Fast time travel, but the villain is not a human being

As soon as the morning came, the maidservant next to the Empress Dowager came to send a message, saying that she was inviting him to the Buddhist hall.

"I'll go in a while." He Nian nodded, and when the maid left, he called the people around him to bring over some pastries.

There is no way, every time he goes to the Buddhist hall, the queen mother asks him to help copy the Buddhist scriptures. The length of time is unpredictable, so he should eat something in advance to cushion his stomach.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the Buddhist hall this time, the Queen Mother was not there to pay respects to the Buddha, but to meet him in the Nuan Pavilion outside the Buddhist hall.

"Nian'er, there are few court affairs these days." The queen mother asked him to sit down beside her.

He Nian: "Overall peaceful."

The queen mother handed over a cup of hot tea with her own hands: "Taiping returns to Taiping, but outside the palace is no better than inside the palace."

He Nian's eyebrows twitched, knowing why the Queen Mother was looking for him.

"Mother, don't worry, my son brings shadow guards with him every time he goes out."

"Well, Nian'er has always been safe, so Ai's family is naturally at ease." The queen mother then handed him a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "What is the name of the next wife that Suifeng married and divorced?"

Well, it seems that Zhou Xiaozhou's existence has also been known to the Queen Mother.

He Nian confessed honestly: "Her name is Zhou Xiaozhou, and she is a very interesting girl. The queen mother and son wanted to cultivate a relationship with Yun Yiyi before taking Yun Yiyi into the palace, but it was a bit difficult to start. It happened that Zhou Xiaozhou and Yun Yiyi had a very good relationship. good."

The queen mother glanced at him: "Is the grilled fish delicious?"

He Nian: ""Which bastard is so talkative

"Cough" He Nian could only laugh along with him, "It tastes good, it reminds me of the emperor's grandfather."

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment as she flicked the rosary, and frowned: "Your grandpa"

"Empress, I have nothing to do today, so I'll copy a scripture for you." He Nian ended the topic in a timely manner.

When it came to the scriptures, the Empress Dowager let go of this topic, but before leaving, she still explained one more sentence: "The Ai family always feels uneasy, Zhou Xiaozhou may be a dangerous person with unknown background, you must guard against Nian'er."

It's true that the origin is unknown, and people were sent to investigate early on. The results of the investigation showed that Zhou Xiaozhou had no relatives and no reason, and Yun Zheng brought him back from the street, and nothing else could be found.

Whether it is dangerous or not has yet to be proven.

As a result, I never expected that such a big incident would happen after a test.

"cough cough"

After He Nian took the medicine, his face wrinkled in bitterness, and he quickly reached out for candy, but the Queen Mother gave him a candied fruit.

"" He Nian mouthed a bitter taste, a candied fruit couldn't be suppressed at all, "Empress, at least give me a pine nut candy."

The queen mother refused: "Be patient, let you continue to mess around. And those shadow guards will be punished"

He Nian was embarrassed to make a sound.

To be honest, the shadow guard's dereliction of duty is true, but no one would have imagined that Zhou Xiaozhou would dare to push him into the river. If she hadn't jumped down to save him in the end, she would have been charged with regicide for her actions. .

Queen Mother: "And that Zhou Xiaozhou"

He Nian hurriedly said: "Mother, Zhou Xiaozhou was able to sacrifice herself and jump down to save my son, which shows that she has no malice towards him."

"If it wasn't because she saved you, you thought Aijia would save her with that top-quality ginseng last night." The queen mother patted the back of his hand, and changed her voice, "But Nian'er, one yard is one yard, and Zhou Xiaozhou is right." You don't mean anything malicious, but she is Suifeng's woman no matter what, and she still lives in the Hou's Mansion, so don't cause any quarrel with Suifeng because of a woman."

Since ancient times, there are indeed many examples of monarchs and ministers having rifts over a woman, but He Nian thinks that the queen mother is really worrying too much.

But this is something I can't explain for a while.

Just as he was talking, the imperial doctor sent to the Hou Mansion for consultation last night came back to report the news.

"Let him in." He Nian skipped over this topic.
