The emperor's bedroom, the candle flame is faint. www.biquge.info When Empress Yuanqing walked in, she almost thought that she was dazzled, but she saw that the emperor, who always revealed a fierce light in his eyes before, now looked like an old man who was about to die, and his sloppy eyes frequently revealed the appearance of death.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Qing didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding to call out this sentence, and his tangled voice revealed distress, resentment and a little relief.

Feeling Yuan Qing's fluctuating emotions, the emperor slowly turned his head to look at Yuan Qing. He is the emperor in the end, even if his spirit is not good now, his body is not as good as before, but the majesty of his life when he was the emperor is still there, he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with the queen, she is so out of shape?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine just wants to ask the emperor why he summoned the concubine late at night?" Yuan Qing blessed his body and bowed to the emperor, and asked calmly.

Seeing that she had returned to normalcy and his gaze returned to a stagnant state, the emperor turned his head back and said in a low voice, "Today, the crown prince of the northern kingdom asked to marry Princess Shurou as soon as possible, and the time I discussed with him is three days later, you are the master of the harem, and I can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"The concubine is the lord of the harem and can control the marriage of the harem princess, but the concubine has no right to interfere in the political affairs of the marriage between the two countries. Yuan Qing asked respectfully.

The Emperor snorted coldly, "You always think about him all the time!" He was silent for a long time, and when he saw that Yuan Qing was still there, he patted the quilt angrily and shouted, "Do you think I still have the ability to interfere with him now?" ”

Yuan Qing's face did not change, and he said repeatedly, "Please Your Majesty's permission!" ”

The emperor glanced at Yuan Qing in disgust, and waved his hand extremely impatiently, "Yes, yes!" As he spoke, he struggled to slide down and lay flat on the bed. Yuan Qing hurriedly went up, lightly helped him fiddle out a comfortable position, and then retreated silently.

Early the next morning, Princess Shurou got married three days later, and the decree of the queen and the crown prince to jointly deal with the marriage of Princess Shurou was promulgated. All of a sudden, the palace, which had been silent for many years, was finally lively again from the inside out.

In the damp dungeon, the sound of chains moving disturbed the rats stealing their food, and the wooden door creaked open. The jailer tightened his hat and rudely placed the food box in his hand on the stinking hay-covered cell floor, shouting, "Eat quickly! Count your old boy lucky these days, Princess Shurou will get married in three days, the prince has an order, reduce the punishment, although you can't be pardoned, but you have been approved by the boss, you can eat a good meal every day, steal the fun! After saying that, he turned around and left. He had just walked out of the cell door and closed the door, and before he could lock it, his hand was suddenly grabbed by a pair of dirty black hands covered with dirt in his nails.

"What are you doing? Come on, people! As soon as the jailer shouted, a large number of jailers came at once, and they quickly gathered around and drew their knives and pointed at the people in the cell. The man's messy mud and grass clippings hair hung down to cover his face, and a few days of decadence had made his beard grow wildly and messily. He looked at the movement around him, slowly raised his head, his eyes showed madness, and the voice of his mouth was like torn cloth, and the break was not very neat, "You just said...... Sook Yau ...... Want to get married? ”

It turned out that this person was Shuming, who was taken into custody that day, and he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn for the crime of defrauding the king.

When the jailer saw that there were so many people around, he instantly felt enough confidence, thinking that he had just been frightened by a prisoner and lost his image, so he immediately became angry, and took advantage of Shuming's unpreparedness to reach into the empty hand from between the fences and slammed Shuming in the stomach. Shuming let go of him in pain, and at the same time, he staggered back a few steps due to the momentum, and finally fell on the hay. His hands clutched tightly on the two handfuls of hay under him, his eyes were scarlet, his face was distorted, and he roared loudly, "It's all her, it's all because of her!" For her, I lost my official position, and because of her, I was forced to bear the crime of bullying the king, and now I am going to lose my life again! I knew I should have strangled her in the first place! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! Come on, quick, shut his mouth! The jailer's face changed greatly when he heard his words, although Shuming kept saying "she" and did not point out Shuli's name, but this is a prison, and they are jailers, who is locked up here, what has been committed, but they are clear, and naturally they know the relationship between Shuming and Shuli!

