After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 22 Two minds
  Emperor Qingling's eyes were full of pity, and he raised his hand to caress Concubine Shu's shoulder.

"Okay, my fourteenth brother is still here." Emperor Qingling's voice could not hide his satisfaction, and it was full of friendship.

Concubine Shu lowered her head and said nothing, and a blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks, which was charming and intoxicating.

The Fourteenth Master stood aside, looking at this scene, and couldn't help but recite a poem: "Tianjie was once drunk by the beauty, and the cool branches moved into the black scarf."

Emperor Qingling pulled Concubine Shu forward and stood in front of the Fourteenth Master, and said with a smile: "The meaning of this poem by the Fourteenth Brother is that when I saw Concubine Shu, I was drunk and fell in love, and Concubine Shu gave me her ginger soup. , I miss you so much. Could it be that my fourteenth brother wants to use the salt patrol to find a beautiful woman?"

Emperor Qingling's teasing made the Fourteenth Master blush and said hastily: "Brother, please don't make fun of me. I really just want to avoid the troubles in the capital. Those words make me upset."

Emperor Qingling seemed to be in a good mood and laughed heartily.

Concubine Shu stood aside and pretended to be stupid. She only raised her hand and patted Emperor Qing Ling's back gently: "Your Majesty, why are you smiling so happily? Why don't you let me listen too?"

Emperor Qing Ling raised his eyes and exchanged glances with the Fourteenth Master, both of which contained cunning.

The Fourteenth Master hurriedly changed the subject and took a step back: "Brother Imperial, I entrust you with all my sincerity. Please trust me and promise me to go to the south to patrol the salt industry and quell the chaos. I will definitely do it." Live up to your trust.”

Emperor Qing Ling was happy, smiled and waved his hand: "That's all, since you want to go, then go. Remember, pay attention to safety. I want you to come back in one piece."

After hearing this, the Fourteenth Master knelt down and thanked me: "My brother will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor and return to the capital safely."

Emperor Qingling stepped forward and patted the Fourteenth Master on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Go."

"Yes! My brother obeys the order."

Outside the imperial study, when Grandma Chen saw the Fourteenth Master coming out, she knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the Fourteenth Master."

The Fourteenth Master saw Nanny Chen and said, "Yes."

After saying that, Master Fourteen raised his legs and was about to leave.

Grandma Chen took a step forward and hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.

Nowadays, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is walking on thin ice, and Chengqian Palace also has many enemies in the harem. As a close relative of the empress, her words and deeds must be in compliance with the rules.

Don't go beyond the rules.

The Fourteenth Master took a few steps and then turned back and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, the Prime Minister asked me to bring a message to your mother-in-law, saying that everything is fine at home and asking her not to worry about it. That day, the Emperor asked me to go south to bring the Prime Minister back. The Prime Minister then Guessing what the empress had done, he said, let you and Mi Chun take good care of the empress. Don't interfere or ask about family affairs. The Prime Minister's Mansion and Chengqian Palace are just strangers."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Aunt Chen stayed where she was and looked at his back, with two lines of clear tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

When Concubine Shu came out, Grandma Chen was crying.

Seeing Nanny Chen's tears, she frowned and stepped forward: "What's wrong? What sad thing happened to you?"

Grandma Chen put away her thoughts and raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty, how are you?"

Concubine Shu said solemnly: "I didn't open my mouth to ask for favor. I was afraid that the emperor would think that I was arrogant and favored, so I went to the Japanese Palace to beg the Queen. Ying'an has just turned one month old and is weak. I will never let her go."

After all, a palace maid died in Chengqian Palace.

When he came, after listening to Xiao Wuzi's wishes, Ziju still died unexpectedly.

The murderer didn't know why he attacked, but it must have been for her.

She is not afraid of the so-called ghosts and monsters, but the prerequisite is that Ying'an must be removed.

"Let's go back to the palace." Concubine Shu's voice was slightly deeper.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Qingling was sitting at the imperial table reviewing memorials. There was a bowl of finished ginger soup beside his hand.

