As soon as the war ended, the palace handed out the news: the queen mother was assassinated, and the eldest princess Yunxiu was heartbroken because she was too grief-stricken, so she cried in front of the queen mother's body that day and was buried.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.

Everyone only sighed at the filial piety of the Queen Mother's poor Yunxiu, and no one knew how much was true and how much was false. Originally, he was still blaming the eldest princess for colluding with the rebels, but at this moment, all the blame was naturally put on Yin Quan's head.

In the national temple, Concubine Liang is wearing plain clothes for He'an. As soon as the news from the palace came, she began to pack up her things and enter the palace to cry according to the rules.

But He'an is just a child, where do you know what kind of human accidents. She only knew that the eldest princess had not come back after she left that day, and Concubine Liang was afraid that she would be sad and only told her that the eldest princess had done something wrong and was punished by Yin Chen to go to another place to play.

"Mother, will my aunt come back?"

Concubine Liang paused her hand to tie her belt, and replied in a slightly choked voice: "Yes, your aunt is just going to play, and you can come back when you grow up."

"That's great, He'an can also make delicious snacks for my aunt at that time."

Concubine Liang didn't speak, and quietly led and set up the carriage waiting outside.

In the palace, the queen has been a little tired in the past two days. Yin Chen has been locking himself in the Heart Nourishing Palace since he left the Shoukang Palace with Yunxiu's body on the day he was beaten, and he has not come to kowtow to the funeral in the past few days.

"Niangniang, why don't you go and rest for a while, there are concubines and sisters watching here."

The rules in the palace are that the master must cry regardless of whether he has tears or not, which is considered to be a gift to the master, and it also lets her know her worries.

Li Shenlan and the others honestly have no feelings for the deceased two, but people always have to do a good job in the face. said that she didn't cry or cry, but now the queen's eyes are very swollen, and Li Shenlan is also red, sore and astringent.

The queen got up from the spiritual seat, and looked at the group of fake concubines behind her who were crying so sadly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Just thinking about a nun walking in outside the house, everyone was wondering, and when they looked at it, they found that it was Aunt Ruozhu next to the Queen Mother.

"How did my aunt ......?"

Ruozhu stepped forward and performed a Buddha salute in a proper manner, and then explained: "The Queen Mother instructed before her death to let the poor nun become a monk and spend 7749 days in the Buddhist hall in the palace for her."

"I see, my aunt came here to chant for the Queen Mother?"

The queen doesn't believe in Buddhism, and she doesn't know much about these etiquette rules.

"This time I specially invited the queen mother to go to the Buddhist hall, the queen mother's deathbed entrustment and the rules of etiquette in Buddhism, I want you to go with the emperor, and the blood is excessive."

"It's okay, in this case, Concubine Lan, you two are cooking in this palace, I'll come when I go."

In the Buddhist hall, Yin Chen had already arrived early in the morning, and was kneeling with his hands folded at the moment, as if praying for the blessings of the deceased two.

Ruozhu placed a strand of the Queen Mother's hair in the brazier according to the rules, and then took out a silver needle and motioned for the two to reach out for blood.

In the blink of an eye, two drops of blood had dripped into the strands of hair. Ruozhu stepped forward again and lit three pillars of incense, igniting the strand of hair, saying that having the blood of this dear would make the Queen Mother ascend to Bliss early.

After the ceremony, Ruozhu retreated early, leaving Yin Chen and the queen to kneel in front of the Buddha, quietly and without speaking.

The queen opened her eyes and turned her head quietly, and saw Yin Chen looking at the Buddha above her head with her eyes open. It's dark green right now, and it's obvious that I haven't had a good rest for a long time. There is a circle of stubble around the mouth, which makes people feel haggard at a glance.

"Don't be too sad, your body is important. You've been busy from the start, and it's time to find time to rest. ”

The queen's voice was very soft, and she didn't know whether she was afraid that the sound would disturb the Buddha, or she was afraid that she would make Yin Chen sentimental again by mentioning sad things.

However, Yin Chen didn't speak for a long time, obviously he was by the queen's side, but he didn't seem to hear it. After a long time, he replied lightly: "The queen has been busy with the harem for the past few days, and she is also tired."

"The emperor is serious, and this is also the responsibility of the concubines. The hour was not early, and the concubine went back first. ”

"Is the queen always so cold?"

