As for Concubine Lan, who said she wanted to see her, she didn't even see her.
And what she saw was the Queen Mother whom she least wanted to see.
The person who slapped her just now was probably an old palace maid who was close to the Queen Mother.
He came as soon as he walked in. Obviously he wanted to show off?
"I pay homage to the Queen Mother and say hello to the Queen Mother." Qu Tan'er took two steps back as if respectfully, knelt down, bowed her head to say hello, but her eyes were cold.
"How dare you resist?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Tan'er didn't mean to offend the Queen Mother. Besides, Tan'er didn't know that it was you, the old man, who was here." Qu Tan'er stood there calmly, without any panic. At this moment, she did not pretend to think about it.
People who are disadvantageous to themselves have nothing to show weakness, and they pretend to be in vain.
She would never embarrass herself if she worked hard in vain.
"Do you know why the Ai family asked you to come?" The Queen Mother stared at her coldly, with obvious anger on her face, making the atmosphere tense.
"I don't know who I am." Qu Tan'er was startled, and her sense of crisis deepened, but she still lowered her eyes gently. Sure enough, she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Then do you know what day today is?" The Queen Mother seemed to be very angry and asked word by word.
"It's the day when the great prince plans to confer the title of crown prince." Qu Tan'er's heart trembled.
Mo Liancheng didn't pay attention to the incident in Qufu that day, but that didn't mean the Queen Mother wouldn't.
"Then do you know who should have taken the crown prince's position?" the Queen Mother asked again.
"I don't know who I am."
"You don't know. If you didn't know, you wouldn't be standing here now."
"..." Qu Tan'er was silent for a moment.
"Answer what Ai Jia said." The Queen Mother became angry and slapped the table.
Answer her?
Just, what to answer?
Qu Tan'er was slightly puzzled, but she answered no, and it was no if she didn't answer. At first, the Queen Mother had long believed that she was someone sent by the Great Prince, and now it was precisely because of herself that Mo Liancheng withdrew from the battle for the crown prince. First of all,
Not to mention the Queen Mother, she would have felt that all this was a conspiracy between her and Qu Fu.
"The Ai family has warned you long ago that you will marry whomever you marry. Unexpectedly, you are picking on the outsiders and cooperating with outsiders to scheme against your husband?!"
"Queen Mother, please calm down. I have never plotted against my husband with outsiders." Qu Tan'er raised her head calmly and said directly to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother can ask the prince about what happened at that time."
"Never? You still dare to quibble?!" The Queen Mother frowned, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes instantly.
"..." Qu Tan'er closed her eyes and lowered her head, but did not answer. She knew clearly that the Queen Mother's anger was directed at her, or that the Queen Mother had never had a good attitude towards her.
At present, no matter what she says, she cannot clear the Queen Mother's doubts about herself.
There were only three people in the room, she and the Queen Mother, plus a palace maid.
Today was at the Prince's Mansion. Even if the Queen Mother had the intention to kill her, she would not choose such a time. However, it would be difficult to tell in the future.
"The Ai family wants you to leave the Eighth Prince's Mansion." The Queen Mother made it clear directly.
leave?
Qu Tan'er was slightly startled and looked at the Queen Mother in confusion.
The Queen Mother also stared at her with a majestic look on her face.
"I don't want to agree." Qu Tan'er narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Unless the prince himself tells me to leave, it will be difficult for me to obey." If he really loves her, then her leaving will undoubtedly hurt him.
Heart.
She didn't want to do anything to hurt him, even if the person she faced was the lofty Queen Mother.
