Lingwu Palace, at night, the sky is full of frost. At this time, Emperor Li Heng had already gone to bed and rested, the huge palace was unusually quiet, and the patrol guards were also light-footed, with solemn faces, only a few copper kettles in the palace were still ticking slowly and persistently.

"Smack!" With a crisp and loud slap, Concubine Xi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, fell heavily to the ground, and a bright red five-finger palm print slowly appeared on her fair cheeks. In front of Concubine Xi, there was another woman in palace costumes, this woman was wearing a golden silk eight-treasure sky phoenix crown, a five-phoenix hairpin in Dongzhu, a colorful phoenix veil embroidered with gold thread, an apricot yellow shawl on her arm, and an emerald green palace silk hanging on her waist, her cheeks were slightly red, her charm was natural, but her demeanor was awe-inspiring, and the person who slapped Concubine Xi heavily was actually the queen's mother. I saw her flick her hand, take out the January silkworm gold silk, carefully wipe her fingers, a pair of Danfeng eyes revealed full of mockery, and all the palace maids behind her also covered their mouths lightly, laughing secretly.

"Concubine Xi, don't forget your background, even if Your Majesty favors you again, it can't change the fact that you are from the Yeting Palace, don't be too arrogant, don't think that the palace doesn't know, you hide from the palace, let Your Majesty let the King of Chu out, just to let him accumulate military merits, and in the future, he will be favored in front of His Majesty, hum, you can deceive Your Majesty with this little bit of caution, but you can't deceive the eyes of this palace"

Concubine Xi slowly got up from the ground and knelt in place, gently wiped away the traces of blood that seeped from the corners of her mouth, and saluted the person in front of her with a calm face.

"Returning to the queen's mother, the concubines have no such thoughts, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu is concerned about the war and takes the initiative to ask for help. The concubine never interfered in this matter. If the queen doesn't believe it, she can ask Her Majesty in person. ”

"Worried about the war? I think it's coveting the position of the prince, and after pickling sinners, I also want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? The queen's face froze, she naturally couldn't really ask Your Majesty about this, it was a big crime for the harem to discuss court affairs, how could she, as a queen, not know, she hated this concubine even more in her heart at the moment.

"Concubine Xi, don't think that the King of Chu will be safe and sound when he leaves this Lingwu Palace" The queen glared viciously at Concubine Xi, who was kneeling on the ground with a calm face.

"At this time, the Empress Dowager is not worried, and the concubines will worship and pray for His Royal Highness the King of Chu every day, and ask God to protect His Royal Highness's safety."

The queen's words were blocked one after another, but she was extremely angry in her heart at the moment, but after thinking about it, she had already slapped Concubine Xi with her identity, but Concubine Xi was the concubine next to His Majesty after all, if she was forcibly oppressed, she was afraid of trouble, so she immediately tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and leaned over to Concubine Xi in a playful tone.

"I heard that the war between the two capitals is very fierce, you say, in case that god takes a nap one day, and the king of Chu is scratched by one or two stray arrows, how can this be good, hehe"

Concubine Xi's face darkened, and she blinked her eyes slowly, but she still said in a calm tone, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has his own heavenly appearance, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune and return safely." ”

"Hehe, what a good auspicious person" The queen saw Concubine Xi's seemingly humble but lofty appearance, and her heart was even more angry, and then she threw the handkerchief in her hand to Concubine Xi's face, and sneered, "Then let's see."

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly broke into the palace and whispered a few words in the queen's ear, and in just a few moments, the queen's face changed several points one after another, and finally frowned,

"Concubine Xi, the King of Chu is back, this palace will let you two talk about it well, let's go!"

When Concubine Xi heard that it was the return of the King of Chu, Gujing Wubo's mood suddenly rippled, and her face that had not disappeared with palm prints actually showed a faint joy and expectation, and then she leaned down and fell to the ground.

"The concubine sends the queen mother."

The queen and her entourage came out of the inner hall, but they happened to meet Li Jiao, the king of Chu, who was wearing a golden armor. Li Jiao, who was originally happy, saw the queen coming out of his mother's bedroom, but his pace was stagnant, and he chuckled in his heart, but he smiled even more on his face, and bowed to the queen.

"Li Jiao, see the queen's mother! The Queen Mother, this is..."

"It turned out that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has returned, and the palace is here to inspect the palaces to see if the people in the palace are slacking off, and they have just come out of Concubine Xi's sister" The queen was surprised when she saw Li Jiao smiling, but she didn't show it, but still had her eyes full of power and replied slowly.

"The queen mother worked tirelessly all night to come to see her mother, Li Jiao was really moved in her heart!" Li Jiao was figuring out the queen's intentions in his heart, and when he saw her say this, he took advantage of the situation, showing the meaning of gratitude on his face, and bowed more humbly.

"It is the responsibility of the palace to supervise the harem, Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, please go in quickly, Sister Xi misses Her Highness very much."

"Li Jiaogong sends the queen mother!" Li Jiao bowed for a long time, and saw the queen and her party gradually moving away, until they disappeared into the palace, then they slowly got up, staring at the direction where the queen disappeared with a gloomy face.

"Mother!" Li Jiao walked into the hall in a hurry, and saw that Concubine Xi was in the hall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Xi's hands, and asked this and that with a concerned face.

"It's His Highness who has returned, why don't you take off your armor for Your Highness! These palace daughters really have no eyesight. Concubine Xi was overjoyed when she saw Li Jiao returning, but she was talking about him left and right, but after all, Li Jiao saw the marks on her cheeks.

"Good she, Zhang Liangdi! The father has obviously forbidden anyone to mention the life experience of the mother, and she Zhang Liangdi dares to use this matter to bully the mother! After learning about the cause and effect, Li Jiao's face was abnormal, his eyes burst out with a cold light, and with a bang, he actually pinched the porcelain bowl in his hand into powder, and blood dripped to the ground. Concubine Xi's face ached.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be angry, the mother's life experience is really unbearable, and it has also affected Your Highness, but the time has not yet come, Your Highness and I should bear the burden of humiliation, in other words, isn't Your Highness commanding the war to recover the two capitals, why do you have time to come back?"

Li Jiao's face changed several times, and he hated Zhang Liangdi in his heart at the moment, but after listening to what Concubine Xi said, he sighed, and then his face turned grim, and he glanced at Concubine Xi.

"You guys go down," Concubine Xi understood, and then drank back from the surrounding palace people.

Li Jiao frowned, and said slowly: "The front line has Guo Ziyi and Yan Feng here, and Erchen can be worry-free, but right now, Erchen has found some clues related to what Erchen did, so he hurried back to investigate the matter." ”

"Oh? But what is the so-called thing? If there is anything that the mother can help, just ask. ”

"No, it's just a trivial matter, and the son can handle it himself."

"Well, Your Highness must pay attention to your body at all times, and don't risk yourself because of what you do. After all, I am such a son of His Highness. Concubine Xi said, but her hand gently caressed Li Li's cheek, and her eyes slowly became hazy and moist.

"Mother concubine, rest assured, Erchen is now with an army of more than 100,000 troops, and there is the emperor's order, if nothing else, the position of the prince must be mine, just Zhang Liangdi and Li Fuguo, Erchen is not in his eyes! Queen Mother, now in the Lingwu Palace, are there other forces that can threaten the sons? ”
