Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

After Liu Zi retired, Du Qingheng was still basking in the sun lazily in the pavilion. She was the only person who could bask in the cold weather.

Squinting her eyes to look at the scenery not far away, she saw an unusually familiar figure: "Which person is who?"

A question made the maid next to her hurriedly look at it. It took a long time for the maid to return to her after a distance of a lake.

"Niangniang, it seems to be Xiao Tan next to Li Cairen."

"Xiaotan?" Du Qingheng took a sip of tea and became interested.

"What is she doing here? Sui Yuxuan's direction is not here, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, another court lady came out in the direction of Kunning Palace, cautiously, as if she was deliberately avoiding others.

The talented people go to meet the people in the Queen's Palace? Du Qingheng felt that something was wrong, and Meisou couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Li Cairen and the Queen have joined forces?

"You go see what they are doing, and then bring people over."

Du Qingheng felt a little guilty when he thought that he still had a handle in the hands of Li Cairen. If she really joined hands with the queen, she would cut her head and cut her - absolutely not let this happen.

I saw that Xiaotan in the distance seemed to be making a deal with the palace lady, and there was something else in her hand. The palace lady disagreed at first, but I didn’t know what Xiaotan said, and the palace lady hesitated to take her hand over. thing.

The two people not far away soon separated, Xiao Tan left first, and the two left separately. It seemed that they were afraid of being caught by others in the future.

Seeing this, Du Qingheng was even more skeptical.

Just when the palace lady was about to leave, she saw her own person appear, and when she caught the palace lady, she walked towards where she was.

The palace lady struggled to break free, but did not break free.

Not long after, the plain-looking court lady was brought to her with a panic on her face.

Du Qingheng motioned to his people to let go of her. As soon as she let go, the lady of the court was so scared that she knelt on the ground: "I have seen the imperial concubine!"

She was trembling, as if Du Qingheng would eat her.

"Who was the person you saw just now?" She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the person in front of her condescendingly.

"Hui Niangniang... is Xiao Tan next to Li Cairen."

This court lady is quite honest, perhaps knowing that even if she lies, she will be exposed.

"Are you familiar?"

The maid shook her head: "No, not familiar."

"Unfamiliar? You are working as a errand in Kunning Palace. She is the first-class maid of Sui Yuxuan, a lower-class maid, how did you know her? Besides, it is still so far away." Du Qingheng was extremely leisurely.

The more such an attitude, the more scared the palace lady was.

"Niangniang spares her life, Niangniang spares her life, the servant girl knows nothing, the servant girl knows nothing!"

Suddenly such a big movement caused Du Qingheng to raise his eyebrows and chuckle.

"What are you afraid of? My palace won't eat you again."

It was said that the imperial concubine's temper was uncertain, and the maid realized that Du Qingheng was a little too good to talk. She raised her head inconceivably, with fear on her face:

"I don't know what the mother is going to do to call the servants?"

"My palace just wants to know what Xiaotan said to you? And..." She paused.

"What did she give you?"

The maid looked away with a guilty conscience, "She... she didn't, she didn't give the servants anything."

"Really?" Du Qingheng didn't say much, just gave his person a look, and immediately someone stepped forward to search the whole body of the palace lady.

Seeing that she was about to search her body, the court lady struggled more and more, and immediately two other people stepped forward to suppress her:

"Niangniang! Niangniang really didn't give her servants anything! The servants don't know anything!"

Du Qingheng moved his eyes away, ignoring the sound at all, but in the blink of an eye, her people handed her what they found out: "Niang, it's a medicine bottle."

She then slowly moved her eyes to look over, and her eyes widened immediately after just one glance.

Because of the bottle—she recognizes it.

Du Qingheng held it in his hand and looked at it again, unsurely, until he was sure that it was exactly the same as what he had in his memory: "Is this Xiao Tan for you?"

The lady of the court had been let go, her clothes were messy, her hair had been loose, and the eyes of Du Qingheng became more and more frightened.

Hesitated, but had to nod his head.

"She gave you this thing, but did she tell you what to do?"

The moment she saw the medicine bottle, she was almost certain in her heart that Song Siyu would not betray her, and she had let go of her heart.

At this point, the palace lady's mouth was so hard that she still refused to disclose a word.

"Niangniang, do you want to..." Du Qingheng couldn't help asking for instructions.

Unexpectedly, Du Qingheng didn't nod his head this time, but just curled his lips with a smile, and personally returned the things to the court lady.

"It's okay if you don't say it, my palace will not force you."

The smiling face made people couldn't help but wonder, what deep meaning was hidden behind this smile.

The palace lady received the medicine bottle in fear, Du Qingheng made an unexpected move, and she personally helped the palace lady up.

The moment she met the palace lady, the palace lady's body trembled obviously, but it still felt unnatural to meet her particularly "gentle" gaze.

"Tell this palace, what is your name?"

"Hui Niangniang, the servant is called Si'an."

Du Qingheng nodded thoughtfully: "It looks like you are working as an errand in the Queen's Palace, right?"

"Yes."

"Very good." She patted Si'an on the shoulder appreciatively and smiled.

"No matter what Xiaotan says to you, as long as you can do it well, once the matter is done, my palace will not treat you badly."

The sudden action made Si'an feel flattered, and he would not react for a while.

"By the way, today's matter, I hope that what you are supposed to do has not happened, the least in this palace who likes talking, do you understand?"

There was a thick threat in her shining eyes, even if she didn't say anything, Si'an would never reveal it.

After watching Na Si'an leave her sight, Du Qingheng closed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was some unnoticeable resentment in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the murderer who killed her son was actually the one who threatened her, and Li Cairen became more and more bold.

But then I thought about it, as long as the queen can be overthrown, then her son will sacrifice a little.

Kunning Palace

Because of the Queen Mother's troubles, Du Xuechun, who didn't take a step out of the palace gate, now almost locked Kunning Palace.

At this moment, even Mingying was liberated. Du Xuechun just asked her to coax Yuan Ming and He Ya with her, leaving the rest to others to do.

Last time I had a goodbye, even Feng Xuan Che hadn't been to Kunning Palace for half a month, so there were a lot of rumors going up and down in Kunning Palace.

"Is the empress woman out of favor? How long has the emperor been to Kunning Palace?"

"Shhh, killing the prince is a capital crime. Even if it is not done by the queen, it will be difficult to pick it up once it gets involved. I think the emperor has given up her heart to the empress in 80%."

"No? The emperor and the empress have such a good relationship..."

"No matter how good the relationship is, would you like the person next to your pillow to be a murderer?"
