Concubine Liu stepped forward and grabbed the queen's hand, and whispered: "My queen, how could you give up so easily? Have you forgotten how courageous you were to get rid of that mother and son?"
The queen's expression changed and she wanted to deny it. But Concubine Liu Guifei said: "My queen, there is no need to deny it in a hurry. Whether it is true or false, my sister doesn't care. It mainly depends on what the emperor thinks."
The queen stared at Concubine Liu's face for a long time, then asked slowly: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Concubine Liu smiled slightly: "I just said that we are in the same boat now, and we should work together now."
The queen murmured: "You mean..."
Concubine Liu quickly shook her head: "Your Majesty! This is the palace! Killing people under the eyes of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, is it possible that you are really tired of living?"
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Liu said again: "Actually, you don't have to worry. Even if the emperor knows the truth of that year, what if the emperor knew the truth? It was the rich wife and children who died in the Rongguo Palace. What does it have to do with the emperor? Then you can just find an excuse and excuse it. . There is no need to be afraid of others. The Xie family was brought to Beijing by the old Duke Jingguo, and he hid her in the Duke of Jingguo's palace. The Xie family died in the hands of the Fu family and has nothing to do with the Zheng family and the Liu family."
The queen remained silent and looked at Concubine Liu with vigilance.
Concubine Liu continued: "My dear, you don't have to wonder how the concubines knew about it. As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. The emperor can't accuse the Zheng family and the Liu family just because of that one person, right? The third prince doesn't matter, but the prince is. The foundation of the country, what are you afraid of?”
After saying that, Concubine Liu Guifei saw the queen looking at her with a strange smile, and her heart suddenly suddenly burst when she heard the queen say lightly: "Yes, what am I afraid of?"
The smile on Concubine Liu's face froze, then she smiled again: "What do you mean, Queen? Is it possible that you want to stay out of the matter? In that case, I will pretend that my sister has not been here tonight."
Even though he said that, his body didn't move.
The queen glanced at her and said, "My sister is right. We have a common enemy now. I just don't know if my sister has any good ideas?"
Concubine Liu Guifei saw the queen relenting and said, "My dear, don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first."

The next day, Luo Ran just woke up and saw You Qing already there. He looked at the sky outside and sat up quickly: "What time is it? Why didn't you call me?"
Youqing came over with warm water in his hand and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry. The Queen Mother ordered someone to come and send a message. She slept late last night, so you didn't have to go to say hello. That's why I didn't call you."
Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and knew that the Queen Mother was caring for her, but she still said: "You must never do this again. This is in the palace, we should be careful everywhere."
Youqing also knew the seriousness of the matter, but he only heard the palace maid say that the master would not go to bed until dawn, so he felt sorry for her and did not call her.
"Yes, this slave knows."
It should be green again.
After washing up and having breakfast, he heard that the Queen Mother was up, so Luo Ran went over to say hello with his two children in his arms.
Now the mother and son live in the side hall of Cining Palace, and they only had less than half a cup of tea in the past.
Not long after Luo Ran had just finished greeting the Queen Mother, he heard a palace official come in and announce: The Queen has come to greet the Queen Mother.
Luo Ran raised his head and glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother had taken off her armor and was sitting on the couch with a bowl of egg custard. In front of her were two children sitting obediently side by side. Their milk was white and tender.
Qing Ning has a bad temper, and she can't help but stretch out her little hands to grab them no matter Luo Ran or Aunt Gui feeds them.
But today she was very obedient. She just stared at the spoon in the Queen Mother's hand with her big eyes. She couldn't bear to look at the Queen Mother. For fear of starving her, she fed the cooled custard into her mouth first.
After getting the food, the little girl was very satisfied and smiled at the Queen Mother.
Jing Xing on the side was not in a hurry. He waited until his sister finished eating before he stretched out his little head and took the custard handed over by the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the siblings were not fighting over each other, the Queen Mother was even more happy.
Hearing the palace man's words, his smile froze for a moment, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of Qing Ning's mouth, and said calmly: "The information is quite well-informed."
Although Qing Ning was usually willful, the little girl was smart. Seeing that the Queen Mother's tone was wrong, she immediately grabbed her two little hands together and put them on her chest, straightening her waist.
Jing Xing also learned from his sister.
The Queen Mother was stunned and looked at Luo Ran in confusion.
Luo Ran said helplessly: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. Qing Ning is usually naughty and always grabs the hair of my wife, so..."
So as soon as she raised her face, the little girl knew that her mother was angry, and immediately put away her little hand that had done bad things to save her mother from slapping her.
"Gangster!"
When Qing Ning heard her mother's words, she made a babyish sound.
The Queen Mother reacted and laughed uncontrollably: "You, you little clever guy! Don't be afraid, my great-grandmother won't hit our Ning'er's little hands, nor will she hit anyone!"
Just as she was smiling, the queen brought people in and took the lead in saluting and greeting her: "I am here to see the queen mother, the queen mother is in peace."
Concubine Liu Guifei and others followed suit and saluted.
Qing Ning had never seen so many people, and they were all dressed up so gorgeously. She was so stunned for a moment that she even forgot to eat the custard that the Queen Mother put to her mouth.
The Queen Mother sighed, a little unhappy: "Everyone, get up."
The Queen and others: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Luo Ran greeted the queen and Concubine Liu and stood aside.
The Queen Mother softened her voice and teased Qing Ning: "Ning'er, open your mouth, otherwise my great-grandmother will eat them all!"
As he spoke, he pretended to put the spoon to his mouth.
When Xiao Qingning heard the voice, she turned around and glanced at the Queen Mother, then looked at her mother, then looked at the Queen and others. Suddenly she raised her little hand to grab the little knot on top of her head, raised her head and said to the Queen Mother: "My great-grandmother is beautiful. Ning'er wants it!"
The more he was afraid of something, the more he would get more and more. Luo Ran knew that his daughter loved beauty, but he was afraid that the little girl would become willful. Just when he was about to speak, he heard a sweet laugh.
I saw Concubine Liu holding her handkerchief and smiling: "Hey, who's little girl is this? She's so pretty!"
As he spoke, he twisted forward.
The concubines below were startled by the Queen Mother's "grandmother". Their eyes kept turning on the Queen Mother, Luo Ran and Qing Ning, and finally they all looked at the Queen.
Concubine Liu walked to the Queen Mother and saw that the Queen Mother was coaxing Qing Ning to ignore her, so she didn't care. Just in time to see Jing Xing sitting nearby obediently, he raised his hand and pinched his tender face.
When Jing Xing saw a strange woman touching him, he turned away with a sullen face in displeasure.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Liu's armor was too long and she couldn't loosen it in time. A red mark instantly appeared on Jing Xing's fair and tender face, extending from the corners of her eyes to her ears. The child's skin was so delicate that blood soon oozed out.
Only then did Jing Xing feel the pain and burst into tears.
Others were already frightened by this scene.
Qing Ning turned around and saw that her brother's face was covered in blood, and she was so frightened that she started crying too.
The Queen Mother was even more anxious. She raised her hand to place a bowl of steaming custard on Concubine Liu, and shouted loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Please call the imperial doctor! The imperial doctor!"
