Yongning Palace

The air was filled with the warm fragrance of rose tea from the Western Regions, and everyone was smiling on their faces, as if they were in harmony.

"The mourning family heard Zhenlan say that the second lady of Qiu has always been a knowledgeable and reasonable person, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, Mama Dong, and led the lamplighter and the second lady to the Buddhist hall of the mourning family to see, what the second lady likes, it is considered the reward given to her by the mourning family." The Queen Mother smiled kindly and motioned to Mama Dong to help Mrs. Qiu up.

Waiting for the second lady of Qiu to salute timidly and leave with a thousand thanks, she signaled everyone to retreat, leaving only Zheng Jun, who was waiting on the side, and Qiu Yun, who was sitting below.

The Queen Mother looked at the man in front of her who seemed to be smiling at the corner of her lips, but her eyes were cold, and sighed lightly: "On the clouds, are you willing to return to the court." ”

Qiu Yun looked at the Queen Mother and said lightly: "Didn't the Queen Mother use the Phoenix Order." ”

"The mourning family thinks you have forgotten the promise you made to the mourning family." The Queen Mother looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Qiu Yun's lips: "Although the cloud is not a good thing, it has always been consistent with the promise, since you promised Lafayette your phoenix order, the cloud will definitely return to the dynasty, and it will naturally come back." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, a gloomy look appeared on her well-maintained graceful and delicate face, but after a while, she still looked at him, and her expression regained her usual shrewdness and coldness: "Then before Qingluan died, you promised that if the mourning family was in trouble, you would definitely help the mourning family, and you never forgot it?" ”

Qiu Yunshang's cold eyes instantly flashed with pain because he heard the word 'Qingluan', and he looked at the Queen Mother and said coldly: "No." ”

"Even if you want to sacrifice your concubine and your son, is that okay?" The Queen Mother's expression was aggressive.

Qiu Yunshang looked at her and suddenly chuckled: "Queen Mother, decades have passed, you are still as ruthless as before, the Du family is so important to you, or is power so important to you, can you sacrifice a qiē?" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and she said sharply: "You just need to answer the mourning family, can you or not." ”

Qiu Yunshang looked at her and said expressionlessly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips suddenly curled up with a gentle smile: "You have done a good job, Yunshang, even including your son, although he is a concubine, he is more productive than any of your sons, if he serves the mourning family well, your family will always be happy, even if it is Zhenlan, it will not be an obstacle to your family's happiness." ”

Qiu Yunshang curled the corners of her lips sneeringly: "She is not an obstacle in the first place, when you have to marry her into the Qiu family to spy on me, she is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time to you." ”

With that, he put down the glass of water in his hand and got up and left.

The Queen Mother looked at his cold back, as if she saw something through his back, and suddenly couldn't help but call: "...... on the clouds." ”

Qiu Yunshang stopped, slowly turned to look at her, his eyes swept over her well-maintained face, and he said mockingly: "Aunt Feng, you are really old and ugly. ”

A sound of Aunt Feng instantly made the Queen Mother stiff, she unconsciously reached out and touched her cheek, and then looked at him, but she didn't seem to care about his inferiority at all, and only said indifferently: "Yes, I'm old, decades, aren't you also old?" ”

She has changed from the eldest lady of the Du family in the capital to the queen of the world, and then to the ruthless and iron-fisted queen mother Lafayette, and he has also changed from a childish child who followed her to an aunt who followed her to a world-famous, handsome Yunshangjun, and now a plain dress and dusty Ministry of Works.

Qiu Yunshang showed a strange smile: "Yes, all of us are old, including the Emperor Xià, there are only about Qingluan and Concubine Chen, they will never be old." ”

Seeing the Queen Mother's suddenly changed face, he sneered, turned around and waved away.

The Queen Mother looked at his back, as if she was enduring something, closed her eyes, blinked away the desolate tears in her eyes, and leaned back in her chair without saying a word.

Zheng Jun looked at her, and then at the autumn clouds that had disappeared in the distance, and lowered his eyes suspiciously.

……

Qiu Yunshang had just stepped out of the Queen Mother's dormitory, and was about to leave, when a person suddenly walked out of the corner.

