After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

In the front hall of Hui'an Temple, Liu Yunxiang added money for sesame oil and was helped out by Jinyan.

When I went out, the sky was clear and clear, but now it was covered with dark clouds, and the wind blew on me, chilling my bones.

"Girl, let's go back home early, preferably before the rain." Jin Yan said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Let's go."

She had just taken two steps when a woman wearing a brown dark-grained cotton quilt with gray temples blocked her way. Behind the woman were two slender young men wearing light blue plain robes.

The woman held her hands, lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "This old slave is Aunt Jiang from Feifeng Palace."

Feifeng Palace?

The Queen's Middle Palace!

Liu Yunxiang was slightly stunned. Could it be that the Queen's Feng Jia was also in Hui'an Temple? But it's none of her business, right?

"The noble man wants to see you."

Liu Yunxiang suppressed his fright and said with a smile on his face, "Mother Jiang, I wonder why you see me?"

Aunt Jiang looked a little colder, "Third Madam, you don't need to ask so much."

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Grandma Jiang was here specifically to wait for her, which meant that she knew she was coming to Hui'an Temple today.

Thinking deeply again, Liu Yunxiang felt a chill in his back.

She quietly glanced at Jinyan, and then said: "Mother Jiang, can you let me, the maid, go to the carriage to get the ginseng pills I left? I need to take them regularly."

"The Third Madam has no use for it."

"Mommy, what does this mean?"

"Okay, don't keep your lady waiting too long."

Aunt Jiang said as she walked towards the corridor next to the front hall. The two young eunuchs behind her urged them to follow her quickly.

Walk all the way back, straight up the back mountain, and enter a forest.

Under a ginkgo tree, a woman wearing a light yellow bright satin embroidered peony double-breasted robe sat on a stone bench. She was dressed in nobility and looked majestic.

She is Empress Lu, who controls the harem and frightens the front court.

She is the sister of King Suping and Lu Changan's biological aunt. She gave birth to three sons and one daughter for the emperor, and her position is stable.

The former queen gave birth to her eldest son and was promoted to the crown prince. Not long ago, the crown prince was first deposed and then secretly executed.

Although the emperor has no longer established a prince, Empress Lu must be one of the three legitimate sons.

This was indeed the case in the last life. The emperor appointed Empress Lu's second prince as the crown prince. However, not long after, the prince died of a sudden illness, and the queen died of grief.

Liu Yunxiang calmed down and stepped forward to salute the queen.

"Are you the Liu family?" The voice was deep.

"My wife Liu Yunxiang."

"Raise your head and let me take a look."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Queen Lu. She looked at her with a bit of sarcasm in her eyebrows, and when she looked down at her swollen belly, she suddenly sank again.

"You do have a bit of a resemblance to her. If I say it, it's just a split or two. You are more beautiful than her and more attractive to men."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, unable to accept these words and did not dare to accept them.

"Although the Jing'an Marquis Mansion is not as good as it used to be, its dignity is still there. As the third wife of the house, you are pregnant with another man's child. I have convicted you of fornication. Do you have anything to say?"

Liu Yunxiang clenched his fists and let Jin Yan support him as he knelt down, "I would like to ask you to see clearly that I have been wronged."

"I am very aware of the matter between you and Lao Qi."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, how could the majestic queen know about her and Yan Mu's affair?

And even if it was clear, there was no need for the queen to come forward in such a matter. Why would she be charged with fornication, unless the queen wanted to target her, but she and the queen had no enmity...

"You shouldn't have kept this kid, but you did."

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."

When Liu Yunxiang was confused, Grandma Jiang came over with a cup of tea on a tray.

"The empress rewarded you, drink it quickly."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the cup of tea in front of him and suddenly had a bad premonition. He leaned over and kowtowed, "I'm so kind to you, I just want to give birth to this child and have no other ideas. I don't know your intention, but I I have no intention of going against my empress.”

Empress Lu sneered coldly, "Ms. Liu, I will give you a cup of tea. Why are you so scared?"

"Your Majesty, I cannot receive your reward."

"presumptuous!"

Liu Yunxiang knelt there, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body began to stiffen.

"Your Majesty, this slave will drink for my girl!" Jinyan went to grab the cup of tea, but was slapped to the ground by Aunt Jiang.

"Nothing is worthy of drinking the tea given by the empress."

"Jinyan!" Liu Yunxiang hurriedly helped Jinyan up, but saw blood coming from the corner of her mouth.

Jin Yan wiped it randomly, trying to protect Liu Yunxiang, but she couldn't do it on her own, so she could only wipe her tears anxiously.

"Girl, what should I do?"

Liu Yunxiang patted Jin Yan, took a deep breath, and looked at the cup of tea. Could it be that he really couldn't escape today?

When she didn't know what to do, a man came in a hurry and was blocked by a guard. He knocked him away, stepped forward and took away the cup of tea.

"Yan Mu, you are too presumptuous!"

Yan Mu smiled, a little unceremoniously, "Mother, I came in a hurry and my mouth is dry. Please give me this cup of tea."

With that said, before anyone could react, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yan Mu!" Liu Yunxiang was shocked.

"Lao Qi!" The queen's face suddenly turned green.

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang up, held her in his arms, and then faced the queen directly.

"She is timid, please don't scare her in the future."

"You...you are confused!" Queen Lu was angry and anxious, and her body was trembling.

"I'm just going to die. I came and left in a confused way, which is fine."

After saying that, he bent down and saluted Queen Lu, then walked down the mountain with Liu Yunxiang in his arms, walking faster and faster.

"Yan Mu..." Liu Yunxiang's voice was trembling.

"I am fine."

He said it was okay, but blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, more and more.

After reaching the mountain gate, Yan Mu suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
