Xie Ziyi slept in a coma for a day and a night, and when he first opened his eyes, he felt that his body was stiff and tired, and his face was swollen and painful.

"Thirsty, water."

His voice was very hoarse, and Xie Ziyi opened his mouth with difficulty to drink water.

"Niangniang, Niangniang is awake, bring water."

The palace maids who were guarding the side hurriedly moved, delivering water, preparing food, and putting on clothes, hurried and organized.

"Picking the stars and the moon."

Xie Ziyi slowed down and began to ask about the whereabouts of the two sisters, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would kill her.

"Don't worry, the regent sent someone to bring back the two sisters. Now they are recuperating in their respective rooms, and this morning they are still struggling to see their mother, but the imperial doctor stopped them. ”

Xie Ziyi was relieved when she heard this, and asked how the two sisters were injured.

"The injuries look serious, but they are all skin injuries, and you can recuperate for a while. Niangniang, your body needs to be more attentive, the imperial doctor said that if it goes on like this, it will affect the heirs. ”

Xie Ziyi never thought about the child, and he died here, and the fact that the heir was far away.

"Was it the regent who brought me out of Zhaoyang Palace? Can there be a conflict with the Queen Mother? Xie Zi sat on the bed, secretly glad that he had made the right bet, Si Fan was strong, and he would not tolerate others touching the person he liked.

"Not really. The Queen Mother began to refuse to let go, and the prince directly ordered the Praetorian Guards to search the palace. also grounded the Queen Mother and seized the jurisdiction of the harem. In the future, you will be the master of this harem. ”

The palace maid showed a face full of joy, and her words were bold, which showed that the queen mother's loss of power was true.

The pearl diver next to him added: "The regent himself brought you back, and he watched over you for another hour before leaving." ”

Xie Ziyi had mixed feelings, she was surprised that Si Fan would do this for herself.

The Queen Mother is not single, her father is a prince who has gone through three generations, and the Wen family behind her is flourishing. Si Fan acted so ruthlessly, I am afraid that not only for himself, but also for the Wen family, may be an eyesore.

"The Queen Mother and the prince are old acquaintances."

Xie Ziyi thought of the Queen Mother's attitude, which was quite intriguing. Although what he said that day was false, it was very much in line with his identity and Si Fan's character. The Queen Mother's reaction was a little unusual, she was dedicated to protecting Si Fan, and they should have a discordant relationship with each other.

"The prince was in the cold palace until he was fifteen years old, and then he guarded the border for seven years, and was promoted from an unfavored prince to a prince with military power."

"Si Fan actually grew up in the cold palace?"

Xie Ziyi knew that Si Fan would become a tyrannical monarch in the future, and he acted extremely ruthlessly, and even killed the male protagonist of the original book with his own hands, but he never knew Si Fan's childhood.

The palace maid nodded, and said with a sigh: "On the day the prince was born, he was told about the cold palace with his mother. I heard that Concubine Hui was very strict with the prince, starving at every turn, and the punishment was even more all year round, and the wind, frost, rain and snow never stopped. The palace people in the cold palace watched the wind and steered the rudder, and abused the master for pleasure. ”

Xie Ziyi's heart was touched, he had never thought that the powerful regent would have such a miserable childhood.

In a trance, I seemed to see a child covered in scars, kneeling in the rain in a daze. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the child's body gradually became unstable. He stared persistently at the closed door, expecting his mother to open the door and carry him back in distress.

Until he lost consciousness, the door never opened, and his heart was cold from the rain.

Xie Ziyi was silent for a while and asked, "What about Si Fan's mother." ”

"After the prince returned to the court, he ordered all the subordinates of the cold palace to be executed in Ling Chi, and released Concubine Hui, but I heard that they had never met. Concubine Hui was already crazy at that time, and the day after she came out of the cold palace, she set fire to the palace and herself. ”

After hearing this, Xie Ziyi let out a long sigh, only feeling that everything has a reason, and it is reasonable for Si Fan to be so temperamental.

