Two days later.

The queen was worried about enjoying the lake in the gazebo, and from time to time she sprinkled food on the fish in her hands: "I don't know where Li'er has gone?" In the past two days, my heart has been going up and down. ”

And beside her, the old lady was still relieved: "Don't worry, Niangniang, even if Miss Lu really finds out something, she will definitely stand on your side." Isn't the last blood confession the best proof? ”

Being relieved like this, the queen was really a lot more relaxed, and asked, "By the way, how is Concubine Li's investigation?" ”

The old lady glanced around, and after making sure that there were no outsiders around, she said cautiously: "Back to Niangniang, there is really some movement on Concubine Li's side." Last night, our people found out that there was an extra mysterious person in the Concubine Li's Palace, wearing a black cloak, I don't know what we were talking about, and I came out after a while. But the old slave hasn't found out who the man in black is! What is the purpose! ”

The queen squeezed the white-flour steamed bun in her hand and threw it fiercely: "Hmph, what other purpose can she have?" After all, I came to this palace! ”

The old lady continued: "It's strange to say, the emperor's condition is also good and bad, and he refuses to establish a prince until now!" And our people found that the emperor was also very strange, every time after the onset of the disease, after taking Miss Lu's medicine, he always asked the eunuch to help him go to the imperial garden for a turn. And the emperor who came back from the imperial garden must be radiant and full of energy! ”

The queen cocked her orchid fingers, took a teacup and took a sip, and said proudly: "What's so strange about this?" That can only mean that Li'er's medicine is good! ”

The old lady lowered her voice and said cautiously: "If it's just these rumors, it naturally can't be called strange!" But the strange thing is that the palace maid on duty at night can always hear the terrible screams coming from the imperial garden! It's heart-rending and numb! I don't know if it's true or not! ”

The queen frowned, and these two things didn't seem to be necessarily related, so she didn't take it to heart: "Maybe it's just a nonsense made up by a palace maid who is cowardly!" There is no substantial evidence for this kind of thing, and it cannot be falsely spread! Otherwise, we will invite trouble to our Fengqi Palace again. ”

At this moment, a palace maid suddenly hurriedly came to report: "Niangniang, Miss Lu is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

The queen and the old lady glanced at each other, both of them showed joy on their faces, and the queen hurriedly sorted out her makeup and sideburns: "Li'er is back?" So what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and invite her in! ”

However, there was no need for her to invite at all, so Lu Jiangli went straight in.

Looking at her cold expression, the queen was still a little overwhelmed, but she still had that gentle smile: "Miss Lu, what's wrong?" How are you in the mood to come to Hongu today? ”

In front of a group of palace maids, the queen naturally couldn't call her Li'er, but called Miss Lu.

But her eyes were staring at her deeply, unfamiliar on the surface, and she longed to take her into her arms and hug her tightly.

Lu Jiangli glanced coldly at the palace maids around her: "Trouble the queen to let them step down, I have a few words I want to say to you alone!" ”

The queen also wanted to talk to her alone.

This is the first time that this child has taken the initiative to talk to her after she knows Li'er's identity.

So, she forcibly suppressed the joy in her heart and stopped talking to the palace maids around her: "You all go down." ”

"Whoa."

After the palace maids retreated, the queen could no longer hold back the excitement in her heart, and kindly took Lu Jiangli's hand and asked with concern: "Li'er, you are finally back." Have you forgiven the queen mother? ”

Lu Jiangli withdrew his hand and looked at her coldly: "What is the queen talking nonsense?" You are the queen mother of the crown prince and Princess Qin Xiang, but not my queen mother! ”

The queen who was scolded was not angry, she still kept a smile and asked, "Is Li'er still angry after her biological mother?" Li'er is so smart, she should know who your birth mother is, right? ”

Lu Jiangli looked indifferent, and coldly raised his eyelids and said, "I know!" Of course, my biological mother is my mother! It can't be you anyway! ”

The smile on the queen's face was a little unbearable, and she said in a slightly cold tone: "Bai Zhu is just my dowry maid!" How deserving she is to be your mother! You kid is clearly deliberately angry with me and annoyed with me! Hongu admits that I am very grateful to her for taking care of you all these years! However, the blood relationship between us is not something she can replace! ”

"Li'er, the queen mother was also forced to do that back then, the queen mother has been regretting it all these years, and the queen mother misses you every night! If you don't miss it too much, how can the queen mother easily recognize Lu Mujian as you! Can you just forgive your mother once? ”

As everyone knows, her words have completely angered Lu Jiangli: "Unworthy? Why do you think my mother is unworthy! She doesn't deserve it, are you worthy of this person who abandoned me and tried to kill me and my children three times and twice? ”

Lu Jiangli gritted her teeth, her fists clenched to death, if it weren't for the relationship that blood is thicker than water, she would have beaten the other party to the point that she couldn't take care of herself!

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore! I'm here today to ask you! ”

However, as soon as Lu Jiangli's words came out, the queen's eyes turned red, and tears lingered silently in her eyes; She covered her red lips and retreated like a knife: "Child, I know I'm sorry for you!" I know I almost killed you with my own hands! But ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Jiangli interrupted coldly: "No, but! I'm not here to talk to you about old things! I only ask you one thing, where is my mother! What did you do with her? If you hand her over now, maybe I can hate you a little less! ”

The queen staggered back until her body could not retreat, and then she sat down against the railing of the gazebo: "It seems that Li'er will not forgive me in this life......"

Lu Jiangli's fists tightened again.

She felt like she was playing the piano to a cow!

"Are you crazy? What am I asking you? Where's my mother!! ”

The queen was still in a state of lost soul, but she shook her head with a wry smile: "I don't know." ”

The old lady was anxious, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss Lu, don't force your mother!" She really doesn't know! This white bead has disappeared for so many years, how can Niang Niang know where she is? ”

The old grandmother's words originally wanted to cover up for the queen and ease their mother-daughter relationship.

But what she didn't know was that Lu Jiangli had already found out that their people had been to Qinghe Town, and now they were talking about this, wasn't this deliberately concealing it?

Lu Jiangli looked at the two sarcastically, "You don't know? Then why did you send someone to Qinghe Town to inquire! Overnight, so many people in Qinghe Village, everyone who had anything to do with me were mutilated! With so much blood on your hands, are you not afraid of retribution? ”

When Qinghe Village was mentioned, the queen's face finally reacted: "That's right! The main palace sent someone to Qinghe Village to investigate! But this palace is not so mad as to kill so many innocent people! If this palace really wants to hide your identity, you can kill the person who knows Bai Zhu and your origin! Why kill so many people? Killing so many people, not only did it not play a role in killing people, but it would attract the attention of the imperial court! Hongu isn't that stupid! Li'er, this is clearly someone deliberately framing this palace and provoking the relationship between us! ”

The old lady also tried her best to defend the queen's words: "Miss Lu, what the mother said is right! Those people in Qinghe Village really have nothing to do with Niangniang, why Baizhu disappeared, we don't know! Since the beating lady received the news, she has also secretly sent people to look for it! ”

"You don't know? So why lie just now? Lu Jiangli's cold eyes looked at the queen directly, and he didn't believe her words at all.

The queen pulled her, and when she was about to explain, suddenly a screaming voice came from outside the Fengqi Palace: "The emperor has arrived!" Concubine Li's arrival is here! ”
