Chapter 21 Something is going on

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou actually did not enter the palace often. Because of this, she suddenly handed in a message this time. She did not explain the reason. She only said that she came to pay her respects. This shocked the queen. Her intuition was

When something serious happened, he quickly asked the people in the kitchen to prepare the tea and snacks that Mrs. Zhenbei Hou loved to eat, and then took a look at them in person. Then he finally felt relieved and waited for Mrs. Zhenbei Hou to enter the palace.

This is the appearance of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou. Any other person would not be worthy of the queen's solemn treatment.

Finally, at the time written on the post, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou arrived outside the palace on time. The queen sat upright on the phoenix throne and asked someone to bring her in.

"My wife has met the Queen." Mrs. Zhenbei Hou came in, knelt down and saluted, her posture was very respectful.

Both are women saluting, but the same movements, performed by Mrs. Zhenbeihou, add a heroic look that makes people's eyes shine.

"Mrs. Hou, please get up quickly. Come and sit down." The queen smiled and raised her hand, "Mrs. Hou doesn't come into the palace often, so she is a rare visitor. I heard that this hibiscus cake is Mrs. Hou's favorite.

The palace specially ordered the kitchen to prepare some. Madam Hou will try it and see if the palace's craftsmanship is to your liking?"

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou obediently picked up a piece of hibiscus pastry and put it into her mouth. Then she nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, Madam, for remembering this little thing about me. I like it very much."

She had serious things to do when she entered the palace. Even though the kitchen in the palace was very good, she didn't feel that the food was very delicious at this time.

"That's good." The queen nodded. She knew Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's temper, so she simply omitted those unnecessary remarks and went straight to the point, "Mrs. Hou is entering the palace today, but she has important matters.

?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou put the remaining half piece of hibiscus cake back into the plate, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must be aware of this. I must also know that my wife is incompetent and cannot give birth to a daughter, so she treats Shu'er as her own daughter."

Love and care.

But today, Ah Qin took Shu'er home, and my wife found out that Shu'er had been beaten at home and had injuries on her face. Alas... My wife really couldn't bear it. Your Majesty, tell me, Shu'er is such a delicate little girl.

Girl, how can you bear the beating? No, I can only shamelessly ask to be admitted to the palace, and beg the empress to reward me with some medicine used by the nobles in the palace, but I must not leave any scars on Shu'er's face!"

After Mrs. Zhenbeihou finished speaking, the queen's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Before the queen came out of the palace, she and Xue Lu were close friends. After so many years, the friendship between the two has become deeper and deeper. As the saying goes, she naturally takes more care of Xue Lu's daughter.

"Quickly, go to the Imperial Hospital and bring back a few copies of those medicines for treating wounds and removing scars." The Queen said, and directly handed over the matter to her closest confidant, "How serious is Shu'er's injury? How about that?"

Send the imperial physician directly there, I remember that Imperial Physician Chen is on duty today."

Dr. Chen was very good at recuperating the body. Many concubines and nobles were injured and feared leaving scars, so they all asked Dr. Chen to take care of them.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Madam. It's just a minor injury. It looks more serious. How can I work with Dr. Chen?" Mrs. Zhenbeihou stood up to thank her, and then casually complained, "They say it's a minor injury, but it's still an injury.

On the face, that father was really careless."

The queen almost impatiently echoed a few words, which was a rare expression of true feelings.

She always heard Mrs. Xue Lu say that she married someone who was not a human being, so she also had resentment towards Xue Yue. But as a queen, she had to pay special attention to everything she said and did. If she was not careful, someone would take advantage of her, and then

Someone took it into his hands and used it as a sharp knife to attack her.

Therefore, even if the queen was dissatisfied with Xue Yue, most of the time she could only hold it in her heart, and she had to act like a peacemaker on her face, and persuade Xue Lu to go back and live a good life. You can imagine how depressed she felt.

This time, through the words of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, I also complained a few words, and I took it as a vent.

The queen's confidant acted quickly and soon came back with a small wooden box. When the lid was opened, he saw a layer of bottles and jars neatly stacked inside, with labels written on them, which was clear at a glance.

Mrs. Zhenbeihou thanked her profusely. The queen knew that she was in a hurry to go back to give Xue Shu some medicine, so she left no one behind and called for her confidant Haosheng to escort Mrs. Zhenbeihou out.

"Empress..." Nanny Qi took a step forward, bowed slightly, and whispered in the Queen's ear, "Miss Xue was beaten, and now Mrs. Zhenbei Hou personally came to the palace to ask for medicine. Do we...

Tell your Majesty?"

The queen is also struggling with this matter.

Everything has two levels of severity, just like today's Prime Minister slapping his own daughter. At the most mild level, it means that the father is just teaching his children a lesson, but at the most severe level, it means that the ministers of a country do not cultivate their personal ethics and treat the female family members badly.

Fight.

Seeing what Mrs. Zhenbeihou meant, she wanted to deal with it more seriously.

The Queen sighed and stood up holding on to Nanny Qi's hand.

Aunt Qi understood, and ordered people to get out of the car and drive to the royal study.

That's all, just think of it as venting your anger for Ah Qin and Shu'er.

However, when the queen arrived at the study, she found that there was another guest in the study.

It was Prince Xiaoyao who had just returned to Beijing not long ago and showed off his lower IQ at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.

"Auntie Huang." Prince Xiaoyao bowed respectfully to the queen who entered the study, then turned to look at the emperor with a sincere tone, "Uncle Huang, everything my nephew said is true! Isn't Uncle Huang prepared for such a big thing?

Do you want to ask a question?"

The emperor pinched his eyebrows with a headache: "Yunzhou, you are traveling abroad, and you don't understand many things in the capital. The Changshenghou Mansion is like a moth in the court, and it has become more and more rampant recently. I can no longer sit idly by and do nothing. If you want to

To uproot the Changsheng Hou Mansion, we have to borrow the Left Prime Minister."

In the capital, it is important to have a good reputation when doing things. The Zuo Prime Minister was visited to break off the engagement, and the Changsheng Hou Mansion was disrespectful to the Zuo Prime Minister, which hurt the Zuo Prime Minister's heart. This is the "fame" that the emperor wants.

Now that the matter has not been settled, how could the emperor easily let Xue Yue get into trouble?

Prince Xiaoyao didn't know the details, but he also knew that the stakes were very important, so he had to bite his lip and stop talking.

Seeing that Prince Xiaoyao was safe, the emperor turned his attention to the queen: "What?"

The queen was silent and said: "Mrs. Zhenbei Hou came into the palace just now to ask for medicine."

"Asking for medicine?" The emperor's eyebrows twitched, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart. "What medicine are you asking for?"

"The Marquis of Zhenbei said that her niece was slapped, and now Mrs. Xue and her two children are living in the Marquis' Mansion." The Queen sighed, "The Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife have a deep relationship. Now

, I guess I know about this too.”

In other words, if the emperor does not show his attitude, then the Marquis of Zhenbei will do so.

By then it will be hard to say whether Xue Yue is missing an arm or a leg.

The emperor raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, cursing Xue Yue in his heart.

Now, even if he wanted to minimize the big deal, he couldn't.

The Marquis of Zhenbei held a large number of troops, and his family had guarded the northern frontier for generations. His hard work and merits were high, and his weight was not comparable to that of a mere leftist prime minister.

"Come here, tell Prime Minister Zuo to enter the palace!"
