As an imperial concubine, Meng Guxue naturally had no qualifications to go to the palace to receive envoys.

She knew that Baili Chengyou was worried about the King's wife, so she said:

"Baili, you go ahead. I will stay to accompany my wife. Jiaojiao is still young, so I will leave her here."

"You can take Doctor Zou away. Remember to ask Lord Qiao and the others to wait at the palace gate. I will send Jiaojiao to them."

Qiao Jiaojiao thought this arrangement was very appropriate.

Baili Chengyou looked at Meng Guxue, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

"good."

His father had summoned him several times, and he could have ignored him just now. But now that his mother had woken up, it would be extremely disrespectful for him to refuse again.

Although there were many doubts about his mother's coma, he could finally put his mind at ease.

Judging from Big Brother’s reaction just now, he definitely knows something!

He simply went to see what his father, elder brother and second brother were up to!

Baili Chengyou took Doctor Zou away, and Qiao Bo naturally stayed to continue protecting Jiaojiao.

Meng Guxue watched Baili Chengyou's back disappear around the corner, then she carried Jiaojiao into the main hall.

At this time, the king's wife was lying on the couch, looking unhappy.

Meng Guxue walked forward with a worried look on her face. Before she opened her mouth to express her concern, the old nanny had already started speaking well of Meng Guxue.

"Madam, during the time you were in a coma, the imperial concubine often came to take care of you."

Upon hearing this, the wife of the king raised a gentle smile on her face.

"I feel at ease knowing that You'er has Xue'er by his side."

The King's wife truly likes Meng Guxue. Firstly, it is because Meng Guxue is the girl her son admires, and secondly, it is because she thinks Meng Guxue is indeed very special.

Different from the ladies of noble families she had met, Meng Guxue was frank and sincere. Although she was occasionally reckless, she always exuded a sense of "comfort".

The wife of the king has never been able to control herself, so she thinks Meng Guxue's temperament is very precious.

Meng Guxue felt ashamed when she heard this. The king's wife had a nanny serving her and she was just sitting aside.

"Mother, how do you feel?"

The wife of the king shook her head. "I'm just a little tired. Xue'er, this little girl is so pretty. Whose child is she?"

The King's wife's eyes fell on Jiaojiao with kindness.

Meng Guxue said hurriedly: "Mother, the Yong Dynasty sent an envoy to celebrate Christmas with father. This is the daughter of the envoy Qiao Zhongguo."

"Ah, is that the Lord Qiao whom you admire so much?"

Because the Queen's wife was very approachable, Meng Guxue often went to the palace to chat with her.

The Queen's wife had heard of Qiao Zhongguo's name many times from Meng Guxue.

Qiao Jiaojiao smiled and said in a baby voice, "Jiaojiao greets the Madam."

The wife of the king's wife's eyes lit up, "What a well-behaved child, Jiaojiao? She really lives up to her name."

The atmosphere in the room was harmonious for a while, until Meng Guxue hesitated for a while and said bluntly:

"Madam, are you really doing this stupid thing because you can't stand the rumors?"

"Xue'er said this not to offend you, but I think you are very clear-headed and shouldn't make such a choice."

"Baili has been in great pain during this period. He is really scared."

Upon hearing this, the King's wife immediately showed a sad look on her face.

Seeing this, Meng Guxue sat down beside the couch, with a look of anger on her face.

"Those who love to gossip are truly despicable!"

"Women's situation is already difficult. Even though you are such a good mother, you can't escape their attacks!"

"If Xue'er were to tell you, mother, you shouldn't do such a thing that would make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy. You should just arrest those who spread the rumors and give them a good slap in the face!"

Meng Guxue was a person who took pleasure in taking revenge, and as she spoke she made two slapping gestures.

The King's wife raised her lips slightly upon seeing this, but what escaped was a bitter smile.

Qiao Jiaojiao saw this and could vaguely sense the difficulty the king's wife was in.

[As a mother, the Queen's wife should not be afraid of her own reputation being ruined, but worried about the impact on Baili Chengyou, right? ]

[The position of the crown prince of Nanli is still undecided. Baili Chengyou is the legitimate son. Although he has two older brothers, he still has a chance of winning.]

[If the King's wife's misconduct were exposed at this time, it would be a huge blow to Baili Chengyou.]

[Alas, but in this case, how innocent is the wife of the king who was splashed with dirty water? In the end, it is still the thief who should be blamed for using such a despicable method! ]

[However, what exactly did the King's wife mean by those few words she said when she woke up just now? ]

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao could only pretend to be an ignorant child, so she couldn't ask anything.

She was secretly anxious, and had already started to speak for Meng Guxue!

"Mother, you just asked Baili how long he had slept. Xue'er heard what you said, it seems... Is this your plan?"

"But how can you guarantee that you can wake up? And even if you don't tell anyone else, you can at least let Baili know first."

"Mother, Xue'er knows that you are definitely thinking about Baili, but if you hide everything from him, he will only be put in a passive position."

"Xue'er has seen that he has completely lost his composure these days. If a bad guy attacks him now, he will be overwhelmed and unable to defend himself."

Meng Guxue's face was solemn. Now that she and Baili Chengyou were in the same camp, she would naturally spare no effort to consider Baili Chengyou.

It is not good for the King's wife to keep this secret, so let's just put it out in the open so that we can work together to find a solution!

This is what Qiao Tianjing taught her that day, and she thought it made a lot of sense!

Qiao Jiaojiao: (???□?)?

[Ahhh! Meng Guxue is so awesome! You hit the nail on the head!]

Upon hearing this, the wife of the king showed some emotion on her face, but she still seemed hesitant.

Meng Guxue added fuel to the fire when she saw this, "Mother, my fourth sister attacked Xue'er a few days ago. She planted a Gu in Xue'er."

"Mother, our current situation is truly precarious. It is especially valuable to be honest with each other at this time!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen sat up straight. She immediately grabbed Meng Guxue's hand and asked nervously:

"Miaoxue attacked you? Xue'er, are you okay? Is the Gu removed? What Gu?"

Meng Guxue also had a look of fear on her face, "It's the Double Words Gu. They're probably planning to make Xue'er look bad at the birthday banquet so they can use it to deal with Baili!"

The King's wife was horrified when she heard this. Seeing that Baili Chengyou and Meng Guxue were already in such a difficult situation, she really didn't dare to hide anything now.

Thinking of this, she sighed, asked the nanny to guard the front hall, and said in a muffled voice:

"Xue'er, actually the rumor is not groundless. What the Queen Mother meant is that the Queen Mother and the Second Prince... are indeed old acquaintances."

Meng Guxue opened her mouth slightly when she heard this.
