Song Siyan's mouth was so painful that she couldn't reply, and she just snorted in her throat.

Jin Gui'er was a little embarrassed: "If that's the case, the little slave still suggests that the mother leave here quickly, and the little slave has to think of an explanation for the delayed time, but if you can't let anyone see it, there will be a discrepancy in this explanation." ”

Jin Gui'er looked earnest, and it seemed that she was saying it to Sihai, but in fact, she was listening to Empress Jiang.

At this time, Mama Wang was close to Queen Jiang's side and whispered: "Niangniang, it's better to go back now!" I don't know what His Majesty is looking for this female official? If we are scolded by His Majesty because of her, it is not worth it, it is better to come back another day. ”

Empress Jiang pondered for a moment, and said to Song Siyan, who was still sitting: "Lady Song, in view of your physical discomfort, this palace will leave first today, but this palace is pious, and I will definitely come here from time to time to pray for Your Majesty in the future." ”

Empress Jiang walked outside, Jin Gui'er immediately flashed aside, his slightly arched back never dared to straighten up, although he was a little sore to death now, but as long as he held on a little longer, he would be able to complete the task given to him by Ling Zhiqiao.

He bowed and said loudly: "Congratulations to the queen mother, the little slave has a lot of words, let your father-in-law from all over the world go out to visit first, confirm that there is no one, and then go out." "Actually, Jin Gui'er said it to Ling Zhiqiao, who was lying on the wall, so that they could hide it quickly.

Empress Jiang waved her hand, Sihai immediately walked towards the door, Empress Jiang said to Jin Gui'er with satisfaction: "Jin Gui'er, it seems that you are about the same age as Sihai, and your mind is much more careful than him, but for a while, I will pay more attention to this palace, why is Your Majesty looking for her, this palace will not treat you badly." ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, the little slave must help the mother keep an eye on her within the scope of her ability, and the little slave must quickly cover up the face of the Song female official, so don't be offended."

"Hmmm! Get it! Hongu is gone. "Empress Jiang is afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will really investigate it, and she should indeed set aside time for Jin Gui'er, after all, the wound on Song Siyan's face is not so easy to hide.

Empress Jiang got on the sedan chair, and Jin Gui'er just stood in the door of the chanting hall to see her off, and Mama Wang nodded to Jin Gui'er and said, "Thank you Father-in-law Jin today." ”

Jin Gui'er immediately returned the salute and said: "Mama is polite, sharing the queen's worries is also a matter for the little slave." ”

Empress Jiang's sedan chair came out of the chanting hall, and across a door, Sihai respectfully gave a salute to Jin Guier, and Jin Guier also returned the salute with a smile, but when Empress Jiang and her party finally left, Jin Guier suddenly held on to the cloister pillar on the side, but at this time his legs began to tremble.

He stopped for a while before he reluctantly moved towards the second courtyard, and when he saw Song Siyan, Jin Gui'er immediately asked, "Lady Song, how do you feel?" ”

At this time, Song Siyan was asked by Jin Gui'er, and tears flowed down, after all, this was the first time she had been beaten when she was so old, and she was beaten so hard, she pointed to her mouth and waved her hand again, meaning that she couldn't speak.

Of course Jin Gui'er understood, and he immediately comforted: "It's okay, Miss Ling will come in in a while, and she asked me to save you." ”

Song Siyan wiped his tears with his sleeve, and spit out two words vaguely: "Your Majesty? ”

Jin Gui'er glanced out of the door, turned her head and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't want to see you, they misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mention the word Your Majesty during the whole process, your legs are fine!" ”

Jin Gui'er looked at Song Siyan who was sitting, and thought that her leg had also been beaten, Song Siyan immediately got up and signaled that her leg was fine, and at this moment, Ling Zhiqiao and Xiao Tao came in from outside.

"Sister Song, I'm here." Before Song Siyan could cry again, Ling Zhiqiao's eyes began to turn red, and her sadness made Song Siyan stop crying tears.

