After Li Muyao came out of the palace, she did not go back to the prime minister's mansion directly, but got off the carriage in a remote alley on the way, and after seeing that there was no one around, she boarded another carriage hidden in the corner.

Lowering the car curtain, Li Muyao turned around and saluted respectfully, "The courtiers have seen the queen and the highness." ”

The queen was dressed as a commoner, and her simple skirt could not hide her luxurious complexion.

She asked Li Muyao in a cold voice: "She agreed?" ”

The eldest prince had a circle of gauze wrapped around his neck, hanging the broken arm, and glanced at Li Muyao, waiting for her answer.

Li Muyao shook her head, "She refused." ”

"How do you do that?" The queen was displeased, "You can't do such a trivial matter, Li Muyao, is it that the emperor has a broken arm, and you don't even pay attention to the palace?" ”

The queen is very anxious, and after the accident of the eldest prince, her mentality is no longer as forbearant as before.

The slightest little thing will be misunderstood by her as someone else's downfall.

The eldest prince also looked at Li Muyao with resentment, "Miss Li, although the marriage has been canceled, as long as I insist on requesting, I believe my father will still agree." If you don't want to ruin your future, go back to the palace at once and settle the matter. ”

"Your Royal Highness, please be calm." Li Muyao half-lowered her eyes, wiped away the resentment in her eyes, and said softly: "Murong Xi is no longer the Murong Xi of the past, her vigilance is very high, especially after the incident with the county lord of De, Murong Xi never leaves the palace alone. ”

Li Muyao said calmly, glanced at the queen's face at the right time, and continued: "But I believe that she will definitely come." As long as Your Highness is fully prepared, if Murong Xi doesn't come at that time, I will try my best to bring people here. ”

"What you said is true?" The queen's anger decreased slightly, and she was half skeptical.

"If Murong Yao didn't come, Mu Yao would have no complaints if she was disposed of by the queen!" Li Muyao said decisively.

The eldest prince stared at Li Muyao calmly for a long time, retracted his gaze and leaned against the wall of the car, his silence represented that he was willing to believe Li Muyao once.

-

The banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion was scheduled for half a month later, and in the past three days, Murong Xi ordered Rusty to go out to investigate, and indeed many high-ranking officials and wives received invitations from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But Murong Xi will not discourage her precautions against Li Muyao because of this.

"Don't you want to make such a big show against me, right?"

Murong Xi chuckled, put down the post and opened the window, looking at the spring color of the Begonia Residence.

A pure white figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Another seven days had passed, and Murong Xi had already made up his mind to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet, and went to Jishitang to buy enough self-defense medicinal materials to come back.

was grinding the medicinal powder carefully, and Shen Yue suddenly hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Princess, Father-in-law Ji in the palace is here."

Murong Xi hurriedly grabbed the brocade quilt and covered it with medicinal herbs, and then went to open the door of the room, and said suspiciously: "Father-in-law Ji? Looking for me? ”

Shen Yue nodded, "Yes, Gonggong Ji said that the Queen Mother hadn't seen the princess for a long time, and summoned the princess into the palace." ”

The Queen Mother summoned her, and most of them were palace maids from Cining Palace who came to the palace to spread the word.

Murong Xi thought back to the past, but there were a few times when Father-in-law Ji came.

Every time Father-in-law Ji arrived, almost everything was wrong with Cining Palace.

She was in a state of confusion, and her pace quickened.

Before the person entered the main hall, he asked Father-in-law Ji: "Father-in-law Ji came to invite in person, is there something happened to the Queen Mother and her old man?" ”

Gonggong Ji leaned over and bowed his waist, "The princess is too worried, it's really not the queen mother who has an accident today, it was Mama Yu who broke her ankle when she was serving the queen mother, and the queen mother sent the old slave to invite the princess when Her Majesty asked for peace." ”

Gonggong Ji smiled embarrassedly, "The Queen Mother also said that in the past, when the princess couldn't speak, she would often go into the palace to accompany the Queen Mother and listen to the Queen Mother's nagging." Now that the dumb illness is cured, I will ignore her old man. ”

Murong Xi couldn't cry or laugh.

Among the juniors close to the Queen Mother, no one can shake his status.

"I'm tired of Father-in-law Ji, I'll go change my clothes and follow Father-in-law Ji into the palace."

