In the huge palace, Liu Miao'er's voice could be clearly heard. She was slightly blessed and well-mannered.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and followed the voice. Her eyes wandered back and forth on Liu Miao'er, sizing up Liu Miao'er as if she was seeing her for the first time.
Then, the Queen Mother smiled, and Liu Miaoer frowned slightly. She raised her eyes and found that although she was under house arrest, the Queen Mother was still dressed up, with a dark peony silk flower inserted diagonally on her temples, and she was wearing a robe with a ball of golden orioles flying in the air. If
Not only did her whole face look haggard and old, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could be seen from such a distance, Liu Miaoer could only exclaim, whose girl is this, so beautiful and charming!
The Queen Mother must have been a beauty once too!
Liu Miao'er looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also looked at Liu Miao'er at this time. Eunuch Ning came over to ask the Queen Mother for something, but the Queen Mother waved her hand and continued to look at Liu Miao'er. When she saw her increasingly delicate face,
, the Queen Mother smiled.
"Shui Linglong!"
These three short words shocked Liu Miao'er's whole body. Shui Linglong in her body also woke up at this time and told Liu Miao'er to do as she said.
"Shui Linglong, the Ai family didn't expect that you would go to such an extent! The Ai family didn't expect that you would give up your position as the Crown Princess of Beining and become the Princess of Runan with peace of mind!"
The Queen Mother's voice was very gentle, but when she spoke, a powerful cold air rushed towards her face. Liu Miao'er was naturally not afraid, but she felt Shui Linglong shudder, but then, there was a sneer.
"Shui Linglong? Queen Mother, it seems that you are really old. My concubine is Liu Miao'er, Princess of Runan."
When Liu Miao'er followed Shui Linglong's words, her tone and expression were arrogant and sarcastic. However, the Queen Mother seemed to have expected Liu Miao'er's denial. She chuckled and her eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Shui Linglong, you think you don't admit it.
, the Ai family can’t do anything to you, you think that with Yuan Shao protecting you, the Ai family can’t punish you! You kept saying that you would risk everything for the sake of the Prince of Beining, but now you are hastily burying the hatchet!"
The Queen Mother smiled, and her face softened when she saw Liu Miao'er's unmoving expression, but just one word made Shui Linglong tremble.
"Shui Linglong, are your feelings for Qin Minghan fake after all?"
"no!"
This was Shui Linglong's subconscious answer, and she fell silent as soon as she said it, but only Liu Miao'er could hear it. While she was surprised, Liu Miao'er looked at the Queen Mother, and looked at her expression that she thought she understood everything, which evoked a sense of wonder.
A bright smile came: "What did the Queen Mother say, Qin Minghan? Isn't Qin Minghan the prince of Beining? Now that the two countries are at war, it is best for the Queen Mother not to mention this name. If the Queen Mother doesn't want to live, she can just solve it herself, my concubine.
, I still want to have children and grandchildren and live a happy life!"
Liu Miao'er said this to give Shui Linglong some buffering time. She came to see Qin Shuixin today, not to deal with the Queen Mother, but after hearing Shui Linglong's words, the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What did you say? The two countries are at war!"
Without fear or panic, the Queen Mother suddenly stood up and her eyes were as bright as a sharp sword. The surprise bursting out of her eyes made Liu Miaoer couldn't help but take a step back.
Why is the Queen Mother so happy when the two countries go to war?
Before Liu Miao'er came back to her senses, the Queen Mother had already smiled. Eunuch Ning on the side was also full of smiles, and the Queen Mother even turned around and walked around the main hall and rushed into the inner hall, laughing loudly.
"Hahaha, hahaha, the war has begun! The war has begun! I didn't expect that the Ai family has not taken action yet, but the war has begun! Qin Minghan, you did a good job, very good!"
The Queen Mother's wanton laughter came over, making Liu Miao'er surprised. It seemed that this war was what the Queen Mother wanted to see most. When she asked Shui Linglong what was going on, Shui Linglong didn't know.
"Liu Miao'er, I only know that the Queen Mother has been helping the Crown Prince and draining Daxia's power. I don't know anything else! But I can be sure that there is someone from the Queen Mother in the army, and he is also a general."
Maybe she has gone to the border now. If the Queen Mother wants a war, I don’t know what she would ask that person who is called a useless general to do."
The Queen Mother's laughter brought Shui Linglong back to her senses. This unexpected situation made the two of them deep in thought. Liu Miao'er didn't know the purpose of the Queen Mother doing this, but since there are people from the Queen Mother in the army, this battle will probably
I'm afraid it won't be easy to win.
After all, Qin Minghan seems to have a close relationship with the Queen Mother!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Liu Miaoer felt that she needed to remind Yuan Sheng that after all, she had two brothers in the army, but Shui Linglong asked her to meet Qin Shuixin first.
"I just remembered it now, Liu Miao'er, don't be naive, no one will believe you if you tell me, changing the commander before the battle is a taboo for military strategists!"
Yes, I forgot about this!
Liu Miao'er stopped, but the Queen Mother's happy laughter did not stop. Shui Linglong had already sorted out her mood and asked Liu Miao'er to see Qin Shuixin.
As for the Queen Mother's matter, she still had to go back and discuss it with Yuan Shao and Yuan Jing.
Going along the corridor of the side door of the main hall, there is a small attic. In front of the attic is a pool of water. The original lotus pavilion is now decayed. The little eunuch who was silent just now led Liu Miao'er to the front of the attic and gently
There was a knock on the door, and out came Su Lan, the palace maid who had been following Qin Shuixin.
Seeing Liu Miao'er, Su Lan was stunned, but without asking anything, she led Liu Miao'er into the lobby of the attic.
