Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

In the past two years, Qiao Quan has become increasingly restless. I feel that his behavior has begun to become impatient, which shows that the emperor has begun to suppress him.

Before he died and let his next son succeed him, he had to remove obstacles to prevent the foundation of the country from being shaken.

It is easy to surrender to the emperor. Qiao Quan wants a child of my own, so that he will be the prince's grandfather. The hegemony of the in-laws is a wonderful thing to think about.

As long as the child is mine, he doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl, or whether it's of royal blood or not. He has plenty of ways to deal with it.

He asked someone to bring the bowl of love potion and let Qin Jiu drink it without either him or me knowing.

Qin Jiu was tormented for a whole day and night.

That day I knew my chance had come.

He wanted a child, but I wouldn't let him.

I turned around and resolutely drank a large bowl of sterilization medicine in front of the emperor.

After he finished drinking, he told the whole story.

He only said that himself and Qin Jiu were overwhelmed. The two of us had never thought of competing for the throne. We would rather one of us stay outside the palace and the other stay inside the palace. As long as we could see each other from time to time, we would have nothing else to ask for.

And cried a lot.

There are all kinds of false accusations against Qiao Quan.

The emperor sat in his seat and looked at me coldly for a long time. I talked for a long time. When Qin Jiu rushed in, I was already convulsing on the ground, holding my stomach.

Qin Jiu had just gotten over his emotional problems, his face turned pale as he kowtowed to the ground.

I just drank the contraceptive medicine and begged for mercy while holding my stomach.

It's like a picture of deep love between mother and son.

The emperor finally believed it.

I became a spy between the emperor and Qiao Quan, and did whatever they said.

Outsiders cannot understand the pain and thrill involved.

Only Qin Jiu, in this thrilling palace, is the only person who can understand me.

The child changes every year. Now he has broad shoulders and a narrow waist and is growing up very well.

I suddenly remembered the time when he drank the aphrodisiac. His face looked painful but serious, and no one could get close to him.

All the maids and servants I sent in were driven out.

The moment the door was opened by the maid, I saw Qin Jiu's gloomy and lustful eyes.

That heavy gaze passed through the others and fell directly on me.

His gaze was like substance, burning hot against me.

Then the door blocked that view.

Thinking of that look, my hands trembled and I put down Qin Jiu's things.

"Speaking of which, your father has been in the palace for a while these past two days and asked about your age. I think it won't be long before I see you get married."

I looked at Qin Jiu with a smile.

Qin Jiu's eyes turned cold, "I don't have such plans."

"You will be an adult next year. When your elder brother and third brother were your age, not only would they have concubines and wives, but their children would have run away too."

I became a lobbyist.

Because this matter is not groundless, on the contrary, it was mentioned to me by the emperor himself.

"Qin Jiu, you must learn to be flexible when it is time to be flexible. This is what your father proposed to me, and we have no right to refuse."

Qin Jiu looked at me meaningfully, and then the matter came to an end after Qin Jiu left.

I'm warning Qin Jiu.

All we rely on now is the emperor.

And over the years, I have also gotten a glimpse into the emperor's thoughts.

He was impartial to all his sons, making them all feel that they were the ones chosen by the emperor, little did they know that the emperor was raising a Gu.

Put all the poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions into a vat. Whoever comes out last will be the prince.

In the imperial family, everyone is cold-hearted.

If Qin Jiu went against the emperor's wishes, all the characters he had previously established would be false.

The emperor might even suspect that I have some ulterior motive against him.

And there is...

He shook his head to get rid of the gaze in his mind.

After everything is settled, I don't plan to be the queen mother. I have been traveling through time for so long and I have never seen the outside world.

I deserve to be free.

No one can trap me unless I want to.

The next few times we met, Qin Jiu would come out of court to pay his respects to me and the Queen.

I always run into the emperor in my palace.

The same is true this time.

When Qin Jiu came in, the emperor was playing chess with me with his back to me.

I raised my eyes and did not miss the gloom in Qin Jiu's eyes.

I was startled and met his gaze. I was covered in cold sweat and casually looked back at the chessboard.

But my heart is in chaos.

When the emperor saw Qin Jiu coming, the two of them chatted for a while, and the game of chess between the emperor and I was considered finished.

I was about to put it away, but the emperor pointed at Qin Jiu and signaled him to take my place.

I stepped down from my couch and served them tea.

The father and son chatted about random things, and finally talked about marriage.

"You are almost coming of age, and it won't work without a woman by your side to measure you."

The emperor opened his mouth and Qin Jiu looked at me calmly. I didn't understand what he meant, so I just lowered my eyes and pretended not to hear him.

"I haven't yet..."

"What do you mean nothing? If you don't have anyone you like, I think the second daughter of the Minister of Rites is very good."

Having said that, it’s basically the final word.

Qin Jiu made a move in silence.

The emperor looked at him and snorted, "Why? The daughter of the Minister of Rites is not worthy of you?"

"No, Father."

The emperor was a little angry, and Qin Jiu took a deep breath.

"I do have a crush on a woman, but she is of a special status, so I have never dared to mention it."

Hearing this, I looked at Qin Jiu in surprise.

"Oh?"

The emperor looked at me at this time, "Why, the imperial concubine doesn't know whose family this girl is from?"

"I don't know. My son is grown up now. How can he tell me everything?"

I'm joking.

"Then tell me, which girl is this?"

"The Minister of Rites..." Qin Jiu hesitated and paused here.

"Third daughter."

"I remember that the Minister of Rites has only two legitimate daughters, one is married and the other is about to be married. Which one do you like?"

At this point, the emperor also reacted.

"A concubine's daughter?"

Qin Jiu put down the chess piece in his hand, knelt down steadily and knocked his head to the ground.

"You are the prince after all, and she is a concubine's daughter, not even worthy of being your concubine."

The emperor's tone was quite earnest, but Qin Jiu remained motionless.

"Humph!"

The emperor swung his sleeves and left, "My wife is not okay, I will give her to you as a concubine."

Only Qin Jiu and I were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

I wasn't sure what Qin Jiu meant. My stomach started to feel uncomfortable again, and I didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Sit straight into the seat you just sat in.

"Qiao Yue."

Qin Jiu suddenly spoke, and a low and unfamiliar name suddenly came out of his mouth, which gave me a startle.

I never thought my name would sound so...erotic coming out of his mouth.

"You have nothing to say?"

I found a comfortable seat and sat down, then looked at him with my hands: "You become more and more disrespectful as you grow older, and I still think you are someone I can raise well."

When Qin Jiu heard my sarcasm, he didn't show any expression. He just looked at me as if he saw through my performance.
