Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The afternoon sun reflected the snow, and the fine white snow seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of gold, sparkling. Dazzling light shone into the inner hall, and the dim Buddhist hall became brighter.

Old sandalwood was burning in the Buddhist hall.

Cao Ruomi was dressed plainly, kneeling upright on the futon mat.

After the stick of incense burned out, the Queen Mother was still chanting sutras with her hand in hand, not looking at her at all. The sound of wooden fish that should have made people soothing, but made people uneasy.

Cao Ruomi was not sure about the Queen Mother's attitude. He glanced at Cui Hao who was standing in the corner, and their eyes met——

"The Queen has been too restless lately."

The sudden voice made Cao Ruomi tremble in shock, he hurriedly looked away, his eyes were red, he lowered his eyes and held up his sleeves, choking.

"What the Queen Mother teaches is that I am indeed responsible for this matter. As a queen, I failed to manage the Sixth Palace due to my duties. Instead, I was deceived and used, and almost hurt the dragon heir."

After saying that, Cao Ruomi raised his hands to his eyebrows and kowtowed to the Queen Mother to apologize.

The Queen Mother put down Jianzhi and took a casual look. Cui Haoji stepped forward with eyes, carefully lifted her up and walked towards the outer hall.

Cao Ruomi stood up and looked over, wiping away his tears, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The emperor was imprisoned in the Taiji Palace by the Queen Mother. She heard that they had a big quarrel and almost broke up. She guessed that the Queen Mother might help Yang'er to ascend the throne, but the current attitude of being indifferent made her a little confused. .

Is it possible that her heart belongs to Wang Gao of Guangping?

One is a parent-child and the other is a biological grandson. It’s really not certain how to choose.

Seeing that the queen was stunned and motionless, Wen Jin pushed her: "Your Majesty, you just need to calm down."

Cao Ruomi came back to his senses and looked at her, took a slow breath and nodded.

That's right. Ever since I found out that Liang Huan was pregnant, I have indeed become more restless and restless than before. I really shouldn't have.

Cao Ruomi and Wen Jin stepped out of the Buddhist hall. As soon as the Queen Mother took her seat, someone from the palace brought tea.

Cao Ruomi approached at the right time and served him personally.

Serving tea and water, rubbing shoulders and back...

The Queen Mother's face gradually softened, and her tone became softer: "Okay, sit down and go."

After hearing this, Cao Ruomi thanked him and sat down again.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and looked at Cao Ruomi: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Cao Ruomi said calmly: "That day, Zhang Xuanhui came to Zhaoyang Palace to greet me as usual, but he brought a pot of chrysanthemums with him, saying that he wanted to give them to my concubine."

She paused, shook her head and sighed: But you also know that when I was pregnant with Xin, I was harmed by datura pollen. Since then, I have stayed away from all flowers and plants.

However, Zhang Xuanhui's kindness could not be let down, so she just excused herself by saying that Xin'er was young and was afraid that she would accidentally break the flower branches, so she asked someone to send the flowers to Langhua Garden to be raised. "

The Queen Mother pondered.

What Cao Ruomi said is true. That year, when he went to the Duke of Wei's palace, Liang's young man put datura pollen into the tea he was cooking in order to frame Liang Han, causing the queen to be poisoned and fainted. It was only that time that she was found out. The queen is pregnant...

Cao Ruomi said again: "I never thought that Zhang Xuanhui's gift of flowers was a lie, but that he secretly harmed me was real. I never thought that Concubine Shu would choose the pot of flowers in Langhua Garden, and I didn't expect that there were still flowers in the pot. Hiding such vicious thoughts!”

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said, "What do you mean, Zhang Xuanhui wants to harm you?"

Cao Ruomi nodded: "Yes, this flower was originally given to me, and naturally it was meant to harm me, but it just went to Hanguang Hall by mistake, and it hurt Concubine Shu."

The Queen Mother looked at her with her eyes: "Do you really know nothing?"

