Chapter 362 Thousand Autumn Festival (Fifteen)

When the Empress Dowager came in, Su Qing was talking and laughing with the Empress Dowager for dinner, seeing the Empress coming in, Su Qing got up to greet her, and then said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager came so early, just in time to have breakfast with the Empress Dowager."

The queen glanced at Su Qing, her eyes were cut on Su Qing's body like knives, the jade crown on her head looked extraordinarily bright under the daylight, the pearls on it were as big as fingernails, Big and round, very nice.

"So, thank you princess for inviting me."

The queen didn't refuse, and the maid opened a chair for her. After the queen sat down, she glanced at the food on the table. The queen mother had a poor spleen and stomach, so in the morning, she only had porridge and side dishes, some meals without meat.

The queen frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and took two mouthfuls. Obviously she couldn't swallow them down, so she put the chopsticks aside. The queen mother said calmly, "The queen came to greet you so early But is there anything special?"

The queen said: "It is really because something incomprehensible happened in the palace that I disturbed the queen mother so early, so I came to the princess to ask clearly. The inner garden of the imperial palace has its own rules and regulations, if someone deliberately breaks this system, it will be bad for everyone."

The queen mother let out a sigh, leaned back on the chair, and raised the corners of her lips, "When the queen came, she put a high hat on me. Although I favor Qing'er, I will not forget the palace rules and etiquette. The queen is the head of the harem." Lord, naturally you have the right to ask what happened in the palace, just tell me what happened."

The queen paused for a moment, but still smiled and said, "I'm not so anxious about this matter. The queen mother eats first, and we will go to the main hall to talk after eating."

The queen mother lowered her head and drank a couple of mouthfuls of the clear porridge in front of her, and got up casually. Just as she was about to leave, she took another bite of the sweet potato that Su Qing had broken open for her. The queen mother walked out of the dining room and came to the main hall. The queen mother sat on the cushion, Su Qing stood beside her, and the queen sat on the other side of the queen mother.

The queen walked down from the cushion and knelt down on one knee, "Mother, when I got up this morning, someone came to report that someone knocked out the guards in the dungeon last night and entered the dungeon. The dungeons in the palace are used to detain criminals The wrong person, whether it is the prince or the eunuch, has a place to go, and the palace rules clearly stipulate that no one is allowed to visit without permission, so the concubine came here to ask the princess why he did this last night? "

The queen gritted her teeth, but the two confessed on the spot. She had no choice but to force her to interrogate her on the spot. The queen mother looked at the queen and said, "Last night, Qing'er did pass by, but there should be no hands-on actions. The queen is in charge of the harem, so it is natural to do it." Only when you are clear can you come to me, the queen said, right?"

The queen mother waved her hand, "I think it's something important. Qing'er knows how to repay her kindness, which shows that she has a kind heart and is thinking of the previous good. There is nothing wrong with it. If the guard at the gate of the dungeon fainted, why should the queen hold on to it?"

"That's right, the queen mother calms down, the princess is gentle and virtuous, how could she do it, it must be the two of us who misunderstood."

The queen's face was ashen, "This kind of thing happened in the palace, and the concubine had to ask."

"Tell me, what happened to the queen at such an early morning?"

"Oh, Qing'er, you went to the dungeon, but because of Song Zhi?"

But it was just a moment, and then he looked up at the queen mother.

The queen ordered the guards to be brought in. Su Qing saw that they were the two guards at the gate last night. The two of them had come to their senses, and they greeted the queen mother. If there is a mistake or omission of a word, Qing'er is raised by my side, she is very decent, and she will not do that kind of thing."

The two kowtowed continuously, and when they lifted it up, Su Qing looked at the two balls of blood on the floor and felt uncomfortable for a while.

The queen bowed her head, and her hands were stirring on her clothes. It can be seen how angry she was at this moment. Hundreds, as a warning to others."

The Queen and Su Qing looked at each other, and the two sparked, "Presumptuous, how can I say something wrong, when the guards came to report this morning, it was clearly stated that you knocked them out and entered the dungeon, dungeon You can’t go in casually, don’t you know?”

Su Qing blinked her eyes and was about to speak when the Queen Mother put the rosary on the table. Her movements were very light, but she still made a clear and sweet sound.

The two guards shouted for mercy, but were dragged down by others.

The guard kowtowed again, his forehead touched the ground, and made a thumping sound. They were all spirits in the palace. The two of them understood what the queen mother said, and one of them said: "Back to the queen mother, the slave is just before fainting. Seeing the princess walking this way, I didn't see clearly whether the princess knocked us out or not."

The queen mother was silent for a moment, "In that case, bring that guard in, and I'll ask."

The guard said: "Queen Empress, please calm down, Empress Dowager, please calm down, it's the two of us who made a mistake."

The two guards kowtowed vigorously, but they didn't speak. The queen urged, "Presumptuous, why doesn't the queen mother ask you questions? Are you looking for death? Talk, tell me what you told me in the morning, and tell the queen mother now."

This is the rhythm of beating people to death.

Su Qing also knelt down and said, "Queen mother, calm down, Song Zhi is not someone else, my daughter has known him for a long time, not to mention that if it wasn't for Song Zhi, Qing'er might not have survived outside the palace, and it would be impossible to see her mother be so kind. That's why Qing'er wanted to repay her kindness and went to the dungeon, but the guard didn't faint, I don't know why the empress said that?"

"Yes, we made a mistake, the Queen Mother calm down."

"Mother, I'm afraid you know what happened last night."

When the queen heard it, she glared and said, "Presumptuous, you have thought it through before you talk. That's not what you told me this morning. You made it very clear that it was the princess who knocked them out. Why did it change now?"

The queen got up and looked straight at the queen mother, "After all, Su Qing just entered the dungeon. This is a fact that several people have seen."

The Queen Mother said: "Queen, are you questioning me?"

The queen said: "Don't dare, how can the queen mother be wrong, it's someone else who is wrong."

At this moment, there was a sound of running outside the door, and the mother beside the empress said: "Empress Empress, Concubine Fox passed out in Linhua Palace, the emperor let you go."
