Queen is the top

The queen ordered her female officers and inner eunuchs to find a place to hide, and she took Su Jin and Shi Qiao Huang to open the mechanism of the Book Pavilion and enter the secret room to hide.

The secret room was dark and long, only the weak candlelight in Shi Qiao Huang's hand supported a glimmer of light, against the deep darkness, it seemed that something was about to rush.

The queen was most afraid of the dark, her back felt chills, her heart was trembling, and she took a few steps forward with Su Jin's careful support.

"Your Highness, you wait here for a while, and I'll go and light the oil lamp."

Teacher Qiao Huang's words made the queen suddenly realize that there were still a few oil lamps in the secret room, and she felt a little relieved, "Qiao Huang, be careful, you can see it."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Qiao Huang can see some of it." After Shi Qiao Huang said, he lit the oil lamp on the lamp stand nailed to the indoor wall with the flint he was carrying.

After she finished lighting the last wall lamp, the room immediately brightened up. Everyone walked through the corridor, and went to the depths of the secret room to look at the surrounding furnishings. There was a bed, some papers and pens, and a rusty iron box inside.

After the queen discovered this place earlier, she asked Su Jin to check it out. It seemed that someone had taken refuge here. There were still a lot of moldy grains, but Su Jin cleaned them out, leaving only these things that she didn't want people to find out. There are no heavy objects to move.

Shi Qiaohuang stepped forward and patted the dusty bed, moved out a clean place, and spread his embroidered handkerchief on the bed. Su Jin supported the queen and sat down on her embroidered handkerchief.

Worried about Cheng Yingzong's safety, the queen clutched the bright yellow brocade handkerchief embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes in her hand, and looked at the corridor from time to time, eagerly looking forward to He Mingfeng's figure. Only by seeing him could she know Cheng Yingzong's safety at this time.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry, the second prince is very good at martial arts, and he will definitely be able to inform His Majesty." Su Jin comforted the Queen gently and patiently.

Shi Qiaohuang also wanted to comfort her when she saw it, but she suddenly raised her head and stared at the wall of the secret room solemnly.

Seeing that her expression was different, the queen hurriedly said, "Qiao Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Qiaohuang's ears moved slightly, and he listened attentively while whispering, "A large number of people are coming to Changle Palace."

The queen stood up in shock, and Su Jin hurriedly supported her to prevent her from being unstable and tripping.

Shi Qiaohuang leaned against the wall and listened carefully. There were many hurried but chaotic footsteps from outside the wall, followed by some smashing sounds. These sounds were getting closer and closer. Clearly, Shi Qiao Huang's face became more and more dignified.

Until these voices sounded so loud that even the Queen and Su Jin could hear them clearly, the Queen was shocked when she heard Concubine Hui's screaming and the sound of collision and miscellaneous work on the other side of the wall. Stop your lips.

Su Jin frowned and shook her head at her, the queen nodded hurriedly, seeing that she understood, Su Jin let go of her lips, and held her hands tightly with both hands to support her from the panic.

The queen looked at Su Jin with a reddish eye in both surprise and fear, and held her breath to cover her nose, for fear that any movement would put the three of them in danger.

Shi Qiaohuang listened intently to the movement outside the wall, only to hear Concubine Hui's sharp voice over there, and sternly said, "Yuan Yuhua! Get out of here! Where are the people in Changle Palace? I can't find any!"

After a long while, I heard Du Juan sigh again, "My lady, there is no one in Changle Palace, I'm afraid I got the news and ran away."

After her voice fell, she didn't hear Concubine Hui's voice for a while, and then she heard her say, "I was still here last night, even if I got the news this morning, how far can I go, leave some people to continue searching for me! The rest Follow me to Shoukang Palace!"

Another neat and loud response was heard, some of the footsteps gradually moved away from the Changle Palace, and a small part of them were still wandering in the Changle Palace.

The queen and Su Jin were relieved to see the voice getting farther and farther away, secretly glad that they were not found.

Shi Qiao Huang made a silence gesture to the two, still listening to the movement outside the wall, the queen and Su Jin agreed without saying a word.

After a while, Shi Qiao Huang lowered her fine eyelashes, breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened up from the wall, walked to the queen and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, everyone is gone."

The queen and Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the queen was too nervous just now, she felt extremely tired when she breathed out, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground, thanks to the support of Shi Qiao Huang and Su Jin, everything was fine. The two waited for the queen to sit down and rest.

The queen sighed, shook her head and said, "Sin, how can there be such a woman in this world."

She was terrified just now, and now she couldn't help wiping the wet corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief. She had never been so frightened when Cheng Yingzong pacified the Three Kings' Rebellion, because no matter what, Cheng Yingzong was by her side at that time .

Today, there are only Su Jin and Shi Qiao Huang by her side, and she is physically and mentally exhausted after experiencing such a turmoil.

Maybe it's because she's getting older, or maybe she's tired all the time. Recently, she always feels emotional ups and downs. She, who has always been strong, couldn't help crying at this moment.

Su Jinyi hurriedly comforted the empress carefully, Shi Qiaohuang had been serving the empress for some days, and at this time he also noticed the empress' abnormality, because there was nothing wrong with her recent state and the previous state, and the empress thought it was troublesome, so there was something wrong with her. It's been a while since the imperial physician came to check her pulse, and besides she was a little tired and eating well, Su Jin and Shi Qiaohuang only thought that she was tired because she was worried about He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing's distress, and didn't care about it. .

Now Shi Qiaohuang also felt puzzled, the empress had never been such a fragile person, although today's event was dangerous, but with her temperament, it was impossible to panic to this point.

Shi Qiao Huang pondered left and right, knelt down and said to the queen, "Your Highness, this servant is rude."

The queen was wiping away her tears, she stared at her puzzledly, and saw her pinching one of her wrists with her fingers, checking her pulse.

Seeing this, Su Jin also noticed the abnormality, and stared at Shi Qiao Huang worriedly. After a while, Shi Qiao Huang's pupils widened, and he gently lowered the queen's wrist, with disbelief and joy in his eyes.

Seeing that she was just staring at the queen, Su Jin hurriedly said, "How is the queen?"

Shi Qiaohuang moved his lips and said with a pleasant smile, "Your Highness is delighted."
