The little medical concubine

Chapter 456 Doubt

Qi Yanling accompanied Zhao Zhao for a walk around the Imperial Garden, and the topic couldn't be separated from those books. Zhao Zhao seemed to want to know if there was anything she didn't understand.

Because she really didn't read many books, Zhao Zhao couldn't ask any more questions, so she stopped asking, but talked about the academy.

"You're still pregnant with the child, won't it be too hard to work in the academy?" Zhao Zhao asked, holding Qi Yanling's hand.

"I haven't done anything yet, I just have such an idea." For some reason, Qi Yanling subconsciously didn't want to reveal too much about the academy to Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao is not very interested in the women's academy, but if Qi Yanling devotes herself to the academy, when will she finish reading her books and show her the parchment.

"You don't have to do it yourself, it's the same if you leave it to others." Zhao Zhao said, "That woman in your palace is trustworthy just now? Have you found out her origin?"

Qi Yanling smiled and said, "It's just an orphan girl. I think she is talented. Half of her face was burned. Although she doesn't look good, she is kind and kind. I also value her when I teach those orphans to read and write at Wandering Academy." at this point."

Zhao Zhao is not interested in an orphan girl, "Just as long as you don't get tired yourself."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Qi Yanling felt that her feet were a little sore, so she didn't go any further. After bidding farewell to Zhao Zhao, she went back to Fengyi Palace with Zhuxin's hand.

"Go invite my eldest brother into the palace tomorrow." Qi Yanling instructed Zhu Xin in a low voice after returning to Fengyi Palace.

She asked her elder brother to check something for her, and now the only person who is most suitable to help her is her elder brother.

What did Mei Niang see on the mountain that day?Why was she frightened like that? If she hadn't been rescued in time, she might have been scared to death.

Don't think that being frightened won't kill people, and being frightened can also scare people to death.

"Yes, empress." Zhu Xin responded immediately.

Qi Yanling leaned on the soft couch with her stomach in her arms, "Isn't there a letter from Jinkou City?"

"Your Majesty, there are no other letters except Mr. Cheng's letter." Yuping replied.

Cheng Jiaming's letters were only about the trading firm, not about Qi Yanling asking Lu Xiangying to investigate.

Qi Yanling rubbed her belly, looked at Zhu Xin and Yu Ping, "Your marriage has been postponed for a month, if it continues, Shen Chu and Jiang He will definitely blame me, and let you get married next month Bar."

"Your Majesty, you should let Yuping get married first, the maidservant will not leave the palace until your child is born." Zhu Xin said with a blushing face.

Yuping immediately said, "Your Majesty, slaves and maidservants are not married either."

Qi Yanling glanced at them with a smile, "You are not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry."

"Your Majesty, how can the slaves leave the palace at this time without worry, just let us serve you for a few more months." Although the palace maids they have trained are already useful, the two of them are always the ones that the Empress trusts the most. At this critical moment, how can they get married with peace of mind.

Yuping also knelt down, "Your Majesty, let us serve you for a while longer."

Qi Yanling couldn't resist them, "Get up quickly, I can only let Shen Chu and Jiang He complain."

She had several maidservants, and the four Bai were trained by her own hands. Both Bai Lu and Bai Shuang are dead, and now only Bai Ji and Bai Zhi are outside to take care of her business. As for the Zhu Xin sisters, only Zhu Xin is by her side. up.

Now she still has tortoise shells by her side, and there will be more court ladies in the future, but, for her, the most precious thing is these maidservants who grew up with her.

Thinking about it, she was really reluctant to let them marry, she felt like marrying a daughter.

The next day, Qi Yanjun entered the palace to see Qi Yanling.

Qi Yanling dismissed all the palace servants from the main hall, and ordered Zhuxin and the others to keep a strict guard outside, and no one was allowed to approach.

"Brother, how are you doing these days? How is sister-in-law?" Qi Yanling motioned Qi Yanjun to sit down. The two of them, brother and sister, never needed any formalities when there were no outsiders.

Qi Yanjun is now the admiral of the Nine Gates, controlling the safety of the entire capital. Given how much Zhao Linxiu attaches importance to him now, it is likely that he will be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and his future entry into the cabinet is just around the corner.

Three years ago, the Qi family was already on the decline. With Qi Yanjun's illness and resignation, everyone thought it was the empress who fell out of favor. Unexpectedly, the Qi family was in full bloom again in a blink of an eye, gaining even more holy family than before.

Qi Yanjun smiled and glanced at Qi Yanling, "Yesterday your sister-in-law just diagnosed a happy pulse, I thought you would know the news so soon."

"Really?" Qi Yanling's face beamed with joy, "That's great, if I don't let you enter the palace today, don't you plan to let me know."

"I'm thinking of announcing the good news to you in a few days." Qi Yanjun once thought that he would never be a father again in this life, but now that he has his eldest son and his wife is pregnant again, how can he be unhappy in his heart.

Qi Yanling was really happy in her heart. She wasn't expecting her eldest brother to pass on the family line to the Qi family. She knew that her eldest brother liked children, so he must be very happy now that he has another child.

