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

Su Rumeng brought Liu Yunxiang outside the hall and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yunxiang asked confused.

Su Rumeng smiled and said, "Go in by yourself."

Liu Yunxiang saw that Su Rumeng seemed to be in trouble, so she nodded and asked Su Rumeng to go back to rest while she went in by herself.

When he came to the living room, Liu Yunxiang saw the queen sitting on the main seat, closing her eyes and concentrating. However, after not seeing her for three years, the queen's hair was all gray, her age was showing, and her brows were furrowed, as if she hadn't let go for a long time.

She was a queen and had two legitimate sons, which was originally the most advantageous situation, but both sons were useless. She couldn't teach them well and couldn't protect them. As the situation slowly turned around, she couldn't do anything about it.

"You have already returned to Beijing." The queen slowly opened her eyes and looked at Liu Yunxiang, her eyes darkened, "Lao Qi died in Beijin. If I were you, I would hide in Zhenbei and never return to Beijing."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Zhenbei is no longer safe for me."

"Oh? Don't they only recognize you and Lao Qi?"

"Shangguan Xu's people are in control of the situation."

The queen was startled for a moment, then laughed, "That old guy is very cunning, and the only one who can escape from his hands is the seventh child. It's a pity."

"My son is in Shangguan Xu's hands."

The queen raised her eyebrows, "So?"

"So I want to ask the queen to help rescue my son."

When the queen heard this, she first thought she had heard it wrong, and then thought Liu Yunxiang was joking, but seeing her seriousness, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You asked me to help you? Haha, Liu Yunxiang, Liu Yunxiang, you went to Beijin, are you stupid? You actually asked me to come to me?" The queen laughed so hard.

Liu Yunxiang looked at her quietly, waiting for her to laugh enough.

When the queen saw Liu Yunxiang like this, her smile slowly faded, "No, you are just as full of schemes as Yan Mu, you..."

The Queen thought of something, slammed the table hard, and said coldly: "No matter what your plans are, I will never trust you again, let alone help you!"

Thinking that she had been tricked by Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang several times before, she had developed a good memory and would never fall into it again.

This time it was Liu Yunxiang's turn to smile: "Queen, Yan Mu is dead, Zhenbei is lost, and I, Liu Yunxiang, have nothing left. Do I still make you so afraid? Besides, you came to see me today, so you are not just here to laugh at me. Yes, right?"

The queen narrowed her eyes, "Then why do you think I came to see you?"

"You can't deal with Jin You and Shangguan Xu by yourself, you need help."

"Heh, you said you could help me?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "We help each other. The queen helped me rescue my son from Shangguan Xu. I helped the queen reverse the current passive situation and let the third and fourth princes return to their rightful places."

"Ha, by you?"

"The Queen has no other choice?"

The queen pursed her lips, she was indeed gone. In the past three years, Shangguan Xu had suppressed her father and brother, and their power was no longer what it used to be. The other ministers who clung to her gradually defected to Shangguan Xu.

She is now isolated and helpless. Once the emperor decides to appoint a heir, she has no chance of winning.

The queen lowered her eyes. She didn't trust Liu Yunxiang and knew that she was likely to be used, but she had no other choice.

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth and continued: "The emperor ordered a large selection of women to fill the harem. What does the queen think the emperor thinks?"

The Queen snorted, "The palace selects a beautiful girl every three years. Isn't it strange?"

"But last time the emperor canceled it. Even though the selection was made last time, the emperor sent the selected women out of the palace again, and this time it was a general election. The selection was carried out in various places, which caused a stir in the army and the opposition of the ministers. The emperor was in court The court was furious, and many officials were dismissed and investigated, which shows that he did not follow the convention, but made his own choice."

The Queen took a deep breath and said, "The Emperor has nine sons, but the only one in front of him is the Ninth Prince. He probably wants to have a few more princes in the palace."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes. The queen didn't say anything, which was that the third and fourth princes were not qualified. If the emperor established a heir, he could only be the ninth prince.

"Is the Ninth Prince weak?"

The Queen didn't understand why Liu Yunxiang asked this, and just said: "No, the Ninth Prince has practiced martial arts with a martial arts master since he was a child, so he has become very strong."

"Is the Ninth Prince a stupid person?"

"Hmph, there are many evil minds, just like his mother."

"How's your homework?"

"It's not bad, Mrs. Chang always praises me."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "If the Ninth Prince is so outstanding, why is the Emperor so anxious to have more children? The throne can just be passed on to him."

The queen was silent for a moment, then sneered: "The eighth prince and the ninth prince are ten years apart, which means that during these ten years, the emperor did not let other concubines in the harem get pregnant. When Jin You entered the palace, she became pregnant soon. The palace did There were rumors that the emperor was actually sterile and that Jin You was pregnant with a bastard. But it was just a rumor. The emperor didn't believe it at all. In addition, Jin You had Shangguan Xu behind him, and Shangguan Xu's power was so powerful that he could only cover it with one hand. To be honest, even if the Ninth Prince is not the emperor's son, Shangguan Xu can help him to the throne."

And she had been trampled hard by them, and it was almost impossible to turn over.

"The emperor must have doubts, so he chose the draft."

The Queen's thoughts turned around, "But the Emperor loves the Ninth Prince very much, and personally taught him martial arts and calligraphy, and even brought him to the court. How could he doubt it?"

"I didn't doubt it before, but now I do. The emperor must have discovered something."

Liu Yunxiang's words were not just random guesses. She remembered that in her previous life, the Ninth Prince ascended the throne, Jin You became the Queen Mother, Yan Mu was executed, and not long after a scandal broke out in the palace. The Queen Mother was pregnant, and she was carrying the child of a eunuch, and the eunuch was not clean at all.

Shangguan Xu originally wanted to support Qin Fei, but with his ingenuity in controlling the overall situation, how could he let Jin You become pregnant with the emperor's child? This was tantamount to leaving a curse for themselves.

So she guessed that the Ninth Prince was not the emperor's son, and Yan Mu in the previous life might have known that no matter how much Jin You trusted him, she didn't want her tail to be in his hands, so she framed and killed him.

Of course, all of this was just speculation on her part.

"The queen might as well check Jin You's palace, especially the little eunuch beside her, she might find out some big secrets."

The queen was not stupid, she naturally understood what Liu Yunxiang meant, and couldn't help but be shocked, "How is that possible!"

"How will the queen know if she doesn't check?"

The queen exhaled, "According to what you said, the emperor has already discovered it, so why doesn't he deal with Jin You?"

"The emperor may not have discovered the truth, but he is just suspicious because of something, otherwise the current situation would not be like this."

"If it's true, then..."

"The third prince and the fourth prince can return to their seats."

The emperor needs a son to stabilize the country. As for whether he can have a son, that is another matter.

The queen looked happy, but then she thought: "Then what benefits can you get?"
