Chapter 19 The Queen
The guard seemed to be stung by a scorpion, hesitating, "I'll go with you—on the tree, take the kite."

Although Yiman was full of doubts about this person, he still smiled and said, "Thank you, brother, let's go this way."

The two walked one by one to the place where the kite was stuck just now, and before they reached the place, they saw a lot of people gathered on the inner, inner and outer third floors.Most of them are people from the imperial hospital, and only a small number of court ladies and eunuchs.

Yiman tilted his head in confusion, "Hey - why are there so many people?"

The guard followed Yiman and glanced at her, holding the handle of the knife tightly by his side.

"What's going on here?"

Yiman casually grabbed a drug boy from the Tai Hospital to inquire about it.

The drug boy was concentrating on it, turned his head impatiently, and was startled when he saw the "horizontal needle behind the tail of the hornet".Immediately smiled embarrassedly, "So it's a girl, here a maid fell into the water, it seems to be from the Palace of the Seventh Princess, she died."

Yiman covered his mouth in horror, his eyes widened, "Really? This is too scary."

"It can be fake, look, it's lying inside, and the little eunuch is also from the Palace of the Seventh Princess."

Yiman looked in anxiously with his feet on his feet, and was caught by the little Caizi who didn't know what to do. He immediately got up and rushed away from the crowd, and came in front of Yiman.

"Girl, why are you here? Why is Yan Hong dead?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Yiman, who glanced at the corpse that had been fished out from the grass, looking scared and remorseful.

"I begged in every possible way, but Sister Yanhong finally agreed that I should find a brother guard to help carry the kite for the Seventh Princess, so I went. Unexpectedly, this is the brother guard I found."

Yiman didn't mention the time, but gave the impression that Yanhong was still alive when she left.When Yan Hong died, she had the illusion that she had been with this guard all along.And it just so happened that this 'time witness' was still here, which immediately added credibility.

Everyone's eyes focused on the guard behind Yiman again. The guard seemed to have been acupunctured, his eyes were stunned, and his whole body was motionless, like a wooden man.

"So, you don't know how she fell into the water?"

Yiman met Xiao Cai's suspicious gaze, nodded pitifully, and wiped away the non-existent tears at the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"How is this good?"

The imperial physician who had already been judged dead stood up and looked at Xiao Cai who was anxiously wandering back and forth, "Okay, this maid died by drowning, someone should report it to the inner court."

Although Xiao Cai was afraid in her heart, she still stomped her feet and went to report to Princess Seven.

The crowd began to murmur, and Yiman looked at Xiao Cai's back.

According to the arrogant and unreasonable temperament of the seventh princess, even if there is no evidence, I am afraid that anyone who has anything to do with this matter will be arrested and questioned first.

Now it seems that the only choice is to go to the Queen first. If something happens in the palace, it makes sense to go and report it to the Queen.

As long as the queen can see him, he is sure that he can recognize the queen, at least let the queen protect himself first.

Yiman turned his head and saw that the stiff guards of the Habayashi Army just now had disappeared. Although he felt puzzled, he also knew that this was not the time to be entangled.

Leaving from the crowd, he hurried to the queen's palace.

Qingning Palace

The queen's hand firmly held the armrest of the phoenix chair, and the gentle smile on her face could hardly be maintained anymore.

Aunt Gao was anxious, so she quickly walked over and waved her hand, indicating to the palace attendants to put away the unfolded "Zhao Yebai".

The palace servants who displayed the paintings were brought by Guo Jieyu, and they all looked at their master at the moment.

Guo Jieyu lowered her eyes and smiled, sitting and leaning on the armrest, playing with the huge ruby ​​ring on her hand.

Seeing that their master didn't order, the two palace servants could only lower their heads and pretend that they couldn't see Gao Nanny's movements.

Nanny Gao took a look at Guo Jieyu, and yelled at the two palace servants, "Have you been blinded by being an empress for so long? If you don't put it away, get out, this is Qingning Palace."

