Shaohua didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she woke up, her first reaction was that there was something wrong with the tea!

When she realized that it was dark in front of her, she suddenly felt a thrill, and immediately came to her senses, and subconsciously wanted to touch her stomach. The baby in her belly seemed to sense her awakening and turned around, making her feel safe.

Luckily, the kid is fine!

While Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly realized a very serious problem: it was not so much that she had no strength, but that she did not start the bullet at all. At some point, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was not stuffed, but she tried to open her mouth to speak, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.

This must be a dream, this must be a dream!

Shaohua comforted herself silently in her heart, closing her eyes again, thinking that as soon as she woke up, everything would disappear. Even if Yan Kaizhi is not there, there must still be Mrs. Yan, at least Su Jin. As soon as Su Jin's name appeared in her mind, Shaohua couldn't help but open her eyes again, and it was still dark all around, she twisted her body, and soon found that she had hit the four walls. This can't be a dream, she was just worried about Empress Dowager He's sudden summons alone, so she asked Su Jin to find Mrs. Yan.

As she expected, after some politeness, she took a sip of the teacup, and soon felt that the world was spinning, and her eyes were dark, and then she was unconscious.

However, what made Shaohua puzzled was that she herself had been vigilant and secretly warned herself not to disturb anything in the Queen Mother's bedroom, especially food. However, she still can't figure out why she wants to drink tea so badly.

The more nervous he is, the calmer he becomes, strictly speaking, it is not the first time for Shaohua to be locked up in a small black room like this, but this encounter is more special. If Su Jin is reliable, presumably Mrs. Yan should soon find out that she is not there, and she will come to find the Empress Dowager when the time comes. Although it was dark all around, I didn't know what time it was, but judging from the rhythm of five meals a day, her stomach was not hungry, and it was obvious that she had not been asleep for long.

Shaohua tried to struggle to do it, but before she could sit up straight, she found that the top of her head had touched a hard object. In this way, the place she was trapped in was not a box, but from the four walls she could touch, it was more like the space under the bed.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Shaohua's mind, if a person as big as her was carried out, she would definitely be discovered. Maybe before she hides, she may meet Mrs. Yan, or someone else, so she should still be in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

If she guessed correctly, maybe it was under the Queen Mother's bed.

This thought made Shaohua feel a little at ease, at least knowing his own situation, and not being afraid of the unknown space. However, what did Empress Dowager He lock her up for, isn't it enough for her to be in the harem?

Shaohua was a little skeptical of her initial thoughts, she initially thought that Hongyi had asked Yan Kaizhi to deal with tricky and dangerous matters, so that he would have no worries about leaving them in the palace. But now it seems that it is more like detaining them and restraining Yan Kaizhi's actions.

She didn't care about the political affairs of the imperial court, she only heard Youhan say that the capital has been full of people from the He family recently, if it weren't for Hongyi to be the emperor, she thought she was going to repeat Hongwen's old path. Shaohua reprimanded Youhan for having ears and no mouth, the He family is the maiden family of the Queen Mother and the Queen, and it is normal for the Marquis to worship the Prime Minister and enter the Jingli Mansion. Although the incident of Chengde Building made the He family lose a lot of face, Hongyi still gave a lot of rewards to the He family in Beijing to make up for it.

Could it be that Yan Kaizhi went out this time because of the Chengde Building, didn't he discover some secret of the He family, so the Empress Dowager He wanted to lock her up as a hostage.

However, why is she only one of them, Mrs. Yan is Yan Kaizhi's mother, shouldn't she be a better hostage, and she won't be worried about brotherhood at this time.

Shaohua twisted his hands and tried to untie the rope with his mouth, but faintly heard a string of eager footsteps and a slight sound of talking. Shaohua couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, so he could only hold his breath and listen to the slightest movement.

"Queen Mother, Wu Niang!" Mrs. Yan's face was stern, her eyebrows were angry, and she turned to the Empress Dowager He who was following behind her, and her tone was very serious.

"Presumptuous!" The palace maid beside the Queen Mother shouted loudly, but it provoked ridicule from Mrs. Yan's raised eyebrows.

She even dared to speak loudly even the queen mother, how could she be restrained by the reprimand of a little palace maid. Mrs. Yan looked at Empress Dowager He coldly, only to see that her face was as steady as Mount Tai, her eyebrows were not shocked, and she waved her hand to signal the palace maid to retreat. The palace maid was stunned for a moment, bowed her head and bowed, and quietly retreated with a belly of anger.

At this time, Empress Dowager He smiled unhurriedly: "I said that she went back, but my sister didn't believe it, this time you even looked at my inner room, you should believe it." ”

Mrs. Yan smiled coldly, if she really took Empress Dowager He's words seriously, then she would be a fool.

"Is the Queen Mother refusing to let go?" As soon as Shaohua and Empress Dowager He's people left, Su Jin immediately ran to talk to Mrs. Yan, after all, this harem belonged to the He family, and Su Jin didn't dare to guarantee that Mrs. Yan would have any way. But Shaohua's nervous expression just now, she was also a little worried about her.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yan followed her when she heard the letter, but Empress Dowager He said that she had already gone back.

