Liu Ying came out of Changle Palace, and An Su quickly chased after him. He seemed to need someone to talk to at the moment, so he asked the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him to follow him far away, leaving only An Su to walk with him.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Queen Mother has no malicious intentions, just ......" An Su thought that he was the palace person of Changle Palace, if he could persuade the emperor and the queen mother to ease the relationship, it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to him. But as soon as the words came out, they were interrupted by Liu Ying.

"I don't know what the queen mother meant, it's just the past, she did a little too much, I still wake up in my sleep when I think about it now." Liu Ying clenched her fists, "Do you know that my father once had a lady Qi who was good at singing and dancing, and she also had a son, who was a few years younger than me. ”

An Su heard a little about this, after the death of the first emperor, the queen mother was very resentful of Mrs. Qi, and blamed her heavily, and the rumors were extremely cruel. Later, he brought his son Liu Ruyi from the fief into the palace, and took the opportunity to give him poisonous wine. But this is just a rumor, and what the truth is, as an outsider, is unknown.

Although he knew something in his heart, An Su still shook his head: "The slave doesn't know. ”

Liu Ying seems to be very sad today, and it is rare to say a few words to An Su, thinking that as a high emperor, the pain in his heart is not something that ordinary people can understand, nor can he talk to others at any time. Xu Shi thought that An Su was just a palace maid, and she was in the palace of the Queen Mother, so she must be cautious in her words and deeds, and would not chew the root of her tongue more than what she heard, so she had the courage to say a few words to her to alleviate the difficulties in her heart.

"You are still young, and you are new to the palace, so it is normal not to know this." Liu Ying slowed down and said as she walked, "Mrs. Qi's son Ruyi played with me very well when he was a child, and he was often inseparable. Later, I was made the crown prince, Ruyi was named the king of Zhao, and Mrs. Qi seemed to want her father to change Ruyi to the crown prince, but of course the queen mother did not allow it, and the two struggled for many years. Later, somehow, Ruyi was sent to the fiefdom, and my position as the crown prince was retained. Later, the father died, and the queen mother put Mrs. Qi under house arrest and sent her to do some rough work, and Ruyi was also called back. I always felt restless in those days, worried that the queen mother would attack Ruyi, so I took him with me every day. It's a pity that I got up early and went out hunting without taking Ruyi, and when I came back, the queen mother had already given him poisoned wine. Not long after, Mrs. Qi was also brutally killed. ”

Liu Ying was a little choked up when she said this, and there were some tears in her eyes, such a thing that can make an emperor cry must be a pain that has haunted her heart for many years. But although An Su sympathized with the plight of Mrs. Qi's mother and son, and was helpless for the emperor's sadness, she had to grit her teeth and say something inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is just an ordinary palace maid, these words are said by the emperor to the slave maid, if it reaches the ears of the queen mother, the slave and maid will die and have no place to be buried."

Liu Ying looked at An Su with a pair of sad eyes: "I know." But when I remembered these things for a while, I spoke a few more words to you, and no one heard them again except you and me, and they did not reach the ears of the queen mother. ”

"Your Majesty, although there are inappropriateness in the Queen Mother doing these things, the root cause is for the sake of the Emperor." An Su thought for a while, and then said, "Since ancient times, there have been sacrifices in the struggle for power and profit, and those who win are in the world, and those who lose are naturally not guaranteed to lose their lives." Although this should not be said by slaves and maids, since the emperor looks down on slaves and maids, and talks about these things that should not be heard by slaves and maids, then the slaves and maids will also trespass. The Queen Mother is ruthless, but think about it, if you really let Mrs. Qi become the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Qi's son become the Son of Heaven, what will happen to the Queen Mother and you now? ”

After An Su finished speaking, he quickly knelt down: "It is already a capital crime for the slave and maid to say this, but seeing that the emperor and the queen mother are suffering in their hearts, the slave and maid really can't bear to say nothing." ”

"Get up!" Liu Yingxu helped An Su, "What you said is reasonable, and I understand it, but every time I think of Ruyi's last appearance, I can't stop being terrified." As soon as I saw my mother, this feeling became even stronger, and I really didn't want to face it. ”

"If the emperor is like this, it is better to go step by step, and if you can't meet the queen mother, it's good to send some things." An Su knocked on the side to remind Liu Ying.

"That's right, you often stay by your mother's side, do you know her preferences now?"

"The slave maid has only been in Changle Palace for less than a month, which is not very clear. But if it is the emperor's will, no matter what she sends, the queen mother will definitely be happy. ”

"I understand, you can go back, you don't have to send it anymore." Liu Ying and Zhang Yuanyuan followed the palace maids and eunuchs behind them all called to their sides, and An Su saluted, turned around and went back to Changle Palace.

The words that Fang Cai said to Liu Ying were really dangerous and dangerous, but An Su wanted to give it a go. She knew that Liu Ying was kind by nature and very tolerant of the palace people, even if she said something arrogant, she would definitely not be severely punished. Looking at the previous performance of the Queen Mother, it was obvious that she wanted to get close to the emperor, but she couldn't do anything. If he can help the Queen Mother in this matter, his life in Changle Palace may be much better in the future.

