In fact, the Queen originally told the Emperor that she wanted to adopt Xin He as her adopted daughter and make her a princess or something. But the Emperor had his own plans in mind.

The emperor really likes Xinhe and really wants to keep her by his side, but after all, she is the daughter of the Qin family, and even if he is the emperor, he cannot snatch her away by force.

But the emperor has four sons. If Xinhe falls in love with one of the princes and becomes his daughter-in-law in the future, wouldn't it be natural for him to snatch Xinhe away?

When the emperor thought of this, he felt that he could not make Xinhe a princess. Even though he knew that she was not his biological daughter, they were still siblings after all, and it would not sound good to grant them a marriage in the future.

Therefore, the emperor urged the queen not to make Xin He a princess, and revealed his thoughts. The queen did not expect the emperor to have such thoughts, but she thought it was a good idea.

Thinking about how happy it would be to have Xinhe as my daughter-in-law, always by my side, playing and laughing with me every day.

However, the Queen suppressed her excitement and warned the Emperor seriously not to force his thoughts on Xinhe.

It all depends on the fate between Xinhe and the other princes. Whether it will work or not depends on Xinhe. The emperor nodded repeatedly, and the empress and the empress decided to confer the title of Princess Xinhe.

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Qin Mingxuan no longer refused. In fact, he was very satisfied in his heart. His daughter had received such a title, which was a unique favor in this dynasty.

With this title, my daughter's marriage will definitely be easier. Can a princess of a country be married to just any family? My daughter's future life is guaranteed.

Qin Mingxuan and his wife suppressed their joy and hurriedly thanked the emperor and empress. But when Ji Wanran looked at Xinhe, she remembered what Concubine Shen had told her about her daughter.

Although the daughter in front of him was seriously injured, she was granted a title and became a princess with unlimited glory. However, the daughter who was killed by that bitch Su Peiyun was still unknown where she was.

Although her husband had sent people everywhere to look for his daughter, Su Peiyun was already dead. Where could he find his daughter in such a vast sea of ​​people?

Ji Wanran couldn't help but burst into tears. Qin Mingxuan naturally knew what his wife was thinking, so he patted her shoulder gently and comforted her with his eyes. He promised his wife that he would find his daughter back no matter how difficult it was.

Xin He on the bed suspected that she had heard it wrongly. What? Really? She became a princess? She was a princess who was high and mighty!

Xinhe knew that apart from a few disfavored princesses of the emperor, the royal family of this dynasty was sparsely populated, and there were no royal relatives except for Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng was traveling around all day and had not even married yet. So she would be the only princess in this dynasty.

Xin He never thought that she would be reborn not only as the eldest daughter of the Qin family, but also as a noble princess. It was a world of difference from her previous life when she was alone and helpless!

Xin He didn't care about tearing her wound, she reached out and took the Queen's hand and asked, "My Queen, am I really a princess? Do I have my own salary? Can I use my own money to buy something delicious?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you can keep your salary for yourself. If you want to eat something delicious, just come to me."

Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran smiled at each other. No matter how rich a foodie is, it is just as simple as having money to buy delicious food.

Sure enough, Xin Nan, another little foodie in the Qin family, immediately jumped up and asked her sister: "Sister Princess, is it true that Nan'er doesn't need to tell mom and dad what she wants to eat? If I have money, I will buy it for her, right?"

Everyone in the room laughed happily. The Qin family’s reputation as a little foodie really lived up to their reputation!

The turmoil caused by the traitor Shen Tuo to force the emperor to abdicate has finally come to an end. The traitor Shen Tuo was shot dead when he failed to break into the palace. The emperor ordered to deprive Shen Tuo of all his official positions and titles. The traitor should have been confiscated and his family exterminated, but the emperor, considering the Empress Dowager's kindness in raising and supporting him, only investigated the crime of Shen Tuo, and the Shen family was saved.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Shen, the mistress of the Shen family, and the only son of the Shen family were robbed and killed by thieves while fleeing, leaving only the side branch of the Shen family to barely support the family.

The Shen family, which was once powerful in the court, fell into decline and never regained its former glory.

Empress Dowager Shen in the palace vomited blood after hearing that the only son of the Shen family was also robbed and killed. Her already poor health became even worse. Fortunately, the imperial doctors in the palace used all their skills to bring the Empress Dowager back from the brink of death.

