Yulan began to feel faintly afraid, she never thought that she would cause trouble to her family. She didn't dare to imagine why the Queen Mother suddenly said such a thing, and then her heart began to panic.

Her eyes were gloomy, and she didn't dare to look directly at the hot eyes of the Queen Mother, so she had to hang her head and say: "The Queen Mother, the slave maid, but the slave maid has an old mother and a pair of younger siblings in the slave family. ”

The Queen Mother didn't look at her, but just put the rosary in her hand on the sandalwood pattern table, and used her slender fingers to tap on the table without rhythm, every time she knocked, Yulan was terrified in her heart, the cold sweat was completely uncontrollable, and her back was already wet.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, she hurriedly rolled down from the step, knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed. When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she didn't say much.

This made Yulan panic even more, and hurriedly kowtowed while begging for mercy: "The Queen Mother is gracious, the Queen Mother is gracious, the slave and maid beg the Queen Mother to forgive the slave and maid family, and the slave and maid are willing to ask for the safety of their family with their lives and the Queen Mother to be fulfilled." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was a little satisfied, and she got up and said, "The old man knows that you are the master, and he speaks up." But in this deep palace, you don't know what to say and what can't be said. How can the old body spare you from dying, if you don't die, how can you be the wind of the harem. ”

Yulan kowtowed again and again, trembling and said: "The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should not be blind to the queen mother, speak sharply, it is not a pity for the slave and maid to die, I only ask the queen mother to forgive the slave and the maid's family." ”

The Queen Mother still looked calm, seeing that Yulan was so knowledgeable, she didn't say anything more, and smiled: "Since this is the case, the old body died of you, you should have no complaints?"

How dare Yulan have any complaints, think about her mother, her younger siblings in the family, she doesn't dare to say anything, besides, she has already become a cripple, and she can no longer serve the queen, even if she is alive, it will be worse than death.

The candle flame in Jianing Palace burned a dark red light, enveloping the entire hall in an atmosphere of fear, making people feel a little about to suffocate, except for the dull sound of Yulan's desperate kowtow, the death-like silence in the entire hall was particularly terrifying.

Yulan kowtowed and said: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid only ask the queen mother to be kind and forgive the slave and maid family for peace, and the slave and maid are willing to be disposed of by the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, waved her cuffs, got up from the side of a few cases, and looked at the trembling Yulan, Yulan's body suddenly trembled, her head knocked louder and louder, and her forehead was full of blood, allowing it to flow unscrupulously, in addition, Yulan really didn't know what to do, so she could only ask the Queen Mother for mercy in this way, so as not to harm her family.

The Queen Mother stood on top of the main hall, waved her hand and said: "Okay, the old body promised you to forgive your family, but you must promise the old body one thing, otherwise the old body will not be able to ensure that your family is fine." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Magnolia was like an amnesty. Kowtowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your grace, don't say one thing, how many slaves and maids also obey the will of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the Xi Neiguan who was serving beside her and said, "Help her up." ”

Xi Neiguan understood, put away the dust, hurriedly walked down the hall, helped Yulan up and said, "Get up!"

Yulan, with the support of the official Xi, sat back on the step. tried to calm down his mood, didn't dare to say more, and quietly waited for the Queen Mother to continue.

The Queen Mother sat down again and said lightly: "The queen has been with you for several years, and her heart is tied to you, and the old body is afraid that she will know that you have been executed by the old body Ling Chi, and her heart is sad and hurts the phoenix body, so the old body will send you to the Temple of All Nations for treatment." ”

"The old body has thought about it for a long time, which can make the queen recuperate with peace of mind, and without losing the majesty of the old body, to correct the harem. Please also ask Yulan to meet the queen, you just need to do what the old man wants. ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother waved her hand to signal the Xi Neiguan to retreat, and the Xi Neiguan understood, and closed the palace door after retreating. At this moment, only Yulan and the Queen Mother were left, and after the Queen Mother finished explaining, Yulan was sent back to Qingning Palace.

