Qu Xiaonan's expression was very ugly for a moment, she didn't expect that in just a few months, earth-shaking changes had taken place.

Her heart couldn't help but be filled with sadness and despair, and her eyes became red. She clenched her fingers so hard that her joints turned white, almost crushing the palms of her own.

She had just fallen in love with someone, but she was slapped in the face, telling her that she had to be forced to accept the existence of her husband and another woman.

"Li Xiuye, what have you done during this time? Why did you become the new emperor in just a few months? Why am I your wife's wife, but now I am only your concubine? She gritted her teeth and tried to calm herself down.

She had too many questions to ask him right now.

Li Xiuye looked at her, with a hint of pity in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold her cold hand, and his voice was as soft as the wind: "Xiao Nan, I will explain these issues to you clearly in the future, you go back to the palace now to stay, go and see your new residence, and see if you like it or not." ”

Qu Xiaonan looked at his gaze, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

She didn't know if she should listen to him.

She thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "I hope you can make it clear to me later." ”

After speaking, Qu Xiaonan turned around and was taken away by several maids and went to her new residence.

Li Xiuye saw her go away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of bitterness.

Qu Xiaonan was sent to a deserted courtyard, she raised her eyes and looked around, her eyes were a little confused, this place was secluded and uninhabited, except for a dozing guard guarding the door, she couldn't even see any other figures.

"Niangniang, you will live here in the future, Your Majesty specially instructed that it is quiet here, and it will not disturb your rest!" The maidservant stepped forward and said respectfully.

Qu Xiaonan bowed slightly, her brows frowned slightly, and she was a little puzzled: "Is it noisy elsewhere?" “

"Niangniang, Your Majesty instructed the slaves and maids to take care of you, naturally you will not let Niangniang be wronged, there has been a lot of noise outside recently, naturally you can't disturb the tranquility of Niangniang!" The handmaid replied with a smile.

Qu Xiaonan's brows furrowed even deeper, and the confusion in his heart became thicker.

Qu Xiaonan's mind flashed the beautiful and moving appearance of Zhao Qingshuang just now, her face was pale, her eyes drooped slightly, she didn't expect that Li Xiuye's former lover was so beautiful, and she was not as good as her......

Qu Xiaonan was led into the house by the maid, it was simple and simple, except for a bed, there were no other decorations, only some simple ornaments, which looked ordinary.

It is even more humble than the mansion of General Fengyun, and it is not even as simple as the ordinary official eunuchs.

She sat down at the dresser, involuntarily raised her hand and stroked her face, and couldn't help but sigh, what is her situation now.

It turned out that he had known the danger of this battle for a long time, but he promised the emperor to fight because he wanted to save the person he loved, but he was obviously his husband......

Qu Xiaonan's eyes were sour, and she sucked the tip of her nose hard, but after thinking about it, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, as long as Li Xiuye is sincere to herself, she thinks she can try to accept Zhao Qingshuang as a woman.

After all, they are a married couple who have visited the church, and how can I say that he is her husband......

Qu Xiaonan thought of this, the gloom in her heart finally dissipated a lot, she changed her mood and prepared to go out for a walk, as for the doubts in front of her now, she believed that Li Xiuye would explain it clearly to herself in the future.

She walked to the gate of the courtyard, but was intercepted by two powerful guards at the door. She was slightly startled and looked at one of the guards.

I saw that the guard was dressed in a black robe, his face was expressionless, and a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes were staring at her, and there was a faint sense of vigilance in his eyes.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty has ordered, without Your Majesty's permission, you can't go out of here for half a step, and please don't be embarrassed." The guard said in a deep voice.

Qu Xiaonan looked at the guard, and his eyes revealed a little anger. She pursed her lips: "Why can't I go out?" Isn't this going to lock me up? ”

"Please be considerate of my mother." The guard replied respectfully with a bowed bow.

When Qu Xiaonan heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes: "That's it, since that's the case, I'll wait for him to come to me." “

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the house, and after thinking about it, she always felt that something was wrong, and she was like this now, as if she was under house arrest.

