"Mother?" Mama Zhong hurriedly called: "Don't say anything about Niangniang, the Liu family is pointing at Niangniang." Others have exhausted all means and thoughts, just to win the emperor's favor, but why has Niangniang always been unconcerned? ”

"If you don't have a heart, how can you get into it?" Liu Guifei seemed to be blocking her breath.

When she came back from [Yining Palace] in the morning, Concubine Liu had a sullen breath in her heart, and she was still exhausted until now.

"My mother, don't say it, don't say it." Hearing this, Mama Zhong was in a hurry, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead, "These words reached the ears of the emperor, let alone the mother, even the Liu family and the prince are afraid that they will not survive." ”

She really thought that Concubine Liu would be so affectionate, after all, so many years have passed.

"Mama, my heart hurts. I can't be happy, I can't care so much. Liu Guifei hugged Mama Zhong and cried bitterly, as long as she thought that Xia Xiaoyu was now pregnant with a child in Baili Huaqing, and thought of their loving together, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Mama Zhong tried to persuade: "Niangniang, forget about him." Now that the emperor loves you, you can forget about that person. ”

Now the identities of the two of them, a qiē obsession will only make themselves more painful.

What's more, Baili Huaqing doesn't have her in his heart at all?

It's time for this unrequited love to end.

"Nope! I can't forget. Liu Guifei let go of Mama Zhong, looked up at her with teary eyes, and her little face with pear blossoms and rain made Mama Zhong feel distressed.

Mama Zhong hardened her heart, "If you can't do it, you have to do it." Niangniang, now the Liu family is on the cusp, if Niangniang can't be favored in front of the emperor, then the Liu family is very bad. ”

"What's wrong at home?" Concubine Liu frowned.

Mama Zhong sighed, stretched out her hand and rubbed her hair, "Niangniang, now the emperor and Prince An are going to carry out land cultivation reform, and the imperial court will exempt the land rent for three years, and the people will be given one tael of silver per mu every year." ”

"This is a good thing, what does this have to do with our Liu family?"

"Of course it matters, the emperor will not consider using the silver taels from the treasury."

"And what will he give to the people?"

"Catch corrupt officials." Mama Zhong sighed and shook her head in her heart, and even doubted whether it was good or bad for her to be overprotective of Concubine Liu, all she could think about now was love.

Looking at Liu Guifei's sudden realization, Mama Zhong said again: "The master is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the mother is a concubine, so there are many people who are looking for the master to do things, who can resist in front of money?" Besides, you can refuse this time and twice, and if you refuse too much, other officials will reject you and squeeze you. ”

"What then?" Liu Guifei finally understood.

Mama Zhong looked at her and said word by word: "The rise and fall of the Liu family is all in the hands of Niangniang, if Niangniang can conceive a dragon, these will not be a problem." ”

Emperor Wensi's heirs are not prosperous, four princesses, a little prince, and this little prince is still frail and sickly.

If Concubine Liu can conceive a dragon son, coupled with Emperor Wen Si's favor for Concubine Liu, no one in the Liu family will dare to move at all.

Concubine Liu shook her head, tears flowing down again.

Mama Zhong had no choice but to give a dose of 'fierce medicine', "Niangniang, now that Prince An has a beloved, the one named Xia Xiaoyu is also pregnant with Prince An's child." Today, it seems that the Queen Mother also likes her. Not to mention that the identities of you and the prince are in front of you, even the heart of the prince is not in you. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself again and again? No matter how obsessed you are with him, he can't see it, he can't feel it, it's in vain. ”

"Mama." Liu Guifei looked up at her and asked very hurtfully, "Don't you think that even you think that I am not as good as that Xia Xiaoyu of unknown origin?" ”

"Of course not! I just think the mother deserves better. ”

"Better?" Liu Guifei smiled bitterly, "The best is him!" There will be no one else. ”

Mama Zhong sighed, and she didn't know how to persuade her.

After a long time, Concubine Liu suddenly said coldly, "Mama, you do something for me, I promise to listen to you from now on and try to keep the emperor's heart." ”

"Really?" Mama Zhong asked happily, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Guifei bit her lip hard, a thick hatred appeared in her eyes, and she said in a cold voice: "I'm going to kill Xia Xiaoyu, I can't get it, no one can think of it." ”

Back then, Zheng Jingchu also died under her psychology.

