In the Zichen Palace, a wisp of ambergris rose and dissipated in the air.

Emperor Yuanqing sat on the couch weakly, lifeless, as if everything in the world was meaningless to him.

Father-in-law Lu hurriedly brought the meditation tea and said carefully: "Your Majesty, don't think about it so much, take care of the dragon body." ”

Emperor Yuanqing didn't even look at him, he was like wandering out of the world, and only sighed after a long time, and his aftermath dragged on with endless sorrow and annoyance: "Why, after so many years, it is still like this......"

"The emperor has been saying it for so many years, why is he still not used to it?" Father-in-law Lu whispered: "Actually...... It's good like this, the real concubine and the queen mother are safe, and the emperor can occasionally see the real concubine Niangniang, this is already the best result......"

Suddenly, Emperor Yuanqing grabbed something and threw it at Gonggong Lu: "What a fart!" ”

"Lu Wangxi, you dog minion, what do you know? If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut you! Emperor Yuanqing was like a cat with a prickly hair, jumping up and grabbing people, and the frightened Gonggong Lu sat on the ground and begged for mercy again and again.

Fortunately, it was only a pillow that hit him, and he was not injured, but Emperor Yuanqing's excited and irritable appearance obviously touched his reverse scales.

Just when the two of them were in a fuss, and the palace people were all shrunk aside and silent, an indifferent voice sounded on the side: "If the emperor makes trouble again, Jin Se and I will go back." ”

As soon as these words came out, the noise in the hall suddenly stopped, and Emperor Yuanqing raised his hand to smash something, but he also froze in mid-air, and finally stopped and hummed: "That's it, I will spare you, get out." ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie." Father-in-law Lu was like being amnestied, secretly relieved, got up in a hurry, and waited aside.

Emperor Yuanqing's face was very ugly, as if he was crying but trying his best to squeeze out a smile, he looked at Lan Beichen and said, "Lao Jiu, then you help me think about it, what should I do......"

Xia Jinse didn't speak, she also wanted to know what Lan Beichen was going to say.

From what Concubine Zhen said when she was leaving, she roughly guessed that Lan Beichen had been paying attention to the movements of the cold palace over the years under the entrustment of Emperor Yuanqing, so she had helped Concubine Zhen a lot. Then he must know the inside story of this matter, as a bystander, will Lan Beichen have any solution?

The pupils were dark, as unpredictable as a deep pool, Lan Beichen said expressionlessly: "The emperor's family affairs should be handled by the emperor himself, and outsiders are not suitable to interfere." ”

"Where are you an outsider! You are my brother and the son of the Queen Mother, how can you be considered an outsider? ”

Emperor Yuanqing was also anxious, and immediately asked for help: "Lao Jiu, you also saw it just now, the Queen Mother wants to kill Zhenzhen, and Zhenzhen will also force me to kill...... Alas, they are so inferior, what should I do if I am caught in the middle!? ”

Lan Beichen said: "There is no such thing, the emperor can only choose one." ”

"But I don't want to choose one, I want both!" Emperor Yuanqing said eagerly: "Zhenzhen and the Queen Mother, I don't want to lose either of them!" ”

"Desire and ability must match, and the emperor obviously can't do it."

"Uh......"

Emperor Yuanqing was dumbfounded.

But he seemed to be out of the way, and after a pause, he said angrily: "I don't care, I am the emperor, I want both!" Lao Jiu, you tell me, how can Zhenzhen and the queen mother coexist peacefully? You're so smart, there must be a way! ”

Lan Beichen glanced at him, as if he was looking at a fool: "Does the emperor think he is an immortal, or is this king an immortal?" ”

"Either the emperor resurrects the fifty-eight lives of the Song family, or the emperor goes back fifteen years ago to prevent that tragedy from happening, or the emperor changes the obsession of the real concubine or the queen mother and lets them turn hostility into jade silk, but can the emperor do it?"

"How is this possible?" Emperor Yuanqing was almost mad, "I'm not an immortal. ”

"Isn't that the end of it!"