"Sister Ling, you never ask me to enter the palace for nothing, did something happen?" Qi Yanjun lowered his voice and asked, "Is it related to the Huguo Temple last time?"

"Brother, do you still remember that I once told you that I met a person named Mei Niang in Huguo Temple?" Qi Yanling said in a low voice, her eyes were a little dark, "yesterday I I told her to enter the palace, and it just so happened that the queen mother came to look for me..." Qi Yanling recalled Meiniang's expression at that time, it was not only the expression she would have when she saw the high-ranking queen mother, the fear and fear in her eyes was deeper than that. Hiding...resentment.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she did see resentment in Mei Niang's eyes.

What puzzled her the most was that Mei Niang had never shown such fear and nervousness when she saw her and the eldest princess. How could she become so scared when she saw the Queen Mother?

There must be a reason for this.

So she remembered that when she was at Huguo Temple, Zhichun said that Mei Niang was frightened when she came down from the mountain.

There can't be beasts on the mountain of Huguo Temple. At that time... only the Queen Mother was on the mountain.

"Has she seen the Queen Mother before?" Qi Yanjun asked suspiciously after hearing Qi Yanling's words.

"I don't know, brother, I've always wondered how it is possible that the queen mother disappeared 20 years later, and when she reappeared there was only one person. When she was in Yunnan and Guizhou, the emperor said she had ambitions, but what exactly was the queen mother's ambition? Qi Yanling sighed, she didn't want to doubt Zhao Zhao, but she was more afraid that Zhao Zhao would hurt Zhao Linxiu in the future.

Qi Yanjun's expression froze. In fact, he already had doubts in his heart, but the other party was the Queen Mother. Even if he had doubts, he didn't dare to say it out. Now that his sister said this, he felt even more suspicious.

"If the queen mother has been overseas for so many years, it will not be easy for us to find out her background." Qi Yanjun said.

"So I want my eldest brother to find out who Mei Niang saw at Huguo Temple that day, or...except for the Queen Mother, who was there on the mountain at that time." Qi Yanling said in a low voice, she didn't believe that she couldn't find any clues .

Zhao Zhao has lived overseas for so many years, so she must have a plan when she comes back suddenly. As long as she has a plan, there will be a loophole to be found.

Qi Yanjun nodded, "I will investigate secretly, and you should be careful in the palace."

"Brother, you must be more careful. If there is any danger, stop the investigation immediately. Don't let people find out. Instead, you will startle the snake. The most important thing is to take care of yourself." Qi Yanling said.

"Don't worry, brother will be careful." Qi Yanjun said, now that he has a wife and children, he will definitely be more cautious than before.

Qi Yanling lowered her eyes and said, "Don't let the emperor know."

Before everything was investigated, she didn't want Zhao Linxiu to know that she was investigating Zhao Zhao, she didn't want him to misunderstand her, and she didn't want him to be sad.

"I know." Qi Yanjun said.

Not long after the siblings talked, Zhao Linxiu came.

Qi Yanling greeted him personally, and seeing Zhao Linxiu coming without even changing into the bright yellow dragon robe, she couldn't help giving him a look, "Aren't you too heavy in this dress?"

Zhao Linxiu stopped Qi Yanjun who was about to salute, walked into the hall with Qi Yanjun on his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be so polite as a family, go inside and talk."

In a bad mood?Qi Yanling looked up at his tense handsome face, pinched the back of his hand with her little hand, could something have happened?
Sitting in the hall again, Zhao Linxiu couldn't bear the frost in his eyes any longer, and said in an angry voice, "The Supreme Emperor is going back to the capital!"

Qi Yanling and Qi Yanjun looked at each other in surprise, the Supreme Emperor is doing well in Yungui, why is he going back to Kyoto?
"When?" Qi Yanling asked.

Zhao Linxiu said angrily, "The Supreme Emperor asked me to set a date! Let the ministers of the court decide tomorrow."

Set a fart!He doesn't want the Supreme Emperor to come back at all!
Qi Yanling was very surprised in her heart, how could the Supreme Emperor return to the capital at this time?What does he want to do again?

"Your Majesty, it's uncertain what day the date will be. Does the Supreme Emperor hope that the Emperor will send someone to pick him up, or will he drive back to the palace directly from Yungui?" Qi Yanjun asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Linxiu's face became even more gloomy, "He wants me to send someone to pick him up."

That old man!It must be because he was afraid that he would be killed on the way, so he asked him to send someone. In this way, he had to ensure the safety of the old man on the way, otherwise the whole world would suspect him.

When Qi Yanling thought about the days when the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager lived in the palace, she suddenly felt her head hurt even more. It seemed that there would be more quarrels in the future.

"Who does the emperor want to pick up the Supreme Emperor?" Qi Yanjun asked again.

Zhao Linxiu snorted coldly, "The date hasn't been fixed yet. We'll wait until it is fixed. Maybe it will be a good day before we start our journey in a year or so."

Qi Yanling almost laughed, it seemed that he really didn't want the Supreme Emperor to return to the capital, "If this is the case, I don't think the Supreme Emperor needs you to pick him up."

Of course Zhao Linxiu knew that this was impossible, he was just expressing his dissatisfaction.
