"Aren't you worried that this agreement will be detrimental to us?" Nalan Ying asked him with a glance.

"You, you just think too much. If the matter can be resolved satisfactorily, don't think about anything else!" Feng Yanli held her slightly cold face and helped her tie up the collar of her clothes so that it could be covered. cool breeze.

"I always feel that something is wrong!" Nalan Ying said hesitantly.

"There's nothing wrong with it, you may be too tired, go back and rest with me, and talk about everything when you wake up!" Feng Yanli touched her nose affectionately and said.

"En!" Nalan Ying responded, followed behind him, and returned to Zhaohua Hall.

After going back, Qiuyue waited on Nalan Ying to take a warm hot bath, which drove away a little bit of cold air on her body, and she hid in the big bathtub with a lazy expression.

"Mother, I heard that the condensed incense was not found!" Qiuyue took a ladle in her hand and gently poured warm water on her clean back, whispering.

"Really?" Nalan Ying lazily spilled these two words from the depths of her throat.

"That's right, there were quite a few people sent out, but after searching all over the city, they couldn't find them!" Qiuyue said.

"What did Leng Biao say?" Nalan Ying asked casually.

"What can he say? Of course he's also crazy. The most bizarre thing is that the chief guard of his Leng Mansion also disappeared together!" Qiuyue whispered.

"Disappeared together?" A smile flashed in Nalan Ying's eyes, thinking with her toes, the two also eloped.

"Qiuyue, have you gone to see Xiao Que'er? Is she still in the imperial dining room?" Nalan Ying suddenly remembered something and asked Qiuyue.

"Well, here, when the maidservant was leaving, I heard that the meal was delivered to the Empress Dowager, and the maidservant came back before waiting for her!" Qiuyue replied casually.

"Empress Dowager?" Nalanying's face darkened, she woke up suddenly, reached out and took the clothes hanging outside, covered her body, and said to Qiuyue anxiously, "Quick, quick, wait for me to get dressed, Go to Showa Hall!"

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Qiuyue asked worriedly while helping her get dressed.

"Little Que'er may be in danger!" Nalan Ying said quickly.

"What does she know?" Qiuyue asked puzzled.

"Don't ask so many questions, let's go quickly, and I will tell you in detail when I come back!" Nalan Ying put on her clothes, and hurriedly took Qiulan to Zhaohua Hall.

Xiao Que'er was called to the Zhaohua Palace at night. She was about to go back to where she lived, but when she saw Zhu'er, the maid beside the Empress Dowager, approaching, she originally wanted to avoid it. , but was stopped by Pearl on the road.

"Sister Zhu'er, do you have any orders so late?" Xiao Que'er nervously held her hand and said.

"Little Que'er, come with me to Zhaohua Hall?" Zhu'er said with a smile.

Although Zhu'er smiled so peacefully, Xiao Que'er felt chills running down her spine. She didn't know that she was just a meager little maid, what could the Empress Dowager do for herself?The only thing that can be thought of is the fact that Concubine Ying brought her into the imperial dining room today.

Little Que'er didn't dare to object, so she followed Zhu'er and walked towards Zhaohua Palace, looking at Zhu'er's back along the way, she was very scared.

As soon as she entered the Zhaohua Palace, Zhu Er felt an eerie feeling surrounding her. She hugged her shoulders subconsciously, and saw the wisteria standing beside Li Shi coldly. look at her.

"My servant has seen the Empress Dowager!" Xiao Que'er knelt on the ground and said.

"You raise your head!" The Empress Dowager said majesticly.

"Yes!" Xiao Que'er answered, then slowly raised her head, looking at the Empress Dowager with a pair of timid eyes.

"What's your name?" The Empress Dowager looked at her coldly.

"The slave is called Xiao Que'er!" Xiao Que'er replied in a low voice.

"How many years have you been in the palace?" The Empress Dowager asked again.

"Three years!" Xiao Que'er said.

"Three years is not long, nor is it short, she looks like a shrewd little girl!" The Empress Dowager nodded at Xiao Que'er.

Xiao Que'er didn't answer, just knelt down with her head bowed, with a submissive expression.

"The empress dowager, she followed the concubine Ying into the imperial dining room and stayed there for a long time before she came out!" Wisteria interjected from the side.

"What did you and Concubine Ying talk about in the imperial dining room? Tell Aijia exactly!" The Empress Dowager shouted coldly.

Xiao Que'er was so frightened that she shuddered all over, knelt on the ground and said: "The servant girl will tell the concubine Ying who took the food box first, and then who. The concubine Ying will demonstrate it in person!"

"Really?" The Empress Dowager looked at her suspiciously.

"Slaves dare not lie to the Empress Dowager!" Xiao Que'er replied anxiously.

"You're lying, if it's really that simple, why didn't you come out after a long time inside? The servant girl estimated the time, and she was inside for a full hour!" Wisteria said with a frown.

"Diao Nu, tell me quickly, what shameful thing did you say?" Li Shi said angrily, patting the table.

"The servant really didn't say anything, really didn't say anything!" Xiao Que'er was so frightened that she cried and denied.

"Such a young girl is so stubborn, why don't you give her some color!" Wisteria said through gnashing of teeth.

"Alright, if you don't punish her, I'm afraid you won't get the truth, Pearl, go get the charcoal basin!" The Empress Dowager said coldly.

"Yes!" Zhu'er replied, and walked out.

"The Empress Dowager, please forgive me, everything the servant said is true, please the Empress Dowager trust the servant?" The little Yu'er knelt down and begged.

"Are you telling the truth? I am as clear as a mirror in my heart. I am not in a hurry. I will wait until you figure it out!" The Empress Dowager gave her a cold look, and turned her face away in disdain up.

"Damn girl, as long as you don't tell the truth, you will be tortured!" Li looked at her resentfully and said.

"No maidservant, no maidservant!" Xiao Que'er seemed to be frightened, and just kept repeating this sentence.

Zhu'er quickly came over with a charcoal basin, which was filled with burning red charcoal, and the scalding heat rushed towards her face, immediately raising the temperature of the whole room by several degrees, and Xiao Que'er was even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat .

"Little Que'er, if what you said is true, use your own hands to grab the coals in the charcoal basin to prove your determination!" The Empress Dowager shouted coldly.

"If you don't dare to catch it, it will prove that what you said is false!" The Empress Dowager added.

"Empress Dowager, this servant really doesn't know anything!" Xiao Que'er was so frightened that her face turned ashen, and she shook her head desperately.
