After An Su obediently drank a whole bowl of porridge, he took Chu Ruo to the Jiaofang Palace. Last night, the queen had a son, and there was also a jubilant scene in the Jiaofang Palace, the emperor and the queen mother gave a lot of things, as well as the gifts sent by the concubines and concubines of the palace, almost filling the entire courtyard.

Stepping into the gate of the Jiaofang Palace, An Su didn't like this atmosphere very much, originally such a joy should belong to Xu Meiren and Huanning Palace. An Su stood at the door of the Jiaofang Hall and was stunned for a moment, just in time to see Lixin come out.

"Miss Shangguan?" Thinking that they had already heard about the tragic incident in Huanning Hall last night, they mistakenly thought that everyone had died inside, and they were very surprised when they saw An Su.

"The slave maid is here to say hello to the queen, please let me know." There was no trace of waves in An Su's voice, as if she came to visit the queen with Xu Meiren on weekdays.

But Lixin seemed to see that something was wrong, and looked An Su and Chu Ruo up and down several times, although she finally turned around and went back to report to the queen, but her eyes showed great distrust.

An Su waited at the door, seeing the joy on the faces of the people who came and went to the palace, and the sourness in his heart surged up again and again. The former Huanning Palace was also like this, after everyone learned that Xu Meiren was pregnant, everyone was looking forward to a little prince or princess landing soon, but now it has become a bubble, and even the Huanning Palace no longer exists.

"Miss Shangguan go in, the queen is waiting for you inside." Rixin was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, not knowing what to do outside.

"Thank you." An Su didn't pay much attention to her, and pulled Chu Ruo and walked in.

In fact, the queen is no different from before, and the smell of blood in the dormitory is not as bloody as the woman who has just given birth, and her spirit is not bad. Of course, all this is expected, after all, it is a fake pregnancy, just make a show, with the character of the queen, it must not last long.

"The slave and maid see the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is happy." After An Su and Chu Ruo saluted, the queen raised her head lazily.

It was probably the Queen Mother's order that she could only stay in the dormitory to rest these days, even if she looked in good spirits, her face was full of dissatisfaction. The little prince was not in the dormitory, but was probably carried down by the nurses. After all, this is not the queen's child, even if it is hung in her name, there is no half of affection.

"Ansu, I heard that Huanning Hall was set on fire by Xu Meiren last night, and all the palace people were burned to death, are you okay?" The queen was very direct.

"The slave is still fine, but the queen really thinks that this fire will be set by Xu Ji Niangniang?" An Su thought that he should have been buried in the fire last night, but he survived this catastrophe by mistake, and now he has put life and death out of the way, and he understands it very well when he speaks.

"Of course not, but what does it matter if it's not? And then say yes, that's natural. The queen also sighed helplessly, "For example, the queen mother said that the little prince was born in this palace, then it is naturally born in this palace." ”

An Su didn't expect the queen to say this so easily, but since she had already said it, she didn't need to bend around it anymore.

"So the Queen Mother snatched the little prince from Xu Ji Niangniang, and pretended that the eldest son was handed over to the queen mother to be raised by you?"

"Yes, this palace knows that you are smart, and you can know it with a guess." The queen leaned back in her chair, and her whole body looked very tired, and she didn't have the same spirit as she had just now. Thinking about that radiant look, it's just pretending to be shown to others.

"In this way, did Niangniang know that the Queen Mother would attack Her Royal Highness Huanning?" An Su always felt that the queen's heart was kind, and if she had known earlier that Huanning Hall would suffer such a catastrophe, she should not be so indifferent.

Sure enough, the queen shook her head: "The queen mother just pretended to be pregnant according to the queen mother's intentions, and she also knew that the queen mother would bring the child over to the palace to raise on the day Xu Meiren gave birth, and called it the eldest son born in the palace." As for Xu Meiren's side, it is estimated that she is claiming that she has given birth to a stillborn child. The palace didn't know that the queen mother's methods were so vicious. ”

"The queen mother only knows one thing, but she doesn't know the other, those palace people were not burned to death." An Su suddenly wanted to inform the queen of the tragic situation of Huanning Palace, so that she could know under what circumstances the child was brought here, "The slave maid returned to the palace yesterday and happened to see a group of black-clothed people, who were holding the token of Changle Palace in their hands, and killed people when they saw them in Huanning Palace, until there was no longer a living person in Huanning Palace. And the midwife, who had been arranged by the Queen Mother in advance, came to the Jiaofang Hall with the little prince in her arms. At that time, the queen began to beat gongs and drums in your Jiaofang hall to welcome the arrival of this little life. ”

The queen really didn't know about this, she only knew that the fire must have been sent by the queen mother, but she didn't know any details. Now listening to Ansu's words, his eyes widened unconsciously, and tears were rolling in his eyes. She has a personal experience of this, in the past, she and her mother, under the strong drive of Princess Lu Yuan, also experienced such a catastrophe.

