Xue Yi saw Liu Nong's panic, and now she could only take a risk.

"Liu Nong, can you go see someone on my behalf tonight?" Xue Yi made up her mind that if Liu Nong really had the intention to deceive her, she could only consider herself unlucky.

Liu Nong had long seen Xue Yi's suspicion of her, but she had been holding back, and today she also saw Xue Yi's hesitation, she said the same, and she didn't swear to show her loyalty, if a person doubts a person, no amount of explanation is superfluous, and sometimes, silence is the best explanation.

Only action and time will tell.

Liu Nong nodded: "Where to meet?" ”

Liu Nong didn't ask who it was or what it was, she understood that if Xue Yi wanted to tell her, she didn't have to wait for her to ask, and if Xue Yi didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't get an answer if she asked.

Regarding Liu Nong's attitude, Xue Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Xue Yi took off the acacia hosta from her bun and handed it to Liu Nong, and explained with a solemn face: "Liu Nong, if you go to the peach blossom forest in the northwest corner of Shouning Palace tonight, someone will come to look for you, you just need to ask this person if my father was imprisoned in the palace by the Queen Mother." ”

Liu Nong took the hairpin and nodded: "The slave will go." ”

"It's still early, you go to Shouning Palace first to invite the emperor to come, and say that I have a headache." Xue Yi waved her hand and lay down.

Liu Nong didn't understand Xue Yi's intentions, and asked, "Niangniang, ....... this?"

Xue Yiwan smiled: "The emperor will definitely not come to my Chenhui Garden, but you can go to the Peach Blossom Forest in a grand manner." ”

Liunon agreed.

At dinner, the cold frost that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared, and Xue only ate a few mouthfuls casually as usual and said that she was not feeling well and went to bed early.

Liu Nong came to the Queen Mother's Shouning Palace, as Xue Yi expected, neither the emperor nor the Queen Mother summoned her, and the mother who passed the message asked her to go to the side hall of Shouning Palace to wait, Liu Nong knew that there was only a bluestone road separated from the peach blossom forest.

She was waiting quietly.

In Shouning Palace, the Queen Mother and Emperor Cheng looked at each other, as if they were waiting for something.

Gao Sicheng, the chief of the guard with a knife, walked in and bowed his knees to say goodbye: "See the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose, knock on the long live." ”

Emperor Cheng didn't speak, according to the rules of etiquette, Gao Sicheng should first meet Emperor Cheng and then meet the Queen Mother, he dared to do this to show that he didn't put Emperor Cheng in his eyes at all! This should be a sin of great disrespect.

Emperor Cheng is waiting, waiting for the Queen Mother's statement. ＥＴ

"Calm down, General Gao, the emperor has some suspicions about the disappearance of Concubine Rou's body, you can tell the emperor what you know in detail." The Queen Mother's face was very calm, and she seemed to be talking about other people's affairs.

Gao Sicheng was not allowed to speak, and Emperor Cheng said coldly: "I don't want to hear what others say, I just want to hear what the Queen Mother says!" ”

The Queen Mother stared at Emperor Cheng and smiled sadly: "Your Majesty, now in the eyes of the emperor, is the mourning family just the Queen Mother?!" ”

Emperor Cheng was silent for a moment and said: "I don't want to do this, but the Queen Mother shouldn't force me, if Concubine Rou is not dead, why doesn't the Queen Mother hand Concubine Rou over to me?" ”

"After all, you still don't believe in the mourning family, the mourning family has never been to see Concubine Rou! Although the mourning family is very sad, the mourning family is even more angry with her, and she should not do her best to provoke the emperor's top people. "The eyes of the Queen Mother have never left the eyes of Emperor Cheng from beginning to end.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?! At this time, facing the Queen Mother, Emperor Cheng began to doubt his judgment. However, in this palace, except for the Queen Mother and Concubine Rou, who cares about her life and death?! Could it be her!

Emperor Cheng suddenly remembered Concubine Xiu, he knew the origin and details of this woman, and he also knew that she was too unwilling.

Thinking of this, Emperor Cheng's tone softened: "I shouldn't doubt the queen mother, please ask the queen mother to confess." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for Gao Sicheng and the palace maids to step back.

"Alas....... What does the emperor think in his heart, the mourning family knows, the mourning family doesn't blame you, it's the mourning family that shouldn't want to drive Concubine Xue out of the palace. Without waiting for Emperor Cheng to ask, the Queen Mother admitted to framing Xue Yi.

Emperor Cheng got off the donkey and pleaded for King Yu: "Since the queen mother knows that there is innocence between King Yu and Concubine Xue, do you ask the queen mother to put King Yu back in the palace?" ”

At this time, there were only two people in the palace, the Queen Mother and Emperor Cheng, and the Queen Mother looked at Emperor Cheng with deep meaning and nodded: "Your Majesty, the mourning family knows that you have a deep brotherhood and are a person who values love and righteousness, but some people who stay in this world will become a scourge sooner or later, why doesn't the emperor use the hand of the mourning family to sweep away the threat of his day?" ”

Emperor Cheng's body trembled, and he watched the Queen Mother's eyes get deeper and deeper.

As if she didn't notice it, the Queen Mother continued: "Leaving King Yu behind will be a scourge sooner or later, although he didn't admit that he had a personal affair with Concubine Xue, but this is her personal belonging. ”

The Empress Dowager handed a white brocade to Emperor Cheng.