By the way, I brought the new medicinal materials for Concubine Li, I don't know if it will help her.

"Okay, don't worry, our family is waiting for the princess." The smile on Grandpa Ji's face became deeper and deeper.

After changing his clothes, Murong Xi refused Father-in-law Ji's carriage and entered the palace in a carriage driven by the Night Blade.

Before parting, Murong Xi did not forget to leave a few taels of silver for the Night Blade, and said: "Every time you enter the palace, you can not leave the palace until after the queen mother's nap." You go find a teahouse to rest first, and then come back after noon. ”

Nightblade thanked him, and the silver took it.

As for whether he would go, Nightblade hesitated and did not hesitate, raised his eyes and glanced at the egret, and the two nodded slightly, the meaning of which does not need to be explained, they both understand.

Murong Xi went straight all the way to Cining Palace.

"Father-in-law Ji doesn't have to serve His Majesty?"

The palace gate of Cining Palace was about to be seen, and seeing that Gonggong Ji had no sign of leaving, Murong Xi asked in a joking tone to express the doubts in his heart.

Gonggong Ji shook off the dust and groaned with a smile, "The princess doesn't know, the dynasty is closed today, and His Majesty is still accompanying the Queen Mother in Cining Palace when the old slave leaves." ”

The emperor is also there?

Murong Xiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, it doesn't matter if she is there or not, in front of the Queen Mother, the emperor's behavior has always been restrained.

While comforting himself in his heart, he also stepped into the palace gate of Cining Palace.

Murong Xi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

All the scenes of Cining Palace are still the same, but in the early spring, the flowers and plants in the courtyard in previous years will be taken care of by the Queen Mother herself, and they are very tidy.

Now the flowers and trees have not sent out a single shoot, but the weeds are all over the courtyard.

Murong Xi took a step back, instinctively wanting to see if he had gone to the wrong palace.

Unexpectedly, the door of the palace behind her suddenly closed, and the dull sound of the door panel almost burst her eardrums.

Murong Ji's eyes flickered cold, "What does Grandpa Ji mean?" ”

Father-in-law Ji was still smiling, and he bowed respectfully and stepped aside.

At this moment, a golden shadow walked out of the main hall of Cining Palace.

Murong Ji stared, and his heart sank.

I saw the emperor walk out slowly, stand on the steps, and smile faintly at her:

"It is my will."

"See Your Majesty." Murong Ji's face sank as he gave the ceremony.

-

At the east gate, the two groups collided head-on, and the coachmen refused to give in to each other.

Mama Yu got out of the car and asked, "What's wrong?" Who dares to stop the Queen Mother? ”

The carriage procession that drove into the city gate from outside the city looked at each other, and Yelan walked to the carriage and whispered: "Master, it's the queen mother who is out of the city." ”

Jiang Huaiyin's tightly closed eyes opened suddenly, hooked the corners of his lips and responded lightly: "The road is so wide, each side is going one way." ”

Yelan gave up her hand.

walked to the center of the bustle, and said respectfully to Mama Yu: "It was Mama Yu, and the prince of my family had just returned to Beijing after a tiring journey." If Mama Yu wants to go out of the city, she will go to the right side, and the prince's carriage will go to the left. ”

Mama Yu craned her neck and looked at the carriage, and suddenly smiled, "It's the prince who has returned to Beijing, who is the old slave Dao, who dares to stop the queen mother from going to Dakong Mountain to pray for blessings." ”

Ye Lan's eyes flashed, and she didn't respond.

Mama Yu said again: "The Queen Mother is merciful, I heard that His Royal Highness had an accident, and I can't sleep at night, so I always remember it." Today I am preparing to go out of the city to worship the Buddha in the Dakong Temple for half a month, which is a great thing. Why don't you take the carriage first and let it go? ”

"Yurong." The Queen Mother's voice came from the carriage, "Go to the right." ”

Mama Yu narrowed her eyes, snorted unwillingly, and motioned for the coachman to move on.

The two columns crossed over, and at the moment when the carriages were parallel, the Queen Mother said lightly: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." ”

She expected Jiang Huaiyin to be able to hear her voice.

Sure enough, Jiang Huaiyin's words came quickly, and his tone was contemptuous, "Erchen, I have been taught." ”
