Chapter 101: Harboring a Ghost (1)

The death of the Queen Mother immersed the entire palace in a sad atmosphere, but among the crying mothers and palace people, how many of them are sincere? The daily tears, the daily tea and dinner, and the daily emaciation are all made for the emperor to see, and even the emaciation of the queen's mother and the queen mother's niece Si Huanting is afraid that it is mixed with the elements of gain and loss.

The Si family is already in turmoil, although the queen mother's power has gradually declined in recent years, but her existence will still affect the emperor's decision to a certain extent, and now without the queen mother's control, the emperor's suppression of the Si family will surely become more and more serious. Si Wanting's life in the harem is not easy, although she is the master of the middle palace and is the queen, but without the emperor's favor, she is not even a paper tiger.

The two sisters of the Lu family are now in the limelight, especially the elder sister Lu Fanhua can be said to be the only one who has won the emperor's favor, Si Wanting initially thought that the emperor was to appease Lu Ting, so he treated the two sisters differently, after all, there is no truth in this deep palace, everything is just a play in front of people under the balance of interests. I think that when the emperor relied on the Si family, he also cared for Si Huanting, and the two of them can also be said to raise their eyebrows and respect each other. However, Lu's flowers are different, Si Wanting has seen the emperor's eyes looking at her, there is forbearance, restraint, and the funny thing is that it is clearly a manifestation of heart-warming emotion.

As the queen of Feng Xibai, the wife, Si Huanting married him when he was still a prince, and accompanied him through the days of unsuccessful success, in fact, Si Huanting did not think about what one person is above ten thousand people, once she just wanted to find a husband who loved her to live a dull life, she didn't want to be like her mother, married to the general, she didn't get all the love of her husband during her lifetime, and the only daughter after her death suffered from the ridicule and bullying of her father's women.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother, Si Huanting's aunt insisted on her marrying Feng Xibai, her life might be much happier than now, she got the most honorable status, but she couldn't get her husband's heart, she worked hard and paid, but Feng Xibai never really accepted her, this man and his father have used each other from the beginning, what if they are relatives? Family affection can be given up at any time in the face of rights. Si Wanting didn't understand these things before, but after so many years, if she still can't understand it, she will really live in vain.

The death of the Queen Mother made Si Huanting even feel a little relieved in her heart, there was no heir, it was the beginning of her and the Queen Mother's dislike, if it weren't for the low background of the second sister Si Huiran's mother, and the other sisters were not concubines, her position would have been replaced long ago. Now that the Queen Mother is gone, she can live a few days of comfort, she is not worried about the emperor, even if she uproots the big tree of the Si family in the future, in order to block the mouth of the people, even if she is the queen for the world to see, the emperor will not abolish her, he doesn't want a hundred years later, he will be infamous in the history books for being ungrateful, rabbits and dead dogs.

Si Wanting thought that she would live her life in such a cold and lonely manner under the false name of the queen, until this day, Si Huiran arrived.

"See the Queen."

"Get up, there are no outsiders here, so we sisters don't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"My sister doesn't have to see outside, just call me sister, you don't know how much I miss the days when my sisters are together in this palace."

"Yes, sister."

Si Huiran sat down under the arrangement of the palace people, and only then did she see clearly her sister, who she hadn't seen for many years, it seemed that the glory and wealth in this deep palace did not keep a woman away from old age and decay.

Si Wanting also looked at this sister carefully, and sure enough, she was even more sunk, if the emperor saw such a look... Suddenly realizing something, her face turned pale,

"Sister, my father brought me to Qingzhou this time for my marriage with the prince of King Yi, but the queen mother, my aunt and her old man...

Si Huiran couldn't help but burst into tears when she said this, but as soon as she said this, Si Huanting remembered that the emperor had pointed her out to the Fengchen bandits, but now that the Queen Mother is gone, will their father think about the old things again?

"I heard that Lin Siwan wants to keep filial piety for the Queen Mother, and her marriage with the prince will be postponed, what about you, sister?"

"As the daughter of the Si family, I should be filial piety to the Queen Mother and her old man."

"As it should be."

Si Wanting knew that her father brought Si Huiran into the palace at this time, just for the queen mother's business, but she still had a faint uneasiness in her heart.

"Before leaving, my father instructed me to come into the palace to see my sister more often in the future, and he also let my sister relax, everything is with him."

"I know that my father and the Si family will be my eternal dependence, but my body is not angry, and I can't give birth to a dragon heir so far, and my father blames me in his heart, right?"

Si Huiran looked at the sad Si Huanting, she suddenly felt that this queen mother was indeed a little pitiful, maybe it was a blessing that she couldn't marry Feng Xibai back then.

"Sister never thought about why?"

"What, why?"

Si Wanting just repeated these words, she didn't seem to understand what Si Huiran was referring to,

"My sister hasn't come out for so many years, so she must have used a lot of methods, right?"

"What the hell is my sister trying to say? My sister is not as clear as you, but between our sisters, you can say it directly. ”

Si Huiran meant something, and Si Huanting also muttered in her heart,

"Sister, why does you think the emperor wants to deal with the Si family?"

"The tree is a big wind, even if it is the queen mother's family, but the emperor's surname is wind after all."

Si Huiran raised her eyebrows and smiled, this daughter who was not enlightened by her father's mouth had grown a little in this deceitful palace for a few years.

"Yes, before ascending the throne, he needed the support of the Si family, but once he sat in that position, the overly powerful Si family became a thorn in his side, plus his father and the queen mother have really made it difficult for the emperor in recent years, and it is understandable that he wants to support the new family to balance the power of the Si family in the court."

"I also understand this, so the emperor snubbed me and isolated me, and I have nothing to say, who called me the Si family?"

"So my sister should understand in her heart that the emperor will not want an eldest son of the Si family's bloodline."

Si Huiran's categorical words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Si Huanting stand on the spot.

"What do you mean? I don't understand. ”

"Sister doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand?"

Si Wanting admittedly didn't think about this, she always thought that there was something wrong with her body, and the doctor also came to diagnose it, saying that her uterus was cold, the sunflower water cycle was inaccurate, and it was not easy to conceive.

"You mean the emperor himself...

"Yes, in fact, the problem is not my sister, but the emperor, he doesn't want his sister to give birth to his child, so every time he comes to your dormitory, he will drink medicine."

"I see, I'm so stupid, I should have thought of it...

Tears fell from Si Wanting's eyes, but there was a smile on her face, and the smile was so bitter that others couldn't bear to look at it.

"My sister is affectionate to the emperor, so I don't believe he will be so resolute, but a man who doesn't love you is ruthless to you or to himself."

Si Wanting was a little lost at this time, maybe this was something that should be obvious to outsiders, and she was the only one who was stupidly kept in the dark.

"How do you know these things?"

"What? At this time, my sister won't still suspect that I'm lying to you, right? ”

"I just ask how do you know?"

Seeing that Si Huanting was so persistent, Si Huiran had to smile helplessly,

"Do you know how many queen mother and father's eyeliner are around the emperor? Even if he is on guard, there will always be omissions, if you still don't believe it, I'll tell you one more thing, Lu Fanhua is pregnant. ”

"What?"

Si Wanting covered her stomach, and infinite hatred suddenly surged in her heart.
