After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian went to the place where the Black Armor Army was camped. When she returned to Kunning Palace, the queen was sitting in the room drinking tea.

"Sister-in-law, why did you get out of bed?"

Meng Qianqian asked with concern.

The queen smiled weakly and said, "I didn't see you when I woke up. I heard from Yuanyang that you went to the military camp. Do you know the whereabouts of your brother?"

Meng Qianqian sighed and said helplessly, "Not yet. My brother disappeared in the cold palace. I went to the dry well where he disappeared in the palace. I suspect there is a mechanism there that allows one to enter but not exit."

The queen was horrified and held Meng Qianqian's hand tightly: "You can only go in but not out, then your majesty is... in danger?"

Meng Qianqian lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.

The queen patted her hand and consoled her: "Look at me, how can I say such words to you? You and His Majesty have the best relationship. If His Majesty is in trouble, you will be more sad than I am."

Meng Qianqian choked up and said, "Sister-in-law's affection for brother is no less than Feng Yin's. Feng Yin is very worried about sister-in-law. No matter what happens, Feng Yin doesn't want sister-in-law to do anything stupid."

The queen was stunned.

Meng Qianqian wiped her tears and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, Feng Yin plans to go down to the dry well himself to rescue my brother."

The queen grabbed her hand and said, "But... didn't you say that this place is only for entry but not exit?"

Meng Qianqian paused: "In fact, Feng Yin has a bold guess about the secret passage under the dry well. Feng Yin suspects it is an entrance to the underground palace."

"Underground palace?" The queen was stunned.

"Yes."

Meng Qianqian said, "Since it is an underground palace, there must be an exit. Feng Yin brought 12,000 soldiers back to the city this time, including 10,000 elite black-armored soldiers. In addition, I also invited a Gu master from Miaojiang, who will use Gu insects to find my whereabouts. As long as I find my brother in the underground palace and take him to the exit, the black-armored soldiers will come to pick me and my brother up."

The queen took a sip from the teacup and said, "This is a foolproof plan, but if something happens to you, how can I explain it to my ancestors?"

Meng Qianqian said solemnly: "But if Feng Yin doesn't go to find my brother, Feng Yin is afraid that my sister-in-law will do something stupid. My sister-in-law has not eaten or drunk these days, which really scared Feng Yin."

The queen's eyelids trembled.

She coughed slightly.

Meng Qianqian quickly raised her hand to smooth her back: "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Don't let your mind get upset. When my brother is not around, I am the closest person to Feng Yin."

Clang.

There was a sound of breaking porcelain at the door.

The queen raised her eyes and looked outside with Meng Qianqian.

Prince Fu stood outside the door at a loss, his eyes full of worry.

Meng Qianqian asked unhappily, "You have no manners. You can't even hold a bowl of medicine steadily?"

Prince Fu looked at the Queen.

The queen patted the back of Meng Qianqian's hand and said, "Prince Fu is very filial. He has been taking care of me by my bedside these days. I originally said that I should let the palace maids do this, but he refused and did everything himself."

Meng Qianqian snorted.

The maid beside the queen walked forward very attentively and began to clean up the broken porcelain and medicine residue on the ground.

Prince Fu stepped inside, full of worry: "Mother, you..."

Meng Qianqian said coldly: "You are hesitating. Are you not able to speak clearly? I warn you to serve the queen well. If the queen loses her mind, your life in Prince Fu's mansion will be difficult!"

Prince Fu acted like a junior and said, "I know, aunt."

That day, the news that the Queen was in great pain and wanted to follow His Majesty spread like wildfire, reaching the entire palace in just half a day.

"She wants to commit suicide for her cousin?"

Imperial Concubine Hu sat in the small garden of the palace and sneered disdainfully, "She is just pretending. Don't I know her?"

"My lady, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

The personal maid reminded.

Concubine Hu snorted coldly, "My cousin is gone, how can I be afraid of her? My son will soon ascend the throne, and I am the real queen mother. She will be inferior to me in the future!"

According to the ancestral system, both the empress and the emperor's biological mother could be named empress dowager, with the former being more respected. However, in reality, due to the emperor's favoritism, the latter often had more prestige and real power.

Therefore, Concubine Hu is no longer afraid of the Queen.

She smiled faintly: "Let's go and see the queen."

At the gate of Kunning Palace, Concubine Hu met Concubine Chen and Concubine Jiang Hui unexpectedly.

She glanced at the two of them with a haughty look, and asked indifferently, "Why are Concubine Chen and Concubine Hui here too?"

Concubine Jiang Hui sneered: "Is Kunning Palace a place that we can't come to?"

When Concubine Hu saw Concubine Jiang Hui, she thought of the humiliation of being slapped in the face by her, and her cheeks began to hurt again.

She said sarcastically: "Some people are like clay Buddhas crossing a river and can't even protect themselves, and they wade into the muddy waters, not knowing how they will die one day."

The concubine smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. Even a clay Buddha cannot save himself when crossing a river. Just stay in the palace and don't fall down one day and never get up again."

"you!"

Concubine Hu's eyes became fierce.

Concubine Jiang Hui patted Concubine Chen's hand and said, "If you can talk, then talk more."

Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

The two of them entered Kunning Palace hand in hand.

Concubine Hu was once again furious.

She looked at their backs coldly and sneered, "I wonder how long you can remain so arrogant? When my son ascends the throne, you will all grovel at my feet!"

As soon as Concubine Chen and Concubine Jiang Hui entered Kunning Palace, they asked the Queen about her well-being and gave her kind advice.

"Your Majesty is just missing", "Your Majesty must be blessed by heaven and will return safely", "The Queen must not be too upset" and so on.

"Although there was a precedent of burying people alive with their loved ones in the past dynasties, our dynasty does not require it. Please take care of yourself, Queen."

The one who said this was Concubine Chen.

Concubine Jiang Hui was too lazy to act, she just watched the show.

The Queen looked at Concubine Chen's concerned eyes without blinking, and suddenly felt that this woman who had been humble and submissive in the palace for half her life was not as simple as she seemed.

She actually mentioned burial alive.

If anything happens to me in the future, there will be "omens" already.

Concubine Chen said gently, "Take care, Queen. Concubine Hui and I will not disturb you for now."

After leaving Kunning Palace, Concubine Jiang Hui said to Concubine Chen: "I didn't know you were so smart before. It would have been great if you had been like this earlier."

The concubine smiled shyly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Concubine Jiang Hui said, "Let's go to my palace and play for a while."

The concubine said: "You are not allowed to make a fool of yourself."

Concubine Jiang Hui: "I told you I was wrong last time!"

Concubine Hu stood behind the flowers, watching the two of them talking and laughing, and rolled her eyes in anger.

Kunning Palace.

The palace maid Yuanyang served medicine to the queen.

The Queen waved her hand.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuanyang took away the medicine.

The queen stared at the bronze mirror quietly, took off her earrings calmly, and threw them into her dressing box.

Meng Qianqian packed up her things for the underground palace and went to rest.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

A venomous snake with its tongue spitting out quietly crawled into the window and climbed onto Meng Qianqian's bed.
