After the queen met Su Luo and the others, she took a nap. She slept for less than half an hour when she was woken up by her nanny: "The queen, Mr. Wu, has entered the meeting hall."
The queen suddenly woke up and ordered: "Hurry up and order people to go and watch in front of the meeting hall. If you see that your majesty has sent a chamberlain to Shuya Palace, then come over and report it to me. I will go and have a look in person."
What will happen to Concubine Shen Shu? I'm afraid that before she is proud enough, she will fall to the bottom again, and this time she will have to take her son with her."
Seeing the rare hint of joy on the Queen's face, Mammy responded: "Yes, I'll go make arrangements right now."
The queen no longer wanted to take a nap anymore, so she ordered someone to wait on her and got up. After getting dressed neatly, she sat quietly on the chair and waited, just waiting for the person who had sent the message to come back before she could get up.
After waiting for about half an hour, the person who delivered the message hurried back.
Perhaps because he ran too hastily, the waiter kept breathing heavily and couldn't even say a complete sentence. The queen was also a little anxious, so she simply ignored him, stood up and ordered her nanny to help him.
Okay, ready to go to Shuya Palace.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the palace, the chamberlain hurriedly said: "The Queen, not Concubine Shen Shu, the Queen..."
The Queen was stunned for a moment, paused in her steps, frowned and turned back, with a bit of doubt in her eyes, "Not Concubine Shen Shu? What do you mean?"
The chamberlain quickly said: "Master Wu asked his servant to tell the Queen, but it failed."
"What?" The queen's face was a little stiff, "Failed? What happened?" The voice also turned cold.
The chamberlain knelt on the ground and said softly: "Master Wu said that he was reporting to your majesty about the stone tablet. When your majesty heard about the birth date on the stone tablet, his face suddenly changed color. He was about to send Concubine Shen Shu and King Qi to ask questions.
At that moment, Mr. Li Qianmo from the Criminal Department suddenly walked in in a hurry."
"Li Qianmo? Isn't he one of Concubine Shen Shu? What are you doing here?" The queen frowned, feeling a bit of a bad premonition in her heart.
The chamberlain quickly continued the report: "Master Wu said that Li Qianmo came to report to Your Majesty that an old craftsman in Jincheng who was good at carving died."
"Why should the old craftsman die and report to Your Majesty? The Yamen can investigate the case..." The queen was a little unhappy.
"It just so happened that Li Qianmo said that a piece of paper was found in the dead old craftsman's house. The words written on it were the words that caused a lot of uproar in Jin'an and Jincheng in recent days.
The words on the stone tablet." The chamberlain lowered his head, his voice slightly trembling.
A look of surprise flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she pondered for a moment before saying, "Could it be that old craftsman..."
The chamberlain quickly responded: "Yes, that old craftsman is exactly the one we are looking for."
When the queen heard this, her face became very ugly. She had always felt that placing the stone tablet in Jin'an Town would make people think that this matter had nothing to do with her or the inner palace.
, but did not expect that something went wrong with the old craftsman: "What's going on? Didn't I specifically ask you to deal with the old craftsman? Do you have to do it cleanly? Why did you put that paper
Did you stay in the old craftsman's house?"
The waiter responded hurriedly: "The servants must have done it very cleanly before. Lord Wu said, the place where Li Qianmo found the paper was on the table. If there is such a conspicuous place on the table, we will
It must be visible. We checked many times and never found any paper on the table..."
There was a bit of coldness in the Queen's eyes, "You mean, someone went to the old craftsman's house after our people?"
"Exactly...exactly." The waiter lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
"Not many people know about this matter, how could something like this happen?" The queen sneered and said, "There must be a traitor among the killers sent. All the killers sent will be dealt with."
The waiter responded and knelt on the ground with his head lowered.
The queen was silent for a long time, and then said again: "Besides that paper, what else did Li Qianmo find?"
"Master Wu said that Li Qianmo sent people from the Criminal Department to search for the old craftsman's neighbors. A middle-aged man said in his confession that he had seen a man come to look for the old craftsman, and the man had no beard on his face and his voice was a little...
He is sharp and likes to look at orchid fingers. Looking at that, he is most likely a chamberlain in the palace."
The queen's hands suddenly tightened in her sleeves, and after a long while she sneered and said: "Good for you, Concubine Shen Shu, and good for you, Li Qianmo! Excellent!"
"Master Wu said that His Majesty ordered a strict investigation into this matter..." The chamberlain's voice became even lower.
"Then why don't you hurry up and order people to deal with all the traces? There are so many servants in the palace, and I don't believe that she can find out who is responsible for me." The queen's eyes were full of anger, and she sat down on the chair, holding her hands tightly.
Hold the armrests of the chair.
