When Cheng Muqing returned to the palace, it was already dark.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the moon comes out earlier, and even the nights are colder than usual.

Inside the Hall of Fengyi, there were a number of maids standing outside the hall, dressed in uniforms, with their heads bowed, looking respectful.

"I really don't like this feeling." Before entering the hall, Cheng Muqing began to sigh.

"Your Majesty, you will get used to it sooner or later." Looking at the majestic palace, Jinxi couldn't help but say.

Yes, sooner or later you have to get used to it.Cheng Muqing smiled and straightened his back.

"The Empress!"

Before entering the hall, Cheng Muqing heard someone calling himself behind him.She paused slightly, put her hands in front of her belly, and turned around slowly.Jibu made a rhythmic crisp sound because of her movements.

"Eunuch Li." Cheng Muqing nodded.

"The servant has met the queen empress, and the empress is blessed and safe." Li Lan bowed and saluted.He has a thin body and a very fair complexion. At first glance, he looks like a delicate and beautiful woman.

What did he want me for?Cheng Muqing slandered in his heart, but did not ask easily.

"Just now, the slave passed by the back garden and heard that the crown princess came to see the empress to reminisce about the old days. The relationship between the empress and the crown princess is really good." Li Lanyi said slowly.

"After all, handkerchiefs are handed over, so the relationship is naturally better." Cheng Muqing returned with a smile.

"It's getting late, the empress should go to bed early." Li Lan bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Cheng Muqing's eyes flickered slightly, but there was a slight smile on his face.

As soon as Li Lan disappeared from sight, Jinxi couldn't help muttering, "Is Li's palm print looking for something?"

Cheng Muqing was not in a hurry to affirm her words.

Li Lan has nothing to say for a while?He specifically mentioned Tao Yushan, there is still time...

"Has the princess been here?" Cheng Muqing looked at the maid standing beside her.

The maid lowered her head, "Go back to your mother, come here."

"People are waiting in the hall?"

The maid paused and said, "Go back to your mother, I just left."

"Let's go?" Cheng Muqing's bright apricot eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on her face, "Raise your head."

The maid raised her head cautiously.

"Look at me."

"The slaves dare not."

Cheng Muqing walked in front of her, probably because his steps were a bit fast, but the palace maid actually shivered.

"Whoever you are, I don't care." Cheng Muqing gently picked her chin, forcing her to look up, "You just need to tell me where the princess is."

The maid pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Tonight, go to the palm print and ask, if the maid in this palace commits the crime of being the master who has expired, how should I deal with it?"

"You don't need to look for palm prints for this one." Jin Xi laughed, "Your maidservant will know, if it's as light as twenty sticks, send them out of the palace.

Cheng Muqing turned his eyes back to the face of the maid in front of him, she didn't speak, but just smiled.

After all, the maid was still young, she panicked when she heard the words, her body was trembling.

"Who are you helping to hide from me?" Cheng Muqing let go of her and looked at the palace ladies.

The maids didn't say a word, their mouths seemed to be sewn shut.

"Okay." Cheng Muqing smiled coldly, "Everyone is not talking?"

In the harem, being able to take Tao Yushan away can make Li Lan avoid suspicion so much that he only dares to make side attacks...

"Queen Mother." Cheng Muqing blurted out.

The maid standing beside her swayed and bumped into the door frame.

"It seems that she is really the queen mother." Seeing her appearance, Cheng Muqing was even more convinced that it was Queen Lu who called her away.Now that Lin Heng is on the throne, Empress Lu has also become Empress Dowager Lu.

But if the queen mother is real, why should these maids hide it from her?
unless……

Cheng Muqing's heart suddenly jumped, and there was almost no time to think about it, so his body reacted first.She walked very quickly, and the steps on her head shook wildly.

Yong'an Palace.

Sandalwood is burning in the palace, and cigarette smoke is floating upwards.Behind the brown-yellow curtains, sat a woman in a dark brown double-breasted cloak with light yellow clothes inside.

"My son and my mother pay their respects." Tao Yushan knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

"The Ai family doesn't have a son like you." Empress Dowager Lu took a sip of tea, staring at her sharply.

Tao Yushan just knelt down and didn't speak.

"What about you and Li Lanyi? The Ai family is not interested. But you hang out with Wang Siwang day and night, which makes my son think under the nine springs!" Her voice was stern, and her eyes were wide open.

"Your minister and Siwang have nothing." Although Tao Yushan was kneeling, her back was straight.

"Nothing? Then why are there rumors about Wang occupying his sister-in-law?" Empress Dowager Lu stood up, she stared at Tao Yushan, "I know that you have a gentle temperament, and you will never do anything to offend the prince. But now, after all There are rumors, where do you want to put the face of the prince? Where do you want to put the face of the royal family?"

Tao Yushan swallowed, and stared straight at the Empress Dowager Lu, "Empress Mother, there is obviously nothing I can do..."

"Why is there no way?" Empress Dowager Lu interrupted her, "In ancient times, there was a strong girl who was bullied and smashed into the wall and died, so why is there no way?!"

The hall suddenly became quiet, and Tao Yushan froze for a moment.

The lights flickered on the candles, and from time to time the chirping of cicadas could be heard in the hall.

Tao Yushan felt chills all over her body, and she said in disbelief, "Mother, the person who was at fault in this matter is clearly Lin Wei. Why should the victim, Erchen, be responsible?"

"It's not a commitment..."

"Isn't the queen mother just wanting to kill my son?" Tao Yushan sneered.

Empress Dowager Lu stood with her hands folded, and stood in front of her, before she spoke for a long time, "I thought, after all, there is a mother-daughter relationship, but since you are so ignorant..." He raised his hand, and a maid came to Tao Yushan with a glass of wine. before.

As soon as Song Jushu was sent away with poisoned wine on the front foot, it was his turn on the back foot?Tao Yushan thought it was a little funny, she picked up the wine glass helplessly, and looked back.

It's just that the door of the hall has been closed, and what she sees will always be only one door.

Empress Dowager Lu was not in a hurry, she just put her hands together and stood in front of her.

What is she expecting?Tao Yushan laughed at herself.

When she was about to die, she actually hoped that someone would show up to save her.

"Mother." Tao Yushan took out the paper from the incense burner, "Please help me to pass it to the empress."

Empress Dowager Lu looked at the paper and took it slowly.

She didn't even look at the specific content, so she handed it to the maid on the side.

"This matter is very important, and it will affect the direction of the emperor." Tao Yushan had to say some valuable words, "If it is lost, the path of the emperor and empress will be very difficult."

After all, she didn't care whether Queen Mother Lu listened or not, she just raised her hand to take the glass of wine, and was about to drink it.

"Kang Dang—" The palace door was suddenly pushed open.

"Tao Yushan!"

Cheng Muqing's voice was unexpectedly loud, she was still wearing a black and gold phoenix robe, and the Bu Yao on her hair was already hanging to the top of her hair because of the trembling.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Tao Yushan holding a wine cup to drink.She strode forward, snatched the wine glass from Tao Yushan's hand, and threw it on the ground.

"Clap-"
