However, the old emperor didn't have any thoughts at all to take a closer look at who was standing next to the queen, and this person stumbled into the main hall, and even the face of the Son of Heaven was abandoned behind him, and he threw himself on the side of the queen mother's bed and cried: "Queen Mother, it's too late!" You, why don't you wait any longer! ”

"I still remember that when I was young, I was sent by my father to travel around, and you often told me in my ear, hoping that I would be safe outside, and that I would return to Beijing as soon as possible......"

At this point, he was just a middle-aged man who had lost his mother.

The only "pitiful" thing about the Queen Mother is that she has never had any sympathy with her subordinates because she treats her subordinates too harshly, so that no one mentions Aunt Fang's crime - she brought up the topic that should not be mentioned in front of the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother was exhausted and unable to return to heaven.

Only Wu Zixi wiped her tears and comforted her: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager told the Chang Dynasty before leaving, she left at this time, and the oil has run out, and it is difficult to recover, I hope you don't blame the imperial doctors in the palace, they have done their best." ”

"I see."

The emperor endured the sentimentality in his heart, and still wanted to be a king who did not smile: "Queen Mother, what else has you not explained?" Nothing, about me? ”

Wu Zixi shook his head.

And Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but sigh, just a few words, after Wu Zixi's repeated polishing, they were about to say the flowers! After all, the Queen Mother left in a hurry, how could she have the time to confess her last words?

"Please mourn Your Majesty." After a long time, the queen opened her mouth, "There are many important things in the court, and you have to take care of it, please cheer up." If nothing else, the concubine will not bother you here. ”

In the eyes of the old emperor, anyone was superfluous at this time, he hurriedly answered, and the queen walked out of the queen mother's palace with Xiang Yeqi.

"The queen's gift is really too big."

Xiang Yeqi smiled helplessly twice, her mood at this time was heavier than the night.

"There is cause and effect, is it the fault of this palace?" The queen raised her eyebrows, full of relaxed gestures that had nothing to do with herself, "If you know how many injustices the Queen Mother has on her hands, you can think of how many people went to the temple to burn incense and make vows at this time, thank God for opening her eyes, and live up to the justice she has prayed for in the past few years." ”

That's really a lot, just from what Xiang Yeqi knows, there is the case of Mrs. Xiang, back and forth, she can be regarded as clearing the old accounts with the Queen Mother.

"There is indeed some truth in what the queen said, but I don't know what you promised today......" Xiang Yeqi said clearly, and it depends on the queen's meaning.

"Are you afraid that this palace will not be able to deceive you? You come over some. The queen smiled and said a few words to Yeqi, and beckoned someone to take a few steps closer to her, so that she could whisper in Yeqi's ear, "What I promised you, this palace will do it, but before that, this palace wants to tell you a few things." ”

This queen won't drag herself to drink tea to relieve her boredom, right?

Xiang Yeqi only felt that her whole person was wafting with the smell of tea, but fortunately, the queen was not as rebellious as she thought, and did not bring out another pot of tea, but went back to the palace to summon a girl, and this girl ......

"This—is this a rumor?" Xiang Yeqi frowned in physical discomfort, she had heard the news of Shangguan Rao's death twice.

Looks like her, but it seems to be different, Xiang Yeyan is only afraid that this Shangguan Rao will cheat the corpse again, then her Shangguan Rao is really a nesting doll-level acting.

"Didn't the four princesses forget that something happened when they rushed back to the capital from Partridge with the four highnesses."

As soon as the queen reminded her like this, Xiang Yeyan immediately remembered that this was a rumor, and it was clearly the "group performance" that had not deceived the old emperor.

I saw that the queen stroked the fan and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty has lost two close relatives, and it is not easy to come to this heart, if someone comforts you, Your Majesty should be able to come out of it as soon as possible and regain your strength." ”

What is this to cheer up?

Xiang Yeqi can see through how good the queen is at talking back, but I am afraid that before the old emperor can regain his strength, he will start to slump again and linger in the harem.

But the queen also explained to her earnestly: "It is said that this palace can not let you know about these things, but this palace wants to prove to you that it is sincere in cooperating with you." ”

Touching his conscience, he said that he threw goosebumps all over the place to the night. She froze and couldn't laugh.

"Just don't tease you. As for the side matter, this palace has also explained it to you. ”

The queen hid her face and snickered because she had teased her, and after laughing, she picked up the shelf of the mother of a country again, got up from Xiang Yeqi, and ran to the dungeon where Bo Zhaoxu was imprisoned.

Most of the dungeons are still the heirs of official families and even the sons of marquises, so Bo Zhaoxu's treatment is not too bad, the conditions in this dungeon are much better than the dark and damp dungeon, at least, there is still a little warmth, and the dry ground.

