The rice was knocked to the ground, and Grandma Hua was stunned.

The little palace maid actually knew that just attracting Queen Qu was not enough now.

The nanny who was just mentioned died suddenly in the cold palace, which was undoubtedly a favorable opportunity. By then, Queen Qu would have even more reason to deal with Dao Qiuchi.

But when the poisonous meal was about to reach Grandma Hua's mouth, the little palace maid hesitated.

This is a living human life. She does not claim to be a good person, but she cannot be so cool as to not care about a life dying in front of her eyes.

She looked at the food blankly, maybe she could pretend to be poisoned.

Mother Hua was stunned for only a moment, and she immediately grabbed another bowl in her hand. Without waiting for the little palace maid to react, she directly took it into her mouth and swallowed it.

She seemed to have been hungry for months. She didn't even have time to use chopsticks and took the two plates of food into her mouth.

The little palace maid was shocked, grabbed her hand and shouted: "Stop eating!"

Aunt Hua then laughed, "This is all mine! I should enjoy it all!"

She continued to speak crazily and insincerely, but her eyes became increasingly moist.

As she talked, "what should be enjoyed by me" became "what should be suffered by me."

A fishy sweetness filled her mouth, and she spat out a mouthful of blood-stained food.

The little palace maid was stunned and couldn't figure out why she actually swallowed it even though Aunt Hua knew it was poisonous.

Aunt Hua spat out another mouthful of blood. Only then did the little palace maid's mind clear up. She hugged her and shouted, "Someone is here! Help!"

The people outside the door saw the little palace lady starting to shout and ran away.

The little palace maid ran to the gate and started beating on the gate, shouting, trying to attract people to come.

Mother Hua behind her suddenly said softly: "Ghost girl, come here..."

When the little palace maid heard this, she quickly ran over again and put her ear in front of her as if she was afraid of not hearing her words.

Aunt Hua said: "As soon as I leave, your big things will be done..."

The little palace maid was stunned. Did she know that she was an abandoned son from early on?

"...Why do you want to eat it? Don't you know how to act? Just pretend to eat it and pretend to be poisoned... Why do you really want to eat it?"

The little palace maid suddenly scolded her.

This woman...why did she risk her life completely even though she knew she was using her?

Aunt Hua leaned on the pillar beside the steps, her mouth was full of blood, she smiled and said: "Silly girl...if I don't die...do you think Queen Qu can help you?"

Her face was pale with no trace of blood, and she had to take a breath after saying a word.

"In the emperor's heart, as long as he has women and children, he doesn't care whether these women live well or not, and he doesn't care whether his children are happy or not. He only cares about his imperial power and his country...

He can love someone for the sake of the country, and he can also kill someone for the sake of the country...

But men are generally like this... If you want to win him, you can't just rely on emotion... You must be more ruthless than him and know what he wants better than him...

With what he wants, he can be pampered and proud..."

The walls of Youting are taller than any other palace walls in the palace.

When Grandma Hua said this, she kept looking outside the wall, as if she could see the outside of the palace and the beautiful water and green mountains of their southern Liang.

"The walls of the imperial city are too high. They are so high that people cannot get out when they come in. They are so high that people can never see the world outside the walls for the rest of their lives...

That stupid woman named Dao Mucha, if given the chance, will definitely not enter this imperial city again..."

She murmured and looked at the little palace maid again.

"If she knew that the child she gave birth to would survive and grow up, and would be hunted down, she would never have given birth to you and made your life so miserable..."

The little palace maid's eyes were sore. She didn't know whether it was for the Dao Mucha that Aunt Hua was talking about, or for the woman in front of her who had been called Aunt Hua all her life and would never even have a name again.

Seeing that the little palace maid's eyes were slightly red, and Mother Hua's eyes were full of love, she raised her hand and touched the little palace maid's face. The silver snake bracelet on her wrist was particularly dazzling.

"Good-looking. My child, you are so good-looking...can you tell me what your name is?"

She asked the little palace maid this question on the first day she came, but the little palace maid didn't say anything. Now looking at this poor dying woman, the little palace maid's eyes are getting moister.

"My name is...Yuan Tong'er."

she says.

Aunt Hua savored her name carefully, and her tears flowed more heavily.

She kept touching Yuan Tong'er's head and looking her up and down, as if she wanted to take away everything about her in her mind.

Suddenly there was a violent cough, and they knew that the poison had entered their lungs.

A living life passed by bit by bit in front of Yuan Tong'er. It was the first time she saw such a scene. She didn't know whether it was fear or something, but she burst into tears.

She supported Grandma Hua, who was about to tilt, and asked eagerly: "Mammy, how are you? Just hold on... I'll call someone..."

She was about to get up when she was held back by Aunt Hua, "My child, there's no need to go. Just stay with me..."

Yuan Tong'er hesitated slightly, and subconsciously followed her and knelt down again.

Aunt Hua was very attached to Yuan Tong'er, and she would look at her with tears in her eyes. She seemed to have so many things to say, and she didn't know where to start, and she became increasingly confused.

She looked at the trees in the yard that seemed to be sprouting new buds, and said, "This year's spring came a year ago..."

Yuan Tong'er lowered her head and said nothing, just supported her and looked at her.

Aunt Hua smiled, "Don't worry, my death will be the last straw that breaks Dao Qiuchi's life... If you see Aunt Hua again, tell her not to cry. The flowers in Nanliang are about to bloom. I I finally...went back..."

After she finished speaking, her head, which was lazily leaning on the pillar, gradually dropped.

The door of Youting was finally opened, and the person who broke in was wearing an indigo-purple robe, with skin like jade, eyebrows like black, and beautiful appearance.

When he saw Yuan Tong'er kneeling on the steps, he was stunned...

The guards carried Granny Hua's body outside, and Qu Baiyu ordered people to invite Emperor Jingyuan.

Looking at Yuantong'er who was kneeling in front of him, Emperor Jingyuan looked very unkind. He didn't ask anything and just stared at her with a pair of eyes.

Yuan Tong'er knew that, as Aunt Hua said, women and children were dispensable to the emperor, and he would not destroy the standards he used to check and balance for the sake of a daughter who came halfway.

He didn't ask, and she didn't say anything. She just knelt there quietly, waiting for Emperor Jingyuan to ask.

Her calmness made Emperor Jing Yuan a little confused, but in the end he couldn't hold it back and spoke first.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Yuan Tong'er raised his head slightly and looked at him.

"Afraid.

Return to Daddy, my daughter is afraid...

When I was being hunted, I was afraid I would never see my dad again. Now that I have seen it, I am no longer afraid. "

Emperor Jingyuan stared at her and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What did you call me?"

Yuan Tong'er replied: "Dad."

There was a long silence all around, and everyone's eyes were wide open because of Yuan Tong'er's words, but they still kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, as silent as cicadas.

Qu Baiyu stood behind Queen Qu, looking at Yuan Tong'er in disbelief, but said nothing.

“Presumptuous! ”

A sound of footsteps came from far and near, and Imperial Concubine Dao roared angrily before she even got close.

"Where is the Tungsten Guard? Why don't you kill this disrespectful girl on the spot!"
