In Cining Palace, Concubine Duan leaned on the table and sipped the imperial tea, her expression was calm, her red jade lips were slightly revealed, although she was nearly thirty years old, she still looked charming and moving, looking forward to life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yu Niangniang, the third prince is here. The palace maid guarding the door said.

"Bring it in. Concubine Duan said, put down the tea bowl in her hand, and sat up straight.

Guangxi asked Xiao Bolt and Mu Xiaoxiao to wait at the door, and walked in with the gifts.

Seeing Concubine Duan sitting on the main seat, Guangxi handed over the gifts to the subordinates of Ci'an Palace and saluted and greeted.

Concubine Duan glanced at the things that Wang Xi brought, but they were ordinary things such as ginseng and deer antlers, and there were many in Ci'an Palace.

"Guangxi, it's hard for you to get my Ci'an Palace to come here. Concubine Duan said with a smile and motioned for Guangxi to sit down.

Guangxi knew that Concubine Duan's mother liked to be pure and didn't dare to disturb him. Guangxi said.

Concubine Duan looked at Guangxi's face, looked at it for a long time, and said: "I am more and more handsome, and the longer I grow, the more I look like your concubine." ”

Guangxi's face was slightly sick, and he answered, but did not speak.

It is taboo to mention the deceased relatives in front of others, whether in the palace or among the people.

Concubine Duan would not be unaware of this etiquette, but she said it in a casual tone.

"Speaking of your concubine, that's really a big beauty, standing in the crowd, but there is nothing to do with our concubines. Concubine Duan said with a smile, ignoring Guangxi's increasingly ugly face.

Kwanghee lowered his head and his lips were closed.

Concubine Duan glanced at Guangxi, who was hanging her head, and said, "Speaking of which, you haven't even seen your mother, it's really distressing." ”

"Concubine Duan, what are you doing with me today?" asked Guangxi, not wanting to hear Concubine Duan talking about her mother in that strange tone.

Concubine Duan motioned to the people around her to step back and said slowly: "Don't you want to know the cause of your mother's death? Do you really believe that your mother died in childbirth?"

Guangxi raised his head, looked at Concubine Duan's smiling eyes, and asked, "Niangniang, what do you mean by this?

Concubine Duan nodded, sighed lightly and said: "Your mother's death is not an accident, but a conspiracy, when your mother was about to give birth, she was forced to take a slippery pill, the original intention was to have two lives, but I didn't think that your mother still tried her best to give birth to you, but before I could see you, I went west." ”

"Niangniang, how do you know these things?" asked Guangxi, unable to believe what he was hearing.

Concubine Duan looked at Guangxi, her eyes were cold, "Because I witnessed all this." ”

Guangxi's brows furrowed, staring at Concubine Duan's gorgeous face, trying his best to suppress his anger and asking, "Then why didn't you save my mother? Who killed my mother?"

Concubine Duan looked at Guangxi helplessly, and said slowly: "Do you think I don't want to save your mother? But it's the queen who wants your mother to die, what can I do with a little concubine?"

Guangxi's eyes widened, his face was full of shock and anger, and he said tremblingly: "How can it be the queen mother, it can't be her!"

"How is it impossible? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor favors your mother alone, I don't know how many people your mother has hated. At that time, your mother was pregnant with a dragon fetus and was confirmed to be a male fetus, the emperor was very happy, and it was rumored in the palace that as soon as the child was born, the emperor would change him to the crown prince. The queen is already extremely dissatisfied with the emperor's exclusive favor of your mother, and the fetus in your mother's womb threatens the status of the crown prince, how can the queen let her give birth to the child. Duanfei said.

"What about my father, why didn't my father protect my mother, and where was my father when my mother gave birth to me?" asked Guangxi, clenching his fists.

"It's no wonder that your father, the emperor, when your mother gave birth to you, was just in time for the war, and the emperor was busy dealing with the war in Mobei and was not in the palace, so he gave the queen a chance. But the queen is the master of this harem, even if the emperor is in this palace, she will still have a way. Concubine Duan said, with a bit of helplessness in her tone.

Guangxi was silent for a long time and asked, "Then why did I survive, why didn't the queen kill me?"

"That's your fate, you just came out of your mother's womb and the emperor hurried back, and the queen had no chance to start, so you saved your life. Duanfei said.

"Didn't the father have any doubts about my mother's death?" asked Guangxi, his clenched hands dug into the flesh.

Concubine Duan looked at Guangxi's painful expression and said, "The midwife told the emperor that it was because your mother had a difficult birth and lost too much blood. The mage said that the time of your birth is the time of evil, and your evil qi is too heavy, and it kills your mother. The queen bought these people and made up this lie together. The emperor was grief-stricken and felt that your birth killed your mother, so he didn't even look at you. All this is in line with the queen's heart, your mother is dead, although you are not dead, but you were born to disgust the emperor, and you will not be favored in this life. The emperor handed you over to the queen to raise, because you no longer have any threat, the queen no longer has murderous intentions against you, and I don't know if she is ashamed or what, it is not bad for you, so that you can grow up in peace. ”

Guangxi listened to Concubine Duan's words, and his whole body was cold.

Concubine Duan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Everyone who knows about this matter has been killed, and only I am alive." My brother is the prime minister of the court, and the queen will not dare to kill me, and she knows that I will be kept tight. ”

"Then why did you tell me about it now?" Kwang-hee asked.

"Because I think you have the right to know the truth, after all, you are the biggest victim in this conspiracy. Concubine Duan looked at Guangxi and said slowly.

Guangxi felt a cramping pain in his chest, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't think it's that simple, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." ”

"Huan'er has looked for you, right, are you still hesitating? I think you have nothing to hesitate about now, the queen is your enemy, do you want to watch the crown prince ascend to the throne and the queen becomes the queen mother, they are infinitely beautiful, and your poor mother is wronged Jiuquan and will not turn a blind eye?" said Duanfei, her tone excited.

Guangxi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Niangniang, you know, I am the least favored of all the princes, I can neither get the favor of my father nor any backer, I can't help anything. ”

Concubine Duan stood up, walked to Guangxi's side, pressed his shoulder, and said slowly, "Hatred will give you strength, and this power is amazing. You should join forces with us, defeat the crown prince, assist Kwanghwan to ascend to the throne, and you will also get a good position when the time comes. Otherwise, once the crown prince ascends the throne, the queen is so ruthless, she will definitely get rid of all threats, and more than a few people will die at that time. ”

Guangxi's eyes were confused as he looked at the beam of light on the ground, silent.