Mrs. Yan was suspicious, so she had to go back to the accommodation to find Shaohua, but Su Jin's reply to her was that she didn't see Shaohua at all.

Mrs. Yan was furious, and immediately rushed to the Empress Dowager He to ask for someone, according to Mrs. Yan's habit of being unimpeded in the Empress Dowager's dormitory on weekdays, no one stopped her at all, so she went straight to the inner room. It's just that two consecutive slams in the air made her heart shiver even more, and when her son left, she told her that this incident might disturb the foundation of the He family and make them extremely careful in the palace.

"What my sister said, where can I hide people here, maybe she ran somewhere to play, I asked people to look for it everywhere. After all, the harem is so big, if I go out alone, I have to get lost. Empress Dowager He spoke slowly and logically, as if she regarded Shaohua as a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Do you have to force everyone in our Yan family to death to be willing?" Mrs. Yan gritted her teeth.

Empress Dowager He looked at her with a fierce expression, and said sarcastically: "Sister, do you know, just by what you say, I can put you in prison now." ”

Mrs. Yan laughed instead, "Okay, you can directly lock me up with Wu Niang, multiple hostages, it's better for you to talk to Kai about the conditions, isn't it?" ”

How could she not know about Empress Dowager He's intentions, Yan Kaizhi went out on the emperor's orders. Empress Dowager He didn't want to have a conflict with her son, so she had to take Yan Kai as a hand, knowing that he was dead set on the emperor, Empress Dowager He used Shaohua to threaten, or to use the child in Shaohua's belly to threaten.

Empress Dowager He was a little displeased with her laughter, but Mrs. Yan became even more unscrupulous, her eyes were fixed on Empress Dowager He, and her tone became frivolous.

"Didn't the Queen Mother just take Lanzhi's life to force me to help you, and then use Kaizhi's life to force Lanzhi to make peace, and now a Wuniang plus a child is not just right to use it to blackmail Kaizhi."

Mrs. Yan smiled a little hideously, and the smile made the Empress Dowager He feel a little frightened, she pretended to be calm and walked to the side and sat down, "I didn't let Lanzhi make peace, she took the initiative to beg me." Even though Lanzhi was well protected by her mother and brother, she knew very well in her heart that her family's life was actually in the hands of the Queen Mother.

"With the current status of the He family, isn't the Queen Mother still satisfied, don't you have to change your surname, you are willing!" Mrs. Yan's words made Empress Dowager He's face change suddenly, and she looked at Mrs. Yan sharply, and the two did not give in.

However, Empress Dowager He retracted her gaze, "That's not it, it's just that Erlang's ambition is too big, and even his mother-in-law and father-in-law can't tolerate it." ”

Mrs. Yan smiled clearly, "Then why don't you say that the He family makes Erlang uneasy." ”

Empress Dowager He glanced at her, "What is he worried about, will the He family usurp his position?" But he, I don't know who he has listened to, and he actually regards the He family as an enemy. She adjusted her breathing and became much calmer, "I don't blame Kaizhi, after all, he is just doing his best to be loyal to a courtier, but the worst thing about him is to drill the horns of the bull." If he hadn't forgotten, his father was still a member of our He family's army, and if he wanted to be loyal, he should also be loyal to our He family. ”

The words were a little excited, Empress Dowager He's whole face became slightly red, she looked at Mrs. Yan without saying a word, and sighed helplessly, "Sister, you and I have grown up together since childhood, and I treat you better than any sister of the He family." Even if I am the queen mother, I only allow you to enter and leave my bedroom like this, I thought that my sister would miss my relationship, it seems that I think too much, you and I are not a family after all. ”

When Empress Dowager He married into the Second Prince's Mansion, she persuaded Mrs. Yan to marry with her, and she knew in her heart that Mrs. Yan would definitely not be able to compare with her, but Mrs. Yan's intelligence and wit were indeed beyond her reach. At that time, the second princess was a favorite, and she entered the mansion at the same time as the rich Wang family, and it was difficult for her to climb up smoothly.

However, Mrs. Yan had a heart at that time, and she had no interest in the palace at all, although she refused He's request, but promised that as long as she was in need, Mrs. Yan would help her to the end.

It's just that what she never expected was that the first thing He asked her for help was to ask her to help drug the second princess.

Mrs. Yan still feels palpitations when she thinks of that incident, but He knelt in front of her and pleaded, and took Yan Su's future as a guarantee, and Mrs. Yan finally couldn't survive her pleading. thought that she had learned a hand in medicine and could help the world, but the first thing she did was to take care of people's lives.

He is different from others, but whenever someone knows about their bad intentions, they will try their best to get rid of the other party. But she relied on Mrs. Yan even more, and even in order to better take her with her, she didn't know how to persuade her to reconcile with Yan Su and re-enter the palace. It wasn't until Mrs. Yan warned her that if she mentioned the matter again, she would never help her again.

The death of the second princess, as well as the illness of Prince Demin, gave the He family a new hope. She tried her best to win her husband's favor, but she didn't expect that when he ruled the world, she would crown another woman as the queen.

"Why did you treat me as a family?"
