Qian Miaohong's eyes were far away, looking at the green trees outside the palace, maybe she was a complete fool in the eyes of others.

Gorgeous, still young, why should he take the rest of his life for his dead husband.

Maybe she couldn't find the answer in Miaohong's own heart, but now she could clearly feel that since Ye Yuxuan's death, her heart seemed to be still, and there was no more violent shaking. And empty.

When I dreamed back at midnight, it seemed that everything that happened in the past had been repeated, but I only remembered that the corners of Ye Yuxuan's mouth were raised at the door of Qian's house that year, and he raised his chin and said with a smile: "Girl, I have a crush on you." ”

She didn't cry when Miaohong drugged Ye Yuxuan's wine, and she didn't cry when she saw Ye Yuxuan slowly falling, but when Ye Yugui said this sentence "Why are you suffering", she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and her eyes gradually warmed.

"This is what I owe him. It is also my last reparation for him. ”

"You've done a good job, and if there's anything you want, you can try to mention it." Ye Yugui asked in a low voice.

Miaohong just shook her head when she heard this, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Master, my sister Miaolan asks you to give her a proper arrangement." ”

Ye Yugui didn't expect that her request was only this matter, so she nodded almost immediately: "Okay." ”

When she was about to get into the carriage, Miaohong turned around and asked Ye Yugui: "Master, do you have someone you love deeply?" ”

Ye Yugui replied very quickly: "No." ”

Miaohong opened her mouth, but finally turned her head away: "This is the best, because love is the most torturous thing in this world." ”

As soon as Ye Yuxuan died now, the direction of the wind in this palace suddenly changed a lot.

It turned out that the three princes and the crown prince were fighting against each other, but it was true that the prince was dominant, and it could be said that the throne was already in the bag.

It has been more than a month since Ye Yuxuan's death, but no matter how everyone investigates, they can't find out who poisoned Ye Yuxuan's drink.

And in this way, almost all the ministers who originally took refuge in the three princes changed the direction of the wind and began to curry favor with Ye Yushen in various ways.

People die every day in the palace, and it is the prince who is afraid of death, and it is gradually forgotten by people in the passage of time.

However, in January, no one in the entire palace seemed to remember the former three princes. People's hearts are sad, how can you know that the person who cried at the funeral at that time was not the person who followed Ye Yushen today to flatter.

And during this period, Ye Yugui has been waiting patiently, waiting for that person to take the initiative to find him. Recently, he has consciously revealed a lot of information to the outside world, and I believe that person should have heard the letter.

As he expected, Wang Jiao'e suddenly came to his temple one afternoon.

Ye Yugui didn't even bother to go out, just sat on the chair leisurely, watching Wang Jiao'e's gradually approaching steps.

Since Wang Jiao'e died in Ye Yuxuan, she is no longer as domineering and majestic as before. The originally black hair also grew a few strands of gray hair between the sideburns, and the tiredness at the corners of the eyes was revealed, and it seemed that he was really much older. Apparently the loss of her son had ravaged her mind.

But the fact that she can still appear in front of Ye Yugui in bright brocade clothes now means that she has come out, and she has removed the identity of Ye Yuxuan's mother, she is still the only queen of this Dasheng dynasty, and she also wants to become a more noble woman than the queen.

Ye Yugui had known that she was back, but Wang Jiao'e had come a little earlier than he had thought before, and it seemed that the desire for power eventually outweighed the pain of losing a child.

Ye Yugui and Wang Jiao'e are mother and son, but the number of times they have met in the past ten years is only a handful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are strangers.

Wang Jiao'e has also hesitated for a long time when she comes to Ye Yugui now, originally she had been immersed in the sadness of the death of the third prince and couldn't extricate herself.

In this sadness, there is actually a little regret that his long-term plan has been in vain, but at this time, Ye Yugui's existence is becoming more and more intense.

At first, she didn't have any hope for Ye Yugui, after all, this child was born a disaster, and he was imprisoned for more than ten years, and she forgot to have such a child for a long time.

When Ye Yugui was released from confinement with the drought-fighting Dafa, although Wang Jiao'e was also shocked for a while, it didn't take long for her to forget about it again, because Ye Yuxuan had reached a critical age at that time.

Later, he was afraid that Ye Yugui would affect Ye Yuxuan's development, so Wang Jiao'e resolutely pushed him to Song Wei.

Although she knew that Ye Yugui had been following Ye Yushen all these years, she never thought that he would be so smart.

The previous Northern Rebellion was ostensibly the credit of the crown prince, but in fact it was the credit of Ye Yugui. If she hadn't been told about this, I'm afraid that Wang Jiao'e would have been kept in the dark that the Seventh Prince is a disaster star for the rest of her life.

It was also at this time that Wang Jiao'e discovered the value of Ye Yugui's existence, she had already experienced the pain of losing her child, and it was impossible for the position of the queen mother to slip out of her palm.

So Wang Jiao'e quickly sorted out her sad mood in the past few days, and began to consider the feasibility of putting the bet on Ye Yugui.

Every time Wang Jiao'e sees Ye Yugui, she will not recognize it for a moment, she has never paid attention to Ye Yugui's every move, so she can roughly know Ye Yugui's current age.

