There are many imperial palaces in Mingyouguo, and the queen mother is also a big deal, and she actually gave Fang Du and others a temporary residence near her Ci'an Palace, which was originally a Qiushui Hall for concubines to live in. When Fang Du came back, he saw dozens of maids standing inside and outside the hall, each covering their faces, and they couldn't see their true faces.

"You're back, this, this!" Zhan Xingran grabbed him as soon as he saw Fang Dui, and at first glance his hands, the wrinkles of sorrow were about to come out. Fang Du asked, "What's the matter, they didn't serve well?" Zhan Xingran shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no, hey, it's better for you to see for yourself!"

Sima Lu saw that the plate of grapes on the table was crystal clear and very delicious, and he wanted to eat one, so he stretched out his hand, and immediately a maid beside him held a crystal cup containing grapes, knelt on the ground, and another palace maid came over, carefully peeled off the skin of the grapes, put it on a gold plate, and held it to Sima Lu.

Rao is the richest man in Yixi City, from a big family, Sima Lu has never seen such a pie, only ate one, and he was not interested at all, and he didn't want to eat it anymore.

"Did you see that? When we got here, we moved our hands, and immediately someone came up and did it for us. Zhan Xingran said with a bitter face, "If it goes on like this, it will take a lot of effort." Fang Dusk, you have a good talk with them, we don't need anyone to serve here, let them go out first!"

Before the words fell, the maids in the hall knelt on the ground, all trembling and panicking. Fang Du hurriedly asked them to get up, and one of the maids boldly said, "The general spares his life! The queen mother ordered the slaves and maids to come and serve, if the service is not good, the generals and nobles will punish them, and don't drive the slaves and maids out!"

"Did the Queen Mother ask you to come?" Fang Duan had already expected this. The maid nodded, "Yes, the queen mother is strict, if the slaves and maids do not do well, or do it wrong, they will disfigure their appearance, and at worst, they will break their hands and tendons and throw them out to feed the dogs." General, spare your life!"

The maids kowtowed, Fang Dui's heart tightened, the "Shuangyuan" she had just seen, mournful, sad and weak, the "women" on the big ship before were full of charms, and in the mouths of these maids, the "Queen Mother" was tyrannical, which one was really her?

"This girl, I wonder if I can take off your veil?" Fang Du wanted to confirm whether she was telling the truth or a lie. The maid hesitated for a moment, then gently removed her veil.

When everyone saw it, they were shocked. Beneath the black veil was a face crisscrossed with scars, and the maid quickly put the veil on. Fang Du said, "We're not used to having people waiting in close proximity, so why don't you go and wait outside the hall, something will call you in." ”

"Yes!"

The maids said yes and withdrew. Fang Duan sat down at the table, Mo Xuanji poured him a cup of tea and said, "Who did you go to meet, how was it?" Fang Duan said, "On the big ship that day, it was the Queen Mother Shuangyuan of the Mingyou Kingdom, and I had already met her." ”

"Is that her?"

Everyone was a little surprised, Fang Du said, "She has repeatedly offered to help us restore the Nine Dragon Ding, and her purpose is to use the Nine Dragon Ding to resurrect her husband, the first emperor of the Ming You Kingdom to return to Hai Yunchen." ”

"This, isn't this nonsense?Fang Dui, you agreed?" Yun Yuan felt that this matter was not feasible, "Not to mention that it has never been possible to resurrect the dead with the Nine Dragon Ding, even if it succeeds, what good will it do us?" General Fang, Your Majesty ordered that once the Nine Dragon Ding is repaired, it will be sent to Your Majesty immediately, and there must be no mistake!"

Yun Yuan urged Fang Du seriously, and the green fire squeezed him aside, "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, why should General Yun be in a hurry to have a white face? It's just that I always feel that someone seems to be deliberately showing us a different queen mother!"

"What do you mean?" Fang Du and Green Fire glanced at each other, and Green Fire lowered his voice, "The scars on the maid's face just now are only made in the last few days, and some of them have just formed scars. Counting, we just met the queen mother on the river not long ago. After all, when this maid was scratched on the face, the Queen Mother was still on the way. If it weren't for the unforgivable mistake made by this maid, the Queen Mother had to give an order on the road and let people come back quickly to punish her, she would be lying!"

It's just an ordinary maid, if she really makes a big mistake, she can be dragged out and killed. The high-ranking queen mother doesn't need to worry about her, so it should be this maid who lies.

Compared with others, Yun Yuan has been in the palace for the longest time, and similar things have been seen. He paused and said, "So, someone is trying to scare us? Or is it deliberately smearing this queen mother!"

Mo Xuanji said, "It's not enough to scare, this kind of pediatric method really can't scare us." It's just that the Queen Mother is so young, and she wants to come to this emperor who sits in the Jinluan Palace, and she won't be too old. Orphans and widows, helpless, I'm afraid that someone has a mind that shouldn't be raised. Fang Dusk, we can't get into this troubled water!"

"You analyze it and head to the Tao, but don't forget, we are already the turtle in the urn of others in this palace wall, who listens to whom and who doesn't listen, do you have a choice?" Zhan Xingran said, "It's just that people are in the dark, we are in the light, we must be more careful! No, Xiaorong, come here, I will protect you!"

Zhan Xingran hugged Huang Xiaorong like a baby, and Huang Xiaorong, who was ashamed, was flushed and struggled to let him go. Green Huo did the same, and wanted to hug Sima Lu, but was pushed away by her palm. Fang Du said, "Since someone wants us to watch the play, let's watch it carefully, and don't open our mouths." After all, it's someone else's business!"

Breakfast, lunch, tea, snacks, and all kinds of fruits are sent in and out like flowing water. No matter what they were eating or drinking, Yun Yuan had to try it with a silver needle before letting them move. Master Rabbit gulped down the fried crispy and delicious little twist and said, "You have been in the palace for a long time, you have seen a lot of dirty things, and you are less courageous!"

Yun Yuan and Master Rabbit are familiar with each other, and they can also say a few words, "These people, even their country lord dares to poison them, let alone us? Even if we die here, bury our bodies and disappear, will Your Majesty see that we haven't gone back for a long time, will you still send troops to attack and bring our bones back to bury?"

Everyone was silent, Yun Yuan was right, they came with ulterior motives, so naturally they would not make a noise, even if they died, they would be sent to death in vain. Fang Du said, "Everyone rest assured, since the other party has spared no effort to deliver the news they want to convey to us, it means that we are still useful, and our lives can be saved for the time being." Wine and food, even if you eat and drink, it is really dangerous, even if I fight for my life, I will stand in front and escort you away!"
