"Never."

Listening to these two words, I don't know why, Cangzi Meng suddenly remembered something.

It's still a hateful person, or that nightmare past.

She asked the person if he had ever loved herself, and the person was also a simple two words: "Never." ”

She seemed to understand Ning Wanxin's bitterness a little.

The heart loves, and avoids oneself, and only those who empathize with it will understand that kind of torment.

But fortunately, she has turned back, but Ning Wanxin has been trapped in it and can't extricate herself.

"Oh, it seems that she is also a chess piece in the hands of the prince, and it is up to the prince to decide where she falls."

Subconsciously, what she meant was that no matter Ning Wanxin or Cangzi Meng, the chess pieces in her hands could not escape the fate of falling after all.

Yan Mingjiu replied: "The entanglement between the Ning family and the royal family has already begun in the previous generation, and this king is just making a final end and ending the endless disputes. ”

Cangzimeng raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and said with a headache: "Forget it, I'm a little tired, please go back." ”

The eviction order has been issued, and Yan Mingjiu has no reason to stay.

"Well, you have a good rest, and if you have something, you will be asked to find this king."

Dai Yin outside had not left, and after hearing that Yan Mingjiu was about to leave, she hurriedly raised her feet and made it look like she had just arrived.

He silently saluted Yan Mingjiu and did not say any honorifics.

Yan Mingjiu didn't care, and walked out as if he hadn't seen it.

As soon as he left, Dai Yin hurriedly walked to Cangzi Meng's side.

"Niangniang, get up and get something to eat."

Cangzi dreamed of a mouthful of warm date porridge and asked, "How long have you been standing at the door?" She could feel it from the time she approached.

Dai Yin was dumbfounded, and sure enough, she still couldn't hide Cangzi Meng.

"Not for a while."

"You don't want to see the prince?"

This is something that can be seen without asking, as soon as Cangzi Meng asked like this, Dai Yin raised her mouth and her face was full of depression.

"The mother felt it, and asked the slave what she was doing."

"Why?"

"If it weren't for the Hades King, how could Niangniang get into trouble with Ning Wanxin, and how could she be injured again and again. Even if the mother doesn't take care of her body, the slave is still distressed when she sees it. ”

The more Dai Yin spoke, the more aggrieved she became, until she finally cried and tried her best to hide the tears that were about to flow.

Cangzimeng was quite helpless, and he couldn't bear to continue to blame, so he had to comfort: "The concubine has not already paid the price, and the injury of this palace is not in vain." The prince has his own bureau to go, don't blame him. ”

When these words reached Dai Yin's ears, the taste changed: "Hmph, when is this time when the mother is still speaking for him." ”

In Dai Yin's eyes, even if Yan Mingjiu was gentle with Cangzi Meng, there must be some kind of conspiracy behind it.

There is no man in this world who does not want to reciprocate, just like Jiang Li to Cangzi Meng, just like Yan Mingjiu to Ning Wanxin. They all wear hypocritical masks, specializing in seducing the hearts of ignorant girls.

But Dai Yin forgot something in a trance, and she didn't notice it herself at this time, but it was only after a long, long time, when she had begun to gradually get used to someone, that she had an epiphany.

Ning Wanxin was involved in the collapse of the Ning family, and even at the last moment, that cold face kept flashing in her mind.

The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in the world: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, hatred for a long time, and cannot be asked for or forgotten.

The most bitter thing is that you can't ask for it, and you can't forget it.

I'd rather be happy in this life, I'm afraid I won't get you at all...

She whispered with a vacant gaze, and raised her hand to gently bring the candle flame in her hand close to the window curtain.

"Finally, I can make a decision on my own."

Finally, you can do something on your own will, without thinking about the consequences, without thinking about whether others will care.

She is the emperor's woman, and she can't live without the cold palace for the rest of her life, what's the point of living? It's better to get rid of it earlier.

The fire in the cold palace shocked the entire palace, and they originally thought that Ning Wanxin's general trend was gone, and the people who had been friends with her in the past have not avoided her since she entered the cold palace, and even the henchmen and palace maids have not seen a shadow anymore.

When someone found out, the room Ning Wanxin was in was about to turn to ashes.

In the queen's bedroom, the little eunuch who felt in a hurry almost fell because of the panic.

The Emperor was enjoying the Queen's massage with his eyes closed, his fair and slender fingers gently rubbing his tight temples, and his neatly trimmed nails were painted with red Kodan.

The picture of the two together is like a loving couple.

Hearing the movement, the emperor opened his eyes in displeasure, with a slight laziness in his eyes. Before he could speak, he heard the little eunuch say: "The emperor is not good, the cold palace is on fire." ”

"What did you say?" The emperor subconsciously slapped the table and stood up, making the queen standing behind him stumble.

"Back to the emperor, the cold palace is on fire, and the house where Concubine Ning Guifei is has been burned down." Even though the little eunuch was shocked by the emperor's reaction, he still pretended to be calm and repeated it in some detail.

"Rubbish! I told you to look after her, that's how you do things? ”

The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......"

