After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

It's quiet at night.

The Queen has not yet rested.

She lay on the wind bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

I felt empty inside, and panicky from time to time, as if I had a bad premonition.

There was a sound of light footsteps approaching, and the door was slowly pushed open.

There was always an oil lamp left in the queen's room.

She thought it was her personal maid coming to add lamp oil and didn't pay much attention to it.

It was not until the footsteps stopped in the room and did not leave that she asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Can't you come see your sister-in-law if you have nothing to do?"

Meng Qianqian's unhurried voice rang out in the dark night, like a dull hammer, hitting the queen's heart hard.

The queen sat up, lifted the curtain and took a closer look, her brows furrowed.

Meng Qianqian wore Lu Fengyin's clothes and used Lu Fengyin's voice, but her face was clearly not Lu Fengyin's.

Even if the Queen of Ashes turned into this face, she would recognize it.

Shock, complexity, and suspicion flashed across the queen's face...

After a long while, she said in a daze: "Who... are you?"

"Sister-in-law, don't you recognize Feng Yin so soon?"

Meng Qianqian walked to the incense burner and gently fanned the warm incense, "Feng Yin mixed this calming incense for sister-in-law, do you like it?"

The queen felt a chill down her spine. "No wonder I've been feeling sleepy these days. I thought it was because of my weak body, but it turns out you were the one behind it! You're so bold that you actually pretended to be the eldest princess of Daliang and drugged me! Do you know... this is a capital crime that will lead to the extermination of my entire family and my entire clan!"

"Queen, Queen."

Meng Qianqian regained her voice, "Your sister-in-law was impersonated, and your first reaction was to get angry and ashamed. You felt deceived, so shouldn't you be concerned about Lu Fengyin's whereabouts first? Or have you been pretending to have feelings for her all these years for His Majesty to see? The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, what a joke!"

The queen's eyes turned cold, but after all, she had experienced many ups and downs, so even if what was said hit the mark, she did not show any panic.

"What have you done to Feng Yin? She is His Majesty's biological sister. If you dare to harm her, His Majesty will not let you off easily!"

Meng Qianqian said, "It's too late to worry about her now. Queen, instead of worrying about me, why don't you think about how you want to end your life? My property will not be confiscated, but the Queen may not."

The queen frowned and looked at Meng Qianqian deeply, thinking about her hidden meaning.

Meng Qianqian met her sharp gaze and said calmly, "I am a vengeful person. The Queen has hurt me time and again. I must settle these accounts with the Queen."

The Queen said coldly, "You said that I harmed you, do you have any evidence?"

Meng Qianqian said bluntly: "No."

The queen sneered.

Meng Qianqian added: "Although I have no evidence, I have some news related to the Queen."

The queen said calmly: "I am not interested in your news."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Oh? General Hu's too?"

The Queen paused, looking at Meng Qianqian in surprise: "What on earth are you..."

Meng Qianqian said: "I don't know anything. I just came here to give the queen a victory report. The Black Armor Army defeated the Hu family rebels and beheaded Hu Lie. They returned to the city in triumph at midnight."

The color drained from the queen's face.

-

The sky was neither bright nor dark, and the sky was a gloomy gray.

Emperor Liang was seriously injured in the underground palace. After returning to the palace, he had a lot of trouble in the Golden Palace. After returning to the Qinzheng Palace, he immediately rested.

When he was half asleep and half awake, he vaguely felt someone coming to his bed.

He opened his eyes alertly, and saw the queen holding a bowl of medicine, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"His Majesty……"

The Queen choked up.

Emperor Liang's expression relaxed: "Why is the Queen here?"

The Queen said sincerely, "I heard that Your Majesty has returned to the palace, so I came to see Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang said, "You are not in good health either. I heard from Xiaojiu that you have been bedridden for many days. I am sorry for you."

The queen said hesitantly: "Xiaojiu..."

Emperor Liang thought of something and explained, "Ah, it was Feng Yin. Her impersonation of Feng Yin was just a temporary measure. The Queen doesn't have to take it to heart."

The queen laughed at herself and said, "Your Majesty loved Feng Yin the most in the past, but now someone is pretending to be him. I thought Your Majesty would be angry."

Emperor Liang didn't want to discuss this with the Queen, so he changed the subject and said, "I'm fine, you can go back and rest."

The queen asked calmly, "Xiao Jiu...did she tell Your Majesty anything about me?"

Emperor Liang's brows were rarely tinged with gentleness: "She did say that you treated Feng Yin very well, and she was a little envious of Feng Yin. In fact, if she is willing, I can also treat her as my own granddaughter."

Emperor Liang, who was very frugal with words, became talkative when he mentioned a little maid. Such an emperor seemed unfamiliar to the empress.

