Yulan followed a few steps closely, came to the queen, looked at the queen with a curious face, and said, "I don't know how the queen mother came to a thief to catch a thief?

Empress Han Xueruo turned around and smiled slightly, flicked Yulan's forehead and said, "You! ”

Yulan said with an innocent face: "What's the matter?

Queen Han Xueruo shook her head, still with a kind smile on her face, and said: "You......!

Yulan shook her body with an aggrieved face, and said a little coquettishly: "Queen Mother, you hate it." The slave is stupid, if she is not stupid, how can she be the slave of the queen's mother. ”

Queen Han Xueruo walked towards the side room, turned around and tapped Yulan's forehead with her finger and said, "Just your sweet mouth, let's go! Don't get down to business, after a while, you will know how the thief in this palace shouts to catch the thief." ”

The two of them came to a side room in Jianing Palace, which is a special habitat for Yu Linglong, and the Empress Dowager Xiaojia can arrange such a room for a cat, which is enough to see the Empress Dowager's doting on Yu Linglong.

Although this is a partial house in Jianing Palace, it is not worse than the conditions for the maid slave to live, and the maid who just talked to the queen is named Jin Feng, who is the personal maid of the Empress Dowager Xiaojia, and is mainly responsible for raising jade Linglong. In addition to Jin Feng, there are two servants guarding the door of this side room.

After the queen took Yulan to the side room here, the two servants hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The slave has only seen the queen, and the queen is auspicious." ”

The queen squinted at the two slaves, waved her hand and said, "Excuse me, this palace will come to take away Yu Linglong and open the door quickly." ”

The two minions exchanged glances, and one of them gave the other a look, then shook his head. The servant nodded knowingly, came to the queen and said, "Does the queen mother have the queen mother's decree or message?"

The queen glanced at the servant coldly and said: "No, does this palace still need a decree or an edict to take away Yu Linglong? ”

Seeing this, Yulan stepped forward and said sharply: "Bold, do you dare to stop the queen?"

The two slaves hurriedly bowed their heads and said: "The slaves don't dare, but the Queen Mother has ordered that no one is allowed to take Yu Linglong without permission, unless there is a decree or an edict from the Queen Mother, and the slaves are just acting in accordance with the order, please forgive the queen."

The queen was very angry when she saw that the two slaves did not mean to open the door, and said sharply: "What a boldness, even the palace dares to stop it, I think you are tired of living, in this case, you two quickly go to Jianing Palace to ask the queen mother for instructions, the palace is tired and tired of the two." ”

The two servants didn't expect the queen to suddenly let the two of them go to Jianing Palace to ask the queen mother, the queen didn't dare to disturb them, and the two of them didn't dare to disturb the queen mother's rest if they had a few heads, so they said: "This, this ......"

Yulan walked up to the two of them with an angry face, and said menacingly: "This, this, what is this? You don't follow the order? The queen mother didn't force you to open the door, it's a grace, are you two not acting according to the order? What is the crime of resisting the order, you two don't know, right?"

As soon as the two heard this, they hurriedly knelt down in front of the queen and begged for mercy: "The slave should die, ask the queen to be gracious, ask the queen to be gracious, and the slave will open the door for the queen mother." The minion will open the door, open the door......"

The queen mother glanced at the two of them and said, "Get up! This palace will take away Yu Linglong today, and she will naturally explain to the queen mother, and you two don't have to worry about this matter implicating you." ”

After hearing this, the two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Queen Xie, Queen Mother Xie......"

Seeing this, Yulan stepped forward and said, "Don't hurry up and open the door." ”

The two of them were frightened with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their backs were already wet, neither of the Queen Mother and the Queen dared to offend, if they opened the door, maybe the Queen Mother had the Queen on top of it, and the two of them naturally had nothing to do, and the Queen Mother favored the Queen and the two of them also knew about it, if they did not open the door and offended the Queen, this move was also a disobedience.

