Qi Xiang Ye, the queen mother sent someone to invite Xiang Ye to go. ”

Ye Tianqing looked down at the things in his hand, he didn't even raise his head, he wasn't in a hurry, at least he wasn't as anxious as that good sister. The initiative, at the moment, is in his hands, not in the hands of the empress.

When Ye Ruoxi put a big cake in front of him, the initiative and the right to speak completely fell into his hands. And he, like the feeling of having everything in his own hands, and not in the hands of someone else.

Perhaps, it was this feeling, the feeling of being infinitely close to the pinnacle of power, that made him agree to Ye Ruoxi's plan without hesitation, abandon the plan that had been planned for many years, and cooperate with the queen.

"Let him go back to the queen mother, and say that the master is busy with official business and has no time to meet the queen mother."

"It's Xiangye."

The person sent by the queen was so depressed that he vomited blood, and he didn't even see the face of the prime minister, so he was sent back.

If this is in someone else's mansion, at least it must be sent far away, and it is impossible not to see him, so send him back. Others, too, don't have the courage and face to dare not see the people sent by the queen.

"Back to the queen's mother, the people of Xiangye said that Xiangye didn't have time to meet Niangniang."

Xi Qinglian paced slowly in the room, at this moment she couldn't see through what her good brother wanted to do. Speaking of which, she and Ye Tianqing were not born to the same mother, but the interests of the two people are combined, and there is more reason for them to be together than their biological brothers and sisters.

The Prime Minister needs her to be the queen in the harem to seek the greatest benefits for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she needs the Xi family to rely on her behind her to ensure her status in the palace, and her son can smoothly inherit the position of the prince, and finally become the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom.

This is her only goal, the emperor is restless, gradually aging and weak, and the position of the prince makes everyone red-eyed.

She always thought that she was the most sure, because she was the queen of the Tanglin Kingdom, and her son was the son-in-law.

"Although there is already a crown prince in the Tanglin Kingdom, Xuanyuan Yan is mentally retarded and a fool, and it is impossible for him to always be in the position of the prince. The emperor will definitely choose another prince to be the prince, and this prince can only be my son! ”

Xi Qinglian closed her eyes slightly, she had been planning for several years, and she couldn't afford to lose, but at the critical moment, she didn't want Ye Tianqing to be there, but there was an accident.

"Looks like I'm going to go and meet my good brother and see what he wants to do."

"Xiangye, someone from the palace wants to see Xiangye."

"Who?"

"Xiangye, my subordinates don't dare to stop it, it is the queen mother who has come in person, and she has already arrived outside the courtyard gate of the study."

"Well, I know, you don't have to stop her, let her in, you guys stand down."

"Yes, Xiangye."

Ye Tianqing sat in place and didn't move, he didn't even raise his head, he knew that Xi Qinglian had walked in alone, but it was

Still looking at the book in my hand.

"Xiangye is really leisurely, and he still has time to read."

Xi Qinglian slowly entered the study, staring at Ye Tianqing with a pair of slightly narrow phoenix eyes.

"I don't know if the queen mother has arrived, the minister has missed the distance, the queen mother, please take a seat."

Ye Tianqing got up slowly, bowed and bowed, without bowing.

Xi Qinglian didn't care, but there was a slight hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, she was the queen, the supreme queen of the Tanglin Kingdom. Even though Ye Tianqing was her brother and her courtier, he should have bowed down when he saw her.

"Brother doesn't have to be formal, I heard that my brother doesn't have time to see me, so I can only come over to see my brother in person."

"The minister doesn't dare to be, there have been a lot of affairs recently, what does the queen have to say, send someone over, how dare you work and come here in person."

"Please don't move my brother's master, I only have to come in person, otherwise if I send someone here, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see your golden face."

"The queen mother is serious, please ask the queen mother to command."

Ye Tianqing smiled and replied indifferently, without the slightest hint of panic.

Xi Qinglian didn't say anything more, provoking Ye Tianqing's patience, she knew very well that at least for a short time, she couldn't do without Ye Tianqing's full support. And Ye Tianqing's thoughts and practices are directly related to whether her son can successfully inherit the position of prince.

"My brother's recent behavior, I'm getting more and more incomprehensible, I don't know what my brother has to say?"

"The queen said this, the minister didn't dare to take it, but it was the queen's mother's behavior that made the minister a little baffled."

Ye Tianqing replied lightly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was revealed from this sentence. He couldn't tolerate the queen attacking Ye Ruoxi again and again and assassinating Ye Ruoxi.

After all, Ye Ruoxi is his daughter-in-law, and she is the person whose wife repeatedly entrusted him before she died, and he promised to protect her safety and happiness.

What do you mean by that? Everything I do, it's for our plan. The elder brother should understand that this is a critical moment, and if the elder brother regenerates other thoughts, it will fall short. ”

"It's good that the queen understands, in that case, why does the queen know nothing about the queen's plans and actions several times?"

A chill flashed in Ye Tianqing's narrow eyes, and Xi Qinglian pondered slightly for a moment and smiled: "Brother, why should I be angry, I did this just to control King Yan's Mansion and test King Yan." I don't mean to hurt Ruoxi, Ruoxi is my own niece, how can I bear to hurt her. ”

"The queen can't bear it, Ruoxi has been killed several times and almost lost her life. If the queen is unintentional, then Tang Yanran pushed Ruoxi into the water, Tang Yanran killed Ruoxi several times, and assassinated, these things should not have happened. ”

Ye Tianqing's tone became cold, and a pair of narrow eyes brought out a heavy chill, staring at Xi Qinglian.

