Thinking of the first time he went to Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, Zhenliang deliberately refused to let Zhenqi follow him this time. He looked back from time to time along the way. Sure enough, he didn't see Zhenqi, so he gradually felt relieved.
However, when she walked outside the gate of Cining Palace, she suddenly looked back and caught Zhenqi secretly following her.
Zhenqi seemed to understand the displeasure in her eyes. He saw her glaring at him angrily, smacking her lips, then turning around and carrying her, but she had no intention of leaving and going back to Qiongyu Palace.
Walking to Zhenqi's side, Zhenliang deliberately said fiercely, "Zhenqi, just wait for me here, and you are not allowed to follow me. Otherwise, I will give you away tomorrow. Do you understand?"
Being threatened by his master, Zhenqi let out a slight "ouch" in dissatisfaction, and turned his back to Zhenliang, as if he wanted to look at her but didn't dare to look at her. That pitiful look made Zhenliang almost lose his power.
laughing out loud.
After all, Zhenqi is not a sensible person. In order to fear that it would follow Cining Palace again and make the Queen Mother unhappy, Zhenliang simply let Jinye look at Zhenqi.
Although Jin Ye is no longer afraid of the real wonder, he still has no confidence in seeing it.
So, Jin Ye said with a sad face, "Madam, what will happen if Zhenqi disobeys me?"
Zhenliang naturally understood what Jin Ye meant. After thinking about it, he pointed at the belt tied around Jin Ye's waist and said, "Take it off."
The palace maid's outfit Jin Ye is wearing today has the function of tightening the waist. The belt tied around the waist is only for decoration and there is no harm in taking it off.
After Jinye obediently handed the untied belt to Zhenliang's hand, Zhenliang squatted down and smiled slyly at Zhenqi, "Zhenqi, stay with Jinye obediently, otherwise, from now on, I will
How about I tie you up with this belt?"
Zhenqi didn't know whether he was frightened by her cunning eyes or whether he really understood her words. He couldn't help but step back on his four feet and his eyes trembled.
"Want to run away? It's too late." Zhenliang hugged Zhenqi's head and tied the belt around its neck, not so tight that it suffocated, but not so loose that it could escape.
After tying it, Zhenliang handed one end of the strap to Jin Ye, "This should be enough to see, right?"
Jin Ye nodded with some relief, "Yeah."
Zhenliang touched Zhenqi's head and said softly, "Zhenqi, I'm doing this for your own good. You have to listen to Jinye."
This time, Zhenqi seemed to be angry. He neither showed fear nor appeared to please the cute ones, but gave Zhenliang a hard roll of his eyes.
Zhenliang patted Zhenqi's head gently and walked towards Cining Palace with Tieye.
Although Zhenqi is more understanding of human nature, smarter and more agile than ordinary dogs, in the deep palace where dangers are everywhere, Zhenliang feels that she should be more careful and try to avoid losses. Since the Queen Mother hates Zhenqi so much, she must never let Zhenqi go again.
A strange appearance in Cining Palace may cause trouble and may even lead to death.
After Zhenliang's figure disappeared, Zhenqi's eyes gradually retracted and slowly fell on Jinye.
Jin Ye became more and more panicked by Zhenqi's cold eyes. He lowered his head and tightened the belt in his hand and said, "Zhenqi, don't look at me like this. I really do this for your own good. Wait.
When the queen comes out, I will let you go, okay?"
Zhenqi's glare at Jin Ye remained unchanged, as if he wanted to use this method to glare at her until she gave in.
At the same time, Zhenqi's body began to struggle, trying to get rid of the belt around his neck.
Not long after Zhenliang entered the Cining Palace, Zhenqi began to struggle like this. Jinye secretly thought that it was not good, for fear that Zhenqi would rush into the Cining Palace and cause trouble. In desperation, Jinye ignored everything and went towards
Zhenqi rushed forward and hugged it in his arms.
The moment they hugged each other tightly, Zhenqi seemed to be frightened by Jin Ye and remained motionless.
Then, Zhenqi seemed to react and struggled desperately in Jinye's arms.
It's a pity that Jinye has already shown the courage to face death. The more Zhenqi struggles, the tighter she hugs Zhenqi.
Gradually, Zhenqi, as if due to lack of oxygen, gradually became quiet after a period of unhappy whimpering.
Its eyes were still wide open, but its expression was not as fierce as before, and instead looked a little dull.
Zhenliang originally thought that she would see the Queen Mother after entering the palace, but unexpectedly, Eunuch Xue, who was beside the Queen Mother, offered tea and said, "Concubine Liang, please wait a moment. Hongjuan is rubbing the Queen Mother's shoulders. She will be fine in a moment."
But when Zhenliang drank a cup of tea, there was still no sign of the Queen Mother coming out. Unknowingly, after more than half an hour passed, the Queen Mother was still silent. Zhenliang couldn't help but want to ask Eunuch Xue, how many shoulders does this Queen Mother have?
As the Queen Mother is an elder, Zhenliang can't rush her in such a short period of time, so she can only suppress Zaohuo's temper and wait obediently.
Eunuch Xue, who was waiting by the side, looked at her questioningly several times, but he smiled and said nothing, without any explanation or intention to urge her.
Zhenliang thought, did the Queen Mother deliberately embarrass her?
People's patience can be dispensable, more or less, but it should be dedicated to those who are worthy of it. When Zhenliang felt that his patience with the Queen Mother had been exhausted and that it had exceeded the limit, he stood up suddenly and said nothing.
Walk outside the palace.
"Empress Liangfei——" Tie Ye and Eunuch Xue were stunned. Everyone knew that the Queen Mother was deliberately putting on airs, but Empress Liangfei should never have reacted like this except to die and wait. There is no one in this palace who would not be willing to do so.
Do you want to bear the Queen Mother's anger? The more you can bear the anger, the more the Queen Mother will be satisfied with. Concubine Liang's reaction is undoubtedly detrimental to herself.
Zhenliang glanced back at Tie Ye, deliberately ignoring Eunuch Xue's presence, holding her abdomen and frowning, "I have a stomachache, please go to the toilet."
It's not that she has no rules, nor does she disrespect her elders, but the truth is - when people have three urgent needs, who can stop them?
She would not go to the Cining Palace to go to the toilet, but was going to walk slowly back to the Qiongyu Palace and use the toilet for half an hour before coming back. By then, if the Queen Mother's shoulders had not been rubbed well, she would definitely have an idea to let Xue
The father-in-law went to ask the imperial doctor to treat her.
With such calculation in mind, Zhenliang's feet were about to step out of the threshold when the empress dowager's gloomy voice came from not far behind her, "Why, does Concubine Liang suspect that the tea in Cining Palace is unclean?"
I have to say that the Queen Mother did this on purpose. She didn't come out early and she didn't come out until later. She just came out when she was about to reciprocate with her. Obviously she didn't want her little scheme to succeed. She really had ulterior motives and was extremely treacherous.
Zhenliang couldn't help but find it funny. If this old witch had known that the stimulation method was effective, she could have complained that her stomach hurt and needed to go to the toilet after drinking a cup of tea.
"Haha," Zhenliang turned around helplessly, slowly knelt down and saluted.
"Plain body."
This time, Zhenliang really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would get her up so quickly. She looked at herself with a hypocritical face and said with a half-smile, "Concubine Liang, go to the toilet. The Ai family is waiting for you."
