Yan Rongling's hand, which had always been calm, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

How did Ye Thirteen find out about these things? These things are already old things, is there still a need to turn them out?

Does he know that this matter is about the former eight princes, as well as Princess Liuyue and the concubine, if it is known by the Empress Dowager Zhong, it will be an uproar.

Perhaps, it will also attract suspicion and affect the mother-son relationship between the father and the queen mother.

"Come on, arrange the secret guard, I want to leave the palace."

Xiao Chengzi hurriedly knelt down with a "poof", and said: "Master, you are injured now, and there have always been people who have tried to assassinate you, so you can't leave the palace!" ”

Yan Rongling pressed his hands on the desk, the two thoughts in his mind pulled at each other, and finally sat down slowly.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengzi hurriedly brought the golden crow three-legged incense burner in the corner, and Yan Rongling threw the letter sent by Ye Shisan, seeing it turn into ashes.

"Xiao Chengzi, you go out of the palace and tell Ye Shisan, I will try my best to investigate. It's just that after many years, there may not be any clues, so he suspended the investigation. ”

"Yes, master."

And the nearest Kunning Palace has been shrouded in dark clouds, and only when the Nine Emperor Princes come over, will they feel the sunny sky.

"Queen Mother, it's been cold lately, why don't you add a cloak?"

Queen Jiang looked at Yan Qihuo with a smile, tidied up his placket, and stroked the four-clawed python on the brocade robe. smiled and said: "The palace didn't go out again, where is it cold?" Besides, you wear so little, you're embarrassed to come to Hongu. ”

"Erchen is a person who practices martial arts, how can the queen mother be compared? I heard that someone assassinated the sixth brother yesterday, and some people poisoned the sixth brother's food. Queen Mother, people's words are terrible, don't act rashly. ”

Yan Qihuo was restless when he received the news, and he must rush over to ask in person, hoping that it was not the queen mother who made a move.

Empress Jiang's phoenix eyes condensed slightly, and her curved fingers tapped on the arm. The long red gold tortoiseshell armor, striking the small leaf red sandalwood, made a crisp sound, and it was clearly audible in the empty hall.

"Xiao Jiu, it's not the hand of this palace. You also have to be careful recently, this is someone deliberately framing this palace, and when you and Yan Rongling have an accident, he can sit back and reap the benefits. ”

Yan Qihuo saw that her mother denied it, and she didn't know for a while, whether she should believe her mother or not.

After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "Queen Mother, don't lie to me." You and my mother and son are related to honor and disgrace, no matter who has an accident, the other person can't get out of it. ”

At this moment, Queen Jiang almost felt that she was being seen through by her son, and the mask that had been in place for many years was at her fingertips, and there was no abnormality at all.

"Xiao Jiu, don't worry, now there are only you and Yan Rongling in the palace, and the queen mother will not do stupid things and cheapen others."

Yan Qihuo, who was guaranteed by the queen mother, only then retired and left, recently his schoolwork has been very full, and there is really no time to delay here in the queen mother.

Seeing Yan Qihuo leave, Empress Jiang's eyes darkened, and then summoned Yao Meng.

"No matter what method you use in this palace, you must kill Yan Rongling, the sooner the better! As for the palace guards, you go to Ah Da, and he will arrange for you to go to the Yinghua Palace. If you fail, you will kill yourself. ”

After Empress Jiang said that, she waited for Yao Meng to answer, but she waited for a while, and she didn't wait for Yao Meng to answer.

Raising her eyes and glaring at the past, Empress Jiang found that Yao Meng was standing silently in the hall, as if she didn't want to obey the order. And there was ridicule in her eyes, as if she was laughing at herself.

Empress Jiang was furious: "Yao Meng! Are you going to rebel against Hongu? ”

"Queen Mother, the person who saved me at the beginning was Jiang Cheng, in order to repay this kindness, after I entered the palace over the years, I have dealt with many unsightly things for the Queen Mother. Now that Jiang Cheng is dead, my kindness has also been repaid. The queen wants me to die in vain again, and I will forgive my fate. ”

Yao Meng stood in the hall, her back was straight, and her unruly and unruly appearance made Queen Jiang and Yao Qi a little trance.

Empress Jiang came back to her senses and laughed angrily: "Yaomeng, you are looking for death!" ”

"Anyway, it's all death, rather than being hacked to death with a knife like Yuan Jie, at least I can choose an easier way to die. Queen, are you sure you want me to die? Or is it a master and servant, and you let me go? ”

It's a threat!

Queen Jiang thought of Yaomeng's skills and the things she had done for herself, and she was a little hesitant for a while.

Yao Qi hurriedly explained: "Yao Meng, the queen has treated you well over the years. You are already a palace maid in the books, and you have not reached the age of leaving the palace, how can you leave the palace? ”

Yao Meng stretched out his hands, and instead of performing the palace salute as usual, he hugged his fists and performed a river and lake salute.

"Niangniang, I am a person who keeps my promises, as long as you give me a waist card to go out of the palace, I will naturally die outside in public, get out with fake death, and I will never affect Niangniang."

Empress Jiang's face was gloomy and uncertain, and she didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he said quietly: "Are you sure that you are going to die?" You know the palace so well, as long as you hit it well, you can get out of the way. ”

Yao Meng looked at Empress Jiang calmly and said seriously: "Niangniang, the six princes are surrounded by secret guards given by the emperor, if you want to assassinate him, it is difficult to ascend to the sky." The Nine Emperors are a blessed master, and the mother must not fold his blessings. ”

When Queen Jiang heard this, her face changed again and again, and finally her face turned cold, and her phoenix eyes were cold.

"Yaomeng, what if this palace doesn't let you go? Are you going to fight your way out of the palace? ”

Yao Meng smiled sadly and said resolutely: "I swore to Jiang Cheng that I would always be loyal to my mother, and I would never do anything to my mother." If the mother doesn't want me to leave the palace, please give me a red or white silk. ”

Empress Jiang saw that Yaomeng had made up her mind, and it was absolutely impossible for her to let her out of the palace, so she had to let her die in front of her.

"Yao Period, go and bring the Bliss Pill and give Yao Meng a ride."

Yao Qi and Yao Meng have also been together for many years, and they couldn't help but persuade: "Yao Meng, since you are not afraid of death, why don't you help Niangniang anymore?" In the name of loyalty? ”

Yaomeng raised her hand and looked at it, and said with an indifferent smile: "I've been tired all these years, and I don't want to kill again." Yao period, why don't you give me a ride? ”

Yao Qi had nothing to say, so he had to silently take the Bliss Pill and put it in Yao Meng's hand.

Yaomeng's expression was calm, she took the Bliss Pill, swallowed it without hesitation, and then slowly fell to the ground and died quietly.

Empress Jiang witnessed Yaomeng commit suicide by taking poison, so she was relieved. He said in disgust: "You go find two proper people and throw her into the well." ”

Yao Qi looked at Yao Meng's corpse with a depressed expression, cheered up and responded: "The slave will do it immediately." ”

After walking out two steps, Yao Qi suddenly turned around and knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Niangniang, please think twice about the assassination of the six princes." ”

Empress Jiang said angrily: "Do you want to die too? ”

Yao Qi was silent, only until Empress Jiang spoke: "Go out!" You just have to act according to the instructions of this palace, and this palace acts, and it is not your turn to put your beak! ”

"Yes, slave and maid retire!"
