Bai Hua seemed to have not heard Chu Yanzi's words, and stood beside him with his head down.

In just three days, the gauze on Chu Yanzi's face was peeled off. He was not seriously injured, but he had a little skin and had a system bonus. At this time, there was still a thin scar.

The nanny carried Nian'er in. Now Nian'er can stand for a while. The nanny put him on the soft couch, and he was about to walk towards Chu Yanzi excitedly. After running two steps, his feet became soft and fell on the soft couch, pouting in grievance, waiting for Chu Yanzi to coax him.

But Chu Yanzi did not fulfill his wish. Instead, she smiled at his embarrassing look. The nanny who wanted to help Nian'er was also stopped by Chu Yanzi and stopped smiling. Chu Yanzi opened her arms to Nian'er and said softly,

"Nian'er, get up, come over quickly, my mother hug you."

Nian'er was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. At this time, she saw Chu Yanzi spread her upper arms, her eyes lit up again, and her hands and feet climbed up on the ground, and crashed into Chu Yanzi's arms.

For a moment, Chu Yanzi and Nian'er's laughter mixed together, accompanied by Nian'er's speechless mother, which made Chu Yanzi's saliva look on her face.

"Empress, Concubine Xian is here."

"Concubine Xian?" Chu Yanzi turned his eyes and looked at Miaoqin at the door, protecting Nian'er with one hand, and was a little confused. What is Concubine Xian coming here at this time?

"Please quickly."

After taking the handkerchief from Bai Hua's hand, Concubine Xian walked in. Chu Yanzi stood up without politely. After Concubine Xian sat down, she blocked the palace servants before looking at Concubine Xian.

"Why are sister here?"

Concubine Xian put her hands in front of her, sat on the couch beside her, and chuckled and said, "Come and see you."

Bai Hua next to him brought tea. Concubine Xian glanced at him and did not pick up the tea cup.

Chu Yanzi's eyes flashed, and then looked at Bai Hua, "Help the little prince down, without my instructions, don't let others come in."

When the only two of them were left in the palace, Chu Yanzi sat up from the soft couch, a little puzzled, "Sister, you can talk now."

The smile on Xianfei's face faded, her voice was a little cold, but she was not targeting Chu Yanzi. "I thought before that Guipin Chen was pregnant. She was planning to deal with me in the matter of the empress dowager, but judging from her miscarriage, it seems that this is not the case."

"What does sister mean?" Chu Yanzi guessed a possibility, but was not sure.

"The Queen Mother's affairs are almost over."

The gentle voice of Concubine Xian came, but Chu Yanzi opened her eyes wide, it was almost over? Isn’t it over? Could it be... Chu Yanzi’s face was slightly pale, suppressing the emotions in her heart, and she was a little worried.

“Is there any danger?”

Concubine Xian heard the worry in Chu Yanzi's voice, chuckled, and did not directly answer her question, but said casually, "The Empress Dowager seems to have noticed it."

"So, her body gradually improved during this period?" As a result, there was an explanation for why the empress dowager suddenly recovered. Chu Yanzi thought that Concubine Chen and Concubine Xian had stopped.

"It's just a look back."

Chu Yanzi suddenly looked at Concubine Xian, and the cold color that crashed into her eyes was like a thousand-year-old ice would never melt away. Chu Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief and asked hesitantly,

"Does the Queen Mother have to... die?"

Concubine Xian seemed a little surprised by Chu Yanzi's question, and chuckled and answered her with a deep meaning in her voice.

"Of course not." It's just that she's alive for you, it's not good for you.

I don’t know what Chu Yanzi suddenly thought of, but she no longer continued the topic of the Queen Mother, “Sister comes to me, is it just telling me about this?”

"Of course not." If it were just for this matter, why would she come in person? When Concubine Xian thought of Emperor Yong holding the jade bracelet that day, her heart felt like she was covered in haze. She could not let the culprit go!

"I'm here today, just want to ask Ayan to do some favor."

"Sister, please tell me." Chu Yanzi was a little confused. What is the matter of Concubine Xian who needs her help?

Concubine Xian suddenly opened the teacup at her hand, gently dipped her fingers in water, and wrote two words on the table, one by one - hold on!

Chu Yanzi knew that those two words were put into his eyes. This was not difficult, just a little bit, should she help?

Chu Yanzi looked up at Concubine Xian, and there was a gentle smile between her eyebrows and eyes. Since she entered the palace three years ago, Concubine Xian was like this. Chu Yanzi paused, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. It was bright and cold, but it shook people's eyes.

