readx;? The long night finally passed, and it was already the fifth watch, Luo Song walked to the hall, bowed down again, and spoke:

"Your Majesty, it will be time to prepare for the morning court in a while, you haven't slept all night, so let's rest for a while. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, you can prepare. Shen Ze said, waving at Luo Song, and then fell silent again.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yingquan walked out with the dragon robe in his hand, looking at Shen Ze who was sitting there in a daze, his heart was depressed, and he didn't know what to say.

Obviously, when he first saw him, he was still a man full of ruffianism, although his body was also full of supreme nobility, but more of a heroic spirit. Now, Shen Ze has been overwhelmed by all kinds of trivial matters in the harem of the court, his relatives are autocratic, the harem is in politics, and now there may even be courtiers who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country......

One thing after another, one after another, even if he is the Ninety-Five, even if he has three heads and six arms, he is like an ordinary person, he has to endure humiliation and struggle in such ups and downs of life and death.

"Your Majesty, change into a dragon robe. Lu Yingquan walked up to Shen Ze and said.

She helped Shen Ze up, slowly untied his coat, and then waited for him to put on the dragon robe, take care of his hair, and put on the jade crown.

When the bell rang, Shen Ze took Luo Song and Lu Yingquan to the Morning Dynasty, while Rong Ya and Yun Yao were left in the Changming Palace, and a few people were also sent to wait, especially Yun Yao, who needed to pour her a bowl of ginseng soup every once in a while to continue her life.

However, what everyone didn't know was that the queen mother of Jianzhang Palace also got up early in the morning and waited for Shen Zexia to return to Changming Palace in the morning.

"Jinxiu, the spies from Changming Palace came to report, saying that last night, the emperor came back with Lu Yingquan in his arms, and Lu Yingquan was unconscious, and the emperor also asked Luo Song to take away the thousand-year-old ginseng and Tianshan Snow Lotus in the Treasure Pavilion?"

Today she got up earlier than usual, her spirit was not very good, and she could refresh her mind by drinking a sip of strong tea.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, this is indeed the case. Jinxiu lowered her head and said.

"If Lu Yingquan is in a coma and wants to use a treasure like thousand-year-old ginseng to continue her life, then how can she follow the emperor to the early court this morning?" asked the Queen Mother, with a hint of anger on her face.

"This ...... The slave and maid don't know, why don't the slaves and maids go to Changming Palace now, inquire clearly, and then report to the Queen Mother?" Jinxiu was also a little frightened, as if she hadn't seen the Queen Mother angry for a long time.

"I can't even inquire about the news, what did this person do!" The Queen Mother didn't agree with Jinxiu's words, but she was sulking.

At this time, Zhao's father-in-law's voice came from outside the hall: "Empress Dowager Qi, Zhou Meiren asks to see." ”

"What is she doing early in the morning? Let her in. Although the Queen Mother didn't want to pay attention to these messy things, Zhou Meiren had arrived at the door, so she let people in.

Zhou Meiren walked into the hall with a lotus heart, and saluted the Queen Mother: "The concubines see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Isn't it exempt from your greetings? Today is not the first day of the new year, nor is it the fifteenth, what are you doing here?" the Queen Mother asked, "Shouldn't you go to the Empress of the Hehuan Hall at this time?"

"The queen mother doesn't know that the concubine came from the queen mother. Zhou Meiren said, "But the palace people in Hehuan Hall said that the queen went to Changming Palace last night, and the emperor has already gone to the morning court this morning, but he has not come back yet." The concubine thought that it was time to come over and say congratulations to the Queen Mother. ”

The meaning of Zhou Meiren's words is self-evident, the queen stayed in Changming Palace again after the last time, and did not return to the Huan Palace all night, presumably she should have been favored by the emperor. And the queen is the blood of the Qin family, after entering the palace for so long, the emperor has always ignored the queen, but recently she has suddenly gained grace, which should be a good thing to congratulate the queen mother.

But Zhou Meiren's words, in the ears of the Queen Mother, are not the case at all.

She already knew that the emperor took Lu Yingquan to the General's Mansion last night, since the emperor was not there, then why did she leave the queen to spend the night in Changming Palace? And Lu Yingquan, who was picked up by Shen Ze last night, is also a mystery.

"Jinxiu, the emperor is about to go down early, right? The Queen Mother commanded, then got up and walked outside.

"The Queen Mother, the concubines may not have seen the emperor for a long time, please allow the concubines to go together. Zhou Meiren said, very consciously following behind the Queen Mother, towards Changming Palace.

Zhou Meiren walked behind, secretly happy in her heart. She knew that Changming Palace was greasy, but she was just a mere beauty and couldn't do anything at all, so she could only invite the Queen Mother over.

The most important thing in this harem is the eyes and ears, as a concubine who is ambitious and wants to compete for favor, she naturally arranged the eyes and ears in Changming Palace. She found that since the Queen Mother sent Yun Yao to serve Rong Ya, Shen Ze's attention to Rong Ya suddenly increased.

