Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple

He just stood by and didn't move.

Xie Changying narrowed his eyes, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

The person outside the door didn't speak immediately, but after waiting for a while, they still said, "It's Aijia."

Queen Mother!

Li Luo, who was hiding behind the screen, was startled, he really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, they just mentioned the queen mother, it is not that the queen mother came unexpectedly.

Now that Xie Changying is locked up in the palace, no one can visit him logically, including the Queen Mother.

But the queen mother actually appeared here, and walked through the main entrance.

Xie Changying walked behind the screen and whispered to Li Luo, "Be quiet first."

"Don't worry." Li Luo nodded obediently.

Xie Changying then went to open the door, and when the door opened, she saw the Empress Dowager standing outside the door, and the Empress Dowager came in person in the middle of the night, with no palace people around her.

The Queen Mother was still wearing a cloak, as if she didn't want anyone to know she was coming or something.

Xie Changying opened the door, and the Empress Dowager glanced at the guards at the door, and said, "Ai's family wants to go in and talk to the prince, so you just pretend you didn't see anything, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The guards did not hesitate and agreed in unison.

Afterwards the Empress Dowager and Xie Changying entered the room, Xie Xiaoqi did not follow and closed the door outside.

Li Luo hid behind the screen, his eyes fluttered twice, and he thought that most of the guards outside were from the Empress Dowager, otherwise the Empress Dowager would not be able to come here in the middle of the night.In this way, the power of the Empress Dowager in the court cannot be underestimated.

The queen came in and took off her cloak and mantle.

Xie Changying said: "I don't know if the Empress Dowager came late at night, it's..."

"Of course it's because of your affairs!" The Empress Dowager said without waiting for Xie Changying to finish, "Tell Aijia, does the matter of Princess Li have anything to do with you?"

Xie Changying said calmly: "Of course it doesn't matter, I don't know the current whereabouts of Princess Li."

The queen mother nodded and said: "I know you don't want to marry Princess Li, but Aijia also knows what you are, so you will definitely not harm the little princess just because of this."

Indeed, Xie Changying was not a cold-blooded person, nor would he kill innocent people indiscriminately.

The queen mother sighed and said: "Now the emperor insists that this matter has nothing to do with you, and he will imprison you here! Before Ai's family came, he had met the emperor a few times, but..."

It seems that the Empress Dowager failed to persuade the Emperor, and the Emperor is determined to target Xie Changying this time, this is a golden opportunity.First imprison Xie Changying for a period of time, and then take the opportunity to say that they want to unite with the Li Kingdom to send troops to attack the Xue Kingdom. The war will not wait for anyone, so Xie Changying's military power will be removed from Xie Changying's hands and handed over to the emperor's confidantes. Come on, Xie Changying has nothing to fear.

The queen mother pondered for a while, and said: "Aijia asks you, if this time...the emperor is going to target you, how will you treat it?"

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager asked a tricky question, and Xie Changying squinted her eyes calmly.

In fact, Li Luo had already told Xie Changying earlier that he wanted him to turn his back on him and become emperor himself.Anyway, Xie Changying is also Da Xie's orthodox royal family, and it is justifiable for him to be emperor.

And Xie Changying had already agreed.

Now the queen mother asked Xie Changying later, although what she said was different from what Li Luo said, her meaning was actually similar to that of Li Luo, and she was also asking Xie Changying if he had the heart to become emperor.

But Xie Changying didn't give a good word this time, because the queen mother is not Li Luo after all, so to put it bluntly, Xie Changying doesn't trust the queen mother very much.

The queen mother was indeed very kind to Xie Changying, but the queen mother was also kind to the little prince, and the emperor wanted to win over the queen mother all the time. No matter which side the queen mother chose, she could firmly sit on the throne of the queen mother, and she might not necessarily stand in line with Xie Changying.

Xie Changying didn't speak, but the Queen Mother did, and said, "The Ai family ... watched your mother die tragically. We were such good friends, but... the Ai family dared not do anything. Many years have passed, Aijia can always think of what happened at that time, and regrets it more every day... You are her only child, and Aijia doesn't want to watch you have another accident. So..."

The queen mother paused, and said: "Even if the Ai family owes her, no matter what decision you make, the Ai family will help you."

Xie Changying frowned, to be honest, he didn't understand.About Xie Changying's mother, he knew too little. His mother passed away when he was a child, and he hardly had much memory. He also didn't know how his mother died. The palace people who took care of him never mentioned it.

But vaguely, Xie Changying felt that it might not be easy.

"Grumble-"

The Queen Mother had just finished speaking, and Xie Changying hadn't made a statement when she heard a slight sound, as if something was rolling.