She asked Mama Zhong to arrange for Lotus to be a nurse, and she did something when Zheng Jingchu gave birth, so that everyone thought that Zheng Jingchu died because of dystocia.

"Good! I'll do that. Mama Zhong nodded heavily.

Anyway, it's not the first time she's done something like this.

"Niangniang, there is one more thing, the lotus flower ran away." Mama Zhong told her about the lotus's escape, "Xiao Anzi, I have already let people deal with it." When a person dies outside the palace, he will not leave any trace. ”

Concubine Liu nodded, "Let people go to find it, and you must not leave lotus flowers." She was the only one who knew the cause of Zheng Jingchu's death back then. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Mama Zhong left in a hurry, and Concubine Liu Guifei lay down softly, her eyes empty.

……

Situ Hanmo went out of the palace and returned to the post station where he lived temporarily, he locked himself in the study, pulled out the dying lotus flower from the clean room, and threw it on the ground like a rag, "Lotus girl, if you recruit from the truth, you don't have to suffer so much. You are for the sake of someone who doesn't love you, and another who wants to kill you, so why should you pay for your own life? ”

Lotus opened her eyes with difficulty, and looked up at the man standing in front of her like a god, at this moment, she was like an ant under his feet, let him step on it.

"Water, I want to drink water."

A hoarse voice came with slurred speech.

She was really unlucky, she fell directly from the wolf's den into the tiger's den, and when she recalled the escape of her life that night, she even regretted her intestines. She couldn't enter any room, but she just entered Situ Hanmo's room.

This man is definitely 100,000 times more terrifying than that Mama Zhong.

Situ Hanmo glanced at her coldly, looked at the door, and called, "Come on, serve tea, and get some food to bring in." ”

"Yes, master."

It didn't take long for the door to open, and a young woman came in with a tray, "Please use it slowly." "Put tea and a few plates of snacks on the table.

Situ Hanmo waved his hand, and the woman turned around and walked out of the room, she didn't even glance at the lotus flowers on the ground.

The woman gently opened the door, and the study immediately fell into a strange silence.

Situ Hanmo looked at the lotus flowers on the ground and said, "Lotus girl, I have people bring in tea and snacks, you can get up and eat some." ”

The lotus got up, brought the tea and snacks to the ground, stuffed them a few times in a row, and then swallowed the tea. At this time, she can't care so much, and if she wants to die, she won't be a starving ghost.

"Eat slowly! I can wait. Situ Hanmo said lightly: "Lotus girl, you can't help but tell the truth." My guards have always wanted to taste the women of the Hundred Miles Country, especially a woman with a slight appearance like the Lotus Girl. ”

The cold tone made Lotus forget the food in her mouth, she looked up at him timidly, the cowardice in her heart was a little stronger, her body couldn't help but tremble, she poured another sip of tea, and then swallowed the snack, "If I said it, would you spare my life." ”

Situ Hanmo smiled faintly and did not say a word.

Lotus's heart was cold again, and her instinct to survive made her ask again, "If you can spare me, I will tell you all of them." With my information, you will definitely be able to defeat Baili Huaqing and Emperor Wensi. ”

"Lotus Girl." This time, Situ Hanmo opened his mouth, "I don't think you have the qualifications to talk to me about the conditions, if you don't say it, I have a great way to make you speak." My guards are all five big and three rough, they are the most rough, and I am sure they will make the lotus girl beg to speak. ”

Lotus was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were fixed on Situ Hanmo. The two fell silent again, Lotus took a sip of tea, ate a few snacks in a row, and changed her demeanor to An Ran: "The big deal is death, without my information, it is not me who loses." ”

"Lotus girl, it's really not an ordinary woman." Situ Hanmo looked at the lotus with a little appreciation, but it was still difficult to hide the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

Lotus looked at Situ Hanmo like this, and she didn't have any bottom in her heart, but she knew very well that she couldn't soften in her momentum, otherwise, she would definitely die an ugly death.

