The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 316
"I will repay my kindness?" Empress Zhao was furious immediately, she jumped up and pointed at Concubine Degui's nose and scolded: "I just fulfilled your hypocrisy and righteousness. Your Majesty guards that little bit of gentleman's intention every day, but in fact, he has long been wishing to give up She is under him, and you, you seem to be friendly with her, but in fact you just want to use her to win favor. If she really follows His Majesty, based on your relationship, His Majesty will take a look at you more! "

"Snapped--"

With a loud bang, Empress Zhao covered her cheeks, and stared at Qing'er, the girl behind Concubine De Gui, in disbelief: "You lowly maidservant, how dare you hit me?"

Not to be outdone, Qing'er stared back, and said bitterly: "What's wrong with beating you? You are just a commoner, and a sinner, not even the lowest slave in the palace."

Empress Zhao was greatly humiliated, she hated this sharp-mouthed girl immediately, she looked at her face carefully, and suddenly felt a trace of familiarity, and when she looked carefully again, she immediately felt that the sky above her head was darkened. down.She was so shocked that she sat down on the bench, but she couldn't sit still and fell to the ground.

She raised her finger to Qing'er, and said in surprise and fear: "You...you are the little girl next to that bastard Bai Jiu!"

"Don't talk about being a slut." Qing'er looked at her contemptuously, "Although Miss Bai came from the world and has an upright personality, she is much better than you self-proclaimed dignified daughters. When it comes to being cheap, you have a lot of shame on your back." Your Majesty's daughter-in-law who hooked up with others, what right do you have to say about her?"

Queen Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't you die? Back then I clearly..."

"Yes, you obviously sent me to the Department of Punishment, and your cronies came to supervise the sentence in person. I had no way out." Qing'er said in a cold tone, "But you probably didn't expect that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Although Miss Bai was caught in the trap, she did not follow Your Majesty as you wished. On the contrary, Miss Bai made a big disturbance in the palace, alarming the Queen Mother, and the harem was in chaos. punishment."

"Therefore, Concubine Degui took advantage of the chaos to rescue you. She has always brought you by my side all these years, but I have never noticed." Queen Zhao closed her eyes and told herself to be negligent, otherwise with this disaster, She got rid of Concubine Degui a long time ago, where did Wei Shi come from today?
Qing'er was cold and didn't answer, Concubine De Gui answered indifferently: "In the early years, Qing'er was young, and she was raised in a dark room in my palace, and you never entered my palace, so naturally you couldn't find her. Later, Qing'er Gradually growing up, my appearance changed a lot, and I went out once in a while, but no one recognized me, so I knew I could bring her by my side."

When she said this, she coughed for a while, gasped for a while, and then signaled Qing'er with her eyes: "Eunuch Qi Chun is waiting outside, it will be bad if the time is late. Go and invite Eunuch to come in."

"Yes." Qing'er blessed her body and went out to invite someone.

Only Concubine Degui and Empress Zhao were left in the room. Concubine Degui looked up at the sky, and suddenly said in a low voice: "When I first entered the palace, you treated me well. What wishes do you still have unfulfilled?"

"Don't let him die easily!" Queen Zhao gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

Concubine Degui straightened her waist and said calmly: "My life is not long, I may not be able to realize this wish."

"Then let him taste the pain while you are alive!" Empress Zhao stared into her eyes and said word by word: "I know what you want, but now Bai Jiu has not lived in this place for a long time. In the world, she doesn't need that jade token anymore."

"After all, it's her wish." Concubine De Gui sighed lightly: "I always want to do this last thing for her after we get to know each other. I agree to what you said, and if I live forever Today, I will definitely try my best to let him try the heart-piercing pain in this world. You can always tell me now, where is that thing?"

Empress Zhao took a deep look at her, turned her ear to her, and muttered a few words.

Concubine Degui's eyes flashed with astonishment, and she quickly nodded in amazement: "Put it there, no wonder no one has found it yet."

The palace door was opened again, and Qi Chun carried the white silk and poisonous wine into the inner hall, with a see-through smile on his old face, respectful and impersonal: "Empress, white silk and poisonous wine, you choose yourself?"

Empress Zhao glanced at him, reached out to pick up the poisonous wine without hesitation, and drank it down in one gulp.

Concubine Degui supported Qing'er's hand, and ordered in a low voice: "Go back to the palace."

Qing'er responded, and the master and servant came out of the inner hall.Wei Shi and Mu Yunge had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when they saw her come out, her face was more than three points paler than before, Wei Shi asked: "What else can the concubine mother say to her, after talking for so long!"

"It's just some old stuff, nothing special." Concubine Degui pinched her eyebrows wearily, unwilling to say more.

Wei Shi wanted to ask again, but Mu Yunge squeezed his hand, and he had no choice but to keep silent.Mu Yunge winked at Qing'er, Wei Shi immediately understood, but still shook his head.This Qing'er has always been of one mind with Concubine De Gui, if Concubine De Gui didn't plan to say anything, Qing'er couldn't ask anything from her mouth either.

Several people went back to the palace together, Concubine Degui was tired, she took off her makeup and went to bed to rest.

The maid brought her medicine to drink, she was about to rest with her eyes closed, when she suddenly opened her eyelids again, looked at Wei Shi and said softly: "Shi'er, I want to eat Yipinzhai's snow lotus, you take Qing'er to buy some .”

"Mother and Concubine wants to eat, so I'll buy it for you. Qing'er is a court lady, so it's troublesome to come and go." Wei Shi said hastily.

Concubine De Gui shook her head: "You are the king of the county. Although His Majesty loves you, it is more convenient for you to come and go than the other brothers, but there are still restrictions. Besides, going back and forth will waste time, let Qing'er go."