"Don't worry, sister."

Looking at Chu Yanzi, Concubine Xian's fingertips suddenly trembled. If she wanted someone to hold Emperor Yong, there would be a way to do so. A Yan must know that today, the reason why she came to Jujiu Palace was just to test it.

She wanted to know if Chu Yanzi really loved Emperor Yong to the core, and Chu Yanzi also gave her the answer, and the answer she wanted.

Before February had passed, the news of the empress dowager's sudden coma came. When he learned the news, Chu Yanzi's hand holding the teacup paused, but the next moment seemed to have nothing happened. She lowered her eyes and drank the tea calmly.

Before the concubines in the harem arrived at Cihui Palace, Emperor Yong issued an imperial edict, and no one was allowed to go to Cihui Palace, but Emperor Yong himself stayed in Cihui Palace for three days and three nights.

On the night of the third day, the bell suddenly rang in the palace, eight sounds echoed in the palace and never stopped for a long time.

Chu Yanzi sat on the bed with her knees in her arms. Bai Hua walked in lightly, with a little pain on her face. Seeing Chu Yanzi's appearance, she lowered her voice and said,

"Empress, the Queen Mother is dead."

After a long time, Bai Hua heard Chu Yanzi's voice. She couldn't hear the emotion in it. "I know, let's go."

Chu Yanzi was wearing a white palace outfit, with only a pearl hairpin on her head, dressed up in a very simple manner, standing in front of the Cihui Palace, but the gate of Cihui Palace was not opened.

After Chu Yanzi arrived, there were a lot of concubines standing behind him, basically wearing plain clothes. Even Concubine Chen, who had just miscarried, stood in it with the palace servants.

Chu Yanzi looked at the door in front of him. It seemed that it suddenly became dark in an instant. This is the most enviable residence for women in the world, and this is also the most exquisite prison in the world.

There was no sound around quietly. No one knew what Emperor Yong was doing inside, and no one knew whether the empress dowager had met Emperor Yong for the last time.

The air seemed to sound a soft sigh. Chu Yanzi raised her eyes to look at Zhang Jin standing at the door of Cihui Palace, but saw him shaking his head at him. Chu Yanzi's breathing stopped. The next moment, she lifted her clothes and knelt in front of Cihui Palace.

With her actions, the concubines behind her followed suit, and Zhang Jin and other palace ladders also knelt down. Their actions seemed to start from the gate of Cihui Palace and spread to the entire harem, to the court officials who rushed to the palace after hearing the news.

The night was getting brighter, and Chu Yanzi felt that his legs were no longer conscious, and he knelt straight, and after a night, his movements did not change. When Chu Yanzi felt that his body was stiff and his legs were about to be destroyed, he finally heard a sound.

"Squeak--"

Everyone looked at the gate of Cihui Palace. Emperor Yong was still wearing bright yellow clothes, but he had not changed it for three days, and it was a little messy. There seemed to be a hint of tears at the corners of his eyes, but it was not clear.

He opened the door with both hands and looked at the concubines kneeling in front of him. He didn't seem to move his eyes without any movement, but that was all.

Chu Yanzi took a deep breath, moved his stiff body, folded his hands, bent down and kowtow, his voice no longer crisp, with a hoarse voice that had not been spoken for a long time,

"Please mourn me!"

"Please mourn me!"

"Please mourn me!"

The sound seemed to be reaching the outside of the palace, continuous, but Emperor Yong still did not change at all. After a while, he stepped out of Cihui Palace and looked back. The palace where his mother had lived for nearly ten years was dark and seemed to be a little wet, and it seemed to have dried up.

The relationship between him and his mother is definitely not something that others can imagine. He remembered that before his death, the mother held his hand and explained it word by word.

"I have fought forever, not to make my son wronged. Remember, as long as you are wronged, it is the enemy of the queen! Even if that person is my biological brother..."

His mother had already seen the bad intentions of the Duke's Mansion, and he thought he had kept it very well.

He thought of what Madam Zhang said to him, and his mother suspected that her previous illness was caused by the concubines in the harem, but she did not have time to find out.

Emperor Yong turned around and looked at the concubines. He pulled the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't pull out the amplitude. Finally, he spoke, "Zhang Jin."

"The slave is here!"

"Concubine Chen is responsible for the crime of killing the Empress Dowager! The nine tribes of the Shen family, both men, women, young and old, are all in lingchi! I want to let the Empress Dowager's funeral go all stain the blood of the Shen family!"

