Ming'er smiled and said, "It's a spice from my hometown. It has a soothing effect." As she said that, she reached out and took the bottle over without leaving a trace. The master had told her that this thing should not be shown to others at will.

She never thought about hiding anything from him, but she still didn't want him to know about her past. Her current happiness was hard-won and she couldn't be careless.

"It's not that the emperor didn't accompany me last night. I feel scared when I hear the wind in the night." A slender hand gently took Tong Luoyang's hand and touched her belly, "Your Majesty, you see, the little prince is not happy anymore. He

I keep saying why my father doesn’t come to accompany me."

"Hahaha, my concubine really has a childlike innocence."

"Your Majesty..." She snuggled on his shoulder, Ming'er felt a lot more at ease in her heart. As long as he was by her side, nothing else mattered. She could stay by his side. Until now, it showed that they were also in love.

divided.

Moreover, from now on, Tong Luoyang will only love her more and more. And he will only love her.

"Tomorrow, when the child is born, we will hold a ceremony to establish the queen." Tong Luoyang said slowly, holding the beauty in his arms.

Ming'er's eyes widened suddenly and her whole body trembled, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Tong Luoyang looked at her face and gently stroked her hand, "When the child is born, the mouths of all civil and military officials will be silenced. At that time, I will make you my queen and our child the prince."

Ming'er was trembling, and she seemed to be able to hear her own pounding heartbeat. She had been waiting for this day, waiting for the words "I have waited for too long", her eyes were filled with tears, "Your Majesty..." and threw herself into his arms, wailing.

He started crying.

Tong Luoyang was helpless. He quickly held her face and kissed away the tears on her face, "Don't cry, don't cry, I feel bad."

Looking at Ming'er's tearful face, Tong Luoyang felt an unknown influence shaking in front of his eyes, as if someone had cried like this before in front of him. He covered his head in pain.

Ming'er was crying, her tears of happiness kept flowing. Feeling that something was wrong with Tong Luoyang, she said nervously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty?"

Tong Luoyang gasped for air, and Ming'er helped him sit on the edge of the bed. He sighed slightly, "I don't know what happened, but I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that I saw someone who had also cried like this before.

I'm a little bit at a loss."

He felt that he must love Ming'er very much to make her his concubine. He felt that he loved her very much, so he told her all his thoughts.

Ming'er was stunned and said with a smile on his face, "Why is the emperor so sad? Concubine Rou, I think, must have cried like this before. It's a pity that such a lively person is gone like this."

."

When Tong Luoyang heard what she said, he felt it was reasonable. He held her in his arms and put his head on her chest, "I was overthinking it."

Ming'er gently stroked his head and said, "Your Majesty is also tired. It's okay, I'll give you a massage."

"Ming'er, you are so kind." Tong Luoyang fell in her arms like a sleeping child.

Ming'er twisted the silver needle in her hand and pierced Tong Luoyang's acupuncture point, "Your Majesty, I am fine."

After helping Tong Luoyang lie down on the bed, Hongying brought Nanny Zhang over, "Mother, Madam Zhang is here."

Ming'er nodded and fiddled with Zhu Chai, "Mother Zhang, did the emperor summon you today?"

Nanny Zhang raised her head and was about to say something. When she saw the yellow figure on the bed in the inner hall, she immediately changed her words and said, "Returning to the imperial concubine, the emperor asked the slaves for questioning earlier."

"What did you say?"

What she said seemed unintentional, but the old nanny was inexplicably nervous. The methods of this imperial concubine were frightening. She was deeply favored by the emperor, and now that the emperor was in her palace, she dared to call her to question him. It was obvious that the emperor

I didn't want to hide it from her. I thought so in my heart and relaxed my mouth.

This morning, Tong Luoyang called all the old ladies in the palace to the front hall and asked them one by one about the weird things in the palace over the years. It was okay not to ask, but he really asked a lot of things.

Every year, or even every few months, there will be all kinds of strange and weird things, some things are done by the maids themselves, some things are done by the concubines in the palace, and all kinds of harmful things are found out.

At first, the old ladies didn't dare to talk about it, but San De took the lead and talked about two old things. One was about the mother of the fifth prince, and the other was about the mother of the second prince. They both involved the original queen. The old ladies took a look.

In this way, they no longer hide anything and tell everything about the past one by one.

The more Tong Luoyang listened, the deeper his frown deepened. He waved his hand and asked the historian to write down all this. Especially when San De said about the second prince's mother and concubine, he sighed slightly. Now among the few sons, only he and the second prince's brother are left.

.For some reason, he always felt that there was an unknown feeling between him and the second prince.

That feeling lingered around him, making him very troubled. Was it brotherly sympathy? He didn't understand.

"Just like that, the slaves told what they knew and went back to their respective palaces."

Ming'er nodded after hearing this, "Do you think the emperor asked this because of the affairs of Wanchun Pavilion?"

"Replying to my wife, I don't dare to make wild guesses, but I heard from Mr. Sande that this is indeed the case."

The woman's bright eyes moved slightly, "Okay, I understand, let's go down."

"Thank you, empress."

Hongying watched her go out, waited on Ming'er and said, "My Lady, what should I do if I need a slave?"

Ming'er lowered her head and couldn't tell what she was thinking, and Hongying didn't dare to say anything. Ever since he cast the witchcraft on the emperor, Ming'er had an indescribable feeling for her and seemed to be deliberately staying away from her.

