His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed his head and retired, and the smile on the queen's face gradually faded, and there was a touch of pain and melancholy in her voice, "Ten years, it's been ten years......"

"Queen Mother, that little palace maid secretly went to the palace of the concubine again." The henchman walked over briskly and whispered.

There was a desperate light in the queen's eyes, and she laughed extremely miserably, "This is my sister, how ridiculous!" Thirty years of sisterhood and affection have been exchanged for her placing spies around me to monitor my every move...... Oh, this is my closest good sister! ”

The henchman looked at the queen distressedly, and sighed cautiously, "Guifei Niangniang, it has changed." ”

"Yes, she has changed, and she is no longer the lively and cheerful sister I was back then......" The queen rubbed her forehead tiredly, slowly stood up, and said, "I haven't seen Sister Xueqi in this palace for a long time, and I suddenly miss it a little today, let's go, let's go see her now, and if she wants to know something, she has to go through an ignorant little palace maid." Wouldn't it be better to ask Hongu directly if you have something to say? ”

"Queen Niangniang, if you go now, don't you just tell the concubine Niangniang that you already know that she has placed eyeliner next to you? She's already done this to you, I'm afraid she'll resent you even more! "Mama's face is anxious, now the concubine is already Miss Xueqi, she is ruthless, relying on the emperor's favor and lawlessness, the queen is going now, isn't it more auspicious?

The queen smiled sadly, "She has torn the sisterhood between us, I want to see her, if she still has a trace of conscience, then I will still admit that she is my once kind and simple sister, if she is now blinded by hatred, then I ......"

The queen glanced around the huge palace with an extremely sad expression, and then the expression on her face gradually became clear and decisive, "It was a mistake for me to intervene between her and the emperor at the beginning, for so many years, I thought that if I didn't fight or win, I could still maintain our sisterhood, but ...... It's me who is wrong, I'm too wishful thinking, if even she is not the person she was back then, then what else is there to be in this Nanchu Palace worthy of my nostalgia? I wanted to leave many years ago, but I couldn't make up my mind, and now it's time to leave. ”

"Queen Mother, don't say that!" Mama said distressedly, "What happened back then, it was not your fault at all, only the emperor was to blame...... Alas!! ”

"Mama, don't say it, my heart is already cold," the queen took a deep breath, and her tone gradually became brisk, "Just now, the people from the Zhaowang Mansion, my father also came to Nanchu, and I have already ...... I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I hope that my father will still recognize me as an unfilial daughter and allow me to enter the house. ”

As she spoke, the queen's tone gradually choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes, but it was a longing for her relatives, not worry.

Speaking of Zhen Guogong, a trace of sadness also appeared on Mama's face, "Yes, it's been more than ten years, we have left the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years, Queen Mother, do we really want to go back?" ”

"Yes, that's my home, and here, I'm just an interloper, for more than ten years, all I have is guilt, sadness, pain, and I'm really fed up......"

The concubine's dormitory.

The dark red bed curtain covered everything on the bed, and on top of the luxurious and dull hall was a little palace maid who came out of the queen's palace, respectfully told the concubine Niangniang everything she heard, and then bowed her head and didn't dare to say anything more.

For a long time, there was a thick mockery in the hoarse voice of the concubine Niangniang, "No wonder that Luo Yunshuang worked so hard for a competition, Bengong underestimated her, she turned out to be all this for Ning Qi, what a couple, and she still wants to investigate Ning Qi's poisoning?" What if the investigation comes out? Never let it go? Hehe, I'm afraid she won't have that chance. ”

There was not too much surprise and surprise in the voice of the concubine Niangniang, only deep mockery.

After a pause, Zhao Xueqi suddenly said a little sadly, "I have come to this point, there is no turning back, and I don't want to turn back!" Whoever wants to put me to death, this palace will let him go to Hades first! Since Luo Yunshuang doesn't want to be nosy, then don't blame Bengong for giving her a ride in advance! ”

"Mother, what are we going to do?" The grim eunuch asked in a sharp voice.

"This palace is in a good mood today, and his body is better, he must have raised it for so many days, and the bodies of Ning Xiao Wang Ye and Xiao Princess have also been raised, right? Tonight, the palace will hold a banquet, and invite all the people who should be invited, by the way, when you go to the Zhaowang Mansion to invite Ning Xiaowang and the little princess, make it clear, if they don't come this time, then the palace will drag this sick body and go to the door in person. If Ning Qi really asked his aunt to invite her when she was sick, she could not come. ”

"Minion, let's do it!" The gloomy eunuch Zhao Lingran immediately went down to make arrangements.

