In the middle of the night on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yin and the others were sleeping soundly, and suddenly there was an announcement that the queen mother had committed suicide. After hearing this, Qin Yin sat up suddenly, got out of bed quickly, and asked, "Dead?"

"Go back to the emperor, no, she was discovered by the maid and eunuch and rescued."

Lin Quyang also got up, and said anxiously, "Have you asked the imperial physician yet?"

"Mrs. Hui...no."

Lin Quyang frowned, Qin Yin also frowned, and said, "Go ask the imperial physician."

"Hurry up!" Lin Quyang said eagerly: "Please invite all the doctors from the Tai Hospital! Hurry up!"

The little eunuch said "yes" and hurriedly left.

"Come here, change clothes." Qin Yin ordered.

Two young eunuchs stepped forward to help them get dressed, Lin Quyang waved his hands, "I'll do it myself." Then he put on his clothes.

Qin Yin looked at his flustered look, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "You're wearing it the wrong way."

Lin Quyang took a closer look, leaned on him, and said, "This dress is really... Hurry up, help me put it on."

On the way to Changle Palace, Qin Yin frowned, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face.

Lin Quyang glanced at him and asked, "Do you want the Queen Mother to die?"

Qin Yin's expression froze, and he slightly pursed the corners of his lips, his voice was very calm: "I don't know."

Lin Quyang frowned and said nothing.

The sedan chair stopped quickly, and the two walked down one after the other, and entered the gate of Changle Palace one after the other.

The imperial physicians were already making diagnosis and treatment. Lin Quyang asked some questions about the situation, and he was relieved after confirming that there was nothing serious. Since he stepped into the gate of Changle Palace, Qin Yin has been silent all the time, just watching quietly. The haggard old woman on the sickbed, the white hair on the temples, and the clearly visible strangle marks on the neck touched people's hearts.

At a certain moment, Qin Yin turned his head away, sighed secretly, and said softly: "You guys are so good at serving me." After speaking, she turned her head to look at Lin Quyang: "Xiaoer, let's go back to the palace."

Lin Quyang wanted to open his mouth to say something, but in the end he just nodded.

On the way back, Qin Yin pursed her lips lightly, but still said nothing.At this moment, he suddenly remembered some things, thinking of his concubine mother, concubine mother's voice and smile, concubine mother's death...remembering the time when he first entered the palace, remembering that the queen mother beat him and scolded him, but it is undeniable that she also taught I have a lot of things, and sometimes I can't learn well, and she will reprimand herself like other mothers, and she doesn't forget to supervise herself to study hard.

He also remembered that the day the late emperor fell off his horse and died, he clearly remembered that the appearance of the Empress Dowager was exactly the same as now, she was so haggard and dismembered, she had no love in her life, as if she had aged and withered overnight.

Perhaps, what this woman really wants is not power, but children and grandchildren around her knees, safe and sound, but she has no choice but to seek peace in her life, but it is rare to find peace.Actually, who is to blame?

Vent all your bitterness and resentment on others, and always think that the unsatisfactory life is brought by others.But I don't want to, some are God's will, but some are made by man.

After returning to the palace, it was already Yin time, Qin Yin didn't want to sleep anymore, so he let Lin Quyang sleep, he thought about going to read the book, and then go to the morning court.

Lin Quyang was still asleep, he sat there hesitating for a moment, and when Qin Yin got up to go out of the inner room, he called him.

Qin Yin asked: "Yanger, what's the matter?"

Lin Quyang blinked his eyes: "Well... the queen mother is like this, should you take Qin Ao's child back?" Coughed and coughed: "As a grandma, after meeting her grandson, maybe she doesn't want to seek death so much. .”

Qin Yin said quietly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's still early, so I'll sleep later." After speaking, she left the inner room.

Lin Quyang frowned and sighed.

……

After the morning court, Qin Yin went directly to Changle Palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he raised his eyes and glanced at the three big characters "Changle Palace" on the door plaque. Changle, long-term happiness, he thought, probably the ancestors named it At that time, I just hoped that the women who lived in this palace could be contented and happy forever. Unfortunately, after entering this deep palace, facing the high and low positions of wealth, power and power, not to mention men, even women have lost the moral character that women should have.

My mother and concubine are like this... so is Empress Dowager Zhang...

Just thinking about it, a servant stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's cold, so it's not suitable to stand for a long time."

Qin Yin nodded, and walked into the gate of Changle Palace. Before entering the inner room, she heard crying, followed by cursing.

Naturally, there was no need to guess who was the one to scold. Qin Yin stood at the door of the inner room and listened quietly to the Empress Dowager Zhang swearing and insulting herself.

All the eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down and bowed their heads, covering their ears and not listening.

Xu was tired of scolding, and Qin Yin walked in after Queen Mother Zhang stopped talking, looked at the medicine bowl dropped on the ground, and asked calmly: "Did the Queen Mother take any medicine?"

"Return to the emperor, no." A little maid replied.