"Such a big thing happened in the palace, which will naturally cause panic. Those beautiful ladies who enter the palace must be very scared. No matter whether the death of a beautiful girl is caused by man or ghost, someone will be the scapegoat for this matter. Since

They are all scapegoats, so I should be kind to them."

The next day, Hongying, the eldest daughter of Concubine Jade, brought two boxes of jewels and jades to Wanchun Pavilion. The two boxes were full of gifts given to her by the emperor. Hongying said, "My dear masters, today I am a slave.

The imperial concubine has ordered me to give you some jade jewelry. The empress said that after you enter the palace, you will become a family. From now on, you can move around as much as possible to keep in touch with each other."

Hongying came back to report and then left. Ming'er looked at the flowers in the yard and smiled in her heart, "Come soon."

As expected, after a while, Tong Luoyang arrived in a dusty state, "Ming'er, you really know what I mean."

Ming'er opened her eyes wide and said, "Your Majesty, what did you say? I don't understand."

Tong Luoyang hugged her and said, "I was only focused on investigating the case and forgot to appease the daughters of various ministers. Thanks to you, otherwise, something would happen in this palace involving the front palace."

Ming'er shook her head, "It is my blessing to be able to share the emperor's worries. Those ladies also have to enter the palace to serve the emperor. They are all my own sisters. It is my duty to take care of them for the emperor."

She said it gently, and Tong Luoyang was even more pleased with her sensibleness when he heard it. Looking at her beautiful face, "My Ming'er is indeed gentle and generous. I promise you, you are the only one in my heart."

Ming'er smiled and agreed, but he didn't call me!

What happened in the palace soon spread outside the palace. Mrs. Nalan was sitting in a soft sedan chair, playing with Buddhist beads in her hands. She looked calm and indifferent. Among the beautiful girls who died this time, Nalan Pearl was

Her granddaughter grew up beside her, and it would be false to say that she was not sad. However, if she died before the draft, it would be because of her own stupidity.

This granddaughter was the most favored by his father. However, the old lady did not agree with sending her to the palace. She was a woman and had been selected for the palace. But in the end, she was the only one who returned to the palace in perfect condition. She caused trouble at the beginning.

There was a lot of trouble, but so what, she saw through the viciousness in the palace wall. She was afraid of death, so she could only use a clever trick to force herself to withdraw from the election.

But Nalan Mingzhu was too naive. She thought that as long as she did well, she could win the favor of the emperor, occupy a place in the harem and bring honor to the Nalan family. It was stupid, being a woman in a deep palace was the most tiring.

The most tiring thing is not the relationship with the emperor, but dealing with other women.

Although the old lady had been praying to Buddha for many years, she refused to believe it no matter what she was told that the deaths of these beautiful girls were caused by evil deeds.

It's simply nonsense. If there were really revengeful souls in the world, the old guy in the palace should have been cut into pieces long ago.

The person she was referring to was naturally the most powerful ancestor in the palace, the Empress Dowager.

The sedan slowly stopped. She opened her eyes. There was no trace of clarity in her cloudy eyes. She was really unhappy pretending to be like this to see her. There was no other way. Even if she escaped from the palace, there was no guarantee that she would be able to live safely.

old age.

"Mrs. Nalan has arrived." the eunuch reported, then bent down and said, "Mrs. Nalan, please."

She followed the maid in. Mo Yan supported the Empress Dowager and was waiting for her, "My good sister, how are you?"

The old queen mother saw her coming in and hurriedly greeted her. The only person in this dynasty who could do this to her was Mrs. Nalan.

The old lady smiled and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager." She said she was saying hello, with a smile in her words, and her legs were only slightly bent, and her movements were almost invisible.

The old queen mother was not angry, she stretched out her hand and took her hand, "I haven't seen you in many years. Come on, sit down quickly."

Old Mrs. Nalan sat down and said, "It has been more than ten years." Looking at the old queen's face, which was not young at all, she no longer cared about the past.

After chatting for a while, seeing that she was a little displeased and too lazy to flatter her, the old queen mother quickly got to the point, "I invite you to the palace today because I want to reminisce about old friendships with you, and also want to say that the girl from the Nalan family died in vain.

matter."

Hearing her tactful words, the old lady went on to say, "It's because the Queen Mother is so proud of her. She still remembers me and said that my girl, it doesn't matter, just die if she dies. How can I say that she died in vain?"

"Sister, what you said is a bit too ruthless." Could it be that Nalan Pearl is not her biological child, or Mrs. Nalan has a grudge against her daughter-in-law?

Mrs. Nalan picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, "Sister, I am really wronged by what I said. This child has grown up beside me. In our Nalan Mansion, which elder does she have the closest relationship with?"

Dear, besides her biological mother, it’s me. I know my granddaughter well. She is gentle and virtuous, and she is definitely a role model among ladies. But..."

She stopped talking.

The old Queen Mother looked at her, while Mo Yan waited on the side and listened quietly. She knew Mrs. Nalan from the time she followed the Queen Mother. She did not marry an emperor's wife, but preferred to be a general. To say that this lady could be considered

What a strange woman.

She looked at the old queen mother and said word by word, "Being able to enter the palace does not mean that you will be rich and powerful. Status and honor are all given by the family. Once you get to this cannibalistic place, you can survive only by relying on your family."

"Myself. If she doesn't live long enough to be granted the title of concubine or empress, she will have no choice but to die in the harem with bones in her bones. My sister understands this truth better than I do."
