seeped out.

Li Changan knew something was wrong and hurriedly chased him out.

"The Queen——"

"Eunuch Li, if you really want to comfort me, then please stop coming and let me be alone."

Her cheek was numb with pain, and when she touched the place where she was slapped while speaking, the sharp pain began to spread. She tried her best to endure the pain and finished speaking, and then left without looking back.

After what she said, Li Changan couldn't catch up anymore. In fact, the emperor's slap just now shocked him. Others might not be able to see the emperor's intentions towards the queen, but he could see it clearly. He didn't expect it.

The emperor would really beat the empress for Concubine Yun.

The heavy snow was still flying, and Mu Qingwan wandered in the snow exhausted physically and mentally. Her cheeks no longer hurt much, but the pain in her chest intensified. She felt a little top-heavy, and she reluctantly staggered in the snow.

What I was thinking about in my mind were all the little things that happened since I met Xia Houlie.

No matter how cold her heart was and how deep the hatred in her heart was, it was made of flesh and blood after all. It wasn't that she didn't know or couldn't feel Xia Houlie's kindness to her. She didn't know when she started to slowly learn how to treat her.

Trying to get closer to him and get to know him, she thought that maybe the relationship between them could slowly improve, and maybe Xia Houzie was not as bad and cruel as she thought.

As he said, she slowly learned to trust him, to rely on him, and even to care about him.

Therefore, after learning such a shocking secret and knowing that they would be detrimental to her, the first thing she thought of was him.

Her cheeks were buried deeply in her hands, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Why did she still think about this? That slap was enough to wake her up from her fantasy, and she realized that she was actually very wrong.

Why did she think that that bloodthirsty and cold-blooded man would put down the hatred in his heart for her? Why did she think that he would really become her asylum?

She will never again foolishly trust him or rely on him. All she can do is avoid him from a distance. It is best to leave this ghost place as soon as possible and never see him again!

After a night of tossing and turning, the next morning, not surprisingly, I received a summons from Queen Mother Yun.

"Your Majesty, we should inform the Emperor first and then decide whether to go or not."

Mo Ge couldn't help but feel scared when he thought about the series of accidents last night.

If Empress Dowager Yun summons her, there must be nothing good going on.

Although Mo Ge didn't explain what she said, Mu Qingwan knew what she meant, but what if she told Xia Houlie? What's more, whether she can see him now is a big problem.

She frowned and immediately asked Mo Ge to get a pen and paper, write down what she saw and heard last night, put it in an envelope and handed it to Mo Ge:

"Take this. If I don't come back before tonight, you can give it to the emperor. He knows what to do."

Mo Ge couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this: "Your Majesty——"

Mu Qingwan held her hand comfortingly, "I'm just in case, don't worry, I don't think the Queen Mother would be so stupid."

Then he called Biying, handed the token Xia Houlie gave her to her hand and said solemnly:

"Take this and leave the palace immediately to find the Sixth Prince and ask him to come to Cining Palace as soon as possible."

Biying nodded, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, since you know this is a Hongmen Banquet, why did you go?"

Mu Qingwan forced a smile on her face: "You can't avoid what is coming. Well, I will entrust my life to you two. Don't let me down."

After hearing this, the two girls nodded with tears in their eyes. Qingran's urging soon came from outside. Knowing that she could no longer avoid it, she walked out without changing her clothes.

The Cining Hall is still as exquisite and exquisitely carved as in the impression. There is a plum forest outside the hall. At this moment, it is covered with white snow, clusters of red plums, and the fragrant breeze is lingering. It feels like being in a fairyland on earth. However, at this moment, Mu Qingwan has no intention of admiring it anymore.

"The Queen has arrived."

"Xuan."

A graceful voice sounded, and the guards at the door quickly bowed and led Mu Qingwan in. She turned around calmly and saw that a dozen guards who looked very unfamiliar quickly surrounded the entrance of the palace.

As she walked in, the palace doors were closed behind her one by one. In the silent palace, the only sound left was the sound of her walking, which seemed extremely strange.

Mu Qingwan mustered up her energy, secretly increased her vigilance, and walked to the inner hall. In the center, sitting on a high jade chair, was the Queen Mother Yun. Although she did not have the appearance of a king, she was wearing a colorful brocade robe and a hair on her head.

