On the evening of the third day after the poisoned wine incident, the young eunuch from Cihua Palace came to Tingfangzhai to convey a message, saying that the Queen Mother invited her to accompany her to have dinner with her.
Zhuo Ye sighed inwardly, as expected, he is here...
Cihua Palace.
The Queen Mother exchanged simple polite words with Zhuo Ye, and then ordered the meal to be passed around.
Zhuo Ye remained calm and observed secretly that the Queen Mother was obviously eating absent-mindedly.
Soon the Queen Mother finished eating, and Zhuo Ye also quickly put down his chopsticks. She came to Cihua Palace to eat, so she didn't expect to be full.
The palace maid served the tea, the Queen Mother winked, and the people waiting on her left and right withdrew knowingly.
Zhuo Ye was stunned when she saw this, and then raised her eyebrows slightly. She thought that the Queen Mother was trying to get something from her in a subtle way. With her actions like this, was she going to talk about something directly?
Probably not...
Even if they know each other well, those dark things cannot be discussed openly!
Regardless of this, if the soldiers come to stop it, the water will come to cover it! Zhuo Ye can see that the Queen Mother is still very afraid of her identity. Even if the Queen Mother really opens up and tells her some things that she should not hear, she will not dare to destroy her.
Her mouth.
The two of them chatted for a while at first. The Queen Mother did not talk about the main topic, and Zhuo Ye also followed suit. They responded appropriately, neither close nor distant.
"I heard... that on the day of the palace banquet, you were the first to discover that there was something wrong with the glass of wine given to King Yu Linlang Jingjin?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
Here comes the main topic! Zhuo Ye cheered up, nodded and said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, it was the daughter of the people who discovered it first."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked calm and asked unhurriedly: "How did you find out?"
"It's just a feeling." Zhuo Ye replied calmly: "At that time, my intuition told me that there was something wrong with the glass of wine in Yu Linlang's hand."
"Sense? Did you sense that the glass of wine was poisonous?"
"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhuo Ye blushed and said breathlessly.
If this word were said from other people's mouth, it would be a joke and no one would believe it. But if it were said from Zhuo Ye's mouth, most people would not doubt who gave her the aura of "fake god"...
In fact, her identity itself is a joke...
Many things in the world are like this. If you pretend to be true, the truth will be false, and if you pretend to be true, the false will become true...
Zhuo Ye observed the expression on the Queen Mother's face, and it was obvious that the Queen Mother believed her nonsense!
"Although that child of Linge has had many misfortunes, he is still blessed with good fortune." The Queen Mother sighed faintly: "This time, it's all thanks to you..."
"People's daughters dare not take credit." Zhuo Ye smiled and said, "King Jin, he is a person favored by God."
"God favors you? Really?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
However, Zhuo Ye also caught the subtle changes in the Queen Mother's talent that were not easy to detect, and was suddenly shocked. Oops! She said the wrong thing! The words "God's favor" may have caused the Queen Mother's misunderstanding. People in this feudal time and space
In my heart, the person most favored by God should be the True Dragon Emperor!
"Of course, God will be kind to every kind and kind person..." Zhuo Ye quickly made up for his mistake.
"Oh, that's it..." After hearing this, the Queen Mother's facial muscles relaxed. But then her expression became a little gloomy.
Is she not kind enough and does things too harshly? That’s why God doesn’t want to see her. Although she is the most powerful and noble woman in the country, her late husband never loved her, the only woman who once regarded her as a friend.
, has also left, leaving only her endless resentment and jealousy...
Now, even her two biological sons have fallen out with her...
"Queen Mother?" Zhuo Ye couldn't help but call out softly when he saw that the Queen Mother's expression was getting more and more sad, and she was silent for a long time.
The Queen Mother came back to her senses and sighed at Zhuo Ye: "Although that child in Linge is not my biological child, he grew up around me and is no different from my biological child. I have been worried about him in the past few years.
Now that the poison on his body has been cured, and someone wants to harm him again, the Ai family and him are really worried. His mother and concubine are watching from the sky, so they may not be able to rest assured..."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I have said before that King Jin is a blessed man. He will be happy and live a long and safe life in the future." Zhuo Ye knew that the Queen Mother's words were a test, but she was just waiting for her test.
…
"Really? Are you sure? You're not showing condolences to your family, are you?" When the Queen Mother asked this question, she looked closely into Zhuo Ye's eyes.
"Yes, Queen Mother, I swear on my identity, I am sure!" Zhuo Ye met the Queen Mother's gaze, neither humble nor overbearing, and said very seriously.
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and then breathed out faintly: "With your words, the Ai family will feel relieved." After a pause, she said to Zhuo Ye: "It's getting late, you can go back and rest..."
"Yes, the Queen Mother also took a rest earlier, and the daughter of the people took her leave." Zhuo Ye stood up and walked to the door. Suddenly he turned around and called out in a hesitant voice: "The Queen Mother..."
