When Cao Ziqing went upstairs, Chunxi happened to come out of the room.

"Ma'am. Is the third master okay? Looking at Cao Ziqing's anxious appearance, Chun Xi didn't say anything, but just pushed open the door of the next room.

Lan Xin, who was in the house, saw them come in and immediately retreated from the bedside.

"What's wrong with the third master?" Cao Ziqing asked Lan Xin again.

"The third master is much better, he just took the medicine, and now he just fell asleep." Lan Xin glanced at the catharsis and returned.

Cao Ziqing nodded, expressing reassurance.

"Master Cao, I'm a lot relieved that you're here. It's just that this time he was seriously injured, and it was all because of me, so I ask for your understanding. Chunxi took Cao Ziqing out, closed the door, and stood in the porch.

"Madame, do you know where these people come from?" Cao Ziqing asked.

"How would I know?" Chun Xi shook his head.

"Does the lady know who saved you?" Cao Ziqing asked again.

Thinking of Han Ji's instructions before leaving, she didn't want to reveal her identity, so Chun Xi shook her head again. Seeing Chun Xi like this, Cao Ziqing was also at a loss.

"Is it the same gang last time?" Cao Ziqing suddenly remembered that the last time he went out of the palace to investigate the case, someone secretly helped and delayed the time, otherwise, he would not have been able to save them in a hurry.

Hearing Cao Ziqing's words, Chun Xi didn't refute it, only said: "Maybe." ”

"What are the plans of the little lord now?" Since he doesn't know the origin of the two gangs, it may take more time to find out, and Cao Ziqing is no longer entangled in that dead knot.

"Such a big thing has happened, the ancestor will know about it sooner or later, it's better to go back and ask for the guilt first. As for what I came out to do, I'm afraid I can't do it. Chun Xi sighed, the most important thing now is Xuan Ye's body and the origin of those men in black. It doesn't seem like she came for Xuan Ye, she didn't believe that Xuan Ye came alone in disguise, and someone would see through his identity and assassinate the current emperor. Since it wasn't him, it must have come for him. Now the best way is to go back to the palace first, at least to ensure that your life is worry-free. Xuan Ye's body is taken care of by the imperial doctor, and it should be better.

"That Ziqing will escort the third master and his wife back to the palace first, and then come to meet Master Zhang."

"What Brother Cao said is reasonable." When Cao Ziqing spoke, Zhang Pengrong happened to come upstairs: "Since there is no progress in the case in my hands, Brother Cao might as well send Brother Ai and his wife back first." I was also planning to sort out the thoughts of the whole case and wait for Brother Cao to come back. ”

"It's fine." Chun Xi nodded, agreeing with them.

On the way back to the palace, Cao Ziqing was there, which also made Chunxi able to take care of Xuan Ye personally, and Mu Hui was also able to rest.

As soon as I returned to the Tangquan Palace, I invited the imperial doctor to come over. Within a stick of incense, I saw the Queen Mother come in with a large group of people such as Concubine Wan and Concubine Tong.

Seeing Xuan Ye on the bed, the Queen Mother couldn't help but say, turned around and slapped Chunxi. This slap was too heavy, and Chunxi didn't expect the Queen Mother to make a sudden move, and she was beaten back several steps.

Chun Xi knelt down, and Mu Hui and Lan Xin on the side were also frightened by this slap and knelt to the ground.

"The Queen Mother is angry." Seeing that Chunxi was beaten, the group of people who followed in also knelt down one after another.

"What is the emperor doing?" Xuan Ye on the bed heard the movement and struggled to get out of bed.

"Emperor." Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly stepped forward and held him up.

"It was I who secretly left the palace by myself, and it has nothing to do with the nobles." Xuan Ye's voice was weak, but his words were clear and his tone was firm.

The Queen Mother didn't want to save his face, so she had to let Chunxi go back to her residence first. Seeing Xuan Ye nodding, Chun Xi took Mu Hui and Lan Xin back.

Half an hour later, she was about to rest, when she heard a noise outside the door. Suddenly, I heard the voice of the little eunuch: "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”

Chunxi didn't have time to add clothes, so she hurriedly went out to pick up the car.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an. Please say hello to Concubine Wan and Concubine Tong, the two are auspicious. ”

When the Queen Mother saw Chun Xi kneeling on the ground, she didn't scream. Walking past her, Mu Hui and Lan Xin, who were kneeling behind, walked in front of her.

After half a sound, the Queen Mother said: "The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, and he can't tolerate the slightest injury." The emperor suffered a serious knife wound in the back, although there was no fear of life, but the knife was too deep and would leave a scar. Is it because of you? ”

"Yes." Chun Xi nodded.

The Queen Mother turned around and looked at Chunxi, and said, "Since the emperor has the heart to intercede for you, the mourning family will no longer care about you." But when the mourning family heard that these two girls went with you, and the master was injured, but he came back intact, what should he be guilty of? ”

After listening to the first half of the Queen Mother's sentence, Chunxi just breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know that the next words made Chunxi extremely frightened.

"Come on, pull these two people out and cut them down."

"The Queen Mother is angry." She yelled. Mu Hui and Lan Xin also kept buttoning their heads to request.

