Of course, the queen knew the relationship between Xiao Qi and Su Lian, and before appointing Xiao Qi, she also carefully investigated Xiao Qi's details, but did not find anything.

Fang Cai's suspicions were just questions about Xiao Qi's behavior, not really evidence.

The queen looked at her condescendingly.

"I want to protect myself, so you don't kill Mihime. ”

"The Queen's Mother. Xiao Qi acquiesced.

"Hehe," the queen chuckled, "obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, but bold and bold." Mei Ji brought you to the Kun Ling Hall and handed it over to me, which already explains her attitude. For people like you, I don't think it's convenient for me to stay. ”

"Mother won't kill me. ”

Xiao Qi's affirmative attitude made the queen raise her eyebrows again with interest.

"Why. If you were me, would you leave such a tricky character? ”

"Killing the slave and maid is a cover-up, and it is not difficult to do. It's just that Niangniang will definitely be worried, with the case of the slave maid, Meiji will definitely be more vigilant, and will never give Niangniang a chance to control her again. Mei Ji can't refuse the 'good intention' of the slave and maid, but when the slave and maid die, Mei Ji will get out completely. ”

"Xiao Qi, you are threatening. The queen narrowed her eyes.

"The slave is just analyzing the pros and cons for Niangniang and helping Niangniang achieve her wish as soon as possible. I hope that the mother will trust the slave and give the slave and maid more time. To get rid of Mei Ji, just wait for the time, and when the time comes, no one else needs to do it, maybe the slave will find a way for her to dig her own grave. No matter what the slave and maid say, it is also the mother who rewarded Fengtian Pavilion, and what the slave and maid do, that is what the mother does. Niangniang's golden body, even if it is dirty, the slave does not want to dirty the mother's hands. ”

Meeting the queen's gaze, this was the first time Xiao Qi carefully examined the queen's appearance.

In fact, she was born quite delicate, but she is not so prominent in the pile of beauties.

The corners of her eyes have faint fine lines, working day and night, coupled with age, she is no longer as beautiful and moving as Wang Ji and others. But in every gesture, the mature charm is incomparable to others.

If the woman in front of her can be kind-hearted and know how to make good use of people, perhaps, Xiao Qi will become a good partner with her.

However, her femme fatale heart and her vicious methods made Xiao Qi extremely disgusted.

Xiao Qi hates being threatened, she and the queen are people of two worlds, and they are destined to part ways.

"Interesting, I'm starting to like you. ”

The queen couldn't help but laugh a few times.

It's been a long time since anyone can see themselves so clearly, even Mama Cui, who has been serving by her side, may not be able to fully understand her mind.

Looking at Xiao Qi, the queen felt as if she was looking at herself in the mirror.

She really wanted to see what kind of method Xiao Qi would use to solve Mei Ji.

"Then Bengu will wait and see. ”

The queen regained her kind and affectionate appearance, she turned around, and slowly walked to the inner room: "As for your sister, she is really as well-behaved as you, and the green chrysanthemums she planted are particularly beautiful, and the palace likes it very much, so let her come to the Kunling Hall to plant some more eye-catching flowers in the spring for the palace alone." ”

Looking at the queen's back, Xiao Qi did not have the happiness of the rest of his life.

She narrowly escaped, but Su Lian was still pinched by the queen in the palm of her hand.

Hold on to her weakness, and in the future, her actions will be in the queen's control.

......

"Niangniang, the weather is cold, let's not wait any longer, the slave feels that Xiao Qi will not come out. ”

Hui Chang whispered in the garden to remind Mei Ji: "It's been so long, it's not good for Niangniang to linger near the Kunling Hall after all, Wang Ji's son, maybe when the time comes, I don't know what to arrange Niangniang, it's better for the old slave to lead Niangniang back to the palace and use some morning food." ”

Coming out of the Kun Ling Palace, Mei Ji did not go back to Fengtian Pavilion directly, but stood in a position where she could directly observe the front of the Kun Ling Palace, waiting for Xiao Qi to come out.

Mei Ji didn't know why she wanted to stay.

knew that returning Xiao Qi to Kunling Hall would be a dead end. But Mei Ji still wants to see if Xiao Qi can survive in a desperate situation.

"The view from the garden is so good that I will stay and see it a little longer, and no one will talk about it. Aunt don't worry, Xiao Qi is a smart child, maybe, she can really escape. ”

Hui Chang sighed and said, "Today is different from the past, even the queen reprimanded her mother to her face. Now, everyone in the palace is waiting to see Niangniang's jokes, and the old slave is really worried that the Niangniang Festival will cause criticism from others, and when the time comes, those people will not let Niangniang go. ”

"They just come if they want to. The palace is not a place for shrews in the market, and it is necessary to be reasonable everywhere. I don't believe that if I look at the snow in the garden for a while, I can still tell the truth. On the other hand, I really hope that they can be presumptuous in front of the Kunling Palace, and judge in front of the queen at that time, and I don't know who will suffer. ”

At this time, Xiao Qi appeared at the side door.

After Mei Ji was surprised, she smiled knowingly: "Auntie, look at what I just said, this little slave is a little smart, queen, not her opponent." ”

As soon as Xiao Qi said goodbye to the two inner eunuchs in front of the Kunling Palace, she saw Mei Ji walking towards her from a distance.

Mei Ji was not as sad as Fang Cai, and smiled lightly, as if she was not the one who was punished by the queen.

"Xiao Qi, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Xiao Qi immediately blessed himself to visit: "The slave and maid meet the mother." ”

"What's polite, just come out. Mei Ji warmly grabbed Xiao Qi and didn't let her kneel. "The scenery in the garden is just right in winter, why don't we take a walk together and enjoy it. ”

Mei Ji was so gracious, Xiao Qi only felt a chill down her spine.

"The slave obeys. ”

Actually, if you think about it carefully, not being able to see Xiao Yi is actually a good thing for Mei Ji.

Xiao Yi was seriously injured, and he was poisoned by arrows, and even Sun Tingyu was helpless, if Mei Ji was by her side, she would definitely be blamed if something went wrong. Even if it hadn't happened to her while she was sick, Wang Ji and Xiao Ji would have put this crime on her head.

If you dodge, you will be less risky.

Therefore, Wang Ji and others seem to have been reused, thinking that Meiji has fallen out of favor, but in fact, it is just Meiji's strategy.

Xiao Qi also figured this out when he saw the smile on Mei Ji's face, and felt more and more that Mei Ji's mind was unfathomable and needed to be careful.

"When I was still working as an oiran, I was fortunate enough to be here. At that time, the Duanwang Palace was still the residence of King Zhao of Xiangguo. There was chaos everywhere, and the officials listened to some small songs, which could be regarded as a chat of comfort. The housekeeper told us not to look around, but to walk the road under our feet. I was so humble that I trembled, and I didn't dare to look at it anymore if people didn't let me see it, so I can only remember the snow under my feet and the blood-stained plum blossoms. ”