If the queen is angry, the two of them will not be able to protect their heads, and they will think about it. After weighing which was more important, the two decided to open the door. So he hurriedly got up and opened the door and said, "Queen Mother, please go inside." ”

The queen nodded and walked into the side room, and the two servants wanted to follow the queen into the room, but were stopped by the queen: "You two don't have to enter, just stay at the door." ”

The two of them nodded knowingly and said, "The slave obeys." ”

After the queen entered the room, she waved her hand to signal Yulan to close the door, Yulan nodded knowingly, closed the door, and came to the queen and said, "Queen Mother, how can we shout to catch the thief and steal Yu Linglong?"

The queen smiled slightly: "I will call Yu Linglong out in a while, you hide Yu Linglong in your cuffs, and the palace will naturally steal Yu Linglong." Just do what the palace wants?"

Yulan nodded to say that she understood, but she was still worried about something, although it was not difficult to hide Yu Linglong in her cuffs, but if Yu Linglong was disobedient, she would scream. When the slave found out about this, she showed a flaw, so she asked worriedly: "What should I do if Niang Niang is found to be exquisite?"

The queen is not worried about this, Yu Linglong has always been well-behaved, so she is deeply liked by the Empress Dowager Xiaojia, hiding it in the cuff and not being discovered. Moreover, the queen had already made a full plan. ”

So he smiled slightly and said: "Yulan doesn't have to worry, after you hide Yu Linglong in your cuffs for a while, you need to cooperate with the palace to perform a play." ”

After that, the queen whispered a few words in Yulan's ear, and Yulan nodded clearly and said, "The slave has written it down." ”

After everything was arranged, the queen called a few times in the room: "Linglong, Linglong." After a while, there was a cry of Jade Linglong, and the queen searched for it, and found its trace in the corner of the room, and it was staring at the queen "meowing".

The queen squatted down, waved her hand and whispered: "Linglong, come to the palace, come here, come ......"

Yu Linglong shouted as she walked towards the queen Han Xueruo, the queen saw this and picked up Yu Linglong excitedly, gently stroked its head, and Yu Linglong rubbed around in the queen's arms very well-behaved.

Because the queen often goes to the palace of the Empress Dowager Xiaojia, Yu Linglong is no stranger to seeing the queen, and she is very close. After picking up Yu Linglong, the queen stroked its head for a while and handed it to Yulan, who put Yu Linglong into her cuffs.

The queen stood on Yulan's side, looked at it for a while, and after feeling that there was no problem, she suddenly shouted in the room in shock: "Oh no, no, Yu Linglong is gone." ”

Hearing the queen's shout, the two servants hurried into the room and said, "What's the matter? What's going on?

The queen said anxiously: "The palace searched the entire room, but did not find Yu Linglong, and the palace suspects that Yu Linglong has been stolen." The two of you quickly help Hongu find it together. ”

The two servants only cared about the queen yelling in shock, and the attention of the two of them was completely attracted by the queen, and they didn't care about Yulan who was standing on the side, and the queen saw that this plan had been accomplished, and hurriedly gave Yulan a look.

Yulan nodded knowingly, and hurriedly said, "Yu Linglong won't run out, right? ”

Without waiting for the two servants to react, Yulan turned around and left the side room, and then gently closed the door. The queen didn't give them a chance to look back at Yulan at all, and hurriedly said with an anxious face: "Why are you two still stunned, look for it......!

Only then did the two slaves come back to their senses and said, "Okay, let's help find it together!"

The queen pretended to be anxious and searched for Jade Linglong in the room, and kept calling its name: "Linglong, Linglong......"

The two slaves also kept calling Yu Linglong's name, and the three of them searched all over the corners of the room but found no trace of Yu Linglong, and the two slaves were anxious.

If Yu Linglong is lost, they will not escape responsibility. The more they searched, the more they were afraid, if Yu Linglong was really lost, their heads would probably be lost, and even if the queen mother did not cut off their heads, the punishment for them would be daunting.

