25. What does the Black Moon say?

How did

the black moon leave

? The old friend sighed: The white moonlight of the

emperor, who did not ask about the end of the song, came back.

As soon as I knew this, I invited myself to be the imperial concubine and set aside a piece of land for the emperor’s deep affection.

Unexpectedly, he said that no one could shake my position as queen.

Unfortunately, his white moonlight did not think so.

Yunruo is back. When the

news reached my ears, I was getting up in the morning to freshen up. Before I could react, Ziluo shook her hand and dropped the gold hairpin on the ground.

She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: “The maidservant should die!”

I waved my hand and said, “Get up!”! You are also an old man who has been with this palace for so long. When have you ever made such a mistake? My palace will not punish you. Only then

did Ziluo get up, and her expression hesitated to speak. I knew what she wanted to say, and shook my head gently, only to let her order breakfast. As soon as

I finished my breakfast, Wang Fu, who was beside the emperor, came.

“Empress, the emperor is waiting for you in the Hongfu Hall.” What the

master does to people, the dog around him does to people.

I do not care about these, nodded, with Ziluo walked to the Hongfu Hall.

I haven’t seen Ni Yun for more than a month, and he still looks light to me as always, and his words are not congenial.

“Empress, Dafan has been defeated. I have sent someone to bring Yunruo back.”

Congratulations to the emperor. I wonder how the emperor is going to settle Yunruo’s sister? There are still a few empty palaces in the harem, and in my opinion, the Zhong Ling Hall is the closest to the emperor’s bedroom, so it’s not as good as..

Pow!

Ni Yun actually threw the brush away. His face was cold, and he asked, “If Yun came back, wouldn’t you be sad?” With just the right smile,

I replied, “Your Majesty, are you confused?”? Yun Ruo-ben is my sister, and I’m not too happy that my sister can return to the Southern Dynasty from that barren land.

Ni Yun sneered twice and said, “It’s the first time I know that my queen is so generous. I’d like to see how you deal with Yun Ruo.”

I showed no sign of weakness, as if nothing could affect my bearing as a queen.

I straightened my back and simply knelt down, saying, “Your Majesty, I know that Yunruo’s sister and the emperor are as affectionate as the sea, and I don’t want to let the lovers fall apart in the middle.”. I asked my concubine to be my concubine, and I honored Yunruo’s younger sister to be my queen.

Ni Yun didn’t expect me to say that. She was stunned. When she came to her senses, she was furious. She rushed up to me and asked, “What did you say?”? Say that again?

I raised my head and looked straight into his angry eyes, with the corners of my mouth still curved, and replied, “I would like to invite myself to be my concubine, and honor my sister Yunruo as my queen.”

Seeing that my eyes were firm, Ni Yun raised his hand and stopped in midair. His expression changed. Finally, he turned around in a mess and said in a cold tone, “If Yun Ruo, after all, had been married, rashly let her ascend the throne, she would surely be criticized by the former court.”. I will make her an imperial concubine and assistant to the six palaces. After all, you are the only one who is suitable for this position at the moment, aren’t you?

I was silent for a moment, bowed my head, and got up to retire. When

I returned to the Palace of Earthly Honor, Ziluo looked at my expression and asked cautiously, “Empress, are you going to summon Concubine Yun?”

I shook my head and told her to just close the door and sweep the snow in front of the door.

Who knows, if I don’t look for trouble, trouble will come to me. Three days after

Ni Yun decreed that Yun Ruo should be the imperial concubine, she came to visit her in a big way. Not seen for

eight years, the snowstorm of Dafan left no trace on her face, and her smile was as bright and moving as ever.

“Sister!” She took my hand kindly, looked around the palace, and frowned. “Why do these slaves treat you so harshly?”? There are only a few ornaments, and even the tea we drink is the tribute of last year. If you ask me, your temper is just too good!

I smiled, patted her hand, and asked, “Is my sister used to being in the palace these days?”? What else is missing?

Yunruo seemed to think of something and blushed as if she were a little daughter. “Everything is fine, but Sanlang also asked me to help my sister manage the six palaces.”. I’ve heard that your sister is in poor health and has worked too hard. This time your sister can help you.

I picked up my teacup and saw Yun Ruo’s proud eyes through the dense mist. “Sister, I haven’t seen you for eight years. Only you seem to have not changed.”

Yunruo’s face stiffened, and she quickly returned to her normal state. “My sister is joking,” she said. “The night in Dafan is very cold. My sister stayed there for eight years and wanted to go back to the Southern Dynasty every day. If it hadn’t been for the emperor’s love for you in those days, I’m afraid your elder sister wouldn’t be as good as your younger sister.

“Concubine Yun, be careful what you say!” Ziluo couldn’t help scolding.

Yun Ruo gave her a slap in the face, and at this moment she tore off her gentle mask and showed her fangs.

“Sister.”

She giggled, her eyes full of resentment. “Do you know how I spent these eight years?”? When I was lonely and humiliated in Dafan, you were favored as a princess in the Southern Dynasty. I married Lao Tzu and my son in Dafan, and you became the queen after Sanlang’s rebellion! You not only took my freedom, you took my Saburo! I remind myself all the time that I must return to the Southern Dynasties alive!

“It’s okay, I’m back.” Yun Ruo stroked the lid of the tea with a gentle expression. “Sister, I will bring back everything that belongs to me.”

Pow.

The teacup broke all over the floor.

I was silent for a moment, then raised my eyelids to look at her. “It’s better for Concubine Yun to call herself a concubine in front of my palace. After all, you’re a concubine, and my palace is a queen.”

Yun Ruo, not angry, laughed and said, “Empress, I’ll see how long you can hold on to your position.”

I did not answer again and motioned to Ziluo to see the guest off. If

the cloud sees the goal to achieve, also no longer pesters, and left in a big way.

The next day, the queen mother sent someone to invite me to lunch. On the way

to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, you have to go through the Imperial Garden. In the golden autumn, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the Imperial Garden are well cared for, with golden branches swaying in clusters.

Seeing that I was in a trance, Ziluo said tentatively, “Empress, would you like the maidservant to send someone to pick some?”

I shook my head and said, “No, you can’t keep the branches alive even if you pick them. If you let them grow freely, the fragrance will be refreshing.”

The queen mother seldom took the initiative to summon me, and even to pay her respects was to avoid it. In the past, when she was a general’s wife, she always had a gentle smile and a friendly face when she came to the palace. Now do the queen mother, but a lot of old, solemn a lot.

She picked up a few dishes for me with her own hands. I wanted to get up to thank her, but then she pressed me down, so I had to relax. “The Empress Dowager has a kind heart. She can tolerate the idleness of the slaves around her, but she let you arrange the dishes yourself.”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand helplessly. “Empress, you know what the Ai family has been doing for many years. This kind of small thing is really uncomfortable for the Ai family. It’s different for you.” As soon as

the chatterbox was opened, the queen mother had to say what she meant today, so I sat quietly and listened.

In those days, you were a princess. Today, you are the queen. You were born in the palace, and you have been in the palace all your life. You must have seen much more than I have in the harem of the former Dynasty. If you want to live well in the palace, you must rely on power to breathe. Ai family in order to protect your life, strive for princes, let you do the queen, the emperor must not like, but you two are also childhood sweethearts, although there are family and national enmity, but in the current situation, you should think for yourself. What’s more, you have a place in the emperor’s heart.

The Empress Dowager took me by the hand and went on to say, “The Ai family knows that the emperor has brought Yun Ruo back and given her the title of imperial concubine. This has chilled your heart.”. But you must also plan well to win the heart of the emperor, and not let anyone plot against the position of the queen.

I answered with a smile. It was already evening when

I came out of the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. Ziluo was thinking of the queen mother’s words and sighed with emotion: “The queen mother is really thinking of the empress.”

Is it? Whether she is for me or for the stability of the Ni family, only those who are trapped in it do not know. “Don’t think too simply, and don’t say too much to others,”

I said to Ziluo.

On the way back, after Imperial Garden, the clusters of sweet-scented osmanthus seen in the morning were only bare branches, and several palace people were sweeping the fallen flowers and leaves under the trees. In the pavilion not far away, a beaded imperial concubine was leisurely tasting tea, but her eyes turned to this side.

“Empress,” Yunruo said, “would you like to have a cup of tea with me?”

I looked at a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus beside her and sat down beside her.

“After only a few days in the palace, the imperial concubine Yun had eyes and ears, and had good means.”

Yunruo smiled happily as if he really enjoyed my praise. “Sanlang used to say that I have a simple temper, and I don’t know the pain until I hit the south wall. The empress doesn’t understand. It’s not a good thing to spend eight years growing up.”

She pushed the sweet-scented osmanthus in front of me and said, “I just heard that my sister loves sweet-scented osmanthus. Maybe I made a mistake. I thought my sister liked plum blossoms.”. Come to think of it, I have changed, how can my sister not change? So I picked these sweet-scented osmanthus flowers with my own hands and presented them to my sister.

“I’m sorry to bother the imperial concubine Yun.”

I motioned to Ziluo to take it, got up to leave, and was pulled by Yunruo. Just then

, the maidservant beside her suddenly stepped forward and bumped into the purple radish, only to hear a bang, the porcelain cup was broken, and the sweet-scented osmanthus was scattered on the ground.

“Empress.” Yun Ruo’s beautiful eyes suddenly turned into tears, and she made a weak look. “In order to pick the cluster with the best branches, I accidentally stepped on the air and fell down, and my hand was scratched.”. Even if you don’t like it, after all, the sweet-scented osmanthus was picked by my concubine, and you can’t allow the slaves around you to smash it. I watched her performance coldly

when I saw her holding out her injured hand. Sure enough, Ni Yun came slowly from the corner in the next moment.

“What’s going on?” He asked, frowning.

Yunruo smiled at me proudly, turned to meet me pitifully, and stretched out his hand to show him, “Sanlang, I accidentally hurt myself picking flowers for my sister. Should you make up for it?”

Ni Yun looked at me and asked, “Did you ask Yun’er to pick flowers for you?”

I shook my head and said, “It’s my sister’s own wish. How dare I spoil her interest?”? Now that you’re all in the palace, who doesn’t know that the emperor treats his sister like a treasure?

Perhaps the last sentence had a sour taste. He softened his tone a little and continued to ask, “In that case, why did you allow someone to smash the porcelain cup?”

Ziluo quickly knelt down and replied, “Your Majesty has seen clearly that it was Ning Yu, who was beside the imperial concubine, who did not stand firm and pushed the maidservant. That’s why the maidservant accidentally smashed the porcelain cup. I hope the imperial concubine will forgive me.”

Yun Ruo shook Ni Yun’s hand. “Sanlang, it seems that I misunderstood my sister.”. It’s just a pity that this cup of sweet-scented osmanthus has been picked by my concubine for a long time.

Ni Yun’s eyes reveal tenderness. “Let the minions do this kind of thing later. You’ve been through so much wandering, and when you finally come back, you can relax.”

Yun Ruo answered softly, holding him in his arms and trying to go to the Hall of the Bell Spirit, but he turned around and looked at me and said, “Queen, I’m going to your palace tonight.”

Yun Ruo wanted to give me some eyedrops, but did not expect to help me, full of tenderness in the eyes of hatred, hiding behind Ni Yun looked at me coldly.

I answered lightly and watched them walk away. When

it was dark, Wang Fu came, and this time his attitude was much more friendly than last time.