On the second day, Xie Ziyi summoned to help take care of the grandmother and eunuch.

"The harem was handed over to the palace to manage. First of all, Jingyang Palace's food and clothing and other portions have been reduced by seventy, and more importantly, charcoal, the Queen Mother likes to be cool, and this year I will send one percent. ”

The corners of Xie Ziyi's mouth moved slightly, his tone was light, and after a few words, Jingyang Palace had a difficult winter.

Everyone looked at each other, not wanting the queen to look sick and weak, but she was so thunderous.

Xie Ziyi looked at the expressions of the people below and tapped on the table, "The regent opened his mouth and handed over the palace affairs to the palace, and the palace, as the queen of Great Qin, is naturally duty-bound, and you will obey the order in the future." There will be no shortage of rewards for doing a good job, and the Criminal Division will also welcome it. ”

Everyone knelt down and bowed, not daring to say more. This one has the support of the regent.

Xie Ziyi is not a bully, Si Fan handed over the knife, she naturally will not be soft. This winter is particularly cold, I hope the Queen Mother is strong.

On this day, the palace maid reported that the prime minister's wife asked to enter the palace. In the past, the queen mother was in power, and it was difficult for the concubines and their families to enter the palace, but now that the mother is coming, Xie Ziyi naturally has no objection.

Xie Ziyi sat and waited in the main hall, his fingers were handkerchief, and his heart was nervous.

This is the first time she has seen the mother of the original owner, and the mother and daughter are connected, I wonder if this lady can see the clue.

The palace people have finally arrived.

Xie Ziyi got up and went to the gate of the palace to greet him.

I saw that the woman at the head was wearing a blue dark flower moire dress, wearing a green snow hairpin on her head, with a rich figure and a kind face.

When the woman saw the salute, her eyes were already red when she took the lead.

"Mother, get up quickly."

As soon as she looked at her, Xie Ziyi felt what mother's love was.

"Yiyi, why are you so thin, but the palace is not very used to it."

The two sat down, Xie Ziyi was asked by his mother holding hands, and Mrs. Xie's eyes were full of care and distress.

"My mother doesn't have to worry about me, I'm very good in the palace, and the palace people are also dedicated."

Xie Ziyi saw a suspicious look on her mother's face, she has lost a lot of weight recently, so she naturally can't hide it from her mother.

"Yiyi has grown up and knows that good news is not bad. Your father and I heard outside the palace that the regent Si Fan and the Queen Mother were embarrassed by you, but it was true. ”

Xie Ziyi didn't want the Prime Minister to offend Si Fan and the Wen family because of himself, so he comforted his mother.

"Yiyi, you don't need to be afraid, our Xie family protects our daughter, and no one can bully you and get out safely. My father and I fought hard to get rid of Si Fan. ”

Xie Ziyi cried and laughed, her heart was as warm as spring, and she felt that she had a support in the future. Only family members are strong backing, and the Xie family will be their own home in the future. She will also protect her family with her life.

She threw herself into her mother's arms, tears welling up in her eyes, comforting and reassuring.

The mother and daughter talked for a while. Mrs. Xie mentioned that Prime Minister Xie saved a man on the street.

"That little boy of the Wen family is so arrogant, and several guards beat up the young man, so pitiful. Fortunately, your father passed by and saved the child. ”

Mrs. Xie's face was indignant, and she was extremely dissatisfied with Wen Lu's actions.

"Wen family? I think it's the queen mother's family, why is the family so lax. When Wen Guogong was young, he was also a good handsome on the battlefield and made great contributions to Daqin. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. However, the children and grandchildren are becoming more and more unsuccessful, and Wenlu is the first gentleman in the capital. Buying and selling official positions to accumulate wealth, and bullying the people, the Wen family is afraid that they have taken a dead end. ”

Xie Ziyi nodded, thinking of Si Fan's punishment of the Queen Mother that day, the Wen family couldn't go far.

