There are several pots of jasmine in the inner sanctum, and the fragrance is far away.

Jingqiao was just about to enter the door with Concubine Pian, but was stopped by the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"Mother......" she called out a little uneasily.

Cang Lian looked fearless, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "It's okay, it's just to talk to the queen's mother, and this Fengling Palace is not Longtan Tiger's Den." ”

"Yes." Jingqiao didn't follow in, but frowned and was knocked to the side by Ming Qing to sit in the tea room.

As soon as Cang Lian sat down, the door to the main hall was shut.

In the entire hall, there were only three people, and it seemed so empty.

"What does the queen mean?" Cang raised his chin in confusion: "Aren't you going to inquire about Xinmeiren?" Why lock the doors of the temple? ”

"On that day, Concubine Liao pleaded with the emperor to lift your grounding. Speaking of which, she is finally kind to you. Even if you don't care about her, you shouldn't be so anxious, right? ”

"There is no excuse for the sin you want to add." Cang Lian lowered her eyebrows and said: "I heard that Concubine Liao was for Bo performance, and she went to the Internal Affairs Bureau in the middle of the night to put some materials and wipe the shelves. Aren't all those things done by minions? It's as if she can be a queen if she does it, that's called a positive. It's a pity that God doesn't have the beauty of adults, so he smashed the shelves like this. What does this have to do with me, and it wasn't me who instigated her to have the ambition to take over the queen. ”

"Poor concubine, don't lose your sense of proportion." Qingli glanced at her unhappily: "It's not that everyone is the same as you." ”

"I can't complain that it's the people around the queen's mother, this mouth is like a knife, and it cuts people specifically." Cang Lian glanced back at Qing Li. "The concubine is just the queen mother who revealed Mrs. Cen's true identity back then. As a minion, it's normal to work for your master. Queen, you don't dare to blame the queen mother, for fear of offending the emperor, so you will be angry with the concubines. Now that the emperor is not in the palace, the queen's illness is so quickly cured, is she going to take the concubine under the knife, right? ”

Cen Mu looked at her quietly, but was silent.

That feeling, as if her every move and every word she said was expected by the other party. Cang Lian was very disgusted by the situation where everything was held by her, and her eyes tightened slightly. "So, what does the Queen want?"

"I don't want to do anything." Cen Mu Ning looked at her calmly. "This palace knows that the former Queen Mother has a special secret whistle for you, responsible for keeping an eye on Chu Mansion's every move. So this time Uncle Hongu rebelled, you should be the first to get the news. ”

"When the queen mother said this, is she blaming the concubine?" Cang Lian smiled charmingly: "Whoever wants to rebel, how can I stop it." ”

"So you just quietly watch things develop little by little as you expect them to be." Cen Mu Ning smiled: "I'm looking for a casual time to casually stab the emperor." ”

"Niangniang, Chu Rongzhi's rebellion is aimed at the emperor. Where is it so troublesome to use concubines! Cang Lian looked at her and smiled slightly: "Queen Mother, do you believe in fate?" People don't all say that there are times in life when you have to have them, and there are times in life when you don't force them. Chu Rongzhi rebelled, it was the Chu family who planned themselves, and the concubine was just a bystander from beginning to end. ”

"yes." Cen Muning nodded: "If you hadn't killed Chu Peiyuan first, and then bewitched the emperor to canonize you as a concubine, and no matter what kind of mistakes you make, you can win the emperor's forgiveness and love, and your uncle in this palace will not be forced to a dead end." Of course he was wrong, what about you, adding fuel to the fire, and not helping less, your good palace will be written down little by little. ”

Cang Lian was a little confused, she came to Fengling Hall to make a big fuss, or when the emperor was away. Why can the queen be so calm, just don't do anything to her? What exactly was she waiting for?

"It's fine." Cang Lian met her gaze with a smile: "Anyway, you and I have been enemies for life." Good and bad, it's all in the heart. ”

"That's right." Cen Mooning nodded gently at her: "So, the first gift that this palace gave you, you have to take a good look at it." ”

Qingli turned around and brought a tray from the table beside him, which was covered with bright yellow brocade.

"Would it be good for the concubine to uncover the brocade herself?" Qing Li walked up to her with a grin and reached out to bring the push plate closer to her.

Cang Lian lifted the brocade, and a soft pillow with gold silk entwined branches and hibiscus was in front of him. Exactly like the one in her dormitory.

"What does the queen mean?" Cang Lian frowned slightly, showing her nervousness, and then smiled: "This soft pillow was specially ordered by the emperor to be made for the concubines, and there is only one pair in the palace." The smell of incense powder on the face is unique to the concubines. Why would the queen take the things of the concubines as gifts and transfer them to the concubines? Fengling Hall is not so shabby, right? ”

"When did Hongu say that this soft pillow was a gift for you?" Cen Mu looked at her with a smile, and her eyes showed deep sympathy.

"The gift that the queen really wants to give you is in this soft pillow." Qingli has to add.

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling. Cang Pian rubbed carefully, and did not say anything for a long time.

"Is the concubine reluctant to do so?" Qingli handed over a pair of silver scissors: "Do you want a slave to do it for you?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Cang Lian looked at her vigilantly, and her face became more and more cold.

