The Queen Mother's eyes gradually became colder, as if wrapped in a touch of frost outside the palace, making her look cold and cold.
An imperceptible struggle flashed in Pei Rong's eyes. She had no way of knowing whether the Queen Mother's concerns were true, but she was certain that if the Queen Mother really attacked Miss Yue Wan, the prince would be devastated when he found out.
Although the prince was his master's son, he was also raised by her. Sometimes the prince was even closer to her than the Queen Mother. He would secretly tell her many things that he did not want to tell the Queen Mother. In her heart, she had already regarded the prince as She really didn't want to see her child looking sad and blaming himself.
When the late emperor passed away, the prince was not yet one year old, so the Queen Mother took great care of the prince and protected him extremely well. But the Queen Mother has always been arbitrary in doing things. Although most of the reasons are for the sake of the prince, she often ignores the prince's feelings and never asks the prince whether these are what he wants.
The prince did not like to be bound by the rules of the palace since he was a child. Although he often interacted with these royal relatives and nobles and young masters from aristocratic families, she could see that the prince was always lonely in his heart. It was not until she met Mr. Su later that she For the first time, I saw a different light in the prince's eyes.
She still clearly remembered that not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince came to her excitedly and told her that he had met an extremely interesting woman. Not only did they have similar interests, but they also became good friends. That was her second time I saw that light in the prince's eyes.
She originally thought that the Queen Mother just wanted to use Yue Wan to share favors with Concubine Hua. With Yue Wan's beauty, even if she entered the harem, she would definitely become a noble person under one person and above ten thousand people. She was the noble person that many people dreamed of, and even more so. It is a good destination. Even if the prince knows about it, I believe it will not be too difficult to accept.
But what she never expected was that the Queen Mother wanted to take her life.
She was a little shaken when she was giving the medicine before, but after repeated consideration, she still did not dare to go against the Queen Mother's wishes. She also knew that if she had done anything, once it was found out, she would never be able to see the prince again in her life. Fortunately, God did not grant his wish, and the medicine lost its efficacy for no reason.
If Miss Yue Wan really falls into the trap of "Baimei Sheng", she will definitely be accused of fornication in the harem and executed according to palace regulations. If one day the prince learns the truth, he will not know how sad and angry he will be, and how much he will blame himself. I was afraid that I would never be able to face Mr. Su calmly again in the future. How could the prince bear the loss of two close friends in succession?
Thinking of this, Pei Rong observed the expression of the Queen Mother without leaving any trace, and then she changed her mind and said insinuatingly: "I heard that Mr. Su has an excellent reputation among the people. Not only is he upright, he also handles things appropriately, and he is an amazing talent. It is said that many people have offered money to him to get close to the prince through him, but he rejected them one by one. If this is true, it does not seem like he is a man who is unjust and unjust. Human beings, and from the slave's point of view, the prince does not seem to have any feelings for men and women towards Yue Wan."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she stared at Peirong, with a hint of compelling sharpness in her eyes, as if there was a pressure sweeping towards her, which made Peirong's heart tremble.
"You have repeatedly discouraged the Ai family from taking action against that girl. If they hadn't known that you were doing it for Zhou'er, the Ai family would have almost thought that you had tampered with the medicine tonight."
The Queen Mother's face darkened, and she did not hide her inner displeasure at all. The slight frown between her eyebrows pressed down on Pei Rong's heart like a hill.
Pei Rong's expression suddenly tightened, and she immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said, "I don't dare!"
"Of course the Aijia knows that you don't dare, and also knows that you are loyal to the Aijia mother and son, but you have to understand that Zhou'er is the son of the Aijia, and everything the Aijia does is for his own good. Could the Aijia still harm him? Can’t he?”
After the Queen Mother hammered hard and sternly, her expression calmed down a little, and then she motioned for Pei Rong to stand up. She sighed again and said: "You are also an old man in the palace. You should understand that people in this world are sinister. For Zhou'er, you must give up." You must rather be in vain than indulge in it.”
Pei Rong lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, hurriedly saying yes.
The Queen Mother looked past Pei Rong and turned to the distance, her gaze seemed distant and solemn, "Over the years, the Ai family has found so many official daughters for Zhou'er who are worthy of him, but he has always been indifferent, not making excuses. To dodge, to send the person away with a cold face, but to have a lively conversation with this wild girl who appeared out of nowhere. This will make those ministers look down, and how will the Ai family arrange marriage arrangements for him in the future? ? Now Zhou'er may not be in love with her yet, but given time, there is no guarantee that love will develop. The Ai family must prepare for rainy days and take nip in the bud to avoid worries in the future. "
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and there was a bit of cruelty between her brows, as if she was brewing something.
"Nowadays, the Hua family is becoming more and more unscrupulous. Hua Qiong is just a concubine. He dares to ride on the queen's head and do whatever he wants. He doesn't even take the Ai family into consideration. Since this girl can guess the Ai family's thoughts, she naturally knows it too. The Ai family and Hua Qiong are in direct conflict. If she is really embarrassed by Hua Qiong today, the Ai family might give her a chance to enter the harem and be favored by the Ai family. Unfortunately, although this girl is smart, she has She doesn't know how to praise her, but she colludes with Hua Qionghang and wants to go against the Ai family. How can the Ai family keep her?"
Pei Rong couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, and then suddenly realized. It turns out that the Queen Mother asked her to specially arrange for an unintelligent girl to be with Yue Wan, just to confuse Yue Wan and confuse her. In fact, the Queen Mother's real purpose was to use Concubine Hua Gui to test Yue Wan and see if she could do anything for her. Used. If the Queen Mother discovers that Yue Wan cannot be used by her, regardless of whether Yue Wan can be favored tonight or not, the Queen Mother will attack her mercilessly.
Pei Rong pursed her lips and was about to speak when the Queen Mother waved her hand towards her and ordered: "Go and deal with all Hua Qiong's spies in the palace. The Yi family doesn't want to see these pickpockets anymore. "
Pei Rong nodded in response. She wanted to say something more, but it was obvious that the Queen Mother no longer wanted her to speak anymore. She knew that it would be difficult to persuade the Queen Mother at the moment, and also knew that talking more would be useless, so she finally remained silent.
…
In the main hall of Qionghua Palace, Hua Qiong was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, resting her forehead and closing her eyes to meditate. A maid was kneeling in front of the couch, gently kneading her legs.
"Empress."
Hua Qiong's close maid Chanyi walked into the palace, stood outside the jasper bead curtain, and called softly.
Hua Qiong opened her eyes when she heard the sound, with a hint of tiredness in her eyes. She glanced at Chanyi, and then waved her hand to the palace attendants waiting in the palace, "Everyone, please go down."
After receiving the order, the palace people bowed and left.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Chanyi opened the bead curtain and walked to the couch, lowering her voice to report: "My Lady, just now news came back from outside the palace. The people over there have already set off. It won't take long for the job to be done. It is estimated that this news will reach the ears of the Queen Mother before dawn, so please be at ease."
"I've been very busy recently, so I don't update it from time to time. I hope all readers will bear with me."
