Chapter 528 The Dead Cat

The time has dragged to the point where it can no longer be delayed, and when Jiang Jinyue went back to the old lady's yard, the old lady hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Jinyue can understand the old lady's feelings, just like her current state of mind, what should be said has been said, and there are only reluctant tears left, instead of enduring the sadness of parting like this, it is better to wait for the spring of next year and enjoy the joy of reunion .

Jiang Jinyue entrusted the servant to give Jiang Zi a word of unknown meaning, and was about to leave the Hou Mansion with the child.

What she brought to Jiang Zi was the sentence: "Take care of the old lady and Si Jin." Jiang Zi guessed that he had already been drunk by the people in the front yard, so he didn't ask much.

Jiang Jinyue still had to go to the palace to salute and prepare to leave the city without delay.

The carriage was already prepared at the middle gate, and just as Jiang Jinyue stepped on the pedals of the carriage, a voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"The queen concubine."

Jiang Jinyue froze.

Bai Ziang Bai Zili poked his head out of the carriage and looked over curiously.

Jiang Jinyue frowned, not knowing whether it was out of guilt or something else, and scolded: "Get in the car, be careful of getting caught in the wind."

Bai Ziang's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything for the time being, and put down the curtains.

Only then did Jiang Jinyue turn her head, smiled at Mrs. Mei, and nodded slightly.

"Master Mei, what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, did the empress forget that you invited your subordinates here?"

Mrs. Mei stood in front of the door wall with her hands behind her back, raised her head slightly, and looked at Jiang Jinyue.

Jiang Jinyue's heart skipped a beat.

In the early hours of the morning, she happened to meet Mrs. Mei who came back from the front line. She was very guilty at that moment, so she made a random nonsense to divert Mrs. Mei's attention so that she could let her go. Now, this is the news of the world. ?

"Since Mrs. Mei is here to join in the fun, why don't you have a drink or two in the front yard?"

Jiang Jinyue smiled calmly, trying not to rush.

Master Mei remained in the same posture, staring fixedly at Jiang Jinyue, and did not respond, but instead asked, "Is your empress going back?"

"Yeah, the children are too late to sleep, and they can't sleep well at night."

As Jiang Jinyue said, she raised her foot and went up another step, obviously unwilling to entangle with Mrs. Mei any longer.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to ask, after going to the front line, what news did you know?"

Master Mei asked again.

Jiang Jinyue had already stepped into the carriage, and stood at the door of the carriage, and was stunned again.

"Master Mei naturally wants to tell the news to the royal father. I am a woman in the palace, and I don't understand the situation of the prince's frontline battle. I just wait for the imperial father to issue an edict."

"Is your empress really such a submissive character?"

Mrs. Mei narrowed her eyes.

Jiang Jinyue took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked directly at Master Mei.

"Otherwise? Does Master Mei know what kind of person I am?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that something happened in the palace last night, and the emperor is still lying on the bed and lethargic"

With her hands behind her back, Mrs. Mei took a step forward, getting closer to Jiang Jinyue.

"The subordinates searched overnight last night and found that the two guards guarding the empress were killed by extreme means. Does the empress know who killed it? And who is so capable that the emperor can be unconscious?"

"If I know, how about giving me the official position of Lord Mei?"

Jiang Jinyue looked at Master Mei and sneered.

"I was afraid that my third brother's wedding banquet would not be in time, so I asked the emperor for a letter and went out. How would I know what happened to the father? I don't know who killed those two guards."

Anyway, Mrs. Mei has no evidence, and there is no fingerprint verification in this dynasty. It is difficult to obtain evidence and investigate the case. Unless Mrs. Mei can sew the heads of the two guards at the gate of Wude Hall to save her life, and come to identify her on the spot, otherwise Jiang Jinyue Not at all.

Master Mei looked at Jiang Jinyue for a long while, then suddenly smiled.

"Why didn't your empress ask, how is Prince Zong doing now?"

"So what if I ask?"

Jiang Jinyue asked again, looking at Mrs. Mei, she blinked her eyelashes in the cold wind, looking timid and coquettish.

"My lord, he didn't send me any news, but he just didn't want me and the child to get involved. Why should I force my lord to give me an explanation?"

"The subordinates hope that what the empress said is the truth."

Master Mei didn't move at all, and when Jiang Jinyue was about to end the topic and go back to the carriage, Master Mei said another sentence.

"Actually, after Lord Zong was defeated last time, the emperor dispatched elite troops to him. The morale of the soldiers mobilized by Lord Zong was greatly boosted, and they had already beaten the enemy back. It turns out that it was the emperor's eyeliner who was bribed. , The false news was sent back, just to cause chaos in the capital, the emperor and Zong Wangye are at odds."

"Master Mei has been with the royal father for so many years, when did he ever see the royal father really help the Zong prince?"

Jiang Jinyue stood at the door of the carriage with a deep voice.

Anyway, the old emperor can't live anymore, Master Mei is destined to find a new master, Jiang Jinyue is not afraid that this will offend the old emperor, she turned her face and continued, "I'm a woman in this palace who doesn't understand anything, but my grandmother Just give Baptist an explanation."

Jiang Jinyue raised her eyes slightly, looked straight at Master Mei, and said slowly: "When I was a child, my grandmother raised a kitten, and that cat was very arrogant. Except for the food my grandmother gave me, it would not touch it at all, no matter what I did. Hey, it doesn't even want to look at me, Mrs. Mei, guess what happened to that cat afterwards?"

"Your Majesty, teach me."

"Grandmother had a serious illness once, and she couldn't continue to feed the cat. The cat wouldn't eat anything passed by anyone. On a snowy night, she froze to death in the yard. Grandmother woke up. , then told Baptist the truth."

Jiang Jinyue raised the cotton curtain, turned her head and no longer looked at Mrs. Mei, but her voice was clear and clear, and slowly penetrated, as if it was right next to her ear.

"Loyalty is a good thing, but if you follow the wrong master, foolish loyalty will kill yourself."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Jinyue lifted her foot, got into the carriage, and shouted to the coachman outside: "Go back to the palace."

The carriage moved forward, Jiang Jinyue took the teacup and poured himself a big mouthful of tea.

Mrs. Mei can naturally guess that the emperor's poison was her hands and feet. Jiang Jinyue said so much, just to let Mrs. Mei turn a blind eye. After all, the country is about to change hands. Frozen to death at night because of being arrogant and persistent.

The meaning of Mr. Mei's words is that Li Zongyu is fighting on the front line well, and he really won't come back tonight
But she still has to go, there are not enough hidden guards, she can't stop those people of Queen Hui at all.

After walking a long distance, Bai Zili suddenly asked, "Mother, did you really freeze a cat to death when you were a child?"

"Frozen to death, your mother was most afraid of cats when she was a child. Grandma ordered everyone in the Hou Mansion to keep cats, not even to smell like cats."

Jiang Jinyue rolled her eyes and poured herself another sip of tea.

Thinking of the poor and fragile original owner, Jiang Jinyue sighed faintly.

After leaving the capital, she will really, truly bid farewell to the original owner, right?
Before he could turn his thoughts around, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Luluo exclaimed softly outside.

"Your Majesty, look quickly, this direction"
