Early the next morning, Kunning Palace.

The window lattices of the splendid dormitory are slightly propped up, and you can still see a row of brightly colored and fragrant foxtail lilies on the low table behind the window lattices.

You don't have to get close to smell the incense, just get close to the dormitory to smell the fragrance of the lily.

In the Kunning Palace, the eunuchs and maids have begun to be busy in an orderly manner.

Mama Su, who was waiting for Queen Lu, was waiting in the side hall, and when she heard the slight movement in the dormitory, she hurriedly led the palace maid into the dormitory softly with her freshening things.

Queen Lu lacks sleep all year round because of the head wind, so she exempts everyone in the harem from asking for peace in the morning, just to be able to rest for a while.

Queen Lu, who had a rare night's sleep, was about to open her eyes, and Mama Su had already lifted the curtain that had fallen.

Early morning glimmers fall through the window lattice.

Mama Su helped Queen Lu to get up, she looked at the tiredness on the queen's face and asked with a smile.

"Did the queen sleep soundly last night?"

She didn't ask Queen Lu if she felt it, but at this moment, when she heard her say this, Queen Lu came back to her senses and found that she had indeed slept very soundly last night.

Queen Lu subconsciously moved her shoulders, and the soreness she felt in the past didn't seem to be so strong.

She immediately recalled what Su Youning said yesterday, all the illnesses came from the strange fragrance in the hall.

glanced at the palace maid who was busy in the dressing room, turned her head and whispered to Mama Su.

"Mama Su, did you do what the palace told you last night?"

Mama Su nodded respectfully and replied in a low voice.

"Yes, the slave maid quietly cleaned up the remaining incense and incense ash in the incense burner according to the instructions of the queen's mother, and replaced it with ordinary soothing sandalwood.

After hearing this, Empress Lu's face instantly turned cold.

She remained silent and let the palace maid change her clothes and comb her hair.

Sitting on the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Queen Lu's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and the slender fingers hanging on her sides that had not yet put on her armor were slightly retracted.

All right!

I didn't expect that what Su Youning said was really true, it seemed that the head wind disease that made her unbearable was really tired.

Thinking of the person who gave her Qixiang looked worried about her and anxious for her, she only felt disgusting!

What a daring!

Empress Lu's anger increased in her heart.

Mama Su didn't understand the deep meaning, and bowed back.

"Niangniang, the Internal Affairs Office came early in the morning to ask, whether the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet is going to be organized, and does this matter need to be handed over to Concubine Ling this year?"

This is a common question.

In the past two years, Queen Lu's head wind has gradually worsened, and the imperial doctor can't diagnose the root cause, so he only let the queen not be exposed to the wind and cold, and she must not be tired after resting.

At first, Queen Lu naturally didn't worry about handing over her things to others, but she would definitely get sick after a little hard work, and every time she had a wind, she was so sore that she couldn't get out of bed, and the emperor also persuaded her to find someone to share the affairs of the six palaces for her.

Concubine Ling is a relative of the Lu family and is deeply favored by the emperor, so Queen Lu naturally only trusts her to help deal with the affairs of the harem.

In the past two years, the concubine has worked for the concubine in the harem.

Soon after, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was a palace banquet and a family banquet, and all the people who came were royal relatives, which was not an uncommon thing in the palace, so Mama Su naturally wanted to ask Queen Lu if she handed it over to Concubine Ling.

But as soon as last night passed, Queen Lu had other plans in her heart.

"Let this go in advance, and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Kunning Hall to accompany the palace for dinner."

"In addition, I closed my mouth last night, and the rest of the strange fragrance was hidden."

Mama Su nodded.

"Yes, don't worry, the queen."

The crown prince Chu Wen and Chu Lian came out of the Qinzheng Hall together.

"Second brother, is there something wrong with Zizhou?"

Although Chu Lian knew that Chu Wen had sent someone to Zizhou, he didn't know what was going on over there, but he just heard the people from the prince's line discuss the matter, so he asked.

