Compared with Xiangmo's stupid loyalty, Xiangyan is much smarter and more transparent.

She used all the secrets she knew from the Queen's side over the years to exchange for the Queen's one more year of life.

The additional condition is that during this year, the queen must be "taken care of" by her personally.

Therefore, when Lu Zan came to Kunning Palace today, what he saw was the queen's appearance after being taken care of by Xiang Yan.

Alive, but seemingly dying.

He is not dead yet, but he seems to be suffering from torture that is even more painful than death.

"How does it feel to be betrayed and retaliated by one of your former confidants?" Lu Zan sat down beside him with a lazy and solemn expression, looking at the queen in front of him with a sarcastic tone.

The queen smiled slightly.

She really didn't expect that Xiang Yan, the palace maid who she trusted the most, seemed loyal, honest and silent, would always have a strong hatred for her hidden in her heart.

"The emperor should have experienced the feeling of being betrayed more than I do."

The queen's face was pale, and her whole body showed a sense of weakness and fatigue, but her tone was very leisurely, as if she was still the dignified, generous and aloof queen of the past.

At this time, she glanced at Lu Zan with a look full of ridicule, "After all, since the time of the Eastern Palace, there have always been women who cuckolded the emperor because they couldn't stand his ruthlessness, right?"

Lu Zan's face turned even colder in an instant.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The Queen bowed with a hypocritical expression, raised the corners of her lips, and continued to say words that she was not afraid of death, "But what I said is true. The Emperor's women are always full of expectations for the Emperor. But they were heartbroken by the emperor's cold and heartless attitude. The smart ones betrayed the emperor early, while the clumsy ones, like Zheng Liangdi, not only lost their hearts, but also risked their lives.

"The ones who are even more stupid are like Concubine Xie, who was originally a noble daughter of the Xie family. She tortured herself into a lunatic just because she liked the emperor. In the end, she was brutally executed by the man she loved personally.

"If anyone falls in love with someone like the Emperor, there will be no good end for him. This concubine knows this better than anyone else.

"Oh, I just didn't expect that someone like the Emperor would actually fall in love with someone else."

Lu Zan's eyes became colder again.

He looked at the queen, and his whole body was aroused with a bit of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, how does it feel to kill the woman you love the most?" The queen asked with a smile that was still fearless of death.

"You want to force me to kill you, but I won't kill you." Lu Zan looked at her with cold eyes, "I want to see what else you can say to try to anger me."

"Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. My concubine said this, but Your Majesty did not fall into the trap." The Queen lowered her eyes with regret.

Lu Zan glanced at her and looked away.

He didn't bother to look at her more.

From Xiang Yan's mouth, he had learned that the reason why the queen set up a trap to kill Zhao Bin and Jing Shu was because she did not want him to have any more children.

"When she was still in the East Palace, the Empress betrayed the Emperor, had an affair with a guard, and became pregnant with a child. However, during that time, the Emperor had never been to her room. Once her pregnancy was exposed, the status of the Crown Princess would be In order to keep her position as Crown Princess, she took abortion pills to abort the child, and killed the guard and all the imperial doctors and servants who knew about it, leaving only the slaves and Xiangmo.

"Your Majesty, that guard is my cousin, and I was originally engaged to you.

"The Queen originally promised her that when she turns twenty-five, she will let her go home and marry her cousin... But she broke her promise!

"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to tell the Emperor all the secrets of the Queen. I just ask the Emperor to agree to spare the Queen's life for just one year and let me 'take care' of her. I want to avenge my cousin and myself!"

Xiang Yan cried and said this, and then told Lu Zan, "The Queen feels that the women around the Emperor have changed one after another, and such behavior is a betrayal of her, so she also committed the same betrayal.

"She said that she was the emperor's first wife, but none of the emperor's children were hers, which was unfair. Therefore, she wanted the emperor to have no more children. If he had any heirs, she would kill one.

"The reason why the Queen did not touch the eldest prince and princess was because Zheng Liangdi was kind to her. She designed to help Concubine Xie to kill Zheng Liangdi, and she felt guilty. As for the eldest princess, it was Concubine Ning who protected the eldest princess. Well, she didn't have a chance to make a move.

"This time, Concubine Zhao was born prematurely and Concubine Yuan was killed. It was all planned by the Queen. She said that Concubine Yuan had never lost in fights with other people in the harem. She wanted to give it a try. If she fought Concubine Yuan , will you lose?"

At this time, Lu Zan recalled this, and the last words Jing Shu said to him before his death came to mind.

"You still lost." Lu Zan suddenly said to the queen, "You did things perfectly. I really can't find evidence to convict you. But before Shu'er died, she knew that you did everything. She also knew Chishuang is your person.

"She is dead, but I am still here, and I will fight you for her.

"You killed Zheng Liangdi and Shu'er. I will settle the matter with you one year later."

Lu Zan said and stood up to leave.

Behind her, the Queen's words rang out unexpectedly: "Your Majesty, I am very curious, do you really like Jing Shu?"

Lu Zan frowned and turned to look at her.

She looked at him solemnly and said word by word: "You are such a heartless person who likes the new and hates the old. Now you are really sad about Jing Shu's death. It is really shocking to me.

"But I want to see more, how long will your sad love last?

"The New Year has passed, and after the spring begins, there will be a new draft in the palace.

"Your Majesty, there are so many new people like flowers. Each one is more beautiful and lovable than the last. I am just waiting with my eyes wide open to see how long you can maintain your love for Jing Shu after you have a new one!"

In the royal garden.

Lu Zan seemed to be walking aimlessly, with the Queen's words swirling in his mind. His expression was gloomy, and his whole body was filled with a chill that made people afraid to approach.

Wang Zhong followed, but did not dare to remind him that this was the direction to Yicui Palace.

However, if we go further, we will reach Yicui Palace.

He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a woman's sharp scolding voice coming from in front of him: "You are a slave, but you still don't kneel down when you see me! Are you tired of living?"

Then, another voice that was neither humble nor arrogant came. When Wang Zhong heard it, he recognized it as the voice of Xiu Qing, the maid of Yicui Palace: "If you want to return the favor to the beauty, I really don't want to kneel down. I'm tired of living. Please give me a good time, the beauty." , slave, you might as well go down and accompany our lady!"

Respect the beauty?

Isn't this the Jing clan member whom Taifu Jing sent to the palace?

Wang Zhong quickly glanced at Lu Zan and saw that his expression was extremely cold but he did not make a sound, so he stood aside quietly.

"Okay, okay! You want to die, don't you! I will give you a good time now!" Jing Wei was so angry when she saw Xiu Qing being so disrespectful that she immediately wanted to kill her.

"Young master, no!" However, the palace maid Xiu Chun immediately stopped her and calmly persuaded her, "She is a servant of Empress Yuan. The Holy One is grieving for the death of Empress Yuan. If she dies, the Holy One will know that she is the mistress." If the Lord did it, that would be bad!”

"Empress Yuan! What bullshit Empress Yuan! She is just a fake who entered the palace in my place!" Jing Wei gritted her teeth in anger.

She was quite unscrupulous in her words.

Anyway, Jing Shu is dead and no one knows that she is the real fake!

When Xiuchun heard her talking like this outside, she was so frightened that she just wanted to dissuade her.

The next moment, a bright yellow figure with a cold and solemn aura appeared. The young emperor looked at Jing Wei gloomily and asked in a cold tone: "What fake? What do you mean by this?"
