Xiao Conghui held Liu Qian down and said, "I'll be back soon."
He kissed Liu Xi on the forehead, then dressed and prepared to go out. Although his tone was gentle, he was very nervous in his heart. If it was not an important matter, the Queen would not have summoned him tonight.
His intuition told him that something big was going to happen, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
Xiao Conghui quickly recalled what happened and seemed to have some clues, but he couldn't believe it. He had been holding on to the fantasy during this period that if he did well enough and made great contributions, maybe Xiao Hanyi would let the queen go.
Liu Qian replied gently, "I'll go with you."
After saying that, she didn't forget to give Xiao Conghui a smile. Now she didn't know what to say and could only support him silently.
And she vaguely felt that something might happen.
......
Huiqing Palace was not far from Queen Wang's Pepper Room. Xiao Conghui walked fast, and in less than two quarters of an hour he was standing in front of Queen Wang.
The moment he saw Queen Wang, Xiao Conghui was shocked. Why was her face so pale?
"Queen Mother"
Xiao Conghui saluted.
Queen Wang motioned Xiao Conghui to stand up, "Biyun, you go out and serve. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
"yes"
Nanny Biyun withdrew.
Only Queen Wang and Xiao Conghui were left in the palace, and neither of them spoke for a while.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and their figures moved with the candlelight, creating a dull and depressing atmosphere.
Xiao Conghui was waiting for Queen Wang to speak.
After a long time, Queen Wang's face regained its motherly expression. "Today, I opened your childhood clothes and recalled many things about your childhood."
Queen Wang said this while motioning Xiao Conghui to sit down.
"I remember one night, there was thunder and lightning. I was worried about you. When I went to see you, your little body was hugging the quilt tightly, too scared to sleep." Queen Wang's thoughts went back to the past. "I asked you, why don't you come to my place?"
"You said, a man should be upright and dignified, how can he be afraid of a thunderstorm?"
When talking about Xiao Conghui's childhood, Queen Wang's eyes showed more pride.
If she had no children in her life, she might regret entering the palace.
But now that she has such an outstanding prince, she has no regrets.
Perhaps this is the voice of all mothers. They may regret other things, but their children are their hard work, and they will never regret bringing them into this world.
Xiao Conghui listened quietly, his mind racing. The Queen was acting very abnormally today, but on the way here just now, he asked Nanny Biyun what was wrong. Biyun just asked him to come quickly and didn't say another word.
Now the Queen is chatting about family matters again...
"Another time, two palace maids were cleaning the palace together and damaged a plum blossom painting. Neither of them admitted to it. Do you remember that you found the murderer with just one sentence?"
Queen Wang looked at Xiao Conghui.
Xiao Conghui nodded in agreement with Queen Wang's words, but in fact he couldn't remember when this happened.
Queen Wang continued, "You told them both that even though their faces were smeared with ink, they still refuse to admit it?"
At this point, she paused, then continued, "The maid immediately kowtowed and admitted her mistake, saying that she had accidentally broken it and was afraid of being punished so she didn't dare to speak up."
At that time she knew that her son was a rare talent, and he was only four years old!
Xiao Conghui nodded.
Next, Queen Wang talked about many things about Xiao Conghui's childhood. When they talked about the funny parts, she laughed along, but when they talked about him being sick or being scolded and punished by Xiao Hanyi, her brows furrowed.
It seemed like she asked Xiao Conghui to come just to chat.
Xiao Conghui listened quietly and occasionally gave the appropriate response.
Soon, an hour passed and tea was served four or five times, but Queen Wang still seemed unsatisfied. She looked out the window and saw that the night was no longer as dark as before. She could not see the horizon, but she knew that she could vaguely see light there.
"Oh, I'm tired after talking for so long. You can go back now," Queen Wang rubbed her sore shoulders.
I used to stay up late and the night was so long, why did tonight go by so quickly?
Forget it, their fate is over and they have to separate eventually. The future depends on him alone.
"Go call Liu Xi in, I have something to say to her."
Queen Wang knew that Liu Xi had also come.
Xiao Conghui replied "yes" and slowly left the inner hall. He saw Liu Qian at the door and said, "The Queen Mother asked you to come in."
......
"Meet the Queen Mother"
Liu Xi saluted.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she felt extremely uneasy. On her son's wedding night, a mother would call the young couple over to chat?
Queen Wang waved her hand to signal Liu Xi to come to her side. She took Liu Xi's hand and said, "I hand him over to you. From now on, you must think of everything before him... You must be virtuous and become the mother of the country in the future... You have a long way to go..."
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xi came out with beads of sweat on her forehead.
Her eyes met Xiao Conghui's, and something big was about to happen!
"Thank you, Aunt Biyun, for taking us out."
Liu Qian said to Biyun in a calm tone, showing no emotion.
......
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Xiao Conghui's eyes were extremely cold.
Biyun suddenly felt a pressure like a mountain falling down on her head. If she had done anything to offend Queen Wang, her legs would have probably gone weak with fear by now. Fortunately, she was in the same group with him.
Although Queen Wang repeatedly warned her not to say anything, she thought that if Xiao Conghui had a way, things might not have gotten that bad yet.
Next, Biyun told everything about Xiao Hanyi's visit to the Pepper Palace.
Xiao Conghui frowned and clenched Liu Qian's hand into a fist.
Liu Qian endured the pain. The emperor wanted to kill the queen?
