In the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Shuxue both spoke out at the same time. The person standing in the hall was none other than Feng Xuanwu's Xiyue. Seeing her, Hua Shuxue thought of Feng Xuanwu, this woman
But a time bomb is hiding in a corner and is ready to bomb?
Xuanyuan Jin listened to the words of the Crown Prince and Brother Hua Shuxue, and looked at them strangely.
"Brother Huang and Mrs. Huang know this female thief."
Xuanyuan Yue's handsome features were covered with ice, and the cold glow flowed lightly. She nodded slightly, and then ordered Xuanyuan Jin to open Xiyue's acupuncture points.
"Tell me, where is Feng Xuanwu?"
As soon as Xuanyuan Yue finished speaking, Xi Yue suddenly raised her hand and hit her Tianling Gai. However, Xuanyuan Yue had already been prepared for this move, so she stretched out her hand and popped out a Mingwang chess piece, hitting her wrist. She could only hear the sound of
Oh, a cry
, Xiyue's arms dropped down weakly. She stood in the hall, facing the people in the hall with a cold eyebrow, and said word by word: "Kill if you want, don't talk nonsense, I won't
Hand over anyone’s.”
Hua Shuxue looked at this woman. Although she was a subordinate, she had a sense of pride in her body. A person who would rather die would not easily confess to others.
But when Xi Yue emerged from the water, it was obvious that Feng Xuanwu behind it was in Anling City, but where was she hiding? Hua Shuxue thought carefully, and slowly thought of Yu Wenrou in the palace.
On the body, Yu Wenrou could not be Feng Xuanwu in disguise, but it is unlikely if you think about it. Yue sent people to check the Yuwen family in the country of Lan, and there was indeed such a person. Could it be that Feng Xuanwu did this?
Come on, if this is the case, then the woman is indeed smart.
"Xiyue, you disguised yourself as the daughter of the fourth-rank official Dali Temple Qing, but where is the real Yuan Xiangning?"
Xi Yue closed her mouth tightly and did not intend to speak. Hua Shuxue spoke again: "Anyway, you are not even afraid of death. Are you still afraid of saying this?"
Xiyue raised her head and said disdainfully: "She was killed by me."
Originally, they thought it was a seamless plan, gradually attacking the center of Yun Kingdom, and then dismantling them one by one. Who knew that there would be flaws? What kind of bullshit, Prince Huai, because he didn't want to marry Yuan Xiangning, he actually found someone.
Come and be strong
To expose her, she never thought that this was Xuanyuan Jin's plan, so she killed the man with one sword, but she didn't expect that the whole plan was ruined. Now she would rather die than tell anyone else's story. Their lives are
For the people of Yao, death is the soul of Yao.
After Xi Yue finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yue waved her hand to signal to the people in Prince Huai's Mansion to take the woman away, and then looked at Prince Huai Xuanyuan Jin: "You can temporarily detain this person to the Ministry of Punishment, and report to the father tomorrow, and then deal with this matter."
.”
"Yes, Brother Crown Prince."
Xuanyuan Jin stood up and walked out. In the main hall, Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Shuxue were sitting, not moving for a long time. After a while, Hua Shuxue's voice rang out: "What did you say about Yu Wenrou in the palace?
Will it
Who is disguising herself? Xiyue's appearance in Anling City means that Feng Xuanwu is also in Anling City. Since she is in Anling City, there will be no movement at all, so the sudden appearance of Yu Wenrou is really...
Making people suspicious?"
Hua Shuxue's voice sounded, and Xuanyuan Yue responded: "Xue'er is saying that Yu Wenrou was disguised by Feng Xuanwu?"
"I always feel that this Yu Wenrou is not a simple character. You went to the country to investigate earlier. The Yuwen family are obviously two ordinary people. How could their daughter be so scheming? Maybe
The real Yu Wenrou has been poisoned a long time ago, and this person was disguised by one of Feng Xuanwu and others. As for who it is, I don’t know."
After Hua Shuxue finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yue's face turned ugly, and she said solemnly: "It seems I want to give her a try."
"Be careful. Yu Wenrou is very powerful and smart. My father loves her now. I may not believe what you say unless we get enough evidence to prove that she has ulterior motives."
"Well, I understand."
Xuanyuan Yue looked at the sky outside. After the previous commotion, it was almost dawn, but not yet bright. He stretched out his hand and held Hua Shuxue's hand: "Xue'er, go to sleep for a while, I'll go up.
In the morning, I will report this matter to my father."
