Go to Qingqiu together

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Qingjian felt that after he finished saying this, the Empress Dowager looked at him with a little more inquisitive eyes.

"Qingjian." The queen mother picked up the teacup in hand, brought it to her mouth and took a sip, then slowly called out Xu Qingjian's name.

Suddenly being called by the Queen Mother's name in such a friendly tone, Xu Qingjian immediately opened his eyes wide and was extremely nervous.

"The Ai family has stayed in this palace for a long time, and there is no one around to talk to. I asked you to come in today, and I just wanted to chat with you to relieve boredom. The last time I saw you in Ning Wang's mansion, Ai's family was also very clever. child." The queen mother took a sip of hot tea and said to Xu Qingjian.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Xu Qingjian was slightly taken aback, thinking that the Queen Mother was really good at talking nonsense, even more nonsense than him.

If he were the queen mother, even if he talked to some small flowers and grasses, he would not talk to someone who had just met once, and the last time he met the queen mother, he didn't say a word, just said that he was very clever , It's really better to say than to sing.

Although Xu Qingjian thought this way in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface, so he still had a respectful attitude: "Thank you for the compliment from the Queen Mother, it is Qingjian's honor to share the worries of the Queen Mother."

"Well, the Ai family thinks that you should be a child who understands current affairs, so...the Ai family would like to ask you one thing." The queen mother took a look at Xu Qingjian and continued.

"Please speak, Queen Mother." Xu Qingjian was very nervous when she replied.

Since the queen mother has already said such words, it will not be a good thing.

"You also know that Ai's family is very concerned about Xu'er. In the early years, Ai's family put some people to serve him, but now there is no one left. Xu'er's temperament is out of control, and Ai's family is worried about him. What will happen in the future, and he refuses to tell the Ai family." The Queen Mother continued.

Hearing this, Xu Qingjian's face changed.

At this time, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Xu Qingjian, her eyes were sharp, like several ice skates, piercing Xu Qingjian's whole body with chills.

He suddenly had a feeling that he would not be able to leave the palace safely today.

"Since Xu'er cares so much about you, I'm sure she won't hide anything from you, and I'll tell you about all kinds of things on weekdays." The Queen Mother gently put down the teacup in her hand, narrowing her eyes slightly: " If you keep talking like this, why don't you pass on some things about Xu'er to the Ai family from time to time."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother had clearly stated her purpose.

Xu Qingjian looked at the queen mother with a pale face, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound for a while.

The queen mother's intentions are already obvious, he wants to be a traitor himself, and report Shen Xubai's affairs to her in detail.

After a long while, Xu Qingjian took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and knelt down in front of the queen mother.

"The empress dowager forgive me, but Qing Jian really dare not do such a thing of betraying the prince." Xu Qingjian bowed very low, and his attitude was very sincere.

Even if he died, he would not do such a thing, and he is already in danger today, so it is better to confess directly.

Seeing Xu Qingjian's body kneeling at her feet, the queen mother frowned, obviously a little displeased.

After a while, the Queen Mother's majestic voice slowly sounded: "Do you know that the Ai family dared to talk about this matter with you today, you have to agree to the Ai family, otherwise the Ai family will not let you go." He left the palace alive."

Following the Queen Mother's words, Xu Qingjian's breathing became a little heavy.

Even though he had already guessed it before, Xu Qingjian couldn't help but shudder when he heard the queen mother say it.

"Empress Dowager, even if Qingjian agrees to you, you don't know if I'm sincere and if I'll tell you the truth every time. You can't control my loyalty to you." Xu Qingjian took a deep breath In one breath, said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the queen mother laughed a few times immediately.

Then the Queen Mother took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table beside her.

"The Ai family has already thought of everything you can think of." The queen mother said slowly: "You take this poison, and the Ai family will naturally choose to believe you."

"What... is this?" Xu Qingjian asked in a daze.

"Where is the name of this poison? After you take it, Aijia can stimulate it to send out the poison three times. Every time the poison is sent out, your memory will be lost, but you will slowly remember some of it afterwards. As for what you remember I don’t know.” The Empress Dowager introduced the name and function of the poison to Xu Qingjian.

But Xu Qingjian was covered in cold sweat when he heard it.

Because he also forgot many things and then slowly remembered some, which was exactly the same as the poison described by the Queen Mother.

At this moment, the queen mother continued to say: "As for the third poisoning, almost all your memory will be lost, at most you can only remember your blood relatives."

Xu Qingjian looked at the Queen Mother with a pale face, and felt a splitting headache for a moment.

This kind of poison named Guihe is so familiar, it's like a lingering nightmare. Now hearing the Queen Mother's description, Xu Qingjian's breathing became more and more heavy.

