Because the emperor was in a hurry, Shen Zhe hurried over, and he didn't even bring Yunsheng. When he arrived at Pingshan, he made sure that the queen's mother and daughter were safe, and checked the mountain up and down again, and quickly sent a letter to the emperor to inform him that the emperor had already arrived outside the capital when he received the news.

Concubine Shugui's sedan chair followed after the imperial chariot, these days from time to time to see someone deliver letters, which must have national events, but Pingshan there was an assassination she also heard a little, at this moment about to enter the city, son Xiang Feng came to greet his mother, she said coldly: "Does your father remember Pingshan, with us, isn't it very reluctant?" ”

Xiang Feng sighed in his heart and said: "Since your father is here, don't think about other things, if your father really leaves us to go to Pingshan, your son can still deal with these words, how do you want your son to answer you at this moment." ”

Concubine Shugui's heart trembled, and she secretly clenched her fists under her wide sleeves, what she was most worried about in the past ten years was that the hearts of her sons were enveloped by Qiu Min'er, maybe the matter was not so serious, but these words had already made her uncomfortable.

At this time, there was news in front of him, saying that the second princess and the third prince came to greet her, Shuguifei leaned out and looked at it, and saw the young son and daughter-in-law saluting the emperor in front, and then came to herself, the young son was rare, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and said a few words of warmth and coldness, so she asked her son to go to the front to guard their father, and she took Qiu Jingrou to ride in the car together.

Qiu Jingrou was now dressed as a woman, sitting on one side tremblingly, the carriage swayed across the suspension bridge of the moat, through the towering gate of the capital, the officials and soldiers stood in the middle of the road, and the people were stopped at a long distance and did not get close.

Concubine Shu raised the curtain and glanced at it, chuckling: "This scene is really a long time coming." As he spoke, his eyes fell on his daughter-in-law, and when he saw that she was full of extravagance, he asked, "Are you still used to everything in the capital?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the concubine, everything is fine."

"Feng'er and you?"

"His Royal Highness treats his sons very well, and our husband and wife are very affectionate."

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her daughter-in-law's beautiful face: "Most of the girls of your Qiu family are lucky. ”

Good or bad, Qiu Jingrou doesn't know, but she is very hesitant now, on the one hand, she has to face the life, on the other hand, she actually gave birth to strange thoughts in her heart that are absolutely intolerable, and such thoughts grow unscrupulously in the bottom of her heart, which is about to erode the rational side of her life.

"How is that summer and spring rain now?" Concubine Shu asked.

Qiu Jingrou responded: "She lives in the palace, and it is inconvenient for Erchen to visit from time to time, and now Xia Chunyu's identity is embarrassing, and the Queen Mother has not been very happy, so Erchen has some scruples in his heart, and I hope that the mother will forgive me." ”

Concubine Shu didn't embarrass her daughter-in-law, but said: "You are smart, what the queen mother doesn't like, what the emperor doesn't like, you don't have to do it." Besides, compared to Hao'er's future, I would like to see you and Feng'er spread out as soon as possible, and you have been married for a while, why hasn't your body moved? You still say that you are very affectionate? ”

Qiu Jingrou lowered her face, as if she was shy and guilty, but in fact, it was lingering hatred and helplessness, she didn't want to give birth to a grandson for Concubine Shugui at all, she didn't want to do it at all.

The wheels are rolling, this is not the place to talk after all, Concubine Shu didn't say anything, just opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside the window, after more than ten years, the capital is still the original appearance, the majestic imperial city gate, just like the majesty and magnificence of her dreams.

The carriage slowly stopped, there was a sedan chair waiting inside, Concubine Shu Guifei helped her daughter-in-law's hand and walked off the frame, the emperor stood in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "The queen mother is waiting, so let's go to the Longevity Palace." ”

Concubine Shugui's face was gentle and submissive, smiled without saying a word, let go of her daughter-in-law's hand and stepped forward, I don't know if it was an unconscious move, or deliberately, she stood next to the emperor, that position belonged to the queen, Mo said that the queen was just not in the capital, that is, not in the world, and it was not the turn of a concubine to replace her.

But Xiang Ye didn't care, smiled faintly and left.

In front of the Longevity Palace, Mrs. Shen Jiang Yunshang waited with the two princesses, the two girls had no memory of Concubine Shu, when Concubine Shu left, they were all babbling, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, even Concubine Shu Guifei couldn't recognize the two children.

But seeing a pair of slim girls standing beside their cousins, imagine what they look like with Qiu Min'er, having a daughter is really enviable, and having a son and a daughter is a rare blessing, and Concubine Shu also understands that the queen is really born with a good fate.

"Sons Xiang Yuan and Xiang Qin, see Shugui Concubine Niangniang." Suddenly, the beautiful girls stepped forward and made a big salute respectfully, Shuguifei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Good boy, get up, you have grown so big, you were still so young back then." ”

On the side, Yunshang walked generously, and did not salute, but smiled kindly: "Niangniang go in quickly, the Queen Mother is waiting to see through." ”

As she spoke, everyone embraced Shuguifei into the Longevity Palace, the Queen Mother saw the old man, her eyes were hot, and she came to the front after the Shuguifei made a big salute, and saw the people who were in their prime in the past, and now they are nearly a hundred and a half years old with vicissitudes of life, and they couldn't help but cry, and choked up: "Child, I thought I wouldn't see you in this life." ”

Concubine Shu hurriedly curtsied: "It's the concubine's unfilial piety, which worries you." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here have been separated for more than ten years, holding hands and choking up, but Xiang Yuan and Xiang Qin stood calmly aside, somehow, the kind-hearted girls were not moved by such a scene. They have grown up and already know what to love, and they know very well what the meaning of this existence is, no matter what, even if the mother is unreasonable, they can only stand on the mother's side.

