I can't bear it.

It's just three words, but the queen understands. In addition to "unbearable", what can explain the reason why they risked the crime of bullying the monarch to conceal Renzong's illness and replace the prescription?

The queen slowly raised her hand to cover her face, and her voice was inaudible: "Is this really the right thing to do?"

Zhao Qingyan spit out a few words very firmly: "I don't regret it." ”

"Don't regret it?" the queen looked at the young man with a determined expression across her fingers vaguely, her lips squirmed, but she couldn't say anything.

What could she say? Apologize, or thank you?

Speechless.

". Hearing this, the queen looked at Zhao Qingyan, who was kneeling again, and heard him say: "My nephew has a reluctant request, and I hope that my mother can agree." ”

The queen took a deep breath, barely suppressed the messiness in her heart, and bowed her head slightly: "Speak." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "The nephew hopes that the mother can let Song Heran live." ”

"Song Heran?" the queen was completely sobered up by his sudden request, "This is your request?"

Zhao Qingyan nodded and responded, "Yes." ”

The queen suddenly felt a little ridiculous: "Now in this situation, you told me that you want to protect a imperial doctor?"

Zhao Qingyan bowed down: "Please give me permission." ”

The queen smiled: "What if I don't allow it?"

"I won't let my mother do it. Zhao Qingyan straightened up, with a hint of a smile in his inky eyes, "Because you don't allow it, I will also protect him." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who gave you the confidence to think that this palace would risk one more person to know the truth and spare his life?"

Zhao Qing said: "That lady will not try to kill him at the risk of me taking action to protect him and arouse the suspicion of the imperial uncle." If the nephew is alive, there should be no difference between one person living and two people living, right?"

The queen smiled: "Zhao Qingyan, Zhao Qingyan, this palace is really strange, what are you thinking? You dare to threaten this palace because of a little imperial doctor?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "The nephew doesn't dare, the nephew is stating a fact." ”

The queen got up, slowly paced in front of him, and asked, "'Song Heran is the king's imperial physician, not a victim of your open and secret conspiracies. Whoever your master is, do not think of evil to the king's people. 'That's what you said, right?

Zhao Qingyan looked up at her eyes, and nodded naturally: "Niangniang's memory is really good." ”

The queen was laughed at by him: "You kneel here and show friendship to me, and then ask me so justifiably not to touch your people?"

Zhao Qingyan explained slowly: "I am a junior, your elder. I am the prince, and you are the queen. I knelt down to you as I should, and I didn't mean to show favor. The word 'demand' is even more impossible. Even if I lend me a few guts, I don't dare to ask you. Nephew means...... Song Heran is my person, the one who knows the problem of prescriptions, only Song Heran is alive alone. Niangniang didn't know about this whole thing, so why did she have to kill him?"

"You ......" The queen vaguely understood what he meant, and a chill suddenly appeared in her heart, and her eyes flashed.

Zhao Qingyan continued to say his words slowly: "Since Niangniang is so troubled by the prescription, Qingyan is willing to share her worries for Niangniang. Corresponding ...... Can you prove that this matter is just my idea and has nothing to do with the Qi Palace?"

The queen's throat was a little dry, and her voice was a little trembling: "You're crazy!"

Zhao Qingyan kowtowed uprightly, then stood up by himself, bowed his head and said, "If Niangniang has nothing else to do, the nephew will retire." ”

"Wait!" the queen looked at him with a complicated and somewhat surprised gaze.

Zhao Qingyan is very intelligent, but those who know him know it. Zhao Qingyan's temperament is weak, and he retreats in every possible way, and only when there is nowhere to avoid it, will he resist. As the only child of Princess Qi of King Qi, King Qi's love and attention to him are naturally self-evident. I still didn't dare to suppress Zhao Qingyan too obviously, also because I took into account his high-ranking father, not because I was afraid that Zhao Qingyan would be a little prince who had just won the crown.

However, the meaning of Zhao Qingyan's performance is very clear. "I" came to be the one who deceived the king, and "I" showed weakness to the East Palace in exchange for the peace of the "Qi Palace".

Even if the queen didn't want to believe it, Zhao Qingyan didn't tell King Qi about it, but she had to believe it.

With the temperament of King Qi and Princess Qi, even if they don't want anything, it is impossible to not want their son's life. It is absolutely impossible for them to exchange their sons for their glory and peace no matter what.

Zhao Qingyan kept Song Heran to protect Song Heran, although he gave himself all the charges of "bullying the king", but at the same time, it was also equivalent to holding the only person who knew the truth.

If this matter is discovered by Renzong, then Zhao Qingyan, who is trying to protect Song Heran, will lose Renzong's trust. It was only he who lost his trust, and he had nothing to do with the Qi Palace. And to keep the Qi Wangfu out of the way, it was what the queen had to do. Because, Song Heran is in the hands of Zhao Qingyan.

As long as Zhao Qingyan is not discovered, then Song Heran is a chess piece to contain the queen. Zhao Qingyan was discovered, and the queen also had to be wary of whether he would die and break the net. In this way, the queen is passive, but she is still tempted by the method proposed by Zhao Qingyan.

