The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 153 Who Is Who?
When she said this, Yi Lin and Pei Ruochen were very close, and Yi Lin suddenly had a strange illusion that Tian An was her and Pei Ruochen's child, and now, the three of them were enjoying their family happiness.

This illusion made Erin feel a long-lost happiness in her heart.

Just as he was thinking, Pei Ruochen suddenly handed Helan Tianan to the nurse standing beside him, then waved his robe and knelt down towards Yilin.

Yi Lin was shocked and didn't know what to say. Pei Ruochen was already staring at her and asked word by word: "Concubine Lin, do you want to be the queen mother? Do you want to be the youngest and most powerful queen mother in the Celestial Dynasty?"

Erin was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Recognize Tian'an as your son, help him ascend the throne, and the Queen Mother will listen to the government behind the curtain. Concubine Lin, would you like to become the highest woman in the history of the Celestial Dynasty?" Pei Ruochen's tone was a little bewitching.

After the initial shock, Erin said in a low voice: "But I don't know anything about politics..."

"I will help you. I will treat Tian'an like my own son, and naturally I will treat you like a family member." Pei Ruochen replied firmly.

Erin was a little dizzy.

She remembered the delusion just now: the three of them stood at the top of the celestial dynasty, enjoying the family relationship to the fullest.

Maybe in the future, she and Pei Ruochen will have children, and then...

Erin was full of thoughts, and her heart was agitated by something almost ambitious. She took a few deep breaths, then knelt down in front of Pei Ruochen, and asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, what should I do?"

Pei Ruochen wanted to laugh, but for some reason, he couldn't.

Erin's serious expression at this moment resembled another person's. He was suddenly melancholy, but he couldn't stop anymore.

"What Concubine Lin has to do is..."

Lin Gong was quiet and serene, and no one could see what was going on inside.

He Lanyou ran all the way into the harem. She originally planned to find He Lanchun, but when she thought of the innocent death of her second brother and third brother or the queen mother, He Lanyou felt lingering fear, turned her direction, and ran straight to Xiugong.

In any case, let's discuss it with Rongxiu first.He Lanyou has never been so lonely, she needs to find an ally.

A person who, like her, needs to choose between her relatives and His Majesty.

These days, she has been under house arrest by Pei Ruochen in the mansion, so she doesn't know whether she will be allowed or not.

There were no guards on the road leading to the Xiu Palace. The Queen's former residence looked so desolate from a distance.

It is clearly spring, but there is not a trace of green in front of the hall.

When he arrived at the gate in front of Xiu Palace, Fang met a court lady. When she saw He Lanyou, the court lady hurriedly stopped her, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is inside."

He Lanyou was startled, and then suddenly snarled, using the posture of being a princess back then, and snapped: "I am a princess, and Your Majesty is my eldest brother. I want to go in, but you little slave actually stop me!"

The palace maid was so frightened that she lost all her souls, she was just an unknown little girl in the Xiu Palace, she really didn't know how to deal with the rich and powerful, so she just bowed her head and said nothing.

He Lanyou glared at her aggressively again, and then walked in with great strides.

But when she reached the outer hall, she involuntarily restrained her steps and poked inside gently.

Your Majesty is inside, does that mean that Rong Xiu has already said it?

If Rongxiu had said everything, she wouldn't need to go in, but should go home immediately, to accompany Pei Ruochen and accompany him through the last journey of his ambition.

He Lanyou had already made a decision, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

She felt she could handle any situation.

After walking a few more steps, when she was approaching the inner hall, He Lanyou vaguely heard the conversation inside. She stopped, put her ear against the wall, and listened carefully to the movement inside.

Sure enough, Rong Xiu's voice sounded.

Rong Xiu's voice was very calm, without the slightest ripple, as if lifeless.

"Your Majesty can do whatever you want, why bother with me, I am an irrelevant person, and I am just a pawn of Your Majesty."

"Axiu, I didn't treat you as a pawn." He Lanchun replied quietly.

Rong Xiu didn't expect him to deny it so categorically, she fell silent for a long time, and then asked softly, "Why did you marry me back then?"

"Because I thought you liked He Lanxue, so I must marry you!" He Lanchun said calmly, "I am not as great as He Lanxue. I never give up anything I like to others."

"What do you like?" Rong Xiu was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, I like it." He Lanchun affirmed: "I can tell you clearly now that I married you only because you at that time attracted all my attention. To this day, as long as you let go of your worries, you will always be My queen, my favorite queen, Axiu, are you willing to give up everything for me, just to be my queen with peace of mind?"

"I have one thing I don't understand, Your Majesty, can you explain it to me?" Rong Xiu didn't rush to answer, but asked calmly.

"what's up?"

"You are afraid of Axue, I can understand, but what about He Lanqin? Aqin has always been loyal to you, why did you kill him too? The fire in the Empress Dowager's Buddhist Hall is not a coincidence, right?"

Hearing this question, He Lanyou also kept an eye out and listened carefully.

"It's not a coincidence." He Lanchun finally replied, "But if I don't kill them, they will kill me sooner or later."

