Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 213

Empress Ning paused, without much hesitation, she stepped forward and knelt beside Qi Yanyan.

When the empress knelt down, the other concubines and palace people didn't dare to stand anymore, they all knelt down and knelt on the ground.

It was only at this time that Qi Yanyan's face became turbulent, and she kowtowed heavily and said: "Your Majesty, the empress's phoenix body must not be damaged, and please don't anger the empress."

Her forehead was on the ground for a long time, and she felt a severe burning pain. She seemed to smell the burnt skin.

After all, the empress is weak and can't stand such a torment. If something happens, Xuan Su can't explain it to the two empress dowagers.

"Go inside and kneel."

Under the emperor's order, several concubines helped the queen to go inside.

Qi Yanyan was the last to stand up.As soon as he stood up and took a look into the hall, he fell to the ground without warning.
-
Waking up in a strange side hall.

Looking at this simple decoration, it doesn't look like any side hall in Qionghua Palace.

There is no one around.

She opened her eyes and was stunned for a while, until the door of the palace opened, and a somewhat familiar court lady came in empty-handed.

"The emperor summoned the concubine Yan."

As soon as he woke up, he was eager to ask the teacher for his crime.

Qi Yanyan stood up and asked, "Is Prince Heng out of danger?"

"Your Majesty, the servants don't know."

Qi Yanyan glanced at her, didn't ask any more questions, and followed her.

In the Tai Chi Hall.

As soon as she knelt down, she felt the heart-piercing pain on her knee, which made her almost stand up.

After waiting for more than half an hour, she thought she couldn't hold on, and was about to faint again when the emperor came over.

A pair of black golden boots embroidered with dragon patterns stepped into the eyes.

"In order to kill Jingwan, you don't hesitate to let his life hang by a thread?"

Qi Yanyan said: "The hand belongs to Jiang Jingwan, if she wants to push the prince, how could it be that I want to kill her?"

Xuan Su said coldly: "She has no enmity with Prince Heng, and she has no motive for doing so."

"Do I have a motive?"

"You have, you hate him for giving up on you."

Qi Yanyan thought it was quite funny.If Xuan Jing gave up on her, then she could just marry someone else. She never believed that Xuan Jing had to be him, and she would not keep chastity for him.

What's there to hate?

"Jiang Jingwan believes everything the emperor says, and I have such a great ability to bring her and Prince Heng together, control her hand, and push Prince Heng down..."

"He jumped into the river by himself," Xuan Su said coldly, "He used such a cruel trick to get rid of Jing Wan for you."

Qi Yanyan couldn't help laughing.

"Just now I said that I hated him and wanted him to die, but now I say that he jumped by himself, does the emperor really think that he will use his life to fulfill me?"

Xuan Su pinched her chin, bloodshot eyes appeared slightly.

"Your mother died unjustly. I pity you and protect you. I understand how you hate the Jiang family. You caused Jing Wan to have two miscarriages and made her infertile for the rest of her life. I won't let you investigate and turn a blind eye. You are not enough, and you are getting worse. , even I dare to calculate!"

Others would not think that Jiang Jingwan had any personal enmity with Prince Heng.

They would only take it for granted that Jiang Jingwan, as the emperor's beloved concubine, relieved the emperor's worries and was willing to sacrifice herself, that's why she pushed the prince into the water.

After all, there is nothing in the world that fears Prince Heng more than the emperor who has no real power.

Qi Yanyan's chin was pinched painfully, she endured it, frowned and said: "There are not many people who know about Prince Heng's physical condition, but the Empress Dowager knows it well."

Those who don't know will think that Prince Heng is a threat from the emperor, but those who know know that there is nothing like that.

With such a sick and weak body, Prince Heng couldn't be crowned a great treasure at all, so why should the emperor regard him as a thorn in his side.

Xuan Su sullenly said: "The Empress Dowager Yu knows what's the use of it. After all, Jing Wan did the thing. I loved Jing Wan in the past, so how can the Empress Dowager Yu not anger me?"

Qi Yanyan looked up at him, her pale lips opened and closed.

"I don't want to condemn me like this. The emperor took me to the Queen Mother, and I can confront Jiang Jingwan. When Prince Heng wakes up, he will also..."

"He can still wake up?" Xuan Su said in a harsh tone, "It's the last breath left, and the birthday materials of Prince Heng's residence are all prepared, do you want to go and see?"

Qi Yanyan opened her mouth to refute something, but her throat seemed to be choked and she couldn't make any sound.

Xuan Su let go of his hand.

She lost control, her body went limp, her hands rested on the ground, her breathing was stagnant, the hot red on her forehead was the only blood on her face.

No, if Xuan Jing really died, the emperor would not have time to interrogate her here alone.

They are brothers after all, the emperor only has such an elder brother, and Xuan Jing only has such a younger brother.

Even if the brotherhood is not deep, for such a big event, the emperor will always accompany the queen mother to take care of her emotions.

He was lying, he was scaring her, maybe just to see her reaction.

Cursing my brother like this is considered vicious.

Qi Yanyan knelt up again, and said calmly: "The emperor did not guess wrong, I hate Prince Heng. However, I don't hate him for abandoning me, but hate him for plotting against me. That day in Changchun Palace, he said, The matter of Qingliang Pavilion was all done by him, and he did it in order to marry Tang Qingyun."

The girl who was with Xuan Jing in Qingliang Pavilion was Tang Qingyun, no matter what happened or not, it would ruin her girl's reputation. In the past two days, there have been news that the two are going to get married.

This was the biggest change after Mi Qingxiang's incident, and Qi Yanyan let it happen naturally.

Xuan Su stood in front of her with a long body, staring closely at her face.

"With his physical condition, what kind of wife will he marry?"

There was a bit of contempt and a bit of ridicule in this tone, which made Qi Yanyan feel particularly uncomfortable.

The relationship between their brothers was obviously very good.

No matter how deep the festival has happened, people are like that now, so he doesn't think about brotherhood half the time?
Sure enough, in the emperor's family, there are no brothers.

Qi Yanyan said: "As long as it's a man, it's not very common for him to want to marry a wife? The imperial doctor didn't say that he must be hopeless, so he must not give up on himself."

This reason is not convincing.

Xuan Su snorted lightly, disapproving.

Qi Yanyan said again: "It turns out that the emperor never believed me."

Fortunately, she never believed his affectionate appearance.She never forgot that the person in front of her was the emperor.

Xuan Su was silent for a long time, looking at her with a gloomy expression, his gaze slowly fell from her forehead to her knee.

Qi Yanyan moved her knee because of the pain, the movement was very small, but it didn't help.

Xuan Su withdrew his gaze, and said coldly, "I'm not going to take this as an example."

The next is not an example, but it is not believed this time.

Qi Yanyan still didn't get up, as if she was obsessed with her innocence.

"If you love to kneel, just kneel."

After Xuan Su said the cold words, he ignored her and strode away.

The door of the temple opened, and the light shone in.

Qi Yanyan looked back, as if she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, looking at the wide open door, her eyes hurt a little.

It's no surprise, the emperor is almost like that.

For the sake of power, no one can harm his interests if he can calculate the mother who raised him carefully.
