Mu Changhuan did not refuse, she handed the horn comb to Xiao He.

Xiao He took the comb, gathered Mu Changhuan's hair in the palm of his hand, and slowly helped her hair from the tips of her hair.

His movements were gentle, with a little cherishment, and Mu Changhuan closed his eyes.

After a long time, Xiao He stopped moving.

Mu Changhuan opened his eyes, looked back at him, and frowned when he saw his still dripping hair, "You don't wipe your hair?" ”

Xiao He shoved the horn comb back into her palm and smiled, "You help me?" ”

Mu Changhuan raised his chin, glanced at him, and nodded, "It's okay." ”

As she spoke, she stood up, pressed Xiao He in front of the makeup mirror, and took the cotton towel from the side to help him wipe his hair.

At this moment, under the candlelight, her movements were softer than ever.

Xiao He closed his eyes, and he was also more comfortable than he had ever been.

In this way, Mu Changhuan helped him dry his hair, and took the horn comb to help him go through it more than a hundred times.

At that time, the hair of the two was almost dry.

"Go to bed," Mu Changhuan was really tired, and after she put down the comb, she said to Xiao He.

Xiao He said "um", stood up, took her shoulder, and walked to the bed together.

had a good night's sleep, and the next day, when Mu Changhuan woke up, Xiao He was no longer around.

She touched the temperature around her and noticed that he had been gone for a long time.

And she didn't even feel the slightest.

Thinking of the dream she had last night, she frowned slightly, put on her clothes and went to the ground, and called outside, "Yun Mei." ”

Yun Mei heard the voice, and quickly entered from the outside, she walked quickly to Mu Changhuan's side, and said softly, "The girl is up?" The slave and maid will serve you to change your clothes. ”

Mu Changhuan said "um", and then said, "What about King Beijing, where did he go and when did he leave?" ”

Yun Mei didn't expect her master to ask about the whereabouts of King Beijing, she was stunned for a moment before she spoke, "Back to the girl, the prince left at the beginning of Yin, and it seems that something happened in the palace." ”

"Oh," Mu Changhuan replied, his tone unrecognizable.

Yun Mei secretly looked at her expression, waited cautiously, and did not say anything more.

After washing, breakfast outside was ready, and Mu Changhuan went to Dongnuan Pavilion to see Mu Er after breakfast.

Mu Er has been using the tonic prepared by Mu Changhuan for a while, his body is much better, and now he can see a little white and fat, he seems to be extremely close to Mu Changhuan, as soon as he hears her footsteps, he is happy when he smells her body.

Mu Changhuan took the child from Yun Niang's hand and checked it, obviously a little heavier.

A smile appeared on her face, and she looked down to whisper to him.

Mu'er grabbed her hand tightly, babbling with a smile on her face.

After playing with Mu Er for half an hour, the little guy was a little sleepy, Mu Changhuan put him to sleep and handed him over to Yun Niang.

Yun Niang hugged the child and retreated respectfully.

"Where's Han Yun's sideburns?" When leaving the Dongnuan Pavilion, Mu Changhuan asked Yun Mei as if he remembered something.

Yun Mei listened and hurriedly explained, "Miss Han has returned to Gongchuan, and she will go to get a few medical techniques left by Han Yixian, and she will come back in two or three days." ”

"Oh," knowing that the person was fine, Mu Changhuan didn't ask any more.

On the other side, the Imperial Palace, the Qianyuan Palace.

Xiao He, the queen, and the emperor are in a stalemate.

The emperor looked at Xiao He, who was protecting the queen behind him, and glared angrily, "You guys...... You still say that there is no selfish affection, that there is no selfish affection, why does he care so much about you? ”

The queen just wept silently, such a pillow person, she was so disappointed that she didn't want to say a word again.

"Shut up," Xiao He was hurt by the emperor's anger, he looked at the emperor with cold and disgust, and raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "If this king and the queen really have an affair, do you think this king will let her marry you?" ”

This attitude is ten out of ten contempt and impatience, "The reason why King Sakura entered the palace today is not to protect anyone, this king just doesn't want you to kill innocent people." ”

The more he spoke, the heavier he became, and the emperor's face turned blue and white for a while.

