After Emperor Dehui led the chief eunuch and his party away, Pei Rongfang stepped into the inner hall and saw the queen sitting pale on the couch, her chest rising and falling, her eyes staring at the front, obviously angry.

Pei Rong couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth the Queen Mother's back.

Before, when she was waiting outside the palace, she vaguely heard the sound of disputes in the hall and the angry reprimand of the master, thinking that the conversation between the master and the emperor and the prince was not harmonious.

When she saw the prince coming out of the palace, her face was pale, she was very worried, and she wanted to ask but couldn't. If they want to survive in this palace, they must not inquire about the affairs of their masters at will, and only by not listening, seeing, or speaking can they live for a long time.

She had no choice but to put the hand warmer prepared in advance in the hands of the prince, and sent two palace people to hold an umbrella for the prince, and watched the prince walk into the snow.

Thinking of this, Pei Rong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Now seeing the queen mother's expression, she has guessed probably, it seems that the prince may have known the master's desire to deal with the girl in the evening of the moon, even if the master does not want the prince to know, and deliberately avoided the prince, but people are not as good as heaven, after all, there is a gap between their mother and son.

However, Pei Rong didn't know that there was much more to the Queen Mother's worries at this moment.

Emperor Dehui's words still echoed in the ears of the Queen Mother, especially the resentful eyes like poisonous snakes, although fleeting, they always remained in her mind and lingered.

The Queen Mother's heart was like a boulder pressed against her, which made her feel depressed, and she felt short of breath and chest tightness and couldn't breathe.

She hurriedly instructed Pei Rong to push open a few windows, and a gust of cold wind suddenly penetrated into the hall with the cold air, injecting a touch of clarity into the warm air of the earth dragon, and the Queen Mother gradually relaxed a little and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pei Rong, do you say that the emperor has been hating the mourning family for Qin Qing's affairs back then, so he has become increasingly estranged from the mourning family over the years, and what the mourning family does not let him do, he wants to do it, wanting to take revenge on the mourning family."

The Queen Mother turned her eyes to look out the window, her eyes were empty and confused, and her tone was no longer as tough as before, with a little more vicissitudes of life.

When Pei Rong heard this, she was stunned at first, her expression was a little stunned, and then a trace of evasion flashed in her eyes, but she instantly retracted.

Pei Rong was silent, and comforted herself: "Master, don't think nonsense, even if there are bumps between lips and teeth, how can there be no stumbles between mother and son?" What's more, the emperor is still the king of a country, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some differences of opinion with you, but you and the emperor are connected by blood after all, which is a fact that no one can change. Even if the emperor was resentful of his master about Concubine Qin's affairs, more than 20 years have passed since this matter, and no matter how deep the resentment is, it has long since disappeared. Moreover, it was the emperor who was determined to execute Concubine Qin, and it had nothing to do with the master, who was pregnant with Liujia at the time and worried about this matter every day, if it wasn't for the emperor's body, I am afraid that the emperor's position as the prince would also ......."

The Queen Mother's thoughts drifted into the distance with Pei Rong's words, and the Queen Mother couldn't hear Pei Rong's words clearly. She stared out the window in a daze, and the fragments of the past fell into her eyes like snow, and the images that once existed in her memory but were blurred gradually became clear.

"You actually kneel here for a woman regardless of your identity, what kind of decency!"

"The son has no intention of competing with them for this position, nor does he want to be an emperor, the son just wants to stay with Qingqing for a long time, and hope that the mother concubine will be fulfilled!"

"Bastard! If you don't want to be the emperor, someone else will do it, but if you let someone else sit on this throne, do you know what will happen to our mother and son? At that time, don't say that it is your Qingqing, and even the Zhou family may not be able to escape the doom! For the sake of a woman, can you bear to ignore your mother and the Zhou family? ”

……

"Shang'er, the mother concubine is pregnant, if you don't fight for this position, what kind of situation will your younger brother or sister face after birth, do you know?"

……

"She sacrificed everything just to put you on this throne, do you want to live up to her painstaking efforts?"