Wei Weiran was waiting at the side, not daring to move.

I don’t know why.

Since Concubine Shu left, the emperor has been in a bad mood.

"Wei Weiran, what happened in Concubine Shu's palace today?"

Emperor Qingling spoke suddenly, which seemed particularly abrupt in the huge imperial study.     Low, cold, grim, majestic.

Wei Weiran, who had been with him for many years, could tell that the emperor was angry, so he quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I don't know this."

"Go check it out!"

Wei Weiran buried his head lower: "I obey the order."

After saying that, he retreated directly.

Emperor Qingling put down the imperial pen in his hand, leaned on the dragon chair, and looked out the door in confusion.

The look in Concubine Shu's eyes just now filled her mind.

That cautious and compromising look really made him feel quite unhappy, and he wanted to call everyone who made her angry and sad to come forward to question and hold them to account one by one.

He could use his woman to express his anger, but if it were anyone else, he would never allow her!

Within half a cup of tea, Wei Weiran left and returned, kneeling directly in front of Emperor Qing Ling.

"Back to the emperor, a palace maid died in Chengqian Palace this morning. When Concubine Shu saw her, she was frightened and panicked. She didn't go to Jingren Palace in the morning. The imperial doctor went to see her and said she had to stay in bed to recuperate."

Emperor Qing Ling's face became darker and darker, and finally turned cold.

"Bold! Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier!"

Concubine Shu was frightened and must have been so frightened that she wanted to come to see him. She even tried to please him in every possible way when she came to seek comfort, and made ginger soup for him to ward off the cold.

He was so cruel to test such a beautiful woman who was about to be broken into pieces, testing her sincerity and loyalty.

No wonder the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Wei Weiran was sincere and frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "I know my mistake. Your Majesty will calm down and take over all matters in the Qian Palace from now on. I will definitely pay more attention to it and tell you everything you know."

Emperor Qingling said nothing, stood up and walked forward quickly: "Go to Chengqian Palace!"

Wei Weiran jumped up and said: "Yes! Let's take over Qian Palace!"

On the other side, Concubine Shu's sedan carriage was also heading towards Chengqian Palace.

Grandma Chen's mood was not very high along the way, so Concubine Shu asked someone to stop and walked back to Chengqian Palace with Grandma Chen.

Concubine Shu's voice was slightly deeper: "What did the Fourteenth Master just say?"

Grandma Chen knelt down in fear, lowering her voice and saying: "Your Majesty, slave..."

There was a cold light in Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes, and she was not even half as soft and cute as she had been in the imperial study room just now. At this moment, she seemed as domineering and cold as a beloved concubine should be.

That noble energy makes people shudder.

"If others knew that you were in such a state of disbelief after meeting the Fourteenth Master, do you know how much disaster it would bring to you and everyone in Chengqian Palace?"

Grandma Chen immediately clarified: "My Majesty, I am so old, how can I have any thoughts about the Fourteenth Master?"

Concubine Shu took a step forward and said briefly: "The emperor is most taboo about forming cliques for personal gain. You are a member of my palace, and everything you do is under my instructions. They will not think that you have thoughts about the Fourteenth Master, they will only think so." I, mama, you always advise me to be extremely careful, why do you panic when you get there?"

"Empress, slave..."

Aunt Chen hesitated, and Concubine Shu said in a cold voice: "Speak!"

Nanny Chen stood up, leaned over and said in Concubine Shu's ear: "Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master said that the Prime Minister asked the prince to take the lead, and asked Mi Chun and I to take good care of the Concubine. Don't interfere or ask about family affairs. The Prime Minister's Mansion and Cheng Qiangong is just a stranger, and the servants are suspicious...The prime minister had no choice but to do something detrimental to the Daling Dynasty, so he asked the Fourteenth Master to inform the empress in order to protect her."

Concubine Shu's face changed greatly.

At this moment, the Queen's voice came from the Chengqian Palace.

"Hit me! You dare to harm people in the harem. How audacious!"
