When I looked at Ha Baoyin before, I felt that she was a pampered Nanban princess, and her open-minded temperament on the grassland was all visible to her.

Perhaps no one would have thought that gloom and sadness would be linked to this girl.

"Do you all think I'm just a carefree princess who doesn't know anything?"

Seeing Li Shenlan's surprised expression, Ha Baoyin naturally understood what she was thinking. It's not the first time she's seen such an expression.

"That's because I have to pretend to be like that, everyone thinks that the queen mother is the most noble woman in the Southern Barbarians, and no one will think how broken she is behind her brilliance.

I was only six years old when I first saw my father beat my mother, and that was by no means the first time he had beaten someone. The whip had barbed spines on it, and sometimes it was stained with salt water. Isn't it very similar to the torture of your Central Plains? ”

Speaking of this, Ha Baoyin smiled bitterly, or she had been smiling bitterly all along, but this time because of the careful recollection, her eyes were filled with tears.

Li Shenlan asked herself how hard she was, at least her childhood was bright and happy, looking at Ha Baoyin like that, how could she express pity in her heart? And the thing has happened, all Li Shenlan can do is to put her hand on her hand, trying to pass the sincere residual warmth of her palm into Ha Baoyin's heart.

"My father beat her like that, but she didn't say a word, she was in pain, but she couldn't even scream. I was terrified, and my father kept beating and scolding her and forcing her to cry out and beg him, as if that would make the beast feel better.

Because I was afraid, I hid outside and made a sound, and naturally my father who was strong in martial arts heard it, and the queen mother was afraid that he would implicate me, and when he turned to look at me, she finally let out a crying scream, in exchange for more violent beatings, only the wild beast's unbridled laughter. ”

I don't know why Ha Baoyin's body suddenly shook when she said this, just like the scene of the year reappeared in front of her eyes again.

"Bao Yin...... It's all gone. Li Shenlan persuaded softly.

But in exchange, it was Ha Baoyin's frightened tears, she was crying more and more fiercely and had already begun to twitch, Li Shenlan leaned forward and hugged the fragile woman in her arms.

"I don't like the name, Baoyin Baoyin, it's a blessing in our words, but I never felt a blessing around me since I knew that my mother was beaten.

Later......"

Li Shenlan spent an afternoon in the Habaoyin House, listening to this pathetic woman tell the sorrow of the first half of her life.

Knowing what kind of attitude his father had towards his mother, Hakoye gradually became contemptuous of the poor woman.

From time to time, Hakoye would rush to the queen's palace when he was in a bad mood, scolding the queen for being a slut or scolding her by picking up things at will.

"The queen mother's body will always be scarred, the light one is blue and purple, and the heavier one is a lot of bloody wounds."

Ha Baoyin was already crying when she said this, but she was also terrified when she felt sorry for her mother. She is afraid that she will be like her mother in the future, living a life that is better than death in front of others. And such fear, on the day when the Nanban queen committed suicide, broke out to the extreme.

"When I went back that day, I drugged my mother as usual, but found that she had no new injuries except for a few slaps in the face. I was secretly rejoicing in my heart, thinking that the queen mother's life would gradually get better in the future, but I found that her crazy water rushed against my body. She said that the kindness given to her by the gods had defiled her and that she would never see the sun again.

I don't understand what the queen mother meant at that time, the queen mother was a little insane after being bullied by her father and brother. I didn't take it to heart until the next day, when she died. ”

A sharp blade plunged straight into her heart, how sad and yearning for death must be for people to choose such a way of death.

"It wasn't until I was packing up her belongings that I found out the truth of the matter."

The Nanban queen left a letter for her daughter, a letter to expose her dirt to the world. And all he wants is to hope that his daughter can not follow her own old path.

"The letter told me plainly that my brute brother had defiled his mother when he was drunk that day. The queen mother begged him desperately, but he was like a crazy wolf, and he couldn't see anything in his eyes except for intercourse.

And the queen mother paved the way for me before she died, and she used her broken body to buy a doctor. She drove me crazy in her mourning consciousness, and the doctor would tell them that my nerves had been affected by me, and that I was no different from an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

Only in this way will my two animal relatives not have any thoughts about me, after all, once people lower themselves to the bottom, everything will be much smoother. ”

Fortunately, the poor mother's method did work, and the second year after Ha Baoyin pretended to be stupid, he received the love of the whole clan. No one doesn't love this "silly child", and it is precisely because of this that the two of them have no way to start for fear that others will find out.

