Chapter 33 Collapse
In front of Funing Palace, the sun is shining brightly.

She was dressed in plain clothes, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she stood alone.A pair of cold eyes, like cold glazed jade, swept across her body.

"It's actually you!"

Wei Ruxue's heart trembled, and she asked, "Didn't you say you were going to leave the capital and never appear in front of my eyes again?"

My heart is tense, I don't know how Xie Qiao and the people from Fuguo's mansion will enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

The people in Funing Palace have seen her before!

He suddenly looked at the eldest lady, as if asking her to explain.

The madam's heart sank. At that time, Wei Ruxue was involved in lawsuits, and she forgot to tell her about Xie Qiao!

Qin Yu was surprised and said, "Sister Xue'er, do you know Dr. Xie?"

Wei Ruxue stared at Xie Qiao coldly, and before she could speak, Rong Shu smiled slightly and said, "Sister Xue'er often comes to the house to play tricks, so naturally she knows the elder sister. The play between the sisters caused sister Xue'er to misunderstand the elder sister After a pause, Rong Shu looked at Wei Ruxue softly: "Sister Xueer, what do you think?"

Wei Ruxue was startled, Xie Qiao was actually that 'slut' her mother called?
If the Queen Mother asked, how would she explain that Xie Qiao was not her maid?
Immediately, I was in a mess.

His eyes moved slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but a gentle and kind smile appeared on his face: "It's just a small matter." He didn't forget where he was, and followed Rong Shu's words, and turned to Qin Yu: "Princess, I have something important to discuss with Miss Xie. You enter the hall first, and I will come later." Wei Ruxue's thoughts turned quickly, and the current plan was to delay Xie Qiao from seeing the Queen Mother.The smile didn't fade at all, and he affectionately took Xie Qiao's hand and pulled it aside: "Follow me!"

At this moment, Aunt Ning stood outside the hall and said, "The Empress Dowager invites you all into the hall."

Wei Ruxue's expression froze, her fingers pinched tightly into Xie Qiao's arm.

Xie Qiao frowned, and calmly reminded Wei Ruxue, "You're pinching me."

The cold voice was clearly heard outside the peaceful hall.

Wei Ruxue let go of her hand embarrassingly, already furious in her heart.But under Aunt Ning's gaze, she bit her lips tightly and kept silent.

Right now, it is impossible to stop Xie Qiao from entering the palace.

Aunt Ning led the crowd into the hall to greet her birthday.

The queen mother is in good condition, with a ruddy complexion and a hale and hearty spirit.Seeing Qin Yu beaming with joy, he immediately beckoned Qin Yu into his arms and asked her how she has been these years.Immediately, he complained again: "You are cruel. You have been away for two or three years. The imperial grandmother misses you so much that you can only look forward to your letter every day for comfort."

Qin Yu cried and put on make-up, and confessed softly: "Yu'er also misses you very much, but her body is repetitive and not suitable for long-distance travel. In recent years, she has gotten better. It just so happens that your birthday is coming, so I set off to return to Beijing. It's just that I don't live up to my strength, and I am afraid that I will give you the anger of illness, so I entered the palace today to greet you." Then he took Wei Ruxue's hand and said: "Thanks to sister Xue'er for taking care of me these days."

But Xie Qiao was not mentioned at all.

Xie Qiao didn't care at all.

The queen mother was grateful to Wei Ruxue for curing her stubborn illness, but she also complained about her killing Yu Zining, and the smile on her face faded a little.

Aunt Ning ordered the servant girl to clean Qin Yu's face and reapply the makeup.He rescued Wei Ruxue and said: "Miss Wei rarely enters the palace, so I asked the Queen Mother for a safe pulse." After a pause, pointing to Xie Qiao, he said, "Aren't you Miss Wei's maid? Let's help each other."

The queen mother frowned, but it was not easy to embarrass her.

Princess Rong, who was sitting in front of the orderly wife, sneered, "Aunt Ning misunderstood, if she is Miss Wei's maidservant, why did she stand behind the concubine of the Duke of Fu's mansion? Ranked in order, it looks like the man of the Duke of Fu's mansion." Where is my sister!"

Aunt Ning was startled, she recognized Xie Qiao, Wei Ruxue brought her to treat the Empress Dowager last time she went back.When introducing Xie Qiao's identity, he made it clear that he was a maid who knew a little about Qi and Huang.