"Anger? The master has passed, and the slave should be punished. If you don't do your duty well, you should be damned if you are a slave. How can the mourners spare you? "The Queen Mother is angry, and it is not as soft as usual. She had long wanted to rub her lettuce and sharpened her spirit, and today she took this opportunity to embarrass her. Last time in the Imperial Garden, if it weren't for her, how could she be blamed by the emperor's mother? Today, when they came back, it happened that the Empress Dowager was soaking in the hot springs, and she instructed her not to disturb them. Isn't that a godsend?

Seeing that Xuan Ye was fine, he coaxed him to sleep, and hurriedly came to clean her up. Since Xuan Ye is not allowed to punish her by himself, let her receive the punishment herself.

"The Queen Mother is right. Since it is the fault of the slave, it is also the master's teaching. It was I, not them, who caused the emperor to be in danger. In any case, there is no death for sin. Her words were sonorous, and she lowered her head, tears streaming down the ninja's heart. She suddenly understood, where was the Queen Mother willing to let her go? Obviously just holding on to it, setting yourself up? But she has no other way. She couldn't watch Mu Hui and Lan Xin die.

What do they have to do with these things? When something happens, desperately protect yourself, is this also wrong?

Seeing that the scene could not be cleaned up, Concubine Wan, who had never dared to speak, persuaded: "Guiren's words are not wrong, these two girls are indeed guilty of not causing death." ”

"Yes, Huang Eniang." Seeing Concubine Wan's intercession, Concubine Tong couldn't help but say: "This slave is at fault, and it won't be so serious to cut off his head." ”

"Okay." When the Queen Mother heard what they said, she suddenly showed a smile: "Drag down the mourning family and beat it." ”

"Nope." Chunxi looked at the two people who were dragged away in horror, and her heart was very anxious. didn't care about any etiquette and palace rules, stood up, and chased after him.

"Don't fight, don't." Unexpectedly, the eunuchs stopped her as if they had expected it.

Mu Hui and Lan Xin were tied to a bench, and two eunuchs with wooden sticks stood on the left and right. It's more ruthless than the next, and within ten strokes, there are already some skin and flesh blooms.

"Don't fight, don't fight." She cried and begged. She ran back, knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother, kowtowed desperately, and kept shouting.

The Queen Mother ignored her and just stood.

"The Queen Mother, it's her fault and me. If you want to beat them, you will be punished, come at me, don't beat them. As soon as Chunxi thought that Mu Hui's left shoulder was still injured, her heart was even more painful, and she was about to collapse.

Where did the Queen Mother listen to her words, and how happy she was to see her pear blossoms with rain, and her heartache. It's like seeing Concubine Dong E back then. was very happy in his heart, and he only regarded Chunxi as Concubine Dong E, and wished he could drag her out to beat, instead of kneeling on the ground and begging for himself.

Just like that year, when the little slut knelt at his feet and begged.

Where did Chunxi know the Queen Mother's thoughts, she just thought that the Queen Mother didn't like herself, and today Xuan Ye came back from injury and attributed all the faults to her.

Concubine Wan and Concubine Tong, who were standing on the side, were shocked by such a scene, they had never seen such a queen mother. The Queen Mother has always liked to chant Buddha, and she doesn't like to care about the trivial matters of the harem. But since Chunxi entered the palace, he has been dissatisfied. I heard that I was scolded by my ancestors again last time in the Imperial Garden because of my relationship, and I was angry.

But what you see today, where is the anger, isn't there the hatred? It's still quite hateful.

They didn't even dare to come forward to plead, looking at the pleading appearance, they were also sympathetic.

Not far away, the sound of wailing made people feel even more creepy. The blame for this rod has always been counted, but the Queen Mother not only did not specify it, but also did not seem to have the intention of shouting to stop.

Mu Hui and Lan Xin's cries were heartbreaking, like countless insects eating her heart.

Chunxi grabbed the corner of the queen mother's clothes and begged: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, please ...... Let them go...... Let them go...... Please......"

The Queen Mother lifted her foot and stepped back, and the corners of her clothes that she was holding tightly were torn. The Queen Mother saw that her gorgeous clothes were torn, and she was even more angry in her heart, and she never forgot to say: "Give the mourning family a hard beating." ”

"Don't, don't. The Queen Mother was angry...... After returning the mother's anger, ...... angry. When Chunxi heard her words, she kept kowtowing and pleading. Each time it became heavier and heavier, and his forehead gradually bleed.

Seeing this, Concubine Wan also knelt down and begged: "The Queen Mother is angry." ”

Concubine Tong was also shocked by this scene, she didn't know why Chunxi pleaded for the two palace maids. is just a palace maid, and it is also appropriate to be punished, even if it is close to herself, she doesn't have to kowtow so seriously.

Concubine Tong also knelt down and begged: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to calm her anger." ”

Seeing that Concubine Wan and Concubine Tong both knelt down, the people present knelt down one after another and asked: "Please calm the anger of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was also frightened by the hush in front of her, she just wanted to teach her a lesson, let her know her status, and do her duty. Who would have thought that she would be willing to burst her forehead for the sake of two palace maids.

"Stop." Just as she was fainting with her head knocked out, a familiar and warm voice appeared.

"Ulva Xi." When Xiaozhuang approached, Chunxi just fainted on the ground.

"Quickly call in the Imperial Doctor." Su Mo'er and the two palace maids carried Chunxi into the house.

When passing by the Queen Mother, Xiaozhuang's eyes shocked the Queen Mother. How long, how long has it been since I saw her so angry?