There was indeed something rolling, and suddenly rolled out from behind the screen, it was a small bead.

Li Luo has been hiding behind the screen, it is inconvenient for him to come out to be seen by the Queen Mother, and the little bead just happened to roll out from behind the screen.Xie Changying immediately thought that the Queen Mother might find out about Li Luo.

"This……"

The Empress Dowager also found the falling beads, she only glanced at it, and her face turned pale with fright, her expression was ten or even a hundred times more frightened than Xie Changying's.

Before Xie Changying could make a move, the Queen Mother had already trotted over, then bent down and quickly picked up the small bead on the ground, held it nervously in her hand, and stared at the bead for inspection.

The empress dowager's actions were so alarming, Xie Changying frowned, feeling a little unusual.

The queen mother rushed to pick up the small bead, looked at it carefully, inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed, as if she was very lucky.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside the queen mother, saying, "The queen mother is very glad that the engraved flower on this bead is not a chick?"

The speaker turned out from behind the screen. He was wearing a blue gown, his face was slightly pale, he looked cold and elegant, and he was unpredictable. He couldn't be Li Luo.

Li Luo hid well behind the screen, but now he came out and took the initiative to talk to the Queen Mother.Not only that, but Li Luo threw out that little bead on purpose.

Seeing someone in Xie Changying's room, the Queen Mother was taken aback and said, "Why are you here?"

To be honest, the Empress Dowager did not have a good impression of "Prince Li".Because the queen mother also knew that the emperor had been spying on Prince Li for a long time. Prince Li was indeed very good-looking, but he was a man after all. If something happened to the emperor, it would definitely become a scandal for Da Xie.

In order not to offend the emperor, Prince Li used to enter the palace to play the piano every time as required. In the eyes of the queen mother, it seemed that he was deliberately seducing the emperor.

Now Prince Li no longer seduces the emperor, but seems to have seduced King Yingchuan.

The Empress Dowager spoke harshly to Li Luo, Xie Changying immediately walked over and stood in front of Li Luo, the meaning of protection could not be more obvious.

Xie Changying asked Li Luo in a low voice, "Why did you come out?"

"I thought of a very interesting thing, so I wanted to verify it." Li Luo said with a smile.

Xie Changying subconsciously glanced at the small bead in the Empress Dowager's hand.

Xie Changying recognized that little bead, and it was brought back from Four Seasons Villa. It was originally a little bead engraved with a chick pattern, but it was polished by Yun Qingyue and re-carved with flowers.

Li Luo also looked at the little bead in the Empress Dowager's hand with a smile, and instead of answering what the Empress Dowager said, said, "Does the Empress Dowager think this little bead looks familiar?"

The queen mother was a little flustered, and said: "Why does the Ai family feel familiar? It's just a worthless pearl."

Li Luo smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager didn't expect that the engraving on this little bead is a flower, not a chick?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The queen mother said disgustedly: "The Ai family doesn't understand at all."

Li Luo continued to himself: "Actually, the engraving on this bead is indeed a chick, but it was changed a bit. The Empress Dowager saw that the bead looks familiar, so it's not a mistake. In fact, the Empress Dowager's memory is quite good."

"You..." The Empress Dowager's eyes widened, full of horror, she stared at Li Luo, speechless.

The queen mother trembled twice, she felt that she had been seen through by Li Luo, and it was useless to argue any further.

Xie Changying didn't understand what Li Luo meant, and said, "What's going on?" Why did the Queen Mother know the chick's token?

After thinking about it carefully, if Li Luo was not talking nonsense, then the matter might be complicated.

And Li Luo has never been a person who likes to talk nonsense.

Li Luo said: "My lord, you forgot, the little prince once said that he saw the baby bird token, which is a small bead engraved with the baby bird pattern."

Xie Changying nodded.

Xie Changying asked Xie Tang, and Xie Tang said that he saw it on the second prince, who was wearing it.Xie Changying was very surprised that the second prince actually united with Li Guo.

Li Luo said: "At that time, I was also thinking that the second prince is actually from the Li country. I was a little surprised. I always felt that there was something wrong."

How old is the second prince?They were about the same age as Xie Tang. If you go back more than ten years ago, both Xie Tang and Xie Di were only a few years old. It was impossible for them to get the token of the baby bird and become the people who made great achievements at that time.

"That's why Xie Di didn't hold the chick token all the time, maybe Xie Di got it from somewhere." Li Luo said.

Li Luo was actually quite interested in where Xie Di got the chick token.But there are many possibilities, so Li Luo never guessed it.

"I will talk about it later, the second prince is dead." Li Luo said, looking at the queen mother with deep meaning.

