Chapter 158
The Queen Mother is recovering from illness, but she is in a terrible mood, because she knows that He Shibi, who has been with her for a long time, has been dropped by someone, and it is at her bedside.
The king of Chu originally wanted to hide this sad news from her, but the fake He's Bi was too gorgeous and didn't have the feel at that time.
The queen mother felt the difference after taking it for a while, she had no doubts at first, but a few people accidentally mentioned this, which made her doubts deepen.
Then, she secretly asked someone to collect evidence. Really, she was almost out of anger. If it weren't for Zhou Zihao's good skills, she might not be able to get angry at this time, or she might be bedridden.
"Who can steal He's Bi so easily, and at the same time create an identical He's Bi? Could it be someone close to him?"
The queen mother wondered, it was not unreasonable for her to be so suspicious, because the previous illness was a close court lady, if it wasn't because she trusted the maid too much, how could she lose her guard and let the people around her take advantage of it.
Although the maid tried her best to deny who instigated it, but from the side investigation, it was found that the maid had been relatively close to the people on Zheng Xiu's side recently.
After questioning, it turned out that the court lady was tempted by Zheng Xiu, saying that as long as she helped her get rid of the queen mother, she would get everything she yearned for in the future.
After thinking about it, the maid decided to help Zheng Xiu. There was only one reason, that is, the queen mother was very old, and accidents were easy to happen. When the master dies, he will be buried or other arrangements will be made, but it will definitely not end well.
Therefore, the maid heard that Zheng Xiu could help her escape such a tragic fate, so she decided to help Zheng Xiu, and this favorite concubine is not generally favored, Zheng Xiu's brilliance, every court lady knows, and Zheng Xiu's Being ruthless is also every court lady's nightmare.
Because as long as Zheng Xiu finds someone, it's okay if he helps, but if he doesn't help, the end must be terrible.
Those maids who disappeared forever have been spread in private, making people 'disgusted', so many people are frightened by her fierceness.
And there are also court ladies who are very prosperous. For example, there is a person who helped Zheng Xiu in one matter, making that court lady a position that others could not afford, and married a certain minister of Chu State.
Therefore, the maids did not dislike this fickle Zheng Xiu. Even though the rumors were shocking, there were still many court ladies who wanted to work for her.
After thinking about it, the queen mother should not indulge in sadness, because this will only worry the king of Chu and the officials of the state of Chu.
"Come over here."
The Queen Mother called Yue'er, the only palace maid around whom she could trust.
Yue'er was standing beside her, and when she heard the Queen Mother's call, she naturally walked over quickly and asked, "What orders does the Queen Mother have?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Yue'er's pretty face, and thought about her own aging, feeling a little sad, and said, "Yue'er, since when have you followed me?"
Yue'er said, "I've followed since I became sensible."
Yue'er was adopted back to the palace by the Empress Dowager. There was a famine that year, many people couldn't eat enough, and the children they gave birth were driven out and left to fend for themselves.
In such a year, there are a lot of people begging in the streets, and Yue'er happened to be met by the Queen Mother in that year.
At that time, Yue'er was already pale and emaciated from hunger, and was about to starve to death on the street. Her state moved the empress dowager's heart.
So he brought Xiaoyue'er back to the palace and treated her like an ordinary court lady, and when she was able to work, he just let Yue'er follow him.
The queen mother said: "Recently, many things have happened in our palace, which made everyone panic. The person I trust the most here is you."
Yue'er pinched the queen mother's legs and back to make her feel better physically and mentally, and said, "It's all my fault for not taking good care of you. I'm dying of anxiety these few days when you're sick. Fortunately, the doctor invited by Mr. Gongsun is very good and can cure you." Good for your illness."
The Queen Mother said: "How do I treat you?"
Yue'er was slightly taken aback, stopped what she was doing, and said coquettishly to the queen mother, "You are the best person in the world to Yue'er, if it weren't for you, I would have died in the streets."
Yue'er didn't think too much, she has been serving the Queen Mother personally, every time the Queen Mother has a headache or something, Yue'er can use her unique method to keep the Queen Mother away from minor illnesses and disasters.
Therefore, she was deeply loved by the queen mother. Yue'er looked up and saw the sad face of the queen mother, and asked: "Why is the queen mother so sad? Didn't you just recover?"
"Hey~ People are old and easy to worry."
"No, you must have something to worry about. Can you tell Yueer about it?"
The queen mother simply wanted to find someone to confide in, because Yue'er didn't know much about the ways in the palace, because she had always been well protected.
Yue'er grew up in the Empress Dowager's palace, and the Empress Dowager was her whole world, as long as the Empress Dowager ordered her to die immediately, she would never frown.
The queen mother said: "You must have heard of Zheng Xiu, she bought Qiu Ju to frame me, you know it too, right?"
Yue'er nodded, Qiu Ju was a few years older than her, and both were the queen mother's personal maids, Qiu Ju was different from her, thinking more.
"And Qiu Ju has been dealt with by me, so that there will be no more Qiu Ju in this world. If she knows the fate of betraying me, she will probably know how to think."
Yue'er knew about Qiu Ju, but she didn't know that Qiu Ju was the one who made the Queen Mother sick. Her former good sister did such a stupid thing, which made her very puzzled.
Yue'er said: "Queen Mother, Yue'er will never let you be hurt again."
The queen mother patted her head and said: "Silly girl, I am an old bone who is about to die. It is enough to be missed by others, but I don't trust you."
Yue'er was a little moved, and had the urge to cry.
The queen mother said: "I have decided to ask Wang'er to give you a special status. Princess Yue'er is what I want to fight for from Wang'er now."
Yue'er said: "I don't want to be a princess, I just want to serve you by your side, Yue'er doesn't want to leave you."
The queen mother said: "Silly girl, I just gave you an identity, but you still have to serve me all the time. When you find a suitable family, I will marry you off."
The tears in Yue'er's eyes flowed down, and she sobbed: "Queen Mother, you are already good enough to Yue'er, if you want to do this, I have long thought that I will always be with you, even if it is going to another place. So does the world."
The burial of court ladies is a bad habit that has been handed down from a long time ago. The court ladies can't resist. Their lives are like air, and no one cares.
Just like after some kings died, they said that they were afraid of loneliness and wanted to bring more people together. In order to satisfy the previous king, the successor king locked the maids, eunuchs and several close officials in the tomb, and suffocated them to death.
The queen mother said: "I don't need so many people to accompany me. Besides, you have accompanied me for more than ten years. I want to change to someone I hate more."
After finishing speaking, her face was determined, she wanted to fight Zheng Xiu down.