She's going to gamble, take a gamble.

"What else does a person dare not do in order to survive?"

Situ Hanmo stared at her expressionlessly for a few seconds, and suddenly curled his lips and chuckled: "What the lotus girl said is right, in order to live, there is nothing you dare not do." Good! I promise you that not only will I not want your life, but I will also give you a sum of money to escape. ”

Lotus looked at him in surprise.

Situ Hanmo smiled and said, "Your strength just now impressed me, I admire this kind of person the most." ”

"Really?" Lotus still couldn't believe it.

"You have no jokes!"

"Good! I say. ”

……。

"Dongzi, come and sit down, I have something to tell you." Xia Xiaoyu beckoned Dongzi, who had just come out of the study, to the pavilion, "Sit down." ”

Dongzi stood still, "Girl, if you have anything to do, just tell me." ”

Xia Xiaoyu raised his head and frowned at him, "I want to meet with Qian Ling, you take the [Anwangfu] greeting post to the post station." As she spoke, she pushed the post she had prepared to Dongzi.

The capital is in trouble, and two acquaintances have to write a letter of worship when they meet. If it weren't for the scruples that Qian Ling was now Emperor Wen Si's concubine, she would have really invited Qian Ling directly to [King An's Mansion].

Hearing this, Dongzi's complexion changed several times.

Xia Xiaoyu said, "You don't want to go?" ”

Dongzi put away the complicated feelings and took the post, "I'll go." ”

Xia Xiaoyu looked at Dongzi's back and let out a long sigh. People are like this, only when they are about to lose will they suddenly discover what their hearts think?

The current Dongzi is obviously a depressed appearance after losing his lover.

"Why do you sigh so well?" Baili Huaqing bent down from behind, kissed her side dotingly, and then walked to the opposite side of her and sat down. "You sigh so much, will my son always have a sad face in the future?"

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoyu curled her lips and smiled.

He is like this, he was as cold as a piece of ice when he first got along, and now he often shows his childish side in front of her.

She likes this kind of Baili Huaqing.

"Maybe he'll be like you, like an iceberg, so can't you blame me?"

"An iceberg?" Baili Huaqing laughed, "Probably only you will look at me like this." ”

"Impossible!" Xia Xiaoyu immediately retorted to him, "When we first met, think about it, do you feel like I owe you gold and silver every time?" I never gave me a good look. At that time, I gave you a name, and I called you Big Iceberg, Megalomania. ”

"I know!"

"You know?" Xia Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise, how could he know? I didn't call him to my face, unless I ...... "No, right?" You. ”

Baili Huaqing nodded, "After you were tied to the cave in the back mountain, I guessed that the other party would not stop there, so I kept watch on your roof for a few nights." I heard all the words you said to me in my room. ”

Xia Xiaoyu was embarrassed, feeling as if she was saying bad things about people behind her back, but she was caught ready-made.

"You can't blame me, you can't blame yourself for being too a failure. Who made you always bully me so fiercely, if it weren't for the tiger girl, I would have run away in the morning. Who wants to be suspicious every day inexplicably. ”

"I'm sorry!" Baili Huaqing remembered what he had done, and he also felt that he was sometimes too much. Still, if he had to go back in time, he would still do it, because he had his responsibility.

If he hadn't been suspicious at the time, how could he have known her better?

"Forget it, it's over." Xia Xiaoyu didn't expect him to apologize, the reason why she said this was just to hide her embarrassment.

Baili Huaqing grinned, "I knew you were reluctant to really blame me, hehe!" ”

Smiled helplessly.

This guy is like that, he is getting poorer and poorer in front of himself.

"Huaqing, what do you say about the matter between Ling Ling and Dongzi?" Speaking of the matter of Ling Ling and Dongzi, Xia Xiaoyu's eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a trace of sorrow. Ling Ling is her good friend, Dongzi and Baili Huaqing are like brothers, watching them suffer from each other, she is really anxious and worried.