In this world, there are not so many Daoyi who help their relatives and don't help their relatives, not to mention that their mother is the middle palace and the queen, maybe even morality is on their mother's side.

After a long absence and reunion, Concubine Shu was sent back to Anle Palace to rest, and will meet Xia Chunyu, who claimed to be pregnant with her grandson, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with the Xiang Yuan sisters, Qin'er stayed in the Longevity Palace to take care of her grandmother, and Yuan Yuan went to the courtyard behind the imperial city to visit her grandmother.

After Mrs. Qiu came to the capital and gradually adapted to the life here, her spirit was no worse than in Yuanzhou, she was watering flowers and pruning branches in the garden at the moment, and when she saw Yuanyuan coming, she put down the scissors in her hand, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it on the child's forehead, and said lovingly: "It's not hot yet, why do you run sweaty." ”

Yuan Yuan said affectionately: "I'm in a hurry to see my great-grandmother." ”

Old Mrs. Qiu smiled: "It's still Yuan Yuan who feels sorry for me the most, come, my grandmother left you your favorite tea fruit." ”

Xiang Yuan asked: "Concubine Shu is here today, aren't you curious to ask me?" ”

Old Madam Qiu said, "Then you can talk about it." ”

I didn't want Yuan Yuan's eyes to roll, and whispered: "Grandmother, why is Concubine Shu so ......old?"

On this side, Pingshan, far away from the capital, was as quiet and quiet as ever, Shen Zhe led people to turn over the mountain again, and there was no trace of the assassin, it is likely that he left Pingshan on the same day, and now he is looking again and again, just lest there are any remnants left here.

On the contrary, Min'er has been indifferent, indifferent to this matter, and the news came today that the emperor and Concubine Shu had returned to the capital, and she was just holding a chess book, gently putting a chess piece on the chessboard, and letting people retreat after answering.

Madame Bai brought her daughter a bowl of hot tea and asked with concern: "What if Concubine Shu stays in the palace and doesn't leave?" ”

Min'er smiled: "When I want to go back, she will leave when she wants." ”

Madame Bai swallowed her saliva, although it had been so many years, she still couldn't imagine her daughter's courage and ruthlessness: "Min'er, if the second or third prince becomes the emperor, have you thought about your future and the future of your children, to put it mildly, if I am a concubine, I will definitely take revenge on you." ”

Min'er looked at her mother and smiled: "If your mother is Concubine Shugui, you won't retaliate, you didn't do anything to the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, didn't you?" But Shuguifei is Shuguifei, you are right, she may take revenge on me, so I can't give her a chance to retaliate against me, this path was chosen by myself, and I thought it out more than ten years ago. ”

At this time, the next person came to report, saying that Shen Zhe asked to see, Mrs. Bai sighed lightly, and said to prepare tea for Shen Zhe, and when she went out, she met the heroic Shen Zhe walking in, she said kindly: "The prince has worked hard these days." ”

Shen Zhe bowed down and said, "Let Mrs. be frightened, it's not the younger generation." ”

After saying goodbye to each other, Shen Zhe walked in generously, and Min'er pointed to the opposite side of the chess table and said, "Since you're here, let's play the next game of chess, I can't solve this game." ”

Shen Zhe stood aside and watched for a while, and sat down with interest, they were generous and had no scruples, and finished a game of chess quietly, just when Mrs. Bai sent tea, Shen Zhe took it and enjoyed it, Min'er smiled: "Chess is an opponent, really fun, play against yourself, I haven't reached that realm yet." ”

"Niangniang's chess skills are extraordinary." Shen Zhe smiled, "I'm afraid that the emperor is not an opponent." ”

Min'er was in a very good mood: "The emperor can't bear it." ”

Shen Zhe said yes, but then he got down to business, and mentioned the assassin, saying that in addition to looking for Pingshan, he had already checked several roads to Pingshan, and maybe he could find some clues.

But Min'er went straight to the point and asked, "Don't you have any special doubts?" ”

After a moment of silence for each other, Shen Zhe asked, "Niangniang is saying, Qiu Jingxuan?" ”

Min'er bowed: "Have you already checked, but you don't want to tell me." ”

Shen Zhe was silent, and Min'er said again: "Yuan Yuan and his affairs have affected your judgment?" ”

"Not only that, the emperor has a more long-term plan, forgive me for not saying it to my mother." Shen Zhe said calmly.

"Long-term plans?" Min'er looked at him lightly, "In order to realize that I had no concubines in the sixth palace back then, what is it for now?" ”

Shen Zhe shook his head and said nothing.

Min'er said: "Shen Zhe, if it's a critical moment, can you do something for me?" ”

"Yes."

"If one day, I don't want Qiu Jingxuan to exist in the world anymore and kill him for me." , a better reading experience comes from.!!
