Ye Ningxiang's eyes were determined, and she seemed to have made up her mind to bring Wei Xun back to Yingdu.

"I want to ask you to help me gain a foothold in the situation in the country, so that I can live in peace. ”

This kind of gloomy, even cold-blooded Ye Ningxiang, Wei Xun had never seen it, his eyes flashed with doubts, but his heart was uncontrollably colder and colder. The woman he was thinking about, Ye Ningxiang, who was kind-hearted and full of love in the past, suddenly turned into a cold-blooded and ruthless woman. Wei Xun sighed secretly in his heart, hoping that he was too careful.

"A few months ago, the emperor said that I had a serious illness, and in order not to affect the fetus in my womb, the imperial doctor gave me a medicine that is rare in the world, and the side effect of this medicine is to make me forget many things in the past. But I still remember a lot about my past with you. I remember that you were genuinely good to me, and you would not have watched me put me in danger. ”

Ye Ningxiang's eyes suddenly became very soft, although she didn't have the warmth she used to have, but it still made Wei Xunrushui's heart ripple. Even if she is pregnant with someone else's child, even if she forgets a lot of things and becomes different from before, she is still Ye Ningxiang, the woman he hides on the tip of her heart.

"Okay, I promise you to go back to Yingdu with you. ”

At this time, Wei Xun finally understood Xiao Qingyu's intention to come to find him. It turned out that Xiao Qingyu had long known that Ye Ningxiang was coming to him, and deliberately rushed to find him in front of Ye Ningxiang, just to explain those things to him, so that Ye Ningxiang could continue to lose his memory unharmed.

The civil and military forces of the entire Manchu Dynasty in the entire Rui Kingdom were already dissatisfied with Ye Ningxiang, the grassroots queen, and now it is naturally impossible to promote Wei Xun to a high-grade official position. Therefore, after thinking about it, Ye Ningxiang temporarily asked Xiao Qingyu for a guard with a sword in front of the emperor for Wei Xun to do.

Since he is here to help Ye Ningxiang, he Wei Xun has never cared about the size of the official rank, the only thing that makes him feel awkward is that the person he has to wait for day and night is not Ye Ningxiang but Xiao Qingyu.

Seeing Wei Xun, who regarded himself as a rival in love, helplessly guarding his side, Xiao Qingyu's heart was very happy, and when facing Wei Xun, there was always a bad smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Wei Xun's teeth itch. But for the sake of Ye Ningxiang, no matter how angry he is, he Wei Xun can endure it.

Time flies quickly, and Ye Ningxiang has been living as a queen for nearly four months. During this period of time, she was so low-key that she could almost make people forget the existence of a Queen Ye in the palace. She was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Wei Xun, whom she relied on, to find an opportunity to stand at the center of the power struggle without any complaints.

During this time, the only thing that bothered her was her sister Ye Ninglu. I don't know what means her sister used, she actually caught the line of the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to approve her to take care of Ye Ningxiang's daily life in person.

This Ye Ningxiang's half-sister has never really cared about Ye Ningxiang, and now she takes care of her day and night, mostly thinking about how to take care of her child is true.

finally suffered this belly until July and August, Ye Ningxiang gradually relieved, the child has grown to such a big month, I am afraid that it is even more difficult to harm again, almost impossible.

However, the matter of protecting the child has just been secured, and Ye Ningxiang ushered in another very important event, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

Five days later, it was the biggest ceremony in the past 100 years, which was to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country, and also to celebrate the annexation of the country and the reunification of the north and the south.

For such an important celebration, she Ye Ningxiang, as the queen, plays a pivotal role. So she must not make any mistakes.

Empress Feng, who was originally going to follow Ye Ningxiang to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, had been sick because she had contracted the wind and cold half a month ago, and was not suitable to participate in this Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, so the burden of showing the spirit of the mother and the world was all pressed on Ye Ningxiang's body.