Hearing this, Qin Yin frowned, walked to the bedside, and sat on the bedside. When Zhang saw him for the first time, she was even more furious. She stood up in grief and anger, and Qin Yin was greeted with a slap.

Mrs. Zhang asked tremblingly, "Give me back Ao'er! Give back Ao'er!"

Qin Yin raised his hand and lightly touched the slapped cheek, looked at the crazy Zhang Shi little by little, and said, "This is the last time I will allow you to hit me." His voice was calm and there was no trace of emotion in it. : "Ao'er is fine, you don't need to worry about it."

This slap seemed to have taken away all of Zhang's strength, she fell on the bed, her chest heaved violently, but she still screamed with all her might: "Give me back Ao'er! Give me back Ao'er! You bastard!" ! You give me back my child..."

Qin Yin didn't look at her again, but just twirled the jade wrench in the other hand with one hand, and said unhurriedly: "How you treated me kindly back then, and how I treat Ao'er now, mother, you Don't worry, I have clear grievances and grievances, and I will never put my grievances on a child. You should take good care of yourself in this palace, and when you recover, I will let Ao'er come to see you. Look at your current appearance , if Ao'er sees it, she won't cry."

Mrs. Zhang would not believe him, and said in a trembling voice: "You bastard, what did you do to Ao'er? Tell me, did you kill my Ao'er? Tell me! Tell me!"

Qin Yin didn't raise his eyelids, and said quietly: "Mother, you know that Erchen and Ao'er are quite close, how could you harm him?"

"You say you can't, but who knows that you won't hurt in the dark?" Zhang wailed, "I, Ao'er, is only eight years old. You, the son of a lowly maidservant, want to take revenge on me. Why can't you do it?"

Qin Yin ignored her, stood up and wanted to leave.

Zhang's old man burst into tears: "Qin Yin! If you really lay a poisonous hand on Ao'er, I swear, even a ghost will never let you go!"

Qin Yin paused, and said coldly: "It's not you." After speaking, he left.

These words made Zhang Shi stunned in place, and his body froze.

The maids and eunuchs got up to tidy up, put charcoal into the brazier, everyone was busy with their own work, only Mrs. Zhang was lying there, looking at the top of the bed, tears streaming down her face, as if something was blocked in her throat I can't cry, I can't cry.

No court ladies and eunuchs came forward to inquire, no one even came forward to tuck her quilt, they were just busy with their own business.Mrs. Zhang suddenly remembered many things that she almost forgot in the past. She remembered the time when she first entered the palace, remembered the first meeting with the emperor, remembered giving birth to her son, remembered her son falling to his death from a horse, and remembered Ao'er in swaddling clothes. Thinking of my grandma accompanying Ao'er all the way to the present...

She also remembered how she was jealous of that woman, how she vented all her resentment towards that woman on that man named Qin Ao...

After so many years of careful planning, it has come to an end now.Is it because the sky is not going his way, or is it just how he ended up?

She doesn't know.

All she knew was that she didn't want to bear the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, and she didn't want to bear it anymore.

Qin Yin can be regarded as being brought up by himself, so he really wouldn't do harm to Ao'er.She took out the soldier talisman under the pillow, touched the cold soldier talisman, and smiled wryly. Now, whether there is this thing or not, it probably has no meaning.

Mrs. Zhang threw the soldier talisman on the ground, and then lay there exhausted, crying silently.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yin ordered someone to bring Qin Ao back to the palace, took him to visit Mrs Zhang, and asked him to accompany Mrs Zhang to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Because of Qin Ao's arrival, Zhang's illness improved a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Ao was playing with Lin Quyang, and when he was laughing happily, he disturbed them with a cry.

A young eunuch called eagerly: "The Empress Dowager is dead."

Lin Quyang didn't know how he and Qin Ao arrived at Changle Palace. Facing such news, he felt distressed when he saw the sad Qin Ao.

The empress dowager's funeral was very dignified. On the day of the funeral, no one in the imperial city cried except for Qin Ao.

After the funeral, Qin Ao was sent back to Wanshan Temple. When he left, Lin Quyang didn't go to see him off, because he didn't want to part with that kid, and he didn't want to see him cry.

Ever since Qin Ao left, Lin Quyang always felt that there was less anger in the palace, Qin Yin joked: "Then I should work harder and strive to hold the two for three years, and it will be lively when I have a child."

Lin Quyang smiled: "No, after this little thing is born, I have to wait at least one or two years before talking about the second child."

Qin Yin didn't refute, but just lightly placed her hand on Lin Quyang's lower abdomen.

Lin Quyang sat beside him, quietly looking at the man in front of him who was so gentle to him, he was suddenly a little afraid of him.

It's not that he was afraid, but he was a little shocked, especially when he knew that the bowl of medicine that Queen Mother Zhang died was fed by Qin Yin himself. ruthless.

However, he didn't want to ask and think too much, as long as this person treated him as well as before, he would respond wholeheartedly.
