Chapter 7: The Old Witch(1/2)

In the evening, when the news of Princess Zhan bullying Lan Weiyu came out, someone was sent to the palace, saying that the empress dowager invited Princess Zhan to the palace to talk about family matters.

Su Linglong realized that there was a fraud, but if she didn't go, she would wipe out the face of the empress dowager. Think about it carefully, it would be better to go.

"Miss, I'm afraid..." Cui Ling looked at her with a worried look and said softly.

Cui Ling was afraid, she was afraid too. She really didn't expect that Lan Weiyu had an empress dowager as the background. "Forget it, soldiers come to block the water and soil." Su Linglong clenched her fists slightly, her eyes firmly.

In this way, the two entered the palace together.

When Chu Junqing received the news that Su Linglong entered the palace, she couldn't sit still. "Long, prepare a carriage." That woman really didn't know how to write the word "death". As expected, women are all uneasy creatures.

"Yes, master." Leng whispered. Could it be that the master is really concerned about the princess? Miss Weiyu is indifferent to being beaten, but she is nervous about the princess...

It was obvious that I was thinking wrong.

...

At this time, Su Linglong had already arrived at the Empress Dowager's harem under the leadership of the eunuch. A year-old nanny stood outside the Empress Dowager's harp, looking at her with a smile on her face.

"I guess this is Princess Zhan. I am Madam Gui next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that Princess Zhan is not punctual and punished the Princess Zhan to kneel outside the Queen Mother's harem for an hour. This is the rule. Madam Zhan will not blame the Queen Mother!" Madam Gui looked smiling and thought to herself: The Queen Mother is really wise to tease her like this. She can't be arrogant even if she wants to be arrogant.

Su Linglong frowned slightly, but she didn't expect that the empress dowager would be so unreasonable. "The nanny was joking. Isn't this princess dare not refuse to obey the orders of the empress dowager." Isn't it just to kneel down? She knelt for her to show it.

Su Linglong was slow and said that she would kneel outside the palace gate. Cuiling, as her maid, also had to kneel together. Su Linglong should be glad that it was not noon now, otherwise she would have been sunk to death, but the dead old woman was really tricky.

Madam Gui looked at her and didn't look like she was kneeling at all, so she asked several maids to help her figure. Su Linglong glared at Madam Gui sadly.

"Oh, Princess Zhan, don't look at me like this. As the saying goes, you can sit and stand. What's more, kneeling?" Madam Gui turned around her side twice, looking gloating.

"Swish, a dog is not worthy of my princess' glare." Su Linglong said disdainfully. Old woman, I, Su Linglong, will remember you.

Cui Ling was already anxious at this time. If she had really knelt for an hour, how could the princess have to bear it?

"You... are still stubborn when you die. Haha, forget it, I won't be so quick with you. You will cry later." Madam Gui pointed at her with a sinister face.

The news of Chu Junqing's hurry to enter the palace had already reached Chu Hongdi's ears. In order not to let Chu Junqing ruin the Empress Dowager, Chu Hongdi announced to the imperial study room under the pretext of discussing state affairs.

Chu Junqing hesitated for a while before walking to the imperial study room. He wanted to see what tricks the mother and son played.

"Leng, go and protect the princess." That woman was so interesting that she could not be punished to death.

"Yes, Prince."

Half an hour later, Su Linglong began to lose her energy and her head began to get a little dizzy. This old woman is so cruel. No, she wants to cheer up. She is a special ability, how can she be so weak?

When I thought of this, my waist that had been bent down straightened again.

Cui Ling looked very uncomfortable. The princess seemed to be stronger than before. No, since she got married, she has not been the weak little princess who was only crying before. Their princess has grown up.

"Princess, don't accept it! If you kneel down like this, I'm afraid you will..."

"Cuiling, don't persuade me, I will never give in. Even if I give in, she will not let me go." Su Linglong is still very clear about this.

Cuiling lowered her head slightly, why is the princess so stubborn? She was not like this before.

"Haha, I'm pretty self-aware. Who made you offend Miss Lan? Miss Lan is the queen mother's heart. She usually has to hold it in her heart, and even the emperor treats her like a sister. And you beat Miss Lan without knowing how to do it, so be careful!" Madam Gui sarcastically, and she really felt like Madam Rong.