Ye Ningxiang didn't feel any nervousness, but Wei Xun was very nervous, and specially asked Xiao Qingyu to be in charge of the construction of the sacrificial rooftop, for fear that something would go wrong when sacrificing to the sky.

"Princess Qingluan Wan'an. ”

As the eunuch's respectful greetings fell, Princess Qingluan, who had not entered the palace for a long time, slowly came to the altar of the sacrifice.

"This place is magnificent, who is in charge?"

Seeing that this empty venue had been decorated in just a few days, Princess Qingluan smiled with satisfaction.

"Back to the princess, the minister is in charge. ”

After saying this, Wei Xun's half-arched body gradually straightened, and his lowered head gradually raised, facing Princess Qingluan's eyes.

The beautiful man, who seemed to have walked out of a scroll, stood in front of Princess Qingluan's eyes, making her heart, which had not been turbulent for a long time, tremble fiercely.

"What's your name?"

"Xiaguan Wei asked. ”

"Wei Xun, your name has been written down in this palace. ”

"Princess, are you going to send that man to the princess's mansion tonight?"

The maid who followed behind Xiao Qingluan seemed to know Xiao Qingluan's style very well, and asked directly.

"No, it's a pity that such a good man was reluctantly taken to my house like this. I'm going to make him my man willingly. ”

After speaking, Xiao Qingluan's eyes were sharp, revealing an inevitable smile.

On the day of the ceremony, as soon as the sky was light, Wei Xun ran directly into the Changle Palace where Ye Ningxiang lived like the wind.

"Condensation...... Queen Mother, everything is well prepared on the altar, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Being able to tell her that everything was okay before Ye Ningxiang set off and reassure her, Wei Xun felt very satisfied and happy.

Feng Jingzhi sat in a dark corner in the Prime Minister's Mansion, drinking tea unhurriedly, and when the teacup fell, he showed a meaningful smile.

"Yi'er, can the matter of sacrificing to the sky be guaranteed to be foolproof?"

"Father, the matter of sacrificing to the heavens has been arranged, and the son promises to let Ye Ningxiang come and go. ”

"Hahaha, okay, so good, except for Ye Ningxiang, my daughter can be regarded as the real queen. ”

In the past few days, I only knew that Wei Xun was the person in charge of arranging the sacrificial rooftop, but Ye Ningxiang never expected that this sacrificial rooftop would be arranged so well by Wei Xun, as if it made people in the heavenly palace, and there was a fairy aura surrounding everyone.

Xiao Qingyu took Ye Ningxiang's hand very gently, and walked slowly towards the altar with a smile on his face.

"Ning Xiang, I am very happy to be able to hold hands with you to witness the 100th anniversary of the founding of my Darui. ”

Xiao Qingyu's smile was from the heart, with joy that could not be hidden, but Ye Ningxiang's smile in response was fake, without the slightest emotion.

The love pill was fed by him Xiao Qingyu personally, even if Ye Ningxiang is ruthless and unrighteous now, he has absolutely no right to regret it, his beloved woman is held in the palm of his hand at this moment, which is enough.

"The Celestial Ritual Begins!"

The eunuch in charge of the ceremony shouted at the top of his voice.

Xiao Qingyu and Ye Ningxiang first bowed down to heaven and earth under the watchful eye of everyone, and then bowed down to their elder Empress Dowager. After a series of kneeling ceremonies, Xiao Qingyu and Ye Ningxiang respectively offered incense on the altar, Xiao Qingyu prayed to heaven for the peace of the country and the people every year, and Ye Ningxiang prayed for Emperor Darui to have many sons and a peaceful harem.

As long as the incense is successfully inserted into the incense burner, there will be no more factors that will put Ye Ningxiang in danger in today's ceremony. So Ye Ningxiang cautiously knelt down, kowtowed to the tablets of the former emperor of Rui Guo placed in front of the incense burner, and then, picked up the heavy long incense, and walked towards the incense burner very cautiously.

