After saying that, he also turned sideways, raised his hands and saluted the queen, who had her back turned stiffly towards him, "That's all my son has to say. If my words have offended me, please forgive me, mother." He immediately stood up and faced him.

He glanced at the hourglass on the table beside him and added, "My son still has something to do, so I won't bother you anymore and I'll leave first."

Without letting the queen speak, Xuanyuan Yan strode away quickly.

And his behavior today made the queen very angry.

When Xuanyuan Yan walked out of the room, the queen picked up the teacup on the table where he was sitting and threw it out violently. She shouted, "You are a traitor, you are a traitor", and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

On the side, Fangmian, under the signal of Guihe, who quickly ran forward, helped the queen back to the beauty's bed, and then came down to clean up the broken pieces of magnets flying on the floor. Guihe leaned next to the queen, whispering comfort, "The queen, my dear."

Don't be angry, Prince

I have always been filial, but I think this time I lost my temper because I had a disagreement with the empress. Just try your best and don't argue with the prince. After some time, the prince figured it out, and naturally he understands, the empress.

It’s a lot of hard work.”

"There is no disagreement, he is trying to push me to a dead end!" At the moment, the emperor does not favor her, the sixth palace disrespects her, and even her son speaks harsh words to her, can she not be annoyed?

"Your Majesty, you are too worried. I think the prince understands your Majesty, that's why he said these words. The Prince is not trying to draw a clear line with your Majesty, but is using your Majesty's words to teach the slaves a lesson."

People are not doing things well. The implication is that I feel sorry for the empress, and ask the empress not to worry and concentrate on fulfilling her position as queen."

He emphasized the last sentence heavily, which contained profound meaning.

When the queen thought about it, her eyes darkened slightly, and she seemed to understand.

He nodded and was about to speak when he saw Guihe's eyes falling on Fang Mian. He waved his hand and said, "Fang Mian, pack up and go down to make another pot of good tea for me."

Fang Mian knew that the queen wanted to avoid talking to Gui and her father-in-law, so she followed the rules and retreated calmly.

But just as she walked out of the door, she suddenly saw a magnificent red shadow flashing past her eyes.

There are not many women in the harem who can wear this kind of red, and at the moment, the only one who comes to the Queen's Palace wearing this kind of red is probably the crown prince.

But why is the Crown Princess dodging? Could it be that she heard what she just said?

Looking again in the direction where the figure disappeared, Fangmian hesitated for a moment, looked back at the majestic hall, put down the tray, closed the door, turned around and walked to the side room. As he walked, he murmured in self-hypnosis, probably

She was too nervous, so she probably saw it wrong.

*

In the side hall of the East Palace.

Ling Xiu was recovering from her injuries and lying weakly on the bed. Sitting next to her was Du Mengxian, who had heard that Ling Xiu had miscarried.

She is now the mistress of the Ling family. Although she is only an equal wife, she also has a fourth-grade title and can walk in the harem. Therefore, as soon as she heard that something happened to her daughter, she came here in fear.

But what she was afraid of was not Ling Xiu's miscarriage, but the real reason for Ling Xiu's miscarriage.

After some greetings, Du Mengxian got down to business.

Ling Xiu listened with a sneer in her heart, and withdrew her hand that was held by Du Mengxian, and said coldly: "Don't worry, mother, the prince has not pursued her." It means that he is not pursuing her, but he has used a more cruel way to punish her.

, it will be even more terrifying if she must be investigated. If she had a choice, she would rather die than suffer such humiliation.

"That's good, you, take good care of yourself. You are still young. You won't have to worry about having children of your own in the future."

Du Mengxian breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly.

Ling Xiu was already tired of hearing such words, so she only raised the corners of her lips encouragingly to show that she understood and thanked her for her comfort.

After talking about the "heavy" topic, the mother and daughter talked for a while. Du Mengxian gave her a lot of things to show his care for her. Until her maid came and asked her to drink medicine and rest, Du Mengxian

Mengxian just left.

"My dear, why didn't you tell your mother that Miss Ling San entered the alliance alone and was imprisoned? I believe your mother would be very happy, even more happy than you being able to give birth to an evil son." The maid asked.

The woman pretending to be a woman used almost violent means to open Ling Xiu's teeth, and poured the medicine in the bowl into her mouth to drink. However, she spoke harsh words and laughed at Ling Xiu.

But at this moment, this is what Ling Xiu doesn't want to hear the most.

She originally thought that when she woke up from this dream, she would be able to escape the things that made her crazy. But after she woke up and heard the news that Ling Zihan was trapped in the alliance, she suddenly wanted to laugh and wanted to laugh wildly.

Her smile was not because of what happened to Ling Zihan, but because she felt pity for herself.

She understood that the reason why she had to tell her the news was because—the prince was about to succeed.

And that devil wanted her to accompany him and share the "joy".

Once upon a time, she had also imagined that if she knew something that other concubines didn't know, she could occupy the prince's heart and enjoy the secrets they shared with him. But now, she finally realized this wish, but she paid more.

The price is terrible and painful. And this wish has also changed its taste. There is no love, no hate, only pain, heart-breaking pain.

The maid fed him spoonful after spoonful, and then said something about Xuanyuan Yan's instructions. Ling Xiu didn't struggle at all, and she was so good that she drank the whole medicine, along with those harsh words.

After finishing the drink, the maid cleaned up the bowl and spoon, took a soft wet silk handkerchief, and wiped her mouth. But she seemed to look at the pale face carefully, and for a long time she pursed her lips naughtily and winked.

