After having a suspicious object in his heart, Ningkun Palace began to be quietly vigilant, especially against the little bolt.

Xiangfu remembered the people Yun Yao mentioned earlier, in addition to the small bolts, there were also curtains. So he sent someone to investigate, and found that there was also a problem with the curtain.

However, this curtain did not collude with outsiders to attack the child in Qi Shuning's belly, but stole Qi Shuning's jewelry, quietly sent it out and asked acquaintances to help her sell it outside the palace, and then sent the silver to her hometown to treat her parents.

There is a reason for it, and it is also involuntarily, compared to the evil deeds of the little bolt, the curtain is worthy of sympathy. After Qi Shuning knew about this, she asked Xiangfu to give Lian'er a large sum of silver and asked her to send it back to her hometown.

This move completely subdued Curtain Girl's heart, and also made Curtain Er swear to die for Qi Shuning.

The monitoring of the small plug did not stop, and the strategy provided by Yun Yao to Qi Shuning was to brake statically. Because she could feel that the person in the secret had begun to panic and couldn't hold her breath, so as long as they waited patiently and let that person show his feet, then finding this person would be just around the corner.

Although Yun Yao may be dangerous in doing so, the more that person does, the more wrong he will be, and the more likely he will be found out.

There was silence in the palace of King Hao for a few days, and everything seemed to be calm, except for some things that Yun Yao occasionally encountered.

For example, the spout of the teapot in her room was smeared with poison, for example, her bed was covered with dense needles, and for example, she almost fell into the water while walking by the lake in the courtyard......

Some of these things were resolved because of her own delicate thoughts, and some were avoided because Gu Qingming was secretly reminding. No matter what, there is always a danger.

When she was in Ning Palace, she had already encountered too many such things, she was framed, poisoned, and plotted, and those endless clever methods had already been taught when she was still a third-class palace maid in the Bidding Palace.

And these in the Hao Palace are just the tip of the iceberg.

The more Yun Yao was safe and sound, the more anxious the people behind the scenes became, because they all felt that she was too unfathomable, after all, no one could survive such a dense calculation.

Although it seems that Yun Yao has been passively dodging, Gu Qingming is secretly investigating everything clearly according to the clues left by these things.

It's not the first time that the two of them have worked together to do something, when they were in Ning Palace in the past, they both helped Shen Ze, but at that time their cooperation was not as obvious as it is now.

Now, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming are bright and dark, Yun Yao is holding back each other's eyes in the open, using her own safety to attract each other's energy, but Gu Qingming is following the vine, and when he finds the person hidden behind the small bolt.

Finally, when it was time to close the net, but just when Yun Yao walked to the main hall of Ningkun Palace and was about to tell Qi Shuning, a little eunuch came outside to report that His Royal Highness King Hao had returned to the palace and had already walked to the palace gate.

Yun Yao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she watched Qi Shuning walk out in a hurry, with a hurried look on her face.

"Miss Ayao, Your Highness has returned to the palace, you can talk about anything when you come back from the palace. Qi Shuning left this sentence and left with Xiangfu.

Count the days, it is indeed time for King Hao to come back.

Today is August 13, and two days later is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and King Hao should be in a hurry to come back from Ning Palace and preside over the Mid-Autumn Festival of Haoguo.

Nearly twenty days have passed since the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qin, but there has been no news from His Royal Highness King Yi, whether it is the capital or the country, it is quiet as if nothing exists.

Yun Yao thought to herself, maybe she could find out from King Hao what happened to King Yi in the capital, and why there was no news for so long.

She didn't return to her courtyard, but stood here waiting for Qi Shuning to welcome King Hao back.

After about a stick of incense, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Qi Shuning's slightly anxious Zhang Luo: "Xiangfu, tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes that His Highness likes to eat, curtains, and prepare hot water for His Highness to bathe and change clothes......"

Soon, Yun Yao saw a sturdy middle-aged man, surrounded by Qi Shuning and a group of palace people, walking into the hall.

This man is wearing an ochre-colored python robe, wearing a five-bead crown on his head, and his instrument is magnificent, even if he is middle-aged, it does not reduce the natural nobility of the Huang family in him.

This is the first time Yun Yao has seen King Hao, as rumored, looking at his face, he knows that he is a king full of righteousness, and it is no wonder that Hao Kingdom is so orderly and thriving under his governance, and it has gradually become a confidant of the Empress Dowager Qin.

If the Hao Kingdom is stronger and the people support it more, I am afraid that the emperor of the Ning Palace can really replace him.

"Shu Ning, why has this palace maid never seen this king?" King Hao entered the palace and saw Yun Yao waiting there, so he turned his head and asked the queen.

"Your Royal Highness, Ah Yao is a medical girl sent in by her father, the concubine is pregnant, and her father knows that the concubine is not in good health, so he specially sent Miss A Yao in to take care of the concubine. Qi Shuning said, "Miss Ayao has excellent medical skills, and with her, the concubine has been really down-to-earth recently." ”

"Do you know how to heal?" Your name is Ah Yao?" King Hao listened to Qi Shuning's words, something seemed to flash in his mind, and then asked, "Then what's your surname?"

