Chapter 921 Want to Test Fourth Master

"When the palace was expanded, a secret passage was indeed built between the front courtyard and the main courtyard. Because the elder brother and the second elder brother lived in the front courtyard, if they went around the main courtyard to pay respects to the queen, it would be time-consuming and laborious. The servant built a secret passage." Fourth Master said without hesitation.

After speaking, he casually raised his head and glanced at the woman across from him.

Ruoyin just finished drinking his tea and looked up to meet fourth master's eyes.

For a moment, the four eyes met.

Ruoyin looked away first, and turned to look at the queen mother.

He only left a beautiful side face for him, not even a smiling face.

"That's right." Aijia believed your nonsense, the queen mother thought so in her heart, but she said kindly: "So that's the case, yes, mothers just want to see their children more, Aijia now That's exactly how I feel."

Even if she doesn't believe it, it's not easy to expose it.

It's just that the inside and outside of the words are implying that the fourth master will let the fourteenth master back.

But the fourth master got up and said: "It's late at night, since the Queen's mother is not feeling well, it's better to rest earlier. I still have a memorial that has not been approved, so I will go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first."

After speaking, he left Yonghe Palace with his servants.

After fourth master left, Ruoyin saluted the queen mother and went back to the room arranged by the queen mother to rest.

Seeing the couple leave one by one, the queen mother rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a little upset.

"Queen Mother, why are you looking at me...there is something wrong with the emperor and empress." Aunt Cui reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, you can see it too." The queen mother leaned her elbows on the armrest, snorted coldly, and said, "The emperor is really calm. In order to play in front of Ai's family, he didn't say a word to the queen." I didn’t pay much attention to the words, the Xie Ai family thought that by keeping the queen here, Fourteen would be able to come back sooner.”

"No, why does this slave feel that the emperor and the empress seem to be having an awkward relationship, and this is the birth." Aunt Cui massaged the queen mother's shoulders, and said, "Do you want... do you want this slave to send someone to inquire about it?" Let's see what's going on?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager suddenly regained her spirits.

"Yes, why didn't the Ai family think of this." The body who was leaning on the armrest was also sitting upright, "You should ask someone to inquire now, hurry up."

"Okay." After Aunt Cui agreed, she went out.

It seems that this matter must be inquired clearly tonight.

Otherwise, with the empress dowager acting like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night.

In the Forbidden City, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be inquired about.

About half an hour later, Aunt Cui came back.

She leaned over to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "The servant really guessed it right, the emperor and the queen really have a quarrel."

"When did this happen?"

"Just a while ago, it wasn't long after the emperor took the throne." Aunt Cui shook her head and said, "It's too unfortunate, why don't we let the queen go back to Yongshou Palace, don't worry about it at all. , we asked the emperor to write down an extra sum."

The couple is having a quarrel, let alone not in the Yonghe Palace, even if the empress is in the Yongshou Palace, the emperor will not visit her.

Wouldn't it be even more difficult to arrive at the Yonghe Palace now?

Originally, there was a gap between the queen mother and the emperor, so don't add this one, it's superfluous.

"That won't work." Concubine De's attitude was firm, she disagreed and said: "Why is it not a coincidence, it is a coincidence, it is simply too coincidental!"

Aunt Cui: "..."

As she said that, Concubine De still showed an expression of sheer determination, "Just wait and see, the Ai family has kept the queen here, I want to see how calm the emperor is."

At first, he thought that the emperor really didn't care, whether he had deducted the wrong person.

But when she knew that the young couple was having a conflict, her confidence doubled.

On the other end, after returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the fourth master lowered his head to review the memorial, and asked calmly, "When did the empress go to the empress dowager's place?"

Su Peisheng was questioned out of the blue, and after a while, he quickly replied: "I heard that in the morning, the Empress Dowager invited the Empress Dowager to the Yonghe Palace."

As soon as the words fell, Su Peisheng felt a chill sweeping towards him.

But the ice basin in the house is far away from him.

He secretly looked at fourth master, only to realize that this master was staring at him.

He was so frightened that he knelt down immediately.

"You bastard, why didn't you say it earlier." Fourth Master casually picked up a pen and threw it at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng didn't hide, just smiled and said: "The servant thought that the queen mother just let the queen go and have a look. I didn't expect that the queen mother left the queen in Yonghe Palace, and she won't let anyone go until now."

How did he know what tricks the Queen Mother was playing.

I thought it was just the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reminiscing about the old days.

Fourth master gritted his teeth in displeasure, and said coldly: "Let people look at the Yonghe Palace, and if there is anything, report it as soon as possible."

"Hey." After Su Peisheng agreed, he withdrew.

In the next few days, fourth master went to court as usual.

After going down to court, sometimes I would go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects.

However, when Ruoyin was not detained at the queen mother's place, he was also very strict and greeted the queen mother on time.

So, I can't see any problem.

Sometimes, when fourth master greeted the queen mother, Ruoyin was also there.

Sometimes, Ruoyin wasn't there.

On this day, fourth master came to pay respects to the Queen Mother as usual.

After taking his seat in the hall, he took a sip of his tea.

When he raised his head, Yu Guang casually glanced around and exchanged a few words with the Queen Mother.

"Emperor Niang's health is better."

"It's not going to be a big deal at first, but with the queen here, Ai's family feels much more relaxed." The queen mother pointedly said.

Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, "I don't know what the Empress is referring to?"

"The queen is a caring person. She came to serve in my room before dawn in the morning. After lunch, she even massaged my muscles and bones. At night, when I took a rest, she went back to the house to rest. , I have to copy a few Buddhist scriptures for Ai’s family, I’m afraid it’s just a show, but I’m so filial every day, I’m really a very good person.”

In fact, Ruoyin has indeed done all these things.

But not every day.

Just happen to come across it occasionally, so I do it.

After all, she is the Queen after all.

The queen mother is not really sick, and she will not be kept by her side all day long.

If she said she neglected the queen mother, maybe the queen mother would make it difficult for her to learn the rules in front of her every day.

But she behaved well every time, making the Queen Mother submissive, and there was no way to vent her anger on her.

But the matter of copying scriptures is true.

In the past few days, the queen mother specially asked Ruoyin to copy a few scriptures for her.

The purpose was to detain her in the room and try to test fourth master.

At this moment, the empress dowager's experienced eyes were staring at the fourth master, not letting go of a trace of facial expression.
