The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 391

Mu Qingyu left again through the secret passage, this time, Nanny Fan and another court lady followed, while Princess Changle stayed by the empress's side.

Nanny Fan and the palace maid had long since changed their palace attire and put on the clothes of ordinary servants, obviously they had already prepared for it.

Mu Qingyu looked away from the two of them, and asked casually, "Why didn't you see the mulberry leaf and the maple leaf?"

Mother Fan said with a sullen face, "The two of them...are dead."

Mu Qingyu felt a lump in his throat and stopped talking.

The three walked out of the secret passage in silence.

Sure enough, as the empress had imagined, there were guards with swords everywhere in the palace.

Nanny Fan was familiar with the terrain in the palace, so she led Mu Qingyu to avoid it in advance.

The three of them walked slowly to the entrance of the Hall of Great Harmony, and there were several teams of guards outside the Hall of Great Harmony, all of them vicious, and the swords in their hands glowed with a ruthless cold light.

Mu Qingyu's heart turned cold, no wonder the imperial concubine refused to let any guests leave.Seeing King Xian's posture, the palace tonight will definitely be stained with blood.

In the past, the virtuous king was checked and balanced by the first emperor and the first prince, and he had to pretend to be approachable, honest and benevolent in front of others.

Now that no one can threaten him, his true nature will be exposed.

If such a villain ascends to the throne, it will be a catastrophe for the common people of Liming.

Mu Qingyu glanced at the Hall of Great Harmony, thinking of the relatives and friends inside, he couldn't help hugging the box in his arms tightly.

Mother Fan beckoned for Mu Qingyu and the maid to follow.

The three of them chose a path that few people walked, avoided the guards all the way, and finally arrived at the palace gate.

The three of them didn't dare to get too close, and if they took a look from a distance, they could see that the gate of the palace was tightly guarded, and not a single fly could fly out.

Now even Nanny Fan has nothing to do.

"Nurse, is there any other way out of the palace?" Mu Qingyu asked softly.

Nurse Fan frowned, thinking about it carefully.

The maid suddenly remembered something, and said: "Second Miss, Mother Fan, this servant once heard from the maid of the Eastern Palace that the Crown Prince secretly opened a door in the Eastern Palace in order to go out to play, and almost no one knew about it. Presumably, the virtuous king did not know about it." will know."

Seeing a glimmer of life, Mu Qingyu and Mother Fan's eyes lit up.

Mother Fan hurriedly asked, "Do you know where that door is?"

The maid said truthfully: "I don't know, but I know many maids in the East Palace. You can go and ask."

Nurse Fan's complexion became ugly again, it would take a lot of time to ask this question.

Mu Qingyu made a decisive decision, "Let's go to the East Palace."

She didn't want to delay for a moment, so she hurriedly instructed the maids to go to the East Palace, and Nanny Fan had no choice but to follow quickly.

In the Hall of Great Harmony, those ladies and ladies could hardly stand it any longer, and even drowsy after drinking some wine.Especially the old lady, who is even more spiritless.

Ladies and gentlemen who can't hold it anymore, go together with three or five people to bid farewell to the imperial concubine.

But the imperial concubine refused to let her go.

"It's a rare get-together, what are you doing going back so early? There are desserts prepared in the imperial dining room, you all have a taste." The imperial concubine laughed.

"Ma'am, we really can't eat anymore."

Feng Rong said in a bad tone: "What? You don't even like the royal cook? Or do you say you don't like the imperial concubine and the virtuous king?"

As soon as he said this, those few people couldn't refute it, so they had to return to their seats in despair.

Mu Qingqiu and Guo Nian'er fought countless times, their eyes were dim with tears, and they just wanted to have a good sleep.

"Grandma, when can we go back?" Guo Nian'er asked wearily.

After asking, she didn't hear Mrs. Mu's answer, so she looked towards Mrs. Mu.

Mrs. Mu was staring in the direction of the entrance of the main hall, her face was serious, her eyes were full of vigilance.

Guo Nian'er rarely saw Mrs. Mu showing such an expression, and cautiously called out, "Grandmother? Are you okay?"

Mrs. Mu withdrew her gaze, and when her eyes fell on Guo Nian'er's face, she smiled a little, "I'm fine, if you're sleepy, just squat on the servant girl for a while."

"Mother, this is not a solution," Fang said with her arms around Mu Qingqiu, "They are all too sleepy, how long will the imperial concubine keep us?"

"Hush." ​​Mrs. Mu stretched out a finger and stroked her lips.

The others didn't know what to say, and when they wanted to ask again, Mrs. Mu had already looked away.

Those few people had no choice but to stop talking, and did not mention going back.

Mo Zhu was also constantly looking towards the entrance of the main hall, not knowing when Mu Qingyu would be back.

Perhaps because of Mu Qingyu's absence, Sui'er became more blatant, so she stood beside Mu Qingxue and waited on her attentively.

Mo Zhu saw it in his eyes, just pretending he couldn't see it.

Under the order of the imperial concubine, another batch of desserts came to the imperial dining room, and the guests had no choice but to use their chopsticks to eat a few mouthfuls, but the yawns kept coming and going, without stopping for a moment.

In the queen's bedroom, Princess Changle was also yawning.

"Queen, I'm so sleepy." Princess Changle rubbed her eyes.

The empress was sitting upright, and said after hearing the words: "Wait a little longer, Changle, will you blame the empress?"

"Ah? The queen mother is so kind to me, why should I blame the queen mother? The queen mother said that I will be involved in danger tonight?" Princess Changle put her arms around the empress's waist, "No matter what happens, Changle will be with the queen mother .”

The empress sighed faintly, and raised her hand to touch the top of Chang Le's head.

Everything that happened today was caused by her alone.

She doesn't regret poisoning the late emperor's meal, the only thing she regrets is not taking good care of her son, and now she puts her daughter in danger.

But she had no other choice.

If Changle is sent out, Changle still doesn't know how many disasters he will face.Only by keeping Changle by her side can she rest assured.

The mother and daughter sat with their arms around for a while, and there was a little movement outside.

The empress shivered, the moment had finally arrived.

She pushed Changle away, straightened her skirt and cuffs, and said: "Changle, you go inside."

"Mother..."

Her voice became more serious, "Go!"

Changle had no choice but to go to the inner room.

She withdrew her gaze from Chang Le's back, and the person who broke in from outside finally came in.

The eunuch serving in the queen's palace quickly ran in and knelt down in front of the queen, "Mother, His Royal Highness the King Xian has come in, and the slave can't stop him!"

"It's okay." The empress looked calm, and her eyes fell on the door.

King Xian was surrounded by left and right, and walked in step by step with a smile on his face.

"I send my respects to the Queen Mother," Xian Wang bent down, "It seems that the Queen Mother is well, and the Queen Mother should preside over the flower viewing banquet tonight."

The empress smiled back, "The imperial concubine can bear the heavy responsibility, it is enough for her to sit there."

"The queen mother is right," King Xian spread his hands, "then ask the queen mother to hand over the thing."
