It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Nanny Qiao and the Queen Mother had a tacit understanding for many years, so as soon as the Queen Mother mentioned "that day", she immediately understood.

Sure enough, the emperor knew about it!

Her heart was beating fast and worry was evident on her face.

The Queen Mother smiled at her and patted her hands gently, "Nothing, the Emperor is fine."

Seeing the empress dowager's appearance, Nanny Qiao felt relieved a little. She frowned and thought carefully.

"That day, the regent came with his guards and drove us out. His guards were guarding the entire Cining Palace. We were worried about the queen mother and had a conflict with them. They also killed our people... The situation was very chaotic at the time. I guess the emperor took advantage of the chaos and slipped in at that time."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was silent for a long time, and then said softly:

"I thought I had kept it a secret, but I didn't expect Hong Er to have known about it long ago. No wonder he killed the regent himself."

The Queen Mother thought of something and smiled again, her brows softening.

"He didn't even think about how a powerful official who once held great power and covered the sky with one hand could be easily assassinated by him in his bedroom, with no one to stop him or rescue him?"

Nanny Qiao knows everything about the Queen Mother.

She said, "The emperor was only seventeen years old at the time, so he probably didn't think too much about it. Later, he was burdened by government affairs and didn't think deeply about it."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, her eyes calm and distant.

She carefully stroked the emerald ring on her finger, which looked like an emerald gem from the deep sea, emitting a calm and deep glow.

How could she let the Regent die of illness?

What he cares about most is power.

Then she poisoned him, causing his health to gradually deteriorate, and finally he was bedridden, completely unable to control the government.

He could only watch helplessly as the power in his hands slipped away little by little until it was completely sidelined.

At the last moment, the people around him had been replaced by her people. When the emperor pierced his chest with a sword, naturally no one stopped him or rescued him.

The Queen Mother curled her lips. The Regent despised women and children the most, thinking that women were just mindless decorations and children were just weak things.

He didn't know that women can also plot, that the child will grow up one day, and that he will eventually die at the hands of someone he despised.

The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor had completely let go of his worries, and in fact, she herself had too.

At this moment, my heart is clear.

Everything is in the past, now she is the queen mother and it is time for her to enjoy life.

"Madam Qiao, the snacks sent by the imperial kitchen yesterday were too sweet. Tell them to put less sugar next time."

Aunt Qiao saw the empress dowager smiling happily, and she also smiled, her eyebrows curved, "Good!"

It was as if when they were still in the palace, the empress dowager was still that love-loving lady, and she was still that little maid who unconditionally accompanied the empress dowager in her play.

It was almost noon, and the sunlight lost its morning chill and became warmer. The soft sunlight spread into the hall, enveloping the two of them in a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

----

Leng Hong did not take the sedan chair, but walked aimlessly.

He was happy because his mother said he was right and that the things he was worried about did not exist at all.

At the same time, he felt ashamed and felt that he was not frank and generous enough for getting angry with his mother because of this matter.

If only I had asked my mother earlier...

However, it’s not easy for him to ask about this kind of thing, right?

Fortunately, the result is good. Now the dust has settled and everything is clear. The Queen Mother is fine, and he is fine too.

Thinking of this, he soon felt relieved and forgave himself in his heart.

The shame in my heart also disappeared, leaving only the joy and pride of being recognized by my mother.

As I walked, I looked up and found myself at the Weiyang Palace.

The palace servants in Weiyang Palace were the smartest. When they saw his figure from afar, they ran into the palace like rabbits to inform Su Wanti.

Su Wanti knew he was coming, so she quickly packed up and stood in front of the palace gate to greet him.

Leng Hong walked over from afar and saw a woman as beautiful as clouds, standing obediently in front of the palace gate waiting for him, smiling softly at him from a distance.

At this moment, he felt soft in his heart.

The haze has dissipated, and the sky is clear and bright.

"Didn't you make snacks today?" He lowered his eyes and asked her with a smile.

Su Wanti hooked his hand, her eyes glowing with warmth under the bright sunlight of midday.

Her voice was soft and tender, "Your Majesty, I will not make snacks today. I only have one thing to do today, which is to wait for Your Majesty to come."

She tilted her head playfully, "Your Majesty is here, I have finished all my work for today, and there is nothing else to do."

Leng Hong's heart softened at the sight of this young woman who devoted herself to him wholeheartedly.

His eyes were gentle as he picked up the young girl and carried her sideways, causing the person in his arms to cry out in surprise.

The louder Su Wanti screamed, the louder Leng Hong laughed.

He lowered his eyes and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so let's do something together!"

He raised his long legs and carried Su Wanti into the inner hall.

To Su Wanti's surprise, he did not carry her directly into the bedroom, but carried her to the desk, let her sit on his lap and talk to him.

From Leng Hong's expression, Su Wanti vaguely realized that he must have encountered something and his mood had some changes.

But since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask.

What's the point of knowing so much?

Besides, if he wanted her to be himself, he would have said it.

Su Wanti nestled softly in Leng Hong's arms, listening to him talk while playing with his big hands attentively.

Leng Hong's palms are broad and warm, with some thin calluses on the bumps on his palms.

There are also some thin calluses on the inside of the thumb and fingertips.

These are the results of his years of sword practice.

Su Wanti gently played with each of his fingers, gently rubbing the thin calluses on his palms.

Her white and delicate fingers felt a slight numbness.

There is also an indescribable sense of security.

Leng Hong lowered his head and saw that she was playing seriously. He chuckled, grabbed her hand and said, "Listen to me carefully."

Su Wanti immediately put on a well-behaved look and said, "Your Majesty, I am listening carefully."

Leng Hong pretended to be stern, "Then what did I say just now?"

"Your Majesty said...haha" Su Wanti couldn't answer, and immediately curved her eyes and pretended to be stupid.

She didn't remember what Leng Hong said just now...

Leng Hong sighed, there was nothing he could do to her, he held down her hands that were groping around and said:

"Just now, I was asking you, what does your mother look like?"

Hearing this, Su Wanti fell silent.

After a moment, she stretched out a pair of white hands, her eyes were clear, and she said to Leng Hong softly,

"Your Majesty, do you think my hands are pretty? Actually, before I entered the palace, my hands were full of cracked fine lines, and my mother's hands were even worse than mine. The cracks on her hands were many and deep, and sometimes they would crack and bleed, causing unbearable pain."
