As he spoke, he howled like a child.

Ah Li didn't understand what her young lady was talking about, but when she saw her like this, she was immediately full of distress.

Hurriedly put down the basin in his hand, stepped forward and said, "Miss······"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lu Guanlan suddenly get up and throw himself into Ah Li's arms.

Ah Li was already older than Lu Guanlan, and when she looked at her young lady calmly, she forgot that her young lady was still a girl who hadn't grown up.

Now seeing the young lady like this, my heart suddenly feels sour.

How much does this little girl have to go through before she can be stable?

Thinking like this, Ah Li couldn't help but feel sad.

This night, there were bursts of crying in the peach orchard, and the outside of the courtyard was extremely quiet, but no one seemed to know or hear.

On the roof, Chu Yu braved the snow to keep watch all night, listening to Lu Guanlan's cry, his heart seemed to be grabbed, and for the first time, he felt sorry for this eldest lady of the Lu family.

The next day, the snow outside the Jiaqi Palace fell to the ground, and before the palace people could clean it, they saw the concubine walking here wearing a red fox.

There was also a person behind the concubine, who was also wearing a cloak, and the cloak blocked her face, and she couldn't see the faces of the people who came.

At this time, Mama Yue happened to come out of it and was about to instruct the palace people to clean up the snow in front of the door, when she saw the concubine.

"The slave maid has seen the concubine Niangniang," Mama Yue immediately saluted, "I don't know if the concubine Niangniang is ······"

Ling Chan smiled slightly, glanced at the palace gate, and said, "I heard that the queen mother was unwell, so I wanted to come to visit, and I asked Mama to make it convenient." ”

Mama Yue didn't have a good impression of this concubine, thinking that the queen mother was very sad yesterday, and she was about to suffer such a big blow, if she saw this concubine who didn't know whether it was good or bad, and then heard the concubine say something that shouldn't be said, wouldn't it make her heart more and more annoyed.

Thinking about it, he said: "The queen has been exempted from the greetings of the masters, and she hasn't gotten up today, so the concubine should come back that day." ”

After that, he lowered his eyes and looked like a respectful send-off.

Ling Chan was indifferent and coughed lightly.

At this time, he saw the man who followed him take two steps forward.

When he arrived at Mama Yue, he said in a low voice: "Mama Yue, it's the palace." ”

Mama Yue was stunned when she heard this, and immediately reacted, immediately turned her head and dismissed the palace people around her, and said to the concubine: "It's windy outside, and the concubine and the concubine please come in with the slave." ”

Ling Chan smiled again, turned her head to look at the virtuous concubine beside her, and followed Mama Yue into Jiaqi Palace.

When they arrived at the outer hall, Mama Yue turned around and saluted the two, "Please also ask Concubine Xian and Concubine Niangniang to wait, the queen has not yet gotten up, and the slave maid will go to serve first." ”

With that, Mama Yue turned around and went towards the inner hall.

Concubine Xian took off her cloak and sat down beside her.

Ling Chan also sat down and said, "I thought that Mama Yue's remarks were just to shirk and not let me see the queen, but I never thought that the queen really didn't get up." ”

Concubine Xian's brows furrowed slightly, "Concubine Shu said carefully." ”

Ling Chan smiled: "What's the matter, in this palace, it is taboo to say that the queen has not gotten up yet?" ”

Concubine Xian didn't speak again, just turned her head to look out the window.

At this time, the snow outside had stopped, and the hall was very warm, but for some reason, she felt that everything in the palace had changed now, and everything had become thin.

In the inner hall, Mama Yue lightly went to the bed, saw that the queen was still asleep, sighed in her heart, and didn't know whether to wake up.

The queen didn't sleep well all night last night, and if it weren't for Concubine Xian coming today, she wouldn't let anyone in.

As he was hesitating, he suddenly saw the queen on the bed open her eyes.

"Mother, you're awake!" Mama Yue hurriedly stepped forward, went to the hanger on the side to take off her clothes, and put them on the queen who had just sat up.

The queen raised her hand and rubbed her temples and said, "What time is it?" ”

Mama Yue said, "It's still early, it's just ······ Concubine Xian Niangniang and Concubine Shu came. ”

The queen shook her head slightly, and only after a while did she say, "Concubine Xian······ Lady? ”

Mama Yue nodded, "It was the concubine who came with the concubine, at first the slave maid thought that there was only the concubine, so she wanted to excuse herself, but then it was the concubine who opened her mouth, and the slave maid welcomed the two of them in." ”

The queen was a little strange, "When did this concubine get so close to Concubine Xian," she thought, and said, "What about Concubine Li?" ”

Mama Yue thought for a while and said, "Slave and maid look at this, Concubine Li doesn't seem to know about it. ”

The queen nodded, then got up, "Freshen up." ”

The two waited in the outer hall for a long time, and finally saw the queen come out of the dormitory.

was about to get up and salute, but heard the queen speak: "No courtesy, sit down." ”

As she spoke, the queen also sat down on the upper seat, and then looked at Concubine Xian, "How did you come here at such a risk?" ”

Concubine Xian looked at the queen, seeing that the queen looked haggard, the leisure and indifference in the past seemed to have disappeared all at once, and now her face was full of indescribable sadness.

"If I can come and see you, it's not dangerous," Concubine Xian said.