The two of them hurriedly circled around the room, not knowing what to do, but muttered worriedly: "This, this, how should this be good?

The queen was secretly laughing on the side, her goal had been achieved, the matter had been accomplished, she was too lazy to care about how they dealt with this matter, and the queen also knew that they were not strictly guarded, causing negligence. caused the loss of Yu Linglong, and the Queen Mother would definitely punish them severely after learning about it, and it would not be enough to kill them.

The queen mother recites scriptures and sends Buddha in the ancestral hall every day, and is deeply educated by Buddhism, even if she is severely punished, she will not have the idea of killing, which the queen is not worried about, so she pretended to have something to do and said: "What should I do, you two don't need to teach you in this palace, presumably you also know how to do it, since Yu Linglong is not here, this palace will go back to the palace first." ”

After saying that, the queen turned around and left the side room of Jianing Palace, and the two servants hurriedly saluted: "The slave sends the queen." ”

After the queen walked to the door, she turned around and glanced at the two of them, then waved her cuffs, and strode out of the room, with a smug smile on her face, Yu Linglong's loss had nothing to do with her, the queen wanted to take Yu Linglong away to catch a few mice for her, but she had lost Yu Linglong on the surface before she came.

The queen easily stole Yu Linglong, and was not suspected by others, after returning to Qingning Palace, the queen ordered someone to hide Yu Linglong, and sure enough.

The Queen Mother was very anxious when she learned of the loss of Yu Linglong. He was even more annoyed that the two guards had lost Yu Linglong due to their dereliction of duty, and although they did not kill the two slaves, they were also punished by each of them with fifty boards. as a sign of punishment.

The Queen Mother then immediately sent someone to search the harem, and after Concubine Xiao learned about it, she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she was wandering left and right in the main hall of Ningxia Palace at this time. Looking very nervous, the Queen Mother suddenly lost the jade cat and began to search the harem.

She knew very well that the Empress Dowager's people would soon search Ningxia Palace, and at that time, Zhu Shenchu would not be able to explain it. I planned to hand over Zhu Shenchu to the queen in a few days, but I never thought that this would happen suddenly in the palace.

So she had to prepare to send Zhu Shenchu to Qingning Palace in advance to let the queen fall, and Zhu Shenchu had already taken the soulless dispersal she had prepared for her, and it was impossible for Zhu Shenchu to confess Concubine Xiao, so she was not worried about when to hand him over to the queen.

It's just that she didn't know why the queen mother's jade cat was suddenly lost, this matter is indeed a little strange, Concubine Xiao thought to herself while wandering: "Could it be that this matter was done by the queen?"

She thought about it, this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with Zhu Shenchu, after all, the queen mother searched for the jade cat, not Zhu Shenchu. As she wandered, she muttered to herself, "Is this a pure coincidence?"

Then Concubine Xiao shook her head again: "No, this matter is by no means as simple as she thought, could it be that the queen stole Yu Linglong, and used this matter to search for the jade cat and secretly to search for Zhu Shenchu?"

Concubine Xiao repeatedly asked herself rhetorically, if this was the case, Concubine Xiao was really a little nervous. The opponent is getting more and more difficult to deal with, which is not a good thing for Concubine Xiao, and she also knows that if this is the case, the queen will never be able to think of this way.

There is no one else who can give the queen ideas except Concubine Hua, so Concubine Xiao has murderous thoughts in her heart again, and she wants to pull out this think tank around the queen as soon as possible, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to herself in the future.

Taking advantage of the fact that she has won the trust of the queen as Concubine Xiao, it is convenient to find an opportunity to get rid of Concubine Hua, and now this fake Concubine Xiao has gradually strengthened the idea of getting rid of Concubine Hua as soon as possible in her heart. Therefore, before Concubine Hua waited for the day when the platform was built, she faced the fleeting danger of her life in advance.
