The Empress Dowager had people arrest the thief all night but could not catch it, so she had to give up.
The Queen Mother also strengthened the security of Chaoyang Palace. It was guarded at all times every night, and there were shadow guards in the dark places.
Sure enough, the older you get, the more you cherish your life.
The palace was in the spotlight at this time, and Wen Nianruan did not dare to commit crimes, so he had to stay quietly in Fuhua Palace.
After the two-month confinement was over, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to invite Wen Nianruan to chat.
As night fell and Wen Nianruan had just finished taking a bath, Aunt Gui came with a smile on her face: "Concubine Wen has not been able to leave the palace for this period of time, but she has missed the Queen Mother so much. How can Concubine Wen today?"
As soon as the confinement ended, the Queen Mother sent an old slave to invite Concubine Wen to come over and say some thoughtful words."
She didn't come to call for help during the day, but now she comes to talk to her at night. What kind of trouble does the Queen Mother want to make?
Thinking of the plan I mentioned last time, could it be part of it?
Wen Nianruan's eyes glowed with a faint light, and he said with a smile: "Aunt Gui, please wait a moment, let me change my clothes."
After Wen Nianruan finished changing his clothes, he took Qiubai to Chaoyang Palace.
After entering the palace, Wen Nianruan saw Xiao Weixuan at first sight, but did not expect that he was there.
Xiao Weixuan lost his right hand, and his whole arm was hidden in his sleeves, which looked very empty. After this period of adjustment, Xiao Weixuan's complexion became much better, but the indigo under his eyes could still be seen as a sign of indulgence.
As soon as Wen Nianruan entered the palace, Xiao Weixuan's eyes were glued to her, with a faint lustful light in his eyes.
The last time I met Wen Nianruan at night, I was drunk and didn't see Wen Nianruan's face clearly. Now I could see Wen Nianruan clearly and couldn't help but lick my dry lips.
Wen Nianruan glanced at Xiao Weixuan, said nothing, and bowed to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood and asked Wen Nianruan to sit down with a smile on her face.
The Queen Mother calmly glanced at Xiao Weixuan, and seeing his eyes moving softly, she knew what he was thinking.
She knows better than anyone the virtues of her precious son.
The Queen Mother raised her hand and waved away the palace servants, including Qiu Bai: "You go down first, Ai Jia and Nian Ruan have a few thoughtful words," she turned to look at Xiao Weixuan, with kind eyes: "Xuan'er, time is running out.
It’s early, go back and rest quickly.”
"No, I don't want to leave yet. I want to stay with my mother for a while longer." Xiao Weixuan sat motionless on the chair and had no intention of leaving.
"Okay, okay, then just sit here quietly with your mother and don't interrupt randomly. Ai Jia and Nian Ruan will chat for a while."
The Queen Mother was smiling all over her face, and she was particularly doting on Xiao Weixuan.
Aunt Gui closed the palace door and lit the incense ashes in the incense burner. The fragrant mist curled up and the light fragrance filled the entire palace.
Aunt Gui poured Wen Nianruan another cup of tea, then retreated to the Queen Mother and stood respectfully.
The Queen Mother held the hot tea and sighed softly: "Nian Ruan has been in confinement for a long time. It has been really hard for you, and you have suffered such great injustice. But fortunately, the emperor has not punished you too severely, which is considered a blessing.
Already."
"Empress Dowager, I did not harm Zhao Xiuyi at all. I was wronged," Wen Nian's misty eyes were filled with grievances.
You have to do everything when it comes to acting, right?
"Of course the Ai family knows that you were wronged," the Queen Mother pretended to feel distressed, but then turned cold: "The Ai family's plan was perfect, but I didn't expect that Su Wanyan got away with it in the end, and you were wronged."
Regarding what happened last time, the Queen Mother spoke frankly and did not hide anything from Wen Nianruan. She made it clear that she was the one who did it and the purpose was to frame Su Wanyan.
The Queen Mother sighed: "That's all. It's over. There's no need to mention it again. There will be many opportunities to bring down Su Wanyan in the future." After a pause, the Queen Mother took a sip of tea and glanced at Wen Nianruan: "
However, after this incident, it can be seen that the emperor still has some affection for you, otherwise you would have been thrown into the cold palace long ago. Take this opportunity to get close to the emperor. Zhao Xiuyi has now had a miscarriage, and the only heir of the royal family has also died.
No, it will be time for the emperor to choose the queen in a while. If you can conceive Longzi during this period, the Ai family and ministers will definitely support you to take the throne. With Longzi, there is no reason for the emperor not to name you the queen.
back."
Speaking of which, the Queen Mother has entered the topic.
Wen Nianruan lowered his head, picked at his fingers, and looked embarrassed: "But, in these years, so many concubines in the harem have not conceived a son or a half, how can I conceive as soon as I say."
"You don't have to worry about it. As long as the Aijia wants you to get pregnant, then you must be able to get pregnant," the smile on the Queen Mother's face indicated that she was determined to do so.
Wen Nian softly lowered his eyes and thought, so to speak, there have been no heirs in the harem. It was indeed the Queen Mother who was behind it. Otherwise, Xiao Jinran would not have had a child for so many years.
The Queen Mother's methods were not only clever, but also ruthless, which not only prevented Xiao Jinran from finding out the cause, but also cut off Xiao Jinran's escape route.
In order for Wen Nianruan to take the post, the Queen Mother had to have a child to have a better chance of winning. However, it was impossible for the Queen Mother to get pregnant with other concubines in the harem.
The hall was filled with fragrant mist, and the door and window lattice were closed. It was a bit stuffy in the hall. Wen Nianruan's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. He took a few sips of tea and the heat in his body was dissipated.
The Queen Mother kept paying attention to Wen Nianruan's movements from the corner of her eye, with a faint smile in her eyes. After finishing the tea in her hand, she put down the tea cup and wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief: "The Ai family knows that you have concerns, but don't worry, Ai
Everything has been arranged for you, you don’t have to do anything, just lie on the emperor’s bed and wait for favor.”
Wen Nianruan seemed to hear something, and suddenly felt bad. He suddenly raised his eyes: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"Don't you feel any changes in your body yet?" The Queen Mother rubbed her long armor and smiled kindly: "The Ai family knows that you haven't had sex with the emperor yet, and they are afraid that you will not be able to let go for the first time. Ai Jia
My family went out of their way to help.”
Wen Nianruan's pupils shrank, and he instantly felt waves of heat rushing through his body.
Gan!
She's been tricked!
Despite all the precautions, I still failed!
Wen Nianruan suppressed the restlessness in his body and asked with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead: "What kind of medicine did the Queen Mother give?"
"Drunken joy."
It’s the bottle of love potion that Feng Jinyan asked for!
Unexpectedly, it was actually used for her.
Wen Nianruan now wants to strangle Feng Jinyan to death.
The effect of Zuihuan's medicine was so strong that Wen Nianruan's whole body became weak and weak. Waves of heat came over her body, making her feel like thousands of ants crawling on her body, making her extremely uncomfortable.
She held the armrests of the chair with both hands, trying to wake herself up, and called out: "Qiu Bai."
The weak voice was as thin as a mosquito.
The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt Gui, who understood and knocked Wen Nianruan unconscious with a palm from behind.
Aunt Gui immediately extinguished the incense in the incense burner and opened the window lattice to let some air in. The palace immediately became cooler and was no longer as stuffy as before.