The queen sighed faintly, "Come to think of it, you know it too." ”

Concubine Xian nodded, "It was the concubine who came to inform her, if it weren't for that, the concubine wouldn't have come." ”

When the queen heard this, her eyes moved to Ling Chan, who was sitting next to Concubine Xian.

The last time I saw her, she had no intersection with this concubine, how could it be that at this time, the concubine would go to inform Concubine Yu Xian about her nephew?

What does she want to do? Or do you want to use Concubine Xian for something?

Ling Chan noticed the queen's gaze, and also looked back, smiled at the queen, and said: "The concubine has a matter of asking the virtuous concubine Niangniang, and as a condition, it is forbidden to bring the virtuous concubine Niangniang out." ”

For Ling Chan's honesty, not only the queen, but also Concubine Xian was a little surprised.

originally thought that Ling Chan would hide a little bit from others about letting her help, but now it seems that she thinks too much.

"Conditions?" The queen frowned and murmured softly.

Concubine Xian said: "It's just to help find someone, it's not a big deal, you don't need to worry about it." ”

Ling Chan looked at the queen and concubines, and couldn't help but hook her lips.

If she is just a virtuous concubine, she may not be able to do it, but if she also gets the favor of the queen, it will be much easier for these two people to contribute to this matter.

At this time, I heard the queen say: "You are out of the palace like this, if you are found in the Zhuhua Palace, wouldn't you be suspicious?" ”

Concubine Xian said: "It's okay, the concubine let the palace maids around her pretend to be concubines, just lie on the bed and pretend to sleep, and no one will find out." ”

The queen sighed again, and said with some disgust: "Nonsense, how can you let the palace maid pretend to be a mother." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Chan, then got up, and said to Concubine Xian: "You come with this palace." ”

Then he went to the inner sanctum.

Concubine Xian understood what the queen meant, and immediately got up.

Mama Yue was still guarding the outer hall, her eyes falling on Ling Chan.

At this time, I heard Ling Chan suddenly say: "Mama doesn't have to stare at the palace, the palace is drinking, eating, and eating snacks." ”

Mama Yue was silent, and retreated to the side, but she still didn't plan to leave.

Ling Chan smiled and took the tea on the table.

As soon as she returned to the inner hall, the queen turned around, "What's the matter with the concubine?" ”

Concubine Xian knew that the queen was going to ask herself this, not that she didn't trust her, but she was afraid that the real purpose of the concubine was not this.

"The concubine only said this to the concubine, as for whether it is true or not, the concubine is really not sure," the concubine said truthfully.

The queen sighed, "If it is really entrusted to you to find someone, it is easy to do, and this palace has a way to do it for you, but if this is not the case, have you ever thought that behind her, there is a concubine." ”

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes, "I thought about it." ”

If the concubine is not just for this, then what she does today is the handle that the concubine will take hold of her from now on. In any case, she didn't do it very smartly.

When the queen heard Concubine Xian say this, she was even more annoyed, "Have you thought about why this is still the case? You also know that Li Qian is regarded by the palace as his own child, and the palace will experience this bad news, where is there still the heart to clean up. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xian raised her eyes and looked at the queen, "It is precisely because of this that the concubine came to see you." ”

The queen shook her head, "You're causing chaos in this palace." ”

Concubine Xian said: "Now that the situation in the palace is difficult to understand, why don't you gamble?" ”

The queen was stunned for a moment and looked at Concubine Xian, "What do you mean?" ”

Concubine Xian said in a deep voice, "The concubine has changed her mind again." ”

The queen frowned, "What's the idea?" ”

Concubine Xian said: "The concubine used to say that she didn't want Mo'er to become the prince, but now, she has changed her mind. ”

The queen was stunned.

Suddenly remembered that the virtuous concubine said to herself that day, she didn't want Cheng Mo to be the prince, and then she saw Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo said that she wanted to be the prince, she was thinking of finding an opportunity to persuade the virtuous concubine, but now that she sees the virtuous concubine like this, she doesn't have to worry about it.

"Li Guogong is old, and the only one who can rely on is the queen mother in the palace, and now General Li has passed away, and there is no successor to the Guogong Mansion, and the mother is even more lonely in the palace. Rao is concubine doesn't want the Qi family to get what she wants, but now the only one who can protect your mother is Mo'er," Concubine Xian said bluntly.

The queen didn't think that Concubine Xian could say this today, and immediately said: "Your mother's family has never been involved in party disputes, and has never shown the heart of contention, why did you say this?" ”

Concubine Xian bowed, "That's because since Mo'er was born, His Majesty has placed high hopes on him, and everyone thinks that it is natural for Mo'er to become the prince, including the Qi family." In this way, the Qi family will have nothing to fear. ”

The queen frowned, "But that's your mother's house, and now I listen to your words, it's ······"

"Yes, the concubine hates the Qi family," Concubine Xian said without waiting for the queen to finish speaking.

The queen was slightly stunned, "Concubine Xian, what are you talking about?" ”

Concubine Xian said: "The concubine is saying that the concubine hates the Qi family, so the concubine doesn't want the Qi family to get what they want." ”

The queen suddenly felt a little speechless, and after a long time, she spoke again: "So now you want Cheng Mo to be the crown prince for the sake of ······ Hongu? ”

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you're his only sister."
