Su Rumeng took Liu Yunxiang outside the hall and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yunxiang asked in confusion.

Su Rumeng smiled, "You go in by yourself."

Seeing that Su Rumeng seemed to be embarrassed, Liu Yunxiang nodded and asked Su Rumeng to go back and rest, and she went in by herself.

When he arrived at the living room, Liu Yunxiang saw the queen sitting in the main seat, closing her eyes to rest. However, after three years of seeing her, the queen's hair turned gray, her old look revealed, and her brows were frowning, as if she hadn't let go for a long time.

She was the queen and had two legitimate sons, which was the most favorable situation, but one or two sons were not good at it. She couldn't teach her well and could not protect her. As the situation slowly turned around, she had no choice.

"You have actually returned to Beijing." The queen slowly opened her eyes and looked at Liu Yunxiang, her eyes darkened, "The seventh brother died in Beijin. If I were you, I would hide in Zhenbei and would never return to Beijing."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Zhenbei is no longer safe for me."

"Oh? They don't just recognize you and Lao Qi?"

"Shangguan Xu's people control the situation."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "That old guy is very cunning. Only Lao Qi can escape from his hands, which is a pity."

"My son is in Shangguan Xu's hands."

The queen raised her eyebrows, "So what?"

"So I want to ask the queen to help save my son."

When the queen heard this, she first thought she had heard it wrong, and then she felt that Liu Yunxiang was joking, but when she saw her serious look, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You asked me to help you? Haha, Liu Yunxiang, Liu Yunxiang, I went to Beijin. Are you stupid? You actually asked to come to me?" The queen smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth.

Liu Yunxiang looked at her quietly, waiting for her to smile enough.

When the queen saw Liu Yunxiang like this, her smile slowly closed, "No, you are like Yan Mu, you are full of calculating, you..."

The queen thought of something, slapped the table hard and said coldly: "No matter what your plan is, I will never believe you again, let alone help you!"

Thinking of her having been plotted against by Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang several times before, she had already had a memory and would never fall into it again.

This time it was Liu Yunxiang's turn to laugh: "Empress, Yan Mu is dead, Zhenbei is lost, I, Liu Yunxiang, have nothing left. Do you still make you so afraid? Besides, you came to see me today, so you won't just come to laugh at me, right?"

The queen narrowed her eyes, "Then why do you think I came to see you?"

"You can't deal with Jin You and Shangguan Xu alone, you need help."

"Ha, you said you can help me?"

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "We are helping each other. The queen helped me save my son from Shangguan Xu. I helped the queen turn around the passive situation so that the third and fourth princes could return to their position."

"Ha, it's up to you?"

"Does the queen have no other choice?"

The queen pursed her lips, and she was indeed gone. In the past three years, Shangguan Xu suppressed her father and brother, and his father and brother were no longer as powerful as before. The other ministers who had clinged to her gradually surrendered to Shangguan Xu.

She is now at the point of being isolated and helpless. Once the emperor decides to become a crown prince, she has no chance of winning.

The queen lowered her eyes. She didn't trust Liu Yunxiang and knew that she might be exploited, but she had no other way.

Liu Yunxiang pulled the corner of her mouth and continued, "The emperor ordered the grand election to fill the harem. What did the queen think the emperor thought?"

The queen shouted, "The palace chooses a beautiful girl every three years. What's so strange about this?"

"But the last time the emperor canceled it, and the last time he went to the court. Although he was elected, the woman who was elected was sent out of the palace again. This time it was a general election. All regions selected the election, which mobilized many troops and aroused opposition from the ministers. The emperor was furious in the court and dismissed many officials from office and investigated them. This shows that he did not follow the convention, but wanted to choose."

The queen sighed, "The emperor has nine sons, but there are only nine princes in front of him. He probably wants to have several more princes in the palace."

Liu Yunxiang lowered her eyes, and the queen didn't say anything, that is, the third prince and the fourth prince are not good, and if the emperor becomes a crown prince, he can only be the ninth prince.

"Is the ninth prince weak?"

The queen was puzzled by why Liu Yunxiang asked this and said, "No, the ninth prince has been practicing martial arts with the martial arts master since he was a child, so he has become very strong."

"The Ninth Prince is a stupid person?"

"Hmph, I have a lot of heart and eyes, just like his mother."

"Is homework good?"

"It's okay, I often get the praises from the Grand Tutor."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Since the ninth prince is so outstanding, why is the emperor eager to add another child? Just pass the throne to him."

The queen silenced for a moment, then sneered: "The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are ten years apart. In other words, during these ten years, the emperor did not let other concubines in the harem get pregnant. When Jin You entered the palace, he became pregnant soon. There were indeed such rumors in the palace that the emperor could not give birth to children and that Jin You was pregnant with a wild breed. But it was just a rumor. The emperor did not believe it at all. In addition, there was Shangguan Xu behind Jin You, and Shangguan Xu's power was so powerful that he could cover the sky with one hand. To be honest, even if the Ninth Prince was really not the emperor's seed, Shangguan Xu could still support him to the throne."

And she was already trampled by them, and it was almost impossible to turn over.

"The emperor must have doubts, so he gave a draft."

The queen changed her mind, "But the emperor favored the ninth prince very much, and he taught him how to practice martial arts and calligraphy himself, and even took him to the court. How could he doubt it?"

"I didn't doubt it before, but now I doubt it. The emperor probably discovered something."

Liu Yunxiang said this without random guess. She remembered that in her previous life, the ninth prince ascended the throne, Jin You became the empress dowager, Yan Mu was executed, and soon a scandal broke out in the palace. The empress dowager was pregnant and was still pregnant with a child of a eunuch, but the eunuch was not clean at all.

Shangguan Xu originally wanted to support Qin Feishi. With his wisdom to control the overall situation, how could Jin You get pregnant with the emperor's child? This is like leaving a disaster for themselves.

So she guessed that the ninth prince was not the emperor's seed. Yan Mu might have known in the previous life that Jin You trusted him and did not want his tail to be in his hands, so he falsely accused and killed him.

Of course, all of this is just her guess.

"The queen might as well check out the Jinyou Palace, especially the little eunuch around her, who might find some big secrets."

The queen was not stupid, so she naturally understood what Liu Yunxiang meant and couldn't help but be shocked, "How is that possible!"

"How can the queen know if she doesn't check it?"

The queen exhaled, "According to what you said, the emperor has discovered it, so why don't he deal with Jin You?"

"The emperor may not have discovered the truth, he just doubted something because of something, otherwise the current situation would not be like this."

"If it's true, then..."

"The third prince and the fourth prince can return to their position."

The emperor needs his son to consolidate the country. As for whether he can have a child, that is a story later.