Lan Beichen said coldly: "If you can't do it, you have to face the reality, and you must give it up, otherwise you won't get anything in the end." ”

Before Emperor Yuanqing could say anything, Lan Beichen had already pulled Xia Jinse to stand up: "That's all the words of the minister, the emperor had better make a decision as soon as possible, look at today's events, I'm afraid that the queen mother can't help it." ”

After speaking, he took Xia Jinse's hand, said lightly, 'Brother resigns', turned around and walked out of Zichen Palace.

The sun was warm outside, and Xia Jinse was pulled by Lan Beichen and walked very fast. After a while, Lan Beichen reacted, slowed down, and smiled apologetically at her: "Forgot, are you tired?" Dragged you all the way. ”

Xia Jinse shook his head, it was rare to see that Lan Beichen would also lose his cool: "I'm nothing, but you, you seem to be very upset, are you really worried that something will happen?" ”

Lan Beichen looked ahead, walked slowly, and said: "In the past, the emperor was still measured, and he didn't make such a big fuss, but it was love and love, and nothing happened." But today you also saw that the emperor even said the dissolution of the harem, and the angry queen mother is like this, if it reaches the ears of the courtiers, what do you think? ”

That will naturally cause an uproar and be out of control!

Xia Jinse no longer understands the game in the court, but he also knows that there are several concubines in the harem, and each of them has a good maiden power behind him.

Concubine Yu is the daughter of Lin Kangnian, the head of the household, and Concubine Ning is the niece of the Queen Mother, although her mother's family is not allowed to dictate her relatives because of the Queen Mother, and she is very restrained, but as long as she does not make a mistake, the Queen Mother will not watch her niece be abolished.

Although Concubine Zhen is from an ordinary family, she gave birth to the fifth prince Lan Muxuan, as long as the emperor calms down, just looking at Lan Muxuan's face, it is impossible to do anything to Concubine Zhen!

"Why did the Queen Mother kill the real concubine's family back then?" Xia Jinse asked the biggest question in his mind.

"It's a long story!"

Lan Beichen said: "Fifteen years ago, when my father was still there, it was when my royal brothers competed for the crown prince. The emperor went on a micro-service trip and got acquainted with Song Qiran, who was a martial arts hero at the time, that is, the father of the real concubine. Song Qiran only regarded the emperor as an ordinary rich and noble child, but he had extraordinary bearing and knowledge, and admired him very much, so he introduced his daughter to the emperor. ”

Xia Jinse nodded: "So they fell in love at first sight?" ”

"It was naturally beautiful at the beginning, men and women were good-looking, they admired each other, and the emperor and the real concubine had a good time. But the emperor already had a concubine at that time, that is, the former Xiao family, he wanted to go back to the palace and tell his father that the real concubine was set up as a side concubine, but he was opposed by the queen mother. ”

"Why is the Queen Mother opposed?" Xia Jinse couldn't figure it out, "Even if Song Fan is really a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, it's not that a side concubine can't afford it, right?" ”

"That's where it comes in."

Lan Beichen briefly said to her, "My royal brothers all have their own supporters, and one wrong step may completely lose the position of crown prince, so the queen mother is very vigilant about the Song family that suddenly appeared and sent someone to investigate." turned out to be that the Song family had bad intentions, and they deliberately let the imperial brother know Song Fanzhen in order to achieve ulterior motives. ”

"Does the Song family really have bad intentions?" Hearing this, Xia Jinse also became nervous.

At that time, all kinds of signs proved to be true, so the Queen Mother was resolutely opposed, but the imperial brother insisted on marrying Song Fanzhen, not believing that the Song family had a conspiracy. In order to ensure the safety of the imperial brother and make him die, the Queen Mother sent Long Wei to destroy the Song family. At that time, Song Fan really happened to be with the imperial brother, the imperial brother was desperately protecting, and Long Wei was scrupling, so he didn't kill Song Fanzhen. ”

is so thrilling, the family is ruined, and dozens of lives are dying in front of him, Xia Jinse feels cruel just thinking about it.

