Soon, Chu Nian had learned what the Queen Mother had done, and in the early morning of the next day, news came from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother had invited all the ladies to go to Qingshan Temple to pray for the emperor in order to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

It stands to reason that every year on the emperor's birthday, a state banquet is held, and the people of the whole country celebrate together, but this time the empress dowager left the Beijing Chinese military officials alone, but invited the family members to go to Qingshan Temple together?

You must know that the banquet of the civil and military hundred officials palace can still fit a hidden dragon hall, but if they bring their family members...... I'm afraid that a Qingshan Temple can't really fit so many people.

That dark rin specially sent a letter to Chu Nian yesterday to inform Chu Nian of today's news? If that's all there is, there's no need to ...... Chu Nian suddenly thought of a possibility.

Now that the princes are in the capital, their purpose is to seize the throne, and they will inevitably bring their most valued children to witness this chaos.

If the princes are not around on this trip, what can those rich children who have no personnel to do?

If on the way, I met so many assassins with no eyes, and the Queen Mother failed to protect one or two of them, could it be that the princes could still take the Queen Mother?

At that time, I am afraid that it will be a sentence of "destiny", and the princes will even be blocked in their throats when they complain!

After figuring out the beginning and the end, Chu Nian is no longer worried, now that the Queen Mother has joined the princes who have returned to Beijing, she and Ming Xiu can watch the fire from the other side for the time being-the Queen Mother does not dare to move Ming Xiu for the time being, if she really moves Ming Xiu, I am afraid that it is time for the princes to do something to her and the Wang family.

But now that the Queen Mother has sent someone to inform her of a trip, she must not be able to go this time.

Before leaving, Chu Nian went to the palace first, and the queen's complexion has improved a little now, and she is waiting for the medicine king to deal with Mu Qing's affairs before sending the queen to the Moon Villa to take care of her, and at that time, the queen will be cured, and she can also take advantage of her illness to stay away from the disputes between the court and China.

Now that she saw Chu Nian, the queen's face was amiable, she collapsed under Chu Nian's support, and turned her eyes to look at the misty autumn rain outside the window.

"It's going to change again."

Chu Nian followed her gaze, a smile bloomed slightly at the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "The queen doesn't need to worry, this autumn wind blows tightly, but it can't blow from Zhengyang Palace." ”

The queen lowered her eyes slightly: "This palace knows that you and Ming Xiu will protect me tightly, and the autumn wind will naturally not blow in the Zhengyang Palace, but it is a pity that in other palaces, I don't know if there are a few charcoal basins added......"

Chu Nian was silent, seeing that the queen's body was weak and wanted to sit down, she spread a thin blanket on the chair beside the queen, and then helped the queen's soft body to sit down, and turned around to prepare warm tea.

After the queen watched her busy, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes, "The thinking of this palace is just that I am afraid that you will not be able to endure the autumn wind in this harem in the future, and it seems that you should sincerely want to participate in this autumn wind." ”

Chu Nian put the warm tea on the queen's side, and then said with a light smile: "What the queen said here, of course Nian'er is not afraid of the autumn wind, besides, the future is far away, who can say for sure." ”

"yes, no one can say."

The queen frowned and looked out the window.

In order to facilitate the queen to appreciate the peach blossoms planted by the emperor himself, the queen's bedroom is in the center of this garden.

But now in autumn, there is only a bare peach blossom tree in the garden, which looks very desolate.

"A few days ago, this palace heard that Concubine Chen was drugged and infected with the palace cold-"

Chu Nian glanced sideways at the queen: "The queen is worried about Concubine Chen? ”

The queen shook her head and said: "It's not, what happened in this palace, this palace has seen a lot a lot, but I'm a little worried, if something big happens to Concubine Chen, will this harem change hands again?" ”

At this time, after Chu Nian's careful care, the queen's face has already recovered a little of its former demeanor, warm and moving, and when she occasionally blooms with a smile, she still has charm.

Chu Nian looked at the queen's bright face with a little sorrow, thought for a while, and said: "The queen's mother has been worried, hasn't the lord of the harem always been the queen's mother?" ”

Hearing this, the queen shook her head, took a sip of the warm tea handed over by Chu Nian, and then said: "That's not the case, the master of this harem has never been the queen mother, so he said that he would go to Qingshan Temple tomorrow, and the palace only said that he was sick, and the queen mother refused to bear it." ”

Chu Nian frowned: "The Queen Mother also invited the Queen Mother to go with her?" ”

The news that the queen is now in critical health, it is impossible for the queen mother not to know, since she knows, why does the queen mother force the queen to go with her? If it is really as Chu Nian imagined before, the queen mother is to arrest the daughters of the hundred officials and princes in order to contain them, then the queen ...... Is it just to contain the emperor and Ming Xiu?

It turns out that this is the "Queen Mother's action"!

Chu Nian suddenly realized, but her heart was slightly cold, she frowned and looked at the queen and said, "Can't Niangniang refuse?" ”

The queen's face was helpless: "The palace tried to refuse, but the queen mother said, if the palace does not go, it is disrespectful to the emperor, the queen mother threatens the phoenix position, and said that the host of Qingshan Temple is a living Buddha, maybe you can be optimistic about the stubborn disease of the palace...... Bengong couldn't think of any reason to refuse, and he was afraid that she would be annoyed and angry with Ming Xiu and the emperor. ”

Chu Nian understood that the queen was also alone, but because of the two bonds of the emperor and Ming Xiu, for a while, she was eaten to death by the queen mother.

