He didn't speak, and neither did she. The two just looked at each other quietly.

He walked up to her, picked her up gently, and walked to the bed.

And she, obediently leaning on his arms, looked at him expectantly, his face was still cold and expressionless.

But tonight, his eyes are gentle and amiable. Not a little sharp and ferocious.

He gently laid her on the bed, stroking her hair and cheeks lightly.

Finally, her well-behaved aroused Dugu Yanxiang's disgust. Looking at her more closely, she was not half interested.

Dugu Yanxiang got up suddenly, and said coldly: "I told you, don't you think about it, don't you know?" Go back over there. ”

Concubine Rong was startled by this sudden coldness, and she quickly got up to look at the emperor who disliked her, and suddenly fell into endless sorrow and despair.

She suddenly smiled miserably, and she didn't know where she got the courage, and said to Dugu Yanxiang: "I know that the person in your heart is him, right?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dugu Yanxiang glared at her angrily.

I didn't expect the dignified Emperor Jiang to have a habit of breaking his sleeves. Hahaha. Concubine Rong hid her face and laughed.

"What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I killed you. Dugu Yanxiang was poked in the sore spot, and sparks were about to erupt in his eyes.

"Why, if I find out about such a big thing, I'm going to kill someone, isn't it?" Concubine Rong yelled as if she was crazy.

Dugu Yanxiang sneered: "Hmph, do you think you can threaten me like this?" Tell you, if you dare to say a word, I will punish your nine clans, so that you can't survive but die. ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, she really calmed down a lot, she didn't care about the nine clans, but she couldn't care about her mother and younger brother, in this world, they were the closest people to her.

Dugu Yanxiang saw that she was no longer speechless, so he said: "If you are well-behaved and obedient, you will still be my concubine Rong in front of future generations, but if you leak half a sentence about this, I will want you to look good." You can think clearly that you are just a woman, and you can't fight me. ”

Concubine Rong's whole body trembled when she heard this, and she was so frightened that she couldn't even hold a tear. Slowly got up, walked to the chaise longue, and lay on it all night shivering.

Although she can't fight Dugu Yanxiang, she can't get his heart. But she figured it out, he wouldn't let Shangguan Beitang go so easily. What you can't get, others can't think of.

So at the Lantern Festival dinner, she deliberately fell beside Shangguan Beitang, just to see how far Dugu Yanxiang could defend him. Do you dare to blatantly defend him in front of everyone.

But she never expected Dugu Yanxiang to really dare to do this, without taking into account the mood of the harem concubines at all. His maintenance is already too obvious, it is not a courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and His Majesty can cover up the past.

What Concubine Rong didn't know was that when he was checking Shangguan Beitang, another person was also checking the secrets of the Beixuan Palace.

The Queen Mother held her pet cat Songguo and sat on the rocking chair of Fushou Palace to enjoy the afternoon leisurely.

It was all black, only the eyes with a faint green light, it sometimes closed its eyes to recuperate, and sometimes raised its head to look around.

Not long after, I saw a finch fly by in front of the window, and it suddenly got up and jumped off the queen mother's lap, and jumped on the window frame with a scurry.

The Queen Mother still squinted her eyes and let it play.

At this time, Aunt Xu walked in, waved her hand and retreated from the maid next to her, closed the door and walked to the Queen Mother. whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear.

The Queen Mother's eyes opened suddenly, and the shock in her eyes could not be concealed, and she said, "Really? But it's real. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave maid sent the old man in the palace, Mama Zhang. Naturally, she came to report after reading carefully. Aunt Xu said respectfully.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and then said, "How did you find out?" ”

Aunt Xu said again: "That day, Mama Zhang bumped into Yuzhu washing the clothes of the King of Beixuan in the backyard, so she went up and asked: "Why is Miss Yuzhu washing herself, I will help you." ”

The jade bamboo replied with resignation: "Don't bother Mama, just these two pieces, they will be washed immediately." ”

Mama Zhang saw that the laundry water was a little dyed, and said casually: "Hey, how can this dress fade from the prince's clothes." ”

She originally asked casually, but Yuzhu was uncomfortable for a while, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "I went to do something for the prince two days ago, and I accidentally came to the monthly letter." ”

Later, the more Mama Zhang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, she bumped into King Beixuan when she went out in that dress early that morning, and said hello to her. ”

She felt that things were not so simple, so she went into the palace to report it. Aunt Xu said again.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, and continued to think for a while before she said: "No wonder the emperor cares so much about him, it seems that the identity of this Beixuan King is indeed doubtful." I didn't expect this Beixuan Royal Mansion to hide such a big secret. ”

What aroused her suspicion the most was that at the birthday banquet that day, Shangguan Beitang gave Xuerong Xianglu to herself. But the emperor knew that he was allergic to Xianglu, but he didn't stop it. Looking at the emperor's attitude towards Shangguan Beitang on weekdays, it is not difficult to guess that the emperor deliberately let himself check it out.

Aunt Xu looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Niangniang, do you want to invite Mama Liu into the palace."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Well, you can do it yourself." If Wang Beixuan asked, he said that the mourning family had a headache recently, and Mama Liu had a good kung fu for acupuncture, and the mourning family specially invited acupuncture. ”

Aunt Xu said, "Yes." "Slowly retreat.

