Chapter 391: Queen, Cat, Cui Family
Not to mention the Cui family, even Qi Wen and Qi Min, the grandfather and grandson.
Even Maomao and Xiangluo didn't expect that the Empress would come.
After Cui Yan glanced at Cui Yu, he looked at Maomao.
And at this time.
Everyone saw a group of people walking towards the lobby.
but.
The moment they saw Su Changan, everyone's expressions were shocked again.
because
I also saw the emperor!
There is no time to think about other unnecessary things!
I saw everyone in the lobby hurriedly walking out of the lobby.
"Your Majesty, your servant, pays homage to the Queen!" After all, Cui Yu was in the yard. When he saw the two of them, he saluted immediately. Cui Yuer, Cui Zheng and others around him followed suit immediately.
The others did not dare to be negligent and all bowed and saluted.
Even Cui Yan and Qi Wen, two veteran ministers who had served in three dynasties, saluted respectfully.
But everyone was surprised, because why did the emperor and the queen come together?
Could it be that he knew that Maomao came to Cui’s house today, so he came here specially to support her?
Not really.
These are the Emperor and the Empress. Would they come specially to support the medical officer?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the Queen.
Then
A scene that surprised everyone appeared again!
I saw the Queen grabbing the cat's head with one hand and lifting it up!
Here, the cat grabbed the Queen's hands with both hands, trying to break free, with a look of pain on his face, dancing and shouting, "It hurts~~It hurts~~It hurts~~"
Su Changan looked at the cat and said coldly, "Just bear with it!"
Xiangluo looked at Maomao and then at the Queen, and finally chose to stand behind Lian Wei. It was better to just forget it and say nothing.
Su Changan brought the cat in front of him and said, "It turns out that I've been too nice to you recently, so you dare to say such things, right?"
Maomao grabbed Su Changan's hands with both hands and looked at Su Changan straight. She didn't know what Su Changan meant, because she had said so many of Su Changan's words that she didn't know which one he was talking about!
but.
It hurts!
It hurts so much now!
So Maomao looked at Su Changan with an unconvinced look on his face, and even wanted to get rid of Su Changan's clutches!
It was as if a pair of cat ears had grown on his head, which kept shaking, and there was also a cat's tail behind him, which kept swinging, and his body was twisting and turning.
Everyone was looking at the mao mao in the empress's hands. This little girl didn't look like she was confronting old man from the Cui family head-on just now!
Just like a kitten that has been caught doing something wrong!
Looking at the Queen, she looked at Maomao and said, "Go back and explain to me what you said to me!"
Having said this, Su Changan let go of his hand.
But everyone present gasped when they heard this.
Good fellow, the cat actually dared to scold the queen! ?
Thinking about this and what this person had just said to Cui Yan, everyone seemed to understand why this girl was so tough.
but.
What also surprised everyone was that the queen had no intention of punishing the cat. She even looked at the cat and was about to reach out to rub the cat's head.
But here's the cat.
But his ears suddenly stood up, and even his eyes seemed to be erected, and he immediately dodged the Queen's hand!
He even squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands and rubbing it hard, puffing up his cheeks and looking at the Queen with an unhappy face, and as long as Su Changan got closer, he would immediately get angry.
Su Changan saw it and smiled helplessly.
Everyone gasped again when they saw the queen smile.
Even the emperor on the side just watched the scene with a smile, without any movement.
Just like.
It's like I'm used to this kind of thing.
Except for Cui Yuer, everyone else watching this scene didn't know what to say.
I've heard that the Empress dotes on her medical officer, Cat, but to this extent?! Even the Emperor doesn't care about her at all?
but
When Cui Yuer saw the cat like this, she bit her lower lip and wanted to go up and rub it a few times, mainly because it was so cute!
Cui Yu's expression didn't change at all. He just glanced at his father and sighed when he thought about what had just happened.
And it wasn't just Cui Yu, Cui Zheng and Cui Buning on the side also looked at Cui Yan.
The Queen dotes on Qingnv so much.
And he treated Qingnv like this when he first came in, as if he was showing it to others.
And just now the old man had some small disputes with the cat
Except for Cui Yuer and Cui Yan, all the other members of the Cui family frowned and looked worried.
On the other hand, Qi Wen looked at the cat deeply and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please enter the hall." Cui Yan stood up at this time and spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately made way.
However, Xia Fengxiang said, "We won't go in. The Queen and I are just here to look for Maomao. We have nothing to do with you. Besides, it's a day off, so we won't be working."
After saying that, Xia Fengxiang looked at Qi Wen and Qi Min, especially when he saw the slap mark on Qi Min's face. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed what Qi Wen was doing here. He smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that you, Qi Wen, are here too."
