Chapter 501 (1/2)
In the empty hall, sandalwood curls up, and the light fragrance is dense in the air, with a taste of concentration and tranquility.
But not only did the queen mother not have the peace of the past, her face was ugly and tight, and her heart was full of ups and downs. She had been thinking about Su Yi. The Buddha beads in his hands were shaking, and each one hit and made a clear sound, which made the hall more silent.
Several young women in colorful palace clothes knelt down, held their breath, lowered their heads one by one, and dared not go out.
”If you don't call today, you'll all kneel and mourn for your family to see how long you can kneel.”
Empress Dowager Wang's voice showed a strong force. She didn't say anything about fighting and killing, but made all the women shudder. The most gentle and generous empress dowager in the past was angry for the first time, and she still came at them. Several noble women who had just entered the palace and won a few small titles could not help but have bad luck in secret.
I've said it twice, but the Empress Dowager just doesn't believe it. What can I do? Wen Wan, who was granted the title of mining girl, couldn't help but look at Li Shuyun who entered the palace on the same day and glared at her. If this was Li Shuyun's reason from time to time, they would not kneel here. Everyone involved in one person was suspected and it was her fault.
Not only is it gentle, but even Zhuang Yulan and the other two are also dissatisfied with Li Shuyun's heart. If it hadn't been in front of the empress dowager, I'm afraid we would have fought long ago. I thought I could be loved by your majesty when I entered the palace. I was honored and spoiled, and the whole family went to heaven. I didn't know that I would encounter such bad luck and would not be saved.
As time passed, the five kneeling feet were numb, but the queen mother didn't speak, and no one dared to get up.
She couldn't help it. She finally said, ”Li Cainv, if you really moved your hands and feet in the plum cake, you'd better move it. Don't bother us.”
With this voice, the rest of Zhuang Yulan, Wu Feiyan and sun Qiaoer also made trouble together: ”yes, Li cainu, your majesty is the best for you. He made you a cainu, but you are not satisfied. It's treacherous to want to murder your mother through that girl. You can't drag us into the water!”
Close friends of the boudoir who used to play together and have outings in the suburbs have their own interests once they enter the palace. At present, even if everyone knows that Li Shuyun doesn't have the courage, they fall into the well one after another in order not to be implicated.
Who let them all be sealed as Cainv, only Baolin sealed by Li Shuyun? On this point, she should be unlucky!
”I really don't have any concubines. Empress dowager, you should trust your concubines.”
Li Shuyun was so frightened that he knocked his head and said anxiously: ”just now I just saw the girl passing by and remembered that she was the princess of Chu. I was curious and said a few words to her. I really didn't touch her cakes, let alone murder her mother!”
Empress Dowager Wang didn't believe it at all: ”you usually have no contact with Princess Chu. Why do you talk to her so politely when you see her servant girl? What did you say and do with her, otherwise how could the queen faint after eating the cake?”
”There must be something wrong with the cake. It's Princess Chu who wants to murder her. It's none of my business!”
”You mean Princess Chu wants to kill the queen? Why does she want to kill the queen, you say!”
The Empress Dowager Wang was aggressive and determined not to give up until she found out the answer. She was different in peace. All the girls were crying bitterly, but there was no way. While admitting that they were unlucky and knew they would not enter the palace, they scolded Li Shuyun and Luo qingluan in their hearts. On the surface, they were in fear and kept begging for mercy.
Just then, a long, sharp voice came from outside: ”Your Majesty has arrived -”
The girls jumped in their hearts and looked up at the door one after another, but then they reacted. They quickly knelt down and bowed their heads, waiting for Nangong Qing's arrival.
Empress Dowager Wang couldn't care so much. As soon as she saw Nangong Qing coming, she was about to ask Su Yi how she was. Unexpectedly, she saw Luo qingluan coming after her. Her face sank and she was unhappy with Luo qingluan for the first time.
In the past, she loved Luo qingluan very much, but after all, Luo qingluan has become the woman of the king of Chu, not her daughter-in-law. In addition, Su Yi has always been close to her and is pregnant, so the Queen Mother's heart slowly shifted.
Luo qingluan was also involved in the Queen's coma. If he had not thought that the king of Chu was on a war and could not move Luo qingluan at will, and had known Luo qingluan's personality, the queen mother would not have agreed that Nangong Qing left the girl named Dai Yue and would have directly sent it to Shangshi Bureau for thorough investigation.
Suddenly, she saw Luo qingluan appear in front of her. The Queen Mother's face sank. She didn't speak. She just stared at Nangong Qing and said, ”what about the queen now?”
Nangong Qing's face eased a lot and put on a smile: ”don't worry, empress mother. The queen has woken up. Thanks to Princess Chu's timely arrival, she saved the queen.”
It's Luo qingluan again
Empress Dowager Wang was happy. She just wanted to thank Luo qingluan, but then she remembered her girl. After all, the situation was unknown. Everyone was suspected before the truth was found out.
The smile on her face also converged. The queen mother looked at Luo qingluan and said faintly, ”thank you princess Chu. Since the queen woke up, that's good, that's good...”
”There's a reason why I can't be the Empress Dowager's thanks. Although Daiyue and I haven't done anything to the empress, there will be no problem with the plate of plum cake, but after all, the truth hasn't come out. Even I'm now guilty.”
Luo qingluan leaned over and said, ”empress dowager, I asked your majesty to bring it to see you. I just wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to give me a chance to find out what happened to the Empress Dowager to prove her innocence.”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face looked better, nodded, and she said in a soft voice, ”qingluan, it's not that AI family doesn't believe you, but the queen is pregnant and is still a child of her majesty. AI family can't ignore it. If you can find out the truth, AI family will not only thank you personally, but also reward you...”