He looked at the person who came, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then called the second lady's name with a smile: "Qing'er, didn't you follow the lamplighter to the Buddha Hall?" ”

At this moment, in addition to being as gentle as ever, the second lady's face was more incredulous: "On the clouds, even if you have never had me in your heart, Ye'er is your blood and bones!" ”

Qiu Yunshang looked at the second lady in front of him with a somewhat unpredictable expression: "Qing'er, you heard it." ”

The second lady stirred the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and tears and forbearance flashed in her eyes: "Yes." ”

Qiu Yunshang looked down at the second lady, and sighed a little helplessly: "Why bother, Qing'er, I don't want you to hear too many dirty things, you also heard that as long as Ye'er does things for Lafayette well, she and you will be safe, and you can also be your second lady of the Qiu family." ”

The second lady looked around, saw that there was no one around, and begged with a little redness in her eyes: "On the clouds, Ye'er is a girl, don't let her come in, please look at our love back then!" ”

Qiu Yunshang looked at the second lady, stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and looked at the teardrops on his fingertips with some sneer: "It's because of the love between you and me back then, so I didn't let people drown her, nor did I send her to the temple, I let her live well in Zhuangzi, and even connived at her to follow your father to travel the world, and didn't arrest her back and confine her, the only requirement is that she can never set foot in the capital, I gave her more 'freedom' than any Qiu family's daughter, but how did you and her repay me?" ”

When the second lady heard this, she was instantly dumbfounded, she pulled his sleeve and begged, "I didn't mean to...... I thought I was dying of illness, I just wanted to see my child before I died, it was Ye'er who brought back my father's medicine to save me, Ye'er was so sensible, so caring, I ...... I didn't let her leave because I was reluctant to leave my side again, I will let her go now, let her resign and go far away, so that she will never set foot in the capital! ”

Qiu Yunshang looked at the second lady and touched her gentle and beautiful face, the expression on his face was gentle and cold: "Qing'er, you are gentle and cowardly, the old fairy loves you too much, the only old girl, so that you are born beautiful and cowardly, there is no one like a decisive woman in the rivers and lakes, you can't even compare to your daughter, and now you regret it, it's too late, you pray that she will obediently listen to Lafayette's words, otherwise no one can save her." ”

"Cloud-based ...... I really regret it, I regret how I gave up a qiē, cut off relations with my father, and didn't see you until I died, and even would rather be a concubine than marry you! The second lady looked at his cold face, and finally couldn't help biting her lip and trembling.

When Qiu Yunshang heard her words, a pale look flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled: "Look, Qing'er, you are always so rash, you are not afraid of Lafayette's territory and have ears on the wall, whether it is love or regret, it is all your choice, what does it have to do with me?" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

The second lady looked at the back of him leaving, and suddenly slipped to the ground against the pillar as if she had no strength at all, and covered her face blankly, tears raining down.

Was she wrong?

What's wrong?

She has been alone in the empty boudoir for several years, but she just wants to reunite with her husband and wife like ordinary people, her daughter is around her knees, and the family is happy.

……*……*……*……*……

Myeongkoden

"I'm going back to the temple tonight to deal with some things, you rest early, your father's affairs don't have to be taken to heart, and you don't have to worry about the second lady." After dinner, after Bai Li Chu finished bathing, he asked Shuangbai to wait for him to change his clothes, and looked at Qiu Yebai, who was meditating cross-legged on the bed, and said lightly.

Qiu Yebai paused, looked at Baili Chu, and nodded: "I know that you will handle these things well, but I just have some emotion in my heart, my mother is soft and cowardly, and she has always had only one person in her heart, and now you and I have not torn our faces with Yongning Palace, but if one day, there will be a palace change, and my mother is afraid that she will be sad again." ”

Baili Chu's control of the Shingon Palace, she believes that he can protect her mother.

She just had a peculiar and strange self-consciousness that her father would not be on her side with her mother.

Once Bailichu doesn't want to keep the Du family as an eyesore, the Qiu family will definitely become an ally of the Du family, and when Bailichu really does it, he won't show mercy to anyone who dares to resist him, even if that person is her 'father'.

