Chapter 287
"Isn't it just a coincidence? The concubine and these two children are quite close. Seeing that the daffodils were in full bloom today, I invited them here on a whim. I never thought that their husband-in-law and fiance are also in the palace."

The queen stepped forward, covering her red lips with a smile.

The emperor glanced at Huo Xun and the prince, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I will appreciate this narcissus with the empress."

"The concubine can't ask for it."

The queen smiled, and immediately stepped forward to watch the narcissus with the emperor in a leisurely manner, while the prince and Huo Xun looked at Lu Heng and Xiao Ruan with a look of concern in their eyes.

Seeing that the queen and the emperor didn't seem to notice him, Lu Heng was about to gesture to the prince, but Xiao Ruan grabbed his sleeve as soon as he raised his hand.

Lu Heng was puzzled, and suddenly seeing Xiao Ruan looking solemnly at her, he shook his head at himself, and then regained his composure, not daring to act rashly again.

The four looked at each other, and quickly withdrew their gazes, obediently following behind the emperor.

Xiao Ruan stopped Lu Heng, but her eyes couldn't help looking at Huo Xun.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Huo Xun is no different from before.But for some reason, ever since she learned from Li Yun that Huo Xun was deliberately lying to herself, when she looked at Huo Xun again, she felt more worried.

The queen summoned her and Lu Heng in the imperial garden, and it happened that she met the emperor who was also in the imperial garden with Huo Xun and the prince, so it was no coincidence.

The emperor in front praised that this year's narcissus bloomed better than previous years, and everyone agreed, but the queen suddenly felt a little emotional during the pause, thinking of the past.

"Your Majesty, when I see these narcissus every year, I think of an old friend. Do you still remember the narcissus meeting held by the late emperor 20 years ago, inviting famous people from all over the world to write poems for the narcissus?"

The emperor thought for a moment when he heard the words, and there was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes: "How can I not remember? The Narcissus Conference was presided over by the late emperor, and Huo Ming's "Narcissus Fu" was praised by the late emperor. Now it seems that his poem is unsurpassed.”

"It turned out that it was Mr. Huo who impressed the emperor deeply, but he also has a lot of connections with the old man whom the concubine wanted to talk about."

"Oh? Speaking of which, I really want to know who the Queen misses so much, and what kind of relationship does he have with Huo Ming?"

Speaking of Huo Ming, the emperor subconsciously turned his head to look at Huo Xun, and suddenly heard the Queen's voice, and turned his face curiously.

But after the two said these few words, Huo Xun's face changed suddenly, even the prince, Xiao Ruan, and even Lu Heng instantly understood that the queen actually wanted to lure Huo Ming out this time.

And as for what she wanted to say when she mentioned Huo Ming... The four of them immediately pricked up their ears.

The queen reached out and gently stroked the petals of a pot of narcissus, she didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the people behind her at all.

"I'm afraid that the old lady I want to talk about has been forgotten by many people. At the Narcissus meeting back then, she surprised everyone with a neon dress dance, and even caught the eyes of your majesty. If it wasn't for Mr. Huo, I'm afraid today's The Queen is her."

The queen pursed her lips, as if reminding her, and looked at the emperor coquettishly, then she regained her sentimentality: "After so many years, this narcissus is still the same. But that person has disappeared. If she is still alive, seeing her My son has become a general, and I have a grandson, I don’t know how happy I am.”

Hearing this, the emperor was stunned, but nodded quickly: "It turns out that you are talking about the Zhou family. Her neon dress dance back then was truly astonishing and unforgettable."

"It seems that your majesty is equally impressed with sister Zhou!"

Sighing, the queen suddenly let out a chuckle: "Speaking of which, the concubine and sister Zhou were close friends in the boudoir, and the sister's skill at the narcissus meeting last week shocked the audience, but she only moved to Mr. Huo." Heart. Thinking about it now, it makes people feel very sorry."

"How can the queen say that? Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish, maybe that Zhou family has never regretted his choice."

At that time, Zhou's natal family committed a capital crime, and the emperor personally decreed that they be sentenced to death. Although the case of Zhou's family was later rehabilitated, the Zhou family has declined.

At this time, the queen talked about the Zhou family in front of Huo Xun, and the emperor felt a little displeased.

Glancing at Huo Xun who was silent behind him, the emperor frowned suddenly: "I have other things to do, so I won't accompany the queen to enjoy the flowers!"

After finishing speaking, before the queen could speak, the emperor took Huo Xun and the prince away.

As the figure of the emperor got farther and farther away, the garden gradually returned to calm. The empress seemed not to be aware of the emperor's displeasure at all. Instead, she beckoned to the maid behind her, and ordered someone to bring a chair for her and sit down leisurely.

"Mrs. Dingguohou, do you know who the younger sister Zhou I mentioned just now is?"