Ziluo responded respectfully in the outer room, and her voice came intermittently to the inside. Grand

father Wang, the empress has been worrying too much these days, and her body is weak. The Imperial Physician has also come to see her and prescribed some medicine, saying that it is normal to have some disorders in your life, and that you can take some time to recuperate. Who would have thought that it was so unfortunate that he should come at this moment..

“This..” Wang Fu said in all earnestness, “Ziluo, you usually give more advice. Compared to the princes and nobles of the great vassals, the empress is already much luckier.”

“Thank you, Grandfather Wang, for what you have said from the bottom of your heart. The maidservant will.”

After seeing Wang Fu off, Ziluo came in with the medicine. Seeing that I didn’t even frown, she drank it and said worriedly, “Empress, if you drink too much of this medicine, it will hurt your health, especially for your children..”

I laughed at myself. “Do you think I would pin my hopes on an heir?”

Ziluo bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, “The maidservant knows what the empress has to worry about. Over the past few years, the empress has been indifferent to the affairs of the palace and has kept the emperor away.”. If things go on like this, the Empress will have no children, and in the future she will be bullied and humiliated by Concubine Yun.

Looking out of the window at the dark sky, I thought, “Ziluo, if it were you, you wouldn’t want to give birth to the child of the man who killed your father.” After a moment’s

silence, Ziluo suddenly said, “Empress, haven’t you ever thought about taking back the land of the Yun clan?”

I looked at Ziluo in astonishment. Her eyes were filled with heartache, and she continued with absolute sincerity, “The maidservant saw the change of imperial power in the palace, and also saw the empress turn from the princess of the former Dynasty to the empress of the new Dynasty.”. The maidservant’s loyalty and life belong to the empress. I don’t want to see the empress unhappy. As long as you have a decision, the maidservant is willing to go through life and death for you. I

didn’t expect Ziluo to have such a great ambition. I bent down to help her up, and with tears in my eyes, I said, “Ziluo, you’re a good girl. You shouldn’t spend your whole life in the palace.”

The night wind blew into the room, with a trace of coolness, which made people feel desolate.

I touched the jade bracelet between my wrists, and the sadness in my heart became stronger and stronger. What’s the point of

fighting for it? Ni Yun doesn’t want to let me out of the palace. I just want to live in peace.

Ziluo knew my intention and didn’t say any more. Seeing that the night was cool, she served me to sleep.

It’s just that my emotions were surging at that time, and now I can’t calm down. I tossed and turned in bed, and the memories in my mind were like boiling water, which could not stop churning out.

Before I knew it, I stroked the jade bracelet on my wrist again, and the warm touch brushed my heart little by little. Only in the quiet night did I dare to recall the past and remind myself not to forget it. Rainy in the

mountains, the weather in June is also changeable.

The girl walked slowly forward with an umbrella, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground with a shrill scream. The young man jumped down from the

tree and ran nervously over to ask, “Where are you hurt?”

Seeing that his concern did not seem false, the girl’s bright eyes were suddenly filled with a smile, but her tone was aggrieved. “I sprained my ankle.”

The young man looked at her and asked, “Can princess still walk?” With a bitter look on her face, the

girl replied, “It hurts so much, my foot must be broken!”

Seeing no one around, the young man was relieved. He bent down to pick up the girl and said, “Forgive me, Princess. I’ll put you down when I see a slave.”

The girl cried out, hiding in his arms and laughing proudly.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, several maidservants gathered around and helped the girl into the sedan chair in a hurry. As she

left, the girl lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked, “Ah Yan, how would you like to go back to the Yingri Hall with me?”

The young man refused, saying, “The slave is the emperor’s man. He is only responsible for protecting the princess temporarily. He dares not leave his post without permission the rest of the time.”

Three days later, the girl met her head when she was alone in the palace.

Half a month later, the girl fell into the water while feeding fish alone in Taiye Lake.

A month later, the girl injured her hand while playing alone in the Imperial Garden.

Looking at the young man with a helpless expression, the girl smiled brightly and said, “Now you are mine.” The whirlpool of

memories swept the young man’s face into darkness and spit out a serious face.

“What did you say?” Dressed in a dragon robe, the man was furious. “As a princess, you enjoy the worship of all the people. You don’t think about all the people. You only care about your own enjoyment. Is that what the queen taught you?” With tears on her face, the

girl pleaded, “Father, please.” Disappointed,

the man said, “Baoan, you are the only princess in the harem. Everyone has spoiled you so much that you forget yourself.”. Go back to the Yingri Temple. The marriage has been decided. It’s not that you don’t want to get married, so you don’t have to.

“Father!”

I suddenly opened my eyes, the sound of heavy breathing was particularly clear in the darkness, and the sound of painful pleading seemed to linger in my ears.

“Would the empress like a glass of water?” Ziluo’s sleep was always shallow, so she got up from the couch and helped me up. The

cool tea brought me back to reality from the lingering charm of my dream, and now I have no sleep at all.

I put on my coat and saw the moonlight in the courtyard, so I asked Ziluo to accompany me for a walk. In the

cool breeze, I looked at the high palace wall and sighed, “Ziluo, do you think I can escape from here in my life?”

Ziluo pursed her lips and said, “Empress, if you don’t think of something happy, you will be relieved. The maidservant is really worried about your body.”

Happy things? My mind drifts away, like a sweet dream.

“I don’t know when I can go to Yurong Temple.” I felt between my wrists. “No, I’m afraid it’s useless.”

Ziluo sighed and held me tightly. “Do you need a maidservant to take the place of the empress?” She asked.

I shook my head. “No, since there’s no one to deliver the letter, I think he should be living a good life. There’s no need to bother him any more.”

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps approaching. Ziluo and I were startled. We turned around and saw that it was a little eunuch keeping vigil.

“So it’s the Empress and Sister Ziluo.” The little eunuch bowed and scraped. “The slave thought he was a thief, and he was scared.” “Shut up if you can’t speak!

” Ziluo scolded.

I waved my hand and let him go down. Tiredness came over me, and I was not in the mood to continue talking with Ziluo, so I went back to my room.

Perhaps Ni Yun has not come to me, Yun Ruoan for a period of time, well-behaved to pay his respects, also do not say much, only every night by Ni Yun to stay overnight, Ni Yun dotes on her very much. The two of

them were not in front of my eyes, and I went to the queen mother from time to time to accompany her to worship the Buddha, and I was at ease.

I thought I could live in such a dull way, but I underestimated Yunruo’s hatred.

She had been in the palace for more than a month. It was a sunny day and a warm breeze. I was sitting in the courtyard, watching the palace attendants play with the golden chrysanthemums in full bloom. Ziluo leaned close to my ear and said, “Concubine Yun wants to see the empress.”

I was surprised, but quietly let someone welcome her in.

Yun Ruo was pampered for a period of time, and his appearance became more colorful. Her head is full of pearls and hairpins, and she is luxurious and elegant. She is worthy of the word “favorite imperial concubine”, and her scenery is unique.

On the contrary, I am a queen with a light appearance and no solemn atmosphere.

“Sister,” Yunruo smiled brightly and went straight to the point. “I have something to say to you.”

“What is it?”

I don’t think she’s going to do it again and tell everyone else to stand down.

Yunruo opened his palm and revealed a faded earring. Startled,

I tried to hide my confusion and asked, “What is the imperial concubine doing with an old earring?”

“Don’t you know my sister?” Smiling, she grabbed my hand and put the earring in the palm of my hand. “I look at you. My sister seemed to have worn this earring when she was a princess.”. A while ago, Ning Yu went out of the palace to visit Laozi Niang, and unexpectedly saw a disabled man carrying this thing in the Yurong Temple. Concubine body thinks, did this man steal the thing of elder sister? My concubine sent someone to bring him in secretly so that his sister could identify him.

My fingers trembled, my fists clenched, my sharp nails pierced my flesh, and the pain calmed me down a little.

You brought him into the palace? Where is he?

When Yunruo saw me admit it, he said proudly, “I’m thirsty. Can you give me some tea?”

I had to order someone to make some tea, and she slowly poured it out and sipped a few mouthfuls. Then she said, “I can’t imagine that the queen of the court is still playing the trick of hiding a concubine in a golden house. I don’t know what the emperor and his officials will think.”

“I won’t argue with you. You let him go.”

As if hearing a terrible joke, she looked at me in surprise and amusement. “Isn’t my sister confused?”? Now, I still need to fight? Worry about yourself!

She seemed to have something to say, and I smelled something unusual. “What do you mean?” I asked.

Yunruo did not answer again and looked at me with a half-smile, until her expression suddenly became painful, and the air was gradually filled with a smell of blood.

“You..” I was shocked.

She was obviously in pain, but she still smiled triumphantly and said, “Yun Yiyao, I want to see you with my own eyes. Life is worse than death.”

“Empress!”

Come on, someone! Hurry up and announce the Imperial Physician!

Looking at the blood flowing out of Yunruo’s body, my mind was in a mess, and my whole body seemed to fall into the abyss, as if I had returned to the night of six years ago, screaming, crying, swords and blood, all of them came to my eyes.

“Empress!” Ziluo exclaimed.

I finally stumbled and fell to the ground.

Yunruo had a miscarriage.

The Imperial Physician found that safflower was added to the tea she drank, because the dosage of safflower was so large that the Imperial Physician could not save her fetus at all.

At that time, in full view of the public, Yunruo really drank my tea to miscarry.

While I was unable to defend myself, the little maid who served the tea hanged herself to avoid punishment.

Ni Yun looked at me sullenly. “What else does the queen want to say?”

“It wasn’t my concubine who did it. The imperial concubine Yun was pregnant, and the former court didn’t know about it. Where did my concubine learn about it and deliberately hurt her?”

“Saburo..” Fragmentary calls came from the bed, “Saburo!”

Ni Yun walked to the bed and sat down, holding Yun Ruo’s hand. Her

face was pale and her tears were like beans. She wailed, “Sanlang, I didn’t know I was pregnant until three days ago. I wanted to stabilize the fetus first and then tell you and your sister, but who knows..”

“Sister!” She turned to me and wept, “I just picked up your old earring and asked a few questions. Do you hold a grudge and want to hurt me like this?”

“Earrings?” Ni Yun wonders, “What earrings?”

At this moment, Ning Yu wept and knelt down. “Your Majesty, the maidservant left the palace to go home to visit relatives. When she went to the Yurong Temple to burn incense, she met a man and dropped an earring from his body.”. This was not an unusual thing, but when the maidservant picked it up and tried to return it, she found that the earring was actually made in the palace, with the character Yao carved on it. The maidservant knew that this was a strange thing, and took the earring back to the empress.

“The empress grew up with the empress, and at a glance she knew it was the empress’s personal property, so she brought it back to her today. Somehow, she said it was all right, and suddenly the empress was bleeding..”

Man, private property, these two words are enough to make Ni Yun lose his mind. In the context of Yunruo’s abortion, I have lost the qualification to explain.

Besides, it’s useless for me to explain.

The big palm was raised high and broke through the air, hitting me in the face with a clear sound. I lay on the ground in a mess, looking at Ni Yun’s fierce eyes like a wolf, and my heart was cold.

Ziluo cried and helped me up. I knelt down on my numbed cheek and said, “I have been wronged.”

Wang Fu picked up the earring that fell from my body and showed it to Ni Yun.

