Before she could figure out who had harmed her, a man with a pale face and no beard came outside the small courtyard.

The man had a shrill voice, knocked on the door good-naturedly, and asked, "Is Mrs. Ke at home?"

Zi Xing opened the door a crack, with a wary face, "Who are you, and what do you want from my wife?"

Aunt Xue heard the commotion and came over to take a look. This glance made her realize that something was wrong. She quickly opened the door and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, noble sir, my girl is spoiled by my wife. Please come in for tea."

The visitor was the father-in-law of the palace, and he was also an old man in the palace. When he saw this, he said calmly: "Well, the Za family won't go in. Please invite your wife to come out to receive the order."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right now."

Zi Xing was not stupid. He understood at this time and quickly brought some tea from the house and served it to him.

"My lord, please don't be offended by this little girl's words and deeds."

The father-in-law blew some tea and waited until her hands were sore before nodding slightly.

After all, it was someone from the palace. Ke Yiqing didn't dare to neglect him, so he was helped out by Yu Jin and Miss Yuan to meet people.

After getting a heavy purse, the father-in-law announced the decree with a smile.

This was the Queen Mother's decree, and the meaning was very clear, but she couldn't understand it.

"May I ask my father-in-law, why did the Queen Mother suddenly announce that I have entered the palace?"

"How can we guess the Queen Mother's will? Madam, it's better to pack things up quickly and follow me into the palace."

Yu Jin said anxiously: "But my wife has just been poisoned, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the fatigue of traveling and riding."

"This……"

The father-in-law also hesitated. After all, the intention was to send the person to the palace well, but when he saw Ke Yiqing's yellow lips and white lips, she seemed to be in poor health.

If something went wrong on the road, he couldn't afford it.

"Girl Jin, don't embarrass others. I'll just let him go."

It's not that Ke Yiqing doesn't value herself, but that she has figured out some tricks.

How could it be such a coincidence that just when she and Yan Ming were talking about the internal affairs of the imperial court, the shop was damaged and someone poisoned her?
The Queen Mother's people were impartial and showed up after she was poisoned?

This decree was not as simple as declaring her to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year. It was clearly meant to protect and beat her.

She secretly sighed: Chaotang really eats people without spitting out their bones. As soon as they were mixed in, people discovered it.

In the final analysis, she is still too weak and has no foundation now. Fortunately, Dejitang has a good reputation in Shengjing. There is no other use. However, if someone wants to touch her, they have to think carefully.

"If that's the case, then Madam, please tidy up. The Miscellaneous Family will just wait here."

"There is Mr. Lao."

What was thrust into the opponent's hand this time was a heavy gold ingot.

She didn't have anything else, but she had a lot of money. She didn't have the confidence to do so at first, but when she saw the father-in-law smiling so hard that her teeth couldn't even see her eyes, she started to have some worries of her own.

"Madam, I will enter the palace with you." Yu Jin's face was full of determination. The palace was not so easy to enter. If she was not careful, she would be unable to get in. She wanted to share the difficulties with her wife.

Ke Yiqing nodded. Needless to say, she also wanted to take Yujin with her. After all, Miss Yuan's identity was not suitable for people to see. Apart from Yujin, there were not many people around her who were trustworthy and could be brought into the palace.

"Go to Dr. Xie and ask her to take the medicine as prescribed above."

This recipe was given to her by Yan Ming. She had never been to the palace, so naturally she needed to be careful and prepared for everything.

She touched the child in her belly, a look of cruelty flashing in her eyes.

My child, don't blame your mother for being cruel. If you were forced to stay in such a golden cage, I would rather you were never born.

After giving these instructions, Aunt Xue also came in to clean up for her.

"Madam, the place you are going to is no better than the others. Don't be too aggressive in everything." As she said this, Aunt Xue wiped away her tears.

Ke Yiqing couldn't express the pain in her heart, so she managed to comfort her with a few words.Aunt Xue was right. She had no one to rely on in the palace, and the only one she could count on was the Queen Mother.

After thinking about it, she took out the colorful clothes and only took some plain and elegant ones. She didn't ask for anything else, but for peace.

After packing these, I took a lot of money in banknotes and a lot of heavy gold hairpins, but I didn't plan to wear them. They are also very good for keeping relationships.

Money can make all the difference, so she would bring more so that she could have someone by her side.

The maids and ladies in Ke Yiqing's yard are all quick-witted people, and in just half an hour, all her belongings were ready.

But when she was about to go out, a pair of hands gently pulled her.

It was actually Miss Yuan who had been silent all this time.

"How come?"

"Thanks to your care during this period, I..." Miss Yuan's eyes flashed with tears.

She stopped the other person, "Don't be friendly, just tell me if you have something to say."

Miss Yuan's words were choked in her throat. She snorted coldly and dropped everything.

"Please keep this thing safe. It may save your life at a critical moment."

The father-in-law outside urged her hard, so Ke Yiqing hurriedly put it away and left. He didn't listen carefully to what she said, but she was so angry that she stamped her feet.

It was windy and rainy along the way, and the weather was extremely bad. It didn't take long for her to be poisoned. Although the toxins had been removed, she couldn't withstand the cold. Fortunately, Yujin burned two or three Tangbaozi for her.

"Father-in-law, how long will it take to arrive?"

"Ma'am, we're almost there."

In the wind and snow, the other party's shrill voice was swallowed up completely.

She was not idle in the sedan chair. Instead, she pondered over and over again, which part of the process was flawless and made people notice that something was wrong.

If it was really because of what she said to Yan Ming that she interfered in internal affairs, then was the person who poisoned her the same person who blocked the grain merchants from entering the city?
To say the least, if not, then at least it is involved.

The sedan suddenly stopped, and her father-in-law helped her out.

"I'm so sorry, madam. When you get to this place, you can't sit in the sedan anymore. You have to get down and walk."

Yu Jin said worriedly: "Father-in-law, my wife's health is really..."

"No need to say more, I'm getting off."

She had also been to the palace in her previous life, and knew that the rules in the palace were greater than heaven, so it was really not the father-in-law who made things difficult for her.

Seeing how cooperative she was, my father-in-law looked much better.

Several people were walking in the wind and rain, and when they were about to arrive at the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother, they suddenly met an acquaintance.

Master Huiyuan put his hands together and said Amitabha.

"Master, are you here too?"

"The poor monk has met Mrs. Ke. The poor monk is here to discuss Buddhism with the Queen Mother."

"Master Huiyuan is an eminent monk, and the Queen Mother is also a person with deep ties to Buddhism. I think this trip to Master Huiyuan is worthwhile."

"Buddha crossing is destined for people."

The father-in-law reminded: "Madam, we are going to the Queen Mother's palace soon, so we'd better leave quickly."

She nodded slightly, but kept an eye on it.

Master Huiyuan seems to be aware of the secrets in her body. Is there any trace of him in the movements of the Queen Mother?