Three or two jailers opened the cell door and rushed into the cell to pick up Shuming, and the last one picked up a dirty rag on the ground and stuffed it into Shuming's mouth. Shuming couldn't speak, and the jailer suddenly became proud again, "Tie him up and teach him the rules!" ”

The other jailers responded to the call, only to see them surround Shuming in the middle and punch and kick him. The jailer turned away satisfied, and as he passed by the food box, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked it over. With a clatter, the dishes shattered, and the food spilled all over the floor. The jailer said to the other jailer at the door with a flying expression, "In the future, his dishes will be the same as before!" Dare to scold the princess, it's just that she died too slowly! ”

"Yes!" The jailer whispered.

Fengqi Palace, the palace that has been haunted by the smell of incense and the sound of knocking wooden fish for many years has been quiet for the first time today, and there is a trace of fireworks in the world.

"Queen Mother, are you looking for me?" Shuli walked into the main hall, and unlike the legend, she felt a pure calm aura.

"Why is it still called the queen of the palace? Since the emperor recognized you as a righteous daughter, you will come to this palace to be your stepmother! Yuan Qing said disapprovingly.

"Mother-in-law!" Shuli obediently changed his name. Although the queen is from her cousin's side, she doesn't want to have too much contact with the people in the harem. In fact, it is not a big deal to call the mother-in-law, according to her life experience, even if she is called the mother-in-law, it is not an exaggeration. As soon as Shuli thought so, she saw Yuan Qing beckoning to her, and Shuli walked towards the dressing mirror beside her with half a minute of hesitation.

"Sit down!" Yuan Qing's voice was very gentle. Shuli thought about it, she probably wanted to dress herself up in advance, so she sat down without hesitation. Sure enough, I saw Yuan Qing wrap around behind her and began to gently loosen her hair. For some reason, Yuan Qing seemed to shake her head, but after coming back to her senses, she herself smiled, "When you look closely, you look like your mother!" ”

Hearing this, Shuli's body suddenly straightened, and she asked with a smile, "The queen has seen my mother?" ”

Yuan Qing was not ambiguous, and said directly, "No, I used to see it every day and hate it, but then she died, and I began to sympathize with her again!" Looking at Shuli's defensive face, Yuan Qing smiled again, "Look, look, I'm just talking casually, what are you nervous about?" Shuming's words, the emperor actually believed it, but he couldn't believe it, as an emperor who shouldered the continuation of the country that his ancestors had beaten down, he was even more afraid that he would have no successor, so after dripping blood and confessing his relatives, he did not investigate all kinds of details and ended hastily! And this palace is the one who is convinced. When Concubine Shu was pregnant, the palace had secretly sent someone to check her pulse, and the imperial doctor clearly said that Concubine Shu's pulse was like a female fetus, but she gave birth to a prince. Hongu thought at the time that it was probably the imperial doctor who deliberately said it to her in order to make her happy. Now everything fits together! ”

"Since the queen mother knows that the dust has settled on this matter, what is the purpose of deliberately mentioning it now?" Shuli's hands were folded neatly on his knees, and his eyes were dark.

"Don't be nervous, this palace is just sighing when I see you walking!" Yuan Qing sighed.

"Exclamation?" Shuli wondered, what is there to sigh when she looks at her?

Yuan Qing took out a hairpin from his head and inserted it diagonally into the bun that had just been tied up for Shuli, lowered his head and smiled, "Look, how beautiful!" ”

Shuli glanced at the hairpin, and at first glance, it looked very expensive. She hurriedly reached out and took off the hairpin from her head, handed it to Yuan Qing with both hands and said, "How can Shuli accept such a valuable reward from the queen mother for no reason?" ”

"It's not a reward!" Yuan Qing followed her last voice and said quickly, "It's the return of things to their original owners!" ”

Now Shuli is even more puzzled, because this is not her thing at all!

Yuan Qing pressed Shuli back into the chair and said slowly, "This hairpin belongs to the concubine." Back then, I was still quite majestic as the lord of the harem, and the most bad thing about the women in the harem was money, but everyone would like the treasures, the show girls came from different houses, and their respective houses collected different treasures, and sometimes, they offended the palace or wanted to tie up the palace, and they would offer these treasures. Concubine Shu is one of them. But at that time, Concubine Shu was in full swing, and the limelight had long overshadowed the palace, so there was no need to do anything more. Now that I think about it, it turns out that she just wants to borrow the hand of this palace to leave a memory for her daughter! ”

Hearing her say this, Shuli suddenly felt a trace of sourness in her heart. She has never seen that woman, she is a victim of the harem conspiracy, but in fact, her resourcefulness is not inferior to anyone, she is kind by nature, so she will imitate Yun Mo's jade pendant to leave a way back for her cousin, so she knows that she is in danger but still wants to leave a thought for her daughter who is outside the palace, it is just a thought, a mother's simple thought, not a proof of identity!

