As the Queen Mother's cold words fell, the temperature of the entire palace dropped a few points, and the Queen Mother's sharp and coercive gaze fell on Yun Xiangrong's body, as if she wanted to see her whole person through. Purple Pavilion ziyouge

"Sister" The Seventh Prince was anxious and called out in a low voice.

He asked his sister to come to see the imperial grandmother to pull her backer, but he didn't want his sister to be hated by the imperial grandmother and want her to have an accident!

"Xiao Qi, you step aside." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her eyes fell on Yun Xiangrong, and she said with a cold chill: "Raise your head and make Fang Cai's words clear." ”

Yun Xiangrong looked up at the Queen Mother, her expression was calm, her eyes were waveless, and she said in a low voice: "The courtiers don't dare to say it, but they are afraid that the Queen Mother will blame" Yun Xiangrong twisted his eyebrows slightly, paused, and hesitated, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to forgive the courtiers for their innocence, so the courtiers dare to say it." ”

"You say, this palace forgives you not guilty." The Queen Mother said lightly.

Yun Xiangrong said in a low voice: "The courtier's wife found an unsigned letter in her husband's study one day, and looked at it casually, only to find that it said that the words "You can get the holy family if you fall into the water in the Seven Halls of the Lake, the courtier's wife didn't care, thinking it was a malicious joke." Later, he met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince in the woods. It's a lot of love. His Royal Highness the Seventh is so cute, after the courtiers knew his identity, they suddenly remembered the line on the letter that day, and they couldn't help but be frightened, but they didn't dare to say anything to outsiders, and they wanted to tell the Seventh Palace, and they were afraid that I would think too much about it. Later, I saw that the Seventh Hall was about to fall into the water, so I threw myself out without thinking about anything! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes suddenly became extremely proficient, and her gaze staring at Yun Xiangrong was full of coercion, as if she wanted to see whether what she said was true or false.

Yun Xiangrong looked at it with clear eyes, looking at the Queen Mother's gaze without the slightest falsehood, and her face was calm, not like a fake.

The Seven Princes on the side were stunned, he didn't expect someone to beat him like this, fortunately, his sister was there, otherwise

Compared with the Queen Mother, he didn't have to think about it, and directly believed Yun Xiangrong's words.

After a long time, the Queen Mother slowly spoke: "Is there a third person who knows about this matter?" ”

Yun Xiangrong said: "No." What a big deal it is to murder and calculate the emperor's heir, the courtiers dare not say anything, if it were not for the queen mother's questioning, the courtiers would not have said it. Because the courtiers knew that their husbands were loyal to the king, they expected that he would never do such a thing, but if they didn't say that they were bullying the king, the courtiers didn't want to cause trouble for their husbands. ”

She said it directly, without any hint of concealment.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes flashed with a little appreciation.

Able to deal with the pressure of her deliberate embarrassment, this woman is also a courageous person.

"Very well done, this matter will end here, and you must not mention half a word to others in the future." The Queen Mother said again.

"The courtiers understand." Yun Xiangrong said respectfully.

"Give a seat." The Queen Mother motioned for her to get up, and Yun Xiangrong thanked her, got up and returned to her position and sat down.

Then the Queen Mother and Yun Xiangrong chatted about some family matters, although it was some trivial matters, but the Queen Mother found that this woman was generous and natural, with an extraordinary bearing, and she was also very insightful about things, unlike those concubines in the palace, in addition to flattery, it was intrigue and upset, and she was upset to look at it.

The Queen Mother was satisfied, but her face was silent.

It's the Seventh Prince, who peeks at the Queen Mother's face from time to time, and sees that she hasn't changed much, and his heart is beating, could it be that the emperor's grandmother doesn't like her sister? But my sister is obviously so good

The Seventh Prince held his cheeks, a little entangled.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he found an opportunity to interject: "The Four Emperor Brothers have saved so many people in this epidemic, and Fang Zi is still given by his sister." My sister is amazing. ”

A look of adoration.

