In Xiao Ting's heart, she never worried that the Ninth Prince would be injured, and would lie quietly beside her like this moment, not caring about anything, leaving everything to her.
In the deepest palace of Yanwang Palace.
King Yan was in a state of embarrassment, and strode forward. The guards and maids beside him knelt down on the ground, not daring to look him in the face.
He pushed open the gate of the palace fiercely, glanced around, and the anger in his eyes became heavier.
"Where did Madam go?"
"Your Majesty forgive me, Madam was still here just now..." The eunuch who was waiting outside the palace directly knelt down, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead!
"Drag on!" King Yan ordered directly without listening to his explanation.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life..."
"Why are you so angry?"
Qingyue's slightly deep voice floated out from behind the screen.
At the same time, a woman in a bright red palace dress came slowly with her hands in front of her.
She has a graceful posture, luxurious clothes, and half-up hair. When she walked over, her phoenix eyes raised slightly, she was unexpectedly charming!
He looked about thirty or forty years old, but his face that should have been weather-beaten was still clear and flawless.
Moreover, no makeup was applied on her face, just with those eyes, it made others feel ashamed.
"Yunying..."
If it is said that King Yan's expression was that kind of ruthless, then at this moment he is like a peach blossom in full bloom.
In the whole hall, spring returns to the earth in an instant.
"came back?"
With a gentle smile on her face, Yunying walked over and asked casually.
"You are not angry at all, did you know the result earlier?"
King Yan followed her guidance and sat on the soft couch, but frowned.
"You're right." Yun Ying didn't deny it.
"You woman is really..." Yan Wang jumped up from the soft couch angrily, pointed at Yunying with trembling fingers, and didn't know how to accuse her.
"Are you really not afraid at all, he killed me?"
After King Yan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yun Ying to answer, and he immediately answered.
"I was joking, how could I have forgotten, you woman has no heart at all, it has nothing to do with you if anyone dies in this world, you don't care at all, hehe..."
With a smile on her face, Yunying accepted his accusation frankly, and smiled happily, "Hehe... the king of Yan is so emotional, if the subjects of Yandi see it, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"Joke, isn't this gentleman a joke in your eyes?" King Yan laughed back angrily.
"Okay, what a big deal, as for losing such a temper." Yunying smiled softly, and patted the back of his hand as a sign of comfort.
"You're right. I knew this would happen a long time ago, but I also knew that Chu Li would definitely let you come back."
King Yan stood up abruptly.
"Do you know what I hate about you the most?"
"Huh?" Yun Ying chuckled.
"You always look aloof, as if everything in this world is under your control, you don't want to trust anyone, let alone tell anyone, and arrange everything properly, no matter who it is
All the people and things in this world seem to be just pawns for you, including those you love and those who love you. "
King Yan looked heartbroken.
"I just want to ask, what do you want? What are you looking for in your life?"
King Yan's mood fluctuated so violently, but Yun Ying seemed to be fine.
She sat there, staring at King Yan foolishly, motionless, and the smile on her mouth never faded.
It seemed that King Yan was talking about someone else, that cold and despised woman was not her at all.
"I thought you were the only one who understood me best in this world."
She shook her head and said with a sigh, then stopped talking, full of regret and disappointment.
Snapped!
King Yan was furious, and he reached out and swept the vase next to him to the ground, making a loud noise.
But no one dared to come in.
"Don't I understand you enough? If you want to pursue love, I will personally escort you to get married. If you want your son to be king, I will arrange everything for you. You hate the women in my palace, so I will only leave the queen alone. You said you wanted my sister to help you, but I sent her into the palace of the empire without even turning my head. Yunying, you still say that I don't understand you?"
"ah?"
King Yan was going crazy, he grabbed Yun Ying's shoulder directly, really wanted to shake her awake.
"How can there be a woman like you in the world? Such a cruel heart?"
Yun Ying seemed to be used to his rage, ignored the raging anger in his eyes, smiled lightly, wrapped his hands around his neck naturally, said with a smiley voice, "But you just like me, don't you?"
"If I wasn't such a woman, would the king still look up to me?"
"If I were like those women in the queen's harem, a little bird dependent on a man, would you still look at me more?"
"You won't." Yun Ying pulled his hand away and stepped back calmly.
Like a dancing butterfly, a large area of fiery red blooms, adding a bit of tenderness to the tense palace just now.
"Since the king likes it, and I didn't force him, then don't always talk about your sister."
"Otherwise the only one who suffers is yourself."
Yunying stopped three steps away from him, "After all, what happened back then was your idea, Your Majesty, and the person who carried it out was also..."
"Stop talking!"
