Li Jiaorong returned home with a bunch of rewards. Seeing that she was safe and sound, with no arms or legs missing, Gu Xingmo breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay, nothing went wrong.

The palace is a place that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones. Everyone has their own way to survive there.

There is too much filth in this world, and he can't control it all, but he just wants to protect the innocence of his sweetheart, because Li Jiarong is already the last pure land in his heart.

Gu Xingmo hugged Li Jiaorong, worried that she would be frightened, and comforted him: "We won't go next time."

Li Jiaorong shook her head, took out the token given by Wang Yanling from her arms, waved it in front of Gu Xingmo's eyes, and said with a smile: "No, sir, the queen gave me this, so that I can often enter the palace." Look at her."

Gu Xingmo took the token and was shocked. How could the Queen give away a token that could be used to enter and leave the palace at will?

For a moment, a strong feeling of worry arose, and Gu Xingmo asked urgently: "Rong Niang, what did you do today? What did you say to the Queen? Why did she give this to you? Come and follow me Talk about it, don’t miss even a hair.”

Seeing that he was so anxious, Li Jiaorong also panicked, mistakenly thinking that this was something serious, and quickly recounted what happened in Fengzao Palace today.

After Gu Xingmo heard everything, he still didn't understand. They just met him once. Do they really like him so much?

But apart from really liking it, there is no other reason.

Li Jiaorong was still talking about the goodness of the Queen, praising her for being gentle, generous, kind and kind, and a wonderful person.

After Gu Xingmo heard this, he felt more and more unhappy.

In the last life, because of the Cui family, he knew a lot of palace secrets. For example, before the Queen gave birth to Princess Ping, she was pregnant with a little prince. Later, she was poisoned by the then-popular Concubine Li Guifei and gave birth to a stillborn child.

Emperor Yin was angry and ransacked Concubine Li's father's home, and unexpectedly found evidence of their rebellion, implicating the nine clans.

Gu Xingmo was not interested in these things, but Cui Chuochuan liked to tell him. Cui Chuancuan said that the little prince was not poisoned by Concubine Li, but by the empress herself. She knew that Emperor Yin had been afraid of the Li family for a long time, and she also knew that the child had no chance to survive. Unable to stop himself, he drank the medicine in advance and put all the blame on Concubine Li.

Cui Chuanchui also said that after Concubine Li was thrown into the cold palace, the Queen Mother had her fed a lot of safflower soup. After feeding her, Concubine Li's lower body bleeds non-stop, and she died within a few days.

Only a year after the death of the little prince, the empress became pregnant again and gave birth to the current Princess Changping.

The reason why the Empress was able to get pregnant again so quickly was because she drank a folk remedy, but the medicine was so strong that the Empress suffered a massive haemorrhage during childbirth, which completely destroyed her body and made her unable to get pregnant again.

Princess Changping was weak when she was young, and even lost her sense of taste completely due to a high fever. It was only after so many years of taking supplements that she got better.

……

People who can live a prosperous life in the palace have more or less unclean hands. Maybe the Empress did the right thing, but Gu Xingmo always felt uncomfortable. After all, Li Jiaorong was too simple and could not play well. The scheming royal.

After thinking about it, Gu Xingmo put away the token and said, "Rong Niang, if you are not summoned by the empress in the future, you must not easily enter the palace to find her. Do you understand?"

I didn’t understand it, but I understood it.

Li Jiaorong nodded obediently. Her husband-in-law would not let her go to the Queen, so she would not go. The world is huge and her husband-in-law is the biggest, and he would definitely not harm her anyway!

Seeing that she was willing to listen to him, Gu Xingmo felt relieved, touched the top of the little girl's hair, and said with a smile: "I'm going to the palace today. Thank you for your hard work, madam. I have ordered the kitchen to prepare walnut cakes and horseshoe cakes... "

Before she finished speaking, Li Jiaorong replied directly: "Thank you, sir" and then quickly ran towards the kitchen.

Gu Xingmo was stunned on the spot. After a long time to react, he smiled helplessly. But when he saw the jade Ruyi, the smile on his face stopped. He touched the jade Ruyi carefully. It was made of high-quality jade. The good stuff was made and given to the wife of a sixth-rank official? Unreasonable.

Queen, what are you planning?

He really couldn't figure it out!

As soon as Li Jiaorong left the palace, there was movement from the Cining Palace.

An old nun hurriedly stepped forward, whispered something in the ear of the woman who had her eyes closed and was concentrating. After the nun finished speaking, she stood aside respectfully.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, which also had a pair of apricot eyes, but unlike the simplicity in Li Jiaorong's eyes, the woman's eyes were more weathered and calm, and a bit sharp, with the majesty of the Queen Mother.

She didn't speak at first, but after a long time, she sighed softly and asked helplessly: "Is it really that similar?"

Mammy nodded desperately and replied: "Old slave, I saw it, and it looks like it was carved from the same mold."

If you think about it carefully, she has not seen her daughter for almost twenty years. The Queen Mother stroked her eyebrows, and suddenly there was a sourness in her heart. The child was still blaming herself. Alas, I don't know if she can still be here in this life. Hear her call her "Mother".

After a long time, she said as if she had compromised, "Then call her into the palace to meet her."

Mammy's face lit up, but she seemed to have thought of something, and she began to persuade: "Queen Mother, why don't you just make it clear to the eldest princess? It's been so many years..."

Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother waved her hand irritably.

Mammy immediately understood what she meant, and no matter how reluctant she was, she could only retreat obediently.

As soon as the people left, the Queen Mother fell on the imperial concubine's couch beside her and slowly rocked up. Her eyes closed again, as if she had fallen asleep.

After receiving the imperial edict to enter the palace again, Li Jiaorong was still a little confused. Didn't she just arrive a few days ago? Why do you have to come here again now? And she hasn't made it clear to her husband yet, and she hasn't prepared anything yet, so she just goes in like this?

Gu Xingmo went to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning to be busy, so he didn't know that not long after he left, someone from the palace came to pick up his young lady.

The carriage was driving very fast. When Li Jiaorong got off the carriage again, she found that she had entered the palace and was standing in front of the gate of "Cining Palace". This time she didn't have to get off the carriage outside the palace! Li Jiaorong was a little surprised, but what followed was a deep uneasiness. Why on earth did the Queen Mother want to see her?

Li Jiaorong didn't understand and stood there refusing to leave.

The eunuch behind saw him and urged, "You'd better leave quickly. The Queen Mother doesn't like to wait for anyone."

This sentence was so intimidating that Li Jiaorong didn't dare to delay any longer. She straightened her clothes, followed closely behind the leading eunuch, and hurried in.

Cining Palace is very big, probably bigger than Fengzao Palace, Li Jiarong thought as she walked.