What is the reason? The harem is in politics, and she is the master of the harem. Once it is discovered by Renzong, the queen is finished, and her maiden family, hundreds of people up and down the general's mansion will also be implicated. But the method proposed by Zhao Qingyan failed to be completely different.

The prince of Qi and the queen conspired to deceive the king, representing the interference of the two major forces of the Qi Wangfu and the General's Mansion in the political situation, which was a matter for the imperial court.

And Zhao Qingyan deceived the king alone, and the queen wanted to put him to death, which was a matter for the harem royal.

When it comes to the royal face, the latter can be ended with the death of two people, and the former is bound to affect the entire court.

Zhao Qingyan and the queen have three points that coincide: caring for Renzong, protecting relatives, and stabilizing the government.

Therefore, Zhao Qingyan transferred the charge of "bullying the king" on the queen to himself. And the queen came to ensure that the Qi Palace's mansion would not be implicated. In this way, the two of them are separated from the forces behind them. At the end of the day, it's that simple as that.

Zhao Qingyan and the queen seemed to have a chessboard in front of them, and among the countless chess pieces, there were chess pieces that wanted to bet on everything to protect, chess pieces that the other party coveted or feared, and inconsequential discards.

The favor of the prince, the trust of Renzong, the relatives at home, and the power in the hands of the other party...... This is the top priority of their game. There are what they need together, and there are things they fear of each other, so now they can reach a complete stalemate confrontation. Rather than such a senseless confrontation, it is better to release the suspicions.

As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie.

Zhao Qingyan bowed his head to show concessions and put forward suggestions that would be beneficial to both sides. Take the initiative to hand over your own handle to the other party, and at the same time clearly show that you also have the weakness of the other party. To retreat as advance, to eliminate their own threat with a humble and surrendering attitude, and then to fight the other party's arrogance with a look of victory, and finally put forward absolutely favorable cooperation conditions to impress the queen.

Zhao Ying was reluctant to let go of Zhao Qingyan, and Zhao Xuan did not hesitate to turn his face with his father because of Zhao Qingyan, and now Zhao Shu has completely expressed his close attitude to Zhao Qingyan.

In this case, what reason does the queen have to refuse Zhao Qingyan's overtures?

There is no reason.

Now Zhao Qingyan no longer hides his edge, and shows all the brilliance and grandeur. He made it clear that if I didn't force each other, I would still be the little prince who had no quarrel with the world and played the piano and flute. If he continues to press, he has enough ability to die with his opponent.

"Mo'er?" After sorting out her thoughts, the queen slowly spoke and called him.

Zhao Qingyan turned around and arched his hand: "The nephew is here." ”

The queen pursed her lips and said slowly: "The fourth brother has always taken care of the palace, but the palace is ungrateful. ”

Zhao Qingyan seemed to smile, lowered his eyes and said: "Niangniang's words are serious, and it is also the nephew's words and deeds that make Niangniang dislike." My nephew and father are in the same mind, and they only want to protect my Zhao family, share the worries of the king, and do the affairs of the ministers, and never have the heart of trespassing. Dan heart and blood, please also ask the mother to know. ”

The queen sighed softly, and her voice was no longer as aggressive as before: "Your Majesty has no children, and among the brothers and heirs, you and Bai Yi are the only ones who have become talents." Bengong was anxious for a while, but he did something wrong, and he ruined the blessings of his juniors. Mo'er, this palace knows that you have hatred in your heart, and I don't ask you to forgive me. However, there are only three of you brothers behind Your Majesty, and this palace hopes to ......"

". Before she finished speaking, Zhao Qingyan knelt down again and fell to the ground, "Qingyan is weak and blessed, and he doesn't have a long life." Qingyan owes his father and mother too much, and only wants to repay a small amount of kindness. Uncle Meng is pitied, and I am a prince. But Qing Yan couldn't repay it, he could only say guilt. Please also have mercy on my mother, let me be the king of this life. ”

The queen was stunned: "You ......"

Zhao Qingyan said: "But Qingyan will never forget his surname, nor will he eat Junlu empty." The emperor's uncle and mother are like fathers and mothers to Qingyan, and they dare not forget this kindness. But if Qingyan is within his ability, he will never push back, but please don't trust her anymore, Qingyan can't afford it. ”

The queen looked at this overly smart nephew, and the indescribable tiredness welled up in her heart, and she just waved her hand: "You go, the palace is a little tired, and I want to rest." ”

Zhao Qingyan kowtowed: "My nephew retires." He got up and stepped back.

Nephews, nephews, and ministers......

The queen looked at his departing figure and was speechless for a long time. Three titles, three kinds of intimacy. What does he really look like in his heart?

......

"It's over, it's finally over. ”

Zhao Qingyan slowly walked to the rockery and leaned on the cold stone, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. How calm he had just been, how panicked he was now.

Fortunately...... This time, the bet won.

Zhao Qingyan's face was pale, but a smile rose at the corner of his lips. It's finally over, it's all over.