Emperor Cheng slowly opened it, and the white brocade was embroidered with a snow character, and Emperor Cheng recognized that this brocade was lost by Xueyi.

Emperor Cheng was silent, and after a while, he slowly stood up and walked to the window, his voice was a little ethereal: "Queen Mother, I will handle this matter well, I believe that King Yu will know how to restrain himself with this lesson." ”

The Queen Mother stood up and smiled at the lonely and tall back of Emperor Cheng: "The emperor has such a mind and courage, why should an outsider in the mourning family be difficult for King Yu, but the mourning family has a saying that it is easy for the tiger to return to the mountain, if someone uses King Yu's life experience to make a fuss in the future, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to kill him again." ”

The Empress Dowager seems to have intended to induce Emperor Cheng to kill King Yu.

Emperor Cheng just asked, "I don't know when I will be able to meet King Yu." ”

"You can take him away now." The Queen Mother gently slapped her hand twice, and the picture screen of the partition automatically closed, revealing King Yu's body.

It turned out that King Yu had been sitting in the picture screen, and he heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Emperor Cheng just now, and Emperor Cheng secretly said in his heart: The Queen Mother is so vicious, if he agreed to kill King Yu just now, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not agree, her purpose is nothing more than to want their brothers to turn against each other.

Emperor Cheng understood that the Queen Mother already knew his secret, but she must not have strong evidence, otherwise she would have coerced him to be an emperor, Emperor Cheng took a deep look at the Queen Mother, he had never found that the Queen Mother was such a scheming person.

, Emperor Cheng glanced at the carved railing of Shouning Palace, and smiled: "With the wisdom and wisdom of the queen mother, I have been wronged by living in this Shouning Palace, and it is time for me to consider moving the queen mother's bedroom to the Yongqin Palace!" ”

The Queen Mother greeted Emperor Cheng's swarthy eyes and smiled back: "The emperor thinks twice, the palace of diligence is easy to enter but difficult to get out." ”

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, Emperor Cheng raised his hand, stared at the Queen Mother, and said to King Yu: "King Yu, although Shouning Palace is warm, it is not a place for you to stay for a long time, and you will not go with me!" ”

"Yes, Lord's Order." King Yu staggered to his feet, walked to Emperor Cheng, bent down and bent his knees to pay homage, Emperor Cheng didn't seem to care about the Queen Mother at this time, held King Yu's arms with both hands, and said: "My own brother, why bother to make this big gift, I think the Queen Mother won't blame you, right?" Queen mother. ”

Emperor Cheng deliberately bit the word queen mother.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "Naturally, the things that the emperor doesn't care about never cares about." ”

The emperor walked out of Shouning Palace with King Yu in his arms, and only then did he go out of the palace gate, and King Yu stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground.

Emperor Cheng looked at King Yu nervously: "How are you?" Is it okay? ”

King Yu's handsome face was a little pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he looked at Emperor Cheng and smiled miserably: "In the past, the body and bones of the younger brother were much better than when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be so useless." ”

Emperor Cheng didn't say anything more, and bent down to carry King Yu on his back.

Obviously, King Yu didn't expect Emperor Cheng to carry him on his back, and he was struggling to come down: "Your Majesty, if you can't help it, if you let others see what kind of system you have become." ”

Emperor Cheng vigorously put King Yu on his back: "Don't move!" ”

King Yu suddenly stopped moving, and honestly lay on Emperor Cheng's back.

"You are weak and sick when you are young, but you are not honest, you always climb the rockery secretly, and you don't know what attracts you so much on the rockery, and you always let you fall from the rockery, and you also lose your life, and you are only injured a few times." Emperor Cheng's voice was a little more emotional in the quiet night.

King Yu sniffed and held back the tears in the corners of his eyes: "Do you still remember what you remember?" Do you know what I was doing on the rockery back then? ”

"It's not to look at the sky outside, your heart has never been in the palace." Emperor Cheng smiled so warmly, his eyes were ethereal, and he seemed to recall something happy.

King Yu looked at Emperor Cheng in surprise, and tears fell on Emperor Cheng's neck.

"He always calls himself a manly husband, and he is still the same, and a boy of such a big age sheds tears at every turn." Emperor Cheng grabbed King Yu with one hand and handed Xue Yi's Jinpa to him with the other.

"Second Emperor Brother......." King Yu choked.

"You like her? When did you meet? Emperor Cheng suddenly asked.

"Actually, we knew each other in the dungeon of the palace at the beginning, but at that time, the younger brother didn't know that she was the second imperial sister-in-law, and she also knew that the younger brother was locked in the dungeon by the imperial brother. At that time, we were in harmony with poetry, or we didn't say anything, she stroked the piano and I played the flute. That's when I'm happiest....... "King Yu seems to have returned to the days of the dungeon in the palace, and if time could be turned back, he would rather be imprisoned in the dungeon forever by the imperial brother and be that stranger forever."

It's just that there is no if in this world, and you can't go back to the past.

Emperor Cheng was silent.

"Second Emperor Brother, the younger brother will not see her again in the future, really not, please believe the younger brother." King Yu didn't want to hurt the feelings between his brothers, although he possessed his own name and identity, but just now in the Queen Mother's Shouning Palace, he always defended himself, unwilling to kill himself, for the sake of this royal brother, he was willing to give up everything.

"No, you can come to her anytime in the future, I believe you."
