I don’t know what he is going to say, but facing him at such a close distance, even though I know that I have nothing to lose, I still feel a tremor coming from the bottom of my heart, and I can’t help but clench my fists.

.

At this time, he suddenly said: "Did you mention Fu Badai's matter to the Queen?"

"..." My heart sank slightly, I looked up at him, thought about it, and nodded.

"Do you know this person?"

"..." I thought for a moment and then whispered: "Fu Badai has a very high reputation in Shu."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at me with that scrutinizing gaze, as if he wanted to see through my eyes into my heart. I had already made up my mind not to speak anymore, closed my mouth and lowered my head in silence.

The silence, like a confrontation, made Jingren Palace a little gloomy. I don't know how long it lasted. He finally let out a breath and didn't look at me again.

I felt relieved. I was about to turn around and leave, but I heard a burst of chaotic footsteps behind me. Before I could turn around, Chang Qing's voice sounded at the door: "Your Majesty? I pay my respects to your Majesty."

Following her voice, more warblers and swallows sounded behind her. When I looked back, I saw a large group of concubines in brocade clothes and emerald heads behind her. They all bowed down to Pei Yuanhao. He left.

Go up: "Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I hurriedly stepped aside, but I could feel a few familiar eyes falling on me like needles. Pei Yuanhao looked at them lightly and said, "Why are you all here?"

"Oh, the sisters are leaving the palace to go to the Ancestral Temple, so they all came here to visit the eldest prince today. Unexpectedly, the emperor also came to Jingren Palace."

Hearing the smile in her words, I also smiled in my heart. Those concubines who came to visit were not Nianshen. As soon as I left the Linshui Pagoda, I was afraid someone would spread the news, but it was only a meal.

Everyone in the palace knew about it. They were naturally worried that the emperor was coming here. I couldn't help but look up and saw that the crowd at the door was packed with people.

Pei Yuanhao also smiled, and when he looked at a figure in the crowd, his eyes softened: "Why are you here too? Didn't I ask you to rest more?"

Nangong Lizhu's soft voice sounded: "I am inconvenienced and cannot go to the Ancestral Temple to pray for the eldest prince, but I still want to come and have a look."

I raised my head and glanced at her, but she didn't seem to see me. Her face was as soft and soft as usual. Even though she was pregnant with Liujia, she still stood out among the beautiful and fragrant concubines. Time and pregnancy did not diminish this most beautiful woman in the celestial dynasty.

Her beauty, even if the women around her are outstanding, can't take away half of her brilliance.

I haven't walked around the harem for several years, but since I came to Jingren Palace, Aunt Gui, who is beside the Queen Mother, still told me about the situation in the harem - Lu Xinrong was promoted to Zhaoyi, Zhu Fanghua was promoted to Chongyi, Pang Yan watched

She looks much more mature than a few years ago, and she is currently a beauty; Wen Sisi has been promoted to a groomer... In addition to the talented Yuan Yueming, there are also some new faces, who should be newly canonized in the past few years.

The only person who has not been promoted is Zhaoyi Liu Li, who is still standing far away from the crowd, his eyes still as indifferent as ice.

Looking at her through the crowd, I also had a feeling of despair in my heart, but soon, my attention was attracted by the figure next to Shen Rou. She was a little familiar, but not as usual, wearing gold and silver.

The domineering look made me look a little dazzled.

Yuwen, the woman who killed her master to gain promotion, has now been canonized as Jieyu.

I looked at her, with Nian Shen still lying on the bed hanging in the corner of my eyes. I couldn't help but grit my teeth, and the way she looked at me revealed a hint of sinister coldness.

Shen Rou also saw me and glanced at Yuwen again coldly. This vicious woman immediately showed a panicked expression, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, why is this woman here? The eldest prince is currently recovering from illness.

Ah, if she were in this place——"

The implication is self-evident.

Lu Zhaoyi also immediately said: "Yes, this woman is here, I am afraid that the eldest prince..."

Pei Yuanhao did not speak, but Chang Qing said: "Yue Qingying came to Jingren Palace because the eldest prince asked me to do so. I wanted to do this because she and the eldest prince have a close friendship. The eldest prince is sick and I can't bear it."

If I disappoint him, I will grant the eldest prince’s request, and I hope the emperor will grant it.”

Before Pei Yuanhao opened his mouth, Shen Rou had already said coldly: "The Queen is very kind-hearted. Have you forgotten what happened four years ago?"

Chang Qing smiled calmly: "Yue Qingying has also paid the price for what she has done. Besides, she is now inspired by the Queen Mother to meditate and chant Buddha in the sleeping pagoda all day long. I also believe that she has changed her mind. Why not give her a chance to redeem herself?"

What about your own sin?"

Shen Rou frowned and wanted to say something else, but Pei Yuanhao had already said: "Okay."

When everyone heard this, they immediately held their breath and remained silent.

