The queen invited so earnestly, how could Hongyan push it back, she felt that the emperor's arrangement was inappropriate, how could she think that it was actually just a sentence from the queen. On the way to the lake, Hongyan insisted on riding in her own carriage, she must abide by the duties of a concubine, and she could not be shoulder to shoulder with the queen no matter what.

The night view of West Lake tonight is as brilliant as last night, but there are not so many people following, and it seems much quieter. Everyone embraced the queen and the concubine to board the boat, the royal boat was wide and stable, like a palace floating in the water, there was a richly decorated palace in the cabin, which could be used for dozens of people to feast and have fun, the queen and Hongyan went to the deck through there, she said to Hongyan: "You said that if the emperor doesn't bring us, how many dancers and singers will be here, it must be much more interesting than us, and the emperor will be more enjoyable." ”

Hongyan said: "It turns out that Niangniang also knows." ”

The queen smiled: "It's just such a little thing, what else can you hide, everyone knows it." ”

They went up to the deck, and the wind was colder tonight than last night, and the palace ladies gave the two ladies their cloaks, but the queen ordered: "Let the boat go." ”

The people below were stunned, the holy drive had not arrived, how to drive the boat, but the queen said: "The emperor has a decree, ordering me and Concubine Ling to go first, and the emperor will board the boat in a small boat after he arrives, after all, wait here for the emperor to arrive and then start the boat, the hour will be late." ”

The queen was reasonable, but the people below went out to ask around, but no one heard about it, and they could not fully believe the queen, and did not dare to refute it, until the queen sent someone to urge the boat to sail, and finally had to believe that it was the emperor's intention and drove the boat out of the shore.

Not long after the boat left, Fu Ling'an and Yongqi were the first to return, and when they saw that the imperial boat had already left the shore, they felt incredible, and asked the people on the shore: "The emperor has not returned yet, why did you drive the boat away?" ”

Hearing that the queen said that it was the emperor's will, and that Concubine Ling was also on the boat, Yongqi became more and more strange, and said to Fu Ling'an: "Did Huang Ama say that only the queen will accompany her tonight, why did Concubine Ling come?" ”

But what even Yongqi didn't know, how could Fu Ling'an understand why, the two discussed on the shore for a while, and then decided that Yongqi would take a small boat to stop the royal boat or turn around to dock, while Fu Ling'an stayed on the shore. After Yongqi catches up with the imperial boat, he comes to see the empress and Hongyan, and Yongqi points out that the emperor does not have such a will, and he wants to stop the ship now.

Hongyan felt that something was wrong, but the queen said calmly: "It's all what the emperor said to me last night, maybe I didn't think to say it to you again, it's not a big deal, then let the boat stop, I and Ling Guifei Niangniang are on the rise, and it's strange that such a big boat goes back and forth." ”

This was said very tactfully, and Yongqi was powerless to refute it, explaining that he was also acting on orders, hoping that the queen would understand, so he ordered someone to stop the boat, and it was not appropriate for him to accompany the queen and Concubine Ling, so he retreated to the stern of the boat and waited for his father to arrive.

The queen watched Yongqi leave, and suddenly said to Hongyan: "When I married the emperor, it was the age of the fifth elder brother, the fifth elder brother is very similar to the emperor when he was young, but the emperor was already destined for his future life at that time, and he was full of pride, and he was not as cautious and careful as the fifth elder brother, and it was not easy for the children." Presumably, it will be not easy for the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother, you have to bother. ”

Hongyan said: "Your own children, it is inevitable to bother." Sister Concubine Yu is also worried about Yongqi, the palace was not peaceful before, she was sick one after another, and the mother always couldn't let go of her children. ”

The queen smiled: "That's not necessarily, giving birth to them is a kindness we have paid, why do we seem to owe them forever." I left my parents when I was a teenager and went to the emperor's side, and I didn't rely on my parents anymore, is our woman's family destined to rely on herself, and boys can eat their father's and mother's for a lifetime? ”

Hongyan said with a smile: "Niangniang has a point, but the concubines, if the girls can stay by their side, they are willing to worry about them for a lifetime." It is not easy for the concubines to get these children, and they can't talk about what they owe or pay, they just are willing. ”

Hearing these words, the queen understood even more how cruel Yongxuan's attempt to kill Xiao Sixteen was, her son had become a demon-like person, and he was able to push his young brother into the water with murderous intent, and such a distorted mind could not be reversed at all. But who caused all this, if she wasn't infatuated with Fu Qing, what would be the situation now, wouldn't she be infatuated with Brother Fu Qing, she would fight for it and compete with Wei Hongyan? Look, even if there were no such things at the beginning, she may not be able to predict what will happen now, but Yongxuan is her son, and in the face of everything in front of her, even if she can't be willing, she has to be responsible for him.

There was a lively movement on the shore, and a large number of people came in drovets, and the emperor finally returned, and he was a little tired after a bumpy day, but he promised the queen that he had to go to the appointment. When I got to the shore, I saw that the boat had already left, and I heard that Hongyan was also on it, so I couldn't delay, so I immediately took a small boat and came towards the imperial boat.