"Well," Hua Shuxue nodded, and Xuanyuan Yue sent her back to her room to rest. Hua Shuxue remembered another thing and reminded Xuanyuan Yue: "Since Yuan Xiangning is pretending to be Xiyue, will Su He and others
Who is this person pretending to be? You guys should check it out together."
"Okay," Xuanyuan Yue responded and walked out, while Hua Shuxue fell asleep again.
In the morning of the next day, Xuanyuan Yue reported the matter to the court. The whole court was shocked. Yuan Cheng, the minister of Dali Temple, was even more shocked. Even he didn't know that his daughter had been transferred and killed.
The people in the court began to cry.
The emperor ordered the Ministry of Punishment to review the matter.
Xuanyuan Yue did not tell anyone what happened between Xi Yue and Feng Xuanwu. If he did, it would involve a lot. At the moment, he did not want to alarm anyone about the whereabouts of Feng Xuanwu and others, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
trouble.
He just reported that Yuan Xiangning was someone else pretending to be Yuan Xiangning and was not the real Yuan Xiangning at all. Emperor Wenshun was furious and first scolded his son, King Huai Xuanyuan Jin, for his nonsense.
Emperor Shun no longer stared at his son.
The Ministry of Punishment re-examined Xi Yue, and all kinds of severe punishments were meted out, but Xi Yue was not asked to confess anyone.
This person was indeed a tough person, and in the end Xuanyuan Yue ordered the Ministry of Punishment to sentence her to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate.
He did this for two purposes. The first was to see if he could force out Feng Xuanwu and others behind the scenes. As soon as Feng Xuanwu and others appeared, they could catch them all. If Feng Xuanwu and others could not be forced out, he could attack
Xi Yue's heart reminded her that she was about to die and none of her companions came to save her. Under such circumstances, most people would not be able to help their inner vulnerability and reveal their accomplices.
Either outcome is beneficial to them.
Two days later, the Meridian Gate was beheaded in public, and the whole Anling City was in an uproar. It had been a long time since the Ministry of Punishment sentenced a criminal to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate. Most people were sentenced to death at the Punishment Ministry, and then their family members took them back for burial. Like this time at the Meridian Gate,
beheaded in public
There were very few beheaded people, so the people of Anling City gathered around the street. When the prison car came over, everyone exclaimed again that the person who was beheaded turned out to be a young and beautiful woman. Although her hair was disheveled, it was not difficult to see her face.
The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful.
Because of Xi Yue's youth and beauty, many people felt sympathy for him. They kept moaning and crowded, following the prison car all the way to the Meridian Gate.
The Meridian Gate of Anling City was blocked at this time, and the crowds were noisy. Many people were pointing and talking, discussing that this woman actually killed Yuan Xiangning, the most beautiful woman in Anling, and she was disguised as Rongcheng.
Yuan Xiangning wants to marry King Huai Xuanyuan Jin. Is this woman crazy about wanting to marry King Huai? She actually did such a bold thing. It is very heartbreaking to see her so young.
Xuanyuan Yue led many people from the Prince's Mansion to hide among the people. They were distributed in all directions, paying attention to the movements of the crowd to see if anyone looked strange.
, who did not see any unusual behavior, could not help but feel disappointed. Could it be that Feng Xuanwu and others behind Xiyue would not come to the Meridian Gate to rob people, so the only option left for them was the second way.
It is to break Xi Yue's heart and make her reveal the person behind the scenes.
On the stage, the Minister of Justice who presided over the beheading received Xuanyuan Yue's instructions and slowly walked out of the high stage, walked up to Xi Yue, and spoke coldly.
"Miss Xiyue, you still have a chance now. If you reveal the person behind the scenes now, we can let you go."
Xi Yue had suffered a lot of severe punishments before, so her body was extremely weak at the moment. She raised her head and glanced at the Minister of Punishment, shook her head insistently, and then lowered her head.
In front of the Meridian Gate, there was constant noise, and people were rushing to the high platform. The voices were getting louder and louder. The Minister of Punishment tried to persuade Xi Yue on the high platform, but he couldn't speak because the scene was too noisy.
The Minister of Justice stood up with an angry look on his face and ordered the two men behind him: "Beat the drum."
The two men immediately stepped forward, grabbed the drum, and banged it several times. Everyone at the door didn't know what happened this afternoon, and finally became quiet.
The Minister of Rites looked around and said coldly: "If I see any noisy people again, I will arrest them all and kill them."
