Bo Xinlan held Qin Yingyue's hand and sighed with relief: "Your Majesty has always been affectionate to your sister, but my sister has always been alienated from Your Majesty because of her own injuries. Now that my sister's serious injury can be cured, after I want to heal it, my life will be much better than now, and I don't have to live in this remote and cold Frost Dew Pavilion for a long time. ”

The two smiled and their eyes met, and they naturally understood each other's meaning.

In fact, Bo Xinlan came here, and there was nothing important to say. She's here, and that's the most important thing.

As long as she came over after listening to Xiao Tao's special message, it showed that she was still the same as when she was in the mansion, and she was still willing to join forces with Qin Yingyue.

So in fact, when she entered the Frostdew Pavilion, the purpose of her trip had already been achieved. It's just that Xia Guo is not here and Xia Guo is not there, and the words are different. But this did not affect Qin Yingyue's understanding of what she meant. They are all smart people, and they still have a little understanding of each other.

After some politeness and sincere concern, Bo Xinlan said some more about the food, clothing and homely things in the palace, and when Xiao Tao and Dongxue came back from cooking tea, they took a few sips slowly, and said with a smile: "Some days I didn't take Xing'er to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and I think about the Queen Mother." The palace still has to go to Ci'an Palace, so I won't bother my sister here. ”

The two politely exchanged a few parting words, and Qin Yingyue personally sent Bo Xinlan out.

Xia Guo didn't see anything from this conversation, and he couldn't even conclude that Bo Xinlan and Qin Yingyue had a better relationship than others.

After all, she had already heard Fang Fei talk about the temperament of these new masters in the palace, and knew that Bo Xinlan was the smartest and most decent. Now that Bo Xinlan heard that someone had come to treat Qin Yingyue's injuries, in order to fulfill her always kind and generous temperament, and in order to show that she was different from other concubines, there was nothing wrong with coming to visit.

After Qin Yingyue sent Bo Xinlan away, she didn't have any look that was very different from before, and still returned to the small study to continue reading.

Bo Xinlan's side wanted to make amends for her going to the Frost Dew Pavilion, so she hurriedly returned to her palace and took Xing'er to Ci'an Palace. It is better to take the initiative to tell the Queen Mother about her going to Qin Yingyue's Palace than for the Queen Mother to hear it from other people's mouths. As long as she sincerely said that she was worried about Qin Yingyue's injury because of her kindness, and when she heard that someone came to heal, she went to care for her, and the Queen Mother couldn't find anything wrong.

But the Queen Mother naturally wouldn't believe that she went because of her kindness, and it was certain to think more about it in the depths. It's just that what the Queen Mother thought of, it should be just-she was afraid of Qin Yingyue's previous beauty and Qin Yingyue's status in the emperor's heart, so she went to investigate in order to deal with it as soon as possible.

In this way, the matter of her going to the Frost Dew Pavilion gave Qin Yingyue a reassurance, but she found herself in trouble. Before she overthrew Rong Yunxi, Qin Yingyue would not be stupid enough to rebel against her - this is also a great benefit of joining forces with smart people, out of the affirmation of the other party's intelligence, and there is a lot of trust. But after dou Rong Yunxi was overthrown, Qin Yingyue's next target was her. Of course, her next target is also Qin Yingyue.

At that time, the two of them fought, if Qin Yingyue had any actions to frame her, the fact that she went to the Frost Dew Pavilion today would become evidence that she had already harmed Qin Yingyue.

But I know that this is asking for trouble, but I still have to do it. After all, the next round of competition has not yet begun, and there is still room for everything to turn around. But this round of competition has already begun. If she didn't do a good job in this round, she wouldn't have survived to the next round. How important is the victory in front of us! How could she ignore it......

walked all the way to Ci'an Palace, personally hugged Xing'er, and protected his small body in her warm coat. Regardless of the cold of early spring, as a mother, she still wants to give him full warmth.

From the time he was born, she was destined to run for the rest of her life. But she is as happy as she is......

……

In the afternoon, there was a word in Cining Palace, saying that the Empress Dowager meditated and worshiped the Buddha, in order to avoid the noise of all things, and from now on, no matter day or night, the palace door of Cining Palace will be closed. No one in the palace can ask to see them. Even the emperor is among them, and the greetings on the fifteenth day of the new year are exempted.

After Mama Wu truthfully conveyed the meaning of the Empress Dowager, she also respectfully asked: "The Empress Dowager specially instructed the slaves and maids to do their best to ask for Your Majesty's permission. ”

This sentence is the finishing touch, which can make the emperor more aware of the Empress Dowager's determination to delegate power, and the Empress Dowager's respect for him, the emperor of the dynasty.

From the eight lives in Cining Palace, the emperor has already seen the meaning of the empress dowager, at this time, the empress dowager only sent someone over in the afternoon, and gave the emperor enough time to think about it, how could the emperor disagree?

The power of the Empress Dowager naturally cannot be just the eight poor minions who died in Cining Palace. Whether in the harem or in the court, the foundation of the Empress Dowager is quite deep. But as long as the Empress Dowager makes a statement, those who have always obeyed the Empress Dowager will naturally understand what she means, and from then on, they will definitely do things for the emperor.

Therefore, for the remnants of the Empress Dowager, the emperor does not count. As long as the Empress Dowager has this attitude, the emperor will rest assured.

The Empress Dowager's move can undoubtedly become a model for the protection of the harem in the past dynasties, all the way to this day with all kinds of cautious planning, never soft when the fight should be grabbed, and never be nostalgic when it should be let go, so as to protect the stability of their own life.