The book glass rubbed the hairpin in the hand, and suddenly felt that the hairpin body was a little rough, and when I lifted it up and looked carefully, there was a small word "glass" engraved on it!

Yuan Qing also saw the words on it, revealing a clear expression, and at the same time, the emotion on his face was even worse!

"Queen, can I go?" Shuli suddenly asked, now her mind was in turmoil, for someone she had never seen before. But in reality, she's not really a scholar! Unless, this is the original owner's own emotions. The queen did not speak, nodded and let her go.

As soon as Shuli returned to Shurou Palace, he saw Xia Er waiting in the palace. Shuli's image of Xia Er is very good, and when she sees her, she happily goes over to greet her.

"Xia'er, why are you here?"

"Miss Cousin, Shuwu wants to see you!" Xia Er said with some concern, "I've been persuading him for the past few days, but his reaction is very strange!" ”

"What's this strange method?" Shuli asked.

"He was quiet and looked normal, as if he didn't know anything! Miss Cousin, you better not go! If he doesn't listen, I can keep him locked up for two more days until he realizes the reality! Xia Er's eyes were slightly cold. The corners of Shu'er's mouth twitched and looked at Xia Er with a domineering face, this method sounds good, but when it is used on Shuwu's body, it is estimated that he will have to be locked up until he is old enough to admit defeat!

For the sake of An Xia'er's heart, Shuli looked at Xia Er and said, "You go and talk to Yun Mo, and then accompany me!" ”

Xia Er saw that Shuli's mind had been decided, thinking that if Yun Gongzi didn't object, there should be no problem, so she left the hall. After a while, Xia Er and Shuli left the palace lightly.

In an inconspicuous inn in the imperial capital, Xia Er went upstairs and entered the room with Shuli.

Shuwu sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, and he didn't take a sip of the tea in front of him when it was cold. In fact, in order to prevent him from escaping, Xia Er put a little medicine in his food to restrict his movement to a certain extent, so according to Shuwu's current physical fitness, it is a little difficult to carry a pot of tea. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shuwu's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned his head to look at the door, "Little sister!" ”

"It's rare that you still recognize me! Say, what are you looking for me? Shuli walked straight to him and sat down, and asked nonchalantly. She didn't owe them anything in the first place, and she didn't need to be sorry.

"Little sister, I want to apologize to you! Actually, I've figured it out in the past few days, but I know that if I say I've figured it out, they'll just let me go, and I'll never see you again! Shuwu lowered his head and raised his head to look at Shuli seriously, and after a long time, he continued, "Believe it or not, our three brothers have always liked you very much, and they treat you as their own sister!" ”

Seeing that his words were sincere, Shuli couldn't help but be a little moved, she picked up the tea that Xia Er had poured in her hand and said, "I know." In fact, the eldest brother could have killed me in the back garden that day, if you killed me in that situation, according to Shuming's temper, I shouldn't blame you too much! But you chose to knock me out, and then you pretended to pass by and sent me back because you were afraid that I would lie in the garden and catch a cold, and at the same time, you also exposed yourself! So, I don't blame you! In fact, Shufu is just affected by Shuming, and you don't have to intercede for your two younger brothers, all of them have human lives on their hands, which is also a reasonable punishment! ”

"How can they have human lives on their hands?" Shuwu asked in disbelief. His two younger brothers forget about Shuwen, but Shuyuan has always been honest.

Shuli knew that he didn't believe it, so she took out some of the information about Shuyuan's murder that Yun Mo had brought to Xia'er, including the information on the assassination of Shuwu, and pushed it in front of him, "Seeing is believing, you can see for yourself!" ”

Shuwu opened the information with trembling hands, and his hands trembled even more after reading it. Shuli has reason to believe that he is giving Shuyuan Qi!

"If Shufu hadn't been implicated by Shuming, then big brother, you would probably have been killed by Shuyuan unknowingly one day!" Shuli said lightly.

"Smack-" Shuwu didn't speak, but slapped it heavily on the table in anger.

Shuli gave Xia Er a look, Xia Er walked to Shu Wu's side, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and handed it to him, "Antidote!" ”
