The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

A few people walked outside, Mu Qingyu kept his head down, not saying a word.

Judging from the meaning of these two hidden guards, they wanted to wait for King Jin to come over and punish him.

As long as Jin Wang sees her disguised as a court lady, he will understand without having to check, and now he can only hope that Li Zhao will return soon.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Mu Qingyu looked up slightly, and it turned out that Xu Yuzhou had also come out.

Although the two hidden guards were directly under King Jin's orders, they still bowed slightly to show their respect when facing the famous man beside King Jin.

"Lock her up first." Xu Yuzhou ordered in a deep voice.

The two hidden guards glanced at each other and asked, "Aren't you waiting for the prince to come over?"

"The prince is at the empress dowager's side. The empress dowager's old illness has relapsed. I think the prince will not be able to come back for a while. This court lady may have accomplices. It is better to lock her up to be safe."

When the two hidden guards heard it, it was indeed the truth.

"Yes, the little ones took her to lock up."

Xu Yuzhou lowered his eyes halfway, avoiding Mu Qingyu's sight, and said, "You guys go."

The two hidden guards escorted Mu Qingyu away.

Xu Yuzhou's hands trembled slightly, and he kept staring at the backs of the three of them, but unfortunately Mu Qingyu never turned to look at him until he disappeared from sight.

Could it be that she has been disappointed in herself?

Xu Yuzhou closed his eyes and exhaled heavily.He stood at the door, waiting for King Jin to come.

*
Under the strong request and guidance of the four courtiers of the Changle School, two hidden guards had no choice but to escort Caihe to King Jin and the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was heartbroken, "Where did the Ai family treat you well? Why did you do this? What do you want to do by sneaking into the Holy One?"

Cai He had already knelt on the ground, "Servant...servant has no malicious intentions..."

"You don't have any malicious intentions? Then you still..." The empress dowager was so excited that she coughed violently again.

King Jin, who had been silent all this time, called a court lady over to give the empress dowager a favor.

He picked up the tea bowl that the Empress Dowager was drinking from just now, poured a bowl with his own hands, and delivered it to the maid, who asked the empress to drink it.

It took a long time for the Queen Mother to calm down.

She waved her hand and said wearily: "Cai He, you have disappointed Ai's family too much. Someone, lock Cai He up, and Ai's family will have another trial tomorrow."

"Queen Mother, it's better to hand over this maid to me." King Jin suggested.

He glared at the two hidden guards. Not only did these two hidden guards show up in front of everyone, but they also brought Caihe to the Queen Mother, which was really negligent of their duty.

He was moved to kill.

"She is Aijia's maid, and Aijia will take care of it herself. Aijia is really tired tonight, and I will deal with her when Aijia comes tomorrow." The queen mother was so tired that she could only sit on the maid.

"Since the Queen Mother is tired, she should take a good rest," King Jin said stubbornly, "Let me take care of these troublesome things. The Queen Mother should take good care of her injuries."

But the attitude of the queen mother was still unwilling to give in, and the two were deadlocked.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became dignified, and the maids serving inside and King Jin's hidden guards all dared not show their air, let alone try to persuade them.

I don't know how long it took before King Jin's bodyguard came in, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere.

The guard said a few words in King Jin's ear, and King Jin's expression changed immediately, and he adjusted his emotions within a few breaths, so as not to let others see the abnormality.

King Jin looked at the Queen Mother's stubborn expression again, which coincided with the willful and romantic little girl in his memory.

King Jin hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Then it will be as the queen mother wishes, you two, help the queen mother lock up this court lady."

"Yes." The two hidden guards agreed yes, and escorted Caihe out.

King Jin said to the guard who came to pass the message: "You go out first, and I will go there right away."

"Yes." The guard also went out.

King Jin looked at the queen mother and said, "The queen mother rests earlier, I will go out first."

"Wait," the Queen Mother stopped King Jin with a hoarse voice, "Can you pour me another glass of water?"

She called herself "I", and her tone was filled with rare weakness and pleading.

King Jin's cold heart softened a little, pouring a glass of water was just a casual thing, he didn't have to refuse.

He picked up the empty tea bowl, walked over to the table, and reached for the teapot.

When he stretched out his hand, he found that there was something black on the tip of his right thumb and index finger that looked like dirt. He always liked to be clean, and the clothes he wore were spotless.

He frowned and rubbed his fingers, trying to wipe off the two pieces of dirt.

Seeing that King Jin was motionless with his back to her, the queen mother lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The queen mother pushed the maid and signaled the maid to go to King Jin's side to check.

The maid got up and said respectfully behind King Jin: "My lord, it's better to let the slaves come."

"No need." King Jin picked up the teapot, quickly poured a cup of tea, and personally delivered it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother drank half of the bowl and returned the tea bowl to King Jin.

King Jin put the tea bowl on the table, saluted and left.

After waiting for a while to make sure that King Jin had left, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the maid: "Go and find Caihe."

The Empress Dowager knew Caihe's details well, and even more knew that it must be because of her that Caihe slipped to the Holy Majesty's place. Caihe would never want to murder the Holy Majesty.

After a while, Caihe came back.

"My maidservant greets my maidservant," Cai He knelt down and made a big salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting my maidservant."

The queen mother ignored her, but let everyone else in the palace go out first.

When only the two of them were left, the queen mother said: "Get up."

"Yes." Caihe got up from the ground.

"Go and throw that teapot away, where no one can find it." The Queen Mother ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes." Cai He stepped forward and was about to reach for the teapot, but was stopped by the Queen Mother again.

"Wait a minute!" The Queen Mother raised her voice and stopped Cai He, "Don't touch it with your hands, go find something to wrap it up. Remember, absolutely don't touch it with your hands."

"Yes, this servant knows." Cai He solemnly replied.

Under the repeated reminders and warnings from the Empress Dowager, Cai He became more in awe of the seemingly inconspicuous teapot.

Caihe found a slightly larger square handkerchief, and carefully wrapped the teapot.

She was extra careful not to touch the teapot with her skin.

After wrapping it up, she wrapped the teapot with a piece of clothes that the Empress Dowager had replaced, and she hugged the clothes, pretending to take dirty clothes out for washing, and hurried out.

When she was alone, the queen mother got up and walked to the window.

She walked steadily with every step, and she didn't look weak and tired in front of King Jin at all.

She opened the window a little and looked up at the cold moonlight in the sky.

The time has finally come for closure.
