"It's you again?!" The arrogant woman was furious when she saw Luo Junyao and stared at her coldly.
Luo Junyao helped Zhu'er stand up, and then said slowly: "Madam, it doesn't seem right to hurt others casually, right?"
"What does it have to do with you?" the woman said, "Do you really think that with the favor of the Queen Mother, you can reach heaven in one step? Don't forget, the king has the final say in this palace!"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Oh? In that case, I am going to see the queen. Why don't you come with me, madam? Let's go to the queen to judge?"
The woman's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she said with some embarrassment: "Who wants to judge with you? Mind your own business!" After saying that, she glared at the two of them fiercely, and then swaggered away with her people.
"Thank you so much, Miss Chu Chu." Zhu'er came back to her senses and said gratefully.
She knew that if this Chu Chu girl hadn't helped her in time, she might have hit her head directly when she fell to the ground.
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Madam, there is no need to be polite. I just happened to help you. Do they... often bully you?"
Pearl smiled, shook her head and said, "No, she's just been in a bad mood these past two days."
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows in surprise, but in this short period of time, this girl had really changed a lot.
Luo Junyao felt that her father and brother were really cruel. They knew clearly about the situation she might face in the Qi Clan Palace, and even knew that the Qi Clan Palace might soon cease to exist. Just to avoid offending Ji Zhan for the time being, he insisted on doing this.
Send her to the royal city of the Qi tribe.
For this reason, Xie Yan also specifically talked to the Lord of Umo City. Xie Yan felt that there was no need to sacrifice another woman, and it was unnecessary to allocate extra manpower to protect her.
It's a pity that the Lord of Wumo City still insists on this.
The Lord of Wumo City believed that if Da Sheng's plan to attack the royal city of Qi failed and there was a princess in King Qi's harem, maybe King Qi would not blame them.
The idea of the Lord of Umo City cannot be said to be completely wrong.
They didn't really surrender to Da Sheng originally, they just wanted to take the opportunity to rebel against the Qi people. It would be great if Da Sheng won, but if Da Sheng lost, they could continue to bow their heads and let the Qi people do what they wanted.
"You have offended them, so be careful in the future." Pearl reminded in a low voice.
Luo Junyao said: "I have the support of the Queen Mother, so I am not afraid. But you..."
Zhuer said: "It doesn't matter to me. In fact, apart from being a little angry, I didn't suffer any other harm. The king treats me... well." It's just that every time King Qi comes to see her, those women will bully her.
.
Fortunately, King Qi was not very interested in her, and he only sat with her twice in the past few days since entering the palace.
Zhu'er thought about her father and brother's instructions when she came to the royal city of the Qi tribe, and felt that her life could still be lived.
It's just that there is no news from the palace. I don't know what happened to the second brother?
Luo Junyao didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and said: "Ma'am, please be careful. I heard that the queen has a good character. Madam, you might as well visit the queen more often when you have time."
Pearl said: "Girl, are you going to the queen's palace?"
"Exactly."
Pearl glanced at her and said softly: "The queen is in a bad mood these days, girl, be careful."
"Thank you, madam." Luo Jun thanked Zhu'er and said goodbye to her. Before leaving, he whispered: "There is a lot of chaos in the palace during this period. Madam, please be careful and go out less. Maybe it will be better after a while."
.”
Zhu'er was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Luo Junyao a little surprised, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for reminding me, girl."
After bidding farewell to Zhu Er, Luo Junyao followed the queen's maid into the queen's palace, only to see the queen half leaning on the steps with a sick look on her face.
How many days have passed? The queen has suffered so much.
But the palace didn't seem to say that the queen was sick.
"I've met my empress."
The queen opened her eyes and glanced at Luo Junyao, and said calmly: "Miss Chu Chu is here."
Luo Junyao responded: "I heard that the Queen Mother had something to entrust to the Queen Mother, and she did not dare to work for the people around her. Chu Chu came to get it on the order of the Queen Mother." But Bai Jingrong did not tell her what it was that she wanted to get.
The queen was silent for a moment, then she chuckled and said, "That's right, I was about to send someone there."
As she spoke, the queen struggled to sit up.
Seeing that it was really difficult for her to move, and she didn't seem to be pretending to be sick, Luo Junyao couldn't help but stepped forward to help her get up.
"Queen, please take care of yourself."
