Ning Zhiqing looked nervously at A Xin who had already applied the medicine. When the genius doctor stopped, she asked anxiously, "How long will it take to recover?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, at least half a year, at least three months."
Ning Zhiqing's face swayed with a smile, "Okay, reward."
He Lianfu stood silently on the side, now facing the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lin, he could no longer look at them with normal eyes. Thinking of the ambiguous picture he saw in the summer resort before, if the genius doctor was still here, he really wanted to rub his eyes hard.
He finally figured it out. No wonder he always felt that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Lin was not normal. No matter how good the relationship was, it shouldn't be so intimate, right? Now everything is clear, he was surprised at first, but he didn't feel shocking later, perhaps because they walked out of the cold palace together, and the intimacy of the two had long been rooted in his heart.
"During this time, the concubine must pay attention to some foods that cannot be eaten, so as not to affect the recovery of the scar." The genius doctor handed a list of inedible items to the maid on the side, and Ning Zhiqing hurriedly waved, "Take it. Come and show Aijia."
The palace maid did not dare to refuse, and quickly gave the list to Ning Zhiqing. The genius doctor did not dare to look at it, but felt that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Lin was indeed deep, just as rumored. He saluted and retired.
Seeing this, Helian also hurriedly expressed to the two that he was leaving.
Tucao inwardly, stay here, courting death? I didn't see the Queen Mother's eyes on him, just like a needle stick, so I almost didn't speak directly. Do you hurry and get out of the Aijia? He Lianfu only felt bitter in his heart, he was just a child.
"Divine Doctor."
He Lianfu stopped the genius doctor, "You also have a look at me. I've been in a bad mood recently. You can prescribe some tonic for me."
The empress dowager also forgets her righteousness. With Concubine Lin, she will no longer be in charge of the government. He was so tired. He could understand why Concubine Lin suggested that the queen dowager should fall behind the curtain instead of being the female emperor directly. How tiring to be the emperor, seeing that he has grown two years older in recent years, but the meat really hasn't increased by a few taels.
Three months later, the scar on Ashin's forehead has dissipated. Ning Zhiqing was so happy that she couldn't eat for three days. She hugged the beauty and kissed her every night. Now she has finally fulfilled one of her wishes. She can kiss her A Xin for the rest of her life.
At night, the two were embracing each other on the same couch with their eyes facing each other. She looked at this elegant and refined face and praised, "A Xin, you are a fairy." No matter if it is a fairy or not, A Xin is the fairy in her heart.
"Go to sleep, you have to go to court tomorrow."
Ning Zhiqing rubbed between Ah Xin's neck and said with a tender smile, "Hold it in the arms of a beautiful woman, and I won't go to court earlier." She really didn't want to go to court, it would be great to hold Ah Xin.
A Xin pinched Ning Zhiqing's cheek, "Zhiqing, you said you wanted to protect me."
"what?"
"Are you going to break your promise?"
Ning Zhiqing hurriedly shook her head, "No, I have not broken my promise, I will protect Axin."
"So obediently go to court tomorrow morning," A Xin chuckled softly, "The more control your queen mother has, the more stable our life will be."
"I know." Ning Zhiqing wrapped around A Xin's slender waist, sniffing the other person's fragrance, "I haven't forgotten, A Xin, you don't have to think about anything in the future, everything is mine, and you paved the way for me in the first half of your life. Lu, plan everything for me and push me to a high position. In the second half of my life, I just want you to be happy every day, and stop worrying about calculating everything. I will protect you and support you, and I will never forget it.”
How could she not understand that A Xin did not love this power, the other party just told her that she wanted to have what she wanted and protect what she had. Under the rule of this imperial power, power was very important. It is safest to have everything under control.
"Go to sleep." A Xin pressed Ning Zhiqing's head, Ning Zhiqing closed her eyes with peace of mind, the corners of her lips raised, "A Xin, tomorrow, you don't have to get up early to see me, I will go by myself." , she was reluctant to stand in the cold wind and wait for her.
But the next day, A Xin got up and still sent her over.