Wei Shi had no choice but to agree.

Mu Yunge lowered his head, feeling very puzzled.Concubine Degui has never been a greedy person, why would she suddenly want to eat snow hibiscus?

Qing'er brought the silver taels, and before leaving the door, she glanced at Concubine De Gui, Concubine De Gui nodded her head, and looked towards the east with misty eyes.Qing'er understood, lowered her head and gestured with her hands, followed Wei Shi and Mu Yunge out.

Naturally, Wei Shi and Mu Yunge also saw that little move, and they took Qing'er out with tacit understanding.

Wei Shi winked at Mu Yunge, and Mu Yunge approached Qing'er, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has been taking a lot of medicine recently, so it's inevitable that her mouth will feel bitter. I'm afraid Xue Furong is not sweet enough, how about another candied fruit?"

"The empress usually eats candied fruit, but today I suddenly want to eat snow hibiscus, and the taste is good." Qing'er lowered her head, and replied calmly: "The snow hibiscus is not sweet enough, but it tastes better when paired with pear flower cake. It's very good. If you add some plum soup, it won't be greasy, and the lady will feel better after eating it."

Mu Yunge got the answer he wanted, so he stopped talking, and together with Wei Shi, first sent Qing'er to Yipinzhai to buy pastries. The two of them looked at Qing'er without blinking, wanting to see what she would do What kind of tricks are coming.

The man asked Qing'er: "What do you want, girl?"

"Buy some snow hibiscus." Qing'er whispered.

The waiter was taken aback, and then said: "The snow hibiscus has been sold out, and fresh ones are being made, can you wait for a while, girl?"

Qing'er nodded, and apologized to Wei Shi and Mu Yunge: "Your Highness, Zhen Shu, I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer. Your Majesty really wants to eat, so I can only trouble Your Highness to send the slaves into the palace later." .”

Wei Shi was full of doubts, naturally he refused to leave, and immediately said: "It's okay, just wait for a while."

After a stick of incense, the newly prepared snow lotus was brought over from the back kitchen.Fresh and hot, the clerk hurriedly packed a box, Qing'er said again: "Pack two more boxes."

The clerk pretended as he said, and Qing'er handed two boxes of them to Wei Shi and Mu Yunge, and said with a smile, "Thank you Your Highness and Zhen Shu. Recently, my mother is ill, and she didn't prepare snacks for Your Highness like before. These two boxes of snow Take the hibiscus as a gift from the empress to His Highness and Zhenshu, please take it back to your residence and taste it."

"Thank you." After waiting for a long time, but did not find anything wrong, Wei Shi and Mu Yunge were disappointed, and took it.

It wasn't until Qing'er entered the palace gate that the two felt lost and felt that something was wrong.Glancing at the Xue Furong in Qing'er's hand, the two immediately said in unison: "There is a problem with the pastry!"

The two looked at each other, and quickly wanted to enter the palace, but the palace door was closed at this moment.

Mu Yunge said angrily: "It's all my fault for being careless, I didn't find anything strange."

"It's not your fault, I didn't realize it either." Wei Shi squinted his eyes, looked at the closed thick palace door, and said in a slightly disappointed voice, "I underestimated Qing'er. When did the concubine mother have such a powerful girl by her side? , She was able to hide it from the two of us. Tell me, how did she succeed?"

"Could it be Yipinzhai?" Mu Yunge recalled the situation at that time, the most likely thing is that Qing'er took advantage of their unpreparedness and communicated with others.

Wei Shi shook his head, he had been staring at Yipinzhai's clerk at that time, no matter whether it was asking questions or making snacks, he had no contact with Qing'er.If it is said that they have tampered with the snacks, but the snacks are also casually packed and given to them, how can Qing'er guarantee that they will not take it by mistake?

The two of them couldn't figure it out. They studied all the way to Mu's house, but still had no clue.

Mu Jinran waited for a long time, and when he saw Mu Yunge come back with the pastries, he cheered, ran up and took Mu Yunge and Wei Shi's hands, and asked with a smile: "Sister, where did you go with Brother Wei? The princess came to see you."

"Where is she?" Mu Yunge asked hurriedly when he heard that Nangong Jin had come.

Mu Jinran pointed to West Street: "I just sent it away!"

Mu Yunge pondered for a moment, secretly guessing in his heart that it must be because of Nangong Jin's and Lin Juzheng's marriage.

Mu Jinran took her hand, but with the other hand he pulled Wei Shi, trying to fight Wei Shi.

Wei Shi's martial arts is the best among the noble children in Kyoto. When Mu Jinran was in the military camp, he often heard other generals praise him, and he was always itchy.Since the competition on New Year's Eve, Mu Jinran's love for martial arts has reached a new level. Finally, when Wei Shixian was free, how could he be willing to give up this opportunity?

Wei Shi also liked this clever little brother-in-law, and the three of them returned to Ningbi Pavilion, because they were too lazy to pick up weapons, and they were discussing each other again, so Wei Shi picked a firewood at random, and started a fight with Mu Jinran.

Mu Jinran has been full of confidence these days, how could he think that in front of Wei Shi, he couldn't even pass twenty moves, and his mouth became more and more pouty.

Wei Shi knew that he was going to be ruthless, and quickly comforted him: "It's not your fault for Jinran, it's because weapons are not in your hands, and Jinran is not used to them. If you pick a weapon randomly in the military camp, brother Wei will not be your opponent."

"That's right, it's a matter of location!" Before Mu Jinran could speak, Mu Yunge suddenly realized, and exclaimed in surprise.
