Zuo Daoqi didn't know that Concubine Wan Gui had been cheated on.

He was currently racking his brains to think of how to talk to the Eighth Prince in front of him.

"I received a message from the Ninth Prince. There is a traitor hiding behind the Queen Mother, who is trying to harm the Queen Mother. Please be aware of it, the Eighth Prince."

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out how to attract Zi Gudao's attention, so he simply said the script he had seen before. No matter how crazy Zi Gudao is about swords, from the fact that he named him with his mother's surname, it can be seen that he still cares about his mother.

Have feelings.

How could the Queen Mother, who was the same as her mother, attract his attention?

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince still had no reaction.

Zuo Daoqi waited for five minutes, until he could no longer stand the depressing atmosphere and the cold sword intent, and was about to turn around and leave.

This guy is an ice cube!

He said secretly in his heart.

"Thank you Ninth Prince for me."

Just when Zuo Daoqi was thinking about whether it was better to step forward with the left foot or the right foot first for the arch of Ningdan Garden, a stream of light flew out from Zi Gudao, fell into Zuo Daoqi's hand, and then disappeared.

Zuo Daoqi didn't care what it was, a smile instantly broke out on his face, he turned around and clasped his fists respectfully, "I'll tell you, little one."

No more response.

Zuo Daoqi didn't care either. To ordinary people, that sentence was naturally perfunctory.

But for a person like Zi Gudao, these words represent his promise.

This shows that he accepted the love, even though in name, he accepted the love of the Ninth Prince.

Zuo Dodge walked outside with cheerful steps.

As long as the Eighth Prince resolves this matter for the Queen Mother and gets into the eyes of the Queen Mother, then it is just a matter of a word from the Queen Mother to gain power in the cold palace.

He admitted that saying this was a bit of a gamble, and so far, he seemed to have made the right bet!

Looking down at the small sword tattoo on the palm of his hand, Zuo Daoqi felt satisfied.

As for taking away the opportunity of Zi Gu Dao...

Well, the Eighth Prince already looks so strong. He is the man behind the empress, so he should invest in himself.

The Eighth Prince was able to live in the cold palace as an adult prince, instead of being under house arrest in the clan's mansion like other deposed princes. I don't know if the late emperor knew that the Eighth Prince was so powerful now.

Generally speaking, the Cold Palace only takes underage princes and princesses who have abandoned their concubines. After the princes and princesses reach adulthood, they should go to the clan mansion.

After all, he is still the emperor's cub. As long as he can reach adulthood, he is also a member of the clan.

It's just the treatment you get when you go to the clan mansion...

emmm...the annual burial expenses of the clan mansion constitute a large part of the budget.

The buildings in the Cold Palace all have eaves and brackets, withered beams and painted pillars. Under the red walls on both sides, there are clusters of flowers and green trees. Occasionally, a tall jujube or pear tree from another garden pokes out of the wall.

But it was all lonely, and there was no one else on the entire avenue except Zuo Dodge.

Tonight, I will go swimming in the lake and look for the treasure from the past!

…

Queen Mother Zi touched Wan Linglong's body, causing the shyness that had just faded to creep out of her face again.

Wan Linglong glanced at her with some resentment, but she fully recognized the poor person in her words.

After she entered this harem, even if she was relegated to the cold palace and never saw the light of day, she would still have her daughter Ji Lingshu by her side.

Where is the Queen Mother Zi?

The late emperor was already very old when he entered the palace at the age of sixteen. Emperor Yuanji, who was still the prince at the time, fell in love with him at first sight. The late emperor was so old and dim that he believed that the Empress Dowager Zi would definitely suffer from cholera and Mingjun, so he forcibly accepted the Empress Dowager Zi as his queen before his death, out of the principles of human ethics.

Emperor Yuanji's thoughts about Empress Dowager Zi were completely overturned.

The Queen Mother Zi has been a widow for fifteen years, which is even more pitiful than herself.

Until now, I am still a virgin.

Raised in a deep palace with no one asking about her, the Queen Mother's bad character does have some explanations.

Wan Linglong couldn't help but press Queen Mother Zi's head on her chest.

She is such a very tolerant person with overflowing motherly love.

The Queen Mother Zi arched her mouth, as if aware of Wan Linglong's surge of emotions, and said nothing more.

