Only time will tell.

"Aunt Chunhe, you can send the widow here." Not long after leaving the gate of the Dust Sealing Palace, Dugu Yi stopped and said to Chunhe.

"Then the emperor, you go slowly, the slave maid will go to the queen mother's side first."

"Doesn't my aunt have nothing to say to the widow?" Chunhe was about to leave, but was stopped by Duguyi.

"Your Majesty." She didn't have much to say and nothing to say. She knew what Dugu Yi wanted to know, but she couldn't tell him.

"The slave has followed the Queen Mother for so many years, from childhood to adulthood, watching her change from a young lady to the Queen Mother, and then to the Queen Mother. What the mother has experienced and the hardships she has endured, the slaves and maids have seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. Your Majesty, no matter what kind of misunderstanding you have with the Queen Mother, the slave believes that one day, all the estrangement between you and the Queen Mother will be dissolved. ”

With that, Chunhe turned around and left.

And her words were like a good medicine, soothing the pain in Duguyi's heart. The faint hatred in his heart for the Empress Dowager Huici gradually dissipated.

It's just that the mysteries he has never been able to figure out, what kind of story is behind the enemy. And those memories he lost, could it really be because he accidentally knocked his head.

He had been thinking about these questions for a long time, could it all be just a coincidence? He didn't know anything about it.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

Dugu Yi walked and walked, but unconsciously came to the door of the Cui Xuan Palace again. Thinking about this woman who hides everything in her heart all day long.

I don't know what impact the queen's miscarriage due to a fall will have on her this time.

Fu Xing'er knelt directly on the ground with this invitation. As soon as he knelt on the ground, he kept his head down and couldn't get up.

"Why does Concubine Zhuang keep kneeling?" Dugu Yi asked her puzzled.

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubines will feel ashamed."

"Why do you feel guilty?"

"The queen's mother fell and caused the child to have a miscarriage, which is the fault of the concubine. The concubine loves the emperor, and the emperor punishes the concubine. ”

Fu Xinger had the intention to play for Duguyi, but he chose to believe her. Undoubtedly, in Duguyi's eyes, with his understanding of Fu Xing'er, he preferred to think that Fu Xing'er took all the responsibility on himself in order not to cause trouble.

"The widow has heard about the events of the day, and the fault is not yours, so get up first." After that, seeing that Fu Xing'er was still kneeling there and not moving, Duguyi bent down and personally helped her up.

"Your Majesty, since you have heard about the events at that time. The concubine also told the emperor what the concubine thought. Seeing that Duguyi didn't blame herself, Fu Xing'er picked up the courage to say to him again:

"Your Majesty, that day in the imperial garden, the concubine accidentally fell, although the concubine did not see whether anyone deliberately tripped the concubine, but in any case, the person who hit the queen's mother was the concubine. The queen mother encountered danger three times and twice, last time it was related to the concubine, and this time it was directly caused by the concubine. But if she didn't have it, she blamed the concubine, and the concubine was really unhappy in her heart. ”

Seeing Fu Xing'er blaming herself like this, Dugu Yi suddenly didn't know what to say.

Originally, the original intention of helping Yang Ziqi spread such fake news was good. But up to now, whether it is Fu Xing'er or Chen Yanxue or those who really care about Yang Ziqi, they can't help but feel sorry for her, and when they mention the queen, they think of her miscarriage.

Duguyi suddenly felt that while this incident protected Yang Ziqi, it also brought a lot of inconvenience.

"It's not your fault." As soon as Dugu Yi said this, a strange look instantly appeared in Fu Xing'er's eyes.

Dugu Yi comforted her with sincerity in his eyes and said, "No matter what, you didn't mean it. Don't mention anything that has already passed. ”

"The queen is ...... she"

"She's fine now." Dugu Yi replied to Fu Xing'er without hesitation: "This matter has passed so far. The queen probably doesn't want to see you blame yourself so much. So, you don't have to worry about yourself anymore. ”

Looking at Fu Xing'er, Duguyi said these words to her. In her eyes, he was so gentle.

A lot of unspeakable things are inexplicably shaking her heart. Fu Xing'er couldn't help but feel that her feelings for Duguyi didn't seem to be as bland as before.

Suddenly, she was in a state of incomprehension.

But she had to control herself. She is a person with a task. Duguyi does not belong to her, and this palace is unlikely to be her final destination.

She can't forget what she should do for the sake of her children's affection.

Chen Yanxue came to Fengluan Palace as usual. Since she heard that Yang Ziqi had a miscarriage, she still came to this Fengluan Palace for the first time.

It's just that Yang Ziqi has been closed and refuses to see people. Including her Chen Yanxue.

After a few days, Fengluan Palace was still quiet as usual.

I think Yang Ziqi's mood should be better. Chen Yanxue came here again, and the palace maid didn't stop her from letting her in.

walked from the outside to the inside, or because he saw that Chen Yanxue was an acquaintance who often came, and he didn't see the palace maids go in to inform the master.

Knowing that the moment she walked into Yang Zi's house, Chen Yanxue was suddenly stunned.

Yang Ziqi was sitting at the table embroidering flowers without incident, and the palace maid Ah Xiu was also talking to her. It's all laid-back.

If Chen Yanxue hadn't walked into the house, they might not have known that Chen Yanxue was here.

