Chapter 800 Yan Chenxi's accident (3)
The Empress Dowager picked up the jug on the table and dropped it heavily on the ground. There was still water in the jug. When it fell to the ground, the intact teacup turned into pieces all over the floor, and the wine inside splashed everywhere. The sound was not It was very loud, but it made everyone present quiet down, including Qiu Ci, who was also stunned. She looked back at the Queen Mother, only to see that the Queen Mother's eyes were cold and indescribably serious.

"What's the meaning of the Holy Maiden?" The Queen Mother asked in a cold voice, and her expression was very serious.

Qiu Ci soon realized that he was wrong, and in fear, lowered his body, and bowed: "Yes—"

She wanted to explain, but the Queen Mother didn't give her any chance, she waved her hand displeased, "The Ai family doesn't want to hear so much explanation from you, the Ai family only asks you, is this your birthday present for the Ai family?"

Qiu Ci pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, "Yes, but—"

"Yes, there are so many excuses. Once the gift has been sent, it is no longer yours. Does the saint want to go back on her word? Our Liuli cares for Nanxia everywhere, but it is just a mere congratulatory gift. Can't you afford it? You don't have any intention of giving something to Ai's family, or do you mean that you are giving this thing to bring bad luck to Ai's family?"

The Empress Dowager spoke extremely fast and ruthlessly, and her tone was even sharper. Qiu Ci lowered her head and couldn't find a gap to interject. Even though she had thousands of words in her heart, the Empress Dowager never gave her any opportunity for justification.

"Nanxia has been cared by Liuli for many years, how dare you?"

"I forgive you for not daring, since you have already given the things to the Ai family, it has nothing to do with you. Doesn't the Ai family have the right to let people dispose of their own things?"

Qiu Ci said yes weakly, and didn't dare to say a word. In the quiet hall, the crackling sound of the fire and the burning snake's body was extremely clear. To Qiu Ci's ears, it was indescribably piercing. Her hands Little by little, it slowly clenched into a fist, and the face under the veil was not very pretty. She felt that the Queen Mother was deliberately making things difficult, and this kind of making things difficult made her more determined to cooperate with Da Jin and let Liuli destroy her. At this moment, besides wanting Su Xinli's life, she also wanted to trample all the people present under their feet.

The Empress Dowager didn't let her get up right away, the maids around her were also standing respectfully, Xuanyuanlu just stood up, and was about to intercede for Qiu Ci, but before he even opened his mouth, Emperor Wen preempted, "What? Does the prince have any objections to my mother?"

Emperor Wen's tone was also very stern. Xuanyuanlu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, which was quite natural, and sat down again after answering no words.

Although the Gu snake's body is full of Gu insects, it's not thick, it's almost as thick as two thumbs of an adult man. The stone vat with ginseng and snow lotus is taller than Su Xinli. Before, everyone thought the snake was It's very long, but it's not true. It's less than [-] centimeters. After about a quarter of an hour, the air began to smell of burning. Originally, after things like insects and snakes were burnt, they emitted a strong smell. Smell, but not this one. The air exudes a strong stench, like the smell of rotting corpses. In addition, there is a clearly audible bloody smell. Everyone present covered their mouths and noses , his brows were also wrinkled, his complexion was not good-looking, and when he looked at Qiu Ci, his eyes were a little different.

It wasn't until the Gu snakes were almost burnt to ashes that the Queen Mother asked Qiu Ci to return to the original position and sit down. Qiu Ci got up, even though her face was covered with a veil, under the lamp, she could still vaguely see her face turning pale. Bai's whole body was also a little weak, with a look of heartache on her face, but she didn't disappoint Su Xinli at all, she looked at the queen mother slowly, and said softly: "Queen mother, I'm not feeling well, I'll take my leave first .”

It would be fine if it was just ginseng and snow lotus, but that Gu snake has poured her heart and soul into it for ten years, so how can she continue to chat and laugh with other people in this place? To become Su Xinli's foil, since that's the case, why should she humiliate herself here?
The Empress Dowager glanced at Qiu Ci and saw that something was wrong with her, but she didn't feel sorry for her, she just felt that she was to blame, but she was also a kind person, and she didn't make things difficult, she just waved her hand, "In that case, The saintess should go back to rest earlier, so you can take care of your master."

The last sentence was naturally addressed to the maids around Qiu Ci.As the saying goes, a visitor is a guest, if it is usual, or if it is replaced by other envoys, for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Empress Dowager will definitely ask the people around her to send Qiuci back in person, and she will call the imperial doctor for treatment, but she did not have it. Everyone can see that the Empress Dowager dislikes Qiu Ci.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the maid next to Qiu Ci stepped forward to support her. Qiu Ci gave her a cold look, but didn't ask her to help her. When she turned her head, her little snake was gone, only the little snake was left. The black ash was floating in the air. Although the ginseng and snow lotus were covered with a layer of gray, they were not damaged too much. When Qiu Ci saw it, his heart ached again, and he was extremely unwilling, especially after sweeping to the ground. Lan Yishu and Su Xinli were still standing together, even with her vicious eyes, when the two seemed to be a perfect match, she gritted her teeth and was furious.

She bit her lips tightly, and stared at the cloud of ashes for a long time, then she looked away, and she glanced at Su Xinli. With Yan Chenxi's face full of interest, her face was covered with a veil, and the corners of her slightly pursed lips suddenly drew an extremely cold and strange arc.

Su Xinli, you ruined my ten years of hard work and made me feel so embarrassed in front of everyone, how could I make it easier for you?
After Qiu Ci left, the fire was still burning, because the fire was not strong, if he was wearing something on his hands, it would not cause burns to people, Su Xinli had someone put the snow lotus and The ginseng was taken out. When the ginseng was taken out, many people were amazed. The round head of the ginseng had four forks. It looked like a doll, very similar to a human being. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has existed for hundreds of years. As for the snow lotus, its growth is not much different from that of ordinary snow lotus. Everyone thought it was a great thing.

"It's fortunate that my minister did not disgrace her life."

Su Xinli stepped forward and presented the things together. The empress dowager's stern face showed a smile when she saw the two black things. Although the ginseng and snow lotus were precious, what she was most happy about was Su Xinli made Liuli look good in front of all countries.

"There are plenty of high-quality ginseng and snow lotus in the imperial palace, and Aijia said before that this is a sacred object of Nanxia, ​​and I don't want it. I don't know what that snake is, but it is so weird."