The phoenix hairpin perfectly outlined her graceful appearance. Under the phoenix seat sat several concubines whom she had met several times and several concubines of Xiahou Lie. They were all dressed up and looked as beautiful as flowers.

.

"My concubine, I wish to meet the Queen Mother, Your Majesty Jin An!" It turned out that there were so many people in the palace. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned down and bowed in a formal manner.

"Please get up quickly, we are all a family, no need to be formal." Empress Dowager Yun waved to her, "Come, please sit down."

Immediately, a palace maid set up a chair next to the Queen Mother. Queen Mother Yun took Mu Qingwan's hand affectionately and said, "My child, come and sit here. The Ai family has acquired several ferret furs in the past few days. They used to be Ai's furs."

The family is not right and I have treated you badly, but now, you have used your virtuousness and talent to convince the Ai family, so that the Ai family has to admit that having a woman like you as our queen of Beiyan is really a blessing for Beiyan...

"

Just as he was talking, he saw the nanny next to him bringing several silver plates and said hurriedly: "Come on, come on, let's see which one we like."

As soon as these ferret furs appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them. At the same time, Mu Qingwan also felt several hostile eyes directed at her.

I sighed in my heart, knowing that I had become the target of public criticism again.

I had no choice but to sit down next to the Queen Mother, and then pointed at something casually, "That's it. I would like to thank the Queen Mother for the reward."

Queen Mother Yun smiled gently and waved her hand to the maid next to her, "You can help me put it on and see if it fits me."

Mu Qingwan couldn't resist, so she had to put on the ferret fur, which had a faint fragrance. Mu Qingwan checked it carefully and found that it was indeed just an ordinary floral fragrance.

Seeing her put it on, Queen Mother Yun nodded with satisfaction, and held her hands in her hands affectionately and patted them: "Qingwan, Lie'er's mother and concubine are no longer here, and Lie'er is just like a child of the Ai family.

I can see that Lieer attaches great importance to you. If your emperor and empress can raise eyebrows and work together, the Ai family will also be happy to see you."

Hearing this, Mu Qingwan cursed in her heart. Her words were really better than her singing. She was not sure what she was scolding her for. She was being courteous for nothing, and was either a traitor or a thief.

She was secretly on guard, but she quickly said: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I am just doing my duty. I will have to rely on the Queen Mother for guidance in the future."

After chatting with them lukewarmly for a while, a maid came up and said:

"The Queen Mother, the ginseng oolong tea is ready."

"Bring it here." After hearing this, Queen Mother Yun waved her hand, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This ginseng oolong tea can replenish blood and nourish the skin. Let's all try it together."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." A burst of grateful thanks suddenly sounded in the hall.

The rose-red tea is served in a green jade bowl. The color is instantly beautiful and it also smells rich.

fragrance?

Mu Qingwan suddenly shrugged her nose and brought the ginseng oolong tea in her hand to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.

I bet this is Empress Dowager Yun’s real purpose today!

His cold eyes glanced at the ferret fur on his body. The quiet fragrance on it might not be a big deal on its own, and there was no harm in eating the ginseng oolong tea in his hand alone. However, when these two fragrances are mixed together, it is not as simple as poisoning.

.

Mu Qingwan's eyes were as cold as cold iron. She never expected that Mrs. Yun was indeed a master of poisoning. She poisoned the Empress Dowager last time, and this time it was her turn again.

This poison will not take effect for a while, but will only make people slowly become lethargic and mentally weak, and then their thinking will gradually slow down, and they will slowly become dementia, and then they will die without knowing it.

In other words, this poison is a , which mainly controls people's nerves and makes people mentally disordered and paralyzed.

"Qingwan, why don't you drink it? It's not to your liking?"

Seeing that Mu Qingwan was still holding the jade bowl, Queen Mother Yun asked hurriedly and lovingly.

Mu Qingwan slowly glanced at everyone present, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and she had some concerns in her heart. She raised the jade bowl and drank the ginseng oolong tea in one gulp.

Mu Qingwan did not miss Empress Dowager Yun's relieved smile. Seeing her relieved look, Mu Qingwan couldn't help but smile even more happily in her heart.

Next, Mu Qingwan gave full play to her acting talent, making everyone present laugh, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.