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me and said calmly: "Since the queen said so and the queen mother said so, I will allow you to play."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

When Shen Rou heard the emperor's words, her face suddenly turned pale, but she could only remain silent. But at this moment, Nangong Lizhu on the side took a step forward gently and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Queen, your Majesty

, I have something to say."

Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly, but still said: "Zhu'er, what do you have to say?"

Nangong Lizhu glanced at me, smiled faintly, and said: "I entered the palace late, and I only heard about what happened before, but what happened four years ago was also shocking. The emperor and the queen are kind-hearted.

, although God’s grace is great, the safety of the eldest prince is at stake.

The foundation of the country should not be dealt with lightly. Moreover, it will take ten days for the emperor and the empress to leave the palace and go to the Ancestral Temple to enshrine Zen. Even if the concubine cares about the eldest prince, she has limited mobility and cannot come to visit often. If something goes wrong, who will come?

Where are you responsible?"

What she said was very gentle, but it was so subtle that even Chang Qing couldn't help but frown.

Shen Rou glanced at her with a sneer in her eyes.

The atmosphere became a little tense. All the concubines looked at Pei Yuanhao, and some looked at me. At this moment, Chang Qing said calmly: "Since this decision was made by me, what happened?

, the responsibility will naturally be borne by me."

"...!"

Everyone, even Pei Yuanhao, looked at her with surprised expressions.

I was even more shocked - Chang Qing has always been an outsider in this harem, and she has a wise and protective attitude. She, the queen, has been able to stay peacefully between Shen Rou and Nangong Lizhu for so many years. It is precisely because of this attitude.

But now that she has done this, she has clearly involved herself in the whirlpool between Shen Rou, Nangong Lizhu and me!

Moreover, what Nangong Lizhu said just now has already pushed the matter to a dead end. If Chang Qing takes this responsibility, it means that she has embarked on this dead end.

If something really happened, then she——

Why did she do this?

Just when everyone was stunned, Chang Qing looked at Nangong Lizhu and smiled calmly: "Sister Li Fei, are you relieved like this?"

After all, Nangong Lizhu didn't expect her to say that. Her face was slightly ugly, but she immediately made a forced smile: "Since the Queen has said so, I can't rest assured." As she said that, she smiled again.

He looked at me and said, "I just hope that she will not betray the Queen's trust."

Those concubines originally came to Jingren Palace to see the emperor. After the incident was over, Pei Yuanhao went to Concubine Li's Yuhua Palace to have dinner with her, and everyone dispersed.

Liu Zhaoyi, on the other hand, glanced at me before leaving, but didn't say much.

I can tell that her life has not been satisfactory in the past two years. She is the only concubine who has not been promoted. It can be seen that the death of her father and brother has left this woman with no way out in the harem.

But my heart was still a little palpitating. I watched Chang Qing walk to the bedside and lowered her head to look deeply for a while. I walked over gently: "The Queen..."

She smiled faintly and turned her head: "I want to ask you why I believe you so much?"

"..."

"What I believe is not you."

"Then, who is it?"

She smiled faintly, but did not speak. She just sat down at the table. Her face still looked dignified and elegant under the gray candlelight, but she also showed a bit of fatigue when facing those women before. I soaked it.

A cup of ginseng tea was offered to her. She took it and took a sip. Suddenly she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I have one more thing to ask you."

"Queen, please speak."

"Concerning Fu Badai's matter, after listening to my advice, the Emperor no longer intends to use imperial edicts to suppress him. He plans to use the methods of those literati and send a message to invite him to go north."

As soon as I heard this, a smile immediately appeared on my face.

This seems to be the best method at present, but I am also a little lucky that Pei Yuanhao's attitude towards Fu Badai is not bad, so that things will not really become stalemate.

"But whoever posted this post has some knowledge." Chang Qing gently stirred the tea with a tea lid and said slowly: "In your opinion, who is the most suitable person to post this post?"

I frowned slightly and looked down at her.

She is not enthusiastic about Nian Shen's affairs, she just takes the most basic care. I can feel this in Nian Shen's words before, but this time about Fu Badai's matter, she seems to be a little too enthusiastic.

And she communicates with me about everything, which doesn’t seem to be her usual approach.

These words don't seem to be asked by her, but rather like someone else asking them and she is the one who speaks them.

Thinking of this, I forced a smile: "These things are big things, how do women know about them?"

She looked up at me and said with a smile: "Yue Qingying, you know."

"..."

Chang Qing was still smiling, without even the slightest sign of changing her face, but there was an invisible pressure coming from her. After becoming a country, this woman did not only rely on her father's status and her adopted brother's military exploits.

There is a reason why Pei Yuanhao has allowed her to sit on the throne for so many years.

I looked back at Nian Shen, and finally sighed and said: "This post, even if it is posted in the name of someone in the palace, is inappropriate."