Baili Chu stroked his high neckline, and said lightly: "There are many calamities in the world, there are a few people who can see through love, hatred, and hatred in one life, and their smiles are always as open as Maitreya, even if it is Maitreya, it is just a big belly that can tolerate things that the world can't tolerate, and they just laugh at the world." ”

When Qiu Yebai heard this, something that she had always felt strange in her heart surfaced, she paused, looked at him, and suddenly said, "Ah Chu, I want to ask you something." ”

When Baili first saw her serious look, he motioned for Shuangbai to leave and looked at her with a smile: "What's the matter, Xiaobai is so serious?" ”

She looked into his eyes and suddenly said, "Ah Chu, you ...... If you want to destroy the Du family, isn't it too difficult? ”

She always had a strange feeling, although she saw that Yongning Palace and Mingguang Palace were evenly matched, but she always felt that with Baili Chu's power in the court, if he really wanted to uproot the Queen Mother and the Du family, it might hurt his vitality a little, but it didn't seem to be like the current situation, he seemed to be conniving at the ups and downs of the Du family intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Li Chu paused, stretched out his hand and stroked her delicate cheeks, and said coolly: "Xiaobai is not wrong, this palace is conniving at the Du family. ”

"Why?" She was puzzled.

Bai Li Chu said lightly: "First, the time has not come, and the Du family's destiny is not over; Second, this palace has selfish intentions. ”

The time has come, but the destiny is not over?

Although this statement is mysterious, she can still understand it, after all, the business power in Mei Su's hands is not small, and it can't be moved, but ......

"Selfishness?" She narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at him with a smile: "Cat catches mouse? ”

She remembered the heart-wrenching cold conversation he had with the Queen Mother in the Mingguang Palace that day.

What he wants is to force Lafayette and the Du family to the point where there is no way back, so that they think that hope is always above the horizon, they plan and struggle, but in the end they can only watch the hope shattered again and again, leaving only complete despair with nowhere to escape, and before that, they will definitely try their best to fight back.

This is a hunting game for the gods, and it takes an unusually long time and energy.

Once you start, it's impossible to stop.

The result of this game is either the complete reduction of 'mortals' to the sacrifice of the 'god' game, or the complete 'extinction' of the 'god'.

Bai Li Chu smiled, his eyes were faint and dark, making it difficult to see through, he lowered his head and pecked at the corner of her lips: "That was one of the original intentions of this palace, but now I need to add something else." ”

"Something else?" She raised her eyebrows, suddenly turned over and pressed him between the beds, looking at the beautiful demon god dressed in red under her, she lowered her head and rubbed the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Is it for me?" ”

Bai Li Chu reached out and stroked her slender waist, and chuckled casually: "You will always know, my Xiaobai, my queen." ”

Xiaobai's waist is always so slender and flexible that it is seductive.

"Queen?" The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she smiled.

Well, that's a good name, and she likes it.

Especially when she pressed him under her, he said it especially wonderfully, and greatly satisfied her vanity.

She looked at the beauty under her, saw that his eyelashes were long, and a beautiful shadow fell on his pale cheeks, and her heart was full of tenderness, and her fingertips gently picked up his chin, and smiled lightly: "The queen has a decree, Aijun don't go to the temple tonight, okay?" ”

Bai Li Chu raised his eyes to look at her, rested her soft hair on the belt he had just tied, and smiled: "Obey." ”

The queen who serves him is more interesting, and as for some disgusting people, it doesn't matter if they see it or not, after all, they are just grasshoppers after autumn, and it is just a joke that jumps for some time.

temple

The lamplighter suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the wind slave who came to report to him, his eyes were cold: "What did you say?" ”

Feng Nu said respectfully: "Back to the palace master, His Royal Highness the regent will not come to the temple tonight, and Lord Yibai has already come to give an order." ”

When the lamplighter heard this, a cold and irritable look flashed in his eyes: "This is the third time that the lord of the palace has asked you to go to His Royal Highness the Regent to invite someone, but you can't invite anyone, have you conveyed the will of the main palace to the people!" ”

Seeing her angry, the wind slave lowered his head: "Yes." ”

"What's there, what the palace master said is that the palace already knows the secret that Akiba Bai's guy is not a man at all!"

Anger flashed in Burning Lamp's expression, and he slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground with a 'bang'.

The cup shattered countless pieces in an instant, and the fine splashed porcelain pieces instantly cut Feng Nu's cheeks, but she continued to respectfully put her forehead against the back of her hand as if she didn't know it: "Back to the palace master, Feng Nu has clearly informed Lord Yibai of this news, but His Royal Highness really refuses to come." ”

Randeng's originally kind face flashed with anxiety, but in the end, she still closed her eyes, quickly moved the rosary in her hand, and calmed down for a while, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned to look at Feng Nu: "Feng Nu, let me ask you, are you really pregnant with the child of the national teacher?!" ”

Even if the Imperial Doctor had determined that Feng Nu had a child in her belly, she still had some inexplicable suspicions, perhaps because Yuan Ze was too cold on weekdays, which made her always feel that something was wrong.

