Su Jianshen, the little chamberlain in the Queen's Palace, hurried to the reception office and saluted quickly after seeing Ning Weimo and others.
He said Wang Luoshen's instructions once more, turned around and left.
Ning Weimo stopped him.
"Eunuch Su."
Ning Weimo said: "I just told the Queen two days ago that it is inappropriate to leave Geling City at this time. Why is the Queen leaving again today? Could it be that she met someone and was instigated by someone?"
Su Jianshen stopped for a moment.
He turned back to look at Ning Weimo, saluted again and said, "Master Zaifu also knows that I am just a humble servant. Originally, I just answered whatever Master Zaifu asked."
"But what Mr. Zaifu said just now seems to be a bit out of order. The queen is still the queen now. Zaifu thinks that the queen must listen to you, the minister? Zaifu, you are still the minister, not your majesty."
Ning Weimo was stunned by these words.
Why some big people often capsize in the gutter is because they unconsciously despise those who are far inferior to them.
Ning Weimo never expected that the few words the little chamberlain replied were so sharp.
Before he could speak, Su Jianshen added a few more words.
"Master Zaifu should also know that I came here on the orders of the Queen, not to ask for instructions from Master Zaifu, but to convey the order."
Ning Weimo said: "It is true that I did not use my words just now. Eunuch Su taught me a lesson. However, I have already told the Queen that there are unpredictable dangers in leaving Geling at this time..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Jianshen emphasized again: "Master Zaifu, I am here to convey the decree, not to listen to Master Zaifu's reasoning. If Master Zaifu really has something to say, why not come with me back to Zhenyuan?" Palace, after asking to see the Queen, if you have anything to say to the Queen, I am just a chamberlain."
Ning Weimo said: "In that case, I will go to Zhenyuan Palace with Eunuch Su."
Su Jianshen immediately leaned over and said, "Please."
Ning Weimo followed Su Jianshen to Zhenyuan Palace by carriage and horse. Su Jianshen got out of his carriage, stopped Ning Weimo's carriage, and said with an apologetic look: "Master Zaifu will wait outside the palace gate." , I will go and report to the Queen now."
Ning Weimo nodded: "Excuse me, Eunuch Su, please hurry up."
Su Jian responded deeply and entered Zhenyuan Palace first.
Soon after, Su Jianshen returned to the queen's palace and saw that Wang Luoshen was not there. He knew that it was time for the young master to make preparations, so he stepped forward to resume his duties.
Queen Zhao glanced at him with a rather cold look in her eyes.
Su Jianshen knew that the queen must hate him, but behind him was Wang Luoshen, a queen who did not live up to her name, and he did not take it seriously.
"Reporting to the Queen, Mr. Ning Weimo heard that the Queen was leaving Geling. He seemed a little anxious, so he came back with me and asked me to ask the Queen if I could see him immediately."
Queen Zhao nodded: "Since Lord Zaifu is here, I still have to meet him."
Su Jianshen leaned over and said, "I will go pick up Mr. Zaifu now. I will leave first."
After saying that, he turned to leave, but Queen Zhao said at this time: "Eunuch Su just made a trip and he must be a little tired. I will let others handle such small things."
Su Jianshen turned around and said, "Thank you very much for your concern, sir..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a person walking out from behind the screen. Su Jian's eyes changed deeply, and his legs immediately felt a little weak.
Not long after, a young chamberlain trotted all the way to the entrance of Zhenyuan Palace. When he arrived beside Ning Weimo's carriage, he leaned over and saluted: "I apologize to Mr. Zaifu for keeping him waiting for a long time. The Empress said, please Zaifu." Lord Assistant, please enter the palace."
Ning Weimo got off the carriage, looked at the young chamberlain and asked, "Where is Eunuch Su who came with me just now?"
The little chamberlain said: "Eunuch Su was sent elsewhere by the queen on official business. He seemed to be in a hurry. He came back and said a few words before leaving in a hurry."
Ning Weimo did not become suspicious and followed the young chamberlain all the way to the queen's palace.
Seeing that the waiter was unfamiliar, he asked, "Why didn't I see you last time I came here?"
The little chamberlain replied: "When Mr. Zaifu came last time, I was waiting beside the queen, or Mr. Zaifu didn't notice me."
Ning Weimo recalled it, and it seemed that he had some impression, but also seemed to have no impression at all, it was very vague.
After thinking about it, he wouldn't really take it to heart even if he took a look at this little chamberlain.
Walking all the way to the door of the palace, the young chamberlain leaned over and said, "Let me go in first and report to the Queen. Lord Zaifu will wait here for a moment."
After speaking, without waiting for Ning Weimo to reply, he turned around and entered the palace.
After only a moment, he came out and said that the queen was calling to come in.
Ning Weimo tidied his clothes, walked to the door and leaned over and said, "I, Ning Weimo, would like to see the Queen."
When he leaned over, he saw someone walking in. This person was wearing a pair of black cloth shoes, and Ning Weimo immediately felt shocked.
These cloth shoes are not from the palace.
He looked up suddenly and saw a slender man standing at the door. His face showed no specific age, but his long snow-white hair was very eye-catching.
Also, this person is missing an arm.
"Lord Zaifu, please."
The man smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Ning Weimo woke up at this moment... he was careless.
He was such a cautious person, but he was still a little anxious when he heard that the queen was determined to leave Geling.
People who are anxious tend to make mistakes.
If he had calmed down first, he might have been able to analyze what was wrong with Su Jianshen's suddenly aggressive attitude.
But at this time, he had no way out.
This white-haired man is Hua Lianhua.
No one expected Hua Lianhua to be here, including Wang Luoshen.
"Master Zaifu probably doesn't recognize me."