"However, as long as Wen Guogong is still alive, the Wen family can hold on. But Guogong has been ill for a long time, and I don't know how long he can last. ”

After all, it is the queen mother's mother's family, and Xie Ziyi has no good feelings at all. In the coming days, maybe you will have to deal with the above family, but it's a pity that Wen Guogong is strong.

Xie Ziyi asked if the lifter was okay. My father has always looked at talented people, and I am afraid that he has some ability.

"There was no loss of life, and it will not affect the imperial examination in February next year. Coincidentally, the name of the child is Xu Shiliang, and he is the brother of the concubine in this palace. ”

Xie Ziyi was taken aback, he didn't expect such a coincidence.

Since that day, Xie Ziyi appeased Li Concubine, and Li Concubine often came to Zhaoyang Palace, and she was the most sticky to Xie Ziyi. There are systemic factors in this, and Li Concubine should have psychological trauma.

Xie Ziyi heard Concubine Li mention her brother, and her tone was very intimate and trusting, and it was her brother who sent her to Beijing when she was a draft girl. I don't know how Xu Shiliang provoked Wen Lu.

"They should have old grudges, I see that Xu Shiliang mentions Wenlu, and he can't wait to eat his flesh and eat his blood."

Xie Ziyi thought for a while, remembering that Si Fan suddenly mentioned the matter of Concubine Li that day.

"Okay Mother, let's not talk about outsiders."

Xie Ziyi hugged her mother and was coquettish. Her mother died early in modern times, but she didn't expect to feel mother's love in this world and cherish it.

"Don't talk about outsiders. Tell me what's going on with you and Si Fan. How can I hear that he insulted you one moment, and then I heard that he saved you. ”

Speaking of Si Fan, Xie Ziyi didn't know how to explain it for a while. can only perfunctory say that Si Fan takes care of himself quite a lot, and there is no bullying, just rumors.

Mrs. Xie saw that her daughter didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask more. But I knew in my heart that no matter what Si Fan was, the Queen Mother had deceived her own daughter, and the Wen family could not hand it over, and she would definitely ask the master to join them when she went back.

Xie Ziyi left his mother to see off in Caixia Xixian reluctantly.

"I miss my mother and pass the message, it won't be much easier to enter the palace in the future."

Mrs. Xie was surprised that her daughter had grown up so quickly, and she was distressed that it was not easy for her daughter to survive in the harem.

The daughter entered the palace with illness at the age of fifteen, and she was naïve when she went, but now that she is only a few months old, she has to learn to intrigue.

*

In Jingyang Palace, the Queen Mother was trembling with two quilts.

This year's charcoal fire is only one percent of previous years, and Jingyang Palace is complaining.

"That slut dares to do this to this palace. She thought that if there was Si Fan's bias, she would have no fear, and she was extremely arrogant. When Hongu was in the harem, she was still a little doll. ”

"The Queen Mother naturally looks down on the little queen. But Jingyang Palace can't go on like this, and the amount of food sent is barely enough, but the charcoal fire is never enough. Mama was considering the wording on the side, and the Queen Mother would not do anything, but no one cared about their frostbite to death.

The palace people are also human beings, if they can't even save their lives, they won't do things wholeheartedly. Within ten years, the palace people will run their own way, and Jingyang Palace will become a sieve.

"Hongu knows. Si Fan was not allowed to go out of the palace, and sent someone to handle it outside Jingyang Palace, he was really fascinated by the fox spirit. Someday, he will know who is worth taking to heart. ”

Mama didn't expect that because Si Fan had come to such a scene, the Queen Mother still didn't give up.

"That's what you're saying. The regent was just blinded by the little hoof for a while, and the queen mother was naturally the best. ”

Only then did the Queen Mother ease her expression and said, "Send a message to my father, and don't avoid my grandfather." The owner of the harem is still the main palace, and Xie Ziyi has been jumping up and down for the past few days. Hongu is going to send her to death this time. ”
