The capital of Southern Chu is Bianjing. Although it was the time of Qingming and Qingqing. But it is also a big day to worship ancestors once a year.

As the sun rises, the warm sunlight pours over the cascading cornices and pavilions, adding a sense of peace and warmth to the bustling scenery of Kyoto. The bustling streets and alleys are lined with wine shops, the inn teahouse is full of people, and the storyteller is foaming at the mouth and telling the secret anecdotes of the inner courtyard of the palace.

The ordinary people who returned from the outskirts of the city, walking in groups on the market, the sound of the wheels turning and the hawkers coming and going, the sound of the wheels turning and the hawkers shouting one after another, converged into a unique picture of the prosperous Bianjing morning market.

Today is even more lively. Because the royal family also had to go out of the city to worship. The people all wanted to see the rumored descendants of the Southern Chu Poison Gu. After all, this is the first royal memorial after Emperor Nanchu announced the return of the Holy Maiden of Southern Chu!

Xia Qingyi was dragged up by the maid before dawn to burn incense and bathe, and her eyes drooped from beginning to end, even if she was sent to the sedan chair, she was always in a groggy state, and the bumpy mountain road made the palace people sweat on a spring morning. But the little girl in her sleep was even more sleepy in this rhythmic ups and downs.

Until the sudden thunder drove away the original sun, the black clouds were thick, and after a while, it rained heavily. Xia Qingyi was awakened by the lightning and thunder, and Xiao Nizi, who had just woken up, heard the sound of instructions outside the sedan chair.

"Holy Maiden, the queen's sedan chair fell unexpectedly, the queen's mother was injured, in order to get medical treatment as soon as possible, I asked to go up to Taihang Mountain first。。。。。。。"

"Let the queen mother pass first!"

Xia Qingyi interrupted the words of the visitor, and directly agreed without care.

In Southern Chu, at all major celebrations and ceremonies, Emperor Nanchu is followed by the heirs of the poisonous Gu, followed by the queen, concubines and princes, princes, and princesses.

Such an order has not changed for thousands of years, and it also reflects the status of the saintess of Southern Chu.

Now he wants to make way for the middle palace, although there is a reason for it, but the people in the queen's palace are trembling, and after kneeling in fear, they step up their pace and pass through Xia Qingyi's relying team.

Xiao Nizi stared at the blood-stained figure that flashed in Fengyi's sedan chair, and guessed in her heart whether the 'accident and danger' was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

"The queen's eyes are closed, and she seems to be hurt a lot."

A child's familiar voice came from her ears, Xia Qingyi looked away, only to find that Ouyang Qingying was also in the sedan chair, but he was holding the ancient book in his hand and reading it without squinting.

"How do you know? Don't you even need to see it? The woman was surprised and didn't close her mouth. She has always known how powerful her brother is. But now that fleeting figure, even she only captured one picture. This little puppet child is clear.

"Well, naturally. The heart can see! ”

"Heart?" This kid is getting more and more mysterious, and answering her questions is so freewheeling.

It's as if he saw through his sister's distrust. The boy put down the book in his hand and said.

"When the queen mother first passed by, her breath was faint. It seems that it is not as simple as being frightened. ”

Oh! Xia Qingyi responded softly, disapproving. She is not interested in the battle of the harem, just don't drag her into the water. Whether it's a real fall, a fake fall, any calculation and planning, don't get involved with her, it's easy to say.

She just wants to stay out of it!

But wishes are often the opposite of facts. As soon as I arrived at the temple on the top of the hill and got off the carriage, someone came to report.

"Holy Maiden, the emperor invites you to finish the incense, and after worshipping the ancestors, go to the side room behind the main hall of the 'Guangyuan Temple', and discuss with you if you have something important!"

Talk to her? Xia Qingyi was full of curiosity, and hurried to the agreed place after completing the process.

He also has a calm look on his face.

"Your Majesty, what happened?????

The emperor glanced at the queen mother who had just finished bandaging on the bed and fell into a coma, and motioned Xiao Nizi to come out with him to talk further。。。。。。。

"The presiding abbot has only seen the queen's injury, and said that it is a curse, the queen's evil reincarnation, and Yu Nanchu is really an unknown person!"

Yes! Xia Qingyi almost exclaimed when she heard this! What's the situation, when she wakes up, the queen will become a demon queen?????

Trying her best to soothe her mind, Xiao Nizi cautiously tempted.

"So, what does the Holy One think of this!?"

Emperor Nanchu narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashing slightly.

"That is, born unknown! Influencing Guozuo, I prayed for Nanchu here, and I didn't have to go back to Beijing! ”

Syllable.......

Who is it!?????

I don't know the sound of someone knocking over the food box!

Xia Qingyi was shocked, her conversation with Emperor Nanchu must have been listened to by her subordinates, and it was likely to be the queen's mother.

secretly glanced at Emperor Nanchu, who was standing with his hands crossed, but he looked indifferent, as if this matter was a foregone conclusion.

Sure enough, after a while, the queen's desperate cry was heard。。。。。。

"Your Majesty, you can't treat your concubines like this, someone must have deliberately framed the palace, don't listen to slander!!!!"

The queen covered her face, full of tears. The gauze wrapped around his forehead was still faintly blood-red, so he was supported by others, looking at Emperor Nanchu in embarrassment.

"It's not what I said, the host master queen said that you framed him, you come to talk to her!"

The presiding abbot, who has been standing in the dark, turned the Buddha beads with one hand and recited silently in his mouth.

"Oh Buddha Mita, the monks don't speak, the queen is stained with blood, this time it is the heavens to warn me that Nanchu 。。。。。。"

"Shut up, where did the demon monk dare to slander the queen, who gave you the guts!"