The queen mother panicked and couldn't help taking a step back.

The second prince and the little princess got married. The night was so lively. Although the emperor said he was sick and didn't come, the queen mother actually attended the wedding banquet. Everyone heard that the queen mother attended the wedding banquet, so they all sent congratulatory gifts and all came to the wedding banquet.

Li Luo thought it was a bit strange at the time, but he didn't think about it, but now he has to think about it carefully.

The Empress Dowager disliked the Second Prince very much, so why did she come to the wedding banquet in person?According to this situation, at most, it would be enough to send someone to give a congratulatory gift, but the Queen Mother actually came to the scene in person.

The little princess of Li Guo has no friendship with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother definitely didn't go for Princess Li's face, so what is the motive of the Queen Mother going there in person?

The Empress Dowager not only went to the wedding banquet in person, but also called the little princess of Li Guo out of the wedding room during the wedding banquet, saying that she wanted to give the little princess a congratulatory gift in person, and the two talked for a while.

Li Luo said: "It just so happens that the wedding room caught fire, but the little princess did not die in the wedding room, because the queen mother called people out, the little princess survived, but the second prince was burned to death."

Coincidentally, what a coincidence.

Li Luo felt that there must be many coincidences in this world, but this incident did not seem like a real coincidence.

Li Luo said: "According to the steward's confession, the second prince wanted to kill the little princess and asked the steward to set the fire on fire. If it is indeed a coincidence, the queen mother called the little princess away, and the little princess survived. I believe this is a coincidence. However, in that fire, the second prince who was behind the scenes was actually burned to death by his own plan. In this way, is this story too coincidental?"

It's a coincidence, it's better to say it's an elaborate trap, how ridiculous it sounds that the second prince died because of his own plan.

"I couldn't help but think, maybe someone wanted to kill the second prince, so in order not to implicate the innocent, that person sent the little princess away." Li Luo said.

"It's nonsense!" The queen mother was anxious, and scolded: "Nonsense! The Ai family doesn't know what you are talking about! According to what you mean, it was the Ai family who killed the second prince? What evidence do you have to prove that the Ai family killed someone?" ? Why did the Aijia kill people? Absurd."

Li Luo pointed to the small bead in the Empress Dowager's hand, and said, "Because of the chick's token."

He paused, and kindly explained: "Because the token of the baby bird in the hands of the second prince should have belonged to you, the queen mother. Although I don't know why, the token was taken away by the second prince. Anyway, the final result is that the second prince The prince may threaten you, so the empress dowager has murderous intentions, and wants to kill people to silence you in order to avoid future troubles."

"Aijia...I..." The Empress Dowager trembled uncontrollably, her voice also trembling, and murmured: "No...I didn't..."

Li Luo didn't have conclusive evidence, this was just his speculation.So just now, Li Luo thought of a way to verify his speculation.He deliberately threw the bead that was engraved with a small flower out from behind the screen...

Sure enough, the queen mother saw that the little beads were very excited, and immediately recognized that they were the tokens of the chicks, so she hurriedly picked them up to check.

Her actions completely betrayed her, Li Luo said: "My verification seems to be successful."

"No, it's not like that." The queen mother panicked, she didn't explain to Li Luo, but said to Xie Changying: "I am not Li Guo's secret agent, I have no intention of helping Li Guo, I am a person of Daxie, my Home is in Daxie, why should I help Li Guo?"

Xie Changying didn't speak, Li Luo said lightly: "Perhaps it's because the Empress Dowager's life was not as good as it was more than ten years ago..."

After Li Luo finished speaking, the Empress Dowager fell silent, she seemed to be in some kind of quagmire, and suddenly recalled the unpleasant experience.

The queen mother shook her body wearily, and finally she couldn't stand still, she fell down on the chair and said: "Yes, more than ten years ago, I... what can I do? In order to survive, even if I am a thankful person, But I also want to survive, and I have no choice but to help them."

As soon as she said this, Xie Changying understood that Li Luo's guess was correct, and the second prince's baby bird token was indeed obtained from the Queen Mother.

And the second prince was also silenced by the queen mother.

The queen mother became depressed, but soon stood up again, and said: "But it has been so long, what kind of baby tokens have long since ceased to exist! The Ai family now owns half of Daxie's imperial court, so it has long since disappeared." It's under the control of others!"

The queen mother is no longer the humble woman she was more than ten years ago.Now that she opens her mouth, the emperor will be afraid.It's a pity that when the queen mother was not careful, she actually asked the second prince to find out about the chick's token, and the token was even stolen.

The second prince threatened the queen mother with the baby bird token, and wanted to use the power of the queen mother to overthrow the prince, King Yingchuan, and even his father, and sit on the throne of the emperor himself.

