Chapter 399 The Cage
The old mother couldn't answer the queen mother's question.

To say it was a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.

If it wasn't a coincidence, how could a teenage girl see that something was wrong with the queen?It was able to act just when the queen was ill, and attracted the attention of the noble concubine and the prince.

"Your maidservant can't see through it." The old mama shook her head, "Fortunately, Taoist Xuanwei blocked it, otherwise I'm afraid the clues will be revealed."

When the Queen got sick, it could be anytime and anywhere, and no one could say anything bad. Speaking of it, it was really thrilling at that time.

"That's right, just after returning to the carriage, the Empress fell ill." The Empress Dowager sighed, a little more depressed than in the Xuanqing Temple.

The old mother comforted her and said, "If you want my maidservant to tell you, the Empress Dowager and the Empress are as blessed as heaven, otherwise, if the Empress gets sick in front of the imperial concubine, even if Xuanwei Dao grows her head, she won't be able to cover it up."

The Empress Dowager took a deep look at the old mama, she seemed to be muttering to herself, and she seemed to be telling her: "My family is thinking, maybe even the Queen's delayed onset at that time was not a coincidence."

The old mother was shocked: "The empress dowager means that the empress did not have the disease at that time, and it was related to Xuanwei Daoist?"

Having been in the palace for decades, the old nanny, who had already cultivated calm and shrewdly, had a look of disbelief: "But Taoist Master Xuanwei didn't do anything."

"No, she did." The Empress Dowager leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, narrowed her eyes and recalled the situation at that time.

After the queen screamed, she patted the queen on the shoulder.

"That's the case, then, it's impossible for the queen to delay the onset?" The old mother had a hard time accepting such a bizarre thing.

Crazy and stupid people cannot be treated with common sense, and often the disease will stop when it does not develop, and once the disease occurs, it will become more and more severe, and it will be difficult to end.How can anyone stop the onset with a quick slap?
The old mother shook her head repeatedly, while the queen mother let out a long sigh, and said in a distressed tone, "Xuanwei Daoist is a disciple of the national teacher. What is impossible for those gods and immortals?"

Speaking of this, his tone became low: "Even so, the national teacher said that the queen's illness cannot be cured."

The corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes were already wet, and the old mother comforted: "Empress Dowager, don't feel bad, everyone has his own destiny, even a god is not omnipotent."

At that time, she was not the one who followed the queen mother to see the national teacher, and the old mother did not know the specific situation of the queen mother after seeing the national teacher.

The Empress Dowager didn't want to say more, she just murmured: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine, what does the national teacher mean by this? The emperor and the empress are already in such a situation, is it possible that the emperor should apologize to the empress himself?"

Just thinking about it, the Empress Dowager knew that this was absolutely impossible. Even if she believed in the Empress when something like that happened back then, how could the majestic Son of Heaven believe it with all the evidence?
If counted according to the crimes committed by the queen at that time, it is the emperor's mercy to keep her status as a queen and confine her in the Guanju Palace.

Empress, do you want the emperor's trust and apology?Otherwise, there is no cure for the medicine stone, and the heart disease is difficult to cure?
"The queen mother?"

The queen mother regained her senses and waved her hand: "Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Mother Qiao, take out some jewelry that the Ai family wore in the early years, and send someone to Xuanqing Temple, and say that the Ai family rewarded Xuan Weidao Long, thank her for her hospitality."

"Yes." Mother Qiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then...do you want this old slave to take the opportunity to test it out and see if Daoist Xuanwei sees anything?"

The queen mother shook her head: "No need, that child is very wise and foolish, even if he sees something, he won't say it indiscriminately. If it is purely a coincidence, the Ai family will accept her."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother frowned: "By the way, is Taoist Priest Xuanwei the daughter of Han Mingzhu from the Duke of Wei?"

"Exactly."

The Empress Dowager looked even more desolate: "Back then, the Empress and Han Mingzhu had a good relationship, and the Ai family also liked Han Mingzhu's straightforwardness and simplicity. They even joked that if they had children separately in the future, they would form a family and it would be worthwhile. It's good. I didn't expect that after so many years, the youngest daughter of the Han family has grown up, but the queen..."

The light in the dormitory gradually dimmed, just like the empress dowager who has calmed down, although she still looks graceful, she has long since lost the vigor of her prime.

In Huairenbo Mansion, Mrs. Meng was no longer angry, but her temper became more and more serious. She casually threw a tea gu at Aunt Dong's body.

Aunt Dong didn't dare to hide, the tea gu hit her forehead, blood flowed immediately.

"The old lady calm down, it's because the daughter-in-law is not considerate. The daughter-in-law will send someone to find Tong'er." Aunt Dong didn't dare to press the wound with a handkerchief, and immediately knelt down to make amends.

Mrs. Meng pressed her fingers on her throbbing temples, her face was gloomy: "Mr. Dong, tell me, didn't Tong'er go out to buy rouge? She is such a nice person, why did she disappear?"

Aunt Dong was left speechless by the question, she couldn't even feel the pain from the wound on her forehead.

Mrs. Meng became more and more annoyed: "I said it a long time ago, it was the time to choose the crown prince for the crown prince, and there was nothing wrong with this speech. You just let Tong'er go out alone. It's all right now, people Where?"

Mrs. Meng sneered, and stared at Aunt Dong like a poisonous snake: "Dong, I can warn you, if something happens to Tong'er, you should think about the consequences."

Aunt Dong's face was pale, with the blood streaming down to wash away the makeup, she looked like a ghost, she lowered her head and said: "Daughter-in-law understands, daughter-in-law, please call more people to find Tong'er."

After leaving the Nian Song Hall, Aunt Dong leaned against the wall in a state of exhaustion, and murmured: "Tong'er, where are you? Do you know that your mother's wealth, life, and even the future of your brothers are tied to you. "

Cheng Tong, who made Huairenbo's mansion so desperate to find her, has been hiding outside Xie's mansion for a long time.

Finally, she waited for that figure.

From the back view, the man looks a bit like the second brother, but she can tell the difference at a glance.

Cheng Tong couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his foot and took a step forward, then quickly retracted, grasping the corner of the wall with both hands, staring intently.

The man walked calmly, came from the outside and walked towards the door, until his back completely disappeared, Cheng Tong still did not take a step forward.

Now, she doesn't even have that little relationship with him, so what reason does she have to appear in front of him.

What's more, her appearance like this will only make him look down on her.

Cheng Tong stared at the door for a long time, then turned and left resolutely.

The girl described walking on the street alone, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The sky is big and the earth is big, how many people can get out of the cage?

She envied Cheng Wei in Xuanqing Temple, her heart ached from envy, when suddenly she heard a commotion, like a frightened bird, she hurriedly hid.

Several servants passed by, not wearing the clothes of Huairenbo's servants, Cheng Tong still recognized one or two familiar faces.

I heard one of the servants whispering: "Maybe the fourth girl is going out to play late, so why are you mobilizing people like this?"

Another person said: "What do you know, can the second wife not be in a hurry, if the fourth girl can't be found, she's afraid...hehe."

Cheng Tong stood on the corner of the street for a long time, and finally walked towards Huairenbo Mansion silently with heavy steps.
