"Get out of here! It's all rubbish! Chu Lanxi sprinkled all the anger he received from Xiao Qiming on the maid in the room.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiming hurriedly pushed open the door, walked in and hugged Chu Lanxi into his arms.

When Chu Lanxi saw it, as soon as he saw Xiao Qiming coming, he immediately pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "Isn't Your Highness unwilling to see me?" Then what are you doing with me?"

Xiao Qiming immediately comforted him: "How can I not want to see you." It's just been too busy lately. Won't Your Highness come to see you when you're done? ”

When Chu Lanxi heard this, the originally aggrieved mood immediately made her a lot happier. The two of them hugged each other, you and me, and the atmosphere instantly became a lot more ambiguous.

On this day, Emperor Liang Wendi finally came to the queen's bedroom, and the queen seized the opportunity to blow the pillow wind in Emperor Liang's ears.

"Your Majesty, Qi Ming is not young anymore, and there is no one around him to serve and take care of him except Lanxi. The concubine thought, should he put the day of choosing the concubine on the agenda? ”

Emperor Liang Wen heard this and thought: "Although the side concubine is also a wife, after all, the concubine is the real wife and the strongest backing of the royal nobles." Xiao Qiming is indeed not young, and marrying a concubine is also a reasonable thing. ”

So Emperor Liang Wendi said: "You are right. As for the candidate for the concubine, I still have to think about it. You can choose this matter first. ”

The next day, the queen called Xiao Qiming to tell him about the emperor's promise to marry him, originally thought that Xiao Qiming would be very happy, but who knew that Xiao Qiming's attitude was not very clear. Chu Lanxi, who inquired about Xiao Qiming's entry into the palace from time to time in the palace, knew the news that Xiao Qiming was going to choose a concubine, and immediately lost his temper in the palace.

The maidservants and guards didn't dare to persuade them, so they could only stand aside silently, waiting for Chu Lanxi to vent herself.

After Xiao Qiming returned home, Chu Lanxi immediately threw himself into his arms and began to cry: "Your Highness, you are going to choose a concubine, what should Lanxi do?" ”

Xiao Qiming looked at the woman who was crying in his arms, and felt pity in his heart: "The choice of concubine was proposed by the queen mother, and my father also agreed, but His Royal Highness has no way to refuse." ”

Chu Lanxi raised his head aggrievedly, his eyes red.

When Xiao Qiming saw this, his heart ached, and he hugged Chu Lanxi tightly and said, "Lanxi is worried that he will be left out in the cold? Don't worry, Your Highness has only you in her heart, but whoever I marry as a concubine is just a last resort, and Your Highness assures you that I will never snub you because of her. ”

Chu Lanxi listened, and the discomfort in his heart gradually subsided. Telling about grievances is only one of them, what Chu Lanxi is most concerned about is, who is the princess in the heart of the queen and the emperor and Xiao Qiming?

"Then does Your Highness have any ideas about the selection of the princess?" Knock on the side of Chulan Creek.

The best candidate for the princess in Xiao Qiming's heart is, of course, Zhao Lingshu. It's just that so many things happened a few days ago, Xiao Qiming was afraid that Chu Lanxi would be angry if he knew that he still had thoughts about Zhao Lingshu, so he said: "The candidate in my heart is Zhao Lingshu, after all, Wei Guogong's power in his father and the court is too great." I'm thinking about how to ask my father to marry Zhao Lingshu tomorrow. ”

I thought that Chu Lanxi would be jealous, but who knew that Chu Lanxi had already disdained Zhao Lingshu in his heart, so he was very much in favor of Xiao Qiming's decision.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about Lan Xi being jealous, Lan Xi understands that this is all for His Highness's long-term plans. Besides, Lan Xi has already seen that Zhao Lingshu is not pleasing to the eye, and when she passes the door, I must teach her a good lesson, and His Royal Highness will not feel sorry for her at that time. ”

"How could His Highness feel sorry for her? She is a pawn in my heart. When His Highness marries her, he will be given full authority to you. Xiao Qiming said with a smile.

Chu Lanxi became happy at this time, and the two of them then began to discuss, how to retaliate against her when Zhao Lingshu passed the door.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Qiming got up. When the attendants had changed his clothes and tied his hair, he immediately went to the morning court.

Above the court, Xiao Qiming said to Emperor Wen of Liang: "My father, my son, and Zhao Lingshu, the daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, are in love with each other, and they have already made a private agreement with Qin and Jin. Now Erchen wants to fulfill his promise and marry Zhao Lingshu as a concubine! ”

"Erchen is against it!" As soon as Xiao Qiming's words fell, Xiao Qisheng and Xiao Qiyun stood up against it at the same time.

"Why are you against it?" Emperor Liang Wen watched these sons fight directly and didn't break it, just watched quietly.

"Father, they oppose me with ill intentions! They want to stop my marriage to the corpse, just to fulfill their own selfish intentions! Xiao Qiming hurriedly interrupted.

Erchen also likes Zhao Lingshu. The third brother said that he and Zhao Lingshu were in love, but now that Miss Zhao is not in the court, he can't prove it. In this case, the third brother's words cannot be fully believed! Xiao Qiyun said.

"Is that all you object?" Emperor Liang Wendi asked calmly.

"I don't know this, Erchen wants to compete fairly with the third brother, let Miss Zhao choose by herself, and Erchen will lose and lose." Xiao Qiyun kowtowed to show sincerity.