His heart twitched hard, and his heart suddenly brightened, he knew that what Xiao He said was the truth, if the queen was really his woman and the prince was really his heir, he would never give away his wife and children.

So...... Did he really misunderstand the queen?

Thinking like this, the emperor's heart was already very clear, but on the contrary, the vanity of the emperor's supreme made him unable to admit it.

He glanced at the queen coldly and said, "Even if the imperial uncle has nothing to do with the queen, the queen may not have you in her heart." ”

"Then he will leave," Xiao He directly gave the most decisive suggestion, he looked at the emperor for a moment, "If the crown prince is abolished again, what does the emperor think?" ”

has already said this, if the emperor doesn't want to admit his mistake, he can only accept it like this.

He raised his chin and looked at the queen, his eyes a little wandering, "What does the queen think?" ”

When the queen heard the emperor ask her, she finally raised her head and stopped sobbing, her eyes were red, she looked at the emperor for a moment, and said, "The concubine thinks that what the imperial uncle said is very true." ”

"You ......" The emperor was furious when he heard this, he thought that the queen would beg him, but he didn't expect her to be so happy.

"So be it!" In the end, he had to brush his sleeves and put down the cruel words.

The words fell, and after a while, he looked at Xiao He again, "This matter is over, if Uncle Huang has nothing to do, go back first, today's matter is that I can't help you, and I will definitely compensate you twice as much in the future." ”

Xiao He looked at the emperor, snorted coldly, turned around and left without looking back.

He didn't bother with the queen anymore.

The queen's gaze did not follow his figure.

Both of them know that there is really no love between men and women, and there is only a friendship between classmates when they were young.

The emperor watched Xiao He leave, and his tense expression finally relaxed.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the queen, coughed lightly, and said, "Queen, I know that you still have friendship with me, don't worry, as long as you know that you can change your mistakes, only I have me in my heart in the future, and I can still forgive you." ”

"No need," the queen listened to the emperor's sudden soft words, but there was no ripple in her heart, she raised her face, there were traces of being beaten by the emperor on her face, she looked at him with a dead heart, and said word by word, "Just come as you have just said, please let the emperor let the concubine and Bao'er leave the palace, and in the future, we will break off the righteousness, and it will have nothing to do with each other." ”

"Queen!" The emperor didn't expect the queen to be so ruthless, he changed his face, walked towards her slowly, stood still in front of her, looked at her earnestly and said, "Are you still blaming me for beating you?" ”

The queen glanced at the emperor coldly and was silent.

The emperor understood what she meant, a touch of regret and distress appeared on his face, looked at the slap marks on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just ...... It's just that I misunderstood that you had an affair with Uncle Huang, and I was too sad and impulsive, so you forgive me once, okay, I promise you that I will never do anything to you in the future, I will compensate you, I will hurt you, and I will be doubly good to you, you don't leave the palace, don't take Bao'er away, okay. ”

When the queen heard the emperor say this, she didn't feel very good in her heart, but she was cold in her heart, and she didn't say anything loose in the end, just looked at the emperor indifferently.

When the emperor saw her like this, he had to redouble his flattery, apologize, and promise.

But the queen seems to be iron-hearted, and she just doesn't let go.

In the end, the emperor was a little annoyed, he threw down his sleeves vigorously, glared at the queen and said, "I advise you to stop in moderation." ”

"......" The queen heard the emperor say this, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, "You still can't help it, can you?" ”

The queen's eyes are clear, as if they can see through everything.

For the first time, the emperor clearly realized his meanness and incompetence, he sneered, simply stopped pretending, and only looked at the queen fiercely, "Do you think that if you leave the queen, you can live a good life with Bao'er?" Don't daydream, even if I can let you go, but what about the concubine, for her own sake and for the second prince, do you think she will let your mother and son go? ”

The queen didn't expect this, and suddenly, her whole face changed.

The emperor's other words are nonsense, but this sentence has some truth.

