"Your Majesty said so? Is this what the general meant?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, yes."
After listening to Qingxia's words, the Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and her eyes stayed for a while on Mrs. Huaiyinbo who was sitting neatly at the foot of the steps.
"Since Your Majesty has approved it, let's do it as the General wants!" The Queen Mother glanced at Mrs. Huaiyin and her daughter who had already stood up, and said with a smile, "The General came from Your Majesty's side and said that he wanted to give Greetings from the Ai family, I happen to see you here. I haven’t seen you for many years, so you want to meet and talk!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Jinyu, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao walking in. The Queen Mother waved to them and asked them to come to her.
"I would like to send my regards to the Queen Mother." Shen Cha led Jin Miaomiao to salute the Queen Mother. Shen Cha asked Qingxia to place a low stool at the feet of the Queen Mother and asked Jin Miaomiao to give her a follow-up consultation. "How have you been feeling these past few days?" Already?"
"I've taken a few doses of Miao Miao's medicine, and I'm much better." The Queen Mother held Shen Cha's hand, "Don't patronize me, take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry, there are many pairs of eyes watching me. It's impossible to be willful." Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao, "How about it?"
"Very healthy." Jin Miaomiao looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, "You just have to pay attention. If it feels too hot at night, the charcoal fire in the palace should not be burned so much, but the quilt must be covered." She turned around and told Qingxia, "Sisters, please pay more attention."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Jin, I will never make the same mistake again."
Qingxia made her promise very seriously, and she was most guilty of causing the Queen Mother to fall ill because of her negligence. Neither the Queen Mother nor His Majesty punished her, which made her feel even more guilty. Even if Lord Jin didn't say anything, she would never allow such a thing to happen again.
"Okay, don't worry, I'm in good health!" The Queen Mother pulled Shen Cha to sit down next to her, and waved to Mrs. Huaiyin Bo and her two daughters who had already stood up, "I'm just here to talk. , neglecting the guests."
"The Queen Mother, this concubine cannot bear this." Yan Ruyu looked at Shen Cha with a smile and blessed her, "We haven't seen you for so many years. The general's demeanor remains the same, which is really enviable."
"Madam's words made me feel a little confused, thinking that the general is still in his twilight years this year!" Song Jinyu sneered, "Madam, if you are not good at words, please refrain from talking, so as not to be disliked by others."
Song Jinyu didn't give Yan Ruyu any face, and every word she said hurt her heart. She was a straightforward person, and she always spoke straight to the point.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I said the wrong thing. I apologize!"
"Sister Xiaoyu, Mrs. Bo doesn't mean any harm, she's just joking." Shen Cha patted Song Jinyu on the arm, telling her not to be so aggressive and frighten her, so she wouldn't be able to question her later. Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess's expression softened slightly, she turned to look at Yan Ruyu, "Madam, there is no need to panic, please sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, General, for your generosity!"
Seeing her expressionless face, Yan Ruyu felt very nervous. She never expected that she would meet Duke Zhenguo and General Zhenguo this time when she went to Beijing. If she knew about it, she would never come back. . These two people were the ones she least wanted to see and deal with.
Chen Cha nodded towards Qingxia and watched Qingxia lead all the maids in the palace to leave. The maids who entered the palace again were all disguised as the female shadows next to the Queen Mother.
After they entered the palace, they first bowed to the Queen Mother, Song Jinyu and Shen Cha. Then two of them guarded the Queen Mother, two guarded Song Jinyu, and the remaining eight guarded all the entrances and exits of the hall.
"The Queen Mother?" Seeing this formation, Yan Ruyu was a little panicked. She looked left and right, wondering what the fuss was about. "General, what do you mean?"
"Mr. Yan, from now on, everything you say will be recorded in a book for His Majesty's viewing." Shen Cha raised his chin towards the shadow who had prepared the record, "If you lie, it will definitely affect the whole family and the whole clan, do you understand? Don't expect Uncle Huaiyin to come to save you or excuse you. I have received the news before entering the palace that Uncle Huaiyin's mansion has been surrounded by forbidden troops and patrol camps. People in the mansion are not allowed to move around easily, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy."
"General, I have no grievances against you, why did you do this? If my joke just now made you angry, you can tell it. There is no need to avenge private revenge, right?"
"Revenge privately? I don't have such a hobby. We did not have any personal grudges or enmities before. We surrounded Huaiyin's Mansion not because of personal grudges or enmities. Everything was for Daxia. Otherwise, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother would not agree to this general's request. Came to interrogate you."
Uncle Huaiyin's two daughters had never seen such a scene since they were born. They wanted to defend their mother, but due to the pressure of Shen Cha, they could not open their mouths at all. They could only watch their mother alone. Fight hard.
Yan Ruyu didn't intend to involve his two daughters, and motioned them with his eyes to sit quietly and not to interrupt at will.
"Really? In that case, I misunderstood the general. So, what does the general want to ask?" Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and sat upright, "If I know, I will tell you everything I know. I can’t say enough.”
"Madam, please don't forget what you said." Shen Cha smiled faintly, "Madam just returned to Beijing yesterday. There is one thing that may not be clear yet. Fengyitai has been sealed and the boss has been arrested."
"Seizure?" Yan Ruyu was a little surprised after hearing Shen Cha's words, but she quickly came to her senses, "What does the general say about this? Although I was born in Fengyitai, I have been away from there for many years. Lost contact."
"Last night during the arraignment, the boss said something that made me very interested." Shen Cha took out the painted Black Armor Battalion logo from his sleeve and unfolded it gently, "Madam, do you recognize this?"
"This... this..." Seeing this sign, Yan Ruyu's expression changed drastically, and her whole body began to tremble, as if she had seen some ferocious beast. "Great...general..."
"It seems that Madam knows what this is." Shen Cha put away the piece of paper and gestured to Shadow standing next to him to pour her a cup of tea. "Madam disappeared for a period of time before marrying Uncle Huaiyin. That period Is the time used to make a complete settlement with them?"
After half a stick of incense, Yan Ruyu recovered from the shock. She picked up the tea cup tremblingly. Because her hands were too trembling, she almost spilled the tea. Fortunately, there were two people beside her. A daughter supported her.
After drinking two sips of tea, Yan Ruyu calmed down her mood. With the support of her two daughters, she slowly stood up, walked to Shen Cha, knelt down on the ground, and made a solemn salute.
