Shaohua almost forgot to breathe and forgot to struggle, although their words were vague and their voices were different, but "threat", "ambition", "usurpation", each word made her gasp nervously.

Especially when she heard Mrs. Yan's fierce and arrogant tone, Shaohua couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for her, and wailed in her heart: This is the queen mother, and she doesn't treat being domineering like this.

But the more she listened, the colder her heart became, and suddenly she felt that everything she knew was false, and that all the truth was a lie.

"Queen Mother, once upon a time I had the honor to be a family with you, and I was just a pawn in your hands. At the beginning, you were kind to me because you knew your aunt's concern, and I just satisfied the illusion you created, and the later glory and wealth only made me grateful to you. But I said that I want the mountains and waters, the sea and the sky, do you dare to give it to me? Mrs. Yan's eyes lit up, and her whole person looked radiant.

Empress Dowager He held her breath, her face flushed, and when the anger that was about to burst out touched her gaze, she smiled gloomily, "Sister is always so free, you know that I am reluctant to kill you, the harem is so lonely, and I am too lonely without you." ”

knew that she had been trampled on her weakness, but she chose to forgive again and again, not because of the guilt in her heart, but because she had no enemies in this harem, if she didn't even have the last person who could speak, she would probably be bored in this life.

Mrs. Yan was filled with anger by Empress Dowager He's words, as if she had been tolerating her.

"I thank the Queen Mother for not killing." Mrs. Yan gritted her teeth and replied, "Then can you return Wu Niang to me?" ”

"This won't work." Empress Dowager He shook her head and said.

"Isn't the Queen Mother worried that I will tell Erlang everything?" For the first time, Mrs. Yan felt that when facing Empress Dowager He, she had no chance of winning.

Empress Dowager He smiled very happily: "I just said that my sister is smart, why is she confused." You and I are both people in the same boat, even if I sink, what good will it do to you, and what good will it do to Kaizhi, besides, I am Erlang's mother. ”

Originally, when she heard the previous words, Mrs. Yan had already given up, but the Empress Dowager He wanted to emphasize the last sentence in a cover-up manner, which made Mrs. Yan smile: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to emphasize with me who Erlang's mother is. ”

Empress Dowager He seemed to have been stepped on by some tail, and immediately jumped up, no longer looking dignified and calm just now, and said sharply: "His mother is me!" It can only be me! Get the hell out of here! ”

Mrs. Yan knew that she had stimulated her too much today, and there were too many secrets and too many tacit understandings between them after all. Just like what Empress Dowager He said just now, if the ship sinks, Empress Dowager He will not be able to reap the benefits, she will definitely go into the water, and Kaizhi and Laneige will definitely not be able to escape from the relationship. Mrs. Yan had no choice but to leave.

And Shaohua, who was hiding in the secret room, was suddenly frightened by the fierce screams of the Empress Dowager He, and before she could react to why they were arguing just now, she only heard the Empress Dowager He shouting vigorously to tell Mrs. Yan to get out. Shaohua was shocked, if she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when she would be able to leave here. Thinking of this, Shaohua struggled desperately, wanting to kick something out to attract Mrs. Yan's attention.

But before she could kick out a movement, she didn't know what to kick, and the stone slab on one side suddenly opened, and a dark and deep passage appeared, and the stone slab she was lying on slid her into the passage obliquely. She couldn't even scream a single sound, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness.

"Mother, you indulge her too much." A hoarse voice walked in from the door, looking at the Empress Dowager He who was sitting on the chair with a dejected face, and couldn't help but sigh. "After so many years, you don't need to carry General Yan's death on your shoulders, I don't think the general's wife will accept your affection, but it has fueled her arrogance."

Empress Dowager He raised her eyes and saw a good-looking housekeeper and palace maid walking in, blessed herself, she slowly regained her senses, and said to her: "Ying'er, do you want me to kill her?" ”

Yingshang Palace is the dowry maid of the Empress Dowager He, and she has been following her since she entered the Second Palace. Since her husband's death, she has been widowed, because she has no children under her knees, she simply begged to enter the palace to continue to serve the Empress Dowager He, and now she is the housekeeper in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"The slave didn't dare to be presumptuous, but she felt that the Queen Mother's partiality to the general's wife was too much." said that he didn't dare, but Yingshang Palace's expression was faintly mocking. "The Queen Mother shouldn't be ashamed of her, and it is her blessing to be loyal and dutiful to her mother. She stepped on the bamboo pole and scurried up, taking her mother's grace to her for granted. ”

"Ying'er, you are presumptuous." Empress Dowager He was dissatisfied with Yingshang Palace's words.

Yingshanggong frowned, and immediately owed a debt, "The slave is just not worth it for the mother." ”

Empress Dowager He sighed, "What's not worth it, she has also done a lot for me, this is what she deserves." ”

Yingshang Palace obviously couldn't look down on Mrs. Yan's arrogance, and said bitterly: "Niangniang, you have a good temperament since you were a child, and you are not thin on her, but she is ......."

