"Mother, I'll go take a look first!"
Gu Qingcheng received the news and without delay, quietly came to the Queen Mother.
She lowered her voice and told the story of Concubine Xie in just a few words.
When saying this, Gu Qingcheng deliberately paid attention to the Queen Mother's reaction.
Although she knew that with the Queen Mother's status, no one would be able to detect any of her emotional fluctuations.
But, you have to take a look.
Because Gu Qingcheng suspected that Concubine Xie’s “accident” might be related to Queen Mother Wang.
First, the Queen Mother had a motive.
Although Concubine Xie herself may not think there is anything wrong with her several provocations, they are all insults to Queen Mother Wang.
The Queen Mother had been a powerful figure in the harem for twenty or thirty years, but she had suffered at the hands of the late emperor. None of the women in the harem dared to act rudely with her.
Now that she had outlasted the late emperor and become the most honorable woman in the Great Jing Dynasty, Queen Mother Wang had no reason to swallow her anger.
She would not confront Concubine Xie head-on, not because she didn't dare, but because she disdained to do so.
But she still went back to teach Concubine Xie a lesson.
Second, the Queen Mother is capable.
Having been a political queen mother for three years, Queen Mother Wang could easily arrange an accident.
Moreover, Queen Mother Wang was used to taking this route to Ci'en Temple.
The Queen Mother knew exactly where to set traps.
Third, this may not just be a lesson, but the beginning of the Queen Mother’s new plan!
"That peasant girl!"
"How did you just 'happen' to save Concubine Xie?"
"If someone arranged this in advance, that would make sense!"
"Is there also the Queen Mother's hand in this?"
Gu Qingcheng's brain was working fast, and she could always think of various possibilities.
Even the most unreliable guess is very likely to be true.
"……well!"
The Queen Mother knelt on the cushion, with her hands clasped together, listening to the monk chanting with a pious look on her face.
After listening to Gu Qingcheng's story, he sighed softly.
She seemed to be saying: This Xie, it is destined that she will suffer this disaster.
If Concubine Xie had followed the main force obediently and not caused trouble, there would not have been a wild boar charging at her.
Although I escaped by luck, I was still scared.
Moreover, the emperor's biological mother was attacked by a wild boar, and in a place of great importance to Buddhism—
Tsk tsk, words like this can easily give rise to a lot of fantasies.
Once it becomes a topic of conversation on the streets, what dignity does it still have?
After sighing, the Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Go! His Majesty is here too."
The Queen Mother’s meaning was very clear, the only person she cared about was Min Huang.
To the Queen Mother, the title of Concubine Xie is just a ridiculous "thing"!
"Thank you for your consideration, Mother!"
Gu Qingcheng saluted respectfully and then quietly retreated.
After leaving the hall, Gu Qingcheng and his group headed straight down the mountain.
Half an hour later, Gu Qingcheng's car arrived at its destination.
"His Majesty!"
When Gu Qingcheng saw Min Huang, she was still dignified and calm, not even a strand of her hair was messy.
However, Min Huang still heard her voice——
【Great! Your Majesty is safe and sound! 】
Although the messenger said that His Majesty is fine, I still cannot rest assured without seeing it with my own eyes.
"That's a wild boar. When it gets fierce, it's no less ferocious than tigers, leopards, jackals, or wolves. It's easy to get hurt if you get charged by a wild boar."
[If anything were to happen to Your Majesty, I, I—]
Looking at Gu Qingcheng's calm face and listening to her inner "burning passion", Min Huang felt his heart warmed.
For a gentle and affectionate person, such feelings may be normal.
After all, that person is full of emotions.
But it is extremely rare for someone as cold and arrogant as Queen Gu to have such a passionate heart.
[Perhaps, the Queen herself doesn't know that she has already fallen deeply in love with me.]
[She is so rational, so smart, yet she still foolishly fell in love with me.]
[Alas, what a pity! I will ultimately disappoint her——]
The imperial power is supreme and must be firmly controlled in his hands.
Neither the empress nor his relatives could take away his rights.
[I just hope that when the Gu family is punished in the future, Aqing and I won't completely break up!]
Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng couldn't hear Min Huang's inner voice, otherwise, she would have sincerely replied: "Let's encourage each other!"
"Don't worry, Queen. I'm fine!"
Min Huang collected his thoughts, suppressed the warmth in his heart, and spoke lightly to Gu Qingcheng.
"Your Majesty, how did you encounter a wild boar?"
"How's mother? Is she okay?"
"I have brought the imperial physician with me. How about letting him take Mother's pulse first?"
Gu Qingcheng still maintained the appearance of a "virtuous queen" and acted without making any mistakes.
Come to think of it, he rushed over after hearing the bad news, but he also did not forget to bring the imperial physician, medicinal materials, etc., which shows how thoughtful he was.
"The Queen is thoughtful. Mother was just a little frightened."
Min Huang knew that the Queen really meant it and was not just putting on an act.
There's no way around it. People who have the ability to read minds are just so confident.
However, Min Huang has begun to learn to control this magical power, and he can already distinguish between sound and the voice of the mind.
He will never reveal his flaws again.
Seeing his excellent performance, Huoshui couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "As expected of the male lead!"
Shen Tong might be a pitfall, but Min Huang is the hero.
He may have begun to realize his problem and is trying to adjust.
