The cold wind blew, and with a chill that penetrated into the bones, the trees had already withered. A few clouds in the sky obscured the sunlight, and the weather suddenly became gloomy.

Sun Pingling looked at Qian Yan in front of her, and felt that her gaze was like this cold wind, which made people's hearts cool for a while, and she smiled reluctantly: "Why did the queen say this? I just thought about the little prince, and I didn't think about interfering with the queen in anything." ”

Qian Yan glanced at Sun Pingling coldly, and shouted to the person he brought in behind him: "Search for this palace." ”

"Queen, what do you mean by this?" Sun Pingling was shocked, "This is my dormitory, not a place where the queen can search if you want!"

"Are you weak-hearted?" Qian Yan sneered, "Don't forget, you are just the imperial concubine, and this palace is the queen, and this palace is the queen." Over the years, Your Majesty has snubbed me, given you unlimited power and glory, let you contain the palace, and completely elevated the palace, and the palace is too lazy to care about those mundane things, so it doesn't care about those things. This palace has repeatedly tolerated you, but you have to make inches, and you actually want to murder my emperor!"

She looked at Sun Pingling and smiled mockingly: "You Sun Pingling, the imperial concubine, is highly respected and highly praised inside and outside the palace! You have outstanding ability, handle the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner, are not jealous or jealous, and can handle the relationship between all the concubines, and you always stand on Your Majesty's side to consider, hoping that the blood of the royal family can continue, how selfless and how noble and bright this is! This palace almost believed that you are such a different woman! But now this palace has seen through your hypocrisy!"

Sun Pingling swallowed his saliva and said calmly: "Did the queen misunderstand me?"

"Misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding?" Qian Yan sneered, "This palace knows that you want your child to become the crown prince of Nanchu, but you don't want to hurt the emperor of this palace for half a point!"

"I didn't think about hurting anyone. Sun Pingling patiently explained, "Queen, what happened?"

"Haha!" Qian Yan smiled, "Come on, search for this palace immediately!"

"Queen, don't deceive people too much, I respect you as the queen, let you have three points, don't get an inch!" Sun Pingling said sharply, "Your Majesty is not in the palace right now, this is not a place where you can come nonsense." ”

"Even if you dare to act recklessly because Your Majesty is not there, if Your Majesty is here, do you have the courage to do this?" Qian Yan smiled, "I won't give up today, even if I don't want this posterior, even if I give up this life, I will save my emperor, I won't let your conspiracy succeed!"

"Search!" Qian Yan looked at Sun Pingling coldly, "If I can't find anything from you today, when Your Majesty comes back, this palace will personally go to Your Majesty to ask for guilt, Imperial Concubine, do you dare to let me search it?"

"I don't know why the queen has to search me here, but since the queen is not at ease, then I will let the queen search it. Sun Pingling said helplessly, "Queen, the war ahead is tight at the moment, Your Majesty and the soldiers on the front line have already paid a lot, at this time, we can't make any mistakes in the back, so as not to let the enemy take advantage of the loophole." ”

"High-sounding words, you've said a lot. Qian Yan said, "Anyway, I won't believe any of your words, since the imperial concubine has no opinion, come here, go in and search!"

The people in the queen's palace immediately went in and searched for it, and the people in the concubine's palace naturally refused to be idle, and immediately followed.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Qian Yan squinted at the unclear sunlight in the sky.

"What's weird?"

"There's a war ahead. Qian Yan said lightly, "Why does Your Majesty have to attack Mulan." ”

"It must be His Majesty's tactic. Sun Pingling smiled, "What's so strange about this?"

"My imperial brother said that whether His Majesty would attack or not was not a tactic they discussed at all, and His Majesty acted suddenly. Qian Yan looked at Sun Pingling coldly, "Don't deceive yourself, the reason why Your Majesty did this is for Jiang Liu's slut! It is rumored that Jiang Liu once went to Northern Xia to help Northern Xia survive a crisis, so Your Majesty wants to take revenge on Jiang Liu!"

"Your Majesty is not such an emotional person. Sun Pingling smiled, "The queen doesn't have to think nonsense. ”

"Whether it's me cranky or you're deceiving yourself, you'll know when the time comes. Qian Yan snorted.

At this time, I saw a palace man running out with a rag doll, kneeling in front of Qian Yan and reporting: "Niangniang, this is really found in a cabinet in the concubine's bedroom." ”

Qian Yan picked up the rag doll full of needles and took a look, and the back of this rag doll was pasted with the birthday of the little prince, her eyes were full of anger, she threw the rag doll to the ground, and said sharply: "As the imperial concubine, you actually use such a subordinate method, what else do you have to say!"

Sun Ping Lingling froze for a moment, she squatted down and picked up the rag doll on the ground, glanced at it, her face suddenly changed, and hurriedly explained: "This is ...... I don't know what it is!"

