Concubine Qi immediately knelt down towards the queen, her voice trembling: "Queen, my concubine..."

"I have promised to keep a secret for you, and I will definitely stick to it." The queen interrupted her and guided her with a hint of confusion, "Some things must be taken precautions before they happen. At that time, Mr. Wan Gui was too pampered and was unique in the world. Lin, but now, Ye Wenxing has just entered the palace, and Concubine Min is pregnant and has stolen the limelight, so she doesn't seem so prominent."

Concubine Qi was confused when she heard this, and her face was full of confusion.

"Please think carefully about what I'm saying. It's not for my sake, but for your third elder brother to never have any future troubles." The queen held Jian Qiu's hand and stood up to leave, leaving Concubine Qi alone to think hard.

It was so quiet in Jingren Palace that you could hear the sound of a pin falling to the ground. Concubine Qi knelt and thought for a long time before leaving step by step with Cui Guo's support. Along the way, her mind was still spinning about the Queen's feelings for her. the words said.

Did the Empress want her to go all out and administer medicine to cut off the fertility that Ye promised?The last time she attacked Wan Gui, it was so dangerous that the Queen had to cover it up for her. This time, it was just a promise, and the Queen would definitely keep her safe.What's more, there is also Min Bin - Ye can't give birth if she can't give birth, but at least there is still a child in Min Bin's belly!

Concubine Qi couldn't help but feel eager to give it a try. The more she thought about it, the more it seemed like this, but in the blink of an eye, she frowned again.

What should I do?

She looked up at the white flowers that were about to bloom on the branches and felt troubled for a moment.

"Greetings to Concubine Qi, may you wish me all the best." A little palace maid came over with an obedient look on her face. After Concubine Qi stood up, she leaned closer and whispered softly, "My concubine, the oleander is about to die. You'd better stand farther away, the pollen and juice of this flower are poisonous, and it will be bad if the queen eats it by mistake."

Hearing this, Concubine Qi hurriedly took two steps back: "Really?"

The little palace maid pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, my hometown is rich in oleander, so I know it. This oleander blooms in June and succumbs in October. Although it has the effect of removing blood stasis and relieving pain, it is cold and poisonous, causing damage to the body." The fetus is sad. In the slave's hometown, pregnant women would stay far away from the oleander and would not dare to come near it at all."

Concubine Qi's heart suddenly became brighter and she couldn't stop staring at the oleander.

Seeing that Concubine Qi had listened to everything, the little palace maid lowered her head and bowed to leave.

"My sister taught me, and I told Concubine Qi every word."

"Well done, this is the reward given to you by the queen."

"Thank you, sister. If this kind of good thing happens again in the future, sister will come see me again."

In the twelfth lunar month, the winter plum blossoms bloom on the branches, and the red plum blossoms fall into the snowy eyes.

On a quiet afternoon, a heart-wrenching scream broke through the silence of the harem in Yikun Palace. Min Bin had a miscarriage.

The sound of the wooden fish stopped suddenly. An Lingrong slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the compassionate and kind-hearted Guanyin Bodhisattva above him. A look of relief appeared on his face: "No traces were left, right?"

Dill behind him shook his head gently: "No."

"Okay." An Lingrongfu closed his eyes again and continued to chant the rosary.

Everyone thought she was in despair, even the queen thought she would remain depressed from now on, but no one knew that An Lingrong had quietly taken action the day after Ankang's coffin was sealed.

She used all her contacts and found out what happened on the Double Ninth Festival in just two days.

Then, she asked the servants in the flower room to accidentally reveal the dangers of oleander to Concubine Qi. After Concubine Qi had an idea, she arranged for the little eunuch in the imperial kitchen to take an identical food box and accidentally collide with Cui Guo halfway. , swapping the food boxes, no matter who Concubine Qi originally wanted to attack, the plate of chestnut cake would eventually end up in Concubine Min's hands.

As for the queen, she has wanted to take her third elder brother as her adopted son for a long time. Now that Concubine Qi has dug her own grave, she is naturally happy to see it happen. Not only will she not save her, she will even push her into the fire pit again. As for Min Concubine, the queen will not care even more.

An Lingrong's guess was correct. Concubine Min was simply an abandoned child played by the queen. She could be thrown away after being used once. What's more, she was pregnant silently. With the help of Concubine Qi, He used his hands to get rid of her, and this time he got rid of two eyesores. The queen was not even happy.

However, I am afraid that while I am happy, I am also a little confused.

