Knowing that the phoenix talisman was stolen by Dongfang Jiechen, and the queen didn't know it, Dongfang Yunrui felt the need to go to the queen to explain clearly. Although Dongfang Juechen felt that this matter didn't matter, after all, it was not in accordance with the rules after all to bring an exiled prisoner with a phoenix talisman. Besides, this matter can be big or small, and if it is known by some people with ulterior motives, it may cause a lot of turmoil.

At that moment, Dongfang Yunrui entered the palace with Juechen to meet the queen, while Xia Qin stayed in the Rui Wang's mansion and did not show up for the time being, so as not to startle the snake.

At this time, the queen was drinking tea in Fengyi Palace, and beside her was Concubine Lin with a sickly face. Although it is sick, it has a unique beauty, such as beautiful flowers shining on the water, weak willows supporting the wind. No wonder he has been ill for many years but still has the emperor's love.

"The queen mother, the sons came to greet the queen mother. Dongfang Jiechen shouted as he walked, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

As soon as he entered the door, he sat down directly next to the queen, picked up the pastries on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. After sitting down, he saw Concubine Lin, and said, "It turns out that Concubine Lin is here, and she is rude." While pretending to get up to salute, Concubine Lin politely stopped her, and Dongfang Juechen "complied" with her meaning and sat down again.

The queen was not surprised, and looked at him lovingly. This son of his own has been spoiled as a baby since he was a child. Besides, in your own palace, what else do you have to worry about?

Concubine Lin also smiled and looked at Dongfang Juechen, although she was angry in her heart, she couldn't express it. She is the emperor's concubine, but Dongfang Jiechen treats herself as nothing, how can she not be angry. She looked around, and suddenly glanced at Dongfang Yunrui behind her, and her face was slightly shocked.

"Yun Rui has seen the queen mother and Concubine Lin. Dongfang Yunrui bowed, without any emotion, as if it was just a courtesy. In line with this, there is also the title of "queen mother".

The queen looked surprised. After all, Dongfang Yunrui rarely set foot in Fengyi Palace, even if she had the intention to show affection, he always showed people coldly and refused to be thousands of miles away. At this time, he took the initiative to come, and his joy was overwhelming.

"Lord Rui is here, sit down. Although the surprise of Concubine Lin was very incomprehensible, the queen had already beckoned Dongfang Yunrui to her side. sat down with Juechen.

"The queen has something to do. Then the concubine will come to visit another day. Concubine Lin got up, bowed slightly, and bowed, but she didn't know that her body was really weak. Still intentional, her body was about to fall, and the maid Yuemeng beside her hurriedly supported her.

"Since my sister is weak, let's go back early. Wait for my sister to get better. The main palace went to sit at my sister's place again. The queen saw that Concubine Lin had already said goodbye, and she had never had a deep relationship with her. In addition, when his baby son and Yun Rui arrived, he no longer kept her and asked Yuemeng to take care of Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin blessed her body again and turned around to leave.

"Yunrui. This time I came to Fengyi Palace, and the queen mother was really happy. Count, the number of times you have come to my palace is only a handful. But what's the matter?" said the Queen's face with excitement. It seems that Dongfang Yunrui's arrival in her Fengyi Palace is a good thing that has not been encountered in a hundred years.

Dongfang Yunrui didn't hide it, and knelt down to her: "Queen Mother." Yun Rui came this time to ask the queen mother for his guilt and ask the queen mother for forgiveness. ”

The queen didn't care about his words at all, as if as long as he came, what to ask for guilt or not to ask for guilt, it was nothing to her. He helped him up with a smile, with a smile on his face: "Don't say that, since my sister went, you rarely come to Fengyi Palace, you can come, the queen mother is very happy." ”

Hearing the queen mention his mother, Dongfang Yunrui's heart warmed, but the matter of Feng Fu was not a trivial matter, so he said bluntly: "Thank you to the queen mother." This time I came to return something to the queen mother. As he spoke, he took out the phoenix talisman.

When the queen saw this, she was shocked for a moment, and then kept calm. She saw that Concubine Lin had not yet left the palace gate, and her footsteps seemed to stop. Then he said to Wen Qian: "Wen Qian, just now Concubine Lin tasted the spring tea in our palace, and I think it is wonderful, so you can pack some and send it back to the palace with Concubine Lin." ”

After hearing this, Wen Qian, the palace maid beside her, immediately wrapped some tea leaves in satin, caught up with Concubine Lin, who had not yet gone out, and went with her.

Seeing that they were far away, the queen asked, "Yun Rui, this phoenix talisman?"