Empress Dowager He's tone sank, and she was dissatisfied with interrupting Yingshang Palace's words: "Enough, remember your own identity, she is the mother of Marquis Xingyong." "No matter how presumptuous Mrs. Yan is, even if she comes out, she doesn't allow a slave to point fingers at her.

Once again, because Mrs. Yan was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager He, Yingshang Palace sank her temper and replied respectfully: "The slave knows her mistakes, remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager He leaned on the chair tiredly, supported her forehead with her hands, rubbed her two fingers on her temples a few times, closed her eyes as if she was thinking, and as if she was taking a nap. Yingshang Palace on the side pursed his lips and waited, not daring to disturb loudly, but his mind drifted to what had just happened, and he couldn't hide a trace of annoyance in his eyes.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager He suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted: "Ying'er, hurry, hurry up and see how that girl is!" ”

Yingshang Palace reacted immediately and hurriedly walked towards the large wardrobe behind the screen. Just now Mrs. Yan had time, and they didn't have time to hide Shaohua, so she rushed to it, and fortunately took a hairpin on Shaohua's head, which made people rush out. The palace opened the two cabinet doors, removed the two stacks of velvet on the lowest floor, and pulled out a layer of wooden partition to reveal a large stone slab, which she pushed with her hand and slid lightly into the wall.

But the emptiness in front of her made Yingshang Palace panic, and she hurriedly rushed to apologize in front of Empress Dowager He, "Niangniang, Mrs. Hou is gone!" When Empress Dowager He heard this, she was taken aback and slapped the table. Yingshang Palace's mind turned, and he hurriedly said, "Will you slip into the secret palace?" ”

Empress Dowager He's expression immediately condensed, the so-called secret palace is actually a dark room hidden under the palace, the imperial city is so big, it is inevitable that there will be a few palaces hidden under the dark room. It's just that some are used for escape, some are used for storage, and some are used as cold palace torture rooms. In the secret palace under the Empress Dowager He's dormitory, how many concubines and palace maids have been imprisoned, even the Empress Dowager He herself can't count.

If Shaohua really fell into it, it would be troublesome, which would inevitably arouse Hongyi's suspicions.

However, a person disappeared in her dormitory for no reason, and she was also a pregnant woman, so if something went wrong in the secret palace, it would be even more difficult for her to deal with. Empress Dowager He pondered for a moment and ordered in a low voice: "Send someone to find her immediately and carry her out quickly." She hesitated, "If you find it, you will send it to Qingyue Palace." ”

Yingshang Palace's eyes widened a little, and he almost didn't say the sentence "Qingyue Palace is not haunted", he agreed in a low voice, and hurriedly retreated.

Looking at the figure of Yingshang Palace leaving in a hurry, Empress Dowager He seemed to have a smile on her face, but said in her heart: If you can come out of Qingyue Palace alive, it will be a fate, and no one will doubt it if you die.

But at this moment, Shaohua wished that he was dead.

She didn't expect that there would be a secret passage from the queen mother's bedroom to the bottom directly, because her stomach was heavy, she slipped quickly, and she was so frightened that she opened her mouth to call for help. It's a pity that even a voice is released, and it can only make a hoarse and dry babbling. In order to control the speed, she had to rub the slate with her hands, and the speed was reduced, but the friction along the way wore out her palms.

Probably fortunately, her clothes were thick enough, so except for the palm, there was no injury anywhere else, and when she fell to the ground, the child in her belly was also churning excitedly, which made Shaohua angry and laughing. The only thing that is fortunate is probably that the rope on his hand was also sharpened, and Shaohua broke free in three or two clicks, just looking at the fleshy palm, his forehead suddenly sweated in pain.

I finally untied the ropes from my feet, and I could barely stand up straight, ready to look around and find a way to escape.

But she saw a pair of shining eyes in the corner, like a mouse, and like a human, and she couldn't see each other clearly in the dark, only vaguely felt that those eyes were a little scary. And his eyes fell directly on her, as if he was being stared at by a hungry wolf in the dark, and she felt a chill down her spine, and she involuntarily clenched her fists and stepped back step by step.

It's just that Shaohua obviously didn't expect his hand to be injured just now, and he clenched it so hard that his nails were inserted into the flesh, and he cried out in pain.

It's good that she didn't shout, although she couldn't make any sound, but those bright eyes saw her open her mouth, and immediately pounced. Shaohua immediately softened his feet, and he didn't have the courage and courage he usually had at all. I only felt that a pair of amazingly thin hands covered her mouth, but the strength was amazing, and it was so great that it could choke her throat and make her breathless.

Shaohua struggled to touch the comb on his head, and was about to pull it out as a weapon, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and wanted to get out of it. Suddenly, the belly shook, obviously startling the other party, and his hands actually let go of Shaohua's neck, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "The child ......"

Shaohua, who finally breathed fresh air, his first reaction was to be glad that the other party was a person.

But when she felt the hand that had just choked her neck touching her stomach, she immediately sat up and bent over, protected her stomach, and shouted in an almost silent hoarse voice: "Don't touch! ”
