Chapter 278: Headless Jade Statue

As soon as he walked into the Lanling Palace, he saw Yuan Fu and his eunuchs holding heavy gifts talking to the two masters in the flower hall.

"The queen mother, the princess mother, these are all gifts from the emperor to the two." Yuan Fu said with a smile.

"Rewarded by the royal brother? What is the reason for this? Ling Ruoxuan didn't know the reason why Emperor Yuchen suddenly rewarded these items, she didn't want to cause trouble in this palace.

"This is the emperor to thank the queen and Princess Qi for sending lunch, the emperor also explained the imperial dining room, make some good lunch, and will send it to the Lanling Hall later, and invite the queen and the princess to dine together."

"So that's the case, everything has Lao Yuanfu's father-in-law." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile. Immediately gave Mengchun another look, and Mengchun knowingly took out a certain amount of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Yuanfu's hand.

"Hey, it's all a matter of slaves, the princess is too polite." Yuan Fu took the silver and said with a smile. How can there be a person in this world who dislikes a lot of money, and the silver given for free is naturally spent with peace of mind.

"You should be rewarded with this silver, and I have to thank you for sending these gifts." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile.

Yuan Fu smiled and just put the silver into his arms, Ruyue and Ruxing walked in, and the two respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "The slave has seen the queen and the princess Qi." ”

"Well, like the moon and like the stars, why did you come back so late?" The queen said lightly. It stands to reason that they just went to deliver food, and the gift givers have all come, and they haven't come back yet, and they are not unfamiliar with the road that has just entered the palace.

"Slaves and maids, the slaves and maids met Prince Rui in the Imperial Garden, and the prince has items for us to transfer to Princess Qi." Such as the star only promised.

"Oh? How could King Rui let you give the gift to the concubine, but the concubine had already made Mengchun refuse. Ling Ruoyi said coldly.

During the meal, Rui Wang came with gifts, Ling Ruoxuan didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, so he said that he was pregnant and needed to rest more, so Mengchun let it go. Naturally, the gift also let Rui Wang bring it back. Who knows, this star and moon have been brought back.

Hearing this, Ruyue Ruxing was shocked, King Rui asked them to transfer the brocade box to Princess Qi, but listening to the meaning of Princess Qi's words, people didn't think about King Rui's gift at all, but they took it back, how can it be good now.

"Princess, this brocade box ......" Ruxing held the brocade box and walked a few steps to Ling Ruoxi's side.

"This brocade box concubine will not accept it, since you have accepted it, then give it to you." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. If such a thing was given to other palace maids, she would have been holding the brocade box happily and didn't know who she was, since Ruxing and Ruyue were serving the queen, they naturally knew that this brocade box was not taken casually, and if they didn't do it well, Chunlan and Chunmei around the queen were good examples, especially Chunlan, who died very miserably, and was killed by Ling Chi.

"Queen Mother......" Ruxing and Ruyue looked at the queen, praying that she could say good things for them, and let Princess Qi accept the brocade box, King Rui's power is also very large, if King Rui learns that they did not give the brocade box to Princess Qi, and swallowed it by himself, then the end must be ten times worse than Chunlan.

The queen looked at Ruxing and Ruyue very distressed, the maid next to her died and changed again, this Ruxing and Ruyue are the most clever in her palace now, if these two people die, then there is not even a lovely person around her.

"Sister, since it is the brocade box that King Rui asked them to transfer to you, you can accept it, he is the second emperor uncle of the child in your womb, and it is also appropriate to give a gift, just now you let Mengchun refuse to accept the gift, maybe you have annoyed him, you might as well accept his gift, and return a gift when you have the opportunity, that is." The queen said softly.

"Okay, Mengchun, open it and see, what kind of gift it is." Ling Ruoyi took a sip of hot water. Because of her pregnancy, she has to quit the tea she usually likes to drink.

Mengchun stepped forward and turned out to be like the brocade box in Xing's hand, and when he opened it, there was a jade statue inside, and it looked so familiar. "Look, princess." Mengchun said worriedly.

"Princess, what is Prince Rui doing this for?" Mu'er exclaimed.

"Mengchun, put away this jade statue and send a post, this concubine will go to King Rui's Mansion tomorrow." Ling Ruoxuan said coldly. Dare to hold a headless jade statue, looking at the lines on the jade statue's clothes and the accessories on its waist, people who are familiar with King Qi will recognize this as his jade statue at a glance.

The queen didn't understand the deep meaning of this headless jade statue, but she felt very weird about such a gift, and she gave someone a headless jade statue in a good manner, did she want to curse this person to death, or did she want to scare Princess Qi into having a miscarriage? Who this purpose is aimed at, King Rui naturally knows it.

"Sister, are you going to King Rui's Mansion? I don't think it's better not to go, you don't know what this wise king thinks about you, you know that it's a tiger's den and you still want to break in. ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, my sister thinks that Concubine Wan's son is so sick, why did Imperial Doctor Guo want to harm Concubine Wan's son, doesn't my sister have any questions about this?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly.

"What does my sister mean...... all this was instructed by King Rui?"

"No, I don't know who instructed it, but just because King Rui sent the headless jade statue, it's worth my visit to King Rui." Sometimes, Ling Ruohui really felt that she was getting farther and farther away from this queen's cousin, her temperament had changed, and even the dining habit of eating lunch together at noon had changed. The most important thing is that they all had the same idea, but now they are very different.

"Then, my sister just said that Concubine Wan's son was killed, and Imperial Doctor Guo was also instructed by someone, isn't that person King Rui?"