After Hua Lianhua followed Ning Weimo through the door, she turned around and closed the door.
Ning Weimo said: "I really haven't seen it..."
Just when he said this, he saw a corpse lying on the ground. Judging from the appearance of death, it was strangled to death.
This corpse is none other than Su Jianshen.
At this time, Ning Weimo had an illusion in his heart that it was like a different life. Su Jianshen was talking to him not long ago, but now he has turned into a cold corpse, as if the previous intersection between the two people was an illusion.
"I'm really sorry for being in the eyes of Mr. Zaifu."
As Hua Lianhua spoke, she took out a jade bottle from her cuff, unscrewed the stopper, and sprinkled some powder on Su Jianshen's body. Then Ning Weimo saw that the body turned into water at an extremely fast speed.
Hua Lianhua watched the corpse melt like snow baked by fire, with a faint sense of satisfaction on his face.
"It will be fine after a while. The best thing about my medicine is that even when disposing of corpses, there will be no pungent smell or discomfort."
Hua Lianhua pointed to the chair: "Master Zaifu, sit down first, I'll have someone wipe it down."
Ning Weimo sat down bravely and asked, "Although I don't know who you are, you dare to commit such a crime in the Queen's Palace in front of me. Are you really not afraid..."
Hua Lianhua said: "Save it, it's so tiring to pretend, it's better to sit down and take two more breaths than you talk nonsense. After all... no one knows that Mr. Zaifu will pass in a while." Can you still breathe?"
Ning Weimo asked: "Where is the Queen?"
"Queen, I'm writing something."
Hua Lianhua pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Ning Weimo, looking straight at Ning Weimo's face.
Although Ning Weimo has a very deep city and a quick wit, he doesn't know how to practice. How can he not be afraid at this time?
Seeing that Ning Weimo did not dare to look at her, Hua Lianhua became even more proud.
He suddenly reached out and took off the thing hanging from Ning Weimo's belt.
It was a very beautiful kit, and inside it was the Prime Minister's seal that Ning Weimo always carried with him.
Ning Weimo subconsciously reached out to take it back. After being glanced at by Hua Lianhua, he could only retract his hand and lower his head again.
Hua Lianhua took out Ning Weimo's seal and looked at it, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"It's used by the majestic Prime Minister, why does it look so shabby?"
Hua Lianhua raised the seal and looked at it. It was a three-finger thick square seal.
Ning Weimo said: "What do you want to do by seizing the seal?"
Hua Lianhua suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ning Weimo hard on the face.
After the crisp sound, Ning Weimo was obviously confused.
"Don't be rude to Master Zaifu."
Queen Zhao walked out of the back room, holding a newly written decree in her hand and handing it to Hua Lianhua: "It's finished."
After opening it, Hua Lianhua looked at it and nodded: "It's a good calligraphy."
He looked back at the young chamberlain who had just led Ning Weimo in: "Guo Bao'er, take the Queen's decree and the Prime Minister's seal and rush to the Forbidden Army camp to see General Gao Qisheng."
That person named Guo Baoer is not a chamberlain. He is a disciple taught by Hua Lianhua.
This person looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old, but in fact, he is nearly thirty years old.
After handing the two things to Guo Baoer, Hua Lianhua said: "Although our queen is indeed not worthy of her name, she is still a queen after all. Gao Qisheng will not fail to come. Just be careful when doing things and don't make him suspicious."
Having said this, he glanced at the puddle of water on the ground and said, "Your junior brother is really ugly now. Maybe you don't want to become so ugly too?"
Guo Baoer hurriedly leaned over and said: "I don't dare, I don't want to, I will handle it well for my master."
Hua Lianhua smiled and said, "Go, hurry up."
Ning Weimo was well-informed, but he had never seen such a vicious person.
He originally thought that Su Jianshen was just an unimportant role, so the evil man killed Su Jianshen.
Who would have thought that Su Jianshen was actually this man's disciple.
"Does it still hurt?"
Hua Lianhua moved her chair forward and reached out to touch the beaten half of Ning Weimo's face.
Ning Weimo subconsciously stepped back, and Hua Lianhua slapped him again.
After the beating, Hua Lianhua actually looked a little distressed.
"Look, the beating is red and swollen. Someone saw it. Where is the dignity of our Lord Prime Minister?"
While Hua Lianhua was talking, she took out a small round iron box and opened it. The box looked delicate and was only half the size of a palm.
After opening it, a refreshing fragrance appeared. Ning Weimo smelled it unconsciously, and all of a sudden, it seemed that everything in his chest and abdomen became transparent.
Hua Lianhua used the pads of her fingers to smear something that was as white as snow and shaped like mutton fat, and smeared it on Ning Weimo's beaten face.
As soon as he put this thing on, Ning Weimo felt that the burning pain on his face disappeared immediately.
A cool feeling came from his face, and it could quickly spread throughout his body.
At this moment, he felt as if he had suddenly entered a place with a cool breeze when the heat was unbearable in the hot summer, and every pore was enjoying the coolness.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Hua Lianhua stood up and brought a bronze mirror over. She looked at Ning Weimo's face and said, "Master Zaifu, look at it. Has the swelling gone? It's as if it had never been beaten. There are no traces at all."
Ning Weimo lowered his head and did not look at the bronze mirror, Hua Lianhua laughed.
Queen Zhao frowned slightly and said, "That's enough, don't humiliate him anymore."
Hua Lianhua said pleasantly: "That's right. After all, this is a treasure. Whether we can be good in the future depends on Master Ning."
After saying that, he suddenly slapped Ning Weimo on the face again, even harder than the two slaps just now.
After the beating, Hua Lianhua looked at Queen Zhao: "Why should I listen to you, and how dare you give me orders?"
