The queen's movements are indeed faster than everyone thinks.

"Xiuyi, princess of the county, hurry up!" Xiao Luzi was already sweating on his forehead.

Because he was afraid that Lu Ying would not hide herself, telling her earlier about the plan of the Yu family would make her expose her flaws and alarm the queen mother, so the emperor was ready to take them away from the secret passage by Xiaoluzi when the family started. However, I didn't expect the queen to play cards according to common sense at all, and before the city gate was opened, she went straight to the Qiuliang Palace first, so that the front foot of the small road had just arrived, and the queen's hind foot had already stepped into the palace gate of the Qiuliang Palace.

Now, Lu Ying is holding Taohua, and the nurse behind her is holding Brother Hui, and as soon as she walks out of the corner door of the apse, she hears a commotion in front of her: "The queen has arrived-"

The voice was already very close, once the queen found out that Lu Ying was not in the Qiuliang Palace, she would immediately chase after her, and she would soon find them. At that time, even if you enter the secret passage, you will be found by the queen The entrance to the secret passage, at that time...... Xiao Luzi's back was cold, and the sweat had soaked through his middle coat - he couldn't fulfill the emperor's entrustment, so that Xiuyi Niangniang, the emperor's eldest son and Princess Anjun had any mistakes, and he couldn't atone for his sins if he died 10,000 times!

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Taohua held her stomach with one hand and said calmly, "The queen will soon find out that we are not there—it is better to hide in these rockeries." "Those uninformed palace people outside the Qiuliang Palace can't stop the queen.

Xiao Luzi's cold sweat flowed down his face: "Niang Niang will go first, and the slave will stop the queen!" ”

"You can't stop it." Lu Ying suddenly stopped, "I'm the only one to stop her." "She is the lord of the Autumn Cool Palace, originally the queen came to the Autumn Cool Palace, she should be there.

"Niangniang-" Xiao Luzi turned around to stop, "If you make a mistake, the slave and maid will not be redeemed, but the emperor has instructed you to keep you, the princess of the county and the eldest son of the emperor safe!" ”

Lu Ying pushed the nurse forward: "Sister Tao, you help me take care of Brother Hui'er, this is the only bloodline of the emperor!" "She can die, but her son can't.

Brother Hui has always been very well-behaved, although he was carried out without sleeping at night, he never cried or made trouble, just lying in the arms of the nurse. But now when she saw her mother leaving, she suddenly fluttered: "Mother don't go—"

The child's voice was particularly sharp at night, and Lu Ying hurriedly covered her son's mouth: "Brother Hui, don't make a sound, the mother concubine will come when she goes." ”

But now these words can't coax Brother Hui'er, he struggles in the arms of the nurse like a small fish: "Mother-"

Taohua stepped forward and gently pinched the back of Brother Hui'er's neck, and Brother Hui softened. Xiao Luzi was scared and sweated: "Princess-" If this hurts Brother Hui, even Princess Anjun will not be able to do it.

Lu Ying was very calm: "Sister Tao won't hurt Brother Hui." "This is her son, how could Taohua be unfavorable to him, "Sister Tao'er, Brother Hui'er, I will entrust it to you, you must keep him safe!" ”

"The Empress will not show mercy to you." Although Taohua stunned Brother Hui'er, she was also a little hesitant now, "Actually, if we hide now...... the emperor has obviously taken precautions against tonight's incident, as long as they solve the people of the Yu family over there, they will definitely return to the palace to find them, and now it is a matter of time......

Lu Ying also hesitated, but when she heard the voice of the front hall getting louder and louder, she still shook her head resolutely: "You guys go quickly!" Turning his head, he walked briskly back to the apse, and Cherry naturally ran back without hesitation.

Xiao Luzi was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Princess, what can I do about this?" ”

Taohua groaned slightly: "Go to the dark passage first!" "Brother Hui must be saved, if the queen wants to blackmail the young master to order the world, she has to find Brother Hui, if she wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, then she must also find Brother Hui, as long as Brother Hui has not fallen into her hands, Lu Ying will most likely be able to save her life.

