"But the question is, who will become the queen after I'm abolishing me?"

She said, looking up at me: "Of course I hope it's you, and, no matter what, it must be you!"

"Empress."

"But, I watched coldly for so long," she said, with a trace of pain in her eyes, and her backhanded covered the back of my cold hand: "I only realized that you have no intention of turning back."

“…”

"If you really have it, then there is a little bit, the emperor will definitely start to depose me immediately."

“…”

"But you don't."

"..." I was silent for a moment and said softly: "Even if I don't, can no one else sit in this back seat?"

Chang Qing shook her head gently: "Although there are many people in this harem, there are not many people who can really catch the emperor's eyes on this issue. Jin Qiao - she is of course a good person, but she is a concubine after all. If it weren't for the background of Shangyang Palace, she would be very difficult to get even a concubine."

"Then, where is Concubine Shun?"

"Si Si?" Chang Qing still shook her head: "She gave birth to a son. If she came to be the queen, it would be difficult to protect the prince. Her younger brother is the commander of the army, which is more difficult to control than others. Besides, I heard that her younger brother and Liu Qinghan have always had a good relationship, right?"

I nodded silently.

Chang Qing said: "The emperor also needs to consider this."

“…”

After hearing what she said, and thinking about the other people in the palace, I realized that even from her perspective, there were no one qualified to sit in the back seat, let alone Pei Yuanhao, he naturally had to consider more.

I thought for a while, and then said softly: "Then - where is the Imperial Concubine?"

Chang Qing looked up at me.

"The emperor loves her, and she is also determined to be the queen."

"she……?"

Chang Qing's eyes became confused for a moment, but for a moment, she sneered faintly, and then said, "If she really deposed me on the grounds of 'no queen', then she would not think about it."

I immediately understood.

By the way, I even forgot that Nangong Lizhu has been sterilized and cannot give birth. If Pei Yuanhao wants to depose Chang Qing, then Nangong Lizhu should not be like following him to seek this advantage!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chang Qing then said, "It's because of this that I can't be ruined."

“…”

"Once I am deposed and you insist on not accepting this position of queen, then the position of queen will be vacant. Do you know what will happen?" I shook my head, and she looked at me with a cold look, and said, "If this is true, as a concubine, she can temporarily take over the harem as the queen. That will be troublesome. Nian Shen is still young and needs someone to take care of him. Naturally, she will be the concubine who commands the harem. At that time, who knows what she will do?"

“…”

My heart was as cold as her eyes.

I remembered what Nangong Lizhu said to me in my yard - the princes and princesses in the palace all have a common mother, the stepmother and empress. Maybe at that time, she had already calculated that I could not accept the canonization, and Chang Qing's deposed was almost on Pei Yuanhao's face. She was probably ready to ascend to the throne. Even if she could not ascend to the throne, her identity as a concubine would be enough to make her rampant in the harem!

However, today, Bai's resignation today disrupted everyone's plans.

At this time, Chang Qing sneered again: "Actually, she was really thinking too much. No matter how the emperor thought about it, he really didn't plan to let her be the queen."

"Yeah?"

She looked at me: "What do you think?"

“…”

I thought about it for a while and nodded.

Pei Yuanhao is still a very rational person. From the reason why Nangong Lizhu married Pei Yuanxiu, it can be seen that although he loved her, he had never been lazy about his country. If Nangong Lizhu was really enthroned, there would be no difference from when Chang Qing was there, only one had the surname Chang and the other had the surname Nangong.

I think it was indeed because she was thinking too much.

So in that scene yesterday, after Bai Yanbo resigned, Pei Yuanhao left Nangong Jinhong there, and I also understood what he meant. First, the court could not lose two important ministers at the same time; second, since it would not be enthroned by Nangong Lizhu, the power of the Nangong family would be limited. As soon as Bai Yanbo left, Pei Yuanhao's pressure was reduced by half. If the remaining Nangong Jinhong was smarter, he would naturally know to restrain himself. If he was not smart... In that scene yesterday, all his gangsters were completely exposed to Pei Yuanhao's nose. It would be easy to deal with these people.

Even if Chang Yanbai is gone, how long can he last?

I sighed, shook my head and put aside these things. After all, the Nangong family is not worried about now. I asked, "What about Master Tai? The ambitions are not fulfilled and his long-cherished wish is not fulfilled. Is he really willing?"

"It's not okay if you don't want to give up."

Chang Qing's face was a little dim and she said, "He said yesterday in front of the hall."

My heart trembled: "Taoshi He——"

"He is old, and after his brother left, he is even older. I know that his eyes are almost unable to see things clearly, and his spirit is much worse than before. He is not concerned about many things in the court, but he has no energy to care about them. He is not blind to them, but he is really about to lose sight of them."

“…”

"He was right, there should be some young people in the court, just like - the one who was yesterday."

I didn't say anything.

What he said at this time is actually not good, although I know that Chang Qing's consideration is right, and even, Chang Yanbo should have been ready for his stepping down.

Yesterday, Chabixing sued them for forming a clique for personal gain. Under such accusation, when Bai knelt down and apologized, there was no one around him. But in fact, as a veteran of the three dynasties, even if he did not form a clique for personal gain, wouldn’t there be many friends in the court? Couldn’t there be many disciples? Seeing him in such a difficult situation, wouldn’t he even say a word?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! However, no one really appeared, which is really abnormal.

Therefore, there is only one explanation. As the saying goes, Bai has already arranged it. When he falls, he will not implicate anyone else. His young disciples can continue to serve in the court. In this way, even if he is gone, the prince will not become alone.

I even understood why the prince followed Wu Yanqiu to manage the Yellow River as soon as spring began.

Pei Yuanhao and Fang Yanbo probably didn't want him to be involved in this matter.

