Dai Ziling

Chapter 85 I am myself

The main hall of Xiangkun Palace.

The queen held Zixi's hand, feeling very distressed.

"Girl, you finally thought of visiting Bengong?"

"Hey, I'm busy investigating the truth..."

After carefully looking at it, the queen frowned:
"Why did you lose weight? I said that Xinruo can't take care of you alone, but you just don't want a servant! I know you are afraid of being distracted by people, but you can't wrong yourself like this!"

"No wronged, no wronged, very comfortable, don't worry about me, I am already very satisfied to have a place to live."

This girl disdains glory, doesn't want to be happy, and only wants to relieve our mother and son's worries, hey!Stroking a few messy hairs on Zixi's eyebrows, the queen couldn't bear it:

"Son, it's really hard for you... I'm really in a situation where I can't do what I want, but as long as I can do it, I will spare no effort to support you!"

The queen didn't know what King Nandan had arranged for Teng Xuanyi... Maybe she thought that only those princes were trying to block Teng Xuanyi's way to the throne!As far as she is concerned, King Nandan has a grudge against the birth mothers of every prince, because he is afraid that the power behind them will increase... Seizing the throne is the number one taboo in the king's heart!

Looking at the empty hall, Zixi whispered into the queen's ear, "Do you want him to get that position?"

"I want to, and I don't want to."

"Ok?"

Gently patted Zixi's hand, the queen smiled without saying a word, and led her to sit down in front of the tea table, warming utensils, setting tea, high brewing, low brewing, pear fragrance overflowing.

"Come on, try it."

The warm fragrance is on the face, and the heart is fast; the sweetness flows into the mouth, and the mind is instantly clear.

"Queen, how do you know I like this kind of tea?"

"Naturally, someone with a heart told me."

His cheeks flushed slightly, and his heart beat a little faster. Although he had guessed it was him, for some reason, the queen's joking tone made him feel a little shy.

"Uh...you just said, think, don't think, what do you mean?" After flicking her hair twice, Zixi hurriedly changed the subject.

The gentle eyes gradually became indifferent, as if the clear sky was slowly shrouded in haze, dim and depressing, almost on the verge of despair.

Looking down at the cup of tea, the crown on her head was reflected in it, shining brightly, rubbing her sore shoulders, the queen's face became more and more serious.

"As a mother, I just want my child to be safe, happy, and worry-free. That position is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I don't want him to come close. However, being in an honorable position also has a responsibility to the common people in the world. Yi'er Zhaixin Benevolent, upright, if he is king, he will definitely put the people of Li people first... Oh, it really makes people tangled!"

It turns out that regardless of high or low, rich or poor, as long as you are a human being, you have your own troubles!Gorgeous palace, beautiful clothes, noble status, endless glory... This woman seems to have everything, but at the same time, all kinds of melancholy and helplessness follow.

I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but then I thought about it, this woman has gone through countless storms, why doesn't she understand why?
Raising her hand, and gently stroking the cold emeralds on the queen's hair, Zixi's heart felt a little bit of sympathy:
"Everything has a fixed number, we will do our best, don't worry, trust Teng Xuanyi, he will take care of everything, really!"

The gleam in her eyes reappeared, and the queen nodded with satisfaction: "With you by Yi'er's side, even if something happens to my palace, I can go to hell with peace of mind."

Only now did Zixi suddenly realize the meaning of "power" - it can make people cover the sky with one hand, and can also control people's lives at will!

"Queen, you have to cheer up. No matter who you are, whether it's Teng Xuanyi's mother or the mother of this country, first of all, you are yourself!"

I am myself……

Looking at the blooming girl in front of her in surprise, her words seemed like a blow to the head, making the Queen's mind reproduce every bit of her past.

Once upon a time, I put up my skirt and played among the flowers, chasing the colorful butterflies, dreaming that one day I could grow old together with the same heart; Heart, as clear and bright as crystal...

People always forget themselves as they walk.

"Let's not talk about Teng Xuanyi, are you really willing to let others control your own destiny? When you encounter an accident and go to the underworld, knowing that there is an invisible thread leading you to the bottomless abyss, are you really willing?"

Her complexion returned from surprise to calm, and Zixi's words completely broke the confinement of the Queen's heart: I am unwilling!

"Wei'er, I know what to do. Don't worry, I will never follow in the footsteps of Concubine Zhao and Concubine Jing!"

Smiling in satisfaction, Zixi suddenly remembered another important thing:
"Concubine Zhao is the biological mother of the third prince, and Concubine Jing...is the biological mother of the second prince. Needless to say, Concubine Jin, Queen, what about the biological mothers of the eldest prince and fifth prince?"

"They? Both of them were born to Concubine Shu, but after giving birth to the fifth prince, Concubine Shu died of blood collapse..."

Oh?Brother?How come no one told me!Could it be that the two brothers conspired?However, the fifth prince doesn't look like someone with such deep scheming...

Was it God's will or man's will to die from blood collapse?
"Queen, do you think this matter is strange?"

"I don't know, that night, Ben Gong and Concubine Shu started their babies at the same time, so they were not there..."

"Could it be that Teng Xuanyi and Teng Xuanchun were born on the same day?"

"Well, it's less than a cup of tea around the time of their birth. What's the matter?"

This... seems to be nothing strange, but why do I always feel that something is wrong...

Seeing Zixi stunned, the queen carefully recalled the scene that night, saying that there was a vision in the sky when the fourth prince was born. This... I always thought it was a flattering statement from everyone, and the destiny belongs to me. Will Your Majesty be over-hearted... …

"Queen, give Yuelu to me. In the past few days, something important will happen in the imperial palace. Don't panic. Soldiers will come to block you, and everything will be covered by water and earth."

This girl has a calmness and courage that doesn't match her age. How could a girl from a small town be so shrewd and capable...

"What are you going to do? Yi'er is still in the barracks at the moment, should we send someone to deliver a letter and discuss it with him?"

Uh, King Nandan deliberately transferred Teng Xuanyi and the others to Xiangkun Palace, just to wait to catch the mother and son's pigtails. If he told the Queen about Yirong staying behind, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss in case she was in a hurry to reveal her secrets?

"I think... it's better not to let him worry about it. It's not too late to talk about it when the truth comes out."

Her eyes are shining, she is firm and confident, this girl seems to have a kind of magical power, which can calm her flustered heart:
"Okay! Just do as you said, Yue Lu is in the secret room, you can ask Xin Ruo to take her there later."

It feels so good to be trusted!
Hey, with a wife and a son, what did that old man Nandan Wang think?Suspicious of this, suspicious of that, as the lord of the country, he doesn't think about how to benefit the people, and all his thoughts are on how to keep his throne. Even those soldiers who protect the country and defend the land have almost become his power seekers. Victim... Stinky old man, I pulled out your beard sooner or later!
At the border, the Huoyu Second Battalion arrived.

Unlike the imagined gunpowder and smoke, the flames of war are raging, the surrounding area is empty, and the atmosphere is a little weird. At the same time, they glanced at the hills not far away. , the soldiers of the Fire Feather Battalion had a dark light flashing in their hearts, and in the blink of an eye, their horses turned their backs and fell into chaos...