As soon as these words came out, those who had been making loud noises finally did not dare to make too much noise, but they still squeezed in front of the high platform desperately, as if they were afraid that they would not see the beheading, and even the pressure of the officers and soldiers was useless.
Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, the Minister of Rites quickly looked at Xi Yue and spoke in a deep voice again: "Miss Xi Yue, are you sure you really want to die? Are you protecting those accomplices who did not save you? If you are willing to tell the truth,
The accomplice behind this, we can let you go, but we will never kill you."
After hearing the words of the Minister of Rites, the people around him became more and more curious. They turned around and looked at him. He looked at you, as if he wanted to see who could be the accomplice of the female prisoner on the stage.
However, Xiyue didn't say much. The punishment almost cost her half of her life, so she didn't have the energy to say anything more.
But her actions at this moment, in the eyes of those in the dark, became her thinking and struggle, and she might very well reveal the accomplices behind the scenes.
Suddenly there was a whooshing sound in the mid-air and the sound of arrows piercing the sky. Xuanyuan Yue reacted immediately, her body suddenly expanded and she jumped into the air. She stretched out her hand to catch the arrow that pierced the sky.
Then it shot straight in the previous direction. At this time, around the high platform in front of the Meridian Gate, the onlookers were crowded in all directions like a pot exploding. Because there were too many people, it was impossible to get away, but at this time there were quite a few people.
Arrows were shot one after another, and the people were even more panicked. They pushed and squeezed, some fell, some stepped on them, some screamed, and the scene became a mess.
Xuanyuan Yue jumped over and found that no one was in sight. She was afraid that she had fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so she quickly pulled away and came back. With a wave of her hand, she ordered her men to jump out and go straight to the direction where the archers were hiding. But today's people are too
If there are too many, it will be difficult to trace them.
At this moment, an arrow was shot from the northwest corner and pierced Xiyue's back. Because that place was a blind spot, no one thought that someone would be hiding there, but he succeeded.
It wasn't until Xiyue fell down silently that everyone discovered that she had been shot to death, and the screams at the scene became even louder.
Xuanyuan Yue immediately ordered several of his men to arrest people everywhere and quickly dispersed.
In the crowd, Hua Shuxue, Mo Xie Ruyi and others had long been paying attention to the movements around them. Those arrows shot from the dark were clearly disturbing the scene. What was really powerful was the last arrow, the true identity of the murderer.
The purpose is to kill Xi Yue to prevent her from revealing the person behind the scenes.
Hua Shuxue raised her toes and ran towards the direction where the last sword was shot. Suddenly, a familiar figure caught her eyelids. Hua Shuxue's face instantly became cold, and she used Qinggong to catch up.
Moye, Ruyi and others followed closely behind her to protect her, tracking the people in front of them. The crowd around them became smaller and smaller. They chased for two streets, and suddenly there was no one in front of them.
Hua Shuxue glanced around, and then slowly said: "Nalan, I know you are nearby, so you better come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure flew down from the angled eaves. He slowly turned around and looked over. It was Nalan You. There was a smile on Nalan You's lips, and he was as gentle and elegant as the wind.
"Xue'er."
Hua Shuxue looked at him: "Since you are here, why are you hiding? Are you the one who killed Xiyue today?"
She immediately ran towards the blind spot, and the figure she saw was him, so it was him who shot Xi Yue to death.
But after listening to Hua Shuxue's words, Nalan You shook his head quietly: "Xue'er, I'm here to see if Xuan Wu will show up like you?"
Thinking of Xueer doubting him, he felt very painful and sad.
Hua Shuxue knew that she was suspicious, and Nalanyou felt uncomfortable, but Xi Yue was his, and she had seen him in the blind spot with her own eyes before. If it wasn't him, who could have killed Xi Yue?
.
"The previous sword was shot from the dead corner in the northwest. I kept staring at this position, and then I saw you. How can you convince people that you didn't kill Xiyue?"
"Like you, I saw the shooting position, so I jumped out and rushed out. But because I was closer to the position, I was one step ahead of you. When you used Qinggong to jump up, you saw me.
"
After Nalanyou finished speaking, Hua Shuxue squinted her eyes and stared at Nalanyou opposite. There was a flash of dark light on Nalanyou's handsome features. The reason why he showed up today was because he wanted to see if Xuanwu would do it.
appeared, he was worried that if she appeared, she would definitely fall into Xuanyuan Yue's hands. He also thought that if Xuan Wu was caught, he would not leave it alone. She was also his sister, so she would still walk with him on the road of revenge.
