Chapter 143: To Each His Own Thing (2)

Although the owner of this palace did not go to court for two or three days due to illness, the queen still issued an order to let the eunuchs and maids in the palace arrange the entire palace according to the situation in previous years. No, it's late at night, and many palace maids and eunuchs are still busy.

In the Xukun Palace, the Queen Mother, who used to be high, was being suppressed by two palace maids who claimed to be sent by Empress Xie. A few days ago, all the palace maids and eunuchs in Xukun Palace were replaced, and even Liuli, who had been with him for decades, had not contacted him for many days.

The eunuch who came to give the order said that it was the emperor's will. It is said that the palace was troubled by the Assassins, and in order to ensure the safety of the Queen Mother, it was necessary to rearrange the personnel to serve them.

On that day, Liuli happened to be ordered by himself to do something, so he was not in the palace. Later, Liuli sneaked back, and the Queen Mother naturally didn't believe the eunuch's statement, so she asked Liuli to pay attention to the situation outside, and sure enough, everything was normal in the palace, but Liuli, who was the Queen Mother's personal maid, was sensitive to the breath of conspiracy.

It just so happened that she overheard the conversation between Jingya and the imperial doctor, so she told the queen mother all what she had seen and heard and guessed. As soon as the Queen Mother heard this, she realized that something was wrong, so she asked Liuli to try to inform Qian Chengjing, but Liuli never came back after that time.

Since yesterday, these two palace maids have sent "tonics" to the queen mother on time for three meals a day, and they have to drink it as much as possible.

"Queen Mother, this tonic slave advises you to be obedient, don't force us to be rough like the previous few times." A palace maid said with a grin.

If eyes can kill, these two palace maids have died a thousand times. The Queen Mother is tall, how could she have suffered such humiliation, at this time she can't wait to skin the two people in front of her and drink blood.

"Yo yo yo, the queen mother's eyes can scare the slave to death, and the slave and maid are too timid to see this face." Another palace maid with a "tonic" was not afraid, but more mocking.

"Do you want to drink it yourself, or will we drink it for you?" The palace maid asked again.

The Queen Mother still didn't speak, just looked away, ignoring the two of them.

"It seems that the Queen Mother still likes us to serve."

"In that case, what are we waiting for? still doesn't wait for the Queen Mother to drink medicine. After that, a palace maid rolled up her sleeves and was about to do a big job to control the Queen Mother. Another palace maid picked up the medicine bowl, waiting for the opportunity to pour the medicine down.

In fact, after the Queen Mother drank the medicine several times in a row, her body was weak and she couldn't resist these two palace maids at all.

However, just when the palace maid was about to pour the medicine, the queen mother said weakly: "The mourning family will come by herself." ”

Hearing this, the two palace maids were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, thinking that the old woman in front of them had finally learned to behave. So, the two chuckled, "The Queen Mother really understands things and knows how to cherish her slaves." ”

The Queen Mother took the medicine bowl and drank it all. The palace maid was very satisfied when she saw it, "The slaves and maids will not disturb the queen mother's rest." ”

When the maid left, the door was shut. The Queen Mother's eyes showed a fierce light, and she thought in her heart how to break them into thousands of pieces. Although the Queen Mother was humiliated in her heart and gritted her teeth fiercely, she also knew that now was not the time.

I saw the Queen Mother crawling out of bed with great difficulty, and then crawled towards a pillar. After all her efforts, she finally climbed to her destination, and it turned out that there was a potted plant behind the pillar.

In a moment, the Queen Mother spit out the last mouthful of decoction in her mouth into the potted plant, and then stretched out her fingers to keep clasping her throat, she wanted to spit out the decoction she had just drunk, she couldn't just sit still and be at the mercy of others.

Xu is knowing that those palace maids will not go and return, Xu is too uncomfortable, Xu is martial arts are too profound, and the Queen Mother did not notice that when she was struggling to induce vomiting, a pair of eyes were looking at her.

These eyes were too cold, without any emotion, so cold that people couldn't help but shiver at them, as if he was indifferent to everything that was happening in front of him, and he was not interested.

When the Queen Mother saw him, her heart jumped to her throat, although such a look could not glimpse any emotion, but it was inexplicably terrifying, this person was thousands of times more terrifying than the two palace maids.

After all, she is the queen mother who has dominated the harem for many years, and her desire to survive tells her that she must be calm in order to seek life. So she swallowed and asked, "Who are you?" ”

It's a pity that the words that came out betrayed her. The trembling voice showed the extreme fear in her heart, even though she was the Queen Mother, who had seen countless scenes, she couldn't hide her fear of death at this moment, these seemingly calm eyes were really terrifying.

The man in black didn't answer the question, but withdrew his gaze and sat down on a chair. When she looked at each other again, the Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. So she carefully climbed back into bed, and she couldn't stand the feeling of crawling on the ground and looking up at others.

The man in black seemed to understand her thoughts, and smiled mockingly, but did not embarrass her.

