Playful Queen

Chapter 265

Zi Yechen knew that some things should not be too urgent, things will be reversed, anyway, he is afraid that she will leave his side, "Well, after I finish handling the political affairs, I will have dinner with you."

Mengli didn't respond, and walked towards the hall, Lvyi pulled Yuheng, followed quickly, and left the emperor outside.

Xiao Quanzi and the eunuchs and maids behind this can see that the emperor is different, he is always close to the empress and wants to protect her, but the empress doesn't appreciate it, it seems that the emperor is pretending to be the empress this time Board up.

Zi Yechen turned around and boarded the chariot. Indeed, he had been out of the palace for more than a month, and he really had a lot of things to do, so he headed towards the imperial study.

After letting Lvyi take the child back to the house, she called Xiao Zhuozi, Lvyi's elder brother, she was more trustworthy, and in addition, Xiao Zhuozi's martial arts practiced in the past five years had almost caught up with his master, plus Following Tu Mocheng as an errand next to the emperor, he is naturally no different than an ordinary eunuch. This is why Zi Yechen arranged for him to come here. Apart from knowing that she trusts the original person in Fengyi Palace, he also wants Xiao Zhuozi to protect him. They can also do things for her, or make arrangements through him.

In the main hall, Mengli leaned on the back of her chair, and when she saw Xiao Zhuozi walking in, she said, "Xiao Zhuozi, help me find out what happened to Concubine Li back then and who the Liu family has been close to recently. Come and go, you can’t do this alone, you go to your master and tell him to let him help you. I want to get the news as soon as possible.”

Five years ago, when she went to Xiahou Villa, she did see a person who looked exactly like Concubine Li. She had always suspected this, but she had already left the palace, and it had nothing to do with her, but now because of With the death of Concubine Li, the Liu family's influence gradually expanded after being rewarded by the Empress Dowager, so she had to check the matter of Concubine Li again. .

"Yes, I'm going to tell the master right now, slave." Hearing the empress's tone, Xiao Zhuozi also understood that the matter was of great importance, and immediately took orders respectfully. Moreover, the master also said that the empress had to do whatever she ordered, and she couldn't do it. He immediately asked him to deal with it, thinking, he quickly walked out.

After watching Xiao Zhuozi leave, she leaned on the soft couch and thought for a while, then thought of the child Yu Heng. From the time he left Qiyang City to now, he looked a little sullen, especially when he returned to the palace. He became even more indifferent, afraid that he didn't like this place, thinking about it, he prepared to get up and go to Yuheng's room to see him.

At this moment, I heard Xiao Guizi rushing in to report.

"Master, the imperial concubine brought Prince Qi Rui to pay a visit."

Zi Qirui?She did hear that this child was born by Yunshang back then, and later committed suicide several times in a frenzy. She was afraid of hurting the child, so she entrusted the child to Yun Xi to raise him. This child should be better than Yu Heng and Yu Heng. The heart is big for a few months.

Thinking about it, Xia Yunxi had already led Qi Rui in, although she couldn't speak, she saluted respectfully.

After all, this is the first time that she and the imperial concubine have met alone. She is wearing a green skirt, her delicate face has no makeup, her temples are raised high, she is decorated with gold hairpins and beads, and her eyes are as bright as stars. , the appearance has not changed much in these years, but the expression is more noble than the dumb slave back then. For her, there is one thing that makes Mengli unbelievable, but she can't think of it at all. She is kind enough to raise the child of the person who once wanted to kill her, and she still takes care of it carefully. If it was herself, she would never forgive such a betrayal, let alone raise the child of her life with the one she loves so kindly. Going to seize power in the harem, until now the power is still with Concubine Hui. If she does this, it seems that she really loves Zi Yechen.

Thinking of this, Meng Li frowned, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

After Yun Xi saluted, she turned her head to look at Qi Rui, nodded, and saw the little boy obediently came forward to salute, "Qi Rui pays respects to the Queen Mother."

As he said that, Qi Rui raised his head to look at the woman sitting on the phoenix couch, and was taken aback for a moment. He had naturally seen many beautiful women in the harem, but this queen mother was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Girl, I don't know why, but he has a good impression of the Queen Mother, but he keeps telling himself in his heart, don't trust anyone, because everyone here may harm you, but he is still in his own heart. I asked this in my heart, if she is different from others, can she help me?
Mengli also happened to see those dim little eyes, but she could tell from those eyes that this child was different from ordinary children, wise but sad, it was that kind of eyes, there was something she wanted to dig out. impulse.

"Qi Rui, right? Get up quickly." Meng Li waved her hand, signaling for Jiaoyue to grant the seat to Prince Qi Rui, but she cast her gaze on Yun Xi with a strange gaze, while Yun Xi He also handed the paper in his hand to Haoyue, and she handed it to herself.

To be honest, she was really unfamiliar with communicating with a person who couldn't speak, so she opened the letter, which actually said that according to the rules, this Qi Rui would adopt her name and be raised by her Looking at the center of her brows, she frowned, and said: "Concubine Rou has been taking care of Prince Qi Rui for so many years, and the two of them naturally have feelings, so let Concubine Rou continue to take care of her. I believe Concubine Rou will treat him well. Qi Rui."

It's not that she doesn't want to bring up this child. According to the rules, of course she asked herself, but she definitely didn't think so in her heart, so why did she want to win people's love?

It's also clear, Yun Xi doesn't have much on her mind, and it's inconvenient for her to talk to the Queen, so she quickly got up and took Qi Rui back, but Meng Li was always concerned by Qi Rui's eyes, Why is there such a gray feeling in the eyes of such a young child?
At this time, Piaoxue, who had been standing behind Mengli, said, "Master."

"Say something directly."

"Concubine Hui has been in charge of the harem these years. Although the imperial concubine is not in power, they can't ignore it. Master's precautions are indispensable..."

When she first entered the palace, Piaoxue also gave herself a lot of information and analyzed many things that she could not answer. Well, she didn't want to go back this time, even if they didn't move, she would lure them out of the cave one by one.
