Chapter 360: Puzzle Clearing
Although the queen mother has been more partial to her granddaughter since she was a child, Sima Jiao has always been her granddaughter, and it is false to say that she does not feel sorry for Sima Jiao, in the past two months, she has also seen Sima Jiao change from the arrogant princess to a little girl who speaks carefully, although she has the heart to protect, but she doesn't want her daughter and granddaughter to be cold, and now her granddaughter has figured it out by herself, and wants to let Xiao Yunshu out, and then take Sima Jiao out of the palace to cultivate and cultivate feelings, she is naturally happy to see it.
At this time, seeing that the queen was chasing after Qin Changning begging the emperor to release Xiao Yunshu, her face was naturally not good, and her tone was not as good as before, and she gave an eviction order in a deep voice, "Queen, you don't need to accompany you here at all times, there are so many things in the harem, you go back and be busy with you." ”
The queen glanced at Qin Changning in disbelief after listening to the queen mother's words, she didn't expect Qin Changning to suddenly throw this topic to the queen mother, and let the queen mother end the topic, the queen looked pale and quickly got up and saluted the queen mother, "Queen mother, the concubine doesn't mean that, and the concubine naturally hopes that Jiao'er will be well, and there is no other meaning." ”
The Queen Mother didn't raise her eyebrows, and waved her hand, "The mourning family knows that you are a good queen, go back, the mourning family is also lacking." After that, he glanced at Qin Changning and said, "You two sisters will also take a walk around the Imperial Garden, and come to Xiangning Palace for lunch in an hour." ”
Qin Changning and Qin Miao got up and saluted, and followed the queen out of Xiangning Palace.
The queen looked at Qin Changning all the way and stopped talking, Qin Changning raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I wonder if the imperial aunt has time to accompany Ning'er to the Imperial Garden?" ”
Finally waiting for Qin Changning's words, the queen nodded hurriedly, "Of course, my aunt has nothing to do on weekdays, Ning Rou has been in the hospital all day long, so I want Ning'er to accompany my aunt to relieve her boredom." ”
Qin Changning smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation to the queen, "Imperial aunt, please." ”
Qin Miao took Qin Changning's hand and signaled with his eyes if he couldn't follow, Qin Changning smiled at her and looked at Zisu, "Aunt Zisu, you take Miao'er to walk around the Imperial Garden, don't be too far away, where I can see." ”
The queen also looked at Bingzhu and the others behind her, "You also go to accompany the county lord and serve for a good life." ”
Bingzhu and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Qin Miao and the others away, leaving Qin Changning and the queen for a while, Qin Changning looked in the direction of the imperial garden, and said softly, "It's too big a day here, let's go to the pavilion." ”
The queen answered, stretched out her hand and grabbed Qin Changning, her face was eager, "Ning'er, everything you just said to your aunt is false, right?" Why did you suddenly release Concubine Xiao Shu, did Sima Jiao threaten you? ”
Qin Changning looked at the queen holding his hand, his brows furrowed, looked at the imperial garden not far away, and said, "Why doesn't the imperial aunt wait to go inside the pavilion?" For the rest of the weather, the clothes Ning Er wore today were a little heavy and very hot. ”
Seeing that Qin Changning was not in a hurry, the queen frowned, nodded and said, "It's because my aunt didn't think about it, let's talk about it in the pavilion." ”
When the two arrived in the pavilion, the queen couldn't wait to look at Qin Changning, Qin Changning looked at the queen's appearance, and sneered in his heart, thinking about the queen's attitude towards her today and her attitude in the past, Qin Changning raised his eyes to look at the queen and asked, "Is the emperor's aunt blaming Ning'er, and she didn't ask your opinion, so she released Concubine Xiao Shu from the cold palace." ”
The queen paused slightly, and the corners of her mouth tugged, "Where is Ning'er, my aunt just can't figure out why you suddenly rescued Xiao Yunshu from the cold palace, besides, Ning'er, aren't you on your uncle's side?" ”
The corners of Qin Changning's eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled slightly, "Uncle is right, Ning'er is from your side, that's why I begged the emperor's uncle to release Concubine Xiao Shu from the cold palace, otherwise Ning'er can leave this matter alone at all." ”
A hint of hesitation flashed on the queen's face, and she asked in a low voice, "Ning'er, what do you mean by this?" "Isn't it what she thought, the Sima family grabbed Changning and threatened Changning to let Changning release her mother?
Qin Changning smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at the queen, folded his hands on his abdomen and took a step back, "I don't know if my aunt knows about the irritable temperament of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past two months." ”
The queen was slightly stunned, could this matter have something to do with the prince? No way, no way... She stabilized her mind and looked at Qin Changning, "What does Ning'er mean by this?" Why can't my aunt understand? ”
"Does Niangniang really not know, or did she deliberately help the prince hide it?" Qin Changning raised his eyes to look at the queen and asked in a deep voice.
When the queen heard Qin Changning's title, her aunt had changed into a cold mother, she was stunned in her heart, and lowered her voice and asked Qin Changning, "Is this matter related to the prince?" What did the prince do to make Sima Jiao hold the handle? ”
"Ning'er will handle this matter for the queen mother, so you don't have to continue to worry about it." Qin Changning looked at Qin Miao shuttling among the flowers not far from the pavilion, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, "Niangniang, if you really want to know what happened, then the death of the young lady of the Champion Hou Mansion, you can ask the crown prince, as well as the death of Father-in-law Laifu, and the dead bodies in a few wells in the East Palace..."
When the queen heard Qin Changning say so many people's deaths lightly, she was stunned, and she raised her eyes to look at Qin Changning in disbelief, "Why can't Aunt Ning'er understand this?" ”
Qin Changning sighed and looked at the queen and said, "So this is the reason why Ning'er doesn't want to tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, but you are still asking Ning'er like that in Xiangning Palace today, how do you want Ning'er to answer you?" Ning Er can say anything other than forgiving Sima Jiao and Concubine Xiao Shu? ”
The queen's eyes lit up suddenly, and she grabbed Qin Changning's hand and asked, "Ning'er, did you mean that you did that to protect the crown prince?" ”
Qin Changning frowned, and withdrew his hand without a trace, "Ning'er just didn't want to make the imperial aunt sad, so she did that, but Ning'er naturally won't let Xiao Yunshu live a good life as her concubine again, let her come out of the cold palace, it is enough to be a concubine, and let her taste the warmth and coldness of human affection." ”
The queen's hanging heart finally felt a lot more relieved after hearing Qin Changning's words, Qin Changning saw the queen's expression and knew that her goal had been achieved, she smiled at the queen slightly, and said softly, "Now that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, let's go over and take a look?" ”
After the queen's heart was at ease, she immediately had the mood to enjoy the flowers, and smiled and took Qin Changning to Qin Miao and them, "That's right, there are many new varieties cultivated by craftsmen in this imperial garden this year, let's go over and take a look." ”
