"Madam, take your medicine."

The Queen Mother did not want to reveal her identity, so Yu En changed her title.

Here he comes, here he comes, with the magic sound of drinking medicine.

The Queen Mother's face turned slightly darker.

But when I saw the small plate of pastries on the tray, it looked a little better.

"Why are there only two pieces? Did you eat them?"

He is so bold.

Yu En: “…”

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

"Madam, you said the vegetable porridge at noon didn't taste good, so you ate pastries after the meal." If he hadn't stopped her quickly, the last two pieces would have been gone.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then she remembered.

"Well, I'm just asking. Bring me the medicine."

The Queen Mother said, "I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed," with a blank expression.

Yu En didn't think too much about it and served the empress dowager medicine attentively.

While the Queen Mother was eating cakes, he said, "Madam, I have inquired about it. The girl who saved you is the eldest daughter of Gu Yanqing, the tutor of the Hanlin Academy. She is married to the Prince of Ming in the Pingyang Palace."

When the Empress Dowager heard about Gu Yanqing, the reader in the Hanlin Academy, she frowned and thought for a moment, but had no impression.

It can be seen that this person has no ability, otherwise how could she not know.

After returning to the palace and doing some investigation, she found out that since she had raised a daughter as well-behaved, cute and lovable as Yinyin, it was not impossible for her to give her some support.

The Queen Mother was thinking in her mind, and then she heard the second half of Yu En's words.

The hand that was eating the cake suddenly paused, looked up at Yu En, and asked again in disbelief: "Who are you going to marry?"

Yu En: "The Prince of Ming in the Prince's Palace of Pingyang, Fu Yunjing."

"Tsk, isn't that He Shunhua's grandson? How come he married into her family?" The Queen Mother muttered, her face full of disgust.

I don’t know whether he dislikes Fu Yunjing or He Shunhua.

"He Shunhua? Is this the old princess' maiden name?" Yu En asked tentatively.

The Queen Mother nodded.

Yu En: "From what the Queen Mother said, it seems that she is an old acquaintance of the old princess?"

"Haha." The Queen Mother sneered and gritted her teeth and said, "If enemies can be counted, then he is indeed an old acquaintance."

Yu En: Uh…

"How could He Shunhua have such a great honor to marry such a great granddaughter-in-law as my granddaughter? It's like a flower stuck in cow dung, or a fine jade cabbage being eaten by a pig."

In Chaohui Hall, the old princess suddenly sneezed loudly.

She rubbed her itchy nose: "Who is scolding me?"

Seeing this, Mother Qin quickly took a cloak and put it on the old princess' shoulders, smiling and saying, "How could that be possible? You were caught in the wind."

……

In the imperial palace, in the imperial study, kneeling were several secret guards belonging to the emperor.

He was also the one sent to assassinate the Queen Mother.

"You useless thing. You still can't find someone after so many days. Where can she go at her age?"

The secret guards lowered their heads, not daring to breathe: "This slave deserves to die."

"I don't care. I will find her even if I have to dig three feet underground. Now that the empress dowager is out of the palace, it is the best time to kill her." If we miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to assassinate her again in the future.

Not to mention that the Queen Mother cannot allow anything to happen in the palace, even if she had experienced an assassination attempt, would she be unprepared?

Emperor Jianhe's face was extremely gloomy. He absolutely could not let the empress dowager return to the palace alive.

"Yes." The secret guards responded.

"get out."

The secret guards disappeared silently, and even the royal guards guarding outside the door did not notice.

This is a killer secretly trained by the emperor, who can do some shady things for the emperor.

For example, assassinating the Queen Mother.

Zhao Ren came over with a teacup in hand, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, have a cup of ginseng tea to calm down."

"Leave it alone."

Zhao Ren did not dare to say more. He placed the teacup next to Emperor Jianhe and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you deal with Nanny Zhou?"

Emperor Jianhe stared in deep thought, and after a moment he said, "Leave her in the Qianqing Palace first, and have someone keep an eye on her. If we can kill the empress dowager, the Qin family will definitely not give up, and I'm afraid they will suspect me. I can't break up with Qin Xu right now, and then Nanny Zhou will be an important witness."

“With her testimony, the empress dowager went to Huangjue Temple, disguised herself and left quietly to meet with the Prince of Qi in private, which led to her death on the way. This way, the Qin family didn’t have the face to make a scene.” Otherwise, if the current empress dowager had a private meeting with the Prince of Qi, and the news got out, not only would the royal family lose face, but the Qin family would also be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Zhao Ren responded respectfully: "I understand."

Two days later, just as Gu Zhiyin got off the carriage, she saw Yu En jogging back from outside, in a hurry and sweating profusely.

"Uncle Yu, why are you running so fast? What happened?"

