The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Zhi Lan would never have expected that she was not only being monitored by Yan Qi at all times, but also being stared at by another pair of dark eyes.

This person is the tenth prince Yi Zhixu, he didn't sleep all night, completely because he couldn't get the throne and was so anxious that he couldn't sleep, just when he heard that Li Falcon was making trouble outside, he also wanted to come out to take a look, after all, this Li Gongzi was calling the name of the queen of the dynasty, and most importantly, Yi Zhixu always felt that the child in Zhilan's belly was not the heir of the Son of Heaven.

All this was just his initial thoughts, but after seeing Zhi Lan's figure today, Yi Zhixu once again had an extremely bold thought: that is, the queen of the dynasty was not pregnant at all.

Perhaps because he was so angry by Yan Qi's actions, the footsteps under the angry Zhilan were also a lot faster, so that he didn't ask Xiaoli to help him, and climbed the steps on his own, walking extremely fast, not at all like the form that a pregnant woman would show. What's more, Zhi Lan's body is upright, and she doesn't have a cautious posture, how can a pregnant woman in this world care so much about the safety of the child in her belly? Just swaggering down the stairs? Yi Zhixu is really puzzled, in other words, he really wants the queen to say everything she once said is her nonsense.

Only by being vain can Yi Zhixu have a chance to debunk her.

staring at the queen's posture for a long time, Yi Zhixu never saw her cautious behavior, and the delusion in his heart intensified.

Now Zhi Lan's lower abdomen is still not bulging, and the fetal image of the first month of pregnancy is not stable, when the thought is over, some evil thoughts in Yi Zhixu's heart finally come to work. Regardless of whether Zhi Lan is pregnant or not, and whose fetus she is pregnant, he is bound to completely shatter Zhi Lan's delusion of wanting to use the child to control the power of the DPRK and China.

One day, Zhilan woke up from the side of the Son of Heaven, and now she has moved to the Son of Heaven's bedroom to keep watch over Yi Zhixing at all times, but when she wakes up every day, fresh loneliness and loneliness will sweep in, because the face of the man next to her is always pale and speechless.

Zhilan sighed helplessly, and then got up in her clothes. In this process, she had to think of everything that happened last night, she was extremely ashamed of Li Falcon and Qin Yuyan, but she had no other choice last night, whether it was for her own safety or for Li Falcon's safety, she had to show her cool side.

If Yi Zhixing can wake up again, Zhi Lan will take the initiative to explain everything last night to the two of them, but if Yi Zhixing does not wake up for a long time, Zhi Lan will have to maintain the status quo of not disturbing each other.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Xiao Li dressed her up, but Zhilan's palm kept rubbing the auspicious bird hairpin. She didn't know how long she could hold on, but whenever she couldn't support it, as long as she caressed this hairpin, Zhilan's heart could return to peace again. She knew that she had to persevere for Yi Zhixing, even if there was only one side of the confusion floating in front of her, Zhilan also had to go to Zhou Xuan, a careerist of all kinds, for the hope of being confused.

"Niangniang, the sacrificial ceremony will start later, we have to hurry up."

"Well, Hongu knows."

Today, it is the annual sacrificial ceremony of the Yin Palace, and as the Yin Kingdom without the sovereignty of the Son of Heaven, it is natural for the queen in the Yin Palace to appear in person to preside over the overall situation.

Zhi Lan was dressed in a gorgeous costume, and her powerful makeup was close to her face.

In order to show her sincerity, the queen had to walk to the altar herself, and it was inevitably impatient to walk the 300 steps in front of everyone.

With so many pairs of eyes watching, Zhi Lan had to tell herself all the time, and now that she was a pregnant person, she must show caution and the dignity of the queen in her posture.

"Queen Mother, either the slave and maid will help you up, you are pregnant with Xiaolongzi......"

"No, if you are asked to help, it will inevitably be let this group of people chew the root of their tongues later, and it has always been the courtiers who walked up in person, we still have to stick to our sincerity to the gods, otherwise the people will continue to criticize."

Zhilan just wants to minimize the unnecessary disasters around her, so she wants to do everything herself. What's more, she is not pregnant, but it is only three hundred steps to pace, which has never been difficult for Zhi Lan.

"The most important thing is, isn't Guard Yan down here? Presumably, nothing will go wrong with this palace. ”

After saying that, Zhi Lan instantly cast a mocking glance at the serious man beside him, and the confrontation between the two is still strong to this day.

Yan Qi didn't pay attention to her, on the contrary, her expression was solemn and vigilant, as if she was worried about something.

Looking at his appearance, Zhi Lan was even more angry, thinking that she was being snubbed by this man, so she also looked away at the same time, and then gradually climbed the three hundred steps in front of everyone.

Along the way, Zhilan always maintained a cautious posture, and kept her right hand lightly on her abdomen, as if she was protecting the fetus in her belly.

Everyone below watched with fear, if the queen fell from this high staircase, the only hope of the Yin Kingdom would be extinguished. Although there are many careerists among the ministers, there are also those who want everything to be safe, they just want everything to go smoothly under the rules of their ancestors, and they must not change, usurping power and seizing the throne is an outcome that almost no one wants to see.

Step by step, each step made the queen walk extremely steadily, and gradually, the courtiers below had no worries, thinking that everything would be as peaceful as imagined.

