After coming out of Yukado. Ouyang Ying was still immersed in Xiao Ziling's words. She didn't expect it. Even Meng Hongyu's favorite Xiao Ziling. It turned out to be just a hostage in the hands of the emperor. If it is really as Xiao Ziling said. So. The fate between Xiao Ziling and Meng Hongyu. It was the result of an ulterior conspiracy.

Maybe. Meng Hongyu later gradually discovered the beauty of Xiao Ziling. Also in love with her. However. His original motive and purpose were still pierced by Xiao Ziling. Xiao Ziling has always been obsessed with him. Thereupon. The two are wary of each other. Careful.

Ay. Maybe. This is the so-called bad fate. It's like between her and Meng Hongye. However. Who can know between Xiao Ziling and Meng Hongyu. What's next is the story. What will be the ending in the end?

Ouyang Ying knows. The current Xiao Ziling is not happy at all. Or rather. Had a very happy life. Because of love. Xiao Ziling is not happy. Because I saw through love. She was happy again. Now she's. Plain as a chrysanthemum. Proud. Not afraid of wind and rain. Not afraid of frost and snow bullying.

However. Xiao Ziling is too strong and stubborn. She has no fear. Never succumb to Meng Hongyu's authority. There are many times. She was rude in front of the Queen Mother. It's just disrespectful. Though. Ouyang Ying occasionally can't get used to Xiao Ziling's maverick. However. In my heart, I secretly admired her courage to resist authority.

Ouyang Ying felt that compared to Xiao Ziling. I'm just an insignificant ant. Crawling hard in the red dust. But he never climbed out of the man's palm. In spite of oneself. In the dark. Ouyang Ying seemed to see his dream from Xiao Ziling. A dream of rebellion against everything and independence. Maybe. Because of this. She involuntarily agreed to help Xiao Ziling.

The next day. Ouyang Ying really took Xinmin to Cining Palace. I've been raising Xinmin for a while. The days are long. She found that the child had brought her a lot of convenience. Like what. To see the emperor has more opportunities. There are more excuses to see the Queen Mother.

Arrived at Cining Palace. I learned that the Queen Mother was copying scriptures in the study. Ouyang Ying happily went to the study. Because she often goes in and out of Cining Palace. The Queen Mother also treated her very well. Therefore, the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to stop more. Whatever she wants.

Stand at the door of the study. Ouyang Ying saw the Queen Mother move her desk to the window. Copying scriptures in the warm sun. A furnace of agarwood is burning in the upper left corner of the table. Smoke curling. Wisps. I saw that the Queen Mother was concentrating on copying the scriptures with her head down. Ouyang Ying suddenly remembered Lin Yueyao's death. I don't know. If the Queen Mother knew the cause of Lin Yueyao's death. Will there still be such a state of mind to copy the scriptures idly?

Ouyang Ying suddenly couldn't bear it. I feel as if I'm a little sorry for the Queen Mother. Because she lived up to her trust in herself. concealed Lin Yueyao's death. But if you tell the Queen Mother about Lin Yueyao's death at this time. The Queen Mother will definitely not be able to stand the blow. ay

The Queen Mother is indulging in the quiet world of Buddhist scriptures. But suddenly I heard a sigh. She looked up. Seeing Ouyang Yingzheng standing at the door in a daze, looking at himself. The Queen Mother did not stop the pen in her hand. Continue to calmly pick up the pen and lick the ink. said indifferently to Ouyang Ying: "It's almost the New Year. How can I learn how to learn from others, sighing. It's not like you at all."

Ouyang Ying came to his senses at this time. Hurry up and go into the house. smiled and said, "The concubine is rude. Look at the Queen Mother full of devotion to copy the scriptures. The concubines did not dare to disturb. He waited outside the door. I unexpectedly remembered yesterday's events. I can't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. I don't want to disturb the Queen Mother."

"Yesterday. Something made you feel emotional." The Queen Mother finally finished writing a chapter. Put down the pen.

The palace maid beside her carefully held a copper basin of warm water. The Queen Mother washed her hands. Aunt Shuwen hurriedly handed over a hand towel for her to dry her hands. Washed hands. The Queen Mother instructed the palace ladies to put the chessboard on the table. Beckoned Ouyang Ying to sit down. Say, "Let's talk while we play chess."

A while. The chessboard is on the table. Ouyang Ying sat down opposite the Queen Mother. Then he said, "Yesterday. Xiao promised to bring a letter. said that he wanted to see the concubine......" said this. Ouyang Ying raised his head to look at the Queen Mother. I saw that her face was not unusual. Thereupon. Ouyang Ying continued: "The concubine and Xiao promised to have little contact. I've never been familiar with it. What will she have to see her concubines? The concubine wondered in her heart. So I went to Yukado......"

The Queen Mother gently put down a chess piece. Slightly bowed. Asked Ouyang Ying: "What did she say to you?"

"The concubine is here today for this matter." Ouyang Ying also lightly dropped a chess piece. He frowned slightly. So much has happened lately. She became confused. Net talking nonsense."

"What nonsense." The Queen Mother asked curiously.

Ouyang Ying pretended to be full of doubts and worries and said, "She said that she wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the emperor is going to tour the south. Therefore, she asked her concubine to intercede with the emperor on her behalf."

"She wants to follow the emperor up and down the Yangtze River." The Queen Mother asked. But why did you come to intercede?"