“Is this still wrong?” Ni Yun threw down the earring and stepped on it.

I closed my eyes, knowing that if the cloud had made a perfect plan, it would not give me a chance to breathe at all.

I bent down and touched the ground on my forehead. “Your Majesty, I don’t recognize what I haven’t done.”. But in the position of empress, I thought I had no talent and no virtue, so I asked the emperor to choose another wise and beautiful woman with noble life experience.

“Ha ha!” Ni Yun was very angry and laughed back. “You are really my good queen!”! I do as you wish! Wang Fu!

Wang Fu was so frightened that he hurried forward and hesitated to speak. “Your Majesty, think twice.”

Ni Yun ignored him and shouted to the palace people to drag me down and ground me. No one was allowed to enter or leave the palace.

Abolished after the decree was not promulgated after all, because the queen mother heard the wind, hurriedly sent someone to dissuade. I can’t know the

rest. I never thought that Yunruo would be cruel enough to retaliate against me with his own children.

Now, she has won. Sitting in front of the bed in the silence of the palace,

I suddenly remembered that she said that life was worse than death, and I couldn’t help trembling.

Ziluo! Ziluo!

Ziluo answered. I hadn’t seen me so frightened for a long time. “Empress!”! Concubine! The maidservant is here.

I held her hand and looked at her earnestly. “Ziluo, help me.”

“Empress, just say it.”

“Yun Ruo grabbed Ah Yan into the palace. I clutched my chest tightly, tears falling down one by one. I tried to lower my voice.” I don’t know what Yun Ruo will do to him yet. Go and look for him. Be sure to help the palace find him. ”

I clutched my chest and burst into tears.

I know this request is very difficult, but now there is no way, if Ni Yun knows, I can not imagine what the consequences will be. “Don’t worry, Empress. I’ll find him,

” Ziluo reassured me.

I don’t know what Ziluo thought, and I don’t know how long I waited. Day and night alternated, and the door of the palace was always closed until one day there was thunder and torrential rain.

“Empress!”

Ziluo broke in, her clothes were wet, and she knelt down in front of me, not knowing whether it was tears or rain on her face. For no reason,

my heart was in a panic. I bent down to help her. “What’s wrong?”? Why are you like this?

“Empress..” She cried, “The maidservant found Ah Yan, but he..”

The chill spread from the back of my head to my back, and I felt weak under my feet. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked? What happened to him?!

He had regained his memory, and in order not to drag down the empress, he committed suicide by taking poison! Empress, when the maidservant found him, he was only breathing his last breath!

As if I had been drained of all my strength, I collapsed on the ground for a moment, like a dying fish, breathing with my mouth wide open.

After a brief gasp, I got up cold and murmured, “I’m going to find him, I’m going to find him..”

Ziluo tugged at my arm tightly. “No, Empress, Ah Yan chose to cut herself for you. You can’t go!”

I struggled, “Let me see him for the last time, see him for the last time!”! I’m already like this, so what’s there to be afraid of? The sound of

the rain, I cried out of shape, pushed Ziluo away and rushed out of the door. The raindrops as big as

beans hit me, and the cold knife stopped me. The guard at the

gate said in a cold voice, “The emperor has decreed that the empress is not allowed to go out. She’d better go back.”

“Get out of the way!” The light of the

knife refracted in front of me, and I was not afraid to hit the knife straight.

The guards were so frightened that they retreated and took their knives away. I took advantage of the gap and ran out of the palace. In the

cold night, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the rain beat my body mercilessly, and my heart was filled with a biting chill.

I walked aimlessly in the abandoned palace looking for Ah Yan until Ziluo caught up with me and took me to the most remote palace. In the

dark and damp room, a thin figure lay quietly on the ground, and for a moment, my heart seemed to be severely ravaged into a ball, so painful that I could not breathe.

“Ah Yan..” I called to him in a trembling voice. “What are you doing lying on the ground?”

I took three steps and two steps to rush over, kneeling in front of him carelessly, and my knees hit the ground hard without feeling any pain.

“You get up.” When I touched his scarred face, I felt cold, so I took his head and put it in my arms.

I haven’t seen you for a long time. How can you not look at me?! How could

you leave me alone?!

“Wake up, wake up!”

I kept shaking him, and only tears were hot all over my body, until I had no strength and sat quietly on the ground with him in my arms.

“Empress..” Ziluo came forward in tears and spread out her hand. “It just fell out of Ah Yan’s hand.” In the palm of

her hand was another earring. I

couldn’t help crying. I grabbed the earring and put it on my chest. There was a white light in front of my eyes until I sank into the boundless darkness.

A paper kite appeared in front of the sullen girl and made her eyes light up.

“Where did it come from?” “Did you do that?” She exulted.

The young man smiled and nodded.

“Can princess try to fly?”

The girl smiled and pulled the kite to run fast. The spring breeze was light and gentle. In a short time, the kite floated to the sky.

The kite painted with swallows was getting farther and farther away. The girl retreated and released the line. Suddenly, the wind became strong and blew a few times. The kite was out of control and finally entangled in a big tree.

She stopped the young man who was about to fly up, his eyes shining. “I’ll go and get it myself.” Then, despite the young man’s obstruction,

she lifted her heavy skirt and climbed up the tree trunk. Although

the young girl is petite, she is more agile. She climbed up the strong branch and easily got the paper kite.

“Ah Yan, do you think I’m tough?” Before the

young man could praise her, she slipped and fell lightly.

It was said to be light, but in fact it was the young man with quick eyes and quick hands who flew forward to catch her, and they landed smoothly. The

young man’s body temperature spread all the way through the clothes to the girl’s heart, she secretly blushed, in the moment of standing firm hurriedly broke free, waving the kite to run away.

Who would have thought that her side was the trunk, the slender wrist hit the trunk, but was not hurt, but the bracelet between the wrist was smashed, crystal fragments scattered on the ground.

‘Yah! The bracelet my mother left me! The girl was distressed to squat down to pick it up.

She held the fragmentary relics, perhaps recalling the short time between mother and daughter, and the girl’s eyes gradually filled with tears.

The young man was a little flustered, and the words of comfort were very rusty.

“I’m sorry, I’ve broken the memory left for you by Empress Shu-fei.”

The girl wiped away her tears, looked at his worried face, and threw herself uncontrollably into his arms and cried.

The young man was even more at a loss.

Until that night, he stood at a loss in front of the girl, holding a brocade box and presenting it to her.

“Princess, I’ll give you a bracelet. It’s not as good as Princess Shu-fei’s, but it’s the best one I can pick out.”

Opening the brocade box, the watery jade bracelet shone warmly in the candlelight. The girl stroked the jade bracelet and handed it back to him.

“Put it on me.” Dazed, the

young man picked up the jade bracelet and gently grabbed her hand and put it on her. The room was dark, but the girl clearly saw his red ears and laughed.

Many years later, the girl learned that the jade bracelet was also left to him by the young man’s mother, and that it was the first time in his life that he had given a woman a gift.

At that time, she only knew the feelings of young people, two people eat, drink and play together every day, let her know that the life in the palace can be so beautiful.

It was not until Dafan came to marry the princess that he exchanged marriage for peace.

The girl cried and dieted, but she could not shake the emperor’s determination. The

handsome young man watched the young girl day and night, and also lost weight day and night.

Every time the girl was exhausted, he appeared from the dark. Every time the girl saw him, she would throw herself into his arms and sob with heartbreak.

“Ah Yan, you take me away, you take me away!”

The young man was silent, his eyes flashed with broken awn, and after the girl pleaded again and again, he finally could not help holding her tightly in his arms.

That night, the girl did not sleep a wink, nervously and excitedly fantasizing about life outside the palace-she would be free, happy, with young people..

But she underestimated the garrison of the palace, and he overestimated his ability. The

majestic emperor looked at the two of them coldly, and when faced with the knife that was about to fall, the girl screamed, “Father!”! Marry me! Marry me! Bao’an, please don’t hurt him!

The young man dragged his broken leg to climb towards her, but was kicked to the ground again and again by his former colleagues.

Perhaps in order to make the girl completely obedient, or perhaps the young man as a qualified dark guard, there is no new blood to replace him, in short, the emperor did not execute the young man, he survived.

However, the dark guard and the noble princess who was about to be married could never meet again. The girl

with a dead heart thought so, but she didn’t expect things to turn around so soon.

Just when she was disheartened to get married, the person who married her suddenly changed to Princess Hongan, her cousin. As if reborn after the disaster,

she went to find him at the first time, but the young man was hidden by the emperor and disappeared.

The emperor had no way to take her, let her make trouble, but did not let go.

Girls are not discouraged, one month can not find three months, three months can not find half a year, a year.

Until the general’s son rebelled.

It was nothing more than a struggle for power and profit. The emperor forced the sainted general to die in battle for the sake of military power. After a few years of keeping a low profile, his son rebelled and took revenge with his confidant.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As a down-and-out royal family,

the girl will be captured. While hiding in the palace, she finally saw the person she was thinking about again.

The young man dragged his wounded leg and tried his best to resist the enemy soldiers for her, even with one enemy, even if he was beaten out of shape by the enemy soldiers, even if he was teased and insulted by the enemy soldiers, even if Qingjun’s face was marked with blood by the enemy soldiers. His eyes were still firm, and he protected the girl behind him.

Unfortunately, the girl was caught by the enemy soldiers after all. Fortunately,

she did not die, the new emperor in order to stabilize the regime, appease the old minister, or perhaps miss the love of youth acquaintance, she was made queen.

This time, she knew it was useless to resist. There is no one in the world who will indulge her to cry wantonly.

One day, she heard people in the palace chatting. In the abandoned corner room of the Hall of Reflection of the Sun, there was a man with a broken leg whose appearance had been completely destroyed.

He’s still alive! The girl suppressed the excitement in her heart and went to see him secretly after nightfall.

The sight cut her heart like a knife. The

former high-spirited and handsome young man is now unkempt, with scars all over his face, limping and hunched.

The most important thing was that he couldn’t remember anything. He hid from everyone he saw, but when he saw her, he began to cry sadly, reached out his hand to pull her, and mumbled in a slurred voice, “Go, go..”

She was in tears and her heart was in pieces. When

the young man saw her crying, he bent down to wipe her tears, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

Don’t cry.. Don’t cry.. I’m in pain..

Fearing that the new emperor would find him and that he would not survive in the palace, she asked the old people in the palace to smuggle him out of the palace and place him in a temple not far from the palace.

From then on, there was no princess of the old Dynasty, only the queen of the new Dynasty.

She did not fight, not sad, not happy, looking at the palace wall every day, watching the birds passing by, closing her eyes and opening her eyes, getting through day after day. When

I woke up, the room was full of people.

Ziluo called softly, “Empress, you are awake.”

Ni Yun stood looking at me with an expressionless face, kneeling in front of the bed with a doctor, crawling on the ground.

Your Majesty, although the pulse of the empress is weak.. Indeed, it has been more than three months.

What more than three months? I looked at Ziluo doubtfully. “Empress,”

said Ziluo with mixed feelings of grief and joy, “you are three months pregnant.”

Three months pregnant.. I trembled and touched my lower abdomen, and tears fell on the pillow.

“Queen, why did you break out of the palace against my will?” Ni Yun’s voice could not hear joy and anger.

