Mrs. Guan's face immediately became gloomy, and she remembered that a few days ago, the queen brought a group of small palace maids to Linhua Hall to slap her.

At that time, the queen's eyes were like hooks, and she wanted to hook off Mrs. Guan's eyes, so that she didn't dare to resist, but the queen didn't care about Liu Bang's face and slapped herself in front of others. At that time, I was really afraid of the majesty of the queen's bones, there seemed to be a long-suppressed anger in her eyes, and she needed to find a place to vent, and at that time, she became the embarrassment of the queen's anger, and she was slapped twice by the queen, and it seemed that the queen still didn't understand her hatred. When she thought of the scene at that time, Mrs. Guan was still a little afraid, and she was suddenly a little frightened. It turned out that I was wrong, the queen was not cruel, but she didn't remember it for a long time, the queen didn't get angry, but she didn't take it seriously, it turned out that the queen didn't dare to move herself, she just didn't want to move.

Mrs. Guan saw the scene of that day in front of her eyes, and she was so frightened that she swallowed her saliva over and over again, feeling that her mouth was extremely dry, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

"Sister." Guan Xiuyan looked at her sister nearby, she looked like she was still very afraid, there was a panic in her eyes that she had never seen before, Guan Xiuyan didn't know what her sister was thinking.

Mrs. Guan woke up with an 'oh' sound, and still looked at her younger brother with a little trepidation.

"No, nothing." Mrs. Guan lowered her head and replied absentmindedly.

"What's wrong with my sister, I didn't ask you anything." Guan Xiuyan was very surprised by her abnormal performance, and put a hand on Mrs. Guan's shoulder. Mrs. Guan's face changed drastically, and she screamed in an instant, and shook off Guan Xiuyan's arm in a panic and fear, Xu was the shadow of Empress Lu's slap that day, and now she was afraid that she put a hand on her shoulder and asked her to mistake it for the scene of the day. Guan Xiuyan looked at Chanxin in confusion, and Chanxin shook her head helplessly.

Mrs. Guan gasped, stroked her chest, and went out with a 'whew-' sound, like a frightened bird. Biting his lip, he closed his eyes and pondered, clenching his fists nervously. The mouth is always unconsciously filled with panic and messy thoughts, "No, I don't go to Yongxiang, I, I...... I can't die in her hands, don't ......" Mrs. Guan clutched her arms tightly, making a fierce struggle between the two thoughts in her heart, and permanently eliminating the other thought.

At the end of the war in her heart, Mrs. Guan opened her eyes with a 'pout', and the panic in her eyes was much less, but there was a firm struggle to the end. Firmly glanced at Chanxin and nodded. Chanxin understands that she has already decided, even if it is a risk, she will give it a try.

Chanxin's heart seemed to be blocked, and bursts of worry and panic immediately became in her heart, and an unprecedented emptiness and indifference appeared in her eyes. He has told Mrs. Guan several times about the stakes, but Mrs. Guan has always refused to listen to herself, and she will never be able to persuade her. Standing aside with a long sigh, he picked up the cold tea on the desk and went into the back room to reheat it.

Leaving the two sisters and brothers, the hall was very quiet, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"Help me." Mrs. Guan said, "Brother, don't you have a lot of fox friends outside the palace......

Before the words fell, Guan Xiuyan pressed her words, looked like he was begging for justice, and said seriously, "Sister is wrong, what is a fox friend and dog friend, sister must not underestimate my brother." ”

Mrs. Guan was surprised, she didn't know him yet, but now she was discussing a big matter, so she didn't continue to argue with him, but just echoed him and said, "Okay, my sister is wrong." ”

Guan Xiuyan listened carefully.

"Do you want to be a Hou Ye?" Mrs. Guan said.

