The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 422 Visiting the Queen Mother
After Xuanyuan Lie left the restaurant, Situ Yan's smile gradually faded, he looked at a certain place outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Long Wei didn't dare to disturb him, so Mu Qing ate like no one else was around.He still ate with relish, as if Situ Yan, who was in deep thought, had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Situ Yan was thinking, Liu Chenyue couldn't help asking: "My lord, do you think Xuanyuan Lie's words are credible?"

Situ Yan rubbed his fingers against the white porcelain cup in his hand, his expression so calm that outsiders couldn't see what he was thinking.

He said lightly: "Half and half. Xuanyuan Lie is an unfathomable person, and the strategy of dying and rebirth is not something ordinary people have the courage to implement. Even if he has reached a desperate situation, we must guard against his plots."

A flash of understanding flashed in Liu Chenyue's eyes: "So, my lord, you know that Xuanyuanlie's personality is changeable, so you came to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in person. The purpose is to shake the mountain and let Xuanyuanlie know that we have his secrets, so that he can't hide his secrets." Dare to act rashly?"

Situ Yan nodded, his eyes were unpredictable, and Liu Chenyue couldn't see what Situ Yan was thinking.

After a long time, I heard Situ Yan say: "The most important thing right now is to find Harry. It's about the Gu poison on Longshouyuan, so it's not ambiguous. As for Xuanyuan Lie, no matter what his ultimate goal is, now we can only take one step at a time." .”

However, the place Xuanyuan Lie mentioned, he was also surprised when he thought about it.

No wonder all the power of the hidden guards was used to find out his specific location. I didn't expect Harry to live in that place.

It was unexpected, but it made sense.

After Xuanyuan Lie came out of the restaurant, he didn't go back directly to the palace, but asked someone to change into his own clothes and get in the unremarkable carriage when he came and left.He waited for the carriage to drive out for a certain distance, then changed his clothes and came out from the dark place, got on the horse, avoided the crowd, and headed somewhere in the capital.

No matter in Xiling or Eastern Zhou Dynasty, every prosperous place must be surrounded by dilapidated slums.Huansha Street is such a place. The people living here are all low-status poor people who are busy making a living every day, and their eyes are empty and numb.Xuanyuan Lie's appearance did not attract their attention.

Xuanyuan Lie seemed to be very familiar with the dilapidated alleys here. He walked eastward and westward, and soon stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

Compared with the dilapidated surroundings, this yard is much neater. The bamboo fence is covered with vines, and white fine flowers are flying in the air.A Viburnum tree was planted in the middle of the yard. When the Viburnum was in bloom, the white flowers danced in the sun and fell to the ground, making people unbearable to trample on.

The pure white flowers formed a sharp contrast with this dirty place, Xuanyuan Lie stepped on the white viburnum without hesitation, and knocked on the courtyard door.

The door knocker rang three times, and after a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and a man with the appearance of a book boy poked his head out from inside. Seeing that it was Xuanyuan Lie, he smiled. There were a pair of dimples at the corners of his mouth, which looked bright and lovely. , Said to Xuanyuan Lie: "Young master is here, sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xuanyuan Lie nodded expressionlessly, then walked inside.

The situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was turbulent, and the harem of Xiling was also uneasy.

Although Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue were executed, Situ Rui's body seemed to have collapsed because of the absurdity of that night. After dealing with the servants of Caiyue Palace, Situ Rui fell ill.

Situ Rui had good times and bad times, and his temper became more and more moody. The imperial physicians who served him were all trembling, for fear that they would hurt Situ Rui.

"Today, Eunuch Song knocked over the teacup, and was dragged out and beaten to death by the emperor's order. Eunuch Song is an old man who has been with the emperor for many years. Now the palace servants in the Qinzheng Palace are all in danger. You will end up the same as Eunuch Song." Yingxue said while pulling Qin Wange's hair.

Qin Wange put a freshly picked magnolia flower on his temples, and said with a faint smile: "Situ Rui is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and there are indispensable people around him to serve him. Those servants will die as soon as they die. You must tell the Inner Court Secretary Send the newcomer there in time."

Yingxue said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Secretary of the Inner Court has already received your Majesty's order and sent the new couple there. Now the emperor's personal servants are dying and dismissed, and now they are surrounded by people whom your Majesty sent over."

"Situ Rui is suspicious. He may not be willing to reuse the people we send over. Let Li Deshou train and train those newcomers more, so that the emperor, the emperor, the man, and the emperor must be satisfied." Qin Wange said the last word, with a deep smile on his mouth Measurement.

"Yes." Yingxue replied respectfully, and after a pause, she said to Qin Wange: "It is said that the empress has been clamoring to see the emperor, and that the whole thing was deliberately framed by the empress, so that the emperor will give it to you." She is in charge. Qifeng Palace has already been disturbed by her, and now everyone in Qifeng Palace is in danger, and no one dares to provoke her."