I closed my eyes, calmed down the emotions in my heart, and whispered, “Your Majesty, what I hate most in my life is being wronged.”. When I was a child, I could jump into a lake to prove my innocence because I was wronged by others. Now I can break out of my bedroom in a fit of pique because I was wronged. I

didn’t have the heart to see what Ni Yun’s expression was. I prepared the next words in my heart, and for the first time I showed a weak posture in front of him. Your Majesty, let’s not mention the past for the time being. During the palace chaos, I lost so many things. If a pair of old earrings fell into the hands of others, how would they be used by interested people? In the years since I became empress, have I harmed any of the beauties in the palace?

“You are jealous of Yun Ruo. As for the other beauties in the palace, I don’t care about them. Only Yun Ruo is the one I care about.”

I laughed at myself, tears rolling in my eyes, and looked him straight in the eye.

My concubine naturally knew the weight of Yun Guifei in the heart of the emperor. Because of this, how could my concubine be so stupid as to use tricks to harm her in full view of the public? Your Majesty, although you fell in love with Yun Guifei when you were young, you have known my concubine since childhood. At that time, I knew it was my father’s fault. I never thought anything about the emperor’s administration. Instead, I thanked you for the honor you gave me. It was just a change in the palace that created an estrangement between you and my concubine, but my concubine is still in good order for you in this harem.

“As for last night, someone came in with a note saying that they knew who framed me. I was so upset and angry that I rushed out, but I didn’t expect that there was a dead man lying there, still holding my old earring in my hand. I was so scared that I fainted.”

I said earnestly, “I don’t recognize the miscarriage of Concubine Yun.”. But the harem’s supervision is not effective, and I can’t absolve myself of the blame. I hope the emperor will take back the right of my concubines to manage the six palaces to show the queen’s fault. With

tears in his eyes, Ni Yun’s face softened a little bit, as if remembering that he and I had met when we were young, noisy and playful, and our feelings were precious and sincere. Or maybe he felt that I had never been so weak and had never expressed my inner thoughts so frankly. Or maybe it’s because I’m pregnant.

I could not guess what he would think, but with the naked eye, he did not get angry and thought in silence, not knowing whether to think about the truth of my words or my last request.

Finally, he said, This is the end of the matter. Yun Guifei there, I will make up for her, the doctor said that your body is weak, not suitable for hard work, the right to manage the six palaces will let Yun Guifei do it for you. Take good care of yourself. I don’t want to lose another child.

He believed it.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but when I thought of Ah Yan, my heart was filled with knife-like pain. After

Ni Yun left, Ziluo withdrew the palace people in the dormitory on the grounds that I wanted to rest, leaving her alone to guard me.

She looked at me worriedly. “The maidservant has secretly asked someone to take care of it. She will bury Ah Yan properly.”

I nodded, as if the tears had dried up by now.

“Empress, why did you say that to Your Majesty today?”

Ziluo, don’t you understand? You should learn to be wiser. We will never have peace. Touching the warm jade bracelet between my wrists, I said, I have lost my father, I have lost my royal status, I have lost Ah Yan, and now I am about to lose myself. I have no choice. The storm is aimed at this palace, and if the consequences of not resisting are too tragic, what will be the result of resisting?

I looked at my flat stomach and suddenly smiled.

“At least, there is no worse result than now.”

Three months, no more, no less, but enough to change things. Many people in

the harem have been talking recently that the empress seems to be different from before. In

the past, she lived in seclusion, did not show up until major festivals, and was indifferent to the emperor. Nowadays, she may be pregnant and straighten her back, often take the initiative to go to the front hall to send soup and cakes to the emperor, but also gentle and lovely. Yun Guifei, who had been much loved

before, had a miscarriage carelessly in the queen’s palace. After she got the power of the six palaces, she was domineering. She punished several beauties who had been summoned to bed by the emperor and killed several palace people. She was severely reprimanded by the emperor and was left out in the cold recently.

I took the thick juice and drank it down.

Ziluo handed me a candied fruit. I shook my head and said, “No matter how bitter it is, I have tasted it. What is that?”

She sighed. “If it hadn’t been for the empress..” I drank a few too many strong drugs, which led to the disorder of Guishui and the weakness of my body. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been pregnant for more than three months, and we don’t know.

I looked at the round waist, more than six months of the fetus can be earth-shaking in the belly, sometimes kicking and punching, the belly protrudes east and west.

At this time, a palace man outside the hall shouted, “The emperor is coming.”.

Ni Yun frowned when he came in, and his face was very bad. Ziluo and

I looked at each other, waved her down first, and went forward.

“Shall the emperor have dinner?”

Ni Yun sat on the couch, shaking his head, still with a calm face.

I ordered the palace people to set the table in a loud voice, walked up to him, took his hand and put it on his abdomen.

Your Majesty, would you like to talk to the child today? He likes your voice best, but whenever you speak, he will. Ouch!

Just at this time, the child’s fierce foot, just kicked in Ni Yun’s palm.

I said happily, “He must have known that the emperor was coming and greeted you.”

Ni Yun felt this situation for the first time, the moment the clouds of gloom dispersed, happy, holding my waist and abdomen in both hands, ears close to it.

“Son, it’s your father. You know he’s come to see you, don’t you?” A burst of punches and kicks

across his belly responded to him, making him laugh in an instant.

He raised his head, unable to hide his excitement in his eyes. I gazed at him tenderly and said, “Your Majesty has come just in time. My concubine has made scallop and pear soup. I thought I would send it to you later.”

Any man can not resist the tenderness of his wife and the closeness of his children, let alone this is Ni Yun’s first child, but also in the palace lineal, whether prince or princess, can not shake the status of the eldest. Holding my hand,

Ni Yun couldn’t hide her sincerity. “Yaoyao, you’re pregnant, so why do it yourself?”? Just send someone to deliver it.

I pursed my lips and said shyly, “It’s also because I’m stupid. I don’t know when I don’t want to give this artificial hand to others. I take this trip every day as a body building and physical fitness to eat and digest, and I can still see the emperor.”

Seeing me bow my head in shame, Ni Yun heaved a deep sigh and took me into her arms. “I thought that after quarreling with you for so many years, we would continue to treat each other with such respect, but I didn’t expect that now you are becoming more and more intimate and lovely.”

I was as tender as a river: “It was I who was wrong at the beginning, but I couldn’t get out of a dead end. If it hadn’t been for Yunruo’s sister, I wouldn’t have been able to recognize my own mind.”

Hearing me mention Yun Ruo, Ni Yun sighed again and said, “Yun Ruo has become perverse since she lost her child. I don’t have the heart to blame her, but the families of several beauties in the palace have complained in the past few days.”

I propped myself up, and with a look of shame on my face, I said, “If I hadn’t been lax in my management of the harem, Yun-juo’s sister wouldn’t have had a miscarriage. Now that I’m pregnant with a child, she can’t help feeling sad. It’s all my fault.”

Ni Yun stroked my stomach and comforted me: “Don’t think too much. It’s important to give birth to my eldest son.”

I answered with a smile.

Winter heavy snow, wintersweet pistil.

The room was lit with silver and charcoal, and it was warm. I was reading on the couch, and suddenly I heard someone crying outside the porch, from far to near to the door.

Ziluo came in quietly. “Empress, Yuefei wants to see you.”

Yuefei was one of the first beauties after Ni Yun ascended the throne. Her father was a lieutenant under Ni Yun at that time. He was given the title of Duke of Xianguo after making contributions from the dragon. His daughter was also sent to the palace, and the family became a new noble in the court. In the

first two years after I entered the palace, Yuefei was very popular. Because of my indifferent relationship with Ni Yun, she was often arrogant when she paid her respects. On the surface, she gave me several bad looks. Later, once Ni Yun caught her raving to me on the spot. After she coveted the queen in her words, she lost her favor until now. Why did

she suddenly come here today?

I was confused, but I let someone in first. It’s snowing heavily outside the house, so as to avoid the rumor that I treat the imperial concubine harshly.

Yuefei was crying, her hair was disheveled, her left face was swollen like sheep’s jade fat, and there was a bright red palm print on her head.

“Empress, you have to make decisions for your concubine!”! Today my concubine only laughed a few more times to pay her respects, and then she was slapped by the imperial concubine. My concubine was really wronged!

“What are you laughing at?”

Because the power of the six palaces is now in the hands of Yun Ruo, and my body is getting heavier and heavier, the place where the concubines pay their respects every day has been changed to the Zhong Ling Hall.

The sisters were all discussing the upcoming arrival of a legitimate son in the harem, and the concubine smiled happily, but the imperial concubine said that the concubine did not respect her, and raised her hand and hit her. Empress, my concubine is at least a legitimate daughter of the Guogongfu family, and her father has the merit of being a dragon. How can imperial concubine treat my concubine like this and ask her to make decisions for me? With a sigh,

I made someone help her up and sit down. “Sister Yuefei,” I said, “I don’t have the right to control the six palaces now. How can I make decisions for you?”

Yuefei’s eyes were full of hope, and she said, “The empress is pregnant with her husband and wife, and recently she has been in love with the emperor. The emperor comes to see the empress every day. Why don’t the empress mention something to the emperor?”

Empress, Concubine Yun is arrogant and domineering. She really can’t compare with your kindness. All the sisters dare to be angry but dare not speak out. What’s more, Yun Guifei often belittled the empress in front of everyone and coveted the throne.

Want to say this month imperial concubine is not clever, but she knows to come to me here to borrow a knife to kill people, by the way on the cloud if the eyedrop, if can wait until Ni Yun comes again best. But to say that she was clever, she took out the matter of her father from the dragon, fearing that others would not know the origin of her mother’s family, and that she would be taken to the emperor as a raft.

I asked Ziluo to take two bottles of the best wound medicine for her. “This is the Furong cream of Shanggong. Any red and swollen scars can be eliminated.”. Don’t leave a scar because of your beautiful appearance.

“Empress..” What else

did Yuefei want to say, but the maidservant came in with the doctor who asked for peace. Seeing that I began to close my eyes, she had to shut up and ask Ann to leave.

A few days later, however, something big happened. Not long ago,

Zhou Meiren was a favored palace maid. She was very popular with Ni Yun. She heard that her singing was amazing and her dancing was graceful. In addition, Yun Ruo often quarreled with him recently, so Zhou Meiren was even more favored. It

happened to be Laba that day, the palace went to the Imperial Kitchen to get the Congee with Nuts and Dried Fruits, the rain with several maidservants passed by the corridor, Zhou Meiren rehearsed the song and dance of the New Year’s celebration in the empty stage, did not grasp the direction of the ribbon on her hand, just threw it on their tray, and the porridge water spilled completely.

Ning Yu is a big maid of honor around Yunruo, how to look up to a little beauty, immediately frowning, to Zhou Meiren personally go to the Imperial Kitchen to get a Congee with Nuts and Dried Fruits, end to Zhong Ling Palace to make amends.

Zhou Meiren was doted on for a period of time, and how to stand being scolded by a palace maid, the two sides immediately quarreled.

Several maidservants pulled two people, did not expect them to quarrel more and more fierce, Zhou Meiren was so angry that she smashed the bowl and threw away the tray of the rain.

Ning Yu was naturally angry and complained to Yun Ruo after returning to the Zhong Ling Palace. Yun Ruo held the power of the six palaces and wanted to cure the crime of disrespecting Zhou Meiren.

