Empress Zixuan looked out the window, her thoughts flying farther and farther.

I don't know how long she hasn't thought about love or not, she only has a husband and children in her life, helping the saint stabilize his world, and helping Heze complete her life.

However, her daughter and his son were married by his husband, and she thought that her regrets could be filled by her daughter, but in the middle, there was a clear Yi, she was Nanyin's daughter, and she snatched Ye Linghan.

What the hell is going on, the previous generation of Nanyin took away the person she loved, and the next generation, Nanyin's daughter took away her daughter's future husband.

Maybe she won't use too much of her personal feelings in this matter, but the matter of Qingyi and Ye Linghan, considering from the standpoint of the whole country, she will definitely not agree.

The chariot gradually stopped, she came back to her senses, looked at Qingyi who was looking at her nervously on the side, smiled slightly, got out of the car, and returned to her palace.

Anle Palace.

I have never believed in God or Buddha, but for the sake of Ye Ling Han, I am willing to give it a try, I set up a shrine in the Anle Palace, worship in the morning and evening, hoping to keep Ye Ling Han safe.

Chen Fei always laughed at me, it was better to go to the Holy Lord every day and ask him to send another brocade-clothed guard to the Northern Desert to exchange Ye Linghan back. I ignored him with white eyes, because I knew that as a brocade guard, Ye Linghan liked the feeling of being reused, and besides, when he went to the Northern Desert, he was friendly with Liyan, and he couldn't talk to the Huns very happily, so he couldn't fight at all.

I began to eat fasting and chanting Buddha in the Anle Palace every day, and the queen asked me to go to the Lishan Palace to play, but I didn't go. The saint wanted to take me to Mount Tai to worship my ancestors, but I also refused. The two heavyweights in the palace are not there, but I am idle, I will chat with the King of Inurong if I have nothing to do, and the rest of the time will be spent in the palace praying for Ye Linghan.

The emperor, the queen and the crown prince are gone, and everything in the palace is in the hands of the concubine, I don't want to have too much communication with her, I just want to be quiet.

One day, I was worshipping Buddha in the Anle Palace, and the lady concubine had a big belly and stumbled to the Anle Palace.

Seeing her panicked look, I immediately became anxious, "What's wrong with you, Niangniang?" What's wrong? ”

She came running and grabbed my arm, not oblivious to the fact that she was already months pregnant.

"Qingyi, I have something to ask you, can you get everyone down?" She said with a trembling voice.

"Okay, okay, don't worry." I gave Chen Fei a look, and he told all the maids to leave, and he was the last one to go out of the door, and closed the door gently.

"Mother, what are you doing? Why are you so panicked? I asked, puzzled.

Concubine Shuniang knelt on the ground with a plop, and she tugged at the corner of my clothes: "Qingyi, I really have no choice but to beg you......"

I was frightened, and quickly helped her up and sat on the chair, from the time I entered the palace to the present, the concubine I have seen has always been a quiet and gentle and docile woman, why is she so embarrassed today?

"Niangniang, don't worry, sit down and say slowly, you still have a child in your belly, be careful to understand the fetal gas."

Concubine Shu's eyes were red, and there was a look of shame on her face: "Now I'm not afraid to tell you, Qingyi, in fact, I have arranged my eyeliner around the concubine and the queen and various important people in the palace, you know, in this palace, if you don't have your own means, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for three days." ”

"I know." I answered her calmly. I still know this, how many ladies in this palace, who doesn't have a few eyeliner? Her eyeliner shouldn't be too much in the palace, the queen and the concubine are the real scheming masters, and her means are really nothing, so she doesn't have to feel ashamed.

"So what's that?" I asked Shufei.

Concubine Shu's eyes were flustered, and her voice trembled a little, "Last night, I had my eyeliner to report...... Say yes, say yes...... The prince will die in southern Xinjiang this time! ”

What the?!

I couldn't help but be stunned: "This prince has just gone to southern Xinjiang, how can he make such a judgment?" If the Holy One knows about it, this kind of slander will be beheaded. ”

"This news is absolutely reliable! Qingyi, I'm afraid that this prince went to southern Xinjiang to quell the war, what did someone do! The concubine's voice trembled.

I can't help but feel a chill in my heart, this matter is getting more and more complicated, the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang is not only intended to get rid of me, but also to get rid of the prince? I panicked, what the hell is going on? Whose conspiracy is this? What is this man playing such an exquisite game of chess for?

