Do you think that I will really be released by you to check and balance your harem for you, to fight with those two women, and to continue to be your woman?

Thinking of this, the sneer on my lips deepened.

Kneeling on the ground, I lowered my head and saw my bony hands. I could also imagine what my whole person looked like. In the past two years, my body and spirit have been greatly damaged due to confinement, drugs and hunger. Although it is not as good as the previous one.

The scene of the next life after being imprisoned in the cold palace, but I also know that my body was ruined.

I don’t have much strength and emotion left, so how can I be willing to use it on you and your woman?

"Get up, it's cold on the ground."

I heard the Queen Mother's voice, but I didn't get up immediately. Instead, I kowtowed deeper.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao turned his head to salute the Queen Mother, and the concubines around him suddenly reacted and knelt down. Pei Yuanhao leaned over and said: "I don't know why the Queen Mother suddenly came to the cold palace. My son is terrified."

The Queen Mother said calmly: "I heard that this girl is here. The Ai family came to see her."

After saying that, she took two steps toward me, walked up to me, looked down at my skinny appearance, and sighed softly: "Girl, how did you do this?"

Pei Yuanhao's face became more and more ugly.

He said: "It's freezing cold here, and the queen's health is not good to begin with. I'm afraid that the wind will cause serious trouble, so I'd better go to Nuanxiang Pavilion to talk about it later."

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "No need, the Ai family just came over to say a few words and then go back."

"If the mother has anything to say, just tell her son."

The Queen Mother nodded, turned to him and said, "Let this girl go back to Linshui Pagoda with the Ai family."

"..."

Pei Yuanhao still leaned over and did not move, while Nangong Lizhu and Shen Rou, who were kneeling next to them, moved slightly and looked at me sharply.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while and said, "Why did the queen take her back to Linshui Pagoda?"

The Queen Mother said calmly: "The emperor and the concubines in the harem are all smart people. The Ai family are not worried, they are only worried about this ungrateful girl. Let her follow the Ai family back to Linshui Pagoda and listen to Buddha every day

Cultivation of the mind can also be regarded as a good outcome for her, what does the emperor think?"

"..."

"Besides, there are so many people in this palace, and this girl is the only one who has an appetite for the Ai family. With her accompanying the Ai family, the Ai family is not so lonely, and they don't want to think about tonsure."

"..."

Pei Yuanhao still didn't speak, but the two women behind him seemed to be unable to kneel. It was Shen Rou who spoke first and said: "The Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother will think twice."

"Huh?"

"The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and loves Yue Qingying very much, but she is not a kind-hearted person. Back then——"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao turned around and glanced at her coldly. Shen Rou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Nianshen beside the queen, but couldn't say the next words.

The Queen Mother said calmly: "The Ai family also heard about what happened back then."

As she said that, she looked down at me: "Girl, what do you think?"

I was still kneeling on the ground. Although my knees and hands were frozen, I didn't feel sad at all. My voice was calm and without a trace of ripples: "The daughter of the common people knows that she has sinned deeply. She just wants to follow the Queen Mother and chant Buddha and meditate every day to redeem herself.

I hope the Queen Mother will fulfill my sin."

"Yes." She nodded, then turned to look at Pei Yuanhao, then glanced at the concubines kneeling on the ground behind him, and said calmly: "God has the virtue of good life, and this girl has already suffered it.

After so many years of suffering, why must she be exterminated? Your Majesty, please leave her alive."

Pei Yuanhao leaned over and cupped his hands. He made no move, but as if grinding his teeth, he finally said: "Respect the Queen Mother's decree."

.

It wasn't until I stepped into the gate of Linshui Pagoda that I felt completely relieved.

This relaxation caused me to become limp. The Queen Mother hurriedly pointed to a few maids and palace maids to come over and help me get on the bed. She also ordered the kitchen to prepare some soft food for me. The Linshui Pagoda has not seen any meat or fish for many years.

But as soon as the Queen Mother gave the order, the imperial dining room quickly delivered ginseng chicken soup and other nourishing things.

