According to the rules of the palace, the death of the queen belongs to the state funeral, and the funeral must be suspended for 7749 days.

During the period of suspension of the spirit, the women at all levels in the capital had to wait at the gate of the palace before dawn every day, and were led in by the funeral eunuchs to cry according to the order, and they could not leave the palace until the key under the palace gate. In general, it is a chore, and only pregnant women can be exempted.

Although Mrs. Qin is the queen's mother and the duchess of Yipinguo, she has no exempt treatment. Of course, she lost her beloved daughter, her heart was like a knife, she only hated herself for not being able to watch out for those little sluts for the queen, she cried sincerely every day, and it was impossible for her to take the initiative to take sick leave.

But just after the first seven days, Princess An suddenly took sick leave.

Even a few sixty or seventy-year-old ladies insisted on kneeling and crying in the palace every day, compared to the young and strong Princess An's move, which was a bit eye-catching.

Good deeds can't help but think that the queen was "concentrating on raising the fetus and having no time to manage the palace" for a few months before her death, and this Princess An seems to be the person behind the scenes in Cining Palace. It's normal to have a discord between the two, but it's stupid to do it so obviously!

Princess An has a special identity, she should have stood in the front row of the woman when she cried, and everyone could see that she was missing, and the matter spread quickly, and even the wives of low-level officials who were not qualified to enter the palace to cry heard about it, and it was naturally impossible for the Qin Mansion of the Guogong Mansion not to know about it.

Mrs. Qin was so angry that when she went back that night, she dropped two tea cups and a large vase, and the room was full of scolding.

"What a Luo, I chose to set up music at this time, don't you think that my son is gone, and this harem is her world?"

Mrs. Qin calmed down and thought about it, but found that something was wrong.

No matter how stupid Princess An is, there is also a queen mother behind her, at this time, will the queen mother sit idly by?

She couldn't help but think of a ridiculous possibility.

let a widowed princess live in the palace for a long time, and also interfered in palace affairs, and finally made a premature birth of a queen and a concubine, and even the queen died, and the emperor had to cover up the truth of the matter......

"No, Your Majesty ...... to Princess An"

Mrs. Qin only felt that the sky was thundering, and her head was splitting, so she hurriedly ordered someone to go to King An's mansion to investigate Princess An, who was said to have moved out of the palace to recuperate.

At this time, Princess An, who was sick in bed, also heard the gossip outside and was smiling bitterly.

Why didn't she want to cry for the past seven hundred and forty-nine days, but who asked His Majesty not to give her this opportunity......

Thinking of the pills that were forced into her throat in Kunxu Palace that day, and her body that was getting weaker and weaker day by day, even the imperial doctor couldn't find out what the problem was, she only felt cold all over her body.

Your Majesty has long known the Queen Mother and her calculations, the confrontation that day was just a showdown, even the Queen Mother was powerless to resist, and now she is confined in Cining Palace, how can her little princess compete with the supreme imperial power.

The plain boy in the prime corner had a sad face, and asked earnestly in front of her bed: "Mother, when will you get better?" ”

Princess An blinked, collected the tears in her eyes, patted the back of the boy's small hand and said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

The only thing she was glad about now was that her son didn't know anything, and His Majesty promised not to involve her family, provided they didn't turn against it.

When it was discovered that Princess An was really seriously ill and strange, Mrs. Qin's anger eased slightly, and her worries about the future of the second prince continued unabated.

Ordinary people have died of their wives, and most of them have to keep filial piety for a year before they remarry. But the Son of Heaven is different from others, even if his father dies, he only keeps 27 days from day to month, not to mention his wife.

The queen went, but this did not affect the draft of the beginning of spring, and maybe there would be ministers who used this as a reason to make the draft more grand, so as to select a new queen to sit in the middle palace.

That Song Zhiwei's family background is humble, even if she can be elected to the palace, it is impossible to ascend to the back seat. The second concubine Shuxian is more likely, but if the identity of the girl is poked out, the situation is not certain!

Whether it is Qin Zhongguang or the emperor, they must be willing to let this new "Qin family girl" ascend to the throne, it is the best of both worlds for them.

But what will happen to her infant grandson?

As long as she thought of her grandson calling Song Zhiwei's mother, Mrs. Qin was so angry that the Seven Buddhas ascended to heaven, and she couldn't wait to stab him to death with a knife!

"Yes, she hasn't entered the palace yet, and she still has a chance...... Just find Su Dazhuang to do it......"

When Mrs. Qin made up her mind, Zhi Wei was playing with a small handful of wheat seeds of slightly different shapes and sizes under the oil lamp.

She wore her hair loose, wearing only a middle coat, and a jacket over her shoulders, dressed as she was ready to sleep.

She was the only one in the house, and everyone else was driven outside.

She touched her fingers on the wheat seeds, and she didn't know what she was saying, and as she muttered, she picked out a dozen of them and set them aside, and eagerly picked up the rest of the wheat seeds with two short sticks, and approached the candle flame to make it look like it was about to be roasted.

When Huo Yanzhi came in through the window, what he saw was the strange scene of a beautiful woman grabbing wheat seeds and playing with fire under the lamp.

"What are you doing here?" He asked curiously.

Zhi Wei was startled by him, and when she didn't pay attention, the wheat seed in her hand just fell into the center of the candle, and a burst of green smoke floated out.

At the same time, a piercing scream rang in her ears.

