Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xia Bai'an was pushed onto the stool inexplicably, and was rescued inexplicably.

Before she figured out what was going on, Mammy had brought her back to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the bed and drinking medicine, seeing that she was still in a daze, she retreated from the crowd and said calmly.

"At the time of the epidemic, the prince born to Concubine De Gui, the current Seventh Prince Li Jie, sent [-] troops to suppress the disaster and injured more than [-] people. The antidote, solved the catastrophe, and took the credit, Concubine Degui has held a grudge against you for a long time."

"That's how it is."

Xia Bai'an was stunned for a moment, she never thought that she could be cured and saved, and people could secretly trip her up, but her eyes brightened slightly and looked at the Queen Mother, "Then the reason why the Queen Mother is willing to protect me is because she doesn't like Concubine De Gui and the Seventh Prince , or is there another reason?"

As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly became sharper, and they fell directly on her body.

Xia Bai'an's throat rolled.

Naturally, she knew that she said this too bluntly, and once the queen mother admitted it, the impact would not be small.

But she felt that the Queen Mother hated crooked people more than straightforward people.

Concubine Degui has been married to her for a long time, and hates herself, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to change for a long time.

Instead of going to Concubine Degui to excuse herself, it would be better for the Queen Mother who already liked her to trust herself more.

And this trust is naturally to do what one likes.

The two stalemate for a long time, but it was the Queen Mother who looked away first: "You dare to say something that is treasonous."

"You can only dare to say it in front of the queen mother. And to be honest, I am not interested in the things in the palace, but the imperial concubine Degui is about to really punish me with a stick. If I don't get it in front of the queen mother Some kind of shelter, I am afraid that I will lose my life here."

Xia Bai'an spoke sincerely, and saw that the Empress Dowager's expression softened, she continued, "The Empress Dowager spoke bluntly about the grievances between Concubine Degui and me, and I don't want to go around in circles with the Empress Dowager. My words may be a bit treacherous, but I always have my heart."

After finishing speaking, she knelt down beside the bed quietly, waiting for the Queen Mother's answer with her head down.

The queen mother took a deep look at her and put down the empty bowl in her hand.

"The Ai family likes you, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Degui."

"What is that for?"

"Because of your outstanding medical skills, you can guard against hidden arrows in the palace. The Ai family will not let you do any rebellious things. There is only one thing. If you help the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely protect your family." The son is safe in the capital."

As the Queen Mother spoke, she suddenly waved to the outside.

An old nun beside her walked in, took Xia Bai'an to an empty side hall, and handed a note with the words "An Wang Li Chen" in Xia Bai'an's hand.

"King An?"

"For the rest, Imperial Physician Xia can inquire by himself."

Mammy smiled, but her eyes drifted to the window involuntarily.

In the palace, there are always ears that cannot be escaped.

For Xia Bai'an, the palace is full of his own family, so there is nothing he can't say... The queen mother is so secretive, maybe it's because there are some things that even the palace people can't hear, so she let her go out to inquire.

but……

Even if the Queen Mother doesn't tell, she will inquire about it herself.

……

The nuns beside the queen mother sent her away from the palace.

The first thing Xia Bai'an did after leaving the palace was to throw this note into the water. Afterwards, she returned to Xia's mansion, tidied it up a bit, found some small forces in the city with the help of Tie Zhu and Ergou, and inquired about The matter of King An.

This is not the first time the name An Wang has appeared.

The fugitive Cen Yishan and the traitor Fang Houde who had been buried in the Lin Mansion for many years all came from a small private school in Zizhu County, and the person behind the private school who paid the money was King An.

But the people in the court rarely talked about the prince, and the prince's own fiefdom was considered remote. It was very difficult to be self-sufficient and not cause trouble for the court. Apart from that, there was no other news.

Xia Bai'an didn't investigate the reason of King An carefully before.

In fact, it was because King An didn't really threaten her and Mo Che. After Mo Che dealt with Cen Yishan, he basically gave up investigating King An, and she didn't think much about it.

And now... She wants to get the protection of the Queen Mother, at least she will not be so easily threatened by Yun Xue.

Secretly, she found another reason for Yun Xue to kill her with one blow.

But I didn't expect that the root of all this was to protect this prince.

I don't know if it's fate?

Ergou was very familiar with the people nearby, and he easily found a few old people who were born and raised in the capital.

Several people made an appointment to meet in a small restaurant.

When the old man heard that Xia Bai'an wanted to know about King An, he didn't shy away from it and told him everything.

"Wang An, Li Chen, and the current emperor are brothers. His mother's family was even the Ji family that was very prosperous at the time, but because of an accident, almost no one was left in the Ji family. He died of depression.

Afterwards, Li Chen was sent to be educated under the empress dowager's knees. He was born with extraordinary intelligence, compared to the current emperor... It's a pity that he fell into the lake on the way, and when he got up again, he was a little delirious In the Qing Dynasty, people also became paranoid, and the former emperors did not train them any more.

In the end, the current emperor might be a little jealous of King An's elder brother, and sent him to a remote and bitter place as soon as he ascended the throne.But I heard that this King An is also very powerful, he lived well in the place where no birds lay eggs, and he also opened up the roads to the frontier, and he was a merchant, which can be regarded as an improvement. "

After stuttering for a while, the old man explained everything about Wang An clearly.

After Xia Bai'an listened, he braced his face.

It's not a novel story.

However, King An in this story sounds harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he buried so many people in the mansion and side of court officials, secretly afraid that he still has some ambitions for the throne.

She handed two strings of copper coins to the old man: "This story sounds good, thank you senior."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The old man smiled and accepted the money.

Ergou sent them away.

Qian Mingshu ate melon seeds: "Why did you suddenly inquire about King An?"

"Just ask."

Xia Bai'an's eyes wandered into the distance, and he was afraid that Qian Mingshu would think too much, so he could only add, "This matter has something to do with the harem, so just pretend you don't know about it, and I will take care of the rest."

"Hey! How can you make connections everywhere!" Qian Mingshu exclaimed.

Everyone's time is obviously the same, but why does he always feel that Xia Bai'an has much more time than himself!

Xia Bai'an just smiled: "In the past, I didn't want to engage in relationships, and I thought it was troublesome, so I waited for it to happen. Now... I want to take revenge on others, so of course I have the motivation to spare time to do things."

Taking revenge on Yunxue has to be done step by step.
