The queen mother is

It was already dusk when we arrived at the Tingzhu Pavilion, the palace people in the imperial dining room were in a hurry to deliver food to the palaces, and the small kitchens in the harem were also lit up with cooking smoke, only the outside of the Tingzhu Pavilion was deserted, even The dead bamboo leaves outside the palace wall were scattered all over the place, and no one cleaned them up.

When Concubine Shu was in its prime, there were a lot of guests and concubines.When he was defeated, he ended up in a miserable end.

Dusk is like late autumn, which makes people worry.

Wen Yining looked at the closed palace door with some sadness, and only asked Ruyi to knock on the door.

Ruyi went, Wei Fengguo naturally extended his arm to him.Wen Yining hesitated for a while, but when he looked up, he saw Wei Fengguo's deep eyes, and finally put his hand on Wei Fengguo's forearm, and walked out of the sedan chair.

"Eunuch Wei, send it to..." Wen Yining said, and after he stood firmly, he withdrew his hand from Wei Fengguo's.

"Your Majesty, we are leaving now. There is still something to do in the surveillance hall," Wei Fengguo interrupted Wen Yining, and glanced at the withered and yellow bamboo forest in the Tingzhu Pavilion, "Your Majesty, be careful."

Saying that, he turned his head and left without hesitation.

Wen Yining stared at Wei Fengguo's leaving back, tilted his head and was a little puzzled - for these ten years in the harem, he had to deal with those women who fought for the emperor, and he had to keep an eye on those restless courtiers in the previous court .

No matter how stupid a person is, he knows how to read words and expressions, and guess people's hearts.But this Wei Fengguo always made him puzzled and confused.

"Master, shall we go in?" Ruyi's voice came, and Wen Yining came back to his senses.

With Ruyi and Ping An, they stepped into the small courtyard of Tingzhu Pavilion, but they didn't notice that it wasn't long after they entered.Wei Fengguo, who had already left, turned back and brought the little eunuch beside him to the courtyard of Tingzhu Pavilion.

Wei Fengguo briefly explained a word or two to the bearer, and lied that he forgot to tell the empress about something, so he blatantly entered the listening bamboo hall.

But Wen Yining didn't know anything about it.

Wei Fengguo took the child to the window of the main hall of the Tingzhu Pavilion, not too close or too far away from Wen Yining and the others - Pingan knows martial arts, if you get too close, you will be discovered.

The two people, one big and one small, squatted down and made a gesture to listen to the wall.

"Shu Yao..."

Wen Yining in the hall naturally didn't know that Wei Fengguo was still there, looking at Concubine Shu who was sitting at the table looking haggard, pale, but with sickly red cheeks, all the words she said turned into her boudoir name.

"Heh..." Concubine Shu raised her head and glanced at Wen Yining with raised eyebrows, "I haven't seen you in four years, brother, you are still very handsome."

"..." Wen Yining closed his eyes in pain after listening to this irony, sighed, and didn't reply.

"sit."

Concubine Shu snorted disdainfully, her eyebrows were three or four points similar to Wen Yining's, and now probably because of her long stay in the cold palace, she was more indifferent and alienated.

Taifu Wen is dedicated and only marries Mrs. Wen as his wife in his life.My wife likes "Poetry", so the names of the two children born by their husband and wife are all from poetry.

There is a saying in "Chen Feng. Moonrise": "Smooth and carefree, laborious and quiet."Concubine Shu's title "Shu" is also named after this.

Wen Yining married into the Prince's Mansion at the age of 15, and Teng Cong was married to Wen Shuyao, who was only 13 years old at the time.Wen Yining still remembers the innocent little Shu Yao, who bounced over and pulled his sleeve and said "Brother, don't be sad, I will always be with you from now on".

Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, no matter how close brothers and sisters are, how can there be no conflicts if they serve a husband together?

What's more, they were not born in ordinary official families and married to ordinary royal relatives.The relatives of the emperor always have more helplessness.

"I heard that the West Zodiac Palace is haunted by ghosts," Wen Yining took a deep breath and said, "I'm a little worried about you, so I'll come and see, are you - are you okay?"

"Okay! Why is it bad?! I am forbidden to listen to the bamboo hall, not to be seen unless ordered, and not allowed to be served by others. My sister can have today, isn't it all because of your elder brother's cultivation? Since my elder brother promised my parents to take good care of me, the only younger sister, How could you easily live up to the trust of the elders?"