For several days, Li Xiuye did not come to her, but sent batches of people to send food and clothing.

Her mind gradually became active, and she couldn't help but wonder if Li Xiuye was tired of her, so she ignored her.

Sure enough, while she was thinking about these things, her residence ushered in Zhao Qingshuang.

This is the only person who has come to visit her in the past few days.

It's not Li Xiuye, it's a rival in love, how ridiculous.

"Sister. Zhao Qingshuang walked up to her with a bright smile: "How are you doing these days, are you still used to living?" ”

Qu Xiaonan also greeted him with a smile: "Well, it's okay, sister, come in and sit." ”

She was quite enthusiastic and invited Zhao Qingshuang in, and then beckoned the maid to serve tea, and the maid served tea to the two of them and retreated.

Qu Xiaonan picked up the cup, took a sip, and then put it on the table.

Zhao Qingshuang looked left and right at this shabby house, and a faint gentle smile appeared on her lips: "My sister's residence is really simple, I didn't expect Xiu Ye to give this kind of place to my sister to live in, it's really lacking in heart." ”

"Sister, don't worry, although this place is simple, it is also quite clean and tidy." Qu Xiaonan replied with a smile, and she couldn't help but guess Zhao Qingshuang's intention in coming here.

Sure enough, within a moment, Zhao Qingshuang went straight to the point. There was always a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth: "Sister, my sister came here today to say something from her heart." “

"Sister, please speak." Qu Xiaonan smiled and spoke.

"My sister must be a smart and clever girl, presumably, you must have a lot of doubts in your heart these days, and I can answer what Xiu Ye can't tell you."

Qu Xiaonan's heart couldn't help but chuckle, she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qingshuang in some surprise, she didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Qu Xiaonan tentatively asked a question: "That...... Since you know everything, I want to ask you, how did Li Xiuye cross many times and inherit the new emperor in two months? Where is the first emperor? ”

Zhao Qingshuang heard her words, and immediately the corners of her mouth hooked up a sarcastic arc: "Didn't Xiu Ye tell you these questions?" “

Seeing this, Qu Xiaonan's eyes flickered.

Zhao Qingshuang still decided to tell her: "That's because this is his plan for many years, and he has long been full of hatred for the first emperor's biological father."

The first emperor didn't know that he was his own son, so he asked him to go to the battle, and the reason why Xiu Ye agreed was because the enemy threatened me, so he would respond regardless of his life.

Unexpectedly, he still fell into the trap of the first emperor, and he will also plan it, taking this opportunity to inform the first emperor of his identity, the first emperor knew that Xiu Ye was his biological son, and died of heart disease in excitement.

Xiu Ye's efforts over the years, but he just wants to inherit the throne, and now that the first emperor is dead, Xiu Ye is naturally the new emperor. ”

Qu Xiaonan's pupils shrank suddenly, her heart stopped for a while, and she felt that her blood was solidifying: "Before the first emperor died, didn't he make an edict to say that Li Xiuye was the new emperor?" If not, Li Xiuye is now seeking power and usurping the throne! ”

Zhao Qingshuang shook his head lightly: "The first emperor didn't say anything at that time, but just explained that if he died, he would pass on the new emperor's to the crown prince, as for Li Xiuye......" She said this, so she looked at Qu Xiaonan as a difficult look.

"Why don't you care about such a big thing? This is a usurpation of power, isn't the position of the crown prince supported by the four princes? Fu Liang should be the new emperor, you are calculating the throne like this, will the ministers really tolerate you? Qu Xiaonan stood up excitedly.

Zhao Qingshuang saw her reaction so excitedly, and quietly comforted her with a face on her face: "Sister don't be impatient, why is my sister still talking to others?" Could it be that the fourth prince is your husband? If it's not, why speak for him?

My sister needs to know who is sitting on the throne now, and the ministers who are not satisfied will only be eliminated. “

When she said this, she suddenly paused, she glanced at Qu Xiaonan deeply, and saw that she didn't refute her meaning anymore, and continued: "You are a woman who cultivates Ye, you have to remember your position." ”
