In the twilight of spring, the rain fell one after another, pouring on the huge plantain leaves, making a tinkling sound, especially loud in the middle of the night, the rain became heavier and heavier, as if the sky had opened like a hole in the sky, and even the newly opened peonies in the imperial garden were fluttering in the rainy night.

In the dark night, a young woman walked out of the corner door, with a big hood covering her face, and a grandmother next to her held an umbrella to follow, the thin oil-paper umbrella could not cover all of them, and the raindrops dropped on the young woman's shoulders from time to time.

When the queen wrapped in a big cloak and walked into the secret prison where Concubine Qin was imprisoned, Concubine Qin was serving a cup of tea under the service of the palace people, and was about to lie down on the white piping fox fur to sleep well.

All the guards in the damp and gloomy cell were dismissed, and the woman's slender back was wrapped in a thick quilt, and it was obvious that this twilight of spring was still extremely permeable for a cell that never saw the sun.

The faint collision of the ears and the jade emitted a nice rhythm, which made people can't help but feel a chill down their spines in such a dark night, the mother-in-law brought the lamp closer, and the faint light shone on Concubine Qin's body in the cell, Concubine Qin's body trembled slightly, and the fear in her heart made her dare not turn around easily.

"Concubine Qin, this palace knows that you didn't sleep, go back and look at this palace."

The queen's disdainful voice was mixed with a hint of mockery, a sarcastic smile slowly emerged on her lips, and a face was reflected in the dark corner of the cell, like a cannibalistic ghost rakshasa.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Concubine Qin finally couldn't hold it anymore, she slowly turned around, supported the ground and sat up slowly, her eyes full of fear, perhaps the woman's innate sixth sense was telling her that danger was coming.

"You don't have to look around, the people in this whole dungeon won't open their eyes until tomorrow morning." The queen looked at Concubine Qin's every move with some gloom.

"Why? Why did you come to me? Why not someone else? So many women in the palace are your opponents, why did you find me? Concubine Qin's tone was a little flustered, even though she was trying to calm herself.

"Huh.. Concubine Qin is really joking with this palace! Because only you know the secrets of this palace! It was Concubine Qin who could hear the conversation between the palace and the grandmother in the palace that day, right? There was more seduction in the queen's voice, like a seductive charm.

"I, what day, I don't know what you're talking about."

Concubine Qin's heart fluctuated, and she looked at the ruthlessness hidden under the queen's kind face with some despair, she denied it and shook her head again and again.

On that day, the emperor had just named the Nine Emperors as the King of Yongshou, and the queen sent the left and right maids to talk about the matter privately with the grandmothers around her, talking about the queen's inability to have children, and by the way, she couldn't help but talk about some old things about the second prince.

But Concubine Qin was instructed by the prince to tell the queen about this matter and probe the queen's mouth, who would have thought that she had inadvertently learned this shocking secret, her first reaction at that time was to leave immediately.

But at that moment, the cat that ran out of nowhere jumped and threw a vase on the steps, and the sound alarmed the people who spoke in the house.

After she hid in the rockery in a panic, Mama came out and saw that it was the cat that broke the vase, so she went back indoors, and after waiting for a while, Concubine Qin staggered back to her palace with some soft steps.

Looking at Concubine Qin's stunned appearance, the queen smiled slightly: "But you don't know, after you hid in the rockery, a wipe of dress was hung by weeds, and Mama said that it was a cat making trouble, just to break the suspicion in your heart and wait for you to come out by yourself." ”

Concubine Qin's eyes widened in shock, she looked at the queen in disbelief, and then looked at the old lady beside the queen, at this moment the deep and shallow wrinkles on her face were laughing at herself, and her arrogant temperament could hardly stand the contempt of this rough subordinate.

"Humph! So what? I discovered your secret, deceived the king, mutilated the prince, killed the concubine, and pretended to be pitiful, it's really good acting, you can deceive everyone in this palace, but why was I found out? ”

Concubine Qin had a plan in her heart, her tone hardened a little, she stood up and walked in the direction of the queen, and continued: "At this time, I have already informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he placed me here and ordered someone to take care of me, if something happens to me and the dragon in my belly, the first thing the prince thinks of will definitely be the queen mother." ”

The queen looked at her triumphant expression, and her eyes were full of ridicule, "It's really a * and you have to flaunt your great achievements!" Concubine Qin is locked up in this secret prison, so she probably doesn't know what's going on outside, right? When the Japanese palace took someone to beat up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in your mouth, if the prince had known about it, how could he be speechless and let others insult him. ”

"You're just one of his many women, do you really think you're getting a different look? Don't think that you filthy things don't know about this palace, you can be happy with the prince Yushui today, and he can be happy with any of the guards in this palace tomorrow, who do you think will believe you? Even the maid Bi'er beside you is already in the hands of this palace. ”

The queen's smile did not decrease by half, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in her deep and sophisticated eyes, she didn't see clearly who the figure was that day at all, and she didn't move for a long time just because she didn't want to startle the snake, there was still a prince behind Concubine Qin who couldn't figure out the way out, and now she wanted to deceive this Concubine Qin, but she didn't expect it to be her.