Ye Yugui has inherited the best genes of himself and Ye Duanli, his facial features are as if they are half carved, although he looks a little feminine, but he is tall and strong, although his body is not fully developed, he is already taller than many adults.

Wang Jiao'e actually didn't know what appearance to use to face Ye Yugui, but now she had to make a choice. So she tried her best to put on a motherly appearance, and said gently: "Gui'er......"

Ye Yugui knew the purpose of Wang Jiao'e from the beginning, so he simply didn't go around in circles and said coldly: "Don't call it so intimate, what's the point of you just coming to pose like a mother now, what is the point of saying something directly." ”

Although Wang Jiao'e knew that Ye Yugui would hate herself, she was treated so coldly by her own son, and her heart was not very comfortable after all. But since the relationship between their mother and son is irretrievable, there is no way to do it.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart, coughed lightly twice, and put on a noble appearance on weekdays: "You also know that your third emperor brother was killed by gangsters more than a month ago. As a mother, I was powerless to investigate the murderer. ”

Ye Yugui was a little impatient: "What's the point of you talking about this here, it's not Ye Yuxuan who I killed, if you just say this nonsense, let's leave quickly." ”

Wang Jiao'e frowned and looked at Ye Yugui dissatisfied, and just wanted to reprimand, but suddenly thought of the current situation.

"Then I'll be blunt, I hope you can fight for the throne instead of the third prince."

Ye Yu pretended to look incredulous after hearing this, but in fact, he sneered in his heart.

"The throne, aren't you kidding, I'm an unfavored prince, or a well-known disaster star, why should I compete for the throne."

Wang Jiao'e expected him to say this, and still said calmly: "You and Xuan'er are my biological flesh and blood, since I can cultivate Xuan'er into a contender for the throne who can compete with the crown prince, then I can also cultivate you into a contender for the throne that is not inferior to him." ”

"My beloved queen mother, don't forget that I am now following the prince's faction."

Wang Jiao'e smiled: "Follow the prince? You are my son, I don't believe that you have been willing to follow others for so many years, no matter what merit and political achievements have been taken into the arms of others, and you will always be just a follower. ”

"What do you think would happen if I told the prince what you are saying now?"

Wang Jiao'e was still not in a hurry: "The prince is just a child in front of me, how do you think I sit on the throne of the queen, I dare to say that if there is no one in this palace who can compare with me, although Song Wei is smart, but she is still too kind-hearted, if I were her, I would not give any other prince a chance to compete for the throne from the beginning." ”

Ye Yugui lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking, and after a long time, he spoke: "How do you know that I can defeat the prince, you couldn't shake the prince's status even after trying so hard before, why are you so confident now." ”

Wang Jiao'e was already 100% sure in her heart at this time, Ye Yugui would promise her, she was really relieved, the most difficult thing in this matter was to persuade Ye Yugui to take refuge in herself, but it seemed that only a few words loosened his attitude.

"The queen mother knows how much you have helped the prince over the years, I used to wonder why the originally level-headed prince suddenly opened his mind in the past two years, not to mention anything else, the matter of the northern border, he was able to solve it satisfactorily without spending a single soldier, and now it seems that it is not all thanks to you."

Ye Yugui narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Wang Jiao'e vigilantly: "How do you know that I solved this matter behind my back." ”

"There is never an impermeable wall in this world, why do I know that you will understand sooner or later."

In the eyes of Wang Jiao'e now, Ye Yugui is not as shrewd as he seems on his face, so it shouldn't take much effort to control it.

Ye Yugui didn't continue to ask, but the loosening in his eyes was all seen by Wang Jiao'e. Also, that person in this world does not yearn for power.

Moreover, it is the dragon chair that symbolizes the highest status, and no one can refuse such a naked temptation.

"I will help you ascend to the throne and make you the next emperor of this great victory dynasty. I can give you time to think about it, after all, it requires you to betray the prince. ”

Ye Yugui frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "I'll think about it." ”

Wang Jiao'e knew that Ye Yugui's agreement was only a matter of time, but the next thing was a headache.

Although it has only been more than a month since the death of the third prince, everyone feels that no other prince is still competitive except Ye Yushen.

It is not a simple matter to regain the trust of those ministers one by one, but it is necessary to give it a go now that the matter has come to this point, Ye Yugui's reputation is not good, and it really takes a lot of words to persuade someone.

After Ye Yugui left Wang Jiao'e, he immediately put on a cold face and called out the door.

Lehi, who was outside the door, heard the movement and immediately jumped into the house through the window, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Sure enough, as the master said, the queen will not give up the throne so easily." But what do we do next? can't just be led by the queen by the nose. ”

Ye Yugui pinched the jade pendant hanging on his waist, closed his eyes and leaned on the stool, and said lazily: "Wait and see, the most important thing to do during this period is to change the opinion of the group of old stubborn people on the upper side." ”

Ye Yugui paused, and then said, "However, I believe that my queen mother will handle this matter very well. ”

"On the prince's side, what is the master going to do?"

"Leave it as it is, it's not time for a showdown."

A few days later, Wang Jiao'e rubbed her aching temples in her hall, and angrily threw away the letter in her hand.

On the back of the letter was a large word "willow".
