Sang Lian was chatting with the maid in the corridor, sighing from time to time: "I don't know when I can go out."
The maid immediately comforted her and said, "My lord, don't worry, wait until it's quiet outside..."
While they were chatting, Grandma Li personally came with someone. Sang Lian immediately stopped the smile on her face, pretending to be bitter and resentful, and came forward in person: "Why are you here, Grandma?"
Nanny Li glanced at Sang Lian meaningfully: "The Queen Mother asked you to go to Cining Palace."
Upon hearing that the Queen Mother was about to summon him, Sang Lian's heart sank instinctively, but her face showed no signs of it, and she nodded to her grandmother.
"Yes, I'm going to change into a set of clothes right now."
Nanny Li looked Sang Lian up and down, and immediately said: "No need to trouble me, my dear, the Queen Mother is waiting for you."
Hearing this, Sang Lian realized that something was wrong, and winked at the maid beside him, and then followed Nanny Li.
At this time, Cining Palace was immersed in solemnity, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing. Sang Lian stepped into the gate of Cining Palace and realized something was wrong.
"Where is the Queen Mother?"
She looked around and saw no one.
"Your Majesty, please wait patiently. The Queen Mother is still meditating."
How could Sang Lian dare to say no? He sat patiently on the chair. Grandma Li asked someone to bring some tea and snacks. The snacks were still steaming hot. The tea was also the top-notch Lu'an melon slices.
rare.
This kind of treatment made Sang Lian feel very upset.
She didn't dare to touch it.
This wait lasted for a full hour. During this period, Nanny Li came to change the tea several times, for fear of neglecting Sang Lian.
But she felt like a mirror in her heart, the Queen Mother did not like her.
There is a deep hatred between the two of them across a sea of blood.
"No need to bother, Nanny Li. How is the Queen Mother?"
Grandma Li smiled and said: "I had a nightmare last night, dreaming about the late emperor, so I felt a little uneasy, so I went to the Buddhist hall to read scriptures. If Mr. Yu is in a hurry, I will go and urge the Queen Mother."
Sang Lian immediately shook his head: "No need, I'll just wait, it doesn't matter."
They waited for another hour. It was almost getting dark outside, and the Queen Mother was not seen. There was only a wall between them. Sang Lian's every move fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and the murderous look in the Queen Mother's eyes was evident.
"Queen Mother, Chun'er who was with Yu Guiren contacted Xiao Lianzi in the imperial dining room after the servant left. Xiao Lianzi went to the young Eunuch Wen who was out of the palace to do some shopping and delivered the message. The servant sent someone to deliver the message to Mr. Wen.
I stopped him and pried open his mouth, he was going to deliver a letter to Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion."
"Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion?" The Queen Mother frowned, becoming increasingly puzzled.
Why is this related to Prime Minister Jiang again? How much thoughts does this woman have?
"Empress Dowager, I guess Yu Gui is trying to protect herself and wishes we could fight with King Xuan. You promised Yu Gui before that you would let her choose a child..."
Aunt Li couldn't help but remind her: "Isn't Yu Guiren chosen the prince?"
"Prince?" The Queen Mother suddenly sneered: "I really dare to think that the Ai family is showing mercy by keeping her alive. This bitch is quite restless."
Don't blame her for being cruel, Yu Guiren is no longer useful and will become a burden to herself.
So the Queen Mother decided to take action against Yu Guiren.
"Your Majesty, the tea and snacks that the slave sent over were not touched by Yu Guigui at all."
The medicine left by Princess Xuan was put into the snacks, but Yu Guiren didn't take a bite and was very vigilant.
The Queen Mother curled her lips and sneered: "The Ai family wants to give her dignity, but it's a pity that she is not satisfied with herself. Then don't blame the Ai family for being ruthless."
At the Queen Mother's signal, Nanny Li nodded and turned around and went out. There was never a shortage of concubines who died inexplicably in the harem.
Many, many accidents will happen.
"Crunch!"
Aunt Li pushed open the door again and walked in, followed by several nuns. They all looked fierce and held a white silk in their hands.
Sang Lian was dumbfounded and stared at this scene blankly.
"What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty Yu, the Queen Mother has decreed that you be buried with the late Emperor." Nanny Li nodded to the two nuns behind her: "Let's do it."
Sang Lian was panicked. Why was she executed by the Queen Mother?
"No, it can't be done. I want to see the Queen Mother. I still have something to say to the Queen Mother. I can't die."
"Yu Gui, please stop struggling and go on with dignity."
The two nuns got closer and closer, one holding Bai Ling's other end and gradually approaching Sang Lian.
…
evening
Jiang Yunxu returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion and visited the two children. He carefully examined the two little guys. The elder brother's constitution was slightly better, while the younger brother was slightly weaker. The two children did not look alike. They were sleeping soundly with their eyes closed.
His facial features are somewhat similar to those of Prince Qing.
"The two young gentlemen are eating and drinking well," said the wet nurse.
Jiang Yunxu nodded; "Take good care of me, I won't treat you badly."
No matter what the adults say, the two children are innocent, and she can't do any harm to them.
"Princess, the prince is back."
After hearing this, she immediately put down what she was doing and went to look for Chu Xuazhi. After waiting in the side hall for a while, she saw Chu Xuazhi coming in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, is there really going to be a war?"
Chu Xuanzhi nodded: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Some things must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the morale of the army will be weakened and there will be losses if this continues."
Jiang Yunxu pursed her lips. It was not like she had never thought about what Chu Xuazhi's situation would be like if King Qing ascended the throne as emperor.
Will King Qing care about brotherhood?
"Then what did Prince Qing say?" Jiang Yunxu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Xuanzhi, his heart also tightening.
Seeing the anxious look on her face, Chu Xuanzhi slowed down his voice and said a few words of comfort: "Prince Qing may not have any intention of competing for the throne. He is just forced by the majesty of the Queen Mother. He still hopes to stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
They all reached a consensus on this point.
Then Jiang Yunxu told Chu Xuanzhi what happened today.
"Yu Gui is a poisonous snake if he stays in the harem. Today, I made a plan and asked the Queen Mother to get rid of Yu Gui."
The little eunuch who came out of the palace today to deliver the note was her own arrangement before leaving, because she happened to see someone following someone secretly behind her, so she simply used a trick to get rid of Yu Guiren.
The Queen Mother is suspicious and will definitely be fooled.
"You can take care of this matter, as long as you are not in danger." Chu Xuanzhi did not take Sang Lian to heart at all.
Even mentioning this person makes me feel a little disgusted.
After Jiang Yunxu said a few simple words, Han Jiang came over to discuss the matter with Chu Xuangzhi, so Jiang Yunxu left wisely.
