Zhen Huan stood up, looked at Wen Shichu and shouted sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Her voice was shrill and broken, "How can you curse him like this? Curse the father of my child!"

Wen Shichu had tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness, but he still continued: "Huan'er, the water in the Yellow River is so fast that even the iron boat was broken into pieces. Even if the body is found, it will not be recognized."

Zhen Huan listened blankly, but her heart was so painful that it was almost numb. It was like a dull knife sharply grinding her heart, until the flesh and blood were bruised and dripping with blood: "He is dead? Didn't he even see him for the last time?" She said Listening to Wen Shichu's advice that "people cannot be resurrected after death", he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly, "Impossible, this is impossible..."

The exclamations of Liu Zhu and Cui Jinxi rang in her ears, but Zhen Huan had never been so awake before. She keenly smelled the smell of conspiracy, and murmured with difficulty suppressing her cries: "Everything is fine, why did the boat capsize? Why? Can’t even find the body?”

"Actually, the wreckage of the ship he was on has been found. There is nothing wrong with the hull." Wen Shichu supported Zhen Huan, his voice was damp and depressed, "It's just that the bottom of the ship was not made of iron nails, but Use raw rubber and rope glue to tie them together. Once the boat is driven in the water, the raw rubber and rope will break apart and the boat will sink."

Zhen Huan's eyes were blurred with tears and she shook her head vigorously: "That ship was dispatched by the government. It shouldn't be like this."

"Yes, there was no problem with the boat when we went there. According to the shipbuilders, although the hull is no different from the one they built, the bottom of the boat is different. It can be seen that the boat was adjusted when it was parked on the bank of the Yellow River. He took the bag and moved his hands and feet." Wen Shichu nodded and said.

Zhen Huan's eyes became clearer little by little. She slowly straightened up while holding Cui Jinxi's hand. She was frightened and became more miserable at the same time: "Who wants to harm him? Who wants to harm him!" She already had a vague answer in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.

The emperor has always been very kind to Yunli, he shouldn't be so cruel!
In the cooling terrace, Meng Jingxian gathered up her thick cloak, slowly took a sip of hot tea, looked up at the starless night sky, and counted with her fingers: "Your Majesty should have arrived at Zhungar by now, right?" , I hope the negotiations will go smoothly."

"Miss Meng, the prince said that he must tell the lady at Ling Yunfeng that he faked his death and escaped to Junggar. Wouldn't it be bad to keep it secret like this?" Jiang Caiping was a little flustered, and it was rare that she mustered up the courage to take the initiative to talk to him. Meng Jingxian spoke.

Meng Jingxian's face darkened, but she didn't get angry. She just put down the tea cup in her hand calmly, looked at Jiang Caiping and asked, "That Lady Mochou has been staying at Qingliangtai for a while, and she has made you and her feel sympathetic." , compared to me, you should be more willing to let her be the owner of the cooling table, right?"

"I don't dare." Jiang Caiping immediately knelt down.

Meng Jingxian didn't ask her to get up, and just continued: "It doesn't matter. If Lady Mochou really loves the prince, even if she knows that the prince is 'dead', she should stay in Lingyun Peak wholeheartedly to guard the prince's integrity. If she really can Once I get to this point, I will quit willingly." She lowered her eyebrows forbearingly, her eyes filled with indifference.

She really didn't want to watch the prince give up the great cause that he had planned for many years for Zhen Huan, so she did not hesitate to drag her sick body to catch up with him on the way to Yunnan and Tibet, begging hard, this opportunity was really rare, if she could second Jung Geer's Wouldn’t it be more likely to win with military strength?With the prince's ability, negotiating with Zhun Geer would be a piece of cake.

Meng Jingxian's eyes flickered slightly, and she also thought about it in her heart.

As long as the prince succeeds in his ambition, he will never forget her. When the time comes, there will still be a place for her by his side. Over the years, she will not believe that he cannot defeat Zhen Huan!

