"The Queen Mother's time is running out." When these words came out of Ling Ruo's mouth, the shock in Guerjia's heart was unimaginable, and he suddenly sat up straight, stared at Ling Ruo and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Yesterday, the queen kept us all in the dark, in fact, the imperial doctor had already diagnosed it at that time, and the queen mother was suffering from a serious disease, which could not be saved or cured. And last night, the Queen Mother's condition worsened, and Imperial Doctor Qi said that the Queen Mother could only last until autumn at most, and if she thought about it more heavily, she was afraid that she would not even be able to survive this summer. ”

After a long time, the Guerjia clan came back to his senses from this news and sighed: "Although I have always felt that the Queen Mother's face is not good, I have never been so serious, alas, life is really impermanent, and I can't control it at all." ”

"And Liu Hua, he also committed suicide in prison, I heard that he hid poison in his mouth, according to my speculation, it should be the queen who was afraid that Liu Hua would confess himself, so he ordered him to hide poison in his mouth, and once he was not punished, he could commit suicide."

Guerjia's chin bowed and said: "This is dead, it's really a bit cheap surnamed Liu, and he should be allowed to watch himself bleed and die." ”

Ling Ruo flicked his onion-like nails and said: "If you want to say cheap, isn't the cheapest queen, a third elder brother died, but she was unscathed." ”

"Unscathed?" Guerjia sneered and repeated these four words, "An Sheng has been giving birth for so many days, and it should be time for her to be sad." ”

Ling Ruo's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "Sister, have you thought of any way?" ”

Guerjia smiled slightly: "The saddest thing about the death of the third elder brother is the Nian family, and after so many things, I don't believe that the Nian family has no suspicion of the queen at all, as long as we move a little bit, she will go to fight with the queen." ”

Ling Ruo reminded: "The emperor will not allow her to come nonsense. ”

"Whether the emperor allows it or not, the Nian family, who has suffered the pain of losing his son, will definitely not be able to hold it back." The corners of Guerjia's lips were slightly hooked, and Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "Let's look at it, she will definitely give up with the queen." This time, even if she can't move the queen, she has to be tired of coping, otherwise she will really be bullied by us, and she can pinch it as much as she wants. ”

"Since my sister has confidence, I naturally have no opinion." In the midst of light conversation and laughter, a game against the Nala clan was set up.

This night, Nian sat in the hall in a daze, his gray hair without a trace of life. No, it should be said that since Hongsheng's death, she has been sitting like this every night, only when she is really sleepy, she will go to bed to lie down for a while, however, every time she falls asleep, she will always wake up in a nightmare, sweating profusely calling Hongsheng's name.

Green Yi fetched water in, "Master, it's late at night, slave and maid serve you to sleep." ”

Nian's numb eyes moved, and a dry voice escaped from his throat, "No need, Bengong doesn't want to sleep yet." ”

"Master." Lu Yi said distressedly: "Why do you always torture yourself like this, the third elder brother is no longer there." ”

"Hongsheng, the governor of the palace, is gone, and even the emperor is not here." Nian glanced around the luxurious palace under the candlelight and said, "Look at this Yikun Palace, how deserted, just like a cold palace." ”

"No, the emperor is just busy with court affairs, and he can't take time to see the master for a while, and when he is free, he will naturally come over, so you must take care of yourself, otherwise the emperor will see your haggard appearance, but you have to worry." Lu Yi knows that the master of the Dao is not only sad for the third elder brother, but also sad for the emperor's coldness, but she is just a minion, except for persuading a few words, she can't do anything, "By the way, the slave asked the father-in-law who worked in the imperial pharmacy to get a recipe for black hair, it is said that if you apply it to your hair every day, within 100 days, you can make the white hair turn black, and after the slave and maid prepare something, she will give it to the master." ”

"No need, Hongu is not interested." Nian raised his hand and slowly stroked his long gray hair, just a few days ago, there was still black hair like a cloud here, "Besides, no matter how beautiful the palace is, the emperor will not come, he has no palace in his heart." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly explained: "No, the emperor has been the first favor to treat the master over the years, and when the emperor ascended the throne, only the master was named a concubine, even if the one in the Chengqian Palace was only a concubine." ”

Nian shook his head and said: "It may have been like this before, but since Hongsheng went, the palace felt that the emperor's whole person had changed, the last time the palace went to the Palace of Cultivation to see the emperor, his appearance really made the palace feel cold, I feel that in the past 20 years, the palace has never really known the emperor." Sometimes the palace really wonders if the emperor named the palace as a concubine, whether it is just in the face of Hongsheng; Now that Hongsheng is gone, the palace is naturally nothing. ”

"What did the master say, the palace has always been the son of the mother, if the third elder brother was not born to the master, how could the emperor value it so much. Don't you look at Concubine Yu, she also gave birth to a prince, but the emperor's eyes when he looked at the fifth elder brother, where can he compare with when he looked at the third elder brother. Seeing that Nian's expression was still unimpressive, Lu Yi persuaded a few words, and couldn't help sighing, squatting in front of Nian's and saying: "Master, the slave knows that you feel uncomfortable, but life has to go on, if you fall, the happiest are the queen and Concubine Xi, the two of them have been waiting to see the master's jokes, do you really want them to take advantage of their wishes?" ”

This sentence seemed to stimulate Nian's, the face slowly became distorted and hideous, and at the same time, his hands were clenched hard, and the nails that were somewhat deformed because he had not been trimmed for several days poked into his palms, and in the pain, she said word by word: "The more they want to see the jokes of the palace, the more the palace will not let them see it, even if Hongsheng is gone, the palace must live well, and the palace will find out who he died at, and then cut off the flesh on that person's body piece by piece." ”

"Green, groom and remove makeup for the palace, and the palace is tired to rest." Saying this, Nian's eyes froze into focus, and the vitality returned to that face, she wanted to prove to everyone that even if she didn't have a son, she was still the most favored concubine in the palace, and no one could delusionally look at her jokes. As for Yinzhen, she will also try to make her change her mind.

"Yes." Lu Yi happily agreed, twisted the clean face towel and handed it to Nian, at this time, the wind began to pick up outside, blowing the unclosed window sash on the frame and clanging.

Luyi walked over and wanted to close the window, but he didn't think that he would inadvertently raise his eyes, and he saw a miserable white and green face, with two feet hidden in the dark and couldn't see clearly, or maybe there were no feet at all.

After just one glance, Lu Yi screamed in fright, covered his eyes with his hands, squatted on the ground and shouted: "Ghost! Ghosts! There are ghosts! ”