The queen looked at her for a long time, then chuckled and said, "You are such an interesting girl, why did you end up in a place like this?"
"The Chu Chu family is in trouble. If the Queen Mother hadn't pulled down the curtain, she might have gone to a place like the Female Slave House to endure hardships." Luo Jun shook his head.
The queen shook her head, turned to the maid next to her and said, "Go and get my gilded box."
"yes."
The maid left in response, but after a moment she came out holding a gilt box.
The queen took the box and handed it to Luo Junyao herself, saying: "Take it back to the Queen Mother, she will understand after seeing it."
Luo Junyao responded respectfully, stood up with the box in hand, and was about to leave.
The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't you curious about what's inside?"
"Chu Chu doesn't dare." Luo Jun shook his head.
The Queen smiled and waved her hand to indicate that she could leave, "The Queen Mother has good taste."
"Chu Chu excuses himself." Luo Jun bowed and said goodbye to the queen, holding the box and exiting the queen's palace.
The queen asked her if she wasn't curious about what was inside. Luo Junyao was indeed not very curious.
Because as soon as she received the box, she noticed that there was nothing in it, it was an empty box.
The day before yesterday, Bai Jingrong gave the queen a dagger, but today the queen gave Bai Jingrong an empty box in return. I don't know what kind of riddle the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were playing.
Luo Junyao held the box and walked all the way to Bai Jingrong Palace. Before he reached the entrance of the palace, he was not surprised to be blocked by someone.
Luo Junyao looked at the person blocking him, took a step back warily, and hid the gilt box behind him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "..." The person standing in front of him watched the movements of the pretty girl in front of him in silence, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while, the man said: "Miss Chu Chu, the king has invited you."
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and said: "I am on an errand under the order of the Queen Mother, otherwise... wait until I go back and hand over the errand before I go to see the king?"
After hesitating for a moment, she added: "Is that okay?"
The man gave her a "what did you say" look.
Luo Junyao still refused to move and said, "But where is the Queen Mother..."
The man said in a deep voice: "Miss Chu Chu, the king wants to see you now. Which is more important, you can weigh it yourself."
"Oh." Luo Jun lowered his head and said listlessly to the man: "Then let's go."
Having been acting for a long time recently, Luo Junyao feels that he is almost getting used to this identity.
She is said to be Bai Jingrong's adopted daughter. Doesn't she still have no human rights in this palace?
It's enough that the mother and son are fighting for power and making everyone miserable.
Ji Zhan looked at Luo Junyao, who came in behind the guards, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had seen this girl last time and after saying those words, he originally thought that there would be some movement from this girl. Unexpectedly, this girl didn't know whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. She still followed the Queen Mother every day or hid in her room.
I was reading a book inside and squatting in the garden in a daze, with no intention of going outside to take a look.
Could it be that she really felt that the Queen Mother had a sure chance of winning and that she could sit back and relax by following the Queen Mother?
Thinking of this, Ji Zhan's face darkened.
From the beginning, he had no good impression of this girl that the Queen Mother got at random, and now he disliked it even more when he thought that this girl not only had no eyes, but no eyesight.
The Queen Mother actually wants to give this girl to him?
What kind of beauties are there in the harem?
The Queen Mother got such a girl with poor appearance and abilities, she was clearly deliberately trying to spite him!
"I have met the king."
Ji Zhan stared at her and said, "Do you know why I want to see you?"
Luo Jun shook his head honestly. Who knows? Anyway, she felt that there was something wrong with Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan.
Ji Zhan snorted coldly and said, "I don't know? It seems that you have forgotten what the king told you a few days ago?"
"I haven't forgotten," Luo Junyao retorted, saying softly: "But... the queen is my benefactor after all, and my life is now in the hands of the queen. No matter how nice the king says, if the queen wants to kill me, you still can't.
Is there no way? Just like...the two generals of the Bai Family Army."
Ji Zhan's eyes sharpened instantly, and he stared at Luo Junyao intently.
Queen Luo Junyao shrank back and whispered: "It's useless for you to glare at me, that's what the Queen Mother said."
Hearing this, Ji Zhan's eyes gradually softened. He looked at Luo Junyao and said, "What you said is not wrong, so the two generals of the Bai family army were indeed killed by Qu Fang?"
Luo Jun shook his head and refused to speak. Ji Zhan asked again: "Have you ever spoken to Qu Fang? What kind of person do you think he is?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said nothing.