The medicinal properties of the body have not yet dissipated, and a series of actions have made the Queen Mother sweat profusely. After she had calmed down a little, she said to the man in black, "Although the mourning family doesn't know who you are, I think we can be partners." Whether it is gold and silver treasures, or glory and wealth, the mourners can promise you. ”

Hearing this, the man in black still didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows slightly at the Queen Mother, showing a certain interest.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. As long as someone can help her through this crisis, she doesn't care about any conditions, not to mention that she is still the queen mother and her son is still the son of a country, even if she wants to take revenge and kill the other party, it is not impossible.

"As long as you manage to rescue the mourning family and the emperor and save the lives of our mother and son, the mourning family and the emperor will definitely be grateful." The Queen Mother did not say that she would let the other party keep the emperor's throne, she thought that the other party should understand that only by continuing to be the emperor and the queen mother of a country can they fulfill the word "heavy thanks".

This time, the man in black did not continue to be silent, and after shaking his head slowly, he said, "I can't do this." ”

"Why?" The Queen Mother hurriedly asked. Without waiting for the other party to answer, he then said, "Maybe this is a bit difficult for you, we can change the conditions, for example: you send a letter to the mourning family to the barracks and hand it over to General Li in person." ”

"I guess you misunderstood, what I said couldn't be done because they poisoned Qian Chengjue, and due to the delay in treatment, he died soon."

"What!" The Queen Mother was like a blow to the head, her body collapsed on the bed, and then she kept coughing. Gradually, the corners of her eyes contained clear tears, and the tears did not flow in the end, she forcibly resisted her emotional breakdown, and asked the man in black: "Why do the mourning family believe your words?" ”

"You can choose not to believe it, and you have nothing to lose to me."

The other party's words are dangerous for the Queen Mother, in the case of restricted freedom, the black man in front of her may be her only chance, if the other party does not plan to make a deal with her, then the breath of death she felt at the beginning...... Thinking of this, the Queen Mother shuddered...... "Then what is your purpose here, and what conditions do you want the mourning family to meet you?" ”

The man in black did not immediately answer the queen mother's question, his eyes locked on one of his slender hands, and at first glance he thought he was admiring his white and slender fingers, and only after a closer look did he understand that he was thinking.

The Queen Mother waited for the other party's answer anxiously, not daring to urge in the slightest.

Finally, the man in black returned his gaze to the Queen Mother, and said to her indifferently: "After thinking about it, I still haven't figured out what value you have for me to help you." ”

"You ......" Hearing this, the Queen Mother was angry, anxious and disappointed, she was the Queen Mother of a country, and she was worthless in the eyes of this person! How could she not be angry.

The man in black got up at this time and was about to leave, and after taking two steps, he turned back to the Queen Mother and said, "By the way, your youngest son wrote to General Li, but he didn't get any response, and he didn't see any movement from General Li. ”

The last words of the man in black were intended to make the Queen Mother even more desperate and hit her will, but the Queen Mother was not affected by it, but shouted: "Cheng Yue!" ”

Although the man in black was masked, the Queen Mother couldn't look at his appearance, but she thought about it, and she didn't want to exchange any benefits from herself and the emperor in this world, and only wanted to watch them fall and die, but Qian Chengyue was the most likely.

Sure enough, the man in black stopped leaving, and the Queen Mother thought she had guessed correctly, and was about to speak again, but she heard the other party's very indifferent voice: "Do you want to climb the relationship?" The two words of Chengyue made him sick to hear, and in his heart, she was not qualified to call him that.

"I know that I was wrong back then, but I also had no choice, the inner courtyard of the royal court, who didn't fight for themselves...... Even your mother......"

"Shut up."

The man in black swept his eyes and shouted at the same time, so frightened that the Queen Mother didn't dare to say anything more.

"I'm not in the mood to listen to your explanation, besides, you guessed wrong, if you have the opportunity in this life, you can face him again." The man in black's tone grew colder.

This person is not Qian Chengyue? The Queen Mother was surprised, so who else would ......? It's not Qian Chengyue, it can only be ...... Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's body began to tremble unconsciously, if it was Qian Chengyue, maybe she would still have a chance to live, if he intervened...... Even if he doesn't kill himself at the moment, his chances of succeeding in turning the tables will be slim.

Could it be that everything that has happened in the past few days has been done by his command? He and the emperor didn't even notice it in advance? This......

The Queen Mother looked up at the person in front of her in horror, although the other party was still masked, the more she looked at it, the more she felt like it. "You arranged all this?"

Scold...... The man in black chuckled and said, "Definitely, but this is what I'm happy to see." After that, the man in black no longer stayed, and disappeared in the queen mother's bedroom in an instant.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother fell weakly on the bed, looking at the top of the bed with empty eyes.

"Emperor!" I don't know how long it took, a mournful shout came from Xukun Palace, and then there was no movement. Because it was late at night, the palace maids and guards standing guard outside were already full of sleepiness, so that everyone thought that they were too tired and had auditory hallucinations.
