Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 109

Huo Tianlan responded, let Queen Mother Li pull her, and walked inside side by side.

An Huan looked back, and Huo Tianxiao, who had been standing under the tree, had disappeared.

"What's going on?" Her eyes widened.

The timing of Empress Dowager Li and Huo Tianlan's appearance was weird, and Huo Tianxiao's sudden disappearance was also extremely weird.

Could it be that he had already considered all of this, that's why he drove all the civil and military officials away and waited for the arrival of Queen Mother Li and Huo Tianlan alone?
Empress Dowager Li and Huo Tianlan have evil intentions, An Huan knows this very well.

But she suddenly discovered that it was easy to understand Queen Mother Li and Huo Tianlan, but it was so difficult to understand Huo Tianxiao's words.

That's why he asked her to leave?
He didn't want her to see Queen Mother Li or Huo Tianlan, why?
Standing behind her, she watched Empress Dowager Li and Huo Tianlan gradually go away. Suddenly, a bad thought came to her mind.

Is that the case?

There was a tremor in her heart, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and followed all the way.

In Huo Tianchen's bedroom, the door was ajar. Two eunuchs were waiting outside the door. There was no sound from inside the door. Everything looked so peaceful.

But An Huan knew that this was not peace, but lifelessness.

The impelling death aura made the maids and eunuchs who were serving around feel fearful and anxious.

She was just behind a bush outside the dormitory. The window was slightly opened a slit, which seemed to be used for ventilation. A stove was lit in the house, and the heating was overflowing. Along with the heating, there was also a faint smell of medicine. and the smell of blood.

Huo Tianxiao stood aside, while Empress Dowager Li and Huo Tianlan stood at the head of the bed. They stared at Huo Tianchen lying on the bed for a long time without making any sound.

The atmosphere did not appear normal because of this, but became extremely weird.

An Huan watched all this from the window, because she couldn't see the expressions of Empress Dowager Li and Huo Tianlan, so she didn't know what they saw, whether Huo Tianchen was dead or not.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe even longer, Empress Dowager Li sighed slightly, and tears just flowed out.

Huo Tianlan reached out to support her, but failed to hold her. Empress Dowager Li swayed and fell. The fall was so sudden that An Huan felt an indescribable feeling.

According to the force of inertia, Empress Dowager Li should have fallen to the left, but she fell straight forward, because the distance from the bed was very close, so when she fell, she just stretched out her hand to hold the bed , stabilized his figure, and with the other hand, taking advantage of the confusion, he touched the inside of the quilt.

Huo Tianxiao stood aside, watching all this, indifferent, as if it was none of his business at all.

Huo Tianlan hurried forward, helped Empress Dowager Li up, and said with concern, "Empress Dowager, are you alright?"

Empress Dowager Li shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I'm fine, but Chen'er..." Her voice was choked with tears streaming down her face.

Anyone who saw this scene would be extremely moved.

It's a pity that when she smiles, her expression is very stiff, and ordinary people can't see that kind of stiffness, but An Huan has special training in this area, but she can see it, precisely because she can see it Only then will he find Empress Dowager Li's hypocrisy ridiculous.

Empress Dowager Li was still young, so it was impossible for her to be so vulnerable just because of a little sadness. Moreover, Huo Tianchen had been ill in bed for so long, and she was already prepared for what she saw in her heart.

And although I don't know how good Huo Tianlan's martial arts are, but a prince who is ambitious to take the throne, when he has strict requirements on his subordinates, the requirements on himself must be even stricter.

Therefore, Huo Tianlan's martial arts is definitely not weak. He was standing beside the Empress Dowager Li at that time. If he really tried to help her, he would definitely be able to hold her back, but if he didn't, this problem arose.

She didn't know if Huo Tianxiao had noticed this, but it was absolutely impossible to remind her aloud.

Huo Tianlan took the words, "Your Majesty, the ninety-five-year-old emperor, the true son of heaven, with the protection of the emperor, he will be fine."

Empress Dowager Li nodded, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Does the seventh brother really think so?" Huo Tianxiao asked without warning, like a wooden man.

Huo Tianlan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's the case."

Huo Tianxiao stared at him intently, as if wanting to see whether he was sincere or not, and said after a while, "That's very good."

The meaning in the words was vague, with a cold chill.

Huo Tianlan, who has always been used to being in awe of him in front of others, even though he knew that he might have the strength to match him, or even crush him, still shrank his shoulders habitually.

Suddenly, he realized that there was no need for him to do this at this time, his face changed slightly, he raised his head and asked, "Second Brother's question is so strange, otherwise, what do you think I mean?"

"What do you mean, I think you know better than me."

"What the second brother thinks may not be what I mean, isn't it?" Huo Tianlan said without showing any weakness.

Huo Tianxiao sneered and pursed his lips, "I heard what you said is serious, so what do you think I mean?"

Pushing the topic back without a trace, Huo Tianlan was dumbfounded, consciously speaking of eloquence, he was still a little worse than Huo Tianxiao.

This made the resentment in his heart even stronger.

If the former emperor could treat him as he treated Huo Tianxiao and leave everything the best to him, how could he be like this?