Dongfang Yunrui didn't hide it, and he didn't bother to hide it, this time he came to ask for his sin, so he said: "Please forgive the queen mother." I asked Xiaochen to borrow the phoenix talisman from the queen mother, but the queen mother was not in the palace at that time, and something happened suddenly......"

Dongfang Juechen was eating pastries, and when he heard Dongfang Yunrui taking the responsibility on himself, he frowned at the moment, quickly took a sip of tea, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and defended: "Queen Mother, don't listen to the third brother, how does he do this kind of thing? I'm thinking about borrowing the phoenix talisman from you and returning it after using it. But that day, I waited left and right and never saw the queen mother come back, so I stole it privately. The third brother didn't know. And today they found out that I had stolen it, and they brought me to plead guilty. ”

After listening to Dongfang Jiechen's words, the queen understood the cause and effect of the matter. In her heart, Yun Rui has been lonely and arrogant since she was a child, and she is disdainful of anything, so it is impossible to come to Fengyi Palace to get a phoenix talisman. And his own son, that is definitely a demon king of the mixed world, there is nothing he dare not do. And when he said this, he believed it all.

Holding the phoenix talisman, the queen still had some doubts in her heart, so she asked: "Xiaochen, what have you done with this phoenix talisman?" If you have already used it, you must quickly tell the queen mother, otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult for the queen mother to control." ”

Dongfang Yunrui had already told the queen that although he was not close to the queen, she was enough to honor the world in her heart. It's just that since the death of his biological mother, it is difficult for him to call a woman who takes his mother's place "queen mother" from the bottom of his heart, so he is often estranged.

"The queen mother, the son brought a person from the border with a phoenix talisman. Dongfang Yunrui said lightly, he saw that the queen's face had not changed, so he continued: "This person is a prisoner who was exiled seven years ago, and his name is Xia Qin. ”

Hearing the name "Xia Qin", the teacup in the queen's hand suddenly didn't hold it steady, and was caught by Dongfang Jiechen.

He handed it to the queen, and saw that her face had turned pale and she put her hand on her forehead.

After a while, the queen fixed her eyes and asked softly, "You finally found out there." ”

It can be seen from the queen's expression. Xia Qin is indeed an important person.

The queen retreated, leaving only her, Dongfang Jiechen, and Yun Rui.

"Queen Mother, do you know what happened back then?" Although many people say that the queen and the death of the first queen are inseparable, otherwise why did the first queen just die, it was she who ascended the throne of the queen. But Dongfang Yunrui never believed these rumors, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about re-investigating the old case for so many years.

The queen shook her head: "Back then." My sister was inexplicably poisoned. Xia Qin's examination result was that the food was restrained, and my sister did not get even medical treatment, so she went. Xia Qin is the head of Tai Hospital. And he is upright, and no one does not believe his words. ”

The queen mother only stated what happened back then, but she did not express her opinion. You've had doubts, too. Isn't it?" Dongfang Yunrui asked when he saw that the queen was thoughtful.

Although he knew about the events of the year from Xia Qin. But in the end, it is a family's words, and the things of the year need to be verified by each other to prove it. Otherwise, I believe in Xia Qin. If he is lying, then the lack of gain from the border pass this time is still small, and framing the concubine is not a light crime. It doesn't matter who it is. I can't afford to take that risk. Therefore, Dongfang Yunrui hopes to know the clues from the queen.

It's not that the queen doesn't want to say it, it's just that she doesn't know how to say it. She just sued Dongfang Yunrui. Back then, she once saved a maid beside Concubine Lin, named Xiaoya. At that time, she was dying, covered in blood, and ran to Fengyi Palace to beg herself to save her. said that Concubine Lin wanted to kill her, and she knew a secret.

"What's the secret?" Dongfang Yunrui asked, knowing these fragments, and then connecting them together, he would know the whole thing.

The queen didn't hide it, she said: "Or Xiaoya thanked me for saving my life, so she told me that Concubine Lin kidnapped Mrs. Xia Qin, and also said that she wanted to release Mrs. Xia privately, but Concubine Lin knew." Concubine Lin was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she would kill people and kill her. ”

Actually, it's clear when it comes to this, it's just why Xiaoya wants to release Mrs. Xia.

The queen explained that Xiao Ya told her that Xiao Ya was seriously ill back then, and it was Xia Qin's help that brought her back to life. The grace of saving her life, Xiaoya has always remembered it. Seeing that Concubine Lin wanted to threaten Xia Qin with Mrs. Xia for her own selfish desires, she moved the idea of saving people. It's just that he didn't succeed in his career, and he was discovered by Concubine Lin, and he almost lost his life.