"I found it in your dormitory, do you still want to quibble now?" Qian Yan raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Today, the emperor has been distressed and doesn't know, the imperial doctor came to check that the child is in good health, this palace is suspected of using witchcraft to harm people behind his back, it seems that this palace's guess is really correct, the person behind this harm is you! The dignified concubine actually attacked a child, how did those righteous and awe-inspiring words come out of your mouth before? This palace now feels extremely disgusted when it sees your face!"

Sun Pingling's body trembled slightly, bit his lip and said, "Someone framed me, I don't know what this thing is! Queen, someone must want to frame me! I will definitely find out the truth!"

"The thief shouted to catch the thief, everyone got the stolen goods, and they still wanted to quibble, jokes!" The queen smiled coldly, "Imperial concubine, you used witchcraft to murder the prince, and you still don't know the crime!"

Sun Pingling knelt down: "Queen Mingjian, I don't know about this matter, someone must have framed me!"

"This palace sees that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Qian Yan sneered, "It seems that you will only tell the truth if you are served by the great punishment!"

The people brought by the queen were about to step forward to take Sun Pingling down, and at this time, dozens of royal forest troops rushed in and surrounded the queen.

Qian Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone coldly: "What do you want to do? This palace is the master of the harem, and this palace now wants to exercise the self-blame and power of being the queen, you should step back immediately!"

No one retreated.

"Do you want to rebel?" Qian Yan shouted, "What do you want to do?"

Sun Pingling slowly stood up from the ground, looked at Qian Yan lightly, and smiled slightly: "Queen, I just said, someone must be trying to frame me, the queen is calm, I will definitely find out the real murderer." ”

"Your Majesty is not here, and even the Imperial Forest Army is under your command. Qian Yan laughed a few times, "Your Majesty is going to force this palace to death! If this queen, Sun Pingling, covers the sky with one hand, will there still be a way for our mother and son to live?"

"Queen, your emotions are too excited, let's go back and rest first. Sun Pingling said, "I will definitely give the queen the truth she wants, and the queen just needs to wait patiently!

"Yes!" said the Guards in unison.

Qian Yan bit his lip tightly: "Okay, very good!" Then he turned around and walked away quickly.

Sun Pingling looked at the rag doll with needles in her hand, and after a while, she raised her eyes and glanced at her palace people, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

The palace people knelt down in unison: "The slaves and maids don't know." ”

"Did you watch them search?"

"Back to Niangniang, it was the slave maid who saw them search out of a cupboard. A palace maid said, "Someone must have hidden this rag doll in advance, and then lured the queen to search for it, so as to frame the mother." ”

Who the hell is it? Who is trying to harm her?

"Check!" Sun Pingling said, "This matter must be investigated clearly!"

"Yes!"

Qian Yan returned to his bedroom, and at this time the little prince had woken up, but he didn't continue to cry, and his spirit was not very good.

She hugged the little prince in distress: "Has the child been breastfeeding?"

"The little prince has never had much appetite. The nurse said, "I usually have a good appetite, but today I don't know why, I refuse to eat, and I don't seem to have any energy at all!"

"This slut, must be like this, my emperor?" Qian Yan walked a few steps in the room with the child in his arms, "What should I do? Now that the slut in this palace has the final say, this queen in this palace is just an ornament, how can I be the opponent of that slut?"

At this time, the palace maid reported: "Niangniang, Concubine Qi asks to see." ”

"What is she doing here?" Qian Yan said impatiently, "let her in." ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, I saw Qi Qinyin enter, and after asking for peace, she asked cautiously: "Niangniang, the concubine just heard that the little prince is a little uncomfortable, I don't know what is going on now?" Niangniang seems to have gone to find the imperial concubine for the sake of the little prince's affairs. ”

"Yes, this palace suspects that the slut is cursing the little prince behind his back with witchcraft, so he went to search, but he didn't expect that the palace really found the rag doll she used to curse people, but unfortunately, now the palace listens to her alone, Your Majesty is not there, even if the palace finds evidence?

"What, there is such a thing!" Qi Qinyin sat down on the ground, "How is the little prince doing now?"

"It's just not very energetic. Qian Yan said lightly, "It's just that the slut can shoot the first time and can shoot the second time, and now the mother and son of this palace are the meat on her chopping board!"

"What should I do?" Qi Qinyin cried with a pale face, "Queen, the little prince is still young, Your Majesty hasn't named him yet, Niangniang, you must protect him!"

Qian Yan glanced at Qi Qinyin: "He is the son of the palace, the palace will naturally protect him, you don't need to worry." ”

Qi Qinyin wiped her tears: "It's the concubine's body that has a lot of mouths, if the queen uses a place where the concubine's body can be used, the concubine body must be there!"

"You go now, if the palace needs you, it will look for you!" Qian Yan said irritably.

"Yes, the concubine is retired!"