"So, so Xu Meiren is also ...... And not burned to death? The queen asked with a shudder.

An Su shook his head neatly: "Of course not, when the slave maid entered the dormitory, Xu Ji Niangniang had already been killed, and the fire had not yet burned at that time." ”

"The Queen Mother can do this?" The queen couldn't help but cover her face, she had also been suppressed in the palace for a long time, and at this time she was on the verge of collapse.

"The Queen?" An Su felt that the queen's mood was a little wrong, so she took a step forward. Unexpectedly, the queen immediately raised her head, but her face was already full of tears.

"I don't want to be this queen at all." The queen's voice whimpered, "I have no choice but to be sent to the palace, because as long as I follow the queen mother's wishes, I can live in the world." But the Queen Mother kept forcing me, and I really couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't want to hurt them at all, and I didn't want to wake up in the middle of the night and think of the Queen Mother's hideous face. ”

An Su didn't know what to say, she had always known that it was not easy for everyone in this palace, Xu Meiren was like this, the queen was like this, and the queen mother who was probably regarded as a demon by them was the same.

"Queen Mother, can you let the slave maid see the little prince?" An Su waited for a long time until the queen's mood stabilized again before she said this.

"Someone, ask the nurse to bring the little prince over." The queen wiped away her tears and turned back into the lazy and reckless queen, as if the scene just now had never appeared.

After a while, the outside door opened, and the nurse carried the little prince in, and from a distance it looked like a small lump in her arms. He was sleeping sweetly, and the nurse didn't wake him up all the way. This little doll doesn't know what happened to her mother, but it's okay, if no one tells him, he can grow up happily in the future.

"Chu Ruo, take a look!" An Su pulled Chu Ruo and walked over, she actually knew that this child was born to Xu Meiren, but after all, she didn't have the courage to go up and see it herself, and she always felt that when she saw this child, she would think of Xu Meiren and everyone in Huanning Palace.

"Sister Shangguan, this is indeed the child I saw being taken out of Xu Ji Niangniang's side by the midwife." Chu Ruo whispered.

An Su glanced at the child deeply, then raised his head and said to the queen: "Queen mother, the slave has something to say." ”

The queen knew it in her heart, and asked the nurse to let the child go down, leaving only the three of them in the palace. An Sucai opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, this child has a hard life, and he will be born without a mother. But since the Queen Mother intended to raise him as the eldest son by Niangniang's side, the slave begged Niangniang to treat him well. ”

"This palace should be like this, and I also hope that Xu Meiren can rest in peace." The queen was originally a little repulsed by this child, but when she heard the news of Xu Mei's death, the memories of her mother in her heart suddenly came flooding up. At that time, she made up her mind to make the child live better, at least under the same circumstances.

"Then the slave is here, thank the queen mother." An Su's eyes had a sense of resoluteness, which made the queen feel a little uneasy.

"Ansu, are you going to Changle Palace next?" She couldn't help but ask.

An Su neither affirmed nor denied it, but just saluted the queen in a proper manner: "The slave and maid retire." ”

The queen sat on the main seat, quietly looking at the back of An Su walking out, she suddenly felt a little envious, even if she was just a palace maid, the tenacity revealed in her body was something that even she, the queen, could not achieve.

An Su and Chu Ruo walked side by side on the palace road, An Su's footsteps were fast and slow, and Chu Ruo followed her silently until she suddenly stopped.

"Chu Ruo, you go back to the Changting Hall first!"

"Why?" Chu Ruo's arrangement for An Su has always been to say and do something, but this time I felt from the bottom of my heart that I couldn't let her go to Changle Palace alone.

"You go back first, I'll come when I go, and I'll be back soon." An Su said very calmly, but Chu Ruo always felt that this sentence gave people an unreal feeling, like the moon reflected in the water, and he could see it clearly, but when he reached out to grab it, he couldn't catch it.

"No, I'll go with you."

"Chu Ruo, obedient." Ansu shook her hand.

But Chu Ruo still shook his head: "No, I must go with you." ”

"I'll let you go back to the Changting Hall now!" Ansu had never spoken loudly to her, but now she almost yelled.

Chu Ruo was startled, but she grabbed An Su's hand but didn't let go, she didn't speak, just shook her head vigorously. She didn't know what An Su was going to Changle Palace for, but she always felt that she couldn't get out safely this time.

"Okay, you can come with me, but you can only wait at the door, and you can't break in no matter what happens. Got it? Ansu sighed, and finally compromised.

"Okay, I'll just wait at the door." Chu Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still up and down, which made people feel sullen and breathless.