Chu Wen raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"It's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it, the people from the East Factory will help solve it."

Chu Lian nodded.

Mama Su saw the two talking, and waited for a while before catching up.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, see His Royal Highness the Five."

Chu Wen and Chu Lian were respectful to Mama Su, after all, they were the people who had been serving Queen Lu.

"Mama Su."

Mama Su raised her eyes and said to Chu Wen with a smile.

"The queen is worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, and invites His Royal Highness to go to Kunning Hall for dinner today."

Chu Lian's eyes lit up and he smiled.

"The queen mother feels sorry for the second brother, the second brother goes, I will also go to ask the mother concubine to say goodbye."

Chu Wen smiled, and the two separated in front of the Qinzheng Palace.

Kunning Palace.

The table of the Eight Immortals is already full of all kinds of delicacies.

Chu Wen saluted with Empress Lu, and then sat down opposite her.

Queen Lu slept well last night and looked better.

"You all go down, let Bengong and Wen'er have a good meal."

"Yes."

Everyone retreated, and only Empress Lu and Chu Wen were left in the side hall.

Chu Wen got up to prepare vegetables for Queen Lu, but he didn't expect Queen Lu to put down a pair of white jade chopsticks.

"The queen mother is so full?"

Empress Dowager Lu motioned for him to sit down, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.

"How's the matter in Zizhou?"

Chu Wen frowned slightly, and at the same time put down his chopsticks.

"Wan Du Gong reminded Erchen to find a scapegoat, but Erchen really couldn't make up his mind."

"Chu Yu is the hatred of the queen mother, and the sons naturally want to share the worries of the queen mother, but recently, Chu Yu used the excuse of being injured and pushed all the people who came to the door away, and the sons ......"

Chu Wen wants Chu Yu to be this scapegoat!

First, although Chu Yu's crippled legs did not threaten his position as the crown prince, he was disrespectful to his mother many times, and even Dongchang Wan Guiquan deliberately blamed him.

The second is Chu Wen's selfishness, this selfishness Chu Wen can only hide in his heart, that is, he can't even say what is in front of him.

Empress Lu gradually frowned when she heard this.

"Chu Yu? Do you think Chu Yu is really so stupid that he can let you frame a false accusation at will? ”

"That's it, this scapegoat Hongu tells you who to let do."

Chu Wen was stunned.

"Who does the queen think she should look for?"

Empress Lu said lightly.

"Is the thing you gave to Lian'er still in his mansion before this?"

Chu Wen's eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't believe it!

Chu Lian was given marriage at the queen's Qianqiu banquet, and the emperor gave him a mansion in the near future, so that the concubine said a few words on the side, and Chu Lian was also called King Lian.

On the day of the opening of the palace, Chu Lian naturally wanted to entertain guests in the palace.

Chu Wen gave him a piece of the thing dug up from Zizhou, and Chu Lian only knew about the matter of Zizhou, but he didn't know that this thing came from Zizhou.

But he saw that the thing sent by Chu Wen did not have the mark of the manufacturing department, that is, it did not pass through the court, which meant that the thing was not legal, and he also had some doubts, but Chu Wen asked him to accept it with confidence.

Chu Lian thought about it again and again, he was originally in the line of the prince, with the queen, Dongchang and the prime minister behind him, and now that there is a prince as a guarantee, he will definitely be fine.

But now he wants to use his trust in Chu Wen to "exchange" for a chance to be a scapegoat, he ......

Chu Wen frowned slightly, but still decided to speak.

"Chu Lian is very loyal, and ...... the queen mother and Concubine Ling are in the end"

Empress Lu's eyes overflowed with coldness.

"It happened suddenly, if you hadn't done such a careless thing, would this palace need to clean up the aftermath for you?"

Empress Lu did not tell Chu Wen about her head wind, and the less people knew about it, the better.

Chu Wen pursed his lips, his eyes darkened and said respectfully.

"The retainers obeyed."
