Inside the Princess's house, in front of the sickbed.

Madame Qin was sitting on the edge of the bed.

In her hand, she held a white jade cup in her own hand, serving the decoction one by one, and her expression and movements were very dedicated.

"Sister, I'm here to announce the decree in the palace today."

The Princess's

The eyes of the person on the couch were chaotic and shrewd, she raised her face and looked at the person in front of her in a daze, her voice was old, as if she had suffered a serious illness, and it sounded vicissitudes and hoarseness.

"Zhilian, you don't have to say it, I know it all."

As she spoke, she glanced around.

"My wife and I have a few words to say, you all go down, watch the door, no one is allowed to come in without an order."

The people who served in front of the bed were all confidants of the princess for many years.

Hearing the master's instructions, they immediately understood, answered "yes", picked up the black cat on the coffee table, and retreated together.

The wind was blowing outside the window.

On the coffee table, the candlelight is faint.

The princess turned her face away, and a dim light shone obliquely on her side face, showing a hazy grayness.

"There's no one in the house now, you name it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin slowly put down the medicine cup, put her face in the princess's hand, and sobbed, tears wet the fingers and flowed down the palm.

"Look at your ......"

The man on the couch sighed.

"The children are so old, and they are still like such children, what should you do if I am not there next year?"

The weeper slowly raised his head.

Her whole body trembled slightly with fear.

"Sister, it's not that I'm a child, it's just that the eunuch who announced the decree, before leaving, said something to me, he said...... He said, 'Blessed lady'! ”

"You...... Remember that? ”

The more she spoke, the more fierce her tears flowed.

The princess's expression was still faint, and after a long time, a trace of deep helplessness appeared on her face, and the person on the couch spoke, and his voice was extremely tired.

"Realize that the past is not admonished, and those who know the future can be traced."

"The first emperor has passed away, and the person who is reigning now is the new emperor, and he will never do anything beyond it, Zhilian, don't think about it. My body has been getting worse and worse in the past few years, and I don't know how long I can last. ”

With that, she glanced up.

"Shou'er and Jing'er both need you, Shou'er is a medicine jar, I have nothing else to think about in this life, I just wish him a safe death; Jing'er ...... Jing'er, you also understand that the world can't accept him, you ......"

Excited, she coughed violently twice.

The person next to her hurriedly patted her on the back.

The princess coughed sharply for a long time, and when she opened her eyes again, there were already tears in her eyes.

"If my sister doesn't say it, I understand."

"But sister...... I was just afraid, so scared, when I thought of what happened back then, the feeling of betrayal and helplessness, like the devil, pinched my neck in countless nights, in my dreams, and made me breathless! ”

"He's dead! Lotus ...... He's dead! ”

"People can't be resurrected from death, and you still hold on to these...... Do what? ”

The princess's eyes widened, staring at the face in front of her.

The bright light in that pupil made Mrs. Qin feel shocked.

"I ......"

Tears welled down her eyes.

"I advised you earlier, but if you don't listen, are you the only one in this world who is unsatisfactory? No matter how bad he is, the children are yours after all, do you have to go to a desperate situation and take them to death?! ”

"No ......"

"I want them to live well!"

"But if you continue to make trouble like this, Jing'er will definitely die!"

Mrs. Qin shook her head suddenly, her lips pursed, but after a long time, she never said a word again.

The princess sighed one after another.

"You, you, have always been a piece of my heart, according to your temperament, I always worry that you will do something out of the ordinary......"

The person on the other side was stunned.

Her eyes were hollow, and she watched the princess muttering to herself.

"Really? Am I overthinking it? ”

A gust of autumn wind hit the windowsill, Mrs. Qin felt a chill behind her, she ran in the wilderness, struggling helplessly, panting and sultry, in the scorching sky, a light rain fell.

She pulled up her coat and ran out of the hall.

In the dark night, the rain was cold, hitting the bare arms, causing a shiver......

Eighteen years ago.