The queen hurriedly stepped forward to hold the emperor's arm, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is whether Ning Wanxin's life is still alive, and who set this fire, the concubine will accompany you to the cold palace to take a look." ”

The emperor waved his hand, shook his head and said indifferently: "No need, Ning Wanxin's woman tried to seduce the Hades King to no avail, and I thought that I didn't know, and there was a chance that she put this fire herself." "He actually understands everything......

He knew that Ning Wanxin was in love with the Hades King, and he also knew that she had been secretly making trouble and hurting Cangzi Mengmian. It's just that I originally thought that Ning Wanxin knew how to be in a sense of proportion, and she wouldn't go overboard for the benefit of the Ning family.

But he angered the Hades, and the emperor naturally would not continue to turn a blind eye.

The queen was stunned, then reacted and nodded: "What does the emperor mean?" ”

The emperor put his hands behind his back, facing the direction of the cold palace, as if he could see the spreading fire through the palace wall, and after exhaling heavily, he said: "Hurry up and put out the fire, don't let the fire spread to other places." Queen, you go to Uncle Huang's place tomorrow to take a look at the status of the imperial aunt's injuries, and by the way, inform Ning Wanxin that she has committed suicide by setting fire to herself in shame. ”

The queen hooked the corners of her mouth, and her extremely gentle appearance made it even more difficult to see her emotions. "The concubines obey the order, the emperor will take care of everything, and the concubines over there in the cold palace will also be dealt with."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "The Ning family has also worked hard to love the concubine." As he spoke, he took the queen's hands and said with emotion: "Over the years, you and I are still the most harmonious." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is the emperor's wife, Ximu's mother of the country, since everything is the emperor and the country, how can there be discord." The queen responded to the emperor with a light smile, and in the eyes of the palace maids serving next to her, the emperor and the queen were a match made in heaven. And only the queen herself understands that it is nothing more than that of a husband and wife who have been married for many years......

The emperor shook his head and replied: "Empress, I really don't understand you. ”

The queen is a gentle woman, and this one has never changed. is also a woman who will not be jealous, no matter who the emperor goes to at night, she will ignore a few concubines recently.

He tried to figure it out, but to no avail. He really doesn't understand his queen......

The queen replied with a smile: "It's enough for the concubines to understand the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor doesn't need to understand anyone." ”

The harem is full of beauties, and there will always be young and beautiful people to please the emperor.

She is a queen, and she never expects the man next to her to care much about herself, let alone understand anything.

Many of the palace maids and eunuchs who participated in the firefighting were already tired, and they did their best to rescue and finally extinguish the fire before it spread to other palaces.

And the room where Ning Wanxin was was only a few pieces of wreckage, and the charred corpse inside was filled with the smell of fireworks.

"Niangniang, what to do with Concubine Ning's body?"

The queen was sitting upright in the gazebo at this time, holding a delicate pair of gold scissors in her hand, pruning the branches in the pot. Listening to the words of the palace maid, the queen did not stop the movements in her hands, as if she heard a trivial matter, with the opening of the scissors, a small branch fell into the basin, and the queen slowly returned: "Send it back to the Ning family, let her soul return to her hometown, and by the way, bring the things prepared by the palace with her." ”

"Yes."

When the queen went to the Hades Palace, Cangzimeng's injury had not yet healed, and Dai Yin didn't want the queen to see Cangzimeng, but because of her identity, Dai Yin couldn't refuse.

I had to say to the queen outside the door: "Queen Mother, my concubine has been a little weaker recently, and it is inconvenient to see guests." ”

Before the queen could speak, the palace maid behind her said proudly: "Bold! You slave and maid didn't salute when you saw the queen's mother. ”

Dai Yin replied without cowardice: "This is not your right to speak. Her eyes are very firm, and the aura that comes from within her body is even more powerful, not at all like the temperament that a servant girl should have.

"You ......"

The palace maid wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by the queen.

"Shut up, she's right, there's really no place for you here."

The queen's calm tone made Dai Yin feel that this woman was not simple.

They are all people who have been in the deep palace for a long time, and Dai Yin's thoughts can also be seen by the queen. The head of her household was a good slave, so she said: "This girl, this palace just wants to come to visit the imperial aunt, and by the way, inform me that there is a fire in the cold palace, and the culprit who hurt the imperial aunt has died, and the girl does not need to worry about it anymore." ”

Dai Yin's heart was shocked, but the surface did not change, "The slave will inform the side concubine, the queen mother, please go back." ”

The queen didn't say anything more, but after leaving Nanyuan, the palace maid asked unwillingly: "Niangniang, that maid is so disrespectful to you, why do you want to let her go so easily?" ”

"The imperial aunt is the elder of the palace, and besides, the emperor asked the palace to come here just to see if the emperor's anger has disappeared."

"Huh?" The palace maid was confused by what the queen said, she only heard that the emperor asked the queen to come to visit the concubine of Hades, and told Ning Wanxin that she was dead, and there was nothing else. "But we haven't even seen the face of Hades now."

After indicating their intentions, the housekeeper took them directly to Nanyuan, and did not see the Hades.

The queen replied lightly: "If Uncle Huang is still angry, will we still have a chance to enter his palace?"

"It's a slave and a slave who is ignorant." The palace maid understood this time, and sure enough, just like the emperor said, the queen is the person who understands him best.

"Let's go, let's go visit Prime Minister Ning."