"Brother has always been smart, don't you know if my sister is doing well? Since you are willing to help that bitch Concubine Jing to harm me, why would you have the face to ask me if I am doing well?"

"The concubine is very good, don't bother me, the queen, you come to visit me in the cold palace! Haunted? Heh heh heh heh—what ghost am I, Wen Shuyao, afraid of? Even if there is a ghost, it will be the ghost after my tragic death, Wen Shuyao! Just look at this lowly maidservant of Hegong! Who dares to fight with me?!"

When Wen Shuyao mentioned the excitement, she stood up and laughed wildly.

But every word and every word she uttered deeply pierced Wen Yining's heart.He had explained to her many times about Concubine Jing, but Wen Shuyao didn't listen to it after all.

"Presumptuous! Concubine Shu, you are already a concubine in the cold palace, how dare you talk nonsense in front of the master! If the master didn't save you for the sake of your brother and sister, do you think you can still sit here and criticize me?" Master?! Why are you so heartless?! Do you know that master is for you, for you..."

"Snapped--"

Ruyi's loud reprimand was interrupted by Concubine Shu's unceremonious slap across the face. Concubine Shu pointed at Ruyi's nose and smiled contemptuously, "What are you? Concubine, you little chief eunuch, what qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Pulling Ruyi into his arms, Pingan gave Wen Shuyao a hard look.

Wen Yining looked at Ping'an apologetically, and said, "Ping'an, take Ruyi to get the medicine first."

"But..." Ping An looked at Wen Shuyao with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Wen Yining knew that he was worried about his own safety:

"Go ahead, don't worry about me."

Only then did Ping An pull Ruyi away, Ruyi had never been beaten like this before, her face was swollen like a peach, but when she was about to go out, she still couldn't bear it, turned her head and stared at Wen Shuyao fiercely and shouted:

"I'm really not worth it for the master!! When the second prince died, the master shouldn't have knelt in the Mingguang Palace for three days and two nights for a wolf-hearted thing like you. The master saved your life, but you didn't know how to repent! You really should let me His Majesty cut you to pieces!"

Ping An's complexion changed, and he hurriedly pulled Ruyi away, because his attention was all on Ruyi, and Ping An didn't notice the two men in boa robes, big and small, under the window at the bottom of the wall.

"Hahahahahahahaha——" Wen Shuyao raised her head and laughed nonchalantly after hearing Ruyi's words, "Who needs you to meddle in your own business to save me?!"

As he said that, he pointed directly at Wen Yining and said loudly:

"Brother, do you think I will be grateful to you if you saved me?! Do you know why I pushed Ling Tongzhou off the Fallen Star Terrace?! Do you know why I lured the imperial concubine to the beast garden?! Do you think Did I really not know that the imperial concubine was pregnant at that time?! Do you think I really made a mistake?!"

"Tell you! I am all! It's all! Deliberately!"

Wen Yining's face turned pale in an instant, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

"Do you know why I did this on purpose?" Wen Shuyao seemed satisfied to see him stunned, proudly looking up at the gradually darkening sky outside.

"……why?"

"Because the emperor gradually doesn't like me that much. Since he fell in love with that bitch Xu, I will kill his favorite in his life! Since he prefers Xu's son Ling Tongzhou, I will kill that child! Anyone he loves so much , I will destroy everything one by one! Only in this way, he will always put me in his heart!"

"Shu Yao, you're crazy..."

"I'm not crazy! What do you know?! The ultimate pain is the ultimate love! If he wants to kill me, he will kill me! Anyway, Xu Shi and Ling Tongzhou will not come back to life. He made me live in pain without love. I want him to always remember me and the pain I gave him!"

Wen Yining never thought that Wen Shuyao's love for the emperor would be so crazy and paranoid. He frowned and looked at Wen Shuyao. He kept asking himself whether it was wrong to agree to his parents and let his sister be his Tengren. .

Today, the answer no longer matters.

"Originally, I thought about everything very well! But brother, you insist on coming out! You insist on letting the emperor spare my life! You let me live like this! Look at what I have become?!" Wen Shu Yao suddenly turned her head ferociously and stared at him fiercely.

"Confinement in the cold palace, life is worse than death! Why don't you let me die?! Anyway, I killed the love of his life, and he will remember me forever! Who wants you to meddle in my own business?!"