The queen led a large number of people and horses to break into the Qiuliang Palace, and the first sentence was: "Seal all the doors to the palace!" ”

"The queen mother-" an elderly palace man stepped forward and saluted, "I wonder what happened to the mother coming to the Qiuliang Hall so late?" "This is the palace manager newly assigned by the emperor to Qiuliang Hall after Lu Ying became pregnant.

The queen didn't look at her at all: "What about the Lu family, call her out!" By the way, there is also the Jiang family, all call them out! Bring Brother Hui out of the palace too! ”

Among the palace people in the Qiuliang Palace, except for a few people who have already followed the path, only this steward palace person knows today's plan, she stayed to delay time, especially at this moment, the queen is too anxious, and everyone over there is afraid that they will not be out of the apse at this time, so they will delay even more, so they replied in a daze: "Back to the mother, Jiang Baolin and Jiang Chongyuan did not come to the Qiuliang Palace——"

Before the words were finished, the queen waved her hand, and a strong inner supervisor came over, and with a slap knocked the palace people to the ground: "What is there to do with this palace, this palace is looking for Jiang Taohua!" Hongu knows she's here, go, go in and search! ”

The corners of the housekeeper's mouth were bleeding, and he got up and knelt down in front of the queen to stop her: "Niangniang, the eldest son of the emperor has just fallen asleep, don't frighten him." Besides, Princess Anjun has passed away, why is she here? ”

The other palace attendants in the Qiuliang Hall didn't know what was going on, but seeing the queen so aggressive, they also knew that it was definitely not a good thing. They were all transferred by the emperor to Lu Ying later, and they were all loyal to Lu Ying, and when they saw the queen's posture, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, they all knelt down: "Please don't frighten the emperor's eldest son...... " knelt all the way from the queen's feet to the palace gate at the back, blocking people from passing.

The queen kicked the butler on the shoulder and kicked her to the ground again, but the dozens of people behind her were kneeling, and she couldn't kick them one by one, so she had to rush and order: "Drag the palace away!" Whoever doesn't listen, will be killed! "These people are procrastinating, aren't Lu Ying and others running away?

She brought over 20 vigorous internal prisoners tonight, and more than a dozen palace people, all of whom were also extremely powerful, and some of them were even tortured in the palace, which would torture people. When these people heard this, they stepped forward and kicked randomly, in the end, these palace people were all women, and they were knocked down in an instant, making way for them.

The queen raised her feet and was about to go inside, when she heard the voice of the palace coming out: "The queen is still coming to the Qiuliang Hall so late, I don't know what to order?" ”

The queen raised her eyes and saw that Lu Ying walked out wearing a new honey-colored jacket, her hair was still in the style of the day, and she wore a few hairpin rings scattered, as if she was about to rest. Followed by her, it was also her confidant Cherry, who also had a comb in her hand, as if she was about to unwrap Lu Ying's hair when she was disturbed.

"I'll take a look." Lu Ying's appearance made the queen's heart suddenly settle, and she stepped forward, "What about Brother Hui?" ”

"Niangniang, please sit down in the hall." Lu Ying bowed, "Brother Hui has already fallen asleep, so I can't come to greet my mother, and ask my mother for forgiveness." Outside the palace gate, there was a palace attendant who was knocked over and kicked down, but she didn't say a word as if she hadn't seen it.

The queen laughed: "Lu, you are really calm." This palace doesn't talk to you either, what about the Jiang family? ”

"There are Jiang Chongyuan and Jiang Baolin in the palace, I don't know which one the mother is talking about?" Lu Ying said respectfully, "But these two are not in the concubine palace now." ”

The queen originally came with confidence, and she really wanted to play with cats and mice, but at this time, Lu Ying was so calm and relaxed, she became a little irritable: "Don't be sloppy with this palace, this palace is talking about Jiang Taohua!" Don't say anything about her death, this palace knows that she is not dead, and she is left here by the emperor, so call her out! ”

Lu Ying stood with her head down: "The concubine doesn't know what Niangniang said, how could Princess Anjun be in the concubine palace?" ”

"You don't know?" As soon as the queen sat down on the chair, she immediately stood up, her fingers almost pointing to the tip of Lu Ying's nose, "You don't know?" The emperor's idea of beating the Jiang family has not been a day or two, speaking of which, isn't it because the Jiang family entered the palace to check your pulse that he hooked up......"

