Qu looked at Queen Qu in shock.

"Did you hear that?"

"Looking at your reaction, is it really Qianqian who is talking?"

Qu has a lot of grievances that he cannot express.

You said you were keeping it a secret, so how come there's now another person who can hear Qianqian's inner thoughts?

Didn’t the Queen hear what Qianqian said about the Queen’s bedroom smelling bad?

After all, there was a difference in status. After getting the queen's answer, Qu hurriedly knelt down while hugging Wen Qianqian.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Qianqian is not even a month old yet and doesn't know the rules. Please don't take her nonsense to heart!"

Queen Qu was shocked.

"Qianqian... she's not even a month old yet, and she can already speak. This, this is incredible!"

After being shocked, Queen Qu finally reacted and quickly helped Qu up.

"Hurry up, why are you kneeling? I won't bother with a child. Besides, Qianqian is my grandniece. Even if her bones are broken, her tendons are still connected."

Only then did Qu dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aunt, Qianqian can't speak. What you heard was just her inner voice."

"I see! No wonder her little mouth wasn't open when I saw it."

Queen Qu smiled, and excitedly took Wen Qianqian from Qu's arms and coaxed her curiously.

"Qianqian, I'm your aunt, call me aunt."

Wen Qianqian was a little resistant.

[No, it stinks here, Qianqian wants to go home! ]

Queen Qu's expression froze.

Qu quickly reprimanded: "Qianqian, don't talk nonsense!"

"Jinxin, it's okay."

Queen Qu shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't care.

She then asked Wen Qianqian: "Qianqian, tell me, what did you smell? Is it the incense in this room that you don't like?"

[It’s not incense, it’s a stink! ]

Qu became anxious.

Qianqian is the smartest child in her family, why is she like this today?

Could it be that there really is some smell in this bedroom?

But even if there is a smell, you can't say it directly.

After all, the other party is the queen, and even though they are family, they have to be careful when speaking.

"Qianqian, stop talking nonsense."

Queen Qu vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Children would not lie, and she must have really smelled something bad.

Thinking of this, she signaled Qu to stop talking.

"Qianqian, tell me what kind of stench you smell? Can you find the source of the stench?"

What Queen Qu was thinking was, could it be that a dead rat died here somewhere?

Qianqian is so extraordinary that she can talk to them with her mind. Maybe her sense of smell is more sensitive than theirs.

【Can. 】

Wen Qianqian nodded.

【The stench is right under our feet.】

"Under your feet?" Queen Qu quickly lowered her head to look.

The newly laid yellow carpet with lotus pattern was clean and very flat, so there was no way there could be a dead mouse on it.

Nanny Qian followed the Queen's gaze and immediately lifted the carpet with her eyes and nose focused.

Apart from the gold brick, there was no dust at all.

Queen Qu frowned: "Could it be that it is under this gold brick?"

[Yes, it is right under the gold bricks. It stinks.]

[Not only is it smelly, it's also vicious! People who smell this stench for a long time will soon be plagued by illness. ]

Suffering from illness...

Qu subconsciously raised her eyelids and looked at Queen Qu.

Empress Qu has indeed aged faster in the past two years.

Even if Concubine De deliberately treated the Queen harshly, it would not be to this extent.

What Qianqian said made sense and I think it was probably correct.

After all, she did say a lot of things that they had never thought of before.

Even Yunyou was found by Qianqian.

It seems that Qianqian is not unruly, but there is something fishy going on behind the scenes.

Qu hesitated for a moment, and said in a disapproving tone: "Aunt, although Qianqian is still a child at heart, she has repeatedly said that there is a bad smell. Maybe there is really something smelly buried underneath..."

Queen Qu calmed down and gave instructions to Nanny Qian.

"Go and call in all the strong men to uncover this gold brick and have a look."

Madam Qian said hesitantly, "But, Your Majesty, these gold bricks were just repaired by the Imperial Household Department half a year ago. It takes a long time to grind a two-foot gold brick, and only three bricks are produced per worker. If we uncover them now, the Imperial Household Department may complain and report them to Your Majesty, and our lives will be in jeopardy..."

"I am the queen!"

Even a lean camel is bigger than a horse!

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has relied on Concubine De's favor and has treated her harshly for a long time. If she really finds a problem today, she might be able to ask His Majesty to take back Concubine De's power to assist in managing the six palaces.

If there is no problem with the gold brick, then she can just shamelessly go and ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come over in person.

She used to be disheartened and didn't want to bother with these dirty things.

Even when there was a shortage of silver charcoal in winter, she never said a word.

But now her elder brother seemed to be intent on supporting her Wang'er again, so she naturally had to establish herself again and no longer be the useless queen who was bullied and laughed at by everyone.

"Yes!" Seeing that her queen had vaguely regained some of her former spirit, Nanny Qian didn't care about anything else and went out to call for help.

As long as her queen is willing to make a comeback, what does it matter if she is sued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

As the eunuchs in Kunning Palace took action, the two-foot-high gold bricks were uncovered piece by piece.

Queen Qu stared at the ground, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she stepped back with a cry of surprise: "Ah..."

Even Madam Qian, the oldest maid in Kunning Palace, was so frightened by what was under the gold brick that she even forgot to help the queen who almost fell.

I saw that there was no soil under the gold brick, but a hole dug by someone.

In the cave, there was a bloody thing that looked like a human.

A foul smell emanated from the thing, and screams were heard from Kunning Palace.

Everyone fled from the cave in terror.

"Your Majesty..." Nanny Qian came back to her senses at this time.

After all, she is older and knows more.

"This thing looks like what people call a drought demon!"

Queen Qu looked pale.

She was about to speak when she suddenly heard Wen Qianqian's voice.

[This is Hanba. When Hanba is alive, it can cause drought wherever it goes.]

[But after death, if someone turns them into a blood demon, it will cause them to age quickly and become bedridden.]

[It stinks, it stinks too much! Baby wants to go home! ]

Queen Qu tried hard to regain her composure.

She said, "Madame Qian, go and call His Majesty over!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Qian walked around the cave and ran out quickly.

Although she was old, she was still very agile and soon arrived at the Qianqing Palace where the current Emperor Ming was staying.

Emperor Ming was reviewing memorials.

When his fingers turned to the memorial submitted by Prime Minister Qu, his expression froze slightly.

Prime Minister Qu was a member of the Prince's Party. When he and a group of court officials recommended the eldest prince as the crown prince, he was also surprised for a long time.

After all, the second prince born to the queen is a member of the Qu family.

Moreover, it was Prime Minister Qu who recommended the Second Prince to go to the border and work with Qu Xingzhou to attack the small countries that invaded the Ming Dynasty.

Prime Minister Qu did that because, firstly, although the Second Prince could not speak, he was talented in both civil and military affairs, and if he went to the border, he could ensure that the Ming Dynasty would return victorious.

Second, keeping the Second Prince, the legitimate son, in the capital would be detrimental to the stability of the Crown Prince and the Ming Dynasty.

But yesterday, he proposed in court that the second prince, who had won the battle, should return to the court.

He was a little confused about the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

"His Majesty!"

Suddenly, an old woman's voice was heard outside the door.
