There was a deathly silence in Cining Palace. No one dared to vent their anger. They wished they could stop breathing, for fear that a careless move would make the Queen Mother angry.
The guard who was hit by the candlestick was kneeling there, the blood on his head had dried, and he looked a little ridiculous.
"None of them?" He rinsed his mouth, spit out the water, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and asked slowly.
"Go back to the Queen Mother. I've searched all over the palace. I've searched all the palaces. It's true that there is none!" the guard returned with his head lowered.
"Trash!" He cursed and raised his eyes to look at the scar on his forehead, "What's going on?"
The guard hesitated for a moment, "Yes... it's Shuxiang Palace."
"Shuxiang Hall?" the Queen Mother repeated, "Have you also looked for that bitch?"
"Yes, Mrs. Yunt..." Before he could finish the last word, he immediately swallowed it after receiving a cold look, "That useless concubine went crazy again, and even hit the general with a candlestick, and then...
"
"Haha, after so many years, you are still crazy? It's good to be crazy, it's great to be crazy..." With a smile on her lips, the Queen Mother muttered to herself, as if she remembered something again, her face condensed, "What did you say?
?”
"Say...say..." Hesitating whether he should say it or not, he cautiously raised his head and glanced at the Queen Mother.
"What are you waiting for? Did your tongue get pulled out?" With a scolding, the guard shuddered. It was not a precedent for the Queen Mother to have her tongue pulled out. He immediately said neatly, "That useless concubine even called the Queen Mother by her first name, and said...
Say...what do you mean to give her child back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's face changed drastically, and even the face of Grandma Li next to her didn't look good.
"Oh, he is indeed a madman!" The Queen Mother scratched her fingers and then let go. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "What else did you hear?"
"No, no more!" Although the Queen Mother was not angry, why did she feel so frightened.
"Did you hear anything before?" she asked again.
The guard was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shook his head desperately, "No, I didn't hear anything, and I don't know anything!"
"Then the injury on your head..."
"I bumped into it accidentally!"
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "It's late, go down and get a reward and rest!"
If he was granted amnesty, he immediately retreated, his body dripping with sweat.
In this room, Nanny Li turned around and whispered, "The Queen Mother..."
"Bitch, it's been so long. It's a blessing that the Ai family didn't grant her death. She still dares to talk nonsense!" There was a sinister look in his eyes, and his hands gripped the quilt tightly.
"Queen Mother, could she be... pretending to be crazy?" She cautiously mentioned that possibility.
The Queen Mother punched her side hard, "This is what the Ai family is worried about! But after all these years, if it had been pretending, the Ai family would have noticed it long ago, and it would not be possible until now. Besides, the new emperor has been on the throne for some time.
It’s been a long time, even if she’s not really crazy, so what!”
"Having said that, it is a disaster after all. Why don't the Queen Mother just..." She made a clicking gesture and said with a sinister look on her face.
But the Queen Mother immediately objected, "No! The Ai family can never take advantage of that bitch! The Ai family wants her to be tortured slowly and let her live and suffer in this world!"
"Queen Mother..." she called out, and Nanny Li seemed a little helpless.
"Okay, stop talking!" She leaned back. Even though today was her birthday, it was a disappointment. She closed her eyes and said, "Tomorrow, you go with Ai's family to meet that crazy woman!"
I haven’t seen you for many years, Yun Qianran, and I even miss fighting with you.

She was so tired all night that Liuli slept so soundly that she didn't wake up. She was woken up by Princess Yun's prodding.
"Sneeze!" She sneezed and opened her eyes, only to see Concubine Yun holding her tail in her hand and teasing her nose. No wonder it was so itchy.
Suddenly a waterfall of sweat broke out!
"Taifei Yun, what are you doing?" She wanted to rub her nose, but she could only rub it on the bed.
"Use his spear against his shield!" she said with a slight smile.
Liuli looked at her and felt a little dazzled. She was so beautiful. What a pity for such a beauty!
"Get up, you have to find a place to stay, and then don't go anywhere! Don't come out unless I call you!" she said.
Liuli blinked, "Why?"
"Because someone will come later!" She stood up, dusted herself, turned to look in the mirror for a while, and pulled her clothes loosely.
Looking at her movements, Liuli looked puzzled, "Who wants to come?"
"You'll know when you're here!" She turned around, smiled, and pointed in the direction of the big wooden cabinet, "It's nice there, you can go in and sleep. But... maybe you won't be able to sleep!"
"It's boring!" She curled her lips and didn't want to go in.
"Do you want to die, or do you want to be comfortable?" she asked.
Listening, Liuli also felt that the situation was not that simple. Although she was reluctant, she jumped down from the bed and opened the wardrobe with her paws.
There were just a few old clothes and two sheets of tattered cotton wool inside. I frowned in disgust, but finally got in.
"Here!" Concubine Yun threw a piece of fruit in, "Let's cushion it first!"
Then, the door was closed, it was pitch dark, and nothing could be seen.
She pressed the fruit with her paws, but she had no interest in eating it. The cupboard was so stuffy that she was completely confused.
Who is coming, and who is so important?
It didn't take long for her to have the answer.
There were endless summons outside, one after another, and it was hard not to hear them. It was really a high-profile appearance.
"The Queen Mother has arrived——"
"The Queen Mother has arrived——"
Liuli couldn't help but quietly opened a gap in the wooden cabinet, a little curious about what Concubine Yun was doing.
When she opened a small gap and looked out, she was caught off guard and startled.
One eye was facing her across the wardrobe. Then, "that eye" stood up straight. Concubine Yun looked at her and said, "Don't be too curious, just stay inside!"
He closed the closet again, turned around and sat in front of the dressing mirror, put down his long black hair, and slowly combed it with a mahogany comb.
Her long hair reaches the ground, waving behind her, and she looks like a fairy or a ghost.
The Queen Mother barely stopped and walked in all the way. She had not expected her to pick her up, but she had not seen her for several years and wanted to catch up with an old friend.
"Bitch, come out and pick me up!" The voice came in before anyone entered the door, and the Queen Mother was full of anger. Today, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. She has enough capital to show off.
However, there was no response. Even though it was broad daylight, the Shuxiang Palace was as quiet as the Cold Palace, or even worse.
There will be crying and shouting from time to time in the cold palace, but here, there is no sound!
