After Queen Mother Huo left the Leng Palace, Concubine Su walked out of the darkness and took a look at the gloomy Leng Palace. She felt that her hair was standing on end. Just now, she only heard crazy screams coming from the Leng Palace, and she didn't know what was inside. Condition.
Immediately, after the two of them had gone away, Concubine Su ordered her confidant, Nanny Li, to go in and inquire about the situation.
After a while, Grandma Li turned blue with fright, and ran out quickly, stammering: "Ghost, there is a ghost, there is a ghost inside, it's so scary."
Concubine Su was also very frightened. The surroundings of the Cold Palace were very eerie and scary. She had never been to such a place. The Queen Mother's behavior tonight was very unusual and made her very curious. Concubine Su pinched Nanny Li's arm and said, "Why?" Could there be a ghost? Don't scare yourself. If there really is a ghost, the Queen Mother also went in just now. How come she is okay?"
"Mother, let's go quickly. I heard that the cold palace is full of crazy women, and there is nothing interesting to see." Grandma Li stopped her.
Concubine Su was still unwilling to give in and asked in a low voice: "What did you see just now that made you so scared?"
"A white-haired woman without legs climbed on the window. I shined a candlelight on it and it scared me to death." Grandma Li panicked when she thought of the black shadow, and she just wanted to escape from here.
"The slave was too scared and didn't see her face clearly. However, she seemed to have no eyes and her legs seemed to be bad. It was too dark, so the slave didn't see her clearly."
Concubine Su said coldly: "The Queen Mother will never come to the cold palace for no reason. She usually pretends to be nobler than anyone else. Now Rui'er has found out that the Huo family has done so many bad things and wants to punish the Huo family on the spot." The Queen Mother will hold a grudge against Shang Ruier because of this, so I have to find a way to seize the opportunity first."
Concubine Su was determined to find out the Queen Mother's secret, so she ordered Nanny Li to secretly investigate the steward who usually managed the cold palace.
In the palace, the Queen Mother was not warm to anyone, and she did not look down on Concubine Su. Therefore, she had long hated the Queen Mother behind her back, but no one dared to offend the Queen Mother. They must be filial and docile in front of the Queen Mother. .
Concubine Su thought to herself: "I heard that both the Emperor and Prince Yu are avoiding the Queen Mother, which means that the Queen Mother has really lost her power."
Concubine Su also has her own selfish motives. The Queen Mother used to be the most noble woman in the palace. Since her son became the prince, she also has many plans.
However, it was really strange for the Queen Mother to run to the Cold Palace in the middle of the night. Concubine Su glanced at the Cold Palace intentionally or unintentionally. What secrets were there?
…
On the other side, the Queen Mother and Aunt Gui returned to Kangshou Palace.
Aunt Gui helped the Queen Mother to the bed with distress. Seeing the Queen Mother's appearance, she knew that the Queen Mother was hurt by the Emperor and Prince Yu. Aunt Gui had been with the Queen Mother all her life, and she felt sorry for the Queen Mother in her heart. She didn't know how to comfort her.
Immediately, the Queen Mother took Nanny Gui's hand and said, "Agui, go see if Nan'er and Yu'er have come to pay their respects to the Ai family. Their uncle was killed, and the Ai family wants to avenge their eldest brother."
Aunt Gui only sighed, but did not respond to Hedao. She had already sent someone to invite the emperor, but the emperor refused to come to Kangshou Palace because he was busy with official duties.
Aunt Gui had never seen the Queen Mother like this before. She also secretly blamed the Emperor and King Yu. They were the sons of the Queen Mother. How could they help outsiders bully the Queen Mother? Everything the Queen Mother did was for them.
Back then, Queen Xia also made every possible plan for her son.