As soon as he heard the Hou Ye, Guan Xiuyan came to his senses, looked at his sister with a glow in his eyes, and asked anxiously with a vain smile, "Is there a way for my sister to make me the Hou Ye?" As soon as he got excited, when he thought of the emperor's policy of sealing the king and marquis, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and muttered with drooping eyes, "Forget it, the emperor won't be a marquis easily." ”

Mrs. Guan hurriedly took his hand and said, "As long as you help my sister succeed, my sister will have the final say on whether to make a marquis or not." ”

Jiang Xin looked at the sister in front of him suspiciously, as if her sister was no longer the simple little girl she used to be, seeing that her sister looked abnormal when she spoke, Guan Xiuyan said that something important must have happened. Guan Xiuyan weighed his ability for fear that he would not be able to help his sister, so he gradually moved away from Mrs. Guan's eager eyes for him, withdrew his hands from his sister's hands, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Help my sister collect evidence of the queen's relatives outside the palace, it is better to be more serious, and the emperor cannot forgive the matter, once it is discovered, report it to me immediately." Mrs. Guan solemnly followed him, her tone was very serious, and she didn't allow for a little sloppiness, which made Guan Xiuyan a little inexplicably worried, I don't know why my sister asked him to collect evidence of the queen's relatives' mistakes, is it because he has a grudge against the queen? If she is discovered by the queen, will my sister still be alive?

"Why collect evidence of the mistakes made by the queen's relatives? Sister wants to be a queen? Guan Xiuyan grabbed her sister's hand and asked urgently. felt that the situation was serious, and had to ask the reason carefully, and the smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by doubts and worries.

"You don't care about this, you just have to do it well, and I won't treat you badly after the deed is done." Mrs. Guan smiled dexterously and withdrew her hand from her younger brother's hand, not telling the truth, afraid that he would not do it.

"Sister, do you still doubt your brother's loyalty to you? Is there anything you can't say to me? Is my sister afraid that if things don't succeed, my brother will confess to you? Guan Xiuyan was a little angry that his sister hid it from him.

Mrs. Guan smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, brother, if you believe in your sister, don't ask if it's okay, my sister doesn't believe you, you are the only relative of my sister in the world, and my sister won't disbelieve you." ”

While talking, Chanxin came out with tea, put the tea on a few tables, poured tea for Mrs. Guan and Guan Xiuyan, and then went to the apse to add some delicious snacks to put on a few cases.

Guan Xiuyan said with a firm face, "Okay, my brother will help you this time." ”

Mrs. Guan smiled at this time, and the stone in her heart finally landed, and she picked up a few snacks on the case and fed them to her younger brother opposite. For a long time, the sister and brother did not have such intimacy, and for a while Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a while by his sister's sudden feeding, and then showed a long-lost eager smile, opened his mouth and ate the snack that his sister fed him personally, laughed, and also took a piece of dim sum and fed it to his sister, Mrs. Guan was also stunned, and then also smiled, opened her mouth to eat the dim sum fed by her brother, and felt that this dim sum was really sweet. The sister and brother ate sweetly like this, only to see Guan Xiuyan eating a mouth full of star scum, Mrs. Guan took out the silk silk she brought with her to wipe the corners of her mouth for him, Guan Xiuyan just smiled like a younger brother who was favored, and picked up the tea on a few cases and drank it with a clatter.

Between the sisters and brothers, Guan Xiuyan said solemnly, "Actually, if you want to say that the queen's relatives have made mistakes, there is really a relatively bad thing that happened to them in Chang'an City recently. Guan Xiuyan was eating snacks, drinking tea, and said this vaguely, which attracted Mrs. Guan's interest, and she stared at her bright eyes.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Mrs. Guan couldn't wait to ask.

"I'm used to wandering around the street, and I saw Jiancheng Hou taking Lu Ling to a small farmer's house often in the past few days, but it didn't take long to come out, but he came to the farmer's house again in a day or two, and he still didn't stay long and came out again, and every time he went in and out, he took something like a gift. It is said that Lu Ling killed someone, Jiancheng Hou took Lu Ling to apologize, but the farmer didn't seem to buy it, every time Jiancheng Hou brought something intact and took it out, it seems that the farmer insisted on an explanation, unfortunately, on the day the emperor canonized the princess, Jiancheng Hou entered the palace, but I don't know if he told the queen about it. The younger brother dared to be sure that the emperor didn't know, otherwise the emperor would definitely deal with it, but this matter was in a lot of trouble on Chang'an Street, and the palace might not be able to hear it. I'm afraid that some people deliberately blocked the news about the queen's family. Guan Xiuyan said casually.