Speaking of this kind of hook-up and the like, it really shouldn't come out of the mouth of the master of the middle palace in the mother's world, the queen is also a lady, and it is just enough to say this kind of thing in private in her own palace, and she will not do this kind of self-surrendering thing in front of the concubines. However, at this time, I talked endlessly, and I don't know if I was usually suffocated, or if I felt that Lu Ying was nothing at all, and it didn't matter what I said.

"Niangniang is cautious." Lu Ying still stood quietly, letting the queen foam in front of her, "The relationship between the emperor and Princess Anjun is innocent, and there is nothing to do." "Taohua lives in her palace, and the number of times the emperor comes to see her is limited, and many times Brother Xu's news is sent by Xiaoluzi, how can it be so unbearable as the queen said?

The queen walked around the hall nervously: "Shen Yan? The emperor has done everything, is it still not allowed to say that the palace can't do it? On that day in the Nuanchun Pavilion, don't think that the palace doesn't know - why were Hongya and the others wiped out? Hmph, don't say anything because the Jiang family was born like the Xia family, and the emperor is clearly in love with the Jiang family! It's a pity that there is a good saying, there is a knife on the head of the color word, and the emperor offended the king of Anjun and the marquis of Dingbei for this beauty, and now——"

Although Lu Ying was calm on the surface, she was actually clenched tightly in her heart, and when she heard the queen's words, she couldn't help blurting out: "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”

The queen laughed: "Do you ask the emperor?" The emperor actually has nothing to do, but it's just time to abdicate. ”

"Abdication?" Lu Ying asked tentatively, "Do you want to help the king of Anjun ascend the throne?" "Could it be that King Anjun is really suspicious of the emperor and Taohua......

"Of course not!" The queen spat without figuring it at all, and it was not the way that women usually used to only make a sound, but really spit out a mouthful of saliva, "What is he, he also wants to be on the throne!" ”

"So, Brother Hui?" Before Lu Ying finished speaking, the queen was already laughing breathlessly: "Ouch, a son born to a cheap maid, also wants to be in a big position?" ”

She pointed at Lu Ying with her fingernails painted with bright red Kodan: "What are you when you are?" If it weren't for the fact that this palace could use you, you would be at most a talented person now, and you would still think of the position of the nine concubines? If you really made a cultivator, you don't know what your identity is, right? ”

Lu Ying was talking to her while calculating the time in her heart, at this time Taohua and Brother Hui should have entered the secret passage, as long as the secret passage is closed, it will be too late for the queen to send someone to chase after her. As soon as she thought of this, she felt completely at ease, and only thought about the emperor: "Who does Niangniang want to make the emperor?" ”

"Naturally, it's this in the belly of the main palace." The queen lowered her head, gently stroked her lower abdomen with both hands, and her eyes suddenly became very loving, "It's been three months." ”

Lu Ying was shocked inexplicably. What a big deal it is to be pregnant in the middle palace, and the queen has been infertile for many years, if there is good news, she must not immediately tell the six palaces to tell the world, why haven't any of the concubines in the palace heard the news?

"Mother, pregnant?"