He couldn't leave his sister on the road, but what he didn't expect was that Xuan Wu didn't show up. Not only did she not show up, she also ordered people to kill Xi Yue. This was something he never thought about, Xuan Wu, she
She has changed, she is no longer the Xuan Wu who was passionate about her sisters.
Hua Shuxue's face darkened, but she knew that she had no right to blame Nalanyou. Her and his positions were different. On the contrary, Feng Xuanwu's and his positions were the same.
"Nalan, I want you to give us some more time. We will definitely find out whose idea it was to destroy the Yao Kingdom. If it was not Queen Ruan's idea at all, then if you kill her, you will be enmity with Xuanyuan Yue.
You are also against me, so this is not the ending you want."
After Hua Shuxue said that, she turned around and left. Nalanyou behind him was stunned in pain. At this moment, he felt very resentful in his heart for abandoning his sister in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War of the Ling Kingdom. If he had taken Xue'er with him, she would not have
She would be so indifferent to him.
In the evening, Xuanyuan Yue returned home, and Hua Shuxue asked him if he had caught the murderers of Xi Yue. As long as they caught these people, they might be able to find out the whereabouts of Feng Xuanwu.
However, Xuanyuan Yue's face was a little heavy, so she walked to the table on one side and sat down. Hua Shuxue got up and made tea for him, brought it to his hand, sat down next to him, and looked at him with concern.
"Didn't you catch any of them?"
"Caught, but when those people saw that they were caught, they all bit their tongues and committed suicide. So in the end, nothing was left. Xiyue was also killed. I underestimated Feng Xuanwu. I thought she had some influence on her companions.
Out of compassion, I didn’t expect that she would be so cruel and ruthless, and ordered people to kill Xi Yue.”
Hua Shuxue reached out and held Xuanyuan Yue's hand: "Don't be anxious. Pay attention to the one in the palace right now. I always feel that she is not innocent."
"Well, Xue'er will also be affected."
Xuanyuan Yue looked at Hua Shuxue and relaxed her brows. The two of them got up and went back to the room to take a shower and clean up. It was a tiring day, so go to bed early and check on other people tomorrow.
The next day, news from the palace was sent to the Prince's Mansion.
Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Xue were having breakfast and almost spit out the food in their mouths. Although they didn't spit out, Hua Shuxue was also choked. Ruyi and Mo Xie quickly poured water and offered help.
She beat her back, and when she calmed down, they each took a step back and waited. Both of them looked not very good, and both looked at a guard in front of the door.
Hua Shuxue asked again in disbelief: "Are you sure Concubine Rou is pregnant?"
"Yes, the imperial doctor was summoned last night to diagnose her pulse and confirmed that Concubine Rou was pregnant. My subordinates suspected that it was a lie, so before dawn today, they knocked on the door of the imperial doctor's house and confirmed the matter.
, Concubine Rou is indeed pregnant, and not only that, I heard that the emperor was very happy and rewarded everyone in Tianzhu Palace, the palace where Concubine Rou lives."
The corners of Hua Shuxue's lips curled into a sneer. This woman was really lucky. Within two months of entering the palace, she became pregnant with the royal family's heir. The emperor was naturally happy. How could he not be happy when he got a little dragon at the age of fifty?
Any man would be happy to have this kind of thing on his head.
But this woman is pregnant, and I'm afraid more things will happen next.
Hua Shuxue turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Yue: "You sent people to keep an eye on this concubine in the palace. I don't believe she can't reveal any clues. Even if she is a fox, sooner or later she will reveal her flaws."
Xuanyuan Yue nodded and waved the visitor to retreat. His eyes were quiet, and then he said slowly: "If you have nothing to do today, go into the palace and accompany your mother."
Thinking of the Queen Mother's mood at this moment, she must be in a very bad mood. Although Xuanyuan Yue and Queen Ruan are usually at odds with each other, it must be his mother, and he knows that her mother loves his father.
In the palace, I'm afraid the queen mother will be in a bad mood.
"Okay," Hua Shuxue naturally understood, so she responded: "I will take the three children into the palace to visit the queen later. Although she doesn't like me, she still likes the little ones very much."
When Xuanyuan Yue heard Hua Shuxue's self-deprecating words, she couldn't help but speak softly: "The Queen Mother will definitely change her mind."
One is his mother and the other is his beloved woman. He naturally hopes that they can coexist peacefully.
The two people agreed on the matter, and Xuanyuan Yue went out to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. Recently, he heard someone report that someone in the Ministry of Personnel was secretly buying and selling official positions, so he was starting to investigate the matter. If he really found out that someone among them dared to
He would never let anyone buy or sell official positions.