And the reason why Ha Baoyin wanted to marry Yin Chen at the beginning was because she thought that Yin Chen was the most powerful person in the world, and marrying him would not only be far away from Nanban, but also would not be so tired of living.

But she didn't expect that Yin Chen didn't agree to kiss, and even rejected herself in public.

And everything that rests, everyone knows.

Yin Jingya and Yin Quan colluded with each other, and they had Nanban snobbery on the grounds of Ha Baoyin's in-laws.

rebelled and copied his family, and was imprisoned in Beijing.

Everything seems to be encountered, and it seems to be unexpected.

At least the former Ha Baoyin really loved Cheng Wang Yin Quan.

Until she returned to the Lilan Palace, Li Shenlan was still immersed in Ha Baoyin's sadness.

Perhaps it was only until now that Li Shenlan understood what the old people often said. It's a little sad, and even if I can't experience it myself, I still feel unbearable......

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yin Chen still received the news that Li Shenlan sent someone to check on Li Mingjin.

He clearly remembered that he had said the so-called truth under the pretext of the beginning, and obviously Li Shenlan didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Ruozhu is here."

Ruozhu next to the Queen Mother? Since the death of the Queen Mother, she has been staying in the Buddha Hall to chant Buddha, and she has been overtaking the Queen Mother, so why did she come to the door now?

"Why is my aunt here, did the emperor still have any wills before her death?"

Ruozhu nodded, but he didn't tell him immediately, but looked around and didn't even let go of the beams in the dark. The meaning of this is very clear, and the next words are not only not heard by the palace people, but even the secret guards with Yin Chen cannot be touched.

Yin Chen waved his hand, and when there were only two people left, Ruozhu slowly opened his mouth.

"The queen mother's deathbed edict, he is the concubine of Rilan, but whenever she is pregnant, the emperor will not hesitate to beat it."

Concise and to the point, Yin Chen stared at Ruozhu for a long time without speaking.

"Auntie knows that I have never liked others to get involved in my harem."

"The emperor should also know that this is what you promised the Queen Mother early on, not to mention that the Queen Mother is no one else, everything is for Daqi."

Ruozhu didn't let it at all, if he Yin Chen was still the master of Ruozhu's hand.

"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, Huang Eniang thought about dealing with Shengping back then, didn't she also carefully lay out for a long time before finding a so-called Jianghu operator?"

In fact, Yin Chen knew in his heart that Li Shenlan, a child, could not be kept. The imperial doctor only said that the month was too young to see anything, but he also admitted that there is a certain truth in the folk saying, such as "sour and spicy girl".

But even he didn't know why, and he didn't seem to want to do it right away.

"The emperor himself knows it in his heart, but it depends on whether you want it or not."

"You are presumptuous!"

However, Yin Chen's anger obviously had no effect. Ruozhu still stood there indifferently, just looking straight at Yin Chen without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the queen mother has arranged everything."

"What do you mean?"

Without waiting for Ruozhu to answer, Hou Zhong rushed in in a panic to report that Ha Baoyin of Shengzhai Palace was dead!

"Dead?"

"Yes, I slit my wrists with both hands and bled to death."

Adults are dead, not to mention children.

Yin Chen suddenly thought of something, and looked at Ruozhu like a bayonet, but in exchange for her still indifferent eyes.

When Hou Zhong went out, Yin Chen asked her with a calm face, "Ha Baoyin's matter, is it you?" ”

However, Ruozhu shook his head calmly, and his explanation was flawless.

"The emperor detains the princess of Nanban, and what he wants is to be able to contain Nanban, which is also for the good of Daqi. Since it is for Daqi, we will naturally not go against the emperor. ”

Yin Chen looked at Ruozhu and didn't speak again.

"The emperor should also know in his heart that when the old slave came over, he saw Concubine Lan coming from the direction of Shengzhai Palace, and to put it bluntly, the last person Princess Nanban saw before her death......"

It is Li Shenlan.

