"Queen Mother-" Kou Shu's voice sounded at the right time, and Kou Shu smiled slightly at the Queen Mother's puzzled look, and said: "There is another person here who doesn't know how to deal with it, and wants to hand it over to the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother help the Queen Mother decide." ”

"Alone?" The Queen Mother turned around and looked at Kou Shu with a frown.

Kou Shu nodded, gestured slightly with her eyes, and Ling'er behind her walked out from behind Kou Shu, Ling'er had never seen such a big scene, and the whole person trembled slightly, but it was different from Shufei's trembling of fear, Ling'er's trembling was just right, and it would not make people feel over-the-top or impatient, but would make people feel a different kind of respect.

"Who is this girl?" The moment she saw Ling'er, a figure flashed from the Queen Mother's mind, and the memories that followed came like a flood.

When Kou Shu saw the Queen Mother's expression, she knew that the matter had been completed, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Fang Cai'er said that the puppet in the palace of the concubine was made by a girl named Lian'er. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's right." ”

Kou Shu continued; "Now that the girl named Lian'er is dead, Erchen went to check on Lian'er's family and found that she is an orphan with no father and mother, and she has been dependent on her sister since she was a child." Sensing a hint of epiphany in the Queen Mother's eyes, Kou Shu continued: "According to the regulations of my Great Xuan, anyone who is involved in participating in the production of the art of disgust will be beheaded all over the house. Now that Lian'er is dead, her only sister is Ling'er in front of the queen mother. ”

Kou Shu's words are simple and clear, the murderer is dead, and the only one left is her sister, so please let the Queen Mother send it down.

Ling'er raised her head and stared at the Queen Mother with a pair of bright eyes, her eyes showed a slight hint of fear, and it was not because she was completely out of shape because of fear, but there was a different kind of endearing feeling.

The Queen Mother looked at the person kneeling in front of her in a daze, and felt more and more strange in her heart, and she settled down and said, "Your name is Ling'er?" ”

When Ling'er heard this, she hurriedly lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave's name is Ling'er, and she is serving in the palace with her sister. ”

The Queen Mother frowned and asked puzzledly, "You really don't know anything about what your sister did in the palace?" ”

Ling'er nodded, with infinite sadness in her eyes: "My sister and I have depended on each other since childhood, the eldest sister is the mother, my sister not only has to take care of herself, but also takes care of me, and she has long developed the habit of solving everything by herself and handling it by herself, like this, my sister never told me." It's only a few times that I accidentally found out that my sister was in a wrong mood, but I couldn't ask why. ”

Lan Ruoxuan frowned, looked at Ling'er kneeling on the ground, the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt, but she never remembered where she had seen this person's face, and the current situation, the old woman of the Queen Mother already had a hint of a whisper about herself, if she spoke again, I was afraid that it would not be the time.

After thinking about it, Lan Ruoxuan still didn't speak.

"Queen Mother, according to my Daxuan law, coupled with the fact that Lian'er practiced the technique of disgust with victory this time, it was aimed at ......" Concubine Kou Shu's voice gradually became smaller, hiding the meaning of her words.

Ling'er's heart was beating drums up and down, but she still raised her head, didn't say a word, stared at the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes, and the little thumb of her right hand was inadvertently slightly hooked and hidden behind her ring finger.

When the Queen Mother saw Ling'er's gesture, she was even more shocked in her heart, and the cute child immediately appeared in her mind.

Clearing her throat, the Queen Mother slowly spoke: "What the queen said is not unreasonable, it's just that this time, the puppet of the art of disgust has been found, and there is no need to worry about this scourge from now on. Now that Lian'er and the shameless guard are both gone, the mourning family feels that there is no need to kill them all. ”

Hearing this, Ling'er, who was lying on the ground, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, and he just raised his head to thank him, but he met Kou Shu's warning eyes.

Suddenly remembering what Kou Shu said to herself, Ling'er shouted in her heart that it was dangerous, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked up at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, everything is caused by my sister's confusion to make such a big mistake." Ling'er is willing to accept all punishments. ”

The Queen Mother looked at the girl on the ground, this girl didn't know that she had just walked around the edge of the cliff and came back, but she still wanted to take responsibility, so bold and courageous, especially those smart and lively big eyes, wouldn't it be her own peace?

The Queen Mother looked at the person lying on the ground, and couldn't help but say softly: "You girl, really, since the mourning family said you, you are not to blame in the past, how can anyone rush to ask for punishment?" ”

Ling'er shuddered, raised her head and said, "But-"

"But?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "But what is it, the decision of the mourning family, does anyone dare to question it?" After a pause, the Queen Mother continued: "Where are you waiting now?" ”

Ling'er glanced at Kou Shu, shook her head and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave is stupid and has been in the Huanyi Palace. ”

The Huanyi Palace is the most bitter and tiring palace in the palace, and the court with the least monthly payment, the main task is to wash the clothes of each adult and small master every day.

The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning: "You are young, just leave things like Huanyi to the rough envoys to do." After a pause, the Queen Mother continued: "The mourning palace is full of elderly mothers-in-law, but there have been no young faces for a long time, since you were originally in the Huanyi Palace, why don't you come to the mourning family to serve?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan's eyes widened suddenly, and then she remembered that Ling'er looked very much like the former Princess Anping, not only did she look alike, but also her manners and demeanor, although she was not as generous and elegant as Princess Anping, she was exactly the same as the behavior of Princess Anping who she had heard of before.

His heart was racing rapidly, only to hear Kou Shu nodding and saying: "The queen mother is really merciful, that Lian'er has done such a heinous thing, and the queen mother actually left her sister in Ningci Palace regardless of her previous suspicions." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said with a smile: "I'm old, and I don't like to fight and kill, now that the matter has been resolved, the mourning family will go back to the dormitory first, Ling'er, you come with the mourning family." ”

Ling'er raised her head and glanced at Kou Shu, their eyes met, and then quickly staggered. Then Ling'er hurriedly got up and kept up with the Queen Mother's steps.