In fact, ever since the appearance of the emperor's eldest grandson and his family, Emperor Liang was no longer the cold-blooded emperor she knew.

She and Emperor Liang had been married for many years, but they did not understand each other.

Just as she was unaware of his hidden tenderness, he also did not understand her loneliness in the palace.

She handed the medicine bowl to Emperor Liang and said, "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot. It will be cold soon."

Emperor Liang drank it, and just after he finished, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

He held his stomach and his whole face scrunched up.

He looked at the queen and found that she was looking at him with a grin.

"you……"

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

The queen stood up with a mad laugh, took a few steps back, opened her arms, and wandered around the room.

Emperor Liang covered his stomach, which was twisting like a knife, and looked at her coldly and suspiciously: "Why did you plot against me?"

"Why?"

The queen laughed until tears came out, "Because you killed my most beloved person! Do you know that I didn't want to marry into the Qin Palace at all! I had already promised to spend my life with him, but you, the Qin Palace, broke us up! You forced me to separate from him! He was loyal to you and wholeheartedly assisted you in founding a country and becoming emperor, but in the end, you let someone kill you! Where is your conscience!"

Emperor Liang served as the King of Qin for many years and later became the Emperor. He experienced many backstabbings, but he never expected that his first wife would stab him.

He and the Queen were in a marriage between two major families, arranged by their parents and matchmakers.

How did he know about her affair with Hu Lie?

If he had known, given his pride, he would rather disobey his father than marry her.

Of course, it would be pretentious to talk about these things when half of his body is buried in the ground.

That’s great, that’s great!

"Someone, come! Banish the queen to the cold palace!"

Emperor Liang gave the order.

Eunuch Yu hurried into the room, looking at the madly laughing queen and the painfully looking Emperor Liang, he rushed over in horror: "Your Majesty! Someone! Protect the emperor!"

Xiao Dezi rushed into the room with several strong eunuchs, captured the queen and took her away.

Emperor Liang took a deep breath and said, "Bai Qi, get out here!"

"No, I'm going to come over here!"

King Miao put his hands on his hips and walked into Emperor Liang's bedroom.

Emperor Liang gritted his teeth and said, "You are the one behind this again?"

King Miao's eyes rolled around.

Seeing this, Eunuch Yu hurried away: "I will go get the imperial physician!"

Miao Wang said: "Let you see her true face!"

Emperor Liang was furious: "So you led all the people around me away? Just watch her poison me?"

The Miao King waved his hand and said, "I've already changed it to Croton! The worst that can happen is that you'll be in labor for three days and three nights!"

Emperor Liang's eyes were red with anger: "You might as well not change it!"

It was poison, he had already smelled it.

It happened to be the laxative croton --

King Miao looked up at the sky.

Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes: "Are you seeking revenge on me?"

The last time in the imperial study, King Miao gave him croton, but he didn't take it. King Miao, Duke Jiang, and Mr. Ziwu drank it by accident.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of petty person!"

King Miao denied it again and again.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Emperor Liang was so furious that he threw off the quilt, got up from the ground, pulled out the sword from the shelf, and slashed at King Miao without saying a word.

The Miao King was shocked: "Oh! Murder!"

He fled, waving his arms—

Emperor Liang chased to the door, and was so angry that he sat down on the threshold.

"His Majesty!"

Concubine Jiang Hui came to visit Emperor Liang with a food box and happened to see this scene.

She was so frightened that she didn't even care about the food box in her hand. She threw it into the maid's hand and almost flew in front of Emperor Liang, holding his hand tightly: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Liang’s face was as pale as it could be.

Half of it was because of injury, and half of it was because King Miao was angry.

"Your Majesty, please speak! Don't scare me!"

Concubine Jiang Hui was extremely anxious.

Her concern was not feigned.

Emperor Liang looked at Concubine Jiang Hui, who had been "fighting" with him all his life, and suddenly felt deeply moved.

He thought his gentle wife, who treated him wholeheartedly, had betrayed him.

However, the fierce concubine whose nose was not a nose and eyes were not eyes was genuinely worried about him.

He was wrong.

How wrong.

"I'm fine..."

He calmed down and patted Concubine Jiang Hui's shoulder soothingly.

Concubine Jiang Hui almost cried out: "You scared me to death - I almost thought I couldn't get my money back - you didn't write an IOU -"

Emperor Liang spat out a mouthful of blood: "......!!"

-

The affair between the Queen and Hu Lie far exceeded Emperor Liang's expectations.

However, for the sake of the royal family's dignity, Emperor Liang intended to keep this secret to himself.

He didn't want to delve into who "led" the queen all the way to him and tricked her into committing a capital crime.