……

"Mother, please save Qingqing, father...... Father, he wants to give death to Qingqing, and my son begs you to save her! ”

"As a prince, for a woman who does not belong to you, you are crying and making trouble here in this palace, if it is spread out, how do you let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty view you? How do you make the world perceive you? ”

"The son doesn't care about other people's opinions, the son only asks his mother to save Qingqing! No matter what the mother wants her son to do in the future, the son will definitely do it, and I hope that the mother can save Qingqing's life! ”

"Save? How to save? Do you know that if you save her, you will die! ”

"For ...... Why......? ”

"You and her, can't you really see it when the emperor sees it? The emperor didn't break it, he only gave her death, which is to leave you with dignity, and he is protecting you and your position as the prince! Don't you understand?! ”

"My son doesn't want to be this prince at all! As long as he can save Qingqing, what does it matter if his son is not the prince? Even if it is to lose his son's life, what does it matter? ”

"Confused! Do you think you still have a choice? Even if you don't be the prince, even if you are willing to exchange your life for her life, do you think the emperor will let her go? At that time, she will only die a hundred times more painful than at this moment, and she will not even be able to keep her whole corpse! ”

"Father...... Why is he so ruthless? ”

"As a ruler, you must first remove your weaknesses, so that others cannot easily see through your mind. You don't hesitate to expose your weaknesses and weaknesses in front of others for this woman, if the emperor doesn't kill her, until the day of the East Window incident, can you block the mouth of the Manchu minister? The emperor's move is to pave the way for you and relieve you from the siege! ”

……

"Mother, as you wish, from now on, my son will have no weakness."

The fragments of memory are frozen here.

Suddenly, a wind poured into the hall from outside the window, and the cold air spread along the lines of the brocade jacket, as if it was about to penetrate into the heart of the queen mother, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but shiver.

The Queen Mother had accumulated too many complex emotions in her heart, which made her almost on the verge of collapse, and an unspeakable sense of anxiety had been lurking in her heart for a long time, and all kinds of suspicions and worries were churning in her uneasy mind.

Pei Rong sensed the worry and uneasiness in her heart, and hurriedly took a fox fur cloak and draped it on her shoulders, and whispered comfortingly: "Master, the past is gone, the past cannot be changed, and the present is the most important thing." ”

A word wakes up the dreamer. The Queen Mother's eyes froze, and she pulled back those long-remembered thoughts.

Yes, Qin Qing has already turned into a pile of white bones, even if the emperor was resentful that he didn't save Qin Qing, even if the emperor couldn't let go at that time, but the Si people have passed away, the past is gone, didn't the emperor finally live up to his expectations and ascend to this throne? Besides, for so many years, the emperor has enjoyed three thousand beauties, and he has never mentioned Qin Qing again, so he must have forgotten about this person for a long time, so why should he think of Qin Qing for the emperor's words......

Now the estrangement between herself and the emperor is all because of the Hua family, and only the Hua family is what she should think about at the moment.

The Queen Mother's thoughts turned a thousand times, and when she thought of the Hua family, she remembered that Emperor Dehui had repeatedly spoken to her in order to protect the Hua family today, and the Queen Mother suddenly felt a strong resentment in her heart, and this paranoid emotion made her soon fall into a state of obsession that could not be extricated.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows were instantly shrouded in a gloomy, and the cold light in her eyes was cold, as if she wanted to cut all the enemies under the eye knife, "The Hua family flattered and bewitched the lord, and bewitched the emperor several times to oppose the mourning family, and now they dare to hit the idea on Zhou'er, and the mourning family will never allow such petty people to bully the royal family and blind the saint!" ”

After that, she instructed Pei Rong in a deep voice: "Send someone to inform the Shangshu and the waiter of the Criminal Department in accordance with the will of the mourning family, and let them secretly investigate the abduction of Zhou'er. The mourning family wants to see how long the emperor can condone and protect the Hua family! ”

"The story in Nanling Palace has come to an end, and some royal secrets have gradually surfaced, I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.

(I'm busy with other things in the past two days, and I'll probably update this chapter in a few days.) The next chapter opens the main character screen. ）」