Unlike Lu Heng who had doubts on his face, Xiao Ruan had already guessed from Lu Hanrui and the situation in the hall of Princess Jingnan that the Zhou family mentioned by the queen was Huo Ming's first wife and Huo Xun's biological mother.

But at this moment, she just raised her eyes and said respectfully: "Go back to Empress Empress, I don't know who you are talking about, I would like to hear your empress explain."

"Really? It seems that Huo Ming didn't tell your daughter-in-law about his family affairs."

The queen raised her eyebrows immediately, and saw that it slowly stretched out its hand to fold off a lot of perfectly bloomed daffodils from the daffodil pot on one side, held it up in front of its eyes for a moment, and its eyes suddenly became sharp.

"However, it doesn't matter if you know it or not, as long as you know that if this sister Zhou was willing to listen to my advice, she wouldn't end up dying early."

As if hearing something unbelievable, Xiao Ruan suddenly raised his head, and immediately met the queen's indifferent eyes.

In addition to the previous life, this was the first time Xiao Ruan saw anything other than a smile on the Queen's face.

The surrounding air seemed to condense rapidly at this moment, and an invisible coercion rushed towards Xiao Ruan, making her breathless.

Xiao Ruan clasped her palms tightly, managed to stabilize her mind, and then lowered her head: "My wife must keep the empress's words in mind."

Hearing this, the Queen paused her fingers fiddling with the flowers, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of her mouth immediately: "Mrs. It will never be picked off as early as this flower."

At this time, the daffodil flower in the queen's hand had already been ravaged by her. Of the five petals on the flower path, only one was left shivering in the cool air.

Xiao Ruan only glanced at it, then lowered her eyes, and said softly: "The empress is merciful, and I thank you for your reminder today."

"The narcissus blooms gorgeously, and if the flower-appreciator is in a bad mood, he will be doomed. If it is a human being, if he does not abide by the existing rules in this world, his life will be no different from that of the narcissus in the pot." .”

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, and she threw the last petal and stem on the ground, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped her hands, and suddenly stood up.

"When we appreciate the flowers, we can realize some truths from them. Only then can we truly see the flowers in our hearts. Since you have realized the true meaning of them, let's go away."

After finishing speaking, the queen took another deep look at Xiao Ruan, and then let the maid help her to leave, leaving only Lu Heng with an inexplicable face and Xiao Ruan frowning.

"Ruan Ruan, what does the empress mean? Why do I feel that it sounds weird, as if she cares about something?"

The maids left with the queen, and the surroundings were quiet. Lu Heng couldn't bear it any longer and immediately approached Xiao Ruan to ask with a puzzled face.

The elegant fragrance in the air did not diminish at all, Xiao Ruan scanned the garden for a week, seeing that there was indeed no one here, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Lu Heng.

"Your feeling is right, but what we have to do now is to get out of here as soon as possible."

"Hey, Ruan Ruan, don't go, wait for me!"

Seeing Xiao Ruan leave these words and turn away, Lu Heng was even more confused, and hurriedly chased after her. No one noticed the narcissus flower thrown on the ground by the queen...

The wheels were rolling, as if Lu Heng stretched his head out of the car and saw that there was no one following him outside.Feeling relieved, he immediately sat upright in front of Xiao Ruan, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ruan's hand.

"Good Ruan Ruan, now you can always tell me what's going on, right? You don't know, I'm so anxious that I'm dying of anxiety!"

Lu Heng's eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed as if he would not let go unless he asked.Seeing this, Xiao Ruan felt a little helpless, so she had to tell the queen that sister Zhou was Huo Xun's biological mother.

"You, you mean that the empress is threatening you!"

Lu Heng has an impatient temper, but his head is not stupid. After listening to these words, he recalled what the queen said, and immediately understood the real purpose of the queen calling them into the palace today.

Xiao Ruan saw that she had just come out, so she nodded and said nothing.

Today, the empress first mentioned Huo Ming in front of the emperor, which startled them all and broke into a sweat. This was already a hint.

After the emperor left, she used the daffodil as a metaphor in front of herself, warning herself that if she didn't follow her son's rules, she would be ravaged and retaliated just like the daffodil.

Even Xiao Ruan still had some doubts, the queen had guessed that she knew about the wrongful death of the Zhou family.

A dark light flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Ruan suddenly turned his gaze to Lu Heng: "This matter is very important, don't tell the prince in a hurry, I will discuss everything with Huo Xun before reporting back to him."

"Oh, okay... you, you want to see Huo Xun?"

Lu Heng subconsciously nodded, and after he realized it, he immediately stopped him: "Huo Xun treated you like that, and now even the queen is warning you, what are you going to see that person for? Why don't you take this opportunity to work with him?" It's better to break off the relationship completely!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan raised her head suddenly, let him observe carefully for a moment, and saw that she really didn't seem to know that Huo Xun had already chosen and proposed the divorce, so she looked away and shook her head at her.