The queen just got up and walked a few steps, but Yin Chen behind her said this coldly. Outside the words, there is a clear stinky temper. For a while, the queen stood in place and didn't go any further, she understood that Yin Chen lost the two closest women at once, and she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't understand what kind of madness Yin Chen was smoking.

"Sheng Ping is still in the palace, and the concubine has to go back to accompany him."

"The queen is a busy person now, and after an accident for so long, I have never seen you come to the Heart Cultivation Palace to look for me once."

Speaking of which, the queen also lost her temper. Turning around and looking at Yin Chen's back, his tone was not much better.

"What does the emperor mean by this? Sheng Ping's concubine didn't want you to send it at the beginning, and she was sad for many days without telling Shen Lan. As for the emperor, when the Queen Mother Yunxiu was alive, she didn't care much about you, and now that she is gone, what kind of temper are you having here?

Yes, the concubine understands that you feel uncomfortable. But at the beginning, in order to vent your anger, you blamed Wang Jun'er for all your faults, and issued a death order, but she was also to blame. But what's wrong with the concubine, who has been busy for so many days, and in the end she will be ridiculed by you? ”

After several days of ritual worship, the queen was also very haggard. But what made her most chilling was not anything else, but her husband's incomprehension, and even ridiculed and blamed herself.

"You are presumptuous!" Yin Chen shouted loudly, and Queen Rao was startled.

The next moment, Yin Chen stood up and walked in front of the queen, at this time, his originally haggard face was already full of anger, and in the eyes of the queen, everything was just annoyance and anger.

"What, does the emperor think the concubine is wrong? You always do things like this, and you start to regret it when it's too late, but the concubine thinks that if the concubine dies one day, maybe I see you crying in the sky against my coffin, maybe I can be moved! ”

The queen is also short-tempered, and she is so angry that she suddenly speaks without stopping. Yin Chen only felt that he was being despised, and the pride of an emperor made him so angry that he instinctively waved his hand.

The queen was not afraid of being beaten, but her body still subconsciously closed her eyes.

However, that slap did not fall as expected. When he opened his eyes, Yin Chen had gently lowered his hand, looking at the queen's complicated eyes.

"If the emperor has no other orders, the concubines will retire first."

Until the queen came out of the Buddha hall for a long time, Yin Chen had been standing there so fixedly, as if she had been drained.

In Shoukang Palace, not long after the queen left, Concubine Liang came over with He'an. He An obviously hadn't woken up yet, and when he saw the two coffins, he was scared, and he shrank behind Concubine Liang with a blink of his eyes.

"My sister only went back so late yesterday, why did she come so early today, she should rest more."

Li Shenlan greeted him, and when she saw He'an's sleepy appearance, she felt distressed. Thinking that Sheng Ping was also asleep in the side hall on the left and right, he motioned for someone to take He'an to rest.

"The rules are there, where can I sleep peacefully? Besides, he was scared in his heart, and in the morning he said that he had dreamed of something, and he couldn't sleep, so he simply brought it over. ”

"Yes, it's just that we don't have anything, but He'an can't stand it. After all, it's a child, and I'm afraid that I'm very uncomfortable all the time. ”

Concubine Liang nodded, but there was no other way. As he spoke, he stepped forward to burn three pillars of incense, kowtowed to the coffin three times, and then got up again and sat on the side with Li Shenlan and them.

"I haven't told He'an about Yunxiu yet, I just lied to her and said that she went to a distant place to play."

This has always been what Li Shenlan is worried about, and An is still young, where does he know what life and death are. Yun Xiu is at fault again, but she has always loved He'an very much, and if she knows what death is, she is afraid that she will die of sadness.

"By the way, I heard that the emperor has been locking himself in the Heart Cultivation Palace since the incident?"

Li Shenlan nodded and responded: "Yes, until the emperor feels uncomfortable, but it's not a way to go on like this."

"Who's to say it's not, but I don't care, he wants to keep himself as long as he wants."

Concubine Xiang has never cared about Yin Chen, so naturally she doesn't care about his body. But the kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the harem will be delayed if it does not say that the government will be delayed.

"Shen Lan, it's better like this, you will take He'an to the Heart Cultivation Hall to take a look. When the child passes, the emperor will never be gone, and besides, you have been depressed in this environment, so it is more relaxing to go out for a walk. ”

Concubine Xiang also said yes again and again, "That's it, I see that you are very tired today, so it's okay to go out for a walk." There are still me and Concubine Liang here on the left and right, you can just go. ”

Li Shenlan thought for a moment, and then responded.