"Why bother? You bring it up every time, and then I will reveal the truth. Why, this time, you plan to spend the night alone in the house again?"
Yunying said indifferently.
"If you decide, then I'll go!"
As soon as King Yan heard that she was leaving, he immediately reached out to grab her arm and said, "Where are you going?"
"Naturally, I'm going back to the empire. I can't just stay in the palace of Yandi forever!"
"If you want?"
"I don't want to." Yunying snorted coldly, her face darkened for the first time.
"Don't make fun of this, I am the Empress Dowager of the Empire, and will always be!"
"Junying, don't leave today, okay? You haven't seen me for a long time."
When King Yan heard this, he immediately hugged her body, tied her tightly, and wouldn't let her go no matter what.
Yunying didn't struggle, but said coolly, "I thought the king still kept this habit after so many years?"
"Okay, the big event is approaching, let's discuss the next thing!"
The imperial city of the empire would fall into a dead silence every night, and no one dared to enter or leave casually.
Even the full moon in the sky appears and disappears from time to time, and there are not many good weather coming in.
Yuchi was sitting on the palace wall in dismay, holding a small jug in his hand.
His eyes were a little blurred looking at the palace below.
There is a woman whispering softly, and a child's clear voice.
They are a mother and son, one of the most honorable people in this palace.
It is also the person he most wants to protect.
Ironically, at this moment, he was ordered to guard them.
"The empress is here!"
A loud shout interrupted the warmth of mother's kindness and filial piety in the palace, and also relieved Yuchi's chilling drunkenness.
Concubine Shu, the head of the four concubines in the imperial palace.
She is also the concubine of the Thirteenth Prince.
Her mother's family is the Xu family, one of the three pavilions.
His younger brother Xu Wei has served as the commander of the Imperial Guard Army for several years, and he is very appreciated by the emperor.
Although she has been in the palace for decades, she has always stayed out of it, not interacting with anyone, and only kept in her own world.
Has no interest in anyone or anything, including the emperor.
The thirteenth prince is her only son.
"The concubine sees the empress!"
She is now in her twenties, and she still hasn't seen Twilight Lime for several years, and the years have left no trace on her body.
"Sister Concubine Shu, get up!"
The queen stepped forward to help her up, and said politely.
Concubine Shu took a step back indistinctly, avoiding her palm.
She pulled the thirteenth prince back, "The empress will give orders directly if there is something to do, and the concubine will not beat around the bush. I am afraid that I may misunderstand the meaning of the empress, so I ask the empress to speak up!"
"Looking at my sister's words, I don't like seeing me very much!" The queen flicked her sleeves and walked forward, taking a seat on the main seat.
Concubine Shu turned around and stood in the hall, "If the empress is talking about state affairs, then the courtiers and concubines are helpless. If it is family affairs, you are the master, let alone the ministers and concubines are slaves."
Her tone was flat and she spoke very slowly, but very directly.
"I think sister means that she is blaming me for participating in the government?"
The queen glanced at her indiscriminately, and said slowly, "I heard that the relationship between my sister and the Xu family is not very good, but it is the Xu family after all, which is exactly the same as what your brother said!"
"That's why the empress would have misunderstood it. As a member of the empire, she would say so."
"Nowadays, in the imperial palace of Nuo Da, only my sister dares to talk to me like this. Are you really not afraid?"
Concubine Shu chuckled lightly and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. The empress's ambition doesn't lie in this. The concubine is just an ant, so it's okay for the empress to play such a big game of chess against me, right?"
"You are just using me to contain him. If I die or get injured, will you still threaten him? Who will help you deal with Chu Li then?"
"Hahaha… "
The queen's eyes flashed first, and then she laughed wildly, very sharp in the dark night.
"Everyone inside and outside the palace said that Concubine Shu is short-sighted and only knows to guard her own world. Now it seems that it is my sister who deceived the world."
"Even if my sister stays in this small palace, she can still control the situation outside. My sister really admires it!"
Concubine Shu kept looking at her indifferently, but didn't say a word.
"Is there nothing you want to say, sister?"
Concubine Shu chuckled and shook her head.
"Not to him either?"
The queen swept the courtyard wall outside the palace playfully.
There, Yuchi's chilling body was as stiff as a stone, and only a wry smile remained at the corner of his mouth.
"The empress is joking, Mr. Yuchi was sent by you to protect the concubine, the concubine should say thank you! But the concubine is the emperor's woman after all, this thank you, the empress empress will do it for me!"
She touched her son's head, lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly.
It seems that Yuchi's disappointment has nothing to do with her.
"My sister is really deserted. My sister feels worthless for Mr. Yuchi. He betrayed his master for you!"