Cao Ruomi immediately stood up and left his seat, kneeling next to him: "If I knew that there was a witchcraft hidden in the flower pot, how could I not have someone tie Zhang Xuanhui up immediately? Instead, I would order my maid in charge to hold the chrysanthemums and send them away in a big way. Langhuayuan......

I am dissatisfied with the concubine Shu, but I have never thought of harming the emperor's heir. Queen Mother, you should know this. After being a concubine for many years, I never stopped my lord from doting on anyone. Even when I was ignored by my lord, I never complained at all. "

She behaved dignifiedly, and even when she was kneeling, she did not forget to maintain the manners a queen should have.

The Queen Mother sipped her tea and seemed to be thinking about the truth or falsehood of this statement.

The Queen Mother did not speak for a long time, and Cao Ruomi did not dare to move.

After a long time, a cool voice said: "The Ai family does not object to your self-protection, but if there is a next time, you will stop here..."

Cao Ruomi was startled, his heartbeat quickened, and he didn't dare to show anything on his face, so he bowed to the ground respectfully.

"I will remember the Queen Mother's teachings."

Although it is impossible to see through the Queen Mother's thoughts, from the actions of protecting her, we can also guess that she has no intention of establishing a new monarch for the time being.

Cao Ruomi chatted with the Queen Mother again and did not leave until she finished copying a volume of Buddhist scriptures.

After leaving the Renshou Hall, the sky was already filled with stars.

The palace is really cold on a cold night.

Wen Jin held up the dim palace lantern and led the way: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is still facing you."

Cao Ruomi smiled bitterly: "She is not facing me."

Wen Jin was confused: "How could it happen? The Queen Mother didn't even ask you the whole story, so she brought people to rescue you. Fortunately, the Queen Mother arrived in time, otherwise..."

Wen Jin bit her lip and stopped talking. Thinking about it now makes her scared.

"Tear off your clothes and tie him up in front of Zhaoyang Palace?"

Cao Ruomi raised his lips and smiled, his tone even more chilling than the cold wind.

I really didn't expect that they were considered a couple after all, and she gave birth to Yang'er for him. Even if he didn't have feelings for her, there was no need to be so cruel.

The more Cao Ruomi thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

That’s all.

Anyway, they have always been on different paths, so she just shouldn't dwell on old feelings in the future.

Wen Jin saw the queen's unhappy expression and asked, "Are you worried about Zhang Xuanhui?"

She looked around again, but saw no one, and then said: "I went here specially to take a look, but I can't see anything. Please relax, my lady."

Cao Ruomi nodded lightly, with a faint smile on his lips: "Ajin, who do you think is the most noble in the palace?"

"The male is naturally the master." Wen Jin blurted out almost without thinking, and then frowned, "The female -"

Cao Ruomi looked at her with interest: "Where is the woman?"

Wen Jin felt bad. The queen is the mother of a country, but——

She looked at the queen and consoled her: "If you wait a little longer, your empress will eventually come to the end of her hardships."

Cao Ruomi smiled and nodded.

"Look, you also know that the most noble woman in the palace is not the queen, but the queen mother..."

Hanguang Hall.

Liang Huan glanced at the dark soup and frowned tightly.

Cruelly, he pinched his nose, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one breath. He put down the medicine bowl here and Xianglan offered the mouthwash over there.

Liang Huan rinsed his mouth, grabbed another candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

This 'recipe' is really biased.

The ingredients are weird and the taste is even weirder.

She couldn't even think about what was in there, otherwise she would have to vomit it out.

Qian Shizhong lowered his hands and stood beside the case.

"The younger one has been checked. Not a single doctor in the palace of the most important ministers is female."

Gao Qian frowned slightly, put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and looked over: "Maybe you remembered it wrong."

"Remember wrong?" Liang Huan shook his head, "Impossible."

While he was talking, a chamberlain came in, saluted and said:

"Everyone in the Zhang family will be imprisoned."
