Concubine Liang has long seen what is going on today, the queen's illness is not a big deal in the eyes of the Queen Mother, but it is because the emperor is fierce, the Queen Mother is out of the horse, and Concubine Liang has always been clear about her identity, she is just an eyeliner placed by the Queen Mother by the King of Huainan, and she is also a relative of the King of Huainan on the surface, no matter how happy the Queen Mother is now, the Queen Mother is also a member of the Queen Mother's family after all.

The Queen Mother can regard her as a close person, she can let her serve tea and water by her side, saddle before and after the horse, or let her and the queen have a small fight, but if it really endangers the queen's life, the queen mother will definitely not tolerate it.

And now it's just the Taoist priest's words, as long as there is no evidence, the queen mother will not easily ask her for guilt, she can calm things down as long as she is sincere, but when she saw the Taoist priest following behind Mingyue, her face suddenly turned like ashes. Now she has also figured it out, this is something that someone behind her has planned a long time ago, just waiting for Mingyue to jump into the pit, and the situation of her fighting against the queen in the palace is about to end.

Now she is afraid that she will no longer be able to bear the anger of the Queen Mother, and at this time, she has no intention of caring about the righteousness of her mother's family, as long as Mingyue ......

"Bright Moon! Hugh is going to be rude to the Queen Mother! Get on your knees! ”

Seeing Mingyue standing up, and seeing the Queen Mother's increasingly gloomy complexion, Concubine Liang was almost desperate, if the Queen Mother was really annoyed, what should Mingyue do in the future? In the final analysis, she is just a candidate who can be used as a double agent in the heart of the Queen Mother, but it is absolutely impossible to trust. For the Queen Mother, Concubine Liang already has a thorn in her heart that can't be pulled out, and now Mingyue's resistance, the thorn in the Queen Mother's heart is inflamed and festering, I'm afraid that the future Concubine Liang and Mingyue will have no good life to live at all!

Concubine Liang's heartache finally made Mingyue stop her reckless behavior, and quickly knelt down, but she was stubbornly silent.

Seeing this, Concubine Liang had no choice but to kneel in front of the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Mingyue is still young, and she doesn't understand many things." ”

Now that all the evidence is there, and everyone's hearts are looking towards the queen, what do you want her to do? This innocent grievance can only be accepted for no reason, and I just beg the queen mother's anger not to be too strong, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no scum left of their mother and daughter.

Seeing Mingyue kneeling down honestly, the Queen Mother snorted coldly and said: "Arrest the thief who broke into the harem, Concubine Liang murdered the queen, the crime is unforgivable, and today it is specially demoted to Fangyi, Princess Mingyue does not respect the number of courtesies, and she is grounded in the Lanxin Palace, and she can't take a step out of the Lanxin Palace without an order!" ”

After a word, the Queen Mother brushed her sleeves and turned around, but Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Queen Mother didn't want to be a person who could make the queen feel a sense of crisis, and she hadn't retreated to death.

The Taoist who was arrested as soon as he entered the palace left with the guards in a daze, and the emperor apologized to Zhu Qing repeatedly, and Zhu Qing gave the queen a few pills, and then hid back in his palace.

Only Mingyue knelt silently in place, her face gloomy, and sent everyone away, and Concubine Liang came back to her senses, frowned and said, "Mingyue, what's going on with that person?" ”

Mingyue pursed her lips and said nothing, and after a while, she stood up, "Shen Ruan, you wait for this princess!" ”

……

In the middle of the night, Chu Nian sat down in front of the window, and heard a noise in the courtyard, she raised her head with a smile, "Dark San, are things going well?" ”

The dark guards came back together, but the atmosphere between the four of them was extremely weird, and the other three all looked at the dark three with a smile on their faces, and the dark three were wearing a Taoist robe at the moment, and his appearance was very funny.

Dark San lowered his head with a disgraced face, "The matter is done, as expected by the third lady, then Shen Ruan is also a fool, I heard that Princess Mingyue was looking for a Taoist priest, so she caught me on the street casually, and sent it to Princess Mingyue in a blink of an eye." ”

"What about scholars? Will he leak secrets? ”

"Sanniang rest assured, because he couldn't stand the torture, he had already killed himself by biting his tongue, and I put my mask belt on his face, if anyone found out that he was dead, no one would pursue it."

Hearing this, Chu Nian nodded with satisfaction. "Well done, reward you for a day off tomorrow."

Hearing that he could take a vacation, Dark San suddenly swept away his decadent color, and almost jumped up with joy, "Really? That's great! Thank you, Sanlazi! ”

At this time, a voice came from behind Dark San, and the face of Dark Sanfang, who was a little excited, suddenly froze, "The third lady allowed you to leave, but Lone Ke was approved?" ”

Ming Xiu walked out from behind the dark guards, the dark guards were suddenly full of panic, Chu Nian looked at Ming Xiu with a smile, as if he had known that he was there for a long time.

Dark San retreated bitterly, "Don't dare, don't dare, tomorrow's subordinates will definitely protect the three ladies with all their hearts." ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu nodded with satisfaction, but his thin lips were pursed, and he didn't speak, several secret guards glanced at each other, their figures flashed, and they disappeared into the night sky.

Chu Nian knew that he had something to say, so he got up with a smile and led Ming Xiu to the house, "Your Highness has something to ask me?" ”

Ming Xiu followed behind her, her slender legs had just stepped into the threshold, and she paused for a moment before falling, "Yes." ”

Chu Nian smiled and didn't speak, slowly walked to the table, personally made a pot of tea, and after the two cups of tea were full, he slowly paced to the edge of the Yuanmu table, Ming Xiu had already sat down and waited. Chu Nian sat down on the other side of Ming Xiu, took a sip of tea, and then turned his eyes and said, "What does Your Highness want to ask?" ”

Fengmei raised slightly, "You guessed that Lone was going to ask you, couldn't you guess what Lone was going to ask?" ”

Chu Nian's red lips hooked, and he turned his eyes to look out the window, it was a sunny day today, but there was still a cloud covering the entire moon, and only countless stars were left to blink.

