Huo Guang was horrified, and hurriedly wanted to cover Huo Xian's mouth, but it was too late, these words, like nails, fell to the ground, shaking down the fluttering sound, stabbing him upset.

He glared at Huo Xian.

Huo Guang took the lead and stepped forward to bow down: "The eldest princess Chitose Yongtai!" ”

The old man entered through the temple door, crutches poking at the ground, and the shrill sound of "knock-knock-" echoed in the hall.

The courtiers gathered and bowed down.

Ah Chi did not speak. She glanced at Huo Guang, with obvious displeasure on her face.

Huo Guang faced this old man, a little submissive, standing aside with his hands down, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

This Ah Chi's mother-in-law is the eldest princess who has no name, and she has never been named in the world, but the Han dynasty and the opposition all know that this character's identity is extremely important and cannot be offended.

When this mysterious mother-in-law Ah Chi appeared in the Han Palace, no one can say. The court only knows that during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, this mysterious Ah Chi taught Emperor Xiaowu to favor him very much, and wanted to add the throne. But this Ah Chi is extremely strange, pushing away all the favors and choosing only a place to live in the Nagato Palace, which has been abandoned for many years. Emperor Xiaowu couldn't resist it, and if Ah Chi asked for it, His Majesty would agree. As a result, the Nagato Desert became Ah Chi's long-term residence.

After Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, Emperor Zhao had great respect for this mysterious Han figure, and listened to and obeyed Ah Chi's request to continue to live in Changmen Palace.

This Ah Chi mother-in-law, in the eyes of everyone in the Han Palace, seems to be a mystery. She has an innate majesty in her, and she is always respected.

Even at this time, when she put down her crutches, she had tired eyes and a wrinkled forehead, like an ordinary old man. But she can still intimidate and teach people to be respected.

For example, Huo Guang. Huo Guang stood in front of her, and he was afraid of her.

Ah Chi walked over and said lightly: "Huo Guang, you have been in charge of the three dynasties, and you have worked hard and made great achievements, and I see it in my eyes." When it comes to the upwards, there are not half of them who can share the credit with you. Alas......"

Huo Guang didn't know what Ah Chi Cun was thinking, and if he wanted to say such a thing to him, he said uneasily: "The old minister is afraid...... The old minister's actions all depend on the virtue of His Majesty! The eldest princess said this...... The old minister is really scared! ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of," the old woman raised her hand and signaled Huo Guang not to be so restrained, "You have gone through three generations of kings, and so has my old woman, Emperor Xiaowu's benevolent eyebrows and eyes, and Emperor Xiaozhao's cute figure when he was a child, now his eyes are closed, and the light and shadow are shaking heavily in front of my wife's eyes...... The old woman just wants to tell you that if General Huo feels that there is no one in the court to tell you how much you miss the ancestors, you still have a place to go-you can come to the Changmen Palace to find me, I know you-"

The implication of Ah Chi's words is that I know you are full of loyalty.

Huo Guang was a little moved, he had already ignored the meaning of Ah Chi's words, but remembered that Ah Chi said that they were both companions of the three dynasties, and what they wanted to say must have a lot in common.

Huo Guang was very moved: "If the eldest princess has an order, the old minister Huo Guang will never give up!" ”

Ah Chi shook his head: "It's not necessary to die, it's just ...... The old woman did have a mandate to talk to the general. ”

There is a desire to entrust to say, which seems to be confidential, but look at Ah Chi's meaning, but if he wants to say it here, he does not have the slightest intention of avoiding the people in the hall.

"The old minister listened-" Huo Guangbiao was loyal, and said in surprise: "Here? ”

Ah Chi said: "Let's talk about it here...... The old woman said a few words casually, and it didn't matter. She looked around, and then instructed Huo Guang as if no one was around: "The general thinks about the world, cares about the common people, and respects the old body." I also hope that the general will never forget his original intention in the future, and think about the country! ”

Huo Guang was stunned, then nodded.

He understood what Ah Chi meant, Ah Chi was afraid that he would support the new monarch to sit on the dragon throne, and he would rely on his high merits, and he would be afraid that he would hinder the new monarch and teach His Majesty to be unable to let go.

I am also afraid that he will turn against the water and become a traitor from a loyal minister of the Three Dynasties.

