"Your Majesty, my subordinates did not find out what happened to the Princess and the Queen Mother. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" The black figure disappeared in the shadow of the study, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"The fact that the Queen Mother can turn around from a demoted concubine and regain her status as Queen Mother is enough to show her ability. It's natural that you can't find out." Yuan Shao waved his hand, not intending to punish, but took it from the study cabinet on the side.
He took out a box and placed it in front of the black figure.
The box is engraved with repeated patterns. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice much. But if you look carefully, the patterns are combined to create a scene of lakes and mountains, and graceful willow branches. Then, in the lower corner, there is a mysterious font engraved with "Willow".
The word "son".
This box was Liu Miao'er's arrow box. There was a brand-new bow inside, and twenty bright silver arrows were placed under the bow. It looked like it was not ordinary. But Liu Miao'er said that this was hers.
A friend gave it to her to give her a skill.
Yuan Shao didn't ask who this friend was, because he felt that he shouldn't show jealousy in front of Liu Miao'er, so he could only investigate in secret. This bow and this box of arrows were made with fine workmanship, and they were obviously made by Liu Miao'er.
It is impossible for ordinary people to have such good materials. Liu Miao'er is a simple woman, and he doesn't want her to be deceived, so it is not too much to ask Shadow to check it secretly.
"Zhaifeng, check the origin of this box."
Yuan Shao gave an order, and the black figure glanced at the arrow box, then quickly took a pen and paper to trace on the items, and left Yuan Shao's sight with the drawing.
The black shadow disappeared and Jinyuan became quiet again. Yuan Shao put the arrow box back to its original place and returned to the house. In the house, under the light, Liu Miao'er was sleeping with a frown on her face and a look of panic. Yuan Shao took off his coat.
He got on the quilt and hugged her, keeping her close to his heart to keep her warm.
As a princess, he could be so sad after the death of a woman. No matter how you looked at it, she had nothing to do with the cruel Queen Mother. Even if she did, she must have her own reasons. In fact, he really wanted to ask Liu Miaoer directly about her.
What happened in the past, but seeing her growing belly, Yuan Shao did not dare to stimulate her, so he could only wait until the child was born before making a decision.
What's more, the Winter Solstice state banquet will be held soon, and Liu Miao'er, as the princess, must attend. If there is anything else then, maybe some clues can be found.
All he wants is to wait.
It's late at night and people are quiet. People who sleep peacefully are warm and gradually stay away from nightmares.
Early winter is approaching, and the rooms in the palace are also replaced with heaters. Because all the concubines have been sent away, the palace is suddenly much empty. Except for the Jin Garden and the Jingxin Garden, the other courtyards only need to be cleaned carefully and not left unused. Qin
The weather in the city was very cold in winter. Liu Miao'er hugged the small heater and sat on the small couch reading a book, enjoying the comfort of being pampered.
The death of Mrs. Ling'er left a mark on Liu Miao'er's heart, but after Yuan Shao's enlightenment, she also knew that in the royal family, she could not be alone. If Yuan Shao really wants to ascend the throne, if Daxia is really in chaos, then
In order to survive, she could not avoid taking human lives. Haitang came quietly once and said, Liu Miaoer, if you want to live, if you want to save your son and husband, it is inevitable to kill people with your hands, because you
He has a special status because your husband has a special status!
So under Yuan Shao's guidance day after day, Liu Miao'er gradually figured out that reality is reality and there is no beauty in fairy tales. She has to bear sin while gaining happiness. This is God's fairest arrangement. That day of leisure
She went out to buy necessary things for the baby in her belly. When she passed by the execution ground and saw a death row prisoner being hacked to death, the blood splattered made her feel sick, but she no longer felt fear.
She was extremely panicked when something happened once, but she accepted it the second time. Liu Miaoer felt that she was easily assimilated, and she was no longer afraid when she saw the death of a life.