But he had never had any contact with the Queen Mother, and this was definitely the second meeting he remembered with the Queen Mother, the two of them had never met before.

Even if he forgot, the Queen Mother would never forget it. Seeing the attitude of the Queen Mother, it was obvious that she didn't recognize him.

Seeing that Xu Qingjian's face was a bit ugly, the queen mother thought that her words had frightened him, so she slowed down her tone and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Don't worry, as long as you obediently do things for the Ai family, the Ai family will naturally not treat you badly." , and it is impossible to cause this poison to attack, even if you want to betray Aijia in the end, at most you will just lose your memory, and it will definitely not kill you."

She didn't say this to lie to Xu Qingjian, as long as Xu Qingjian was willing to take the poison, she would not insist on killing people to silence her.

When Xu Qingjian was no longer of use value, she would let this happen somewhere. As long as Xu Qingjian had no memory, he would not be a threat to her, so naturally he could be saved.

This is the method she used to control the people around her these years, but in the past few years, she has softened her heart a little. In the past, she would just kill the grass and roots, and she would never want to keep them alive.

Maybe it's because she's getting older now, and she doesn't want to do more sins anymore. Now she often wakes up in her sleep. In her dream, her hands are covered with blood, and her ears are full of the painful voices of those people she eliminated. For more than a year, she has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name every day, only thinking about eliminating some evil obstacles for herself, so as long as Xu Qingjian is more aware of current affairs, she will definitely not take his life.

"How, do you agree or not?" Seeing Xu Qingjian's delay in answering, the Queen Mother couldn't help urging.

In her opinion, it doesn't take that long to think about it, Xu Qingjian will definitely agree in the end.

He has only two choices, one life and one death, but any wise person will choose to live.

Under the gaze of the queen mother, Xu Qingjian slowly raised his head, his black eyes were as calm as water, and his tone was extremely firm: "I don't agree, and I ask the queen mother to come down."

He said this neither humble nor overbearing, let alone the slightest hesitation.

The queen mother was stunned when she heard the words, her expression was a little shocked, and she thought she had heard it wrong: "You... what did you say?"

"I can't promise the empress dowager." Xu Qingjian repeated.

"You...you!" The queen mother slapped the table hard, stood up abruptly, pointed at Xu Qingjian, her face turned pale with anger, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Xu Qingjian knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes silently, his expression didn't change at all.

No matter what, he will never do anything to betray Shen Xubai again.

"Do you know what you're talking about?!" The Empress Dowager stared at Xu Qingjian fiercely, her voice was so cold that she said, "If you refuse to mourn your family, you will not be able to leave the palace alive today."

"No matter what, I will not betray the prince." Xu Qingjian replied in a deep voice.

The queen mother sneered immediately when she heard the words, and said: "You have deep affection for him, but are you sure you will not even sacrifice your life for him?"

Xu Qingjian lowered his head and did not speak, he expressed everything in silence.

And the Queen Mother already knew the answer from his attitude, and immediately felt that the person in front of her was simply too stupid to be cured.

After a while, the queen mother let out a long breath and asked, "You have thought it through clearly, Aijia will give you a chance to regret it."

If Xu Qingjian insisted on refusing, then she would absolutely not be able to let Xu Qingjian leave alive, even if Shen Xubai would turn against her because of this, there was nothing she could do about it. In short, Xu Qingjian's life would not be saved.

Xu Qingjian lowered his head slowly, he took a deep breath, and his tone was very calm: "Qingjian just wants to die."

Seeing that Xu Qingjian had already talked to this point, the Queen Mother also knew that she could not persuade him, so she nodded and said regretfully: "The Ai family has never seen such a stubborn person like you..."

After a pause, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly rose, and her tone became extremely sharp: "Come here!"

As her words fell, Hong Ling who had been guarding the door came in and asked respectfully, "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

"Drag him out and kill him with a stick." The queen mother said in a deep voice.

When Xu Qingjian heard the word stick dead, his eyes went dark and his whole body was not well.

Even if he was going to be executed, it would be a good time to kill him with a single knife. He was most afraid of pain, and it would really be a painful death if he was executed with a stick.

Hongling didn't expect that Xu Qingjian would cause the queen mother to stick him to death, so she glanced at Xu Qingjian in a daze, then looked at the queen mother, and asked, "So Hongling took him away to execute him? In case the Empress Dowager sees the bloody blood, she will not get bad luck."

The queen mother shook her head, closed her eyes slowly, and said: "No, the execution will be at the gate of the palace. The Ai family has to watch him die with his own eyes, and there must be no future troubles."

She has always been good at cutting grass and roots.