Chang Qing said again: "Actually, early this morning, the emperor issued an order to withdraw the two people over there and demote them from the capital. Although these two people have low official positions, they already have a very clear idea."

I nodded.

Nangong Jinhong is not a fool. If he doesn't understand this meaning, he will have been in vain for so many years.

"And I also heard that last night, the emperor planned to add Feng Yanqiu as the young security guard, and the imperial edict had been sent to Henan in the morning."

"Really?"

"Um."

I took a deep breath.

Although Wu Yanqiu has been in the officialdom for so many years, he is still a young man in the officialdom. At his current age, he is almost at the peak of a young official. It seems that after Bai leaves, his lineage will not decline easily because of the lack of a leader.

He and Nangong Jinhong - still have a long way to go.

I suddenly felt a sense of sadness in my heart. Looking at the quiet and gentle woman in front of me, thinking about the huge pressure she has been under these days, just thinking about it, I felt like I was being dug by a knife, and I said arduously: "Why didn't the Queen say it earlier? If I had told me earlier, even if I could not do anything, at least I could share some of it for the Queen..."

She smiled bitterly: "What do you say?"

“…”

"My father wants to kill Liu Qinghan. How can I discuss this with you?"

"Empress..."

"But it's good now," she sighed with a long sigh and said with a smile: "Father can retire and return home and be a free man, and I... can go as far as I can accompany Nianshen."

Looking at her lowered eyelashes, she sprinkled a long shadow on her pale and thin face, making her look even more haggard and lonely. My stomach was so sore that I could hardly open my eyes, but I couldn't shed tears. After a long time, I choked and said, "Can I do anything for the Queen?"

She looked up at me.

"What can I do for the Empress?"

"What do you do? Nothing needs to be done," she smiled faintly: "Listen, just be yourself."

"Empress..."

"If you must have wanted to do something for me, my father will leave the capital in two days. At that time, I will ask the emperor to send him off. You can go with me."

I nodded quickly: "Okay!"

She smiled and patted the back of my hand gently.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Kuaer ran in from outside: "Empress, the emperor is here!"

"emperor?"

Chang Qing was slightly stunned and subconsciously supported herself. I also hurriedly turned around and saw Pei Yuanhao walking in from outside.

He still had a cold air on his body, as if he was being captured by the cold air. His face was a little pale and his expression was tired, as if he had not been asleep all night, with a faint dark circle under his eyes. As soon as he came in, he saw me sitting by the bed, he was not surprised at all, but when he spoke, his voice was also tired.

"You are here too."

According to the previous arrangement, today it was supposed to be the queen who brought all the wives to perform the silkworm ritual, but because yesterday's personal farming ceremony was like that, it was also exchanged for Chabixing's "superficial skills". Moreover, the queen and the imperial concubine fell ill, so the silkworm ritual was naturally gone. I just heard Chang Qing say that Pei Yuanhao had so many measures early in the morning, and I thought he was afraid he would be busy today, but he didn't expect that he would come here.

I hurriedly stood up: "Men's daughter pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Why are you here?"

"I heard that the Queen is sick, so the girl comes to see her."

"Sick?"

Pei Yuanhao walked to the bed, and I hurriedly pushed it away, and he asked, "What's going on?"

Chang Qing struggled to get out of the bed to pay his respects, but he reached out and pressed him back: "You are sick, don't get up and kneel down, just have a good rest. Why are you sick?"

"It's not a disease, it's just that I was blown by the wind yesterday and I felt a little hot. The emperor doesn't have to worry."

"You-you..."

Pei Yuanhao seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and just sighed.

As they were talking, I moved out quietly step by step behind him, standing at the door, seeing me like this, I looked a little stunned, and I wanted to speak but stopped as if I wanted to remind me that it was wrong to leave like this. But before she could speak or I moved to the door, Pei Yuanhao said without looking back: "Light."

"ah!"

"I heard that Miaoyan is also a little hot?"

"I've retreated, nothing serious."

He turned around and his eyes covered with red bloodshot eyes were full of tiredness. He looked at me for a while, as if he had something to say, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't say it, but he only said, "Then go back and look at her."

"yes."

Finally got the "pardon", I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out of Koer quickly.

As soon as I went out, I felt a cold air coming outside, which made me feel a little warm and medicinal spirit that had been immersed in the house and was slightly excited. As soon as I took a step, I heard Pei Yuanhao sigh and said, "You are wronged."

"Your Majesty, don't say that."

...

After hearing the emperor and the empress like this, a big stone in my heart really fell to the ground.

Of course I understand that Chang Qing staying here is indeed a waste of her youth, but if she is really abolished, her fate will only be even more bumpy. After all, I still have a cold heart in my heart, but she - Huang Tianba, doesn't even remember who she is.

She had never left a trace in the world of a man who made her give all her love.

But, who can I blame?

A tear slid from the corner of his eyes, fell into the snow with a squeak, and disappeared suddenly.

I couldn't stop any longer and hurriedly left.

|

It snowed again that night.

This should be the last snow after spring. I listened to the sounds outside the window, and could feel the cold air spreading as the snowflakes fell and accumulated.

But, after all, it is already spring.

This snow is no longer the endless biting cold, but it reveals a vigorous vitality of spring. No matter how cold or difficult the winter is, after this snow, it will pass, and all warm and happy days will come.

Thinking of this, I fell asleep quietly.

The next morning, it was already early in the morning, but I was so energetic that she didn't burn after touching Miaoyan's forehead. She just seemed to be reluctant to get up. I didn't force her. I asked Madam Wu and the others to come to serve her, so she got out of bed and put on her clothes.

As soon as I finished dressing, I heard footsteps coming from outside.

They are here.