"I didn't say that it was King Rui, and there is no evidence pointing to King Rui, I just suspect that King Rui's subordinates are hiding something from him that he shouldn't do." Ling Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and said. An imperceptible smile rose at the corner of his mouth, fleeting.

The queen saw that Ling Ruoyi was a little tired, so she said, "My sister is tired, so let's take a good rest, I'll go back to the palace first." ”

"Okay then, I'll ask Mengchun to tell the imperial dining room in a while to deliver the food to my sister's palace." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile and a yawn.

"Yes, okay." The queen said with a smile.

"I remember that my sister loves Longjing shrimp and crab roe lion head the most, and I will ask the imperial dining room to send it to my sister for a while."

"It's still my sister, I still remember that I love to eat these, and you should eat more nutritious ones. Okay, I'll go back to the palace first, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow. The queen smiled like a flower road.

"Okay, then I won't send my sister, my sister will go slowly." Ling Ruoxuan smiled lightly.

Others don't know, but the people around Ling Ruohui know that after Queen Xiahou Jingyao gave birth to the little prince, she has an allergy to seafood, but she doesn't want others to know that she has this problem, so she will eat some every time she eats, and the rest will be rewarded to her subordinates, and she has to hurry up to take the anti-allergy pills specially developed by Ling Ruoyi. So, how can a person who is allergic to seafood be willing to eat seafood.

Even if the queen is not allergic to seafood, she doesn't like to eat crab roe lion's head. Fang Cai's conversation finally confirmed Ling Ruoyi's guess in her heart, this queen was not her cousin Xiahou Jingyao, but an impostor.

"Princess, the slave remembers that the queen doesn't like to eat crab roe lion heads, and ...... And she is allergic to seafood, how can she be so happy to hear Longjing shrimp and crab roe lion head. Mu'er said with an innocent expression.

"Mu'er, you haven't seen it yet, that queen is a fake." Mengchun reminded lightly.

"Fake?" Mu Er exclaimed in surprise, and then knew that it was not good to shout so loudly, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, looked around with her eyes and whispered: "Princess, what should we do, the queen is a fake, what about the others?" Could it be fake? ”

Hearing this, Ling Ruohui chuckled, this Mu'er is really imaginative, a fake queen is already very troublesome, and the entire palace is there, isn't that just a mess?

"You Mu'er, of course everyone else is real, only the queen is a fake." Mengchun said lightly.

"Princess, the slave maid thinks that there is also a problem with that Ruxing and Ruyue, and that Ruxing should be able to do martial arts." At this time, Bingyu said lightly.

"Do you know martial arts? How does it compare to you? Ling Ruoyi said lightly. It doesn't matter if she has martial arts or not, no matter how high her martial arts are, she is afraid of kitchen knives, not to mention that she Ling Ruoyi used a kitchen knife for self-defense, but a pistol.

"Rest assured, the princess, the slave is confident that she can be subdued within thirty moves." Bingyu said lightly.

"Okay, when the time comes, that Ruxing will be handed over to you, and this palace will deal with that impostor. However, the most important thing at the moment is to find out where my cousin is first. ”

"Princess, will they have killed the real queen mother?" Mu'er said worriedly.

"Naturally not, until their purpose is revealed, the cousin will be safe, and the cousin will become a hostage for them to get out at a critical moment."

"Princess, where will they hide the queen mother? Could it have been shipped out of the palace? Mengchun analyzed.

"No, it may be easier to bring people into the palace, but it is impossible to transport a person out of the palace, and it is also a queen, I think, my cousin must still be in the palace, but they are locked up in a secret place."

"That slave will secretly follow Ruxing or Ruyue tomorrow to see where they have gone." Mu'er asked automatically.

"No, you don't know martial arts, if they find out, it will definitely fall short, and if they have a precaution, it will be even more difficult to investigate." Ling Ruoyi stopped with a loud voice. Mu'er's mind is good, but she is still naΓ―ve after all, and in the face of the battle in the inner courtyard of the palace, she is still at the level of kindergarten.

"But the slave really wants to help you, miss." Mu'er pouted. She knows that she can't do martial arts, she can't compare to Mengchun in terms of mental intelligence, and she can't compare to Bingyu in martial arts, and she can't help Miss in many things, but she also studied hard, but she still can't do it.

"Mu'er, I know your thoughts, don't worry, there is one thing that I really want to leave to you." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile.

"Really, really? What is the matter to be handed over to the slave maid, the slave and the maid must go to the soup and the fire, and they will not give up. Mu'er said happily. Hurriedly expressing her determination, this series of words made Ling Ruoyi laugh.

"I don't want you to go to the soup or go to the fire, I just need you to be friends with Ruyue and tell her the truth about the situation on my side." Ling Ruoyi winked at Mu'er and said.

"Huh? Doesn't this mean that I want to betray Miss and become a traitor? I don't want to. Mu'er pouted. Helping others harm Miss, how can this be, not to mention that Miss has treated her well for more than ten years, and has never had any punishment, she will not do such a conscienceless thing.

"Mu'er, didn't you say you wanted to help me? So, you have to be close to them, and I think this false queen will be suspicious of me, and if she knows that I tempt her with seafood, she will definitely try to deal with me. So, let you get acquainted with the people around her and tell her something that she should know. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Miss is going to invite you into the urn, I thought I was really going to be a traitor." Mu'er touched her head and said with a smile.

"Silly girl, you want to be a traitor, I can't bear it." Ling Ruoxuan joked with a smile. These words are also in Ling Ruoyi's heart, these girls have been by their side for so long, people have feelings, if any of them really betrayed themselves, it must be very heartbreaking.

"Miss, the slave will cooperate with you in this scene." Mu'er patted her chest and reassured.