Qi Qinyin cried out of the queen's bedroom, but as soon as she went out, the sad look on her face disappeared without a trace, she quickly returned to her bedroom, and the palace maids were all out, pondering alone.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from behind the curtain and asked, "How is the situation outside?"

"Your prediction is good, Qian Yan has now lost her sense of proportion, and she hates and fears Sun Pingling, as long as she provokes it again, she is not afraid that she will not do anything impulsive. Qi Qinyin said lightly, she lowered her eyes and thought about it, and then asked, "Then it has no effect on the child, right?"

"You still care about that kid?"

The person who quietly appeared was none other than Qingling.

"Anyway, I conceived him in October. Qi Qinyin said lightly, "In order to repay Your Majesty's grace, I can even use my own children as tools, and I don't owe Your Majesty." ”

"Since you can't bear this child, we can take him away. Qing Ling said.

"Will Your Majesty tolerate him?" Qi Qinyin smiled, "I'm not a fool. ”

Back then, because she was a little similar to the woman His Majesty liked, she was found by Xie Xuan and wanted to give it to His Majesty, but His Majesty was unmoved, and later Xie Xuan saw that she was unpleasant and wanted to kill her, but His Majesty saved her life from Xie Xuan's hands.

Later, His Majesty gave her a task, forged an identity for her, and became the daughter of an ordinary eunuch in Nanchu, and then entered the palace and accompanied Mi Zi.

She plays the role of a favorite concubine in her own way, separating the relationship between the queen and Mi Zi, the relationship between the queen and the imperial concubine, and even her children can become weapons and tools for her to use.

"Xie Xuan is dead. Qing Ling said.

"If you do much injustice, you will be killed. Qi Qinyin said expressionlessly, "She has done so many evil things, she should have died a long time ago." ”

She glanced at Qing Ling and asked, "After my mission is completed, can I go back to Northern Xia?"

"Of course. Qing Ling nodded, "When the time comes, we'll go back together." ”

The corners of Qi Qinyin's mouth showed some slight amplitude: "I've always wanted to go back, this place is like hell for me." I live a very tangled life, I am very scared, I am very hesitant, I want to go back, find a place where no one knows me, start living from the heart, I want to forget everything in the past. ”

Mi Zi treats her very well and dotes on her. But she knew from the time she entered the palace that she was just a stand-in, a stand-in in Northern Xia, and a stand-in in Southern Chu. The better Qi Zi treats her, the more sad she will feel.

People can be ruthless, if she is the most sorry person in addition to her own children, there is another person who is the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is a good person, I don't know if there will be a good reward in the end.

She glanced at Qing Ling, and a light smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she was afraid that she would not be able to get a good reward.

"Have you seen her?" Qi Qinyin asked.

"Who?"

"The guy I'm alike. Qi Qinyin asked lightly, "What kind of person is she?"

"What do you say?" Qing Ling thought for a moment, "When I first saw her, I thought she was just an empty bag, although I didn't like her very much, but His Majesty asked me to protect her, I just need to complete my mission." After getting along, I found that she is actually a very good person, very gentle to people, no shelf, and will not be pampered and arrogant, and very talented. ”

After a pause, Qing Ling continued: "You know that she is full of secrets, but you can't bear to pierce it, you want to see what kind of secrets she is hiding, and you won't unconsciously want to help her do what she wants to do, and help her keep things she doesn't want people to know." She was like a light, unnecessarily dazzling, and like a fog, making it impossible to see what she was thinking. Maybe that's the only way to make people fall deeper and deeper. ”

"She left Your Majesty, a woman left a man, maybe this woman will never shine again, but she is different, after she left, she is still radiant, I can still hear those legends about her, she makes me envious, makes me want to follow. ”

"No wonder!" Qi Qinyin smiled slightly, "No wonder both Your Majesty and Qi Zi have a deep affection for her, and it may be my blessing to be able to be a little similar to her." ”

Qing Ling smiled slightly: "You are also a wonderful woman. ”

"But after all, I can only be her shadow. Qi Qinyin smiled bitterly, "In the past two days, the imperial concubine is only afraid that she will thoroughly investigate the affairs of the rag doll, you have to be careful with everything, and your whereabouts should not be exposed, otherwise we will fall short." ”

"I understand. Qingling nodded, "Before Sun Pingling investigates everything clearly, give Qian Yan a pair of medicines and let her do it first, as long as something happens in the palace, I believe that Mi Zi will inevitably withdraw from the army, and then Mulan's danger will be lifted." We are a very critical part here, and we can't make any mistakes. ”

"I know. Qi Qinyin nodded, "Even if I die, I won't let the plan fail with me." ”

Qing Ling looked outside with some concern, and at this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly sprinkled down, spreading a layer of gold on the ground, and the scenery in the palace was shrouded in this pale gold, which seemed hazy and ethereal.

Girl, you have to hold on, you must survive until the time when Mi Zi retreats.

Whether it is Mulan or Northern Xia, they will survive and usher in peace.