"Why! You are brothers, how could they harm you?" Rongxiu asked puzzled.

"We are not brothers." He Lanchun said quietly: "They are the emperor's nobles, and I am just the illegitimate child of a little girl."

"Your Majesty... Ah Chun?"

"Under the banyan tree, I found my mother's tomb. In front of the tomb, there is a letter of confession left by my mother. It is true. She is just a little girl next to Mrs. Xi. Because of her secret love for Emperor Wushuang, she died in a blunder. , and Wushuang had something to do with each other, so I was born."

"How is this possible?" Rong Xiu didn't believe it.

He Lanchun hesitated for a while, then took out a white cloth brocade from his bosom, and handed it to Rongxiu.

Rong Xiu took it over, the white cloth had turned yellow, obviously it had passed through countless years, and the folds were a bit damaged, probably because it was often read by people.

She unfolded it gently, the words on it were dull in color, Rongxiu looked at it for a long time before she recognized the words written in blood.

Very elegant font, it should come from a woman's hand.

The blurred handwriting on it can be vaguely discerned: "Madam Xi, please forgive me, I just want to look at Wushuang from a distance, I just want to give him a son and then disappear, I don't want him to fall in love with me, I'm sorry Madam, I also know that there is no way to atone for my sins, the only way is to die, and now Wushuang is gone, and I will disappear from this world soon. Madame, please forgive us two dead sinners."

Rongxiu closed the cloth strip.

"This is my mother, a woman who died so humblely." He Lanchun smiled wryly, "I don't want to be humble, but, from birth, I was destined to be humbler than them!"

Rong Xiu looked at He Lanchun in surprise, never knowing that under that cold face, there was such deep inferiority and loneliness.

"Will you look down on me for this, and regret that you didn't go with He Lanxue?" Seeing Rongxiu's surprised face, He Lanchun's expression darkened, and he asked in a cold voice.

"It doesn't matter what background you are from?" Rong Xiu finally came back to her senses, looked at him, and said quietly, "You are still He Lanchun, right, nothing has changed at all, so why worry about it?"

He Lanchun's eyes flickered, and before he could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

He Lanyou appeared at the door angrily, she stared at He Lanchun and Rongxiu, and said loudly: "Just because of your inferiority and suspicion, you killed the second brother and the third brother! Brother, do you think that this reason can help you? Do you justify the wrong things you did! The Queen Mother has always known your background, did she ever lighten you and harm you? When you asked for the throne, the third brother gave it to you without saying a word. How have you ever thought of his kindness now, big brother, you Shame on you, shame on me!"

"You..." Rongxiu was about to say something, but He Lanyou stopped her, "Shut up! Sister Xiu, have you forgotten how he neglected you in the past five years? Now a simple sentence of liking is enough Can all the damage be erased? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!"

"That's what I'm willing to do." Rong Xiu choked up and replied calmly.

He Lanchun's body shook, and he turned to look at Rongxiu.

Rongxiu's face was pale, and deep in her eyes, there was a calmness of resignation.

He Lanyou looked angry, then waved his hands, and said indifferently: "I don't care about you, if you want to survive, leave the palace now, Pei Ruochen rebelled, this palace is full of his people!"

He Lanchun was taken aback, but Rong Xiu let out a sigh.

"What's going on?" He Lanchun asked sharply.

Before He Lanyou answered, there was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps outside, rustling and orderly, surrounding the Xiu Palace.

They have become the turtle in the urn.

"Take me hostage and walk from behind." He Lanyou made a decisive decision, pulled out the long sword from He Lanchun's waist, and handed it to him.

Even though he hated He Lanchun's ruthlessness, He Lanchun had treated her extremely well over the years.He has always been the big brother she admires.

He Lanchun didn't have time to think about it, so he could only put the sword on He Lanyou's neck, and retreated towards the back door.

As soon as the back door opened, he saw Pei Ruochen.

Pei Ruochen led the crowd and stood at the front with his hands behind his back.

He Lanchun and Pei Ruochen looked at each other.

Everyone's eyes are extremely complicated.

He has always regarded him as a chess piece, but in the end, no one can figure out who is whose chess piece.

"Pei Ruochen, get out of the way!" After all, He Lanchun has been the emperor for many years, he wouldn't say 'why did you do this', 'how can I be sorry for you' and such nonsense, he just drank it in a solemn voice One sentence.

Pei Ruochen didn't move, still looking at him.

"Ruochen..." He Lanyou called his name a little uncertainly.

she knows.Pei Ruochen didn't love her, and He Lanyou had no idea whether he would let go of his powerful enemy because of him.

He Lanyou's voice reminded He Lanchun, his hand tightened, and He Lanyou exclaimed, feeling the pain, not sure if the injury was deep or not.

"The person you are kidnapping is your sister." Pei Ruochen paused and said softly.

"It's your wife too." He Lanchun raised his head and replied arrogantly.

Pei Ruochen was deep in thought.

Everyone stands still.

He Lanyou didn't have much hope anymore, letting He Lanchun hold him hostage to blackmail Pei Ruochen was a ridiculous decision in itself.