Yun Yao was stunned, she didn't expect King Hao to ask her this question, and she didn't react for a while. The name "Yun Yao" is not particularly famous, but she always feels that King Hao seems to have other intentions when he asks this.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Yao replied, "If you go back to Your Highness, the slave's surname is Gu." ”

Yes, the surname Gu, Gu Qingming's Gu.

What she thinks in her heart is nothing more than to take your surname to my name, she is already Gu Qingming's person, and she has a deep friendship with Gu Qingming, why not with his surname Gu?

"Gu, it seems that it's not you, it's this king who is too worried. King Hao said, "Since the queen praises you like this, you need to be more attentive to protect the queen's fetus in the future." The fetus in the queen's womb is very important, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"The slave obeys. Yun Yao bowed down and said, "If His Highness has no other instructions, the slave and maid will go down first." It was close to noon, and after the queen had eaten lunch, it was time to take the medicine. ”

King Hao didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and motioned for Yun Yao to go down.

The kitchen was busy again, and since King Hao returned to the palace, the meal must not be as simple as before, it must be hearty. It was still Xiangfu who was watching it personally, and Yun Yao boiled the medicine with her own hands, and only after getting it done did the two go to the main hall to serve.

Qi Shuning's appetite has not been very good, so she kept giving vegetables to King Hao during the banquet, for fear that King Hao would be tired all the way and not eat a good meal.

"Your Highness came back this time, it seems that you are preoccupied, is something happening in the capital?" Qi Shuning looked at the sad King Hao, and couldn't help asking, "And what did you ask Miss Ayao about her surname earlier, and what do you mean?"

Yun Yao was very grateful to Qi Shuning for asking this question, because this was exactly what she wanted to know the most, what happened in Ning Palace?

"Shuning, the world may not be peaceful today. King Hao seemed to like this queen very much, and when he saw her asking, he didn't hide it, so he said, "There was a problem between King Yi and the Empress Dowager Qin, and the king didn't know what happened, but when the king left Beijing, King Yi had secretly left the capital, and the Empress Dowager Qin took Mrs. Jiang as a hostage, and also ordered General Qin Yuankai to lead people to arrest King Yi, saying that he ...... Misdeeds. ”

"What?" Qi Shuning was also shocked by the news, "In other words, if King Yi escapes back to Yiguo, then there will be a war between Yiguo and Ning Palace?"

"Exactly. King Hao sighed and nodded, "Once the war between Ning Gong and Yiguo starts, we will inevitably be dragged into the water." ”

"Can't we protect ourselves? No one will help us, and we will live our lives in peace. Qi Shuning asked, "Your Highness, I don't want you to take risks. ”

"Alright, that's not something you should worry about. Your most important task now is to give birth to a child for this king. This king has waited for so many days, and I don't know if he did too many sins in his previous life, and he has been retributed in this life, and he is over half a hundred years old, but he has no children and no daughters under his knees. King Hao shook his head and said, "Let's eat, you've been cooking for this king, and you haven't eaten much yourself." ”

The topic seems to end here, Qi Shuning is a traditional lady after all, she doesn't understand politics, and she doesn't want to get involved so much, her only hope is that the child in her belly can be born safely, and King Hao can be safe.

Yun Yao saw that they were no longer speech, so she put away her mind and stood there, waiting for Qi Shuning to finish her meal, and then take the fetal pill.

"His Royal Highness is really good to Niangniang, even if Niangniang has had a miscarriage several times, His Highness has never blamed her. Xiangfu suddenly said beside Yun Yao, "Every time Your Highness eats in Ningkun Palace, she talks and laughs with Niangniang, but this time she is very silent, even I, a little palace maid who doesn't know anything, knows that something is indeed going to happen." ”

"We can't interfere more in the master's affairs, let's do our part. Yun Yao comforted Xiangfu, but she already had another plan in her heart.

She now knows that King Yi left the capital safely, and it seems that the Empress Dowager Qin only detained Jiang Yi and did not hurt King Yi. After so much time, it is almost time for King Yi to arrive in Yiguo, the war is imminent, and she must hurry up.

Now that you have the evidence in your hand, you only need to lure the snake out of the hole with one trick and you're done.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, and only occasionally Qi Shuning's whispers came from urging King Hao to eat more. No one knew that this medical woman who was guarding next to the medicine jar had something else in her heart.

"This king has eaten, go to bathe and change clothes first, you eat more, don't forget to drink the fetal medicine." King Hao put down his chopsticks and said to Qi Shuning, then turned around and went to the side hall to bathe and change clothes.

Qi Shuning picked up her favorite dish and ate a few bites, and forced herself to drink a bowl of soup, she really couldn't eat it anymore, so she didn't force herself.

"Mother, take the medicine. Yun Yao walked in front of Qi Shuning with the medicine bowl, handed it over, and asked Xiangfu to serve her to drink it, and then said, "Queen Niangniang, Your Highness has returned to the palace, and the slave maid feels ...... It's time for us to close the net. ”