I'm not afraid of what the Queen Mother will do to the emperor and Ming Xiu, but if the Queen Mother is really annoyed and angry, it is not impossible to break the net with Ming Xiu.

After thinking for a while, Chu Nian raised his head and looked at the queen and said: "Then temporarily agree to the queen mother's proposal, and the courtiers will follow by the mother's side, and His Royal Highness has a secret guard around him who can protect the emperor and His Royal Highness himself, please feel at ease." ”

Hearing Chu Nian's words, the queen's face seemed to loosen a little, and she smiled and said: "The emperor has dragged me down all my life, and it is my turn to drag him down, but it is just that Ming Xiu suffers ......"

Chu Nian knew what the queen meant, the queen was originally carrying the family mission to the back seat, but later because of her personal feelings, she wanted to break free from the shackles of the family, how could it be too late, when she came back to her senses, the foolish emperor had become her shackles, for the safety of the emperor, the queen could only become a puppet under the queen mother like the emperor.

If the emperor and the empress were just an ordinary husband and wife of the people, they would definitely be affectionate, loving and harmonious, but it is a pity that they are better than the royal family, and there is no such simple happiness.

Now the Queen Mother is ready to use the queen to contain the emperor and Ming Xiu who want to rebel - Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, the idea was good, but the Queen Mother's mistake was to underestimate her too much.

"Regarding the matter between Concubine Liang and Concubine Chen, this palace knows that this matter has something to do with you, but Nian'er, this palace has something to explain to you." Seeing Chu Nian raise her eyes, the queen took Chu Nian's hand with a little sadness on her face, and said earnestly: "You have to leave a little room for people in everything, so as not to get the blood of the old man's hands, and if you think back on this life, you will regret it." ”

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, nodded lightly and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, the courtiers know." ”

At this moment, Chu Nian still hadn't realized the weight of the queen's words, but by the time she knew, it was too late.

……

At night, she waited for Ming Xiu, at this moment Chu Nian was sitting on the water pavilion and drinking tea indifferently, when she was alone, she always liked to step on the blanket of the water pavilion barefoot, but at this moment the water pavilion was ventilated, the autumn wind blew in, it was cold and cold, and her feet were also slightly cold, but Chu Nian fell into a thought, and she was unaware of her almost frozen feet.

Ming Xiu entered the water pavilion, and when he saw Chu Nian's jade feet kneeling on the edge of the water pavilion bare, he immediately frowned.

He took off his robe, put it over the thin figure, and covered his cold little feet with his big hands: "What do you want?" ”

Hearing Ming Xiu's voice, Chu Nian was able to come back to her senses, feeling the unusual warmth under her feet, she smiled softly and said, "It's Your Highness who is late." ”

Ming Xiu rubbed her head helplessly, seeing that she was gently leaning in her arms, and didn't speak, she listened to Chu Nian continue: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about the queen mother, I will never leave the queen mother when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu's brows furrowed slightly: "I didn't hear the news until the evening." ”

Chu Nian nodded, gathered the outer robe on his body, and drowned his whole person in the arms of the lotus fragrance behind him.

"You say, what the Queen Mother wants, which prince's allegiance?"

The queen mother's best thing is nothing more than coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, this "Son of Heaven" is not only the emperor, but also the families of the princes who went this time.

But Chu Nian's intuition told her that things were far more simple than that.

Ming Xiu pondered for a while, a breeze blew, and his arms tightened a little, "I don't know, but if I were the Queen Mother, I would attack King Huainan." ”

Chu Nian smiled: "The princess of the king of Huainan is still far away in Huainan, the prince came back a few days ago, I heard that he was sick, how can the queen mother coerce the king of Huainan?" ”

Ming Xiu shook his head and said: "Even if the King of Huainan is hearty, but he is also affectionate, you used Xiaolan to make a good move before, but the King of Huainan is finally in Xiaolan's gentle township." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian frowned: "You mean that the Queen Mother will use Xiaolan, a little concubine, to blackmail King Huainan?" ”

Ming Xiu glanced down at Chu Nian: "You don't understand a man's mind, a man with a little sense of responsibility will not be willing to let his woman suffer, not to mention that this trip is uncertain." ”

Chu Nian thought for a while before calling out to Dark San, who saw the intimate behavior between the two, and couldn't help but blush, but he didn't dare to raise his head under Ming Xiu's deterrent gaze.

"Dark three, you go to the Huainan Palace, and ask the Huainan King to ask for a few more guards when Mrs. Lan leaves." As he spoke, Chu Nian lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "Focus on talking to Xiaolan, just say that I specially told her." ”

Xiaolan is a smart person, if Chu Nian personally told her the news, she would definitely pay attention to it, and she would understand that it was powerful, as long as she valued this matter, no matter how good she was to discuss it with King Huainan, she was not afraid that King Huainan would not know the severity.

Now, although the King of Huainan has a grudge against Chu Nian for some reason, in the end, the King of Huainan is still the head of the prince, no matter what, Xiaolan can't have an accident, and King Huainan can't be held in the hands of the Queen Mother, otherwise they will be completely unable to turn over in the future.
