Chapter 159 Concubine Zhou’s visit…

"What do you want to say now?"

Xu Boqing also knew that if a little thief like this, who talks about people and ghosts, doesn't suffer a little and is not frightened, he will never tell the truth...

After glancing at the little thief, he said with a half-smile, "I don't have time to listen now. Just stay in the prison for a few days. I'll come see you in a few days when I'm free."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

"I……"

When the little thief saw him leaving, the guards who were escorting him also showed somewhat meaningful smiles on their faces, and they felt even more frightened.

I stared and wanted to say something, but found that the man's back had already left the prison...

Prison Secretary Hu winked at several of his jailers.

The jailers were all old men, and they understood the situation well and carried the little thief to jail, and specially selected a cell for him that was closer to the torture chamber...

The little thief looked a little pale as he listened to the screams and wails coming from next door from time to time...

"You're lucky, kid."

One of the jailors said with regret: "This torture room will torture those who have committed the most heinous crimes in the past few days. I estimate that we will have to queue for two days before you can get your turn."

"Hey, Lao Zhou, don't scare other people's children..."

Another jailer said 'reproach', and then said with a smile and comfort: "You should eat and drink here, make yourself fatter, and you can last longer..."

The two jailers turned pale when they saw the little thief. After looking at each other, they both smiled knowingly, then closed the cell door without saying anything and left...

"I……"

The little thief looked at a loss.

After hearing the screams coming from the torture chamber next door, I suddenly came back to my senses...

Looking at the jailer's retreating back, he murmured with his lips: "You...you can ask whatever you want to ask, and don't even ask me what to say..."

…………

It’s getting dark…

Xu Boqing returned to Cining Palace and learned from his nanny that the Queen Mother was taking a bath in the bathtub before returning to the palace, so he quietly went over there with a thought...

Because of the cold weather, the mist lingering in the bathroom was like a fairyland. Not only were translucent silk curtains hung around the bath, but there were also several screens...

Through the curtains and mist, you can vaguely see the beauty in the bathtub soaking in the spring, with her pink neck raised to relax her figure, her bearing is graceful and her posture is elegant...

Seeing that the nuns who were waiting for the queen mother to take a bath wanted to salute and greet her, Xu Boqing hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then waved his hand to signal them to leave...

Those nuns were all old people around the Queen Mother. They immediately nodded understandingly and exited quietly, closing the door behind them...

"Mother Sun, give the Ai family a squeeze..."

Empress Dowager Chen nestled in the spring, closed her eyes and rested her mind, and did not notice at all that her grandma had withdrawn.

"yes…"

Xu Boqing responded in the voice of Grandma Sun, and then lightly crossed the curtains and screens and approached the bathtub...

Even though he had served the Queen Mother for two years, he still felt thirsty and couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that beauty's curled temples and pink neck that was white and rosy with drops of water hanging on it...

First, he put his hand to his mouth and exhaled hot air, then rubbed it again. After confirming that the palm of his hand was hot, he reached for the shaved beauty's shoulder and kneaded it gently...

He suppressed a smile on his face and asked playfully in the voice of Grandma Sun: "Mother, is this slave's strength adequate?"

"Um…"

Queen Mother Chen snorted softly through her nose.

Although I vaguely felt that this hand seemed a little delicate, when I heard the voice of Nanny Sun, I had no doubt that it was him...

"The strength is just right. Grandma Sun, your shoulder-squeezing skills have improved a lot..."

"As long as the strength is appropriate..."

Xu Boqing's fingers gently kneaded the shoulders and pink neck. Seeing the Queen Mother closing her eyes and enjoying it, he continued to pretend to be Grandma Sun without making a sound.

After a while, when he saw that the time was ripe, he smiled and said, "My dear, do you still need some fragrant dew?"

"Um…"

Empress Dowager Chen nodded slightly, raised her body and sat next to the bathing pool. Her back was well-proportioned and graceful. There was still a petal from the spring on her lower back, and her pink and jade-like feet were swinging casually in the pool...

She seemed to have thought of something, and sighed and ordered: "Help Aijia apply it evenly."

"This slave knows..."

Xu Boqing rolled his Adam's apple up and down, took the floral water, poured it into his palms and rubbed it gently. After it was warm, he applied it to the Queen Mother's back and applied it gently.

He rolled his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Why do you sigh?"

"Sigh that time is not forgiving..."

"Your Majesty is in her prime, why are you feeling so emotional?"

"Miao Ling?"

Empress Dowager Chen murmured and said sadly: "The Ai family is already old, how can they still be called young?"

Then he thought of Grandma Sun's age. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a 'young girl' at her age.

She shook her head and sighed to herself: "In an ordinary family, at the age of the Ai family, I would probably be able to have grandchildren and become a grandmother..."

"My queen, there is no need to worry..."

Xu Boqing thought for a moment. Concubine Zhou was two years younger than the Queen Mother, so she was indeed a grandmother. No wonder the Queen Mother was so emotional.

"With your figure, appearance, and temperament, your Majesty only looks like she is in her twenties. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has no trace of time."

"I will be an old woman in a few years..."

Queen Mother Chen smiled slightly, but secretly thought that Grandma Sun could speak today...

"She will still be beautiful after a few years~"

Xu Boqing smeared the fragrant dew on the Queen Mother's back, then poured some more into his hand, and slowly explored it from the side to the front...

"Um?"

Queen Mother Chen stiffened and let out a surprised sound...

Then she frowned slightly and looked down at the hands in front of her. Only then did she realize that those hands had tight skin and clear joints. They were not Grandma Sun's hands at all!!

She turned around quickly...

Only then did he realize that the person behind him was not Grandma Sun, but a thief with a look that made him faint...

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?"

When Xu Boqing saw that his disguise was discovered, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "As your empress's personal maid, there is nothing wrong with me taking her bath, right?"

"It was you all along?"

"yes…"

"You...will make fun of the Aijia."

Queen Mother Chen didn't know his bad taste, so she splashed some water on his face, and said in a coquettish and angry tone: "Why don't you tell the Ai family when you come back?"

"Don't you want to give me a surprise..."

Xu Boqing wiped off the water stains on his face, then took off his clothes and slid into the bathtub...

He pulled the charming and angry beautiful woman into his arms and exchanged their feelings. Before he could go any further, he suddenly heard the nun outside the door singing: "Yongning Palace, Zhou Guifei is visiting~"

Queen Mother Chen: “???”

Xu Boqing: "???"

The two of them looked at each other, both wondering what the imperial concubine's dark visit this week meant...

"Leave her alone~"

Xu Boqing was secretly ashamed. He didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Zhou and continued to follow his own pace...

Empress Dowager Chen, however, hurriedly touched the corner of his lips with her onion finger, gave him a peck on the cheek, and then said softly: "Don't worry, Rong Ai's family will ask why you are here~"

Then he said to the outside: "The Ai family is taking a bath. Why is my sister so anxious to find her?"

Concubine Zhou outside the door hesitated for a while, thinking of the 'unpleasantness' that happened at her son's banquet, and there were outsiders around, so it was difficult to talk to each other through the door...

Then he responded: "I have some private things that I want to talk to my sister about."

Empress Dowager Chen frowned slightly. She was just about to send her to the palace to wait for a while, but she heard someone coming from outside: "Sister, can I come in and talk to you?"
