Jiang Zuiyao knew that she had really angered the Queen Mother, and she didn't want to do this.

Everything that happened today was not planned in advance, but happened according to the trend, and those who spoke quickly became unhappy.

Although Jiang Zuiyao knew that she was reckless, she did not regret it. She had been keeping these words in her heart for a long time. In the past, she was afraid of the Queen Mother and did not dare to speak. Today, she finally couldn't help but say it. Although the Queen Mother Fengyan was furious, she

It can be said that I feel happy for a while.

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Zuiyao condescendingly, narrowed her eyes fiercely, walked down the steps of the soft couch, and approached Jiang Zuiyao step by step. She said with a ruthless coldness on her face: "Do you think you rely on the Ai family to pamper you?

You can do whatever you want? The Ai family is the Queen Mother of Rongguo, how can you be allowed to act recklessly?"

Jiang Zuiyao took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She knew that she had made a mistake, but she was not afraid. She blinked her eyes and prepared herself for the storm. She said calmly: "What I am doing today is my concubine."

It is true that I have offended you, but I am not disobedient, I just told you the truth in my heart. If the Queen Mother cannot tolerate it, and she wants to kill or behead her, please do as she pleases."

In fact, if Jiang Zuiyao could relent at this moment and knelt down to beg the Queen Mother for forgiveness, the Queen Mother might not forgive her, but she refused to bow her head. How could the Queen Mother tolerate this? Her jaw trembled slightly with anger, and she nodded repeatedly: "

Good! Very good! The Ai family wants to see how you can turn around if you are found guilty of treason and lose the protection of the Ai family!"

Then, the Queen Mother shouted towards the door: "Here comes someone!"

The Queen Mother had a cold, angry and resolute look on her face, which showed that she was serious and was not trying to scare people.

But as soon as the voice fell, the palace door was suddenly pushed open, which made people suspicious.

Jiang Zuiyao and the Empress Dowager were secret spies in the palace. There were three gates outside. There was no one inside the three gates. Only the Empress Dowager sent people. The fastest servant at the door had to walk twenty or thirty steps. Why did someone appear as soon as he finished speaking?

Push the door, is there someone at the door?

This made the Queen Mother a little wary. She could not imagine that in the heavily guarded Fengzhu Palace, any master would be able to eavesdrop outside the door.

The Queen Mother stared sharply at the door, and saw a pair of soft-soled patterned snakeskin cloud-toed cotton boots reaching in. With the green shirt on her body swaying, Shao Ziqing appeared in front of her.

His appearance shocked the Queen Mother and Jiang Zuiyao.

"Shao Ziqing!" Jiang Zuiyao called out in disbelief.

The Queen Mother frowned. She knew that Shao Ziqing had listened to her conversation with Jiang Zuiyao just now.

Shao Ziqing walked up to the Queen Mother, glanced at Jiang Zuiyao, her eyes softened with a bit of pity, and then turned to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, calm down, Zuiyao has no disobedience, she is just young and energetic and ignorant.

."

The Queen Mother was still angry, so she couldn't help but vent her anger on Shao Ziqing, scolding: "The Ai family has not been summoned, who asked you to come back?"

Shao Ziqing tightened the corners of his lips and said, "I have something important to report to the Empress Dowager, so I can't delay it."

The Queen Mother was so smart. She glanced at Jiang Zuiyao and said coldly: "You can send someone to report the important matter. If you contact the Ai family, when will you come to report it in person? The Ai family thinks you are someone who pretends to be unable to let go.

Bar?"

Shao Ziqing deliberately avoided the Queen Mother's gaze and did not reply, which was her acquiescence.

In this way, the Queen Mother became even more unhappy. She looked at the two of them with disdain and said, "Aren't you two husband and wife always at odds with each other? Why? Now we feel sympathy for each other?"

Shao Ziqing was afraid that the Queen Mother would anger Jiang Zuiyao again, so she hurriedly clasped her fists and bowed to apologize: "Let me tell you to the Queen Mother, Zuiyao has a strong temper and is a little willful, but she has no disobedience. She is also loyal to the royal family, and I hope the Queen Mother will keep her in mind."

She has suffered for a long time, forgive her this time."

Seeing Shao Ziqing's humble appearance, the Queen Mother seemed to be sincerely apologizing, and a sneer rose on her lips.

"Ha." The sneer was short and brisk. The Queen Mother turned around and sat back on the soft couch and said: "You said Yao'er was strong and willful, so why not you? You have never apologized to the Ai family, but now you are willing to do so.

Now I bow my head and beg for mercy for Yaoer."

Immediately, the Queen Mother looked at Jiang Zuiyao and said: "You too, you have suffered so many grievances from the beginning to the end, and you have never defended yourself in front of the Ai family. Today, you are so rude to the Ai family because of a man. You also

Are you sincere?"

Facing the Queen Mother's cross-examination, Jiang Zuiyao and Shao Ziqing lowered their heads in tacit agreement and remained silent.

The Queen Mother breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Since this is Qing'er's begging for mercy, this is also the first time I'm begging for mercy. In the Ai family, adults don't remember the faults of villains. Please spare Yao'er for once."

Shao Ziqing hurriedly bent over and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your forgiveness."

After finishing speaking, Shao Ziqing glanced at Jiang Zuiyao. Jiang Zuiyao knew what it meant and saluted the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

At this time, Eunuch Cui ran in and asked: "Queen Mother, have you summoned me?"

The Queen Mother frowned displeased: "Why did you come?"

Eunuch Cui said hurriedly: "I have gone to prepare the Queen Mother's supper. The servants outside the door know that the Queen Mother is having a secret conversation with someone, so they dare not come in."

The Queen Mother smiled disdainfully: "Don't play tricks in front of the Ai family. If you had known that Mr. Shaozi was outside the door, you should have come a long time ago, right? It was only after the Ai family calmed down that they dared to come in."

When Eunuch Cui saw that the Queen Mother had seen through it, he quickly smiled awkwardly and said: "Sure enough, nothing can escape the Queen Mother's discerning eyes." Then, Eunuch Cui stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, please calm down. Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao are young and will inevitably be childish."

Some, they are loyal to the country, and they hope that the Queen Mother will calm down."

The Empress Dowager understood the implication of Eunuch Cui's words. It was now the time to use Shao Ziqing and Jiang Zuiyao. If they had just been punished, regardless of other things, it would not be tolerated according to Shao Ziqing's temper, thus delaying the affairs of the Taixuan clan. Then

It's just that the gain outweighs the loss.

Eunuch Cui was indeed the old man in front of the Queen Mother. With a few words, the Queen Mother calmed down. She looked at Shao Ziqing, and since they were here, she asked: "How is the deployment of the Taixuan clan?

?”

Shao Ziqing replied: "According to the Queen Mother's instructions, the preparations are almost complete."

The Queen Mother frowned in displeasure: "Absolutely? What the Ai family wants is pretty sure."

Shao Ziqing was confused: "Everything is ready now, but the Queen Mother knows that Qin Nanxian..."

When this name came out, Jiang Zuiyao's eyes lit up. She knew that Qin Nanxian had committed treason. She also knew that Qin Nanxian was also involved in the Taixuan clan's affairs. However, no one was seen from beginning to end. She quickly pricked up her ears to listen.

, not daring to miss any clues.

Shao Ziqing only spoke half of his words, and the Queen Mother knew what he was going to say. She said ruthlessly: "In the face of the great plan of the country, nothing should be regretted."

Although the Queen Mother made her words very clear, Shao Ziqing still asked: "What the Queen Mother means is that if Qin Nanxian harms the national economy, can I kill him?"