When Su Changan heard Qi Wen's name, he couldn't help but look at the old man, and even more at Qi Min.
Are the Qi family members in Cui’s house?
Su Changan looked at Cui Yuer.
When Cui Yuer saw Su Changan looking at her, she immediately said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Madam, Lord Qi has brought Qi Min to apologize for making up rumors and damaging my reputation."
Qi Wen said, "I, the old minister, failed to discipline him properly. By the time I realized it, it was already too late. That's why I brought Qi Min here today to apologize."
Hearing this, Su Changan suddenly realized something, then turned his head to look at Cui Yuer, and found that Cui Yuer looked disgusted.
I have to say, you are really sisters!
The expression of hating people is exactly the same as that of cats!
But I also understand it, because when I heard Cui Yuer talking about this in Qingquan Town before, Cui Yuer showed her extreme disgust for this person named Qi Min.
The reason why I ran to Qingquan Palace was to avoid Qi Min.
Su Changan turned around and looked at Qi Min, and saw two slaps on the face. It looked like they were not hit by Cui Yuer, but no matter who hit her, it looked pretty terrible.
When Qi Min saw the Queen looking at her, she lowered her head and looked at the ground, not knowing what to do.
It was originally agreed that Qi Wen would bring him here to apologize today.
But when he arrived, he didn't expect his grandfather to beat him directly.
That's it!
A cat suddenly appeared, and someone actually put poison in my grandfather's sachet!
Qi Min hasn't figured out these things yet, the Emperor and the Empress suddenly arrived!
and
At this moment, the Queen was still looking at him!
When he was in the mansion thinking about how to continue pursuing Cui Yuer, it was Deputy Commander Yan Ruyuyan who came in person with the Queen's oral instructions.
This simple sentence made Qi Min dumbfounded at the time.
Because I never expected that Cui Yuer could actually invite the Queen!
and
Deputy Commander Yan said to him meaningfully at that time, "Sir Qi Min, please take care of yourself."
At that time, the incident with Qi Liang also happened, which made Qi Min scared, especially when she saw how Qi Liang looked after he returned home. This made Qi Min unable to sleep well for several nights and she was always very uneasy.
Even if pursuing Cui Yuer was not his original intention, it was his grandfather who asked him to do so, and the reason was naturally the reason that the outside world said that the Qi family was tied to the Cui family, but the Empress gave a verbal order, which made Qi Min scared. Even though his grandfather told him not to worry, he was still afraid!
Now!
Seeing the empress looking at him, he even smiled.
Qi Min couldn't help but swallow his saliva, raised his eyes slightly, and saw that the queen was still looking at him, which made him even more panicked.
When she looked away, she saw that the emperor was also looking at her, and he was smiling too!
Why are you looking at me and laughing?
Don't look at me and smile!!
Qi Min pursed her lips, very panicked! Very panicked!
And for some reason, the miserable state of Qi Liang appeared in his mind, and his body couldn't help but shake.
Qi Wen saw his grandson like this, and looked at Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan who were about to say something.
Qi Min said, "Your Majesty, I was careless before and caused a disaster. It is really my fault. I came here today to apologize and brought many gifts to Yu'er and Miss Yu'er. I only hope that Miss Yu'er can forgive me."
Gift?
When Qi Min said this, Cui Yuer was stunned for a moment, and the other members of the Cui family were also stunned.
Because I didn't see these two people bringing anything, they only brought a small jade pendant, and that was brought by Qi Wen.
Qi Min seemed to know something and continued, "Because there are a lot of things, I will have someone deliver them tomorrow."
Everyone in the Cui family looked at Qi Min with surprise.
When Su Changan heard this, he looked at Qi Min and thought that his attitude was quite sincere.
but.
Qi Min looked at the Queen and saw that she was still looking at him, but she didn't say anything. She wondered if there were too few things, so she thought for a moment and said, "There are more."
Thinking of this, Qi Min was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.
Qi Wen, however, smiled in his heart after looking at his grandson's back, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, Madam, Qi Min's mistake is indeed serious, but it is naturally impossible to give him some ordinary things. I have heard these days that Mr. Cui and Mu Jijiu plan to build an enlightenment school next to the medical school that Madam wants to build, so Qi Min wants to donate some money to the Cui family and donate the enlightenment school in Yu'er's name as compensation. I wanted to tell Lord Cui about this, but many things happened just now, and I haven't had time to say it. Now that Your Majesty and Madam are here, it's just right to tell you about this in front of you two, and I also want to ask Madam to forgive Qi Min's ignorance and confusion."
