Xia Qingyang predicted An Guifei's movements in advance, and pulled Queen Yin to the side, but she was inevitably splashed by An Guifei.

"Sook! Jade! Sister! This is the first time I've ever worn a new outfit today! Xia Qingyang raised the umbrella high and made a splash with his toes to fight back, "Look at the move!" ”

"Hey, it's not splashing~!" Concubine An Guifei flashed coquettishly and dodged directly.

However, what she didn't expect was that Empress Yin had quietly walked around to her other side at this time, and launched a "surprise attack" silently, which happened to kick her all over the water.

"Sister Yin? Why are you also bad at learning from Qingyang?! …… I see, huh, let's have a showdown! ”

Anyway, it didn't rain much, so Concubine An simply rolled up her sleeves and prepared to do a big job.

So, under the stunned gaze of the palace maids and eunuchs behind, the three ladies chased and fought in the rain like children who had not grown up.

Sitao was the most worried, and immediately wanted to step forward to help Concubine An Guifei with an umbrella, but Mingzhu and Qiu Wei grabbed her left and right.

Qiu Wei: "The queen mother is in a bad mood, the concubine and Yun Chang are here to make her happy, so let's not come forward to disturb her." ”

Mingzhu's persuasion was more pragmatic: "Sister Sitao, do you think that these three masters are playful, and they still have time to take care of us." ”

Si Tao: ...... You're right.

-

The three of them frolicked all the way back, passing by the queen's bedroom first.

However, before seeing the dormitory, a small palace goddess was anxiously guarding, and the three of them had a hint of foreboding.

Sure enough, after the three of them passed, the little palace maid immediately greeted her, and brought bad news - Yin Zuocheng, Queen Yin's father, had just entered the palace. Now he has been in the imperial study with Ren Fu for a while.

The two didn't know what to talk about in the room, Yin Zuocheng's entourage heard the sound of the teacup in the house, and felt that it was not good, so he asked the palace maid to come and invite Queen Yin, and wanted Queen Yin to take a look, so that if something really happened, he could also persuade him.

- What happened in the harem did not spread, so almost no one knew about the current tension between Empress Yin and Ren Fu.

As soon as she heard that her father had entered the palace at this juncture, Queen Yin's heart tightened, and she didn't bother to turn around and change her clothes, so she changed her direction and went straight to the imperial study.

Xia Qingyang and An Guifei followed.

-

Dark clouds overhead. The rain began to fall heavily.

Ren Yi sent Xia Qingyang and the three of them away, went back to change clothes, and when they entered Qu Rushuang's bedroom, Qu Rushuang was standing by the window watching the rain.

Ren Yi walked over and wanted to help Qu Rushuang back to rest: "Queen Mother, I'll be walking for a while, why did you still get off the couch." ”

"Look at the rain."

"Didn't the Imperial Doctor say that you should lie down and recuperate?"

"The words of the Imperial Doctor cannot be trusted." Qu Rushuang snorted coldly, obviously reflecting the matter of Imperial Physician Wang.

Ren Yi said helplessly: "Yixuan also said, you have to rest now." If you want to take Xuan, you should always refer to it. ”

Seeing that Ren Yi moved out of Queen Yin to press her, Qu Rushuang glanced at her, and didn't want her to help, so she slowly sat back on the bed.

"Alas, the daughter-in-law's words are much better than the daughter's, and the daughter is really sad." Ren Yi pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, and was lost several times by Qu Rushuang.

"Someone sent away? How so? ”

"Just as you instructed, tell her that the mission is gone and ask for an edict, and she agreed." Ren Yi picked up the decoction that had been drying for a long time from the table, sat down on the edge of Qu Rushuang's bed, "Let my daughter guess...... Are you thinking about delaying for a while to keep her? ”

Qu Rushuang snorted, took the medicine bowl by herself, and drank slowly: "This queen can only be Yixuan." ”

"Then what about the emperor's side. It seems that he has been planning to suppress the forces on Zuo Cheng's side since a long time ago. Ren Yi pondered, "Is it from that meeting that he has decided to pull Yixuan down from the position of queen?" ”

Qu Rushuang finished drinking the medicine and did not answer Ren Yi immediately, but handed the bowl to her and asked her to put it on the table.

Ren Yi realized that her question seemed to be a bit arrogant.

Yes, the queen mother doesn't like her to care too much about the court.

She silently took the medicine bowl, and as soon as she got up and put it on the table, she heard Qu Rushuang say lightly: "He really wants to help that Yajieyu to the top - but if this is his fundamental purpose, it will be too child's play." ”

What is the fundamental purpose?

Ren Yi wanted to ask, but she was afraid of making Qu Rushuang angry, so she didn't answer again.

She turned around and found that Qu Rushuang had already lay down, so she thought that Qu Rushuang was going to rest, so she walked over and pulled the quilt, and when she lowered her head, she found that Qu Rushuang was looking at her.

"The Queen Mother?"

"Yi'er, the queen mother asked you something."

Qu Rushuang rarely looked at her with such calm and gentle eyes—all along, Qu Rushuang only showed a cold and strong side to the outside world, even with her children.

Ren Yi's heart tightened slightly, and the movements in his hands also stopped, waiting for Qu Rushuang's next question.

"Would you like to ......?"

Qu Rushuang had just finished speaking, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Queen Mother, eldest princess, something happened!"

The voice of the lady in charge came anxiously.

Qu Rushuang motioned for Ren Yi to open the door. Ren Yi walked over, opened the door, and asked what happened to Mama.

"Your Majesty put Zuo Cheng in prison, saying that Zuo Cheng was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and he wanted to treat Zuo Cheng's family for the crime of rebellion, and he just took him away!" The lady in charge is worthy of being an old man who has served Qu Rushuang for many years, and she still said every sentence clearly and clearly in her anxiety, without a single nonsense, "I heard that the queen mother has passed, and I want to stop people from taking it away, which makes Your Majesty very angry, and I want to treat the queen mother's sin together——"

"Huh? And what about later? Is there something wrong with the Queen? Ren Yi was shocked, he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen after less than half an hour of separation.

Mama hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the accompanying Wan Chang grabbed the queen in time, so nothing happened, and now the person should have returned to the palace." The emperor is still in the imperial study. ”

Ren Yi only felt that the blood was cold.

At this time, Qu Rushuang said loudly that he knew the matter, so close the door first.

Ren Yi looked back at Qu Rushuang in a daze: "Queen Mother, is Zuo Cheng really ......?"

"The Yin family has been loyal ministers for generations since your father ascended the throne. The details of their family are very clear to the mourning family. ”

In other words, it is impossible for the Yin family to rebel.

But since Ren Fu threw Zuo Cheng into prison, it means that he has a certain amount of "evidence" in his hands.

Qu Rushuang sat up from the bed, her expression was not very good-looking, but she didn't seem to be surprised: "Your imperial brother is planning to take power." For so many years, the old ministers in the court have been resentful of him, and even sometimes crossed him to report to the mourning family, presumably he has always been unwilling. ”
