Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

"Queen Mother? No, that wouldn't be a legitimate reason for us to do that."

"Are you willing to be the queen, mother?"

As he spoke, Qin Jiu tilted his head and placed it on my shoulder, his hot breath blowing lightly over my neck.

It made me shudder.

"That child can be our child..."

I couldn't help but raise my hand and slap Qin Jiu again.

This time Qin Jiu was standing, so he was under greater force.

The sound of the slap was particularly crisp, and five finger marks quickly appeared on Qin Jiu's face.

As a result, because of the nail covers, the corner of the forehead was scratched.

It was exactly the same as the first time I beat him.

I trembled my hands and gritted my teeth, "Who do you think you are bullying?"

Qin Jiu shook his head, "It's not abuse."

"You can kill me if you want."

"I just want to be with you, am I wrong?"

I felt more than ever that Qin Jiu was a lunatic.

Qin Jiu leaned his head on my shoulder again.

I couldn't push Qin Jiu away, just like I couldn't stop the affection he had for me that had arisen from nowhere.

Taking advantage of her pregnancy, Qin Jiu always brought her concubine Zhao Xiuzhu into the palace.

I secretly asked her whether Qin Jiu forced her to go.

Zhao Xiuzhu shook her head, "My Lady, I volunteered."

Zhao Xiuzhu is a concubine's daughter. She wants to avenge her mother on her own. This is the only way to repay her mother.

“I don’t regret it. If I were to do it again, I would only be grateful to Master Jiu for giving me this opportunity.

On my own..."

She shook her head. "Not only will I not be able to get revenge, I will only be more miserable than I am now."

The emperor caught a cold after a heavy snowfall.

It continued on and off until almost summer.

I don't have time to think about Qin Jiu. Qin Jiu is right about one thing.

What identity should I use after the emperor dies?

Qin Jiu and I were both busy with our own things and hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The next time we met was when the emperor summoned me.

All parties were ready to make a move, and the news that the emperor was incapable was already an open secret among the upper echelons.

Qiao Quan had people contact me several times.

I refused them all.

Until I met Qiao Quan at the door.

"May the Queen be blessed with good fortune and good fortune."

Qiao Quan, as a father, bowed to me.

I didn't say much, after all, Qiao Quan and I were not really familiar with each other.

"Over the years, the relationship between the queen and her family has become less intimate, and she doesn't interact with them much."

Qiao Quan spoke.

Even if there was no one around, I didn't dare to talk to him.

"Father, you must be joking. Once you enter the palace, it's like being in a deep sea. How can you keep in touch with your family all the time?"

Qiao Quan smiled, and his face had nothing to do with that of a powerful treacherous minister.

"I have been wondering if I was wrong to let Your Majesty take care of His Highness the Ninth Prince."

I smiled and said, "Who knows?"

When I entered the bedroom, I smelled a strong medicinal aroma, which became more and more bitter as I went deeper.

The emperor was so old that he could not move in bed.

According to Qin Jiu, the emperor favored a noble lady, who caught a cold without paying attention.

I know this is Qin Jiu's method.

So quiet that no one could suspect him.

But I understand him.

Knowing his dignified and decent inner self, you will find out what a sinister and cunning person he is.

"My Lady, you are here."

The emperor is short of energy.

I served the emperor for several days.

The emperor didn't seem to want to avoid me. He told me who he met, what memorials he read, and what he thought.

That day, the emperor suddenly summoned the three adults in the cabinet, his eldest son and Qin Jiu.

My eyebrows jumped.

Before everyone arrived, the emperor, in a weak voice, called me to come over.

"My dear concubine, it's time for you to accompany me."

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words. You..."

The emperor interrupted me, and his low voice continued until the eunuch came in to pass on the message.

I didn't expect the emperor to consider me.

The summer rain came suddenly, and it was cloudy and rainy outside. Because of the special circumstances, no one lit the lights in the hall.

In such a gloomy environment, my heart was strangely calm.

"Your Majesty has a decree."

After I said this, I turned around and looked at the emperor, and the emperor nodded to me calmly.

I also saw Qin Jiu's gloomy eyes and other nervous and uneasy eyes.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

I have been on the throne for twenty-nine years, and the world is in turmoil...

His Highness the Ninth Prince Qin Shu has noble character and is very similar to me. He is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility and will succeed me as the Emperor..."

I recited every word, and there were people in front and behind me who could change the situation in the court.

"Impossible, you bitch actually did that in front of my father...ah——"

Qin Jiu stood in front of me, with a short knife that came from nowhere and was covered in blood, cutting off several fingers of the Second Prince.

I turned my head and saw that the old man on the bed had closed his eyes at some point.

Along with the screams in the hall, the sound of weapons fighting was heard outside.

"Pass the order down. The emperor has the military token in hand. If anyone wants to fight, they will be killed without mercy!"

Qin Jiu stood with his hands behind his back, and the young emperor showed his true colors for the first time, causing the faces of the three cabinet members who had assisted the two emperors to change slightly.

The drizzle outside started out and then got heavier.

In the end it turned into a downpour.

The three people in the cabinet looked at the emperor on the bed, filtered through all the princes, and knelt down without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

The door was suddenly blown open by the wind, and the soldiers outside saw the scene inside and dropped their weapons one after another.

"Long live the emperor!"

"My emperor..."

The sound becomes louder and louder and travels farther and farther.

The majestic voice passed through the deep palaces and courtyards, blending with the sound of bells like an ancient background sound.

Qin Jiu turned his head and looked at him deeply.

I know what he means.

The young emperor has already grasped the highest power in life and can do whatever he wants.

After a long, long time, the rain outside finally stopped.

There was no one in the hall. Only the old emperor's body was lying there quietly. Combined with the dark gloom of the hall, it made me feel cold in my heart.

"Qiao Yue."

I responded and looked at him. The young emperor in front of me was not even wearing a crown. He looked at me with lowered eyebrows.

Qin Jiu.

Book of Qin.

Emperor.

I recited it silently.

It's really ups and downs.

Pity.

After Qin Jiu became emperor, he was no longer as domineering as before. Instead, he became cautious.

Come closer to me gently.

"Qiao Yue, are you willing to be with me?"

The young emperor is talking about me.

I smiled slightly and leaned forward to touch his lips.

I didn't answer him.

Because I am ready to leave here, the affectionate Emperor should give me some reward.

Qin Jiu was stunned at first, then he took the right to speak rudely.

You can see it's really pure.

The purity of the first kiss is still there.

I seduced him, and my skillfulness made him dissatisfied, so he moved more violently.

I looked out the window.

The sky is going to clear up.

The old emperor's death and the new emperor's accession to the throne took place at the same time.

The first morning court after Qin Jiu became emperor was held in my palace where I sent him out.

When he left, such a dignified and steady person also had a smile on his face.

I watched him until he was out of sight.

He then changed into auspicious clothes and solemnly picked up another imperial edict.