"Concubine Qin, Concubine Qin, you are really a caring person, your son and the third prince are honest and kind, if you settle down, sooner or later there will be a day when you will come out, how to count you as a concubine, in the future, if the third prince has the ability to protect himself, he will definitely not let you suffer.

But you yourself got on the thief ship of the prince, and you also took your innocence, it's really stupid, let this palace say what! The emperor has long known about this, and there is no good end for you to live, for the sake of the royal blood in your abdomen, it is better to... This palace is here to give you a ride today, do you say? ”

Concubine Qin watched the queen open the lock, the queen walked towards her like a deadly black and white impermanence, her eyes full of horror were exposed, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she shook her head and retreated step by step.

"Don't, don't kill me, don't..."

The queen's hands are as white as jade, small and beautiful, but at this moment, the green tendons are bursting out, and her eyes are full of the pleasure of watching others struggle in her own hands, gradually... Concubine Qin's face was purple, her eyes were white, and the two hands that were tightly holding the queen's wrist finally slowly fell, stopped fluttering, and the person was completely lifeless.

As soon as the queen let go of her hand, Concubine Qin's rag-like body fell on the fox fur, and the queen took the handkerchief handed by the old grandmother to wipe her hands, and said, "Mama, give her the ointment to remove stasis, let's go." ”

Concubine Qin's eyes widened quietly, the quilt was tightly covered on her body, everything was restored to its original state as it had just been, the cell was surprisingly quiet, as if nothing had happened, only heavy rain poured down between heaven and earth, leaving no trace.

In the prince's mansion, which was as bright as day, the third prince spoke out a little anxiously, "Brother Huang, can you release my mother concubine tomorrow?" The mother concubine is now weak, and she can't let the prince have an accident. ”

"His Royal Highness knows, tomorrow I will let Concubine Qin out, and besides, His Royal Highness has not abused Concubine Qin, although she has been in a secret prison for a few days, her food and clothing are all good, no different from being in the palace, you can rest assured!"

Looking at the prince's impatient face, the third prince felt a little relieved, and said slightly: "Then the younger brother will step back first, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to greet the concubine." ”

The crown prince did not speak, but just waved his hand, and the third prince walked out.

In the early morning of the second day, the father-in-law walked into the iron prison door, looked at the food that had been sent before, and put it aside, his heart was uneasy, he bowed to the lying man, and said a few words of comfort, but Concubine Qin just lay down like that and did not answer the words of the little father-in-law.

So the little father-in-law took the food away, went to the small kitchen to warm it up, and then respectfully placed it on the low table behind Concubine Qin, he looked at Concubine Qin, who maintained her original posture, and tiptoed out.

"Huh? Isn't this Gonggong Liu? Why don't you serve your master, what's wrong with this being depressed? A tall guard approached and met the little father-in-law who had delivered the meal.

"Don't say that, the master of our family, he doesn't say a word to our family all day long, and our family doesn't dare to disturb, and now I don't know what kind of temper I have, the food is hot twice, and I still don't move the chopsticks."

Gonggong Liu was also extremely depressed, how could the master who usually served him talk to these subordinates, but the one inside, if it weren't for the sake of her being pregnant with a dragon, how could he run for her so diligently! Those who enter this place will survive half to death if they are not crazy, let alone those who do not talk to people all day long.

"Father-in-law Liu, don't take it to heart, I'm here to help you with this, you don't have to serve this in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order to send the mother back to the palace to be raised."

As soon as the guard's words fell, Gonggong Liu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he couldn't hide the joy of joy, and he said in surprise: "Is it?" Then please come here, I will open the door immediately and let the mother go back to the palace to rest. ”

The two walked to the cell door with a smile, and the guard glanced at the steaming food inside, and the thick brocade quilt, and then looked at the pure white thick fox fur, and knew that the little father-in-law was not lying, and his smile at him became a little more real.

The door of the cell was opened, and the squeak did not make Concubine Qin, who was lying on her side, move, and the little father-in-law and the guard only thought that she was still sulking, and then said, "Niangniang, are you awake?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his subordinates to take you out, and now it's too peaceful outside. ”

The guard's words were like playing the piano to a cow, Concubine Qin didn't even move her buttocks, and the guard looked at her father-in-law, who was also looking at her, and her father-in-law gave him a 'sure enough' look.

"Niangniang has been lying like this all morning, and her posture has not changed, Niangniang, it is not good for the prince to go on like this!"

The little father-in-law was still thinking of using the prince to get close to Concubine Qin, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, the guards looked at him in surprise, and then stepped into the cell in two steps and three steps, and gently pushed Concubine Qin's body, and Concubine Qin's staring eyes and dead face appeared in front of him like that.
