After bathing, he wrung out his hair with a cotton cloth and let him lie on the bed to dry.I sat on the edge of the bed and combed him with the comb. Before I finished combing, he fell asleep.

He is exhausted physically and mentally.

I also went to wash and change my clothes, and when I came back, I watched over him, dabbing the water on his hair with a cloth, and thinking about something on my mind.

Judging by Heidan's appearance, the queen probably told him the situation before the emperor's death.

But if it's just these things, he shouldn't be so tired that he can't even speak when he sees me.

"Ruowei...as long as I'm here, no one can bully you." He suddenly heard him say.

Just as I was about to answer, he snored softly and his breathing became even again.

I took a closer look and was still asleep—it turned out to be a dream.

I can't help but feel emotional.

After touching his hair, it was already dry, so he blew out the lamp, climbed into bed and nestled next to him.

After so many days of worrying and worrying, I am also exhausted.Smelling the familiar scent on his body made me feel much more at ease.

There may be some ups and downs waiting for us in the unknown, but I believe that two people will be able to overcome everything hand in hand.

A deep dream.

In the early hours of the morning, when he heard movement beside him, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Heidan got up to get out of bed.

"Where are you going?" My voice was still muffled.

"Woke you up?" He turned around, bowed his head and kissed me: "Sleep a little longer, I'm not going anywhere."

"Then you can lie down with me." I said.He was tired for days, so he should rest more, even if he didn't sleep, it would be better to lie down more.

"Okay." He lay back as he said, and gently fanned me, as if trying to coax me to sleep.

Seeing that he was still reluctant to talk about the business, I couldn't help but said: "Mr. Hu said in the letter that you were sick..." Although he didn't look sick, I was still worried.

Before I finished speaking, he unexpectedly asked me in a low voice: "Ruowei, tell me the truth, did mother design to kill father?"

I was shocked and said: "How could it be? I watched Dad snatch the wine offered to Mother by the concubine and drink it. Could Mother expect Dad to be so impulsive?"

Heidan said: "Mother first said to me that 'a fire at the gate of the city will affect the fish in the pond', but the more I came back, the more I thought about it, it was too coincidental, as if telling me not to leave Beijing too far was just for my father's death. "So he told me what happened on the road after he left the capital, including what Hu Shanxiang said to him, his follow-up arrangements, and what he saw and heard along the way.

He really didn't go to Nanjing at all.

I was speechless for a while, Heidan thought I was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I contacted you directly. The movement was too loud, and I was afraid of being watched by Jin Yiwei. I didn't expect that the mother would cover you from beginning to end. In the drum..."

"I understand, and I'm not angry with you." I said, "My mother's original plan was to use the method used in the case of Concubine Quan to kill only Concubine Guo. This method is absolutely sure, and I don't think she should use other methods. As long as After killing Concubine Guo, Zhan, Zhan, and Zhan are completely disqualified from taking over the heir apparent. Why would the queen mother take such a big risk to kill the king? Even if she fails to kill Concubine Guo, it is not a crime to die, but if she tries to kill the king , That is to uproot our whole family..." Even if the relationship between the empress and the empress was not considered, the empress had no reason to attack the emperor directly.

Heitan remained silent for a while, before sighing: "That's true."

I asked: "You didn't even have the strength to speak all night last night, just for this?"

Heidan said: "It's more than that. If it's just this matter, it would be good if I told you. It's really...a lot of things piled up together, and each one makes people feel chilling. Obviously, in the summer, it's very cold. ...If you weren't with me, I would be very lonely."

"Don't be alone." I raised my hand to reach the hand he was fanning me, and held it tightly.

Heidan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "I know."

However, that smile only stayed for a short moment, and then faded away like an ebbing tide.

He refused to say anything.

I am willing to wait for him until he wants to speak.But I don't want him to keep his worries in his heart and feel uncomfortable by himself.

"What did the queen mother say about me?" I asked again.

"Ah."

"If it's for status or something, people's hearts are fluttering at this juncture, and the King of Han is staring at your mistakes, I think..."

"If it's purely for status, it's nothing more than what we discussed earlier, and we can do it flexibly. I won't be depressed. The queen mother..."

I smiled and said, "What else could it be? At worst, can she kill me? If she wanted to kill, she would have been poisoned to death with a glass of wine. Why wait for you to come back? As long as I can't die, as long as we are a family of five Yuanyuan, what am I afraid of next to me?"

Unexpectedly, Heidan hurriedly said: "The queen mother said that it is fine to make you the queen, but you must first write a decree. If I come...you must be buried with me."

I was dumbfounded.

Not only for her trying to arrange my ending, but also——

A mother, a woman who had just lost her husband, was able to speak to her young son about what happened after his death.

I was speechless for a moment.

Heidan said: "Using Xiaowu to supervise the country, although I feel uncomfortable, she has no choice but to do so. This is also the most sensible and safe decision for our family. I don't blame her. But she forced me to do this." What does she think of me for you?"

There has never been a rule for the queen to be buried in this dynasty.

Although my mother-in-law is dissatisfied with me, I believe that she deliberately made this move not out of personal grievances, but out of public interest.

She thinks from the bottom of her heart that although I will not do anything that is not good for Heidan, once I have the opportunity to control the world alone, I will hold the Great Ming Dynasty in the palm of my hand.

Presumably Heidan handed over the young army to me earlier, which made the queen fearful.

Or, I helped her review the memorials in those days, making her feel that I have the ability to meddle in politics in the harem.

Sacrifice.

Heidan and I have never discussed this issue.
