After the ceremony, the slave still accompanied Furou to the Hanlin Academy to study every day as usual, and would wait in front of the Longyang Palace from time to time. And since Tong'an left the palace that day, there has been no news for half a month, as if he is angry, ignoring people.

The evening drum and morning bell, in the blink of an eye, most of the hot summer has gone. Every August, an inexplicable decadent emotion rises in the slave's heart. Maybe it's because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is reunited every year, but it ruthlessly buried his mother's life. Looking at the happiness of others, there will always be a little unwillingness and jealousy in my heart.

Xinmei walked in with a bowl of sour plum soup and said, "County Lord, just now came the news that Ying Changzai has been pregnant for a month. ”

The slave sighed. She remembered that the red agate in the red gold Yingluo circle rewarded by Emperor Rong's concubine at that time contained musk in it. But in just a few days, Ying Chang was there. It can be seen that she understood her reminder at that time. He's still a smart guy.

Nu'er took the soup bowl from Xinmei's hand, picked up the silver spoon and stirred it in the soup, she took a small sip, and the coolness spread from the tip of her tongue. Only then did she say nonchalantly, "Who found out that she was pregnant?" ”

"A group of newlyweds are going to Zhengyang Palace to meet the queen. But the queen has always been closed to no guests, and when she ate the closed door, Ying Chang suddenly vomited outside the gate of Zhengyang Palace. alarmed the queen, and the queen invited people into Zhengyang Palace, and also announced the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor. ”

"Ying is always happy. The queen should be a nobleman, even if she decrees that Jin Ying is often a nobleman, and moves to the Yanxi Palace of the concubine. Xinmei said, tilted his head and thought about it and said, "This queen is the queen, and Rao has not been a director for a long time." But if she really wants to do something, it's just a matter of words. Looking at Ci Ying's usual position and saying that Jin is going to be promoted, even the imperial concubine of Xianfu Palace, who has been acting as an agent for the affairs of the Six Palaces, did not inform him. ”

Nu'er didn't think that he could be a simple person in the position of the mother of the Great Xia Kingdom. Concubine Shu is devoted to the prince, and the queen puts the pregnant Chang Zai in Yanxi Palace, just to want Concubine Shu to take care of it, so that Ying Chang can give birth to the child peacefully.

However, the queen has long been out of the council, and although the affairs of the six palaces have not been said on the surface, the six palaces have been taken care of by the emperor and concubine by default. It is impossible for the queen to make a move for the sake of a small Changzai, so why does she want to protect Ying Changzai?

"Naturally, it's because someone is too ambitious. If Bengong doesn't press it, I'm afraid she will have to rebel. The queen sat in the small garden of Zhengyang Palace and said in a deep voice. She held a Su embroidered fan in her hand and gently fanned the wind, but her slightly dark blue eyes gradually showed ruthlessness.

"My son is already struggling to defend against foreign enemies. But some people are not sure about this national affairs, and they have conspired with foreign enemies to harm my son. If it weren't for the first few times he had escaped with great fortune, if not, I'm afraid he would have been dead in the wilderness by now. ”

Speaking of this, the anger in the queen's heart has become more and more intense, she has not asked about the world all these years, one is because she has no time to worry about the child's affairs. The second is that she knows that her position as queen is unshakable, so why bother to be thoughtful in these six palaces and waste her energy. But because she didn't care, it fueled the arrogance and ambition of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family usually assassinated the concubines, killed the emperor's heirs, and deducted the amount in the palace. She can turn a blind eye to these, but this time she dared to move her mind to the prince, which is really a great crime.

Zhiyi has always looked at the queen's face, and seeing that the queen's face was still angry, he stepped forward and spoke cautiously, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured outside the pass, although the news has been blocked, but the barbarian army is still eyeing the outside, and it may attack at any time." Niangniang wants to send someone to protect His Highness? ”

"But Niangniang, Sheng Jing doesn't have many people, and most of them are sent to the dark room to protect the son. Where to bring in the staff? "The one who spoke was a hidden guard named Fengqing, who had been following the queen and pretending to be a palace maid to protect the queen's safety.

The queen thought for a while, took out a jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix from her waist and handed it to Fengqing, "Take this jade pendant outside the city gate, and someone will come and let them protect the prince." ”

"But Niangniang, this golden guard is used by His Majesty to protect you. If they ......" Fengqing hesitated.

"The main palace doesn't need to be protected by secret guards in the harem. Let them all go to the palace to protect the prince, if something happens to the prince, then they will not come back. ”

Seeing that the queen had made up her mind, Feng Qing no longer persuaded her, but took the jade pendant out of the palace.

"Remember." The queen rubbed her temples, visibly tired. She got up, "I'm going to see him in the dark room." ”

Darkroom.

There was a teenager standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands. He was dressed in dark clothes, and his former immature face became angular. Because he lived in a dark room for a long time and was not exposed to sunlight, he was born unusually fair. It also made the different colors in his eyes more obvious.