The waiter responded quickly, bit his lip, and retreated hastily.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this queen has already planned her coming out of the cold palace." The nanny beside the queen said softly.
"It has been planned for a long time." The queen fell silent, and after a while she leaned on the chair with some frustration, and said with a cold smile: "I was negligent. I knew before that Concubine Shen Shu, the seventh prince, and the eldest princess all joined forces.
Look up, although the eldest princess is like a mouse crossing the street now, she must have some ability to avoid His Majesty's wanted wanted for so long. Even the secret guards couldn't find her through a carpet search. Not to mention the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince
He looks weak, but he hides it deeply."
"Looking at it this way, I really need to take a long-term approach." The queen raised her hand and gently rubbed her painful temples, but did not speak for a long time.
The nanny continued: "I feel that Concubine Shen Shu came out of the cold palace so quickly, and she has a lot to do with Prince Qi. Moreover, the Seventh Prince is at the border now, and there is still no news about Prince Rui's disappearance.
, but the King of Qi is in Jincheng, if there is any slight movement, and those who take advantage of it will become Concubine Shen Shu and the King of Qi."
The queen turned around suddenly: "You mean Concubine Shen Shu and Prince Qi want to rebel?"
The nanny was silent for a long time before she responded: "I just feel that if King Qi has such thoughts, now is the best time. And now that Concubine Shen Shu has come out of the cold palace, if the mother and son have a
The inside should be combined with the outside, so it’s really hard to guard against it.”
The queen was suddenly startled. The more she thought about it, the more she realized it was very possible. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that this matter was too dangerous.
"No, I have to report to Your Majesty." The Queen couldn't sit still.
The nanny quickly grabbed the queen's sleeve and said, "Mother, we don't have any evidence now. If we go there rashly like this, I'm afraid it will only anger Your Majesty and make Concubine Shen Shu and her son wary of us."
"What do you think, mama?" the queen said softly.
The nanny thought for a while and then continued: "I think your Majesty might as well send more people to keep an eye on the movements of King Qi and Concubine Shen Shu, mother and son. As for the palace, those who came yesterday
As a young master, it’s time for them to come forward to share favors. Now that Concubine Shen Shu and her son are in the limelight, it would be uneconomical for us to oppose them. It’s better to attack from the side and use our strategy bit by bit.
Take each other."
The queen was silent for a long time, then nodded gently, and then said softly, "In that case, let's do it according to grandma's wish. Later, grandma will personally send some good fabrics to them and let them go.
Report His Majesty's daily whereabouts to Su Luo and the others from time to time, so that they can show off their talents. As for whoever can win the Holy Grace, he can also become my right-hand man. When the time comes, there will be something for everyone.
Do your best."
The nanny quickly responded and exited the inner hall.
Not long after the nanny had retreated, a palace attendant hurried over and knelt down in front of the queen, "The queen is very happy..."
The Queen frowned. She had been in a bad mood due to all kinds of worries these past two days, but when she heard someone saying she was very happy, she felt very unhappy in her heart: "Great joy?" The Queen said.
He sneered and looked at the palace servant kneeling in front of him, "Tell me, where does this happiness come from?"
The palace man hurriedly said: "The Queen is unaware of something. Your Majesty just gave the order to come to Weiyang Palace tonight and ordered the servant to come and inform the Queen..."
When the Queen heard this, an unbelievable light flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly turned to look at the palace attendant and said, "What did you say? Is that really true? Your Majesty is really coming to Weiyang Palace tonight?"
"Yes, His Majesty just said it himself, saying that it has been a long time since he had dinner at Weiyang Palace, so I will go to Weiyang Palace for dinner today."
A smile appeared on the corner of the Queen's lips, and it seemed that for just a moment, she had returned to her original noble and dignified Queen, "Come and reward me."
The maid next to the queen quickly stepped forward and pushed a piece of gold into the hands of the palace man. The palace man quickly accepted it with a smile, said congratulations twice more, and then left.
With a long-lost smile in her eyes, the queen stood up and said: "Why don't you quickly tidy up the palace and go to the imperial garden to pick two brighter flowers and put them in the vase. Instruct the small kitchen to prepare some sour bamboo shoots.
Your Majesty likes to eat. If the nanny comes back, let her come in directly first, and I will dress up again."
After a pause, he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quick, quick, let someone prepare a bowl of medicine for me. I want to drink it."
After giving many orders, the queen sat down happily, her eyes full of smiles, and she looked at the pattern of phoenix spreading its wings embroidered on the screen, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
After a while, the nanny walked in. Seeing the queen's happy face, she paused in her steps and then hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty."
The Queen came back to her senses and said repeatedly: "Get up quickly, dress me up, and do some of the more popular buns in the hair nowadays, and then bring me my new phoenix crown to wear. Today
Your Majesty will come to Weiyang Palace this evening." (To be continued)