"Concubine Niangniang, you can't talk nonsense, is your news reliable?" I asked, worried.

Concubine Shu became anxious again, "Qingyi, you believe me!" My eyeliner is absolutely reliable! ”

"Then mother, do you know who is behind this incident?" I asked.

She shook her head helplessly, her eyes were already full of tears, "This news is what I overheard when a palace maid who was placed in the imperial dining room gave the ministers a food box gifted by the saint, and she only heard this sentence, and she didn't find any other news." Qingyi, you know, I'm soft-spoken in the palace, and I can't do anything with the eyeliner I put in......"

The face of the noble concubine suddenly appeared in my mind, she was the one who wanted the crown prince the most. But she once came to my palace to remind me and asked me to pay attention to my own safety, it seems that she really knows something, so she deliberately revealed to me that in this way, the mastermind behind this scene is not her.

So, who will it be?

However, Concubine Shu's state today is particularly wrong, it is normal for a machine to die a person in this palace all year round, and the untimely death of the prince and princess is not uncommon, she should have been commonplace, why is she so concerned about the prince's safety today?

"Concubine Niangniang, since it's half a message you heard, why do you have to take it so seriously? Maybe someone else is just a guess, maybe it's okay? "I calmed down and was skeptical.

"But I can't accept such speculation!" Concubine Shu still looked flustered, with tears in her eyes: "I can't ......"

"And what are you trying to make me do when you tell me this?" I wondered, what was the purpose of her telling me this? This doesn't look like the style of the always strict concubine.

"Qingyi......" Concubine Shuniang stood up from her chair again and knelt down in front of me, I was once again frightened by her look.

"Qingyi, that's all for my ability, that's all I can know...... I beg you about this matter, I beg you to find out the truth and save the prince's life! I know...... I know that the people of southern Xinjiang listen to you! I know they worship you as their god! Concubine Shu said sadly, shedding tears.

I feel sorry in my heart, why is Concubine Shu so concerned about the safety of the prince? I'm afraid this relationship is not as simple as a stepmother and son......

"Lady Niangniang, ...... you" My voice trembled a little, and I asked in surprise, in fact, how much I didn't want to hear the answer.

Concubine Shu's tears slid down her face, she sat on the ground, her expression was sad, tears came out of her eyes little by little, and she said weakly: "Yes, the prince is me...... Like......"

What the?! I can't help but be stunned, the two of them are mother and son! Here's how they ...... This is the love of **!

Oh, my God! If this matter is known to the saint, it will be killed! This is a great disgrace to the royal family!

"I like the crown prince, but Qingyi, don't get me wrong, nothing ...... between me and the prince," Concubine Shu pleaded.

Nothing between them? I was skeptical, and now, how can I believe her words?

She looked into the distance and told her story heartbreakingly.

"I entered the palace in the prime of my cardamom years and married the saint who was already in the age of confusion. At that time, I didn't know what love was, I only knew that my duty was to serve the good saint in the bed, and that would be fine. ”

Concubine Shu glanced at me, and then said: "But the loneliness and darkness in this palace is really beyond my imagination, after the first night of tossing and turning, the saint has never come to my dormitory, and I, a newcomer, naturally can't avoid being bullied and humiliated by the concubines, at that time, I was timid and cowardly, and I broke my teeth and swallowed it in my stomach. ”

"However, in the deep palace, I actually met a prince who was as old as me, and at that time, I was bullied by the old lady in my palace, and I fetched water in the back garden to wash my clothes. The prince happened to bump into me, and he knew that I was a talented person who had just entered the palace, and he couldn't bear it, so he told me that everything in this palace had to be fought for by himself, and he could only wait to be killed while sitting. ”

"Then I understood that I had to fight for my own dignity, my own status, and I had to fight for my own grace, and I had to fight for the grace of the saints." Concubine Niangniang's face was tired, "Then, I gradually reached today's position, carefully managing my life step by step, and the prince didn't know when it started, I put it in my heart, and in the dead of night, I thought silently......"

Looking at the fragile and petite woman on the ground, I couldn't help but feel distressed in my heart, and asked softly, "Prince, does he know your mind?" ”

Concubine Niangniang shook her head resolutely, "After I knew that I had him in my heart, I didn't have any contact with him anymore, but I just watched him from a distance when everyone was there." And he never paid attention to me as a person, I know that although we are the same age, I am his elder and I am his stepmother...... And he, the future Son of Heaven, how can he have a little flaw......"

Listening to her words, I was stunned.