What Xiang Yeqi originally thought was probably the kind of water prison that detains people in icy water and suffers, or only the size of a palm, and needs to sleep on a straw mat with rats and ants, at least it should be an uncomfortable yin and tidal environment, and no matter how healthy people are, they will be bullied by the humidity and have a rash.

Thinking that Bo Zhaoxu had been in such an environment for several days, how could Xiang Yeqi not be worried, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment.

can hold Bo Zhaoxu's dungeon......

Xiang Yejia lifted the tulle from front of his hat and carefully examined the scene in front of him.

Not only are there tables, chairs, and beds, but there are even bookshelves more than one person high, and all kinds of ink treasures are also available, and even the mattresses on the beds are indigo brocade that is not inferior to the mattresses in the palace.

She laughed bitterly in her heart as if she was self-deprecating, she really pitied this man for nothing.

Come to think of it, Bo Zhaoxu is also the prince of a country after all, how can he be like the criminal prisoner who will be beheaded tomorrow to show the public,

The dungeon was clean, and the sound of the queen and her footsteps naturally reached Bo Zhaoxu's ears.

"Why is the Queen Mother here?"

This Bo Zhaoxu, who was supposed to be emaciated, haggard and tortured in her mind, was not much different from usual.

Even, it's a little better?

"After all, the prince is the prince of a country, so what's wrong with this palace coming to see the prince?" The queen asked a rhetorical question as if she was provocative, but pointed to the food box in Ye's hand, "This palace is here to send the prince on the road!" ”

Xiang Yeqi really didn't understand where the queen came from, and she could still joke about Bo Zhaoxu without changing her face. She asked herself to bring the food box, not because she was worried that Bo Zhaoxu would not be able to eat and dress warmly in the dungeon, she simply wanted to have one more "prop" to make this play more realistic.

A full three boxes of food boxes can really afford the word hearty, isn't this exactly the same as the last severed head meal before sending the prisoner on the road?

Bo Zhaoxu didn't know whether he was willing to cooperate with the queen to continue the play, or if he really accepted such a result with no justice at all, and responded indifferently: "As long as the queen can fulfill her promise, this king is willing to agree with this result." ”

"The Fourth Highness is so courageous, since the palace has agreed, it is natural to do what he says, and there is no other word." The queen was afraid that Bo Zhaoxu would not misunderstand, so she threw the jade bracelet in her hand to the ground without hesitation, and stared at Ye Qi coldly, "What are you still stupid about?" Do it. ”

Xiang Yeqi pinched his throat and replied "yes", then put the food box on the ground, took out a knife from it, and "sharpened the knife" to Bo Zhaoxu.

She really wanted to tease Bo Zhaoxu, who had been very dull in the past few days, but she had something important to do, so she brushed up her sleeves to the night, endured the pain, and made a small cut with the tip of the knife.

The knife fell to the ground in response, and Xiang Yeqi was deeply stunned, and through the layers of veils of the hood, she could feel the worry in Bo Zhaoxu's eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

It was inconvenient for him to question loudly, but he was also confused by concern.

If it weren't for the confusion, how could he snatch the short dagger in Xiang Ye's hand and throw it to the ground anxiously.

Xiang Yeqi did not rush to answer, but the queen frowned first, exclaimed with exaggerated acting skills, and said loudly to the somewhat distracted jailer: "There are assassins in this dungeon!" ”

The two jailers stood up from their chairs, and they were clearly only a few steps away, and they even trotted all the way to the queen's side, showing concern: "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" ”

The queen pointed to the knife that fell to the ground, and showed the wound to the night, and complained sharply: "I don't know what is coming in front of me, like an assassin, and I don't know if he came to assassinate anyone, or to rob the prison, before the palace could ask someone to subdue him, he fled first!" ”

The jailer scratched his head, and when he heard that this was a troublesome errand, he couldn't help but refuse: "Queen Mother, this is ...... Didn't the subordinates see any Assassins? The dungeon is strictly guarded, no one should be so daring! ”

"What? Then you are saying that this palace is wrong? The queen put pressure on the two of them without waves, "Could it be that the palace will make a joke about this matter and make fun of you?" ”

"You say this...... Naturally, it is even more unlikely. ”

The jailer smiled flatteringly, after all, it was the queen who opened his mouth, and they couldn't prevaricate any longer, and after bowing to the queen, they called for someone to arrest the assassin who didn't exist.

"What does the queen mean?"

Bo Zhaoxu's expression was no longer as calm as Fang Cai, all his attention was focused on the wound that should not exist on the wrist of Xiang Yeqi, and the conversation that should have been smooth became Bo Zhaoxu's question to the queen because he was touched to the bottom line: "If the queen just wants to break up these people, this king has his own way, why should you consider this method?" ”

It was only by relying on the absence of jailers in the dungeon to monitor him that he dared to protect Xiang Yeqi in his arms so calmly, and quickly cut a hostile dividing line with the queen.
