Chapter 338: The Queen Mother's Scheme

When the Queen Mother heard that there was really a play, she immediately delved into it, and after some investigation, she knew that when Zhou Yuan entered the palace, it was the little girl who attacked the land to give her a little touch, and then walked through the back door, so she had the opportunity to sign up for the assessment.

This girl is not simple, there are so many palace maids in the palace, who has such ability?

Indeed, she was serving in front of the Empress Dowager, and the sunflowers and trees were in spring, and others were also in a hurry. However, a little girl with no identity and no background can complete such a thing independently and walk into the Tai Hospital, which is impressive.

The Queen Mother did not rush to summon her over for questioning, but first found the housekeeper in the Huanyi Bureau.

When the housekeeper heard that the Queen Mother had been summoned, she was so excited that she couldn't be more excited. Although it is true that she is a housekeeper, in the palace, this kind of work is despicable, and when she sees the master, she has to walk around, so as not to collide, let alone walk around in front of the master.

She first introspected herself to confirm that she didn't seem to have committed any mistakes recently, and then quickly changed into clean clothes on the countertop, dipped her hair in saliva with a grate, and then cleaned her head again, and followed the little eunuch who passed the word, and went to the Ruian Palace in a panic.

The Queen Mother sat on the kang with two or three refreshments in her hand, she held a piece of walnut cake with her fingertips, looked at it over and over again, and then put it on a plate, obviously without any appetite.

The mother-in-law stretched her neck and swallowed the saliva in her mouth, feeling the sweet smell of tea seducing all the saliva in her mouth.

The Queen Mother teased her eyelids and instructed the palace people who were waiting on the side: "Give her this snack." ”

The little palace maid brought the plate to her, a pair of small tender hands were like the little shallots in March, and the mother-in-law's outstretched hand was like an old bark, she was ashamed of herself, and quickly retracted in a panic. He took the plate through his sleeve: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and asked straight to the point: "I heard that you have a palace maid named Lu Xian, who was originally from the Empress Dowager's palace?" ”

The mother-in-law's heart trembled, and she didn't know why, so she replied decently: "Yes." ”

"Can this girl behave properly?"

The mother-in-law didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant, so she made a compromise when she spoke: "I am also diligent in doing things, and I also have vision." ”

"Didn't the mourning family ask you how she was doing, the mourning family wanted to know if she was at peace?"

The mother-in-law smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that the whole palace belongs to us The work here is the hardest, and they usually hate to split it into two pieces by themselves, how can they have those miscellaneous thoughts?" ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother replied casually: "How did I hear that this girl is not *cent, and she is a little charming." ”

Because the mother-in-law had just received the benefits of Zhou Yuan, and she was afraid of implicating herself, the Queen Mother blamed herself for not being strict in discipline, so she left a little bit of virtue when she replied: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the mother-in-law has always been strict with these girls, so they really don't have any chances." ”

"No chance?" The Queen Mother sneered: "Then how did the mourning family hear that you have a palace maid who comes out at night to have a private meeting with a man?" ”

The mother-in-law was shocked, and "Puff" knelt on the ground, her face was like earth: "How is it possible? Mother, who is talking nonsense behind this? ”

The Queen Mother softened her face: "Then you tell the mourning family honestly, where was the girl called Lu Raid the night before yesterday?" ”

The mother-in-law was a little puzzled, and without thinking: "After a busy day the day before yesterday, I naturally rested." ”

"Then how could anyone catch her having a private meeting behind a rockery? You tell the mourning family honestly, and the mourning family will not hold you responsible. ”

The mother-in-law still denied it very resolutely: "Impossible, the Queen Mother, those lowly girls are all living in the Chase Shop, after doing the work at night, the mother-in-law and I counted the number of people, and then directly locked it, and no one can come out." Even toileting can only be solved in the commode in the house. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was somewhat disappointed, feeling like she had been cut off by someone.

She didn't give up, and asked again: "Are you sure she can't get out?" ”

The mother-in-law nodded again: "You don't know how crowded the queen mother is in the shop, this next kang Xiaojie effort, you can't lie down when you go back." If she could really run out and come back half dead in a stingy cold, she would know that she lived in a house. ”

The Queen Mother sighed in frustration: "Then let me ask you, do you know if this land raid has anything to do with Zhou Yuan, the judge of the Tai Hospital?" ”

As soon as the mother-in-law heard this, she immediately became energetic, and nodded like garlic: "The two of them are fellow villagers, Lu Xun probably felt aggrieved in my place, and told Imperial Doctor Zhou, and Imperial Doctor Zhou immediately pleaded with her and asked me to take care of her." ”

"Just a fellow?" The Queen Mother's eyes flickered and she continued to ask.

The mother-in-law smiled maliciously: "Anyway, Imperial Doctor Zhou said so, and other old slaves don't know." ”

The Queen Mother didn't speak, she muttered secretly for a long time, and then beckoned to her mother-in-law: "You get up." ”

The mother-in-law was relieved and stood up, still holding the plate of walnut cake in her hand.

The Queen Mother pointed to another stack of dim sum on the table and instructed the palace people: "Wrap this plate of dim sum and give it to her to take back to eat later." ”

The palace people responded, took two plates of dim sum, and went down to look for oil paper bags.