After Hua Shuxue finished her breakfast, she said something to Bai Yang and Pei You, and went into the palace with the three little ones.
Although the streets today were not as lively as when the prisoner was beheaded yesterday, there were still many people discussing the matter.
Haohao, Chen Chen and Wanwan didn't know much about the beheading that happened yesterday, so they looked out the window and smiled at the lively crowd on the street. Usually there weren't too many people in the Prince's Mansion.
At this time, it was strange to see that there were so many people. The window of the carriage could only accommodate the heads of two people, so the person behind kept shouting: "Let me see, let me see."
Suddenly, Haohao pointed to the crowd and shouted: "Suo Grandpa, Suo Grandpa."
Chen Chen became excited when he heard his cry, grabbed him and asked, "Where is he?"
Hao Hao pointed, and Chen Chen also saw it. The two little guys leaned out and shouted to the street: "Grandpa Suo, Grandpa Suo."
Many people looked here. Ruyi and Mo Xie quickly pulled them away. As soon as the two little guys retracted, they threw themselves on Hua Shuxue: "Mother, it's really Grandpa Suo."
Hua Shuxue listened to the lively voices outside. There must be a lot of people there, so she could recognize Ouyang Suo among so many people, so she just thought that the two little guys had made a mistake, but Chen Chen pulled her back decisively:
"Mom, look at it, look at it,"
Hua Shuxue had no choice but to lift the curtain and look out. Chen Chen pointed out to her, but soon Chen Chen found that Ouyang Suo had disappeared on the street. She couldn't help but be disappointed: "Mother, Grandpa Suo is gone."
The three little guys all missed Ouyang Suo a little, so they were unhappy.
Hua Shuxue put down the curtain and suddenly felt a keen gaze on her. She quickly looked over and saw a person standing in the corner of the street. This person's pupils were deep and staring closely.
She was obsessed with it, but when she saw this look in her eyes, Hua Shuxue felt goosebumps all over her body, and she threw down the curtain fiercely.
When Ruyi and Mo Xie saw their master's expression, they couldn't help but asked with concern: "Master, what happened?"
Hua Shuxue shook her head, but subconsciously reached out to rub her arm. It took her a long time to calm down. The person who was looking at her obsessively on the street was actually Murong Keng, the general of the Yun Kingdom. Murong Keng was about fifty years old.
, that obsessed gaze falling on her body really made her hair stand on end and made her whole body feel uncomfortable.
She knew that this person was obsessed with the Queen of Yao, and she looked 50 or 60% similar to the Queen of Yao, so Murong Keng saw the shadow of the Queen of Yao in her body, but this really made her uncomfortable.
In the carriage, Haohao Chen, Wanwan and others were also in a bad mood. Seeing that the carriage was about to enter the palace, Hua Shuxue quickly persuaded them.
"Be happy when you enter the palace later. Grandma Huang is already in a bad mood, so if you all keep pouting, Grandma Huang will be in a worse mood."
When Haohao heard that Grandma Huang was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but become concerned.
"Why is Grandma Huang in a bad mood?"
"Because she encountered something unhappy, she naturally became unhappy."
"Then what unhappy thing happened to her?"
Wanwan's spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the truth will always exist. Hua Shuxue is a little speechless. How can she tell the children that it is because their grandpa Huang has another child, so Grandma Huang is in a bad mood. Saying such things to the children, they
It was incomprehensible, so she thought for a while and said: "Everyone will be in a bad mood sometimes, so Grandma Huang is not in a good mood today. We came to the palace just to accompany her and make her happy."
"Oh, then we know."
The three little guys finally stopped asking questions, and Hua Shuxue breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes she was really afraid of the three guys' entanglement skills, but it was really a skill that made her surrender obediently.
The carriage entered the palace smoothly and stopped in front of the Chunlan Palace.
Chunlan Palace was quiet. As soon as Hua Shuxue appeared, a eunuch went in to report. Soon, a female officer serving the queen came out, greeted Hua Shuxue, Hao Hao and others, and said respectfully:
"I have met the Crown Princess, His Highness the Grandson, His Highness the Second Highness and the Young Princess. My servant Furong wishes the Queen and their Highnesses good health."
Lady Furong was Empress Ruan's personal attendant, so Hua Shuxue would not embarrass her in the slightest, and stretched out her hand to help her up.
