"As for the Yan family before, because of the matter of Yan Qingyu, he had almost left the court, just guarding a title, and the queen mother had already been disheartened by the Yan family, and she would no longer care about the affairs of the Yan family."

Xue Lao was moved by Lu Qingrong's words, but there were doubts in his eyes.

"Then what did you do when you went to Xiangguo Temple this time?"

It can't just be a chat.

Lu Qingrong sighed lightly, "The Queen Mother's body is not as good as before, I'm afraid it's only in the past few months." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind blowing dead branches outside the window, and the atmosphere suddenly became sad.

Xue Lao never thought that the Queen Mother would be dying, why hadn't he heard of such a big thing before, could it be that the Queen Mother deliberately concealed her illness, but what was the purpose of the Queen Mother's doing?

The queen mother did not inform the emperor, but sent someone to lead her granddaughter to Xiangguo Temple, what did she want?

"The Queen Mother sent someone to inform me of the past, and said some things, talking about the Jiang family's help to the imperial court back then, and also talking about some unpleasant past, such as the fact that the Queen Mother had a prince before and later died."

The queen mother's prince?

Xue Lao's face changed, and some dusty memories swept over.

At that time, the queen mother had a son-in-law, but it was a pity that the sister-in-law died before he was a minor, and later the queen mother raised the emperor who was still a prince at the time.

Later, he helped the emperor ascend to that position.

Although the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, but it is still very good to the emperor, in the first few years, the court was turbulent, and it was the queen mother who tried her best to stabilize the harem, so that the harem would not be chaotic.

Slowly, the situation gradually stabilized, and the queen mother invited herself to Xiangguo Temple, firstly, to prevent the emperor from suspecting her, and secondly, to protect the Yan family.

Over the years, the queen mother has occasionally returned to the palace, but she never stayed too long, just took a day or two and left, and it is really because of this that the emperor's harem will be managed by the queen in a mess, if the queen mother can sit in the harem, the harem will not be so chaotic.

After all, who called the queen mother not the emperor's biological mother.

Lu Qingrong said to himself.

"Actually, I think the Queen Mother is quite pitiful, so many years of forbearance have not brought good results, if it were me, I would definitely not be reconciled."

"What can you do if you are unwilling, is it possible that the Queen Mother still wants to usurp power?"

When the words fell, Xue Lao's figure was stunned, should it?

If this is really the case, then the Queen Mother is really bold.

However, there are still things that can't be explained, now that the Queen Mother is seriously ill, what's the use of her usurping power at this time?

What can be exchanged for it, besides, how can this usurpation of power be so easy, is there anyone in the Queen Mother?

The more he thought about it, the more solemn Xue Lao's expression became, could it be that the Queen Mother and a certain prince had colluded.

Is it the Six Princes?

Xue Lao thought that he had guessed correctly, and was extremely disappointed with what Lu Qingrong had done, "You are really reckless, now the crown prince and Prince Lian are equal in strength, and the sixth prince is the person with the least chance of winning, even if he escapes power, I am afraid that it will be cheaper than others." ”

The sixth prince is only thirteen years old, and he is only fourteen years old after the New Year, although he is intelligent, he still lacks experience, and he is really far behind the crown prince and Prince Lian.

Even with the support of the Queen Mother, he can't sit in that position.

Xue Lao thought while Lu Qingrong was making tea and pouring water next to him, his movements were unhurried, elegant and calm, and a pair of willow eyebrows were lining more and more brightly in the sun.

Old Xue's face became ugly little by little.

"Grandpa, who said that the Queen Mother wanted the Sixth Prince to sit in that position?"

"Isn't it, otherwise, why would the Queen Mother come to you?"

"It's very simple, the Queen Mother came to me and just said some things from the past, as for what she wants to do, I don't care, I just promised her that the Xuanguo Mansion will not be involved, no matter which side it is, it will not help."

Xue Lao finally understood that this granddaughter was not stupid and thorough.

"Just do whatever you want."

"Grandpa." Lu Qingrong suddenly asked: "The Queen Mother mentioned her child, I always feel that there is a problem in this, do you know how the Queen Mother's child died?" ”

"It was a drop from the lotus pond and his head hit a stone and died, which is pitiful."

"Was it man-made or accidental?"

"At that time, the first emperor sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and found traces of slipping on the stone, and finally thought it was an accident."

Lu Qingrong laughed out loud in disapproval, is it an accident that there are slip marks on this stone?

The methods of the people in this palace are strange, maybe this incident is not an accident at all but man-made?

If it is man-made, then everything is easy to say and explained.

"What the hell is your idea, girl?"

Xue Lao looked at Lu Qingrong's eyes and felt that she was having a bad idea.

"It's nothing, grandpa, I'll go back first."

Lu Qingrong then got up and said goodbye.

Xue Lao looked at Lu Qingrong's back as he left, and shook his head with emotion.

It seems that he is really old.

……

Within two days, the news that the Queen Mother was seriously ill came out of Xiangguo Temple, and several ministers proposed to take the Queen Mother back to the palace to be raised.

The emperor was unwilling, but if he didn't take the queen mother back, I was afraid that he would be charged with unfilial piety.

After all, people's words are terrifying, and even if you are as noble as the emperor, you have to follow the ancient law.

The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day, and the emperor took the concubines of the harem and hundreds of officials to Xiangguo Temple to pick up the queen mother back to the palace.

Also coming back with Concubine Chen

After so many years of not seeing her, Concubine Chen is still the same, without a smile on her face, but she gives people a gentle feeling.

For so many years, the emperor almost forgot about Concubine Chen, recalling that he had such a relationship with Concubine Chen, coupled with the unique temperament of Concubine Chen, the emperor took Concubine Chen's bed on the second day of returning to the palace.

In this way, the wind direction of the harem has changed again, and everyone has said that this concubine will come to run?

But what the truth is about the taste of this, only Concubine Chen herself knows.

What is rare is that there is no queen presiding over the six palaces, and this harem is peaceful and tight.

There is no jealousy, Concubine Shu is still managing official affairs, with the assistance of Concubine Jing on the side, no matter how favored Concubine Chen is, the two concubines seem to be none of their business.

However, it is not difficult to understand that Concubine Shu already has a son and a daughter by her side, and she is in the position of a concubine, in charge of harem affairs.

How can you worry about Concubine Chen, who has been worshipping Buddha in Xiangguo Temple for many years?

As for the possibility that the second prince of Jing Guifei has not ascended the throne, Jing Guifei has also been worshipping Buddha in the palace for so many years, and she has long lost the heart to compete for fame and fortune, so she naturally will not care.

As for the rest of the people in the palace, they either have a low rank or dare not come forward.

Concubine Chen has a stable temperament, there are often beauties in the emperor's harem over the years, but most of them are gorgeous, and by chance there is a person like a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, and she has some love for the emperor, and the emperor loves her very much to nature.
