Chapter 140: The Storm in the Palace (8)
The Queen Mother was angry, her cheeks trembled slightly, and her chest rose and fell violently, Pei Rong hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back and persuade: "Master, don't be angry, the phoenix body is important." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes stared gloomily ahead, her fingers rubbed the rosary in her hand over and over again, and after a while, she finally suppressed the anger in her heart, and her brows relaxed slightly.
Pei Rong observed her expression, and saw that her face was slightly softened, so she slowly spoke: "Although this matter has not been completed, it is not necessarily a bad thing to stay in the moon." ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the Queen Mother, and saw the Queen Mother twisting the Buddha beads thoughtfully, and continued: "When the slave maid asked Yun Chun just now, what she heard from Yun Chun's mouth was all her good words. With her appearance and wisdom, if she can inherit the favor, she will definitely be able to grace forever, and over time, she will be able to pull the gorgeous concubine down. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't speak, her eyes looked into the distance deeply, and she seemed to be in deep thought.
Seeing her look like this, Pei Rong was well aware of the Queen Mother's thoughts, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother had become suspicious of tonight's events, and maybe she would be suspicious of herself.
Pei Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but say frankly: "Tonight's matter, the slave maid is also very puzzled, it stands to reason that the amount of medicine in the stamen, as long as you are a little closer, stay under the flower for a while, you will be hit, but Yuewan and Yunchun have been under the flower for a long time, and they have not been hit" Baimeisheng ". After that, Hua Guifei also stayed there for a while, and there was no sign of Chinese medicine, but the medicine was personally tested by the slave maid, and there would be no problem. Moreover, after seeing Yuewan, Hua Guifei didn't use any means to make things difficult for her, and she didn't seem to be angry with Yuewan because of the emperor and the Hua family's son, but let her come back unharmed, which is really not in line with Hua Guifei's consistent style. ”
Obviously, tonight's events are indeed strange, don't say that the Queen Mother has doubts in her heart, and even Pei Rong herself is very puzzled. The person who arranged the drug was the same as herself, she was a confidant who had followed the Queen Mother for many years, and it was impossible for her to betray the Queen Mother, and there were people who were watching every move in the Imperial Garden from afar in the dark, and no one had ever been to the Imperial Garden during this period.
Hearing Pei Rong express the doubts in her heart, she naturally understood that Pei Rong was showing her loyalty, the Queen Mother was silent, picked up the teacup and muttered: "Xu is that the wind is stronger in the evening, and the medicine powder is blown away, so it seems that this girl is very lucky." ”
After that, she took a sip of tea, and said with a gentle eyebrow: "You have been with the mourning family since you were a child, and the mourning family naturally trusts you." ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother dispelled her suspicions about them, Pei Rong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Although he has followed the Queen Mother since he was a child, he has been in this deep palace for a long time, and he is used to seeing deceit, so how can he trust him completely. The minds of the masters are always turning a thousand times, even if they are henchmen who have followed for many years, there will be times when they are suspicious, and they can only serve as carefully as possible as much as possible, if they dare to give birth to two hearts, the end will be extremely miserable.
Thinking of this, Pei Rong couldn't help but be secretly frightened, but she couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
The Queen Mother's expression turned, and there was a trace of solemnity in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, which was unpredictable, and then asked: "Did Yun Chun say what Hua Qiong said to that girl?" ”
After thinking about it carefully, Pei Rong replied respectfully: "According to Yunchun, the two of them just chatted casually at first, but there was nothing special about it. But later, Hua Guifei asked the palace people to wait outside Meilin, and entered Meilin alone with Yuewan, as for what the two talked about, she had no way of knowing, but it didn't take long for Hua Guifei to beckon people back to the palace. ”
"The mourning family originally wanted to let her compete with Hua Qiong for favor, so as to suppress Hua Qiong and weaken the power of the Hua family, but I didn't expect that the mourning family underestimated her."
The Queen Mother gently put down the teacup, shook her head with a light smile, and sighed with a little regret: "She has the ability to make Hua Qiong not embarrassed her, she must have reached some consensus with Hua Qiong, and probably already knows what the mourning family is thinking, I'm afraid she can no longer be used by the mourning family." ”
Pei Rong was stunned when she heard this, and immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant, and hurriedly said: "The master wants to ......"
I saw a smile on the queen mother's face, and a cold spell suddenly condensed in her eyes.
"This girl, I'm afraid I can't keep it."
Catching a glimpse of the killing intent in her eyes, Pei Rong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind softly: "But the prince went to the temple to pray for you, and he will return tomorrow, if the prince comes back and learns about it-"
The Queen Mother sneered, interrupted Pei Rong, and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family just invited her into the palace to enjoy the plums, as for who she met in the palace, who she offended, and who wanted to take her life, how could the mourning family know?" ”
Pei Rong immediately heard the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, if Yuewan encountered an accident in the palace, Hua Guifei would definitely not be able to get out of it, after all, after Yuewan entered the palace, the only person she had seen was Hua Guifei, and she could naturally shift the responsibility to Hua Guifei at that time.
But when she thought of the relationship between Luo Huaizhou and Su Jingqian, Pei Rong couldn't help but hesitate: "But Yuewan is Su Gongzi's relative after all, and the prince has always regarded Su Gongzi as a lifelong confidant, if you ...... because you summoned her to the palace."
She paused, did not finish the rest of the words, and said with a worried face: "The slave is worried that after the prince finds out, he will make a big fuss with you because of this matter and have a dislike with you. ”
"The mourning family is his biological mother, and she is connected to him by blood and blood, and that girl is just an outsider, how can he have a dislike with the mourning family for the sake of an outsider?" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became a little colder, and there was a hint of displeasure in her tone.
"It's the slave who lost her words." Pei Rong was deeply blessed to the Queen Mother and explained: "It's just that the prince and Su Gongzi are very affectionate, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to understand the master's hard work for a while, and there will inevitably be complaints in his heart." ”
"Even if he doesn't understand the mourning family now, he will definitely be able to understand the good intentions of the mourning family in the future."
The Queen Mother's face softened slightly, but there was a trace of melancholy in her eyes, and compared with the coldness in Fang Cai's tone, there was a bit of a sense of inwardness.
"Zhou'er is pure by nature, the easiest to be used by people with a heart, Su Jingqian just saved him once, he poured out his heart and lungs to him, these years he not only disregarded his identity, in secret to a Qinglou a lot of care, but also for Su Jingqian matchmaking, introduced him to some famous families of powerful sons, let him a cloth cloth in Nanling City mixed well. That's all, the mourning family thought that as long as he could make Zhou'er happy, the mourning family could turn a blind eye and not care, but now this Su Jingqian didn't know where to get a distant relative, and he actually approached Zhou'er with this girl, but I was afraid that the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, and they had thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they wanted to get married to the royal family. ”
