Huai Yuan kept screaming in pain in his dream.

The queen mother was so distressed that tears fell.

This is the only thought left by her daughter.

She held it in her hand for fear of falling, and held it in her mouth for fear of melting, wishing to give him the best things in the world.

For this reason, she even used her old face to contact those old ministers of the previous court, in order to make Huaiyuan's future emperor's road go more smoothly.

But her precious great-grandson was mercilessly beaten to death by Ming Feiqing.

Just because of that can't be called wrong at all.

Qi Shun, the old eunuch of the Shoukang Palace, saw that the queen mother had resentment in her heart, and said maliciously: "If the queen uses more strength, I am afraid that the little prince's hands will be crippled. If the little prince has already ascended the throne as emperor, how can the queen dare?" Do you want to start a family law against the emperor?"

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Although there is a will to establish a crown prince, he still refuses to let Yuan'er take the throne, saying that the child is still young and ignorant, and the Ai family has no real power now, and what he said is worthless. He is a man with a foreign surname."

Qi Shun: "There has never been a precedent for the youngest son to ascend the throne. The empress refused to let His Royal Highness the crown prince ascend the throne. It is nothing more than..."

The queen mother turned her head and looked sideways: "What is it?"

Qi Shun faltered: "I dare not say anything."

The queen mother touched Huai Yuan's hand with pity: "You have been with Ai's family for so many years, and you have always been a caring person who speaks directly when you have something to say."

Only then did Qi Shun whisper: "It's nothing more than he is greedy for imperial power and wants to find an opportunity to proclaim himself emperor."

The hall was suddenly so quiet that even needles could be heard.

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't answer, Qi Shun immediately knelt down, feeling uneasy: "This slave is talkative, the Queen Mother forgives me!"

The Empress Dowager raised her hand to make him stand up, looked at Huai Yuan thoughtfully, "Even if he is Ziwei Xing, he still cannot take away Huai's family."

Qi Shun said again: "If the queen is really Ziweixing, how could the first emperor die at the frontier?"

Queen Mother: "..."

Qi Shun: "The empress dowager loves the prince dearly, have you ever thought about fighting for him? This old slave is afraid that the queen will one day use such trumped-up charges as today to kill the young prince."

The queen mother unconsciously tightened her hands, and Huai Yuan cried out weakly after being pinched by her, and the queen mother came back to her senses and quickly loosened her grip.

"But now that he is in power, what can the Ai family use to fight for Yuan'er?"

Qi Shun reminded logically: "There is still your flesh and blood relative, the Third Prince, at the border."

The Empress Dowager frowned and glanced at Qi Shun. Qi Shun lowered his head, feeling guilty: "No matter how serious the third prince's mistake is, he is also your own grandson. Blood is thicker than water. Rather than relying on an outsider like Empress Ming ...It's better to rely on your own grandson!"

The queen mother is not stupid: "Did Huai Qi ask you to say this?"

Qi Shun avoids the important and ignores the trivial: "The slave is also for the benefit of the queen mother. The third prince has changed his temper over the years, and now he only wants to return to the imperial city to honor you."

The queen mother was faintly displeased: "Does he still want to go back to the imperial city and become the emperor?"

Qi Shun: "The third prince has absolutely no such intentions. He said that he will only replace the Empress Ming and assist His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne."

Huaiqi's mistakes in the Tuzhou matter doomed him not to win the hearts of the people, and naturally it was impossible to secure the throne.

If he really just wanted to come back to assist Huaiyuan, the Queen Mother would not object, after all, blood is thicker than water, and she would have a feeling of protection for Huaijin who wanted to kill her, let alone Huaiqi who has always been filial to her?

Huaiqi has been blowing the northwest wind on the border for five years, and the punishment he deserves is enough.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, and said: "What the late emperor meant was that Huaiqi cannot return to Beijing unless he is summoned. The guards of the Twelve Cities to the East are now only at Ming Feiqing's orders. What can the Ai family do?"