"Excuse me, Ms. Furong. I have nothing to do today, so I brought the three little ones over to visit my mother."
A slight smile appeared on the corners of Fu Rong's lips, and she looked at the three little guys at Hua Shuxue's feet. The light on her face became softer and softer, which made Hua Shuxue admire. This female official did not learn from Empress Ruan's arrogance at all, but she was a good-natured one.
Female officer.
"The Crown Princess is interested. Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet. She didn't sleep until very late last night."
As soon as Ms. Furong opened her mouth, Hua Shuxue knew why Empress Ruan stayed up so late. It must have been something about Concubine Rou that had hurt her. Since she just went to bed, wouldn't they have disturbed her: "
Is your mother okay?"
Furong female officer looked at Hua Shuxue, opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she said nothing, just shook her head, and a group of people walked into the main hall. In the main hall, Empress Ruan had already gotten up, and she was leaning on the soft side.
On the couch, she closed her eyes slightly and rested, although her appearance was still beautiful.
, but her face is a little pale, and there are faint fish-tailed mosquitoes in the corners of her eyes. I still remember that three years ago, she was still energetic and extremely strong. But this time when she returned to Beijing, I found that she seemed to be older, although she was still beautiful.
, but the inadvertent tiredness often shows up.
"My son, I have met my mother."
Hua Shuxue led the three children forward to salute. Ruan Hou opened his eyes with a sad expression, looked at Hua Shuxue and nodded.
Behind Hua Shuxue, Haohao, Chen Chen and Wanwan immediately stepped forward politely and saluted: "Haohao (Chen Chen, Wanwan) has met the Queen, and wishes the Queen well."
As soon as she saw the three little guys, Ruan Hou's sluggishness improved obviously. Her eyes shone brightly, and a smile appeared on her lips. She waved to the three little guys to walk over, and then she pulled one by the hand.
"Why do you think of going to the palace to visit Grandma Huang?"
Haohao glanced at Hua Shuxue, and his mother said that Grandma Huang was in a bad mood, so they couldn't make Sister Huang unhappy, so she immediately smiled sweetly.
"Grandma Huang, we miss you."
Hao Hao was sweet for once, and Chen Chen immediately said like a little sparrow: "Yes, we miss you."
The hall immediately burst into happy laughter. Empress Ruan leaned over and pulled the three little guys forward, kissed each of them, and then lovingly stretched out her hand to touch their heads: "Your grandpa pointed someone into the Prince's Mansion.
, are you able to read and write?"
"Well, not only do we learn to read, but we also practice martial arts?"
Hao Hao spoke proudly, and Ruan Hou nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked up and saw Hua Shuxue still standing in the middle of the hall, and hurriedly said: "Sit down too."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Hua Shuxue slowly walked to one side and sat down. Seeing that Ruan Hou was very happy to see the three little guys, the sadness in her heart seemed to be swept away. Hua Shuxue was still very happy in her heart, although this
Queen Ruan didn't like her, she was not her ideal daughter-in-law, but she must be Yue's mother, so Hua Shuxue didn't want to care about what she had done in the past, and only hoped that she could live in peace with her in the future.
But the character of this woman is really unpredictable. Although she looks as gentle as a harmless little white rabbit at this moment, she might turn into a wild lion and beast at the next moment.
In the main hall, Hua Shuxue quietly watched the grandparents and grandchildren huddled together. She quietly observed Empress Ruan, and realized that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It was precisely because of her thinness that the corners of her eyes showed out.
Crow's feet. If she were fatter, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes would not be visible at all. Not only that, she started to feel tired after talking for a while. Could it be because she was too tired last night?
After Ruan Hou and the children were busy for a while, she ordered a female official to take the three little guys down to eat delicious food, and then take them around the palace to have fun. When the three little guys heard that they were playing
, were naturally happy. They were only four years old. They had long forgotten what their mother had told them to do to make Grandma Huang happy, and walked out together with the female official.
In the main hall, Hua Shuxue knew that Empress Ruan must have something to say to her, so she asked the female officer to take the children away. Thinking of this, she waved her hand to signal Mo Xie and Ruyi behind her to retreat together, and Empress Ruan also
The eunuchs and maids in the palace were ordered to leave, and only two women, Ruan Hou and Hua Shuxue, were left in the palace.
Hua Shuxue looked at Queen Ruan and said calmly: "I don't know what Queen Mother has to tell her son."
Ruan Hou stared at her for a while, and then spoke: "I don't know if mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. When I look at you, I really don't like you. Fortunately, my son, who I have worked hard to cultivate, loves you like a treasure. Even she can
Resist me and target me for your sake."
