"Sister, don't-" Concubine Qiong pulled Kou Shu's sleeve: "I'm just an ordinary concubine, if the emperor agrees to do this for me, it will definitely make me jealous and fall into a more embarrassing situation, and if the emperor is unwilling, I will just be bored with myself." ”

Kou Shu frowned, as if she was very distressed. glanced at the door, but secretly sneered in his heart, if it was really such an unspeakable family matter, how could the door be so wide open, and let people come and go in front of the courtyard, wouldn't he be afraid that someone would hear it.

"Sister, do you have any other way?" Concubine Qiong raised her head slightly, looking at Kou Shu with tears in her eyes.

"This ......" Kou Shu thought of a thought in her heart very quickly, and then shook her head, indicating that there was nothing she could do.

Not long after walking out of Qiongyu Pavilion, Ripple spoke: "Niangniang, do you believe what Concubine Qiong said? ”

Kou Shu smiled slightly: "I don't believe it." ”

"Then why did you still say that you want to find the emperor for her?"

Kou Shu shook her head, in the end, she was an inexperienced girl, and her thoughts were still very immature: "It doesn't matter if I say it or not, the important thing is that she finished her play today." ”

"Play?" Ripple was puzzled: "If Niangniang thinks that Concubine Qiong is pretending, why do you want to come over?" ”

Kou Shu smiled faintly: "If someone wants to harm you, if you can't do it, you will think about it again, you can't hide from it, and you will have a turnaround if you face it calmly." ”

Ripple tilted his head, his expression full of puzzlement.

On the second day, Lan Ruoxuan went to Ningci Palace unusually.

"Girl Lan, why are you here? What a rare guest-" The Queen Mother was in a very good mood today, and she was also very enthusiastic when she saw Lan Ruoxuan.

Lan Ruoxuan smiled sweetly: "I got up early today and saw a lot of flowers blooming in the yard, so I thought about picking a few and sending them to the queen mother to play with." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and went straight to the bottom of her eyes: "The mourning family knows, the people in the harem, you are the most interested in the mourning family." ”

Lan Ruoxuan snorted, sat down next to the Queen Mother, and the two talked and talked, just like ordinary grandmothers and granddaughters.

After chatting for about an hour, Mama Meng came in with a bowl of ginseng soup: "Queen Mother, it's time for you to drink soup." ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, took the soup bowl, as if she remembered something, and said to Lan Ruoxuan: "By the way, Lan girl, I still have a few cups of rare Changlu Blood Swallow in the warehouse, and you will take them with you when you leave in a while." ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded, as if she remembered something and had something to say.

As if sensing Lan Ruoxuan's desire to speak, the Queen Mother said: "Lan girl, if you have anything to say, just say it, here in the mourning family, there is nothing that cannot be said." ”

Lan Ruoxuan hesitated for a long time. Even Mama Meng couldn't stand it: "Concubine Lan, the Queen Mother is the most benevolent, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Lan Ruoxuan saw the Queen Mother nodding in agreement, and then spoke: "Just now the Queen Mother mentioned Blood Yan, and the sons remembered that some time ago, I heard that there have been many objects in the palace among the people recently, and most of them are valuable devices of the master. It's just that this is just hearsay, so I don't dare to say anything. ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "There is still such a thing?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan heard this, and hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "The minister has only heard about this matter, and there is no definite evidence, and I hope that the queen mother will find out." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, the things in the palace represent the authority of the royal family, if it flows out at will, it will damage the royal face, this matter can be big or small, and it cannot be taken lightly. After thinking about it, the Queen Mother raised her hand: "A few of you will go to the people to investigate and see if what Lan Yatou said is true." Hurry up and pay back. ”

Lan Ruoxuan looked at the backs of several people receiving orders, and a feeling of pleasure slowly rose in her heart, Kou Shu, whether you have real amnesia or fake amnesia, I will make you regret surviving.

But a few hours, Lan Ruoxuan accompanied the Queen Mother just finished eating, and the people who went to investigate returned.

"There really is such a ridiculous thing." The Queen Mother's eyebrows showed a hint of gloom.

"Queen Mother, Concubine Qiong is here." Mama Meng curtled her knees and said respectfully.

"What is she doing here?" The Queen Mother's tone was a little unkind, she glanced at Lan Ruoxuan, and seemed to feel that she was a little too biased, so she straightened up and said, "Let her in." ”

Unexpectedly, Concubine Qiong came in, and she didn't say hello, and knelt down directly in front of the Queen Mother's feet: "The Queen Mother, the son is guilty, I hope the Queen Mother will be gracious." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said puzzledly: "Concubine Qiong, what are you talking about, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Qiong got up and sobbed her and said: "Erchen secretly sold the property in the palace, and I just heard that the Queen Mother was investigating, and I was terrified and came to confess." ”

"Bastard-" The Queen Mother's tone was not good, and she shouted angrily, "Concubine Qiong, count the days, you have been in the palace for a long time, and you still do such a stupid thing!" ”

Hearing this, Concubine Qiong's body trembled, and she lowered her bow, and there was an indescribable panic in her tone: "The concubine is guilty and willing to accept the punishment, but I hope that the Queen Mother will be aware of this matter, and I have also received a hint from the Queen Mother, this matter, this matter is not done by me alone!" ”

"Kou Shu?" The Queen Mother's tone changed, "What is the matter with Guan Koushu?" You make it clear to me! ”

A hint of pride flashed in Concubine Qiong's eyes, and she and Lan Ruoxuan looked at each other, and both of them hooked the corners of their mouths imperceptibly.

"Here's the thing, just because the old father of the concubine's family was sick a few days ago, and he was anxious to lack money to buy medicinal materials, but the concubine couldn't come up with so much money, and she couldn't find a good way to think about it, and the concubine had no choice but to ask the queen for help."

The Queen Mother's voice did not have a trace of emotion, and said coldly: "Then what? ”

Concubine Qiong's voice trembled slightly, and she sounded very sincere and innocent: "The queen mother is not only unwilling to help, but also told me that many of the objects in the palace are priceless, as long as you learn how to deal with them, the little money that the concubine's family lacks is just a trivial matter." This is very explicit, and it is clear that he is selling the rewards in the palace.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face sank little by little. His hand also slowly squeezed the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Concubine Qiong continued: "The queen also said that if the concubine has no way, she can also match, and when the time comes, it will be divided into three-seven-"

"Boldness-the wealth in the palace, how can she be so presumptuous!" The Queen Mother was already very angry, and she didn't have much affection for Kou Shu, but as soon as Concubine Qiong said it, she believed it out of ten, "Come on, go and bring that bastard woman to me!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she didn't even call Kou Shu's real name.

The palace maid received the order, and before she stepped out of the threshold, she heard the eunuch's slender and long voice report: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived-"

Hearing this, the faces of the Queen Mother, Lan Ruoxuan, and Concubine Qiong all changed slightly.

Lan Ruoxuan showed a puzzled look, glanced at Concubine Qiong, and signaled, Kou Shu is here, forget it, why is Song Jinyan also here?

Concubine Qiong also shook her head, confused in her heart, and couldn't help but have a hint of ominous premonition.
