Qi Yu posthumously crowned the old prince, and in accordance with the rules of the court, he crowned Lord Qin as the new prince. In addition, Qi Yu also rewarded Chu Xingchen, the favorite grandson of the former Duke of Guo, as the first xìng king of Han Zhaoguo.

However, unexpectedly, everyone was not surprised by Chu Xingchen's reward. After all, Lord Chu protected Qi Yu all the way to the throne, and this Chu Xingchen (xìng) (qíng) is perverse, and he only knows how to drink and have fun.

Even in the early dynasty of the second (rì) of the queen, Chu Xingchen stayed overnight in the largest green building in the capital, but the emperor favored (ài), and everyone couldn't comment on anything. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the division of power in the court, and this matter is gradually forgotten.

At this moment, Chu Xingchen took out a box from his sleeve and threw it over, "No, life-saving pills, you can bring the dead back to life." ”

Mama Zhang was worried, and even ignored the hint of the Queen Mother, and immediately fed the pills, afraid that she would not swallow well, and Mama Zhang immediately brought a glass of water.

On the other side of the hustle and bustle, there are people who are idle.

Chu Xingchen walked to Qi Yu's (shēn) and saluted, and then sat next to Qi Yu with Erlang's legs crossed, "I have to say, this prince's origin is really good, I just entered the palace, and no one dares to stop me." ”

He said and laughed, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him bowed their heads and said nothing.

Qi Yu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take two steps back, and then a large area was vacant around the two.

"How's that going?"

Chu Xingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't worry, after checking, a stick of incense is enough." ”

……

……

After leaving Yanxi Palace, Zhou Huan touched his forehead, which seemed to be swollen and painful to touch.

Today (rì) and the Empress Dowager tore their faces, but they were also helpless. Compared to the emperor doing something against the elders (qíng), she, the empress who has long been pushed to the forefront, seems to be more suitable.

Walking and walking, I somehow got to the direction of the Punishment Division.

"Queen Mother, this ......" The little eunuch guarding the door hesitated and didn't want Zhou Huan to enter, after all, after staying in the palace for a long time, the last thing he would do (qíng) was to offend others.

Zhou Huan instantly turned cold, "This palace is the queen, and she is in charge of this phoenix seal, so she doesn't even have the power to do this thing?" ”

In the end, it has been impregnated with high power for a long time, so as soon as Zhou Huan opened his mouth, he still made the little eunuch at the door stunned for a long time, "Niangniang forgives the sin, but the order of the Queen Mother, the servants dare not disobey it." ”

In the end, Zhou Huan still couldn't hold it.

Only then did she remember the words of the Empress Dowager when she was arguing, she said that during the years that the palace was in the palace, did you think they were all vegetarians?

At that time, Zhou Huan just smiled imperceptibly, but now it has some other meanings.

Just when there was a dispute here, another little eunuch came to guard the door, "Okay, okay, it's time to change shifts, why don't you leave?" ”

As they spoke, the men found that it was already dark and they couldn't see the way. The most irritating thing in the palace (qíng) is the vigil, so the Shen Penal Division is no exception, this new little eunuch (xìng) is soft and easy to bully, so the long night is naturally handed over to this half-old child.

Looking up at the still stalemate queen mother again, they thought that they still felt like they were running away, "Let's go." ”

Several people dispersed in a hurry, and only the little eunuch remained.

"The slave Chang'an asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." Suddenly, the little eunuch bowed to Zhou Huan, and then said respectfully: "Niangniang, the slave will show you the way, but there is only time for a cup of tea, please be considerate of the slave." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded, and then remembered, "Xiao Liuzi said that the new apprentice is you?" ”

Chang'an hurriedly got up from the ground, "The slave didn't dare, it was the sixth father-in-law who helped the slave because he saw that the slave was being bullied." ”

After that, Zhou Huan lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything again.

After all, the appearance of this prison in front of him did not look like a gentle place, and as soon as he stepped here, all Zhou Huan could feel was the humidity, (yīn) coldness, and the smell of rot in the air.

It didn't smell very good, and it probably smelled like a dead man.

If it weren't for Zhou Huan's exposure to a lot of similar things before, I'm afraid he would have vomited out nauseously at this moment. She looked sideways at the people in the cell here, most of them were pale, even with two points of coldness, and it seemed that they had completely lost confidence in life.

"Mother, it's in front." Chang'an bowed his head and stood respectfully in place.

is a sensible child, Zhou Huan nodded, and walked to the innermost step by step. Sure enough, in the dark and damp cell, there was a thin figure huddled on the ground, her shirt had been removed, and all that was left was her white undergarment.

Today, the shēn is dyed with bright blood.

"Mother, you're here." Lumei opened her eyes and saw Zhou Huan in front of her, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed, covered the scars on (shēn), and endured a little strong.

