The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Chapter 17
The Compassionate Ning Palace is the largest sleeping palace in the harem except the Qiyue Palace which has never been used.

The upper reaches of the Qingyi Lake in the Royal Garden flow through from here, and many flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the river, which is considered to be the Queen Mother's unique small Royal Garden.

A few days ago, it snowed heavily, the lake surface was frozen, and the river water was also frozen and stopped flowing. In the past few days, spring has gradually begun, the weather is getting warmer, and the ice surface is gradually melting.

The water from the upper reaches came in a hurry. In order to prevent the back garden of the Compassionate Ning Palace from being flooded, at this time of year, many palace people broke the ice overnight to dredge the waterway.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong tonight.

In order to allow water to pass through, the palace wall in the backyard has arched openings. For the sake of beauty, rockeries with a height of more than ten feet are erected on both sides.

The roots of the rockery are huge, which inevitably blocks the water outlet. However, except for the accumulation of ice cubes during the ice breaking period, the drainage is normal at other times.

A few palace people came here, carrying a shovel to break up the ice and dredge it, but they didn't expect to poke it down with the shovel, hitting the limp corpse.

People have already soaked their hair.

The Compassionate Palace was in chaos.

The body was salvaged, and it seemed that it had been soaked under the ice for two or three days, the hole under the palace wall was too small, and the river didn't flow, so it was stuck there all the time.

Several palace people couldn't hold back their nausea, and lay beside them retching, Wuyue repeatedly confirmed the identity of the corpse with a solemn expression.

She told the palace people around her to keep quiet, and then went to report to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager's eyes gradually darkened.

The palace is getting more and more chaotic.

After Zhang Taifu's incident happened, she got dark news that the emperor had secretly escorted people back to Beijing for interrogation, and wanted to make an example of others at the palace banquet.

This was like slapping her in the face, and Zhang Taifu was involved in too many things. In order to prevent him from saying what he shouldn't say, she asked Wuyue to go to the prison to kill people.

Unexpectedly, someone who couldn't see clearly fought against Wuyue, and Wuyue was injured. In order to avoid being discovered, he had to withdraw first.

Not to mention, Zhang Taifu is still dead.

who is it?The man in black who fought Wuyue?

Did he poison the queen?Did Cheng Jiang kill him?

What the hell are they trying to do.

The empress dowager has been in the palace for many years, and it is definitely not an easy task to do things quietly under her nose.

But she couldn't find the source of this force at all.

——Terrifying to the extreme.

The queen mother rubbed her forehead wearily.

Seeing this, Wuyue stepped forward to rub her shoulders.

"Don't make any moves recently, tell everyone, especially Concubine Jing, to stay safe."

"Yes," Wuyue asked, "Do you want to investigate Cheng Jiang's matter?"

"Cheng Jiang didn't take much responsibility in Fengluan Palace. Maybe no one noticed that she was missing. Let's say hello to the Shang Palace Bureau first, and let them find a better excuse. Cheng Jiang's death cannot be discovered."

"Someone is against us," Wuyue frowned slightly, "Are we going to swallow this breath like this?"

"You're still in a hurry," the queen mother's tired voice echoed in the palace where only the two of them were, and it seemed extremely empty. "The queen was poisoned just now, and she was still in the palace of compassion." What happened, and now the people around her died here again.

"If you want to investigate this matter, the news will inevitably leak out. What do you think outsiders will think?"

"The Palace of Compassion and Ning can't be criticized by others," Wuyue understood, lowering her eyes and blaming herself, "It's because I didn't think carefully."

"You may be young and still have time to learn, but the crisis will not give you a chance," the queen mother sighed, "You are the most trusted person of the Ai family, and since the Ai family is old, since you insist on staying with the Ai family, how do you act?" You must be very careful and think a lot. If the Ai family leaves this world one day, you have to complete the unfinished business."

Wuyue raised her head and said in surprise, "The Queen Mother is only in her destiny, please don't feel sorry for yourself."

The queen mother smiled, but said nothing.

Fu Yao's trip out of the palace gained a lot, and she was so happy that she didn't want to fall asleep after it was dark for a long time.

The first is paint. When she was in the prime minister's mansion, she practiced calligraphy with her husband, so she didn't like calligraphy, but she especially liked painting.

But the day when she married into the palace was very rushed, the queen mother didn't even let her take the maid with her, almost entering the palace alone.

No one in the palace could understand that she wanted paints of different colors, and they always sent a bunch of things that couldn't match. After a long time, Fu Yao gave up.

Outside the palace during the day, she somehow suddenly remembered that long-lost hobby.

...Maybe Li Wei can understand what she means.

God knows how happy she was when the various paints were packaged and delivered to her hands.

But she didn't expect that Li Wei specially brought her to visit in micro-clothes in order to buy her a small animal as a companion.

Is it because of the two big birds in the morning?
Fu Yao hugged the little white dog, and wanted to name it, but her thoughts drifted further and further away, and her mind was full of Li Wei's expression and appearance.

Sword eyebrows are sharp, eyes are as bright as the sky, when the complexion is relaxed, there is always a faint smile on the corner of the lips, which softens the fierceness between the eyebrows and eyes, making people unable to look away.

Her husband is such a beauty.

Seeing her master smiling strangely, Zhang Momo couldn't help but worry and asked, "...Is your lady alright?"

"Ah?" Fu Yao came back to her senses, and suddenly realized what she was thinking, and her fair cheeks burned instantly.

She shook her head quickly, trying to change the subject: "Nurse, book."

"Your Majesty wants a book?"

Fu Yao nodded.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhang Momo felt that the queen's words were clearer than before, she was a little happy, and then asked: "What book does the empress want?"

"Name," Fu Yao pointed to the well-behaved puppy in his arms, "Look for it."

This is to name the little white dog from the book.

Nanny Zhang suddenly realized, and quickly picked up a few books introducing the elegant names of various objects, and picked out two collections of poetry.

Fu Yao quickly flipped through the candlesticks, but one third of the candlesticks fell, but they couldn't find a satisfactory name.

Nanny Zhang persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's rest early."

The little white dog in Fu Yao's arms was still rubbing against her just now, and now he has fallen asleep, with two black ears drooping, very cute.

She tilted her head and looked at it for a while, and finally felt a little tired, but she didn't know how to get up, for fear of waking the little white dog.

Nanny Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You just need to move it, and this slave will put it in the nest prepared by the palace man."

Fu Yao thought for a while, then shook her head.

She pointed to the quilt and motioned for Madam Zhang to take it over and cover it up, then found a pillow to put it on the table, leaned against it and fell asleep.

Nanny Zhang couldn't be more stubborn, so she could only let her go. Fu Yao seemed to be really tired, and she could quickly fall asleep in such a posture.

The candles were gradually burning out, and Nanny Zhang was about to blow out the lamp, when there was a movement outside the door.

It's Li Wei.