The Queen Mother whispered to her mother-in-law: "The mourning family will tell you to do the same thing." ”

When the mother-in-law saw the queen mother speaking with a solemn face, she felt a sense of pride for no reason, and felt as if she had been reused. She leaned over halfway, hunched over like a shrimp.

"The Queen Mother, please command."

There was an unpleasant fishy smell on her head, and the Queen Mother felt almost disgusted when she smelled it, leaned back, covered her nose and gave a few unpleasant orders.

The mother-in-law smiled: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, this matter is all wrapped up in the mother-in-law, and I will definitely handle it properly for you." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "After the matter is completed, don't say that it is a few plates of dim sum, and the mourning family will reward you with a meal." ”

The mother-in-law went down happily, her eyebrows fluttering, and she was very proud.

In the past few days, the errand of the land raid is very easy, and he is no longer as tired and tired as before, and he has to endure the beating and scolding of the housekeeper. Therefore, as soon as she saw her mother-in-law coming back, she immediately straightened up and smiled flatteringly: "Mama is back?" ”

The mother-in-law let out a very arrogant "um", and her gaze was a little strange when she looked at Lu Xian. Then he swaggered past her.

Lu Xian was a little inexplicable by her, and wanted to put down the work in his hand, follow up, and asked diligently: "Will I use the maid to pour you a cup of hot tea?" ”

The mother-in-law turned around and glanced at her again, a little strange, and then nodded: "It's okay, I was a little thirsty just after eating dim sum." ”

Lu Xun immediately ran to pour the tea, and the palace people who were doing things together snorted coldly from the end of their noses with disdain, full of sourness.

The mother-in-law went straight back with the dim sum, Lu Xun didn't pay any attention to the ridicule of others, and entered the mother-in-law's room with tea, and the mother-in-law was sitting cross-legged on the kang, eating the dim sum in her hand with relish. When he saw Lu Raid coming in, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Lu Xun stepped forward and handed the tea respectfully. The mother-in-law was in a good mood and rewarded her with a piece.

Lu Xi thanked him like a treasure.

The mother-in-law pouted: "If you don't say this time and that time, I think when you served in front of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that this snack will be disdained for you, right?" ”

This is true, but how dare Lu Xun respond and show the slightest sense of superiority in front of her?

"Where? He was just a minion at the beginning. ”

"You know your duty," the mother-in-law sighed lightly: "Seeing that you are so well-behaved, there are some things that the mother-in-law wants to persuade you." ”

"Is there anything wrong with the land raid, although the grandmother said it bluntly, the servant is looking forward to it."

The mother-in-law put down the snack in her hand: "Do you know what the Empress Dowager summoned me to do?" ”

Lu Xun shook his head: "I think it's because Mama has been working hard, and the Queen Mother and her old man finally realized the grace?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "There are people who are conscientious, but the Queen Mother gave me these snacks for another reason." ”

"Why?"

"This matter has something to do with you." The mother-in-law deliberately went around in circles.

"Something to do with me?" Lu Raid was a little surprised.

The mother-in-law snorted lightly: "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Imperial Doctor Zhou of Tai Hospital?" ”

Lu Xian's body shook slightly, vaguely aware that something was wrong, his face was still light and light, and he said lightly: "The two of us are fellow countrymen, and we knew each other before entering the palace." ”

"Is it just a fellow?" The mother-in-law continued to ask: "Tell me honestly, is there anything else to do with it?" ”

Lu Xian's heart suddenly became frightened and alert, and he felt that his mother-in-law's words today were obviously something in his words.

She forced a smile: "What else does it matter?" The slave and maid are looking forward to it, so it's good to have some light, isn't it? It's a pity that it can't be climbed. ”

"Stained? I don't know how I'll die when the time comes. The mother-in-law snorted coldly again: "It's okay, it's okay, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Xian forced his composure: "How can Mama talk like this?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed deeply: "I'll tell you the truth, today the Queen Mother called a few of our housekeepers over and beat them up." reprimanded the stewards of the Shangyi Bureau and the Shangshan Food Bureau, and scolded the dogs bloodily, saying that they were not strict with the emperor, which was not conducive to the discipline of the palace people. This time, however, I was able to get rid of my bad luck and get a reward. ”

"Then congratulations to Mama."

"Do you know, then, for what reason?"

Lu Xun shook his head, and already had a bad premonition in his heart: "Please forgive the maid for being stupid." ”

The mother-in-law snorted coldly and said, "I heard that the night before yesterday, Imperial Doctor Zhou had a private meeting with the palace maid in the palace, and he was bumped into by someone. ”

The dim sum in Lu Xi's hand was suddenly crushed, and the slag fell all over the ground, and he didn't even know it.

The mother-in-law pretended not to see it, and reached out to pick up the walnut crisp on the plate to eat, slowly and methodically, pretending to be elegant.

"Also, there is such a thing?"

"But no, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, who reluctantly suppressed it after hearing about this, I am afraid that it would have been spread in the palace a long time ago, and Imperial Doctor Zhou's errand and head would not have been saved."

"Really...... Is it Imperial Doctor Zhou? ”

Lu Xian's voice finally couldn't help but tremble.