Just now outside the hall, Wei Ruxue was also very close to her...

Thinking of this, Aunt Ning remembered that the relationship between Xie Qiao and Wei Ruxue outside was a bit weird.

Xie Qiao's words were indeed not like what a maidservant should say to her master.

Mrs. Zhu pursed her lips tightly, not to rectify Xie Qiao's name.

Deng said with a smile: "My concubine has good eyesight, she is Rong Hua, the eldest daughter of the Duke Fu's mansion."

Princess Rong smiled elusively: "Aunt Ning has seen the eldest daughter of the Fuguo Palace. Could it be that Miss Wei brought her into the palace to be treated by the Queen Mother? And lied that she was her maid? The eldest daughter of the Fuguo Palace. The identity may not be comparable to the identity of the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, so concealing it, could it be something tricky..."

Princess Rong's unfinished words were full of strong hatred.The bright red nails dyed with Kodan reflected her thin white fingers, as if carrying a fierce killing intent.

Wei Ruxue's face was like gold paper, a chill penetrated into her lungs.

In the words of Princess Rong, there is only the last thin layer of window paper left.

It breaks with one poke.

I was terrified.

However, Princess Rong was a little less interested, covered her mouth and yawned, then changed the topic and said: "Queen Mother, it's time, you move to Yaohuachi."

The queen mother rubbed her forehead that was aching because of their quarrel, put her hand on Aunt Ning's wrist, got up and went to Yaohuachi.

Wei Ruxue's back was covered with cold sweat, and she felt chills, but she still didn't dare to relax, for fear of being accidentally exposed.After taking a step, his feet felt weak, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Qin quickly helped Wei Ruxue up and said a few words intentionally, seeing her pale face, she couldn't bear it.

……

At dusk, under the setting sun.

The water in Yaohua Pool is sparkling, reflecting the residual brilliance, and the surface of the water seems to be sprinkled with fine gold flakes, shining brightly.

Peach trees are in full bloom in the spacious courtyard, and the flowers are full of shadows, covered with red ribbons.

All the ministers have already sat down, and the queen mother is surrounded by all the female relatives.

Emperor Ming ended his government affairs and came with the queen.

Everyone stood up and knelt down.

"All lovers are free of courtesy." Emperor Ming glanced at the crowd, paused at the Fuguo Palace's female relatives, and looked away calmly: "Today is the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, and I congratulate all the lovers." After finishing speaking, He raised his glass and drank it down.

"The ministers wish the Empress Dowager such blessings as the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

The Queen Mother smiled happily, and drank the fruit wine prepared by Aunt Ning in a good mood.Looking around at everyone, he said: "It's Aijia's birthday today, you don't have to be cautious, just treat it as an ordinary family banquet, and do it casually."

Xie Qiao looked at the Queen Mother suddenly, the last two sentences were obviously lacking in breath when he spoke in a moderate way.

"Bangdang-"

The Empress Dowager's hands twitched suddenly, and the wine glass that had not been put down fell to the ground.

"Mother-"

"The Queen Mother—"

The hall was in a mess for an instant.

Emperor Ming's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Where is Miss Wei?"

Wei Ruxue felt like she was sitting on pins and needles from the moment she entered the hall, she only hoped to leave the banquet and return home as soon as possible, she was like a frightened bird.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager became ill and panicked.

Emperor Ming's voice made her turn pale with fright.

"Miss Wei, give the empress dowager a quick diagnosis and treatment!" Aunt Ning called out anxiously.

Wei Ruxue was stunned on the spot, shaking her head and trying to say something, but she was pushed forward by someone in a panic.

Under the eyes of everyone, Wei Ruxue couldn't flinch. Under the dark eyes of Emperor Ming, she clenched her fists tightly and walked to the Empress Dowager step by step as if stepping on the edge of a knife.

Her fingers rested on the empress dowager's pulse tremblingly. The pulse was chaotic, and she couldn't diagnose any illness at all.

Big drops of sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Didn't you say it was cured? If anything happens to the Queen Mother, I want your head!" Emperor Ming said angrily.

These words were like a knife cutting through Wei Ruxue's tense nerve.Throwing aside the queen mother's hand, she covered her head and screamed in a broken voice: "I... I don't know! I don't know anything!"
