The Queen Mother thought about it, yes, how could such a serious and responsible girl not come?
Her heart was burning. Although this girl didn't let her eat enough and was very strict, it was all for her own good, and she could feel her intentions.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother had a thought in her mind and hurriedly got up and went to the dining place: "If there are any fried fruits, let the Ai family take a bite first."
The less I can eat, the more I miss it.
The Queen Mother did not eat the fried fruit. She was always thinking about it. She had been thinking about it all day yesterday. She seemed to be thinking about it in her dreams, but she didn't show it when Lihua was around.
Now, while no one was around, the Queen Mother wanted to take a bite secretly, otherwise she would have to worry about it until she was fully recovered before she could eat it.
Nanny Qin was stunned for a moment. She had never seen the Queen Mother so anxious because of her stuttering.
She reacted and quickly dissuaded her: "Empress Dowager, Master Wu said that fried fruits are not easy to digest and will cause abdominal distension if eaten, so you can't eat them yet."
The Queen Mother endured the soreness of her legs and feet and walked in a hurry: "The Ai family understands, the Ai family knows, the Ai family just takes a bite, not much use, it doesn't matter."
Nanny Qin followed her and had to change her advice: "My Lady, today we have prepared meals according to the recipes given by Master Wu. We have not prepared any fried fruits. There are no ready-made ones."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but stop in great disappointment, wondering why it was so difficult to eat fried fruits.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she calculated that according to the time when the pear blossoms came yesterday, there would still be quite some time left.
So he rekindled his hope, waved his hand and said: "It's still early for Li Ren to come, go and do some things quickly, remember, put things away after doing them, and don't let Wu Yatou find out."
Nanny Qin still wanted to persuade the Queen Mother to be patient.
The Queen Mother was not happy and wanted to urge people to go.
But at this moment, faint voices of conversation could be heard outside the hall:
"The Queen Mother has gotten up and freshened up?"
"Yes, your Majesty got up early today. Master Wu, please come this way."
"Thank you very much. How do you feel, your Majesty?"
"It's very good. Master Wu, we are about to arrive, so I won't say more. You will know for yourself when you see it."
"So, thank you Aunt Qiuyan."
Who are Lihua and Qiuyan?
The Queen Mother didn't expect someone to arrive so early, which immediately shattered her plan. Fortunately, she didn't eat, otherwise she would have been embarrassed if she was caught on the spot.
She quickly straightened her appearance and pretended to be fine, which made Nanny Qin laugh for a while.
The Queen Mother held Feng Yi and looked at the entrance of the palace with a smile, as amiable as before: "Girl Wu is here, why is it so early today?"
Lihua slowly stepped into the palace and bowed with a smile on her face:
"Empress Dowager, didn't you say yesterday that the sun was a bit harsh for your walk? I couldn't bear that you were working too hard, so I thought of coming earlier. Now this is the perfect time to exercise. From now on, we will all start at this time. What do you think?
"
The smile on the Queen Mother's lips suddenly became extremely stiff, and there was a roar in her head.
It's good that she's afraid of the sun, but did she say that?
It seems... there seems to be. Did he say it when he was applying it on his face or when he was getting a massage to relax? She couldn't remember clearly.
But at that time, she was just complaining unconsciously. Who would have thought that she would be taken seriously!
The day is so long and it has to start so early?
Are you going to get up so early again?
Will you be able to sleep in and stretch your waist even more in the future?
It's over, it's over, how will we live from dawn to dusk from now on...
The Queen Mother's eyes went dark, and she could only feel the faint soreness in her arms, legs, and feet. She even regretted that she got up too early today because she had known she was pretending to be asleep.
No, she shouldn't have said that yesterday.
The Queen Mother was confused and angry, and a day in dire straits officially began.
By the time the Queen Mother finished a set of warm-up exercises, she was already sweating profusely and hungry. She was too lazy to think about anything but to rest and eat.
What, there is also the matter of the palace concubine coming to pay her respects?
What are you asking for? Her arms were tired, her legs were tired, her feet were tired, and her whole body was tired. She didn't have the extra energy to see anyone, so she just went back.
The palace concubines were confused. They dressed up and went to Zhuangning Palace, but they were kicked back as soon as they arrived. They were all confused.
A servant of an unknown concubine came in a hurry and exclaimed: "The young eunuch from Tingliyuan has gone to the punishment department."
The first concubine was concerned: "Has Lu Jieyu been released?"
The slave's face looked as if it was impossible: "No."
The concubines looked at each other in shock. The little eunuch of Cangchen Palace was indeed invincible. Jieyu was sent in without any reason and could not come back for the whole day.
Another palace concubine asked the servant: "Where are they now?"
The servant said: "They should still be in charge of the punishment department. I watched where they were going and listened to them talking to each other about the common rules in the palace and how they should be punished. It seemed..." Review them at any time to catch people's mistakes!
The palace concubines were trembling in their hearts, and they were all glad that they were not from Tingliyuan. They also wanted to watch the excitement, thinking that Wu Meiren might soon follow in Lu Jieyu's footsteps.
A brave concubine decided to go and have a look: "Let's go to Tingli Courtyard and have a look."
Take advantage of the fact that the two young eunuchs haven't come back yet to inquire about it.
They have been holding back for many days and this opportunity is rare.
To the concubines, several days had passed since Wu Fang'er's case, but there was no news at all about the results of the investigation.
At the same time, it is like an undercurrent surging under a calm lake, revealing an unusual atmosphere everywhere.
Jinghong Hall was sealed, and none of the servants inside came back.
There were two masters who were taken to Jinghong Hall for interrogation, one was Zhou Zhengyi and the other was Wu Meiren. In the end, the one who was most suspicious was released, and Zhou Zhengyi left and never returned, and the circumstances are unknown.
The most amazing thing about the whole thing is that one of Wu Meiren's slaves died, and another one immediately packed up and ran away as soon as he came back.
At the same time, Cangchen Palace immediately sent two young eunuchs to settle in Tingli Courtyard to monitor Wu Meiren almost all the time.
After that, all the palace concubines had to avoid being exposed and had no chance to approach Wu Meiren alone.
Some people have suspected that Wu Meiren used the method of abandoning the car to protect the soldiers and let the dead slave take the blame to escape. Otherwise, why would she and her slave be the only ones who were released for questioning among all the people?
The thoughtful palace concubine sent someone to find Liu Sanzi to inquire about the news.
Liu Sanzi was careless at first, but later gained benefits, and then he said mysteriously that the future life of Tingliyuan would not be peaceful.
Liu Sanzi didn't know much about the case. He was so frightened when he was interrogated. In addition, the person in charge of the Criminal Division found a bag of money from him whose origin was unknown. How could he taint his reputation by this matter?
Tell it out.
So he had an idea and picked out what Lihua said to Zhidong when he left Tingliyuan, saying that life might not be peaceful.
When the concubine heard this, she became even more suspicious. She couldn't see the whereabouts of this case and felt uneasy.
Lu Jieyu, who was now slightly involved in the case, was only briefly questioned by the person in charge of the Criminal Division, and within a few days, she was turned and sent to the Criminal Division by the young eunuch of Cangchen Palace.
The palace concubines couldn't see clearly, so they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to explore the direction of the wind and see how to act in the future.
The first person who wants to go to Tingliyuan will have the second one.
Soon, a group of palace concubines acted very quickly and decided to go to Tingliyuan to "visit" Wu Meiren.
And among this group of people, there was Chen Sisi.