Ruan Hou's face looked lonely at the end of her speech, and her whole body was shrouded in a lifeless light, like the sun that was about to set.
"Maybe I am a failed woman. Several men in my life have chosen to leave me."
She spoke in a low voice at the end. She didn't know what she was remembering. Hua Shuxue felt that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, but when she thought about it, she suspected that she was wrong. This was the queen who was respected by everyone in the Yun Kingdom. She
How could she have such a sentimental side? So when she took a serious look, she found that she had suddenly given up all her loneliness, her whole body was shining brightly, and she spoke with a smile.
"Look at me, I wonder if it's because I'm older that I've become sentimental. This really isn't the emotion I should have. By the way, I asked you to stay because I have something to discuss with you?"
Hua Shuxue waited quietly. For some reason, she always felt that what Empress Ruan wanted to discuss with her would definitely not be a good thing. This woman would not think of her if she had good things.
"I want you to persuade the prince to accept the legitimate daughter of Prince Ming, one of the six major families, as his concubine."
When Hua Shuxue heard this, smoke started to rise from her head. She knew that this woman must be up to no good as soon as she told her. She stared at Empress Ruan with cold eyes. When she saw Emperor Wenshun doting on other women,
, the heartache is unbearable, why do you still want to embarrass her?
But before Hua Shuxue could say anything, Empress Ruan stretched out her hand to signal her to stay calm.
"Don't get excited. I know that you don't want Yue'er to accept other women as concubines, but right now he doesn't have any power behind him. Other families have their uncle's support, but the Ruan family behind me is simply not powerful.
So Yue'er stands alone
How can he ascend to the throne of the emperor firmly if he is content in the court? If he accepts Princess Ming's woman as his concubine, Prince Ming's Mansion will be the support behind him, and the throne of the emperor will definitely be stable.
In his hands, it will not be used with ulterior motives."
This last sentence naturally meant something. Queen Ruan's words made Hua Shuxue choked and speechless. Yes, as the prince of the East Palace, there is no power behind him to rely on. It is indeed easy for others to touch him.
position, but Yue is not someone else at all. She believes that with his ability, even if he has no power, he can firmly stand on the court and ascend to the position of emperor. How can Yu Wenrou change his position?
No.
Also, if Empress Ruan is not hostile to the people in the Prince's Mansion, can't she help Yue? The heart is connected to the heart, and its sharpness can break the metal. I am afraid that others will not be able to move it. Thinking of this, Hua Shuxue said in a deep voice:
"If the Queen Mother does not always target the Prince's Mansion, but helps the Prince's Mansion, then who else can shake his position."
Queen Ruan slowly raised her lips and looked at Hua Shuxue: "I am getting older, how can I always follow Yue'er."
Hua Shuxue did not agree with her statement and continued: "Mother, don't you understand how heartbreaking it is for a woman to see her husband marry and take concubines, so why do she have to embarrass her sons and ministers again and again?"
After hearing Hua Shuxue's accusation, Empress Ruan naturally thought of Emperor Wenshun. Her face was paler than before. Hua Shuxue was also very intolerable at the moment, but thinking of her repeatedly asking her to persuade Xuanyuan to accept the concubine, she
I was so angry that I just pretended I didn't see him.
At this moment, a eunuch rushed in from outside the palace and quickly reported: "The Queen, Concubine Rou is here."
Ruan Hou's face darkened, his whole body felt cold and gloomy, he pursed his lips tightly, and even clenched his hands subconsciously. His breathing became rapid, but he quickly adjusted his breathing, and his posture straightened involuntarily, as if he was so proud.
The snow stood as tall as a green pine, and he calmly waved his hand to order the eunuch.
"Herald her in."
"Yes, empress."
Hua Shuxue stopped talking, but her face didn't look good either. She looked out of the hall in silence. Soon, a graceful and gentle figure walked in in front of the hall. Behind her were two maids, and the three of them followed.
The golden carpet of the main hall of Chunlan Palace goes all the way inside.
Yu Wenrou's body was full of brilliance and her face was full of spring breeze. It was obvious at a glance that something happy was coming. Her face had a gentle smile that never stopped from the beginning to the end. She walked all the way to Empress Ruan and paid her respects slowly.
"Rou'er has met the Queen."
"Get up, Concubine Rou, please sit down."
Queen Ruan, who was at the head, sat down calmly. This woman clearly had ulterior motives for coming here today, so she wanted to see how she showed off her achievements later.
