Queen is fearless

Chapter 46 The Queen Mother Returns
"My lord, can you use something?" In the Qingqiu Pavilion, Qiuyue put the heated food back on the table, seeing Lin Jieyu in a daze, she persuaded her in a low voice.

"Qiuyue, why do you think the emperor is so cruel?" Looking outside the room, Lin Jieyu's voice was full of despair.

Qiuyue bit her lips, she didn't dare to speak, she was just a slave, how could she dare to speak right and wrong of her master?
"I killed Yingchun. If I hadn't beaten her, she wouldn't have left Qingqiu Pavilion and been murdered..." Although the palace servants reported that Yingchun committed suicide, she didn't believe it.

Since childhood, Yingchun and Qiuyue have been by her side. She knows what kind of temperament Yingchun is, and she will never commit suicide because of her beating and scolding.

Someone must have killed her!
"Master, Yingchun has already gone, you have to take care of yourself." Qiuyue also felt that it was impossible for Yingchun to commit suicide, but she was already dead, and no one could help them investigate the truth.

Qiuyue's heart was full of uneasiness, now something happened to Yingchun, she didn't know if the next person would be her turn?
"Help me choose a decent set of clothes, I'm going to see the emperor tomorrow!" Lin Jieyu's voice startled Qiuyue, she disapproved of what the master meant.

"Master, you are like this, so what if you go to see the emperor?" She also wanted to say, "Since the emperor has demoted her to Jieyu, it shows how much he hates her. Make the emperor unhappy'.

But in this case, she didn't dare to say it, she could only hope that the master could figure it out by himself.

"Yeah, so what can I do?" Lin Jieyu murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face.

"Master, if you really want to find out about Yingchun, there is only one person you can find, and that is the empress."

Gritting her teeth, Qiuyue said what was in her heart. The current harem is held in the hands of the empress, and only she may be able to find out the truth.

But according to the character of the master, it may be more difficult for her to beg the empress than to go to heaven.

"What did you say?" Sure enough, Lin Jieyu stared, "If it wasn't for her, why would I be like this? The empress and I are at odds!"

Even if she were to die, she would never ask the queen for a word.

Qiuyue sighed in her heart, she knew it would be like this, "Master, calm down, the matter of Yingchun, it's a big deal to investigate slowly, but right now, your body is more important, you should eat something."

She said so, Lin Jieyu nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the food on the table like chewing wax.

Zhou Jing hugged the sleeping Gu Jinzhi and returned to Longgan Palace. At this moment, he was in a very good mood.

Unexpectedly, on the boat, the queen would come up with such a bold idea. It was the first time he tried it, and the taste was really ecstasy.

Putting Gu Jinzhi on the bed, Zhou Jing looked at her sleeping face. At this time, she was sleeping soundly, with one hand hooked on his clothes.

Stretching out his hand, Zhou Jing trimmed her hair at the temples. He pulled out his sleeves and tidied them up. Then he lay down beside Gu Jinzhi and held her in his arms.

Gu Jinzhi, who was in her arms, rubbed against Zhou Jing's chest, put her arms around his waist, seemed to be extremely dependent, and a smile appeared on her lips where Zhou Jing couldn't see.

When Gu Jinzhi woke up the next morning, Zhou Jing had already gone to court.

Qingluan and Hongxiu brought new robes from Fengyang Palace and helped her to bathe and change.

After breakfast, she didn't rush back to Fengyang Palace, but ordered to go to the lotus pond last night.

The palace lanterns had already been removed, and the lotus in the half pond kept a smile on Gu Jinzhi's face.

After ordering the palace servants to pick some lotus flowers, Gu Jinzhi returned to Fengyang Palace.

"Ma'am, I heard that Yingchun who was beside Lin Jieyu died." Qingluan replied with scented tea on the small table.

Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised, she looked at Qingluan, waiting for her to speak again.

Thus, Qingluan reported everything she knew to Gu Jinzhi, and Gu Jinzhi couldn't help frowning after hearing what she said.

She had an impression of Yingchun, she was a smart person, Gu Jinzhi felt that it was impossible for such a person to commit suicide because of being beaten.

"The servant speculates that Yingchun may have been murdered by someone, but who it is, the servant dare not speculate."

When Qingluan talked about her own thoughts, it coincided with what Gu Jinzhi thought.

"Send someone to watch Qingqiu Pavilion. If someone really wants to attack Lin Jieyu, maybe the next one will be Qiuyue."

Gu Jinzhi pondered that someone probably wanted to attack Lin Jieyu. She was born in the Lin family, and she used to be a high-ranking concubine Lin, so she had a domineering temper.

Even if she becomes Lin Jieyu, sometimes she doesn't pay much attention to what she says and does. Fortunately, Yingchun and Qiuyue around her remind her secretly.

If we can get rid of these two people, then we can deal with Lin Jieyu without any effort.

After receiving the order, Qingluan complied, and exited the hall. Gu Jinzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After Yingchun happened, Qiuyue was more cautious and tried not to go out by herself.

In addition, Gu Jinzhi sent someone to watch Qingqiu Pavilion, so nothing happened until the end of the month.

…………

At the end of July, when the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xing returned, Gu Jinzhi got the news and led all the concubines to wait outside Shoukang Palace early.

Holding Liu Nanny's hand, the Empress Dowager got off the sedan chair, and when she saw the Empress leading all the concubines to salute, she smiled and asked them to stand up.

Concubine Xing's sedan chair was parked behind the empress dowager's sedan chair. At this moment, she also supported the mother's hand and got off the sedan chair.

His eyes turned around the concubines and landed on Gu Jinzhi. Concubine Xing raised her eyebrows and walked to the side of the queen mother.

"I didn't feel anything before, but now I look at these beautiful little girls, and I really feel old."

Smiling and speaking, Concubine Xing looked at the Queen Mother and held her other arm, which should have been done by Gu Jinzhi.

"Sister said this, if you are old, wouldn't Aijia be even older? You have worked hard all the way, let the queen serve you."

Looking at Gu Jinzhi, the Empress Dowager said with a smile, Gu Jinzhi responded, walked up to Concubine Xing, and took the Empress Dowager from her hand.

At this moment, some coldness flashed in Taifei Xing's eyes very quickly, and then it was replaced by a smile, "After all, it is the queen mother who loves me."

It stands to reason that in front of the Queen Mother, Concubine Xing should call herself a 'concubine', but she calls herself 'I'.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't help but think of what the emperor said before, that the emperor loved Concubine Xing very much, presumably this title was changed from then on.

Just now, Gu Jinzhi had sneaked a look at her. Although the current Concubine Xing is a bit older, she still has a charm. One can imagine what kind of demeanor she will be when she was young.
"Let's go." The queen mother's voice came, calling Gu Jinzhi's thoughts back. She responded in a low voice, and together with Liu mama, helped the queen mother to walk into Shoukang Palace...