Ji Zhan snorted coldly and cast his gaze on the box in her hand.
Luo Junyao quickly raised his hand to cover it, but the clothes of the Qi girls mostly had narrow sleeves, which could not cover such a large gilt box.
"Open."
Luo Junyao shook his head quickly.
Ji Zhan sneered and reached out to grab the box.
Luo Junyao held the box in his arms and stood up to run, "Your Majesty, the Queen gave this to the Queen Mother. If you want to know what it is, wouldn't it be better to ask the Queen or come with me to see the Queen Mother? Qi people
Although it is not as strict as the Central Plains ethics, there is no reason for a son to rummage through his mother's things, right?"
Ji Zhan said with a cold face: "What a loyal girl."
Luo Junyao held the box and said cautiously: "No matter what, I can't fail to do what the Queen Mother has asked me to do."
"What if I must see it?" Ji Zhan narrowed his eyes and asked.
Luo Junyao said: "Then...then me, then the king, please kill me first!"
Ji Zhan was silent for a long time, and then said coldly: "Get out!"
Luo Junyao was not surprised and rolled away happily holding the gilt box.
As soon as Luo Junyao walked out of the hall, he saw Qu Fang standing not far away, obviously waiting for her.
She immediately lifted up her skirt and ran towards Qu Fang quickly.
"Mr. Qu!"
Qu Fang glanced at him, then looked up at the palace behind him, then turned and walked directly in the direction of Bai Jingrong's palace.
Luo Junyao didn't care and quickly followed Qu Fang's footsteps.
"Mr. Qu, did I ask you to pick me up?" Luo Junyao said in an authentic voice, "Don't worry, I didn't show anything inside to the king."
Qu lowered his eyes and moved the corners of his lips slightly.
His voice seemed to be very low, but it was very clear to Luo Junyao's ears.
"Is the princess addicted to pretending?"
Luo Junyao was a little embarrassed, touched his forehead and whispered: "Mr. Qu is just laughing. I didn't expect that Mr. Qu would actually come back."
Qu Fang remained silent.
The two of them walked towards Bai Jingrong's palace in silence, one after the other.
Seeing that they were not far from the palace gate, Luo Junyao asked in a low voice: "Why is Mr. Qu coming back at this time?" If Qu Fang came to help them as an undercover agent, Luo Junyao would never believe it.
.Not to mention that Qu Fang is not capable of such a thing at all. Now that she is by Bai Jingrong's side, the value of a top master like Qu Fang outside is much higher than staying by Bai Jingrong's side.
Qu Fang said calmly: "I know some old things from back then."
Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly and looked at Qu Fang in surprise.
Qu Fang said: "Don't worry, I won't reveal anything about you and the regent."
"Even if Mrs. Rong is completely defeated because of this?" Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows.
Qu Fang lowered his eyes and said, "Now that things have happened, does she still have a chance of winning?"
Bai Jingrong felt that Qu Fang didn't understand this. It wasn't that Qu Fang didn't understand, he just didn't want to participate.
What Qu Fang admired about Bai Jingrong back then was her arrogance and ambition that were higher than most men in the world. After so many years, Qu Fang has already understood that Bai Jingrong was destined to fail from the beginning.
This world is too harsh on women, and Bai Jingrong took the wrong path from the very beginning.
But even so... Qufang still has to fulfill the promise he made back then.
He will protect her until the end.
Luo Junyao also fell silent. She admired Bai Jingrong's ambition and perseverance, but it was a pity that they were not the same person from the beginning.
While talking, the two of them had already reached the palace gate.
Bai Ning had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the two people approaching, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Your Majesty, please ask Mr. Qu to come over and speak." Bai Ning said respectfully.
Then he said to Luo Junyao: "Chu Chu, the empress said that you have worked hard and asked you to go back and rest first. Just give me the things."
Luo Junyao handed over the things without hesitation and said with a smile: "Then there is Sister Lao Baining."
Bai Ning took the box and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go."
Seeing Luo Junyao walking briskly inside, Bai Ning couldn't recover for a moment.
This girl has a big heart.
She had just been summoned by the king to speak, and she went back without hesitation. Was she really not afraid that the queen would be suspicious of her?
Qu Fang was still standing aside, and Bai Ning didn't have to think too much.
He turned to Qu Fang and said, "Mr. Qu, please."
Qu Fang glanced at her, nodded, and walked inside first.