"Nature." The queen held her head high, like a proud peacock, "The one in the belly of this palace is the emperor's son-in-law!" Is it comparable to you, the concubines, who have sons of arms? ”

It's only been three months, and who knows if it's a man or a woman? Lu Ying couldn't help but say, "How does Niangniang know that it must be the prince?" ”

"Of course it's the prince!" The queen's face changed in an instant, she raised her hand and slapped her, glaring at her viciously, "You dare to curse the prince of this palace!" Come on, slap your mouth! ”

Lu Ying didn't expect the queen to say that she would do it, and she didn't know how much force it used to slap her, and her ears were buzzing. Two palace people immediately came over, one left and one right, and one of them said to the queen: "Niangniang, it is important to find out the princess of Anjun first......"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Only then did the queen suddenly remember today's intention, "Go, search the palace, and drag the Jiang family out of the palace!" and Brother Hui'er's little mongrel, also take it out! ”

She brought so many people just to arrest people, and she just talked to Lu Ying endlessly, which made the people who came with her anxious. At this time, the queen finally remembered what was going on, and with an order, these people suddenly rushed to the apse like wolves, but after a while, they all came back empty-handed: "Niangniang, I don't see the emperor's eldest son." I don't see Princess Anjun either! ”

"What!" The queen had been sitting there looking down at her stomach, her eyes were full of pity, and when she heard the news, she immediately jumped up, raised her hand and slapped Lu Ying again, "What about people?" And what about the little mongrel? "If the Jiang family may not be in the Autumn Cool Palace, but Brother Hui will never be there!

Lu Ying was beaten to the side by her, and if it weren't for the two palace people holding her around, she would have fallen to the ground. But she smiled: "Back to the queen's words, the concubine doesn't know." ”

"You don't know!" The queen didn't care about her stomach anymore, "Where did you hide that little bastard?" Search, search for this palace! ”

Lu Ying stared at the queen's belly, and the queen noticed her gaze, and immediately stroked her lower abdomen with both hands: "Look at what!" You must be trying to curse the dragon fetus in the womb of this palace! ”

Lu Ying only felt that the queen was particularly strange tonight, but she was dizzy from the two slaps, and she didn't have the strength to think anymore, she only heard the sound of overturning things everywhere in the entire Qiuliang Palace, and after a while, the queen's people came back empty-handed: "Niangniang, I don't see the princess of the county and the eldest son of the emperor." ”

"You sent them out!" The queen was still holding her stomach in both hands, and her eyes were staring at Lu Ying with a little straight eyes, "No, it's the emperor!" It was the emperor who sent them away! Haha, they're all gone, why are you still in the palace? Look, you gave birth to a prince for the emperor, but the emperor is not the only one in his eyes? Jiang's slut, what's so good, isn't it that he was born a little like Xia's, isn't it just to diagnose the pulse and see a doctor? ”

These words jumped from Lu Ying's body to Taohua's body, and it contradicted what was said before, and it was completely illogical. The queen herself didn't feel it, she walked around the room twice, muttered a few words in her mouth, and suddenly turned around and pointed at Lu Ying and said, "Strangle her!" ”

The order was given very suddenly. Although everyone who came with the queen today knew that she would not let Lu Ying go, but now that Brother Hui's whereabouts had not been asked, the queen suddenly let the killing, which still made the followers stunned for a moment, and the confidant palace people hurriedly said: "Niangniang, I don't know the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son." ”

"I don't need you to say more!" The queen glared at her, "You go and find it!" Spread out and find out! When I found it, I strangled it. And the Jiang family is the same! If you can't find it, come to see you one by one! By the way, go to Yuhui Pavilion, go to Chunhua Palace, go to Zhongxiu Palace, go to Qunxiang Palace, and strangle those sluts to me one by one! "She was foaming at the mouth, her face was hideous, and she really looked like a ghost under the flickering candlelight.

Lu Ying's heart was cold, and a palace man had already pulled out a white silk from his sleeve and wrapped it around her neck - the queen was completely irrational and was about to kill! Although she was ready to die when she came back, she realized that she didn't want to die when Bai Ayazhen put it around her neck! She still wants to see Brother Hui, and she also wants to see the emperor!

The queen was indeed a little moody tonight, even the people who came with her didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately more than half of the people dispersed, went out from the gates of the Qiuliang Palace, and began to search. It's just that the palace is so big, where can I find it for a while?