Yin Chen raised his head suddenly, the fierceness and disbelief in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Li Shenlan sent someone to investigate Li Mingjin's affairs not long ago, and the spies also reported that Li Yunshan had seen Li Shenlan alone, just one hour before he was assassinated. And before Ha Baoyin died, he also saw Li Shenlan. And the importance of Ha Baoyin to Yin Chen and Daqi, Li Shenlan is also clear.

If it's too much of a coincidence, it's not a coincidence.

"Where are the people of the emperor?"

"If the emperor makes up his mind, the old slave will arrange it for you for a while."

The outside of the house is clearly not early autumn, but the wind blows bitingly.

When the news of Ha Baoyin's suicide reached Li Shenlan's ears, she was really startled, and even the things in her hands fell to the ground.

"How...... How could it be ......"

"Mother, that's not the point. As soon as you came out of Shengzhai Palace with your front foot, Ha Baoyin committed suicide with your back foot......"

Yes, Li Shenlan naturally knows the importance of Ha Baoyin best. Now in the eyes of outsiders, Ha Baoyin's death is closely related to her. So what will Yin Chen think? What will Concubine Xiang think?

Ha Baoyin's death is related to the war ahead, if the Nanban father and son are still more or less worried about Ha Baoyin, then the news of his death at this time reaches their ears, and they are afraid that they will use this excuse to become outlaws. In a sense, the safety of the Zhao family's father and son is a great threat.

"Let's go, go to the Heart Cultivation Palace!"

However, before Li Shenlan left the palace, Yin Chen had already come over. Yin Chen's meaning was very clear, everyone in the palace saw Li Shenlan come out of Shengzhai Palace, but he died in half an hour.

"Concubine Lan, what did you say to Ha Baoyin?"

"Your Majesty?"

This is the first time Yin Chen has called himself Concubine Lan, which is unfamiliar and unfamiliar, and it also makes Li Shenlan finally realize that her husband is not an ordinary person, but the king of a country, and he is like a tiger.

"Where were you going?"

"The concubine wants to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to find you."

"You stay in the Lilan Hall honestly now, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Li Shenlan was shocked by Yin Chen's attitude, his meaning was very clear, and he didn't believe in himself at all.

"Your Majesty, the concubines can stay here. You have already come, and the concubine also said it directly. Ha Baoyin is related to the battle between the two armies, and if the news of his death reaches Nanban, it will definitely make General Zhao even more difficult, so he should immediately not find out what the concubine said to Ha Baoyin, but should block the news as soon as possible......"

Before Li Shenlan finished speaking, Yin Chen had already slammed the teacup on the table. The tea was spilled on the table, and for some reason it was like broken glass, which was difficult to recover.

"Concubine Lan, the harem is not allowed to interfere with politics, and the queen didn't tell you on weekdays?"

Li Shenlan looked at Yin Chen, only to feel that the man in front of her was strange and terrifying, just because he doubted him, he directly changed his face with himself?

"Your Majesty, the concubines are for the Xiang concubine."

Xu saw Li Shenlan's look of disbelief, and Yin Chen finally noticed that his tone was too serious. There was a noticeable easing of the face for the next moment, and then the voice softened.

"Take good care of your body, I am also for your good."

However, after all, he is calling himself "I".

Women are the most detail-oriented, not to mention the current Li Shenlan.

After Yin Chen left, the door of the Lilan Hall was locked from the outside, Li Shenlan looked at the thick palace door, and only felt that she was grounded by Yin Chen. Even though he didn't ask anything, he tried his best to explain.

"...... Why don't you find a way for the slave to find the concubine? ”

Li Shenlan shook her head, Concubine Xiang is already very good if she doesn't find herself to question now, where can she be expected to save herself from fire and water? As for the queen, she is still raising Sheng Ping in the end, this kind of thing can still not trouble her and don't distract her.

"Go and get someone to prepare some paper money, no one will come to my cold palace anymore, Ha Baoyin is a poor person after all, we should let her go smoothly below."

"Yes."

After the harvest went out, Li Shenlan returned to the deepest part of the bedroom and gently blew the bone flute. Luo Bai is always like this, no matter when she needs her the most, she can appear in front of people when she needs her the most.

"Master."

"Go find out who made Ha Baoyin commit suicide, even if Ha Baoyin is sad, she is always an optimistic person, if no one is behind her back, she will never die easily."

"Yes."

Suddenly there was thunder outside the house, and it was going to rain.