Qi Shun bent down to the Empress Dowager's ear and said in a low voice: "As long as you get the fake imperial decree with the jade seal on it, the Twelve Cities in the East will let the Third Highness pass."

The Empress Dowager looked at the enthusiastic Huaiyuan, in order to give him a good future, and also to protect Xiqin's country, her heart was finally bent.

·

Nangong.

The envoys who came back from Xiqin entered the Qinde Hall without stopping.

He knelt on the ground and said to the monarch: "The Empress Dowager has accepted the birthday gift from His Majesty, and he likes it very much."

The emperor in a black dragon robe sat on the dragon chair, playing with the tiger talisman of the southern kingdom with his left hand.

The emperor's aura was overwhelming, and the envoys didn't even dare to raise their heads too high, only to hear a hidden comforting words from above their heads:

"As long as he likes it."

The envoy quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's past three years have always been cloudy and uncertain, the government and the public are silent, and he, a minor diplomat, is even more trembling like walking on thin ice.Every time I come to the Qinde Hall to listen to the monarch, I worry that my head will be lost.

The strange thing is that as long as he came back from Xiqin, the emperor was always in a good mood.

The emperor asked: "How did the Empress Dowager pass this year?"

This is a very unreasonable question. How the queen of the enemy country has lived this year can be known by an envoy just by meeting him?

However, with the lessons of the previous two years, the envoy has figured out the correct way to answer this question.

He reported truthfully: "As far as I can see, Empress Ming has a good complexion, she is radiant, and there are three or two confidantes who take care of her carefully. Compared with the previous two years, Xiqin's government and the public have less criticisms about Empress Ming's ruling. This year , and everything should go well.”

"That's good." The emperor under the mask hid his joy and anger without a trace.

The envoy could only guess a bit of holy intentions from the ups and downs in his tone, guessing that the emperor was probably happy.

Everyone in Nanguo knew that the monarch was bound to win Ming Feiqing. When Ming Feiqing was a prisoner of war a few years ago, the monarch tried all kinds of torture methods to get him nothing, and finally sent him away. Back to Xiqin, in order to meet him, he went on an envoy to Xiqin himself. When he came back, he got a jade pendant from Ming Feiqing. He regarded it as a treasure and held it in his hand every day. Throw down the jade pendant.

Now that Ming Feiqing is a widow for the emperor of Xiqin, it is normal for the monarch to start thinking about it again, but he changed to a gentle method and changed to giving birthday gifts every year to show his goodwill. I don't know if he was bewitched by Ming Feiqing After a while, he actually changed his previous sentimental and lustful nature, and even dismissed the harem two years ago.

Occasionally, ministers from the ruling and opposition parties in the Southern Kingdom advised this to be inappropriate, but it did not arouse too much public opinion opposition.

Because it was normal for Yelu Nanzhi to provoke Ming Feiqing.

Normally, no one would suspect that Huai Jin was responsible for these actions.

Knowing that Feiqing was doing well, Huai Ziyu felt at peace, and after he asked the envoys to retreat, he withdrew his entourage and entered the inner hall alone.

The inner hall of Qinde Hall is the sleeping hall of Yelu Nanzhi.

Needless to say, the luxury of the inner hall.

Under the layered gold-woven shadow gauze, there are dozens of portraits hanging. The people on the portraits are either admiring flowers or writing.

Dozens of paintings were painted by one person——Ming Feiqing.

When Huaijin saw these portraits back then, she realized that Yelu Nanzhi was so crazy about Ming Feiqing that she had to look at his portraits every day to fall asleep.

Shock and anger filled his chest, but he didn't tear off these portraits, firstly, to avoid arousing suspicion, and secondly, after only three months of separation from Ming Feiqing, he actually started to borrow paintings to think about others.

For the next three full years, he replaced all the portraits in the dormitory with Fei Qing painted by himself.

Looking at falling asleep every night like this, I survived more than 1000 days and nights.
