Chapter 166 The Queen Mother is that person’s descendant
She touched the two girls' hands, which were as cold as snow.
Looking at it at a glance, I saw that the slender jade fingers that used to be soaked in snow water were covered in frostbite, swollen like something, and pus was leaking out.
Mu Qingchao felt very distressed and rubbed them with his hands.
"Does it hurt?"
The two maids had already stood up. When Mu Qingchao asked, they shook their heads: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. It hurts at first, but you'll get better after you get used to it."
"But you, Queen Mother..."
Chunya looked at Mu Qingchao, who was so thin that he was reduced to a skeleton.
"I heard that the Queen Mother often can't eat? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, my appetite has indeed been a little bad recently, but it's not a big deal."
"What do you mean it's not a big deal?" Chun Ya asked anxiously: "People are like iron rice or steel, what can we do if we can't eat?"
"But what others cook is not to the Queen Mother's taste? I will go and cook it for the Queen Mother."
When Mu Qingchao heard this, he also remembered: "Speaking of which, the pigeon soup Aijia you used to make has been thinking about it for a long time."
It's rare that I'm in a good mood today, and my appetite has improved, so I'm really craving for it.
Chun Ya was very happy when she heard that the Queen Mother wanted to eat the food she cooked.
"Okay, okay, Queen Mother, please wait, I will go and do it for you right now."
"Are you too tired? Why don't you take a break and start again?"
"I won't be tired. I like to cook food for the Queen Mother." Chun Ya went to the kitchen with a smile.
At this time, Shen Muchi was standing outside Chaoyun Palace, just in time to see everything going on in the palace.
Eunuch Lu stood next to him and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, obviously he was in a good mood.
He wanted to take credit at this time and said from the side: "These two girls are really considerate. Your Majesty can rest assured that they will serve the Queen Mother from now on."
Eunuch Lu followed his thoughts and made Shen Muchi even happier.
"I knew she was just like that." Shen Muchi said, "She's so squeamish, like a cat. She loses her temper when nothing goes her way."
He said disgusting words, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Hey, little girl, aren't we all like this? The Queen Mother is like a flower, so she should be more delicate."
Shen Muchi laughed, having seen enough, turned around and returned to Fulin Hall.
Halfway through, I remembered again.
"Give me the order to send the others back to Chaoyun Palace. Everything in Chaoyun Palace will be as usual. Those who were not used to her before should be withdrawn."
"yes."

The journey from Jinling to Qinghe was not a long one, so Gao Xian worked hard and arrived at Qinghe just in time for New Year's Eve.
The Prince's Palace did not expect that such a special guest would come today.
The current old prince was once the seventh son of Prince Dun. I heard that he was also a brilliant man when he was young. When he was a teenager, he followed the great ancestor to fight in various places.
He was very worthy of the great emperor's respect at that time.
But later, without knowing what happened, he suddenly resigned and retreated to the north of Qinghe, guarding a small county, marrying a wife and having children, which lasted for decades.
There are still people in Jinling City who are sighing, saying that if Prince Qinghe had stayed in Jinling, he would be considered a genius of his generation, and he might not be less generous than the current King Wu'an.
It's a pity that the hero was short of breath after all.
Gao Xian had heard about Prince Qinghe in the past, but he felt that the rumors were probably unreliable. If he was such an incredible person, how could he live in such a remote place instead of becoming famous?
.
He probably did this deliberately because he was exhausted and was afraid of being criticized.
But when Gao Xian met the county prince himself, he realized that the rumors were true.
Counting his age, the current King of Qinghe County should be over fifty, but he walks with a graceful pace. Even though his beard and hair are gray, his energy can still be seen shining brightly.
You can imagine how handsome he was when he was young.
The Prince of Qinghe County was also very kind to the younger generation, smiling at Gao Xian with kind eyes.
He asked: "My little friend suddenly came to visit, why?"
"I was entrusted by Concubine Rong in the palace to give something to the prince."
Gao Xian said, handing over the letter in his arms.
He could see that the prince's expression seemed to fluctuate when he heard the three words "Rong Guifei", but soon turned calm again. Gao Xian was not sure if he had read it wrong.
"Your concubine..." the county prince said.
"How is she doing now? Is she okay?"
"The prince, the noble concubine... is dead." Gao Xian said.
"died?"
This time, Gao Xian saw clearly that there was a look of shock on his face.
But he disguised himself very well, as if his emotions were not easy to show in front of others.
"Ah..." At this time, the prince even laughed twice: "I haven't been to Jinling for a long time, and I have never even heard of these things."
"Yes... the noble concubine died miserably, and your Majesty didn't even tell the world." Gao Xian said.
"This letter is the last relic of the imperial concubine. She asked me to deliver it to the prince."
"Is it……"
The prince glanced at the letter in Gao Xian's hand, and the hand that took it seemed to be trembling.
However, he quickly took the letter back and hid his trembling hands behind his back so that no one could see it.
"Thank you very much, little friend." He said.
"It's getting late. Do you have a place to stay, little friend? Why don't you just stay at the Prince's Mansion? I'll have someone clean up an empty room for you."
"Yes...yes, thank you so much, Prince." Gao Xian said.
The prince simply exchanged greetings with him, told his servants to treat him well, and then went back to his room.
Gao Xian originally wanted to ask about the contents of the letter again. He respected Concubine Rong, but he had never opened the envelope after traveling a long way.
He always felt that since it was a letter to Prince Qinghe, it would naturally have to be opened by Prince Qinghe himself.
You will know if you ask then.
Unexpectedly, the county prince took the letter without even looking at it.
"What a strange person..." Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh.
But he didn't know that somewhere where he couldn't see, Prince Qinghe held the letter and sat alone in front of the lamp for a long time.
It wasn't until the princess put a piece of clothing on him that he came back to his senses.
"Prince, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early." Princess Song sat next to Prince Qinghe.
The Princess of the County does not look very beautiful, in terms of appearance, she is even inferior to the Princess of Qinghe, but she is more dignified. She wears a lotus green plum pattern robe, which makes her whole person gentle and generous.
Even the way she put the clothes on Prince Qinghe was so gentle.
"Did something happen?" the princess asked.
"It's Jing Rong who has the news." The prince said. He always had nothing to hide in front of the princess.
The Princess is known to be generous and tolerant, and everyone knows that she has a gentle temper. No matter what the Prince of Qinghe said to her over the years, she was not angry.
Therefore, there are many things that Prince Qinghe would like to discuss with his concubine.
"Jingrong? Concubine Rong? What's wrong with her?"
"Jingrong is dead." Prince Qinghe didn't know what his state of mind was when he said these four words, but he added a sentence at the end: "I just didn't expect that this matter is actually related to that person."
