Knowing that Concubine Xian invited her to go to Yikun Palace, Concubine Yu was a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment before asking the people around her to carry the carriage and hurried to Yikun Palace despite the heavy snow. [ ]

It has been five months since Concubine Xian took Yongqi to the Rehe Palace in July. She has not seen her son once. The longing that penetrates her bones is almost torturing her crazy. Sometimes she shuts up.

When she closed her eyes, her son's slightly childish face would appear in her mind. In her dreams... she often dreamed that Yongqi was crying, crying for her, and when she woke up, she herself would burst into tears.

Since last year's birthday of Princess Gu Lun and Jing Jing, Yong Qi was raised by Concubine Xian under the emperor's order. Concubine Xian deliberately avoided her and did not let Yong Qi meet her. Counting on it, for more than a year, she has only

I have met my son several times, but I still look at him from a distance. How can others know the sadness and pain in him?

Now, Concubine Xian asked her to go to Yikun Palace. She was very surprised and alert, but in order to see her son, she didn't care so much.

"May you be blessed!" After Concubine Yu got off the carriage, she almost ran into the main hall of Yikun Palace. When she saw Concubine Xian, she took a deep breath and felt happy, with a trace of uneasiness on her face.

Concubine Xian glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "Sister Yu, there is no need to be polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, empress!" Concubine Yu respectfully sat aside.

"I haven't seen you for many days. My sister Yu is getting thinner and thinner. You should pay more attention to your health. It's cold in winter. My sister must have a good life!" Concubine Xian's words were full of concern.

However, Concubine Yu knew that she would not be so kind. She was afraid that there was something wrong in her words, so she respectfully said: "My queen has just recovered from her serious injury, so she should be raised more. I have an old problem with you, so it won't be a problem!"

Concubine Xian glanced at her calmly, and then said to Mu Yun beside her: "Go and bring the fifth elder brother!"

When Concubine Yu heard this, her whole body trembled violently, and she clasped her hands tightly together. Due to the excitement, an unnatural blush appeared on her face that was originally pale.

After Yong Qi was brought in by Mu Yun, she walked quickly to Concubine Xian and said cheerfully: "Mother, are you calling me? Do you want to take me out to play?"

On the side, Concubine Yu felt heartbroken when she saw that Brother Wu had not seen her at all, and her face slowly turned pale.

Concubine Xian saw it and said nothing. She patted the fifth brother's little face and said with a smile: "You child, you will be six years old when this year is over. It's time to go to the study.

Don’t be too playful later.”

"Yes, E Niang!" Yong Qi responded obediently.

Concubine Xian patted his little hand gently and said with a smile: "Yongqi, please give your regards to Empress Yu!"

When the fifth elder brother heard this, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He turned around and saw Concubine Yu. He quickly rushed over and threw herself into Concubine Yu's arms, shouting: "Eniang, Eniang..."

Listening to her son's call, Concubine Yu's heart was about to break, but she resisted the urge to hold the child in her arms, gently pushed him away, and said with tears: "Fifth brother, your mother-in-law is Xian.

My dear concubine, please call me Empress Yu from now on!"

"Eniang, don't you want Yongqi anymore?" The fifth elder brother looked at Concubine Yu, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness. He didn't believe that Eniang really didn't want him anymore.

Concubine Yu felt like there were countless knives inserted into her heart. The pain made her tremble all over. She took a deep breath, turned her head away, and then looked at Concubine Xian for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have something to do in the palace.

I’ll take my leave first!”

"Sister Yu!" Concubine Xian said with a smile: "Why is my sister leaving when she sees the fifth elder brother? Is it possible that she really doesn't want him anymore? I still have something to say to my sister!"

Mu Yun on the side understood and immediately took the fifth elder brother out.

"My mother...I want my mother..." But the fifth elder brother was unwilling and kept shouting for Yufei.

Concubine Yu couldn't bear it any longer, and a drop of tears slowly slipped down her face, more and more, but she tried not to cry out.

Concubine Xian looked at her appearance and felt a little unbearable, but when she thought of her current situation, she clenched her hands and warned herself in her heart not to be soft-hearted.

"Concubine Yu!" After a while, Concubine Xian spoke out.

"Your Majesty, I have resigned!" Concubine Yu stood up abruptly.

"You don't want to go back to Fifth Brother?" Concubine Xian said word by word.

Concubine Yu, who was about to walk to the door, was stunned when she heard the words. She turned around and looked at Concubine Xian with shock, confusion, and more vigilance in her eyes.

From the time she first entered the palace, Concubine Yu knew that Concubine Xian was no ordinary person. Over the years, she had become more convinced of her own vision. After Concubine Huixian passed away, Concubine Xian began to stand out in the palace.

Or... stir up trouble.

After more than ten years of keeping a low profile, Concubine Xian couldn't bear it any longer, but... Concubine Yu didn't expect that she would now extend a cruel hand to her.