"A joke, she is more rude and rude first. Shouldn't this princess punish her? A lady who has no taste dares to be rude to me. I don't think it's wrong to punish her." Su Linglong said nothing wrong.

Madam Gui just snorted lightly, then twisted her waist and entered the empress dowager, probably reporting to the old witch.

An hour finally came, and Cui Ling slowly helped Su Linglong up. For Cui Lingling, such a small kneeling was nothing? She had been kneeling in Qi before. Although the princess was bullied in Qi, she had never been kneeling for such a long time.

"Princess, be careful." Cui Ling helped her up carefully, feeling very distressed.

"It's okay, I'll hurt you. Come to the palace! I'll see the old witch." Su Linglong rubbed her knees slightly, gritted her teeth and said.

Leng happened to see this scene in the dark, but he would not report to the prince with a little selfishness. In his opinion, it is most beneficial to be with Miss Lan.

Although the princess is beautiful, she can't help the prince?

Leng really thought wrongly...

As soon as Su Linglong entered the inner hall of the Empress Dowager's Palace, she straightened her back and looked dignified. Sitting in the main seat was the Empress Dowager with a kind face, and standing beside her was Madam Gui. On both sides were the emperor's two favorite concubines.

There is also a girl of similar age to Su Linglong, probably a princess.

The late emperor had five sons and three princesses. Two of the five sons died in the end, and three were left, namely Chu Hongdi, Chu Junqing, and He Xiao Wang Chuhan. Three princesses, one married far away from another country, and the other unfortunately died of illness. The other one should be the little princess Chu Yuqi in front of him.

These are all heard by Cui Ling inquiring about gossip.

"I will meet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be lucky." Su Linglong bowed slightly, her clear eyes were dim, and a decent smile appeared on her face.

Behave dignifiedly, so-called decent.

The queen mother held a cup of tea and stared at her for a long time. This is Princess Zhan, the hostage princess of Qi? She does look charming, no wonder Hong'er asked her to show mercy.

"There is no need to be too polite to the Princess Zhan. The Ai family has long heard that Princess Zhan is a master of books and rituals, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you look at it today, it is really worthy of your reputation."

If she actually praised her, she must have cheated. Moreover, she could tell that she was proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with her eyes.

"The Empress Dowager praised me for being a little bit unfamiliar with my talent and knowledge. I am definitely not as knowledgeable as the Empress here or the Princess."

As soon as Su Linglong finished speaking, the little princess Chu Yuqi spoke. "You are a woman who knows herself. She is also a little princess, but this princess still thinks I am more sensible than you." Her tone was tender, but also funny.

Su Linglong accidentally twitched the corner of her mouth. It seemed that this princess was spoiled since she was a child, which led to her IQ being a little lacking.

And the empresses just pursed their lips slightly and smiled.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. This girl is really... "Okay, Qi'er, don't be rude. She is your princess."

When she heard that Su Linglong was her imperial sister-in-law, she was reluctant to do so, "What imperial sister-in-law? She is about the same age as this princess, but I don't admit that she is my imperial sister-in-law." Chu Yuqi looked unhappy and pouted slightly, while being willful, she showed that she was simple in her scheming.

In the 21st century, if you are too simple, you will always be called brainless by others. In the royal family, simplicity is not a good thing.

The queen mother shook her head slightly, saying that this girl was spoiled by her.

"Princess Zhan, the Ai family has long wanted to drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea. Can Princess Zhan make tea for the Ai family?" The empress dowager turned the topic to her again.

"Yes, the Queen Mother." Su Linglong replied calmly. When she turned around, a cup of hot tea had been brought to her. Looking at the maid's posture, she obviously asked her to take it personally.

"Princess War, please." The maid looked at her with a villain as if she was successful, looking forward to her unlucky.

Su Linglong glanced at her and served tea with her bare hands. Hiss, it was so fucking hot. This empress dowager was really vicious, and her hands might be ripe.