"The eldest princess just rest assured, the old minister is the Han Sheji, the liver and brain are smeared, and she will not give up!"

Huo Guang knelt on the ground and said a long word.

At this time, his eyes were full of tears, Princess Achi's expectations for him were so high and deep, and he swore in his heart that he must be a loyal minister and create an invincible foundation for Zuo Xinjun!

I only heard Ah Chi laugh and whispered: "Don't call me 'eldest princess', I'm not, call me so, others will laugh at it." ”

Huo Guang felt ashamed in his heart, and just wanted to say something, Ah Chi slowly leaned down in front of him...... He was startled, and a pair of withered old hands appeared in front of him......

It turned out that Ah Chi gave him a lot of face, and in front of everyone, regardless of his old age, he leaned over to help him.

Huo Guang was in tears, saying "don't dare, don't dare"......

He was extremely clear in his heart, and couldn't help but think that this Ah Chi actually had the legacy of Emperor Xiaowu, and his means of buying people's hearts were quite powerful.

He was stunned.

Ah Chi urged: "General, the old man is old, this bent ...... If you don't get up again, I'm afraid your old body will fall down. ”

The voice is kind and gentle, without the slightest reproach. This trick is used on Lao Chen, no matter who it is, there is no one who will not be bought. Naturally, I respect this "eldest princess" from the heart.

Huo Guang was also fully convinced.

And he stretched out his hand.

The eldest princess, Ah Chi, helped him up.

The two were extremely close to each other. Huo Guanggang wanted to pay homage to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess pulled his sleeve, making him unable to move.

Huo Guang was taken aback.

Ah Chi approached him and said to Huo Guang in a very low voice: "General Huo, the old body is in awe, and the old body has never doubted General Huo's ability. It's just that...... A person of great material can govern the community, but he may not be able to govern the back house, which I hope the general will remember. Ah Chi coughed, his voice was even more subtle, almost inaudible: "General Huo must be vigilant in the back house...... Since the old body has helped the sick and has become the emperor, and the clan has no objections, then the Han family should obey the new emperor! The new emperor comes from the people, this discussion, if you talk about it again, should be disrespectful! And the new queen, since she is the wife of His Majesty, she should be the queen of my Han Dynasty! I also hope that General Huo will give him three points of thin noodles, so don't be embarrassed. ”

Huo Guang was suddenly frightened! He naturally knew the meaning of the eldest princess Ah Chi's words, and he fully respected His Majesty and the queen, but his inner house refused!

Huo Guang retreated in fright: "The old minister is frightened, panicked...... The old minister remembers the teachings of the eldest princess! Must...... The house ...... after the treatment"

Ah Chi nodded in satisfaction.

Huo Guang saw that the eldest princess had retreated, so he secretly glanced at his wife as a warning.

Huo Xianfang was a little far away, and he didn't hear what Ah Chi said, but at this time, he only saw his husband staring at him, and he felt bad in his heart. Seeing the eldest princess smiling and greeting the new emperor and the new queen, the eldest princess Ah Chi, who was all respectful and frightened by the Han family, was smiling at the people's wife Xu Pingjun at this moment...... She was very sad in her heart, gritted her teeth with hatred, and thought to herself, if her daughter became a king, how graceful and luxurious she should be!

Ah Chi lived in the middle of His Majesty and the Queen, and was supported by the two to sit on a high seat, with infinite scenery. The ministers were even more puzzled in private, and the new ministers who didn't know what kind of identity was this old woman who lived in the Changmen Palace, who had always lived in a simple place? I heard that when Emperor Xiaozhao was alive, he obeyed her as an elder, and now he has a new monarch, although this new monarch is also from the Han family, but after all, he is long in the people, how can he respect this old woman so much?

Speculation is speculation, and no one dares to talk about it in the open.

Ah Chi took the queen's hand and said, "This is my great Han Kuang to help the virtuous queen of Mingjun!" After today, the owner of the pepper house is Queen Xu! May all the ministers be inspired by the wind of the virtuous queen, this is to bow! ”

After that, he took the lead in bending down and bowing down, and knocked the queen with his old body: "The old body knocks on the queen's virtue, may the queen be happy and happy, and a thousand years old Yongtai!" ”

Xu Pingjun was so frightened that he retreated, and he was busy pulling, but it was too late, and the old man knelt beside her and bowed down.