Wei Guifei has long been at odds with her, and the second prince is also embarrassed by Bao'er everywhere, if she and Bao'er leave the palace, they will inevitably be constrained everywhere.

Thinking like this, her whole person's momentum paused.

Because she knew that Xiao He didn't have too much affection for her, he could save her life once or twice, but he would never take care of her for the rest of his life.

So, what she said just now is actually all nonsense? She can't leave the palace at all, she can't leave the emperor.

"It seems that the queen still understands," the expression of the emperor and the queen was in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of mockery, and he said slowly.

The queen's eyes on the emperor were paused for a long time, and she said, "Thank you for the emperor's mention, the concubines understand." ”

"It's good to understand," the emperor sneered, a flash of pride in his eyes. He thought in his heart, he couldn't do Xiao He, he admitted it, but the queen is a woman, and she is a woman with children, can't he still handle her?

"If there is nothing else, the concubine will retire first." After making a decision, the queen didn't want to stay in the Qianyuan Palace for a moment, and she offered to leave.

But the emperor was not ready to agree, he looked at her coldly, "Tonight, I want you to sleep." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the queen's whole person was like falling into an ice cave.

Her eyes widened and she looked at the emperor in disbelief.

Her heart is desperate and sad, why did it take so many years for her to see the true face of him, the person next to him, he has no bottom line at all! There is no basic criterion for being a human being.

"Let's go!" The emperor held the queen's hand and dragged her to the apse.

The empress did not leave the Qianyuan Hall until the morning of the second day.

But that's all for later, so let's not talk about it for now.

In the palace of King Beijing, as soon as Xiao He returned to the house, he went to find Mu Changhuan.

"Coming back?" Mu Changhuan put down the medical book in his hand and looked at him.

Xiao He walked towards her and sat down beside her.

"How's the Queen?" Mu Changhuan put down the medical book in his hand and asked.

Xiao He shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"You really went to find the queen," Mu Changhuan snorted coldly, looking like he had seen through him.

Xiao He, who was a little distracted, only to realize when she heard her say this, it turned out that she was really talking to her just now.

He couldn't help laughing, rubbed it in her heart, followed, and paused for a moment before explaining, "Last night, the emperor found out some old things from ten years ago, and he was sure that the prince was the child of this king, and sent someone to the East Palace to assassinate the prince......

"The prince was lucky and escaped, but a little eunuch died, and the queen saw that something was wrong, so she let people go out of the palace to find the king. She couldn't clarify this matter, and she hoped that Ben Wang could help her. ”

"And then?" Mu Changhuan became interested and asked softly.

Xiao He laughed and told the matter of the Qianyuan Hall in the morning.

After Mu Changhuan listened, he bowed his head and said, "The queen is a decisive character. ”

"It's a pity that it's useless," Xiao He shook his head in regret.

Mu Changhuan raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, prince?" ”

Xiao He turned his head sideways and forgot Mu Changhuan, thinking that she didn't understand these people's sophistication, and tried to explain to her, "Our emperor has always been an unscrupulous person, he only has two heirs now, the crown prince and the second prince, and the second prince is very mediocre, he only knows how to play all day long, do you think he will let the prince leave the palace with the queen?" ”

When Mu Changhuan heard him say this, he understood, "So, even if it is for the crown prince, he will keep the queen." However, with the queen's temperament, he will definitely not give in easily, and he will definitely break the queen's backbone at will, so that she can no longer resist. ”

Xiao He listened to her analysis and nodded slightly, "That's right." ”

Mu Changhuan pursed his eyebrows and sighed slightly, "In this world, it is too difficult for women, and even more difficult for women who are so strong. ”

Xiao He nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two looked at each other tacitly.

Sure enough, they waited until the next day, and did not wait for the news of the emperor's abolition.

The crown prince was lifted from the ground, and went to the Qianyuan Hall every day to listen to the emperor's teachings.

In the palace, the crown prince accompanied the emperor to finish his meal and left the Qianyuan Palace.

