The mad doctor who is the evil king chasing his wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 1281 I heard that you came to Qidu with King Qi?

After a while, a little maid finally came out from the inside. The little maid walked to Shui Lingyue and said expressionlessly: "The empress dowager is here to invite you, follow me."

Shui Lingyue followed the little maid and walked in.

Shui Lingyue followed the little palace maid to the main room of the Millennium Palace, at the head, sat an old lady in her sixties.

Judging by her attire, she should be the empress dowager, the owner of the Millennium Palace.

Although the Empress Dowager's hair has turned gray, her face is still well maintained, her complexion is fair, and the wrinkles on her forehead are not very obvious. It can be seen from the eyebrows that the Empress Dowager must have been a beauty when she was young.

The queen mother sat there, full of energy, with a pair of eyes, clear and cold, without a trace of emotion, giving people a feeling that she was difficult to get close to.

On the lower right of the Empress Dowager, sits a woman in palace attire. The woman looks about 35 or [-] years old, with an oval face, slender eyebrows flying obliquely into the temples, and a pair of slender and long peach blossom eyes below. She has a charm of her own, although she is not the best age, but she is like mellow wine, as she grows older, her charm becomes more charming.

This woman is Concubine Ji Shu, one of the four concubines in the palace.

When Shui Lingyue was looking at Concubine Ji Shu, Concubine Ji Shu was also looking at Shui Lingyue.

Because of the incident of the girls chasing and killing when they first came to Qidu, Shui Lingyue put on a human skin mask when she went out.

Concubine Ji Shu's eyes were fixed on Shui Lingyue's face, her heart was full of doubts and puzzles.

Most of the things about Xiao Yichen's stay in Nanchu had already been heard by someone. It was said that Xiao Yichen was bewitched by a fox with a charming appearance and brought this woman back.

However, seeing Shui Lingyue now, Concubine Ji Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

The young girl in front of her, apart from her pair of eyes that were very agile, had a face that was ordinary, without any special features, and she was not considered a great beauty.

Concubine Ji Shu couldn't figure out how such a nondescript woman attracted Xiao Yichen's attention, and made Xiao Yichen take her all the way from Southern Chu to Northern Qi.

You know, Qidu has no shortage of beauties, even Concubine Ji Shu once sent beauties to Xiao Yichen, but Xiao Yichen didn't like any of them, but he just took a fancy to this ordinary woman with ordinary status and appearance.

How could Concubine Ji Shu not be surprised by this?

Beside the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ji Shu stood some court ladies and eunuchs.

Seeing Shui Lingyue standing there, an eunuch immediately shouted: "When you see the Empress Dowager, don't kneel down to salute."

Shui Lingyue had no choice but to kneel down, bowed to the empress dowager at the head and said: "Ministers see the empress dowager, empress dowager Jin An."

When she came in, Shui Lingyue had a premonition that the queen mother was deliberately embarrassing herself, so when she came in, she didn't take the initiative to kneel down, because she knew that after she knelt down, the queen mother would not get herself up so quickly.

Sure enough, the queen mother didn't have the slightest intention to call her up, and she didn't speak.

After waiting for a while, Concubine Ji Shu, who was sitting at the head of the Queen Mother, spoke first: "You are Shui Lingyue? Shui Lingyue from Southern Chu?"

Shui Lingyue lowered her head slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The civilian girl is Shui Lingyue. I don't know why the Empress Dowager invited the civilian girl into the palace?"

As she said that, Shui Lingyue looked at the queen mother with a pair of eyes, and there was a question in her eyes.

The queen mother still didn't speak, and Concubine Ji Shu continued to speak: "I heard that you came to Qidu with King Qi?"
