Obviously, the Queen Mother already knew Chaoyang's identity, and she did not trust Chaoyang.
Chaoyang had already foreseen that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he would have to deal with Xiao Junze and then let the Queen Mother peel off a layer of skin.
"The Queen Mother... the prince seems to be very interested in this... princess now. I don't know what tricks the princess used to change the prince's temper." When he entered the palace a few days ago, he also saw the prince deliberately tripping the princess.
hazing.
Why did he specifically tell him today not to let the Queen Mother act harshly?
"Humph, it's just a way to be charming." She said coldly with her eyes closed, and the Queen Mother's words were full of disdain. "The most indispensable thing in the palace is the charming women. Send people to the emperor to keep an eye on them, whether they are the emperor's people or
The prince's people were all stopped by the Ai family."
Before she has tested this woman properly, no one can take her away.
"yes!"
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"I heard that you went to see Shen Qingzhou?" The emperor was afraid of Shen Qingzhou. This was an emperor's awe and fear of his powerful ministers.
"Shen Qingzhou is a good sword if he uses it well. If he doesn't use it well, he will hurt himself." Seeing that Xiao Junze didn't speak, His Majesty coughed lightly and spoke again. "Have you met Chaoyang's mother?"
"The number one master in the Western Regions, Saint Baili." Xiao Junze clenched his hands hard and looked at his father with deep meaning. "She is the number one killer in the Western Regions and a sharp blade in the hands of the Emperor of the Western Regions. How could she end up in such a state?
Trapped in Fengtian?"
"Back then, there was a rumor in Kyushu that if you get this woman..." Emperor Long put down the scroll in his hand, as if he was deep in thought. "A woman is the best in martial arts and the most beautiful in the world. Which man wouldn't want to get her?"
"There are more people who go to the Western Regions to get her than those who want to get the military book." Emperor Long smiled and shook his head. "It's a pity that even the cold-blooded woman will be tempted and become vulnerable.
The nemesis appears."
"Who is that person..." Xiao Junze wanted to know Chaoyang's life experience and who her father was.
"Shen Qingzhou." Emperor Long said calmly and spoke again. "Shen Qingzhou's greatest skill is to share your worries. Whatever I want, he will get it for me. Back then, General Suimu
The person who went to the Western Regions together was Shen Qingzhou, and the person who captured Baili's heart and deceived her into Fengtian was also Shen Qingzhou."
Emperor Long seemed to be telling a story, a story that had nothing to do with him. "Back then, he thought that what I wanted was Bai Li... The most ruthless thing about Shen Qingzhou was that he could sacrifice everything, including his lover.
Perhaps, he has no heart and no love."
Xiao Junze's heart tightened greatly. It was not that he had never guessed Chaoyang's identity, he even doubted his father.
If it was really his father, wouldn't Chaoyang and him...
"It's a pity that there are so many beauties in the palace. I love beauties and treasures even more. But what I want more is to obtain the world's Guigu Art of War and the three wonders of the Western Regions."
Xiao Junze breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it had nothing to do with his father, otherwise... what he did to Chaoyang on their wedding night would be truly intolerable.
"What are you afraid of?" Emperor Long seemed to have read Xiao Junze's thoughts and spoke again with a smile. "Don't you want to know Chaoyang's life experience?"
"Whose daughter is he?" Of course Xiao Junze wanted to know, and also wanted to know why Shen Qingzhou hated Chaoyang so much.
"If you have a chance, you can go find Mu Huaichen and learn about his invincible uncle, the number one master in Fengtian, and the number one general who died at the hands of Baili."
…
Yikun Palace.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a nap. The room was slightly stuffy in the late spring, and the maid was shaking her fan cautiously.
"Is she still holding on?" the Queen Mother asked quietly without opening her eyes.
"Back to the Queen Mother, she is still holding on."
"Well, I can bear it. I am someone who can endure hardships." The Queen Mother seemed quite satisfied.
None of the palace maids and eunuchs dared to say a word, their palms sweating nervously.
Is the person kneeling outside the door really Princess Li?
Outside the palace.
Chaoyang knelt on the ground, the ice needles piercing the bones and flesh around his knees.
This method was introduced from the Western Regions. Ice needles are made of ice. They can penetrate into the bones and leave a chill, making the person being punished extremely painful but not much trace can be seen.
The Queen Mother did this on purpose, it was a warning to her.
Taking a deep breath, Chaoyang trembled violently. It was really embarrassing for the palace people. In the late spring and early summer, ice needles could still be found.
Fortunately, Chaoyang had suffered like this many years ago, so he was no longer surprised...
She can bear it.
These pains have long been nothing to her.
Xiao Junze called her despicable more than once. It seems that her body, which has been tortured and can even bear pain, is indeed very despicable.
My eyes were getting a little dark, and I couldn't hold on to the rising sun.
I was tortured by pine needles last night and didn't get a good rest. I'm afraid I won't last long.
"Chao'er, have you seen the farthest north? There are vast grasslands, tall snow-capped mountains, and the most beautiful scenery."
"Chao'er, when we grow up, I will take you out of here."
"Chao'er, do you believe me? I'll take you back."
"Chao'er..."
He fell to the ground with a bang, Chaoyang's whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he seemed to have auditory hallucinations in his ears.
The boy who said he would definitely take her away when he grew up left her with endless fantasies, but disappeared.
Yin Cheng, where is he?
Where is he...
I promised that I would take her away and not let her suffer any more pain, conspiracy, why... I broke my promise.
"Yin Cheng..."
Inner Temple.
"Queen Mother, the princess can't hold it any longer."
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and sighed. "That's all. Since the Emperor trusts me, that's all."
"Queen Mother, our people failed to stop the prince, and the princess was taken away by him."
The Queen Mother stood up, her body a little unsteady.
When did her Ze'er become so interested in women other than Murong Ling?
This woman named Chaoyang is really not simple.
"The Queen Mother!" Seeing that the Queen Mother was in bad condition, the eunuch shouted in panic. "The Imperial Doctor!"
"The Ai family... I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer." As long as Xiao Junze can be well and the people around him are trustworthy, that's enough.
"The Queen Mother will live a long life..." The old eunuch was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
"How long has she been kneeling?" the Queen Mother asked in a hoarse voice.
"Go back to the Queen Mother in one hour."
The Queen Mother chuckled lightly. "She is a tolerant person. That Murong Ling... wouldn't even endure half a stick of incense. It's a good trick... it made Junze almost turn against the Ai family."
"The princess looks better than Murong Ling...she is sincere to the prince."
"Sincerely?" The Queen Mother looked out the window with wandering eyes. "Being born in the royal family, how many people are sincere... I just hope that this child will not regret it in the future."
The house of ruthless emperors since ancient times.
But who knows... the people who have the longest love, the most affection, and the most affectionate people are also from the imperial family.
…
On the carriage back to the palace.
"Yin Cheng." Chaoyang called the boy's name in a coma, hoping that one day the boy would fulfill his promise and take her and her mother away from Fengtian.
This time, Xiao Junze heard the name clearly from Chaoyang's mouth.
