After catching a glimpse of the woman's appearance, Xiaohuan pointed to the figure outside the courtyard gate with a frightened face and said: "Niangniang, that, that's the queen mother, she, she must have come to trouble you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As she spoke, she took Qingchuan's jade hand and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Qingchuan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Xiaohuan, why should we be afraid of her, I have no grievances with her, why does she want to trouble me." ”

"Niangniang, you don't know that since you entered the palace, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor favors you alone, and the queen mother is notoriously jealous, you are so favored by the emperor, you must have already aroused the jealousy of the queen, she must have taken advantage of the emperor's absence in the palace today, and specially came to find your fault."

"Let's go quickly, don't let her see it, if anything happens to you, the slave and maid can't afford it." Xiao Huan said anxiously with a sad face.

It's just that Qingchuan was unmoved, and looked intently at the richly dressed woman at the gate of the courtyard.

Feeling the gaze of others, the woman raised her head and saw the two Qingchuan standing on the edge of the pond.

As soon as she saw that innocent and pitiful pretty face, she suddenly had the urge to completely tear that innocent face apart.

When Xiao Yan was still the king of Nanchong, in order to plan the country of Dashu, the first thing he thought of was marriage.

So when he was named the king of Nanchong, he married the Jiang family, the first family in Nanchong at that time.

This Nanchong Jiang family, the ancestors are the descendants of Jiang Peng, the Marquis of Pingchuan, more than a hundred years ago, when Shu Pingzong died, in that battle for the throne, the crown prince supported by Jiang Peng was defeated by the second prince.

Therefore, after the second prince ascended the throne, Jiang Peng's official position was naturally degraded, and in the end, the Pingchuan Marquis, who couldn't stand this injustice, simply resigned and returned to his hometown Nanchong to do business.

After more than 100 years of operation, the Jiang family has gradually become a rare wealthy merchant family in Sichuan Province.

It was precisely with the financial support of the Jiang family over the years that Xiao Yan was able to win over batch after batch of Shu army generals, and finally had the ambition to dare to kill Xiao Che and usurp the throne strongly.

Empress Jiang glanced at the palace maid behind her, and the palace maid behind her understood and immediately stepped forward to entangle the guards at the door.

Taking advantage of the fact that the guards were entangled, she approached the courtyard as soon as she slipped through the smoke and walked straight towards Qingchuan.

"Queen Mother, you can't go in." One of the guards shouted.

The two guards are both internal strength warriors, and generally dozens of big men can't get close to them. But these palace maids under Empress Jiang are all internal martial artists.

Although the two of them are strong in martial arts, they are so powerful that they were entangled for a while and couldn't leave.

"Slave maid see queen mother." Seeing Empress Jiang coming, Xiaohuan hurriedly bent down and said, while speaking, he also gestured to Qingchuan beside him, but the latter turned a deaf ear to this, and the whole person looked at it in a daze.

"Well, flat! You're the woman Your Majesty has been favored lately, huh? Empress Jiang walked to the edge of the pond, looked at Qingchuan with apricot eyes, and smiled coldly, "It's really cute, no wonder Your Majesty always runs to you these days." But why don't you salute when you see this palace, don't you know the rules in this palace? ”

Qingchuan looked at the woman with a graceful and luxurious temperament in front of him with dry eyes, and did not speak.

"Yo! Why don't you speak, are you dumb? Empress Jiang chuckled.

Looking at the woman in front of her with eyes like water, but with a faint coldness, the anger in her heart was a little stronger.

"Dare to stare at this palace, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know the rules in this palace, don't think that Your Majesty spoils you, I won't dare to do anything to you."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Xiaohuan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "The queen mother is angry, my mother has been infected with the wind cold recently, and her body is a little uncomfortable, so she did not salute the mother, please forgive the mother." If you want to punish it, punish the slave and maid. ”

"Punishing you?" Empress Jiang took a step forward, her white palm held the little girl's lowered head, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more cold.

"Little girl, your mother has done something wrong, you have to be punished for her, you are not qualified enough, understand?"

She pushed away the little girl in front of her and came to Qingchuan's eyes, "I heard that your name is Qingchuan, right?" Today, this palace will let you know and know the rules in this palace. ”

Syllable!

