After the Queen Mother inquired about the purpose of Zhao Lixiang's return this time, she began to secretly plan that what was placed in front of her was to save people, and saving people meant danger, but if she didn't save people, she would have to go against what she had promised Zhao Lixiang.

"Zhao Lixiang, your child is in the hands of King Qin, although I promised you to help you save your child, but Emperor Wu City is now heavily guarded, and it is really not easy to rescue your child, for the people of Zhao State, for the foundation laid down by the first king, I can't save people, so I can only betray you."

In her own bedroom, the Queen Mother muttered to herself.

In fact, in the heart of the Queen Mother, she was worried that Zhao Lixiang would kill Zhao Han.

After thinking about it, the Queen Mother finally found a way to do both.

"Zhao Lixiang, Zhao Lixiang, since you want to kill Zhao Han, Zhao Han is the prince, so I will let Zhao Han save your child, as for whether Zhao Han will save your child, it depends on your luck, after all, this is a grudge between you, then I can't blame me!" The Queen Mother said in a low voice.

After thinking about it, the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and decided to tell Zhao Han about this matter, so after she inquired about Zhao Han's location, she prepared to go to the Demon Dragon Shop, which was the first time that the Queen Mother walked out of the imperial city for so many years.

Seeing the Queen Mother, Zhao Han also realized that there was something important, otherwise the Queen Mother would be too old and would definitely not come out.

"Zhao Han! I looked for you to save people for you, and now Zhao Lixiang, that is, your sister, she is suspected by King Qin of being instructed by her to kill people, so now that King Qin has driven Zhao Lixiang out, you have to take more care of your sister in the future! The Queen Mother sat in the magic dragon shop, drinking tea, and said with a little feeling.

When Zhao Han heard the Queen Mother's words, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.

He asked eagerly, "Queen Mother, what you said is true?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Han, with a worried look on her face, and nodded: "It's true." The King of Qin has decided to eradicate the Zhao State and kill you to prevent future retaliation. Now that Zhao Lixiang has been kicked out of the palace, her situation is very dangerous, only you can save her. ”

Zhao Han sighed secretly in his heart, this news was like a bolt from the blue to him.

If his sister was really kicked out of the palace, she must be in a dangerous situation. He immediately said: "Queen Mother, don't worry, I will do my best to save my sister." ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "Very good, I believe you will be able to do it." Hurry up and get ready! After dark, I'll go with you to see if I can find Zhao Lixiang. ”

Zhao Han answered, then turned around and left the magic dragon shop.

His heart was full of worry and nervousness, his sister was kicked out of the palace, which meant that her life was in danger.

However, these were all deliberately shown by Zhao Han, when he told Li Wei that it was Zhao Lixiang who instructed him behind his back, it was purely false, but it actually played a role.

Now that Zhao Lixiang is no longer King Qin's favorite concubine, for Zhao Han, his heart is naturally very happy.

He wished that Zhao Lixiang would die early.

But he couldn't expose his hatred for Zhao Lixiang in front of the Queen Mother.

"Okay, we might as well act now, so that we can find my sister sooner." Zhao Han said.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly.

said: "Don't be in a hurry now, let's wait until dark to act, since you are so anxious, you can go to Cining Palace with me to do it, I have something to say to you." ”

At this time, there were many people in the Demon Dragon store, and there were some things that could not be told to Zhao Han in person, and moving to Cining Palace was the most suitable choice.

Zhao Han also saw the sound of the Queen Mother's words, bowed slightly to the Queen Mother, bowed, and said: "I am all at the mercy of the Queen Mother, and I am also idle today, and I can go to Cining Palace with the Queen Mother now." ”

At this time, the Queen Mother showed a faint smile.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then follow me to the car and go to Cining Palace together." ”

Zhao Han glanced at the Queen Mother, only to see that the Queen Mother was still smiling, it was obvious that the Queen Mother was very satisfied, and glanced outside at the carriage, the carriage was exclusive to the Queen Mother, and Zhao Han categorically would not ride with her.

So he refused: "Queen Mother, I have a Lu horse, I will ride to Cining Palace." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't care much, nodded, and got into the carriage alone.

Zhao Han led his Lu Ma and followed the carriage, unhurriedly towards Cining Palace.

This is not due to his pretentious posture and hypocrisy.

It was really this body that had not been seriously injured and had not healed, and he used the golden cicada to escape from the Qin State with difficulty, although he was treated, he was still a little weak.

Coupled with this wild run, it is already a bit difficult.

If you ride in the same carriage with the Queen Mother again, if the Queen Mother notices some clues, then your efforts will be wasted.

For this reason, he chose to follow on horseback.

Cining Palace arrived soon.

When Zhao Han dismounted, he deliberately glanced at the plaque of Cining Palace, and vaguely remembered that this Cining Palace was renovated by him in order to please the Queen Mother.

Calculating the time, it should have been many years, and he has also changed from an idle prince to a hostage of the Qin State, and now he is standing here again, and he has become a prince whose strength is okay today.

Time is also fate!

Zhao Han handed over the horse to the little yellow gate waiting at the gate of the palace, and followed the queen mother all the way inside, Cining Palace was as quiet and mysterious as ever.

The huge copper tripod incense burner wafted out of the burning fragrance, refreshing, long aftertaste, the air was filled with a sweet smell, the two rows of long palace maids respectfully bowed their heads on both sides, saw the queen mother come in, and saluted neatly: "The queen mother is blessed with gold." ”

The voice was neat and solemn, and Zhao Han was a little dazed when he heard it.

If he expected it to be true, there should be someone in this Cining Palace who should have Concubine Li, which means that this is Concubine Li's sphere of influence.