The next day, the Queen Mother was served by Jin Feng to make up, the Queen Mother in the bronze mirror was still kind and kind, and there was not much change from the past, but there was more silver hair, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, the Queen Mother asked unconsciously: "Jin Feng, is the old body old?"

While grooming the Queen Mother, Jin Feng comforted: "The Queen Mother has a phoenix body for thousands of years, how can she be old." The slave maid thinks that the queen mother is the same as before, and she is in her prime!"

The Queen Mother just smiled faintly, and she was not happy about what Jin Feng said, her face was calm, just like her life, she was as calm as in her life, since marrying the first emperor, this harem has never been peaceful, concubines compete for favor, do everything, all kinds of cruel means but no blood.

Over the years, she has gone from the queen to the current queen mother, she can't see through anything, she doesn't know anything, but along the way, she is even more determined. I have seen my life even more thoroughly.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, still so calmly smiled, it seemed that nothing would be uneventful for her. It's all so indifferent.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was still in a good mood, Jin Feng couldn't help but be bold and said again: "The slave maid hasn't seen the Queen Mother smile like this for a long time, and the slave maid is really happy for the Queen Mother." ”

When the queen mother heard this, she said indifferently: "The old body doesn't know what laughter is, the old body has lived in this deep palace for a lifetime, and has watched the bloody wind and rain in the harem all his life. ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother sighed unconsciously, and continued: "But the old body didn't expect that there would be a concubine named Guo Qiuyue in this palace. ”

"If the old body didn't want to stop it before, but now that the enemy is now, the queen is seriously ill and bedridden, and the emperor doesn't miss the love of husband and wife, but the safety of this Dongsheng country has to be taken care of, right? ”

"It's really chilling the heart of the old body! The queen is so overwhelmed with heavy responsibilities, and the old body is getting old, how can this Dongsheng country be good in the future. Fortunately, General Han Zhenbei, the father of the queen, guarded the southern frontier to ensure that the eastern kingdom was temporarily worry-free. ”

"Now that the Northwest Frontier is in chaos, I have to send He Bin to lead an army of 200,000 to suppress it, and what the old man has done is really a last resort. Jin Feng, isn't the old body very vicious, no different from a poisonous woman?"

When Jin Feng heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother thinks about the foundation of Dongsheng Kingdom, why do you say this." The slave knows that Yulan is not at fault, and blames the death of the dragon in the queen's womb to the envoys of the Turkish country, and there is no other way to kill the envoys of the Turkish country, the queen mother, if you don't do this, how to wake up Your Majesty, personal life is a small matter, and the country is a big thing. ”

The Queen Mother listened to Jin Feng's persuasion, and her heart was a little more at ease, she had been in this deep palace for decades, and she couldn't see through anything. How could she not know what Guo Qiuyue did, but she knew Emperor Wu Wei's temperament more well, if she got rid of her and provoked his anger, the queen would naturally cause trouble, but the world was really going to be chaotic at that time.

So the queen can't be fine, and Guo Qiuyue can't be okay either. It can only be the envoy of the Hichikata country that has something to do, and he is dead. can eliminate the hatred in the queen's heart, and can only let him be a substitute for the dead. It can also let the Turkish country rebel, and let Xiangguo's student He Bin regain military power under the pretext.

Only in this way can we ensure that Dongshengguo is worry-free, just a Guo Qiuyue, the Queen Mother didn't take her seriously, she just invited favor in front of the emperor, and now because of the dragon, it is much quieter. So the Queen Mother was also a lot more relieved.

After listening to Jin Feng's words, the Queen Mother said thoughtfully: "I hope that the old body, this move is not wrong." It's a pity that Yulan, she is not wrong, the fault is that she is too smart, and there are some things and things that should not be said and cannot be said. ”

The queen has been recuperating in Jianing Palace for a few days, and her health has gradually improved, and she has been personally taken care of by the Queen Mother, although she lost her young son and unfortunately fell outside Jianing Palace, it is not a big problem, but she has not seen any trace of Magnolia in the past few days, and she can't help but miss it a little in her heart.