Perhaps, from now on, she will really become a cruel woman, like the concubine who lives in the Jingxin Garden, who chants Buddhist scriptures but can kill people with just a raise of her hand. Who said that, the Buddha and
The demons have the same roots, just one with a holy lotus blooming towards the sky, and the other crawling in the dark underground, counting the grains of fine sand. Liu Miaoer sighed for a long time. A few days later, she encountered an assassin who came to assassinate her in Jinyuan.
Seeing the gleaming sword stabbing towards her, she immediately understood that her identity was special after all. If you don't kill others for protection, then they will become the ghosts of others under the sword.
So Liu Miao'er was relieved. She saw the assassin who was impaled by Qing Po unwillingly and fell at her feet. She could still show a sarcastic smile.
Yuan Shao, for you and for the children, I will no longer be afraid, so we must be happy, you know?
Liu Miao'er held her belly and smiled, and was working on the birthday dinner she prepared for Yuan Shao in the kitchen of the palace. The dishes did not change much, but Liu Miao'er carefully arranged the dishes on the table into a shape by changing the colors.
The word "Shao" filled the table, which looked pleasing to the eye. Then she moved two of the dishes, and the word "Shao" disappeared. It looked the same as the usual decorations. Liu Miaoer thought about waiting for Yuan Shao
When she came back, she moved the two plates in the same way, which surprised Yuan Shao.
When the time comes, she will tell Yuan Shao the story of the little fairy Liu Miao'er and the demon Yuan Shao that she has worked hard to compile these days, and she will definitely make Yuan Shao have a happy birthday. It was only today that Liu Miao'er knew
It turns out that my birthday is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the Lantern Festival after the New Year.
At the end of the year, the child was about to be born. When the time came to celebrate her birthday, she, Liu Miaoer, would take her husband and child to watch the lanterns, and feel comfortable as she pleased.
Thinking of this, Liu Miao'er laughed silly in the kitchen. The old ladies in the kitchen had learned Liu Miao'er's ability to deal with concubines, and Liu Miao'er was not harsh on people on weekdays, so they didn't do much.
She was free to talk about what to say. But Bi'er watched Liu Miao'er prepare for Yuan Shao's birthday, and wondered if she should also ask Qinghun's birthday.
Qing Hun was driving the carriage, and he suddenly sneezed when Bi'er talked about it. In the carriage, Yuan Shao was thinking about what Liu Miao'er said in the morning about giving him a surprise, and he was also curious, asking Qing Hun to hurry up.
go back.
It was getting late. Recently, he and Ying Qi had been delayed for too long discussing border issues. He didn't know if Liu Miao'er would be angry when he went back.
But he wanted to see what tricks his precious princess could come up with.
A smile appeared on Yuan Shao's lips, and he ordered Qinghun to speed up the carriage. The carriage drove through the street and entered the North City, but was stopped by a little maid in an alley not far from the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened, Miss, something happened!"
The woman's voice was hoarse and she was crying and was about to rush towards the carriage. Qinghun's expression changed and he hurriedly pulled the reins, but he still inevitably knocked the woman down.
The woman was knocked to the ground, and the carriage stopped under the control of Qinghun. Yuan Shao opened the door with a sullen face and walked out. The maid who fell on the ground crawled over and grabbed the hem of Yuan Shao's clothes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened, something happened to the Miss! Your Majesty, I beg you to save the Miss. After all, the Miss was once the Prince's concubine. Please save the Miss!"
The woman was crying so hard that her face was already stained and her body was in tatters. You could see the marks on her neck. Yuan Shao looked at the face for a long time and recognized it before he knew that the woman had said the word "concubine". Only then did he realize that this woman was Chen Linlang's maid named Ruyu.
"Something happened? What happened!"
