Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 488 Sister Xia, come out!
Zhou Cairen responded in a low voice: "Yes, I understand."

Xia Baozheng comforted her a few more words.

That's all, it's useless to mention anything. Wherever the queen mother's status is, they will definitely flock to her.

Only if the Queen Mother falls, can the harem be peaceful.

I wonder when the emperor will be able to overthrow the queen mother.

After the two of them left the dressing room, the nun beside the Queen Mother came over and asked Zhou Cairen if he had obtained the holy water. The Queen Mother was waiting to use it.

Zhou Cairen said in fear: "It's still there. I haven't gotten it yet. I'll get it right away."

The nanny didn't ask any more questions and said politely: "Old slave, go and report back to the Queen Mother."

Then he resigned.

It's not like he's here to chase holy water, but more like he's here to see how Zhou Cairen is doing.

Zhou Cairen did not dare to go against the Queen Mother's wishes and wanted to get the holy water, but when he remembered that Prince Nan'an was lying unconscious beside the holy water, his face turned pale with fright.

Seeing that she was scared, Xia Baozheng said in a low voice, "I'll go with you. Let's go."

Zhou Cairen was so grateful that he didn't know what to do and choked up his thanks.

Xia Baozheng had already ordered the secret guards to quietly throw Prince Nan'an to the back mountain. The two came back and successfully obtained the holy water.

When Zhou Cairen saw that Prince Nan'an was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time felt uneasy.

He said in a low voice: "Prince Nan'an won't remember me, right?"

Xia Baozheng reassured: "Don't worry, he won't remember."

Zhou Cairen nodded and suppressed his uneasiness.

The two of them went to see the Queen Mother holding holy water.

The Queen Mother stopped chanting and was making tea in the Zen room. She saw the two people coming in and said with a smile: "Why did it take so long to get this holy water? If you don't come back, the Ai family will send people to find it."

As he spoke, he seemed to have just seen Xia Baozheng, and said in surprise: "Why is Xia Jieyu here too? Are the azaleas in the back mountain not beautiful?"

All the concubines went to the back mountain to see the azaleas.

Xia Baozheng smiled lightly and said: "Looking at the azaleas is more important than performing filial piety in front of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled kindly: "You child, you are really thoughtful."

Then he looked at Zhou Cairen and said: "Bring the holy water, the Ai family will make tea for you to drink."

"Yes." Zhou Cairen agreed and respectfully brought the holy water over.

The Queen Mother then started making tea with holy water.

The posture is elegant and the movements are smooth, which is actually quite impressive.

After a while, the fragrance of tea lingered.

The Queen Mother poured a cup for each of them and motioned for them to drink tea.

The two of them knelt on the futon, held up the tea, and took a slow sip.

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Xia Baozheng smiled lightly and said, "The Queen Mother is so skillful that this tea has an endless aftertaste."

Zhou Cairen took a low sip and said, "The tea prepared by the Queen Mother herself is of course very good."

The Queen Mother said again: "A master will come here soon to lecture the Ai family. You should also listen."

Zhou Cairen responded quickly.

Xia Baozheng didn't want to listen to the scriptures and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the master had already walked in holding the scriptures.

Xia Baozheng could only suppress her impatience and sit down to listen to the sutra.

Well, after listening for a while, I actually felt that the master's lecture was good, so I kept listening.

Until Concubine De came looking for her.

Concubine De wants to come in to find Xia Baozheng.

The nun outside stopped her and said politely: "The Queen Mother is listening to the scriptures inside. You are not allowed to come in without being summoned."

Concubine De glanced at this nanny coldly, and wanted to twist her head.

Grandma almost trembled at her cold look.

The momentum of this general tiger girl is indeed unmatched by other girls.

While her heart was trembling, Concubine De suddenly became angry and shouted: "Sister Xia, come out!"

Xia Baozheng, who was listening to the sutra in ecstasy: "..."

His heart trembled with shock.