"Leave the green plow." Cen Muning stopped: "There are some things, it's better not to know than to know." If you can be kept in the dark for a lifetime, it is also a blessing for the concubine. Bengong also didn't want to be a villain, so she knew that the mountain alliance and the sea oath were just a dream. ”

The queen was obviously provoking her, but even though she knew her thoughts, Cang Lian couldn't help but take the scissors.

She bit her lip and grabbed the soft pillow and cut it open. The three-layer soft satin is an excellent silk cotton, which is a little full, so it is soft at the same time, but also very elastic, and the whole person lies on the pillow, as if there is a pair of hands supporting you so comfortable.

"Is it okay for the queen to be so jealous of her concubines?" Cang Lian glared at her angrily, just because she hadn't discovered the secret in the pillow core.

"The concubine's temperament is a little impatient." Cen Mooning picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip gently.

The tea has changed from piping hot to lukewarm, and the entrance is just right.

Cang Lian threw down the scissors and slowly pulled the silk out little by little. Pulling and pulling, suddenly something flew out along the silk. "It's just some incense powder that the concubines like, the emperor said that these incense powders are added with soothing spices, which can make the concubines sleep more comfortably."

"yes." Cen Mooning smiled and nodded. "It's true that I can sleep more comfortably."

It wasn't until the innermost part of the pillow core that a dark red powder was found, which looked so obvious, that Cang Lian understood a little.

"What is this, Concubine Pity is well-informed, she must recognize it." Qingli slightly relaxed his lips, and then he felt that everything was out. "The concubine likes this pair of soft pillows so much, she must have used them every night since she got them. The three-layer soft satin, although it can tightly wrap these silk cottons and make the mother sleep comfortably, it can't wrap these good things inside. Niangniang sucked this fine powder into her lungs little by little, and no matter how good the recipe was, and no matter how much decoction she used, it was in vain. If it weren't for the guidance of the queen, you wouldn't be able to get what you wanted in this life. ”

"Deceitful, you lords and servants join hands to deceive me." Cang Lian's hand holding the scissors trembled violently, and the sharp end of the scissors pointed straight at the queen: "Do you think you can make me believe by adding something yourself?" The emperor will not harm me, when the emperor and I met each other, how can you understand the relationship between us. ”

"Whether there is this thing in the other soft pillow, the concubine will find out when she returns to the palace." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly, and her tone was gentle: "With this palace and your understanding of the emperor, you can naturally know that the emperor is a meticulous person." Since he is guarding against you, he will definitely not just use his hands and feet in a pair of soft pillows. I heard that the imperial chef in your palace was also specially selected and sent by the emperor, and many of your ornaments were drawn by the emperor himself and created by the Internal Affairs Bureau. Some incense powder, only for one person......"

In fact, Zhuang Chenchen may not have so many intentions, but Cen Muning said it so beautifully at this moment, and he couldn't help but believe it. Looking at her face, from pale to cold to congested and red, it turned out that she could be so happy.

With just a little more blow, won't she be able to bear it?

"Concubine, it is already a great blessing for you to return to serve the emperor again. Being a man should be content. Cen Mu looked at her with warm eyes: "Haven't you thought that the emperor gave you the position of concubine, but he was unwilling to let you touch the affairs of the harem?" Your origin, what have you done, do you really think that if you kill Chu Peiyuan, the emperor will never know about it again? In this harem, in the deep palace, in fact, the first person to guard against you is not this palace, nor is it Concubine Min or Concubine Liao, but the lover who makes you haunted by your dreams and can't wait for life and death. ”

"No, by no means." Cang Lian's eyes were full of tears, she bit her lip and clenched her fists, full of resentment but unable to exert her strength. "You deliberately want to provoke me and the emperor. I'm not going to fall for it. ”

"Of course." Cen Muning nodded gently: "Compared with the facts, you are more willing to use this reason to numb yourself." It's better than seeing the heart of a person you don't want to see clearly. This gift is used by the palace to pay tribute to you when you told the Queen Mother. As you said, this palace and you are lifelong enemies, and the battle between you and me has just begun. This palace hopes that you can live well, and don't die at the hands of others. Otherwise, the second half of this palace's life will be so lonely! ”

"Queen Mother, Xinmei asks to see." Outside the hall, it was the voice of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Cen Mooning glanced at Qingli.

The green plough leaned over and picked up the things on the ground, put them back on the tray, and covered them with brocade.

The door of the temple was then opened, and Xin Wei was supported by two slaves and maids, covered in blood. "The queen's mother, the concubine is wronged......"

She gritted her teeth and glared at Cang Lian: "The concubine has never murdered any slaves and maids. ”

"Concubine, what the hell is going on, why don't you tell me." Cen Mu Ning pity the resentment in her eyes, and her voice was slightly serious.

"The kitchenette is just running water." Cang Lian squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth: "The queen mother will dispose of it herself." ”

After speaking, she twisted her body and rushed out of the hall quickly.

Xin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body fainted.

"Let people send Xinmei back, and take a look at the imperial doctor." Cen Muning said to Qingli: "Send this thing to the concubine to Weiyang Palace, let her keep it as a souvenir." ”

"Yes." Qingli smiled at the corner of her lips: "The slave will go now." ”
