In this way, at least in front of people, it was Princess Tana who invited Qin Yining, and Li Qitian only helped her open her mouth to continue to keep people because he favored Princess Tana, not that he, as an emperor, wanted to detain his courtiers and family members in the palace as hostages.

All the people present were human spirits, and no one had anything to say except to bow and leave.

Concubine Yun also mixed in with the concubines and bowed and retreated.

She was very worried, and always felt that today's events were too smooth, too much in line with her expectations, and things had come to this point, and the saint did not investigate her carefully, let alone find her out and punish her.

Concubine Yun let out a long breath, and the hanging heart was finally able to fall back to its original place.

As long as she doesn't find her in person, I believe that the Queen Mother will definitely protect her in the future. No matter what, she is also the cousin and niece of the Queen Mother, even if she is not good, the Queen Mother will not let her mother's character be flawed, then she will definitely protect her.

At most, she scolded her secretly.

Concubine Yun thought optimistically.

In Ci'an Palace, everyone has already left, only Li Helan still wants to stay and talk to the Queen Mother.

Li Qitian also took a step forward and said, "Lan'er will also go out first." ”

Li Helan felt that things were a little unusual, and she wanted to be coquettish and obsessively stay. But as soon as Li Qitian's eyes met, her coquettish words were swallowed immediately. The royal brother in front of him is no longer the brother who was obedient to her and treated her like a baby.

Li Helan saluted and said, "Yes." He glanced at the Queen Mother worriedly, then walked out quickly, and ordered someone to watch the door, and no one was allowed to disturb or approach.

"People are gone." Li Qitian looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, but there was a ruthlessness in his smile, "Queen Mother, there are no outsiders now, can you talk to me?" ”

The Queen Mother's smile was a little reluctant, obviously in a weak heart, "What does the emperor want the mourning family to say?" The mourning family doesn't understand. ”

"Don't understand?" Li Qitian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled very sarcastically, "Didn't the queen mother treat everyone as fools?" Do you really think that today's events are so seamless that no one can see that the strangeness is directed at you? ”

The Queen Mother's face turned pale in an instant.

He got it! He knew!

"Emperor, listen to my explanation." The Queen Mother took Li Qitian's hand anxiously, and said that she had forgotten to mourn the family, "Brother Hao is my own grandson, how could I harm him?" I don't mean to hurt Brother Hao at all! ”

Li Qitian smiled and nodded: "I believe this." Otherwise, Concubine Yu would not have appeared there. But the 'dream of death' under the bird's nest...... Mother, you're preparing arsenic, right? ”

The Queen Mother nodded, her heart jumped suddenly, she already understood that Concubine Yun might not be able to keep it.

"Emperor, this matter is a poor plan of the mourning family, I didn't see that Concubine Yun dared to have such thoughts."

"If you didn't expect it, you wouldn't have arranged Concubine Yu. You can't trust her. ”

Li Qitian stood up coldly and said, "I know that the queen mother is for the face and glory of the family, for the sake of you being my biological mother, I will not reveal this matter, and I will carry this laughing stock and black pot on my back." However, Concubine Yun can't continue to stay. ”

"Emperor, Concubine Yun has served you for a while, although that kid was stunned for a while, but he is not a person who intends to do evil......"

"If you don't intend to do evil, you have to poison my sister-in-law, or do you dream of dying with the kind of poison that has no hope of salvation, if you do evil with intentions, won't even I have to be poisoned? I will not allow anyone with such a vicious heart to be at the pillow! ”

Li Qitian suddenly looked back at the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is reluctant to her?" Can you give up your sons and grandchildren? ”

"No, no......"

Li Qitian suddenly approached the queen mother's side and said bluntly: "The queen mother is attached to authority, she has always been goodbye to the queen, and she refuses to live in peace if she is not raised at a good age, these I can turn a blind eye, who made you my queen mother?" ”

"But the queen mother's heart is inevitably getting bigger and bigger, you want to cultivate your relatives, and you also want to use a woman to control my harem, is it that in the eyes of the queen mother, I am the kind of soft egg with soft ears?"

"Emperor, don't get me wrong, I didn't think so."

"None? Who wrote the palace change in the first place? I was buried in the underground palace, what did the queen mother do? The real queen was pregnant and locked up in the palace by King Lijun, and the queen mother ever thought that she was pregnant with my flesh and blood, your grandson? ”

Every time Li Qitian said a word, the Queen Mother's face became miserable, and after a string of words, the Queen Mother was already slumped on the chair with a blank face.

Li Qitian stood up, and said expressionlessly: "If I don't pursue this matter, it will be benevolent and righteous, and the queen mother will deal with it herself." If you don't handle it well, I'll do it myself. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head again and again, watching Li Qitian feel so frightened and strange for the first time, this was even more terrifying than when the palace changed at the beginning!

Li Qitian didn't look back and strode out of Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother sat in place in a daze, her mind was blank, and she didn't even know what she was thinking or what to think.

She suddenly recalled that before Li Qitian participated in the great cause, her husband was still there at that time, although the family was not rich and wealthy, but they also lived with Meimei, and they were happy to cut a new dress for the New Year, and they were excited to eat a roast chicken.

