Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 81 Returning to the Palace
"The empress dowager is worrying too much." An Liuyan smiled lightly, and she gently turned the jade bracelet on her wrist: "It's not a big deal for a concubine to be a queen or a concubine."

"You can say that, the Ai family feels better." The queen mother's eyes stayed on An Liuyan's body all the time, she looked at An Liuyan's slightly protruding belly, and a gentle light appeared in her eyes: " Don't worry, as long as you give birth to the baby in your stomach, even if you don't fight, Aijia will fight for you."

"The concubine will thank the queen mother for the child in her stomach." An Liuyan's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared.

An Liuyan stayed in Lanhe Hall and chatted with the Queen Mother for a while.

When An Liuyan left the palace, the Empress Dowager bestowed a pair of jade Ruyi, six night pearls, and ten bolts of silk and satin.

"Your Majesty, this Ye Mingzhu is so beautiful." Liu Xueyao's eyes widened and she gently stroked the Ye Ming Pearl which was as big as an egg.

An Liuyan's fingertips gently brushed Ye Mingzhu, and the cold touch made her startled, "Perhaps the empress dowager wants to make up for something."

During the conversation just now, it's not that she couldn't hear the Queen Mother's subtext.

What the queen meant was to ask her to be considerate of the emperor.As the king of a country,
It's just her...why does her heart hurt like that.

Her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes cast a leaden gray shadow on her fair face.

"Pa-ta." A drop of warm tears fell on Que'er's hand, it was scalding.

"Your Majesty." Liu Xueyao panicked, "Princess, why are you crying?"

An Liuyan bit her lip tightly and shook her head desperately.

……

The Xishan in winter is full of loneliness.

There is a green bamboo forest on the hillside of Xishan.Outside the bamboo grove, the second prince came slowly on horseback with a handsome servant.

"Master, what are we doing here on this mountain?" The servant looked at the Second Prince with distress. Since the death of the empress, the second prince who was originally dark and gloomy seemed to be a different person, becoming more and more leisurely.

I really don't know what the master wants to do, riding a horse all the way to the west mountain, what do you want?And no hunting.

"The weather is cool today." The Second Prince waved his folding fan in a leisurely manner. "Come out and relax."

"Ah." The servant stared dumbfounded at the handsome master, and shook his head helplessly.

It is already the middle of winter, and the master actually said that the weather is cool.

"Xiao Dezi, I'm a little thirsty. Go get me some water."

"This..." Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Yes, I'll look for it here, little one."

The second prince looked at the figure of his servant walking away, his originally relaxed face immediately became cautious, he looked around, saw no one around, he clamped the horse's belly, and pulled the rein.

"Drive..." He shouted in a low voice, turned his horse's head and ran along a green brick road in the bamboo forest.

"You're here." The depths of the bamboo grove looked a bit dark, a man in black stood with his back to the Second Prince, exuding an invisible hostility all over his body.

"Yes." The second prince jumped off the horse and ran to the man in black, "What do you want to do with this prince?"

"Don't you want to get the world of Weiyang?" The man's voice was low and strange, "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise to let you get what you want."

"What do you mean?" The second prince seemed to lose control, he stepped forward to grab the man. "What do you want to do?!"

The man's figure flashed strangely, he leaped into the air, jumped onto a half-bent bamboo, tapped his toes lightly, and stood on the bamboo with such a light figure.

"Don't you want to be the emperor?" A treacherous smile flashed on the corner of the man's mouth, and a coldness like ice flickered in his eyes, "Why do you care what I'm going to do?"

"I don't want it anymore. I have already lost my mother and concubine for the throne. Now I don't want anything. I just want to live my life in peace and contentment." The veins on the neck of the second prince were agitated. the man growled.

"You are so naive." The man's figure flashed, and he landed in front of the Second Prince. Under the white mask, only a pair of deep bottomless eyes were exposed. "Do you think that if you don't fight, the emperor will let you share your own life in peace?"

I didn't expect that the person my master fell in love with at the beginning turned out to be such a mediocre person.

"You..." The Second Prince couldn't help feeling a little angry, but he couldn't refute.

That's right, has there really been any brotherhood in the family of emperors since ancient times, and how many people fought to the death for the throne.

It's just that after so many years of getting along, although each brother has his own thoughts in private, everyone still maintains a superficial kindness.

His eyes flickered a little dark, and the man sneered.

A hand clapped on the shoulder of the second prince, "Don't forget that your mother died to fight for the throne for you, shouldn't you do something? Or do you want to watch her die in vain? "

The Second Prince flew up, drew out the sword on his horse, waved the sword in his hand, and spun a circle in the air. The bamboos around him were chopped off one by one, and the bamboo leaves flew in the air.

"Ah!" he roared hoarsely.