He opened his eyes and said with a bright smile: "Oh, I almost forgot, the prince also told me something

Now, I would like to congratulate you, the concubine. The crown prince has asked for a title from the emperor. Now you, the concubine, are considered to have a high rank and salary. Therefore, tonight is a good time for you and the crown prince to pay homage to the Duke of Zhou.

Later in the day, the slave will bring someone to wash up for the queen."

Looking at Ling Xiu's dull eyes, which gradually became more hollow, the maid seemed to smile sweeter, and looked at her deeply before leaving...

On the other side, in the bedroom where the princess lived alone, there was a sound of cracking porcelain, and there was a faint sound of an angry woman yelling.

Several maids were guarding the door, not daring to enter.

The grandma who was waiting inside knelt on the ground, crying and holding Qin Hongxiu's legs, crying, otherwise Qin Hongxiu would smash things again.

"My dear, please don't fall again. If you accidentally get a cut, what do you want me to do to the master and his wife?"

"My dearest lady, cherishing yourself is the most important thing. Your health has never been good, so don't let yourself get angry."

"Empress..."

I don’t know how long it took for the two masters and servants to beat each other and persuade them.

He only knew that there was nothing that Qin Hongxiu could do in this room, so he stopped.

However, this mess is really giving people a headache.

"Mother, who provoked you? Tell Auntie and she will help you vent your anger!" Finally, when Qin Hongxiu calmed down, the old Auntie did not rush to ask anyone to come and pack her things, but helped Qin Hongxiu to the bedroom.

Washing up inside. While combing Qin Hongxiu's most cherished hair, she comforted her.

Qin Hongxiu, who was feeling depressed, originally went to pay respects to the queen. Unexpectedly, she encountered some troubles on the way and soiled her clothes, so she asked someone to come back to pick them up. He took four female officials to Juhui Palace first, or from there.

She entered through the corner door without disturbing anyone. She was originally going to wait for someone to get her clothes before going in to say hello, but she saw the prince entering the dormitory from the outside. So, she left the female officer behind and walked over alone.

There was no one left outside the queen's chamber, so she walked over quietly, but she heard the confrontation between the prince and the queen outside.

She was so angry that she went crazy. However, she was calmer and calmer than Ling Xiu. After all, she had been with the prince for the longest time, and she had long been used to watching the whole yard being married to the prince one by one. And she herself had been married back then.

In a grand marriage, she could use her past glory to deceive herself and tell herself that the prince loved her.

But now, he keeps saying that he wants Ling Zihan to be the queen and that bitch to give him children... You know, the position of the queen belongs to her, and she is the crown princess!

"...Mom, tell me, has the prince really changed his mind? Or was his proposal to marry me just to win over my mother-in-law's wife? He has never loved me at all!"

Qin Hongxiu wiped her tears and told her confidant what she had heard word for word.

Just like Qin Hongxiu did when she was a child, Mammy held her in her arms, stroked her long hair, and said in a slow and comforting voice: "My queen, you are the crown prince, a top-notch princess. Back then, the prince wanted to marry you.

But those who put in a lot of effort, even risking their lives

How could Xiangzhu be just a prostitute? Think about it, how could the prince risk his own life? There are so many women in the world who envy you. In the future, you will definitely be a mother-in-law to the world. Even if the prince does not agree,

No one in the world will refuse to agree."

"But he said that when he ascends to the throne in the future, he will praise that bitch——"

"Shh-" Mammy put her somewhat rough fingers in front of her lips and shook her head towards the pear-shaped Crown Princess, "Prince Princess, don't worry too much. To put it bluntly, even if the Crown Prince really gets that

So what about the Ninth Princess? A brother taking his brother's wife is a royal scandal. Even the old slave feels ashamed when he hears it, not to mention

All people in the world. If the crown prince is honored with a great treasure, he must also consider the public opinion and will never do such a thing that goes against the laws of nature. Even if he does, he will not show it off everywhere with great fanfare. Furthermore, then,

How can you let him get away with you so easily? The Ninth Prince is not easy to deal with!"

Qin Hongxiu calmed down, and with some planning in mind, she nodded and said, "You're right."

She was very lucky that she had acted soberly in Juhui Palace just now.

Now I believe that if she had stood up to confront the prince just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Now, she has not taken any action, and she has not argued with the prince like Ling Xiu did. She has handled it well.

After some hesitation, she raised her head and glanced at the worried old nanny, reached out and patted the back of her hand, and gave her a meaningful look: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Nanny, tomorrow, you can take it with me

I am leaving the palace and going home. Send a message to my father and ask him to invite that 'master' here."

That Ling Zihan cannot be kept...

Early the next morning, the so-called master came to visit.

Also coming was Qin Shangshu, Qin Hongxiu’s father.

"I would like to send my regards to the Crown Princess, Your Majesty Jin An." Qin Shangshu tried his best to lower his slightly round body, but his figure was too round, and when he bent it, he looked like he was performing acrobatics, which made people laugh inexplicably.

Qin Hongxiu raised her hand and signaled the maids on both sides to help the minister up and give him a seat. In a blink of an eye, he looked at the thin figure kneeling on the ground. He was wearing nondescript Taoist robes and it was unclear which Taoist temple he came from.

The person is still a trap and abductor out there. But the strange thing is that this person does not show his true face, but wears a mask made of gold. The gold is dazzling and particularly dazzling.
To be continued...
