As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 69
"Concubine Shu, Li'er's life experience is floating, meeting the prince has been a blessing in eight lifetimes, why don't the concubine talk to the concubine about the prince, so that it can be comforted."

Akiba Rika wiped away her tears pretendingly, with a sad expression that was irresistible.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu sighed deeply, her gaze was far away, as if her thoughts suddenly returned to the long years spent in the palace when she was young.

"The first emperor was graceful and graceful, he also helped the world. He was a rare wise emperor, but in order to stabilize the court, he had to take concubines as usual to fill the harem."

Concubine Shu's tone was slow, she spoke unhurriedly, and Qiu Yeli was not in a hurry, listening to her memories quietly.

"Sister Mei and I entered the palace at the same time, oh, that is, Shen Shi, the biological mother of King Luo. At that time, there were many concubines in the palace, and most of them had prominent families. Favored face naturally aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of the concubines. Sister Mei has a calm and easy-going temperament. Fortunately, she soon became pregnant with Dragonborn, but she was even more careful, but she still didn't talk about the poisonous hands of those thieves. , due to a mistake made by Mrs. Wen during childbirth, resulting in dystocia."

Although these years have passed, when talking about the situation at that time, Concubine Shu was always angry and painful in her heart. She hated that she couldn't help much, and could only watch the beauty fade away.

Qiu Yeli was also a little moved, seeing Concubine Shu's tears, she couldn't bear it.

"Sister Mei used all her strength to give birth to Yao'er, but she passed away."

"What about the late emperor? This is also his child." Qiu Yeli didn't answer slightly, even though he was the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces, but Gu Jingyao was his own child anyway, so he should ignore it?
"The emperor is a wise king, but he is so devoted to government affairs that he has no time to care about the jealousy of the women in the harem. What's more, there are so many beautiful concubines, so he has no way of knowing whether he still remembers Sister Mei." Taifei Shu laughed at herself. Hooking his lips, he said coldly.

"When Sister Mei was dying, she entrusted Yao'er to me, hoping that I would protect her well, but my status was not enough to raise the emperor's heir, so the queen entrusted Yao'er to the care of the then Concubine Shu, who already had her own family. The prince, that is, the current emperor, naturally cannot devote himself to Yao'er."

Qiu Yeli nodded, but she had heard a little bit about it. A child who did not have the blessing of his mother and the emperor's favor survived in the palace. One can imagine how much unspeakable suffering he suffered.

"I can only watch one or two secretly, and I can't do anything. Fortunately, Yao'er is doing well. Even though she is bullied and scolded, her homework is exceptionally good. She stands out among the few princes, and His Majesty appreciates it very much."

Xu Shi hadn't said so many words for a long time, Concubine Shu drank the whole cup of tea a little thirsty, and then said, "The so-called big tree attracts the wind, and Yao'er's diligence and talent have also attracted the envy of everyone, especially Shu Noble concubine, the former queen had nothing to do, she wholeheartedly hoped that her son could inherit the throne, so she united with the courtiers to make things difficult for Yao'er, and finally made the emperor angry and stopped loving Yao'er."

"What happened later? The emperor's ascension to the throne was also granted by the former emperor himself?" Qiu Yeli stared closely at Concubine Shu. If she guessed correctly, according to Gu Jingcheng's attitude, Concubine Shu must have crucial evidence in her hands.

Perhaps the former emperor preferred another candidate for the new emperor, but why did Concubine Shu hide it and not want to say it?
Before Qiu Yeli could wait for Concubine Shu to speak, the maid at the door hurried in, looked at Qiu Yeli, and shouted, "Princess Luo, Luoyang's army has returned to the imperial court, and they are receiving the people outside the city gate." Pilgrimage!"

"??" Qiu Yeli frowned, how could it be so fast?It seems that Gu Jingcheng couldn't wait to get the news that Gu Jingyao died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country!

"Li'er." Concubine Shu looked excited. She had been trapped in the palace for a long time, so she naturally wanted to meet Gu Jingyao. He was Sister Mei's only flesh and blood in this world.

"Don't worry, Concubine, I will definitely find a way to get him to lift your ban in front of the emperor, so that you can enjoy your old age peacefully. I think this is also what His Royal Highness Luo wants."

Qiu Yeli's eyes were firm, she signaled the maid to let Concubine Shu take the medicine, and said in a steady voice.

"I'm getting old, and I'm dying everywhere. I just hope that Yao'er is safe and sound. When I go down, I'll have the face to face my sister."

Concubine Shu sighed. From Qiu Yeli's words, she already understood that Gu Jingyao's death in battle might have other reasons. She felt relieved that the secret she had kept for half her life might not need to be brought into the soil.

"Take good care of the concubine." Qiu Yeli bowed her head and gave instructions to the maid.

"Yes, empress, don't worry." The maid responded.

Stepping out of the threshold, Qiu Yeli went straight to the palace gate, perhaps the whole palace had heard the news, on the palace road, there was a row of maids in twos and threes, sparse and hurried.

Relying on memory, Qiu Yeli quickened her pace and walked all the way on the wall of Zhigong. Looking down, the army of the Li Dynasty was uniform, but it was obvious that they had won the battle, but there was no smile on the faces of the soldiers, and their faces were gloomy.

The leading soldier carried a red solid wooden coffin, engraved with a bright yellow python totem, and marched into the city with heavy and powerful steps.

The people also suppressed the excitement in their hearts, lowered their heads, and even shed tears, for the little prince who died in the battle for the Li Dynasty.

Qiu Yeli looked at this scene with a frown. Although she had learned about it in advance, she still couldn't help but her eyes turned red when she saw such a scene.

"Your Majesty Jin'an, I returned to the court with the body of His Royal Highness King Luo and returned to the court. Tens of thousands of Xianbei enemy troops have been wiped out and the border has been conquered."

Little General Zhao's dark cheeks were dry and chapped after being baptized by the wind and frost on the frontier, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Open the city gate!" Gu Jingcheng looked calm, as if he was really sad for his brother who died in battle.

"Open the city gate and welcome the coffin!" Jin Bao's thin voice rang out on the city wall, and Gu Jing'an, who hadn't shown her face for a long time, leaned against Li Wang and cried sadly.

"Brother Jingyao, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow,

Li Wang patted the woman's back soothingly, and said softly, "Jing'an, don't cry, third brother definitely doesn't want to see you like this."

"Wuuuwu, the fifth brother and the third brother loved me the most since he was a child, he is still so young." Gu Jingan cried and trembled, leaning weakly in Li Wang's arms.

King Li comforted his little sister, and looked at the side face of Emperor Gu Jingcheng with serious eyes, with a complicated expression on his face, he knew very well in his heart that all of this had nothing to do with him.

Gu Jing'an straightened up, and glanced at Qiu Yeli who was looking at the army below in a daze by the city wall. She couldn't bear the grief and anger in her heart anymore, and pushed Li Wang away and rushed over.
