I raised my eyebrows when I heard this, but I remained calm and just said a faint "Oh".

Shui Xiu said softly: "Girl, is it——"

I shook my head gently at her. She looked at me and understood immediately. Without asking any more questions, she and Aunt Wu helped me tidy up the mattress and went out.

I sat at the table, watching the sunlight coming in from outside the door, shining brightly on the ground, and stopped just as it reached my feet, as if it never shined on me. Looking at that kind of sunlight, I also

I feel chilly.

It was Shen Rou who did it.

Xu Youling's death was originally a conspiracy between the two of them. In the past two years, Shen Rou has been making all the changes in the harem, and Yuwen has been promoted from a palace maid to Jieyu. During this period, I can guess what they did even if I don't know.

To.

Yuwen knows too much about her, and now that she is being imprisoned awaiting trial, of course she must find a way to silence her.

I just feel a little scary - Shen Rou, has it reached the point where her hands and eyes can reach the sky?

The person is Chang Qingguan, and Pei Yuanhao is suppressing her, and it involves such a big thing as Concubine Li's miscarriage, but she can be killed in prison. Has the power of the Shen family grown to such a terrifying level?

!

If this is the case, then Pei Yuanhao——

Thinking of this, I immediately interrupted my thoughts.

I really should learn to be smarter. This is the emperor’s business. What’s wrong with you? Besides, the struggle between the government and the government has always been bloody. If I really mess with the Shen family, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died.

Don't know.

I smiled and shook my head, stretched out my hand, and the sun shone on my fingertips, giving me a warm feeling.

The weather is slowly getting hotter, and summer is here.

I spent some time in Jingren Palace to recuperate my body. Chang Qing didn't come to see me much, but the people who served me were very attentive. Over time, I gained a little weight and my chin became less pointed.

I felt much better that day. I put on a fresh green dress and asked Shuixiu to help me pull up my hair. Shuixiu looked at me in the bronze mirror and said, "The girl is so beautiful."

I smiled and said: "What's so good about it?"

“It’s beautiful everywhere.”

Aunt Wu was doing needlework next to her, and she also looked at us and smiled. As soon as I turned around, I saw Xiao Nianshen standing at the door, looking at me with big eyes, and immediately said happily: "Your Highness, you are here!

”

Shui Xiu and Nanny Wu quickly stood up and greeted him.

I know that his illness has been cured, but he was still grounded by the emperor to recuperate for a long time. In addition, I have been sick myself and have not been able to visit him. Now that I see him standing at the door, he is completely fine. Finally

Also feel relieved.

Nian Shen looked at me blankly. I walked up to him and knelt down: "Your Highness?"

"..."

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"..." His dark eyes reflected my face, which was rosy. After a while, I heard him murmur: "Aunt Qing, you - you are so beautiful!"

When I heard this, I immediately laughed and said, "Your Highness is talking nonsense again."

"No," he shook his head hastily, with an extremely solemn look on his face, and said, "Really, Aunt Qing, I didn't know you were so good-looking, even prettier than the ladies in the harem."

Shui Xiu immediately said from the side: "Of course, His Highness didn't know that the girl was still——"

"Shui Xiu!" I hurriedly turned around and glared at her. She stuck out her tongue and did not continue, so I said to Nian Shen: "Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense. How can a slave be compared to your empress? If you say so,

The emperor is going to be angry."

"Oh..."

He nodded in agreement, and then said hurriedly: "Qing——Qingying, I heard from my father that you promised to stay with me, right?"

Seeing his happy look, I felt helpless: "Yeah."

"Great, I'm so happy."

"I am here to accompany His Highness to study and learn to read. If His Highness is serious about it, I will accompany him. If Your Highness still thinks about having fun every day and does not read books and learn principles, I will ask the emperor to let me out of the palace."

Nian Shen hurriedly said: "I will, I will study hard!"

He seemed to be particularly afraid that I would leave, so he puffed up his chest and said, "I promise!"

Seeing his serious look, I smiled.

Nian Shen seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "The Queen Mother said that the invitations for the master have been sent out, but it seems that the Taifu and the others are not willing to let the master enter the palace, and have jointly signed many ministers to give the emperor a discount.

!"

"Oh?"