But this week, the beauty has a very strong character, and she choked back with Yunruo face to face. Yun Ruo remembered that she had recently robbed herself of a lot of favors, and now she dared to talk back, and in a fit of anger, she was given dumb medicine.

Singing voice and figure are the chips of Zhou Meiren’s competition for favor. She lost her good voice and could not even speak. That night, Zhou Meiren hung the beam.

The next day, the matter unexpectedly fermented to the former Dynasty, Ni Yun woke up from the supervisor’s verbal and written criticism to learn about the matter, after the next court was so angry that he lifted the table on the spot.

These old men stare at my harem and family affairs every day. It’s a waste of time to be a courtier! Have you read all the poems and books into the dog’s stomach?

“It’s such a big palace, and I don’t even know that such a big event has happened, but I have to know it from the mouth of my courtiers. Is it difficult to say that the palace is full of their eyes?”

As an emperor for a few years, Ni Yun is no longer as handsome and handsome as he used to be. He is busy every day, frowning all day long, and not angry.

I handed over a peeled grapefruit and said softly, “Your Majesty, your anger hurts your health. Why should you be influenced by your courtiers?”? You are the son of heaven, who doesn’t listen to you? You have to pay attention to your health.

Ni Yun took the grapefruit with his mouth and his face softened.

“Or the queen for my sake, if the cloud..” Alas.

I am still a good explanation of the language flower, to excuse Yunruo.

“My sister has suffered so much in Tafan for so many years, and finally she lost her baby. Seeing that there are more new people in the palace, she naturally has some misunderstandings about the emperor. You should take more care of her.”

Ni Yun was obviously pleased with these words, but he was still distressed and said, “But I am the emperor, and I can’t control the harem of three thousand. I have overcome all difficulties to bring her back from the great vassal. If she wants to be temperamental, I will obey her. But this is a matter of human life. How can I convince the people if I don’t punish her?”

But three months of confinement, of course, can not stop the mouth of Youyou. I

won’t mention it. I just follow his words and say something nice.

Even so, Chou Mei-nu was only a palace maid, and the emperor gave her a place, a generous burial, and a minor official to her father to praise her family. I think the officials should have no objection. As for my sister. After this incident, she should understand your painstaking efforts and be much more restrained.

You have a point. The monarch and his subjects are in order. This is the best way to solve the problem.

I smiled and took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere to call out softly, “Brother Yu-an.”

Ni Yun Leng Leng, eyes tightly staring at me, fundus floating with complex emotions, seems to be stunned, seems to be surprised, but also seems to miss.

yuan is his word, which I always call him when young people get together when they are young.

I knew that he always liked Yunruo, and never disturbed their feelings. After Yunruo went to marry instead of me, I heard that he drank to drown his sorrows for a long time, and soon his father died in battle. These things must have planted the seeds of revenge. At the time of the

palace change, his confidant wanted to kill me, but when he hesitated, the present queen mother broke in to protect me and persuaded him to make me queen.

He did this just to subdue the old minister, to show his benevolence to the world, so that he could ascend the throne safely.

He is not attracted to me, and a man, especially a king, can not tie a heart to a woman completely. Embarrassed,

I lowered my head and stroked my stomach. Yunruo’s sister had a bad fate, and my concubine also felt sorry for her. My sister’s child has been lost, but my concubine’s child is about to be born. She must have lost her heart, so she made trouble with you.

If she hadn’t gone to get married, I think she would be the queen today. You and your sister have gone through all kinds of hardships to be together. I want to make my sister happy. Brother Yu-an, I just want to give birth safely and live a good life.

I am willing to help you, and I am willing to help Yunruo’s sister. I hope you can help me. “You don’t want to be a queen anymore?”

Ni Yun asked.

I looked at him, lowered my head again, and did not speak.

Ni Yun’s line of sight as I put on Gao Long’s lower abdomen, silent for a long time, before listening to him open his mouth.

“Don’t mention that again.”

“Yes.”

I gently raised the corners of my mouth and rubbed his temples.

That night, when I was about to go to bed, Ziluo came in with a solemn face and whispered in my ear, “Empress, there is news from the palace people who are staring at the Zhong Ling Hall.”

“How’s it going?”

She nodded. “She’s got a lot of nerve,”

I sneered.

“Perhaps watching her belly grow bigger day by day, my heart is burning with anxiety.”

I told Ziluo, “Release what the Imperial Physician said today that I have a prince in my belly.”

Zi Luo hesitated and said, “This..” Will it be bad for you? What are you

afraid of? You need a bait to lure the snake out of its hole.

I don’t care, just let her go, turn off the lights and go to sleep, a good night’s sleep. In

a flash, I was eight months pregnant, and my belly was so big that I had a hard time. In order to give birth smoothly, I would walk along the road from Yuxiu Palace to the Imperial Garden several times a day.

Li Yunruo lifted the ban and there was still a month to go. Maybe it was the last time she lost her footing and kept a low profile. She couldn’t get out of the palace. She wrote to Ni Yun in the bedroom every day. The bodyguard was just a watchman. He didn’t get the order that the imperial concubine was not allowed to send a letter to the emperor. He was also afraid that the favored imperial concubine would settle accounts after autumn after lifting the ban. In addition, the congealing rain is used to managing, so all the other requirements are met except that people are not allowed to go in and out.

Yun Ruo wrote letters for two months in succession, softening Ni Yun’s heart, and playing the lute in the hall one day. The sound of the lute was like a cry, and what she played was the song of love between the two of them when they were young, which attracted Ni Yun to see her.

On the second day, Yunruo’s ban was lifted, but the power of the six palaces was managed by Yuefei.

Yuefei held a grudge after she was slapped by Yunruo. When she forced Zhou Meiren to death, the Duke of Xianguo impeached her in the former court. Now the power of the six palaces is in hand. Not to mention that she can stand up to her, at least with the support of her mother’s family, she won’t be completely defeated.

Yun Ruo also knew that he had many enemies in his harem. Although he didn’t care, he still restrained his temper, like a dormant snake, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Ni Yun still forbade the imperial concubines to disturb me. Obviously, he attached great importance to the wife in my belly. He often came to Yuxiu Palace to have dinner with me. When he went to bed, he went to Yuefei or Yunruo. Occasionally, he went to other concubines to adjust themselves in the palace. On the tenth day after the lifting of the ban

in Yunruo, I strolled on the way to the Imperial Garden with my pregnant belly as usual.

Passing by the door of Zhong Ling Hall, the ground was wet. Ziluo held me carefully and looked at me carefully.

“Empress, let’s go around one side and be careful of the slippery ground.”

I nodded and let her help me around the wetland. Who would have thought that a palace man would suddenly run out of it and hit Ziluo straight. The

huge impact hit, Ziluo naturally could not stand, the whole body pressed me to the ground.

“Empress!”

Fortunately, the little palace attendant behind me was quick with his eyes and hands, and he was busy blocking me with his body and holding me hard.

Do you want to die? If you bump into the empress, if the little prince has something, can you afford it?

After Ziluo stood firm, she glanced at me in shock. After confirming that there was no problem, she turned her head and shouted abuse at the palace man. Knowing that he had made a big mistake,

the palace man crawled on the ground and begged for mercy again and again: “The slave knows he is wrong!”! The slave knows his mistake! Beg the empress to spare the slave! The slave was only ordered by the Empress Yuefei to deliver something to the Zhong Ling Palace. If she accidentally bumped into you, the Empress will forgive her!

“Are you Yuefei’s man?” I asked.

“Yes, yes, the slave is the maid in the palace of the Empress Yuefei. I beg the Empress to show mercy!” Fortunately, I have nothing to do with this

palace, so I’ll let you off this time. As a servant in the palace, you should be extremely careful. Next time, it won’t be so easy.

I waved my hand and stopped Ziluo who still wanted to pursue.

The palace man thanked him gratefully and stood timidly against the wall.

When I went to the pavilion on the Imperial Garden and sat down to rest, Ziluo wondered, “Empress, why didn’t you punish that palace official?”? If it hadn’t been for little yuan’er holding you up, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

“He’s not Yuefei’s man. What’s the use of punishing him?”

“Isn’t he Yuefei’s man?” Ziluo said thoughtfully, “Then why did he say he was Yuefei’s man?”

I looked at the peach blossoms that were beginning to blossom and said slowly, “The purpose is to make me suspicious of Yuefei.”. Borrowing a knife to kill someone is a trick she’s tried every time. She wants me to turn on Yuefei, so she can have the benefit of the fisherman.

“Who is the person behind this?”

I didn’t answer. There were a few wild geese flying in the

sky, and the breath of spring awakening and the stubborn chill of late winter mixed together, which made me wrap my neck tightly.

“Empress, let’s go back.” Ziluo naturally noticed it.

I shook my head. “Just wait.”

Sure enough, just a moment later, there was a sound of footsteps coming here.

“Sister, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The man laughed in a coquettish voice and was very unhappy.

I replied with a smile, “Sister, I really haven’t seen you for some time.” Sitting in front of me,

Yun Ruo twisted her waist and touched my stomach affectionately. Her eyes flashed fiercely. “My child is gone, but my sister’s child is well pregnant. She was pregnant for three months without saying a word. But if she wants to use the child to turn over, my sister is a little more confident.”

“How did you lose your child? Did you forget?” I retorted quietly, “How cruel your heart is! You can even give up your children for revenge.”

I looked up at her and whispered, “But it’s also an evil seed. How dare you use it to confuse the royal blood?”? It’s better to be ruthless and kill two birds with one stone. If the

cloud floats on the face, the smile quickly disappears, and the beautiful eyes are full of alert and sinister.

She stared at me for a long time and then smiled. “What nonsense is my sister talking about?”? Now my sister’s heart and eyes are full of hope that you will give birth to your eldest son safely, so that the former court and the harem will be happy.

I stood up and told Ziluo to wait for me here. Then I said to Yunruo, “Sister, why don’t you help me go to the front of the palace?” If

the cloud knew what I meant, it would also let the rain wait here and come forward to help me with a smile.

When I turned a corner and the palace people were out of sight, I leisurely opened my mouth and said, “Sister, don’t you hate it when you see my belly getting bigger and bigger day by day?”

Since she was no longer in front of people, she didn’t bother to pretend. She shook off my hand and said, “It seems that I underestimated you.”

I smiled and continued, “I’ve been a queen for a few years, and I can’t know nothing about what happens in the palace.”. My sister can’t let me fight back, can she? Undaunted,

Yun Ruo said slowly, “What does my sister want to use to fight back?”? You and I have no family background, will Sanlang support you between you and me? Or..?

Her eyes fell on my stomach and she chuckled, “With this baby?”? Not to mention whether the child is a boy or a girl, even if it is the eldest son of the wife? There are so many beauties in this harem. Can my sister be a queen safely? Can guarantee the eldest son of the wife to ascend the throne safely? It’s hard to say whether this child will be born safely now!

I turned to look at her. “So, does my sister want to get rid of my child?”

Yunruo avoided answering. He held his head high and said, “I won’t let you press on my head.”. Just wait and let you escape once, and there will be no second time.

I readily answered and turned to the lake on the left. “Sister, it’s enough that I have been planted once. I will give him a taste of his own medicine. It’s time to give you back what I have suffered.”

She seemed to feel something and stopped.

I gently took her hand, and she frowned and tried to pull it out, but I held it tightly.

She looked up hurriedly, and before she could make a sound, I smiled at her, shouted, and leaned back.

