Xue Jiao helped the Empress Dowager to walk in front, and when she came out of the imperial garden, there was a long corridor, the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a trace of impatience, and her arms were slightly open: "It's better to let the minions help, you can talk to the mourning family on the side." ”

In this case, Xue Jiao fell easily, put down her arms, and nodded: "Yes"

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, but took the lead in walking, Xue Jiao followed behind, Concubine Yun followed behind the Empress Dowager, glanced at Xue Jiao sideways, and said with a little jealousy: "My sister is really lucky, I can get so much love from the emperor, but my sister I have been in the palace for so long, but it is difficult to even see the emperor's face." ”

If it is sour, it obviously tastes very good, Xue Jiao's lips are silent, why can't she even save the child? Thinking that Si Tou Feng had a child, Xue Jiao thought of the child she had never seen before, her heart was cold, and her face couldn't help but be a little stiff.

The hands are clenched hard, and the cover is excellent, and the wide sleeves cover it tightly.

At this time, the Empress Dowager spoke: "Concubine Yun has to learn from Concubine Xue well, don't work hard all day long." ”

The Empress Dowager's words instantly said that Concubine Yun's face was stiff. But he still had to break his teeth and swallow it back into his stomach: "Yes"

After walking for a while, a huge courtyard sits in the depths of the palace, and the front gate is overgrown with weeds of uneven height, and the dilapidated gate is tightly hidden.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but stop here when she left, and looked up at the courtyard in front of her, her eyes shining with a deep and distant luster.

"Do you know where this is?"

Xue Jiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her originally lowered head slowly raised and looked in the direction that the Queen Mother said.

Her face was visibly paler, how could she not know where this was? How could she forget the pain it had brought her.

A few big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the high door plaque appeared in front of Xue Jiao's eyes, it is said that this was written by his own hand at that time, and it was the first time she faced this place since she came to the palace.

"The concubine doesn't know."

"It's no wonder that you probably didn't think you'd be in this place at the time." The Empress Dowager said, her tone was hard to hide.

Once, because of the people who lived here, she almost lost her grandson, who had been taking care of her palm since she was a child, and now that woman is gone, there is another one. As the king of a country, how can she be tied up because of her feelings, she can't let the slightest possibility appear.

Concubine Yun saw that the Empress Dowager did not speak, so she took care of herself: "Here, it was originally the residence of Empress Xiahou, and it is the courtyard closest to the emperor's bedroom. Concubine Yun said, looking at Xue Jiao, hoping to see some painful looks on Xue Jiao's face, and continued: "Since Empress Xiahou left, the emperor has stayed alone in this palace for ten days, without eating or drinking, which shows that the emperor's heart for Empress Xiahou is unsurpassed. ”

After Concubine Yun finished speaking, she then stared at Xue Jiao, but half a ring, she was disappointed, because Xue Jiao did not have the slightest sadness, as if she was listening to a story that had nothing to do with herself, yes, it was none of her business, she was now Ling Xuejiao, not the Xiahou Queen she kept saying, the previous Xiahou Queen was in love with Si Teng Feng, but now Ling Xuejiao can't wait to watch him die in front of her.

The hands clenched secretly tightened into fists.

She opened her mouth indifferently, and her voice was like the clarity of an ethereal mountain spring: "Since the emperor loves Queen Xiahou so much, why did he hug left and right after Xiahou's funeral for less than a month, and the palace concubines were like clouds?" His cold eyes looked up at Concubine Yun.

"This ......" Concubine Yun didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Okay," the Empress Dowager frowned, just listening to the conversation between the two of them, she couldn't help but think of the past, if Si Teng Feng loved Xiahou Ningwu, she really believed it, "The mourning family is tired, just go back and rest." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Concubine Yun, "Concubine Yun, go back to the palace by yourself, it's good that the mourning family has Concubine Xue to send it." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Yun's face was calm, she lowered her head, and a sinister smile crossed her lips: "Yes." ”

Xue Jiao stepped forward and was about to support the Empress Dowager, but saw the Empress Dowager dodging her arms without a trace.

Yuhua Palace

The huge palace was very quiet at this time, and even the shallow breathing sound could be heard clearly.

In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the Empress Dowager dismissed all the palace people and sat on a luxurious tiger skin couch.

Xue Jiao stood not far away with her head down, she always felt that today was a little unusual. There is always some psychological uneasiness.

"Ling Xuejiao......" The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to hold the tea handed over by Fang Cai's servant, took a sip, and seemed to murmur: "Your arrival was beyond the expectations of the mourning family. ”

I thought that after a Xiahou dance left, everything was over, but a woman suddenly broke in,

Xue Jiao looked up at the Empress Dowager in confusion: "The concubine doesn't know what the Empress Dowager means." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, all this has been doomed since you stepped into the palace and since you captured Feng'er's heart."

The Empress Dowager's lukewarm tone, Xue Jiao's heart was filled with a trace of bitterness, it seemed that they couldn't wait.

"The Empress Dowager thinks Xue Jiao is a threat to you?" Xue Jiao said calmly: "Or does the Empress Dowager think that Xue Jiao has the ability to make the emperor betray you?" ”

"Bold," the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, obviously hitting her mind: "Is this the tone in which you are talking to the mourning family?" ”

"Huh...... A dying person, I wonder what tone the Empress Dowager wants her to speak? There was a dead silence in her sarcastic eyes, looking at the old man in the high position, she had to be ruthless, she had seen it as early as when Ruo'er left.

Seeing that his purpose was exposed, "Hmph, since you have some self-knowledge, you don't need to say more:" The ruthless eyes are like a sharp sword that wants to Ling Chi Xuejiao. "Do you want to do it yourself or let the mourners do it?" ”

After speaking, I saw Concubine Yun, who was supposed to go back to the palace, walk out from behind the screen, "My sister is really a smart person, but it's a pity that such a smart and beautiful person is about to disappear from this world today." ”

Xue Jiao was surprised to see Concubine Yun, and said indifferently: "Oh? I don't know how Sister Yunfei is going to let Xue Jiao die? ”

"Huh...... : Concubine Yun's wanton and arrogant laughter is like a hideous cold wind at night, overcast.

"It seems that my sister is not afraid at all."

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Yun's smug face, and her face turned cold: "Concubine Yun, the person the mourning family asked you to find." ”

Concubine Yun hurriedly walked to the Empress Dowager's side, "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager has come." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted twice, and a dark shadow jumped down from the beam. Respectfully salute. "Minions see the Empress Dowager."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager glanced at the man in black kneeling on the ground, "Let's do it." '”