I still didn't eat much, but when I lay on the bedside, my body hurt even when I breathed. My hands and feet couldn't be used at all, and only cold sweat dripped from my forehead like broken beads.

Aunt Gui has been wiping my sweat, while the Queen Mother is sitting on the edge of the bed, with her hands clasped on her knees, looking at me calmly.

It wasn't until I drank a bowl of hot chicken soup and ate some porridge that I felt a little better. The Queen Mother looked at my gray face and said, "How did you get yourself into this?"

I smiled apologetically.

"Girl." Her voice was still calm, but it was a little more heavy and majestic. She said word by word: "Although the Ai family likes you, this matter involves the emperor's reputation and the safety of the harem. If you

If you are wrong, the Ai family will not condone you. You have to tell the truth to the Ai family about what happened over the years!"

I raised my head and looked at her.

She looked into my eyes and said, "The Ai family heard that you remarried outside the palace?"

"..." I was silent for a moment and nodded.

"You are so brave."

I bowed my head and said nothing. Although the Queen Mother has always been indifferent to Pei Yuanhao, he is her son after all. As a mother-in-law, no matter how generous I am, I will not be happy.

However, the Queen Mother did not continue to scold me. She looked at me for a while and suddenly said: "What kind of person is that?"

"He's a fisherman."

"A fisherman?"

I nodded and looked up at the Queen Mother. She was still looking at me calmly, and suddenly she seemed to smile, but I didn't know whether she was laughing at me or something else. There was just an indescribable confusion in her gaze.

.

I thought about it and said softly: "At that time, I thought I would never have to go back to the palace again. I just wanted to live a good life with him..."

"Is he a good person?"

"Okay...very good." When he said that, his eyes couldn't help but feel hot, and his voice was choked with sobs. He forced a smile and said: "Although he is poor, he is a very ambitious young man. If his life is better, at least he should be

He is a minister who governs the world and is a minion of the country. Even the emperor said when he saw him that his knowledge was different from that of ordinary people."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "The emperor has also seen him?"

"Yeah."

"Where is he now?"

I lowered my head and said softly: "I don't know where he went after I left."

At this point, the tears in my eyes were about to burst out, but I could only grit my teeth and endure it. Thinking back to the day I broke up with him, it felt like the whole world collapsed. That kind of pain, until now when I think about it,

It's still tearing my heart apart.

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Do you want to leave the palace just for him? Do you want to go find him?"

I shook my head.

The days I spent with him were dreams that I never wanted to wake up from, but maybe he would never be willing to remember me again in this lifetime.

I don’t deserve to go find him again.

"Then why do you want to leave the palace?"

I slowly raised my head and looked at the Queen Mother, and said solemnly: "Queen Mother, I - when I left the Emperor, I was already pregnant with his child. Later, I gave birth to a daughter."

"What?!" The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this: "You gave birth to a daughter for the emperor?"

"Yes."

"What about the child?"

Having said this, I tightened the sheets under me and said: "More than two years ago, Shengjing's army went south. The emperor took me to the north. The child stayed in Dezhou, while the emperor and I went to Dongzhou.

, but——when we go back——”

"What's wrong with the child?"

"Child, we were attacked."

"What?" The Queen Mother suddenly turned pale and grabbed my hand: "Then, the child is dead?"

"I don't know." I shook my head: "The guard official said that the child was taken away by Pei Yuanxiu."

"Yuan——Xiu?"

The Queen Mother's expression changed several times for a while. After being silent for a long time, she slowly said to herself: "No wonder the emperor has been sending more people outside the palace these years. There are only a lot more people every year, but what?

There was no result, and I didn't tell the Ai family. It turned out - it turned out to be the child's problem." She thought for a while, turned to look at me and said: "However, since the emperor has been searching for so many years and still hasn't found it, you -" <

/p>

I said: "It is precisely because the emperor is looking for it that I can't find it."

The Queen Mother was slightly startled and looked at me: "Pei Yuanxiu...is he doing it for you?"

I nodded silently.

"The person who attacked the child is Nangong Lizhu?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "It's her!"