"Huh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyes: "Do you have anything else to say to the Ai family?"
"Your Majesty, in fact, being obsessed with things that are simply impossible to achieve will be very tiring and will make you become more extreme. Sometimes, only by letting go can you live more relaxedly and feel the happiness you already have. Then
Today, Zhuo Ye also said that you are also a blessed person..."
The topic just now involved Feng Linge's poisoning. The Queen Mother might have just dismissed the waiter out of caution. However, she also gave Zhuo Ye the opportunity to make this bold statement. Although it was not too straightforward, it was
The meaning is very clear and not easy for other people to hear.
Zhuo Ye believed that the Queen Mother would definitely understand, and she didn't want to see the Queen Mother's reaction after hearing this, so she quickly walked out of the room.
After hearing Zhuo Ye's words, the Queen Mother's expression changed. At first, she looked filled with gloomy anger, but she quickly controlled her emotions and did not have an attack.
After Zhuo Ye's figure disappeared, the Queen Mother had calmed down, and then her expression became a little dazed...
Can you live an easy life if you let go?
The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time, and finally a faint bitter smile appeared on her lips. Can she still not let go of that matter? Her two good sons are already working to suppress and deprive her of the power in her hands.
Bar……
Now, she is just an old woman trapped in a deep palace, waiting to die...
However, this life's unwillingness has been deeply planted in her heart, how can she let go...
Zhuo Ye left the Queen Mother's palace and followed the little eunuch who led the way. Not far away, he saw a figure flashing past not far away. It seemed that he even looked back at her!
It was getting dark at this time, and Zhuo Ye could only see a blurry purple figure, but it gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity...
Zhuo Ye frowned in confusion, it should be a woman, but who is it? She doesn't know many people in the palace...
All the way back to Tingfangzhai, Zhuo Ye still couldn't figure out the reason, so he temporarily put the figure behind him.
When she got up in the morning, Zhuo Ye went for a walk in the plum garden. When she reached the gate of the garden, she suddenly stopped. She remembered why she felt that the figure from last night looked familiar!
The gesture of dodging and drifting far away was exactly the same as the gesture of the palace maid who pretended to bump into her and gave her a note that day!
Zhuo Ye was shocked, how could she forget this person? Who is this person? Who instructed her to send the note to herself? What is its purpose? Could it be a conspiracy? What if the Queen Mother knew about the note?
thing, then her lies today will be exposed...
Zhuo Ye didn't care about taking a walk anymore and hurriedly returned to Tingfangzhai, dismissed several eunuchs and maids, and called Qiao Ling into the room alone.
Qiao Ling knew that Zhuo Ye had something to say to her, so she didn't ask any more questions and just waited for Zhuo Ye to speak.
"Qiao Ling, can the people in this palace find a way to investigate?" Zhuo Ye asked solemnly.
When Qiao Ling heard this, she was surprised: "Who do you want to check, girl?"
"I don't know who she is. She should be a very young girl, wearing purple clothes, with strong martial arts skills." Zhuo Ye paused for a moment, then said in a low voice: "You can go to the Queen Mother to check first."
That woman knew that someone wanted to harm Feng Linge, and she appeared near Cihua Palace last night. No matter who she was, or who the master behind her was, it was very likely that she was currently placed next to the Queen Mother.
"Purple clothes?" Qiao Ling thought as she said, "If that person wears clothes that resemble the dress of a palace maid, and is good at martial arts... she should be a palace maid of the inner palace. Ordinary palace maids don't know how to wear it.
Purple dress..."
"Oh? The palace maid?" Zhuo Ye raised his eyebrows, but the range was narrowed.
Qiao Ling continued: "If this is the maid of the Imperial Guard beside the Queen Mother, then there is no need to send someone to check. As far as I know, there are two maids of the Imperial Guard beside the Queen Mother. One is in her thirties, and her name is
Zi Li, one is about the same age as me, named Zi Su."
"That Zi Li can be ruled out." Zhuo Ye heard the voice of that person. He was very young and had a figure like a girl: "That Zi Su..."
Zhuo Ye pondered for a moment, looked for a pair of scissors, walked to the desk, cut out a strip of rice paper, and said to Qiao Ling: "Come here and write a few words for me."
No way, her calligraphy is too ugly...
Qiao Ling walked forward doubtfully, studied the ink, dipped the pen in the ink, and asked Zhuo Ye: "Girl, what do you want Qiao Ling to write?"
"On this note, write the words 'Come to me'."
"Just write these three words?" Qiao Ling asked.
"Yes." Zhuo Ye nodded.
Qiao Ling wrote as instructed, put down the pen, dried the note, and handed it to Zhuo Ye.
Zhuo Ye did not reach out to take the note, but said to Qiao Ling: "Try a way to let Zi Su see this note, but don't let her find you."