Although the emperor had already made a decision in his heart, he still thought about it carefully for a long time, and then sighed helplessly: "Okay, since the imperial grandmother insists on this, I can't let the imperial grandmother go against my own wishes without filial piety." It's just that on the fifteenth day of the first month, please be safe...... I also hope that Mama can help me persuade the imperial grandmother, so that the imperial grandmother will allow me to ask for peace. If the monthly invitation is waived, I can't see whether the emperor's grandmother phoenix body is healthy, how can I rest assured? ”

Mama Wu naturally knows, no matter what the result is, she must pass on this. Therefore, he didn't say much nonsense, so he responded: "Yes, the slave and maid will go back to the Empress Dowager." ”

"Go ahead, help me persuade the imperial grandmother." The emperor said.

"Yes." Mama Wu replied and retreated a little anxiously.

It was about an hour before I came back to talk. As soon as he entered the house, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The old slave is incompetent, I beg Your Majesty to forgive ...... sin."

"What? Won't the imperial grandmother still refuse to give it to you? The emperor asked a little tiredly.

Mama Wu was sincerely afraid: "The slave maid has worn out her mouth, but the Empress Dowager has no intention of cultivating and refuses to let everything disturb the Buddha." But the Empress Dowager also remembered Her Majesty's filial piety, and specially asked the slave maid to bring a message to Your Majesty......"

"Say."

"Yes......" Mama Wu lowered her head, "The Empress Dowager said, I hope Your Majesty will not be sad." Life in the world, come and go sometimes, mourning is close to the destiny of heaven, and it is a matter of time before it returns. Rather than having a heavy relationship with grandchildren year after year, it is better to slowly let go while the mourning family is still alive. And at this point in life, I won't be too sad. Now that the mourning family is still alive, there is naturally no way to get rid of the mortal fate, and I am also concerned about His Majesty in my heart. Why don't you see each other every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, Chinese New Year's Eve, and the 15th Month. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then Fang Chang sighed and said, "Since the imperial grandmother insists on this, it can only be like this...... It's just that the emperor's grandmother is blessed with a deep fortune, and it must be a thousand years. I also hope that my grandmother will tell the emperor and grandmother on my behalf that I must cherish the phoenix body, so as to extend the blessings and protect my windy country for thousands of years. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he sighed heavily, waved his hand, and motioned for Mama Wu to retreat.

Rong Yunxi could see that the emperor's lament was genuine, not superficial. Regardless of status, the Empress Dowager is his grandmother after all. The emperor's respect and filial piety to the empress dowager are real, and the empress dowager's care and love for the emperor are also real, but in the royal family, all feelings are destined to be unacceptable, and they are destined to lose to the word "power".

One day has passed, one day has passed, and now this Weiyang Palace and this wind country are completely a new world.

……

The new emperor ascended the throne, and good news came.

This is a good omen for the opening of the dynasty - at the night when the empress dowager was avoiding politics, she rode a fast horse galloping from the border pass, and rushed to the north palace gate with the good news of the great victory at the border pass.

It's already the time to hold the lamp, and the emperor is still in the Yilan Palace. Even though Rong Yunxi had something in his heart, he could only coax him patiently. At this time, he happened to knead the back of the emperor who was lying on the bed.

The good news from the border pass arrived at the Qianqing Palace first, and there was no one in the Qianqing Palace, so Yunshang took the guards of the North Palace Gate who sent the letter to the Yilan Palace.

"Your Majesty, the border gate is here to report ......" Yunshang's soft voice sounded outside the door.

Hearing the word "border pass", Rong Yunxi couldn't help but pause when he rubbed the emperor's hand. Sensing the change in Rong Yunxi, the emperor did not pay attention to the situation outside the door, but turned around to look at Rong Yunxi. In those originally calm and lazy eyes, at this time, there was a sharp light. Seeing that Rong Yunxi's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the whole person was also a little flustered. I want to explain something to the emperor, but where to start.

If Qin Yingyue was not in the palace at this time, even if the emperor no longer had feelings for Qin Yingyue, he would still care when he heard her news suddenly, right? It is precisely because of the distance that there is news suddenly, and the thoughts are so instinctively wrong.

The emperor just looked at Rong Yunxi, and gradually changed from sharp exploration to calm, and even, a little compromised...... Rong Yunxi didn't know how the emperor persuaded him, but even if he couldn't get into his heart at this time, he also knew that this struggle was indeed more bitter than Coptis chinensis.

"Passed in?" Rong Yunxi asked lightly.

The emperor nodded, counting as a response.

"Come in." Rong Yunxi raised his voice and shouted out.

Yunshang answered "yes" and entered the house with the guards.

"Yunshang, hand it to me." The emperor lay back on the bed, as if he didn't care about the news from the border pass.

Yunshang took the letter from the guard's hand and walked forward quickly.

The emperor accepted the letter, but Rong Yunxi got up and said, "I've been lying down, I'm thirsty, right?" ”

poured tea for the emperor, and did not look at the contents of the letter.

Rong Yunxi's tea arrived in front of the emperor, and the emperor's letter was read. While taking the tea, he handed it to Rong Yunxi.

Since it was handed over by the emperor, Rong Yunxi took it after hesitating for a moment.

In my heart, it's not that I'm not nervous. But after reading this letter, the big stone in my heart fell. He didn't even hide his joy, and said: "This is really good news for the beginning of the year, good luck for the year!" ”

"Good news indeed. The Thunder Country and the Wind Country have been in a stalemate for so long, and as soon as I ascended the throne, the news of their surrender came from the border pass...... I hope it's not their ploy. But I want to come...... The second brother has always been cautious in the contest with the enemy, and if he can't be sure, this news will definitely not come. ”