She pulled hard on the brocade handkerchief in her hand, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

Winter has come, and it snows day after day in the palace. The sky-high snow covers the Forbidden City, making people breathless. People in the palace are cautious and don't dare to breathe, for fear that the master will be unhappy and punish them.

Someone in the palace saw the third elder brother walking into Jingren Palace and hurriedly turned around to convey the news to Weiyang Palace.

After An Lingrong heard this, he just turned a page of the scripture with a calm expression, said "reward" to Dill, and the man went down happily holding the reward.

"Concubine Qi committed suicide and should not have been buried in such a dignified manner. However, the empress interceded and the emperor allowed her to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum. This can be regarded as saving the face of the third elder brother." Dill replied calmly and solemnly to Anling. Rong, when he said this, he couldn't help but smile a little, "The queen really worked hard to win over the third elder brother."

"It's a pity that what she asked for will not come true after all." An Lingrong twisted the Buddhist beads with one hand and flipped through the scriptures with the other. There was no expression on his face, "What's going on at Yikun Palace?"

"Concubine Min ate the chestnut cake sent by Concubine Qi, and the child died that night. The redness has not stopped in the past half month, and it turned into a mountain of blood." Dill glanced at An Lingrong's face and said slowly , "The cardamom medicine was mixed into the tonic she used to make Xiaoyue. The method used by the Yu family was the same as when she murdered Wanbi. They didn't notice it at all."

An Lingrong hummed quietly and continued reading in silence.

Dill looked at An Lingrong's increasingly thin profile, and her awe for her grew even more.

The current An Lingrong is like a volcano that has been silent for many years and is about to erupt. The deep power is revealed. Just sitting there cross-legged is enough to make people tremble and bow their heads.

Perhaps it was because her smiling appearance was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, or perhaps because the contrast between approachable and imposing was too strong. Dill occasionally felt that there was a disharmonious separation between reality and memories, and she could not tell the difference. Which one is An Lingrong's disguise, or both are the real An Lingrong.

She calmly fired an arrow and easily knocked off the queen's two chess pieces.

Dill looked at the crackling charcoal fire in the brazier, and her memory flashed back to a month ago...

"I would like to express my regards to the Queen, and to all my sisters." Ye promised to come dressed in green clothes and stood in the center of the hall and gave a big salute to the Queen.

The Queen stood up with a calm look and said: "You have been in the palace for so long, and I have never seen you, so I have to invite you to come here today to get together with the sisters in the palace." She held the tea cup and drank the tea. Gai brushed away the tea smoke and said, "Concubine Rong is seriously ill and can't get up. Concubine Duan has always been in poor health. Except for the two of them, all the sisters in the palace are here today. Please see them one by one." "Your Majesty knows that I have a cold temper. I don't like to move around, so I don't have to pay homage to each palace, and I hope all sisters will forgive me." Ye promised to straighten his back and look forward, his cold eyes falling on the queen's face, which was peaceful and solemn.

"Although the Emperor is considerate, the Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace. Why don't you come to see her for so long?" Qi Concubine had already received the Queen's signal, and today she must give Ye promised a blow. After hearing this, she immediately criticized her.

Ye promised to raise the end of his eyes slightly, and there was a bit of sharp sarcasm in his words: "If you really respect me in your heart, you don't have to see me every day." In one sentence, Qi concubine was blocked from coming to the stage, and Ye promised to follow closely. Then he said, "Besides, among the people sitting in this hall, who knows who is telling the truth?"

Ye's promise was like tearing away a fig leaf for everyone, killing those vain flatteries and flatteries with one stick. The first one to bear the brunt was Concubine Qi. She had been trying to please the queen more and more recently, just to be able to hold San'a firmly. Brother, but she also had her own little thoughts in her heart. When she heard Ye Zhengsheng say this, she felt extremely guilty.

Trying to restrain her expression, Concubine Qi said coldly: "What do you mean by this? Who among these six palaces does not sincerely admire the Queen?"

The queen gave Concubine Qi a meaningful look.