Dongfang Juechen's eyes lit up: "In this case, let's go find Xiaoya and testify with Xia Qin, and we can always bring Concubine Lin to justice." ”

Dongfang Juechen admires himself very much, he can think of such a clever method.

Unexpectedly, the queen poured a basin of cold water: "Xiaochen, if I could, I would have used Xiaoya to avenge my sister a long time ago." It's just that at that time, I placed Xiaoya in Fengyi Palace and asked people to protect her, but I didn't expect that Concubine Lin had already poisoned Xiaoya, so within a few days, Xiaoya died. ”

Dongfang Juechen sighed, such a great opportunity was wasted.

However, Dongfang Yunrui was not disappointed, after all, he could know from the queen that what Xia Qin said was true, and the queen mother was indeed killed by Concubine Lin. As long as this fact is confirmed, everything else can be solved. Ling Pingyang once said that Concubine Lin has been ill for a long time, and there must be residual poison in her body. And Xia Qin also hid the poison needle in his hand that tested the queen's diet back then. If the toxicity of the two is consistent, there is no doubt that Concubine Lin's conspiracy can be proven.

At present, Dongfang Yunrui is worried about whether the queen will be implicated because of Feng Fu, after all, it is a terrible thing to release prisoners privately.

When the queen saw that he was worried, she asked him what the reason was. Dongfang Yunrui told the truth, his eyes were full of guilt.

The queen didn't think so, she smiled and said: "For seven years, I have always wanted to avenge my sister, but I am in the inner courtyard of the deep palace all day long, and there is no way to investigate." Now, you can help your queen mother, and a small phoenix talisman is nothing. Even if the emperor blames, I will not have any regrets. ”

When Dongfang Juechen heard this, he hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to the queen: "The queen mother is well aware of the righteousness, come, drink a cup of spring tea to moisten your throat." Don't worry, with me and the third brother, the queen mother will be fine. ”

Looking at Dongfang Juechen's courteous appearance, the queen was full of spring breeze. Dongfang Juechen's relationship with Yun Rui is so good, it reminds her of the deceased Empress. Back then, they were so good. Even, when the first empress died, she asked the emperor to make herself empress. This situation is like yesterday.

Therefore, she has always asked Juechen to accompany Yun Rui, and she also silently cares about him, letting him know that even if the queen mother is gone, he will not be alone.

No matter how indifferent Dongfang Yunrui is, it is impossible not to be moved. He knelt down: "The queen mother's kindness to her sons, the sons and daughters remember it in their hearts. ”

The queen hurriedly helped him up and told him not to be so polite. As long as brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, mothers, and sons, she has no other ideas.

The matter of Feng Fu has been explained clearly, and I think that tomorrow the emperor will have something to say when he asks, and at that moment, Dongfang Yunrui and Jiechen will be relieved. Since there are other people in the house, Dongfang Yunrui wants to bid farewell to the queen.

Although the queen was reluctant, she also knew that no one could stop Dongfang Yunrui from doing something, so she let him go.

Dongfang Jiechen also put down the pastry, clapped his hands, and said, "Queen Mother, I'm leaving." Then he chased him out, and the queen looked at her little son and shook her head helplessly.

It's just that before he reached the door, Dongfang Yunrui turned back again. It's just that this time he seemed a little embarrassed, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it for a long time, which made the queen a little embarrassed, she had never seen him like this.

"Yun Rui, do you still have something to say? ”

Hearing the queen's words, Dongfang Yunrui made up his mind. He asked, "Queen Mother, Father, did you say that you want to marry the third lady of Murong Mansion to the second brother?"

"The third lady of Murong Mansion, but Qingxue with Yirong?" Because Murong Qingxue and Yirong are good friends, coupled with the excellent performance at the Spring Festival banquet, the queen has some impressions.

Dongfang Yunrui nodded, looking at the queen fixedly.

When the queen saw that his eyes were firm, she had already expected that he would definitely like Murong Qingxue. immediately said: "During the time you left, Concubine Lin did ask the emperor for marriage, but the emperor did not refuse, but he did not make an order. If you already have this intention, the queen mother will help you. ”

When Dongfang Yunrui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thanked the queen again.

At the end, the queen asked: "Yun Rui, the princess of Xuanbing Kingdom, how do you settle it?" The emperor intends to point her out to you. ”

For Qianlan, Dongfang Yunrui's face obviously didn't matter. He only said one sentence: "Erchen already has one person living in his heart, and there is no extra space for others to live." Princess Qianlan, just think she was infatuated and wrongly paid. ”

The queen understood, so she stopped asking.

As far as love goes, just one must be you, and you are enough. (To be continued.) )