Baili Huaqing looked at her and said very strictly: "Xiaoyu, I hope you don't interfere in this matter." If this matter is small, the emperor wants to take a concubine, and if it is big, it will be directly related to the future of the people of the two countries. If there is any change in this matter, it is very likely to trigger a war between the two countries. Perhaps, Situ Hanmo fought with this idea, and he had been waiting for an opportunity to attack Baili Country in the name of justice. Moreover, when I came back this time, I had a very subtle feeling that the emperor no longer seemed to trust me as much as before. ”

This is the first time Baili Huaqing said it to people.

Liu frowned, Xia Xiaoyu thought back to the afternoon when she got along with Emperor Wen Si, she had been talking about land cultivation reform, but she had no impression of Emperor Wen Sidi's reaction.

However, Baili Huaqing grew up with him, and he should be regarded as someone who knows him very well, if Baili Huaqing thinks that he has changed, it must be a change.

"What then?"

Baili Huaqing should have been very sad when he talked about this to himself.

Holding Xia Xiaoyu's hand tightly, Baili Huaqing smiled slightly: "It's okay!" Look at what you're worried about, if I had known this, I wouldn't have told you this. After all, he and I grew up together, and we have a lot of affection between us, and as long as I prove myself to him, he will definitely not think about it again. ”

"What do you mean if you knew about it and didn't tell me this?" Xia Xiaoyu glared at him unhappily, "You don't tell me anything on your mind, so do you dare to say that I am your lady?" Is there such a lady in the world? ”

"Poof...... Baili Huaqing smiled happily, a warm current flowed in his heart, and walked over to take her into his arms, "Xiaoyu, thank you for appearing." I will tell you if I have something on my mind in the future, as long as you are willing to listen. ”

"If there's someone you like, will you tell me?" The person in his arms suddenly said something terrible.

Baili Huaqing hooked the corners of her mouth, and had the intention to tease her, "I will definitely be." ”

"You?"

Sure enough, the person in his arms couldn't stay still and struggled to push him away. Baili Huaqing hugged him tighter, and laughed loudly: "Xiaoyu, it's not like this." Haven't you always been so confident? Even if you don't have confidence in me, you should have confidence in yourself. ”

Stopping the struggle, Xia Xiaoyu hugged him tightly with his backhand, "You hate it!" Actually teasing me. ”

That's right! Why don't you feel confident?

"Ahem......" A light cough sounded behind him, and the two people who hugged each other slowly let go of each other, turned their heads to see the comer, showed surprise, and got up together to salute, "Ministers (people's daughters), knock on the emperor." ”

"Excuse me!" Wen Sidi smiled and waved his hand.

Baili Huaqing helped Xia Xiaoyu up, raised his eyes to look at Wen Si, and asked lightly: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

"What? Uncle Huang doesn't welcome me? Emperor Wen Si teased, but his gaze swept over Xia Xiaoyu's face.

was bumped into and affectionate, she didn't blush, and there was a happy smile on her face.

Somehow, Emperor Wen Si was a little envious of Baili Huaqing.

Although there are 3,000 beauties in his palace, all of them are obedient masters, even Liu Guifei, who has been favored by him recently, and he has been trained for a long time, but he has not seen any strength.

It was a little fresh at first, but now it's getting boring.

"The emperor laughed." Baili Huaqing stretched out his hand and made an invitation, "Your Majesty, please come to the hall for tea." ”

At this time, Xia Xiaoyu had already instructed Uncle Kang, the chief manager who led Emperor Wen Si in, "Uncle Kang, let people come in with tea." ”

Emperor Wen Sidi called out to Uncle Kang, "Slow! ”

Baili Huaqing and Xia Xiaoyu looked at him in unison, and there was a doubt in their eyes. Emperor Wen Sidi smiled at them, "I heard that Miss Xia is not only good at cooking, but also good at tea. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to drink the tea made by the girl today, and if I can, I'll want to eat the girl's snacks. The girl from the tiger girl said a lot of snacks to the imperial grandmother, and I wanted to try the taste just by listening to it. ”

Xia Xiaoyu blessed her body and responded: "The emperor will try his best to order, and the people's daughter will go and prepare." With that, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard door, and went to the kitchen with all her knowledge.

Baili Huaqing looked at the back of Xia Xiaoyu leaving, thoughtful.
