After the emperor left, a figure walked out of the Nuan Pavilion. The man looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother sneered: "You heard it all? How about this method? Still can't get rid of that witch!"
The man knelt down and sobbed: "Queen Mother, it's my fault... I thought that if the Queen Mother put herself in danger, the Emperor would be concerned about the deep love between mother and son, so he would definitely have a problem with the Queen, but who knows..."
"Who knew that the emperor was so affectionate for Shen Huan?" The Queen Mother said with a wry smile, "The Ai family is from here, how could they not understand? The Ai family looked at it with cold eyes. Shen Huan was just pretending to be ingratiating with the emperor, and did not have the emperor's affection at all. The emperor may not know her true temperament, but he would rather believe that she is real. He is really deceiving himself! Such infatuation has reached such an extent! He must not want to be exposed, which shows that he can no longer extricate himself from the use of affection!"
The man listened in a daze, and the Queen Mother's words were filled with sadness, and she summoned the courage to say with great sorrow: "Is the Queen Mother willing to watch the Emperor become so obsessed? The Emperor is a wise and arbitrary king, can the Queen Mother bear to watch him because of this? Are you obsessed with being a witch?"
"Of course the Ai family doesn't want to see this kind of situation!" the Queen Mother said loudly, and then she sighed, "It's just that the Ai family has nothing to do about the current situation. The Ai family will never let that witch confuse the emperor's mind! She said to the man again: "You'd better save yourself first! If something like this happens, with the character of Shen Huan and the emperor, it's not difficult to find out that it's you who caused it! What's more, with the incident involving Rong Bin, Shen Huan might have been killed early." I just want to deal with you!"
The man sobbed and cried: "The Queen Mother, Qing'er's death is not a pity, but I can't help the Queen Mother get rid of that witch. In the future... I'm afraid I won't have the chance to serve the Queen Mother again."
The Queen Mother sighed: "Oh, Concubine Qing, if the Ai family can protect you, they will protect you one day. You'd better destroy those criminal evidences as soon as possible! If the witnesses and material evidence are really complete by then, the Ai family will also I can’t protect you!”
Concubine Qing cried: "Yes, Queen Mother, please rest assured, Qing'er will never embarrass the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked out through the Qian screen window with resentment. The bright spring light shone on her brown robe embroidered with pine and cranes, and the brocade gold threads glowed with a brilliant and dazzling light. She looked at the light, sighing deeply in her heart, and closed her eyes slightly.
Xichen accompanied Shen Huan back to Chen Palace. They passed several gardens on the way, and the fragrance of flowers came in. Xichen stretched out his hand to pull her, but she just turned her head away. Xichen pulled her tighter, and she stopped just now.
The slaves all stood far away, not daring to look directly at
Shen Huan looked up at the light and thin clouds in the sky, as if they would disperse if the wind blew.
Xichen said: "You used to love bowing your head the most. What's wrong now? It seems like you are complaining to me. Stop looking at me. Be careful and you will get dizzy if you look at it for too long."
Shen Wen met his eyes and asked with a soft smile: "Do you believe me so much that you know that I didn't make that thing?"
Xichen said calmly: "Didn't I say that we are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one and the same, what can't we talk about? Don't I understand you, Huan Huan? Such a thing cannot be Huan Huan. made"
He said so confidently that Shen Huan couldn't believe it. His attitude in the past few days seemed to be strangely gentle and tactful to himself, as if he only considered everything for himself because he was afraid that he would be caught by others if he did something wrong. Hold the handle
I was deliberately angry with myself that night, and it seemed that I had a deeper meaning.
Shen Huan sighed in her heart and said softly: "Let's go, don't stand here anymore."
Xichen took her hand and they went back together
When they arrived at the Chen Palace, Shen Huan seemed to remember something and said, "I want to change the Chen Palace Guards."
Xichen was not surprised and said: "It's up to you. This is your guard, and I should satisfy you. Who do you want to replace him with? Why don't I trade Wei Zifeng to you? He has high martial arts skills and is very responsible."
Shen Wen frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't want him."
How could she forget that it was the hateful Wei Zifeng who found her and Xi Chao and killed that family of innocent hunters!
"Then who do you want? You are not familiar with the guards in this palace."
"Who says I am not familiar with him? Even if others are not familiar with him, I still know that there is someone who protects me. I don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Oh? Who is that?"
"Xia Wenze"
When Xichen heard her say this name, he was a little confused. He shook his head and said, "No, he is in charge of the Northern Army now and can't be easily moved."
Shen Huan sneered and said: "My brother was also in charge of the Northern Army. Didn't the Emperor touch him too? The Northern Army cannot be moved, but that doesn't mean that the generals of the Northern Army cannot be moved!"
Xichen looked at her and saw that she had no intention of negotiating or giving in, so he asked helplessly: "Does it really have to be him?"
Shen Huan nodded firmly: "The Queen Mother's people were able to force their way in today, and the palace guard had to bear a certain responsibility. If Xia Wenze were here, I think he would not let other palace guards He broke in! Also, he has high martial arts skills and is very conscientious."
Xichen smiled and said: "In this case, it seems that he must be the palace guard."
Shen Huan said: "There is no more suitable candidate."
Xichen said: "Just asking him to give up his position as a general of the Northern Army and submit to the Chen Palace Guards, he may not be willing to do so!"
Shen Huan was stunned, and Xi Chen smiled again: "Forget it, Huan Huan trusts him so much, how could I not trust you? But in the future, I hope Huan Huan will also trust me, just like I trust Huan Huan. This will happen in the future." Whatever it is, remember to tell me, we are husband and wife, we should put all our efforts into the same place."
Shen Wen fell silent again, and Xichen took her into his arms and said leisurely: "I know you have been wronged by the Queen Mother today. I see the way you want to cry but don't dare to cry. It really hurts my heart. It's amazing that you have never been like that in the past, and you dare to blast me out directly... There is nothing you can do, after all, she is my biological mother and being the queen is very hard, isn't it? If it was just the two of us, it wouldn't be hard."
When Shen Wen heard what he said, she felt sour in her heart. She didn't want to cry, but tears filled her eyes again and she sniffed: "Being a queen is not hard, but being a virtuous queen is indeed a bit difficult for the two of us. Life? Your Majesty is willing to give up your great country and land to live as a couple of gods and immortals?"
Xichen hugged her hand tightly, but did not answer immediately.
Shen Huan smiled bitterly for a while, looked up at him and said: "Although it is hard work, it is what we have to do. If the standard of a 'virtuous queen' were not there today, would the emperor have been able to convince the queen mother so easily? How could such a great country be so easy to let go? Let go, Huanwan will share weal and woe with the emperor!"
A smile appeared on Xichen's lips. He put his chin against her forehead and rubbed it gently. His tone was very gentle but very firm: "Okay, together with Hanhan, we will share the country and the country!"
For Chu Xichen, the country is his first priority
As for Huan Huan - he also understands that only when there is a country, there will be Huan Huan