After all, it was an old woman over half a hundred years old, and the heavy aura on her body made the two palace servants cringe, and they put away the scroll and stood aside.

"Gaoshang Palace, I finally got this painting from Ji Chongrong, and it's dedicated to the empress, don't you like it?"

The queen has been unable to look at horses, not even paintings, since she fell off a horse when she was young. Every time she sees one, her calves can't help but tremble and she sweats all over.

The horse in the painting just now had its mane standing on end, its eyes widened with anger, its nostrils turned out, and it was neighing, as if it was about to break away from the painting at any time.

The queen's palms were already damp and her heart was stuffy.

Only the close female officials and the emperor know about my fear of horses. Could it be that the emperor told these bastards?
The queen smiled stiffly, "Put it away."

Song Yan, the female historian in Qingning Palace, immediately took the painting from the palace man with both hands.

Although the queen has more than enough bearing, she is not sharp enough.Now a little Jieyu dares to show off her power overtly or covertly.

Gao Momo felt depressed, but she couldn't overstep her status, she reprimanded the concubine in front of the queen, and hated iron for being weak.

The paintings were all delivered, but Guo Jieyu still had no intention of leaving. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "The tea here is really good. It is the thick fog peak from the year before last. This kind of tea becomes more fragrant with age."

The queen's face was ugly, but she didn't know how to reply. Seeing a palace man whispering to the female history at the door, "What's the matter?"

The female history frowned, and was about to refuse, but when she heard the empress's question, she knelt down to answer.

"Going back to Empress, there is a medicine boy outside Qingning Palace asking to see him, saying that he has something important to report."

All matters big and small are presided over by each palace. If there are any matters that need to be dealt with using the Phoenix Seal or cannot be dealt with, they will be summarized and reported to the Queen.How could a little medicine boy meet the Queen casually? Just as Grandma Gao was about to wave her away, she saw Guo Jieyu, who was just watching the fun, looking at the Queen curiously.

"Why don't you meet me, Madam? Maybe there's something important?"

The queen opened her mouth, and Guo Jieyu continued: "It just so happens that the emperor went to visit Xia Tongyi again today. I am fine, so I will accompany you to meet my empress. Maybe there is something new?"

Aunt Gao was so angry that she wanted to slap her twice, but she had to maintain her demeanor as a queen's official lady.

The female history was caught in the middle, so she could only kneel on the ground and wait for the person above to speak.

"There is nothing left and right, so let's call the medicine boy in."

-----------------

"I don't—you go right away and tie her back to me—"

Bai Renyi slammed the flower basket at hand, hitting a little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground. The little eunuch tilted his body and his forehead immediately turned blue.

"Your Highness—"

"I do not care"

While being scuffled by Bai Renyi, five or six court ladies stretched out their hands to stop them, their bodies were covered in mess.The little eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads, and occasionally a bruised nose and a swollen hat were tilted because they were accidentally hit by something.

Jinse stood there helpless and could only direct the palace people to stop Bai Renyi, with an anxious look on his face.

Just now a little eunuch reported that Yan Hong died of drowning.

Yanhong received the order from the Seventh Princess, and when the kite was taken down, she deceived the medicine boy into Ye Ting, locked her up with the palace maid as usual, and waited for the Seventh Princess to whip her to vent when she had time. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? matter.

As soon as the seventh princess heard this, she was convinced that it was the medicine boy who pushed Yan Hong into the pond, so she wanted to snatch the medicine boy away without hesitation and force him to find evidence so that she could vent her anger.

But now the imperial doctor has concluded that he died from drowning. There is no evidence that someone else killed him, so he can only go through the normal procedures of the inner court.If the Seventh Princess were allowed to rob someone and kidnap him back to Penglai Palace in broad daylight, even Concubine De would be unable to restrain her. Then rumors would spread in the palace, which would alarm the Queen and the Emperor.
