104 Lower Mawei

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled. They didn't say anything more, but each other's affection was recorded in each other's hearts.

Hongyu held Murong Qingqi and went to sleep, and neither master nor servant thought much.

Who knew that the next morning, Murong Qingluo was still asleep when he saw Hongqi hurried in.

Hongqi panicked when he saw her.

She is also the one who has seen the big scene, but she is still shocked.

After she walked in, she knelt down for Murong Qinglu and said repeatedly, "Mother, the big thing is not good. What do you think we should do?"

Murong Qinglu was surprised to see her appearance and quickly asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you talk about it?"

Hongqi said to Murong Qinglu, "A few eunuchs came outside, saying that it was the order of the Empress Dowager and wanted to take the Empress to ask questions."

"Became back to ask questions, why is that?" Murong Qinglu thought it was very strange.

"Is it because I punished Linglan yesterday? The Empress Dowager should not be so important.

Murong Qinglu's tone is still faint, and no one knows what she is thinking.

"It's not like that."

Red silk's lips and teeth trembled, and she said to Murong Qinglu repeatedly, "It's Linglan...she..."

After several pauses, I finally said what I said in my heart.

"It's Linglan who died."

"What, what did you say?"

"Linglan died inexplicably." The red silk repeated it again.

She said anxiously, "Mother, what should you do now? The Empress Dowager had ordered the eunuch to wait outside, saying that she would immediately take the Empress back to the palace to have a match. Linglan is also a maid of honor that the Empress Dowager likes very much. The Empress Dowager specially sent her to the Empress Dowager's side. Now that she is dead like this, the Empress Dowager inevitably thinks that the Empress Dowager is going to the Empress Dowager. Linglan's death is a small matter, and it's a big deal to break the face of the Empress Dowager.

Hongshang was also clear-headed and quickly analyzed with Murong Qinglu.

Murong Qingqi didn't look after hearing this. She slowly said to Hongyan, "Dress up my palace. Let's go to see the Empress Dowager now."

Hongqi quickly got up and went to dress up Murong Qinglu. It took a long time to dress her up.

Murong Qinglu smiled at the corners of his mouth, gently stroked his bun, and said with a smile, "Your hands have been shaking all the time. As a result, the bun has been crooked. Let's do it again."

Hongqi didn't know what Murong Qingqi was thinking, but when he saw that she was so calm, he became more and more nervous.

She said anxiously, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that the people sent by the Empress Dowager are waiting outside now? If we don't go to see the empress dowager quickly, I'm afraid... the empress dowager will be troublesome."

Murong Qingluo just smiled faintly. She said to Hongqi, "You don't have to worry so much. If we can't wait to go out and follow them to meet the empress dowager, it will be selfless and selfish. It seems that I really did it, so I can't wait to explain it to the Empress Dowager. Now we seem to be calm, but we can be less suspicious.

After Qinglu's words, Hongyan nodded and said, "It turns out that the Empress thinks so, but the maidservant always feels a little scared, and I don't know if the Empress Dowager will let us go."

"Don't worry."

Murong Qingluo smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager just took advantage of Linglan's desperate fuss and wanted to give the emperor the breath in her heart. Besides, Linglan's death has nothing to do with us. Even if the Empress Dowager blames it, what do you think?"

After hearing Murong Qinglu's words, Hongyu finally nodded and said, "What the Empress said is also very reasonable. In this case, let's go quickly."

So she hurriedly straightened her bun for Murong Qinglu, washed it for her, and came out with her.

The eunuch had been waiting there impatiently for a long time. When he saw Murong Qinglu come out, he stepped forward and said to Murong Qinglu, "Your concubine, our family is newly transferred to the empress dowager. Our name is Cui Youcheng. On the order of the empress dowager, he invited the empress dowager's palace to talk about it."

Murong Qinglu nodded and said lightly, "I'm sorry to guide you in front of you."

So Cui Youcheng led the way in front of him, leading Murong Qinglu and Hongyan all the way to the palace.

Soon she arrived at the empress dowager's palace, where the empress dowager sat, while the queen Du Qianyi sat beside her.

Neither of them spoke.

There are also a lot of concubines sitting next to them, including Jieyu and others.

Seeing Murong Qinglu coming, the corners of Xie Yu's mouth couldn't help showing a sneer.

She has always been a person who can't hide her words in her heart, so when she sees Murong Qingluo unlucky in this situation, of course, it is difficult to hide her pride and happiness in her heart.

Murong Qinglu went to say hi to the empress dowager and the queen first, and the queen quickly helped her and said, "Your sister, get up quickly. They are all her own sisters. Why be so polite?"

Murong Qinglu didn't say anything.

The Empress Dowager looked at Murong Qinglu and said to her, "Qinglu, I heard that Linglan, the maid of honor sent by my family to serve you, has now died in your palace. What do you think of this matter?"

Murong Qingluo lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, and then said slowly said, "The Empress Dowager, Qinglu has just known about this matter. Qinglu is also preparing to report to the queen and wants the queen to verify it clearly."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager didn't say a word, and the queen said quietly, "Sister, I heard that you treated Linglan fiercely yesterday. Is there such a thing?"

"That's right, there is indeed such a thing."

Murong Qinglu said with a smile, "Linglan is domineering in my palace and often abuses the maids. As a master, I just punish her."

"The thirty boards are not a small punishment. The thirty boards are enough to kill people."

Xie Yu said without losing the opportunity.

After hearing this, Hongyu quickly argued, "The Empress said that hitting her on the 30 boards was just a bluff to scare her. In the end, the Empress just hit her on the 20 boards. She usually beats us more than that much."

Xie Yu continued to sneer and said, "What are you? You are just a little maid of honor. Is there a place for you to talk in front of the masters?"

After listening to it, Hongyan didn't dare to say any more, and quickly hid behind.

Murong Qinglu looked calm, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

She has always been a very quiet person, but she seems to be surprised when this kind of thing happens.

The queen didn't say anything, and the empress dowager was also bowing her head and meditating.

The Empress Dowager was shocked after hearing about this.

Yesterday, Murong Qinglu had just punished Linglan. As a result, Linglan died today. Naturally, Murong Qinglu is the most suspected.

Although a dead maid is nothing, this maid was specially sent to serve Murong Qinglu and died like this. The Empress Dowager felt very shameless.

It seems that Murong Qinglu doesn't have her empress dowager in her eyes.

Therefore, the anger in her heart was always difficult to swallow, so she deliberately summoned all the concubines, including the queen, and also called all the maidservants of honor. She wanted to find out this matter and give Murong Qinglu a majesty.

I didn't expect Murong Qinglu to be so calm, as if nothing had happened.
