What Hua Qianning thought before Jiyue was right, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to, but I can't violate the emperor's order." She didn't like Hua Qianning very much, but she didn't want her to die.

Hua Qianning: Then I will violate it.

"What do you mean?" Jiyue didn't understand, Hua Qianning reached out to snatch the token around her waist, which was issued to Shuangyue by the emperor, so that they could freely enter and leave the palace.Jiyue leaned to hide, Hua Qianning only touched the tassel of a pendant, she grabbed it, and it was in her hand, a mahogany talisman.Ah~ Mahogany talisman, so familiar, she has seen this mahogany talisman before, after Hua Qianning saw the characters on the front, she turned to look at the characters from the Western Regions on the back, and her head started to hurt violently as a memory hit the gate.The memory is like an hourglass leaking down little by little. She has studied the script of the Western Regions, and the left side means: only for my own use.The right side, the one on the right side is the key, but Hua Qianning couldn't remember it, and squatted down clutching her temple that was almost torn apart.After a while, the pain passed. Hua Qianning's face was pale, and she wrote tremblingly on the paper: There may be a problem with the mahogany talisman, please stop wearing it.

From the beginning to the end, Jiyue kept looking at Hua Qianning, and she could tell that what Hua Qianning said seemed to be true, her ears and temples were drenched with pain, but she couldn't make a sound.Looking carefully at Hua Qianning's reaction, there is indeed something abnormal, her eyes are not as clear and energetic as before, and now they are often empty and absent-minded, "Miss Qianning, are you sick? Or, I will send the imperial physician." Jiyue said kindly.

Hua Qianning wiped the sweat from her forehead, she couldn't stand anymore, so she sat down and wrote: No.There is no cure for her illness. Hua Qianning vaguely remembered that she was suffering a long time ago, but the cause could not be found. Someone was manipulating her and wanted to use her hand to accomplish something.As for what it was, it was definitely not a good thing, maybe it was killing Gongsun Mengwei, maybe it was usurping the throne, maybe it was... too many possibilities, she would only become Gongsun Mengwei's weakness when she was by Gongsun Mengwei's side.

"But you seem to be really uncomfortable." Jiyue felt a little distressed, "You are fine, why are you like this all of a sudden?"

Hua Qianning: Jiyue, let me go, I leave the palace, stay away from the emperor, it is good for everyone.

Hua Qianning remembered that everyone didn't like her, only the emperor's wife liked her, and it was impossible for them, now Hua Qianning didn't think so much anymore.Jiyue was silent for a long time this time, she had no reason to reject Hua Qianning, she couldn't convince herself anymore, indeed, letting Hua Qianning go is the best choice, but will the emperor kill her? she?Yes, I will.

The two fell silent. Hua Qianning knew that Jiyue was thinking, so she waited.Jiyue's head is also a little dizzy. It seems that there are too many things to think about recently. He is playing with the mahogany talisman in his hand. He wants to think deeply, but he can't think. A thought is slowly rising. Otherwise, killing Hua Qianning, killing her, is the safest way.No, no, Jiyue shook her head there, she couldn't kill Hua Qianning, the emperor would definitely kill her, then let her go, let her go, let her go... There seems to be someone in my heart who is helping to give orders .Jiyue was a little upset, "Miss Qianning, I'll go back and think about it first." After finishing speaking, Jiyue left without looking back, and Hua Qianning lay weakly on the table, with no strength left.

At midnight, Jiyue's vigorous figure suddenly appeared at the gate of Weiqing Palace, "Hua Qianning, don't you want to leave?" Hua Qianning, who was still drowsy, suddenly sat up when she heard the provocative voice, Jiyue raised the token in her hand, shook it, and smiled, "Here is the token, come and get it."

Hua Qianning: Then what do you do?

"You knock me out and tie me up." Jiyue handed over her weapon, "Hold the handle and hit me here." Jiyue pointed to the acupuncture point on the neck, "Hit me hard here, I will faint .” Hua Qianning struggled to hold the knife with both hands, but someone in her heart was urging her to knock it down.Hua Qianning really did that, and Jiyue's body suddenly went limp. Hua Qianning almost exhausted all her strength to tie Jiyue up with a thick hemp rope. Hua Qianning stared at the talisman for a while, then grabbed the mahogany talisman and kicked it on her body.Fearing that Jiyue would be hurt, Hua Qianning wrote a letter before leaving: Gongsun Mengwei, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and now I can finally leave. I want to tell you the truth from the bottom of my heart, I hate you!Hate you for ruining everything for me!It is my greatest kindness not to kill you.I only hope that you can be diligent in government and love the people, and be a good empress, so that you will be worthy of the souls who died during the war between the two countries.As for you and me, I hope that we will never see each other again in this life. If we meet again in the future, either you will die or I will die.

Hua Qianning simply packed her things, looked at the dragon couch where she had been lying on for several days and nights, and suddenly burst into tears, Gongsun Mengwei, I'm sorry.I don't know why I want to apologize to you, but I still want to say, I'm sorry, I'm leaving.The last ray of light in my heart suddenly disappeared, goodbye, Mengwei, goodbye, sister-in-law, I finally understand a truth, in this world, no one can rely on for a lifetime, only oneself.Hua Qianning suppressed the hatred that surged up and down in her heart, took the token, and left the palace smoothly all the way.