In the courtroom, Ning Zhiqing remembered that there were still people waiting for her outside. When she competed with those old men, she showed no mercy, leaving He Lianfu stunned.
Today's queen mother is even more terrifying.
The courtiers were all blushing, and they didn't expect that a group of them couldn't beat a woman. It was really embarrassing and shameful. Ning Wuyuan smiled happily, his precious daughter is really amazing.
After the court was dispersed, Ning Zhiqing left in a hurry and ran to see A Xin. As soon as I came up, I held A Xin, feeling the warmth of my hands, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "Why wait here."
"It's okay, if I don't wait here, you're afraid you'll be crying over me at night."
Ning Zhiqing's face was a little red when she was told, "Where did Aijia cry?"
"Okay, I didn't cry, just looked aggrieved, especially like a puppy standing beside the table, waiting for someone to lose a bone."
Ning Zhiqing: "..." A Xin is really not giving her face more and more, she is the queen mother after all.
But when she saw Ah Xin's brows and eyes and smiling at her, she felt that it was nothing to be a puppy fed by Ah Xin's bones.
Time passed by like this day by day, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the empress dowager and Concubine Lin had a deep friendship. They were in a crowded place, and people couldn't see anything. In fact, no one dared to stare at them, so naturally they couldn't find anything. Those courtiers were dumbfounded by Ning Zhiqing every day, and they were trying to find a way to make Ning Zhiqing choked, so they didn't notice what was wrong at all.
When the little emperor was sixteen years old, after being elected, he was the daughter of a courtier. The woman was dignified and gentle, and He Lianfu was quite satisfied. He preferred a woman who was generous and decent. In fact, he didn't have much interest in Nafei or anything, but because he was the emperor, he also symbolically chose a few daughters of courtiers who were still pleasing to the eye, and planned to pass by like this.
If it is not necessary, he does not want to send people to the cold palace. As long as these concubines are knowledgeable, he can promise them and their family glory. As for the queen, he wouldn't let the concubine pass each other. Maybe it was his experience, he couldn't have much affection for women.
After seeing such powerful women as the Queen Mother and Concubine Lin, as well as a vicious woman like Bai Xi, he was actually a little scared.
The Supreme Emperor Helianzheng has always been alive and well. With He Qing's people taking care of him, Bai Xi is also afraid of death and dare not do anything to Helianzheng. At first, she was a little unwilling, but later she saw that Helianzheng's life was better than death, but she didn't want to kill Helianzheng, so she woke up every day and went to Helianzheng's side and said all kinds of ridicule to him.
At first, Helianzheng was also half-dead with anger. Later, he may have figured out that he was no longer angry because of Bai Xi's words, but instead showed the same mocking look, and the two hurt each other.
According to He Lianfu's thoughts, the harem should remain calm like this, at least while he is alive, he will not allow too much competition in the harem. There were only five concubines and queens in his harem. What happened next made him feel very naive.
His queen, who wanted to control the harem, was privately dissatisfied with Concubine Lin and the Queen Mother.
One night he and the queen were talking together, and the queen turned a corner and put eye drops on him. In short, the words are all inside and outside, let him control the political power in his hands.
He Lianfu had some doubts at the time, whether he had a good eye for selecting people. How dignified and generous was the queen back then, and she looked very kind, not like a woman who likes to participate in the struggle. For this reason, he also secretly investigated the Queen's growth experience, and was naturally very satisfied.
"Empress, I'm only seventeen this year, and I still need to learn a lot from the Queen Mother. Things in the courtroom cannot be explained clearly in a few words."
He Lianfu's words were serious. If it wasn't for the Queen Mother, he would have been bullied and cried by the ministers every day. Those old men were more difficult to deal with, and he was only a few years old when he ascended the throne.
If there is no Ning Zhiqing in charge, he is afraid that he will really be a puppet emperor. Although Ning Zhiqing wants power, he has not stopped him from controlling the power he should have. The other party he wants to learn will never be stingy to teach him. He could say that since ancient times, none of the queen mothers who ruled under the curtain could compare to Ning Zhiqing's treatment of him. Ever since he understood the relationship between Ning Zhiqing and A Xin, he seemed to understand why the other party didn't miss the court every day.
