"Nie Tian, why are you? It's so late, what are you doing sneaking around? Ye Anran asked suspiciously.

"Princess Niangniang, the prince told us to protect you secretly, we suspect that the black shadow you saw just now is an assassin, I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to you, Xiu Lei has already gone to chase you, I will stay to protect you, I am afraid that the assassin will leave the mountain." Nie Tian let go of his hand and said calmly.

"Assassins? No way? I didn't have a grudge against anyone, so why kill me? Ye Anran was a little strange, he has always been kind to people, without a trace of grievances, how could someone want to kill him, listening to Nie Tian's tone, it seems that this matter is quite serious, and it was the Xigong Jue who sent them to protect him.

"Princess Niangniang, you are too kind, so you always treat everyone as a good person, you don't offend others, it doesn't mean that others don't want to deal with you, in short, the lord said, the palace may not be peaceful recently, so we want to watch it carefully, you go back, it's windy outside." Nie Tian's solemn advice.

"Okay, I see, thank you, Nie Guard." Ye Anran smiled sweetly.

"You're welcome, princess, this is what our subordinates should do." Every time he faced Ye Anran's kindness and smile, Nie Tian always felt that the world suddenly became very beautiful.

Mrs. Jing, who was hiding in the shadows, observed for a long time, although she couldn't hear what the two were saying, but the plan really failed, her plan was to ask Peng Cheng to lure Ye Anran out, and then Peng Cheng to lure away the guards of the palace, and transfer the tiger away from the mountain to kill Ye Anran, but she didn't expect that Nie Tian appeared at this time, so that she had no chance to start, although she had not fought with Nie Tian yet, but it didn't seem too bad, Mrs. Jing was not 100% sure, so she could only give up, and she was looking for an opportunity to do it in the future.

Early the next morning

There was news from the palace that the queen was sick, and many dignitaries began to visit with gifts, and Xigong Jue was no exception.

"An Ran, do you want to accompany me into the palace?" Xigong Jue asked Ye Anran's opinion for the first time.

"Don't go, you go, I know the queen is sick, go and see." Ye Anran didn't have a good impression of the queen, and she was embarrassed by her every time, so she didn't want to go, but she was very happy, Xigong Jue at least respected her and asked her opinion.

"Okay, then I'll go, you try not to go out in the palace, even if you go out, you have to take Nie Tian with you, understand?" Xigong Jue said worriedly.

"Got it, don't worry." Ye Anran nodded obediently, although he didn't know how Xigong Jue had behaved in the past few days, his vigilance was so high, but the black shadow he saw last night was not accidental, so Ye Anran didn't dare to take it lightly.

Then the Lord of the West Palace got into the carriage and entered the palace.

Jiuhua Palace

Shen Bilan was actually just a little cold, but because of her noble status, the emperor often stayed in Jiuhua Palace recently, so her status suddenly rose again.

"Queen Mother, King Ryan is here, outside the door, do you want to see you?" Xiao Man, the personal palace maid, asked in a low voice.

"Let him in, and...... You go and block everyone, and don't let anyone else in, this palace has something to say to King Ryan alone. "Since the personal palace maid Xiao Man is a confidant, Shen Bilan will not hide it.

"Yes." Xiao Man received the order and complied.

After a while, Xigong Jue walked in, and the black brocade robe was his perennial color, which made it look a little deeper.

"The queen is auspicious." The Lord of the West Palace still saluted obediently.

"Jue, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to salute." Shen Bilan lay on the phoenix couch and said softly.

"Etiquette is indispensable." Xigong Jue said lightly.

Shen Bilan looked at the man in front of her sadly: "Jue, do you have to do this to me?" ”

"Why did the queen say this?" Nishinomiya Jue asked knowingly.

"Please don't do this to me, you used to treat me ...... Very good, isn't it? Shen Bilan was so aggrieved that she almost wanted to cry.

"But that was before, you were my Lan'er before, and now you ...... You're the queen mother, and your identity is different. Xigong Jue sighed and said.

"Jue, you still love me, don't you?" Shen Bilan's old story was brought up again.

"Does it make sense to say this at this time?" Nishinomiya Jue asked rhetorically.

"If you don't say it, I know that you still have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have married that woman, that Mrs. Jing is just like me, isn't it?" Shen Bilan is aggressive, you must ask to understand.

Xigong Jue pondered for a moment and replied slowly: "Yes, but so what? ”

"Jue, do you really still love me, and you still have me in your heart?" Shen Bilan cried with joy, and it seemed that the whole person was also excited.

"Yes, I have you in my heart, and I have always loved you, but so what? Can you change this outcome? Xigong Jue asked impatiently.

"I can." Shen Bilan said seriously.

"What?" Xigong Jue was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she meant by this sentence.

"Lord, Queen...... I'm going to do it, but ...... I want to be with you too. Shen Bilan slowly said what she thought in her heart.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, Lan'er, are you still so greedy?" Xigong Jue looked at Shen Bilan with complicated eyes.

"No, it's possible, listen to me, Jue, I think...... I want to be your queen. Shen Bilan said word by word, not loud, but enough for Xigong Jue to hear clearly.

"What? You...... Do you want to ......? Xigong Jue immediately understood the meaning of these words, and his face changed greatly.

Shen Bilan nodded, and said with tears: "Jue, I have no other way, I am still young, if I continue to be tortured like this, I will die, you don't know, he is very ruthless and indifferent, he would rather give those low-level concubines a hug than give me a smile, I am an ornament by his side, I don't want to watch my youth pass like this, and guard the empty room until death, Jue, I love you, I want to be your queen, I will help you, believe me, we will definitely be able to." ”

"Lan'er, do you know what you're talking about?" Xigong Jue asked with a solemn face.

"I know, I understand, so don't question me, I've been thinking about this for a long time, can you just promise me? If you don't help me...... So I...... It's all on your own. Shen Bilan's eyes darkened, and she said ruthlessly.

"Lan'er, don't come nonsense, what do you do yourself, do you still want to rebel?" Xigong Jue was a little flustered.

"No, it's not going to be a rebellion, but I'll get rid of all the women he likes, get rid of them all, he spoils one, I'll kill one, including ...... Ye Anyao. "Shen Bilan is really crazy, maybe these days are too depressing.

She was only a young woman of about twenty years old, and she was asked to be widowed at such a young age, how could she be willing?

And although the emperor has stayed here for the past few days, it looks very beautiful on the surface, and everyone says that the emperor and the queen are very affectionate, but only she knows the bitterness in her heart.
