servants beside her.

"Does the queen mother believe in her sons?" Zhuang Chenchen suddenly spoke, intending to maintain.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Cen Xiang teaches her daughter well, in just a few days, the princess has won your heart." The mourning family and the royal brother are also happy. But...... It would not be good if this joy was made a fuss. The mourning family just wants to hold on to tangible evidence to prove that the princess has no such intentions, so as to block Youyou's mouth. ”

"It's the sons and daughters who are shallow, thank you for the queen mother's favor." When Zhuang Chenchen spoke, there was no extra expression on his face.

This kind of tense appearance made Cen Muning admire it very much. Just from his face, you can't see through his mind at all. This is also where she should learn more.

At this time, the imperial doctor walked in and replied truthfully. "There is no problem with tea and water, please be relieved by the Queen Mother."

"That's weird." The Queen Mother was full of doubts: "The things that Ke Chun used in the house were also checked one by one, and there was nothing wrong with it." This tea is fine, so how can the unclean thing be ingested to cause her such discomfort? ”

The imperial doctor couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, it is Weichen's negligence." ”

Zhuang Yanzhou hurriedly said: "The queen mother is relieved, maybe the weather is not good, and the spring cold in the past two days has made the imperial sister's body unhappy." It involved the nine brothers and sisters for no reason. ”

"yes." The Queen Mother condensed slightly, and her eyes were fixed on Cen Muning's face: "Princess Ruiming seems to be ...... There are many inconsistencies. You sent tribute to the palace, which led to the bite of Concubine Zhen by wasps, and then led to such a thing. Maybe it's the unfavorable year, and the Tai Sui collides. Lao Jiu, the mourning family wants to leave your princess in the palace for a few days to retreat, so as to clarify her state of mind and go to bad luck, what do you think? ”

"Uchiko is injured, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, it's better to ......"

"It doesn't matter." The Queen Mother didn't wait for Zhuang Chenchen to finish speaking, and continued: "Didn't you just say that the emperor's medicine works?" Since there is such a good prescription in the palace, it is natural that she will not lose her body. After the retreat, the mourning family will inevitably return to Zhao, and not a single hair will be missing. ”

"It's just ......" Zhuang Chenchen smiled rarely: "Before she was welcomed, she had to be separated, and the resisters were reluctant to give up." ”

These words really made Cen Muning's heart sink, the first time she saw him smile, and the first time she heard him say such "love words" so bluntly, goosebumps fell to the ground. I could only bow my head in shame.

"Huh." Zhuang Zhizhou couldn't help laughing: "Lao Jiu is really different this time. ”

"Don't worry, the mourning family won't keep her for long. I will return you in ten days. The Queen Mother gently stroked the sleeping Ke Chun, and the strands of hair were wet with cold sweat, making her feel uncomfortable. What's more, Xiao Beisheng is newlywed, in addition to the anger of this body, the mourning family is also looking forward to your better. Princess Ruiming, what do you say? ”

Cen Mooning saluted respectfully: "The concubine is willing to stay in the palace to retreat, and it is all up to the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes, after all, she is a sensible girl." The Queen Mother waved her hand and said directly to the maids beside her: "Jun Xiu will take the princess down and serve her with two maids." ”

"Yes." Jun Xiu answered, and walked to Cen Muning's side: "Princess, please." ”

"The concubine is retired." Cen Mu Ning saluted and glanced at Zhuang Chenchen reluctantly.

Zhuang Chenchen didn't say anything more, frowning and watching her leave.

He knew that all his abnormalities today fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and this abnormality would not give Cen Muning a barrier, but it was very likely to become her life-threatening talisman.

And he did it anyway.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, in his opinion, there are only two kinds of useful and useless.

Useful, naturally can stay by your side safe and sound. If you don't, you can be sacrificed by him at any time, and it's no pity.

Qingli only saw Zhuang Chenchen coming back alone, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Master, where is the princess?" ”

Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound, and went straight to the carriage: "Go home." ”

"Yes." Yin Li responded neatly and pushed the green plow next to him: "Don't get on the car yet." ”

"But......" Qingli was worried: "The princess hasn't ...... yet"

"Whether she can get out of the palace alive or not depends on her ability." Zhuang Chenchen lowered the curtain of the car, without the slightest reluctance.

This is the master she knows! Qingli gasped, it turned out that the princess was not that important in his heart at all. These days, all kinds of things are just for others to see.

Thinking of this, Qingli didn't dare to say more, and obediently got into the carriage. It's just that worry in my heart, heavy and lingering.

The retreat room was unusually quiet, and the two maidservants assigned by the Queen Mother stared at Cen Muning with good eyes.

It felt as if she was being confined to an ice cellar. Needless to say, it's cold in my bones.

The door was pushed open, and the queen mother came in with Jun Xiu's hand, and the servants retreated.

"Do you know why the mourning family left you in the palace?" The Queen Mother's tone was slightly cold, and her face was so cold that people couldn't see through it.

"Concubine...... It brings anger, and it is natural to meditate and dispel impurity. Cen Mu Ning raised her face, her eyes clear. It's as if what she says is what she thinks in her heart, without the slightest hypocrisy.

"Not really." The Queen Mother walked up to her and pinched her jaw. Crimson armor pressed against her skin, straining slightly. "The mourning family just wants to know, why does Cen Xiangfei want you to marry King Ruiming? And as soon as you entered the palace, you were so restless, what kind of evil thoughts did you have? ”

Cen Mooning endured the pain and responded calmly: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, how can the concubine understand her father's thoughts." It's just a matter of obedience. As for the concubine after entering the house, everything is not going well, and it is a good thing to think about it. If it weren't for that, how could the concubine have the blessing of meditating in the Queen Mother's palace. ”

"What a mouth." The Queen Mother smiled slightly and let go of her hand: "No wonder even Lao Jiu's piece of cold ice can be warmed by you." ”

Speaking of this, Cen Muning remembered the scene when he applied the medicine, but he broke in, and his cheeks were scarlet. "As a wife, a concubine can only do her duty. It is His Royal Highness King Ruiming who does not dislike the stupidity of the concubine, so he will give more favor. ”

That shy look, falling under the eyes of the Queen Mother, gave birth to a bit of beauty.

"It seems that the mourning family blames you." The Queen Mother's eyes tightened slightly, and her tone suddenly became serious: "So you did so many things, definitely not to find out the truth about your mother's tragic death!" ”