After the queen mother finished dressing up, she came to the side hall where the queen temporarily lived to visit her condition, and when she saw the queen mother coming, the queen hurriedly prepared to get up and salute, but let the queen mother wave her hand and stop her.

Seeing that the queen's condition had improved, her face was also a little ruddy, and she was also very happy, the queen sat on the bed with a smile, took the queen's hand, and said with concern: "Ruo'er, don't be polite." Do you feel better?"

The queen was also very moved when she saw that the queen mother was so concerned, and said with a happy smile on her face: "Queen Xie is concerned, and her sons are much better." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Ruo'er, the queen mother is also happy when she sees that you are fine, but she is worried about the death of the queen mother these days." Today, the Queen Mother has another thing that makes you happy, and I want to tell you. ”

Since the queen had a miscarriage and lost her dragon son, she has never been happy, and has been immersed in the pain of losing her loneliness, and she is depressed. Suddenly heard that the Queen Mother had something happy to tell her, and she couldn't help but be happy.

just said lightly: "What's the matter, let the queen mother come over in person and inform her son." Erchen lost his dragon son, and he didn't know what could make Erchen happy. ”

When the queen mother heard the queen talk about the dragon, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, this matter really hit the queen very hard, she worked hard to conceive for several months, and in the end she didn't even look at herself, she was stillborn, how could she not be sad.

For a while, the Queen Mother didn't know how to answer, but Jin Feng's eyes were quick, and when she saw the Queen Mother's momentary embarrassment, she hurriedly said: "The Queen doesn't know, Yulan has returned to the palace from her hometown in the countryside, and she is waiting outside the palace at the moment!"

There has been no trace of Yulan in the past few days, the queen is always worried in her heart, since Yulan left, there is no one to talk to, although Jin Feng often comforts her, but it is not as appropriate as Yulan, and some words can not be said directly.

Yulan was naturally overjoyed when she returned, so she seemed a little excited and said, "Yulan, queen mother, is Yulan really back?"

The Queen Mother gently patted the back of the queen's hand, and said with a concerned smile: "Really, she is outside the palace at this moment." ”

The queen was a little puzzled, since she was already outside the palace, why didn't she come, but had to wait outside the palace, so she asked puzzledly: "Queen Mother, since Yulan has returned to the palace, why don't you come to see her sons." but outside the temple. ”

The Queen Mother didn't know how to answer for a while, her face was embarrassed, as if she had something unspeakable, and was silent for a moment. It was Jin Feng who replied first: "Queen Mother, although Yulan has returned to the palace, she can't see you, she can only wait outside the palace, she has something to say to the Queen Mother." ”

After hearing this, the queen was even more puzzled, staring straight at the queen mother, hoping to get some information from her mouth, the queen mother only sighed a little regretfully, and then was a little embarrassed: "There are some things, let Yulan tell you! The queen mother will go back first." After a while, the queen mother instructed the imperial dining room to make some nourishing soup for Ruo'er, and the queen mother came to see you. ”

Then the Queen Mother looked at Jin Feng who was standing on the side and said, "Jin Feng, you can also go back with the old man!" ”

Jin Feng understood, hurriedly picked up the Queen Mother, and left the side hall of Jianing Palace. Leaving the queen lying on the bed with a puzzled face, her heart was even more worried.

The Queen Mother walked out of the hall with the support of Jin Feng and looked at the magnolia sitting on the step. glanced at her and said coldly: "Remember, whether your family can survive depends on your performance today." ”

When the Queen Mother's sharp eyes like poisonous snakes skimmed at Yulan, Yulan couldn't help but feel excited. Before Yulan could speak, Jin Feng had already helped the Queen Mother and walked away. Yulan settled down, and then said with a dead heart: "I'm tired of a few fathers-in-law carrying me in." ”