"I have already asked Xiao Tangzi in the imperial kitchen. He said that on the way to deliver pastries to Min Bin, I only met Cuiguo next to you, and you did make a plate of chestnut cakes that day, which you originally planned to give as a gift. You're going to make the promise to Ye, right?" The queen looked coldly at Concubine Qi who was kneeling on the ground. When she saw that she was holding her neck and getting off without saying a word, she couldn't help but cursed a fool in her heart and suppressed the joy in her heart. , she let out a long sigh, "The imperial doctor told me that Min Bin's child has not been saved, and she will not even be able to have any more children in the future. You did it very neatly, but why did you miss the mark with this knife?"

Concubine Qi vaguely heard something was wrong. She raised her head to look at the queen, but she saw a faint smile in her eyes. Suddenly, the alarm bell rang in her heart: "Queen, I didn't expect that the things would be given away." Go to Yikun Palace..."

The queen looked away and stopped looking at her. She lowered her head and slowly took a sip of tea: "If Ye agrees, I can still take the trouble to protect you, but Min Bin, she is a blood relative of Princess Rongxian. How dare you? How many lives do you dare to attack her? What’s more, she is pregnant with a dragon heir!"

"Empress, it's none of my business that Concubine Min has had a miscarriage!" Concubine Qi really panicked. She knelt down and crawled two steps to grab the corner of the Queen's clothes and cried, "Concubine Min didn't want to harm Concubine Min. , let alone harm her child..."

"Don't you dare?" The queen put down the tea cup and smiled sarcastically, "Aren't you already worried about Concubine Min being pregnant? This accident may have played into your hands, or in other words, you used it to deal with Ye You agree, but you actually want to get rid of Min Bin’s child? Concubine Qi, you are really cruel."

Concubine Qi was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I don't dare, I... I have listened to your words!"

"Did you listen to what I said?" The queen opened her eyes in pretense of confusion, "Have I ever taught you to harm others?"

Concubine Qi was completely stunned.

"It's your idea and your fault. I'm willing to help you because I'm compassionate. If you can't, it's your own fault." Of course the queen could have saved Concubine Qi, but it was the servants in the imperial kitchen who made the mistake. It's just a matter, and it can be settled by dragging her out to take the blame. But this time, the queen didn't want to save Concubine Qi. Instead of leaving her alive to bury a trouble for herself in the future, it would be better to eliminate the root cause now.Seeing the murderous intent in the queen's eyes, Concubine Qi's feet went limp and she collapsed on the ground. She looked at the queen in disbelief: "Your Majesty..."

"From the time you attempted to murder Lord Wan, I have been protecting you and taking you with you, but a mother like you is really useless. Your father, Magistrate Li, has been exiled by the late emperor for taking bribes. From that time on, you You wouldn't be able to protect your son. If it weren't for this palace's protection, do you think your third elder brother would be able to grow up safely?" The queen's heart-breaking words killed Concubine Qi to the point of leaving no trace of her behind. " Every time I ask you to do something, you do it so stupidly and stupidly. When I know that you asked Cui Guo to deliver the cakes, I know that this time, I can't protect you anymore."

Concubine Qi shed tears in despair, but could not argue a word.

"What you did, people will know right away that it was you. Even if the plate of chestnut cake was delivered to Ye Yaosheng's palace without any accident, do you think the emperor would be so confused that he wouldn't be able to find out that you were so blatantly harming people? ?" The queen said lazily while leaning on the pillow, "If I continue to protect you, I will harm myself and the third elder brother." She looked at Concubine Qi and said word by word, "The third elder brother has Only a mother like you will not be taken seriously by the emperor. Tell me yourself, based on what you have done, can you help the third elder brother inherit the throne? "

Concubine Qi cried and laughed at the same time. She cried that she couldn't recognize people well and would have no way out from now on. She laughed that she had finally planned a road to heaven for the third elder brother. The queen would definitely protect the third elder brother from being crowned the great treasure.She muttered to herself and kept repeating: "I am a useless bitch... I am useless..."

"With a mother like you, Third Prince will never be able to become a prince." Seeing that the time was almost up, the Queen said, "Now I will give you two options. One, I will report you to the Emperor with the intention of murdering you. Wan Gui and Ye promised to murder Concubine Min and Long Fei, then the emperor will also be angry with the third elder brother. When the time comes, one of you mother and son will die, and the other will have no chance of ascending to the throne. Second, you can handle this matter yourself. I will I will help your third elder brother to inherit your great cause. It is your choice how to do it."

Concubine Qi had no choice at all.

And the people who have no choice, besides her, are Min Bin.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Min was sitting on the bedside, drinking medicine one after another. Her face was as pale as paper. After hearing the news that Concubine Qi had hanged herself, she was so shocked that she dropped the medicine bowl, and the thick black medicine spilled on her. The bed was full, but she didn't notice it. She only gritted her teeth to hold back the trembling, and kept repeating: "She still refuses to let go... She still refuses to let go..."