Although the palace people had already wrapped Bai Aya around Lu Ying's neck, the emperor's eldest son had not yet found it, and she did not dare to tighten Bai Aya rashly. At this time, the queen said that she would kill it, and if she couldn't find the emperor's eldest son and regretted it, she might have made a mistake in doing it. Now the queen's temper is elusive, but not so reasonable.

The queen walked back and forth in the inner hall for a few steps, and when she turned around and saw that the palace people were looking at her, she was immediately angry again: "What are you waiting for, don't do it yet!" ”

It seems that this time it is really going to be done. The palace people didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly tightened Bai Aya, but suddenly heard someone's voice coming in from outside the palace gate: "Niangniang, I found the princess of the county in the rockery in the courtyard!" ”

As soon as the queen turned around, she saw Taohua holding her stomach up, supported by mint, and walked in by two palace people.

"Oh, I found one!" The queen was stunned for a moment, and then became excited, "What about Brother Hui'er's little mongrel?" ”

Momoka didn't answer. The original plan was to take them into the dark passage, where they could go straight to the cold palace, and the emperor had already stored some water in the cold palace in advance, and they were waiting for the emperor to pick them up.

But plans are not as fast as change. They had just opened the entrance to the secret passage, but they bumped into Zhao Chongyi's master and servant. The three masters and servants didn't know why they didn't return to the Chunhua Palace, they ran around in the palace, and they ran here by mistake, and suddenly saw Xiaoluzi with Taohua and Brother Hui, and immediately realized that this was arranged by the emperor, and immediately entangled.

If they were quieter, Taohua might not be able to take them with them, but at this time, there was chaos in the palace, Zhao Chongyi was frightened like a frightened bird, rushing to be the first to enter the dark passage, and the uproar finally attracted the nearby guards......

Taohua immediately abandoned the dark passage, and returned to the Qiuliang Hall with Xiao Luzi and the others. As for Zhao Chongyi...... She did enter the secret passage, but a few guards also chased after her, and whether she could find a place to hide after escaping to the cold palace, Taohua didn't know.

Outside the Qiuliang Palace, they saw more than a dozen inner eunuchs and palace people going out from each gate, obviously to search for them, so they took this opportunity to touch back to the Qiuliang Palace. At this moment, only the most dangerous place is the safest.

Brother Hui was carried back to his room by the nurse and hid in the closet. It has been turned upside down, and I don't think anyone will come back to search again, as long as Brother Hui doesn't wake up, it's safe.

As for Taohua herself, she could have picked up a searched room to hide in, but the queen actually wanted to strangle Lu Ying immediately, so she could only come out - the key now is to delay time, maybe as long as it drags on for a while, Shen Shu will come......

"The queen is pregnant?" Taohua didn't answer her question, but looked the queen up and down anyway. Just now she heard the queen say that she was pregnant, and she couldn't believe it. Don't say that the emperor doesn't want the queen to get pregnant at all, let's just say that now that he goes to Fengyi Palace, it's hard to say whether he rolls the sheets with the queen or not, where does the queen get pregnant, does she dare to cuckold the emperor?

The queen stared at Taohua's belly, and she couldn't tell what the expression on her face was: "Of course!" ”

She straightened up proudly, supported her waist with one hand, and stroked her lower abdomen with the other: "This palace is pregnant, but it is a sister-in-law!" ”

Taohua couldn't feel right. It's only been three months, my belly is not visible, and my figure has not changed much, what kind of waist do you support? Then she suddenly realized that the queen's posture was actually imitating her! She is now holding her waist with one hand and touching her lower abdomen with the other, but she is now six months old, and she is not the same as the queen at all!

"What, do you think this palace can't give birth?" As soon as Taohua was silent, the queen blew up. With this explosion, she didn't care about her stomach at all, raised her hand to Taohua, and said sharply: "Do you think you can give birth?" You slut! Give me, give me—" She spun in place, as if she didn't know what to command.

The confidant palace person was frightened, and hurriedly supported her: "Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you, but your head hurts again?" ”

The queen shook off her hand and pointed at Taohua and screamed: "Knock out her child, and immediately beat the palace!" ”