Zhiyi helped the queen to the outside of the dark room, activated the mechanism, and the stone door of the dark room suddenly opened. The queen waited outside and walked in alone with her feet raised. The long phoenix robe dragged to the ground, and the gold and silver threads on the phoenix robe occasionally refracted a little light under the faint light of the night pearl.

The queen walked very slowly and with a light step. I didn't stop until I saw the back of the young man. She stood there for a long time, staring at the back. After so many years, she could count the words she had said to him on her fingers.

It is said that flesh and blood are affectionate, and blood is inherited. But every time she looked at him, she didn't know how to speak, how to meet his cold gaze. She sighed heavily, "Rin'er." ”

The young man didn't turn around, but said lightly, "Queen Fengjia, what is the so-called matter?" ”

The boy's words were so alienated and indifferent that it was chilling. The queen's body shook, she choked up, her eyes full of grievances, "Rin'er, you can't do this to me. ”

"What does the queen think I should do to you." The young man turned around slowly, his heterochromatic eyes were calm and calm, and his gaze was faint, but he saw the queen's heart tremble. He was only eighteen years old, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

There was no wind in the dark room, but it made the queen feel cold. She pursed her lips to explain something, but in the end she swallowed back what she wanted to say. She steadied herself, "It's not been peaceful in the palace lately, you have to be careful." If it is detected, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

A wry smile tugged at the boy's lips as he surveyed the pitch black around him. "Who can find the dark room? Does the outside world have anything to do with me? ”

"I know you blame me for keeping you in a dark room where you don't see the light of day. But Rin'er, if it weren't for this, none of our mother and son would have survived. The queen stepped forward with tears in her eyes, and she reached out to touch her son's face, but the young man's head was slightly on one side, and her hand fell into the air.

The queen withdrew her hand in a sloppy manner, and she let out a long sigh that she could not be found. She looked around and walked to the desk, where she was caught by a plain silk. The young man moved slightly, trying to stop the queen. However, the queen had already picked up the silk.

A small magnolia flower was embroidered on the corner of plain silk. Looking down, the queen's thumb touched an uneven spot. She removed her finger, and the word 'slave' was embroidered on it.

Slave. Such a special word, there is only one person in this palace.

The Queen's eyes darkened, and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes. The young man stepped forward and took the silk from the queen's hand, "It's just a handkerchief that I picked up." I saw that it looked good, so I stayed. ”

Is that so?

The queen apparently did not believe it. She knew very well what Rin'er's personality was, and if it was really picked up, why bother putting it on the desk. Besides, this is still a woman's thing. thought of how many times he ran out of the palace because of a woman. She suddenly understood why.

It doesn't matter if you like a woman. But Wei Nu'er is inevitably too scheming, too public, and grandstanding.

When a certain thought gradually came to the queen's mind, the boy suddenly said, as if he had understood, "Don't touch her." ”

"Why?" The queen asked knowingly.

"Because ......," the young man paused, his face grim, "she still owes me something." ”

He couldn't say what it was. It's just that she is really impressed by the way she holds the hairpin and scratches herself into a bloody blur. The firmness in her eyes made him feel déjà vu, as if he had been locked up in a dark room for many years and was still alive.

He didn't want her to die like that, he had been living in the dark room, just to see her again one day. He once asked Chu Yi to secretly go to the Ruyi Pavilion to steal her portrait, and watched her become more and more beautiful in the portrait. His desire to see her was even stronger.

Those bright eyes made him unforgettable at first sight.

The second year of junior high school often heard her news in the palace and told him. God knows how jealous he was when he heard the sentence of the second year of junior high school, "I heard that the county lord and the eighth prince have always been close". At that moment, he hated his life experience very much, he complained that he couldn't live in the eyes of the world, couldn't live in front of her, and could only hide in the dark room where he couldn't see the end.

He even thought he was going out. But he couldn't, he couldn't just go out before the time came.

When he felt the queen's rising killing intent, he suddenly felt a little scared. He was afraid that she would not wait for him to come out of the dark room and die the same day.

The queen looked into the young man's eyes and asked word by word, "What if I want to kill her?"

"You're not even a queen with me." The boy replied indifferently.

"The queen is still worried about the prince." The teenager walked out, "The first day of junior high school, send off guests." ”

"Rin'er!" The queen screamed. However, the boy left without looking back.

After the queen left, the boy leaned lazily in his chair. His shirt was untied, revealing his strong chest. It's a little more charming than a woman.

"Childe." The first day of the new year hugged the sword and saluted.

The boy came back to his senses, and the thoughts in his heart became more and more determined. He said in a deep voice, "Remember to add a fire." ”

A chill suddenly arose in Chu Yi's heart. The young man in front of him was once again impressed.

How ruthless a person should be to not even want his closest relatives.