However, the four words of peace and peace will never appear in the palace, the palace has always been a place of cunning and treachery, even if Zhilan is now the queen, there is no way to escape the intentions of the cunning.

When it came to the last few steps, Zhilan suddenly slipped her foot, not because of her stumbling foot, but because of some kind of sticky substance under her feet. Like oil, like water, Zhi Lan staggered a few steps, trying to struggle to stand firm, and the people below also watched her stumbling figure with fear, and her snort followed Zhi Lan's figure from time to time, but the queen finally fell backwards due to the unstable center of gravity, and her steps slipped.

"Ahh

When he saw the pregnant queen fall from the stairs, there was a burst of shouts from the bottom of her head. Xiao Li covered his mouth, his trembling pupils flickered endlessly in his eyes, Yan Qi's eyebrows tightened, and he hurriedly rushed upward.

However, the time for the queen to fall is only a moment, and it is impossible to rush up to catch the queen.

At this time, seeing Zhi Lan falling heavily on the steps, his body kept rolling on the three hundred steps, as if he was about to roll straight to the end, and the fierce situation made Zhi Lan unable to control it at all.

Seeing this, the cries around him continued one after another, and everyone was worried about the safety of the fetus in the queen's womb.

In the end, due to Yan Qi's departure, the queen's falling situation was finally strongly stopped. However, at this time, Zhilan had already rolled down half of the steps, and the soreness in her body made her dizzy, and she wanted to gag when she didn't have time to thank the person in front of her for help.

It's a pity that the matter is far from over, in the dark that others can't see, Yan Qi quietly handed her a dagger, which made Zhi Lan's gratitude completely disappear.

At first, the queen did not know what this meant, because now she only felt that her body was about to be broken, and she was constantly trying to gag, so she could not immediately realize the gravity of the present situation. But when Yan Qi said something in his ear, Zhilan suddenly woke up from his trance.

"Are you crazy?"

The woman secretly scolded angrily in Yan Qi's ear.

"If the queen can't do it, then she can only do it herself."

When these words fell, Zhi Lan suddenly frowned, her face showed a burning embarrassment, but her right hand always held the dagger tightly, and she didn't dare to return it to the person in front of her.

"Queen, you'd better hurry up, don't make others suspicious."

Yan Qi's urging voice and cold gaze have been engraved on the queen's face, and the queen only feels that she may be injured by the person beside her at any time, so she can only lift the blade on her own.

"This palace does it yourself, you don't need to ......"

As soon as the words fell, but seeing that Zhi Lan closed her eyes tightly, and then gritted her teeth and stabbed her in the abdomen mercilessly, Yan Qi hurriedly covered her body with her outer clothes, and then hugged her horizontally in front of everyone.

At this time, the blood continued to flow from the queen's body, and the courtiers below immediately exclaimed.

"Oh no! Oh no! Hurry up and ask for a doctor! Hurry up and ask for a doctor! You must keep the dragon! We must protect the lifeblood of our Yin Kingdom! ”

"Hurry up and ask for a doctor! Hurry up and ask for a doctor! ”

The solemn sacrificial ceremony was instantly replaced by the scorching scene, Zhi Lan endured the pain and pinched Yan Qi who was holding her fiercely.

Yan Qi's expression did not change, and he replied softly: "Queen Mother, this is no problem in the next place, you who have been pregnant for less than a month must see blood in order to make everyone completely feel at ease." ”

"This palace can tell you, you had better save this palace, this palace can be stabbed a lot, if this palace dies unexpectedly, you will not be able to benefit!"

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely try my best to save you. But I have to remind you that the days in the palace have always been the most uncertain, if you want to live a stable life, the queen mother you must always hold a heart that may be hurt by a sharp blade at any time, and it is not just a simple matter to come to Rixing to permit. ”

Yan Qi's voice was undoubtedly dyed with sarcasm and ridicule, and in the face of Zhi Lan's tragic situation, to be honest, he was happier than anyone else.

Zhi Lan's lips were pale, but she still couldn't hide her anger at the person in front of her now. She knew that if Shicai didn't do it herself, she would still not be able to escape the fate of being stabbed, although all this was not Yan Qi's plan today, but when Yan Qi handed over the knife, Zhi Lan still couldn't help but spurn his vicious behavior.

"Slut!"

The queen scolded angrily, but her eyes closed under the gaze of everyone.

At this time, most of the crowd was anxious, except for one person standing casually, with a smile on his lips.

This person is Yi Zhixu, the culprit who planned all this. He was indeed surprised by Zhi Lan's bleeding, because Yi Zhixu thought that the queen was not pregnant at all, so he wanted to expose her mask today, after all, a healthy woman, or a woman who had practiced martial arts, would not bleed profusely from falling. However, since Zhi Lan is pregnant, this fall will inevitably mean that Dayin's heirs will not be guaranteed, no matter what the final outcome is, it will always be beneficial to Yi Zhixu.

"Hmph, this throne is destined to be the son of this prince. Little imperial nephew, you must go well. ”

Yi Zhixu was proud, thinking that everything was in his hands. However, to his surprise, his imperial nephew was not as fragile as he imagined, and he remained firmly in the queen's womb.

After all, this is an imaginary child, a completely non-existent child, so whether he can survive in the world must be up to Zhilan alone.