The Queen Mother was taken aback when she heard this, her face showed a look of emotion, and she looked at Yun Xiangrong's eyes changing slightly: "What Xiao Qi said is true?" ”

"It's not my work, Fang Zi belongs to Dr. Sun, it's just that he doesn't like to deal with people, I'm just handing it over to His Royal Highness the King on his behalf. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't care about their own safety and brought the imperial doctors and soldiers to relieve the disaster, the epidemic would not have been eliminated so quickly. Yun Xiangrong shook his head, not taking credit.

When the queen mother heard this, she was more satisfied, with good character and good bearing, meritorious but not proud of her merits, and great kindness.

While the hall was talking, the chamberlain hurriedly came in, "Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the King and the Prince of Zhennan are asking to see him outside the palace!" ”

"Let them in." The Queen Mother commanded.

When the chamberlain went out, he saw Wang Liwang and Huo Chen walking in from outside the palace one after the other.

His Royal Highness is still wearing a dazzling crimson robe, and his face is bright and open.

Huo Chen was dressed in a dark color dress, with an indifferent face and a calm posture.

"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother."

"The minister has seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Jin'an."

Both saluted at the same time.

"No courtesy. Come, give a seat. The Queen Mother showed a little smile on her face, obviously liking these two juniors very much.

"I just talked about the two of you, and here you are." The two took their seats, the Queen Mother said.

"Oh? I don't know what the imperial grandmother said about us, but don't say bad things, bad words and grandchildren don't listen. When the king heard this, he immediately smiled, and his words were close.

"As long as you slip your head, when will you be as steady as Chen'er and you won't be looked down upon by your father." The Queen Mother sighed.

"The Queen Mother has won the award." Huo Chen responded without hesitation, and the king on the side suddenly had an aggrieved expression.

Yun Xiangrong can see that the Queen Mother is very direct to the people she likes, and similarly, she also likes people directly, but Huo Chen's behavior is not a little narcissistic

As if sensing her gaze, Huo Chen's gaze looked towards this side lightly.

Yun Xiangrong's heart jumped, as if he was fine, and slowly moved away.

It's just that the voyeur made the main owner find out, but the roots of his ears couldn't help but redden.

When Huo Chen saw it, a smile filled his eyes.

His Royal Highness the King chatted with the Queen Mother for a few words, and said: "The prescription for this epidemic was given by Mrs. Zhou, and the emperor said that he wanted to meet her, and we heard that she was here with you, so we looked for her." ”

"I just heard Xiao Qi say this. I think Rong'er is a good child, I like to listen to her, much better than facing those hypocritical concubines in the palace. The Queen Mother said, and said to the grandmother beside her: "Go and get my waist card." ”

When the Seventh Prince on the side heard this, his face looked a little excited and excited.

"Rong'er, come on." The Queen Mother beckoned to Yun Xiangrong.

Yun Xiangrong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

The Queen Mother pulled Yun Xiangrong, put the waist card in her hand, and said: "You put away this waist card, if you are free in the future, you will enter the palace to talk to my old woman, people are old, and it is not easy to find someone to talk to." ”

Everyone was shocked that the Queen Mother actually rewarded Yun Xiangrong's waist card, which was a great honor.

Yun Xiangrong knew that this was the Queen Mother's excuse. She is the queen mother, who she wants to talk to, she can't talk to anyone, and she is just giving her this waist card when she is in trouble. You can come to the palace and ask for it.

Yun Xiangrong understood in his heart that this waist card was just passing through the eyes of others, and it was of little practical use, but he made a flattered look on his face, "Thank you for the reward." ”

"Hey, get up, don't kneel." The Queen Mother said.

Yun Xiangrong got up.

The Queen Mother said to the king: "Yan'er, come here, grandmother has something to ask you." ”

Seeing this, Huo Chen got up with interest and said, "Queen Mother, the minister will take Mrs. Zhou to Zhan Hua Hall first, and it will be time to start the banquet in a while." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "You guys go first." Yan'er asked him to go by himself for a while. ”

The two of them retreated in response, and the Seventh Prince wanted to follow. But he was pulled by the king and asked him to be a companion with him, and he would go over together for a while.

Jokes, his friends know Yun Xiangrong's thoughts, so naturally he can't ask Xiao Qi to get in the way.

Although she is a married woman, her bearing and insight are also in the eyes of the king, not to mention the others, just say that this epidemic, what she has done is far beyond the women next to her.