Wen Yining was silent, but at this moment, a sentence came from nowhere:

"Stupid woman."

"Who?!" Wen Shuyao yelled, and immediately walked to the window and pushed it open, "Who's there!"

Wen Yining also looked over strangely, but there was no one outside the window.

It was already night, and the outside of the cold palace was cold and clear. The wind that hadn't completely cooled down at night in summer became the only warmth in the Tingzhu Pavilion.

"Who is playing tricks there?!" Wen Shuyao asked again in a sharp voice. Although his face was fierce, Wen Yining saw that Wen Shuyao's fingers had tightly grasped her own neckline.

The West Zodiac is haunted.

Although Wen Yining didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods in his heart, the words said by the chief eunuch of the performance office flashed in his mind.

"Whether you are a human or a ghost, even if you are that bitch of the Xu family, I am not afraid! Hahahahahaha——" Wen Shuyao pointed at the sky outside frantically and suddenly laughed, "What is the imperial concubine, what is the prince , I dare to kill even the emperor, not to mention you little fellows!"

After Wen Shuyao said this, Wen Yining couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up to the window and grabbed Wen Shuyao's wrist, tremblingly said:

"Shu, Shu Yao, you, what did you say?!"

"What are you talking about? The emperor?" Wen Shuyao shook off Wen Yining's hand nonchalantly, "Is the emperor dead?"

Wen Yining looked at Wen Shuyao in disbelief, and took a step back.

There was no news in the cold palace. The people serving Wen Shuyao had been killed by the emperor long ago. How did she know that the emperor had passed away.

"What's so strange, I hate him. Since he doesn't love me, why did he let me be his woman? Doesn't he know that I hate sharing a man with others the most in my life?" Wen Shuyao sat down indifferently, He actually looked at Wen Yining and laughed, "Brother, do you know? It turns out that killing a person is so simple. What kind of emperor is entrusted to the sky and blessed by gods. I think it's just coaxing the common people."

The more Wen Yining listened, the colder he felt, the various mistakes Wen Shuyao made in the past, he could numb himself and say that the little girl was ignorant.But now ten years have passed, and they are not children anymore.

Pushing the emperor's favorite second prince, Ling Tongzhou, off the falling star stage and falling to death, secretly replacing the wild dogs raised in the animal garden with wild wolves, almost killing the pregnant imperial concubine.

He can lie to himself once, using the excuse that his sister is still young, but he can't lie to him for a lifetime.

Wen Yining bit his lips in grief, and when he looked up at Wen Shuyao again, he could only hate her with indisputable anger:

"Shu Yao, you let me down so much."

"Humph—" Wen Shuyao sneered, noncommittal, she wanted to say something, but she suddenly closed her mouth, smiled coldly, and said meanly:

"I haven't seen you in four years. I didn't expect you to be so seductive, brother. Even a man can't let you go. Even if it's a remote and unlucky place like Tingzhu Pavilion, as long as you are there, I think even noble people will come."

Wen Yining was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he quickly turned around, but he didn't expect to see King Ning and Gu Shixin in moonlight at the door of the Bamboo Pavilion.

How much did he hear?

Although his face was pale and his heart was somewhat confused, Wen Yining still subconsciously kept Wen Shuyao behind him.

Gu Shixin raised the corner of her right mouth:

"Disappointed? Concubine Shu disappointed the emperor's sister-in-law? I don't think so. The emperor's wife did not disappoint me. Less than two days later, the emperor's wife has already found out the murderer of my emperor's brother."

He got it.

Wen Yining felt a "click" in his heart, only felt his eyes go dark, he swayed a bit, took a step back to support the table, and managed to stand still, not to mention whether what Shu Yao said was true, how could King Ning let anyone go? Chance to escape suspicion.

"Does the lord really believe my little sister's nonsense?" No matter what, Wen Yining bit his lip, determined to give it a go.

"Since Concubine Shu has already admitted it, why doesn't this king believe it?"

"Is it the emperor's sister-in-law who wants Empress Concubine Shu to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to detain a testimony? This can be regarded as a complete solution," Ning Wang nodded, "or the emperor's wife is thoughtful."

"Gu Shixin," Wen Yining interrupted impatiently, "You know that's not what I mean."

"Then, is the sister-in-law willing to make a deal with me?" King Ning was straightforward, and immediately folded his arms around his chest, showing a sly smile.

"What deal?"