The figure floated behind the curtain, and the faint voice was indescribably eerie, "I wanted to keep you for a little longer, but who told you not to meddle in your own affairs?" Luo Yunshuang, this palace wants to see how capable you are! ”

"Queen Mother, please stay, the concubine is resting!"

There was a short exclamation from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open!

The man behind the curtain seemed to be startled by the eunuch's exclamation, sat up suddenly, and then suddenly lay back down, breathing fiercely, as if he were weak.

The sound of fast footsteps came, and the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't have time to hide, and was looked at by the queen, and collapsed on the ground with a white face on the spot.

However, as if she had not seen her at all, the queen walked straight to the bedside, and her quiet eyes flowed with a deep expectation and sorrow.

Through a bed curtain, the two looked at each other silently, and after a long time, a trace of helplessness crossed the queen's eyes, and she opened her mouth with difficulty, and her voice was full of concern, "Xueqi, I came to see you, are you okay?" ”

After a short silence, Zhao Xueqi's voice finally came from the bed curtain, which was different from the mocking voice just now, gentle and moving, "I'm fine, but I haven't seen my sister for a long time, I really miss you." ”

"What do you think about missing me and not seeing me?" The queen said sadly, raised her hand and lifted the bed curtain, and was about to speak, when she saw Zhao Xueqi's face on the bed, she was suddenly shocked, took two steps back, and said in disbelief, "You ......"

"What's wrong with me, doesn't my sister know me anymore?" Zhao Xueqi still looks gentle.

"You...... How did you become like this! The queen looked at Zhao Xueqi in shock, although the two are sisters, but they have no blood relationship, and they don't look like each other, since she came to Nanchu, although she occasionally thinks about it, she feels that Zhao Xueqi's appearance has changed, but she thinks that maybe because of her age, her appearance will definitely change, and she doesn't care too much, but for nearly a year, Zhao Xueqi is sick, she came to visit several times, Zhao Xueqi always deduces that she is recuperating and it is not suitable to see each other, plus she is doing more and more excessively, and the queen gradually does not come.

But I didn't expect that after not seeing her for more than half a year, Zhao Xueqi's face became exactly the same as her! How could such a change be natural?

"Is my sister surprised by my face?" Zhao Xueqi raised her hand and touched her face, and said with a sarcastic smile, "We are sisters, I think about my sister every day, but I didn't expect that she looks more and more like her sister!" Doesn't this show more that we have a deep sisterhood? ”

The queen looked at the familiar face that she could see in the mirror every day, shocked and frightened, such Zhao Xueqi, she didn't know it at all, this was not the sister she grew up with since she was a child!

"Sisterhood? Xueqi, what the hell are you going to do? Why should you ...... Want...... How did you end up like this! ”

Zhao Xueqi's voice suddenly became sharp and mocking, "Why? Doesn't my sister know? I'm losing forever! Whatever it is, I've lost it! I thought that my sister and I could be sisters for a lifetime, but I didn't expect it...... Sister, why are you and why are you ......"

Zhao Xueqi was vague, but Tang Xueying understood what she meant, and suddenly became angry, and said, "So you have resented me for so many years, do you hate me?" You think I'm ruining your happiness, don't you? ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, sister......" Zhao Xueqi closed her eyes heavily, "For the sake of the Tang family who has raised me for many years, for the sake of our sisters growing up together...... I can never hurt you, but please, don't interfere in my business anymore. ”

The queen said angrily, "Don't hurt me? Xueqi, you've hurt me! Why are you holding Luo Yunshuang, what are you going to do to Qi'er? Qi'er is Xuewei's child, why do you want to hurt Xuewei? She's bitter enough! ”

"So in your heart, Tang Xuewei is more important, right? That's right, how can I forget, your even surname is Tang, you are your sisters! So for so many years, no matter what I do, you have indulged me, and you never intervene in my affairs, but now that it involves Tang Xuewei, you have begun to meddle, and you feel that I am wrong, and you don't stand by my side anymore, and you start accusing me, right? If it weren't for you, how could Luo Yunshuang leave the palace! Zhao Xueqi behind the bed curtain suddenly sat up, and the face that was exactly the same as Tang Xueying's was an anger that could not be hidden.

"It's ridiculous!" Tang Xueying shouted angrily, "Xuewei is my own sister, she has suffered so much because of me, shouldn't I take care of her?" Qi'er is your nephew! Think for yourself, have I done less for you over the years? When have I ever been sorry for you? Since you were a child, you have been so kind, even ants can't bear to step on it all the time, who doesn't want to entertain you in that group of arrogant and domineering aristocratic children, but who dares to really touch you? Why do you think that's going to be? ”