In the past, he didn't even look at Rong Ya, and he never set foot in the Hehuan Palace for half a step, but now not only does he run to the Hehuan Hall frequently, but he even allows Rong Ya to enter and exit Changming Palace freely, and every time Rong Ya goes to Changming Palace, the people she brings with her are Yun Yao!

The reason for this is obvious.

Soon, the group arrived at Changming Palace, at this time Shen Ze had not yet descended to the court, and there were only Rong Ya and the unconscious Yun Yao in Changming Palace, as well as a few palace people who were waiting.

Whether it was Shen Ze or Rong Ya, they all knew that Yun Yao couldn't hide the matter of following Shen Ze to visit the General's Mansion at night, but they didn't expect that the Queen Mother came over so early in the morning, and she was menacing, looking like a teacher asking for guilt.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

With this singing, Rong Ya's heart was also shocked, she glanced at Yun Yao on the bed, and then quickly put down the curtain on the dragon bed to cover the situation on the bed, and then hurriedly greeted her.

"Ya'er said hello to the Queen Mother. Rong Ya hindered the Queen Mother's footsteps in the outer hall and bowed down.

The queen mother didn't speak yet, but Zhou Meiren on the side took the lead in speaking: "The concubine asks the queen mother for peace." Why is there only one person in the queen's mother? What about the young envoy Yun who has been serving by the mother's side?"

Zhou Meiren's words, the meaning is very obvious, the queen mother arrived, and the queen came out to greet her, but Yun Yao, who was supposed to be with her, was nowhere to be seen, which made people have to reverie.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, and directly led Jinxiu towards the inner hall and went straight to the dragon bed.

The curtain is as thin as a veil, and the situation behind it is looming, and it is obvious that there is a person sleeping on the dragon bed, but Shen Ze and Lu Yingquan are going to the court, and Rong Ya is standing here well, so it goes without saying who is the person lying on the dragon bed.

"What a big courage, little palace maid, dare to lie on the emperor's bed, do you want to flatter the lord?" the queen mother scolded, and then lifted the curtain, but saw Yun Yao who was unconscious, with a pale face with a dark blue color.

This appearance is not asleep, it is clearly poisoned and unconscious, but it jumps the queen mother.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" Rong Ya saw that the matter was revealed, and she knelt on the ground busily, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, and prayed that Shen Ze would come back soon, because she didn't know how to explain this matter to the Queen Mother.

"What's going on?Why is Yun Yao lying on the dragon bed like this, what happened last night?" the Queen Mother asked, her voice full of majesty, her eyes glaring at Rong Ya angrily, waiting for her to answer.

"Back to ...... Returning to the words of the Queen Mother, last night...... The emperor took Yun Yao to visit the general's mansion at night, and when he came back, Yun Yao was like this, unconscious. Rong Ya weighed it again and again, and only said what she could say before she spoke, "The emperor didn't tell Ya'er what happened, so Ya'er didn't know what was going on......

After all, she is young and inexperienced, in front of the Queen Mother, she is too young after all, and she doesn't know how to deal with it calmly.

"Why did the emperor take Yun Yao to the General's Mansion? According to the mourning family, when the emperor went out last night, he brought Lu Yingquan, and Yun Yao disguised herself as Lu Yingquan and went out with the emperor?"

"Yes...... Yun Yao pretended to be Lu Shangyi and followed the emperor out of the palace. As for why...... Ya'er doesn't know ...... either."

"Ya'er, when did you learn to lie to the mourning family? You were here all night last night, what did the emperor say and do, didn't you hear a word, didn't you see anything?"

"Ya'er......" Rong Ya was completely panicked at this moment, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would continue to ask again, and she didn't know what excuse to use to cover up Yun Yao and Gu Qingming's affairs.

In her heart, she didn't want Yun Yao and Gu Qingming to be separated by the Queen Mother, so she ......

"The queen mother wants to know what happened, why didn't she ask me personally? Ya'er is young and didn't follow me out of the palace, how would she know what happened?"

Just when Rong Ya was unsettled, Shen Ze's voice quickly entered the hall from far and near. And Shen Ze, who was dressed in a dragon robe, also came in with Lu Yingquan.

"Okay, the mourning family just wants to know what happened, Your Majesty, how could this Yun Yao lie on your bed, can you say it now?" asked the Queen Mother.

"It's very simple, General Gu has a strange poison in his body, and he needs a person who understands medical skills to exchange his life for a prescription for an antidote. Shen Ze said, "Those imperial doctors are all family people, and they can't afford to take this risk, only Yun Yao, who is alone and knows a little about medical skills, so Erchen thought about letting her try." ”

"If this is the case, then why does the emperor still use thousand-year-old ginseng and Tianshan Snow Lotus to renew her life? Since she is testing medicine for General Gu according to the emperor's orders, she should be ready to die, and the mourning family feels that there is no need to give her these rare medicines. The Queen Mother said, "Besides, she is just a little palace maid, where is she qualified to lie on the dragon bed? ”

"The slave obeys. Jinxiu answered, and went out to call someone.