"She's grounded now. I'm afraid that because I can't see the emperor, I came to ask the concubines to help intercede. I guess she thought the concubines saw the emperor every day." Ouyang Ying said sadly. To know. She hadn't seen Meng Hongyu for many days.

Since Xiao Ziling's "private meeting" and his royal saffron incident. Meng Hongyu was much more depressed. Now he is diligent in managing the state and going to court on time. However. He couldn't let go of it completely. The heart is strong. Build a city of sorrow. Lock Xiao Ziling inside. It's been a long time since he's been to the harem and pampered any of his concubines. But he often spends the night in his own Qiankun Palace.

"How long have you not seen the emperor?" The Queen Mother heard Ouyang Ying's sadness. He asked casually.

"It's going to be seven or eight days." Hearing the Queen Mother's words seemed to be off topic. Ouyang Ying hurriedly pulled the topic back again. He sighed heavily. Yu Yu said. That Xiao agreed. It's more pitiful than we are." How long has it been since she saw Meng Hongyu?

"The poor will have something to hate." The Queen Mother pouted. Said with disdain. She's reaping the consequences."

Ouyang Ying knew that the Queen Mother was still haunted by Xiao Ziling's rudeness. Therefore I dare not say much else. Hurriedly said the matter of Xiao Ziling's entrustment as soon as possible: "Yesterday. She said something strange. Let the concubine come and tell the queen mother: 'Don't forget why you let her enter the palace in the first place. Make her a concubine.'"

The Queen Mother was bowing her head and carefully examining the chess game. After hearing Ouyang Ying's words, he suddenly raised his head. There was a hint of anger on his face. She looked at Ouyang Ying. He asked coldly, "Did she really say that?" Original. The Queen Mother thought that Xiao Ziling would not know about it. Mended. Xiao Ziling had already known about the conspiracy of their mother and son. knew that he had let her into the palace in the first place in order to trap her in the palace as a hostage.

"Hmph." The Queen Mother snorted coldly. Apparently angry. Said unhappily. This Xiao Ziling. It's smart. It's a pity. Being clever is mistaken by being smart."

Look at the Queen Mother's angry expression and these angry words. Ouyang Ying has a bottom in his heart: It seems. What Xiao Ziling said is true. Original. Xiao Ziling is the same as her. It's also a chess piece. It is also one of the abacus in the hearts of the queen mother and the emperor. So. Aren't she and Xiao Ziling suffering from the same disease?

That being said. Ouyang Ying still pretended not to know. Without thinking, he asked, "The concubine is also curious."

The words are not finished yet. was interrupted by the Queen Mother: "Something. . . Even curious. Don't say it."

Ouyang Ying hurriedly swallowed the unspoken words. Open with a pair of big watery eyes. looked at the Queen Mother in a daze. After three or five seconds. She whispered, "The concubine knows."

"I won't play this game today. You go back first. Mourning family tired. I want to take a break." The Queen Mother issued an expulsion order to Ouyang Ying. Seemingly. In order to help Xiao Ziling. Ouyang Ying really made the Queen Mother angry. But. Ouyang Ying didn't regret it. At least. She learned another secret. I also knew the ruthlessness of Meng Hongyu and the Queen Mother's mother and son.

Even Xiao Ziling, a "hostage" who has been in the palace for many years, has never been trusted by Meng Hongyu. Not only was she beaten into the cold palace. was even beaten by Meng Hongyu with saffron. Siu Ziling's misfortune. In the final analysis, it is Meng Hongyu's suspicion and ruthlessness.

If it weren't for Meng Hongyu's suspicion. How could he be so easily deceived by the little tricks of white as frost. believed in the "private relationship" between Xiao Ziling and Zhan Zhan, if it weren't for Meng Hongyu's suspicion. How can you not believe in Xiao Ziling's innocence. Imprison her in the Yukado. How could he personally send saffron to Xiao Ziling. Lay down the fetus in her womb

Xiao Ziling, who has received Meng Hongyu's true love. And it's still down to this point. And what about her. What kind of ending will she Ouyang Ying have? Come to think of it. Ouyang Ying couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart. I don't know where I'm going. Do you regret it? Once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea. From then on, Xiao Lang was a passerby. It's a passerby.

Since the Queen Mother has issued an expulsion order. Ouyang Ying left with the nurse and Xinmin in a playful manner. It's just that my heart is inexplicably sad. Feel sorry for Xiao Ziling. Feel sorry for yourself too. Anyway. She has brought Xiao Ziling's words to . finally helped Xiao Ziling, who Zhan Zhan loved deeply. It can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Zhan Zhan. From now on. She doesn't owe Zhan Zhan anymore. However. She owes Meng Hongye a favor. It was paid off from the moment she stepped into the palace. It still hasn't been paid off.

Ouyang Yingyi went out. The Queen Mother fell into deep thought: Since. Xiao Ziling already knew the reason why she was allowed to enter the palace in the first place. Why do you pretend not to know? Endure to this day. Now. She "deliberately" asked Ouyang Ying to bring her such a sentence. What is the purpose? Ouyang Ying said. Xiao Ziling wanted to go to Jiangnan with Meng Hongyu......

…… That's it. It must be so. The mourners finally understood.

The Queen Mother suddenly understood Xiao Ziling's intentions.