“Yaoyao!” The

cold water of the lake swallowed me up in an instant. The flaming

candle reflected the shadow of the young emperor on the wall, motionless. The palace people were all in a hurry, coming and going, in a mess, and several imperial concubines stood helplessly aside, not daring to make a sound. The

suppressed cry and the faint cry of pain interlaced together, into the ears, like a sledgehammer hard hit Ni Yun’s head, unconsciously he clenched his fist tightly, breathing more and more heavy. If

the cloud is still sobbing, Jiao Yan soft language, beautiful eyes with tears, delicate and moving.

Sanlang, how could my concubine push my sister? My concubine is not a fool. She would personally harm the child in her sister’s belly in broad daylight, Sanlang..

“Shut up!” As soon as

Ni Yun threw the teacup, she suddenly stood up and pointed at her with an angry stare. “You frequently beat people in the palace and are jealous of the imperial concubines,” she said. “I’ll let you go. I don’t think it’s right for you to be temperamental once in a while. But this is my legitimate son! Since your child was not the victim of the queen, why did you do this? It was the first

time Yunruo had seen him so angry with himself. He couldn’t believe it and said, “Sanlang!”! You don’t trust me!

Ni Yun gave a sneer and said, How can I trust you? Did the queen herself jump into the water? For what? To frame you? I saw with my own eyes that you pushed the queen into the lake!

“I didn’t!” Yun Ruo began to cry sincerely and knelt down. “Sanlang!”! I know the pain of losing a child, how can I harm my sister? After I lost my child, I did a lot of wrong things. I was grounded for two months and I knew I was wrong. How could I dare to do such a thing? When the Empress Dowager, who

had just arrived, saw this, she stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the safety of the Empress and the fetus in her womb is very important.”. Punish the imperial concubines, and investigate and punish them afterwards.

Empress! Concubine! Hold on! The people in the

palace shouted one after another. The Imperial Physician lifted the curtain of the inner hall and knelt down in front of Ni Yun with sweat on his face. He said in a trembling voice, Your Majesty, the empress was frightened when she fell into the water. The weather was cold and the water was cold. The baby started early. But the empress is physically weak, and the fetus has not entered the basin for a long time, so the situation is not very good now.

Ni Yun walked a few paces, then stopped and said, “Doctor Zhang, if the empress and the prince make a mistake, your family will go with them.”

The Imperial Physician answered with trepidation and hurriedly opened a new prescription for people to take the medicine to boil, and then rushed into the inner hall.

I don’t know how long it took for Ni Yun to wait anxiously. Suddenly he heard a few loud cries and shouts from inside. His back was cold, and he wanted to rush to the inner hall, shouting, “Yaoyao!”

The queen mother hurriedly sent people to stop him, and several palace people dragged him.

Zi Luo knelt at the head of the bed and held my hand tightly. Her face was full of tears and she kept saying, “Empress!”! Hold on, Empress. The little prince will be out in a minute. You must do more! The constant pain in my

lower body made me numb. I looked at the top of the bed in a misty way. All my strength seemed to run out. The chill trickled down with the sweat in front of my forehead and slowly spread to my limbs.

“Ziluo..” I tried to piece together the complete words, “In case I..” Then take grace and leave the palace.

Ziluo shook her head in tears and called out, “Empress!”! You push hard! You can’t die! You must leave a way out for the baby in your belly, Empress!

As if seeing that I was determined to die, she trembled and took out a pair of earrings from her bosom and put them in my palm.

I clenched it gently and stroked it slowly. My fingertips stroked the concave part of the carving. Tears rolled down. The turbulent grief condensed in my chest. Finally, it turned into a force that made me clench my teeth, tighten my body and exert myself hard.

“Empress!”

Accompanied by a scream, the baby’s cry resounded through the room, so that the palace people were relieved and overjoyed.

“a little prince!”

“Congratulations to the Empress!”

Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Queen Mother!

Ziluo collapsed on the ground and wiped my sweat with tears and tears.

The palace man took a look at the child he had packed up and took it out for Ni Yun and the queen mother to see.

I was so tired that I felt the figure shaking and unconsciously closed my eyes and went to sleep.

When I woke up, it was late at night on the second day. Ni Yun and the queen mother were still outside. Several imperial concubines did not dare to go and looked at me longingly.

Ni Yun held the child in her arms and sat on the edge of the bed. “You have given me a prince. This is my eldest son.”

He was very happy and loved the wrinkled little people.

The Empress Dowager stepped forward again and showed her kindness. “Empress, you are also blessed after suffering. Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, you and the grandson of the Ai family are safe.”. Don’t worry, the emperor will give you justice this time.

Ni Yun patted her swaddling clothes, and her face gradually darkened. “Concubine Yun has a bad character and is jealous. She should take back the power to run the six palaces, pay a fine of one year, and be demoted to Jieyu, as an example to others.”

I leaned up slightly, grabbed the hem of Ni Yun’s clothes, and pleaded for Yun Ruo: “Your Majesty, my sister didn’t do it on purpose. It was my own carelessness. She lost her child. How can I put up with your neglect?”

Ni Yun did not speak, as if hesitating.

The Empress Dowager sighed, but came to teach me, “Empress, if this matter is not punished, and the emperor acts in the future, who else in the front court and the harem will obey?”? Ai Jia knows that you are kind-hearted, tolerant and magnanimous, and because Yun Jieyu is your cousin, you tolerate her everywhere. But this time it’s not just a matter of killing one or two palace officials, it’s already a matter of endangering their own children.

She looked at Ni Yun again with a serious look on her face. Last year, when you took Yun Jieyu into the palace, you had already overcome all difficulties. When this happened to the empress, it was necessary for you to add fuel to the flames with your partiality! If the ordinary imperial concubine, into the cold palace is light, immediate hanging is serious. The Ai family doesn’t want to interfere too much in the affairs of the harem. It should be up to you to handle it. I just hope that in the future your wife will be flat and there won’t be any more trouble!

Ni Yun nodded with a cold face and still did not answer. Just then

, Ziluo knelt down with a splash and cried, Your Majesty! Ask the emperor to make decisions for the empress! Before the empress fell into the water, she was almost knocked down by the palace attendant of Yuefei when she passed the gate of Zhongling Hall, and then this happened again. Your Majesty, it must have been on purpose!

Ziluo! What are you talking about? I shouted.

Empress! You’re just too kind-hearted, so they’ve set you up. If it weren’t for your fate, the maidservants might all go with you this time!

“You’re really full of words, maidservant!” Ni Yun sulked and looked at Yuefei. “What’s the matter with you?” Concu

bine Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly knelt down and explained, “I didn’t!”! I didn’t send anyone to the Hall of the Bell Spirit today! Even if there were, I wouldn’t dare to harm the empress even if I had the courage to do so. Your Majesty is a wise judge!

“But the little Chamberlain clearly said he was Yuefei’s man!”

Your Majesty! I am wronged! Please look into it!

“Shut up, all of you!” The Empress Dowager could not bear it any longer. “Emperor, look what your harem has become.”? Check! Check for the Ai family! The Ai family would like to see who is trying to harm the empress and who is bringing trouble to the harem!

She turned her head and told me kindly, “Queen, just take good care of yourself, and the Ai family will give you an explanation.”

I had to nod, said nothing more, and closed my eyes to rest. It was already a month later when it was

discovered that there was a spy in the palace.

It happened to be the day of Yuer’s full moon. Ni Yun wanted to do it in a big way, but I didn’t want to make it public. I only held a family banquet in the palace. When the

banquet was over, Ziluo helped me take off my bun and put on a light bedclothes, and a little maid of honor came to report.

I saw the woman in the bronze mirror smiling happily and saying, “I’ve caught it.”

Ziluo, however, had a lingering fear in her heart. With concern and reproach, she said, “The empress never thought about what she would do if she didn’t make it to the moment when the big prince was born.”

“The result will not change. Now that we have arranged everything, we will never allow anything to go wrong.” I stroked the bronze mirror. “If this palace dies like that, Ni Yun will always remember me, and will always remember that Yun Ruo killed his legitimate son and his queen.”.

Even if he loves her again, as long as Yunruo threatens his stability, challenges his authority, and wants to control his emotional preferences, his love will not last long. The

emperor’s love is not destined to be single-minded. If you want to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, it’s not enough to use a bitter trick. Only by threatening political power will you never be able to stand up again.

Ziluo nodded and waited on me to go to bed.

The night was dim, and this night I seemed to have unloaded the burden for a long time, and in a moment, I fell into a dream. On the morning of the second

day, everything was settled. Yun Jieyu collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. She was demoted to a commoner and put into the cold palace. She was not allowed to face the saint all her life.

Because of Yunruo’s betrayal, Ni Yun was very depressed for a period of time. He was depressed all day and seldom favored his concubines. He only occasionally came to Yuxiu Palace to see Yuer, ate a meal and left.

Some courtiers worried that if the cloud bewitched the sage again, in order to avoid future trouble, they asked Ni Yun to execute her. Ni Yun could not bear it. Although he hated Yun Ruo for collaborating with the enemy, he still could not cut off his love for her.

The queen mother was even more abhorrent, personally said to Ni Yun uprooted, if the emperor does not issue a decree, she will order.

It happened that this day Ni Yun came down to me for dinner, teased Fan Yuer, and relaxed a little.

He furrowed his brows and felt very sad. “Yaoyao, why does Yuner still want to contact Dafan?”? How could she betray me and help them after all the humiliation she suffered there?

I helped him with the food and asked, “Your Majesty, didn’t your sister say anything?”

He shook his head and said, “I caught the palace attendant who almost knocked you down, but as soon as he saw someone coming to catch him, he committed suicide by taking poison. The guards found a letter in his residence. It was exactly the letter that Yun’er wrote to Da Fan’s spies that day.”. It was also because of this that I realized that the palace was full of spies. After cleaning

the palace, I went to ask her, but she didn’t deny it and didn’t say anything. She just laughed and cried, which broke my heart. I can’t figure it out! Now all the officials are forcing me to put her to death. I really can’t bear it.

Sure enough, it was the new emperor, but his mind was still indecisive. I sneer in the bottom of my heart, although it is an unforgettable juvenile affection, but I do not know how he will react after knowing the truth?

Your Majesty, where is Ning Yu, the maid beside your sister? But tortured her?

At this point, Ni Yun’s face quickly fell. “Ning Yu left the palace two days before the incident, and has not been found yet.”

“Out of the palace?” I murmured, “The strange way is that two days ago when I came back from visiting my family, I mentioned that I saw a woman who looked like Ning Yu on the street.”

“Where?” Ni Yun immediately asked.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. My concubine has called Xiao yuan’er for questioning.”

I asked Ziluo to call Xiao yuaner to come in. After knowing the general place, Ni Yun sent the bodyguard to catch Ning Yu quickly.

Within three days, Ning Yu was captured back to the palace. She didn’t last long in Shen Xing Si before she confessed all of them.

She was originally the little maidservant who followed Yun Ruo when he married, and the Khan of Dafan, who had many concubines, was very fond of wine and women. One day after drinking, Khan saw that she was quite beautiful and forcibly occupied her.

Yun Ruo was resentful, but he thought that there were few confidants in a foreign country, so it was good to use the condensation rain to win over Khan. As a result, Ning Yu became a tool for Yunruo to fight for power and profit.

