Liu Qingyan once again stepped into the palace that she hadn't set foot in for a while.

Two or three guards sent by the queen led her into the palace where the queen lived, and the queen was guarding her outside the door for the first time.

"If it weren't for the poor health of this palace, I would definitely go to your Qi Palace" to see you." The queen said with a smile.

Liu Qingyan also smiled: "The queen mother is really serious, if there is something, just call me directly, where is the need to bother the queen mother to find me?" ”

The queen took her hand and pulled her inside, and said in a soft voice, "Don't be too nervous. Hongu called you over, not for anything else, but simply to chat with you. After a slight pause, the queen said again: "This palace also knows a lot about you......"

Nothing to do to call her? How is that possible. The queen seems to have underestimated Liu Qingyan a little. As Baili Yunrou's biological mother, thinking carefully about what she did at the hunting conference, Liu Qingyan didn't think that there was any special affection between the queen and her.

Therefore, in the face of the queen's words, Liu Qingyan just lowered her eyes and smiled lightly to show her respect: "It's really annoying that the queen is worried." ”

The queen had already taken her to sit down in the palace, and soon a maid would serve the best tea. The queen sat across from her and said softly, "We all know what the prince is like, and he can't do anything like that." ”

"It's not for us to judge what the prince is, Queen Mother," Liu Qingyan said with a cup, "And if that's really what the prince did, even if it was me or the queen mother, since the emperor had already sentenced the prince to sin, it would be impossible to reverse the situation." What's more, the prince is ......" Liu Qingyan paused and frowned: "What's more, the prince is no longer alive." ”

The queen frowned, not knowing if she had known about it beforehand. She looked at Liu Qingyan and said with a sigh: "The world is impermanent, we are all like this, it is difficult to predict what will happen." ”

"Queen Mother," Liu Qingyan looked at the queen, "I don't know if something happened to you this time?" ”

"You little girl, this palace has said that it is not a big deal to call you over, it is just that we met and talked about the sky, and nothing else......" The queen smiled.

But Liu Qingyan could clearly feel the far-fetched in her smile.

She turned her eyes away and said, "Queen Mother, let's just say anything, the prince just passed away, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with." The emperor appointed me as the governor of the capital, but there are still many things on my hands that have not been dealt with. So, let's not delay each other's time. ”

After all, that doesn't make sense. She has always disdained this kind of greetings and euphemisms in the harem.

The queen's expression changed slightly, and she smiled: "She really deserves to be the princess of Qi, in the end, she is the Yin of Jingfu, and she is also a woman valued by the emperor." This palace is really not good at hiding anything from you. ”

Liu Qingyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It seems that she does hide something from herself, and she does have something to say to her, and it seems that it is because she asks for it. And such a mind is not something that is difficult to guess in the first place.

"Is it because of Princess Yunrou?" Liu Qingyan threw out her first question.

The queen shook her head: "Princess Qi, who does this palace think of?" Since something happened to the princess, her temperament has changed greatly, and she is not close to the palace anymore. Now the palace only hopes that she can do well in her princess's mansion. ”

After a slight pause, the queen seemed to remember something important, and spoke in a low voice to Liu Qingyan: "As for the matter of the master of the horse...... To tell the truth, this palace did not support this marriage contract from the beginning. You see, this Qin Muyu was married to Liu Qingyan at the beginning, but later the Liu family was out of play, and he became entangled with Du Yuyan again. Later, how could Yun Rou marry him, and the palace was also very dissatisfied. ”

Liu Qingyan lowered her eyes and looked at the cup of tea in front of her, her expression was indifferent, just listening to her.

Yes, she knew that. Qin Muyu didn't have any benefit on the queen's side, so this time, Lu Siguan killed Qin Muyu, and the queen shouldn't feel much sad. What's more, Qin Muyu's bad news about Baili Yunrou, how could it not reach the queen here? A man who doesn't love his daughter dies, so what's the queen not happy about?

But it's still a little strange.

The emperor personally imprisoned and executed Lu Siguan, the queen, as the woman next to the emperor, should be on the united front with the emperor, and now she is looking for Liu Qingyan, so what is it for?