It is said that she has not seen Yin Chen for a long time, and that day King Cheng rebelled, and later only heard that Yin Chen was injured, but she never saw him, and I don't know how the injury is now.

Outside the palace, the emperor has not been called to the court after the defeat of the king, and Li Yunshan has been locked up at home. He was flustered, and in the end, they all started to fight, and he realized that there was a Yin Jingya in the so-called upper family. Since Yin Chen has never been in court, he still doesn't know if Yin Chen knows that he participated in the rebellion.

"Father, why didn't you even discuss it when you fought in the first place?"

Li Yunhao was also shocked, he hadn't experienced what happened back then, but he also knew that the Li family pushed the Dong family out to protect themselves. And now, Li Yunshan is about to bury his family again.

"The emperor hasn't spoken until now, I'm afraid he doesn't know that we are involved. When the time comes, we just have to pretend that we don't know, especially if the people who know this time are dead, what are we afraid of? ”

Li Yunshan said that although the confidence is not enough, it is better to have confidence than not to have confidence.

"What's more, the Queen Mother is now dead. Speaking of which, this old woman is difficult to deal with from beginning to end, no matter how the emperor says that the ten-year-old registration is just a hairy child, how much ability can he have. The one who leans on this behind is the queen mother. Now that the Queen Mother is dead, we are a little less dangerous. ”

"Is my father so sure that the emperor doesn't have this ability?"

"Before the fall of the Dong family, the matter was already about to be investigated on our heads, but the queen was pregnant with a child. The Queen Mother was too afraid of the dictatorship of her relatives, so she was impatient to destroy the Dong family, which allowed us to retreat.

But now, we have a dragon connection. Even if it's only nominal, Sheng Ping still wants to call me grandpa when he grows up, and we can now be regarded as real relatives of the emperor. Even if it is for Sheng Ping's face, the emperor can't do anything to us easily. ”

Li Yunshan's words not only made Li Yunhao breathe a sigh of relief, but also seemed to be convincing himself.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Shenlan led He'an in.

Along the way, He An knew that he was coming to invite Yin Chen to be very happy. In her consciousness, Yin Chen is the sky, no matter what she wants or what she does wrong, Yin Chen will carry it for her.

"Father!"

He'an's voice was crisp and loud, and Yin Chen, who had been frowning, was not relieved when he heard it at this time.

"What's going on?"

Yin Chen hugged He'an, but his eyes were looking at Li Shenlan. I don't know if it's been a long time since I've seen him, he thinks Li Shenlan is a little fatter. But it stands to reason that these days have been so tossed, and people are thankful that they haven't lost weight.

"He'an was thinking about his father, and Concubine Liang was busy worshipping there, so she asked the concubine to bring it over first."

"What about Shengping? Are you okay? ”

"It's all good, the medicine hasn't been interrupted in the past few days, and I finally haven't had another illness."

Yin Chen nodded, only then did he realize that He'an in his arms had already pursed his mouth, and when he asked, he realized that he had eaten Sheng Ping's vinegar.

"My father is eccentric, and it is easy to return to the palace once, but my father only knows how to care about his sister, and he doesn't ask if he is okay at all."

"You, I know from just looking at the flesh of your body that you have eaten nothing good."

He An chuckled when he heard this, then jumped down and ran to Li Shenlan's side, carefully carrying the soup he brought all the way to Yin Chen.

"This is boiled with An Tong Lan Niangniang, West Lake beef soup, Lan Niangniang said you love to drink."

Yin Chen took it with a smile, saying that he was really a little hungry, so he took a big sip. With just one sip, he knew that this soup must have been boiled by Li Shenlan himself, and the taste was exactly the same as what he had drunk before.

"It's hard work for you."

"It's you!" And Ann angrily called.

Yin Chen was a little helpless, but he still held He'an in his arms and let her hands be idle and flip through the folds on her table.

"Father, the mother said that my aunt went to a far away place, but why is it very sad to mention my aunt to the people in the palace?"

The sudden question made Yin Chen's body instinctively stiffen. He naturally understood why Concubine Liang said this, but he was unprepared and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Father, they all said that my aunt made a mistake."

"Who said that?"

It's really time to sort out the tongue of the harem, and they don't know what to say and what not to say.

"Everyone in the palace said so, father, you used to teach He'an to be humble and tolerant to your younger siblings, but why did your aunt punish her for going far away if she made a mistake? I miss my aunt with Ann......"

"If you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished, haven't you heard that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people?"