Feng Nu stroked his stomach and nodded: "Back to the palace master, it's been three months." ”

Randen suddenly looked down at the wind slave, his eyes were sharp, but there was a hypocritical and cold smile on his face: "Wind slave, you are very good, the snow slaves will definitely take good care of you, and when you raise this child safely, you will be the hero of our Shingon Palace." ”

This kid will definitely be of great use.

"Palace Master, do we want to inform the Queen Mother of Admiral Qiu's secret?" The wind slave seemed to hesitate and said.

The lamplighter's expression turned cold instantly, and he said sharply: "Of course not!" ”

She saw that the wind slave seemed to be looking at her with some confusion, so she immediately softened her expression, and said gently while plucking the prayer beads: "Feng slave, you must know that you have entered the Shingon Palace, and you are the person of our Shingon Palace, although the Shingon Palace has a great relationship with the Du family, but the Shingon Palace is the Shingon Palace, in the end it is not the Du family, and your master is also the master of the palace, not the queen mother." ”

The lamplighter paused for a moment, and said coldly: "Only you know about this matter, and you just need to know that the palace master has other plans, your father and brother have now been transferred to the trading house in Huainan, and the property in Huainan is our Shingon Palace, not the Du family." ”

Feng Nu lowered her eyes, the expression on her face was respectful, she couldn't see what she was thinking, she only said respectfully: "Yes." ”

"Go ahead, the main palace is clean." The lamplighter closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in front of a gorgeous and hideous Buddha statue

The wind slave saluted, then got up and withdrew.

Outside the door, there were already several maids waiting for her with gilt stoves and fox furs, and the leader was none other than Snow Slave.

When Xue Nu saw her come out, a look of resentment and jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she said sarcastically: "Sister Fengnu, I really envy my sister, although the national teacher has temporarily left the palace for retreat, the palace master still takes care of you very much." ”

Feng Nu glanced at her coldly, and asked the maid to put on the fox fur for her, and took over the stove: "If you can conceive a child, presumably the palace master will definitely take care of you." ”

Although the wind slave is the head of the four maids, he has always been a cautious and self-controlled person, but now he suddenly became so cold and sharp, which suddenly made the snow slave very uncomfortable, and he was choked in an instant.

"You're ......!"

The Wind Slave ignored her and headed straight to his room, and the maidservants of the Shingon Palace immediately followed.

"What's it, isn't it just climbing the bed of the national teacher, if you don't have this child, see if you can still be so presumptuous!" Xue Nu's face turned red and white, and he bit his lower lip fiercely.

After the wind slave returned to his room, he sent the others away, and only then closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief, but he was suddenly picked up from behind.

She was startled at first, then struggled away, looked at the tall and sturdy figure behind her, and said with a faint expression: "You can go back and report to His Highness, Feng Nu has already done what he wants, and all of them are as His Highness expected, the Lord of the Burning Lantern Palace still does not plan to tell the Empress Dowager Lafayette the secret of Lord Qiu, she still has to wait to see His Highness." ”

Yibai looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, his eyes were hot and hesitant: "Child, are you okay?" ”

Since the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, he learned that the wind slave was pregnant with his child, and his heart was instantly mixed, and he suddenly understood why the wind slave always ignored him a few days ago and didn't let him touch it.

She already had him and her baby in her belly.

"That's my child." The wind slave immediately covered his lower abdomen and looked at Yibai vigilantly.

Seeing her like that, Yibai was also a little inexplicably unhappy in his heart: "Yanzi, that's also my child, is it possible that I will be unfavorable to him!" ”

The wind slave looked at him and was silent for a while: "I don't know. ”

This child was conceived by her and Yibai, she didn't know what His Highness wanted this child to do, but after she was pregnant with a child, she felt that this life in her belly must not be just an insignificant tool!

That's her blood, it's the continuation of her life!

Seeing that her thin body trembled slightly, Yibai felt a slight pain in his heart, stepped forward and reached out to hold her in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness has already promised me that this child will be fine." ”

"I ...... Can I trust you? The wind slave looked up at him, and his eyes were filled with tears at some point.

She is caught in these torments every day, and she is even willing to commit herself to Yibai, just for the sake of her family, so she will never allow her children to be sacrificed!

"Swallow, trust me." Yibai sighed softly and reached out to wrap his arms around her slender shoulders.
