Xiao Qiyu did not take Mu Yunjiang to Dianfengtai immediately, but went to visit the Queen Mother first.

That day when I went to the palace to serve tea, I was unable to pay homage to the Queen Mother. According to etiquette, I should go and pay homage to her again now.

But the Queen Mother was ill and refused to visit her.

Mu Yunjiang, who is an expert in medicine and poisoning, immediately recommended himself: "I heard that the Queen Mother is not in good health. Why don't you ask your grandson-in-law to check her pulse?"

But Aunt Hua from Ci'an Palace refused: "No, I've had it checked by the imperial doctor. I just had a cold occasionally, and it's almost better now. I just don't want to move. Thank you, little princess, for your kindness..."

There seemed to be a strange uneasiness flashing across that decent face.

Although she hid it well, Mu Yunjiang still saw it.

When she came out of the main hall of Ci'an Palace, she saw some maids quietly burning the dried medicinal residue into the stove.

It is a custom in the palace to burn the dregs of medicine, as it is believed that burning the dregs of medicine means burning away the illness.

But, this doesn't taste right.

Mu Yunjiang sniffed secretly. Most of them were medicines for replenishing blood and qi, but there were also medicines for preventing pregnancy.

This conclusion shocked her whole body.

The Queen Mother is not the biological mother of the Emperor. She is only about ten years older than the Emperor. She remembers that in her previous life, she had seen the Queen Mother. She was well dressed and it was impossible to tell that she and the Emperor were mother and son. They were said to be siblings.

almost.

The current Holy Emperor ascended the throne as emperor at the age of twenty, and is only forty now. The Queen Mother is only fifty, but she has been a widow for nineteen years.

Can a fifty-year-old woman still have children?

As long as it is properly maintained, it will be fine.

But when the Queen Mother conceives a child, it means the collapse of rituals and music. This is a terrible thing for the royal family.

Moreover, it is a miscarriage pill, not an abortion pill.

Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to give birth to the child?

No, the Queen Mother in her previous life never had such a scandal, or maybe she hid the child after giving birth?

Thinking about the past life, Emperor Xiao Chun's sons were all dead. Xiao Qiyu took the dead Mu Yunjiang and ran to find some old man who kept a mirror. If that man could go back to the past, he must no longer exist in the original world.

All his sons are gone. How big of a blow would it be to Liang Emperor Xiao Li?

Mu Yunjiang remembered that Emperor Liang's health seemed to be declining at that time. It would definitely not work if he wanted to be reborn as a prince and support his own son to sit on the throne.

At that time, the Queen Mother had passed away and the Queen was missing. Only the Queen Mother was still alive. So, who is the final winner?

Before, she thought that Xiao Dalangjun and Xiao Erlangjun might be stealing the country secretly, but now she feels that the Queen Mother also has a problem...

The important thing is that the Queen Mother is very close to both Xiao Dalangjun and Xiao Erlangjun...

Isn’t it a bit scary to think like this?

A gust of wind blew, and a shiver appeared on her skin, which even stopped her walking.

"Ajaan, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Qiyu noticed that after she came out, her expression became extremely solemn, as if she was frightened by something.

Mu Yunjiang turned his head and opened his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart:

Do I need to tell him about this?

There was no face-to-face consultation, so everything was just speculation. She must not talk nonsense. Maybe other maids in the palace were taking this medicine?

Then she smiled and said: "It's okay, I was just wondering if the Queen Mother hates us if she doesn't see us?"

"It's normal to hate me. After all, I'm a traitor." Xiao Qiyu touched her forehead: "You have been wronged again."

"Don't talk about yourself like that. None of us can decide our birth, but we can live a good life every day through hard work. Everything will be fine. Trust me!"

She is so full of fighting spirit.

Xiao Qiyu liked her optimism and transparency: "Well, I have never underestimated myself. Let's go and take you to visit the Imperial Garden."

"Oh, good!" he said after a pause: "Actually, there's not much to visit. I've been there in my previous life. Although the man-made scenery is beautiful, I prefer to look at the Three Thousand Miles River and the moon, and climb up and overlook it.

Look at the smoke, clouds and natural scenery, that is the miraculous work of nature..."

Her vision does not lie in the prosperity of the capital, but in the vastness of heaven and earth and the majesty of rivers. What she loves is this land that nourishes thousands of creatures.

"Yes, I know that the princess is well-informed, but since she is here today, let's go shopping with my husband... To be honest, I don't like this palace either. But it's not dinner time yet... Now go over and order some phoenix

Taiwan, all we can do is wait..."

"Well, let me accompany you then!"

The young couple were holding hands and talking sweetly, while Qing Huan took Xiao Qizhe and ran out to play early in the morning.

"Who is this palace? It turns out that the evil concubine has come into the palace. Look, look, this little one has such a charming temperament. She comes to the palace and is so kissing.

I, I, come from a small family, and I really don’t have any manners..."

He didn't go far when he was ridiculed.

Mu Yunjiang turned around to look, but it was Her Royal Highness Xiao Jie, the eldest princess of Changping—the sister of the current emperor. She and the emperor were twins of the same mother and father.

Nowadays, in this Great Liang, the queen is the most respected person in the harem, but there is one person who is actually more powerful than the queen, and that is Princess Changping.