This place was originally a rest room set up by our ancestors for their favorite concubines. The furnishings and decorations inside are all decorated with the daughter's favorite gauze curtains, blue and white ornaments and other items. The atmosphere of the attic is very soft, and the one facing you
On the beauty couch, there sat a woman, her face turned upward, as cold as ice, like a snow girl walking out of the ice and snow, her beauty was breathtaking.
It's a pity that such a beautiful woman is an enemy! An enemy that she, Liu Miaoer, has to make calculations to protect her own best interests.
And this woman is naturally not someone who can be manipulated.
The little eunuch who had brought them withdrew from the door without closing it. Qin Shuixin looked at Liu Miao'er's beautiful face and Zhou Zhong's nails couldn't help but dig into her palms. She didn't greet Liu Miao'er.
Miao'er greeted herself, found a brocade stool and sat down, and looked at Qin Shuixin at leisure.
Seeing this, Qin Shuixin's originally gloomy face suddenly burst into a smile, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Liu Miao'er: "I didn't expect that a little maid back then could actually make it this far.
It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it! It's just a pity that even if you tell Long Sheng and let the emperor of Daxia imprison me, no matter what you do, you can't escape from Qin Minghan's palm!"
The words Qin Minghan will always be Shui Linglong's nightmare, but after what the Queen Mother said just now, Shui Linglong's fear has eased a lot.
"Really? Then I want to see who has the last laugh! The princess has always been aloof and aloof, how could she know the thoughts of people like us? It's a pity that the man who the princess has liked for ten years now has no choice in her heart.
The people inside are all me, this little maid!"
Liu Miao'er's voice was extremely sarcastic, and her eyes looking at Qin Shuixin were also full of sympathy.
pity!
Such a pitiful look made Qin Shui very angry, but he still held back his anger. However, Liu Miao'er felt her depression and snorted coldly: "Why, you stepped on me back then and thought you were extremely noble?"
My princess, now a prisoner, knows how to swallow her anger!"
Liu Miao'er stimulated Qin Shui's nerves, and her original calm and calm disguise was instantly wiped away. She looked at Liu Miao'er, her eyes like blades, full of hatred.
"Shui Linglong! It seems that you still remember what happened back then. Don't forget what I told you when you were sent to the emperor by the prince to frame this princess." As he said this, Qin Shui seemed to think of something funny.
He chuckled a few times before continuing, "You are basically the woman who was given to the father by Qin Minghan. Do you think that you bewitched the father and made him make Qin Minghan the prince, and everything will be fine?
Come on! Shui Linglong, a maid will always be a maid, and you are also capable, but unfortunately, you are just a tool, a tool that you continue to deceive after being ruined by Qin Minghan!"
To the emperor?
The emperor of Beining?
Liu Miao'er didn't expect that she would get such news. She thought that the men related to Shui Linglong were just Qin Minghan and Yuan Shao, but now it seems that there is actually Emperor Beining who is not dead yet.
Shui Linglong was angry, and Liu Miao'er could feel her furious mood, so Liu Miao'er couldn't doubt Qin Shuixin's words.
Qin Shuixin frowned when she saw Liu Miao'er's shock. She didn't know why she was shocked. After Shui Linglong became angry, she quickly found a reason to refute.
"But I am living a good life now! But, what about you?"
Shui Linglong said this to Qin Shuixin, and Shui Linglong said it to Liu Miao'er. She then told Liu Miao'er that she was living a good life now and that what happened in the past had nothing to do with her.
She can bear the old and dark past alone. She can remember the man who cannot be erased in her life. She came to see Qin Shuixin not to settle old scores, but to get a
thing.
"Liu Miao'er, we can't wait any longer and take advantage of her anger to get the golden hairpin from Qin Shui's heart!"
Gold hairpin?
Liu Miao'er looked over and found that Qin Shuixin did have an inconspicuous golden hairpin on her head. She thought about it, looked at Qin Shuixin's livid face, and covered her mouth with a smile.
"Your Highness Princess, I don't know what you were talking about just now, but the only thing I know is that I am with Yuan Shao now. Yesterday, Yuan Shao said that he would do anything for me. I asked you
, but he said that he is not interested in women like you!"
Such words really made Qin Shuixin angry. She stood up and came over to give Liu Miao'er a slap, but Liu Miao'er dodged it and grabbed Qin Shuixin's hair and pulled the hair off her head.
The golden hairpin was torn off.
"Shui Linglong, what are you doing!"
Qin Shuixin's expression changed. He didn't expect Liu Miao'er to do this. He stretched out his hand to take back the golden hairpin. Unfortunately, Liu Miao'er had already run to the door under Shui Linglong's instructions. Qin Shuixin jumped out, but was blocked by the door.
The little eunuch stopped me, and Liu Miao'er took this opportunity to stuff me into his arms and ran out. Qin Shuixin shouted behind me, but Liu Miao'er just turned a deaf ear.
But looking back, she saw the nervous and crazy look on the ice-like woman's face. Liu Miao'er stopped, and then watched Qin Shuixin being thrown into the attic and closed by the guards who suddenly appeared.
After leaving the house, Liu Miaoer was not happy for some reason.
She didn't know what this hairpin meant to Qin Shuixin.
"Shui Linglong, what's going on?"
Shui Linglong didn't speak. After waiting for a long time, Liu Miao'er couldn't wait for the answer. She felt that she was too weak and didn't dare to delay, so she left the Furui Hall. The Queen Mother's laughter in the hall was still there. Eunuch Ning stood at the door and looked at her as usual.
The kind-hearted and insidious person, until Liu Miao'er left the Furui Palace and came to the Royal Garden, Shui Linglong's voice sounded weakly.
"Liu Miao'er, this hairpin is a benefit I gave you. I'm going to die soon. But before I die, I want to see Qin Minghan. I must do it!"