The relationship between the two is very complicated. When Wan Linglong gained power, the two were incompatible. After Wan Linglong entered the cold palace, the Queen Mother came to the cold palace specifically to bully Wan Linglong in the name of the Eighth Prince...

"The Ai family has left. Wan Linglong, please take good care of Lingshu."

Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips and said nothing.

Needless to say, Ji Lingshu was everything to her. How could she bear to let Ji Lingshu suffer?

The palace maids and eunuchs who died in Xuemei Garden did not die because they were disrespectful to her, but because they bullied Ji Lingshu!

When Zuo Daoqi came back, the Queen Mother had already left, and Ji Lingshu also hid the meat sent by the Queen Mother. Everything was no different from when he left.

Ji Lingshu was squatting in the yard, holding a bunch of bamboo sticks in her hand, not knowing what she was stabbing.

He quietly approached and saw Ji Lingshu squatting on the ground, pricking ants on the ground with bamboo sticks. He was about to speak, but he heard her mouth muttering, "Mother is mine! Anyone who bullies mother

All will die!"

Zuo Dodge was stunned for a moment. There seems to be something wrong with this guy, right?

A girl with severe Oedipus?

Ji Lingshu seemed to notice someone behind him. He stood up and saw Zuo Daoqi. His face was gloomy, and his expression was not as simple as before. Instead, it was unusually calm, mixed with chills. "You heard everything, right?"

A smile appeared on Zuo Daoqi's face, and when he was scolded by a little girl, he felt a little scared in his heart. He didn't know whether he was afraid of her future achievements or because he felt that his thoughts were being read through by her.

"I'm asking you, did you hear me?"

He didn't know the other side of Ji Lingshu, so he just smiled dryly and said, "Didn't...didn't hear it."

Ji Lingshu's face softened a little, she stood up and walked to him, and in a thin voice, with warmth, she whispered in his ear, "Eunuch Zuo, you are a good father-in-law, I don't want to include you in the list.

."

After saying that, he ignored Zuo Dodge and ran away.

Left Dodge stood there in disarray.

Obviously, this side of Ji Lingshu made him feel strange.

Such a yandere empress seems to be more interesting when she is trained...

He naturally knew who the most important person in Xuemei Garden was. As soon as Ji Lingshu left, he went straight upstairs to pay his respects to Concubine Wan Gui.

I opened the door naturally and was a little surprised by the smell in the room.

It seems to be that smell, but not unpleasant.

Zuo Dodge couldn't help but sniff it.

Concubine Wan Gui, who was sitting in front of the window and staring at the lake view, came to her senses the moment he pushed open the door and walked in. She turned around just in time to see him stretching his nose and sniffing something, and she instantly felt shy again on her face.

"Dalu, why don't you knock on the door when you come in?"

Zuo Daoqi gained a lot from the Eighth Prince today and wanted to share it with the noble concubine, but he forgot about it for the moment.

But a good eunuch must learn to change the subject at all times.

After looking at the imperial concubine carefully, he quickly stepped forward and said with concern, "Mother, why are you looking so red?"

As he spoke, he naturally touched her forehead with one hand, "Is it possible that you caught a cold?"

The imperial concubine's eyes glanced at her hand in panic, and her heart was even more disturbed. She pressed down his slender eunuch's hand and said, "I...I'm fine."

Zuo Daoqi pressed down her hand again in a slightly domineering manner, "You said it was okay, but you were a little confused when you spoke. Could it be that you have burned the lake, right?"

He touched her forehead and it didn't feel too hot, so he touched her cheek again.

The delicate skin was like silk, which made Zuo Daoqi want to stop, but he didn't dare to be rude. He touched it and put it down.

Seems like nothing is really wrong?

"My dear, you have to take good care of yourself. I still want to take care of you until the end of my life."

On the third day after entering the palace, Zuo Daoqi was selected to be the prince's companion. He had never done heavy work for a day, and his hands were well maintained.

Being brushed by his palm, Concubine Wan Gui's heart trembled as she thought about what happened with Queen Mother Zi today.

Especially since she has a weak temperament, Zuo Daoqi's slightly tough tone made her feel strange.

After hearing Zuo Daoqi's words, I wanted to scold Zuo Daoqi for being rude in breaking in, but I couldn't.

Xiaoluzi cares about himself.