Concubine Qi thought she was well disguised, but she didn't know that her guilty conscience had already been seen through by the queen.

Ye Zhengyi didn't expect to catch someone out with just a few words, but he didn't expect that someone would be so stupid. He rushed to jump into the trap. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. He shot back at Concubine Qi and said: "Sincerely, such words are spoken casually." Does it count if you talk about it?”

"You!" Concubine Qi had a look on her face and pointed at Ye Wensheng's incoherent words, "Queen, look, look at Ye Wensheng..." Her fingers were trembling with anger and she glared at Ye Wensheng, "You are really too arrogant. What's the difference between this and the concubine who was deposed in the past?" Her status as a concubine was actually so ironic for a little promise.

Hearing this familiar name, Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment, his hands moved, and the tea lid clicked crisply on the tea cup. Concubine Jing raised her head and glanced at Concubine Qi, with an inexplicable look in her eyes. Qi Concubine's scalp tightened, unnaturally Turned his head away.

Concubine Qi was still gushing: "You just agreed, but you are so arrogant. Even when the imperial concubine was in great favor, you have never been so arrogant. You have always been respectful to the empress. You Not bad..."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more stagnant.

Concubine Min's hair stood on end almost instantly, she was guarding her stomach and her whole body was on guard, her pupils shrank in response. Concubine Zhen's face was also extremely ugly, and she hurriedly drank tea to cover it up. Lady Jade quietly raised her head to look at the queen, Then he looked at Min Bin again, his eyes filled with distress.

The queen's face darkened slightly, but she felt slightly uneasy in her heart.

The queen didn't know where this uneasiness came from. Without her health, An Lingrong became depressed and depressed. She hid in Weiyang Palace all day looking at things and thinking about people. In less than a month, she lost weight. But the more this happened, the more the queen felt that she was holding back, fearing she would retaliate in the future.

Not enough.

The queen caressed the armor of her little finger, her eyes filled with sinister solemnity.

Concubine Qi took a breath, and Concubine Qi spoke again. Ye promised to be too lazy to listen any more, and saluted casually: "The Queen, I wish you a happy life. If the Queen has nothing else to do, I will treat you as my concubine today." I have paid my respects, and I will take my leave first." After saying that, he knelt down and paid his respects.

Concubine Qi was extremely angry, but the queen, on the other hand, did not speak during the whole process. When Ye agreed to leave, she slowly scolded Concubine Qi: "She did nothing wrong, why are you angry?"

"There has never been such a rebellious person among these six palaces!" Concubine Qi was still furious and wished she could throw Ye Promise into the cold palace immediately.

"It will happen from now on." The queen said coldly, "It's getting late today, so everyone should disperse."

Everyone stood up and left, leaving Concubine Qi alone.

"Empress, in the past it was understandable that Concubine Wan would be arrogant because of her favor. Now it is Concubine Rong who has the right to be arrogant and domineering. This Ye Zheng is nothing. She is just a slave girl with extremely low status. How dare she do that? Show off your power in front of the Queen." Concubine Qi spoke angrily.

The queen sat crookedly on the couch and said with a sneer: "She used to be a lowly slave girl, but now she is the emperor's favorite person. If she gives birth to a prince in the future, it will be unreasonable for the mother to be superior to you and me because of her noble son." Something you can only imagine.”

"She alone can give birth to a prince?" Concubine Qi sneered.

"With her favor today, it's only a matter of time before she has a prince, just look at Concubine Min." The Queen lightly aroused Concubine Qi's sense of crisis, "She is so young, and Cheng Chong became pregnant within a year. Relying on this child, the emperor even forgave her for indirectly causing Ankang's death. Ye Zheng is now at the forefront of the emperor's heart. If she really has a child, the third elder brother will have another strong opponent. "

Concubine Qi suddenly became nervous and her eyes began to dodge.

"Last time you used longan and safflower soup to murder the noble lady Cheng Qiangong Wan, do you remember?" The queen slowly talked about the past, and Concubine Qi was shocked.
