It was night, but the palace was full of lights. Ouchi's guards patrolled back and forth in the palace in line after team, searching for any suspicious figures.

The eunuchs and maids in the Cining Palace were all waiting carefully in front of the Queen Mother to avoid the assassins from attacking. The Queen Mother is old, and she is so quiet that she can't stand so many people dangling in front of her, so she said: "Let's all retreat, just keep Hui'er." An old eunuch said, "Queen Mother, how can this be done?" The assassin hasn't been caught yet, so we'd better be careful. ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand absently and said, "I have followed the emperor for so many years, what wind and waves have I never seen?" The assassin's target was the Emperor, and protecting the Emperor was the most important thing. An old woman in her old age is in mourning, what can he get from me? With that, he smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand back.

The eunuch couldn't, so he had to retreat. Before leaving, he whispered to a grandmother: "Grandma Hui, you have to take care of it, if there is any situation, you can call someone, and we will wait outside." Mama Hui nodded silently.

So everyone retreated, and Mama Hui stepped forward to help the Queen Mother to rest on the couch, and picked up a bowl of ginseng soup from the table and said, "Niangniang, this ginseng soup can't be drunk no matter how cold it is, so let's drink it while it's hot." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, took two sips of ginseng soup, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Hui'er, why do you say that this White Lotus Sect is making endless trouble?" If there are tens of thousands of disciples, it will be enough, and now a mourner listens to Xiao Lizi say, it seems that there is only one sect leader left in this White Lotus Sect! Gee! I don't know why? He shook his head with emotion.

"It's a blessing to be like this!" Mama Hui took the porcelain bowl and said.

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother didn't believe her ears, and looked up at Mama Hui in surprise. At this time, she realized that Mama Hui's face was very strange, her skin seemed much smoother than usual, and some wrinkles had disappeared, like a wax person. Looking closely, it looks like the eighteen-year-old Hui'er forty years ago.

"Hui'er, you-" The Queen Mother suddenly felt a little creepy, and involuntarily shrank back.

The expression on Mama Hui's face was very strange, she looked at the Queen Mother fixedly, her eyes were wandering and weird. Seeing that the Queen Mother was starting to be a little afraid, she chuckled lightly, stretched out a hand and took off the human skin mask and hair cover on her face, revealing her bare head, which was the long-missing Master of Hatredless.

Seeing this terrifying scene of changing her face in an instant, the Queen Mother was so shocked that she almost screamed. She wanted to shout for help, but found that she couldn't use her strength, not only could she not scream loudly, but even her body was soft.

The Queen Mother asked in a trembling voice, "...... you Who exactly? You...... What do you want to do......"

Wuxian threw away the mask and hair cover in his hand, walked up to the Queen Mother and said, "You are really a noble person, how forgetful!" When you become the queen mother, you forget my good sister? ”

The Queen Mother looked at the old woman in front of her carefully with fear and doubt, and suddenly, her body began to tremble violently, and she murmured, "You...... No way...... No way...... You're not already ......"

"Already dead?" Wu Hate answered for her, smiled mockingly and said, "Yo, it seems that you, a nobleman, still remembers Lian'er!" Yes, thanks to you, I was given a glass of dove wine by the emperor - oh, the emperor gave me a glass of dove wine, and your old man personally sent me on my way. Haven't forgotten? ”

The Queen Mother only trembled her lips but couldn't speak.

It turns out that this hateless real name is Liao Shuilian, and she is the lotus concubine who was abolished by the emperor forty years ago and then died. Back then, this Concubine Lian gave birth to a little prince, who was strangled to death in swaddling clothes just after birth, but the murderer could not be found, and she was grief-stricken and washed her face with tears every day. Because she was the most favored by the emperor in Pingsuri, almost no one in the palace concubines at that time befriended her. Only Concubine Shu, who is now the Queen Mother, is the closest to her, and often comes to visit and comfort her.

Later, the new Xiao Gui gave birth to a little prince, and it didn't take long for him to be poisoned to death in swaddling clothes. During a routine search, the guards actually found a bottle of poison from under Concubine Lian's bed, which was the same medicine that poisoned the little prince. No matter how she shouted injustice, no one believed her, everyone thought that she was too sad after the loss of her son, and then became jealous of Xiao Guiren, so she poisoned the little prince. Concubine Lian, who was speechless, was directly deposed as a concubine and given a glass of dove wine.

On the day of her death, it was her best concubine who personally sent the dove wine. After reading the holy decree, even though she was full of grievances, she could only drink the poisoned wine in grief and anger. As soon as the wine was drunk, he heard Concubine Shu sneering: "Let's go on the road!" Don't blame me for being ruthless, who made you so much pleasing to the emperor! The moment she heard this, Concubine Lian was like five thunderbolts. Only then did she realize that the woman in front of her was the culprit of everything. But it was too late, and she soon lost consciousness under the influence of the poisoned alcohol.

Fortunately, this Concubine Lian had a father who loved her, who was the Yin of Shuntian Mansion at the time. He spent a lot of money to dredge the joints, quietly found someone to exchange the dove wine for the medicine of fake death, and after the deed was completed, he took his daughter's "corpse" home. After a few days, she was sent back to her hometown in Jiangnan and lived a life of seclusion. The water lotus who came back to life is no longer the simple and cowardly woman she was at the beginning, and there are only thousands of blood hatreds in her heart. So she worshipped the characters of the rivers and lakes as teachers, learned martial arts and poison arts, and single-handedly founded the White Lotus Sect, adopted many orphan girls to work for her, and once disturbed the peace of half of the Xi Dynasty.

Now she has nothing left, only the bitter hatred that has been brewing and fermenting for forty years in her heart. When she returned to the palace alone, the concubine was already the queen mother above 10,000 people.

"Humph! Climbing to this position, you must have stepped on a lot of white bones under your feet - it must be as high as a wall. Shui Lian slowly approached the Queen Mother and said, "If it weren't for my fate, now, I would also be one of those white bones." ”

At this time, the queen mother had already lost her usual solemn and kind demeanor, only to see that her old face was completely bloodless, her flabby eyes drooped downward, and she did not dare to look ahead.

"You ......" The Queen Mother's lips trembled as if she didn't obey the call, and she struggled for a while before she spit out a sentence with difficulty, "Are you going to kill me?" ”