Where could the nurse beside the queen see her master being humiliated like this, and she almost didn't want to reprimand her, but she forgot that there was still the emperor present today.

"You mean I'm slandering your master?"

A cold light burst out in Emperor Nanchu's eyes, and his tone did not carry a trace of warmth.

In the end, how could the queen mother, who has been married to the emperor for more than ten years, not know that the emperor had a murderous intention, and hurriedly protected the nurse behind her, begging.

"The emperor is angry! Mother Zhao grew up watching this palace since she was a child, and she lost her words for a while, but it can be said that the concubine is a disaster star, and the concubine must not recognize it! ”

The queen bit her lip tightly, her scarlet eyes bloodshot, but her chin was raised high.

"Master Abbot, the queen said that you framed her, do you have other statements to support you!"

Emperor Nanchu turned his head sideways and asked the old monk, as if he was also moved by the queen's words.

"There is one, please ask the emperor to find someone to check the sedan chair of the queen mother on the mountain and the bed where the queen has been lying!" The host master is not slow to advance, and replies calmly.

Emperor Nanchu immediately glanced at the chief eunuch beside him, and the old eunuch would whisper a few words to his personal attendant.

And the queen mother, who had seen the wind and waves, frowned, and her figure supported by the palace people was shaky.

She had a bad premonition! Very intense!

After a while, the attendant who had been ordered to check on trotted back with an embarrassed face.

"Emperor Qi, that, that。。。。。。 The emperor forgives the sins! Slave, slave dare not say!? ”

The attendant looked at the queen on the side, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"What then!? Why don't you dare!? I forgive you for your innocence, but you say it's all right! ”

There was a trace of anger on Emperor Nanchu's face, and the frightened attendant hurriedly knelt down to admit his guilt.

The minions checked the sedan chair where the queen was sitting, and there were blood stains on the bright yellow phoenix eyes.

"It looks like a phoenix crying blood, not only on the sedan chair, but also on the queen's cloak and the bed she slept on!"

"Everyone says that the phoenix crying blood is an ominous omen for the queen of the demon of the country!"

The people trembled, but they still gritted their teeth and told everything they saw and heard.

And the queen couldn't stand anymore, her eyes were dark, and her body softened!

As if anticipating the queen's reaction, Emperor Nanchu waved his hand.

"Someone! Take the queen to the wing room, so that the imperial doctor can be diagnosed and treated. After the sacrifice, the will of the Prophet is proclaimed. ”

"The queen mother was infected with a vicious disease and stayed in the 'Guangyuan Temple' to recuperate!"

The queen mother and the others, who were carried back to the wing room by their subordinates, opened their eyes as soon as they left.

Yes, she is pretending to be dizzy, and no amount of explanation for such a scene is pale。。。。。。。

She was fourteen years old, after the death of her eldest sister, she was sent by the family to the palace to succeed the queen, in order to win the trust of the Emperor of Southern Chu, she served the king for more than ten years, and did not dare to have a trace of slackness.

lived in fear all day long, lest he be rejected by him, knowing that Emperor Nanchu never had half of her in his heart, and he also abided by his duty. Bite the bullet. I only hope that one day, her son will be able to ascend to the throne, and she will get what she wants in this life。。。。。。

But I don't want to, I will be planted here today!

"Mother, my son heard that my father was going to leave you in the temple to recuperate, what happened to you?"

The prince heard the wind and forcibly pushed the guards away and rushed into the house. But when she saw that her tears were so tearful, the queen was so upright that she was lying on the bed and immediately frowned.

"Mother, you're not sick!? So what is this!? ”

The queen was so pale that a wry smile appeared on her face.

"The queen mother is not sick, but she has been enlightened by others, and your father has always wanted to find an opportunity to depose the queen mother, hehe."

The prince was shocked when he heard this, and after three steps and two steps, he stepped forward and grabbed the queen's hand.

"Who is it, who dares to harm you, tell Erchen that Erchen will let him die without a place to be buried!"

The queen mother looked at her son with gritted teeth and angry face, patted his hands, and said comfortingly.

"It's useless, your father has long been disgusted with your mother, this time he just seized the opportunity, so the queen mother can't accompany you."

"In the future, be careful in everything in the palace, remember not to be impulsive, and don't quarrel with your father!"

The queen stroked the prince's face, rubbing back and forth, she got a son, maybe if she said goodbye today, there would be no day to see each other again!

"And what about you, Queen Mother, what will you do? Or, when the retainers return to the palace, they will find someone to rescue you!? ”

The prince's eyes flickered, and he thought that he had thought of a way to darken Chen Cang.

But I saw the queen shake. "It's useless. When you return to the palace, your father will definitely find someone to monitor your every move. You can't have a chance to save your mother. ”

"But the queen mother didn't die so soon, recuperate, you have to take a few days to recuperate, and your father can tell the world."

"Your mother was sick and died. You promised the queen mother that you would not do anything! At least not yet! ”

"No, Queen Mother! Father can't do this to you! Erchen disagrees! ”

The prince's eyes were red, and he roared angrily.

"Good! Prince, listen to the queen mother, the queen mother will always go to the immortals, earlier and later! ”

"You remember, the queen mother's revenge, as long as you can ascend to that position, you will definitely have a chance to revenge!"

"But before that, you can't, you can't! The queen mother is gone, you have to endure even more! Be patient! ”

The queen clenched the prince's hands, and there were a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't tell them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor has come up to urge, let you finish the incense and go to the front hall!"

Outside the door, there was the urging voice of the palace people.

The prince wiped the moistness from the corners of his eyes, stabilized his mind, and then spoke.

"I know, you have returned to your father, and this prince will come soon!"

The queen let go of her hand and looked lovingly at the pride of her life。。。。。。

Go ahead! Child, remember what the queen mother said!
