"Sister! Sister, you are back..." Mrs. Xiao shouted loudly as she walked into Chaolin Palace.
"Huh?" Mrs. Gan was playing chess with Hongwen when she suddenly heard a quarrel outside the hall, and she suddenly felt upset.

"Master! Mrs. Xiao is here..." Wu'er reported back

"Oh!" Mrs. Gan hurriedly stood up and went out to greet her. When she stood up, she saw Mrs. Xiao already entering the palace in a hurry. "Who do I think it is? It's so lively. It turns out that my sister is here..."

"Sister, please forgive me, I should have come earlier, but it's just that the clothes are not very tight, so I came late." Mrs. Xiao caressed her flat pregnant belly.

"Why do you need to hold on to this gift when you are pregnant? It will be the same if I go see you when I have time." Mrs. Gan then ordered, "Hurry up and bring up the mandarin oranges I brought back..."

"Hey! Hongwen is here too? I haven't seen you for a long time..." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile when she saw Hongwen.
"Greetings to Concubine Xiao," Hongwen also stood up and bowed his hands to say hello.

"Okay, okay! My son, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you have made a lot of achievements. Will you see your brother when you come back?" Mrs. Xiao took Hongwen's hand lovingly and asked.
"Reporting to Concubine Xiao, the child has never met Yudi..."

"Your brother! He can't see you, he talks about you all day long, and he doesn't see you coming back for some unknown reason. Why don't you go and see him..." Mrs. Xiao's words were mixed with a lot of messy things.

"Then... I'll say goodbye to the two ladies first, and go see Yudi first." Hongwen said goodbye to the two ladies and turned around to go out.

Madam Xiao stretched her neck and watched Hongwen leave the inner courtyard before sitting down and asking for tea.
Mrs. Gan also sat down to accompany her.
"Hey! Are you playing chess?" Mrs. Xiao lowered her head and looked carefully. "Does this black piece belong to Hongwen?" Mrs. Xiao was sitting where Hongwen had just been sitting. She saw that the unplayed chess box at hand was full of black pieces.
"Exactly" Mrs. Gan replied
"This kid didn't play chess like this before! Every time he played chess with Hongyu, he always lost. Why does it seem like you, sister, didn't take advantage of this game..."

"It's true. I saw that he has improved a lot this time when he came back, both in his martial arts and his studies." Mrs. Gan also said while looking at the unfinished chess game.
"I heard..." Mrs. Xiao took a white piece and placed it on the chessboard, and the white piece that was at a disadvantage suddenly showed signs of life. There is no one else like him.”

"Oh? Really? There is such a person in our Royal Taoist Academy?" Mrs. Gan, the real person of Sanyang, has already heard about it. "I think Hongwen must have learned a lot from Master Taixu."

"Sister, do you know? The master has a weird temperament. He rarely teaches knowledge to others, let alone accepts disciples. It's just..." Mrs. Xiao stopped in a pretense of deep thought.

"Just how?" Mrs. Gan asked quickly

"It's just that he only accepted one disciple in his life..."

"Oh? Who is he? How lucky is he? How can he be favored by the master?"

"The one who currently lives in Ruihua Palace, our Queen..." Mrs. Xiao's face was filled with profound meaning.
"Really?" Mrs. Gan deliberately did not look at the hidden meaning on her face.

Go is the most strategizing, thorough thinking and scheming. Mrs. Gan is a master in arranging troops on the battlefield and is naturally good at playing chess. However, in the northwest palace, she cannot beat this Mrs. Xiao in front of her. She is the last to win. She entered the palace late, but she was the most favored and trusted. She usually looked cheerful and unruly, but in fact, her tiger and wolf heart had long been seen in her eyes. The queen had been ill for a long time, and the cause of the illness could not be found, and the treatment was always ineffective. Mrs. Gan She had long realized that she had something to do with her, but this person was cautious in doing things, but he never let anyone know about him. There was nothing anyone could do against her, so how could Mrs. Gan dare to believe everything this person said?
"It is rare that the head of the family is weird but willing to teach Hongwen's subjects. It must be a blessing to my royal family. Even though Her Royal Highness the Queen has only been in the palace for a short time, she has captured the hearts of the King and His Highness..." Mrs. Xiao said I paused for a moment after taking the tea bowl.

Mrs. Gan was playing with the chess pieces in the chess box with one hand, and at the same time she was thinking about the deep meaning of Mrs. Xiao's words. Not to mention the king, Hongwen really trusted Her Majesty the Queen, and Zi Tong had only seen her once. He also has an unusual fondness for her, which is really a rare thing.
"I heard... Taoists who practice Taoism and immortality naturally have some magic. They also make medicines and powders, some of which are very soul-stirring..." Mrs. Xiao stopped here and took a sip of tea, squinting at Gan. Madam’s reaction: “Do you think the King and His Highness were under some illusion and ate the wrong thing?”

"Sister, you're kidding me!" Mrs. Gan also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. "Her Royal Highness, the Queen, is dignified and quiet, gentle and kind, and treats others with kindness and kindness. She is naturally loved and respected by others. How can she have sorcery?"

"Be kind to others?" Mrs. Xiao laughed and said, "Have you ever heard? She had just entered the palace at that time. I happened to be pregnant, so the king stayed with me for a few days. She was jealous and actually came directly in front of my palace gate. Beat my slave half to death! She is not teaching the slave a lesson, she is clearly beating me..."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"Sister, if you don't believe me, just ask the people in my palace..." Mrs. Xiao stood up and said, "It's getting late. I think the king will stay in my sister's palace today. I won't disturb you, so I'll leave first..."

"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Queen to be such a vicious person when she looked at Gentleman." Wu'er said when he saw Mrs. Xiao walking away.
"Don't believe her words," Mrs. Gan said, "Have you seen the little palace maid you met when you came back last time before?"

"Master, this slave has never seen her before..."

"Go and check quietly, the origin of that little palace maid, and don't alert anyone," Mrs. Gan ordered.

"Master, do you think there is something wrong with that little palace maid?"

"It's a bit of a coincidence. Why did you come back for only two days? Only the General's Mansion knew about it. You only went to the street once and met her by chance. It just so happened that you only told you this one thing..."

"Yes!" Wu'er replied, "Slave maidservant to check..."

"It seems that the general's mansion is not clean. You have to go and check. The mansion knows the person you came back. Has anyone done anything he shouldn't have done in the past few days? That person gave the news about your return. Who did she kill, and who is the little palace lady involved with..." Mrs. Gan is not an ordinary rough person who only loves martial arts. She already has a plan in her heart. "The more Mrs. Xiao doesn't mention it, I haven't been wary yet. Since she After a few innocuous remarks, I should be cautious. No matter what Her Majesty the Queen is like, good or bad, I have to find out first. If I rashly make an enemy of her, I will not be taken advantage of by others. If you start a fight, you might fall into someone else’s trap, wouldn’t it mean that someone will take advantage of you?”