In addition to not being able to go to court and participate in politics, the eldest princess Changping is considered to be inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. The eldest princess is very capable and can very well solve the emperor's worries and problems.

The point is, the eldest princess has never married and has no children. She has been doing what she can for the prosperity of the country.

The eldest princess is a respectable person in Great Liang. But she is also a very stubborn person. Once she has a prejudice against someone, it may have a negative impact on that person that cannot transcend class in their lifetime.

For example, in the previous life, the eldest princess had always suppressed Xiao Qiyu. Ever since he was ransomed as a hostage, her desire to kill him seemed to have never stopped.

The reason is that she hates Xiao Qiyu's biological mother and also doesn't like Xiao Qiyu's master Rong Xi.

The eldest princess is in the camp of the queen, because the eldest princess was raised by the queen's mother, Mrs. Le - Mrs. Le is the distant cousin of Emperor Xiao Li, her maiden name is Bu Shule.

Bu Shule married: Xu Jing, and gave birth to two daughters - the eldest daughter, Xu Qing, married the emperor; and the second daughter, Xu Qin, married the general's queen, Hu Wei, and gave birth to a son, Hu Yiming.

Hu Wei was a mediocre man who didn't know how to fight and didn't understand strategy. The emperor asked him to take charge of the Northern Armament Department. Just recently, Hu Yiming was investigated for selling ordnance and iron and stone through the Northern Armament Department and has been punished.

The eldest princess Xiao Jie has been friends with Xu Qing and Xu Qin since childhood.

This time, Xu Qin's husband Hu Wei and son Hu Yiming were beheaded because they were involved in a major case. The eldest princess Xiao Jie went to the emperor to plead for mercy, but the emperor was unmoved and still acted according to the rules.

Xu Qin's husband and son were beheaded. Although she escaped with her life, she lost her energy and spirit and was bedridden all the time.

Because of this case, the prince was ignored by the emperor, the king's father stayed at home to reflect, Mrs. Le Bu Shule also fell ill, and the queen also issued a sin-related edict. Now she hardly attends any banquets except for handling the trivial matters in the palace.

Although the eldest princess Xiao Jie knew that the emperor's handling was not wrong at all, she was still a person raised by the Xu family, so she felt resentful towards Xiao Qiyu who found out this case.

As the eldest princess, she has read poetry and books and is familiar with palace rules and etiquette. However, when she saw this shameless couple today, she felt particularly disgusted.

Another reason is: Luo family - she and Shen Xinglan are also good sisters. She once envied Sister Shen for marrying a good husband. But such a wealthy family ended up like that.

Yes, it was not right for the Marquis of Jinyang to rebel, but as soon as the concubine Mu Yunjiang broke off their engagement with Xiao Xunyang and married a scoundrel like Xiao Qiyu, she felt angry.

So, when she saw this couple today, she couldn't help but taunt them. In fact, during these days, she had been suppressing a lot of anger in her heart and had nowhere to vent it.

Originally, on the day of their wedding, she wanted to pour cold water on them, but on that day, such a big thing happened. If she caused trouble again, the emperor would definitely be displeased.

Afterwards, they went into the palace to serve tea. It happened that that day she had a severe pain in her body. She couldn't straighten up because of the pain, and she had no interest in coming to find out about them. She only heard that something big happened in the palace that day. At that time, she only hoped for them. It would be better if we died together.

However, Shen Xingnan helped Xiao Qiyu clear Mu Yunjiang's innocence. Fortunately, God has eyes, and today we met...

Let’s talk about Xiao Qiyu. She gets a headache when she sees her eldest aunt. This woman likes to do things according to her own preferences. She will try her best to recommend people she likes to the emperor; she will spare no effort to suppress people she hates.

I am the one who is being suppressed.

Unfortunately, due to her noble status, he could not attack her, so he could only step forward and salute: "Qi Yu brought his bride to pay homage to Princess Changping."

When he was young, he once called him "aunt", but the eldest daughter and the princess disliked him and said:

"I have always been at odds with your biological mother and the evil thief Rong Xi. Please don't call me aunt. It's really disgusting. I will vomit out all the last night's dinner..."

At the age of ten, he had been a hostage for five years and was bullied. He felt aggrieved. However, after returning to the court, the bullying from his relatives made him feel that the world was extremely cold.

He was born of a sinister species, and it is impossible to win favor from others. Therefore, his future must be worked out by his own efforts.

At that time, his heart was extremely sober.

Later, every time they met, he could only call her "Princess Changping", and every time, he tried to stay away from her as much as possible.

He knew very well that if he had not had the merit of guarding the border, his father would not want to touch him for the time being, and the eldest princess would have caused trouble for him!

Today is a grand banquet in the palace, and it is almost inevitable to encounter that.

Mu Yunjiang also bowed: "Greetings to Princess Changping..."

I knelt down and knelt down directly on the cobblestones. These knees were bound to be uncomfortable.

The eldest princess looked down at her from above: "So you are Mu Yunjiang. You are so young, but you are so powerful. You can actually bewitch our third highness, who is not a womanizer, oh no, it is King Jingbei. , it’s really incredible…”

Those words are very meaningful.

Mu Yunjiang heard this very harshly. He knew that the eldest princess was difficult to deal with, so he didn't say anything and let Xiao Qiyu step forward.

"Returning to the eldest princess: Qi Yu and his bride are destined to be married."
To be continued...