"Princess Princess." Yu En bowed and said, "I just went out for a walk and found someone in the village a mile away asking if there were any strangers recently. I suspected that they were here to look for Madam Dowager, so I hurried back. They will find out about this place soon. I'm afraid it's not suitable for us to stay here for long. We have to ask Madam Dowager to move to another place."

After a pause, Yu En looked at Gu Zhiyin eagerly: "Can the Princess of the County change the residence for the Madam?"

"Okay." Gu Zhiyin responded.

The two of them walked inside.

There was a lounge chair in the yard. The empress dowager lay on it, rocking her little feet, looking very comfortable.

A little maid from the farm nearby was peeling grapes for her.

She peeled one and ate one.

Yu En stepped forward and told Gu Zhiyin that someone was trying to find out about the Queen Mother. Gu Zhiyin continued, "If you don't mind, why don't you come back to Prince Pingyang's Palace with me?"

The Queen Mother stopped shaking and said with a look of resistance, "That's your husband's house. It's not appropriate for an old lady like me to live there suddenly."

She didn't want to see He Shunhua, as she was afraid that she would not be able to resist beating someone up.

Gu Zhiyin didn't know the grudge between the Queen Mother and the old princess, so she smiled and said, "Aren't you my grandmother? How can it be inappropriate? My grandmother and the others are all kind-hearted people, and they can't wait to welcome you."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes inwardly.

Will He Shunhua welcome her?

Even if I beat her to death, I wouldn’t believe it.

But he didn't have the courage to kick her out.

"If grandma can go back with me, it will be easier for me to take care of you, right?" Gu Zhiyin continued.

Ah... this...

I'm a little moved.

In the end, the Queen Mother's joy in wanting to live with Gu Zhiyin overcame her dislike for the old princess.

"alright."

……

A carriage took the Queen Mother to the Prince of Pingyang's Palace.

Gu Zhiyin took care of Leng Moqiu and the people in the village, but whenever someone came to ask, he knew nothing.

In order to avoid being discovered, Yu En also sat in the carriage, opposite the Queen Mother and Gu Zhiyin.

Yu En held a folding fan in his hand, which he would open and fold, touching the fan from time to time, with a smile on his face. He could not let it go at first sight.

"It's already autumn and you're holding a fan. What's wrong with you?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but speak out.

Yu En raised his head and gave the Queen Mother a flattering smile: "I will just watch, not fan."

The Queen Mother looked at it carefully and was immediately attracted by the pattern on the fan: "This is a good painting. Where did you get it?"

"Hehe." Yu En smiled from ear to ear when he saw that his fan was praised by the Queen Mother. "It was given to me by Mr. Leng from the farm. He was painting at the time and saw that I liked it, so he gave it to me. What a good man."

The Queen Mother was stunned: "Is there anyone with frigidity in the village? How come I don't know about it?"

Yu En: Queen Mother, you only have the Princess in your eyes, no one else?

Your eyes are looking up to the sky, how can ordinary people catch your eye?

"He's the scholar who lives in the west yard and devotes himself to studying." Yu En explained.

The Queen Mother thought about it seriously and remembered: "Oh... I remember, he was very handsome."

"Why should I give you a fan and not me?"

Yu En opened his mouth and managed to say something after a long while: "You didn't say you liked it."

The Queen Mother gave him a murderous look, and Yu En instantly became timid.

He handed over the fan in his hand: "If you don't mind, Madam, I'll give it to you."

The Queen Mother readily accepted it.

Yu En: “…”

I dare not have any opinion.

Soon, they arrived at Prince Pingyang's Palace.

Gu Zhiyin asked the servant to drive directly into the mansion and stop at the hanging flower gate connecting the front yard and the back yard.

Yu En was the first to get off the carriage, and used his only good hand to help the empress dowager get off.

The Queen Mother stepped down from the carriage and pushed Yu En aside: "No need for you."

Then he waved to Gu Zhiyin with a smile: "Yinyin, come, help grandma."

Gu Zhiyin walked over with a smile, and obediently helped the empress dowager walk to the backyard.

"Grandma, I will order someone to clean up the courtyard in a moment. Before that, you will stay with me in Qionghua Courtyard today."

"Good, you are thoughtful." The Queen Mother said happily.

Gu Zhiyin: "Um...would you like to go with me to see grandma first?"

According to common sense, the old king has a higher seniority and is the owner of the palace, so he should go and meet him.

But they are ordinary people, who is the queen mother?

She was afraid that He Shunhua would shorten his life.

Yu En hurriedly said, "Princess of the County, my wife's status is special, it's not appropriate for her to meet the old princess."

Gu Zhiyin was shocked and understood the meaning of Yu En's words.

Special status?

That is a more honorable status than grandmother.

Or maybe she is older than grandma!

After Gu Zhiyin settled the people, she went to Chaohui Hall. The old lady did not go to see her grandmother, so she brought the guests back home and had to report to her grandmother.