The Queen Mother stayed alone in the room and thought about it, the secrets hidden by the Beixuan Palace may not be too big. As the king of a country, how can his identity be different. This matter must be investigated clearly and thoroughly.

In the evening, Mama Liu was invited into the palace, and she had not set foot in the palace for many years. She looked at everything around her, and it was still so luxurious and wonderful. It's still so cold and ruthless.

Under the leadership of Aunt Xu, she came all the way to Fushou Palace and met the Queen Mother, who was also half-white.

She knelt down on her knees and asked for an answer: "The slave maid visits the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"Mama Liu, hurry up!" The Queen Mother said and motioned for Aunt Xu to pick up her grandmother.

Then he said, "Give me a seat." ”

Mama Liu hurriedly thanked her and sat down.

The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "The mourning family and the grandmother haven't seen each other for many years!" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, more than ten years." Mama Liu said.

"yes, it's been more than ten years, and we're all old." The Queen Mother couldn't help but say with emotion.

Then there was silence, as if the air was also reminiscing about the rapid passage of time.

After a while, the Queen Mother said: "The mourning family remembers that when you were the eldest princess's maid, you also saved the lives of the mourning family and the emperor, if it weren't for you and the eldest princess, I'm afraid there would be no mourning family today." ”

The Queen Mother muttered about the past.

"It's been many years since the Queen Mother mentioned this." Mama Liu said. She knew in her heart that the Queen Mother said that these things were not just as simple as reminiscing.

"It's over, is it over? But the mourners often feel that those things are coming to mind as if they happened yesterday. ”

"Queen Mother, let the slave maid do acupuncture for you!" Mama Liu said cautiously. The old master is gone, and she is reluctant to mention the past.

However, the Queen Mother ignored her and continued: "Mama Liu, do you remember? In the fifteenth year of Rongzong, on the third day of the third month of March, I went to the imperial garden to fly a kite when I had nothing to do, and I didn't want to run into the first queen and Concubine Xiao and others, and she resented the emperor a few days ago because of drunkenness and stayed in my palace, so I was punished to go to the Buddhist hall to kneel and worship. ”

"At that time, I was just an unfavored concubine, where was the opponent of the queen of the middle palace and the favored concubine Xiao. I had to wait for the punishment and go to kneel outside the temple. The Queen Mother said and sighed again.

"I don't remember how long I knelt that day, but I remember that it was sunny at first, and then it rained heavily."

"I'm still kneeling there until the night, if you hadn't gone to the Buddhist hall to deliver Buddhist scriptures for the eldest princess and found me, I'm afraid my life would have been gone."

Mama Liu also fell into memories: I remember that the Queen Mother was not in good health in those days, and the eldest princess copied Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother every day. After copying that night, the eldest princess instructed: "Aunt Liu, accompany me to send these Buddhist scriptures to the Buddhist hall." ”

"It's raining too much outside the princess, so go slave and maid." Aunt Liu took the Buddhist scriptures and went to the Buddhist hall.

The rain that day was really heavy, Aunt Liu walked in the rain with an umbrella, and when she went to the Buddhist hall, she saw a person kneeling outside, and she didn't care too much, she just thought that the girl from the palace had done something wrong and was punished for kneeling.

After sending the Buddhist scriptures, he came out, but saw that the man was still kneeling, and then a person ran next to him and shouted: "Niangniang, how are you?" ”

In this deep palace, Aunt Liu originally didn't want to meddle in things.

But the man ran to Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu saw that this was not Aunt Xu in Concubine Yun's Palace?

When Aunt Xu saw her, she said, "Aunt Liu, what about the eldest princess, please beg the eldest princess to save my mother!" ”

Aunt Liu looked at it and asked, "Is it Concubine Yun who is kneeling there?" ”

"Yes, my mother was punished by the queen to kneel, such a heavy rain, if my mother kneels again, I'm afraid something will happen!" Aunt Xu said worriedly.

"Aunt Xu, don't worry, you can give this umbrella to Concubine Yun first, and I'll go to the eldest princess." After all, people have begged her, and she can't turn a blind eye anymore.

"Later, it was you who found the eldest princess and saved my life. The eldest princess took me to the Pixia Palace, and hired a doctor for me. The Queen Mother said, she looked out the window and fell into memories again.

"You, Concubine Yun, are you awake?" The eldest princess sat down in front of her bed and said.

Concubine Yun looked at everything in this Pixia Palace, and then looked at the eldest princess, and understood that her life was saved by the eldest princess, she said gratefully: "Thank you to the eldest princess for saving the concubine, the princess saved her life, and the concubine is unforgettable." ”

"What are you polite, the doctor said that you have a cold, you should pay more attention to maintenance, don't eat anything too cold, otherwise it will not be good for the child." At this time, the eldest princess was still an innocent girl, she got up and said cheerfully.

"Kid?" Concubine Yun was a little puzzled.

The eldest princess pointed to her belly.

Concubine Yun touched her belly in the direction she was pointing.
