Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"He's nice to me?

Hahaha, hahahaha, if he was really nice to me, how could he give birth to children with other concubines again and again after welcoming me into the palace?

If he was really good to me, how could he not agree to make Lin'er the crown prince?

Instead, he just stood by and watched Lin'er and his other brothers fight to the death?

If he was really nice to me, why would he remain indifferent while watching my biological nephew being killed by Lin Haoming at the Meridian Gate?

You know, that's the only nephew in my natal family. "

Concubine Li laughed wildly as if she had heard some big joke.

But he smiled, and the tears in his eyes rolled down like broken beads.

That person was the first person she saw in her eyes and placed in her heart.

She loved him with all her heart for more than twenty years.

If he hadn't failed her again and again after saying sweet words to her, how could she be cruel enough to poison him?

Ruan Qing didn't say anything. She agreed with the first one, but she didn't agree with the last two.

There are so many people in the world. It is impossible for the earth to revolve around you just because the emperor has a preference for you.

"Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been ruthless. Only people like you who have no feelings for him and only regard him as a tool for profit can become the ultimate winner.

Ruan Qing, when I heard that the final winner was your mother and son, I felt dissatisfied.

I remember back then, when I was so favored by you, you were as low-key as a shadow and had no sense of presence in the palace.

Apart from receiving a few years of enlightenment education from the princes, your son doesn't even have a teacher around him.

For a long time, Your Majesty may not even remember the names and faces of you mother and son.

In the end, it was you, mother and son, who had the last laugh. How could I be willing to accept this?

When I first got the news, I was so angry that I secretly swore in my heart that I would drag you mother and son down as quickly as possible and take back the position that should belong to us, mother and son.

After seeing you today, I suddenly understood that you deserve this position.

To you, Your Majesty is just a tool for profit.

When I deliberately led him to summon you, I wanted to help your mother-in-law get away with it.

After he had his son, he lurked and watched us fight silently.

As for whom His Majesty favors or does not favor, you don't care at all.

Until we fight to the death and become crippled, you can appear in front of His Majesty with your son in your best appearance.

Your Majesty is tired of seeing our faces that look particularly miserable in order to win the throne, and then he looks at you like the clear sky after the rain, and naturally he feels like he has found a treasure.

It's ridiculous. I claim to be smart, but I have been trapped in the emperor's futile favor all these years, and I have never understood this.

I understand now, but it's too late.

The winner and the loser are willing to gamble and admit defeat.

I will drink this poisonous wine, but I have a request. "Concubine Li shed tears silently for a while, then continued.

"You said."

"After I die, don't bury me next to the emperor, find a quiet place for me.

I just hope that I will never meet him again in the next life. "

Concubine Li raised her sleeves, wiped away the tears that covered her eyes, and looked at Ruan Qing quietly.

"Okay." Ruan Qing was silent for a moment and nodded.

"You are worthy of being the daughter of the Ruan family. It is not unjust that I was defeated by you."

Concubine Li obviously didn't expect that she would actually agree to this request. She looked at her blankly for a while before saying.

After saying this, he picked up the wine in front of him and drank it without hesitation.

The cold liquid slid down the throat and into the abdomen.

After a while, a few strands of blood flowed down her nose and mouth.

Concubine Li seemed not to feel any pain, and there was even a faint smile on her face.

Then he slowly lay down on the table, breathing away bit by bit.

After about half a cup of tea, Ruan Qing looked at Concubine Li, who was lying quietly on the table without making a sound. She sighed softly, stood up, and walked outside the palace.

Que Qi and Jiang Yuan followed her out.

The three of them stood for a moment, then looked up at the sky. After a moment of hesitation, they asked, "Queen Mother, it's getting late. Shall we go back to the palace today?"

"Stay overnight in the imperial mausoleum tonight and let someone clean up the resting room." Ruan Qing said.

"Yes."

In a blink of an eye, it was dark.

The temperature in the Imperial Tomb is lower than that in Beijing at night. After dark, frost and fog quickly form outside.

Ruan Qing seemed not to feel the cold, so he stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

She did not eat supper or enter the palace.

From six o'clock in the morning, we stood until the sky was filled with stars.

"Mother, it's getting cold, we should go inside." Que Qi held a leather cloak in his hand and gently put it on Ruan Qing.

"It's really time to go into the house. I was thinking about something and accidentally fell into a trance. I didn't expect time to fly by so fast."

Ruan Qing came back to his senses and found that his feet were numb and his whole body was cold.

She turned around and moved around for a while. After her blood circulation was normal and her body had some heat, she followed the magpie into the palace.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Yuan brought a bowl of hot soup.

Ruan Qing took it and drank it. After a bowl of delicious hot soup, she felt warm all over.

"Do you need anything else to eat?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"No." Ruan Qing shook his head.

"Queen Mother, are you feeling sorry for Concubine Li?" Que Qi asked hesitantly.

"Sad? I can't say that. I just feel a little emotional. She is more interesting and more courageous than Aijia imagined.

If you don't enter the palace, you may have a good life. " Ruan Qing shook his head.

Concubine Li was the daughter of a merchant. Because she was so beautiful, someone gave her a prophecy.

That is to say, you cannot marry someone who is not the most noble and noble person.

She had been engaged twice before, and each time when she was about to get married, her fiancé died of illness for no apparent reason.

It wasn't until I was nineteen years old, when I met the late emperor and entered the palace, that this evil barrier was broken.

During the years when she was the doting queen of the harem, this past event was talked about by countless people.

“Indeed, before this, Bei Zhi had always disliked Concubine Li and felt that apart from her beauty, she really had nothing to offer.

But her words, deeds and choices today took Bizhang by surprise.

Everyone knows that you are willing to accept defeat when you bet.

But when it comes time to face the outcome of losing, few can face it calmly.

Maybe everyone has multiple sides, but people who are not familiar with them don't know them well enough. " Queqi nodded.

When she was still in the palace, Concubine Li, who dominated the harem, disliked girls like Que Qi and Jiang Yuan who liked to dance with swords and sticks and compete with men everywhere.

She believes that women should be soft and should use their own advantages to make men do things for you willingly.

She doesn't like Que Qi and Jiang Yuan, and the two women also dislike her.

Jiang Yuan left the border at the age of sixteen, and she was the one who forced him to leave.

Concubine Li relied on the emperor's love for her to win over courtiers.

Jiang Yuan's father commanded an army of 100,000 men, so he was naturally a target of wooing.

However, Jiang's father was only loyal to the king's affairs and never took sides, so he declined the attempts of Concubine Li and his son.

Concubine Li held a grudge and tried to force Jiang Yuan out of the capital.