"Which bastard turtle grandson is disturbing Lao Tzu's hibernation? Eat if you want to eat, peel the skin and cramp, Lao Tzu has never been afraid! ”

Zhi Wei's face twitched, and the anxiety that was originally caused by seeing His Majesty was driven away a lot by the gag words of this wheat seed.

She hurriedly picked up the wheat seed, blew it, and put it back on the table, ignoring its complaints, and only bowed her head to Huo Yanzhi.

"It's already dark at night, how could Your Majesty suddenly come to the Humble House?"

She asked politely, but she had a vague suspicion in her heart.

She doesn't know how His Majesty's martial arts are, but it's not so good that she can fly off the wall, to say that he made such a play without the assistance of Jiang Xue and others, she could eat the candle under her nose raw!

Huo Yanzhi looked at her and said quietly: "It's too cold in the palace, come out to get warm." ”

Zhi Wei almost suspected that her ears were broken, and the Qiande Palace with a earth dragon would be colder than outside the palace?

She leaned sideways slightly: "Your Majesty, can you allow the slave maid to groom a little?" ”

Zhi Wei's tone was restrained, but her body was tense, her head hung and her waist was hunched, and she didn't intend to stand up straight at all.

"Before me, there is no need to be called a slave or maid."

Zhi Wei is as good as flowing: "The people's daughters are not well-dressed, and it is not suitable to face the saints, if Your Majesty can give the people's daughters a little time to dress, the people's daughters are grateful." ”

Huo Yanzhi seemed to realize this at this point, turned around uncomfortably, listening to the sound of clothes rustling behind him, and his heart tickled as if he had been scratched by feathers.

But as soon as he thought of the queen who had lost her breath in the Changchun Palace, he didn't have any thoughts.

"Your Majesty, it's okay." Zhi Wei's calm, slightly cowardly voice came.

Huo Yanzhi turned around and looked, Zhi Wei's clothes were not messy in a hurry, obviously well-trained, unlike ordinary official ladies, who couldn't even wear clothes without maids. It's just that I didn't have time to comb my long hair, so I had to wear it as usual, which had a different style.

"Are you used to staying at home?"

"It's okay, but I can't see my mother, and I can't inquire about it, and the people are a little worried."

Huo Yanzhi said her thoughts coldly: "Do you want to beg me to let you go out of Beijing to find someone?" ”

Zhi Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the laugh lines on Huo Yanzhi's mouth, which quickly became dim.

"Since Your Majesty refuses to agree, why do you have to ask knowingly?"

With things on his mind, Huo Yanzhi didn't have the heart to tease the people of Xiaogong in the past, and told his arrangements straightforwardly.

Knowing that His Majesty had sent someone out of Beijing to find her mother, Zhi Wei felt a little blocked in her heart.

She sighed: "This is a family affair of the people's daughter, why should Your Majesty do this?" ”

Huo Yanzhi's sword eyebrows raised slightly: "Sooner or later, they are all family, why can't it be like this?" ”

Zhi Wei's face slowly climbed into a pink glow, she clasped her hands, and lowered her eyes a little uneasily, and the eyelashes fluttered several times before returning to normal.

"Your Majesty, the thoughts of the people's daughters are still the same, and entering the palace is not what the people's daughters want......"

She thought that her words would anger His Majesty, but the other party only looked at her quietly, without any sign of anger, and did not intend to speak.

Zhi Wei could only stubbornly continue: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, sitting on three thousand beauties in the harem, what kind of beauty do you want, the folk girl is just a skin that is slightly more pleasing to the eye, but youth is fleeting, at most it will be unsightly in a few years, and Your Majesty will have more and fresher beauties to see......"

The corners of Huo Yanzhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he finally raised his hand to signal her to stop talking.

But he didn't refute Zhi Wei's words, nor did he swear how he would treat her well, but he suddenly mentioned another thing.

"Do you remember the king in Heaven's Strangers?"

Zhi Wei was stunned: "Your Majesty is saying that the king who kills a new queen every night?" ”

Huo Yanzhi nodded.

Zhi Wei swallowed with difficulty: "Remember." ”

"Do you think I'll become like him?"

Zhiwei was a little confused, "Naturally not." Not to mention that Your Majesty is not such a cruel person, even our national law of Daqi cannot allow the Son of Heaven to be so unreasonable, right? What's more, Your Majesty doesn't need to do this, could it be a lady......"

Speaking of this, she instantly shut up, speculating wildly about which lady cuckolded His Majesty, she really didn't want to live.

"You think like the king. You girl, sometimes I think it's a waste for you to be a daughter......"

Huo Yanzhi looked at her a little strangely, and returned to the topic just now: "I may not be able to kill a woman a day, but it may not be much better." In the story, the daughter of the prime minister's family can invite herself into the palace for the sake of the women of the whole country not to suffer again, don't you want to come forward and benefit Daqi? ”

Zhi Wei can now be sure that the emperor's trickery is fooling herself.

She was a little embarrassed and was about to drive people away, but Huo Yanzhi didn't look at her anymore, and paced over by herself, stretching out her head to look at the wheat grains she had been playing.

"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, but I am in the company of wheat seeds, I have never seen a woman as down-to-earth as you."

Zhi Wei held her breath in her heart, and her tone became teasing.

"If Your Majesty likes it, those girls in the Imperial Village are very happy to enter the palace to accompany Your Majesty, and say some interesting things about loosening the soil and fertilizing in Your Majesty's ear every day!"

She specially accentuated her tone when she heard the word funny, and Huo Yanzhi smiled again, although it was only a small smile.

"If I want to listen to these things, it is enough for you to say them alone."
