Chapter 413 I think I've seen it somewhere
Bu Ruo coughed lightly and asked, "Who is the Queen looking for?"
The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bu Ruo and the other two. Her legs instantly went weak. She took two steps back, slumped down in her chair in an unruly manner, and waved away the palace maids and guards.
"Who else can I look for? I'm looking for you guys."
The queen has completely let herself go since her talk with Guo Lu, and all the temperament she had endured for many years has been exposed.
"Look at you guys, there's an assassin in the palace and you're still running around. What if you get hurt?"
"Just as I went to bed, I heard that an assassin had entered the palace and was killing people everywhere. He didn't even comb his hair, just put on his outer robe and came here with his guards. After arriving at Mingyang Palace and killing the assassin, he couldn't find the three of you. I thought you were captured by the assassin."
"This frightened me so much that I lost half my soul and my legs went weak."
"Hey? Is that... a Dongzhu, the little princess? Dongzhu this big is truly rare, but...why does it look so familiar to me? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
Guo Lu walked over and combed the queen's hair while saying, "Your Majesty, you've seen it before. It's the one above the Ninghe Palace. The little princess liked it, so the princess picked it off."
The queen was startled and then burst into laughter.
"So it's that one, or it could be the princess. Even the palace guards can't easily climb up to such a high roof, let alone pull this pearl off."
"Hmm? Lu'er, are you saying that you went to Ninghe Palace just now?"
Guo Lu nodded: "Yes, the princess said she would take us to see the fun."
The Queen's eyes gleamed with gossip: "Princess, come, sit down quickly, and tell me what you did in Ninghe Palace besides digging for the Dongzhu."
"Next time something like this happens, can you take me with you? I know this kind of thing usually happens at night. It's okay. With your ability as a princess, it should be easy for you to get in and out of Fengyi Palace. Just wake me up."
Bu Ruo sighed. This woman, there is probably no one who doesn't love gossip.
Seeing Bu Ruo sitting there smiling and looking at her queen without blushing, she said: "I have always been like this, but I am no longer willing to marry the right person. You just have to get used to it."
"Are you alive again now?"
The Queen blushed and nodded. "Yes, seeing that letter has made me feel better. I have to thank the Princess for bringing all my family members to the border. Now I have no more weaknesses."
Bu Ruo coughed awkwardly at the mention of the Queen's maternal family. "Queen, you don't have to be so polite. Just don't scold me. After all, your father is really stubborn... My people have been talking your mouth off, but he still refuses to leave. They say that the damn emperor will definitely come to his senses and change for the better in the future, and that he can't betray Beining and defect to the Great Zhou."
"Later, I got angry and had Doctor Du drug your father and the others and forcibly take them away. But don't worry, the drug has no effect on the body and will not affect your father's lifespan. By the time they woke up, they would have been far away from this imperial city."
"Even if he curses harshly, I won't be able to hear him..."
When the Queen heard Bu Ruo's words, she not only didn't blame her but laughed out loud: "As expected, my stubborn old father still needs someone like the princess to deal with him. My father is very pedantic, but my mother is very open-minded."
Speaking of the Queen's mother, Bu Ruo nodded and said, "Indeed, your mother was the only one in your family who agreed to leave because she didn't want to hold you back. She said that listening to your father and marrying you into the royal family was the thing she regretted most in her life."
"Your mother was the only one in your house who wasn't knocked unconscious. Not only that, she even tied up your unconscious father and gave him a few good kicks."
"Your mother...is an interesting person. You have a personality similar to your mother's."
The Queen laughed even more heartily: "Yes, my two brothers are like our father, pedantic and timid, only I am like my mother."
"My mother was once a military officer, but she married my father after her family fell on hard times. When the bastard emperor proposed, my mother vehemently opposed it and almost divorced my father. Who knew that bastard would even ask for the late emperor's imperial decree granting the marriage... Never mind. It's all in the past. As long as they're safe, that's all that matters."
"By the way, Princess, you haven't told me about the Ninghe Palace incident yet. This assassin tonight... is he related to Concubine Zhang?"
"I saw the message that the princess asked Lu'er to send me that day. I never thought the Zhang family would be so bold as to collude with the previous dynasty and attempt treason."
"But it's a rebellion, and it's a rebellion. Beining is rotten to the core from top to bottom. It's only a matter of time before it's destroyed."
Bu Ruo looked at the gleam in the queen's eyes and said, "Yes, it was the one from Ninghe Palace who did it, but she reaped the consequences."
Guo Lu continued, "Tonight's assassin was a secret guard hidden in the palace by the former Tao family. She originally wanted to send them to abduct the princess or the young princess, but the prince used a trick to turn the tables."
"That Concubine Zhang has had her hair cut off and her face disfigured by the Tao family's secret guards. She had already fainted when we left."
The Queen stood up after hearing this and said, "Are you saying that Concubine Zhang is disfigured? There's an assassin in the harem. I'm worried about Concubine Zhang, so I'm going to check it out."
Bu Ruo sighed as she watched the queen hurried away, "Remember to stop smiling at the gate of Ninghe Palace. I'll come find you tomorrow night at midnight."
When the Queen heard that Bu Ruo was going to look for her, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. "Okay, I will definitely stay up all night and wait for you, Princess. I really like you so much. From now on, Princess, you are my biological sister."
"Not only tomorrow night, but also the night after tomorrow, this princess will take you out."
The Queen looked at Bu Ruo seriously and said, "Okay, I will wait for you. Even if you want to take me to the underworld, I will go with you."
Just as the queen was about to leave, a man appeared at the door of the front hall and poked his head in.
"Brother? Why are you here?"
The Queen saw this and said, "Didn't an assassin just break into the palace? I was worried that you would be in danger and didn't trust the palace physician, so I sent someone with my token to bring in the young doctor Jin. I thought that if you were injured, you would have someone reliable to treat you."
The little girl pointed at the big head at the door and said, "But Queen, although my senior brother is known as the Little Divine Doctor Jin, he can't treat illnesses. He's the kind of little genius doctor who can't even recognize all the herbs."
Queen: ...
"Well, he's already been brought in. This Mingyang Palace was originally used to entertain envoys from other countries. Strictly speaking, it's no longer considered part of the harem. It's fine for him to stay here."