The imperial edict to depose the empress was written again and again.

"His Majesty."

Eunuch Yu cautiously reminded, "It's cold today."

Emperor Liang put his hands behind his back and looked at the endless sky: "Give the queen a cup of her favorite osmanthus wine."

Eunuch Yu understood and responded softly, "I obey your order."

Since Hu Lie committed such an act of treason, the entire Hu family will be held accountable.

Even if it is one's own maternal family, even if it is the last will left by the late emperor.

Concubine Hu knelt outside the imperial study for a long time.

The heavy rain soaked her clothes.

"Your Majesty, please see me..."

"The Hu family is wronged—"

"My brother is innocent—"

"My brother did not commit treason - he was framed - Your Majesty - Your Majesty -"

"cousin--"

"Cousin, please meet Arou - cousin -"

The Concubine Chen and Qing'er passed by her.

Concubine Hu wiped the rain and tears from her face and grabbed Concubine Chen's clothes: "Concubine Chen!"

The concubine Chen paused.

Qing'er, who was holding an umbrella for her, also stopped.

Concubine Hu raised her head and pleaded aggrievedly: "Concubine Chen, are you going to see His Majesty?"

The Concubine Chen did not speak.

Imperial Concubine Hu cried, "Go and tell His Majesty, he will listen to you... He will... I beg you, Concubine Chen... I was wrong before... I was blind... I shouldn't have treated you like that... This time I beg you... Please let His Majesty see me..."

"His Majesty will not see you, go back."

The Concubine Chen said.

Concubine Hu couldn't stop crying: "You are the prince's biological mother! His Majesty loves the prince the most! Please plead for me..."

The Concubine Chen looked at her and asked calmly, "Why should I plead for you?"

Concubine Hu was stunned.

The concubine asked sternly, "When my son was framed, did you plead for me? When your son was the regent and arrested my son and tortured him in prison, did you plead for him?"

Concubine Hu opened her mouth and said, "Concubine Chen, I..."

"No need to say more. The cause and effect have already been sown. You have brought this upon yourself today."

After the concubine finished speaking, she said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, let's go."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qing'er held up an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and pulled the hem of Concubine Chen's skirt out of Concubine Hu's hand with the other hand.

The Concubine Chen went to the Qinzheng Hall.

However, she was not going to see Emperor Liang.

It’s Kanbao Pig.

Not long after, Concubine Jiang Hui also came to Bao Zhuzhu's house.

The little guy sat cross-legged on the ground, fiddling with his gadgets.

"Too much! Too much!"

Concubine Jiang Hui was so angry that she clenched her fists.

The concubine smiled and said, "How did His Majesty offend you again?"

Concubine Jiang Hui said unhappily, "Do you still remember the gambling debt he owed last time?"

"Ah, remember."

The concubine nodded.

"He won't give it back!"

Concubine Jiang Hui became angry when she mentioned this matter.

She was so sincere and concerned that she was afraid he would pass away.

He is so good that he refuses to pay!

The claim that the country had just gone through a civil war and the treasury was empty was, in her opinion, clearly an excuse.

The concubine said fairly and impartially: "Your Majesty, you are not joking. He is wrong in this matter."

"You are still reasonable!"

Concubine Jiang Hui muttered, "He said he wanted to exchange it for the position of Imperial Noble Concubine? Am I the kind of person who cares about the position?"

The Concubine Chen smiled but said nothing.

"I'm sick!"

Concubine Jiang Hui didn't want to mention Emperor Liang anymore. She took the little girl on the ground into her arms and sucked her hard. "Zhao Zhao is still the cutest. Zhao Zhao, how about you be Nie'er's wife?"

Bao Zhuzhu: "Not good."

Nie'er is the younger brother!

Daliang had gone through a lot of changes, and there were mountains of things that needed to be dealt with at the court.

Lu Zhaoyan was so busy that he had no time to rest. Even Prince Fu and the usually lazy Prince Ming were entrusted with important tasks.

But Emperor Liang always felt that something was missing in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's eldest grandson requests an audience."

Eunuch Yu said.

Emperor Liang pressed his swollen brows and said, "Come in."

Lu Yuan entered the imperial study and bowed, "Grandfather."

Emperor Liang asked, "Why did you come to the palace today? Didn't you say you would stay at home with Xiaojiu?"

Lu Yuan said: "It was Grandfather Huang who brought Zhao Zhao into the palace. Xiao Jiu misses Zhao Zhao."

Emperor Liang: "Speak human language."

Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I have something I want to show to Grandfather."

As he spoke, he took out the safety lock that the emperor had given him before he left.

When he saw the safety lock, Emperor Liang was stunned.