Zhou Huan looked at the green plum in front of him distressedly, "I'm sorry, the person they targeted was me." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Huan couldn't help but speak, "Lumei, don't worry, the emperor and I will definitely protect you." ”

"You know everything?" Lumei opened her mouth jerkily, with two points of cowardice in her tone.

She actually didn't think it was good to tell Zhou Huan these things and let her pity herself. On the contrary, what she hoped more was that Zhou Huan didn't know about these all along.

"A long time ago, the emperor told me about your existence, but I didn't know that person was you." Zhou Huan regretted it a little, otherwise maybe she wouldn't have let Lumei do such a dangerous thing for herself (qíng).

Although it is a bit selfish, Lumei is Qi Yu's only relative, and the only one who can be trusted, so she shouldn't let her get involved.

Lumei shook her head, "No, Niangniang, in fact, I have known Niangniang for a long time, I know that you are a good person, so I went to find the emperor." ”

Qi Yu gave Lumei everything, so she also wanted to do something to protect her imperial brother.

"Okay, don't worry, from now on, you are also my relative." Zhou Huan stretched out his hand and held Lumei's cold palm.

She hurriedly took out a few medicine bottles, then quickly opened them and sprinkled some powder on the obvious wound on the green plum (shēn).

"Niangniang, there is a (yīn) plan for this matter." While enduring the pain of taking the medicine, Lumei said to Zhou Huan.

"Every slave maid (rì) will pass by there to pick flowers for Niangniang, and when this (rì) passes, Concubine Qin Niangniang is enjoying flowers with Lu Guiren on the side, and the slave maid knows ......"

Because of the pain, Lumei paused and took a deep breath,

"Concubine Qin and Kunning Palace were in trouble, so the slave maid turned (shēn) and left there at that time, but suddenly she didn't know what was going on, and the slave and maid lost their minds and walked towards Concubine Qin."

Then, Lumei's memories seemed a little confused, but she still spoke firmly, "Niangniang, I regained my sanity at a critical time, so when Concubine Qin fell, the slave maid protected her." ”

"In other words, that moment is not enough for Qin Luoyu to lose his child." Zhou Huan spoke.

"Hmm."

Lumei barely got up from the ground, and then showed Zhou Huan the arm that was protecting Qin Luoyu at that time, where there were only a few red marks except for the bloody wound that had just been beaten.

If it was Lumei who protected Qin Luoyu, then Lumei's injuries were so light, so how could Qin Luoyu be?

Zhou Huan suddenly had another idea in his heart, maybe Qin Luoyu and the Empress Dowager really wanted to get rid of Lumei.

But at the critical time, Lumei regained her senses, so she didn't let them get their wish.

"That means that the child in Qin Luoyu's womb may ......"

Before Zhou Huan could finish speaking, Lumei said nervously, "Niangniang, it's really not me." ”

"When the emperor rescued the slave maid, he has been teaching the slave maid, so it's really not me."

"I know."

Zhou Huan held Lumei's hand steadily, comforted her for a long time, and gave her medicine before finally letting go of her heart and leaving.

Now, she has more important things to do (qíng), and Lumei can't be so wronged.

As a result, after she had just left Shen Xingsi, she unexpectedly met Meng Qi at the door.

Seeing Zhou Huan, Meng Qi hurriedly walked up to greet him, "Weichen meets the queen." ”

"Little junior brother, even you are so polite." Zhou Huan's eyes were filled with some obvious disappointment.

She pursed her lips and looked at Meng Qi in front of her, she hadn't seen Meng Qi for a long time, and Meng Qi seemed to be a little thinner, and the green shirt he was wearing was even more affixed.

The green shirt that was born before was always weird on his (shēn), but now it is nothing.

"Senior sister."

Zhou Huan didn't expect that Meng Qi would actually change his name.

Fortunately, he himself has not changed from beginning to end, and neither have the few people next to (shēn).

"Hmm." Zhou Huan's voice was filled with two points of joy, and then the two of them strolled away together.

Then, Zhou Huan's eyebrows seemed to have a faint sadness.

"Niangniang, the matter (qíng) has been clarified." Meng Qi saw that Zhou Huan's direction was Yanxi Palace, but he immediately stopped Zhou Huan.

"This matter (qíng), the emperor and Chu Xingchen, they will handle it."

Meng Qi spoke, although his voice was cold, but with two points of warmth, and then Zhou Huan felt that his Zhou (shēn) seemed to be two points warmer.

"I see." Zhou Huan nodded again, "Who is it?" ”

"According to the current evidence, what I have investigated is that there is a problem with the imperial doctor who took care of Concubine Qin today, and the person behind it is ......"

Meng Qi hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.

"It's not the Empress Dowager, it's not Concubine Qin." She seemed to have expected the answer for a long time, and even knew that this matter was already the best answer.

"The emperor is still dealing with it in Yanxi Palace." Meng Qi's voice was two points obscure, but he still couldn't help but tell Zhou Huan.
