On a hot summer night, it was as hot and hot as a hotbed. The gatekeepers all wore mosquito-repelling sachets around their waists, and the abnormal cicadas sounded from time to time around them like a lullaby to lure them to sleep.

Everyone was yawning, until the arrival of the queen made them open the door in an instant, and no one said anything, as if everyone had tacitly agreed that no sound could be made here.

There are many soldiers guarding the sleeping hall, they are different from the drowsy palace servants outside the hall, they are all nervous and serious as if they are facing a big enemy.

The queen stamped her feet in front of the door. Holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, she pushed the door nervously and entered. The bedroom was originally quiet, but when she entered, there was a deep roar, like a spell that could fix a person in place. land.

On a dragon bed, a figure was vaguely trapped, and the figure was struggling all the time, causing the iron chains that restrained the figure to jingle.The queen walked close to the wall and walked around the dragon bed, not even daring to look over there. A low growl kept echoing in her ears, as if a figure had been watching her.

The queen pretended not to hear, and searched for things in the room, including the desks, bookshelves, even the carvings on the walls, the patterns on the pillars, and the blue bricks on the ground. She searched every corner carefully, but the more The more anxious she was, the more sweat covered her forehead, but no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find what she was looking for.

After searching for a long time, the queen was a little tired. She sat in front of the desk and looked around: "There is no mechanism, no hidden compartment, where can that thing be hidden?"

The figure roared again, as if extremely dissatisfied with being ignored by others, the queen looked around and saw that the dragon bed was covered by a layer of veil, the figure was tireless and still trying to break free.

"Could it be hidden there..." The dragon bed was already the only place the queen hadn't found, but she didn't dare to go there.

The queen closed her eyes. She was fighting with herself. In the end, her interests prevailed over her reason. She stood up and walked slowly towards the dragon bed. As she got closer, the whisper became clearer. She was the only one around, her heart beating violently. Make her short of breath.

"What is the queen looking for?"

With a sudden sound, the queen broke out in a cold sweat. She turned her head and saw that He Shikun was standing behind her at some point. His gloomy gaze complemented the roar on the dragon bed perfectly, making the surroundings even more terrifying.

"I'm just here to take a look." The queen realized that just after a delay, the sky dawned at some point.

"Look?" He Shikun pointed to the messed up places around, "Do you need to rummage around?"

After all, the queen is the lord of the harem. Even in the face of such an unexpected situation, she still walked up to He Shikun calmly, stretched out her hand and lightly pressed against his chest, and smiled charmingly: "He Shikun, we are on the same boat anyway. , Ming people don’t say dark words, did you take the jade seal away?”

"Why, are you looking for Yuxi?"

The queen's fingertips gently teased him, and said: "Why do you pretend to be a fool for me, who else can take the jade seal except you?"

"The queen is looking for Yuxi because she wants to order Si Qinglian to marry the Liu family!" He Shikun remained unmoved, "Since you and I are in the same boat, please don't do so many things for me, the queen."

The queen flicked her sleeves: "He Shikun, if Si Qinglian marries into the Liu family, the northern border will be in your hands. The northern border is connected to the border town, and there are 15 troops stationed there. Needless to say, you should know what does that mean!"

"Hehe, the Liu family is a collateral line of the empress. If Si Qinglian marries into the Liu family, I think Beijiang can only fall into the hands of the empress." He Shikun lowered his head, put one hand on the empress's shoulder, I don't know if it's to appease or threaten, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be suspicious of me. If I have a jade seal, it's for Si Qinglian to marry me."

The queen pushed his hand away and said, "Even if you took the jade seal, would you dare to let Si Qinglian marry you? Are you not afraid that Xia Ningle will stay away from you from now on?"

"He Shikun, it's good for you to deceive others with these words. You are 38 unmarried, aren't you just waiting for that foxy girl?" The queen said, leaning in his arms, "I know you well As a human being, if you really take the jade seal, you will not show it to others easily, because you dare not use it, and you have no right to use it, so you might as well give it to me, anyway, the crown prince is the future heir."

The two rely on each other here, seeing that the relationship is unusual, He Shikun hooked the Queen's shoulders and said: "I understand what the Queen said, but Yuxi is really not with me, I have been looking for it for a long time, I really don't know if it will be there where."

"Is it really not with you?"

"Really not here."

The queen frowned, besides here, she couldn't figure out where the jade seal would be placed, or in other words, He Shikun was still lying to her.

"Empress, don't worry about the northern border. Although there are 15 troops there, I also have a lot of troops. Besides..." He Shikun turned his gaze to the figure on the dragon bed, "As long as Si Qinglian is trapped in the imperial city, the north Xinjiang will not be able to become angry, but it can help me settle the disaster in the northern Xinjiang area."

