Chapter 167 Unintentional intervention(1/2)

When Xue Qingyin went to the Queen Mother's Palace, she was already feeling very tired.

The servants carrying rewards and boxes gradually started to form a team.

Walking in the palace, it is really eye-catching.

"Princess." The palace maid who followed the carriage handed her a handkerchief.

"Huh?" Xue Qingyin turned her head.

"Princess wipe your sweat."

Xue Qingyin lazily said: "What are you wiping? No wiping."

Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to the edge of her forehead. The lipstick was thickly applied and it was inevitable that it would become dry now, so that Xue Qingyin looked like that unshakable flower.

Really embarrassed.

To meet the Queen Mother, it would naturally seem a bit rude to behave like this.

But Xue Qingyin didn't care.

Arrived in front of the door.

Naturally, the palace people saw this procession: "But Princess Xuan?"

Xue Qingyin nodded wilfully and said: "I came to the palace today to express my gratitude, so I came to see the Queen Mother before I left the capital."

The palace people now don't know whether the child in Xue Qingyin's belly is safe, so how can they dare to neglect it?

He quickly turned around and reported.

Not long after, the palace maid Wanxia came to fetch her.

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and smiled: "I remember you, sister Wanxia, ​​right?"

Wanxia was a little embarrassed when she met Xue Qingyin.

After all, she had previously received orders from the Queen Mother and had gone out of the palace to make some arrangements and dig a hole for the Xu family.

Although the Queen Mother herself fell into the pit in the end.

"Yes... I'm a slave. I didn't expect the princess to still remember." Wanxia looked away.

"Well, at that palace banquet, you behaved appropriately and appropriately, which impressed me deeply." Xue Qingyin still smiled slightly.

Wanxia felt even more ashamed and buried her head lower.

Others in the Queen Mother's Palace looked at Xue Qingyin's figure and couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is such a stupid beauty...

Did she have no idea about the contempt and dissatisfaction towards her in the Queen Mother's Palace?

"Idiot Beauty" Xue Qingyin just stepped into the palace door.

The last time I met the Queen Mother was when she just entered Prince Xuan's Mansion. See you again today...

The wrinkles on the Queen Mother's face seemed to have increased overnight.

She leaned on her seat and stared coldly at Xue Qingyin's crown.

Then his eyes slid down and fell on the patterns embroidered on her clothes.

"Your Majesty is... willing to do so." The Queen Mother suppressed the sneer in her throat.

Xue Qingyin blinked slightly, pretending she didn't understand.

The Queen Mother's eyes soon fell on her belly again, and she immediately became much kinder and gentler.

It was so gentle that it even made Xue Qingyin a little creepy.

If you don’t know, you still think there is your cub in here...

"How is the Ai family's grandson?" the Queen Mother asked.

Xue Qingyin's heart is still empty.

The person who answered the Queen Mother's words was Wu Shaojian, who said: "The imperial doctor said, you must take good care of her."

The Queen Mother did not let go of her worries after hearing this: "If there is poison in the fetus, I'm afraid..."

Having said this, the Queen Mother became even more dissatisfied with Xue Qingyin.

Isn’t Xue Qingyin herself a person with poison in her womb?

Why are you carrying one person and passing it on to another?

"What does the Queen Mother mean..." Wu Shaojian asked aloud.

Naturally, the Queen Mother hoped that King Xuan would have a few more children, and it would be best if they were all pregnant. Isn’t that better than this?

But she must not say this right now.

"The Ai family only hopes that Princess Xuan's pregnancy will be safe," the Queen Mother said in a low voice.

After learning that Xue Qingyin was poisoned, the Queen Mother was tortured to the point where she could not sleep for several days.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she asked: "When will we go to the fiefdom?"

"We will set off soon." Xue Qingyin replied.

The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly: "Why didn't the Emperor consider whether Princess Xuan's body could bear it?"

Xue Qingyin timidly said: "Your Highness... Your Highness wants to take me away as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead and stopped talking for a moment.

"This makes him very sad... whatever." The Queen Mother thought that there would be more children in the future.

Wouldn't it be better to go to a fiefdom and escape from the emperor's control?

There is no need to be wary of the emperor's attacks.

The Queen Mother then managed to force out a smile: "Okay, then you go."

Xue Qingyin's buttocks sat firmly there without getting up.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but take another look at her, and noticed that she looked embarrassed and looked even more fragile as she sat in a chair.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to accompany your Highness to the fiefdom?" The Queen Mother frowned.

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "I just feel sorry for Your Highness, and...I don't know who to tell."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly felt happy.

Apparently King Xuan told her something... that the Queen Mother was the closest and most trustworthy person?

"The Ai family also feels sorry for him..." At this point, the Queen Mother felt that her heart was about to break.

She pondered for a moment and said: "Go to the Ai family's private treasury and get some gold and silver..."

She originally wanted to write an edict of Feng Yi, ordering the emperor to double the reward, so that they would have no worries on the road.

Naihe planned the Xu family's selling of official positions, which caused her to become estranged from the emperor recently. The emperor deprived her of her rights overtly and covertly, and handed them over to the idiot Concubine Dong Xian!

Since she could not issue an edict to the emperor... the Queen Mother was reluctant to let King Xuan suffer.

She frowned and said, "Bring me some paper and pen again. The Ai family wants to write a warrant."

The Queen Mother's hands were already shaking a little, but she still insisted on finishing writing the warrant.

Then he raised his head, not shying away from Shaojian Wu, and said: "You go from Jialing Road to Hanzhong and pass by Xingzhou. When you get to Xingzhou, stay for two days... There is a man in Xingzhou named Qian Zixu. He owes me my condolences.

Take the eight hundred thousand taels of silver from his hands and take them to Yizhou."

Xue Qingyin:?

Is this asking us to collect the debt ourselves?

When it arrives, it will be ours.

If you don’t have it, it’s all in vain?

Who in this world dares to owe money to the royal family?

Presumably this Qian Zixu is not an ordinary person.

But eight hundred thousand taels is indeed not a small amount.

There is a saying that is so ironic: "Three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver."

This does not mean that officials are truly honest, but that officials who claim to be honest are also squeezing people's wealth and support, so in just three years, they can accumulate a net worth of 100,000.

Although the dynasties are different and the price of silver is also different, the difference is generally not too big.

For eight hundred thousand taels, even a corrupt official would have to work hard for twenty years.

Xue Qingyin secretly smacked her lips, this is really... If you say the Queen Mother is generous, then she is really picky. If you say she is picky, it can be regarded as a great good deed.

If she didn't get the eight hundred thousand... Xue Qingyin felt that every time she dreamed about it at midnight in the next few decades, she would regret slapping herself in the face.

Xue Qingyin took the warrant and left.

The Queen Mother also knew that she was in poor health and did not dare to keep her.

But when she was leaving, she asked someone to bring her some more ginseng.