Emperor Liang Wendi turned his head again and asked Xiao Qisheng, who did not speak: "Then what is the reason for your objection?" ”

Xiao Qisheng only said: "This matter is related to Miss Zhao's lifelong happiness, and it should be up to him to make the decision himself." ”

Xiao Qiming knew that no matter what happened in the future, Xiao Qisheng and Xiao Qiyun must be on the same side at this time, so he knelt down directly in the court and said, "Father, the fifth brother and the sixth brother said these words. It's clearly trying to ruin my happiness! Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”

Emperor Liang Wen saw that the contradictions between the three of them were gradually deepening, and they all looked tense, so he interrupted the dispute between the three of them: "Okay, don't quarrel anymore." Stand down, I have my own ideas. ”

Seeing that Emperor Wen Liang did not approve of his proposal, Xiao Qiming immediately ran to the queen's bedroom for help after leaving the early dynasty.

The queen learned that Xiao Qiming wanted to marry Zhao Lingshu as a concubine, but was blocked and destroyed by Xiao Qisheng and Xiao Qiyun.

"This matter must have nothing to do with that Cui Guifei. Qiming, don't worry, this palace will find a way for you, Zhao Lingshu, this palace will definitely let you marry her smoothly! The queen clenched her fists with a determined and vicious expression.

That night, the queen's personal maid ran to the place where Emperor Liang Wen was reviewing the folds, and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother suddenly has a headache, and the imperial doctor has not found any symptoms no matter how much she examines it!" ”

"What?" Emperor Wen Liang put down the fold, "Tell my imperial doctor to take a good look!" Saying that, Emperor Liang Wen also followed the palace maid towards the queen's bedroom to see the queen's situation.

The imperial doctor came to the queen's bedroom, diagnosed the pulse for a while, and then shook his head: "Your Majesty, the courtier's doctor is not skilled, and he has not diagnosed the cause of the queen's headache. ”

"Stand down!" Emperor Wen Liang frowned and waved his hand for the imperial doctor to step back.

A few days later, the queen's headache became more and more serious, and the imperial doctor frequently prescribed medicine for her to check her pulse, but to no avail.

"Your Majesty, the concubines suspect that someone is jealous of the concubine's position as the queen and wants to harm the concubine. I hope that the emperor can strictly investigate this matter for the concubines. "The queen was lying on her hospital bed, very weak.

"You can recuperate in peace. I will investigate this matter to the end. Emperor Liang Wendi held the empress's hand and promised seriously.

Out of the queen's bedroom, Emperor Wen Liang ordered a comprehensive search, and for a while, the entire palace was in chaos.

After searching for several days, the guards finally found a small paper figure full of needles in Liu Qingshu's bedroom, and the little paper figure was also pasted with the queen's birthday.

Emperor Liang Wendi took the small paper figure that he had searched out, and his face turned black on the spot.

"Look at the good things you do!" Emperor Liang Wendi threw the little paper figure at Liu Qingshu's feet.

"Wronged, this is not a concubine. Your Majesty, the concubines are really wronged! Liu Qingshu knelt on the ground, and she didn't admit that she put this little paper figure to death.

"Who are you if it's not you? This is your dormitory, can anyone else put something under your nose? Emperor Liang Wendi didn't listen to Liu Qingshu's explanation at all, and directly asked the guards to catch Liu Qingshu.

"Concubine Shu of the Liu family, with an extreme personality, a ruthless and vicious mind, used witchcraft to murder the queen of the dynasty. Since then, the Liu family has been put in prison. I can't release it without my permission! ”

"The emperor spares his life! The emperor really didn't do it with a concubine! The concubine was wronged! Liu Qingshu was dragged away by the guards, but she still did not give up pleading with Emperor Wen Liang for herself.

Hearing the news that Emperor Liang Wen had sent Liu Qingshu to prison, the queen was very happy and satisfied with Emperor Liang Wen's actions.

When Emperor Wen Liang came to visit her in the queen's bedroom, the queen said to Emperor Wen Liang: "Thank you for the emperor's support for the concubines." The concubine already felt much better. ”

Who knew that Emperor Liang Wen entered the door but only put his hands behind his back, contrary to the gentle care at the beginning, and just said lightly to the palace maids and eunuchs in the room: "Go out." No one is allowed to come near without my permission. ”

The palace maids and eunuchs all received orders to go out and closed the door. The queen couldn't help but panic when she watched Emperor Liang Wen retreat from everyone.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

That night, Emperor Wen of Liang stayed in the queen's dormitory for a long time. No one knows what they did or talked about. Only the queen lost her temper after Emperor Liang Wen pushed the door and left, and threw everything that could be dropped in the palace.

Liu Qingshu, who was thrown into the prison, was full of unwillingness. She shouted in prison every day, "The concubine is wronged", and her voice was complaining, echoing in the prison for a long time, but no one paid attention.

In order to survive, Liu Qingshu gave the only valuable thing on her body to a jailer: "Please, help me pass a message to Cui Guifei and let her save me." You tell him I'm in prison, and he'll come to my rescue!" ”

The jailer accepted Liu Qingshu's earrings, and only looked at Liu Qingshu with pity, thinking, "This stupid girl, I haven't seen anyone rescued in the prison." But after receiving people's things, he still decided to help her pass the word, so that she could die of this heart.

When Cui Guifei learned that Liu Qingshu was imprisoned, she had already guessed that it was the queen's hand. But now, she can only barely protect herself, where can she save her? I can only ask the palace maid to send her some jewelry, and let her take care of the jailers herself, so that her life will not be so bad.

But Liu Qingshu sent things out, but life became more and more difficult.

Those jailers took Liu Qingshu's things, but they didn't do things for her. There were also some bold jailers who saw that no one came to see Liu Qingshu, so they expected that Liu Qingshu would not be able to turn over. Several of the jailers were from poor backgrounds and had never married a wife. After all, Liu Qingshu is the most favored concubine and a first-class beauty. Seeing this, the jailers secretly drugged Liu Qingshu's food.

That night, several jailers walked into Liu Qingshu's cell and took the unconscious Liu Qingshu directly into one.