She looked at the emperor a little helplessly, and the emperor also looked at her, giving her an expression of "I am helpless". Unable to bear it, Xu Pingjun even leaned over, and didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, so he only asked Granny Ah Chi to get up.

The courtiers also knelt down: "The minister greets the queen!" I wish the mother a long and happy life! ”

At that moment, she suddenly felt a kind of enthusiasm poured into her chest, as if the whole world could worship her and respect her, she stood on a high position, and the courtiers knelt down and called her a thousand years old.

She is the woman of the emperor. From that moment on, she felt that she had more of a world than the emperor.

This feeling is addictive.

It turns out that entering the pepper room brings not only honor, but a kind of fearlessness for a high position, she is like a scorching light, and she is awe-inspired.

What's more, she can stand by the emperor's side.

The best and most powerful man in the world has only her heart in her heart. And she is the only one who can stand the temple side by side with the emperor and be worshiped by the courtiers.

No wonder there are thousands of women in the world who covet the position of this pepper house.

No wonder the Empress is so obsessed.

But she soon returned to reality.

There was still a pile of "mess" at her feet, and she was facing such an embarrassing scene and didn't know what to do.

A maid beside Granny Ah Chi slowly walked up to her, approached her, and taught her in a voice that only the queen could hear: "Niangniang only needs to call 'free', if you don't call 'free', Granny Ah Chi will not get up." ”

This maid is also called the old man's "Ah Chi mother-in-law", and she wants to come to the life of Changmen very freely, and the eldest princess Ah Chi will not restrain the lives of her subordinates, so they can be so close to the old man.

This maid is the Pope. Not only is it also the meaning of Ah Chi's mother-in-law.

Sure enough, when Queen Xu was stunned, the maid got closer and whispered: "Queen Mother, just call it 'free', mother-in-law is to let Niang Niang appreciate the demeanor of being a queen, you are the queen of the world, you don't call it free, people in this world dare not get up." ”

Empress Xu looked at the maid's smiling eyes, and suddenly had the courage, and raised her hand lightly towards Granny Ah Chi: "Excuse me." ”

Ah Chi smiled, finally moved, and said, "The old body bows to the queen mother." Just about to get up, the queen hurriedly went to help with the maid of Fang Cai, and Ah Chi was willing to be held by the queen and stood up slowly......

The old man lowered his eyebrows, and the most kind smile appeared on his face.

She patted the queen's hand and said approvingly: "That's right, good boy, from this moment on, you must remember that you are the queen, and what others do for you is right!" You can afford it! Comeβ€”" She slowly led the queen to the front of the kneeling courtiers:

"The queen mother, you look at - they are ministers, your majesty's ministers, and your ministers, you are the queen, if you don't call up today, they will kneel and break their legs, and they will never get up, understand?"

The queen looked at Granny Ah Chi and seemed to understand something from her words...... The queen turned around, her face showed a calmness that she had never felt before, and she slowly raised her hand.

"Zhu Qing - no courtesy, flat body."

With the arc of her hand raised, Her Highness's ministers bowed their heads, and their movements were like pine waves:

"Thank you, Queen Mother! Xie - Majesty! ”

As soon as Xu Pingjun turned around, he found that the emperor was looking at her.

He smiled so softly.

If the king loves someone, he wishes to do this, even if he owns the country, he also hopes that the country will have a share of his beloved wife. His courtiers were bowing to the queen.

The corners of the king's eyes and eyebrows were so delighted.

At this moment, she is the queen. The queen of the Han Dynasty.

The feast is begining.

The ministers and ladies sat in His Royal Highness, and the waitresses on both sides waited to pour wine, and the hall was full of drinks, so it was not lively.

This moment is the happiest time for Ah Chi. Looking at the majesty of the king in the palace, she remembered that when Emperor Xiaozhao was there, her younger brother also sat in the palace, and it was also such a lively scene...... When she lived in the Nagato Palace for a long time, Emperor Xiaozhao was afraid that she would be lonely and alienated from the king, and she would be treated badly by the servants, so he often came to the deserted Nagato Palace to visit her.

I really want to be Fuling......

Ah Chi suddenly shed a tear.

