The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

It seems that in the minds of the Rong family, they may not be so in favor of their daughter marrying into the royal family.

At least that's what the nanny said, "Back then, the young lady couldn't stop thinking about Master Chu, and she didn't want to eat or drink. The young lady was a decisive person, and when she liked someone, she didn't want to compromise herself, so she was ready to give up everything and confess her love to him. But who knew that your father had already returned to Dasui. The young lady had already packed her things and was ready to go to Dasui to find him, but the announcement of the results came down."

Everyone knew what happened next. Empress Dowager Rong topped the list and was summoned by the Emperor, who was so astonished by her beauty that he took her into the harem on the spot.

It was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Empress Dowager Rong on the head, and all her dreams came to nothing. The Rong family and Empress Dowager Rong herself were helpless. The imperial order was hard to disobey. Who dared to go against the emperor?

From then on, Queen Mother Rong became a woman in the palace, and there was no possibility for her to meet the Loyal and Brave Marquis of Dasui again, until she supported her son to ascend the throne and Nandi and Dasui went to war. One day, she accidentally learned that the Loyal and Brave Marquis who was fighting against Nandi on the border was the young man who made her heart beat fast back then...

Chu Yunxi's thoughts were in turmoil, and she was trying to think from another perspective. If it were her, and the person she had missed all her life stood on the opposite side of the country and on the opposite side of her son, what should she do?

Of course, I want to meet you, and of course I want to ask you if you still remember who I am. At the very least, I want to give an explanation for my obsession for so many years, right?

Or maybe, the regret in his heart has become a demon, and as long as he can get the person, he must bring that person to his side no matter what means?

Chu Yunxi felt that no matter what, Queen Mother Rong must be involved in her father's remains being taken back to Nandi. She decided to take the risk at that time. She wanted to meet Queen Mother Rong to test her and make her reveal her true intentions. Maybe, she could find out some inside information.

There was a sound from outside, a eunuch's shrill voice came over, "Queen, please slow down and be careful of the steps under your feet."

Chu Yunxi stood up and walked out, kneeling behind the palace maids and eunuchs, and prostrating herself on the ground.

The eunuch guarding the gate saw her and said to Empress Dowager Rong, "Your Majesty, the people from the weaving workshop have sent a few more pieces of cloth. I hope you can take a look and see if you want to change them."

Queen Mother Rong looked a little tipsy, with rosy cheeks and hazy eyes. She said, "I am tired tonight. Let her put the cloth down. I will pick it again tomorrow."

The eunuch guarding the gate said to Chu Yunxi, "Did you hear what the Queen Mother said? Why don't you leave?"

Chu Yunxi thought of a solution in a hurry and said, "In reply to the Empress Dowager, the palace lady said that this is a piece of cloth from Dasui, and it is extremely precious. She ordered me to keep it safe and not to slack off. I heard that the noble ladies in the capital of Dasui all wear this kind of cloth. Otherwise, I will take the cloth away first and send it to the Empress Dowager for review tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Rong had originally been preparing to go back to her room to rest, but when she heard the words "noble lady from the marquis's family in the capital of Dasui", her steps gradually slowed down.

The eunuch guarding the gate said in a shrill voice: "How dare you, a mere maid from the weaving workshop, to contradict the words of the Empress Dowager? Are you tired of living?"

Chu Yunxi leaned forward without saying anything.

Empress Dowager Rong raised her hand to stop the eunuch guarding the gate, thought for a moment and said, "Bring the cloth here for me to see."

Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed again, stood up and brought over the two plates of cloth.

The gatekeeper eunuch escorted Empress Dowager Rong to the bedroom and came out. He happened to see Chu Yunxi carrying two trays of cloth. He asked curiously, "Aren't there two of you? Why are you alone?"

Chu Yunxi said, "He went back to report to the Shang Gong Lady. Wasn't the eunuch at the door when he left just now?"

The eunuch guarding the gate remembered that he had just gone to the toilet urgently. Could it be that the eunuch from the weaving workshop happened to be out at that time?

Thinking of this, he stopped dwelling on the matter, waved his hand to let Chu Yunxi in, and went back to the door.

Chu Yunxi entered the room. Calming incense was lit in the room, and the room was filled with smoke. Everything seemed a little unreal. Empress Dowager Rong was sitting beside the eight-immortal table, looking at Chu Yunxi quietly.

Chu Yunxi placed the cloth on the Eight Immortals Table and said, "Look, Queen Mother, these cloths are all from Dasui, and they are all top-quality materials."

Queen Mother Rong did not look at the cloth, but stared at Chu Yunxi's face and said to the maidservant beside her: "You go out first."

The maid left immediately. Chu Yunxi stared at Empress Dowager Rong without changing her expression. Empress Dowager Rong also looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Why have I never seen you in the palace?"

Chu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "There are many people in the palace, and the Queen Mother is busy with all kinds of affairs. It is normal that she has never seen me."

Queen Mother Rong poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly turned it in her hands, but she didn't drink it. She looked at Chu Yunxi with interest and said, "I wonder if you have asked about me in Kala City before entering the palace? Why can I write poems at the age of eight and top the imperial examination at the age of thirteen?"

Chu Yunxi frowned, not understanding what she meant.

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Queen Mother Rong laughed again and gave the answer herself, "Because I have a photographic memory!"

Chu Yunxi's forehead slowly began to sweat. She forced a smile and said, "The Queen Mother is gifted and intelligent. She is unmatched by ordinary people."

Queen Mother Rong took a sip of tea, put the cup down, stood up and poured another cup, placed it opposite, and said to Chu Yunxi: "Sit down and talk."

Chu Yunxi knew that she was probably exposed, so she stopped pretending and sat down opposite Empress Dowager Rong. She said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the seat."

Queen Mother Rong nodded and said, "It seems that he has a good upbringing. He has taught you and your brother very well. You all look very much like your father. I can recognize you at a glance."

Her words caused a storm in Chu Yunxi's heart. She stood up suddenly and asked, "Have you met my eldest brother?"

Queen Mother Rong was still smiling and said, "Little girl, don't worry. The night is long and we have plenty of time to chat. Now, let me ask you first, is your mother okay? Is she beautiful? Who is more beautiful than me?"

Chu Yunxi bit her lip. Queen Mother Rong asked this at this moment, obviously she didn't know that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had been confiscated and the family was exterminated. She really hadn't let go of her father in her heart, and until now she was still thinking about competing with her mother. She couldn't get an answer from her father, so she wanted to get news about her competitors from her.

"My mother is a gentle and lovely woman. She raised three children for my father and managed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion in an orderly manner. My father only had her in his life and never thought of taking a concubine, nor did he mention any other women."
