The queen snorted.

"That's what you see, it's ridiculous!"

"Yes, my sister is short-sighted, and I was also laughed at by Mr. Ah Chang."

The queen looked at Yue'er and said, "This palace can consider giving you a way out, but you have to do one thing for this palace." ”

"If the queen wants her concubines to deal with the crown prince and the king of Qi, then this matter will be difficult to obey!"

Yue'er refused, and the queen's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Oh, you dare to refuse?"

"The concubines don't dare, but if the queen is forced to work hard, then I can only die."

"You won't listen to Bengong and help me do things?"

The queen looked surprised.

"If the crown prince and King Qi want their concubines to do such a thing, I will refuse the same, have you forgotten, the queen mother just said yesterday that our Dawei must not be like the Liu family and the Li family of the previous dynasty, do things like brothers and blood cannibalism, and the emperor often educates his concubines!"

The queen stared at Yue'er in surprise, she didn't expect her to say this, and she was shocked and angry in her heart.

Yue'er presented the Ciming gold medal with both hands and saluted respectfully to the queen.

The queen took the gold medal of Ciming, and there was a flicker of madness in her eyes.

"Do you think that if you don't want to do it, no one will do it, tell you, you are just an ant here, and no one can stop what this palace wants to do!"

"It's difficult, is it, the Queen Mother is you-"

Yue'er sighed, she didn't dare to imagine that the death of the Queen Mother was related to the queen.

"Do you know what the general trend of the world is, and what do you know is that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die?"

"No, I don't know, and I don't want to know!"

"Since you want to die, then this palace will fulfill you!"

Seeing Yue'er's retreat, the queen sneered proudly, she waved her hand and shouted, "Come in!" ”

The door of the hall was pushed open, and five people walked in from the outside, these five people were Huang Jien, Yu Shanggong, Hanyan, Lu Yao and Zhao Zhen.

Huang Jien hugged the queen's thigh, Yue'er was not surprised, but it was strange how he hugged so quickly, and the smoke made her a little surprised, she didn't expect that the queen mother's personal palace maid was also the queen's eyeliner, as for Yu Shanggong, her face was swollen like a pig's head, even if she was familiar with her, she had to recognize it for a while, and when Yue'er saw Zhaozhen, her eyes widened.

But Zhao Zhen's eyes were clear, he looked at Yue'er and nodded slightly.

This is eye contact, Yue'er suddenly understood Zhaozhen's intentions, he did not give in to the queen, but had to do it.

Yue'er was taken aback when she finally saw Lu Yao, because she was carrying a birdcage in her hand, there were two pigeons in it, just now she had obviously stepped on the carrier pigeon that the prince gave her, how could there be two more?

"Lu Yao—"

The queen shouted.

"The villain is here."

"You go and release the carrier pigeon."

"Yes—"

Lu Yao walked out of the dormitory with the cage and released the two carrier pigeons.

The queen looked at Yue'er and smiled a little proudly: "Don't you want to send a message to the prince, this palace did it for you, these two pigeons have strips tied to their feet, and the prince will soon know the news of the queen mother's death!" ”

Yue'er showed a look of surprise, didn't the queen want to block the news, why did she send the message to the crown prince.

The queen glanced at everyone.

"Hanyan, you go to the Ganlu Palace, and quietly tell the concubine that the prince will soon bring people into the palace to grab power, and they will enter the palace from the west gate!"

Hanyan answered and turned away.

The queen smiled coldly.

"With the means of Concubine Yuan's sister, I think King Qi should be able to get the news from the palace immediately!"

Concubine Yuan is the palace master of Qihua Palace, and her power is not trivial, and it is obvious that the queen has already been aware of it.

Yue'er was shocked, she was in the Hundred Flowers Class and had rehearsed King Qin's drama, which was clearly a reenactment of the Xuanwumen Change.

The queen handed the gold medal in her hand to Huang Jien.

"Huang Daguan, you took this Ciming gold medal and went to the East Palace in person, and said that there was an accident in the palace, and you were ordered by Concubine Duan to ask him to enter the palace from the west gate immediately.

Huang Jien bowed and said, "Yes-"

Seeing Huang Jien go out of the palace, the queen said to Yu Shanggong again: "You go and inform King Lu and King Jing and tell them about the changes in the palace." ”

Yu Shanggong also answered and walked out of the dormitory.