She is also old, the old one is about to enter the ground, I don't know how many eyes can she look at the Han Palace after this feast?

One look, one less look.

Now her hand is withered, just like the hand that His Majesty stretched out to hold her excitedly when she saw Emperor Xiaowu...... At that time, she thought in her heart that her father's hand was as withered as a stake, so old and rough, but now, the years are over, and she is also following her father's steps and is about to be buried in the underground palace.

The singing and dancing continued.

Ah Chi decided to meet Mrs. Huo Guang for a while.

With the only time she has left.

"Knock-knock-"

The crutches smashed into Qingliudi one by one, and when he heard it from afar, he was about to be smashed out of a pit, "Knock-knock-" This sound is only available to Ah Chi.

In this palace, only Ah Chi is so old.

She walked towards Huo Guang and Huo Xian......

Huo Guang followed the voice, and when he looked up and saw Ah Chi, he was obviously stunned, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "Eldest princess......"

Huo Xian also saw her, but he was still sitting and refused to move. Huo Guang was anxious, squeezed his eyebrows at his wife, and was about to push it......

Huo Xian slowly got up at this time: "The concubine greets the eldest princess...... Concubine, unwell, and looking at the eldest princess Haihan. ”

When Huo Guang saw his wife's appearance, he was even more anxious, and his eyes couldn't stare.

But Ah Chi didn't seem to mind, Ah Chi smiled, and the wrinkles on his face shrank into a ball:

"Mrs. Huo is not in good health, huh? The rotten bones of the old body are often said to fall apart, but they can still be used today. General, the lady's body is very important, if there is no wise doctor in the house, just give the queen mother, the queen is kind-hearted, she will be compassionate, and the imperial doctor in the palace will definitely worship the house for a long time. ”

Ah Chi said with a smile, this sentence fell, but it made Huo Guang embarrassed. Huo Guang glared at Huo Xian, complaining that she was too arrogant and didn't know how to be polite.

Huo Xian touched the general's gaze, and he was also a little scared, but he was quite unconvinced.

Ah Chi smiled and slowly left on crutches.

Her goal has been achieved, and she doesn't need to be under her nose anymore. Her words were obviously said to Huo Xian, but in fact, they were said to the general Huo Guang, so that Huo Guang could understand the danger of restlessness in the back house, so as to deeply cure the roots of Huo Mansion.

Moreover, she mentioned the "queen" in her words, and taught Huo Guang to ask the queen if she was in need, which was in front of Huo Xian, raising the identity of the queen, and making Huo Xian remember that now the harem is the harem of the queen Xu's family, and even the mother-in-law of Changmen Palace Ah Chi obeys Queen Xu, as the wife of a minister, don't want to set off any more waves.

As soon as Ah Chi left, Huo Guang wanted to "cure" his wife, he was originally very dissatisfied with Huo Xian's appearance today, and he witnessed how Huo Xian regarded the queen as nothing, and even disrespected Princess Ah Chi, losing his face! After thinking about it for a moment, he was furious and asked:

"What's wrong with you? Think the head is too tired to loosen the axe? ”

Huo Xian had never seen a general talk to her so angrily, but at this time, Huo Guang's tone was not good, she couldn't stand it, pushed the wine bottle forward, and said angrily: "What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me?" How do you talk about that?? I'm going to make a woman climb on her head! According to your wishes...... I still have to take it?! ”

"You...... You're small, quiet! Huo Guang blushed in a hurry, looked around, and said, "You are becoming more and more ignorant!" Don't look at what the occasion is! Don't be afraid to lose your head! ”

Fortunately, their voices were not too loud, and there were endless voices of staggering and singing during the feast, so their argument was not listened to by others.

Huo Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Huo Xian was flamboyant, he was also a little scared when he heard Huo Guang say this, and when he looked around, he saw that everyone was normal, and he didn't pay attention to them, so he was a little relieved.

Because he ripped Huo Guang off: "You sit down!" It's you! After a while, I said loudly, teach others to listen to it! ”

Huo Guang knew his lady's temper, and if he wanted to be tough, he really wouldn't dare. If there is a joke on the ceremony after the seal, how can he communicate with the DPRK and China in the future?