I raised my eyebrows and stroked his soft heart calmly - Shen Gongye and the others were not willing to let Fu Badai enter the palace. This is not surprising to me. The division of power between the north and the south, coupled with the entanglements of interests involved, already made it difficult for them to do so.

It's not that easy to integrate, but this time, it depends on how Pei Yuanhao responds.

If nothing else happens, in a few months, the Shu great scholar will make some moves.

I just don’t know if he will really come.

If he really comes, it is difficult to estimate the impact he will have on the imperial court, the Shu region, and the entire Celestial Empire.

Although I stayed to accompany the eldest prince, the master has not entered the palace yet, so I still have some free time. After taking a short rest, I returned to Linshui Pagoda.

After all, there are still people and things that concern me.

As soon as I walked onto the water corridor, I smelled the faint fragrance of sandalwood in the air, accompanied by the sound of wooden fish, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility, even the water surface became quiet.

As soon as I walked over, I saw the door opened, and Aunt Gui walked out with someone.

A closer look revealed that it was the talented Yuan Yueming.

When I saw her at first sight, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that she would come to the Laishui Pagoda again, and the Queen Mother would also let her into the Pagoda. Although Aunt Gui didn't say anything to her, she personally escorted her out, which is probably what she did.

Somewhat familiar.

Just when I was watching them in a daze, Yuan Cairen had already raised her head and saw me. She was a little surprised, but a smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face, and she came over and said, "Sister Qingying."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Even the title has changed.

I also smiled and said, "The talented person is here, Qingying is so polite." After saying that, I was about to salute her. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to support me and said with a smile, "Sister Qingying is out of sight like this."<

/p>

I followed Shan Ruliu's lead, glanced at Aunt Gui, and said, "Is this talented person here to see the Queen Mother?"

"Well, I copied a few more scriptures and brought them here. Besides, the Queen Mother has been worried about my sister's health. Yue Ming also came to tell the Queen Mother not to worry. My sister has recovered now."

"Let the talented people forget about it."

"Sister Qingying, don't say that. Since you are back, I will leave first."

After saying that, he nodded to me, turned around and walked away gracefully. Aunt Gui had been standing beside her. At this time, she came up and said, "These days, I come every day."

"Oh..."

I turned around and glanced at her back, which was slim and graceful, but very touching.

Aunt Gui said with some worry: "But Miss Qing, it will be good if you come back. Ever since the Queen Mother went to Jingren Palace a few days ago, something has been wrong when she came back. She has to kneel in front of the Buddha for seven or eight hours every day.

Her body can't bear it if this goes on. If it hadn't been for Yuan Cairen coming every day to tell the Queen Mother about you, the Queen Mother might have spent the rest of her time in front of the Buddhist shrine."

"Really?"

I suddenly frowned. The Queen Mother has really been like this since she saw that painting in Chang Qing's studio. Could it be that that painting is really——

Thinking of this, I hurriedly said: "I'm going to see the Queen Mother."

Aunt Gui nodded and took me in.

There was light smoke in the Buddhist hall, and the fragrance of sandalwood filled every corner. But I don’t know why, the sandalwood outside smelled meditative, but the sandalwood inside the pagoda was so strong, it had an ominous feeling, and I felt it at a glance.

I saw the Queen Mother kneeling in front of the Buddhist altar, wearing a blue-gray gown that made her thin and quiet.

I walked over gently and said, "Queen Mother, Qingying is back."

She didn't move, but she was still mumbling something. I listened carefully. It was "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", which prays for people to eliminate disasters and eliminate karma.

I stood quietly behind her until she finished reading, then slowly turned around. When I saw the Queen Mother's face, my heart suddenly sank.

In the past, I had never really looked at her face. I only thought that she was very indifferent and kind. She should have been a very charming beauty when she was young. But now when I look at her and think back to the person in the painting, I realize that there are two

The individuals are so similar, especially the eyes. I can almost see the person thousands of miles away from the eyes in front of me!

What makes me even more distressed is that the Queen Mother has become very thin. In the past many years, she has been indifferent to everything around her. Her whole body is like a huge ice cave, freezing her age and appearance.

But in just a few days, she had aged so much, as if the ice in her heart had melted.

Why?