Yue'er didn't expect the queen to play such a big game of chess, it was unbelievable, the queen not only let the prince and King Qi kill each other, but also involved King Lu and King Jing, is this going to catch them all? But Yue'er had an agreement with Zhao Heng that only Rudong could be trusted by the people around her, and she still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the prince would not be fooled.

Now that only Zhao Zhen was left in the dormitory, he looked a little nervous.

The queen looked at Zhao Zhen and said softly: "Your Highness, now this palace will give you a chance to avenge your mother's concubine, and Concubine Duan will be handed over to you." ”

The blue-faced guard, who had been silent, clicked and pressed the handle of the knife, and as long as Zhao Zhen gave an order, he stepped forward to attack Yue'er.

Yue'er didn't expect such a situation, she thought that the queen would lock herself up at most, and she wouldn't be in a hurry to kill her, but she didn't expect this woman to be a femme fatale and force Zhao Zhen to attack her.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Yue'er, bowed down and said: "Empress Qiyu, Erchen doesn't want Concubine Duan to die so cheaply, she forced her mother to death, and Erchen asked to beat her into the cold palace, cut off water and food, and starve her to death!" Although his words were fierce, they were not immediately actionable, and there was still time left.

"Hmph, Your Highness is too merciful, and actually gave this kind of woman a chance to survive, since this is your first request, this palace will promise you!"

Yue'er knew that the queen would not let herself go, in fact, she had handed over the Ciming gold medal to Yu Shanggong before, and it was the same ending, at this time, Yue'er walked to the head of the bed and bowed twice to the lying Xuan Ling, and walked calmly to the door.

Passing by Zhaozhen's side, Yue'er paused, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "Your Royal Highness King Xin, your mother concubine was not forced to death by me!" ”

Zhao Zhen lowered his head.

"Niangniang, Xiao Wang always believes that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil!"

"Yes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's not that you don't pay off, the time has not come!"

After Yue'er finished saying this, her hand moved, and she quietly stuffed a bottle into Zhao Zhen's hand, and Zhao Zhen looked up in amazement.

This bottle contains the antidote to Xuan Ling, Yue'er knows that she will never be able to approach Xuan Ling again after entering the Kunxi Palace, so she entrusts him with the last chance, this is Yue'er's hope, she believes that she will not look at the wrong person.

Zhao Zhen held the medicine bottle tightly, and his body trembled slightly.

When Yue'er walked out of the Renming Palace, there were immediately guards escorting her to the royal chariot.

The queen walked to the side of the bed and stared coldly at Xuan Ling.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound downstairs.

"Report, a thousand miles of urgency—"

A guard held a scroll of paper in his hand, and quickly ran into the Renming Hall and went straight upstairs.

The queen turned around and saw a Tsing Yi guard running into the dormitory, kneeling on one knee and presenting the scroll of paper.

The blue-faced guard picked up the scroll of paper and opened it.

"What's the news?"

The queen asked.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, this is a letter from the Great Beijing Kingdom, and the Khan of the Great Beijing Kingdom, Wan Yan Ashilan, personally agreed to His Majesty's request for an alliance!"

"Well, it's good, what the prince and King Qi want, the palace won't let them achieve it!"

Zhao Zhen heard it on the side, and his heart tightened, he didn't expect the queen to make an alliance request to Dajingguo, wouldn't it be dangerous for Brother Sui Wang to be a colt now? Zhao Zhen didn't know that Zhao Ju was going to attack Youzhou.

The queen walked out of the dormitory, leaned on the railing and said lightly to the blue-faced guard: "Mai Ji, when Concubine Duan enters, lock her in the dormitory, nail all the doors and windows, and go in to collect the body after fifteen days!" ”

"Yes!"

The blue-faced guard named Mai Ji answered and quickly went downstairs.

Kneeling outside the door were Rudong, Lan Qiu, Ji Hong and Binliang, they heard the queen's order, almost one by one, they sifted the chaff, only Rudong's heart was like a knife, she finally knew why Yue'er didn't let herself follow, if she didn't listen to Yue'er, it would be a dead end at the moment.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, like a sharp scimitar.

New Year's Day.

Youzhou.

As soon as the hour arrived, a dull horn was blown.

The sound of this trumpet carries desolation and solemnity.

With murderous intent and traps.