She is worthy of Huo Chen, and it is a pity that she is worthy of Zhou Mu.

The other side. Huo Chen and Yun Xiangrong walked out of the Queen Mother's dormitory, and walked slowly all the way towards Zhan Huadian.

When he walked to a pavilion that was a little remote, Huo Chen stopped.

"The banquet didn't start so soon, let's go together." Huo Chen said lightly, and walked towards the gazebo.

Yun Xiangrong stood still.

She didn't dare to be entangled with Huo Chen too deeply, she had put out the fire for Zhou Mu's moth in her previous life, she was afraid that if she was too close to him, she would repeat the mistakes of the past in this life.

She vaguely knew that if she got closer to him, maybe many things would be out of her control.

Reborn in a lifetime, she has no intention of loving again, she just wants to live her own little life and be at ease.

Yun Xiangrong stood in place and said, "The prince will go by himself, and the courtiers will go to the venue first." After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Huo Chen's reaction, she turned around and left, for fear that if she took a slow step, the anger of the people behind her would burn on her.

But no matter how fast she was, it didn't help.

A tremendous force came, and she fell into an embrace with a scorching heat and a thick anger, and was led two steps, her back resting on the trunk of her uncle's tree beside her.

Huo Chen lowered his head to look at her, his eyes burned with emotions that she couldn't understand, as if he was angry and helpless.

Yun Xiangrong didn't want to spend more time snooping, and tried his best to suppress his heartbeat and breathing, which accelerated as he approached, and looked at him gently and calmly.

"Rongrong, you're hiding from me!" Huo Chen imprisoned her between himself and the huge trunk of the tree, and opened her mouth in a low voice.

His eyes were indifferent but seemed to contain a thousand emotions, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, revealing a little displeasure.

"The courtiers are married women, so they naturally have to hide from the prince, this is the rule." Yun Xiangrong spoke, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Yun Xiangrong said the word courtier, it would make two people extremely crazy, one was Jiang Qing and the other was Huo Chen.

Just look at the eyes that he suddenly knows at the moment, and the obvious anger at the corners of his mouth, you can get a glimpse of it.

Annoyed him, Yun Xiangrong was vigilant.

However, vigilance also proved useless.

The next moment, Yun Xiangrong was kissed on the lips by Huo Chen.

There were two previous temptations, but this time his kiss became more and more familiar, and his lips and tongue swept over, making Yun Xiangrong's body tremble, and the whole person seemed to have no strength.

Yun Xiangrong closed his eyes and wanted to bite him again like in the carriage, but before he could bite down, he retreated first.

He pressed his forehead against hers. laughed softly: "Rongrong, do you think I will be the same." ”

He was bitten by her last time, but if he was bitten by her again this time, it would be really useless for him.

Yun Xiangrong was angry in his heart, and he raised his hand and wanted to hit him.

But his hand was raised in the air, but he saw Huo Chen standing there motionless, and said, "Rong Rong is annoyed?" If you want to fight, I won't hide. As long as you don't love Zhou Mu, it's done. ”

Yun Xiangrong's breathing suddenly became chaotic.

This man is shameless.

Zhou Mu, she used to be loved, and love was in the bone marrow.

So now that I talk about it, even if I don't love it, it's still a little stuffy.

She looked directly at him and said very slowly, "I just don't love you, and I will never fall in love with you!" ”

She didn't dodge her gaze, she looked straight at him, and he couldn't find the slightest bit of emptiness in her eyes.

My heart was suddenly slightly chaotic, and even my breathing was unconsciously aggravated.

What Yun Xiangrong said was exactly what he cared about the most and was the most uncertain.

From the beginning of his love for her, he asked someone to check all her past, and naturally knew that she was crazy about chasing Zhou Mu back then, and finally married him. also knew that she would not let him take a concubine after marriage, and she would bear the name of a jealous woman.

If she did these things for him, he would naturally be happy, but this was what she did for Zhou Mu.

This became an indelible pain in his heart.

He could feel the difference between her and Zhou Mu now, but now that she said this, he suddenly felt a wave of uncertainty.

Is it really as the ancients said, husband and wife quarrel, the head of the bed quarrels and the end of the bed, and they have been reconciled?

No, you can't! He wouldn't allow that to happen.