Liu Qingyan couldn't figure this out, and was still a little dazed for a while. But the queen quickly answered her puzzles.

"These days, the emperor has also become a little strange." The queen said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Liu Qingyan suddenly frowned and looked at her: "What does the queen mother mean by this?" What does weirdness mean? The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven......"

"You are also a smart person, the words of the true dragon emperor are used to coax children, if someone does something to the emperor, the emperor can't find out, then there is no way to do it." The queen sighed.

"The queen thinks that someone has done something to the emperor?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"This palace is so suspicious, and this palace also suspects that the person who did something to the emperor is Du Guifei." The queen frowned tightly and said word by word with great seriousness.

Liu Qingyan was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "Then I don't know what kind of strange things the emperor has?" ”

The queen knew everything about her, and said directly: "How to say it, now the emperor is getting more and more sleepy, in the past, he would go to the early court no matter what, but these days, the emperor always sleeps until three o'clock in the sun before he wakes up, and after waking up, he resolutely refuses to meet the courtiers, but fights with Du Guifei......"

Liu Qingyan was a little surprised.

As far as her memories of the hunting conference are concerned, the emperor is not the one who favors Du Guifei much. It can even be said that the emperor thinks that although Du Guifei is her concubine, she is not extremely favored.

Presumably he will be good to Du Guifei, but it is only because of part of Du Guifei's family, or because he became a husband and wife and had children. In addition, the emperor may prefer the empress, after all, the empress is decent and generous, and she is also very neat and tidy, and she is his right-hand man and his wife and lover.

But listening to what the queen said now, the emperor seems to be putting more attention on Du Guifei.

"That's not all," the queen said, "The emperor must have come to our palace to have a look at the palace, and will talk to the palace about the big and small matters in the palace, but recently, the emperor has been refusing to come to the palace, even if the palace sent someone to find him, he didn't come." It's like he doesn't plan to take care of anything, and he doesn't want to see the face of this palace. ”

"If the emperor doesn't come, will he stay at the concubine's place?" Liu Qingyan asked a little strangely.

The queen glanced at her and nodded with a sad face: "That's the case, the emperor is now in the palace of the concubine most of the time, just like what the palace just said, he is not in the palace, and the courtiers are not seen." The only one who is willing to see is the person Du Guifei wants him to see. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingyan recalled part of the incident. She was a little surprised to find that something was indeed wrong, just like the queen said, strange.

First of all, since the emperor has always listened to Du Guifei's words, according to the queen, this status quo has lasted for several days, so the emperor saw Lu Siguan kill Qin Muyu, and Lu Siguan was interrogated and killed by him, all in such a state. In other words, all of this was instigated by Du Guifei.

But just relying on Du Guifei, how is this possible? Du Guifei didn't think of killing Lu Siguan like that.

"But Du Guifei...... It's not like someone would do something like that. Liu Qingyan spoke up.

"So the palace suspects that Du Guifei still has helpers outside the palace." The queen said softly.

Liu Qingyan suddenly remembered the strange Nangong Yi, that is, the person she thought was Song Jingchen. She frowned and didn't speak. And the queen noticed her expression, so she said, "Princess Qi, you think so too, don't you?" You must have found something outside the palace, haven't you? ”

Liu Qingyan frowned and said: "But if it is according to what you said, the emperor is under the control of Du Guifei, even if we can find the real murderer, what can we do?" ”

The queen did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked around first, and her eyes fell on Dashuang's body.

Seeing her posture and gaze, Liu Qingyan probably knew what she meant, so she said: "This is my henchman, and please rest assured that today's matter, as long as there is no problem with the people on the queen's side, my henchman will not have any problems." ”

The queen gave Dashuang a deep look, and was silent for a few more moments before she spoke.

She looked at Liu Qingyan, got a little closer, lowered her voice, and said: "That's the case, princess, the prince has accumulated a lot of power, if you can find out who is behind the scenes, the palace can work with the prince to force the emperor to retreat, and the prince sits on the throne." As for you...... Then you can enjoy the title, and the prince can also be rehabilitated. How is it? ”