As usual, when he arrived at the intersection, he turned towards the queen's Fengluan Palace, but at this time, the eunuch beside him stopped him and asked, "Prince, where are you going?" ”

The prince looked as he should be, "Go see the queen mother!" ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said, "The queen has been sick these days and needs to be carefully raised, so the prince will wait for a while." ”

"The queen mother is sick?" The prince was stunned, his little brows furrowed, and he looked at the little eunuch suspiciously, "Why don't I know, where did you know?" If you know, why didn't you tell me earlier? ”

The little eunuch could say this, so he naturally had already thought of an excuse in his heart, and he hurriedly mentioned how he knew about this matter and how he didn't have time to say it.

After hearing this, the prince didn't say anything on his face, but his heart became even more suspicious.

He was originally an extremely smart person, and after secretly observing for a few days, he found that many of the palace people he was once familiar with in Yuqing Palace were gone, and they were replaced by some palace people who were born in the face.

Although those palace people still respect him, they always feel weird after getting along for a long time, as if everyone has a mask on their face.

And the queen's condition has not improved.

On this day, the crown prince finally couldn't help it, and in front of the emperor, he proposed that he wanted to visit the queen.

The emperor has been playing the image of a loving father these days, and naturally he will not refuse the prince's request, he raised his hand, patted his head lovingly, and said, "It just so happens that my father is fine today, and I just happened to accompany you to visit your mother." ”

"Well, thank you, Father." The prince thanked him steadily.

After the emperor changed his clothes, he took him and walked out together.

When they arrived at Fengluan Palace, the guards outside the palace gate naturally did not dare to stop the emperor.

The two entered the back bedroom together, and the prince saw the lonely queen sitting alone in front of the window at a glance.

"Queen Mother!" As soon as he was in a hurry, he ran towards the queen.

The queen has been in a very depressed mood recently, and when she suddenly heard the voice of the prince, she thought she was dreaming. But the next moment, the prince threw himself into her arms.

"Bao'er, is it really you?" Suddenly, surprise came to her face, she lowered her head, gently hugged his back, and asked.

When the prince heard the queen's inquiry, he remembered that he was already old, so he quickly withdrew from the queen's arms, stood up straight, and asked for peace in a dignified manner, "The son has seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is auspicious." ”

"Good boy, excuse me," said the queen softly, and was about to take the prince into her arms again.

But at this time, the emperor suddenly spoke, "How has the queen been in health these days?" ”

Hearing this voice that made her nightmares, the queen's body shrank obviously, her eyelashes fluttered, she raised her head to look at the emperor, paused for a moment, and then said, "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine's body is already much better." ”

"That's good." The emperor nodded slightly and glanced at her meaningfully.

The queen was stared at by his serpent-like gaze, and there was a slight contraction.

And the crown prince standing in front of her obviously felt it, and he looked at the queen with some concern, "Queen Mother, has the imperial doctor come to ask for peace today?" ”

When the queen heard her son's voice, the discomfort on her face suddenly faded, she smiled slightly, and said, "Not yet, the queen mother's body has improved a lot, and there is no need to ask the imperial doctor so frequently now." ”

"In this way," the prince agreed, and then asked, "since the queen mother's body is already well, will the retainer be able to come to see you every day from now on?" ”

"Nature...... No," the queen said to her lips, and suddenly turned a corner again, she pursed her lips and said to the prince, "Although the queen mother's body is much better, but it is not all good, you come to Fengluan Palace frequently, and the queen mother is afraid that she will be sick to you." It's better to wait until the queen mother is completely well. ”

"Oh," the prince agreed, his tone full of loss.

Although the queen felt sorry for her son, she couldn't say anything in front of the emperor, so she could only look at him greedily.

She knows that now that the emperor has a barrier with her, with him, even if Bao'er has her in her heart, the mother and son will be separated by a long, long distance in time and distance.

This man is such cold-blooded and knowledgeable.

"Bao'er, it's over," Sure enough, it didn't take long for the emperor to wave to Bao'er.

The crown prince held the queen's hand and hesitated for a moment before walking towards the emperor.