At the age of three, he began to listen to political affairs in the court, at the age of five, he could point fingers at the ministers of civil and military affairs, and at the age of seven, he could use some self-righteous reasoning to fight the officials...

These, not every prince can enjoy, even the eldest prince who has passed away, I'm afraid they don't have this kind of treatment.

Huo Tianxiao, who grew up in this kind of environment, has an arrogance and superiority far beyond other princes. In Huo Tianlan's view, it is a matter of course that he can achieve what he is today.

Only if his performance is a little bit worse, Huo Tianlan will think that he is a dead wood that cannot be carved.

The injustice of the past left a shadow in Huo Tianlan's heart when he was very young.

Living in the most remote palace, living with his unloved mother and concubine, and being neglected by countless people, even an older court lady and eunuch can yell at his mother and concubine without referring to his mother and concubine at all. The concubine saw it.

It was at that time that the desire for power began to take root in his heart.

When she was six years old, her mother and concubine passed away because she contracted a cold and could not be treated in time. The mother and concubine had always loved the late emperor deeply, and even before she died, she kept chanting the late emperor's name.

But what did you get in exchange?

Fate was not only unfair to him, it was even more unfair to his mother and concubine.

His mother and concubine had a miserable life, and her love was extremely humble. Before she died, the man she loved so faithfully never even came to see her, and even after she died, she just went there in a hurry It's just a mausoleum.

Born in the emperor's family, the humiliation brought about by this injustice is a shackle, but it is also a driving force for progress.

The mother and concubine who shouldn't have died, was about to die because of a small wind and cold?

The prince who was supposed to be well-clothed and well-fed, lived no differently from the most humble slave in the palace.

The dark life of childhood took root in my heart, and everything about decay, darkness, and negativity was like vines that grew wildly, enveloping him tightly and swallowing him.

For more than ten years after that, I endured the humiliation and pretended to be crazy, just for self-preservation.

And lingering in the Qinglou, drunk with money, is just to make up for the hurt of the mother and concubine.

He must temper his heart to be as firm as steel, without any flaws. Only in this way can he become stronger, and one day he will stand out from the crowd, sit on the position that everyone admires, and let everyone in the world humble himself at his feet.

Right now, Huo Tianchen is suffering from Adu Gu, dying, unconscious, he doesn't know what this means to others, but to him, it is definitely the best time.

So Huo Tianxiao's repeated questioning made him, who was already out of balance, lose control of his emotions.

With a sneer, "Second Brother's words, are you trying to target me on purpose? Could it be that I did something wrong that made Second Brother angry?"

"You become angry from embarrassment, do you think you are worthy?" Huo Tianxiao sarcastically said.

"Heh... Huo Tianxiao, you are still as self-righteous as before. Do you think that everyone really needs to act according to your face?"

"Oh, what do you mean, you were afraid of me before?" After a pause, as if he wanted to appreciate the wonderful expression on Huo Tianlan's face, he smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid now?"

Huo Tianlan knew that he was humiliating him intentionally, but he, who had been underestimated for more than 20 years, became unbearable for other things when he burst into emotions once he couldn't bear it.

His face became extremely ugly in an instant, he gritted his teeth like a ferocious leopard, and stared at Huo Tianxiao, the words that popped out of his mouth were as cold as ice slag, "Huo Tianxiao , do you really think that you are great? Do you think that you are a genius or that you are born superior? Have you ever thought that if you didn’t have a beautiful mother and concubine who served you, would you be where you are today?”

In a word, it hit Huo Tianxiao's weakness.

Concubine Bai has always been a taboo to him, no one dared to mention it in front of him without his permission, let alone Huo Tianlan insulted Concubine Bai.

His complexion became cold at some point, and the knuckles of his hands tucked into his sleeves cracked.The chill on his body dispelled the sunshine in this autumn.

It was clearly a sunny day, but An Huan felt a biting coldness strangely.

She knew that Huo Tianxiao was angry and angry.

As long as Concubine Bai was mentioned, no matter how rational he was, he would lose his mind.

However, he vaguely guessed Huo Tianxiao's purpose of destroying his reputation, expelling civil and military officials, and forcing Queen Mother Li and Huo Tianlan to come to his house. Everything that has been lost is in vain.

Moreover, his use of her, and the dispute that just happened between him and her, have become meaningless.

She saw a slight smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Li's mouth, a slightly curved smile, but she just blinked her eyes, and then her expression was as usual, without any difference.

However, isn't that the gloating of seeing two tigers fighting each other?what else?
An Huan's heart rose slightly, a little nervous.

She has learned Huo Tianxiao's methods countless times, and she will never insult her own wisdom, but she suffered losses at Huo Tianxiao's hands repeatedly, but it made her deeply understand a truth, Huo Tianxiao, can't easily provoke.

Huo Tianxiao, with a tense face, didn't seem to have the slightest sense of reason.

The moment An Huan saw his hand raised, she almost couldn't help jumping out and calling for a stop.

She could clearly see that Huo Tianxiao's eyes were spewing fire, which was a kind of anger that wanted to kill him. This was probably the first time Huo Tianlan saw Huo Tianxiao burning with anger.