She was held by Ling Zhi Qiaoqiao's hands, and she could only say three words with difficulty: "I'm fine." ”

Ling Zhiqiao heard her muffled voice, her tears still didn't stop, she choked up: "If it weren't for Jin Gui'er, my sister would be more and less lucky today." ”

Song Siyan nodded, and cast a grateful look at Jin Gui'er, Jin Gui'er hurriedly said: "Lady Song, don't be grateful to me, I was forced by Miss Ling, if I don't come in, she will come in, but let's not talk about it here, if you can't kill the queen mother again, it will be all exposed." ”

Ling Zhiqiao immediately wiped her tears, squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, hurry up, Da Han and Er Han went to ask for a sedan chair, the little eunuch was outside the door, the sedan chair was in the yard, they couldn't see it, go." ”

Ling Zhiqiao pulled Song Siyan on the sedan chair, Da Han and Er Han opened the door, and the little eunuchs who carried the sedan chair asked Xiao Tao: "Dare to ask sister, where are you going?" ”

After all, Xiao Tao has been in the palace for a long time, and she is a person in the Jade Emperor's Palace, so she is very good at acting, the corners of her lips are hooked, and she smiled lightly: "Go see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Jin Gui'er frowned when she heard this, but after thinking about it, Ling Zhiqiao must have explained to Xiao Tao first, and Xiao Tao said so, so she happily followed out.

The little eunuchs who carried the sedan chair carried a sedan chair, but even if they carried it hard, they didn't dare to ask more, and when they arrived at the door of the emperor's palace, Ling Zhiqiao walked out of the sedan chair alone, and she said to Da Han, Er Han and Xiao Tao: "You are waiting for me, you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

These three people had already been told by Ling Zhiqiao to come over, so they naturally agreed, and then stayed around the sedan chair.

Ling Zhiqiao said to Jin Gui'er again: "After you go in, you don't have to talk with me, if Your Majesty asks you anything, you can answer truthfully." ”

"Gotcha! Got it. Jin Gui'er is especially willing to cooperate with Ling Zhiqiao to do things, which is much more down-to-earth than letting him stand out on his own.

When Ling Zhiqiao and Jin Gui'er were waiting outside the hall, she smiled and said, "I know that Grandpa Jin is unmatched, and this girl is deeply admired." ”

Jin Gui'er rolled her eyes and said, "Miss Ling will call me, the little slave is so frightened that she has several layers of cold sweat, and the clothes inside are soaked, but you can see it on the wall!" ”

"I see, I see, how else can I say that you are clever? doesn't mention Your Majesty at all, but you can make the Queen Mother think that Your Majesty sent you, do you know why I brought you here? Ling Zhiqiao pretended to be mysterious.

"Why?"

"Of course, it's for your father-in-law to clean up the aftermath! Just now I made sure that the Empress did not leave her eyes and ears before entering the chanting hall, but I don't know here with His Majesty the Emperor, as long as anyone sees you here, it proves that you have indeed been sent by Your Majesty, and as for the rest, leave it to me. ”

Where can Jin Gui'er be angry with Ling Zhiqiao, but it's just a joke, when she heard that Ling Zhiqiao came here so that he could have an excuse to excuse the queen mother in the future, she was full of joy.

Just as he was about to speak, the deacon and eunuch came out of the main hall, and he smiled humbly and said, "Miss Ling, Your Majesty is bored, and I am happy to hear that you are here!" Please! ”

Jin Gui'er followed behind Ling Zhiqiao and saluted to the deacon and eunuch father-in-law: "The little slave visited Father-in-law Jiang, I went out of the palace a few days ago to do business, and I heard that you like snuff, so I brought you a snuff bottle from Meng Xizhai in the suburbs of Beijing, and sent someone to send it to you another day." ”

The deacon eunuch and Ling Zhiqiao looked at Jin Gui'er with surprise on their faces at the same time, Ling Zhiqiao was surprised that she had never heard anyone call this deacon eunuch father-in-law Jiang.

And the deacon eunuch father-in-law was surprised not only that Jin Guier called him his real surname, but also about snuff, he had never used a snuff bottle in public, and such a hidden preference could also be known to him, but Jiang Gonggong was impressed by Jin Guier.