"The queen should not forget, all things

, are not allowed to move Ruoxi. And the queen broke her original promise. What do the people from the Enchanting Hall want to do when they enter the Yan Palace? What do you want to do when you enter Ruoxi's courtyard? Also, the imperial doctor followed the queen's will and personally boiled medicine for Ruoxi every day, how to explain what was added to the medicine? ”

Xi Qinglian's expression showed a slight look of surprise: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Didn't the queen want to tell the minister, don't you know about it? The queen should know that it is very easy for the minister to find out about this matter. ”

"Brother, a lot of things have happened in the government and the opposition recently, and the Yan Wangfu has always been out of control. If you can't control King Yan's Mansion and control King Yan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement the plan. I just want to make the plan work smoothly and nothing else. ”

"You shouldn't be moving."

Ye Tianqing's eyes were cold, Ye Ruoxi was an unbreakable knot in his heart, and he had too much apology and guilt for Ye Ruoxi, so he couldn't watch Ye Ruoxi being assassinated repeatedly, or even watch Ye Ruoxi die.

"I, Ye Tianqing, can't even protect my daughter, it's a joke."

The anger in her tone made Xi Qinglian's heart tremble, she rarely saw Ye Tianqing so angry, always on her indifferent and elegant face, the anger and coldness at this time made her heart palpitate.

"Brother, I am not careful about this matter, why should my brother be so angry. You must know that everything is for the benefit of the Xi family and the interests of the elder brother. ”

"For what? How innocent Ruoxi is, who are you going to deal with, have I ever stopped it? Only Ruoxi, you shouldn't touch her, no matter who wants to harm Ruoxi, if you move Ruoxi, I will make her pay, and you are the same! ”

Xi Qinglian was taken aback, and her face changed slightly: "Could it be that for this reason, my brother is going to change his original plan?" ”

Ye Tianqing didn't speak, the corners of his lips pursed into a cold arc, and he stood in front of the window with his hands down, not looking at Xi Qinglian.

Xi Qinglian pondered for a moment, knowing that she had miscalculated about this matter, she shouldn't be so anxious, and she shouldn't have done it so obviously. That stupid woman, why should she move, she is just a stupid concubine, and she is insignificant to big things. It is unwise to offend Ye Tianqing for this matter, and even lose peace with Ye Tianqing.

"Brother, I lost my mind about this matter, and I shouldn't have tested King Yan through Ruoxi. I apologize to my brother, please don't worry about it anymore, I will never move Ruoxi again in the future, let those things affect her. ”

Xi Qinglian got up and bowed to Ye Tianqing.

Ye Tianqing said coldly: "Queen Mother, the minister can't afford it." ”

"Brother, do you really want to fall out with your sister because of this incident and give up the plan that you have been planning for many years?"

Ye Tianqing suddenly smiled, an elegant and gentle smile, but in Xi Qinglian's eyes, it was so unsettling to her. She knew Ye Tianqing well, and knew that if Ye Tianqing was angry and showed such a smile, even if she was angry, someone would definitely be unlucky.

"My brother is still thinking about it

, hate me for doing this, it seems that only if I kneel down and make amends to my brother, my brother will be willing to calm his anger a little. ”

"The queen said so, how dare the minister be, the queen is the mother of a country, and the minister is just a courtier, how can he bear the queen's kneel."

"So, what does my brother mean?"

"Queen, the minister just thought it through, but in fact, the minister has a lot of choices. And you, Niangniang, have only one choice, so you are not in a hurry. ”

Xi Qinglian gritted her teeth, her silver teeth clenched, and she suddenly understood one thing.

She always thought that Ye Tianqing had no choice but to stand on her side. Because she is the Xi family, the queen, and her son is Ye Tianqing's nephew. Only by making her son the prince and finally ascending the throne can Ye Tianqing get the greatest benefits and power.

However, Ye Tianqing's words suddenly made her understand that Ye Tianqing really has a lot of choices.

Even though those choices were not the best choices, Ye Tianqing was not damaged much. With Ye Tianqing's long-sleeved dancing skills, as well as his power in the government and the opposition in the Tanglin Kingdom, he can continue to sit firmly in the position of the right prime minister, ensuring that for a period of time, the power will be tilted towards the government and the opposition.

No matter who wants to be the prince, he has to pay some price to get Ye Tianqing's support, and after he ascends the throne, it is impossible to leave Ye Tianqing behind.

She has only one choice, the only choice, if her son cannot ascend to the throne, then her future life will be bleak.

Perhaps, she will still be canonized as the Queen Mother, but she is only a nominal Queen Mother. And whether her only son can survive is a serious question. She didn't believe that other princes would allow an emperor's concubine, a powerful contender for the throne, to live.

She lost, and it was her life that had to be paid, as well as the life of her only son.

Ye Tianqing doesn't support her, but he can still support other princes and be in a high position.

Xi Qinglian suddenly lost her momentum, and her original confidence was completely shattered because of Ye Tianqing's words.

"You, do you really want to do that?"

Xi Qinglian stared at Ye Tianqing with an unbelievable gaze, and her heart was upset, it turned out that after many years, even though she was already a queen, in front of him, she would still be confused because of his words.

Xi Qinglian took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, she knew that if she was upset and emotional, it would only make her more passive.

"Why can't I be like this, the emperor favors me very much, I just need to stand on the emperor's side and act in accordance with the emperor's will. And why is the emperor still unwilling to appoint a new prince? You have repeatedly begged the emperor to appoint your son as the prince, why didn't the emperor say anything? ”