I saw that the incense had just been inserted into the incense burner, and the originally magnificent altar was suddenly burned.

The first to burn was the incense burner in front of Ye Ningxiang, and the sudden flame surged upward, and soon ignited the spiritual seat of the deceased emperor of the Narui Kingdom placed in front of the incense burner.

Then, under the influence of the wind, a few sparks flew to the banner standing around the altar, and the flag that originally showed the momentum of the Great Rui Kingdom also burned in an instant, and soon it was only burned into a wooden pole.

"Someone, escort, escort!"

"Come on, Queen Ye has angered the ancestors of Ruiguo, take down Queen Ye quickly!"

After a few shouts in succession, Ye Ningxiang had been firmly controlled by several guards with outstanding martial arts, and could no longer move a single bit.

"Your Majesty, the sudden fire on the altar has nothing to do with incense. ”

Ye Ningxiang's expression was serious, her eyes were firm, and there was not a trace of panic on her face.

"Your Majesty, it is the minister who is responsible for all matters related to the Tiantai, and now the incident on the Tiantai is all the dereliction of duty of the minister, and it has nothing to do with the queen's mother, and the minister is willing to bear all the responsibility. ”

In this short moment, this thing that could almost control their life and death happened, Wei Xun was extremely shocked, and his mind kept recalling the originally properly arranged altar of sacrifice. What went wrong?

Since taking over this task, Wei Xun has not left the altar day and night, and there will be no chance for anyone with bad intentions to do it. Just as he was thinking about it, Wei Xun suddenly remembered a person, Princess Qingluan.

Only once, when Princess Qingluan inspected the altar of the festival, she spoke to him with great appreciation. If someone wants to do something on the altar, it can only be that time.

Wei Xun was both angry and remorseful, and his eyes were so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Xiao Qingyu. He knew that Xiao Qingyu gave him this task to complete because he was afraid that someone would take this opportunity to murder Ye Ningxiang, but now he perfectly let Ye Ningxiang fall into the trap that the enemy had laid a long time ago.

"What are you doing here, are you trying to kill my queen?"

Xiao Qingyu's voice was low, revealing an unprecedented anger and gloom, which made the hairs of the guards around Ye Ningxiang stand on end.

Prime Minister Feng Jingzhi, who was standing aside, suddenly knelt on the ground, and there were tears on his wrinkled face.

"Your Majesty, Empress Ye is angry with the ancestors of Rui Kingdom, she is an ominous person, and keeping Queen Ye is disrespectful to the ancestors, and it is to abandon the country of Rui and ignore it! ”

Then, a group of ministers knelt down behind Feng Jingzhi, and these ministers knelt on the ground and repeated the second half of Feng Jingzhi's words in unison, but there was a kind of meaning that Ye Ningxiang's sin was not cured, and he swore not to give up.

"Your Majesty, what are you hesitating about, do you want to go against the will of heaven?"

The Empress Dowager already hated a low-born person like Ye Ningxiang very much, but now that she found an opportunity to put Ye Ningxiang and die, she would definitely not let it go.

"Imperial grandmother, I, Da Rui, have always ruled the world with benevolence, and now Ning Xiang is pregnant with my child, even if she angers her ancestors, she really shouldn't be punished at this time. ”

Xiao Qingyu's momentum of speaking was obviously much weaker, but there was a bit of a sense of submission to his grandmother.

A woman who angers her ancestors and ancestors, what awaits her can only be death, and as for dying late and early, the ending cannot escape a single word of death.

The Empress Dowager thought that if she insisted on Xiao Qingyu's intentions, she really killed Ye Ningxiang, who was about to give birth, and she was afraid that it would leave a bad impression of cruelty and tyranny on the people. At this moment of the recent annexation of Liguo and Tortoise's whiskers, this act of shaking the rule is really not worth doing.

"Then take Queen Ye into Qingling Garden, and dispose of it after giving birth. ”
