She was not qualified to attend this dinner, but she was invited by a post. At that time, she didn't quite understand it until the Empress Dowager summoned her. All this seemed too mysterious.

Although she had been raised in the Marquis house since childhood and had seen many dignitaries, she dared not think of the Imperial Palace and the Empress Dowager.

"My palace and Mrs. Hou are old times. I heard that she was seriously ill this time. I wanted to visit her, but I was entangled in affairs. Fortunately, I called you to inquire."

The Empress Dowager said lazily. Between the lines, she was concerned about Mrs. Fu's condition, but there was not much pity in her look.

Cheng wanmiao naturally didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager. She bowed her head from beginning to end and replied respectfully: "my aunt's condition has been repeated. The imperial doctor said that her Qi is depressed inside and her body is injured. Recently, it's getting worse and worse. I think it's running out of time... Civilian women..."

Speaking of this, she looked sad and tears were dripping in her eyes: "the people's daughter thanked the Empress Dowager for her aunt's concern. May the emperor's grace be great and help her aunt support more time."

She finished slowly. The Empress Dowager didn't answer. She just felt inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, but she didn't know why.

But the Empress Dowager didn't speak. She could only wait respectfully, looking at her nose, nose and heart.

"So, old lady Fu's illness is no better." Zheng Shuwen said with a quick sneer.

The laughter made Cheng wanmiao feel a little hairy at the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help taking the courage to secretly take a look at the empress dowager, but she suddenly looked at her cold eyes as cold as the moon, which frightened her all over and quickly took back her sight.

"Mrs. Fu's illness is sudden and strange. Do you think there is any problem?" Zheng Shuwen sat up and was a little impatient. I don't know whether it was because Cheng wanmiao was impatient to peek at her just now or because she was sleepy.

When Cheng wanmiao heard this, her heart was half cold, and she hesitated and replied, "people's daughter... People's daughter doesn't know."

Why do you have the illusion that you are exposed to the hot sun and have nowhere to hide.

"Do you know or dare not know?" Zheng Shuwen had lost all her patience and suddenly said, "Cheng wanmiao, you have the courage to poison my royal concubine of the Qi Dynasty. Do you know your sin!"

Suddenly, Cheng wanmiao was hit on the forehead by a ceramic tea cup before she could react——

With a bang, the bright red blood flowed down.

But she didn't care to wipe it, so she knelt down on the ground: "empress dowager, spare your life, Empress Dowager... Min Nu, min Nu was blinded by lard for a while, not intentionally! Empress dowager, spare your life. "

She was already guilty and could not stand the temptation, so the Empress Dowager just gave it a little color and told it all.

A hopeless look.

Zheng Shuwen's eyes and eyebrows were all disgusted, but she let her kowtow her head and spare her life, ignored it, turned around and walked into the inner hall.

"Empress dowager, what should I do with this man?" Aster followed and asked Zheng Shuwen.

Zheng Shumei yawned: "I'm too sleepy. I'll try her when I wake up."

The implication is that Cheng wanmiao will kneel all night tonight. When will Zheng Shuwen remember and try her again tomorrow.

……

Fu tingye and Hua Qingxue come to the gate of the palace. They don't want to be stopped by the city guard.

"The general is sorry. His subordinates have received an order that Mrs. Si Bing can't leave the palace tonight." The bodyguard came forward and explained to Fu tingye.

Hua Qingxue was stunned. What does the Empress Dowager mean?

Their actions are now limited

Fu tingye's face was ugly, and his eyes were like ice slag: "I want to see who dares to stop me“

"This..." the bodyguard was very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to move.

Hua Qingxue is the one above. If he is let go, he will finish playing; But fighting the general seems to be over.

What can I do?

"What happened?" The burly man in armor walked slowly, his face full of flesh, and his eyebrows were caged with layers of deep hostility: "isn't this general of the northern king of the imperial court Town, general, why are you embarrassed with my subordinates?"

It seems that he is the general guarding the city, but the comers are not good.

Fu tingye glanced at him coldly and didn't speak.

The man's eyes then fell on Hua Qingxue and smiled abruptly: "Madam Si Bing, now you are a noble man in our imperial palace. This palace gate must not be out. Please forgive me for my embarrassment."

"What if I have to take her away." Fu tingye stepped forward and stood in front of Hua Qingxue, looking down at each other.

Although the man was burly, his momentum was obviously poor, and his eyes were soon defeated: "general, you are also a member of the army. You should know that military orders are like mountains, so please don't embarrass your subordinates."

In a flash of cold light, Fu tingye suddenly had a short knife in his hand, and the edge of the knife had reached the most vulnerable place on each other's neck.

"You can choose to let people go... Or not?" Fu tingye's voice was cold, as if he had turned into a devil in hell for a moment.

The man was so frightened that he regretted why he was so close to the devil just now, but this is the palace... The palace!