Mrs. Guan nodded, a mysterious and weird smile slowly appeared on her face, and then she clapped her hands and stood up, "Okay, I just waited for her handle, I didn't expect it to be so soon." Jianhou is a rich and arrogant person, he has always looked down on the people, he is not a person who is good at apologizing to the common people, he must have told the queen after entering the palace, the queen told him to do this, the queen has always been far-sighted, and he can see the end from the beginning. The corner of Mrs. Guan's right mouth pulled out an arc, and a mysterious smile appeared in her eyes.

"What does my sister want to do?" Guan Xiuyan drank tea and looked up to ask his sister.

Mrs. Guan looked at him, but smiled silently. Every time she laughs like this, the time when others are unlucky will come.

Moved to the gate of the palace, looked at the direction of Changxin Palace, smiled to himself, and silently told himself: The sadder you are, the happier I am, the more angry you are, the happier I am, and the slap will pay you back sooner or later.

Guan Xiuyan saw that her sister was becoming more and more mysterious, as if she couldn't see through it, and she hadn't seen it for a few years, but she had changed so much. I can't keep up with what my sister thinks, and I almost feel that it's not her brother. Looking at her sister's back, she is becoming more and more mature, more and more scheming, and there are some strangers, Guan Xiuyan was suddenly startled, a coolness invaded her back, and she was stunned on the mat. I don't know if it's wrong for me to help my sister for a while. I couldn't understand my sister for a long time, Guan Xiuyan still felt so tired, pinched the Qingming acupoint at the corner of her eye, and felt that this was politics or palace fighting? I suddenly felt that it was better to be outside the palace, carefree, and not to worry. He lowered his head to appreciate the taste of tea, and every time he took a sip, he said to himself: The tea in the palace is really of the highest quality, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

Putting the tea on the table, I noticed more clearly that there were needlework things, cloth brocade silk, and child-sized clothes models on the case. Guan Xiuyan remembered that when he first entered the palace gate, he saw his sister concentrating on fiddling with something, it seemed that this was completely a baby's costume, isn't it......

Guan Xiuyan reached out and picked up these fabrics and looked at them, looking left and right, the cloth was soft and smooth, and it felt very good. happily said to her sister at the entrance of the hall, "Sister, are you—are you pregnant?" "Guan Xiuyan has never heard of her sister having a child in Chang'an in the past few years, and all she heard is how her sister is not favored.

Mrs. Guan came over with a spring breeze on her face, sat down lightly, the smile on her face never stopped, and she stroked her lower abdomen and smiled happily, "You're going to be an uncle, are you happy?" ”

Guan Xiuyan excitedly held her sister's hand, and tears almost burst out of her eyes, "Am I really going to be an uncle?" Sister, congratulations, you've finally come out. Guan Xiuyan felt that this good news really made him excited, and his excited mind went blank.

Mrs. Guan nodded with tears in her eyes, and continued to caress her abdomen, and instantly became cautious with a maternal hair.

At sunset, at dinner, the sisters and brothers got together again for a big meal, Guan Xiuyan stuffed his mouth, and said that the things in the palace were better than the outside, Mrs. Guan stroked his back and told him to eat slowly, and gave his brother the best dishes. Guan Xiuyan smiled at her sister, looked at the table full of delicacies, and said while eating, "There are so many delicious foods, does my sister usually eat alone?" ”

Mrs. Guan smiled with a smile of loss, "Eat quickly." ”

"Hmm", Guan Xiuyan hula hula, eating, "At home, although there are so many people serving me, I feel lonely." ”

"My brother hasn't gotten married yet?"

Guan Xiuyan's chopsticks for eating stopped, his mouth was full of bulging, and he continued to chew again after a while, his bright eyes suddenly turned dim, and he said in a low voice, "Married a ...... He's dead. Guan Xiuyan said this, as if she saw the true feelings between her husband, and said, "She is sixteen years old, and we are less than two months old...... Guan Xiuyan smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it, eat." With that, ticking tears fell into the plate.

Mrs. Guan stroked her back and comforted, "Don't be sad, she is the red of autumn, destined to fall into mud, and when the flowers bloom, you will see her reborn." ”

"Hmm." Guan Xiuyan held back a word.

"The emperor said let me persuade you, saying that it was the first decision in the country, and you should be thrifty and self-disciplined, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "If the family has money, it is better to help the down-and-out people in Gyeonggi, no matter what happens, go back and change it." ”

Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded. He told the emperor to know so much, and a cold sweat hit his back.