When Qi Min heard what his grandfather said, he couldn't help but turn around and look at his grandfather.
But he saw his grandfather looking at him expressionlessly.
Qi Min understood immediately and said, "I have this plan."
Cui Yuer looked at Qi Wen and Qi Min in confusion.
And it wasn't just her, Cui Yu and the others all looked confused.
Cui Yan, on the other hand, saw through Qi Wen's expression and said, "In that case, I have to thank Master Qi for his help. Mu Jijiu and I were also worried about the money issue before."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Qi Wen and smiled, but didn't say much.
Su Changan smiled and said, "You still have to talk to Yu'er about this."
Although Cui Yuer felt strange, how could she refuse money given to her for free?
So he said, "Thank you very much, Grandpa Qi."
Qi Wen smiled slightly: "It should be."
Qi Min on the side pursed his lips and dared not speak, because he knew that this was another huge sum of money!
but.
I also know that there is nothing we can do about it!
However, Su Changan felt helpless when he looked at Qi Wen. Qi Wen had donated money to the medical school before because of Qi Liang, and now he was donating money to build a school because of Qi Min.
This is to pay off the debt to my grandchildren!
Thinking of this, Su Changan stopped thinking about it and looked at Maomao: "Are you done with everything?"
Maomao heard it and nodded: "Yes. Both."
Just as she opened her mouth, Maomao suddenly thought of the poison.
If it was just Qi Wen who was poisoned, Maomao would have told Xia Fengxiang after the meeting.
But since the poison is the same as the one given to Su Changan before, it is necessary to tell it now.
So when Maomao spoke, he immediately came close to Xia Fengxiang and whispered something.
Xia Fengxiang heard it and looked at Maomao: "Are you sure?"
The cat nodded.
Xia Fengxiang's expression immediately became serious, and he looked at the sachet that was on the table and had not been put away yet.
Qi Wen noticed the emperor's gaze and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something else to ask."
Qi Wen continued, "Someone tampered with the sachet I was carrying. Thanks to Master Mao Mao's knowledge of pharmacology, he discovered it in time, so I was lucky enough not to be harmed by the bad guys. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will investigate it thoroughly later."
Xia Fengxiang's eyes flickered. She didn't care whether Qi Wen was dead or alive, but were they the same people who poisoned Su Changan?
Su Changan was poisoned on the first day he arrived at the Su Mansion.
Thanks to the cat for finding it, otherwise something really bad would have happened!
Because of this matter, Xia Fengxiang even scolded Su Wenqing.
However, the person who poisoned the food was later found out, and the result is self-evident.
But now people are showing up using the same poison.
Then Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but take it seriously.
Therefore, Xia Fengxiang looked at Qi Wen and said, "Master Qi, are you okay?"
Qi Wen immediately said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. Thanks to Master Mao Mao for finding it in time."
Xia Fengxiang looked calm: "Then you should reward Maomao handsomely. But Master Qi is the backbone of our Great Xia, I can't just turn a blind eye to it. I will send someone to investigate this matter later, Master Qi, just cooperate."
Qi Wen was stunned, mainly because he didn't expect the emperor to send someone to investigate personally. But after a moment of doubt, he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything, just glanced at the sachet, then looked at Qi Wen, as if thinking about something, but there was already a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Qi Wen noticed the change in the emperor's expression, but he lowered his head and said nothing.
The emperor personally sent people to investigate the poisoning?
Qi Wen doesn’t think that the emperor really values him so much!
But since His Majesty has said this, it means that he really intends to send someone to investigate, and he is even going to kill.
This is a bit intriguing.
Thinking of this, Qi Wen looked at the cat again. What did this little girl say to His Majesty just now?
Su Changan listened to this simple conversation and glanced at Xia Fengxiang, but didn't ask any more questions.
Since Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything here, it meant that he couldn't say it. Su Changan was not a person without understanding, so he naturally wouldn't ask more questions. Anyway, his wife would definitely tell him later.
But I just feel that there are so many things to do during this trip to Cui’s house!
I met Qi Wen again, and Qi Wen was poisoned or something.
But he was too lazy to think about it and just looked at the cat.
The cat is also smart. It looked at Su Changan and answered the question just now: "It's all done. You can go now."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang looked indifferent. She was originally tricked by Su Changan into coming here. Although she had some unexpected gains, there was no need for her to stay here any longer.
Besides, she is very concerned about the poison issue now.
Because if the same poison was used, then it means that they were the same group of people who poisoned Su Changan. Xia Fengxiang cares a lot about anything involving Su Changan!