Later, after a long time, the imperial brother confirmed that the Song family's affairs were designed by someone, of course, for the position of the crown prince, and the queen mother regretted it a little, but the dead people could no longer live. In order to take revenge, Song Fanzhen endured for many years, deceived the trust of the queen mother, and finally married the imperial brother. On the wedding night, Song Fanzhen failed to assassinate the Queen Mother and was sent to the cold palace until now. ”

Lan Beichen sighed lightly and clenched Xia Jinse's hand: "You probably know what happened later." ”

Xia Jinse nodded, no wonder this is the case, it has been impossible to unravel it for so many years.

Regardless of whether the Song family really has a conspiracy or not, ordinary people can't let go of this blood feud alone. When Song Fanzhen learned that the Song family had been unjustly killed, she naturally wanted to take revenge, which caused an irreconcilable contradiction between her and Emperor Yuanqing.

No wonder Song Fan really wanted to kill the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also hated Song Fan to the core!

"It's so complicated, it seems that this knot can't be untied." Xia Jinse also said helplessly.

It's not smart or not, there are no means to solve it. Who can let go of the enmity of loved ones? But Empress Dowager Zhang's approach at that time was also understandable, in order to protect Emperor Yuanqing, she felt that he was fascinated by women, so she naturally made a decision immediately.

It can only be said that both sides are helpless, bad fate!

The wind blew on his face, cool and comfortable, but Xia Jinse was a little heavy, and suddenly said: "Lan Beichen, if it were you, what would you do?" ”

He turned his head suddenly, his gaze fell on her face, and said firmly: "No if!" If it were me, I wouldn't have let this happen in the first place. I don't think about feelings when I'm in a crisis, and once I do, that's when I have the ability to protect. ”

Lan Beichen moved his hand and hugged Xia Jinse into his arms: "Jinse, we will never have that day, happiness must be in our own hands." ”

Yes, Xia Jinse thought so.

The matter of the harem, after all, it couldn't be concealed, and on the second day, the ministers spoke in the court, asking Emperor Yuanqing to kill the real concubine and correct the harem. Emperor Yuanqing was furious, and several courtiers who entered the speech were angrily reprimanded, and one of the officials actually scolded Emperor Yuanqing for being fascinated by women and was going to die in Daqing.

There was a mess in the court, Emperor Yuanqing brushed his sleeves away, and after Lan Beichen finished speaking, Xia Jinse also felt the seriousness of the matter.

Is it really not going to die?

Fortunately, the second prince and the sixth prince are not out of the house, otherwise they are afraid that it will make a bigger fuss, Xia Jinse thought about it and was in a mess, and he didn't know how to solve it.

In the afternoon, the fifth prince Lan Muxuan came to the Jin Palace, and also mentioned this matter.

"I just came out of the palace and was called by my mother." Lan Muxuan's face is big, he is usually chic and free, and he lives happily, but now he is a little more sad and helpless.

Needless to say, Lan Muxuan and Xia Jinse and Lan Beichen could also guess what he was going to say, but fortunately, Lan Muxuan was quite rational and was not as panicked as Concubine Zhen, and really felt that the emperor was going to dissolve the harem.

After chatting with Lan Beichen for a while, both of them felt that this matter would fade away in half a month at most, and they didn't pay too much attention to it. Xia Jinse listened to the two of them talk about business again, and then she asked Lan Muxuan, how is Xia Yulan doing?

"Haven't you found out about this yet?"

"I'm a little eyebrow-raised, and the evidence is being collected, so I haven't been with Miss Xia much recently." Lan Muxuan was also a little embarrassed when he said this, because of his intention, Xia Yulan took advantage of the situation and posted it, and even made some radical moves, such as ...... Devoted.

Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise he would really be entangled and couldn't run away.

"It's your own volition, don't really shoot yourself in the foot." Xia Jinse smiled.

Fortunately, these troubles have nothing to do with Xia Jinse, what she is most concerned about now is the more than 20 million taels of bets, and as soon as it passes tomorrow, she will collect the money.