Now she wears silk and satin, and eats delicious food, but she can no longer find that feeling of joy and excitement, and she no longer has the warmth of being together.

They used to be a close family, but when it came to the interests of power, they were suspicious of each other and estranged from each other, and her biological son would become like this!

The Queen Mother suddenly burst into tears.

After crying for a long time, the Queen Mother suddenly wiped her face.

"Someone!"

The grandmother who had been waiting outside the door hurriedly came in when she heard the sound and saluted: "Queen Mother." ”

"Come here."

The tears on the Queen Mother's face were not dry, but her eyes became firm, and she whispered a few words in the mother's ear.

A trace of consternation flashed on Mama's face, and then her expression became heavier and heavier, and finally she answered in a low voice, and quickly retreated.

Qin Yining returned to Chuxiu Palace and immediately ordered someone to prepare a hot bath.

Tired of soaking in hot water, she put her arms on the edge of the barrel, tilted her head and asked rock candy to wash her hair.

Ji Yun scooped up the warm water with rose petals with a wooden spoon and poured it on her long hair, looked at her collarbones and thin arms that became more and more obvious, and said in a choked voice: "Princess, you have suffered. ”

Qin Yining smiled, kept his posture just now, and said in a low voice: "You said, just now that chamberlain whispered a few words in the saint's ear, and the saint changed his mind. What exactly did you mean? Is there news from the south? ”

Jiyun shook his head, "Maybe so." ”

Rock Candy said, "The slave thinks it must be." If it weren't for something for the Holy Lord's attention, I'm afraid I would be ...... today It must be something that the prince did that made the saint have to put his mind away. ”

Qin Yining smiled again and said, "I guess so." ”

It's just that they are all trapped in the palace now, and even if such a big thing happened, Li Qitian did not give up the idea of letting her stay in the palace as a hostage, so that she completely cut off contact with the outside world, and knew nothing about all the news.

"By the way, you guys pay attention these days, Jiang Yuan is still not in the imperial study. Of course, don't take the initiative to investigate, so as not to let people find out, after all, the Qianqing Palace is such a big thing, and the saint must be ordering someone to investigate it strictly. Don't show your feet. ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

Qin Yining nodded, "Remember not to deliberately investigate, just keep an eye on it." ”

"Yes."

Bingtang and Jiyun actually have the same suspicions as Qin Yining, the timing of the Qianqing Palace's water trip came too coincidentally, if the saint hadn't changed his mind temporarily today, and pulled out a concubine Yu to apologize, I'm afraid Qin Yining would have been convicted a long time ago.

And the Qianqing Palace went to the water, the palace was in chaos, there were rumors that there were bandits or rebels killing people in the palace, and when the horrified palace people fled in all directions, it was actually the best time to take advantage of the chaos to escape. They all wondered if Jiang Yuan thought that Qin Yining would definitely be severely punished by the Holy Lord in order to save Qin Yining's life, so he set a fire, attracting everyone's attention and giving Qin Yining a chance to escape?

Just thinking like this, a palace maid outside suddenly ran through the corridor and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good!" Shun Concubine Niangniang! ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Qin Yining hurriedly got up and asked Bingtang to help her get her clothes. Jiyun walked quickly to the door and listened to the movement outside against the palace gate.

Princess Tana was eating fruit in the palace when her little silver fork fell off when she was startled by the sudden cry, and said angrily, "What a noise, dead man! ”

"Concubine Hui Shun, she is indeed dead, just now the slave maid heard that Concubine Yun had heart palpitations and has died!"

"What? Wasn't it okay to be in Ci'an Palace just now? Princess Tana was stunned, she couldn't figure out how a good person could suddenly die, and she didn't usually see that Concubine Yun had a heart disease.

Jiyun turned his head and looked at Qin Yining and Bingtang, who also heard these words.

The three of them returned to the inner room, and Qin Yining said: "She is a chess piece, and in the end, the Queen Mother needs to have a scapegoat, and she doesn't want the matter to involve her mother's family, so naturally she can only be 'sick'." ”

"Princess, you would say that in fact, she may be ...... by the Queen Mother"

"It must be."

Qin Yining put on a thick gown, put on a dark green jacket and asked Rock Candy to wipe her hair.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then a familiar voice was heard, "Is Prince Zhongshun here?" ”

"It's Grandma Sun next to the queen." Qin Yining hurriedly said, "Invite her in." ”

Jiyun hurriedly went to open the door of the temple and politely invited someone in.

Mama Sun's face was full of anxiety, and when she saw Qin Yining, she didn't care about saluting, and immediately said, "Princess, something happened to your family." ”

Bingtang's hand holding the wooden comb stopped, Qin Yining also raised his eyes, and looked at Grandma Sun with his bright eyes.

Mama Sun met her clear eyes, full of unbearable feelings, sighed, and said: "Princess, don't be sad, the queen mother asked the slave maid to tell you quietly, she also heard someone say it just now, yes, said that your father's army was intercepted outside the Heavenly Domain Pass, your father he, he went......"
