On the way home, Cen Muning kept her head hanging and kept silent. The scene of the queen rolling down the jade steps replayed in her mind over and over again. Her heart was particularly dull, if she hadn't chosen the day to sacrifice to the heavens and aroused the queen mother's resentment towards the emperor, the queen would not have rolled down the jade steps so excitedly, the dragon fetus in her womb was only afraid of being more auspicious.

"His Royal Highness King Ruiming, please stay—"

Behind him, Wang Jing, the inner chamberlain, rode a fast horse and chased after him with a dead face. "His Royal Highness King Qi Ruiming, the Queen Mother is afraid that it will be ...... I'm afraid it's not good. Your Majesty, please be sure to return to the palace and accompany the Queen Mother......"

Yin Li's eyebrows tightened, and he had an ominous premonition. "Master......"

"U-turn." Zhuang Chen's cold voice had no temperature, but it showed a hint of eagerness.

Qingli had to whisper to Cen Mu Ning in his ear: "Princess, we are afraid that we will be trapped in the palace when we enter the palace this time, do you have anything to prepare for the slaves?" ”

Cen Mu Ning shook his head: "It's not the first time I've been trapped in the palace, and this time it won't be any different." ”

Qingli saw that the princess was calm and calm, and did not show any uneasiness, so her heart was a little relieved. "The slave will protect the princess well and never leave."

In the inner hall of the Queen Mother, there is a very strong bloody atmosphere.

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to breathe. It's already this time, and the Queen Mother is "terminally ill" at all, and it seems that the pulse is indeed as the Queen Mother said at the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. She simply fell for the calculations of others.

This kind of matter involving royal secrets, how dare these people come out of their mouths half a word.

"Good calculation." The moment Zhuang Yanzhou saw Cen Muning, he said these three words with a smile.

His smile, as if carved into his face, was full of resentment. "It was you who poisoned the queen mother, but you came to frame me. It also caused the queen to roll down the jade steps. I really regret that I had the kindness of that day, and I left you as a scourge. ”

"Brother Huang, you can eat things indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." Zhuang Chenchen stood in front of Cen Mu Ning, and his tone was cold. "The princess of this king will never allow others to slander her."

"Good, good." Zhuang Jiezhou clapped his hands three times in a row: "What a plaice is deeply affectionate." Cen Muning, do you really think he is here to protect you? Can you see his intentions in this matter? ”

Cen Mooning smiled slightly, without the slightest hint of fear: "The emperor's words are so profound, the concubine naturally can't understand it." But the concubine knows a truth very well, the royal family is just a step under the feet of power and glory. Stepping on stability is the best support for each other, but once it is not so stable, the first thing to bear the brunt is this insignificant affection. At that time, the mother was more precious than the son, and the queen mother's mind was only for you and her own glory. Now, the emperor's wings are hard, and he is no longer a chess piece that the queen mother can control, of course, the queen mother has to plan for herself and bring her mother's family, why not for future comfort. It's a pity that the last thing the emperor wants to see is that the queen mother has other plans, afraid that she can help you up and shake you. Once the balance of relying on each other is broken, you can see each other's ugly faces......"

Speaking of this, Cen Muning took a deep breath: "It's only a matter of time before the emperor and the queen mother turn their faces. After all, no monarch is willing to put his country in the hands of others. However, it is inappropriate for the emperor to blame the concubine at this time! The person who pierced this layer of window paper is a concubine, but if you don't have such a ruthless heart, how can the concubine's body be pierced, not to mention, whether to make the emperor fall into a situation of unkindness and filial piety, killing his mother and rebelling, it is the queen mother's own decision, and what does it have to do with the concubine? ”

"Shut up!"

This cold drink, suddenly, really startled Cen Muning, and her heart trembled.

She turned her face and saw Cen Yun staring at her with a fierce light, and she was actually in a good mood. "Father is here, too."

"It's all the incompetence of the criminal ministers, who actually trained such a daughter, and asked the emperor to punish the crime." Cen Yun bowed to the emperor, but the afterglow at the end of his eyes swept sharply across King Ruiming's face: "Your Highness is also here." ”

King Ruiming replied to him tepidly: "My father-in-law is really majestic, and I don't even care about the princess of this king." Yes, she used to be your daughter, but now, how can she teach you what you want? ”

These words were obviously not given to Cen Yun down the steps, his face burned suddenly, and he hung his head in embarrassment. Weichen just didn't restrain himself for a while. But whether it is the concubine of Weichen or the princess of King Ruiming, they should respect the queen mother and the emperor, how can they give birth to a poisonous plan because of their own selfishness and disturb this pool of still water. ”

"The father's words, the daughter does not understand." Cen Muning raised her chin slightly and said, "My daughter is not talented, she just learned some pharmacology from her mother, so when the Queen Mother summoned her for questioning, she said anything." But after all, her daughter is not a royal doctor, and she is not proficient in the ability to cure diseases and save lives, so how can she make the Queen Mother say those words. It is precisely because these are the queen mother's own thoughts that her daughter does not dare to stop it, otherwise it would not be the following offense. The father was really going to be punished. ”

