Chapter 828
The palace maid said: "It's not too late, and we will move in together with the Queen Mother. By this time, I'm afraid that the hall will have been transformed into another Cining Palace."

Concubine Hui...

It snowed heavily all night, and even though a palace official was sweeping the bluestones in the palace with a broom as tall as a person, they couldn't stop the snowflakes as big as feathers from falling.

Even if Concubine Hui wanted to speed up her pace, she couldn't bear the slippery snowy weather. It only took her just one stick of incense on a normal day, but today she had to walk twice as long.

When Concubine Hui arrived, all the maids in the courtyard were busy with their work silently and in an orderly manner. She glanced at the side hall where Gu Yuqing lived, Concubine Hui raised her feet and went straight to the main hall of the Queen Mother.

At the entrance of the palace, a maidservant immediately knelt down and saluted, opened the curtain, and welcomed her in.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, Concubine Hui was stunned.

Last night, she spent nearly two hours tidying up the main hall, but the Queen Mother, who moved in shortly after, arranged it into a realm she didn't recognize... It was grand and elegant, yet elegant.

This is true elegance.

Compared with the Queen Mother's handiwork, Concubine Hui felt ashamed and clicked her tongue in her heart. She was walking toward the inner room when she suddenly heard a low sigh and cry coming from the room. Concubine Hui's steps were suddenly halted. I was shocked to realize that there was no maid serving in the outer room.

That crying voice was clearly the Queen Mother.

It was such a fine morning, why did the Queen Mother cry so sadly? Could it be Gu Yuqing... Thinking of this, Concubine Hui's heart twitched sharply.

She was about to step forward when she heard a voice coming from inside, "The emperor adopted Ke'er under your name, Gusu. Although this child is not of your Gusu bloodline, after all, from now on, there will be another Gusu child in the world." It’s a last name.”

"A few years ago, I wanted the emperor to adopt a child for you, but I didn't dare to say it. I was afraid. I was afraid that if I said it..." The Queen Mother's murmuring voice suddenly dropped to a low voice. Concubine Hui mumbled something, but Concubine Hui couldn't really hear it.

After mumbling a few words, she raised her voice again and said: "You know, the emperor is always suspicious, I dare not! I am his queen mother, but...you know the pain in my heart, When you left that day, all I could think about was going with you, and you weren’t here, so what’s the point of living for me!”

Concubine Hui, who was standing outside the house, suddenly felt struck by lightning.

"I could get through it at that time because I knew that Yan'er was still there, but later... Yan'er was gone too. It was my second son who killed her..."

The Queen Mother's voice was full of regional sorrow, which made people's hearts sink.

Concubine Hui's whole body was trembling, her legs and feet were weak, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Under her limbs, the blood all over her body seemed to be boiling.

day!
Queen Mother...

The voices inside were still whispering and murmuring. Concubine Hui stood there, as if she was being stabbed by a needle. She couldn't hear a word of these shocking words... But the Queen Mother's voice could not hear a single word. The words fell into her ears and hit her chest.

His feet felt like they were nailed to the ground by iron pincers, unable to move forward or backward.

Accompanied by the heartbroken whispers of the Queen Mother in the back room, Concubine Hui finally took a breath from the thunder and tried desperately to calm down. In this situation, it was already too late to turn around and exit.

Taking a few deep breaths, her trembling body finally stabilized her mind. Concubine Hui gently lifted her foot and moved to the door, panting heavily while rubbing her chest, as if she had just entered the door, "Why did you move here so early?" I'm going to catch my concubine by surprise."

While talking, Concubine Hui smiled appropriately, lifted her skirt and raised her feet, and walked towards the back room where the Queen Mother was.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a panicked rustling sound coming from the back room.

Concubine Hui's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly said: "It is your handiwork after all, but it is nothing compared to what I arranged yesterday..."

From the door of the outer room to the door of the inner room, it was already a few strenuous steps. No matter how much Concubine Hui delayed, she was already standing at the door before she finished speaking.

The bright emerald bead curtain floats, and the sunlight shines through the large bright paper window in the back room and shines on the beaded door curtain. The light and shadow float, giving off a radiant luster.

There was no maid to open the curtain, so Concubine Hui had no choice but to lift up her bare hands, exposing half of her arm, and push aside the beaded curtain.

His eyes fell upon the red eyes of the Queen Mother.

Concubine Hui's heart was already tense, and she couldn't even breathe. But now that the situation was over, she could only go in pretending not to know what to do.

Except for the queen, concubines are not qualified to call the queen mother.

Concubine Hui entered the door and looked at the Queen Mother's face. She suddenly turned pale and stepped forward, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that Ah Qing's injury has relapsed?" The silk handkerchief in her hand couldn't help but twist to her chest.

Her face was so pale that there was no blood at all, but it was covered up at this moment. She was filled with shock, and she found some decent explanation because of this sentence.

Despite her red and swollen eyelids, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hui as calmly as the blue lake on a midsummer night, without a single ripple, and even with a faint smile, gentle and calm.

"Ah Qing is fine. Lu Junyi's medical skills are first-rate, and there are so many imperial doctors guarding her. Don't scare yourself. The Ai family is old, and they can't stand being scared by you." The Queen Mother laughed angrily. He glared at Concubine Hui.

"The Ai family heard that the emperor was going to adopt Ke'er into the lineage of the old general in Gusu. They couldn't help but shed a few tears, and you happened to see it. Although Ke'er is not usually close to the Ai family, after all, he was watching him He has grown up so well, but without any signs, the emperor is going to depose him as a prince and adopt him under someone else's name. How can the Ai family be willing to do so?"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother looked like she was wiping away tears.

But the voice is still a ten thousandth of the sorrow that it was just now.

In the heart of Concubine Hui, she couldn't help sighing that the Queen Mother was so scheming that she could contain such intense emotions so well.

Since the Queen Mother said this, Concubine Hui naturally wanted to cooperate. She immediately looked guilty and knelt down, "The Queen Mother forgives me. Although I am not absolutely sure, your Majesty's will probably originated from me."

The Queen Mother was sitting on the bed, her clenched fists suddenly trembled, and her eyes that were finally calm felt as if a violent storm had hit her, "You?"

Concubine Hui did not dare to raise her head. She just lowered her eyes and told the Queen Mother again about the "dream" she told the emperor last night, "...perhaps it was because of my concubine's absurd dream that your Majesty wanted to comfort the soul of the old General Gusu in heaven. in this way."

Concubine Hui lowered her head to speak, but she didn't know that the moment she mentioned her dream, the Queen Mother lost consciousness and turned pale.