Anger surged up in his heart, his eyes were cold, with Yun Xiangrong unprecedentedly fierce, "Yun Xiangrong, you say it again." ”

Yun Xiangrong raised his face, and said arrogantly and indifferently: "I just don't love Zhou Mu, and I will never fall in love with you, you should die." ”

Huo Chen looked at her arrogant appearance, and seemed to return to that year in a trance, and the woman also said in his ear, even if she couldn't have children in this life, she would never want him to live in the world.

Huo Chen thought, Yun Xiangrong's appearance in front of him seemed to overlap with that woman, and he reached out uncontrollably to pinch her neck, and the force in his hand was so great that Yun Xiangrong couldn't help frowning.

Yun Xiangrong felt that he couldn't breathe, but he still looked at Huo Chen stubbornly and indifferently, without any intention of struggling.

Huo Chen was even more angry in his heart, the person was also so indifferent to look at his powerlessness and struggle, but he didn't see the slightest softness.

When he came back to his senses, Yun Xiangrong's face was already blue and white.

He hurriedly let go.

Yun Xiangrong lost his strength to support him, and collapsed to the ground, coughing low.

Huo Chen panicked, hurriedly helped her up nervously, looked at the bruises on her neck, felt annoyed, and reached out to touch her.

How can Yun Xiangrong wave his hand and open his hand, and said coldly: "You don't need to be pretended." After a pause, he said, "If you change your mind and don't want to take my life, then I'll go first." ”

Huo Chen was so choked that he couldn't speak, he was really out of control.

Yun Xiangrong saw that he didn't speak, turned around and left without looking back.

As soon as he walked out of a distance, he saw Zhou Mu and Jiang Qing walking towards him.

Two people walked side by side, one was Zhou Mu and the other was Jiang Qing.

They walked together, walking slowly, if you don't know that one of them is unmarried, and the other is already a husband, they look like a pair from a distance, and they are very compatible.

Yun Xiangrong frowned suddenly. Dodged and hid behind a nearby tree, not wanting to meet them.

The two walked to a place not far from her hiding and stopped, maybe it was a matter of angle, Zhou Mu and they couldn't see this, but Yun Xiangrong could see their actions clearly.

"Qing'er, the queen won't embarrass her." Zhou Mu endured all the way, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"What, you're worried about her? You're thinking about her, aren't you? Jiang Qing originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard this, his eyebrows were raised, the corners of his mouth were a little angry, and he opened his mouth to question.

"It's not. Qing'er, don't be annoyed. Seeing her like this, Zhou Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug her and said, "Where do you want to go." It's just that she is the lady I am marrying after all, and her father is not a good person, so I'm worried that our affairs will be complicated. ”

Seeing him hugging himself and talking softly, Jiang Qing's face looked better, a little shy, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, my aunt won't embarrass her, at most beat her and tell her to give up her position in the main room." ”

Jiang Qing's face blushed. Looking at Zhou Mu's eyes with shyness and affection, Zhou Mu's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help leaning over and kissing her.

Jiang Qing was startled, and after a symbolic struggle, he fell softly into his arms, letting him take what he wanted.

After a while, Zhou Mu let go of Jiang Qing and said with a smile: "Qing'er's taste is so sweet." ”

His eyebrows are slightly raised, the smile on the corner of his mouth is gentle and a little presumptuous, and with his handsome face, it really makes people can't take their eyes off.

Jiang Qing glared at him shyly: "You are dead, you are so kind to others in broad daylight." ”

"It's not good in the daytime, Qing'er wants to be at night" Zhou Mu lowered his voice, revealing a bit of bewitchment.

Jiang Qing was so embarrassed that his whole body was hot, he glared at him fiercely, stomped his foot hard, and said, "You hate it, ignore you." She said and ran.

Zhou Mu caught up with her with a smile, helped her tidy up her appearance, and kept warm for a while before leaving leisurely.

Behind the big tree, Yun Xiangrong stood motionless, and after they walked away, Yun Xiangrong turned around and wanted to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Huo Chen standing behind her, looking at her lightly.

Yun Xiangrong looked at him with a smile and said, "See, men in the world are so affectionate, I will never be stupid to trust any man again." ”

Huo Chen looked at the bitter and mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, and only felt distressed.

