Su Yiqing has lived in the uncle's house for several years. Not only is she familiar with every corner, she can walk out with her eyes closed, the general direction is good. In the first few years, she was curious and often went out for a walk. She knew where there were very few people watching the night.

In this way, he left the uncle's house without any obstruction.

I didn't dare to stop near the uncle's house, and ran until I stopped in a small alley two streets away from the uncle's house. I had something on my mind at first, but I didn't feel scared yet. Now I stopped and looked at the darkness all around.

It was blurry and there was no sound at all, so I felt scared.

I was hesitating whether to rush out of the city or find a place to wait until the sky was a little brighter before leaving when it was less scary. Suddenly, the dark alley lit up.

Su Yiqing was instantly startled. Just when she was about to activate the ring and run away, a plain voice stopped her.

"Miss Su Jiu, don't panic, I have no ill intentions."

Su Yiqing felt even more frightened when the other party said her surname in one breath. It was just not the right time to run away. She had to at least listen to what the other party said. She barely suppressed her pounding heart and turned to look over.

But I saw a man in plain clothes and a plain face. If it were during the day, this man would be the most ordinary person among the people coming and going on the street. But at night like this, the more ordinary the person is, the more terrifying he is.

.

"Who are you?" Su Yiqing's voice was trembling.

"I'm just an insignificant person. My master wants to ask Miss Jiu for something back." The man said calmly.

"What is it?" Su Yiqing subconsciously grabbed the small package on her body. There were some valuable small jewelry inside. It was nothing special. Could it be that she had some rare and rare elixir that was regarded as ordinary jewelry? In that case, she didn't mind giving it to him.

.

The man didn't speak, he just raised the lantern in his hand.

Su Yiqing then saw that a man was holding an exquisite five-pointed star lantern. This too exquisite lantern was extremely inappropriate for such a man, but she was too panicked just now and didn't pay attention.

Su Yiqing immediately understood in her heart who the master behind this man was. Indeed, she really owed him a promise. At the beginning, she said that she would go to him as long as he asked for it and only hung a pentagonal lantern on the camphor tree of the dim sum shop.

This is not a perfunctory statement. The dim sum shop is only two streets away from the back alley of the house. Standing on the high ground of Yuanping Bofu, you can see the camphor tree. Ancient trees are not like modern ones. They are hung up at night.

For many landings, generally speaking, when night falls, it will be dark everywhere, and even a small candlelight will be very conspicuous.

But there were too many things going on recently, and she didn't bother to pay attention every day. Just yesterday she was still thinking. If she left quietly, she would be doing the court a big favor. It was also repaying kindness in disguise. Everyone in this world is so selfish and even

Despicable. Why should she be so trustworthy?

I really didn't expect that the other party could actually find her, or maybe she was too naive, thinking that she was doing it secretly, and underestimated the strength of the ancients' investigation. Think about that day. There must not be many people infected with snake venom in the entire capital, and they were alarmed.

It's normal to find out if you go to the imperial doctor.

As long as you can find the uncle's house and screen them one by one, it's really not that difficult.

The reason why she dared to venture into the palace and find the master of the harem directly was because she knew that the master of the harem was not an ordinary woman. There were many rumors about this master, but most of them only knew that the master of the harem was named Xu.

Empress Xu, whose maiden name is unknown, but the most widely circulated legend is that she came from a scholarly family but was both civil and military. When the late emperor died, the prince was assassinated, the princes fought to the death, and the capital was filled with blood.

At that time, the Ninth Prince was not favored by the Holy Emperor, and Xu was only the daughter of a fourth-grade civil servant. The late emperor's arrangement clearly excluded the Ninth Prince from his rights. After getting married, Xu was not favored by the Ninth Prince.

It was in a state of being left out, and because of this, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was also ignored in the battle to seize the throne.

Although the Ninth Prince's Mansion was neglected, the Ninth Prince himself was detained in the palace. However, at this time, the Ninth Prince's concubine, who usually existed like a transparent person, took the Ninth Prince's token and went to the front of the Imperial Guard overnight with the Ninth Prince's token.

I don’t know how she persuaded General Shang, the commander in chief, to retire and avoid the battle for the right to inherit the throne, so he could live out his old age in peace.

General Shang brought several of his confidants to the capital, contacted the loyal old troops, killed the second prince who killed the prince, and quickly assessed the chaos. In this war, most of the princes were involved, and they refused to obey except to the death.

In addition to the ministers who were killed by the second prince, most of the princes and ministers also took sides, and at worst they were wise in protecting themselves.

After General Shang put an end to the rebellion, the focus became on who would belong to the throne. The biological mother of the Ninth Prince was just a palace maid. By chance, she was favored by the late Emperor and had a son, but she was only named Shuyuan. Her status was really low.