In this way, Su Linglong carefully brought the tea to the empress dowager at the moment of everyone. "Empress Dowager, please have tea." Su Linglong had already brought the tea to the empress dowager at this time, and the empress dowager just smiled gently and fell off as soon as she touched the teacup, exclaiming, "Ah, do you want to burn Ai's family to death?"

The moment Su Linglong was hit by her, she was burned and her whole palm was so painful. She didn't give the old witch some medicine. She didn't have the surname Su. She took advantage of the chaos and took out smelly powder and itchy powder from her own space and sprinkled around her.

Then keep a distance from her.

"The Empress Dowager calms down, it's my concubine, not me." Su Linglong lowered her head slightly, looking like she admits her mistake. But she smiled in her heart. These two kinds of medicine powder will take effect throughout the body in less than half an hour. Moreover, once it becomes itchy or smelly, the effect will last at least five hours. In the whole world, she will have the antidote.

The Queen Mother looked at her injured palm and felt very happy. She looked understanding and said, "It's not your fault for Princess Zhan, you should step back!"

What the Queen Mother didn't know was how painful it was when her whole body was itchy and smelly.

"Yes, the Queen Mother." Su Linglong slowly retreated, and then someone prepared a seat for her.

Su Linglong, who was sitting in the seat, immediately took out anti-inflammatory cream from the space and smeared her hand slightly, at least it didn't hurt that much.

"Empress Dowager, why not give the wine you contributed just now, let Princess Zhan taste it?" A woman wearing heavy makeup and dressed in charming clothes stood up and looked at Su Linglong with a smile on her face.

Su Linglong's face remained unchanged, and her heart was boiling. Wine? Will it be so good?

"Since Concubine Hao is so generous, come here, bring the wine of Concubine Hao's Western Regions and taste it for Princess Zhan." After hearing the order of the Empress Dowager, several palace maids put a glass of wine on Su Linglong's table.

Su Linglong's face had not changed. What kind of play did this old witch sing? But they must have added this wine.

"Empress Dowager, I'm sick recently, and I'm afraid I've let the Empress Dowager down. Why not leave it to Empress Hao for her to taste it!" Su Linglong said tactfully.

"What do you mean is not to drink this glass of wine?" The empress dowager asked with a deep look, and Concubine Hao was also angry.

Su Linglong lowered her head and coughed twice. Taking advantage of the empty space, she immediately took out a detoxification pill from the space and stuffed it into her mouth at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

"Since the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hao are so enthusiastic, it is really unreasonable not to drink it." Su Linglong said suicide. Anyway, she has taken Xiedu Pills, and no matter what fatal poison it is, it will not work for her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Linglong picked up the wine glass and slowly drank the so-called fine wine.

Cui Ling was watching from the side and was sweating. Princess, she was so hard that she was still injured in her hands.

"Yes, it's such a good wine. I thank you for the Queen Mother's hospitality."

When the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hao saw that Su Linglong had already drunk, they nodded with confidence.

"Since the princess is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it's better to dance a dance for everyone to enjoy!" Concubine Hao said excitedly again.

Everyone present nodded in agreement. They also wanted to see Su Linglong's talent.

Su Linglong felt a little dizzy and a little hot. She thought to herself: What's wrong with her? Could it be that glass of wine... it's impossible, she had already taken Xiedu Pills.

Could it be... it's an aphrodisiac...

When Su Linglong thought of this, she felt bad. "Empress Dowager, all the empresses, I am sick today, so I will say goodbye first." After that, she stood up and was about to leave, but she was called again.

"Don't you think the Empress Dowager of Ai's family is a place where you can come and go whenever you want? Come and watch Princess Zhan."

"Did the Empress Dowager treat my princess like this?" A cold but majestic voice came, and a man wearing a hideous mask and white clothes slowly walked into the inner hall.

Although the mask blocked the entire face, the anger in his eyes could not conceal his turbulent anger at this moment.

When the Empress Dowager saw Chu Junqing, she looked shocked and smiled gently in a blink of an eye, "Young, why should you meet your mother like this?"

However, Chu Junqing didn't miss her, so she turned around and walked over to support Su Linglong. As soon as she touched her, she felt her body temperature was abnormally hot.