When Yunruo saw that Ning Yu was very popular with Khan, he became jealous and grinded her every day. After a long

time, Ning Yu wanted to die, but she was pregnant at this time. At the same time, Yunruo also has a body. Soon after, they gave birth to boys one after another.

Thought to have a child is also a little hope, but this Khan indulged in debauchery for too long, unexpectedly died in the imperial concubine account without warning. After

several sons robbed, the new Khan ascended the throne and wanted to kill the two younger brothers, but he coveted Yunruo’s beauty and inherited his father’s concubines as a matter of course. He answered Yunruo’s cry and left their two children behind.

The new Khan was warlike, and after he was defeated by the Southern Dynasty, although he was humiliated to give up Yunruo, he withheld their sons and forced them to deliver messages for him.

In this year, Yun Ruo placed a lot of eyes for the new Khan in the palace, and was found by Ni Yun before he could stretch his hand longer. When

Ning Yu learned that the queen mother was going to thoroughly investigate the murder of the queen, he was so nervous that he slipped out of the palace to hide with the palace card in his hand and wanted to find time to return to Dafan.

And she knew that she could not escape the death penalty, so she spat out all her secrets.

“Yun Ruo’s miscarriage was not caused by the empress, nor by other empresses, but by the medicine she drank.”

Seeing that Ni Yun turned pale with fright, Ning Yu giggled, “Your Majesty, the night before you took her back to the Southern Dynasty, Khan favored her.”. In order not to let you find out that the child’s month is not right, Yunruo decided to use this fetus to frame the empress without blinking. Your Majesty, the woman you love is in Dafan, and she’s sharpened her head in order to win favor!

“Shut up!” Ni Yun broke the teacup and shouted to the palace people to drag the rain down. With his eyes wide open, he fell straight down on the chair.

I stepped forward worriedly, but there was a surge of pleasure in my heart.

He covered his face with trembling hands, and after a long time, when he looked at me, his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.

“Empress, am I wrong?”

Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. She is the one who is wrong. She has betrayed your sincerity.

He nodded slightly, his back bent, his face hidden in the dark where the candlelight could not shine. I stood beside him and rubbed his head.

After a long time, he began to move, holding me in his cold hands, and his voice seemed to come from a very distant place.

“Send her on her way in three days.” After

a moment’s hesitation, I asked, “Is the emperor going to see her off?”

“No, it’s up to you.” Ni Yun shook his head dejectedly.

Seeing him leave in silence, I thought that his cloud should have died tonight.

13

I did not wait for three days, but went to the cold palace on the second day.

When I was a child, I came here by mistake because of playing hide-and-seek with my brothers. The remote palace, the desolate corridors, and the occasional cries of women frightened me when I was a child. I didn’t think I could set foot here again with another purpose today.

Ziluo put the food box on the broken table. There was not even a good stool in the empty room. She arranged for Xiaoyuan to go back to Yuxiu Palace to get the stool.

Yunruo lay on the bed in the corner of the room, and the old bed creaked as soon as he set out. Without the excellent environment and life, the bright and beautiful woman withered and withered as quickly as the epiphyllum. She sat up with disheveled hair and a haggard face, but the only thing that did not change was the look of hatred.

“How is it you?”

She patted the crumbs on her body, as if she were still the well-fed imperial concubine, and walked leisurely in front of me. Can

you be so kind as to come and see me? To show off that you temporarily beat me? Don’t think that if you confuse Sanlang, you can sit on the Diaoyutai. Just wait and see. I can go out in a few days.

“Yesterday, Ning Yu was already caught.” I interrupted her. “The emperor already knows that you used the miscarriage to frame this palace.”

“How?” She stepped back in shock. “I told her to hide it.”

“Hung-an,” I called her by her old title, as affectionately as when she was a teenager. “Why did we end up fighting each other to the death?”

Yun Ruo first sneered, “Are you asking me?”? How dare you ask me?

Then she threw back her head to the sky and burst out laughing. “Do you know what kind of life I lived in Dafan?”? Be bullied and humiliated casually, even their own sons are not fully protected, can only sell sex like a prostitute, wandering between one man and another to live in the world! This was your life, it’s yours! I bear it instead of you!

Yun Yiyao, why do you have such a good life? When you become a princess of a fallen country, you can still be the empress of a new Dynasty, but the new emperor is still my third son! She burst into tears and her body trembled as if in great pain.

My brother ran after me for three days and three nights when I set out to get married. I cried for three days and three nights. I thought he would take me back as soon as he became the new emperor, but what came was the news that he made you queen! I was so mad with anger and hatred that I wanted to run back to the Southern Dynasty, but I was caught and beaten by Khan. I hate it! I hate why me! Of all the people, why me?! Finally, Saburo remembered me and sent someone to pick me up!

She turned her head and stared at me. “The first step on the land of the Southern Dynasties, all I could think about was trampling you under my feet!”! I will give you a taste of what I have suffered!

I looked at her with pity. “Hung-an, I never wanted you to marry for me, and so did my father.”. At that time, I was ready to get married, but it was the emperor’s uncle who recommended himself to show his loyalty and cut off the possibility of marrying the Ni family.

Yunruo’s expression changed dramatically and he looked at me in disbelief. “Impossible, impossible!”

At that time, your father Wang Yimai was the only member of the direct line of the clan. For many years, the emperor’s uncle was also mediocre and could not be put in an important position. Perhaps it’s to dispel the father’s suspicions, or perhaps it’s to make the father sit up and take notice. In a word, he will never let you marry into the general’s office, which holds the military power. I said slowly, watching her stagger and collapse on the ground, watching her cry loudly.

“After you came back, I mentioned to the emperor several times that I wanted to give up the position of queen, but he refused, not me.”

By this time, Xiao yuaner had already brought a stool. I sat down gently and looked down at her on the ground. Her tone was still flat.

Hung-an, I didn’t rob you of your husband. When I became the queen, I was just lingering on in this palace. You must regard me as an eyesore and ruin my last dream. Perhaps, from the moment you go and kiss, the two of us will never die.

Yun Ruo’s mood gradually stabilized, and she gently wiped away the tears on her face. “How did you know that I was still in contact with Da Fan?”

“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself.” Touching the bracelet between my wrists, I said, “You arranged for the people of Dafan to take Ah Yan into the palace. No one knows how bold he is. There must be a lot of eyes in the palace.”. A Yan was the dark guard of his father before, so how could he not know the appearance and accent of Dafan people? Knowing this, I know that you must have a connection with Dafan. “So that’s it,”

she said bitterly. If I had known this, I should have killed him directly. How could I have left him alive and given him a chance to leave a message for you?

Yes, even though he took poison, he still remembered to leave me the information to protect me for the rest of my life. On the contrary, what about you? I poked her on the sore spot. “Your Saburo loves you so much and takes you back so hard, but is he still the same as before?”? Three palaces, six courtyards, and the whole world, where do you rank in his heart?

Shut up! You shut up!

I just arranged for a palace attendant who pretended to be Yuefei to put on a show at the gate of your palace, and you took the bait. Sure enough, jealousy eats people’s hearts. Do you know why this palace attendant would rather die than frame you? Because one of the palace people you killed was his sister. Speaking of which, you’ve brought it on yourself.

Yunruo climbed up hysterically and rushed at me, but was stopped by Xiaoyuan and pushed down heavily. With a cry of pain,

she lay down and covered her stomach with her hands, and her eyes of hatred were still fixed on me.

“Don’t think you won. I’ll go out again.”

I shook my head and looked at her sympathetically. “You can’t get out. The emperor has given you up.”

She grabbed the floor with five fingers, even though her nails were broken and bleeding, leaving blood stains on the floor, she still tightened her whole body and tried her best to vent her pain. “Impossible, impossible!”

She howled under her breath! I want to see him! I want to see him!

“I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that when you entered the cold palace, the emperor had already decreed that apart from dethroning you as a commoner, you would not be allowed to face the saint for the rest of your life.”

“No!”

At this time, if the cloud really believed my words, it became frightened. She struggled to get up and staggered to run out, but was stopped by several palace people I brought.

Sister! Elder sister She begged me in turn, and her eyes, which had been full of hatred before, were now full of pleading.

I didn’t mean it before! I’m so jealous of you! Will you have pity on me and forgive me for what I have suffered? We are sisters! There are only two of us alive in the whole Yunshi! Will you help me to beg Saburo? Let him see me! Make sure he sees me! Elder sister! Sister Bao’an!

She followed my footsteps and was pushed into the room by the palace people. Instead of responding,

I decided to go straight away, only to hear her shout, “Yun Yiyao!”! I have been pregnant for more than a month! As a queen, how dare you not report to the emperor? How dare you murder a royal heir? Surprised,

I turned around and saw her stroking her stomach with a slightly pleased look. I couldn’t help laughing. “Hung-an, who said you were pregnant?”? Who knew you were pregnant? Hung-an, you must be sure in your next life. Don’t be reincarnated into the royal family. When the

palace locked the door, she knocked on the door and shouted, “Yun Yiyao!”! You owe me, and I’ll get it back even if I become a ghost!

Saburo! Saburo! The cloud is pregnant with your child! I’m pregnant!

Saburo! How can you be so cruel?! As

the roar faded away, Ziluo supported me and said hesitantly, “Empress, you arranged for the little palace attendant that day, but the maidservant didn’t know.”

“I don’t know if I can protect myself on that day. I have to plan for you.” I patted her hand. What’s more, either you die or I live in this harem. You’re not smart enough, and you’re not cruel enough. You have to see it with your own eyes, and you can’t know it until you walk through it.

Ziluo pursed her lips, nodded heavily, and said, “The maidservant knows what the empress has done. Please rest assured.” “In that case,”

I told him with a knowing smile, “you will be responsible for the soup sent to the emperor every day.”

“Yes.”

I walked slowly along the palace road, the evening afterglow still existed, the whole sky became purple, like the days when I secretly left the palace and secretly returned to the palace when I was a teenager.

Before I knew it, I walked to a palace, and the familiar environment stopped me.

I looked up and saw the words “Hall of Reflection of the Sun” hanging on the top of the palace gate. In a trance, I heard the silvery laughter of a young girl and the helpless call of a young man in the hall.

“Princess.”

“If I call you Ah Yan, you have to call me Ah Yao!”

「……」

“Come on!”

“Ah Yao.”

Alas, Ah Yan. The

luxurious hall was lonely and deserted. The cool wind sneaked in through the cracks of the closed doors and windows, shaking the dim lights. The palace attendants could not help dozing in the quiet night.

Suddenly, a footstep broke through the silence of the night, gradually approaching, came to the front of the palace.

“Has the emperor ever woken up today?” The man in

the palace suddenly shivered, and his drowsiness quickly disappeared. He didn’t even dare to look at the man. He quickly crawled on the ground and said with trepidation, “Back, back to the empress..” There has never been.. The

sound of footsteps stayed for a moment, and the people walked slowly into the hall. The palace people breathed a sigh of relief, and when they came to their senses, they found that their backs were covered with cold sweat.

He could not help but look up at the figure dressed in beautiful clothes and decorations, thinking of the rumors in the palace, with a lingering fear. The emperor, who had been ill for a

long time, was lying on his couch, his eyes closed tightly, as if he had been caught by a nightmare, murmuring in his mouth, shaking his head unconsciously, waving his hands in the air and grasping them at random.