Seeing her stride away, he reached out and held her in his arms.

However, this time, Yun Xiangrong seemed to be crazy, struggling hard while desperately hitting and kicking him.

However, Huo Chen seemed to feel no pain, hugged her tightly, and let her beat her motionlessly.

Finally, as if he had vented enough, Yun Xiangrong stopped his movements and let him hold him expressionlessly.

"Rongrong, you believe me once, I am different from Zhou Mu."

"Impossible!" Yun didn't want to think about it.

"How can you trust me?" Huo Chen stretched out his hand to support her shoulder, looking straight at her, stubbornly wanting to get an answer.

Yun Xiangrong suddenly smiled, his laughter was low and a little sharp, "If you take out your heart and show it to me, I will believe it." ”

Huo Chen was stunned for a moment.

The heart is taken out, he is also dead, how can he do it?

Yun Xiangrong broke away from his hand and smiled mockingly: "Give me your heart, I will believe it, otherwise don't pester me anymore." ”

After saying that, she didn't stop and strode away.

Huo Chen looked at her back and was silent.

If he loves someone, he will not make her feel sorry for her. Three wives and four concubines, that's just the vulgarity made by some laypeople in order to covet their physical desires, if she wants, it will be a couple for a lifetime, and he will give it to her.

It's just that now her heart is not in him, what do you mean by saying more?

When Yun Xiangrong arrived at Zhan Hua Palace, the hall was already overcrowded, and they were seated, Yun Xiangrong swept his eyebrows, and saw Zhou Mu sitting in the back position.

She walked over slowly and whispered behind him, "Husband." ”

"Why did you come, I have been looking for you for a long time." Zhou Mu heard her voice, pulled her into a seat, and reprimanded in a low voice.

I blamed her for being late.

Yun Xiangrong sneered in his heart, he was just a moment earlier than her.

Moreover, he was obviously with Jiang Qing, when did he look for her.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and experienced it in her previous life, she would have really blinded him by the care on his face.

Slightly lowered his eyes to hide the ridicule in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, Yun Xiangrong's face already had a gentle smile on his face, and he said in a low voice: "It's the concubine who is not in good health." Fang just stayed in the queen's palace for a while, and then was recruited by the queen mother to talk for a while, and it was too late. ”

Zhou Mu was shocked when she heard this, the Queen Mother was looking for her? Why is that? She even knows the Queen Mother? Could it be that he made something unpleasant to the Queen Mother?

Hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Why did the Queen Mother look for you?" Are you guilty of her old man? Have you ever been punished? ”

He asked quickly and quickly, if he didn't know his temperament, Lian Yun Xiangrong would have been deceived by the anxiety on his face, thinking how much he cared about her.

And now, Yun Xiangrong just smiled lightly. "No." I just talked for a while. It was the last time she rescued the Seven Princes from the lake, and her old man knew about it, so she called over and said a few words. ”

Zhou Mu's heart suddenly relaxed when he heard this, it is not a bad thing, the most important thing is that he will not be implicated!

But in an instant, his heart moved, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Yun Xiangrong's gaze with anticipation.

Yun Xiangrong looked at him, only feeling inexplicably ironic, how did she fall in love with him when she was blind in the first place?

At that moment, there was a singing outside.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The eunuch's shrill voice changed. The originally noisy hall also fell silent.

Everyone got up and knelt down to take the car, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." A loud sound shot into the sky.

The emperor walked in, looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and their wives and daughters, his face was flat, and when he walked to Zhou Mu's side, he stopped.

Everyone didn't dare to look up, and Yun Xiangrong only saw the edge of the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe.

Zhou Mu didn't know why the emperor stayed, and he was so nervous that his breath was heavy.

After a while, the emperor walked away, sat down on a high position, and called "Flat body, give a seat." ”

Everyone got up and took their seats.

Zhou Mu looked up. His face was pale, his face was full of beads of sweat, and the emperor had just stopped in front of him, but he was scared enough.

He raised his hand to wipe his sweat.

Yun Xiangrong looked at him like this, and a hint of ridicule flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Mu seemed to be aware of it, and when he looked closely, he found that her face was flat and she didn't smile at all.