An Su was walking on the way back, and the Queen Mother in Changle Palace was thinking the same thing as her.

"Songhe, did you say that the mourning family did something too much to Qi Ji and King Zhao like that back then?" The Queen Mother's eyes looked into the distance through the window, but her eyes were a little confused, "They deserve to die, but they scared Ying'er of the mourning family, so that he was unwilling to be close to the mourning family from beginning to end." ”

"Queen Mother, the emperor is still young, and he doesn't understand the stakes in many things, as long as the Queen Mother mentions more, after a long time, the emperor will naturally figure it out." Songhe saw that the Queen Mother was worried, and he frowned.

"It's been all these years, and what should have been figured out has already been figured out. Ying'er has a benevolent temperament, and it was because of this that the emperor didn't like him, and the mourning family tried their best to keep his position as the crown prince and helped him ascend to the throne, but in the end it was like this. The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and shook her head.

"Queen Mother, take a sip of tea!" Songhe has followed the Queen Mother for many years, watching her go all the way, and deeply understands that it is not easy.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea: "Ying'er has also grown up, and she always wants to take the power back into her own hands over the years, the mourning family is not unwilling to let go, but this is related to the safety of the world, and it is not something that he can discuss with Liu Zhong's hairy boys." ”

"If the emperor can be in charge of the government, the queen mother will be able to enjoy a few years of happiness in peace."

"Yes! But Ying'er's temperament is too good, he wants to win power, and forcing the palace to mourn the family is the most direct plan, but Ying'er will never do such a rebellious thing. The Queen Mother's words clearly showed the meaning of hating iron and not steel.

"The Queen Mother, the emperor is also filial!" Songhe grew up watching Liu Ying grow up, so he inevitably had to say a few words for him.

"He is filial, but he was frightened by the mourning family's treatment of Qi Ji's mother and son. I'm afraid that in his heart, the mourning family is a wicked woman who mutilates children! The sadness on the Queen Mother's face was too obvious.

Songhe didn't want the Queen Mother to be in mourning all the time, so she changed the topic and said: "The Queen Mother knows the emperor's thoughts about Shangguan Ansu, why did she let her send the emperor out?" ”

"Ying'er suffered a cold face here in the mourning house, so she asked An Su to comfort and comfort him." The Queen Mother sighed, "Ying'er likes that she is on the rise, and with her to talk with her, her heart can be happier." ”

"The Queen Mother is thoughtful." Songhe replied, and saw An Su stepping into the temple door.

"The Queen Mother is extremely happy." An Su bowed, and the Queen Mother quickly wiped away all the sadness on her face.

"Let you go and send off the emperor, and come back so soon?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor thanked the Queen Mother for her hard work, and hurried back to pick up some gifts for the Queen Mother to send over, so he hurriedly sent the slaves and maids back." Ansu said bluntly.

"Hmph, you don't have to pick up some nice things to coax the mourners all the time, and make the mourners happy, you still have to do the work you should do." The Queen Mother is a clear-eyed person, and she can see An Su's thoughts at will. But An Su is not stupid, of course she knows that if a few good words can coax the Queen Mother to reduce her work, then there will be no one in the entire Changle Palace who needs to work. What An Su thought was still behind, but he didn't know if he could really listen to the words of the emperor just now.

"The Queen Mother misunderstood, the slave maid has nothing else to ask for, just tell the truth."

The Queen Mother may be tired, so she didn't say much to her, so she waved her hand and let her retreat.

But in just a few hours, the Queen Mother, who didn't take An Su's words to heart at all, was shocked by her ability. In the afternoon, the emperor's gifts were really sent to Changle Palace, and everything was carefully selected, and it was not a casual and perfunctory product at first glance.

Although the Queen Mother was silent on her face, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. Even if she is dissatisfied with the emperor's benevolence, the mother-son relationship is always what the queen mother cares about. She personally looked at the things sent by the emperor before letting people store them carefully.

"Look at the Queen Mother's expression, this is happy!" The Queen Mother was happy, and Songhe was also radiant.

"Yes! This is the first time Ying'er has sent something to Changle Palace. The Queen Mother smiled, "It's the mourning family who underestimated Shangguan Ansu." ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean is that the emperor sent something over because it has something to do with Shangguan Ansu?" Songhe was puzzled.

"The original intention of the mourning family was to let An Su go to talk to Ying'er, but I didn't expect her to guess what the mourning family was thinking. I don't know what she said to Ying'er, but she could ease his fear of the mourning family, and she also sent something. The Queen Mother was obviously very satisfied.

"From this point of view, the Queen Mother's decision to stay with Shangguan Ansu was the right choice."

"Yes, the mourning family will not be mistaken, this Shangguan Ansu is indeed a rare material to be made." The Queen Mother put the fine hemp paper sent by Liu Ying on the table.

"What does the Queen Mother mean, do you want to relax her polishing with rumors?"

"On the contrary, you give the mourning family a good toss and toss her, it is more difficult to endure when you are young, and the road ahead can be smooth." The Queen Mother looked into the distance and seemed to remember some of the past.
