The night when the envoys of various countries were invited to the banquet in the palace, although it did not make Ye Qing and the current saint Zhao Duan completely go to the opposite side, but at least from that night, Ye Qing's status in the heart of the saint was already lower than Zhao Ruyu, Han Yanxuan and others, and it was already an indisputable fact.

But at this time, the queen actually invited Ye Qing to the Yujin Garden in the palace to discuss matters, could it be that there were any other secret agreements between Ye Qing and the saint?

When Shi Miyuan walked out of the Imperial City Division, this question was still echoing in his mind, and the bullet casing in his hand that had not yet had time to be put into his sleeve pocket was held in his hand and kept playing, and after a while, after looking back at the gate of the Imperial City Division, he turned around and got into the carriage and rushed to the mansion.

Zhu Ye'er Ye Qing is naturally no longer sparse, the matter between him and Li Fengniang, in addition to the two of them, belongs to Zhu Ye'er knows best, and Zhu Ye'er can win Li Fengniang's trust, and she is not worried about her scandal leaking, it is enough to see that Zhu Ye'er is in front of Li Fengniang, in addition to her loyalty to Li Fengniang, she must also have an extremely powerful way of doing things, which can make Li Fengniang feel at ease and boldly reuse her all the time, so that she will always follow her by her side.

is still a timid appearance, and his attitude is still the same as the crown princess Li Fengniang and the former palace maid, full of respect for Ye Qing.

When the three words of Yujin Yuan came out of Zhu Ye'er's mouth, Ye Qing only felt that his right eyelid jumped, as if something ominous and a bloody disaster was about to happen to him.

But even so, he still followed Zhu Ye'er into the carriage in the palace, and followed Zhu Ye'er to the palace alone.

The palace is still familiar, but because of the new owner, everything is so different and full of strangeness in Ye Qing's eyes.

Every familiar path is still the same as before, but the palace maids, eunuchs, etc., who come and go, as well as the atmosphere of the entire palace, always reveal a clear sense of distance compared to the past.

After walking on the Jinzhi Corridor, Zhu Ye'er basically stopped talking, and Ye Qing, who was following behind him, seemed to have no time to speak at this time, and kept looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar around him all the way.

He thought that after Li Fengniang became the queen of the Great Song Dynasty, the distance between him and Li Fengniang would become farther and farther away, and he also tried to imagine what he and Li Fengniang would look like when they met again after Li Fengniang became the queen of the Great Song Dynasty in the world.

But no matter what, what he imagined or guessed was very different from today's scene.

He thought that after Li Fengniang became the queen, when he met her for the first time, she would inevitably show off her luxurious honor guard as the queen of the Great Song Dynasty, but obviously, there were not many palace maids and eunuchs in the Yujin Garden, which has always been quiet and even a little remote, even the soldiers of the palace front division and the guard division who patrolled were very few.

"Chen Yeqing has seen the queen." Ye Qing stood outside the pavilion, looking at the pavilion built with the real mountain stone as the background.

The sound of gurgling water, flowing slowly from the middle of the mountain stones on the back of the pavilion, the small sound of flowing water makes the secluded Yujin Garden area, it seems extraordinarily quiet and elegant, but with the change of seasons, the graceful and gorgeous flowers and birds are a little less.

Just like the graceful and luxurious Li Fengniang at this moment, she is dressed in a bright yellow mother's palace dress in the world, which sets off Li Fengniang is glamorous, even if it is the charming style in the corners of her eyes, at this moment, because of her noble appearance, it is perfectly disguised, making what is presented to him Ye Qing at this moment is more like a machine that gains power, rather than a woman with gentleness and charm.

"Come in and talk." Li Fengniang's voice was a little fluctuating, and she looked at Ye Qing who was standing in the sun outside and said.

"Obey." Ye Qing lowered his head, looked at the bamboo leaves not far away, took two steps back, let go of the wooden steps that climbed the pavilion, and then walked over with a firm step.

"There are few palaces and pavilions in Yujin Garden, and the lush forests and mountain springs flow through, so the environment is extremely quiet and elegant, so it is also called Qingcheng. Over there....... Li Fengniang stretched out her hand and pointed to a place not far behind Ye Qing, and continued: "There are all kinds of rare and exotic beasts raised over there, including the white elephants that the envoys of Dali paid tribute to this time, etc., which can be described as varied. But these animals have a characteristic, that is, once they enter the royal garden, they all become extremely docile, and they have never heard of these animals hurting palace maids and eunuchs. ”

"Yes, the Queen's words are very true. If not, the Emperor Taishang would not have composed a poem here with the title of "You Yujin Garden to Give the Crown Prince and the Lower Officials", presumably the meaning of the Emperor Taishang back then, the same as the meaning of today's queen, is to warn the ministers and officials, and it should be important to the Great Song Dynasty. Ye Qing didn't sit down, not to mention Li Fengniang didn't give her a seat, so when Ye Qing walked into the pavilion, in addition to the gurgling sound of flowing water, Li Fengniang suddenly heard a relaxed silver bell laughter.