But because of his low status, no one had considered him before, and naturally it didn't matter whether he was on his side or not. Those ministers failed to recommend the prince they supported, and they argued over it. In the end, General Shang, who had made great achievements, proposed it.

The Ninth Prince, at this time, the person holding the pen is not as good as the person holding the knife. He is so hard that he was already dead if he was disturbed earlier. Anyway, the Ninth Prince is a loyal person. The most important thing is that although everyone was not on his side before, they did not offend him. There is no need to

Worried about settling old scores after he takes office.

No one knew at first that General Shang came back to quell the chaos after being notified by Mrs. Xu. This was also to prevent anyone from suspecting that the Ninth Prince had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger early in the morning, causing unnecessary trouble.

But when the throne was decided, some people were fixated on the position of the queen, hoping to dethrone the Xu family who was of low birth and unfavored. After many twists and turns, Xu family still took the post, and the great achievements she had made before were slowed down.

It was slowly spread, and some people were jealous and put eye drops in front of the emperor. Then the emperor severely punished those who talked nonsense, which was acquiescing to Xu's great achievements.

With such a great achievement, no chickens or dogs in Queen Xu’s natal family ascended to heaven. Queen Xu was a virtuous and virtuous woman who treated all the concubines in the harem equally and took good care of them, which won her a lot of praise.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has no son. Although she is respected by the Holy Father, she lacks favor. She has not blocked anyone's interests, and no one is stupid enough to kill someone who is completely harmless to her. The risk is extremely high. If it doesn't succeed, she will

It will give your opponent an advantage.

Empress Xu is a perfect person in the eyes of outsiders, except for being innocent.

When Su Yiqing heard all this in her early years, she was quite disdainful. No one is perfect, and people who look perfect on the outside usually have fatal flaws.

This Empress Xu can win a lot of praise from both inside and outside. She is by no means a fuel-saving lamp. It's just that I can't see what she is planning for the time being.

It was precisely because of such a legendary figure that Su Yiqing was determined to take risks. She felt that such a figure would be very courageous and could seize every opportunity that was beneficial to her, so she took the risk to go to the palace to seek medicine.

For a moment, Su Yiqing thought a lot. She was not a noble person. People around her were all scheming. Why should she keep her promise? Negotiating a deal with such a person who obviously had a big agenda required all her strength.

Engine Ring, no matter how many people are ambushing around, they probably won't be able to catch her. The world is so big that one person, no matter how powerful he is, can't control every corner.

"Miss Su, my master does not mean any harm, but if you really break your promise, my master will not suffer such a dumb loss." The man had observed people and could judge the other person's intentions from their subtle expressions. Seeing that Su Yiqing had

It was obvious that he wanted to escape, so he threatened him verbally.

Thinking of Uncle Yuanping's house, thinking of Brother Xu and Brother Xu's chubby son who was not very good at talking, Su Yiqing's heart suddenly softened.

How could she harm the people of Uncle Quan's house because of her selfishness? What she owes must always be paid back.

Then Su Yiqing followed this man, wandering through the alleys, and came to the door of a house. After entering the courtyard, Su Yiqing secretly smiled bitterly in her heart. This was so familiar, it was exactly the same as Zhao Boyang before.

However, when she entered the inner room, there was no one tied up waiting for her. Only a fair-skinned nanny respectfully offered her tea and snacks and asked her to sit for a while.

She sat there for almost two hours. Su Yiqing also knew that the queen could not wait for her to come at any time. Even though she was very anxious, she could only sit and wait patiently.

Finally, a woman wearing a veil came over surrounded by several vigorous attendants.

The woman's appearance is invisible, but her figure is very slim. Just sitting casually on a chair like this can give people invisible pressure.

The other party came in casual clothes and did not reveal his identity. Su Yiqing didn't know whether she should perform the ceremony of meeting the queen. She had learned many etiquettes of meeting the lady before, but none of them were at the queen level. But because of her engagement to Zhao Boyang

, her status increased, and the uncle's house invited a nun from the palace to teach her some basic etiquette including meeting the concubines in the harem.

After thinking about it, Su Yiqing still made a bow to meet her elders. Even if this woman has the aura of a queen, she may not really be a queen. It would be wrong if she made a mistake.

"No need to be polite." The woman raised her arm lightly and nodded towards the nun who had previously entertained Su Yiqing. The nun immediately stepped back in a sensible manner, and the rest of the group followed suit.

Just listening to the voice, Su Yiqing felt that this woman was the queen, but she was not sure, maybe she was just a stand-in.

Of course, for her, it doesn't make much difference whether it's the real person or a substitute. Anyway, she doesn't have the guts to hold others hostage.

"Miss Su Jiu, remember you told me that in the future, as long as I can be of use to you and it does not violate morality, you will do your best. I wonder if this is still true?" The queen raised her eyes slightly.

, asked slowly, with a soft voice, but with a hint of majesty that cannot be denied. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
