Jiang Xinyue asked her to be clear-minded: "I am a person who prepares for rainy days. I have already gone to see Jiang Zhaoyi when she was still in the cold palace."
All subsequent plans, including Jiang Zhaoyi deliberately going to the gate of Hexi Palace to ask for an audience, but Jiang Xinyue decisively refused, were all arranged by them early in the morning and deliberately put on a show for the queen.
The purpose was to make the queen think that neither Jiang Zhaoyi nor Jiang Xinyue knew that she was the one behind the poisoning.
In the past, the queen didn't take Jiang Zhaoyi seriously at all. She was her cannon fodder, used to intensify the conflict between Jiang Xinyue and Li Guiji.
As long as her goal was achieved, she didn't care at all whether the cannon fodder lived or died.
Jiang Xinyue agreed to cooperate with Jiang Zhaoyi, but she did not regard her as a friend, so there was no such thing as special care.
In the cold palace, Jiang Zhaoyi had to eat chaff, wash clothes, pretend to be crazy, and try her best to save her life.
In just half a year, she aged twenty years due to overwork and mental and physical exhaustion.
Her beautiful face was gone, her grace was gone, and if she hadn't had a father who was a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take care of her, she would have been bullied to meet the King of Hell.
Jiang Zhaoyi just wants the queen to fall into the hands of the cannon fodder she despises the most.
The more the queen listened, the more frightened she became: "The third prince...is it also your work?"
"No!"
Jiang Xinyue denied: "I, like my empress, never do anything to my children."
The frightened queen had mixed feelings in her heart. The beauties who had just entered the palace in recent years were really better than their predecessors. Even a veteran like herself was deceived.
I thought that Concubine Xian was really an innocent and kind-hearted little girl with some exquisite thoughts.
But it turns out that every move she makes is under the control of others. If she takes one step, Jiang Xinyue will take ten steps. This is how the gap between them closes rapidly.
"Yes, in my whole life, since I entered the palace, the few kindnesses I have had have been used in places that should not be used, which is why I lost so much today..."
Jiang Xinyue didn't answer and looked at her quietly.
The queen sat up holding the small table, straightened out the blood-stained skirt, and wiped the blood on her lips. She became the dignified queen again who looked unchanging despite the collapse of the mountain: "Jiang Xinyue, in the harem Everyone wants to be a queen, but you think the position of queen is a hot potato. But you have to know that sometimes the emperor's favor is a reminder. Only when you are in a high position, those people dare not act rashly, cough cough cough... …”
The palace was dim and the doors and windows were closed tightly. Jiang Xinyue suddenly had a bad feeling: "Your Majesty..."
"It's leaked! Oh no! The queen's palace is flooded! Hurry up and find someone to put out the fire!"
Magpie and Shuangsheng were waiting outside, and they were all shocked when they saw fire shooting straight into the sky from the roof behind the palace.
The two of them knocked on the door hard, but the door of Queen Yikun Palace's bedroom was made of the finest golden ebony wood and was extremely solid. No matter how they beat or kicked, the door would not budge.
This door...
When was it locked from the inside?
Magpie's hands were swollen, and he realized that continuing like this would not help, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so continuing like this was not an option.
She looked around and said to Shuangsheng: "You go over there, I'll go over here and see which window can be opened. If it can't be opened, find something to break it open."
Shuangjiang nodded and hurried over there. She and Magpie were about to turn around when they saw Fenxi coming out from behind holding a torch: "I advise you not to come here."
"Cough cough cough..."
Thick smoke was already billowing in the palace, and the queen was choked by the black smoke and coughed. However, she covered Jiang Xinyue's mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in water, with determination in her eyes: "Concubine Xian, I will help you get rid of Concubine Rong. You promise me Palace...you must promise me to help me take good care of the fifth prince!"
Mentioning the poor child, the queen burst into tears: "Don't tell him... don't tell him that I killed his mother. I just... just want to have a child of my own."
Even if she wasn't a queen, Lan Cainv wouldn't be able to survive.
An unfavored Cai Nu, pregnant with Liujia, and no one around her, a high-ranking concubine could kill her and the fetus in her belly with just a few fingers, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
It was the queen who protected her and allowed her to give birth to the child safely without being discovered.
It's hard to say that Lan Cainv didn't die happily for the fifth prince's bright future.
"Promise me... to take care of... the fifth prince..."
Just as the fire burned down the beams in the palace and hit Jiang Xinyue, the queen pushed her away and she was knocked upside down. She fell in pain under the beams and spit out a large mouthful of blood: "I I know that Jiang Zhaoyi tampered with my incense, which led to my frequent headaches. I will help you deal with the flaw now. As long as you...as long as you promise me to help me take care of the fifth prince. , let him... let him grow up in peace, marry a wife, have children, and be crowned king..."
After being granted the title of king, you can go to your own fiefdom. From then on, the sea is as wide as the fish can jump, and the sky is as high as the birds can fly.
The last gift the Queen gave to the fifth prince was...freedom...
It is too difficult to be the emperor, and it is too hard to be the emperor's queen.
She didn't want the fifth prince to become like his father in the future, to live up to his deep love and go to hell in the future.
Jiang Xinyue said nothing and tried to pull her, but she couldn't pull her. The beam pressing on the queen was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Jiang Xinyue's palms were covered with blood blisters from the hot body of the beam.
The queen grabbed her sleeves tightly. The fire on the beam had already ignited her clothes, but she smiled brightly: "Jiang Xinyue, your kindness is used in the right place. Your kindness is sharp. You are better than me." Palace... is more suitable to be the queen of Dayan."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell under the beam forever.
Jiang Xinyue checked her breathing and found that she had just fainted, so she started looking for a breakthrough.
Combined with what the Queen had just said about helping her get rid of Concubine Rong, she guessed that the Queen didn't really want her life, so there must be an escape here.
She looked around at the thick smoke, which was so thick that she couldn't open her eyes, and she was still shedding physiological tears.
Breathing also started to become difficult...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you can't go in! It's too dangerous!"
After Emperor Xuanwu heard about the fire in Yikun Palace, he rushed over immediately. After seeing Magpie and Shuangjiang who had been stopped in a safe area by the guards, he realized that something was wrong and rushed in immediately.
But he was dissuaded by the people around him: "Your Majesty, the fire is too strong. Even if the Queen is inside... I am sure... Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important thing!"
"open!"
The emperor drew out the long sword from the waist of the guard and pointed at the minister who stopped him: "Who dares to stop me, I will punish him from the nine tribes."
The veins on his forehead were exposed, and there was a ferocious beast hidden in his eyes, as if he could kill someone at the next moment.