People around heard the simple conversation between the empress and the cat.
Already knew this was going to go.
But it's a bit surprising
After all, you're leaving just now?
It's less than an incense stick of time and he's about to leave. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine.
But these are the emperor and the queen.
So free?
In other words, he is not idle at all, but is here to support the cat.
Or again.
What is the purpose?
The public didn't know, and it wasn't that they thought too much about it. Since it involved the Emperor's will, they couldn't help but think about it.
but
Just when everyone was thinking this.
Cui Yan came out and bowed respectfully to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, then said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please allow me to have a private chat with Qing and Maomao."
Although Cui Yan no longer holds an official position, he still holds the title of Duke of Qing, so it is okay for him to call himself an old minister.
only
When Cui Yan said this, Cui Yu stood up and said, "Dad!!"
Cui Yan looked at Cui Yu: "Some things always have to have a result."
Cui Yu frowned, but looking at his father, Cui Yu immediately said: "Father, you shouldn't talk to Qingnv!!"
Cui Yan looked at Cui Yu.
but
Maomao looked at the two of them, but said directly with a blank expression: "Please don't make a decision on your own. I don't plan to chat with any of you. And I just said, don't bother the Queen about this matter again."
After saying that, he looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, and his meaning was very clear: let’s go!
Su Changan looked back at Cui Yu and Cui Yan.
Thinking about the letters that Cui Yan had been sending in these days, Su Changan didn't read the contents of many of the letters.
But there were also some memorials that Su Changan still read.
Although it didn't explain what was going on, Cui Yan always wanted to have a chat with Maomao.
Su Changan sighed and looked at Maomao: "How about we chat?"
Upon hearing this, Maomao looked at Su Changan.
Just to say something.
Su Changan looked at Maomao and said, "Say what you need to say, and there will be no trouble in the future. Otherwise, it will be impossible to end it."
The cat frowned.
Su Changan put his hand on the cat's head: "I'm here."
Maomao was stunned for a moment, lowered his head to think for a while, then looked at Su Changan: "No!"
Hearing Maomao's answer, Su Changan smiled helplessly, then looked at Cui Yan, Cui Yu and others.
Cui Yan frowned.
Cui Yu seemed to be relieved.
Maomao looked at Cui Yan: "There's nothing to talk about anyway, so it's best if we don't interfere with each other."
After saying that, he turned around and helped take some things from Xiangluo, then looked at Su Changan and said, "I bought you some food, but it should be cold by now."
Su Changan frowned immediately when he heard this. This was a big deal!
He immediately looked at Cui Yan and others and said something, then walked out of the mansion with Xia Fengxiang and others.
Although I don't know why His Majesty and the Queen came here so suddenly and left like this.
But they sent these two great nobles away with great respect.
Standing at the door and looking at the two figures' backs, everyone in the Cui family had a gloomy look on their faces.
What happened between the grandfather and grandson of the Qi family has nothing to do with them, no matter what it is.
But today, Maomao came to the Cui family, and what happened to Cui Yan and Cui Yu was really not what the Cui family wanted to see.
because
In the entire Cui family, the relationship between Cui Yan and Cui Yu is the most delicate.
After His Majesty and the Queen left, Qi Wen and Qi Min also said goodbye and left. Before leaving, they said that the apology would be sent immediately and then left.
After these two left, Cui Zheng, Cui Yuer and Cui Buning began to worry.
Because I was afraid that the old man would quarrel with Cui Yu.
but.
What everyone didn't expect was that the two of them went back to their respective yards without saying a word.
This made everyone feel relieved.
Cui Yuer, on the other hand, was sitting in the lobby, putting away the "Song of Water Melody" written by the empress herself to show off to Qi Wen.
But after thinking about it, he looked at Cui Buning and said, "Bu Ning."
Cui Buning looked at Cui Yuer and saluted: "Elder sister."
Cui Yuer asked with a smile: "Is my sister cute?"
Cui Buning was stunned for a moment.
Cui Yuer raised her lips and said, "Remember, from now on, you should think that Qingnv is the cutest."
At this point, Cui Yuer pursed her lips and said, "I should have rushed over to hug her just now, but unfortunately I was busy grabbing her hand. But that little hand was so soft~~ so tender~~ I should have kissed it while I was in chaos."
Cui Buning looked at Cui Yuer like this and felt a little embarrassed: "Elder sister."
Cui Yuer looked at Cui Buning.
Cui Buning thought for a moment and said, "Sister Qingnu is at home."
Cui Buning hadn't finished talking when Cui Yuer interrupted her, "The affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with us. You just need to remember that she is our sister. Even if the sky falls, she is still our sister. Whether she recognizes us or not is not important."