Emperor Yong's voice was not loud, and he did not have much anger. He explained it lightly, but the meaning of this sentence made everyone present frightened, and Concubine Chen even turned pale.

He cried out of the team, pulled Emperor Yong's trousers, and asked in disbelief, "Emperor! I didn't plot to murder the Queen Mother! Your Majesty, are you mistaken? I didn't! I've been recuperating in the palace, how could I harm the Queen Mother? Your Majesty! I'm wronged!"

Emperor Yong did not listen to her explanation. As long as he thought about the evidence obtained by the secret guards, he said that Concubine Chen had caused the Empress Dowager to be seriously ill before, he could not control his thoughts of killing Concubine Chen with his own hands.

He broke away from Concubine Chen's hands and walked forward, but stepped directly on Concubine Chen's white and tender fingers, without any mercy, and even the sound of bones breaking. Only the heart-wrenching screams of Concubine Chen were heard around him, causing the concubines around him to tremble.

Concubine Chen's hands were covered with mud and blood, and she couldn't lift them up softly, but she tried her best to hold Emperor Yong's legs, "Emperor, I'm wronged! Not a concubine! Emperor!"

At this moment, it suddenly started to drizzle. Zhang Jin wanted to hold an umbrella for Emperor Yong, but looking at Emperor Yong's expression, he did not dare to take a step forward. The ground gradually became wet. Concubine Chen's clothes were stained, but she didn't care at all and just wanted Emperor Yong to take back his order.

The rain and tears mixed together made the Concubine Chen look extremely embarrassed. Emperor Yong looked at her condescendingly. Seeing her begging, Emperor Yong's eyes were a little red. He suddenly kicked her away. Concubine Chen fell into the puddle, and even had stains on her face.

Concubine Chen had miscarriage not long after. Although her body no longer had pain, she could not withstand Emperor Yong's kick. She trembled and stretched out her hand to pull Emperor Yong, but she saw Emperor Yong suddenly step forward, her fingers connected to her heart. The pain of the broken finger just now suffered once again, but it hurt even more than before!

"ah!--"

Concubine Chen had no image at all. Her other injured hand rushed to push Emperor Yong wildly, trying to pull his hand out, but Emperor Yong didn't move at all. The cold voice of Emperor Yong came from the sky.

"I just said the punishment of your Shen family, and you?"

Emperor Yong had some hatred in his eyes. He looked at the delicate and tender hands under his feet. These hands were poisoning the mother queen. His eyes turned to her screaming and opening mouth. It was the command of this mouth. Emperor Yong's voice was a little cold.

"I will let someone remove your fingers one by one, cut off your tongue, so that you will feel pain and regret coming to this world."

Concubine Chen suddenly shivered, and the screams in her mouth became less. As Emperor Yong said everything, she seemed to have experienced it with her body, and the pain made her tremble, and her eyes were full of fear.

But Emperor Yong did not appreciate her expression at this time. He took back his feet and turned around to walk towards Chu Yanzi. Chu Yanzi kept kneeling on the ground without moving. At this time, his clothes were already wet, and the rain flowed down his face, soaking his hair.

Chu Yanzi looked at the series of words and actions of Emperor Yong to Chen, and kept his eyes closed. He didn't know what he was thinking, and felt cold and shivering slightly.

Emperor Yong looked at her, calmed his expression toward Concubine Chen, and reached out to pull her up, but Chu Yanzi's legs had already numb and had no sense of consciousness. At this time, she suddenly stood up. She felt her legs hurt and her face was pale. I don't know if it was cold or painful, but she just groaned and refused to let Emperor Yong worry.

Emperor Yong saw this look and seemed to have become a little more awake from the pain of the empress dowager's death, but he really couldn't say any warm words at this moment.

Chu Yanzi stood firmly against Emperor Yong and pulled the corner of her mouth, as if telling him that he was fine, but also seemed to be worried about him. Looking at Emperor Yong's slightly red eyes, Chu Yanzi's eyes suddenly turned red. Even if the rain hits her face, she could still see her tears.

Chu Yanzi's heartache in his eyes was unconcealed. He reached out to stroke Emperor Yong's face, and bit his lips tightly, for fear that he would not help crying as soon as he let go.

The expression in Emperor Yong's eyes moved, his fingers smeared under the corner of Chu Yanzi's eyes, and he still opened his voice, his voice a little hoarse, not as stiff as Concubine Chen's words, but he couldn't be gentle for a moment, so he had to say two words lightly.

"Don't cry."