"Then what if they are also infected?"

"Then blockade the entire northern border. As long as there are no living people to eat these ghost things, they will perish by themselves within a year."

"What?" While the queen was surprised, she felt that He Shikun was very creepy, like dust growing in a dark corner, which couldn't be removed. "Why does General He understand so much? Could it be..."

"A few years ago, the infected people had already appeared. I alone ordered people to remove these things for the prosperity of the country, but I never thought that the matter would become more and more serious." He Shikun's eyes flickered, and his words seemed to be false, " Don't think too much about it, if I find the jade seal, I will naturally hand it over to you, and Lady Lao will take care of things here, if someone with a heart finds out, both you and I will be lost forever."

"I'm not stupid, I know what to do."

He Shikun smiled with satisfaction: "By the way, Qin Youming didn't come to see His Majesty yesterday. I always feel that he knows something. Can you send someone to watch secretly?"

The queen nodded in agreement, since there was no jade seal here, she didn't want to stay too long, the ghost roaring beside her made her feel very uncomfortable, so she bid farewell to He Shikun, and hurried back to Qianning Palace.

The palace man skillfully made tea for her, and the queen took a sip of the hot tea, and felt much more at ease in her heart, and even warmed her cold hands.

"That kind of ghostly place, if you go there once, you have to lose your life once." It was obviously the dragon bed that everyone yearned for, but now it has become a hell. To the East Palace?"

"Go back to your mother, it's time to go back, but the prince left the palace with the Taifu early in the morning..." The maid paused when she said this.

"Could he be looking for flowers and asking willows again when he leaves the palace?"

"That's not true, the prince went to the isolation area."

"What?" The queen's hand holding the teacup shook, and the cup fell to pieces on the ground. The scalding hot tea splashed all over the place, and even scalded her insteps, causing a burst of anger. Slap, "How do you bastards look at the prince, how can you let the prince go to a place like the isolated place?"

"My lord, forgive me!" The palace servant knelt down in response.

"Is the other person still in isolation now?"

"The crown prince just came back, and at the moment he and the Taifu are in the imperial study, seeming to be discussing how to deal with the people in the quarantined area."

Hearing this, the queen remembered that the palace servants reported yesterday that the people in the isolation area were of great use to Si Qinglian. She had just returned from the bedroom, and she was still in fear at this moment. Thinking about how those people would become like this in the future Horror, none of these infected people can stay, they must be killed.

Not long after the empress sat down, she stood up again, hurriedly heading towards the imperial study, and all the palace servants hurriedly followed behind her. Along the way, there was a lot of commotion, and many people saw the empress rushing into the imperial study with their own eyes.

The prince was discussing with the Taifu how to settle down these common people, the queen broke in and asked the prince to kill him without further ado. The Taifu listened to the words and tried his best to dissuade them. You know, if you kill him at this moment, the reputation of the royal family will be extremely bad, and you may cause public resentment, so it is better to settle down well to show the kindness given by the royal family.

Enqing is a joke, because the queen knows that these people will become monsters sooner or later, but she can't say anything, so she can only order the prince to kill these people.

The Tai Tuo and the Queen insisted on their own opinions.

The hoarse voice was exhausted, and the palace people at the door could hear it clearly. The prince was the worst, and he had no right to speak at all. He was obviously the prince of Jian Guo, but he could only let him go.

"Mother, the subject and the Taifu have their own decision on this matter, so I don't need you to worry about it." Before, the prince was upset because the princess often came to make trouble, but now his mother came to make trouble again, and he hated it even more. He was dragged in her hands, and he had to do whatever he asked.

"If I don't worry about it, will you be able to secure your position as the crown prince?" The queen was anxious, "Okay, when you grow up, you don't have to listen to your mother's words. Do you think your mother is annoying?"

The prince is helpless: "Mother, I don't mean that. Today I went to the isolation area with the Taifu. There are many children there. I feel uncomfortable, so I want to do something for them, but why do you insist? Kill them all?"

"Those infected people will only implicate more innocent people. If they cannot be killed now, there will only be more and more infected people in the future. At that time, the disaster will be difficult to control, and the country will perish!"

The Taifu blew his beard and stared: "It is true that the country will perish if the people are massacred at will. Empress, the plague is indeed terrible, but there will always be a way to cure it in the future. The disaster cannot be relieved by killing."

The prince nodded.

The queen stared: "I will kill if I say so."

The prince was also angry, and asked someone to monitor him and let the concubine take care of him. Now he finally wanted to do something, but was stopped. He slapped the table: "Mother, can you let the minister make his own decision?"