Once, he accidentally overheard their conversation. It was Ning Zhiqing who complained to A Xin that going to court was boring. If they didn't need to sit in high positions, once they lost their power, they would be helpless. He Lianfu understood that Ning Zhiqing was in power only to protect what she cared about.
"In a few years, the emperor will be twenty years old, and it is time for him to govern himself."
The empress was a little uncomfortable. She was the empress after all. She was supposed to be the most honorable woman in the harem. No matter what the palace staff do, the first thing to consider is the Queen Mother and Concubine Lin. What she was thinking was whether the two in the harem should give in after He Lianfu took control of the government.
He Lianfu's expression was a bit indescribable. The Queen's vision was really too shallow. How could she understand the importance of the Queen Mother.
"The queen should stop talking about things in the courtroom."
He Lianfu just wanted to dispel the Queen's bad thoughts, but in fact it was for her good, so as not to offend the evil star of the Queen Mother, and the truly unfathomable woman Lin Taifei, "I don't want to hear you talk about the Queen Mother and Lin in the future. Not the concubine's."
The queen had never encountered He Lianfu's indifference, and felt very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything more, and the two fell asleep back to back. He Lianfu put this matter behind him, thinking that with the queen's ability, he couldn't make a big wave.
"What's that place?"
The queen pointed to a certain palace, looked a little depressed, and asked curiously, the palace maid beside her whispered, "That is the palace of the Emperor Taishang."
"The Emperor Taishang?" The queen had heard of the Emperor Taishang. It was said that she fell ill many years ago and did not expect to live in this place. Seeing that the gate of the palace was so depressed, she intuitively told her that there was something hidden in it that was not known to the public.
"Go and see this palace."
"Empress, please don't go there." Although there is no clear rule that you are not allowed to see the Taishanghuang, the people in the palace subconsciously think that there is no place to go.
But the queen was not feeling well at first, so she raised her chin, "Bengong has been in the palace for a year or two. No matter what, I have to meet the father and emperor to fulfill my filial piety."
The queen walked straight to Helianzheng's palace regardless of the hindrance of the maids behind her. The guards guarding the gate of the palace stopped her, "Empress, please stay."
"Bengong wants to go in to see the royal father, how do you stop this palace? Or, is there a secret here?" The queen's imposing appearance made the guards a little embarrassed. After all, this is the queen.
Seeing the hesitant appearance of the other party, the queen was even more curious about the secret inside. She always felt that the secret had something to do with the queen mother. Perhaps, the emperor was the queen mother. The emperor is so afraid of the queen mother, does she know that the queen mother is very powerful, or is threatened by the queen mother? So she must go in, and when she helps the emperor get rid of the empress dowager, this harem will be her world.
The guards were still hesitating when He Qing came over, "What's going on?"
"Commander He, it's the Empress who wants to go in and see the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor doesn't like to be disturbed, and his subordinates dare not let the Empress enter at will."
He Qing narrowed his eyes and bowed to the queen first, before saying, "My lady wants to see the Emperor Taishang?"
"Naturally, what is Commander He's opinion?"
He Qing pondered for a while, "I don't dare to have an opinion," he raised his hand, "What are you doing to stop the Empress and the Empress to enter, and she will wince later, this is the Empress."
The Empress felt much more comfortable, and smiled at He Qing, "If Commander He is reasonable, then this palace will go to see the father first."
Seeing the disappearance of the Queen's figure, the two confidants looked at He Qing hesitantly, not quite understanding what he meant. He Qing retracted his gaze and sneered.
"stupid."
"Wait a while and watch her, lest she do anything bad, notify the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lin about it, and see what they will do with it. I'll tell you from the emperor's side."
He Qing finally took a deep look at the direction in which the queen was leaving, and left with sarcasm. He would not allow anyone to hurt him and the children of Concubine. Since the queen is courting her own death, he is welcome. Such an ignorant person will bring danger to his son sooner or later.