Qin Wange twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed mockingly: "She wants to see the emperor, but the emperor is not willing to see her either. The things she said by Situ Rui's side these years are true and false. I can't tell the difference. What's more, Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue, who were recommended by Xu Qiushui this time, used Xiaoyaosan to murder the emperor. The whole thing has nothing to do with me from the beginning to the end, so how can it depend on me?"

As he spoke, he picked up a blue cloak and put it on his body, and took a look in the mirror.

Seeing her attire, Yingxue hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going out?"

"Yes, I have something to go out of the palace, are the snacks made by A Dai ready?"

When the matter of going out of the palace was mentioned, Qin Wange suddenly seemed to be a different person, smiling like the wind.

Adai had already made the dessert, and as soon as Yingxue greeted her, she pretended to bring it over.Qin Wange put on a cloak to cover her face, told Yingxue and Rumeng a few words, and left.

It's already mid-April.

At this time, in the other courtyard of the Wangfu, peonies are blooming all over the courtyard, which is too beautiful to behold.The flowers fell all over the ground, and the petals are like a blanket, which is even more charming.Qionghua and pear blossoms are also competing for splendor, and the flowers are as white as snow falling all over the place.

At this time, in the courtyard, the queen mother was picking up fallen petals with her maid, Qin Wange brought Adai in, and Xueqin quickly took the food box from Qin Wan's singer.

Qin Wange looked at the queen mother from afar, very comforting, and said to Xueqin: "The queen mother looks much better than last year."

Xueqin welcomed Qin Wange into the room, and said with a smile: "Isn't it? With the careful treatment of the wood doctor, the Queen Mother's health is much better than before. Moreover, the Queen Mother no longer stays in the room all day long. She Now I often come out for a walk in the courtyard and talk to the maids. Speaking of which, thanks to the prince and the imperial concubine."

Xueqin was originally a personal maid by the Empress Dowager's side, and she was even more loyal to the Empress Dowager.When Situ Rui put the Queen Mother under house arrest, he transferred all the people around the Queen Mother away, and Xueqin was sent to the Clothes Bureau.

Later, after Qin Wange and Situ Yan rescued the Queen Mother, they sent Xueqin back to the Queen Mother.

Qin Wange said with a smile: "Miss Xueqin, don't say that, what I have done is nothing, the queen mother is so kind to me."

At the end, her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, Xueqin couldn't hear clearly, and just wanted to ask what she said.However, the sound of conversation here has already alarmed the queen mother who was picking up fallen flowers.

The Empress Dowager turned her head and saw that it was Qin Wange, she handed the basket to the maid beside her, she smiled and waved at Qin Wange, Qin Wange did not enter the room, and walked towards the Empress Dowager lightly.

"Good boy, why are you here today?"

Although the Empress Dowager's hair was already grey, her complexion became more ruddy and her eyes were as loving as ever.

In front of the Empress Dowager, Qin Wange was still like the child who acted like a baby at her knees, hugging the Empress Dowager's arm and said: "It's been a long time since I came to see the Empress Dowager, today I specially brought some snacks for the Empress to taste."

Said, Jiaochen said: "Could it be that the mother thinks that I come here often, disturbing the purity of the mother, then I will come here less from now on."

The queen mother couldn't help laughing: "You, after all these years, you are still so eloquent. You have a reason for everything."

Xueqin had already neatly put the dim sum brought by Qin Wange on the table, and made a pot of Longjing tea. Seeing that Qin Wange was joking with the queen mother, she was a little surprised at how familiar the two were.

Although it stands to reason, it is not surprising that the eldest princess calls the queen mother the queen mother, after all, the eldest princess is the emperor's concubine.However, although the Empress Dowager is generous, she is not someone who is easy to get close to, not to mention that the Eldest Princess has only been in Beijing for more than a year, so it is unreasonable to meet the Empress Dowager to such a degree.Judging by the intimacy of their conversation, it seems that they have known each other for many years.

Of course, although Xueqin felt strange in her heart, she was also a smart person, knowing that there were some things to ask and some things not to ask.Moreover, Miss Adai who came with Qin Wange didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, so she naturally wouldn't talk too much.

Xueqin brought the tea, heard the empress dowager and Qin Wange's teasing, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is the best at coaxing the empress dowager, the empress dowager can't wait for the empress dowager to come every day."

"The queen mother is used to teaching people. With a clever girl like Miss Xueqin by her side to relieve boredom, how can the queen mother think of me?" Qin Wange also teased.

Xueqin said hastily: "Princess, don't make fun of the servants, how dare the servants compare with the princess."

Qin Wange smiled without saying a word.

In fact, when she was Qin Wange back then, she was familiar with Xueqin, but now she has changed her body and identity, Xueqin doesn't remember, she still remembers clearly.

Several people laughed for a while, and a little maid came in with a flower basket half-filled with petals and asked, "Queen Mother, where are these petals?"

"Put the petals in the white jade basin, and pay attention to separate the different petals, and don't let the sun shine." The queen mother took a look and ordered.

The lady-in-waiting got the order and went down with the flower basket.

Xueqin and Adai put their things away and left, leaving space for the two to catch up on the old days.

After they went out, Qin Wange asked a little puzzled, "What is the mother doing picking up those petals?"