I only heard a loud slap, and under Xiaohuan's panicked gaze, Empress Jiang's slender hand slammed into Qingchuan's right cheek.

This slap, she was ruthless enough, and she saw that Qingchuan's right face was already high and swollen, but she still stared at each other stubbornly, and there was no fear in her eyes at all.

"Still staring." Empress Jiang snorted, she tilted her head to look at the cold water in the pond in front of her, her apricot eyes rolled, and a vicious thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Hongxiu, come here."

"The slave is here!"

I saw a palace maid in her thirties walking over at the gate of the courtyard.

"This lady in front of you always stares at this palace, which makes this palace a little distracted, you drag her into the pond, let her wash her face, calm down, and let her understand the rules in this palace." Empress Jiang said coldly.

"No!"

Hongxiu, who was originally Empress Jiang's personal maid, is now in the Shang Palace, and can be said to be one of Empress Jiang's cronies, and what is even more rare is that she has internal strength cultivation, even among the internal strength warriors.

Such a person, if he wants to drag a powerless woman like Qingchuan into the water, it will naturally be easy, and he will not allow the other party to resist at all.

"Don't go into the water, if you want to go into the water, you can punish the slave and maid into the water, please don't let my mother go into the water, please." Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaohuan immediately knelt down and said anxiously.

"You little girl, you're quite loyal." Empress Jiang glanced at the girl kneeling under her, "But the palace said that if you want her to go into the water, you must let her go into the water." She pointed at Harukawa and said coldly.

"Do it."

Hongxiu nodded and walked towards Qingchuan step by step, the latter saw it, his face was indifferent, and he still did not show the slightest panic.

Just as Hongxiu was pulling Qingchuan and walking towards the pond, a heavy drink rang out at this time.

"Stop! I'll see who dares to touch her. ”

When everyone heard the voice, they saw that at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Yan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, glared angrily at the pond.

Xiao Yan strode to Qingchuan's side, and when she saw Qingchuan's high and swollen right cheek, she immediately frowned, and said sharply to Empress Jiang on the side: "Did you do this!" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines are doing this because ......"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear you explain, didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in? Who let you in. ”

Seeing Xiao Yan's angry appearance, she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is just curious, and wants to come over to see what the face of the woman who has been favored by the emperor for these days, but I didn't expect her sister to ......."

"That's enough, I don't want to hear your explanation." Xiao Yan shaved Queen Jiang fiercely, shook his big hand, and pushed Queen Jiang who was pulling the corner of his clothes away, the latter shook his body and was about to fall, but fortunately, Hongxiu on the side was quick and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Get out of here, get out of here before I get angry." Xiao Yan stared at her fiercely, with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.

She glanced at Xiao Yan with complicated eyes, tears were already slightly blooming in the corners of her eyes, and she said lamentingly: "The concubine retired first." ”

Saying that, she left the courtyard with a group of palace maids.

Is this still the Xiao Yan she once knew? Eight years, eight whole years, she was his wife for eight years, during which she knew that there was someone hidden in his heart, but she still ignored all of this generously.

She thought that time would slowly make him forget the person in his heart, but in the end, she still lost, and she lost completely.

After eight years of getting along with each other, this bland relationship between husband and wife is so fragile, for the sake of that woman, he pushed her away for the first time.

This kind of Xiao performance made her feel a chill to her bones.

On the way back to Fengyi Palace, Empress Jiang whispered in Hongxiu's ear: "Hongxiu, you go to Jiang's Mansion immediately now, inform your father and eldest brother to enter the palace quickly, and say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”

"No!"

Looking back at the direction of the Heart Cultivation Temple, the palms between her sleeves were clenched tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

…………

Xiao Yan gently cupped Qingchuan's face and said distressedly: "Does it still hurt?" ”

Qingchuan's face was indifferent, and he said without sadness or joy: "You don't have to worry about this, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, it's okay if it's so swollen, Qingchuan, how long do you have to be strong." Xiao Yan curled his lips and said sternly.

The woman in front of him, who was stubborn and silent and unwilling to open her heart to him, made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness. (To be continued.) )
