Mother Liu's tone was not good. She frowned and was very unhappy. "All the arrangements were in vain. That old woman is useless! It has been more than two months since she came back from Qingzhou. She was fine, but she was directly stimulated to the point of being half dead. When I went to see her, I was worried that she would die at any time. Even so, what can she accomplish? I think we can't count on her."
The man sitting at the top was a middle-aged man. Although he was old, his face was fair, his chin was smooth, and he had no beard. His voice was a little sharp: "That woman was able to hold on even after her husband died. This time, she just lost her son-in-law, and she can't hold on?"
"Oh my, Grandpa!" Mother Liu sighed. "It's a different time now. How many years have passed? Besides, she has been living a good life for too long and can't stand the stimulation. This is also normal. Anyway, it's impossible to provoke her to do something. Let's just leave it at that. It's better to think of other ways."
Mrs. He was in such a state, and she still wanted to assassinate Emperor Yuanfeng
It seems like she has difficulty walking.
After Mama Liu finished speaking, she saw that the middle-aged man above her had a bad face, so she coughed to soften her tone, and shook her head, discussing: "Eunuch, if this thing doesn't work, isn't it the same to think of other ways? If it really doesn't work, then wait for Madam He to die, and then spread the reason for Madam He's death. Besides, if Madam He doesn't work, this trick can also be used on the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince knows how his grandmother died, wouldn't he be uncomfortable? He is the grandson, and the former Crown Prince and his wife got into trouble because of the emperor's suspicion. Can he really have no scruples?"
The middle-aged man whom she called father-in-law looked at her coldly: "You know shit!"
Xiao Heng is such a cunning person, how could this idea be useful to him
It was such a good move, but it went wrong. It's really infuriating.
He was in a very bad mood and immediately lost the appetite for tea. He pushed away the cup of tea that Mother Liu brought to him.
Madam Liu had no choice but to persuade him again. After a few words of persuasion, there was a knock on the study door. Madam Liu looked at his face and went to open the door. When she opened the door, the housekeeper in the mansion said in panic: "Madam, something happened. That...that woman disappeared on the street."
There was no need to add anything more to the word "woman". Mother Liu immediately stood up and slapped the steward so hard that he staggered. She asked sternly, "What do you do for a living? How many times have we told you that woman is not allowed to leave the house?!"
But they actually let him escape! He disappeared!
Mother Liu no longer looked submissive as she did before at the He family. Now her features were cold and hard, and she no longer looked submissive at all.
Even the gloomy middle-aged man above her was furious: "Waste! A bunch of waste!"
The steward was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, explaining tremblingly: "She, she spent a lot of money to bribe a maid, saying that she was going to the garden for a stroll, but who knew that she slipped out through the side door..."
It's really hard to guard against.
There was no point in being angry. The middle-aged man soon calmed down and said, "Take my post to Shuntian Prefecture and tell them that there is a runaway slave in our family. She stole important property from our family. Ask the people in Shuntian Prefecture to help find her quickly."
The steward agreed, but fearing he would be beaten again, he turned around and ran away.
Mother Liu's face was not looking good. She turned around and looked at him: "Eunuch, what should we do? That woman was a maidservant of Queen Hu in the past, and she knew everything about us in Qingzhou. Now she is missing. If she falls into the hands of others..."
The middle-aged man called the father-in-law had a very bad expression on his face. He glared at her with a gloomy face and said, "Can't you say less? Now the person is gone. Find him first!"
He was in a bad mood, so Mother Liu didn't dare to keep pestering him and could only respond humbly with a "yes".
At this time, Aunt Liu, who had escaped from the house of Eunuch Liu in the weaving house, was running around in circles in the alley desperately. She was panting and had to look back vigilantly from time to time to see if anyone was chasing her. She didn't stand until she couldn't run anymore, holding on to the wall, panting and patting her chest to breathe heavily.
Finally escaped!
She finally recovered and stood up with her hands on her knees, and saw a young man with a stern look standing in front of her.
She was startled and subconsciously took a step back, but as she did so, she found that there were two people blocking her way behind her.
With pursuers from both sides and no way to escape, Aunt Liu was so frightened that she knelt down in front of them and begged for mercy with tears in her eyes.
Chen Dong looked at her leisurely, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aunt Liu?"
Aunt Liu was so frightened that she kowtowed continuously: "Sir, please let me go! I... I have said everything I need to say, I really have no other choice, I don't know what else..."
Chen Dong expressionlessly asked her to stand up: "I am not Eunuch Liu's man, but you, if you want to live, you'd better tell me what happened in Qingzhou, or you can still have a way to survive."
Aunt Liu had already been frightened out of her wits. When she was at Liu Chunwang's house before, Liu Chunwang and his men had actually already wanted to kill her. It was precisely because of this that she had desperately tried to escape, hoping to escape from the Liu family. Now, after hearing what Chen Dong said, she became even more worried and looked at Chen Dong in fear.
Chen Dong ignored her and raised his hand. His confidants controlled Mother Liu on the left and right and soon disappeared into the alley.
When Aunt Liu came to her senses again, she had already returned to the palace.
This discovery made her stunned involuntarily, and she was unable to react for a moment. After a long time, she put her hands up to cover her eyes, and then let go of her hands, looking carefully at the red walls and green tiles, looking at this majestic palace city, and then, she shed tears.
Chen Dong took her to the side hall of the Taiji Hall, and after getting permission, he led her straight in.
There was no need for Chen Dong to remind her again. As soon as she saw Emperor Yuanfeng, Aunt Liu fell to her knees, trembling and shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
Emperor Yuanfeng stared at her intently, thinking she looked familiar. Then, he frowned and suddenly realized: "Su Qing?"
The senior palace maid who served beside Queen Hu back then has always been very much liked by Queen Hu.
Su Qing didn't expect that Emperor Yuanfeng still remembered her. When her name was called, she trembled her lips a few times and answered "yes" with a trembling voice.
Emperor Yuanfeng glanced at her and said, "It's really you. Before the Queen left, she released a group of palace maids from the palace. You were among them, right?"