Struggling, he seemed to grasp something, heavy eyelids were forced to open at the moment, blurred vision gradually clear, but still covered with a layer of fog, hazy only to see the outline of a woman.

“Ruo’er?” He called softly, his thoughts drifting, but he couldn’t get up, and his throat was dry and sore. Pour me some water..

When the cool water flowed into his mouth, he breathed heavily and tried to pull the woman closer. “Don’t you have to go and marry?”

“Your Majesty!” The woman’s voice was not Yunruo’s. She sighed softly. “You should drink the medicine.”

“Drink the medicine?” His mind was a mess, and his memory was like a fragmented piece of paper, which could not be pieced together. Holding the woman’s hand tightly,

he said sincerely, “I’ve been chasing you for three days and three nights!”! Let’s go together! Shall we go to a place where they will never find it again?

The woman did not speak, he was more anxious, breathing fast, chest issued a wheezing sound, speaking as if exhausted the strength of the whole body, intermittent, and full of energy.

Go.. The Ni family, the Southern Dynasties, we. We don’t care anymore..

After a long time, the woman sighed, “Good.”

Hearing this answer, he smiled contentedly, his eyelids drooped, and he fell into the dream of his youth. In the

dream, Yunruo is in her prime of life. She is lively and lovely, bright and moving. They have been moving around a lot since they were young because of their prominent family background. The elders of the two families are also happy to see that they are in love with each other. The engagement is just a matter of course.

Until, until..

He galloped on horseback in the storm, looking at the distant wedding procession, twisting his eyebrows painfully, and the guards came to stop them, all of which were knocked over by him one by one.

“Ruoer!”! Ruoer!

The roar passed through the rain curtain, and a heart-rending cry came from far away in response to him. In spite of all difficulties and dangers,

he pursued them all the way to the border between the Southern Dynasty and Dafan. For the sake of his father, the garrison general finally arranged for him to meet Yunruo.

At that time, Yunruo’s eyes were red and swollen, his body was thin, and he lived up to the brightness of the past.

She looked at him, her lips trembling, as if she wanted to laugh, but the tears fell first. She wanted to say something again, but her lips were slightly open, but there was a continuous sob.

She turned around and made a cold gesture. “General Ni, you go back!”

Obviously there are thousands of words, but only said these six words. In the cold wind, these six words were like a giant hand gripping his heart, making him breathless with pain.

The setting sun was like blood. He looked at her figure and thought, “I must pick her up!”!

Later, later.. The sound of crying in his

ears woke him up from his dream of swords and swords. The brief sobriety seemed to inject a lot of strength into his body. A concubine beside the bed was the first to find him awake and called in surprise. In a flash

, the imperial concubines and courtiers rushed up.

He only looked at the most luxurious woman in front of the bed and watched her help him sit up and look for the familiar place in her eyes.

But no, she did not have a trace of similarity with Yunruo. She was calm and peaceful, as if nothing could make her pale.

Remembering that she had had a beautiful smile in the only memory he had of her when he was young, he could not help patting her hand and saying, “Queen, you must cultivate Yu-er well.”

She nodded obediently, her eyes as flat as ever, and he felt a little angry in his heart.

He coughed a few times and said to the concubines and courtiers, “I know that the days of this body are numbered. You must assist the prince well.”. In addition, restore the title of the deceased Yunshu’s imperial concubine to the same mausoleum with me!

Everyone was surprised and looked at the queen, but she was not surprised. She only ordered the courtiers in charge of the funeral to do so, and then brought a bowl of soup from the hands of Gong E beside her.

“Your Majesty, you have been asleep for a long time. Use some soup.”

He took one look and saw that it was the soup she had been cooking with her own hands for the past few years, and his heart was somewhat relaxed. Perhaps he was really hungry and finished the soup in a few mouthfuls.

Before long, he was drowsy. All the people

around were prepared and wept bitterly. There was no marriage or rebellion in his dream

this time. He dreamed that he had beaten Dafan at the border. After returning to Beijing, he got his wish and married Yunruo. Crying

all over the sky surrounded the emperor on the couch. The imperial physician announced the death of the emperor in a trembling voice. The queen, who had always been quiet and steady, accidentally broke the bowl. Everyone thought about taking care of the sick emperor and taking care of the court, and lamented the deep feelings of the queen. The maid beside

the empress quickly cleaned up the broken bowls, and after the empress had dealt with all the matters, she said with pity in the absence of others, “Empress, now you are out of the sea of misery.”

The queen gently stroked the jade bracelet between her wrists and lowered her eyelashes. She was obviously a woman in her thirties, but she was so indifferent that she seemed to be out of the world of mortals.

She shook her head and sighed, “Ziluo, you don’t know that the sea of suffering is boundless.” The

vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, and goshawks and wild geese fly over the blue sky from time to time. The bohemian nomads clenched their horses under their seats and galloped with the wind, echoing loud songs and laughter for a long time. In the largest tent in the middle of the

residential area, the faint sound of crying was out of tune with the scenery outside the tent.

“Princess.” Ning Yu sobbed in a low voice, looked at the woman on the ground with heartache, and helped her up. The skin

of suet jade is blue and purple, the beautiful face is red and swollen, and the smart eyes of the past are like a pool of stagnant water, losing their vitality overnight.

Yunruo sat on the ground in a daze, hearing the cries around him more and more sad. She slowly grasped the tattered wedding dress on her body, buried her face between her knees, and could not stop sobbing: “Congealing rain..” I want to go home..

“Princess.” Ning Yu hugged her and wanted to give her all the warmth of her body.

I think my father.. I think Saburo.. The well-fed

girl suffered from this disaster and wanted to die. The servant who had served her since childhood felt the same way. How could she bear to see her wither like this.

“Go home. Let’s go home, princess. Let’s find a way to get home.”

In this way, in the first month of arriving at Dafan, the master and servant began to try to escape.

But how could two sixteen-year-old boudoir girls understand this, not to mention that the territory and national customs of Dafan were very different from those of the Southern Dynasty, and they were soon discovered. The end of

being discovered is naturally the ravage of no pity.

The last time I ran away was when I came to Dafan for more than a year. In these days, Yunruo learned to be obedient. The princess, who was once a favorite in the Southern Dynasties, only knew how to look at people’s eyes and look up to them in a short time. The Khan

of Dafan was happy to give her some dignity, so that her life in a foreign country was finally better.

That day, as usual, Khan held a banquet in the tent, and all the people were full of wine and food. Yunruo served and poured wine beside him. Suddenly, he heard a few people talking under his seat.

“I heard that the Southern Dynasty changed its monarch overnight?”

“It’s Ni Yun, the son of Ni Yu. I’m afraid the dog emperor killed his father. Let him hold a grudge!”

Who can know the death of his father and the writing of our hands? Ha ha ha ha!

Watch out! There’s a Southern Dynasty man in the tent! So what

? It’s just a weak woman clinging to a man!

Saburo became emperor? Saburo became emperor!

Yunruo’s face did not change color, and he returned to his tent with great joy, pacing back and forth with tears in his eyes.

Saburo, will her Saburo think of her? Will you come to pick her up? He

will, he will! In the

following days, she quietly tidied up the gold and silver, waiting for Ni Yun’s arrival.

One month, two months, three months..

No, there was no movement, just like a stone falling into the lake, the lake rippled a few times and returned to calm.

Her mood also changed from expectation to doubt, then to suffering, and finally to resentment.

Did Saburo forget her? Did he become an emperor, with more beauty and power, and no longer need her?

She panicked, if even Sanlang forgot her, then what is the meaning of her life in this world?

She wanted to ask him herself. Was she delayed? Or do you think she’s a broken flower and don’t want her?

Proud self-esteem because of this year’s grinding nothing, and in the repeated struggle to disintegrate, she seemed to split apart, the heart is full of a raging fire, hatred burning more and more.

At this moment, she calmed down and decided to escape again.

This time, she didn’t bring the rain.

She found out Khan’s work and rest and the geographical environment around him, and finally managed to escape three days later.

She rode a horse and dared not rest for a moment, even if it was not a drop of water or a drop of food. The whistling wind in

her ears told the pleasure of freedom. The passage of time made the land of the Southern Dynasty closer and closer. I don’t know how long she ran. At the moment when she saw the lights of her native city in the distance, she couldn’t help crying out. The joy of

that moment was brief, and the next second the arrow from the air pierced her back shoulder. The

intense pain caused her to loosen the reins and fall off the horse uncontrollably. Then

she opened her eyes and returned to the familiar tent. Failed

again.

Seeing the livid Khan, she closed her eyes, unexpectedly without the despair of being discovered before, and the fire in her heart strongly conveyed her desire to live, which gave her unprecedented faith.

Live, she must live, return to the Southern Dynasty, see Sanlang!

Perhaps fate was finally willing to favor her, Khan believed her tearful nonsense, and rewarded the two concubines who had been framed by her to encourage her to escape to her subordinates. She was warned by words, and when she saw her clever response, she would not pursue it.

Of course, Khan is for the sake of her pregnancy.

This child inherited the tenacious vitality of the great clan, even if she fell from the horse, she still stayed firmly in her belly.

After this time, although the escape failed, the lights that came into her eyes that night appeared in her dream all the time, making her faith more unshakable.

Since then, she has learned to hide her heart, how to please men more quickly, how to compete for favor among many women, and how to improve her status. As her

belly grew bigger and bigger, the number of times Khan stayed in her tent gradually decreased. In addition, other tribes offered several beauties. Khan loved her so much that he seemed to forget her. The neglect of the people around him also increased.

She couldn’t stand it, and finally one day, she lured Khan into the tent to get drunk, learning the way the nobles of the Southern Dynasty managed the backyard from generation to generation, and left the rain in the tent.

She did not care to think about the mood of Ning Yu, in her view, Ning Yu is her servant after all, in this situation, Ning Yu should understand her pains.

Later, although Ning Yu did not say anything, he was separated from her visibly. The night she

gave birth, she wanted to faint and never wake up, but when she thought of Sanlang’s face, the fire in her chest supported her to clench her teeth and give birth to the baby.

The child was only one month old, and the regime of Dafan was in turmoil. Khan’s second son killed his father and seized power, killing his adult brother.

Looking at the young man with the knife, Yunruo knew that his chance had come.

She advised him that she could get the support of the Southern Dynasty to help him stabilize the regime.

The second prince stroked her face with a little infatuation in his eyes. Beauty and Dafan, he wants both.

She finally got in touch with the Southern Dynasty, and finally let the emissary with a token and her feelings, presented to Ni Yun.

The second prince got his wish to stabilize the vassal and became the new Khan, but he did not expect that the condition of the Southern Dynasty was to return to Yunruo.

In order to tie her down, he detained her son and Ning Yu’s son in Dafan, and threatened them to secretly pass on information for him. If

the cloud does not care, what conditions she agrees, she will soon step on the way home, open and aboveboard back to the Southern Dynasty! On the day of

departure, it was late autumn, the grassland was withered and yellow, the sky was overcast, a few wild geese flew over, and the howling wind blew her dress. The son, who was less than one year old, seemed to feel the difference, cried loudly and stretched out his hand to Yunruo.

Looking at her little son, she could not help stepping forward, but remembering the past, she turned around with red eyes and gritted her teeth, and strode forward. Even if her youngest son cried loudly behind her, she would not look back.

Southern Dynasty, I’m back.

Saburo, I’m back!
