The palace maid called her Miss Xu Jiu, and she said it was certain that it was not a fake, but this palace maid was indeed something she had never seen before. So how did this palace maid know her identity? However, the fragrance on her body was indeed the incense she gave to the Queen, and it was the fragrance that could only be left after a long time of trouble. It can be seen that she did not lie. She should have served the Queen for many years, so she should have really come to find her on the order of the Queen, but how did the Queen know that she was still alive and was coming to Yi Palace?

With doubts in his heart, Xu Shu didn't delay and nodded. She took advantage of the time when people were busy putting out the fire and had no time to take care of her, and left the palace maid silently.

The palace maid is the one around the Empress. Now the Empress is favored by the holy people. Everyone in the palace is flattering to the people who work in Kunning Palace and will never offend them. Therefore, there is no one who stops them and interrogates them along the way, and he arrives at Kunning Palace safely.

"The folk girl has met the Queen!"

"It's really you!" The Queen said in surprise. Although Xu Shu had taken off the cloth tape that had been covered all year round, the Queen still recognized her at a glance. However, the Queen did not expect that the half face covered by the cloth tape was also a stunning appearance, and it was no less beautiful than Shuyuan, a famous family known for her appearance in the capital. Unfortunately, the face was dragged down by the dull eyes.

"It's a folk girl!" After the old friends reunite and a little joy, Xu Shu felt more cautious in her heart.

It was Xu Shu, the queen smiled with satisfaction. Her hard work was not in vain. She looked at Meiren with praise again. It was thanks to her alertness that she realized that the second grandmother Liang was abnormal. It was also because of her persistence that she made herself determined to come to Yigong to find out.

Meiren Li smiled flatteringly and said, "Empress, I'm not wrong at all. I'm the cousin of the Xu family!" Meiren Li said that she was not wrong, but still looked at Xu Shu carefully, and truly remembered Xu Shu's appearance before looking away.

It turned out that Li Ying'er told the Empress about this. No wonder the Empress knew it! It seems that although Li Ying'er did not recognize herself in person in the imperial garden that day, she was also suspicious. Then she followed the relationship between Xu Yan and the Liang family and successfully touched Laiyi Palace. She knew where she was hiding in the palace, but she didn't know what they knew besides these...

Xu Shu sighed silently. The entire bedroom was filled with the fragrance that she knew very well, but she felt so strange at this moment. The smell that was so elegant that it was almost impossible to smell overnight could be so strong. The frequency and dosage of this fragrance were far beyond the limit that normal people could withstand. The Queen knew it, but she still did it. Queen... was the Queen... still the Queen before?

"I thought you were really... gone!" The queen sighed, "When the emperor told me in person that you had passed away from illness, I could hardly believe that such a well-behaved girl would be gone if she said nothing? But even your ashes were sent back, I couldn't believe it! I care too much, and even the Empress Dowager was sad for a long time. I didn't expect you... to be alive, just be alive!" The queen showed a very smile on her face, and her hands unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen. Xu Shu was still alive, so her prince had hope!

"Cousin, what's going on?" Li Ying'er asked in confusion, "You haven't already..."

"Yes, what's going on? The magistrate of Pingliang personally wrote a letter to inform you of your death, and even sent your bones back. The emperor rewarded the Xu family heavily for this, but you were alive. What happened..." After sighing, the queen couldn't help but become curious.

Xu Shu must have said the explanation to Xu Jing and Xu Sheng and the others again, but she missed the incident of Zhuang Li. "At that time, the daughter of the minister was traveling in Pingliang City and accidentally separated from the marriage brigade team. Rouran is about to enter winter again. When the road is snowed, it will be difficult to move forward. The marriage brigade team is in a hurry to rush to the road and cannot be delayed. For the sake of reputation, this matter should not be made public. The county magistrate pretended to be a civilian girl and died of illness. In this way, the envoy of Rouran also gave an explanation to the envoy. It was too late to know all this, so he had to return to the capital!"

"So that's it!" The Empress suddenly realized that this was indeed the most common practice for officials. When encountering such a thing, their first reaction was not how to get the person back, but how to cover up the matter and not affect their political achievements. She couldn't help but scold her, "These officials are accustomed to whitewashing peace, and a living person will tell them to be gone in a few words!"

"The county magistrate did this for the sake of the overall situation!"

"You are kind-hearted and still help him talk. Pingliang is thousands of miles away. I guess you have suffered a lot all the way back!" The queen sighed and asked again, "Where is the eldest prince in Laiyi Palace, is it difficult for you?"

Xu Shu tightened her heart, pinched her sleeves and lowered her head. The queen asked about the situation after she went to Laiyi Palace, but not how she entered Laiyi Palace. The queen was confused about a person who should have died but was alive, but she did not doubt that a person who should have had the appearance of the palace. Could it be that the queen knew something? If she didn't know, why didn't she ask?

Li Ying'er thought Xu Shu had suffered in the Yi Palace, but she was afraid of the power of the eldest prince and did not dare to say it. She comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid of cousin. If you suffer grievances, just say it out, and the Queen will make the decision for you!"

"Thank you for your care, but the girl didn't suffer any grievances!"

Xu Shu was telling the truth. It was what she wanted in her heart. The eldest prince was determined to rely on her to win the bet director's face. How could he make things difficult for her?

But Li Ying'er didn't believe it, and didn't pay attention to the polite alienation in Xu Shu's words, so she simply pulled Xu Shu's hand and held it in her hand, "Cousin, no one in this palace knows that the eldest prince is cruel. If there is any dissatisfaction, punish the palace servants. In the entire palace, the servants who come to Yi Palace have the most diligent change. I don't believe you say you are not wronged. It must be that your cousin, you are afraid of the eldest prince and dare not tell the truth!" Li Ying'er pinched Xu Shu slightly, as if she was suggesting something, and Xu Shu lowered her head ambiguously.

The queen didn't believe what Xu Shu said, but she was not as aggressive as Li Ying'er, and her tone was much gentler. "Forget it, you can only look at your appearance and know what's going on, but as long as you are safe, you won't mention anything else!"