The Emperor and the Empress came together to serve the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager waved her hand and asked the Empress to leave, leaving only the Emperor by the bed.

Looking at the pale face of the empress dowager on the bed, the emperor couldn't help feeling sad. Although they were not related by blood, this woman had fought for her life in the cruel palace fight and brought her to the supreme position.

The emperor called "Mother" in a low voice. The empress dowager opened her eyes and looked at the emperor coldly: "Your Majesty, you promised me that you would let the Shen family go, why did you kill Huier?" Huier was Shen Tuo's only son.

The emperor was surprised: "Why did you say that, mother? Since I promised you, I will never do anything to Shen Hui. Besides, when Shen Hui escaped from the city, I was in a coma. How could I chase after them?"

The Queen Mother didn't believe it: "You are in a coma, but before you fell into a coma, didn't you order your ministers to root out the Shen family?"

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Doesn't your mother trust me? I didn't want the Shen family to end up like this. Instead, it was Shen Tuo who attacked me again and again and didn't take me seriously. He deserved it. I'm not so vicious as to insist that your mother's family be extinct."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said nothing, not even looking at the Emperor. The Emperor smiled bitterly, "Mother, I was poisoned but you didn't even say a word of sympathy to me. Instead, you kept forcing me to admit something I didn't do. I'll say it again, Shen Tuo's death was his own fault. I didn't do anything to Madam Shen and Shen Hui. As for whether you believe it or not, that's not something I can control. Take good care of yourself, Mother!"

The emperor finished speaking and walked out of the Cining Palace without looking back. At the palace gate, the empress did not leave, obviously waiting for the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's gloomy face, the queen stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with your mother. We just need to do what we should do. For the rest, we just want to have a clear conscience."

The emperor looked at the queen, and saw that she had a calm expression with a faint smile on her lips. Seeing such a peaceful smile, the emperor felt that all his depression and grievances had disappeared.

He reached out and took the Queen's hand and smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Queen. I won't be angry!" The Queen was not prepared for the Emperor to pull her hand in public. Her face suddenly felt hot. She waved her hand gently, trying to pull her hand out of the Emperor's hand, but the Emperor chuckled and held it even tighter.

The Queen looked at the flickering eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs around her and did not dare to make any big movements in front of everyone, for fear of losing face. So she had to let the Emperor go.

The Queen was being pulled by the Emperor to walk slowly in the Imperial Garden, and she was mumbling in her heart. Ever since the Emperor woke up, he had always been pulling and tugging at her to get close to her.

Since entering the palace, the Queen has been observing the demeanor of a noble lady and has not dared to make any mistakes in her behavior. She treats the Emperor, her husband, as just an Emperor and takes good care of the Crown Prince, her nephew who is nominally her son.

She always remembered her sister's tearful eyes before she died, and she couldn't let her sister down. The emperor was her sister's husband, and the prince was her sister's biological son. What she had to do was to take good care of them, to secure her position as queen in the palace, to live up to the family's expectations, and to live up to her sister's dying trust.

As for what she really wanted and what kind of life she wanted to live, she had never thought about it. She still remembered that her sister once told her that as noble ladies of a wealthy family, they only needed to remember what the family needed and they did not have the right to choose freely.

Because of this, she drank a bowl of medicine to stop herself from having such thoughts before entering the palace. Over the years, she treated the emperor respectfully but never got close to him. She strictly followed the ethics of a queen and managed the harem for him without jealousy or hatred, joy or sadness.

It's not that she didn't see the disappointment in the emperor's eyes, but she couldn't indulge herself. She was afraid that if she lost her heart in the harem, she would lose her peaceful life and become a terrible woman.

The days passed one by one, and she and the emperor had always treated each other with respect, but now the emperor suddenly became close to her, which made the queen very uneasy.

The Queen said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has been awake for many days. This time she would rather take poison than poison Your Majesty, which can be regarded as making up for her mistake. Your Majesty, why don't you go and see Concubine Shen?"

The emperor stopped and looked straight at the queen. The queen felt a little embarrassed under such a look and turned her eyes away involuntarily.