The emperor's ship was getting closer and closer, and Hongyan asked the queen if she wanted to meet her, and the queen said: "There are all guards and male ministers, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for us to go, and the emperor will not stick to these etiquette." ”

Hongyan agreed, and straightened the cloak on her body. Soon felt the hull of the ship, heard the movement of the stern, knew that Hongli had boarded the ship, raised her eyes to look at the gorgeous night scene around her, to be honest, she also thought about it yesterday, how good it would be if she could travel with Hongli, although the queen is by her side today, it can be regarded as complete.

More and more people are rushing here, and Hongyan is ready to take over, but suddenly he heard the queen say beside him: "Hongyan, after so many years, thank you, thank you for keeping a secret for me and being thoughtful for me." ”

Hongyan felt a chill on her back, and before she turned her head to look at the queen, the queen pounced on her, she was caught off guard and was pressed down by the queen, and the hairpin under the light came straight to her throat, but the face she was facing should be fierce, but it revealed heartbreaking sadness, and she heard the queen say, "I'm sorry." ”

But when the emperor heard the exclamation of the palace maid and rushed to the deck, he only saw the queen pressing her red face to the water's edge, and only heard the queen shouting angrily: "Slut, it was you who robbed me of everything, it was you who seduced the emperor to turn a blind eye to me, and in your eyes, there is no queen like me at all." Do you want to be the queen yourself, don't think about it, even if you die with you......"

The sudden change, Yongqi, who was following the emperor, looked stupid, wasn't it okay just now, why did it suddenly become like this? Seeing that the emperor was about to rush up to stop him, the golden light flashed by the sharp hairpin in the queen's hand, which shocked Yongqi's heart, and he stepped forward to stop his father and shouted: "Escort!" Escort! ”

Hongyan was pressed to the edge of the railing, the wind from the water poured straight into the back of her neck, if she struggled, she might fall into the water, if she resisted the queen's hairpin, she might pierce her throat, and the queen said inexplicable words, Hongyan felt a mess in her mind, and couldn't tell what was going on.

"Queen, let go of Hongyan, what are you going to do?" Hongli was stopped by Yongqi, he was very angry, and pushed him away, but Yongqi stepped forward again to stop him and said, "Huang Ama, be careful that Huang Eniang has a murder weapon in her hand." The emperor didn't have time to argue with his son at the moment, so he still wanted to push him away, while questioning the queen, "What's wrong, you put things down and let people go, I will tell you slowly." ”

The queen forced her face with a hairpin, refused to let go, and asked the emperor crying: "Does the emperor want to appoint the fifteenth elder brother as the crown prince, the emperor, what should I do with my Yongxuan?" Your Majesty, you promised your concubines to make Yongxuan the crown prince, and you promised your concubines that you would never spoil Wei Hongyan again. ”

Hongli's ears were buzzing, why did the queen's temperament change greatly, but what she said was the truth, although Hongli would not clearly establish the fifteenth elder brother, but the future has basically become a foregone conclusion, and Hongyan is the lifelong partner he wants to cherish, how can it be as simple as the word "pampered".

Yongqi saw that the emperor wanted to step forward to stop him personally, for fear that his father would be injured by the queen's hairpin, so he didn't care about waiting for the emperor's order, so he ordered the guards to rush up, the queen saw this posture, put her heart horizontally, and dragged Hongyan to turn over and jump down, Hongli rushed up like crazy, only slightly touched Hongyan's hand, and when he was about to hold on hard, his fingers hooked Hongyan's bracelet, and heard the muffled sound of the bracelet breaking, and then there was a loud bang, and the queen and Hongyan both fell into the water.

The sound of saving people one after another, the emperor was surrounded by people around him, they couldn't let the emperor jump into the dark and cold West Lake, and the scene of people jumping into the water to save people in front of him made Hongli return to the dark night more than ten years ago, the fear of the year was overwhelming, and he was afraid that from now on, he would be separated from Hongyan.

More and more people came, several small boats approached below the deck, Fu Heng just boarded the ship, he heard that there was an accident on the deck, he didn't think who it was, so he took people around the front in a small boat to save people. Knowing that it was the queen and Hongyan who fell into the water together, she was so shocked that she was terrified, and she looked for Hongyan's traces in the turbulent waves like crazy.

Hongyan only remembered that she had eaten a lot of water, she only remembered that she was put on a boat, and someone was always calling her in her ears, and she saw Fu Heng's face vaguely, and saw the figure of Hongli on the brightly lit imperial boat, and then she didn't know anything.

In the weaving mansion in Hangzhou, the Queen Mother was awakened by Yongchang just after sleeping, and the Queen Mother knew that no one would dare to disturb her good dreams without a major event, so she immediately woke up and asked: "What's wrong?" ”

Yong Chang trembled and said, "The queen mother and the concubine Ling fell into the water and were just sent back." ”

The Queen Mother sat up and ordered someone to go to find He Jinglai, and when she saw her granddaughter, she said, "Go and see what is going on." After thinking about it, he said, "Just go too, otherwise you will hide it from me again, how could the queen fall into the water with Wei Hongyan?" The Queen Mother thought it was incredible, and He Jing couldn't figure it out.

When the Queen Mother was hugged to the queen's bedroom, the twelve elder brothers were sitting paralyzed outside the door, the Queen Mother asked him a few words and did not answer, and when the Queen Mother entered the door, she was shocked by the scene in front of her, and the broken hair all over the ground was shocking, and the queen was only wearing thin bedclothes, sitting cross-legged on the couch.