The queen mother was threatened, but how could she be reconciled, so she secretly planned to kill the second prince to silence her.Coincidentally, the second prince wanted to set fire to kill the little princess to relieve his hatred. The queen mother's people found out about the housekeeper's plan to set fire, so they simply followed the plan. The queen mother sent the little princess away, and asked someone to find the second prince again Talk to him about big things.

The second prince didn't know there was a scam, so he came to see the queen mother, but was dazzled by the people around the queen mother, and carried him to the new house.

As a result, the butler set fire to the second prince, who was still unconscious, suffocated to death by the black smoke of the fire.When he died, the second prince was still carrying the little princess' suicide note, planning to use the little princess' death to frame Xie Changying.

This series of traps, the Empress Dowager thought they were flawless, but they were suddenly punctured by someone.

Xie Changying hadn't spoken all this time, but this time she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "The Empress Dowager, the princess of Li Guo..."

The queen mother knew what he was going to ask, and quickly said: "Changying, you have to believe me, the second prince is ambitious, he deserves to die! But Princess Li and the Ai family have no grievances, why did the Ai family kill her? Not at all. The Ai family moved their hands, the Ai family didn't know!"

Li Luo nodded and said: "Princess Li's affairs should have nothing to do with the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother wanted to do something, she wouldn't send the little princess away before the fire broke out."

Indeed, the disappearance of the little princess is still a mystery.

The queen mother excitedly took Xie Changying's hand, and said: "Changying, the Ai family is for your own good, and the Ai family is really not from the Li country. You have to understand the painstaking efforts of the Ai family. We can no longer sit idly by, now The emperor is targeting you so much, Li Guo also regards you as a thorn in the side, Aijia is willing to help you, help you escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and help you... ascend to the throne of Daxie!"

The Empress Dowager finally spoke out, her gaze fixed on Xie Changying.

Li Luo said at this time: "My lord, I think the empress dowager really wants to help my lord, if it's better for my lord, don't refuse."

Xie Changying was a little surprised by Li Luo's words, and glanced at Li Luo.

Li Luo raised his lips and smiled at him. If he wanted to help Xie Changying ascend the throne, it would definitely be a great thing to have the help of the Queen Mother.

Li Luo said that's all, and said to the Queen Mother: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I am on the side of the prince."

Xie Changying thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Changying will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's expectations."

"Really?" The Queen Mother said excitedly, "That's great, that's great!"

The queen mother should not stay for a long time, and soon left Yingchuan Palace.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, Xie Changying frowned and said, "The Queen Mother..."

Li Luo smiled and said: "The Queen Mother must have selfishness, but that's okay, who hasn't been selfish? Anyway, the big goals are the same, so it's okay to cooperate first, isn't it?"

Xie Changying nodded and said, "Indeed."

Li Luo looked very happy, and said: "With the help of the queen mother, then the prince...cough——"

Before Li Luo finished speaking, he coughed.

Xie Changying helped him to sit down, and said, "Don't get too excited, drink some water and slow down."

Li Luo coughed whenever he was happy, which felt really inconvenient.

"Why don't you call a doctor to take a look?" Xie Changying said, "You have a bad cough."

Li Luo's cough was a bit hollow, and it sounded very different from an ordinary cough.

Xie Changying knew what he was worried about, and said, "Lao San's medical skills are not bad, if you are worried, how about asking Lao San to come and see you?"

Xie Changying had quite a few guards, Xie Xiaoqi was one of them, and the youngest Li Luo also met him, he kept his face cold all day long and didn't say a word, at first he thought he was dumb.

Li Luo nodded and said, "Whatever, if I say no, you probably won't be able to sleep all night."

"It's good that you know." Xie Changying said.

Xie Changying called the third child, and asked him to check Li Luo's pulse, and said, "Avoid the people in the palace for a while, and go make some soup for Prince Li."

The third child nodded, and was really silent. He started to write the prescription without saying a word, stopped writing, then stood up and said, "Go and boil the medicine."

Xie Changying nodded.

The third child left, but quickly returned to the inner room, and said: "This subordinate has something to report, please move to the outer room, so as not to disturb Prince Li's rest."

Li Luo felt that he had a lot of energy and didn't want to rest now.And what the third child said was more like an excuse, the meaning could be translated as, he didn't want Li Luo to hear what he said next, so he asked the prince to listen outside.

Xie Changying frowned, but Li Luo was generous and waved to him.

Xie Changying stood up, followed the third child to the outside room, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Sanmu's face was stern, hesitating rarely, he paused and said: "My lord, judging by the diagnosis of my subordinates, Prince Li's time may be numbered."
