After redemption, he took away the luck of the future queen

The next day.

Ninghe Palace.

There was a hint of gloom in Ninghe Palace, and no one dared to say a word at this juncture.

All the concubines who came to pay their respects to the queen had solemn faces, waiting for the queen to let them go.

Since the queen gave birth, her temper has changed drastically. She is no longer the virtuous and virtuous person she used to be, and she is no longer impartial in dealing with things.

The current queen's temper is unpredictable, good and bad, and I don't know what happened today. Looking at the queen's face, I can tell that the queen is angry, but I don't know who she is angry with.

This year's new showgirl Zhen Meiren was favored by the emperor and was able to come to the queen every day to pay her respects. She stood there with her head bowed, not daring to raise her head, for fear that the queen would pick on her as a soft persimmon.

The queen's eyes wandered around Concubine Xie and Concubine De, and then moved her eyes away as if nothing had happened, moving to Zhen Meiren.

Her eyes flickered back and forth between Zhenmei and Song Jieyu, with a strong murderous intent in her eyes.

The emperor favored the new beautiful lady, but not the palace maids around her. So where would her son come from? Could it be that he wanted to snatch the child of Zhen Meiren or Song Jieyu? But when would they be able to conceive the emperor's child?

She couldn't wait any longer and felt frustrated.

Does she have no choice but to raise the eldest prince?

She vaguely felt that the emperor was accelerating the movement to gather power. He was making arrangements and preparing for the Queen Mother to take action.

Is the Queen Mother going to take action at her birthday banquet?

After thinking about it, the queen felt that it was impossible. The queen mother was lying flat and she didn't have the strength. So who was the emperor guarding against?

Is the emperor guarding himself?

She placed her own people everywhere, but she did this only to protect herself and did not threaten the imperial power. What was the emperor supposed to do to prevent her?

The person the emperor should be on guard against was Prince Rong. Prince Rong had great power and was in charge of Shenji Camp.

Or, the emperor should be wary of Concubine De's father, Duke Wei, who holds military power and wields power over both the government and the public.

"I'm a little tired."

The queen's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The concubines took their time and filed out of Ninghe Palace. In fact, everyone wanted to rush out of Ninghe Palace and stay away from the Queen.

The queen's face was terrible.

After the others left, the Queen asked Aunt Yang, "Auntie, can I only raise the eldest prince?"

Nanny Yang twitched her forehead and said truthfully: "Queen, it's okay for you to raise the eldest prince. The eldest prince is the most likely candidate to be established as the prince."

The queen didn't say anything, always feeling unwilling to do so and really looking down on the eldest prince.

"Mammy, how is Ren Zhen?" The queen asked about something else.

The queen asked about Ren Zhen?

Ren Zhen was the person who had discussed marriage with the queen before she entered the palace. The queen almost got engaged to him. Later, the eldest princess Yulong knew that the late emperor wanted to succeed the current emperor and that the queen was expected to become the emperor of the middle palace, so she gave up the marriage. Thoughts on marrying Ren Zhen.

If the Queen mentions Ren Zhen at this time, if others find out, something big will happen, and Aunt Yang will be worried for the Queen.

Grandma Yang was stunned and stuttered: "Empress, Ren Zhen has gone to serve in the Sixth Department."

The queen looked at Nanny Yang with an open face. She didn't feel there was anything wrong with mentioning Ren Zhen at this time, but deep down in her heart, she regretted not marrying Ren Zhen.

If you marry Ren Zhen, will you live a better life?

Will he have a child that is truly his own?

"Empress, can I ask the eldest princess what she wants?" Nanny Yang looked nervous and quickly changed the subject. She was beating a drum in her heart and didn't want to mention Ren Zhen again.

Ren Zhen should be taboo among the Queen and should not be mentioned.

"Yes." The queen's interest waned and she lowered her eyes and said, "Mom, go and ask your mother."

Aunt Yang left the palace, asked about the eldest princess Yulong, and then immediately returned to the palace to resume her duties.

"The Queen, the eldest princess said that the Queen should raise the eldest prince as soon as possible. She said that there were changes in the capital, and the atmosphere was solemn. She said that the Shenji Camp was completed, and the emperor might start the indifferent purge that shocked the government and the public for the first time since he ascended the throne. , I think the days to come will not be peaceful.”

The queen swept away her dejected look and sat up straight, "Did mother really say that?"

The Queen was vaguely uneasy, and she felt it too. She always felt that something big had happened, otherwise the Emperor would not have made such a big move, and even abolished the Iron-Blooded Guards in order to gather the Royal Guards.

Aunt Yang nodded nervously, "Empress, the eldest princess said that it would be best for the empress to raise the issue of raising the eldest prince on the Queen Mother's birthday, and it will definitely happen."

The queen frowned.

Isn’t the Queen Mother’s birthday in October?

Okay, just wait a few more months.

If the emperor favored the maids in her palace before the Queen Mother's birthday, then she would not know how to choose.

In his free time these days, Pian He took a trip to the east side of the capital, which he had never been to before.

No rare plants were found.

Then, we walked to the northeast of the capital again.

The area where you can move around in the northeast is relatively small, because there is a royal sacrificial rooftop, which is enclosed. However, it still allows Pian He to discover the species that can be collected, the Jianmu tree.

According to the system, the Jianmu tree is a very ancient tree and is considered a bridge between humans and gods. It is not surprising that it appears on the rooftop of sacrifices.

Pian He couldn't enter the Sacrifice Rooftop Square, so he couldn't see what the Jianmu tree looked like.

However, what surprised Pian He was that the location of the Jianmu tree was not in the center of the sacrificial rooftop square, but in a corner of the sacrificial rooftop, as if it had been forgotten.

Pian He couldn't help but ask the system, "System, since Jianmu is so important and mysterious, why is it not in the center of the rooftop for sacrifices?"

System: [Host, the tree is too old. There is only a huge trunk left without branches and leaves, like a dead tree. It was only because of its huge size that it was not cut down. 】

"Oh, I understand." A thought flashed through Pian He's mind, "The system means that Jian Mucheng is like this. They don't know the stuff."

However, this has nothing to do with her. Pian He doesn't understand at all whether to sacrifice or not. She only regards collecting trees as a task to earn points.

Collecting this building tree can earn you 100,000 points.

One hundred thousand points!

[Host, maybe it’s like you said, they don’t even know it’s Jianmu Shu. 】Speaking systematically and mechanically.

Suddenly, beep-----

A long series of beeps, deafening.

Pian He frowned, opened the system, and checked the information in the system. Then, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

[The system detected abnormal information. 】

[The system scan function is invalid. 】

[The system map function is invalid. 】

[The system redemption function is invalid. 】

[The system is waiting for update. 】

The system pops up two options.

1. Update the system immediately.

Second, update the system later.

Pian He was stunned.

The system actually needs to be updated? !

What triggers a system update?

Could it be Jianmu Shu?

Beep-----

Another long series of deafening beeps.

[Host, choose one or two? 】The system urges.

Pian Huan thought for a moment and didn't understand the situation at all. She could only choose to update the system later. She had to think about it carefully.

However, the system didn't give her any time to think about it.

Two more options pop up.

1. Update in ten minutes.

2. Update in ten days.

[Host, please choose? 】The system urged again.

Pian He chose to update in ten days, but she hadn't thought clearly about it yet.

The system is very easy to use, why not update it?

Why do you need to update?

Even if she wants to update, she should wait until she collects Jianmu Shu and earns 100,000 points before updating.

Pian Huan was very dissatisfied and could not enter the rooftop to worship and collect trees, so he returned to the palace in a depressed manner.