Cui Buning was even more helpless, but still nodded: "Yes."
Cui Yuer looked at Cui Buning and thought for a moment before adding, "Also, next time we meet, if you have anything good, send it to him right away. If you don't have anything good, go buy it and find it right away! Otherwise, I'll punish you!"
At the end, Cui Yuer's eyes widened.
Cui Buning curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
Because of that sister's identity, not to mention her official position, even the Empress dotes on her so much, how could she be interested in my good things?
But looking at Cui Yuer, Cui Buning still nodded.
Cui Yuer smiled with satisfaction and continued to pack her things. However, when she thought about the looks of Qi Wen and Qi Min after the Empress came just now, Cui Yuer found it funny.
What kind of person is this? Really!
but.
Thinking of her uncle, Cui Yuer couldn't help but look towards Cui Yu's yard and sighed involuntarily.
Uncle, are you going to look at those things again?
Cui Yuer thought so.
Cui Yu returned to his yard, but did not go directly back to the study. Instead, he came to a room that had been carefully tidied up.
There was nothing luxurious in the house, but once you entered the house, you could see medicinal specimens everywhere, all of which were carefully made by Cui Yu himself.
There are also various medical books that Cui Yu collected from various places.
And this is the room that Cui Yu made for the cat.
Although Cui Yu knew that his daughter would never be able to live here in her lifetime, it was just a wish he made for himself.
After entering the room, Cui Yu walked to the cabinet and took out a box from it.
There was no dust on the box because Cui Yu would open it every now and then to check.
Gently opening the box, there was nothing exquisite inside, but rather it was full of strange and bizarre 'junk'!
One could even say there are some pretty disgusting junks.
Things like dried toad bodies, gecko corpses, dried herbs, and rotten and uneaten candied haws.
but
Looking at these, Cui Yu felt as if he was looking at the most important treasure in the world. He did not dare to touch them for fear of breaking them.
No other reason
For example, this toad is the one that the cat was playing with when he first saw the cat.
The cat was only three years old at that time.
When he saw her, he recognized at first sight that this was his daughter, the one he had been looking for for three years.
After all, at first glance, there was only that little girl who made him unable to figure out how to describe her in all the books he had read.
Although the cat was only three years old at the time, he was feeding the toad a strange potion.
Cui Yu's appearance also scared Maomao.
But the moment he found his daughter, Cui Yu was happier than ever and even cried.
After that, he started to look for his daughter again and again, and collect things related to his daughter again and again.
Then
Every time I miss her, I look at these things left over from every encounter with my daughter.
Looking at the unfinished candied haws, Cui Yu smiled with relief.
This was when he pretended to be a candied haws seller and ran towards his daughter. When he was recognized, his daughter threw away the food she hadn't eaten and ran away, so he picked it up.
Thanks
No chat.
Cui Yu secretly felt lucky when he thought that Maomao would agree to talk to him in detail.
Cui Yu's story is actually the story of a cowardly scholar, a cowardly scholar who cannot protect the woman he loves and cannot even live with his daughter.
It’s never as powerful as people say in the market.
Although there was no murder of a woman, it was not a good story after all, and all the fault was on him.
Cui Yu was already thankful that he could find his daughter.
Although I did think about taking my daughter to live with me at the beginning.
But seeing his daughter living a smiling life in that dance troupe, he finally gave up.
What is the Cui family?
Is it important?
Your own daughter should live comfortably and happily.
Even though she lives in a dance troupe, as long as she is happy, Cui Yu will choose to protect her with all his might.
so.
He refused to let his father communicate with his daughter because his father just wanted to take the cat back.
Although his father was not a bad guy as described in the stories, it was unforgivable that he forced his woman away just for the Cui family. And it was even more unforgivable that he was powerless at the time.
Can.
Cui Yu thinks that it is enough to keep it as it is now.
Even though I never get a good response from my daughter and even though I am always disliked by her.
but.
Seeing my daughter smile happily is enough.
Therefore, it was fortunate that they didn’t talk about it, otherwise he wouldn’t know what to say, and he would be even more afraid of saying the wrong thing and losing the current relationship.
As for the others.
Cui Yu didn't dare to ask for too much.
Because of the fear of total loss.
so.
That's all.
Maintain the status quo.
This is Cui Yu’s only wish.
Think of this
Cui Yu closed the box, then slumped in the chair, looking at the roof, thinking about how serious his daughter's condition was today.
Especially when I think of the way he squatted on the ground after being released by the Queen.
“Hey~~Hey hey hey~~~”
Cui Yu gave a strange smile.
