That day, after leaving Huaqing Palace, Yan Qinghan went to the Star Gazing Pavilion alone and sat there for a long time. In the past, he was the only one here, and since Du Ruosheng came, there has been one more person here, but Du Ruosheng never knew that there was always someone who had silently watched her every move.

"I remember the first time I saw you here, you were looking at the bright moon in the sky, looking sad, but revealing strength, I didn't bother you, and left silently." Looking at the clear sky, Yan Qing's cold eyes flashed with a little starlight.

"At that time, it seemed to me that you were just a pawn arranged by the Queen Mother by my side, and I didn't want to get close to you, nor did I want you to notice anything, and until now, you still are. However, why did you choose to end it this way, I was going to let you go, why didn't you wait any longer, you have obviously held on for so long......" Yan Qinghan clenched his fists and choked.

"Why, my heart hurts so much, more painful than the moment I killed the child in your womb with my own hands, you come and tell me, why, why!" He could no longer suppress the pain in his heart and was hysterical.

Yan Qinghan knew that he needed an answer, a truth, so he got up, straightened his clothes, and walked away.

In front of Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother's personal palace maid Rong Wan just walked out of the palace and ran into Yan Qinghan, "The slave maid has seen the emperor, how did the emperor have time to see the mother today, the slave maid will go to tell you." With that, Rong Wan turned around and prepared to go back.

"No need, today I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother, let everyone go down, no one is allowed to step into Shoukang Palace half a step without my permission!" Yan Qing's cold voice was hoarse, Rong Wan didn't dare to say more, and slowly retreated with the others.

Stepping into the main hall, the Queen Mother Lu Lan was leaning on the couch chair, closing her eyes and recuperating.

"Why is my son free to come to my Shoukang Palace today? I remember that you hadn't come to see me in a long time, and why, wasn't your queen with you? ”

Hearing her mention Du Ruosheng, Yan Qinghan's heart tightened, and she said, "Queen Mother, haven't you gotten the news of the queen's death?" ”

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yan Qinghan with sharp eyes, and sneered: "That was her own choice, and she ended up like this, and she was also to blame!" ”

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Yan Qinghan secretly clenched his fists.

"Now, I don't want to hide anything from you," the Queen Mother paused, and continued, "In fact, before Du Ruosheng agreed to make peace, I sent someone to send her a secret letter, and I used the safety of her entire dynasty family to make her agree to the peace. ”

"How can the queen mother do this, the queen mother has always wanted to use me to control the court, it's not enough for you to harm me, why do you want to harm innocent people!" Yan Qinghan restrained the anger in his heart and asked.

"Innocent? He Dongchuan is attached to my Wan Dynasty, where is innocent. Since you ascended the throne, you have been trying your best to get rid of my control, do you think that this court power is also under your control? If you don't have me behind you, where would you be on this throne! Empress Dowager Lu said sarcastically.

"Why Ruosheng? Why go to all the trouble of finding a foreigner to help you? ”

"Our mother and son have been fighting for so long, and there are not many people left around me, so letting her and her relatives come here is just to arrange a person I can control more easily by your side, but I think highly of her, and in the end she is just an outcast, since she doesn't listen to me, it is already a gift to end up like this."

"But she thinks she'll be okay if she doesn't listen to me? It's really stupid, how can she understand that no one can get out of this troubled world of imperial power. In the end, it's not that you're completely injured and killed. The Queen Mother said lightly about her unbearable actions, and she didn't care about Yan Qinghan's feelings at this moment.

She looked at her son's remorseful and grief-stricken appearance, without a trace of emotion, and walked towards the inner hall with a cold snort.

Hearing these words, Yan Qinghan's heart throbbed violently again, he once said, "I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go", but now it seems how ridiculous it is, it turns out that Du Ruosheng was just a victim of the struggle between him and his mother from beginning to end, she not only hurt her, but also ruined her last expectations with her own hands.

Even if he wanted to make endless amends in his heart, it was all in vain at the moment, before leaving Shoukang Palace, Yan Qinghan gave an edict: "From today on, without my permission, the Empress Dowager Lu Lan is not allowed to take half a step out of Shoukang Palace, and the ministers of the court are not allowed to come to visit, and those who violate it will be decided." ”

When he passed by Huaqing Palace again, there was only a bleak scene left in his eyes, and the quiet and elegant figure in the past had also disappeared, as if he had never left.

When they returned to the Chongzheng Palace, Qi Guang and Tan'er were standing in the hall, and when they saw Yan Qing saluting, Qi Guang opened his mouth and replied: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to inform Dongchuan of the news of Niang Niang's death. ”

"Your Majesty, did you go to Shoukang Palace?" Tan'er saw that Yan Qinghan looked lonely and godless, and asked tentatively.

Yan Qinghan looked lonely and muttered, "Tan'er, if I had listened to you and believed her once, wouldn't she have done it?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is Niangniang's own choice, it has nothing to do with you, please also ask the emperor to mourn and take care of the dragon's body." Tan'er was a little stunned, and she couldn't say much, so she could only persuade her.

"Well, you all stand down, I want to be alone."

Out of the Chongzheng Palace, Tan'er sighed: "It seems that the emperor already knows the truth, but I didn't expect that the emperor of the Ninety-Five Emperor would also have regrets, I thought his heart was really as cold as a stone!" ”

"The deceased has passed away, even if there is more remorse, it is meaningless, we only obey and carry out the things that the emperor instructs, and don't say anything else, you always have so many words, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!" Qi Guang educated Tan'er with a serious face.

Tan'er glanced at Qi Guang and scolded: "Elm head, what do you know about this emotional matter!" Then, he quickened his pace, Qi Guang was full of doubts, and he quickly followed.
