Chapter 456: Critical

Empress Liu was sitting precariously, and when she saw Emperor Yan coming, she was slowly walked in front of Emperor Yan with the help of Xing'er, and saluted with a calm expression: "The concubines see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Emperor Yan's eyes moved, let her get up, and slowly walked to the soft couch.

"Does the queen know about the prime minister?" As soon as the words fell, he glanced at her with a light smile, but his eyes were extremely deep.

"The concubines have heard about it. Queen Liu was like an outsider, without a trace of waves, and said lightly, "My father committed a mortal crime, and although the concubine is a child, she also knows that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and now she has no shame to face the emperor." For so many years, the concubines have rarely begged the emperor, one person does things and one person is responsible, although the father is at fault, but the mother is innocent, and the emperor is asked to be lenient with the daughter of the Yuan family. ”

Queen Liu personally opened her mouth to intercede, as if she was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she had the demeanor of a general who was the mother of a country.

Emperor Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"I will consider it at my discretion, these days, the queen is also tired, let's rest for a while, and let Concubine Qi and others help take care of the affairs of the harem. ”

Empress Liu raised her eyelids, and her eyes darkened. Even if she didn't participate in this matter, she couldn't escape the involvement, and the emperor wouldn't trust her anymore for a while.

deprived her of palace rights this time, she was already suspicious and dissatisfied.

She half-bowed: "The concubine obeys the holy order." ”

Emperor Yan stood up, sighed, and the voice reached Queen Liu's ears slowly: "Su'er, you and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have been married for a few years, but over the years, I can't stand you." I can turn a blind eye to the past, and I just hope that you will be able to do it yourself in the future. ”

Empress Liu was stunned, Emperor Yan had already walked away, and she had not yet come to her senses. Su'er, is her maiden name, from Concubine Liu to the queen, she is about to forget the name Su'er, and she doesn't know how many years have passed since the last time the emperor called her, and vaguely remembers that the last time was at their wedding ceremony and the night of candles in the cave room.

At that time, the emperor was handsome and chic, gentle and considerate, relying on himself in everything, and did not hesitate to look for famous doctors for his illness, but now, she is old, and she and the emperor are no longer human.

She said abruptly: "Xing'er, why did you say that my father did this, there is nothing in this palace now." ”

Before the emperor didn't return to Beijing, she said those words to the old fox, just to take revenge on Concubine Yue and the third prince, but she never really moved this thought.

Hearing the news of the emperor's return, she hurriedly sent someone to warn the old fox not to act rashly in the near future, eliminate the speculation in the emperor's heart, and regain trust. Unexpectedly, the old fox was so ambitious that he did it alone, and he didn't even tell her about it.

The matter was revealed, and she also suffered.

This old fox is clever and stupid for a while.

Uncle may not be able to wake up in this life, and the Yuan family is not there overnight, and she only has more than a hundred disciples left in the Medicine King Valley. They live outside the city, the palace is heavily guarded, and the old fox forced the palace last night, if something happens in the future, it will not be able to solve the fire from far away.

And this posterior position, which everyone can't ask for, is now useless. Without the emperor's favor, not even a concubine is as good. And her only reliance on Hao'er will always leave her.

She fought all her life, and in the end she got nothing, which is extremely sad.

Xing'er said: "Niangniang, you still have slaves and maids, and slaves and maids will always stay by your side." Queen Liu smiled and said nothing, but her heart was endlessly sad.

……

At night, Queen Liu secretly sent someone to send a letter to Ye Lan, and the two of them went to the prison together to see Prime Minister Yuan for the last time.

Empress Liu had never seen such vicissitudes of life as Prime Minister Yuan, taking off her fancy clothes, like an ordinary jailer, haggard.

Seeing someone coming, Prime Minister Yuan raised his head slightly, his eyes lit up, and the words in his mouth blurted out: "Niangniang, Lan'er." ”

Empress Liu commanded, "Open the door." ”

The jailer was a little embarrassed, although the person standing in front of him was the queen's mother, but the people inside were criminals, and they would be beheaded after the autumn, if they opened the door easily, something would be in trouble.

Empress Liu's face sank, and the jailer lowered his head and looked cramped.

Empress Liu sneered: "What, can't this palace want to see his father?" Her eyes were extremely cold, sweeping over the jailer's face, the jailer's palms were soaked with sweat, but he still didn't let go.

Queen Liu didn't say a word, staring at him and smiling lightly.

In the middle of the ring, Queen Liu's lips twitched, and she was about to speak, when a jailer behind her trotted up to her and opened the big lock of the cell door.

The jailer said respectfully, "Queen Mother, please." Empress Liu glanced at the original jailer, didn't think about why the jailer took the initiative to open the door for herself, and slowly walked in.

Prime Minister Yuan stood up tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and arched his hand: "Weichen see the queen's mother, the mother is auspicious." ”

Empress Liu answered and asked him to get up.

Ye Lan strode forward, helped Prime Minister Yuan, and said worriedly: "Father-in-law, are you okay?" ”

Prime Minister Yuan covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times, and it took a long time to calm down, and said: "Niangniang, the criminal has committed a heinous crime, which has affected Niangniang, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me." ”

The two of them stayed in prison for about half an hour and talked for a long time before they went out. Prime Minister Yuan committed the crime of forcing the palace to rebel, and the attitude of the jailer changed drastically, and he suffered a lot in it.

Queen Liu and Ye Lan saw it in their eyes and sighed again and again. Walking outside the prison, after Queen Liu and Ye Lan separated, she suddenly looked up at the sky and smiled.

Su Zixu's morning sickness has been committed again, and he has been vomiting non-stop since midnight, mixed with blood, and it is useless to take any medicine.

The palace people in the surviving palace were in a hurry, and Liuli stayed beside Su Zixu and ordered a little palace maid to inform Emperor Yan. The little palace maid ran to the heart hall non-stop, and bumped into a person halfway through, she covered her forehead and took a few steps back, raised her head, and in front of her was another palace maid with eyes, she was stunned, just bypassed her side, the little palace maid seemed to be deliberately against her, and was strictly blocked in front of her.

The little palace maid was in a hurry, and walked to the right for a while, thinking that she could get rid of the palace maid, but she didn't expect that she couldn't get rid of it.

She glanced at the clothes of the palace maid standing in front of her, and was anxious and angry: "The slave maid is in a hurry, and I ask my aunt to give way." ”

The little palace maid smiled calmly: "It's clear that you are in my way, so where are you going in such a hurry?"

"The slave maid is going to raise ......" The little palace maid felt that something was wrong in the middle of her words, and suddenly stopped, and glanced at the little palace maid in front of her suspiciously.

Her bright eyes revealed a sense of wit, her face was vigilant, and she changed her words and said: "The slave maid was ordered by the master to go to the imperial dining room to bring a meal back to the palace, if the time is delayed, you will have to be scolded again, and please ask your aunt to let the slave and maid over." ”

The little palace maid walked forward as she spoke, where would the little palace maid in front of her let her succeed, and she would not give an inch.

She smiled meaningfully: "Are you the palace maid of the Immortal Palace? You are so flustered, is it that something happened to Concubine Yue." ”

The little palace maid frowned, she had never seen this aunt, how could she see her identity at a glance.

Thinking of this, the little palace maid suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, and no longer said anything to her, and ran quickly to the corridor next to her.

Before she could run a few steps, several palace maids suddenly came out from all around, smiling around her.

The little palace maid was annoyed, and she could see that these people had other purposes, so she asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