Three days after the wedding, the fourth prince led himself into the palace to thank him.

She was wearing a palace dress of worship, standing in the center of the hall with her husband, feeling a pair of pinprick eyes, staring at herself, so she always hung her head and did not dare to look up.

A majestic voice rang out.

Madame looked up.

In desperation, she hesitantly lifted her face, and a strong sense of uneasiness struck her violently, and when they looked at each other, she was terrified...... It's that unwarranted fear!

"Husband, let's go home."

She took the hand of the fourth prince.

The man next to him shook his head.

"Brother Huang just ordered someone to deliver the decree and leave us in the palace for lunch."

"But ......"

A pair of slender fingers firmly pinched his sleeves, but they were held by the person next to him and dragged in the palm of his hand, with a strange warmth.

"Zhilian, it is a great honor for the imperial brother to give food."

Looking at the eyes of the person in front of her, she swallowed what she wanted to say, slowly lowered her head, and whispered in her mouth.

"Yes, the concubine understands."

"The concubine body doesn't embarrass the prince."

But deep down, she was still terrified.

She had seen too many eyes, they came from different people, different faces, but the meaning they emanated was so clear and unambiguous that they were almost comparable.

Including the man standing next to her, who was with her at the moment.

Once upon a time she was not afraid, because she was ignorant and fearless;

After marriage, she is even more fearless, just because the man around her is a royal person, and he is at the top of power, under one person, above ten thousand, enough to protect her for the rest of her life.

However, when it comes to those eyes......

A strong fear, but it quickly spreads in the heart!

The person at the top of power, stripped of his yellow robe, is just an ordinary man!

After the wedding for three months, everything was fine.

In the fourth month, the fourth prince took the initiative to ask for an order to inspect the south.

That night, even more profoundly, the emperor's big eunuch Liu Gonggong came in person, and only brought a little eunuch with him, and he looked very faceless.

"Father-in-law, came late at night, I don't know why?"

She looked at each other, her tone cautious.

"Spread the word of the saint!"

The eunuch stood still in the middle of the hall, spoke in a shrill voice, and whispered:

"I heard that Mrs. Qin's chess skills are exquisite, comparable to national players, and I have a game of chess pieces, which is really difficult to solve, so I will enter the palace and solve chess for me."

Mrs. Qin was shocked, but she just smiled.

"Father-in-law, this is more exposed, the palace gate is about to be keyed, the courtiers enter the palace at this time, I am afraid that it is not suitable, and please ask the emperor to keep the chessboard, the courtiers will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, do you think it is good?"

As she spoke, the girl took out five hundred taels of silver tickets and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the eunuch.

Unexpectedly, the chief eunuch looked embarrassed.

"Madame, isn't this difficult to be a slave? The emperor is waiting for you, it's not an important matter, how can you let the servants come to pass the word? Let's go! ”

"Then please sit down and let me go and change my clothes."

"Don't bother, that's fine."

The princess knelt aside, immediately reacted, looked hurried, and made a look at the girl next to her, who immediately understood, and presented a large plate of golden nudes, in her tone, almost pleading.

"It's hard to walk at night......"

"Sister Qin has just entered the palace, she is young and timid, she doesn't understand the rules, she is afraid of colliding with the holy driver, so she asked her wife to follow her into the palace, and when she returns to the palace, she will have a companion."

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Liu's face changed suddenly!

He lowered his head, his voice almost hoarse, serious and careful.

"Princess, you are like a mirror in your heart, don't let the minions be embarrassed...... The slave is under the emperor's order, and this errand is smashed, but he will lose his head. Don't worry, for the sake of the four princes......"

The eyes looked behind him.

The little eunuch who followed behind went out on his own.

Eunuch Liu turned his head again, with a flattering smile on his face.

"For the sake of the prince's face, if the slave doesn't take a penny, he will inevitably send his wife back completely."

"It's just that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, please princess, be considerate of the slaves!"