Yuan Shao's expression changed, and he pulled Ruyu up. Ruyu's voice was already mute. Looking at Yuan Shao's face, he hurriedly pulled him and cried: "Your Majesty, today is the day... today is your Majesty's." It’s my birthday. The lady was talking about the prince. She wanted to make a serving of your favorite glaze cake, but she didn’t want to be robbed by a group of thieves just after leaving the village. Those people...those people saw the lady. He and Mrs. Hongye were both beautiful and beautiful, and Miss... Miss and Mrs. Hongye were both humiliated. Even the slaves and slaves were not spared. By the time the guards from the other village arrived, Mrs. Hongye was already dead, Miss, Miss. My innocence is gone! Your Majesty, the young lady cannot think about it and wants to hang herself. Please save the young lady!"
Ruyu burst into tears, ruining her pretty face. She cried intermittently. When she finished speaking, Yuan Shao and Qing Hun's expressions changed at the same time.
How could things become like this!
After getting into the carriage with Ruyu, Yuan Shao ordered Qing Hun to drive the carriage to the villa outside the city. Qing Hun did not dare to delay. The horse galloped like a whip, and the carriage started running, gradually leaving the scope of the Runan Palace.
In early winter, the villa outside the city was very cold. The moment Yuan Shao stepped into the villa, what he saw was Chen Linlang jumping into the pool when others were not prepared. Chen Linlang quickly sank into the cold water. , Yuan Shao jumped in without thinking and fished the person out.
"Come here, prepare the stove, prepare the charcoal fire! Don't let anyone get into trouble again!"
Yuan Shao anxiously put him on the bed and asked a maid to come over and change Chen Linlang's clothes. However, when the servants saw Yuan Yangsao, they knelt on the ground and did not dare to say anything or move.
"What's going on! Let you prepare the stove!"
Yuan Shao shouted loudly, but the servants were trembling with fear. No one dared to move.
"You didn't hear what I said!"
Yuan Shao was angry, with a sullen expression on his face. Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground. Seeing that they were about to be punished, Ruyu, who was wrapped in a piece of clothing, ran out and knelt down in front of Yuan Shao. After getting off: "Your Majesty, there is no stove or charcoal fire in the other village. The princess said that we are all lowly people and don't need these things, so we didn't prepare anything!"
Ruyu said sadly and angrily. Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically, while Qing Hun beside him frowned.
Why is the princess so ignorant!
Yuan Shao couldn't help but get angry, so he waved his hand and entered the room. In the room, Chen Linlang changed her clothes and woke up leisurely. When she saw Yuan Shao's expression changed greatly, she was about to hit the pillar on the side.
"Linlang!"
Yuan Shao hurriedly grabbed her, but Chen Linlang struggled hard and tears kept falling.
"Your Majesty, please let me die. Now I have lost my innocence, lost the protection of the palace, and am hated by the princess. I know that I am not qualified to be loved and cared for by the prince. My innocence is gone, and I have no face left.
In this world, so my lord, please let me die, let me die in front of you, at least, at least I am still clean."
Chen Linlang's eyes were as red and swollen as peaches. It looked like she had been crying for a long time. There were blue marks and bruises on her neck, which made Yuan Shao feel extremely distressed.
"Linlang! I am the one who can't help you! I will definitely find out who did this. Don't get excited first. My teacher said he wants you to live well, so you can't give up casually. No more.
If you are chaste, you can still marry again, there is no need to seek death!"
Yuan Shao was also anxious. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He hugged Chen Linlang to comfort her, hoping that this woman could settle down.
"remarry?"
Chen Linlang was stunned, looking at Yuan Shao with tearful eyes, and shook her head in despair.
"Your Majesty, there is no possibility for me to remarry. My body is dirty. I feel disgusted even if others don't." At this point, Chen Linlang suddenly wiped away her tears as if she had decided something.
Looking at Yuan Shao: "Your Majesty, I will not die. I know that I have no weight in the prince's heart, but if I die, the prince will feel guilty. I will not make the prince feel guilty, so I will become a monk.
I want to stay in the empty door to wash away the dirt on my body, and at the same time, I can save my sister Hongye!"
Saying that, Chen Linlang knelt down, looked at Yuan Shao, and said decisively: "I ask the prince to do it for me!"
