County Lord Changning

Chapter 338
Although the queen mother has preferred her granddaughter since she was a child, Sima Jiao has always been her granddaughter. It would be a lie to say that she doesn't love Sima Jiao. In the past two months, she has also seen Sima Jiao change from that arrogant princess to a woman who wants to talk. A careful little girl, although she has the heart to protect her, she doesn't want to chill her daughter and granddaughter. Now that her granddaughter has figured it out, she wants to let Xiao Yunshu out, and then take Sima Jiao out of the palace to cultivate her relationship. She is naturally happy to see it happen.

At this time, seeing the queen pursue Qin Changning's begging the emperor to release Xiao Yunshu, her complexion was naturally not good, and her tone was not as good as before, and she ordered to chase away guests in a deep voice, "Queen, I don't need you here. I'm with you all the time, there are so many things in the harem, go back and do your work."

The queen looked at Qin Changning in disbelief after hearing what the queen mother said. She didn't expect that Qin Changning would suddenly throw this topic to the queen mother, and let the queen mother end the topic. , Chen Qie didn't mean that, and Chen Qie naturally hoped that Jiao Er would be well, there was no other meaning."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand without even raising her eyebrows, "The Ai family knows you are a good queen, so go back, the Ai family is exhausted." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Qin Changning and said, "You two sisters also want to visit the Royal Garden. Let's go, come to Xiangning Palace for lunch in an hour."

Qin Changning and Qin Miao got up and saluted, followed the queen out of Xiangning Palace.

The queen looked at Qin Changning all the way and hesitated to speak. Qin Changning raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I wonder if Aunt Huang has time to accompany Ning'er to the Imperial Garden?"

Finally waiting for Qin Changning's words, the Queen nodded hurriedly, "Of course, Auntie is fine on weekdays, and Ning Rou has been in the Imperial Hospital all day long, so she just wants Ning'er to accompany Auntie to relieve boredom."

Qin Changning smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation to the queen, "Auntie please."

Qin Miao pulled Qin Changning's hand, and indicated with her eyes whether she could not follow, Qin Changning smiled at her, and looked at Zisu, "Aunt Zisu, take Miaoer for a walk in the imperial garden, parting Too far away, as far as I can see."

The queen also looked at Bing Zhu and the others behind her, "You also go to accompany the county master, so that I can serve you well."

Bingzhu and the others did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly followed Qin Miao and the others to leave. Qin Changning and the queen were left for a while. Qin Changning looked in the direction of the imperial garden and said softly, "The sun is too big here. Go inside the arbor."

The queen responded, stretched out her hand to grab Qin Changning, with an anxious expression on her face, "Ning'er, everything you told your aunt just now was a lie, right? Why did you suddenly release Concubine Xiao Shu? Did Sima Jiao threaten you? "

Qin Changning looked at the queen holding his hand, frowned, looked at the imperial garden not far away, and said, "Why didn't the emperor's aunt wait until he was in the pavilion? Ning'er will wear clothes today for the rest of the weather." The clothes are a bit heavy, and they are very hot in the sun."

Seeing Qin Changning's unhurried look, the queen frowned, nodded and said, "It's my aunt who didn't think carefully, let's talk about it in the pavilion."

When the two arrived in the gazebo, the queen couldn't wait to look at Qin Changning. Qin Changning looked at the queen and sneered in his heart. Thinking of the queen's attitude towards her today and the attitude towards her in the past, Qin Changning looked up at the queen. Queen, asked, "Auntie Huang is blaming Ning'er for releasing Concubine Xiao Shu from the cold palace without asking your opinion."

The queen paused slightly, and pulled the corner of her mouth, "Where is Ning'er talking? Auntie just can't figure out why you suddenly rescued Xiao Yunshu from the cold palace. Besides, aren't you on Auntie's side, Ning'er?" ?”

The corners of Qin Changning's eyes twitched slightly, and he smiled slightly, "Auntie is right, Ning'er is on your side, that's why he begged the emperor's uncle to release Concubine Xiao Shu from the cold palace, otherwise Ning'er can completely ignore this matter."

A look of hesitation flashed across the queen's face, and she asked in a low voice, "Ning'er, what do you mean?" Could it be that what she thought, the Sima family had something to do with Chang Ning, and threatened Chang Ning to let Chang Ning release her mother? Concubine's?

Qin Changning smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at the queen, folded his hands on his stomach and took a step back, "I don't know if my aunt knows about the fact that His Royal Highness's temper has become irritable in the past two months."

The queen was slightly taken aback. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the prince?Impossible, impossible... She stabilized her mind and looked at Qin Changning, "Ning'er, what does this mean? Why can't aunt understand?"

"Is your empress really ignorant, or is she deliberately helping the prince to conceal it?" Qin Changning raised his eyes to look at the queen and asked in a deep voice.

When the queen heard that Qin Changning's address had changed from a close aunt to a cold empress, she paused in her heart, lowered her voice and asked Qin Changning, "Is this related to the prince? What did the prince do to make Sima Jiao Are you holding the handle?"

"Ning'er will take care of this matter for the empress, so you don't have to worry about it any longer." Qin Changning looked at Qin Miao, who was not far from the gazebo, shuttled among the flowers, with a smile on his lips, "My lady, if you I really want to know what happened, you can ask the prince about the death of the young lady of the Champion Hou's mansion, the death of Eunuch Laifu, and the dead bodies in the wells of the East Palace..."

The queen was stunned when she heard Qin Changning casually mentioning the deaths of so many people. She looked up at Qin Changning in disbelief, "Why can't Aunt Ning'er understand what Ning'er said?"

Qin Changning sighed, looked at the queen and said, "That's why Ning'er didn't want to tell you, because I'm afraid you won't accept it, but you are still asking Ning'er like that in Xiangning Palace today, how do you want Ning'er to answer you?" What else can Ning Er say besides saying that she forgave Sima Jiao and Concubine Xiao Shu?"

The queen's eyes lit up immediately, she grabbed Qin Changning's hand and asked, "Ning'er, do you mean that you did that to protect the prince?"

Qin Changning frowned, and withdrew his hand indiscriminately, "Ning'er just didn't want to make you sad, Auntie Huang, that's why she did that, but Ning'er naturally wouldn't let Xiao Yunshu live like a noble concubine again. On a good day, let her come out of the cold palace and be a concubine is enough, and let her taste the warmth and coldness of human feelings."

The queen's hanging heart was finally relieved after hearing Qin Changning's words. Qin Changning knew that she had achieved her goal when she saw the queen's expression. She smiled at the queen and said softly, "There are many people in the imperial garden now All the rare and precious flowers are blooming, let's go and have a look?"

After the empress felt at ease, she immediately felt in the mood to appreciate the flowers, and she smiled and led Qin Changning to Qin Miao and the others, "Yes, there are craftsmen who have cultivated many new varieties in the imperial garden this year, let's go and have a look."
