Hong Aya glanced at Shangguan Fang cautiously and cast a slightly inquiring look.

Shangguan Fang laughed dryly, stepped forward, and stood between Hong Aya and the Queen Mother, seemingly looking at the Queen Mother, but in fact, he had already protected Hong Aya and the child behind him.

He bowed to the Queen Mother and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother has been immersed in the palace for so many years, how could she not see Shangguan Fang's careful thoughts?

She wasn't in a hurry, she just stared at Hong Aya and asked in a deep voice, "The mourning family asked you, is this child a different pupil?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Fang and Hong Aya glanced at each other.

Red Aya nodded slowly, "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother's complexion changed, "One eye is blue, and the other eye is black?"

Red Aya nodded again.

The Queen Mother took two steps back, and an old face instantly drooped.

Her originally wise eyes gradually became cloudy, and her dark pupils slowly dilated, and she sat weakly on the edge of the table, resting her hand on the table, hanging her head, and muttering to herself, "How can this be?

"The Queen Mother. ”

Seeing this, Shangguan Fang 'chuckled' in his heart.

Although he walked towards the Queen Mother, he waved his hand to Hong Aya behind him, signaling her to hold the child farther away.

Hong Aya held the child in her arms, shrunk in the corner on the side, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Fang squatted under the Queen Mother's knees, raised his head slightly, looked at the Queen Mother's eyes, and asked softly.

The Queen Mother's vicissitudes of life wandered back and forth on Shangguan Fang's body, and then she was cautious and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember Concubine Qi?"

Shangguan Fang's back stiffened, stared at the Queen Mother in surprise, and nodded slowly, "I heard that Concubine Qi gave birth to a son of the troubled dynasty and was rejected by the first emperor. The kid ......."

As he spoke, he glanced at the red aya in the corner of the wall, and lowered his voice a few points again, "It's a different pupil." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Shangguan Fang's gaze twice, and nodded slowly, but there was a bit of helpless sadness in her nod, "Not only that, Concubine Qi also died of internal organ failure." ”

"What?"

This time, it was Shangguan Fang's turn to be surprised.

He opened a pair of eyes, stared at the Queen Mother in surprise, and said in an incredulous voice, "How can this be?"

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, obviously what she was going to say next was something she was unwilling to face.

After a long time, the Queen Mother told the story of the year.

Back then, the Queen Mother was only one of the many concubines of the first emperor.

She has never fought or grabbed all her life, so she is not favored among the concubines of the first emperor.

It is strange to say that Concubine Qi, as the most favored concubine of the first emperor, can only talk to the queen mother.

The two formed a rare close friend in this deep palace, supported each other, and walked through the calculating hearts in the deep palace.

Concubine Qi trusted the Queen Mother who was still Hui Concubine very much, and asked Hui Concubine to help the imperial doctor take care of her pregnancy from pregnancy to childbirth.

Therefore, Concubine Hui knows the most about Concubine Qi's affairs.

It was a stormy night, and Concubine Qi used the last bit of strength in her body to give birth to a tiger-headed child.

When the child was born, his eyes were closed, and instead of crying like an ordinary child, he held his fingers in his mouth and was quiet.

Just when the imperial doctor and the midwives thought that Concubine Qi had given birth to a stillborn baby and was about to go back, the child suddenly cried loudly.

The midwife was busy helping the child to coax, but when she walked to the child's side, the midwife screamed and fled the door in panic.

Only then did the imperial physician come up, and after seeing the child's pair of different eyes, he almost fell to the ground.

When the first emperor learned of this, his hands trembled and he couldn't hold the pen.

The queen of that year had long been jealous of Concubine Qi's favor, and as soon as this incident came out, she led the concubines in the palace, claiming to clean up the palace and eradicate the demons.

However, the first emperor refused to let the queen and others break into Concubine Qi's bedroom.

Later, everyone said that the first emperor loved Concubine Qi and refused to let her be humiliated by the queen and others until he died.

However, Concubine Hui, who was waiting in the dormitory at that time, knew best.

The first emperor did not refuse to let the queen and others break into the dormitory, but at that time, Concubine Qi was already dying, even if the queen and others broke in, they would die without a problem.

The rest of the story has already spread among the people.

The Taoist of the Golden Silk Temple said that Concubine Qi gave birth to a demon who caused chaos in the dynasty, and Concubine Qi became a goblin transformed by a thousand-year-old fox in the eyes of the people.

After listening to the Queen Mother's narration, Shangguan Fang turned his head in surprise and glanced at the child in Hong Aya's arms with a slightly panicked look.

"What the Queen Mother means is that this child ......"

"The current situation is too similar to Concubine Qi back then. ”

The Queen Mother frowned, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice.

"Queen Mother, Xi'er is definitely not a demonic person. Since Xi'er entered the palace, she has put others first everywhere, and how much joy she has sent to the Queen Mother. Queen Mother ......"

Without waiting for Shangguan Fang to finish speaking, the Queen Mother had already waved her hand, don't look over, and looked at Lu Yunxi on the couch, "Of course the mourning family knows that Xi'er is not a monster." Before Concubine Qi died, she told the mourning family that she was not a monster at all, and she had to do this just to protect the world. ”

Shangguan Fang raised his brows in confusion.

The mourning family has not understood this for many years, and now it seems that only when Xi'er is healed can he know the reason. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Shangguan Fang's heart calmed down a little.

He let out a long sigh and followed the Queen Mother's gaze, "However, Xi'er's illness is now helpless even for the Imperial Doctor and Si Wei, what else can be done?"

The Queen Mother's heart sank slightly, and after thinking for a while, she said to Shangguan Fang, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the mourning family will not give up." Back then, the mourning family was just a concubine, and they could only watch Concubine Qi's sister die and struggle, and finally die on the sickbed. Now, the mourning family will never let the same thing happen to Xi'er!"

When Shangguan Fang and Hong Aya heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and their minds were much calmer.

At this time, the child in Hongyan's arms cried very appropriately, as if he knew that someone was willing to save his life, and cried in gratitude.

Red Aya wiped the tears from her cheeks and shook the child's eyes from side to side.

The Queen Mother waved her hand at Hong Aya and said dotingly, "Bring the child over to the mourning family to take a look." ”

Hong Aya agreed, hugged the child, stepped forward quickly, and carefully placed the child in front of the Queen Mother.

The little red mouth, the tender white skin, and the chubby little hands, each of them is just an ordinary child, but the eyes are bright, which is completely different from ordinary children.
