Chapter 105 The Queen Mother's Revenge

"Mother!" Zhao Ziyi hurriedly grabbed the old lady by the arm, and asked with a serious face: "Dare to ask Eunuch Chang, what is the reason why the Empress Dowager summoned the female relatives of our house late at night?"

Facing Zhao Ziyi, Eunuch Chang became a bit apprehensive, and said with a smile: "Master Xiang, our family is just passing on a message for the queen mother, and we don't know what's going on."

While speaking, he turned around: "It's getting late, so we won't chat anymore, our family is still busy returning to the palace to return to the palace. Mrs. Zhao Sun, please."

The old lady only thought about her youngest son who was far away in Xiliang, and saw that Eunuch Chang was talking in a cloud of fog and refused to tell the truth. Also rolled down: "Is it, is it, is it the third child..."

At the end of her speech, her lips were trembling, and she could no longer utter those words.

Zhao Ziyi shook her mother's hand vigorously, and said in a clear and clear voice: "Mother, you are worrying too much. What His Majesty is most concerned about now is the war in Xiliang. If there is any problem with the third brother, it must be Cao who is next to His Majesty to send the message. Father-in-law."

Zhao Ziyi's few words reminded the old lady.

That's right, the emperor cared more about Xiliang than anyone else. If the battle there was lost, His Majesty would be the first to know about it, and as the prime minister, how could Zhao Ziyi not know.

The old lady's thoughts turned, she had stabilized her mind, and then turned her eyes to the third lady.

Seeing this daughter-in-law's face was pale, her lips were bruised, and her eyes were staring blankly ahead, she murmured: "Impossible..."

The old lady thought she was the third child who was worried about the front line just like herself, so she patted her hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, the third child will be fine."

The eldest lady and the second lady also went to help her: "Third brother and sister, you should get up first."

The third lady stood up in a daze, turned her head mechanically, and looked at Eunuch Chang.

Eunuch Chang became a little impatient, he flicked his arm, and urged, "What are you still doing in a daze? Let's go."

The old lady rushed to persuade: "Sun Shi, you can go, don't delay the time, and make the empress dowager unhappy."

The third lady suddenly came back to her senses, grabbed the old lady's hand, her eyes were full of fear: "Mother, save me, save me!"

The old lady frowned, feeling strange about her such a big reaction, but also pityed that her husband and wife separated. , Mother is waiting for you to come back."

The second wife also persuaded: "Yes, third brother and sister, you can go, didn't we all enter the palace yesterday, nothing will happen."

The eldest lady also nodded: "Third siblings, don't worry, even if there is really something, there is still our Xu family. For the sake of the eldest princess, the queen mother will not make things difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, the old lady glanced at Xu Yunjiao.

Is there such comfort?

It's fine if you don't speak up, but once you do, it scares people so much that they dare not go.

But thinking about it again, although the words are straightforward, they are not rough.The queen mother really wanted to make a fuss about the Sun family, so she counted on the eldest princess to come forward to reconcile.

Therefore, following Xu Yunjiao's words, she comforted in a gentle voice: "Go, we will take care of you if you have something to do."

Zhao Ziyi's expression was solemn: "Third siblings, don't worry, with me as the eldest brother, I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

A few words of comfort seemed to give the third lady a dose of reassurance, and she managed to regain her composure.

"Since you're all at ease, let's go with our family." Eunuch Chang urged again.

The third lady took a deep breath, stood up slowly, bowed slightly to the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady, and said sadly and solemnly: "Then Mrs. Sun thanked the old lady, sister-in-law, Second sister-in-law."

The old lady's heart skipped a beat again, and she hurriedly held her hand: "What are you doing with these polite words to your mother!"

The eldest lady also said: "Yes, thank you, we are a family, we should take care of each other."

The third lady's eyes were moist: "Mother, the two children in my house are still young, and I need you to take care of them."

The strangeness in the old lady's heart faded away again. She was worried that the child would wake up and disappear and the mother would cry, so she nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I will ask Nanny Zhou to bring the two sisters over and sleep tonight. In my room."

The third lady smiled slightly, then bowed her knees to Zhao Ziyi and saluted again, respectfully said: "Uncle, my sister-in-law will entrust everything to you."

After the ceremony, she looked around again, with deep nostalgia in her eyes, finally sighed, and followed Eunuch Chang out of the inner courtyard.

Zhao Ziyi looked thoughtfully at the figure of the third lady.

When Zhao Xiwei woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The weather was so fine that it didn't feel like winter, and the slanting sunlight left a layer of pale pink glow on the head of the bed.

With the gentle breeze, several white plum blossoms in the courtyard swayed gently, reflecting on the window screens with clear sky and water, interlaced with the rays of the sun, shining like pearls and emerald feathers.

Zhao Xi stared at the warm winter sun in a daze, but didn't react for a while.

Her whole body was sore, and it was difficult to even move her fingers.

It's like chasing prey all over the mountains and plains for a day, and when you come back, you still have to chop wood and light a fire, and take care of your mother who is sick in bed, that kind of exhausted soreness.

Her eyes were fixed on the top of the tent in a daze, when someone lifted the curtain and came in, her voice was both surprised and happy: "Miss...you, you finally woke up!"

Zhao Xiwei turned her head slowly, saw tears in the corners of Jinxiu's eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "You're awake..." She hurriedly poured a cup of tea, "Miss, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Zhao Xiwei leaned on the big welcoming pillow, was served by Jinxiu and drank half a cup of warm water, and gradually recovered his sanity.

And Jinxiu's words came to my ears clearly: "Miss, you fell into the water in the palace, and you came back unconscious, feverish and talking nonsense... In the past two days, the third wife was arrested and imprisoned. I don't know yet. When can I come out..."

She didn't pay attention to the previous chatter, only the last sentence, like a thunderbolt, made her sit up immediately: "What did you say? The third lady was arrested and put in prison? What crime did she commit?"

Jinxiu sighed, her eyes full of worry: "It's the person who was arrested by Hu Cao, who said that there is something wrong with the third wife's household registration, and also said... said..."

Hearing Jinxiu's hesitant words, Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat, and those suspicions suddenly emerged, causing her to suddenly grab Jinxiu's hand: "What did you say?"

Jinxiu shook her head: "I don't know the maidservant too well, I only heard that the third lady has a relationship with Le Fang actor..."

"Having contacts with Lefang actors"

Zhao Xiwei read these words silently, and suddenly realized!
No wonder the Empress Dowager specially invited a luthier for a banquet, and repeatedly asked the third lady if she understood music theory!