"Your Highness wants to ask, why did the queen mother suddenly fall ill, or is it such a fantasy illness."

Ming Xiu nodded, "Not bad." ”

Chu Nian rolled her eyes, and thousands of stars reflected in her eyes, exuding a faint light, "The harem is a projection of the government, and all the ladies also represent their respective mothers, and they say that the queen mother and the concubine, the queen mother represents the queen mother and the royal family, what about the concubine?" ”

Ming Xiu's face was stunned, and Chu Nian continued: "The queen mother and the concubine had a conflict, that is, the queen mother had a conflict with the king of Huainan, and now, for the queen mother, it is the concubine who harmed the queen, and it also represents a symbol that the king of Huainan has taken action against the Wang family; As for Concubine Liang, she was accused of murdering the queen before she did anything, and she would definitely think that it was the queen's conspiracy against her, that is, the queen mother, who had already taken action against the king of Huainan. ”

Seeing Ming Xiu's slightly sinking face, Chu Nian said with a smile: "The queen mother is naturally fine, this is also a plan I came up with after discussing with her, although the king of Huainan does not seem to put the queen mother and the Wang family in his eyes, but after all, the foundation is not stable, and he will not act rashly for the time being, the queen mother is afraid of the military power of the king of Huainan, and naturally she will not do anything to the king of Huainan, but if it is a contradiction inadvertently caused by the battle in the harem, everything will be logical." ”

She paused, "Your Highness thinks that now that the King of Huainan has made a move on the Queen Mother first, will the Queen Mother sit back and wait to be killed?" And after being wronged, will Concubine Liang really be her Fang Yi honestly? After all, Concubine Liang represents the entire Huainan Palace, what will the King of Huainan do? ”

Ming Xiu's thin lips pursed, "The situation in the court will be turbulent." ”

Chu Nian nodded, "Your Highness naturally doesn't need to understand the scheming of the women in this harem, but in the future, Your Highness will inevitably face a scene where your own women kill each other, and even Your Highness's heirs will be used as bargaining chips, and Your Highness still knows a little better." ”

When she said this, her eyes were dazed for a moment, as if her thoughts had drifted away, and Ming Xiu looked at her fixedly, "If it were you, would you be willing to join this harem battle?" ”

Chu Nian couldn't cry or laugh, "If it were me, I would definitely not marry the emperor as a wife." ”

Ming Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Why?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian lowered slightly, picked up the teacup and groaned softly, "I'd rather marry a common person, for me, love is only for a while, a couple for a lifetime, and it is true to rely on each other until old age." ”

Ming Xiu landed on her face steadily, and there was a moment of trance in his eyes, and after a while, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and he got up, bringing a candle flame to flicker, "It's too late today, you should rest early, is there any medicine for headaches?" ”

Chu Nian looked at him inexplicably, nodded, and saw him striding towards the door, only a fluttering sentence fell behind him, "Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, you accompany Lonely." ”

Chu Nian looked stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there must be a lantern festival at the end of summer, but he also laughed, he didn't expect that the prince also had such a habit of joining in the fun.

……

On the evening of the second day, Ming Xiu arrived as scheduled, but he was personable today, with a mask on his face, only a pair of narrow eyes were revealed under the mask, and a plain white robe filled with a bit of a temperament that rejected people thousands of miles away, and a jade pendant on his waist was flashing under the evening afterglow.

Chu Nian wore a light blue plain and elegant long skirt and walked out of the vanilla house slowly, with a light blue tassel hairpin inserted in her bun, a peach blossom in the center of her eyebrows, looking at Ming Xiu, her eyes bent slightly, and she saw that Ming Xiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately stretched out her hand behind her back.

"It seems that Lone still has a heart for you."

I saw that Mingxiu was holding a white fox mask in his hand, which was a little charming in his lightness, and it was also light blue lace, which matched Chu Nian's outfit today.

Chu Nian took the mask with a smile, only to remember that in previous years, there was a tradition of wearing a mask to participate in the lantern festival, she put on the mask in Ming Xiu's expectant gaze, and then blinked her eyes, "Your Highness, is it good-looking?" ”

The narrow eyes under the mask were extremely gentle, "Beautiful." ”

A few secret guards hiding on the side lay on the wall and sighed in amazement, "When did Your Highness get the hang of it?" ”

"Nonsense, His Royal Highness has always spoken about love, but I haven't met a woman who can listen to it in the past."

"So the third lady still likes to hear it?"

"I don't think so, didn't you see that the three ladies didn't smile?"

"Oops! The third lady smiled! See! Wow! ”

"The third lady laughs so beautifully, no wonder His Royal Highness is ...... in front of the third lady"

"Okay, shut up, Dark Three, do you want Your Highness to hear about it and put on a woman's dress for you again?"

Dark San, who was gagged by Dark One in time, shook his head again and again, seeing this, Dark One let go of him as if relieved, and said helplessly: "Really, His Royal Highness and the Third Lady have gone out for a tryst, what should we do?" ”

"What to do? Of course, I followed. ”

"I'm not going." Dark San said with a smug face: "The third lady just sent me a new task yesterday and asked me to protect Mei Xiang!" ”

All the dark guards looked at each other, and after a while, I don't know who said "Show Grace and love dies quickly", and then got a white eye from the dark three, and then, only the back of the dark three remained.
