III Jiangshan

Shoukang Palace.

"Is everything cooked?" Queen Mother Wei asked.

"Don't worry, mother, everything has been cleaned." Yuan Youqi replied.

Empress Dowager Wei's sad expression did not relax because of this, but sighed: "Even so, the emperor is too rash!"

Yuan Youqi raised his eyebrows, understood in an instant, and smiled apologetically: "The empress loves the child very much, and is afraid that the child will be in danger, and if something happens, the child understands."

"You still do that when you understand!" Empress Dowager Wei glared at her.

He said again: "The Tan family and the Wu family are both desperadoes. According to Ai's family's wishes, it's fine to take care of them in secret!"

Yuan Youqi laughed and said: "I feel itchy, so I can't help but accompany them to perform a few performances. Who would have thought that they are so useless! It's a pity that I have a lot of clever tricks!"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Wei looked at her pretending to be pleased with herself, and couldn't help showing a smile, and said to her: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The emperor is the son of heaven, and his whole body involves thousands of people. , you should understand this truth even more!"

"What the empress taught me!" Yuan Youqi giggled.

Bringing another cup of hot tea, he still fawned over him and said, "I will serve tea to you, please calm the queen mother!"

Seeing her like this, Concubine Wei Xian couldn't bear to criticize her any more, she snorted lightly, expressing that she was not so easy to coax, but she also took the teacup and took a couple of sips.

Yuan Youqi then knew that most of the empress's anger because of worrying about herself had subsided.

Empress Dowager Wei finished her tea and thought about the details that Yuan Youqi had just narrated, still feeling suffocated.

"That lowly servant girl is really crazy, she dares to keep that thing!" Empress Wei said angrily.

"Yeah, it was originally arranged that Bi'er revealed that she was forced by Tan Shaoer to frame Tang Xi and Hui Rong. Unexpectedly, Bi'er not only pointed out that Tan Shaoer forced her to frame innocent people, but also pointed out that Zhou Leshi was poisoned. Poison was the mastermind of Tan Shaoer." The search of the Xianfu Palace found poison and medicine, and also found all kinds of...private and...things." Yuan Youqi became uncomfortable as he spoke.

Two days have passed since that turmoil, and Yuan Youqi still feels flustered when he thinks about the white silk stained with dark red that was found from Tan Shaoer's personal belongings in Xianfu Palace.

The dark red spots are obviously bloodstains, but I don't know if it's Tan Shaoer's, Wu Linlang's, or both.There are also things belonging to Wu Linlang that can be picked up everywhere in Xianfu Palace, including a few small portraits of Wu Linlang, which clearly point to the personal relationship between the two people, which cannot be pushed out.

As a woman who likes women, facing this situation, Yuan Youqi hated them for being dirty and messing up the harem, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable sigh in his heart.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Yuan Youqi's expression, seeing her resentment, she guessed that she was unhappy because of Tan Shaoer's affair with Wu Linlang.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the concubines are concubines after all, and they are their own concubines by name, but they do this kind of thing behind their backs, no one will feel comfortable.

Empress Dowager Wei then changed the topic considerately, and asked, "Has Tan's lowly maid confessed?"

Yuan Youqi shook his head slowly, and said, "She didn't confess anything... she just kept crying."

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Yuan Youqi, with a look of worry in her eyes, and asked: "The emperor sympathizes with her?"

Yuan Youqi shook his head again: "It's not sympathy, I just feel a little pitiful for her. When the truth was revealed and there was no excuse, she still couldn't believe it. In the end, I tore her skin openly and pointed out her various crimes, and she was shocked. Next, it seems that there is still something to look forward to..."

"What do you expect?" Queen Mother Wei asked.

"Perhaps, she is still waiting for Wu Linlang to come and save her." Yuan Youqi said sadly.

"Save her? That scoundrel heard the news, so he planned to run away first!" Queen Mother Wei sneered.

"Yes," Yuan Youqi replied, "Wu Linlang is very skilled, and her mind is much more cunning and suspicious than Tan Shaoer's. She found out that the news was not good, so she planned to escape. Fortunately, when the boy went to see Zhou Meiren, he had secretly sent Luan Tingsi quietly surrounded her residence, so she didn't escape..."

Yuan Youqi's voice gradually lowered, and the tragic scene of Wu Linlang being shot to death by random arrows reappeared in her mind.

"Such a scoundrel should have died a long time ago! The emperor doesn't have to blame himself for it." Empress Dowager Wei comforted her.

Yuan Youqi really blamed herself a little, and she didn't care about it, just because she knew that Wu Linlang was born by Huo Meiren back then, and she was the daughter of her third brother Yuan Chengbai.

When Yuan Chengbai was alive, he did a lot of evil, especially the past where he almost killed Gu Heng, which made Yuan Youqi feel resentful.But in Wu Linlang's body, after all, the blood of the Yuan family flows, she is his nephew just like Yuan Chun's and Seventh Brother's children.

Yuan Youqi also knew that Luan Tingsi only listened to the emperor's words and was only loyal to protecting the emperor's safety. An existence like Wu Linlang was too dangerous.Under the circumstances at that time, several members of Luanting Division were killed by Wu Linlang, if she was allowed to continue, there might be some troubles.

It is understandable that Guo Yi ordered the use of bows and arrows. After all, the emperor did not decree that he only wanted to live.

Although Guo Yi later pleaded guilty, saying that he was incompetent as a chief official, and had trapped several members of the Luan Tingsi, and no one was left alive, Yuan Youqi also pardoned his crime.However, Yuan Youqi still felt unhappy in her heart, as if she had killed her relatives with her own hands.

