Empress Dowager Xiao's complexion gradually soothed, and Empress Situ was also pleased.

The concubines who were sleeping in the dormitory could not be driven at their own residence, but had to take a chariot to the Jianzhang Palace to serve the car. The area was extremely strictly checked, and presumably the assassin couldn't get close at all, so he set the assassination location in the Changqiu Palace, which was not well guarded.

"Combining the above three points, we can draw the following conclusions." Chen Ying finally said: "Although the people behind the scenes are good at calculation, their strength is limited, and their stamina is obviously insufficient. That's why the courtiers said that the two ladies don't need to worry too much, and that person should not have the strength to assassinate again. ”

This analysis is undoubtedly gratifying, and Empress Dowager Xiao curled her lips and nodded: "This kid is really the head of the way when he talks about things. ”

Empress Situ smiled softer and softer, and said approvingly: "The queen mother is right. The sons also looked at the child as likable. ”

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and immediately a palace maid stepped forward, holding a tray padded with velvet, and a jade hairpin was placed on the plate, which was made of fine jasper, as clear as a Wang Qingbo, and the pattern of King Wen's visit to Xian was carved on it.

"Good boy, take it." Empress Situ motioned to the palace maid to send the tray to Chen Ying, and said softly.

Chen Ying knew that this was the queen's reward, but she was disrespectful, so she accepted it generously.

When the queen mother saw it, she also asked someone to bring a box of newly-made ivory handbags in the womb, rewarded Chen Ying, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you can also go to the palace, and when you go back, you will always tell the sisters at home." This box bracelet is a new style of Nanbianer this year, regardless of whether you wear it yourself or give it away, it is all good. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao thought about it so thoughtfully, Chen Ying was grateful, so she also thanked the reward.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled at her, then picked up the teacup to Queen Situ and said with a smile: "I'm tired when I look at you, go back to the palace and rest." As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ying again, with a smile on his face: "The mourning family has been sitting for a long time, and they are a little tired, and the three girls will accompany the mourning family to go outside." ”

The Queen Mother is chasing guests in disguise, and Queen Situ naturally doesn't want to sit anymore, so she has to get up with a smile and say: "Thank you for your mother's love, and your sons are feeling tired." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao covered her lips and smiled: "When I go back, tell Your Majesty not to come these days, and it is only right to take care of his body." ”

"Erchen saved. The queen mother should not be too tired. Empress Situ's voice was soft, and after saying that, she turned to Chen Ying and sent her a reassuring look.

Chen Ying understood what she meant, and knew that Empress Dowager Xiao should not take any more action today, and she felt at ease.

After sending Empress Situ away, Empress Dowager Xiao stood up and said casually: "Let's go for a walk in the garden, there are many trees there, it's cooler." ”

Chen Ying lowered his head and walked out of the main hall after a group of palace people.

On the top of the platform, the sun shines on the head, reflecting the stone steps white. The group walked down the stairs, but instead of going straight forward as Chen Ying expected, they turned from the curved corridor onto a bluestone road.

It wasn't until that moment that Chen Ying knew that the garden that Empress Dowager Xiao was talking about was not the Imperial Garden, but the one that Zheng Chaozhu took her to yesterday.

The green shadow on the stone road is uneven, and there are a row of metasequoia and a row of paulownia trees planted on both sides of the road, and the green shade is cast by the sycamores, and when you walk on it, it is really much cooler.

Chen Ying walked with her own face, sometimes looking around calmly, admiring the surrounding scenery, as for whether Empress Dowager Xiao was on her side or not, it could not affect her state of mind.

I don't know if there will be a chance to come to the harem again, in the end, this is also the top royal garden of the Great Chu Dynasty, which is worth her time to taste

Along the way, Empress Dowager Xiao never said a word, and Chen Ying was silent. Two figures, an old man and a young man, strolling among the sparse flowers and trees, lined with the willow wind shaking green, lotus dew drops, this quiet also seems pleasant.

After walking a little further, Chen Ying noticed that the direction of Empress Dowager Xiao was the path that led to the mountain stone cave yesterday.

It seems that the Queen Mother still knows about yesterday's events, and the reason why she brought Chen Ying here is self-evident.

Just when Chen Ying was thinking like this, he suddenly heard a "babbling" sound in the distance, and even though there was a soft sound of feet, it sounded from time to time, and it sounded like the sound of the palace people when they were walking.

She couldn't help but feel a slight chill in her heart, looked up, and as far as her eyes could see, there was a gorgeous vermilion dress, and the mysterious vermilion lacquer door was actually open at this time, and more than ten palace people came out of it.

"What a coincidence." Empress Dowager Xiao said in a very soft voice, and there seemed to be a bit of ridicule in her words.

At this time, the group of palace people were already lined up on both sides of the Moon Cave Gate, and a beautiful woman wearing a mud and gold silk skirt and a nine-bead golden phoenix hairpin walked out flutteringly.

"It's a coincidence that my sister is here today." As soon as she saw the Empress Dowager Xiao, the beauty immediately smiled from afar, her voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, it was indescribably good, she was already walking forward quickly, and the hairpin on her hair swayed with her steps, "Sasa" sounded softly, as if with some kind of rhythm.

Empress Dowager Xiao stood in place and did not move, but her voice sounded later, gentle and kind, and there was no longer a trace of ridicule from Fang Cai: "I heard that my sister was unwell, and the mourning family was really worried for several days. My sister thinks it's great, right? ”

Between the words, the beautiful woman had already walked in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao, paused, mentioned it again, took half a step forward, lightly carried the skirt, and bowed.

A large skirt is spread around her, the mud gold is lined with green grass, and the golden hairpin reflects the green water.

What is a beauty bending her waist, Chen Ying really saw it this time, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited for a while.

If it is said that Empress Dowager Xiao is a beauty in the twilight, although the beauty in front of her is not young, she still has the innocence of a girl, and that innocence is mixed with a point of romance, three points of freedom, and five points of freedom, which is unforgettable.

"Yo, whose family is this little girl? Born well and cleanly. The beauty bowed, straightened up calmly, swept her eyes over Chen Ying, and then covered her lips and smiled.

Chen Ying stepped forward to salute, but she didn't know what to call for a while, but fortunately, Empress Dowager Xiao's voice sounded in time, which could be regarded as relieving her.

"This is the sister of the mourning family, surnamed Wu, you call the concubine Niangniang." Empress Dowager Xiao said, and there was no joy or anger in her voice.

Chen Ying's heart was relieved, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously twisted to the side.

This Concubine Wu must be the other party that Empress Dowager Xiao intended to frame yesterday.

Chen Ying frowned slightly, recalling the news that Old Madam Xu had explained before.

Speaking of which, Concubine Wu is also the favorite concubine who has followed the first emperor for many years, and she also had a harem back then, and the limelight is close to that of Empress Dowager Xiao. It's just that she is a little bad in terms of heirs, although she has been pregnant a few times, she has never had a man and a woman, so when she is getting older, the first emperor treats her mediocre.