Huo Guang lowered his voice and said: "You are ashamed of the queen in public today, if the mother is concerned, you will feel good in the future!" …… What can I do? Then he sighed there: "A woman is careless in her words and deeds, and she will harm her family!" ”

Although Huo Xian was afraid in his heart, he didn't want to lose in the formation. Besides, when she heard Huo Guang say this, her heart became even hotter: "What 'queen' is not 'queen'!" Can she be the queen?! ”

Huo Guang was shocked: "This kind of thing ...... How dare you say it? ”

"Why don't you dare to say it? Today I offended her, sir, you also said, if she holds a grudge, the concubine lives or dies, our house ...... But it's going to be bad luck! ”

"If you know! Do you know ......" Huo Guang unconsciously raised his voice, and when he found out, he found that someone was already secretly looking at them, and he was in a hurry and hurriedly stopped.

Huo Xian's eyes rolled, approached Huo Guang, and whispered: "Master, with her as a country woman, can she also be a queen?" The concubine is not convinced! ”

Huo Guang was anxious and helpless, and was so flustered for the first time: "Oops! Madam! Can such a thing be spoken? What's the use of you not being convinced? The old man wears, the old man wears 10,000 clothes! The old man has been loyal to the Han court all his life, and His Majesty has issued an edict, which is the sword mountain and sword tree, and the old man will also move forward! The old man respects His Majesty, and the queen of His Majesty's personal title will naturally respect the old man! ”

"Are you stupid?" Huo Xian felt that he really couldn't knock on his elm head, so he stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "Master, what should we do if we become kings?" How can you not figure it out! If we become the queen and become the queen, the Huo family will be able to be pampered! Who will dare to take your position then? ”

"Cheng Jun do...... Do......? Huo Guang hesitated again and again, but he still didn't dare to say the three hot words "be a queen", he said with a straight face: "Don't talk about this matter again!" I disagree! If you say it 10,000 times, the old man will not agree! The glory of my Huo family doesn't need a woman to maintain it! ”

"Alas, alas, alas! Elm pimple! Elm pimple! Huo Xian was so angry that he simply ignored him, and only dropped one sentence: "I don't want you to do anything for Chengjun, as long as I'm planning to fight for my daughter, you, you don't interfere!" ”

After that, she quieted down and stopped arguing with Huo Guang.

Huo Guang also felt tired, and when he saw this, he privately thought that the matter was over, and her wife would not bother him anymore.

But he didn't think about it, and the next scene he saw made him almost vomit blood in anger.

The singing and dancing in this banquet were entertaining, and there were countless singers and dancers invited, most of whom came from the mansion of Princess Gai, who raised Emperor Xiaozhao and was quite trusted, so she was extremely influential in the court. She followed the example of Emperor Xiaowu's sister and chose to raise a singing and dancing girl in the princess's mansion to fill the court. If the singing and dancing girl gains power in the court, it will naturally be very beneficial to her.

What Huo Guang didn't expect was that his wife often had a lot of friends with Princess Gai, and this scene of singing and dancing music also had a mystery.

The dancing girls are not stopping, the women are as beautiful as fairies in the sky, and a column of blue-clothed dancing girls are in a circle, holding flowers in their hands, constantly raising their ...... It is shaped like a goddess scattering flowers.

Its dancing is graceful and eye-catching.

All the ministers present were shocked and praised this wonderful dance!

Huo Guang didn't have Yaxing who was dancing, his heart was beating very fast, it was not the same as usual, and now, he always felt as if something was going to happen......

and didn't dare to look at Mrs. Huo Xian, who was sitting on the side......

If this woman wants to do something, he can't stop it.

However, his wife did not "disappoint" him.

The dancing girl is agile and athletic, her movements are soft and beautiful, and the flowers in her hands are constantly scattered, stacked in circles, and soon arched like a hill.

Suddenly, the hill-like stack seemed to come to life, and slowly it took shape and arched itself, growing bigger and taller......

Everyone's eyes kept gathering on that small "flower mountain" for a while.

Finally, the arch of the "Flower Mountain" is so high, and the blue-clothed dancers make fairy bouquets, gracefully "supporting" the "Flower Mountain", and this "Flower Mountain" slowly cracks...... Little by little, like swollen bones, a little spring/light, it swells wildly......