Yuan Youqi's gloomy gaze gradually returned to the original, and she saw more and more clearly: the real mastermind behind the scenes was not for any benefit, let alone seeking power and usurping the throne, that person just wanted to watch the descendants of the Yuan family kill each other , I want to watch myself slaughter my brother's child with my own hands, I want to deeply appreciate the pain of killing my relatives!

Such intentions are even more terrifying than seeking to usurp the throne.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at her distressedly, her voice softened, and she comforted: "Poor people must have something to hate. People who are evil don't deserve the emperor's pity for them."

Children raised by themselves have the clearest temperament, but they can't help but feel pity for young and beautiful women to a certain extent.

"What the empress mother taught!" Yuan Youqi bowed her head to be taught, and she was also clear about her own faults.

She herself really likes women, but it must be known that not all women in this world are worthy of love and affection.

Empress Dowager Wei patted the back of her hand lightly, indicating that she is the emperor, so she doesn't need to blame herself, as long as she controls it properly, it will be fine.

"Since I didn't recognize anything, I don't need to save my life. Ai's family should deal with it!" Queen Mother Wei said again.

Yuan Youqi knew that the queen mother was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, and wanted to help her quietly execute Tan Shaoer.

Dirty, chaotic palaces, attempting to manipulate the king, this is a capital crime, there is no room for forgiveness.But Yuan Youqi thought of more.

"I'm married to my mother," she said, "but the boy doesn't want to say anything about it."

"What does the emperor mean?" Empress Dowager Wei seemed to understand somewhat.

"Ganzhou," Yuan Youqi said bluntly, "Tan Shaoer and Wu Linlang can make such a fuss, how could the Tan family and the Wu family not know about it?"

"My son wants to find out the mastermind behind it?"

"Yes," Yuan Youqi nodded, "The news in the palace has been completely blocked by the child."

"It's so good, the Tian family has no reason to suffer this loss for nothing." Empress Dowager Wei said.

"Mr. Zhou, does your mother understand?" Yuan Youqi asked suddenly.

Empress Dowager Wei was slightly startled, and suddenly realized that this "Zhou family" was the beauty Zhou who helped the emperor bring down Tan Shaoer and Wu Linlang.

"The Ai family only heard from the emperor, but they don't know much about this person," said Empress Dowager Wei, "Can her poison be cured?"

"Lian Xiang has already used the medicine, and she is getting better." Yuan Youqi replied.

Empress Dowager Wei pondered for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Actually, to deal with someone like Tan, even though the emperor trusts her, she doesn't need to take such a big effort. It's not a joke to test the poison yourself!"

"That's why the boy wondered what she was thinking."

Yuan Youqi recalled Zhou Leshi's behavior and words of Zhou Leshi's extremely personal maid that he saw and heard in Qixiang Palace that day, and felt even more suspicious: "My child thinks that she is not ordinary."

When Queen Mother Wei heard this, she became nervous: "Could it be that she still has some evil intentions!"

"Mother, don't panic!" Yuan Youqi hurriedly said, "My child thinks, she has no intention of harming me. It is very possible that she has other plans."

"Picture what?"

"I don't know what the specific picture is. The child will figure it out, and the queen mother can rest assured." Yuan Youqi said.

However, in her heart, she added another sentence: This person is unpredictable, I'm afraid she needs to be more prepared.

After all, the child has grown up early, and the Empress Dowager Wei felt that there was no need to remind Yuan Youqi all the time as she did when she was a child.In this world, after all, the emperor is in charge.

Empress Dowager Wei was relieved a little, seeing Yuan Youqi intending to plead guilty and leave, she hurriedly said: "The matter is over, and the noble concubine is considered to be able to assist, Jingning Palace..."

It's time for Jingning Palace to lift the ban, right?These are her unfinished words.

Yuan Youqi understands that the queen mother has always favored her, and the one who is most suitable to be by her side and who is also loyal is Fengrou.

If the queen mother knew about Tang Yi and Fengrou, how would she feel?

Yuan Youqi shook his head secretly, it's better not to say such things to the queen mother.

The queen mother is old, and she should be enshrined in the world and spend her days in the Shoukang Palace. If she knew about Tang Yi and Feng Rou, wouldn't she be pissed off?

"The matter of the Jingning Palace, the child will handle it properly, and the queen mother does not have to worry about it." Yuan Youqi replied with an apologetic smile.

Jingning Palace!She even refused to mention the word "imperial concubine"!

Empress Dowager Wei rushed forward in a fit of rage, and blurted out: "No matter how bad the imperial concubine is, she is much better than those women outside who don't know what to say!"

Yuan Youqi was startled when he heard this.

Empress Dowager Wei regretted what she said.

She watched Yuan Youqi's complexion suddenly changed, and the defensiveness in her eyes seemed to have returned to the two years when Gu Heng had just left.

Empress Dowager Wei's heart ached, she just wanted to take back all the words she had just said.

Yuan Youqi suddenly smiled, although the smile was quite forced.

"The queen mother is worrying too much," she tried hard to raise the corners of her lips, "I will take care of my child's affairs by myself."

"You... Ai's family is getting old, and your spirit is not good enough, the emperor can take care of it!" Queen Mother Wei finally took half a step back.

She was afraid that the mother-daughter relationship that had finally been harmonious would be separated again.

"Yes! Save it, baby!" Yuan Youqi said calmly.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, Yuan Youqi looked up at the blue sky above his head and sighed humorously.

It is not surprising that the queen mother knew the existence of Mochi, and Yuan Youqi had no intention of concealing it.

But what about the future?

Will the queen mother accept a "criminal queen" from a lowly background into the palace, and even become the queen of Wei?

What would happen if the mother knew that Mochi was the reincarnation of Gu Heng?

The most rare thing in the world is love, the love between two parties is love, and the love between mother and daughter is also love.Yuan Youqi has already passed the impulsive age, love and family affection, she doesn't want to give up on any of them.