"You ......" Cen Yun was not lightly angry, and his eyes widened as if he wanted to eat people: "You spread rumors, framed the emperor, and made the queen roll down the jade steps, if something happens to the dragon, can you afford to be offended?" ”

"Father, are you confused?" Cen Muning had to remind: "In front of everyone's eyes, it was the Queen Mother who spurted blood and fell to the ground, and the emperor was worried that the Queen Mother would come down from the jade steps." And the queen mother is worried about the emperor, so she will lose her footing and roll down the jade steps. From beginning to end, her daughter was obediently and quietly accompanied by His Royal Highness King Ruiming, maintaining her due posture and etiquette, and did not move at all. Even if the emperor wants to punish the crime, he has to come up with a reason to convince everyone. You can't kill people according to your own preferences, wouldn't that confirm the title of the unscrupulous king. ”

"You ......" Cen Yun suddenly felt that his heart was extremely tight, as if the breath inhaled was difficult to swallow smoothly, and it was pushed out by the anger in his chest. So much so that his whole face was suffocated and blackened, he stared, and pointed at Cen Muning with one hand. It's a pity that he couldn't say a complete sentence in the end, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Brother Huang, my father-in-law is old, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to do his best, and his words will not be able to reach his meaning. Please also look at the thin face of your brother and order someone to send him back to the house for treatment. At this time, the imperial doctor in the palace was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him. When King Ruiming's words fell, he glanced at Yin Li on the side.

Yin Li's people quickly walked in and carried Cen Yun out.

Cen Muning thought to herself, this old fox is really cunning, afraid of the emperor's punishment, and afraid of offending King Ruiming, this trick of pretending to be sick is not bad. But she still read it in her mother's face, and did not expose it, but just watched Cen Yun being carried out with a worried face, and finally turned around to look at the emperor.

"Since the concubine became Princess Ruiming, she has become the bullseye in this palace. Several times, it was either the princess's troubles, or the queen mother's sanctions, or it was almost broken by the emperor...... At that time when she was struggling in the ice cellar, the concubine didn't think about dying, and she didn't have to suffer if she died, but the reason why she didn't die was to see what the building should look like. Tomorrow, oh no, it may not be long before the whole imperial city will spread the rumor that the emperor had murdered his mother because of his own selfish desires, and then all your people will become the force of insight to accuse you and poke you in the back. No matter how you wash your name, the Queen Mother will not be able to return to heaven after all. Yanguan Yushi will not let you go, a disobedient emperor, isn't this more interesting than death? So the concubine can endure any hardship. ”

"Hahaha......" Zhuang Xianzhou suddenly sneered, his voice was sharp and harsh: "Cen Muning, I'm afraid you forgot what you said when you knelt in front of me for the first time, right?" In order to live, why don't you wag your tail and beg for mercy on me, and even use your innocence to buy me, is the palace sand on your wrist still there? ”

"Despicable." Cen Muning didn't expect him to say such things in order to frame himself. She stretched out her wrist and smiled lightly: "Where is there any Shougong Sand?" Your Majesty, look carefully! ”

The sleeve was pushed up, and her snow-white arm revealed a red dot. "This is a cinnabar mole, a cinnabar mole that was brought from the mother's womb. Use this to buy the emperor? Don't you think it's ridiculous? That time it was the queen mother who almost took the life of the concubine, and the concubine was taken back to the imperial study by the emperor. ”

Zhuang Chenchen held Cen Muning's wrist and gently pulled down his sleeve. "Brother Huang, even if you are rich all over the world, the women of the whole world are in your pocket...... The princess of this king, but the heart will never go to you. You'd better throw in the towel. ”

Cen Muning didn't know if Zhuang Chenchen had confidence in her, or if she resented Zhuang Xianzhou too much, so she would say these words so affectionately.

"Your Majesty, it's not good...... The queen mother's ...... It's red......" When Qingping ran in, her hands were covered with blood. "Your Majesty, please, go see Niangniang, go see Niangniang......"

Zhuang Zhou's heart tightened, he couldn't care about anything, and ran out directly.

At this moment, Cen Muning saw at least one thing clearly. No matter how ruthless Zhuang Zhou's heart is, he is sincere to the queen. It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover, and the queen finally did not suffer these sufferings in vain.

"Princess." Raid Yue walked out of the inner compartment with a cold expression. "The Queen Mother, please come in and speak."

"The queen mother is awake?" Zhuang Chenchen stepped forward with great interest.

Xi Yue saw him stop: "The queen mother said that she just wanted to see the princess." Please also ask His Royal Highness King Ruiming to wait here. ”

"I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't be able to support it for long." Seeing that Cen Muning didn't move, he had to urge: "If the princess doesn't want to leave regrets, let's go in as soon as possible." ”

Cen Muning listened to her words and walked into the queen mother's inner compartment.

"Cen Muning, the mourning family never thought that it would be you who killed the mourning family...... Your mother deserves to die, and she didn't die because of me. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said: "You can kill the mourning family, but you can't take revenge, and your mother is still dead...... You really deserve it! Deserve! ”
