By the halfway point of April, the weather was already hot, and women in light summer shirts could be seen everywhere in the palace.

Concubine Xian was finally able to get out of Yuquan Palace, but she was still wearing a thick Luo skirt.

Rao was like this, standing in the open space outside the Yuquan Palace, she still felt a trace of coldness.

She knew that the coldness did not come from the wind of early summer, but from her heart and bones.

The thoughts in my heart are gone, my body is broken, and it is naturally cold inside and out.

"Mother, it's windy at the intersection, so be careful about the cold." Gong Wan reminded.

Concubine Xian pulled her collar and said softly, "Go to Cining Palace." ”

Mama Chang's words that day, she always felt that there was another deep meaning.

In the past two years, the Queen Mother seems to have changed a little, and she is not as simple as before.

Concubine Xian is having a hard time these days, but she took Mama Chang's words to heart, and when she got better, she went to Cining Palace to ask for peace as soon as possible.

Only halfway through walking, Concubine Xian began to pant and her face turned pale.

The palace maid looked worried: "Niangniang, you can rest." ”

Concubine Xian waved her hand: "What are you resting, what does it look like to be late for the Queen Mother." ”

After stopping and stopping like this, I finally arrived at Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was asking the two princesses to read the story to her in turn, and when she heard that Concubine Xian had arrived, she opened her eyes: "Please come in." ”

Not long after, Concubine Xian walked in and respectfully greeted the Queen Mother.

"Give a seat to Concubine Xian."

A palace maid brought a small pestle and placed it next to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian sat down.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Wait a minute, Fuqing will almost be finished." ”

The girl's crisp and beautiful voice sounded again, and Concubine Xian listened silently, realizing that this was a completely strange story.

"Grandmother Huang, I'm done." Princess Fuqing finished reading the last page, and she was still unsatisfied.

Obviously, this story made Princess Fuqing like it very much.

The fourteenth princess on the side was still quiet and quiet, with no sense of existence.

The queen mother motioned to the palace maid to put away the notebook, and said with a loving face: "You two go back first." ”

Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen saluted the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian and left together.

The Queen Mother smiled and opened her mouth first: "Now the book is getting more and more interesting, it is said that it is a study called Liuchu Huazhai outside the palace, that time Mama Chang went out of the palace to bring back a few books to relieve boredom for the mourning family, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Concubine Xian sneered: "The concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is lonely and unheard, and she has never heard of it." ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, with a little emotion: "Yes, after living in the deep palace for a long time, the outside of the palace has become completely unfamiliar." ”

Concubine Xian didn't know how to answer for a while.

The queen mother was not close to her in the past, or she was the same for any concubine, but now she gossips with her, which is a little confusing.

"Stand down." The Queen Mother took the tea cup from the palace maid and sent the waiter out with a word.

Concubine Xian was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, and her heart was uneasy.

"You rarely go back to the mansion, do you?" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "I only saved my relatives once eight years ago. ”

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "The mourning family remembered, your father was sick at that time. ”

Concubine Xian's eyes were hot, and she nodded slowly.

That year, the news came that her father was seriously ill, and in order to see her father for the last time, she asked the emperor to save her relatives.

At that time, she was a proud person in the palace, and the emperor also gave her face, and she agreed very happily.

That was the last time she saw her father and the last time she came home.

Thinking about this, Concubine Xian felt more and more unwilling.

After many years of bitterness and silence in the deep palace, what is the reason for not staying up to the status of the woman in front of you?

"If you want to save your relatives in the future, I'm afraid you won't have a chance, right?"

Concubine Xian looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment, completely unable to believe that these words came out of the other party's mouth.

But there are only two of them in this house, not even a third person, who can it be if it is not the queen mother?

I don't know if it's an illusion, the light where Xu is Queen Mother sat was a little dim, which made her expression look a little gloomy.

Such a queen mother made Concubine Xian look furious in her heart, how could there be the warmth of the first and second children sitting around reading when they first came in.

The Queen Mother stared at Concubine Xian with good eyes: "Why don't you answer?" ”

Concubine Xian became more and more unsure of the Queen Mother's thoughts, and said: "What the Queen Mother said is true, the concubine is not in good health now, and she can't withstand such bumps——"

The Queen Mother smiled: "Even if you can stand it, I'm afraid the emperor won't agree." ”

"The Queen Mother—" Concubine Xian was even more shocked.

What exactly does the Queen Mother mean? It was not easy to let Mama Chang hint that she came over to ask for peace that day......

"Concubine Xian, you know in your heart that the status of you and King Qi in the emperor's heart is not as good as before, and it can even be said that you have been disliked."

Concubine Xian couldn't sit still, got up from the pestle, and said with a pale face: "Concubine is stupid, please make it clear to the Queen Mother." ”

"Explicit?" The Queen Mother asked rhetorically.

Concubine Xian nodded: "The Queen Mother is kind and generous, and she will say this to the concubine, but the concubine is stupid and can't understand, so please make it clear." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "The mourning family has something to do, and I want to borrow your hand to do it." ”

Concubine Xian's heart jumped, and she lowered her eyes and said: "It's the honor of the concubine to be able to do things for the Queen Mother, I don't know what you command?" ”

The Queen Mother slowly took two sips of tea, put the tea cup on the table, and said unhurriedly: "The mourning family wants Fuqing's life." ”

The teacup in Concubine Xian's hand fell directly and fell to pieces, but these were not as terrifying as she was at the moment.

She took two steps back and looked at the Queen Mother in shock, as if she had never known the woman standing on the highest place.

Did she hear it wrong?

"What, scared?" The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Xian, and her tone was cold.

Concubine Xian opened her mouth: "Concubine-"

The Queen Mother sneered: "The mourning family still thinks that you have nothing to lose, and you have nothing to fear." ”

"Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't understand—"

"I don't need you to understand, the mourning family only asks you if you do it."

Concubine Xian didn't answer for a long time with a white face, and keenly caught a murderous intent from the Queen Mother's eyes.

She suddenly felt a pang in her heart and woke up: since the Queen Mother said this to her, if she didn't agree, she might not live long after leaving Cining Palace.

Realizing this, Concubine Xian bit her lip and said, "Princess Fuqing is the queen's eyeball, and the concubine may not be able to find an opportunity...... Even if you have the opportunity to do it, it's very difficult to get out of it—"

The Queen Mother smiled: "The mourning family only wants nothing to do with Cining Palace." ”

The meaning of the words is that whether Concubine Xian is dead or alive after she makes a move, she doesn't care at all.

Concubine Xian was stunned.

The Queen Mother knocked lightly on the table and spoke with pity: "Your body, I'm afraid the oil is running out, right?" ”

Concubine Xian was shocked and stared at the Queen Mother.

She has already sealed the mouth of the imperial doctor, how can the Queen Mother know her physical condition?

In the past, when she was sick and painful, she was willing to shout out to win the emperor's pity and attention, but when it really didn't work, she just wanted to hold on one more day and force herself to get better in front of others.

The old man's voice sounded again, and it sounded a little unfamiliar: "Don't you think it's cost-effective to exchange a little bit of the afterglow of the person you are going to die in exchange for the mourning family to wish King Qi a hand?" ”