Why is it so arrogant in other people's territory?

"Will... General, I will release... Release people." The man trembled and lost half his soul.

"But Sir, this is the order above." The bodyguard below hesitated.

"Waste! Don't you see my current situation? Do you want me to die if you don't let go? " The man suddenly roared, and the bodyguard below could only get out of the way.

Hua Qingxue walks in front. Fu tingye still clasps the man's throat and follows behind her.

Outside the palace gate, Qin Laowu, haishixuan and others were all there. Not only that, they stood guard neatly behind them, all of Fu tingye's own soldiers.

If we say that the embarrassment of the guards just guarding the city has made Hua Qingxue smell the tense atmosphere, and what he sees with his own eyes at the moment is enough to cause the smoke of war.

"Has this matter reached such a serious level?" Hua Qingxue unconsciously grabs Fu tingye's clothes.

Fu tingye lowers his head. In the moonlight, the woman's eyes are as helpless as deer. They are clear and lovable.

"Is it... There was an omen before you entered the palace?" Hua Qingxue bowed his head. Everything at night came too suddenly. His Highness the third of the Liao Kingdom threw out bait one after another. King Ning and Zuo Xiang added fuel to the fire, and the emperor's authority was weakened by the Empress Dowager

It's all a coincidence.

It's like a carefully arranged chess game.

And she and Fu tingye are both deep in it.

Rao is not good at such a game of power, but she can also realize a little.

"Yes." Fu tingye said in a deep voice, "Xiao Han has been making small moves behind his back recently“

"Just to get me?" Hua Qingxue was slightly stunned: "I really don't understand this man. He obviously covets my new weapon, but makes people think he loves me."

Hua Qingxue sighed.

"Get in the car." Fu tingye came to her side, gently stretched out his hand and took her into the carriage: "go back first."

Late at night, the Empress Dowager had fallen asleep, but the city guard insisted that aster wake the Empress Dowager up and report something important.

Aster came to the Queen Mother's bed and whispered, "it's He Yi, the chief bodyguard of the imperial palace."

"I don't expect him to keep useless things," the Empress Dowager paused and said lazily, "let him go back."

"Yes."

Hua Qingxue sat in the carriage, listening to the rustling sound of the wheels, and was a little upset.

Looking back on what Xiao Han promised tonight to repair and form an alliance with Daqi forever, she believed that such nonsense would not be believed by the court ministers present, but the land of the 18 state capitals was attractive.

The land ceded by the former emperor does not need to go through a huge war, nor does it need complex political means. It can be obtained by sacrificing a woman.

A very good deal.

He's a man of brains. He'll agree.

Maybe it's time to learn to protect yourself.

It's ironic that she recognized the state of Qi because of Li Jingnan, but she had to learn to protect herself because of the state of Qi.

The carriage stopped with a squeak. Hua Qingxue opened the curtain and was about to get off, but he suddenly saw the plaque hanging on the red door facing him, engraved with two big characters: Hou Fu.

This is

She was shocked, and Fu tingye came riding a horse: "I don't trust your safety. You live here tonight."

Hua Qingxue blinked and hesitated to get off the bus: "so... OK? Mrs. Fu, she doesn't seem to accept me very much? "

"I can't manage so much." Fu tingye gets off his horse, helps her out of the carriage, and they go in together.

Hou's residence is scattered with numerous courtyards. At first glance, it is an old house for many years. Flowers and trees have grown very lush and scattered.

But Hua Qingxue didn't want to appreciate it. He followed Fu tingye all the way to a courtyard, like a lonely courtyard.

"This is my yard." Fu tingye put down his vigilance all night and said with ease: "I thought of taking you to see it a few days ago, but I didn't have a chance. I didn't expect to bring you here under such circumstances."

Hua Qingxue's heart moved slightly, subconsciously buried in his arms, and there seemed to be a warm current gurgling in his body.

Fu tingye stretched out his hand and patted her on the back: "don't worry, the wind and waves are coming. This little demon wind is nothing."

Isn't this a big storm... Hua Qingxue is willing to believe him although she questions him.

Nod and bury yourself in each other's arms.

"You have to rest early and live in this yard tonight. There are my own soldiers and haishixuan around. Call him if you have anything." Fu tingye sends Hua Qingxue into the room and is about to leave.

Hua Qingxue looked at him, looking a little stunned.

"I went to see my mother. Her situation was a little repeated." In order to be afraid of her thinking, Fu tingye didn't forget to explain when he left.

It turned out that I was visiting Mrs. Fu.

Hua Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she felt tired. She didn't care to wash. She climbed into bed and went to sleep wrapped in a quilt.

……

Fu tingye comes to Mrs. Fu's room. He only hears that the old lady is still talking nonsense.

The servant girl in the room knelt on the ground, and the imperial doctor on one side was helpless.

He was slightly stunned and asked, "what's the situation with my mother?"