When "Sister ......" saw Chen Yanxue, both of them couldn't help but froze for a moment. What Chen Yanxue immediately noticed was Yang Ziqi's slightly bulging abdomen.

Nothing happened to her child.

"Cher, you...... Here it ......."

At first, she didn't react to the situation, but suddenly she knew what was going on.

"Sister Ziji, you ...... Your child ......" Chen Yanxue shook her head in disbelief. He never thought that the loss of Yang Ziqi's child was just a disguise.

No wonder when she asked about Yang Ziqi at that time, Duguyi's reaction was so abnormal. It turned out that he just made up a lie with Yang Ziqi.

A lie that only the two of them knew, even she, Chen Yanxue, was kept in the dark.

"Cher, come on, come in and sit down."

Seeing Chen Yanxue's reaction, Yang Ziqi probably knew what she was in her heart now. Immediately asked Chen Yanxue to come to him and sit down. Wanted to explain this to her.

Chen Yanxue then walked over, walked to Yang Ziqi's side, and sat down.

"Xue'er, listen to me, my sister didn't mean to hide this from you, and my sister wanted to find a suitable time to tell you."

What Yang Ziqi said is not unreasonable. But Chen Yanxue seems to have reached Ao, she will say this. If she hadn't known about it, wouldn't she have never told her the truth?

"Cher?" Yang Ziqi called Chen Yanxue again, but she was silent. In her eyes, there was only disappointment and sadness.

"Xue'er, my sister knows that you will be angry, but my sister really has no intention of hiding it from you. You are my sister's dearest person, and my sister will not hide it from anyone. ”

"Sister Ziji, I know." Chen Yanxue thought about it for a while, not only figured it out but also dissipated her anger, so she also opened her mouth and replied to Yang Ziqi:

"I know it's been hard for you. You have suffered so much, I can understand that you do this, Cher will not be angry with you. ”

"Cher...... It's good that you don't get angry with your sister. Hearing Chen Yanxue say this, Yang Ziqi also relieved:

"Xue'er, in fact, this matter is my sister's idea. Last time, my sister accidentally fell in the imperial garden, and after coming back, I thought of such a solution. So I begged the emperor to help my sister hide it from everyone. I wanted to wait for this limelight to pass, and my sister would tell you the truth, but I didn't expect you to come today. ”

"I understand, Sister Ziji. You are the person who loves Xue'er the most in this palace, and Xue'er can understand you. Speaking of this, the displeasure on Chen Yanxue's face had disappeared, and she gradually smiled.

"It's just that sister, if you hide it from everyone like this, aren't you afraid that one day someone else will break this fact? Or is it...... Sister, do you think you will stay in this palace until you give birth to this child? ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yanxue couldn't help but feel puzzled by Yang Ziqi's approach. Is it worth it for her to protect this child who is not worthy of the name.

Regardless of whether this child is born as a son or a daughter in the future, it is not a child of Duguyi, although this secret is only known to the three of them.

But in the future, if it is known by others, how will everyone treat it, and how will they look at Yang Ziqi. And Dugu Yi, as the king of a country, where will his majesty and the majesty of the royal family be.

"Sister, you do this...... Is it worth it......" She did this, in Chen Yanxue's eyes, it was naturally not worth it.

If it were her Chen Yanxue, she would never have this child.

Chen Yanxue didn't know why she suddenly thought of this. From her point of view, she naturally felt unworthy for Yang Ziqi.

Maybe she's grown up, she's not the innocent and carefree she used to be. Maybe after spending so much time in the palace, she gradually matured and knew how to think about many questions.

She also gradually learned to calculate for her own interests.

But when she thinks so, she is indeed thinking about Yang Ziqi. After all, they are good sisters with deep affection.

"Xue'er, sister will tell you the truth." Hearing Chen Yanxue ask like this, Yang Ziqi motioned for Ah Xiu to wait outside, and also replied to Chen Yanxue:

"If it had been before, I did feel worthless, I didn't like this child, I didn't like it, I didn't like it when she disrupted all my normal life. But just last time, just last time, I was pushed down, and after I fell hard, I suddenly changed my mind. This child, who was so weak, was very fortunate and brave to survive. And I, as its mother, no matter how it came to be. It's already in my blood. I can't just give it up so easily. ”

"Sister......" What Yang Ziqi said was something that Chen Yanxue couldn't understand. But in this way, this is precisely the great thing about Yang Ziqi.

"So, from that time on, I swore that no matter what happened to this child, it was innocent, and I must protect it."

Therefore, in order to protect this child, she would rather be wronged by herself, and decided to stay in this Fengluan Palace from now on. Until the child is safely born.

After listening to Yang Ziqi say this, Chen Yanxue still admired her as before. She was a brave woman. No matter what kind of difficulties she encountered, she was able to survive strongly.

And what Yang Ziqi has experienced is something that she Chen Yanxue can't think of. Compared with Yang Ziqi, she is much happier, she has never suffered anything, and she has never had such a painful experience.

Could it be that it is precisely because of these that Duguyi loves Yang Ziqi so deeply.

On the way back, Chen Yanxue couldn't help but think about this question.

She is no longer the Chen Yanxue she used to be. She thinks, she envies, she is jealous. Even the sisters closest to themselves.

And now, she is gradually calculating. All this may be because she loves Duguyi too deeply, just like he loves Yang Ziqi deeply.

Sandwiched between her dearest sister and the person she loves the most, all this has made her what she is now.
