"Your Majesty, do you think I'm a little cruel and ignorant?"
Xiao Mingxuan reached out and took her into his arms.
"Fool, people who understand the general situation will only make themselves wronged."
"If you want to avoid being bullied and retaliate in kind, why bother being bound by those damn rules."
Luo Jiuli snuggled into his arms and smiled happily.
"Your Majesty's ideas are quite avant-garde."
"What ideas? What avant-garde?"
"nothing."
Luo Jiuli snuggled into his arms.
When Xiao Mingxuan saw her furry little head burrowing into his arms, all his doubts were melted away, and his arms hugged her tighter.
However, Luo Jiuli, who was nestling in his arms, had no idea that she had the intention to murder the Queen Mother, and that the Queen Mother also had the intention to murder her.
——
At the same time, in the Changchun Palace.
All the palace maids on the left and right had been sent out. Except for the Queen Mother who had just woken up in bed and Concubine Hu who was sitting beside the bed, only a cold and ordinary-looking palace maid was left to wait on her.
"aunt."
When Concubine Hu saw the Queen Mother opening her eyes, she was choked with tears.
The Queen Mother was originally so angry with the Emperor, Xiao Mingxuan, and Luo Jiuli that she woke up and was crying again. She was so upset that she wanted to yell at her to shut up.
But when she thought about it, she had just lost her biological father and brother, and she felt so sad that she didn't care about it.
"Stop crying, the Ai family is not dead yet."
Opposite the bed, the cold-looking and ordinary palace maid knelt down and kowtowed respectfully after seeing the Queen Mother wake up.
But at the moment when he lowered his head completely, a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
"Spiritual girl, please see the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed and safe."
The Queen Mother waved her hand.
"Get up."
The maid who called the spirit girl stood up.
"Spirit Girl, I have met the imperial concubine."
The spirit girl nodded.
"After I learned that Luo Jiuli had left Changchun Palace, I woke up the imperial concubine."
However, before she could introduce herself, the Queen Mother was so angry that she fell unconscious and was carried in by Chongyang Marquis.
"Aunt, she is——"
She knew almost all the maids from Changchun Palace, but she had never seen this strange face before.
"Spirit daughter, please see the noble concubine."
The spirit girl salutes.
The Queen Mother suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a calm tone:
"She is the person that the Ai family asked Marquis Chongyang to find a few months ago."
Concubine Hu seemed to be recalling what happened a few months ago, and her face gradually became filled with anger as the memory came back to life.
"Are you the spirit snake Gu girl?"
His tone was unkind, his brows were furrowed, and there was no smile at all.
The spirit girl nodded and said generously:
"Exactly."
When she nodded in recognition, Concubine Hu's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness.
"Aunt, I can't keep this person, she--"
"Aijia knows what you are going to say?"
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hu with a calm expression.
"Are you trying to say that Yan Tinglian, who harmed King Zhao, was her disciple, and that she indirectly harmed King Zhao?"
Concubine Hu said nothing, but looked at the spirit girl with an obviously unkind look.
The spirit girl smiled and raised her hand to touch her face.
Then with a twitch of his fingers, a human skin mask was pulled off, and behind the mask was a pretty face that was young and beautiful.
"you--"
Concubine Hu was quite shocked and incredulous.
"Aren't you Yan Tinglian's master? How could it be? How could it be--"
The spirit girl smiled and took over the conversation.
"How come you are so young? Is this what the imperial concubine wants to ask?"
Concubine Hu said nothing, obviously she really wanted to ask this question.
"My dearest concubine, although I am a spirit snake Gu girl, Yan Tinglian is not my disciple. She is just an outside disciple taken in by my master."
"I just didn't expect that she would dare to come to the Changning Dynasty to cheat by taking advantage of Master's reputation. If she hadn't been lucky enough to die first, I would have made her life worse than death."
Concubine Hu was stunned.
"Your master?"
"Exactly."
The spirit girl nodded.
"Master passed away two months ago and passed on the position of Spirit Snake Gu Girl to me. Now, I am the new Spirit Snake Gu Girl."
Her explanation made Concubine Hu feel somewhat relieved.
"But after all, you are not from the Changning Dynasty, so it is still inconvenient for you to be in the palace."
When the spirit girl heard what Concubine Hu said, the corner of her lips curled up in an evil way.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am a member of the martial arts world. I don't engage in any small business, nor am I an idiot like Yan Tinglian. I will help anyone who gives me more money."
The implication is that she is not a masterpiece from Sang Nanguo.
"Okay! The Ai family has already investigated her matter."
The Queen Mother finally opened Chrysostom.
"Lingnu, did you see Luo Jiuli just now?"
The spirit girl nodded.
"He is a shrewd master who is difficult to deal with, and the Nine Kings are very vigilant."
"Well, she didn't drink the cup of tea, and she didn't come into the bedroom. This time the plan failed."
When the Queen Mother thought of what had just happened in the palace, her annoyed brows and eyes were full of anger.
She originally wanted to sacrifice Luo Jiuli's life today to pay homage to her brother and nephew, but she let Luo Jiuli escape.
Damn it, really damn it.
If he knew that the result would be like this, it would be better to send someone to intercept him halfway.
But now she has another thing to do.
"Your Majesty, go change into plain clothes and accompany the Ai family back to Sima Mansion."
——
Xiao Mingxuan originally wanted to send Luo Jiuli back to the palace, but for some reason, he felt quite uneasy after coming out of the palace.
"Qin Yin, return to the palace."
"yes."
Qin Yin, who was driving the car, turned in another direction.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the Duke's mansion?"
Xiao Mingxuan held her hand with one hand, lifted the curtains of the car with the other, looked at the deserted street, and did not express the uneasiness in his heart.
"You will stay in the palace for the next few days."
Luo Jiuli frowned.
"The Queen Mother should not be so blatant."
In fact, she also knew in her heart that the Queen Mother summoned her today because she must have hidden dirty thoughts.
"in case."
Xiao Mingxuan lowered the curtains of the car and looked back at Luo Jiuli.
"I can't risk your safety on the Queen Mother's conscience."
"Both Hu Jue and Hu Hongzhi died. The Queen Mother's calmness was so unusual."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he knew that what he said was the truth.
"When a person becomes calmer the more she faces the changes that come one after another, I'm afraid that her heart has collapsed at this time."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so angry that she passed out after we left."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"The current Queen Mother is very dangerous."
"What's more, your father is investigating the case of Sima Mansion, and your eldest brother -"
He stopped talking.
Luo Jiuli's expression tightened and he quickly grabbed his hand.
"What's wrong with my eldest brother? Your Majesty, if you don't speak half-heartedly, you'll scare people to death."
Xiao Mingxuan didn't expect her to be so mentally sensitive, so he laughed and said:
"Don't worry, your eldest brother is fine? It's just that the emperor and I discussed yesterday to let your eldest brother take over Hu Hongzhi's position as commander of the imperial army."
