Chapter 219 The Queen Leaves the Palace
evening.
Yan Chu and Shen Zhishu left the Zhao family.
The couple wanted to stay here for one night and couldn't stay any longer.
At sunset, the two found a restaurant and sat upstairs, enjoying the sunset and drinking wine.
"I haven't seen my mother for a long time. Would you like to follow me into the palace tomorrow to see her?"
Yan Chu's sudden words startled Shen Zhishu, who was distracted for a moment and subconsciously clenched his hands.
Could it be that there was something wrong with what Arui said today, and he noticed something?
"Prince Cheng came to the palace to visit my mother. This reminded me that I was not close to my mother in the past. I haven't been there since I brought Su Rong back last time."
Then Yan Chu explained.
It seemed as if he just wanted to visit his mother and had no other thoughts.
Shen Zhishu was a little nervous.
"It would be inappropriate for me to go. Why don't you take the princess with you? If the Queen Mother could see the baby in the princess' belly, she might be very happy."
If anything goes wrong with Concubine Hui when she goes there, it will arouse the Queen's suspicion.
So try to avoid it.
"The child hasn't been born yet, the princess has a reckless temper, and the queen mother doesn't like her to begin with. Bringing her along will only add to her troubles."
Yan Chu said calmly.
This is a clear refusal to travel with Su Rong.
Shen Zhishu was gloating in his heart, but his brows were frowned and he looked a little worried.
"If you don't want to go now, let's go another day."
Yan Chu didn't force her, as if he didn't really want to visit the queen.
The next day, after the morning court session.
Yan Chu came to the Jiaomu Palace.
It's so rare to see her walking around in the yard, trimming the flowers and plants.
And the complexion is also very good.
Seeing her like this, Yan Chu had an illusion, as if she had suddenly become five or six years younger.
"Hasn't your sister already arrived in Kyoto? Why hasn't she come to see me yet?"
There was a trace of sadness on the queen's face.
Speaking of the third sister, Yan Chu seemed to understand why his mother looked so good.
"I'm afraid I'm exhausted from the journey, and I'm afraid you'll worry if I come now, so I want to take a few days off."
Yan Chu comforted.
But he knew very well in his heart that the assassination case had not been solved yet. If he was the third princess, she would definitely think that someone in the palace wanted her life, so how could she dare to enter the palace rashly?
"makes sense."
The queen sighed in defeat.
"In fact, if she doesn't come, I would like to leave the palace and meet her. After all, she is the first child I raised."
It's not impossible to go to the post station.
"When do you want to go, mother? I will go with you."
"That's all fine. Now the affairs of the palace are handed over to Concubine Yue to take care of. I have nothing to do."
Hearing him say this, the queen's smile deepened.
"Then let's do it today. Mother looks very good today."
It was just in time for him to go to the inn and see Su Rong’s defenses.
The Queen looked surprised.
But he quickly agreed, changed into casual clothes, and followed Yan Chu out of the palace.
But just as they left, the palace became bustling today.
In addition to Prince Cheng entering the palace to find Concubine Hui, Prince Shuo also went to Concubine Yue.
This side of the post house.
The appearance of the Queen and Yan Chu caught everyone off guard.
They arrived suddenly.
So, when they just entered the house, the prince consort suddenly attacked with a long sword, and even Yan Chu was startled.
But at that moment, the queen took a step back, and Nanny Du, who had been walking in front, dodged sideways, and subdued the prince consort with just two moves.
At that moment, it was extremely thrilling.
The queen seemed to be accustomed to such scenes and hurried in.
"Jing'an?"
She anxiously searched the house for her daughter.
The restrained prince consort was also stunned when he saw the person coming.
"Please forgive me, mother."
Jing'an, who was hiding behind the screen, also came out.
"Mother."
When he saw the queen, he ran over crying.
The moment I started crying, I felt indescribable grievance and sadness.
The Queen hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so when Jing'an started crying, her eyes also turned red.
It stayed like that for a while.
The Queen patted Jing'an on the back, comforted her softly, and helped her sit up.
"Please forgive me, mother. I thought it was an assassin, so I attacked. Are you frightened?"
If the Queen had been walking in front just now, she would not have been able to avoid it with her skills, how dangerous it would have been.
"I have Madam Du here, nothing will happen."
She smiled calmly and shook her head.
"As for you, isn't it safe to live in an inn? Have you ever been stabbed? Why are you so nervous?"
They attack people who come in without even looking at them, as if they are sure that the people who come in will definitely hurt them.
Hearing this, Jing'an raised her head with tears on her cheeks, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Mother, I really don't know what happened. I was assassinated before I even arrived in Kyoto. If it weren't for the King of Qin, I'm afraid that what you would have seen would have been my corpse."
When she saw her mother, she seemed to take off all her disguises and cried in her arms.
"How could this happen?"
The queen's hands were shaking with shock.
"You have returned to your own land, yet someone dares to harm you. Come on, your mother will take you back to the palace to see your father, and she will definitely seek justice for you."
"You have been away from home for more than ten years, yet someone dares to do this to you. This is making an enemy of the entire Yan Dynasty."
The Queen protected Jing'an with great concern.
"No, the palace is even less safe. It is better for me to live here."
But after hearing this, Jing'an quickly shook his head.
"What do you mean? Is the person who hurt you in the palace?"
How could the Queen not understand the hidden meaning of her words?
Jing'an shook his head in horror and said he didn't know.
"Chu'er, you saved your third sister, but did you track down the assassin?"
The queen immediately turned her attention to Yan Chu, who had been silent.
Jing'an had just returned to Kyoto and had no idea of the situation here, but Yan Chu knew it. Moreover, he was extremely powerful and had many spies, so how could he not have heard anything?
The word "Chu'er" made him lose consciousness for a moment.
"Your sister is now the wife of the chief of the Outer Frontier Clan. She is related to the peace between the Yan Dynasty and the Outer Frontier Clan. No matter what the reason, nothing can happen to her. Chu'er, please treat it as your mother's request. You must find the real culprit as soon as possible and protect your sister and her husband."
The Queen continued.
His eyes were full of worry.
That kind of look had never appeared in his eyes before.
After all, she was a child raised by her mother herself, so she must have treated her as her own daughter.
"Yes, I will do my best."
In fact, there were already some clues, but before there was concrete evidence, he was worried that his mother would be alerted, so he did not tell her the truth.
"Mother believes in you."
But the queen believed his words without a doubt.
Then he walked out.
Let the Queen Mother and the Third Princess slowly reminisce about the past.
The son-in-law, Hanshan, the current clan leader outside the Great Wall, also walked out the door with him.
The posthouse is very large, with ten independent courtyards, and theirs is Courtyard No. 3.
"Princess Qin has arranged ten people outside the courtyard to patrol outside the wall. Eight experts are stationed in various corners of the courtyard. There are also people watching around our room. I have seen this deployment and there is no problem. It has been peaceful these few days and nothing has happened."
After Hanshan came out, he seemed to relax a lot.