From the moment she entered the palace, Concubine Yu was a peaceful person. Perhaps it was due to her personality. She had liked to be quiet since she was a child. In addition, she had a mediocre appearance and poor talents. Compared with the other wives and concubines in the palace, she was inconspicuous. Therefore,

She never dared to dream about getting more. For her, Yongqi's birth was a blessing given to her by God, and it also gave her hope in this deep palace.

But her son belonged to the woman in front of her. The only person she cared about was taken away by Concubine Xian. Concubine Yu sometimes dreamed of killing Concubine Xian and taking back the child, but... that was a dream after all.

.

"Your Majesty, what price do you want me to pay?" After a long silence, Concubine Yu asked straight to the point.

Concubine Xian smiled: "When I was in the palace, I knew that you were an extremely smart master. Now it seems that you are really a sensible person. If you want to play tricks, I'm afraid there are not many people in this palace who can resist you!

"

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Compared with your Majesty, I am far inferior to you!" Concubine Yu looked at her calmly and said with a smile.

If you want to get ahead in the palace, you must not only have brains, but also have means and ruthlessness, but... the most important thing is to be able to catch the emperor's eye. Concubine Yu thinks she does not have that ability.

"So, I and Concubine Yu can be considered a strong alliance?" Concubine Xian said with full affirmation.

Concubine Yu was silent for a while and then said: "If the empress returns Yongqi to me, I am willing to go through fire and water for my empress even if I die!"

Concubine Xian looked at her and smiled, but her smile was sarcastic: "Is it easy to deceive Concubine Yu as I am? If Yongqi is returned to you, will you still listen to me?"

"What do you mean, your Majesty?" Concubine Yu had to suppress the anger in her heart for the sake of her son.

"Concubine Yu, as long as you are willing to help me, within one year at most, I will definitely return Yongqi to you?" Concubine Xian stared at Concubine Yu closely and said.

"I'm afraid I'm going to let my concubine be the one who supports me. I can't trust my concubine, and I can't trust my concubine. How can we cooperate? I don't dare to commit murder and arson. If Yongqi gets to know him when he grows up,

His hands are stained with blood, how can I face him?" Concubine Yu took a deep breath and said.

"Don't you dare to do it?" Concubine Xian sneered: "Then I can't guarantee whether Yongqi can grow up safely. I'm afraid my sister won't have the opportunity to face the grown-up Yongqi."

"What do you want to do to him?" Yu Fei's words were full of panic.

"Since my sister, Concubine Yu, refuses to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, I have no choice but to accompany you to the end. You are a smart person and know what I want. I will give you a chance." Concubine Xian looked at her and said,

His eyes were frozen into ice, filled with coldness.

"If you dare to touch Yongqi, even if you die, I will take you to hell with me!" Concubine Yu stepped forward and shouted with blood-red eyes.

"Really?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly: "I can't wait to give it a try!"

After Concubine Yu heard this, she took a deep look at her and then walked away with the palace maid Chun Xu beside her.

"Empress, it seems that Imperial Concubine Yu is unwilling to cooperate. She is really arrogant!" Mu Yun said with a smile.

"I want to see how long she can be arrogant!" Concubine Xian sneered, and then whispered a few words into Mu Yun's ear. Mu Yun smiled knowingly and then withdrew.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there was a strong sense of jubilation everywhere. The fifth elder brother took his grandma to play in the snow in the yard early in the morning. Concubine Xian came back from greeting the queen. See

Watching him chasing the little eunuch and smashing small snowballs in the yard, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This child is really cute and cute, and he suits her very well. But after all, he is not her own child. No matter how good the child is, there will always be barriers. The child is still young now, and there will be trouble if he gets older. She has never thought about it.

Raising this child is a hot potato, but we have to deal with it as soon as possible.

Yongqi, what is your future? It depends on whether your mother-in-law listens to my words.

"Eniang!" Yongqi is still young after all. Over the past year, Concubine Xian has been very fond of him and has responded to his requests. Yongqi gradually no longer rejects her.

"Yongqi!" Concubine Xian knelt down and picked him up, played with him for a while, and then entered the main hall. After a while, she heard waves of screams coming from outside, and she seemed very frightened.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly.

"Ms. Qi, the fifth elder brother fell down, hit his forehead, broke his head, and fainted." Mu Yun ran in and said in shock.

"Is it serious?" Concubine Xian's face changed slightly.

"Yeah!" Mu Yun responded heavily.

"Didn't I tell you to take it easy?" Concubine Xian gave Mu Yun a deep look, full of blame, and then ran out of the dormitory.

Yong Qi was seriously injured this time. After Concubine Xian called the imperial doctor to take a look, she stayed by his side for two whole hours without waking up. Looking at his slightly pale face, Concubine Xian had a trace of regret in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!" Mu Yun whispered in Concubine Xian's ear.

Concubine Xian was startled at first, and then she bent down and hugged her fifth brother. For a moment, her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

What the emperor saw when he came in was this scene, and his face became increasingly ugly.