When the emperor saw that the queen was avoiding his gaze, he sighed softly and said, "Since the queen said so, let's go see Concubine Shen." After saying that, he still did not let go of the queen, and took the queen's hand and walked towards Concubine Shen's palace.

The queen saw that the emperor was a little unhappy, and she called out to him uneasily. The emperor looked at her, smiled and said, "I am not angry, queen, don't mind."

The queen looked at the emperor in surprise and was speechless. In the past, when she persuaded the emperor to go to the palace of other concubines, the emperor always stood up and walked away in displeasure. But today, he smiled and comforted her, which really surprised the queen.

The queen thought to herself, could it be possible that the poison from southern Xinjiang could change a person's temperament?

The emperor looked at the queen, who bowed her head in silence, and knew the queen's doubts. But he could not tell her why he had changed.

It was because when he was unconscious, he seemed to have had a big dream. In the dream, Shen Tuo was forcing the emperor to abdicate, but the ending was very different from the reality.

In that dream, the Queen also blocked the sword of Captain Shen for the Prince in order to protect him. Xinhe girl did not stand up in the dream. The Queen was seriously injured and revealed her long-suppressed emotions to herself before she died.

The emperor realized in his dream that he and the queen had misunderstood that the other did not like him, and they had missed so many years by suppressing their feelings.

By the time they both revealed their true feelings, they had already parted ways with each other. Even after waking up for so long, the emperor could still clearly remember the excruciating pain of the farewell between life and death.

When the emperor woke up and heard that the queen had once again stood up for the prince, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, fearing that he would lose the queen again in reality.

Fortunately, the emperor heard from Zhang Dequan that it was Miss Xinhe who saved the queen. He felt distressed and grateful to the little girl, and at the same time, he couldn't help but secretly thank the gods and Buddhas in the sky for blessing the queen to be safe and sound.

Although he was not sure whether the queen liked him as much as he did in his dream, the emperor did not want to hide his feelings any longer. Therefore, after waking up, he treated the queen with special affection.

The emperor didn't want to be like in his dream, where two people who liked each other missed each other. He wanted to let the queen know that he loved her. No matter whether the queen accepted it or not, he would not like her secretly like this anymore.

That feeling was quite uncomfortable. Every time she pushed him to go to other palaces, the emperor felt unhappy and uncomfortable.

The emperor always favored other concubines out of spite, hoping to make the queen jealous. But seeing the queen's indifferent look, he felt it was meaningless. He favored Shen Yining only because Shen Yining was very much like the queen before she entered the palace, charming and charming, like a ray of sunshine in the morning, making people happy when they looked at her.

However, the years of life in the palace have made the queen a wooden person who is indifferent and has no desires. The emperor wants to tell the queen not to suppress herself like that, and let her do whatever she likes. She should be a happy Miss Ruohua.

The emperor knew that if he told the queen what he was thinking, the queen would be surprised. But now the emperor was not sure how much the queen felt for him, so he did not dare to reveal his feelings easily. So he decided to take it slow for now.

The emperor sighed again, but he kept holding the queen's hand. Zhang Dequan, who was following behind, saw it clearly and couldn't help but smile with understanding.

The emperor is still too timid, but the master has his own ideas, and they, as servants, just need to protect the master.

The group arrived at Concubine Shen's palace. Although Concubine Shen was demoted, she had never moved to another palace, and the palace was still full of flowers and splendor.

When the emperor and empress entered the main hall, they saw Concubine Shen in plain clothes, kneeling in the hall. When she saw the emperor and empress come in, she fell to the ground and pleaded guilty: "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor walked over calmly and sat on the throne. The queen looked at Concubine Shen, whose face was still pale. She felt sorry for her physical and mental suffering. She glanced at the emperor and went forward to help Concubine Shen up: "You just felt better. Get up quickly and don't hurt yourself kneeling again."

Concubine Shen looked at the queen with tears in her eyes: "Yining thanks the queen for being kind to me. My mother's family is guilty, and I have harmed the emperor. Please let me die, but I ask the queen to treat my son well in the future."

At this time, the Fourth Prince ran in breathlessly from outside the palace and fell to his knees with a plop. "Please forgive me, my mother. I am willing to take the punishment on your behalf! No matter how you punish me, I will do it."