Before Gongsun Meng arrived at Rongguo Temple, it was almost midnight, and Empress Dowager Xiao had already woken up and was resting in the dormitory, frowning, "What is the emperor doing here?" Her voice was much hoarse than before.

"Mother's queen!" Gongsun Mengwei showed a daughter's attitude rarely, and said in shock: "Mother's queen is really going to scare my son to death."

"The Ai family is fine." Empress Dowager Xiao's tone eased, "Su'er is here, so what can happen to the Ai family."

"Why did Queen Mother's voice change a bit? Did you catch a cold?" Gongsun Mengwei asked with concern, and Queen Mother Xiao coughed a few times, "I've been tossing all the way."

Gongsun Mengwei turned around and glanced at Tu Su, Tu Su was winking at her, stared at her and shook his head, Gongsun Mengwei didn't say much, and didn't let the imperial physician in first, "Er Chen and Su Er have something to say."

Tu Su stood up, followed Gongsun Mengwei out, and lowered his voice, "It's gone wrong, the queen mother suddenly fainted earlier, it scared me to death."

"..." Gongsun Meng didn't touch Tu Su's forehead, and Tu Su patted her hand dissatisfied, "I'm not sick." Tu Su leaned over his ear and whispered, "I really passed out, but it was only less than half an hour. Waking up again, looking normal, just can't remember what happened before."

"Have you been by my side all the time?" Gongsun Mengwei began to notice, something seemed wrong, Tu Su shook his head, "I asked Nanny Gui to keep watch, and I went out for a while, and there was nothing unusual."

"But Nanny Gui wasn't in the dormitory just now."

"The Empress Dowager said that she asked Nanny Gui to serve tea."

No, something is still wrong, "Where is Master Huineng?" Gongsun Mengwei asked.

"Didn't the emperor see him just now? It's at the door of the dormitory." Tu Su didn't take it seriously, "Is there something wrong with Master Huineng?" As if thinking of something, "It was the Empress Dowager who suddenly passed out while talking with Master Huineng."

"So, Master Huineng was the first to discover it?"

"Your Majesty..." Tu Su wanted to say, aren't you talking nonsense?But she didn't dare to say that, "That's what I meant. I didn't know until Master Huineng called the Empress Dowager to faint."

Gongsun Mengwei always felt that something was wrong, and went in to check again. Empress Dowager Xiao was half lying down, and Nanny Gui was waiting beside her.Gongsun Meng didn't come close, "Mother, are you really all right?"

"Well, don't worry, Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Xiao closed her eyes, seeming very tired.Gongsun Mengwei insisted, "Emperor Hu has already come with Erchen, let her show to the queen mother, so Erchen can rest assured."

"It's up to you." Empress Dowager Xiao said lightly, and Imperial Physician Hu checked and said that it was indeed all right.Weird, since nothing happened, Gongsun Meng didn't decide to set off overnight to return to Weiqing Palace, and Empress Dowager Xiao didn't stop her, she just said, "Your Majesty, be careful on the road."

"Su'er, you are here, don't let the queen mother out of your sight again," Gongsun Mengwei said in a low voice, and Tu Su rolled his eyes weakly, "But the queen mother wants to talk to Master Huineng, and I can't keep poking at her that is not……"

"Don't compete with me, you understand what I mean." Gongsun Mengwei poked Tu Su's small forehead lightly, "Also, why did the queen mother suddenly live in the squatter room here?"

"What do you mean? The emperor said that the empress dowager didn't live here?" Tu Su raised his eyebrows, but Gongsun Mengwei pointed in the opposite direction, "Before, she always lived there."

"I don't know either. When the Empress Dowager comes over, Master Huineng will arrange it directly here." Tu Su thought that the guest did what he wanted, and when he saw the Empress Dowager, he didn't say much, and she didn't say much.After much deliberation, Gongsun Mengwei was still worried, so he called Huineng and asked him why Empress Dowager Xiao's residence had suddenly changed.

"Reporting to the emperor, the Xiliao house is old and a bit dilapidated. There was a cold wind the other day, and the roof was broken. The weather is very cold. It really can't be repaired. We have to wait until next spring." Huineng replied with a bow. I haven't seen him for a long time, but Master Huineng is much older. Gongsun Mengwei has always thought that a monk who cultivates his mind and nature, and eats a vegetarian diet every day, shouldn't age so fast, unless...unless Master Huineng has too many miscellaneous things on his mind.

"Protect Empress Dowager Xiao well, otherwise, I will only ask you." It seemed that everything was reasonable, but it was the most unreasonable, Gongsun Mengwei was inexplicably anxious.Speeding up the horse and returning to Weiqing Palace, Gongsun Mengwei was stunned on the spot when he saw Jiyue tied up on the ground.Jiyue's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, Gongsun Meng didn't grab it out, and said angrily: "What's going on!" Intuitively, Gongsun Meng didn't feel that something happened.The anxiety in my heart reached a peak.

It turned out that there were worse things waiting for her, and Gongsun Mengwei felt chills in his heart.