The "flower mountain" swelled up, and a woman broke out of the "mountain"!

The palace was full of uproar, and they all called this dance exquisite!

The woman was dressed in red, and her beauty was dazzling, and she danced among the stamens like a fairy. The accompanying dancers all walked around her, all of them fluttering like butterflies......

The courtiers were almost stunned, seeing this magical scene, there were always good people who compared it with Mrs. Li's dance that "looked at the city and then the country", and everyone here praised this strange woman for looking like a fairy!

But Huo Guang's face seemed to be very bad.

Huo Xian sat on the side, picked up the teacup and drank it, but he didn't see it.

Huo Guang couldn't help it, his eyes didn't leave the woman in the field, but his body kept moving closer to Huo Xian's side, pretending to ask casually: "Madam, have you done anything that can't stop the old man......?" ”

"No, no," Huo Xian smirked, "What can I do to make the master unhappy!" ”

"Really?" Huo Guang is cold.

"No, no!" Huo Xian smiled: "...... Don't you see that everyone is happy, how can the lord not be happy? ”

"You-!" Huo Guang almost lost his breath, and said hurriedly: "Really...... Is it really Chengjun? ”

Huo Xian didn't face his question directly, he came up, put on a smiling face, and said, "Is it beautiful?" Pretty or not pretty? ”

"Beautyβ€”?" Huo Guang dragged out his voice: "I see that my life is almost gone!" ”

This woman in red has attracted everyone's attention, she is not embarrassed at all, in the face of such a big battle, so many people are watching, she is not flustered at all.

The red clothes are fluttering, and the feet are ......

A dance of surprise.

The Emperor looked sideways.

Xu Pingjun had never seen such a battle, and she was quite curious, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this woman dances so well!" Look, the appearance is shocking, and it makes people feel bored at all...... Hey? Your Majesty, the concubine just thought, how did she get into this 'hill' of petals? ”

The emperor glanced at it and turned his face again: "I don't want to see it." ”

Xu Pingjun was still interested in Goldman Sachs, and she was still pondering: "There is obviously nothing in this place...... It's really strange, the 'heavenly maidens' scattered flower petals, and they piled up flower stacks when they sprinkled them, this person ...... And the man came out of the stack! It's weird, I don't see where anyone got in......"

The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Empress...... My Queen. ”

Empress Xu came back to her senses: "Huh? ”

"Are you...... I really don't understand? ”

"Yes!" Xu Pingjun didn't think about it at all, and replied to the king directly.

How did she know how the woman in red had gotten into the stack?

"Alas......"

The Emperor sighed. Answer: That's ......

Pingjun really doesn't understand.

She never knew that the court of the Han family was full of so many intrigues and tricks. The home she lives in the alleys of Chang'an is small, but warm. The neighbors in an alley will visit the door, like acquaintances. If something happens, the neighbors will help each other.

But this is the Han Palace.

The Han court that eats people and does not spit out bones.

Ping Jun was only the queen on the first day, she didn't understand the relationship between the dancing girls and the princesses at all, she didn't know that the Han family had a tradition of princesses choosing to raise dancing queens to please the king, and she didn't understand that so many dancing girls were selected to favor the king, and once the emperor took a fancy to them, they would be sent to the dragon collapse and become fierce rivals with the queen......

She had never thought about it so much.

But the emperor knows, the emperor knows. This is the reason why His Majesty is reluctant to talk deeply about this woman in red.

The emperor's heart is like a mirror, not to mention whether the woman in red is beautiful or not, whether it is suitable or not, just because she can appear in such a flamboyant way on such an occasion, you can know that her identity is unusual, and how many links are buckled in it, and no one knows the undercurrent surging underneath.

The Emperor is worried.

But his queen is still as simple as a child.

Since this woman in red has attracted so much attention, the ministers have been discussing, and if the emperor and queen don't say a word, it will be too much.

On this occasion, the emperor is inconvenient and unwilling to speak, so only the queen will speak.

Xu Pingjun smiled and said, "What is this daughter's surname?" I'm teaching the main palace today, it's really a shocking dance. ”

She clapped her hands, in admiration.

Poor Xu Pingjun didn't know that His Royal Highness's woman would be entangled with her for the rest of her life.

The ups and downs of her life, life and death, are all related to that woman.