"Lord Ye looks extremely cautious today, such a look, it is completely like two people when I see this palace on weekdays, why, now I know that I am afraid of this palace?" Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing, who was standing solemnly with her hands down, and said with a smile becoming more and more happy.

"You are the queen of my mother of the Great Song Dynasty, Ye Qing is just a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what, you should respect the queen." Ye Qing said calmly.

"Really? Do you think so in your heart? The smile on Li Fengniang's face gradually disappeared, she slowly got up and walked to Ye Qing, looked at Ye Qing with her deep eyes slightly tilted her chin, slowly exhaled, leaned forward again, and when she saw that the whole person was about to stick to Ye Qing's arms, she stopped and said lightly: "Are those you just said true?" ”

The tempting smell of gouache on Li Fengniang's body came from the tip of her nose, and the temptation of being like an orchid, Ye Qing took two steps back slightly, but Li Fengniang immediately followed up with two steps: "What?" Now do you know that you are afraid of Hongu? Or is it ...... You, Ye Qing, have never forgotten the grievances between us? ”

"Now that you are the queen, I don't know ...... to recruit ministers." Ye Qing leaned back slightly, lest Li Fengniang fall into his arms with an unstable foothold.

"You must not have forgotten what happened on that day when Hongu got married, right? Or...... Every time you think about it, do you feel so proud in your heart? A woman who is going to marry the crown prince and is a saint today, and her body was actually seen by you first, are you very proud in your heart? Or...... Since then, you never thought that this palace would one day really sit on the throne of the queen? Li Fengniang's originally seductive red lips have become extraordinarily sharp at the moment, as aggressive as a sharp blade.

Ye Qing frowned slightly, and the depth in his eyes became more and more profound, and he took a step back again and said: "The minister knows that the queen has resentment in your heart, but the minister wants to say that the minister is by no means intentional, and it has always been the minister's wish to support the crown prince to succeed to the throne, but the minister's ...... Because of some other things, I couldn't do everything. ”

"Really? So what are you responsible for? Women are still in power, or are they afraid of their own lives, so they dare not support the crown prince? Li Fengniang's bright eyes also looked quite sharp, and the originally faint smile on the corner of her mouth also turned cold.

"The queen should know that it was Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan who took advantage of the minister's greeting to other envoys to put the ministers together, and kicked the ministers out of the game from supporting the prince, and by the time the ministers found out, it was already too late. What's more, even if the queen doesn't believe in the minister's heart to support the crown prince, then isn't the minister's previous support for the crown prince? Ye Qing retreated as he spoke, he had already stepped on the steps at this moment, if he retreated again, he would fall out of the corridor.

As if sensing that Ye Qing had no way to retreat, Li Fengniang stopped continuing to press Ye Qing, and said with a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "So since Lord Ye is so loyal, I don't know if you dare to accompany the palace to visit this Yujin Garden?" Or, to see how these exotic beasts treat their owners? ”

"Yujin Garden is already remote, if the minister is alone with the queen, ......." Ye Qing frowned and excused himself, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Li Fengniang.

"What, are you Ye Qing also afraid? Or is it that you Ye Qing have your own merits, and now you don't even care about the royal family? Or, do you think this palace will harm you? The willow eyebrows were upside down, and Li Fengniang, who had regained a trace of her former arrogant shadow, said coldly.

At this time, in the face of Li Fengniang's aggressive and aggressive momentum, Ye Qing didn't tolerate it as much as he did just now, staring at Li Fengniang's charming eyes with deep eyes as if he were probing, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "Queen, there is a sentence that I don't know if to say ......." ”

"Then don't talk about it." Li Fengniang said coldly.

"The minister just wants to tell the queen that if the queen is too revengeful, she will only cheapen others at that time." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang, thought for a while, and said, "Who are Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan, I don't think the minister needs to say more, right?" In order to avenge his wife, Zhao Ruyu did not hesitate to endure for many years, which eventually led to the death of King Xin. And Han Cheng and Han Yanxuan, father and son, are relatives of the emperor and the country, what is the relationship with the current empress dowager, presumably there is no need to say more, right? You don't think that they really help you with the saints, do you? ”

"But it's also ...... than you escaped." Li Fengniang said coldly.

"The minister never escaped, it was the two of them who conspired to kick me out of the situation of supporting the crown prince. But even so, the minister did not oppose the two of them in the Daqing Hall that night, because the minister knew that as long as the prince could succeed to the throne, it was more important than anything else, and as for whether the minister supported it or not, there was not much difference, and the minister thought that the queen and the saint would trust the minister as before. Ye Qing wanted to reach out and hold Li Fengniang, who was going to visit Yujin Garden, but Zhu Ye'er, who was not far away, happened to cast his eyes at him at this time, so Ye Qing had no choice but to follow Li Fengniang and walk along the hidden path to the dense forest in front of him.
