"Empress, I see that you are in a very bad mood recently, but what are you upset?" Liu Xu asked softly while rubbing. Speaking of this, Duan Yunfang felt pain in her temples again.

Liu Xu looked at Duan Yunfang without saying anything, and boldly guessed, "Is the Empress worried about the person in Jiaofang Palace?"

Duan Yunfang was shocked when she heard this. Could her performance be so obvious? Even the eyes of the palace maids could tell?

"Empress, why should you be afraid of that? Now you are all the emperor's women, so why should you be so tolerant at all?" Liu Xu whispered in a low voice, "Empress is now pregnant with a dragon son. If she gave birth to a prince, her status is probably going to rise..."

"You girl..." Duan Yunfang shook his head slightly. "Nalan Yaoyao has always been the emperor's love. So what if he gave birth to a prince? This palace still falls out of favor..."

"The Empress is wrong..." Liu Xu came to Duan Yunfang and squatted down to look at her. "Even if the Emperor doesn't like the Empress, the Empress has already given birth to a prince. At present, the Emperor has no descendants. The Empress must have given birth to a eldest prince, which is a transcendent position in the Phoenix Dynasty. The Emperor does not treat the Empress well, but is afraid that the officials of the previous dynasty and the people of the people will complain to the Emperor."

"This..." Duan Yunfang's heart moved a few times after hearing Liu Xu's words. Liu Xu's words were justified. As long as he gave birth to a prince safely, those people in the previous dynasty would seek justice for him, but... "Duan Yunfang was a little worried about the child in his womb. After all, this child is not the emperor's blood. If he is discovered, he is the most favorable evidence. Should he keep him or destroy him?

"Empress..." Liu Xu looked at Duan Yunfang in deep thought and called softly. This sound made Duan Yunfang come to his senses, and looked at Liu Xu and sighed slightly, "How can this matter be as simple as you, a little girl?"

"It's the empress, you think it's complicated. Women in the harem rely on not youth, not family background, but their own belly!" Liu Xu said to Duan Yunfang in an age-old tone and said, "Now, the only one in the palace is pregnant with Longzi. Do you think your life will not be easy in the future?"

Duan Yunfang smiled bitterly in her heart. If it were really the emperor's Long Zi, she wouldn't worry about anything, but... thinking of this, she touched her abdomen. Liu Xu saw that Duan Yunfang was not in a good mood, and she tried her best. She didn't say anything more, but just stood up and continued to come behind her and rubbed her temples.

On the side of Nalan Yaoyao, Cui'e stood nervously in front of Nalan Yaoyao, her hands and feet were uneasy. She didn't know why she was invited to Nalan Yaoyao by someone halfway to get snacks.

Nalan Yaoyao didn't say much, but sat on the soft couch, holding a teacup in his hand and drinking it sipped. But this lazy attitude made Cui'e feel even more uneasy, not knowing what Nalan Yaoyao had to summon him. If the lady knew about it, she would be afraid that she had done something that she had done to her.

"Miss Nalan, do you have anything to do with me? If it's okay, I'll go back. The empress is still waiting for meals..." After taking up an incense stick of time, Nalan Yaoyao still didn't say anything. This made Cui'e very nervous, and she couldn't bear it, so she mustered up the courage to say.

"Cui'e, whose real name is Li Erya, lives in Lijia Village, Qinghe Town. There is one sister, two sister and one brother in the family..." Nalan Yaoyao did not look at Cui'e's surprised expression, but slowly told Cui'e's background one by one. As Nalan Yaoyao talked more and more, Cui'e's back couldn't help but sweat, and her knees knelt on the ground with a slam. "Ms. Nalan is innocent. Please don't hurt me. Please, please..." After saying that, Dongdong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"If I did something to your family, do you think it would be useful to plead with mercy now?" Nalan Yaoyao couldn't help but snorted coldly. She failed like this in life? But memorizing the information made her mistakenly think that she had done something that was unreasonable.

When Cui'e heard this, she raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her in a daze. Her eyes were filled with a bit of prayer and despair...

"Although I am not very good at character, I will not threaten my family's lives! I tell you this is nothing more than to remind you, don't think you have secretly arranged for your family to live in a place where you think you think is safe. I can find it, and others can find it!" Nalan Yaoyao put the warm tea in his hand on the table and looked at Cui'e. "You have been serving Duan Yunfang for many years, and you know too much about many things. Besides, what is your own lady's true character? You know the best in your heart. Do you think you will have a good result in the end of helping the evil?"

When Cui'e heard this, she knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Get up, I'm going to let you come here because someone wants to see you..." Nalan Yaoyao said and stood up and said to Xia Yi, the palace maid beside her, "Take her to the side hall, I'll go in and rest first..."

"Yes..." Xia Yi responded, and then came to Cui'e, "Please come with me..." Cui'e didn't know what medicine they were selling in the gourd, but she followed Xia Yi to the side hall.

"Erya..." The door of the side hall opened. Before Cui'e looked up at who was about to see her, she was shocked by the familiar voice. "Dad, mom..." Cuie'e couldn't believe her eyes. How could they be in the palace?

"You are here in the palace, and it may attract other people's attention. Please tell me a long story as soon as possible. I will send you out of the palace..." Xia Yi said that, and then retreated and left the side hall for Cui'e's family.

"Dad, mom, why are you here..." Cui'e couldn't help but rush to them again and lowered her voice, "Didn't your daughter tell you? You can go as far as you get that money, how could you be discovered?"

"Erya, you have to thank the benefactor here..." The woman standing opposite Cui'e was crying with tears in her eyes. "If she hadn't found us, I'm afraid you would never see your parents again..." She cried again after saying this.

Cui'e was startled and looked at them, "You, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" Cui'e's father glared at her eyes and looked at her daughter dissatisfiedly. "What do you mean? Who did you offend outside? You actually kept chasing us? Your grandparents were killed by those who were sobbing..." Speaking of this, tears vaguely overflowed in the man's eyes. He probably felt that it was ugly to cry in front of his daughter, and he tried hard to suppress his sad mood. After sobbing a few times, he continued, "Your eldest sister was also injured, and the younger ones below were frightened. You, your brother, he, he..."

"Brother, what's wrong with him?" Cui'e raised her heart. Brother is the hope of the whole family and is also the only male in their family. If something happens...

"Your brother was frightened and became a fool..." Cui'e's father sobbed a few times and said something that Cui'e couldn't believe.

After hearing this, Cui'e took a few steps back and her body was almost shaking. She couldn't believe that when she thought she could protect her family, she almost destroyed her family.

"Daughter, what did you do? It actually makes people seek revenge..." Cui'e's mother was crying and she was shaking.