He bent his eyebrows and chuckled: "Father-in-law Jin, you are really powerful, you can even know the hobby of miscellaneous families, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into it!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao didn't allow Jin Gui'er to answer, she spoke first: "Father-in-law Jiang, Qiao'er really doesn't know her father-in-law's family name, but she is presumptuous. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Miss Ling, I've been a deacon and eunuch by the emperor's side for a long time, and I don't think so, but I don't think so, but I was called by Gonggong Jin today, but I'm still a little unused to it."

Ling Zhi Qiaocan smiled and said: "Yes, my father-in-law's surname is Jiang, but I am from the same family as the queen mother and the prime minister, so I guess my father-in-law is also evasive!" ”

She really subconsciously remembered what she said, but a trace of panic on Gonggong Jiang's face attracted the attention of Jin Gui'er and Ling Zhiqiao at the same time, only a trace and very briefly, but it did not escape the eyes of these two people.

Entering the main hall, Ling Zhiqiao and Jin Gui'er followed Gonggong Jiang towards the inner hall, the two of them were behind Gonggong Jiang, glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and then followed behind as if nothing happened.

When the emperor saw Ling Zhiqiao coming in, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Qiao'er, I am tired from watching the music, you won't come to relieve my boredom!"

Ling Zhiqiao and Jin Gui'er bowed respectively, and Ling Zhiqiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Qiao'er is not here to relieve your boredom, Qiao'er just wants to ask, when will His Royal Highness come back?" ”

Jin Gui'er's heart suddenly burst, Miss Ling can always surprise him, didn't she say that she wanted to clean up the aftermath for herself? Why did he pull the second prince up, Jin Guier cautiously peeked at the emperor.

The emperor was not only not angry, but he was very happy when he saw it, he put the fold in his hand aside, and deliberately said with a straight face: "It turns out that you are here to inquire about the Second Highness, it seems that you didn't take me seriously." ”

Ling Zhiqiao didn't mean to be afraid at all, she grinned and said: "Your Majesty is indeed not in Qiao'er's eyes, nor in Qiao'er's heart, Qiao'er thinks that Your Majesty is an immortal Bodhisattva, and he needs to be high up for us to look up and worship." ”

Ha ha!

"I said that as long as Qiao'er comes, there will be life in this palace, otherwise it will be lifeless." The emperor looked very proud of Ling Zhiqiao's sycophancy.

Jin Gui'er on the side suddenly understood why he was willing to follow Ling Zhiqiao's side, and after listening to Ling Zhiqiao's words to flatter the emperor just now, he knew that first-class sycophant kung fu had to be like Miss Ling, and it was called real kung fu if he was like a cloud, and he was willing to bow down.

"Did you just come today to ask when Twilight will be back?" The Emperor asked with a smile.

Ling Zhiqiao said honestly: "It's not all, it's mainly because I miss Your Majesty, I came here to pay respect, by the way, I asked His Royal Highness if there was a reply, today Qiao Er also went to the chanting hall, ready to ask the Song female official about the things that the female emperor didn't understand in the Four Virtues Sutra, but who knew that Qiao Er would be startled when she went." ”

The emperor immediately frowned slightly, "Why? ”

"When I entered the chanting hall, I saw Sister Song fall to the ground, her face was full of blood, Qiao Er ordered someone to help her up, and after asking, she knew that she was always uneasy in her heart yesterday, so she kept praying for His Majesty's blessings, reciting the peace sutra all night, and fainted when she got out of the house in the morning."

There was a clear mildness on the emperor's face, and he asked, "How are the people?" But it was broken. ”

"Qiao'er has checked it, and it will be fine to raise it for a few days, but now she can't speak, Qiao'er just thought about letting Lady Song go to the General's Mansion to live for a few days, first, to recuperate, and secondly, Qiao'er is also close to the water, and it is convenient to discuss knowledge, but I am afraid that Lady Song will not be able to be in the chanting hall these days, and I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"What else should I do? Yes, tell Lady Song that if you come back after you are raised, her master will bless me. ”

When Ling Zhiqiao heard the emperor say this, and thought of Empress Jiang's words just now, she pondered in her heart, Sister Song's master Qingyu must not be an ordinary person.