Even if she also lost her child, even if she is now dying.

Lady Jade shouted in her ear, and it took a long time before Min Bin came back to her senses with a desolate look on her face. She looked at the empty Yikun Palace and felt desolate in her heart: "Shi Shao, please remember, my death and the concubine It doesn't matter. If you want to avenge me in the future, remember that it was the Queen who killed me."

Noble Jade felt very distressed: "Azhi, you will get well, don't say such unlucky words."

"I can't live long." Min Bin looked at the noble man with a pale smile, tears falling drop by drop, "I'm sorry, I can't stay with you. This palace is far more terrifying than we imagined. You have to live a good life, stop thinking about revenge for your sister, you have to please the emperor, be favored, have children, and live a good life in the palace. Also, Songzhi said that your sister had a relationship with the imperial concubine during her lifetime. , you have nothing to do with your health. For this friendship, as long as you behave yourself, the imperial concubine will not tolerate you..."

Listening to Min Bin's words, which were almost Tuogu, Yu Guiren felt flustered: "Azhi, okay, what are you talking about?"

Min Bin shook her head and lay down with her clothes on: "Just remember what I said and don't ask these questions."

The night is heavy and snowy, and it is difficult to travel on a snowy night. There are no lights in Yikun Palace and the bedroom is dark. However, when the eyes cannot see, the ears will become particularly sensitive.

The moment An Lingrong stepped into the dormitory, Min Bin heard the movement. She sat up with difficulty with her arms and looked at a place a few steps away. An Lingrong was standing there wearing a black cloak. She was in a trance. For a moment, she knelt down on the bed and saluted slowly and hard: "Greetings to the imperial concubine." She held the corner of her mouth, trying to smile, but she couldn't.

An Lingrong approached slowly, lowered his eyes and looked at Minbin's dark head. After waiting for a long time, he spoke in a deep voice, with a hoarse voice: "Minbin, is there anything wrong with my treatment of you?"

Min Bin's body shook violently, and guilt and self-blame surged in like huge waves, drowning her.How could it be bad?Concubine Rong treated her extremely well. She was treated more like a child than a sister. She was so good that she almost gave up her fight for the post, thinking that it might be good if she could always be protected by Concubine Rong.

But there is no regret medicine in this world!

Min Bin pressed her forehead against the bed board, her voice choked with sobs: "I deserve death for my crime..."

An Lingrong could no longer shed a single tear. She raised her head and closed her eyes, and said sadly: "Four years ago, on a snowy night like this, I came to Yikun Palace to see off the then-famous Concubine Hua. Now, , I'm here to see you off." She said in a low voice, "I've always liked you because you are very similar to someone I once knew. Looking at you always reminds me of the good times in the past..."

An Lingrong's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was almost inaudible, but Minbin still heard it, and she said: "...but you shouldn't do anything to my well-being."

Minbin closed her eyes in despair.

"Concubine, I understand." Concubine Min slowly raised her head and looked at An Lingrong with a despairing face, "Jade Master didn't know about this from beginning to end, so please let her live."

An Lingrong stared straight into Min Bin's eyes and asked, "Is she really completely unaware of this?" After a pause, he seemed to have remembered something, and then said, "If she can live in peace in the future, I will keep her here." A life.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Min kowtowed to An Lingrong again, then looked at An Lingrong and said, "My Majesty, whether you believe it or not, it was not the concubine who pushed Princess Ankang off the Chongyang Tower that day. But the concubine, the queen only asked the concubine to send a message to the concubine, and asked the concubine to take the princess to the high building, the rest..."

"I know." An Lingrong looked into Concubine Min's eyes solemnly, "It was Concubine Zhen who pushed her, and it was the empress who instigated it. I all know this." After learning that Xiuxia had her hand tendons and hamstrings broken by the empress, she After being whipped to death, she knew that all this was arranged by the queen. After further investigation, she found the concubine.

Min Bin's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she had underestimated An Lingrong before. This imperial concubine who always smiled had more control over the harem than she had imagined.

It's not that she doesn't fight, she just doesn't want to fight.

"The Imperial Concubine has given a gold ingot to Min Bin of Yi Kun Palace." Dill said in a cold voice, pulling Min Bin back from her thoughts. A golden piece of gold fell in front of Min Bin.

"Concubine, thank you." Min Bin stared blankly at An Lingrong's leaving figure, and after a long time she smiled foolishly.

He laughed at himself for being stupid, and even laughed at the Queen for being stupid for awakening such a ferocious beast.

What she didn't know was that at this moment, on the Lingyun Peak outside the palace, another beast opened its sleeping eyes ferociously. She looked into the distance with her eyes and uttered two words in a cold voice: "Go back to the palace."
