In the end, Mrs. Yan was given death by Emperor Chengji, and then announced that she died of a sudden illness.

After all, Mrs. Yan is not the sister of Zhenguo, they are just willing to help each other because they have the same interests; And now, if he gives up Mrs. Yan and can exchange the Yan family for being safe and sound, Zhenguo Gong will naturally give up Mrs. Yan without hesitation.

Emperor Cheng Ji had already transferred Xie Jun, the king of Qi, out of the royal capital in advance and asked him to patrol the army outside, and when he came back, I am afraid he would have to change into sackcloth.

But Emperor Cheng Ji still went to see Mrs. Yan for the last time, which can be regarded as the end of the only trace of friendship left after so many years.

Mrs. Yan changed into the dress that Emperor Cheng Ji liked to see her wear, hoping that Emperor Cheng Ji would be able to take care of the friendship for many years and not be angry with her children because of her sins.

"Your Majesty, counting it up, the concubine has been by your side for twenty-five years." Mrs. Yan opened her mouth and said, "The concubine knows that the concubine is just a woman forcibly given to Your Majesty by the Yan family from beginning to end, and Your Majesty has never taken the concubine to heart. The concubine is not as noble as Empress Xuan, nor as beautiful and moving as Mrs. Chu; But thanks to His Majesty's love, the concubine has held the power of the harem for many years, but the concubine has lived up to His Majesty's trust. ”

Emperor Cheng Ji narrowed his eyes slightly: "I still remember, when I first saw you, you were still a simple woman. ”

Mrs. Yan smiled bitterly with tears: "Does Your Majesty really think that there will be simple women in the big family?" Ning Ji, Mrs. Chu, does Your Majesty think that they have not done evil things? In fact, no one has done any less bad things than others. ”

"I know that there is nothing in this palace that can be hidden from me, but I just pretend not to know. I can leave anything else alone, but you shouldn't do anything to the Ning family's daughter; This time, the Ning family was burdened with such a thing, they would not give up easily, and I had to give them an explanation. Emperor Cheng Ji said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty thinks that just a concubine has the ability to design King Jin and Ning Yanyue together?" Mrs. Yan asked Emperor Cheng Ji rhetorically.

"Who else?" Emperor Cheng Ji was shocked.

"The concubine only knows that there has always been a guide to the concubine to do this, but the concubine doesn't know who he is." Madame Yan bowed her head; Now she has figured it out, it turns out that she has just been used like a fool, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly at that time.

Emperor Chengji's expression was gloomy, and he only said, "I will investigate." ”

Mrs. Yan smiled at this time: "Your Majesty, what the concubine does is a concubine's ghost, and Wen Yuan doesn't know anything." ”

Emperor Cheng Ji pondered for a moment before nodding: "You are you, Wen Yuan is Wen Yuan." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Yan felt a little relieved in her heart.

"Is there anything else you'd like to talk to me?" Emperor Cheng Ji suddenly asked again.

Mrs. Yan was stunned, then smiled: "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to die to understand, it should be that when Miss Xu Zhao hanged herself, His Majesty had already had murderous intent towards the concubine, but His Majesty has not yet found a serious name to dispose of the concubine." Seeing that Emperor Cheng Ji was angry when she mentioned Xu Zhao, she continued, "Your Majesty thinks that the concubine forced Miss Xu Zhao to hang herself?" Since Miss Xu Zhao was sent to Hongfu Temple by His Majesty, the concubine has already guessed the identity of Miss Xu Zhao, how dare she touch her again? ”

Hearing her say this, Emperor Cheng Ji couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "It's really not you?" ”

Mrs. Yan only smiled: "Your Majesty, compared to the concubine, I'm afraid that Sister Chu is more jealous of Miss Xu Zhao, right?" ”

What she said is true or false, but it is not entirely untrue.

"Chu Qing?" Emperor Chengji frowned.

As long as the seeds of doubt are planted, even if Xu Zhao's matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Chu, it will always have something to do with it in the end.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Chu have been fighting for more than 20 years, and now even if she dies, she will still pull Mrs. Chu into this whirlpool.

"Has Your Majesty ever really loved Chu Qing?" Mrs. Yan asked Emperor Cheng Ji with a desolate expression.

"Never." Emperor Chengji lowered his eyes and said.

"Then the concubine will rest assured." Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

She has never regretted it in her life, everything from beginning to end was her own choice, and now she has no complaints about others at all when she ends up like this.

When Emperor Chengji returned to Hanyuan Palace, there was news that Mrs. Yan had died.

He pondered for a long time, and then asked people to go to the Zhenguo Mansion, the Qi Palace, and the Guanghua Princess Mansion to report the funeral, and asked Mrs. Yan to hold a funeral.

In fact, everyone was already mentally prepared, so they were not surprised by Mrs. Yan's "death"; Xie Jun, the king of Qi, heard the news of Mrs. Yan's death when he was patrolling outside, so he hurried back to the royal capital to mourn.

Mrs. Yan is dead, and Mrs. Chu should be the happiest.

But in fact, Mrs. Chu did not feel happy; The reason why Mrs. Yan had to die this time also made her uneasy.

And I heard that Emperor Cheng Ji went to see Mrs. Yan for the last time, she didn't know what Mrs. Yan would say to Emperor Cheng Ji, but in any case, such a result would be very unfavorable for her. Mrs. Yan died of her guilt, but Emperor Cheng Ji was willing to see her again, which means that Emperor Cheng Ji did have a friendship with Mrs. Yan; It's a pity that the cause this time is because of the girl of the Ning family, otherwise Emperor Cheng Ji is likely to be the result of being careless.

"You go and send a message to my sister-in-law and let her go to the palace." The more Mrs. Chu thought about it, the more she felt uneasy, so she instructed the palace maids beside her.

Since Princess Zhaohua left a letter and ran away, there has been no news so far; And the child Xie Xuan, the king of Jin, has not let her worry about it since she was a child, and she is not good at talking to Xie Xuan about some things at this time. The only way to do this is to discuss with the sister-in-law of the Chu family.

But at Mrs. Yan's funeral, Mrs. Chu made a look of sisterly affection, although in the eyes of others, it was just a cat crying mouse and fake compassion.

Ning Ji did not hide her perfunctory at all, but she came over to pay respects very pretended and went back to the palace.

Now in her opinion, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Chu are inseparable from that matter, and neither of them is a good person.

On the way back to the palace, her confidant palace people whispered: "Looking at Mrs. Chu so sad, I don't know how good the relationship between her and Mrs. Yan is." In the past 20 years, the two ladies have fought openly and secretly, which has really made the palace lively. ”

Ning Ji covered her lips with a silk handkerchief: "It's just the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox." ”

Over the years, there are only four people in the harem, and Empress Xuan and Mrs. Yan have gone, and only she and Mrs. Chu who entered the palace together are left, and I don't know what to do in the future.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Chu have indeed fought for more than 20 years, but now Mrs. Yan has died inexplicably, and Mrs. Chu doesn't know what she thinks in her heart.

Over the years, Ning Ji has also been accustomed to being a good old man who doesn't do anything, and she has been left and right between Yan Chu and the two; But now the fight between the two of them has affected her, an outsider, which makes it impossible for her to be this deaf and dumb person who doesn't care.
