At night, the back garden of King An's mansion.

An Jingxuan sat alone in the bamboo forest, looking at the chessboard in front of him by the moonlight and candlelight.

After hearing the faint sound of footsteps, An Jingxuan fell.

"Here we are."

A woman walked up to An Jingxuan, took off the cloak and hat on her head, and showed her face.

"An Shizi is so interested."

An Jingxuan glanced at the person in front of him, "Miss Liu, please take a seat." ”

Liu Wushuang didn't say anything, sat down directly opposite An Jingxuan, looked at the chess game on the table, and coldly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Thanks to Yun Qingyan, I can say that I have suffered a heavy loss this time!"

"It's normal to lose a moment when you miss a move, but fortunately, Miss Liu is safe and sound now." An Jingxuan calmly spoke, and he didn't seem surprised at all by this ending.

Liu Wushuang frowned, "An Shizi kept saying that he wanted to form an alliance with me before, but so far, it seems that I have not received any benefits from An Shizi's side. Instead, he was implicated in this plan and expelled from the palace. ”

"Miss Liu's words are not right." An Jingxuan played with the white jade chess pieces in his hand, "Although I did say that I joined forces, but this time the plan was what you and the Queen Mother meant, and now that it has failed, it naturally has nothing to do with it." ”

"Huh." Liu Wushuang hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was a bit of mockery in his eyes, "Do you dare to say that you are not happy to see the poisoning of the queen this time?" ”

"What does it have to do with the following?" An Jingxuan landed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, "After all, there is no grudge between me and Queen Chu. ”

"Why do you want to pretend in front of me, if you want to cooperate with me, in the final analysis, it is for Yun Qingyan. This time, you don't seem to be interfering, but in fact, you are afraid that you also hope that Queen Chu can die and never wake up again, after all, she will no longer have any way to marry Yun Qingyan to her nephew. ”

If it weren't for this reason, how could An Jingxuan be willing to join forces with her.

An Jingxuan didn't speak immediately, but a faint coldness crossed his eyes.

"Now that you've left the palace, you should know very well what to say and what not to say."

"Heh, An Shizi rest assured." Liu Wushuang hooked his lips and smiled, "After all, I still have to rely on An Shizi to help me in the next many things, so naturally I won't tell others about this matter." It's just that sometimes when I think about it, I feel very curious, if Yun Qingyan knew about it, what would he think in his heart. ”

An Jingxuan looked like he loved Yun Qingyan, but he watched Queen Chu being poisoned with a cold eye.

Understanding the meaning of Liu Wushuang's words, An Jingxuan's whole expression was still extremely cold, without the slightest guilt or weakness.

"There are some things she will know, but there are some things that she will never know in her life if I don't want to."

In the tone, it seemed to be like two people like An Jingxuan before.

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Empress Chu had already woken up, and when she heard Hong Feng talk about what she had been in a coma during this time, she felt both frightened and angry.

"Hongfeng, this palace thinks that she has never done anything to snub the Queen Mother, but she never thought that she would want to kill me!"

Empress Chu was still a little weak, leaning on the bed, but there was anger between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Queen Mother, if it weren't for the eldest princess's cleverness and timely discovery this time, I'm afraid you would really be in danger." Hong Feng sighed, "It's just a pity that the Queen Mother is so ruthless, and the emperor still didn't punish her in the end." Now it's just a confinement, and the emperor has specially ordered that this matter must not reveal the slightest bit of tone......"

Saying that, Hong Feng paused for a moment, afraid that he would make Queen Chu even more sad because of his words, and immediately said again: "But the queen mother must still be worried about you in her heart, but this time the matter is really important, so the emperor will send the queen mother lightly." ”

"Okay, you don't have to say it." Empress Chu smiled and shook her head at Hong Feng, "After all, this palace has been in this harem for so many years, although the relationship with the emperor is getting weaker now, how can I not understand the reason why the emperor did this." Once this matter breaks out, it will not be as simple as a royal scandal. You must know that the Queen Mother is not the emperor's biological mother after all, if this matter breaks out, how the emperor handles it will inevitably attract the attention of the government and the opposition, and if she is not careful, she may have a reputation for improper handling. It is the wisest decision to keep this matter under control and not let anyone know. ”

When Hong Feng heard Empress Chu's words, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Niangniang, in fact, in your heart, you have always thought about the emperor, right?"

Empress Chu shook her head, "The palace is just a matter of facts, so how can you think about it for the emperor." ”

"If it's really a matter of facts, don't you want to ask for justice for yourself at all, after all, you really almost lost your life this time. The slave maid felt that in the final analysis, it was because you cared about the emperor very much in your heart and always put the emperor first, so she immediately thought of the emperor's situation, not whether you could be fair. ”

She has been by her mother's side for so long, no matter what Niangniang says, and no matter how disappointed Niangniang is in the emperor, but after so many years of husband and wife love, she will always remember it in her heart.

Because of Hong Feng's words, Queen Chu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she smiled softly, and she couldn't tell whether she was relieved or bitter in her smile.

"As a queen, this is naturally something I should consider. As for the ...... between me and the emperor," Empress Chu sighed, "After so many things, it is naturally not as good as usual." ”

"Queen, the friendship I have for you in my heart has not changed from beginning to end." Emperor Yun's voice suddenly sounded, and the next moment, he walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Chu was stunned for a moment, but the next moment she restrained her expression and prepared to get up and salute.

"Don't move." Emperor Yun immediately stepped forward quickly to support Empress Chu, "The poison in your body has just been unraveled, and now you have to cultivate at this time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Chu leaned back on the bed, lowered her eyes slightly, and her expression was cold.

If it was in normal times, Emperor Yun would definitely be unhappy and helpless in his heart when he saw Empress Chu's expression, but just now he heard what Empress Chu said outside the door.

Originally, he thought that Queen Chu would definitely be angry, but he didn't expect that she was the one who could think about herself the most. The friendship of youth, the love between husband and wife for so many years, cannot be dissipated because of the estrangement overnight.

Seeing this between the emperor and the queen, Hong Feng bowed and retreated.

And Emperor Yun stood beside the bed, looking at Empress Chu's still somewhat pale face, and his heart was filled with distress.

"Queen, you have suffered this time."