Yu Wenrou walked aside and sat down, and then said with a smile: "Rou'er has always wanted to come to pay her respects to the Queen, but the Emperor has always disagreed. I hope the Queen will forgive me."
Hua Shuxue looked at this woman coldly, why is she so hypocritical? The emperor refused to let her come before, so why are you here now?
She stared at Yu Wenrou and wanted to see who had disguised her. This woman was very powerful, and she really didn't look like someone who could be raised by ordinary people, so she suspected that she must not be the real Yu Wenrou, but who was she disguised in?
What about Rong? I really couldn’t find a flaw for a while.
Yu Wenrou, who was opposite her, saw that Hua Shuxue had been staring at her, and she couldn't help but be wary, and acted more and more carefully. She knew that Hua Shuxue, who was opposite her, was a very shrewd person, and she must not reveal any flaws, so she smiled softly and spoke.
: "Why does the Crown Princess keep staring at me?"
"I'm just surprised. Concubine Rou said that my father has always disagreed with you coming to Chunlan Palace to pay your respects to your mother, but now my father has agreed."
Yu Wenrou was a little annoyed by Hua Shuxue's pointed question, but she smiled calmly: "Last night, the imperial doctor diagnosed me as pregnant, so the emperor allowed me to take a walk, so I got up early and walked around.
Let's go, who knew that as we walked, we came to the vicinity of Chunlan Palace. Now that we are here, it would be disrespectful to the queen not to come in and say hello, so Rou'er came into the palace."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou, is really interested."
Hua Shuxue protracted her voice, and Yu Wenrou looked at her, her face darkened slightly, and then her eyes turned red: "I don't know why the Crown Princess keeps targeting me. If there is anything wrong with me, the Crown Princess can
Point it out."
Hua Shuxue almost vomited. This woman was so good at pretending that she was really hateful. She had always thought that her father was a good man. Why did she like such a fake fairy woman and get her pregnant? It was really disgusting.
It's unbearable.
At the top of the hall, Empress Ruan glanced at Yu Wenrou and said politely: "Concubine Rou, you have seen this and shown off, can you go back? Remember, if you are pregnant, you can still raise it in Tianzhu Palace with peace of mind.
The baby is the one, don't run around, because when the time comes, you don't know who will be the unlucky one."
As soon as Ruan Hou finished speaking, Concubine Rou's face darkened, her fingernails dug into her flesh, and she cursed these two women bitterly in her heart. None of them were good, she thought in her heart, but her mouth echoed the words.
"What the Queen taught you is that Rou'er will go back now."
Concubine Rou had just walked out, but before she left the main hall, she heard Hou Ruan's sudden voice behind her: "Crown Princess, go back and think about it carefully. I have already decided to let the crown prince accept a concubine."
"What?"
Hua Shuxue thought that Empress Ruan had forgotten this matter, but she didn't expect that she would repeat the same old words again. Not to mention how ugly her face was, she stood up directly and coldly refused: "Empress, please don't make such an idea, I won't
Agreed."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, ignoring Empress Ruan who had a dark look behind her.
Concubine Rou who walked first outside the main hall heard the voices in the main hall and sneered on her lips. She thought the relationship between the two people was very good, but it turned out that it was nothing more than that. It seemed that Empress Ruan didn't like Hua Shuxue.
Such a daughter-in-law is really true. I heard that Xuanyuan Yue loves flowers.
Shuxue was very fond of her, and if Empress Ruan provoked Hua Shuxue, there would be another turmoil between the queen and the prince.
In the Chunlan Palace, Hua Shuxue's face was cold. She stood up abruptly and looked at Empress Ruan who was looking up. Then she was too lazy to pay attention to Empress Ruan who was looking up. Originally, she had always thought that Empress Ruan had some difficulties, although she had always disliked her.
But for the sake of Yue, she still didn’t want to annoy her, and seeing that she liked her three children very much, she
She thought she had accepted her to some extent, but she didn't expect that now she was asked to agree to Xuanyuan accept the daughter of Prince Ming's Palace as the concubine of the Prince's Palace. She never thought that Xuanyuan would accept another woman as his concubine. If
If this was the case, she could imagine that one day she would end up depressed.
Therefore, although she knew that the women from Prince Yuenaming's palace were concubines and were beneficial to his country, she could not generously let him marry another woman, so she could only go against Empress Ruan's wishes.
Even if she hated her even more because of this, there was nothing she could do. Thinking of Hua Shuxue, she stood up and gave a slow salute.