He was amused when he heard Fu'er say that the queen was afraid of the queen mother. He was in this palace every day, and only then did he understand the horror of the queen mother and Concubine Lin. But he was not afraid at all, they were always on the same boat, and no one could turn it over. The queen wanted to pull the queen mother into the water, but in the end it must be his fuer, what a stupid thing.
The queen walked into the somewhat dark palace, opened the door and saw everything inside, and was a little stunned.
"Who are you?" Bai Xi raised her head, her hair was disheveled, and she asked with a pale face.
The queen was startled, but quickly calmed down and said high above, "I am the queen."
"Empress?" Bai Xi's somewhat old face was startled, and he quickly laughed, "Empress of Helianfu?"
"Hahaha..." Bai Xi looked at Helianzheng with wide-eyed eyes, "Did you hear it clearly, your wild bastard not only ascended the throne, but also married the queen, are you happy?"
The queen didn't expect the scene in front of her at all, and she felt something was wrong. Bai Xi suddenly stopped her, "Come here."
"I'll tell you a secret, do you think it's wrong when you come here?" Bai Xi can't go out, but she can't go out. If someone helps her, she especially wants people outside to be saved.
The queen hesitated for a while, but walked towards Bai Xi.
After a long time, the queen came out of Helianzheng's palace with a bad face, her eyes were full of shock, and things were more terrifying than she imagined.
It was the day when Helian Fu was resting in the Queen's Palace. On this day, the Queen was very enthusiastic about toasting Helian Fu, and there was nothing but enthusiasm. He Lianfu also refused to come, and soon got drunk. Ask the maid to help He Lianfu up to the couch, and when there are only two people, she takes out the dagger.
She had secretly passed the truth that she heard that day to her father, who must have taken someone to save the Emperor Taishang by now. She took a deep breath, and Concubine Xi said that as long as Helian was killed again, their family would be the hero.
The queen hesitated for a long time, and finally stabbed He Lianfu in the heart. He Lianfu is not Helianzheng's seed, the origin of this throne is unknown, and it is simply to discredit Helian.
However, the knife did not go in and was held by Helianfu.
There was a bit of sadness on Helianfu's face, "Empress, is it that I'm not good enough for you?" He didn't have much affection for the concubines, so he tried to satisfy them in other ways, but he didn't expect to share the bed with him for two years. The queen, who stabbed a knife in his heart when she didn't want anything, really made him feel a little chilled.
The queen was pale with fright and said subconsciously, "You are not the son of the Emperor Taishang at all, so..."
"So I shouldn't be sitting on the throne?" He Lianfu pushed the Empress open with a disastrous face. At this time, the door was also pushed open. Ning Zhiqing brought A Xin in, she sneered at He Lianfu, "Boy, Ai Jia said Now, your vision is really not very good, if it weren't for the Aijia, you don't know who will be killed by this kid, do you believe it now?"
Helianfu's eyes were a little red, like a wounded child, he threw away the dagger and walked quickly in front of A Xin and Ning Zhiqing, just looking at them like that.
Ning Zhiqing couldn't take it anymore, "Okay, I know you're wronged, I'll leave it to the Aijia to deal with it." Then she found out that Helianfu is so big, and he still pulls Axin's sleeve like he was a child , a little angry, "If you are wronged, you will be wronged. Don't hold on to A Xin's sleeve. Emperor, you are almost an adult. You have to learn to take care of yourself and calm down your grievances, understand?"
This time, Helianfu didn't let go of A Xin's sleeve. Although the Queen Mother did not have a bad heart, she always sneered at him. Now he is hurt and needs the comfort of a gentle concubine. Seeing the empress dowager's frying hair, I felt much more comfortable. I knew that he should have gathered in front of the concubine more often. It is also good to be angry with the empress dowager.
"Okay, Zhiqing, you can deal with the matter here first, and Fu'er go out with me."
Ning Zhiqing gritted her teeth, she really was a stinky boy, he deserved to be stabbed by a woman, hum. In the end, she resigned herself to deal with the mess here.
She came to the queen and looked down at each other, "You are so stupid."
