The queen looked at Duan Zhilan with satisfaction, and was very satisfied with what Duan Zhilan said, so she also kindly said to Duan Zhilan: "Zhilan is indeed my aunt's little padded jacket. Heartfelt words."
Duan Zhilan heard the Queen's words, she couldn't help feeling a little proud, but she couldn't show it on her face, she lowered her head shyly and said: "Auntie likes Zhilan, it is a blessing for Zhilan, from now on Zhilan will treat her aunt as the head of a horse, and everything about Zhilan Listen to your aunt."
After listening to the Queen, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Zhilan is a little tired today. I'll go with Lulian to have a good rest. I'll have a good performance tomorrow, but don't let my aunt down again."
Duan Zhilan obediently bowed to the queen, and then withdrew with the green lotus.
After Duan Zhilan withdrew, the smile on the queen's face turned into a gloomy look, and even Madam Jiang, who had always followed the queen, couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
"Mother Jiang, have you ordered everything you need to do tomorrow?" The Queen tapped the table rhythmically with her knuckles in a cold voice.
"If you want to go back to the mother, it has already been arranged, and we just have to wait for tomorrow." Jiang Ma said respectfully.
Only then did the queen reveal a wicked smile: "Yes, well done, Ji Yueqin's reputation will be ruined tomorrow!"
Mammy Jiang looked at the Queen's appearance, and sighed inwardly, and then asked the Queen, "Niangniang, what do you think of Miss Zhilan?"
Seeing Mama Jiang mention Duan Zhilan, the empress said with disdain: "If she is not Ben Gong's niece, how could Ben Gong look down on her? Seeing how cowardly she looks today, she knows that she can't make a big deal. However, she is a clever one. Master, one point is all right, and fortunately, it is more obedient, and you can adjust it carefully."
"Niangniang said that the slave girl sees that Miss Zhilan is quite smart, and she must understand the good intentions of Niangniang." Jiang mama also echoed.
"I hope so, how do you say that Zhilan is the daughter of the eldest brother, and this palace should take good care of it." The Queen's tone was a little inaudible, and her eyes were looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
"By the way, Niangniang, if you bring Lord Nangong, what will you do?" Mammy Jiang asked the queen as if thinking of something.
"Nangong Meng... dare to deceive Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will smash his corpse into ten thousand pieces!" The queen mentioned Nangong Meng and gritted her teeth.
"But Niangniang, today Lord Nangong said that the Lord of Anning County was brought to the Fengxi Palace by you. I'm afraid..." Jiang Ma was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, she still said to the Queen.
"Don't worry, this palace will entertain him well, and I won't let Nangong Meng die easily." The queen's voice made people tremble, but Jiang mama knew how vicious her master's methods were.
About half an hour later, Lu He ran back to the Fengxi Palace in a panic. Madam Jiang was stunned when she saw Lu He's hair and face being scratched in a mess.
"What's the matter with you, Lu He? Didn't the niece ask you to bring back Lord Nangong, where is the person?" Mammy Jiang looked at Lu He in confusion and asked.
Lv He was out of breath and trembling in horror: "Ghost... there is a ghost!"
"What the hell, I'm asking Lord Nangong?" Mammy Jiang looked at Lu He's panicked appearance and was a little overwhelmed.
"Ah... Lord Nangong? Ah—" Madam Jiang, who was screaming from Lu He, quickly covered her ears.
"What are you doing, crazy girl!" Madam Jiang was also frightened by Lu He, and she stepped back again and again.
"Mother Jiang? I told you that it's haunted!" Seeing that the person in front of him was Mama Jiang, Lu He also said to her in horror and a hint of weirdness.
"What's wrong with you, Lu He! Sober up, this is the Phoenix Palace!" The more she looked at Lu He, the more wrong she became, and she hurriedly shook Lu He's shoulders.
"Fengxi Palace? Oh! I want to serve the Empress!" Lu He pushed Madam Jiang and ran towards the Queen's bedroom.
The queen was startled by Lu He who suddenly rushed in, and saw her angrily scolding at Lu He: "What are you doing, so unruly, what kind of decency?"
Lu He looked at the queen with a look of horror on his face, but pointed at the queen a little crazy and said, "Empress Empress!" Immediately, as if thinking of something terrible, he squatted down and shrank into a ball and said, "Ms. , there is a ghost in Qin Tianjian!"
The queen frowned and looked at Lu He on the ground, not knowing which evil wind Lu He was hit by, she was talking nonsense here. Madam Jiang also ran into the temple from the outside, and knelt down with a plop, "Niangniang, Lvhe didn't bring back Lord Nangong, but after returning, it became like this, Niangniang, look..."
The queen didn't respond, she just shouted: "Come here, bring a bucket of clean water to this palace."
When the palace people got the order, they immediately ran to draw a bucket of water and carried it into the palace.
When the queen saw that the palace servants brought water in, she instructed with a blank face, "Pour this bucket of water down on Lu He."
"Niangniang, if you pour it on Lu He, I'm afraid it will contaminate the niangniang's bedroom." Jiang mama said from the side, in fact, as a servant, Jiang mama still couldn't bear to see Lu He in such coldness The sky was poured with such a bucket of cold water.
"Then drag Lu He to the door and splash her to wake her up." The Queen said with a cold face.
Mammy Jiang wanted to say something, but she also understood that no matter how much she said, the empress would never change her mind, and she didn't like being disrespected, so she stopped speaking.
Lu He was dragged outside the hall by the palace servants like this. When the bucket of cold water was poured on Lu He, Lu He woke up, and his scattered eyes became much clearer.
A gust of night wind blew, and it even aroused goose bumps on Lu He's body. She asked a little puzzled: "Where is this, Lord Nangong?"
"Sister Lu He, this is the Fengxi Palace. You just came back madly and scared us to death. The Empress asked us to wake you up. I'm really sorry, and we didn't do it on purpose." Said to Lu He with a slight apology.
As soon as Lu He heard that the queen had instructed her, she immediately got up and ran into the hall.
"Niangniang, this slave was not intentional. Before, I had ordered my slave to go to Qintian Prison to bring back Lord Nangong, but who would have known that the slave would faint when she entered the Qintian prison. After waking up, the slave found herself beside the ancient well in the cold palace, inside it. There were also a lot of crows flying out, and the servants were so frightened that they turned their heads and ran away, and then... and then..." Lu He didn't say anything more, but his face suddenly became very pale.
The queen didn't like other people's appetite, and looked at Lu He with some dissatisfaction: "If you have anything, just say it, don't sell it."
Seeing the Queen's anger, Lu He didn't dare not to say anything, only to hear her trembling voice say: "Then the servant saw Concubine Shu talking to the servant, saying that it was the Queen who killed her, and she wanted to ask for her life. . . . "
The queen's expression was a little unsightly, but she didn't blame Lu He for being disrespectful to her, she just snorted coldly: "Lu He, you are good to clean up, but I want to see what this Nangong Meng is doing. By the way, go to Shuyang Palace again."
When Lu He heard Shuyang Palace, her face turned even paler. Although she resisted in her heart, she didn't dare to make a sound, so she had to answer and retreat.
Madam Jiang's face was also not very good-looking, and her voice carried a trace of fear: "Mother, why do you want to go to Shuyang Palace?"
The queen sneered: "Since Concubine Shu wants to ask Ben Gong for her life, Ben Gong wants to see what kind of tricks this is playing."