In this way, he and the Queen Mother came here today, which is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.

I'm afraid that if this Concubine Li knows, she will definitely be so angry that she will jump to her feet.

However, he believes that the Queen Mother must have a reason for doing this.

The Queen Mother was obviously accustomed to the service and greetings of these people, nodded with satisfaction, and said lightly while walking inside: "The mourning family called you here this time to let you see, the emperor and grandson of the mourning family, Zhao Han!" ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhao Han.

There is no joy or anger in his eyes.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Zhao Han has seen the true face of the Queen Mother.

I used to meet from afar among many noble girls, but I never got along with the Queen Mother alone in private, and this is the first time, and the Queen Mother can also be called a peerless style.

Although he is old, because of proper maintenance, he looks like he is only in his thirties, plus he has a noble status and extraordinary bearing, but he is also a first-class beauty embryo.

If it was placed 20 years ago, I am afraid that it would also be a delicate peony flower in the palace.

It's a pity that she is now a grandmother.

When he looked at the Queen Mother, he was also quietly looked at by the Queen Mother, if ordinary people saw the Queen Mother's eyes, they would definitely be frightened.

But who is Zhao Han?

Immersed in the troubled times for more than ten years, the human essence has been crawling.

If you can be scared by him in your eyes, then you look down on him too much, right? Because of this, when his gaze met the Queen Mother's gaze, the corners of his mouth had already hooked up a faint smile, and he bowed to the Queen Mother very politely and said, "I've seen the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Zhao Han deeply, then glanced at the people around her, and said: "You all go down, I haven't talked to Zhao Han for a long time, you all step back for me, and then close the door of Cining Palace, I will talk to my imperial grandson, if anyone dares to approach, I will be the first to kill her." ”

The Queen Mother's words made the people around her act immediately.

Zhao Han looked at the Queen Mother, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart, although the Queen Mother had always been fond of him, but the current atmosphere made him feel uneasy.

He looked at the people around him and exited Cining Palace one by one, and in the end, only he and the Queen Mother were left.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Han with a smile, her eyes made Zhao Han feel a little cold, and she said, "Queen Mother, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Zhao Han, you are a smart child, I have always liked you." But you're not doing your thing well. ”

Zhao Han's heart tightened, he didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, he wanted to ask clearly, but the Queen Mother didn't give him a chance to speak.

"I have been cultivating you all along," the Queen Mother continued, "but you did not disappoint me and did not take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Zhao Han became more and more confused, he didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant?

"You don't have to be afraid, Zhao Han," the Queen Mother said, "I know you've always wanted to be emperor, but you don't have to pay with your life for it, and now, you have a chance." ”

Zhao Han's heartbeat accelerated!

He didn't know what the Queen Mother meant by this.

"You only need to do one thing," said the Queen Mother, "come with me, and we will go together to welcome the new day." ”

Zhao Han looked at the Queen Mother, looking at the Queen Mother's eyes, he knew that he couldn't refuse her request.

"Okay, Queen Mother," Zhao Han said, "I'll come with you." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Han with a smile, she knew that her plan had succeeded, she took Zhao Han's hand, and the two walked to the depths of Cining Palace together, at this time, the Queen Mother said: "Do you want to get the position of prince?" There is a great opportunity in front of you now. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Han quickly knelt down, he thought that this was the Queen Mother deliberately testing him, in order not to expose his ambitions, so Zhao Han pretended to be afraid and said: "Queen Mother, I have never coveted the position of the prince, and I have never thought about the succession to the throne." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Han with a smile, her eyes revealing a little expectation and a little playfulness.

She took Zhao Han's hand and asked him to stand up, "Zhao Han, I know your ability and ambition. ”

The Queen Mother looked at him with a complicated look, "But now, what I am giving you is an opportunity that you may never have dreamed of." ”

An irrepressible excitement welled up in Zhao Han's heart, but he still tried to maintain his appearance calm, he followed the steps of the Queen Mother, trying to make himself look like he had no ambitious desires.

"The position of the prince represents the future of a dynasty." The Queen Mother said slowly, "This is an opportunity for you and me, and it is also a major turning point in your life. Are you ready to take advantage of this opportunity? ”

Zhao Han's heart was shocked!

This opportunity also comes with great risks, which could cause unnecessary trouble if his ambitions are exposed.

Therefore, he must be cautious and not let his desires affect the overall situation.

"Queen Mother, I thank you for your support and love, but I really haven't thought about succeeding to the throne." Zhao Han bowed deeply, "I'm just doing my best to serve the imperial court and work for the benefit of the people." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Han, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but at the same time, she also revealed some appreciation.

She stopped, glanced at Zhao Han deeply, and then turned around and continued to walk towards the depths of Cining Palace.

"I'm very satisfied with your answer." The Queen Mother said lightly, "But I also want you to know that this opportunity will still be reserved for you." As long as you have the ability and ambition, you can fight for it at any time. ”

Zhao Han bowed his head and was silent, but his heart was turbulent.

The most important thing now is to stay calm, keep doing your thing, and wait for the real opportunity to come.

This opportunity may or may not come, but no matter what, he will do his duty and be ready to accept the destiny of heaven at all times.

At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Your sister Zhao Lixiang is back now!" ”

I was stunned, and my heart was in turmoil.

Zhao Lixiang, this name, has been silent in Zhao for many years, but in his heart, he is all there.

"She is in the dungeon now, your sister has not come back for a long time, I will order you now as an elder to go to the dungeon to meet Zhao Lixiang." The Queen Mother said indifferently.

But Zhao Han still had an indifferent look.

"Since the Queen Mother, since you locked her up, but did not order her to be executed, there must be a reason for the Queen Mother, as for whether I want to see her, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate."