"You are too cruel. It should be said that you only care about your safety and glory, and you have no sincerity with him at all. Even if he has no feelings for you, he has always been as good to you as possible. Since ancient times, have you I've heard that there are no more than five concubines in the emperor's harem. When he established you as the empress, he naively said that only one empress was established, and it's okay not to accept the concubine?"
The queen was stunned, a little incredible, how is it possible
"Aijia told him that he can do whatever he wants, as long as he can bear it." Ning Zhiqing said with a smile, "He thought about it and decided to spend a year to see if he can only spend his life with you, obviously You let him down. He is actually very smart, but his heart is not so cruel. Seeing that you don't have much sincerity for him, you only responded when the minister proposed to accept the concubine. As long as you are willing to give him a little sincerity, he can Resist the pressure, only you, the queen, do not accept concubine. He can do it. Even if he can't do it now, Aijia will support him."
"Take it." Ning Zhiqing said expressionlessly when the queen was stunned, "Tell the world that the queen has passed away." Those who have stabbed He Lianfu will naturally not be able to live. He Lianfu couldn't do it, of course she had to come, she was used to killing anyway, but only this time she would help He Lianfu.
After executing the queen for a long time, Helianfu did not come out. Ning Zhiqing couldn't stand it anymore, and finally threw a lot of memorials to him.
He Lianfu raised his head and looked at Ning Zhiqing's happy appearance with A Xin in his heart. He felt extremely jealous, "Empress Mother, I am in a lot of pain right now, can you take it lightly? There are so many memorials, it will not be finished in the middle of the night. what."
"Then continue to criticize tomorrow." Ning Zhiqing said with a smile, looking sideways at A Xin, "Right, A Xin."
A Xin smiled and nodded, "Well, Fu'er, criticize, you are the emperor, and the memorial should have been approved by you."
"I used to think that the concubine was the most gentle person."
A Xin's eyes were full of smiles, "What made you feel so delusional?"
"Yeah, that's just an illusion." He Lianfu sat speechlessly in front of the dragon's case, silently approving the memorial. After a long time, he looked up at the two who hadn't left yet, and felt a little moved, "The queen mother, the concubine don't want it. I'm worried, I've already come out, but I just can't figure it out for a while, it's late at night, you should go back and rest first."
"Criticize it slowly, it's very unusual to stay up late at home occasionally, and A Xin doesn't mind." Ning Zhiqing sat holding A Xin's hand, "The three of us haven't gotten along like this for a long time, it's like going back to many years ago. the cold palace."
He Lianfu refused to persuade him. Although those days were frightened, they were indeed a very happy time. Unconsciously, there was a smile on his face, and he wrote the memorial with peace of mind, as if he had really returned to the moonlight in the cold palace. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only the three of them were busy.
Many years later, both Ning Zhiqing and A Xin were already grey-haired. She leaned on the bed and held A Xin's hand tightly, expecting, "A Xin, can you kiss me again?"
A Xin lowered her head and kissed Ning Zhiqing's lips, when she was about to let go, Ning Zhiqing pulled her and whispered in her ear, "A Xin, you are not Lin Xin, right? "
"Yeah." A Xin was not surprised by Ning Zhiqing's question. Ning Zhiqing got the answer she wanted, her eyes were bright, "You are a fairy, you are only here for me, aren't you?"
A Xin's eyes were curved, full of love, and pressed against Ning Zhiqing's ear, "Yes, just for you."
"In the next life, will you still come for me?"
"For you."
"It's good." Ning Zhiqing smiled brightly, "Axin, kiss me again, I want to be kissed to death by you."
A Xin satisfied Ning Zhiqing, kissed the other's forehead, and the hand that held her gradually slipped down, a tear dripped from the corner of A Xin's eyes, and finally lay down beside Ning Zhiqing and said softly, "Just for you. Come, you will kill me."
After a long time, He Lianfu pushed open the door and went in, and what he saw was that the two of them were shaking hands and lying peacefully on the couch. With a sour heart, he said loudly, "Bury the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lin together."
In the place where the palace servants could not see, Helianfu's eyes were flushed, and tears could not stop flowing, "The Queen Mother is gone, and Concubine Lin is gone, and no one will protect me from now on."