There was a melodious flute sound in the distance, and after hearing the flute sound, the man's fingers lightly drew a circle in the air.With a flick of his fingertip, a small object flew into the mouth of the Second Prince.

"Forget your so-called brotherhood." The man's cold voice sounded in the ear of the second prince, with a strange echo, "Since ancient times, kings have been defeated, kill them, avenge your mother and queen... kill them , your mother can rest in peace... Kill them, and you will be the biggest winner..."

The man's voice echoed in the second prince's mind over and over again, the second prince's eyes gradually lost focus, and his eyes suddenly became dull and hollow.

"Kill! Kill them." The Second Prince murmured unconsciously.

"Very good." A cold smile flashed across the eyes of the man under the mask, and he took out an arrow with a cold light from his bosom and handed it to the Second Prince. "Use it to kill all your brothers, then the world will be yours."

"Kill them. The world is mine." The Second Prince clenched the arrow in his hand, and unconsciously repeated the man's words.

"Go." The man pointed his finger in the direction of the palace, "Go, kill them."

"Kill them." The second prince glanced at the man with out-of-focus eyes, then turned around and flew away in the direction of the palace.

"My lord." After the Second Prince disappeared, a man in Fanbang's clothes knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Hacha." The man turned his back to the soldier, and said in a cold tone, "Go and watch the Second Prince, don't let him spoil our important event."

"Master." Ha Cha seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Bastard!" The man roared violently, "Does the Lord need you to teach me how to do things?"

"Yes. This subordinate obeys." Ha Cha leaned over and said, then performed lightness kung fu and disappeared following the figure of the second prince.

The man took off his mask, his facial features carved like a knife were as cold as ice, his fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were bulging.

In the dead of night, the coldness of the deep winter has become more and more obvious.The bare branches in the yard were covered with silver-white snow, and occasionally a single bird or two flew by, rustling a few pieces of snow.

The cold in the air made An Liuyan, who was wearing fox fur, shiver uncontrollably.An Liuyan stood facing the wind with her hands behind her back, staring blankly at the empty gate of the courtyard.

How long has he not appeared in this temple?Is he really that busy after becoming the emperor?Or is he busy pampering his other concubines?
"My lady, it's cold, my lady should go back to the house early and rest." Although she was wearing a thick padded jacket, Liu Xueyao was still shivering from the wind in the deep winter night.

"Xueyao, do you remember how long it has been since the emperor came to this palace?" She tightened the fox fur on her shoulders, her voice trembling slightly.

"Since the empress was rescued, the emperor has only come here once." Liu Xueyao looked at An Liuyan uncomfortably, paused for a moment, and then answered slowly.

"A decoration." Xiyan's lips moved slightly, and she muttered to herself, "Is this palace just a decoration for the emperor?"

"Your Majesty." Liu Xueyao called softly worriedly, while putting a cup of steaming tea in An Liuyan's hand.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was still pregnant with a child, the emperor would have thrown me out of the sky long ago." An Liuyan took the hot tea, and the slight warmth entered her cold palm bit by bit. The corner of Liu Yan's mouth curled up into a weak smile, turned around, and walked into the house. "Xueyao, it's getting late, you should go back early and rest."

"Your Majesty." Liu Xueyao carefully combed An Liuyan's black hair, she bit her lip, looking hesitant to speak.

"Xueyao, what's the matter?" An Liuyan picked up a hairpin from the vanity box and played with it, raised her eyes to look at Liu Xueyao carefully, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and said jokingly: "You When did the girl learn to speak only half of it?"

"The servant girl heard some rumors, and I don't know if I should tell the empress."

"Let's talk." An Liuyan shook his head lightly, "You've already talked about this, if you don't tell Ben Gong, it will make Ben Gong feel uncomfortable."

"The servant girl heard that the prince was poisoned, and the imperial physician is now diagnosing the prince."

"Hiss." An Liuyan's hand was pierced by a hairpin, and bright red blood gushed out.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Liu Xueyao hurriedly put down the comb in her hand, and leaned close to An Liuyan, her eyes showed concern.

"It's okay." An Liuyan pinched her fingers and lowered her head. After a long time, she looked up at Liu Xueyao and said, "Hurry up and wash up for me, I want to see the prince."

Everything is becoming less and less simple, and this seemingly peaceful world can no longer conceal the turmoil behind it.

At this time, the hall was in chaos, An Liuyan was about to step into the hall, but was stopped by Shen Xinlan's personal servant girl.

"The princess is pregnant now, and the concubine Lan wants the slaves to inform the empress that the empress should not go in, so as not to hurt the child in her belly." The little maid stopped An Liuyan outside the hall with a proud look.

"You're too much..." Before Liu Xueyao could say her identity, An Liuyan stopped her.

"Xueyao, what Concubine Lan said is not unreasonable, we are waiting outside the hall." It was freezing cold outside the hall, and An Liuyan's cheeks were already flushed from the cold.
