Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

Shoukang Palace was brightly lit, with the faint scent of sandalwood burning.

Ye Bingshang came alone with Zhu Xi. The first thing she saw was the empress dowager sitting on the bed with her eyes closed. Her face was sallow and she looked much older than the last time they met.

There was also a little girl who looked about four or five years old next to the bed. I guess she was the one that the Empress Dowager brought from the Uya clan into the palace specially to keep her company.

The little girl was as cute as snow and jade. She propped up her soft cheek with one hand, and tilted her head in a daze. She seemed to be about to fall asleep, but she was worried about the Queen Mother, so she stayed awake.

Ye Bingshang stared at the little girl, and an indescribable sense of familiarity lingered in her heart.

The little girl noticed her gaze, turned around and looked at her, smiling at her: "Your servant, Uya Tianhuan, pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

Ruoruo was generous, neither humble nor overbearing, dignified and polite. But it didn't match that face.

The name Tian Huan is also...

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ye Bingshang's mind, and Shen Meizhuang's name appeared in her mind, as well as the inexplicably withered ghost orchid. She looked at Wu Ya Tianhuan with a curious look.

"The Queen is here, come here and let me see her." The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, still smiling kindly as she waved at Ye Bingshang.

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Ye Bingshang readily changed her address to the Empress Dowager, but her attitude and way of getting along with her remained the same as before.

"I wonder if the Empress Dowager is feeling better?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "It's a relief that you still care about my health. Physical illnesses can be cured, but mental illnesses can only be solved by the person who tied the bell."

She felt depressed whenever she thought of the day when the emperor ignored her illness and threatened to depose her as queen and asked her to go to Jingren Palace for negotiations.

When they arrived at Jingren Palace, the emperor questioned her in a cold voice, asking her whether she knew about the deposed empress's murder of concubines and royal heirs in the palace over the past decade or more, which must have involved many connections of the Ulanara and Uya families.

She couldn't help being frightened. The emperor was suspicious. No matter how she explained or argued, he must have already determined in his heart that she was deliberately covering up for the queen.

The mother-son relationship that had finally improved over the years thanks to Ye Bingshang, Luanyue and Hongxing became precarious because of this incident.

Ye Bingshang heard the hidden meaning of the Queen Mother's words, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Is the person who tied the bell the Queen Mother is talking about the Emperor, or the Ulanara family?"

"Or... Fourteenth Master?"

Three people, three options.

The Queen Mother had no reaction to what she heard before, but when she heard the word Fourteen, her pupils suddenly contracted and she said in a hurried tone: "Ahem, ahem! Old Fourteen, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Bingshang smiled secretly in her heart, knowing that the initiative of this conversation was in her hands.

She didn't rush to reply, but said something else: "Just now when Aunt Zhuxi came to Jingren Palace, she told me that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and wanted to see me for the last time."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was not surprised or puzzled, and was still looking at her with a slightly excited expression, she continued, "Your son is very anxious. I have been thinking all the way, who exactly does the Queen Mother want to see the most at this moment."

Hearing a heavy gasp from above, Ye Bingshang smiled and said, "I thought of many people. It was not until I stepped into Shoukang Palace that I finally remembered that the Queen Mother had another son in the Imperial Mausoleum."

"As a mother myself, I guess that the Empress Dowager would not bear to see her own flesh and blood wait for the rest of her life like a dead tree in the desolate imperial mausoleum."

Is it that you only have family in your heart and no son?

"Good, you're good." The Queen Mother watched her nod repeatedly, her expression a little angry. Having said that, what else was there that she didn't understand.

"When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. Now that you are the queen and the mother of the crown prince, the emperor hates me and Ulanara. Naturally, you don't have to serve me carefully anymore!"

Ye Bingshang raised her lips slightly and did not deny: "There is no need for the Queen Mother to say it so bluntly."

The Queen Mother was furious: "Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will be dissatisfied with you after knowing this? You should know that I am the Emperor's biological mother and your mother-in-law after all."

"Will the Empress Dowager know how to do that?" Ye Bingshang was not afraid at all.

Firstly, except for the ignored Concubine Duan, she had never stained her hands with human blood; secondly, as long as the empress dowager had not passed away, it would be impossible to awaken the mother-son love buried deep in Yinzhen's heart.

The Queen Mother also understood that it was impossible to ask Ye Bingshang to accept all her requests at this time, but she was also worried about the family honor and the fourteenth old man who was guarding the imperial mausoleum.

The Queen Mother put away her superior and compassionate expression and said solemnly, "Since you are willing to come to visit me and say such things, you must have some plans. Why don't we speak frankly?"

Ye Bingshang took the tea that Zhuxi brought over, took a sip, and then dropped a bombshell: "As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. I wonder if the Empress Dowager will choose the eldest son or the youngest son?"

"Queen!"

The one who screamed was Wu Ya Tian Huan. She covered her mouth and looked at Ye Bing Shang in horror, "Empress, you can't..."

The Queen Mother's eyes became sharp: "Zhu Xi, take Tian Huan away first. This child is young and can't stand it."

Zhu Xi was also frightened by Ye Bingshang's rebellious remarks and almost died on the spot. While calming his still violently beating heart, he obeyed the empress dowager's instructions.

Wu Ya Tianhuan refused to move before being taken away, but he was small and weak, so he could only be dragged away by Zhu Xi.

Seeing this, Ye Bingshang was certain in her heart that Wu Ya Tianhuan was the reincarnation of Shen Meizhuang. She was really good at reincarnation.

"Hongxing is not even five years old yet. The death of the emperor at this time will not benefit you or Hongxing. Why are you so anxious?"

The Queen Mother originally thought that Ye Bingshang was threatening her with the safety of the Fourteenth Prince, and was very angry about it. She never expected that Ye Bingshang would ask her to choose between the two. Isn't this regicide?

She actually underestimated Ye Bingshang after all!

The Queen Mother's eyes, which had originally been old and lifeless, once again sparkled with brilliance, revealing the power that the ultimate winner of the battle among the four concubines should have.

"You want to emulate Xiaozhuang and become the regent queen dowager."

Ye Bingshang was not frightened by the Queen Mother's sharp gaze, and still maintained her habitual smile on her face, as calm and composed as she was on the day when Prince Dun rebelled.

However, now she has become the one who wants to kill the king and rebel.

Ye Bingshang was puzzled: "Is the Queen Mother surprised by this?"

"The Empress Dowager should also know that as long as the Emperor is alive, the Fourteenth Master will have to guard the Emperor's mausoleum forever. If the Emperor lives to be a hundred years old, I'm afraid the Fourteenth Master will die of depression in a few years."

“……” The Queen Mother swallowed and remained silent.

Within a few years, the words "died of depression" undoubtedly hit the empress dowager's heart.

Thinking back to the times she mentioned the Fourteenth Prince indirectly, Yinzhen always turned hostile at the first opportunity. Even the red gold Hehe Ruyi hairpin that she had given to Ye Bingshang was broken by him taking advantage of the situation.

The Queen Mother looked Ye Bingshang up and down, and felt that nothing had changed about her, yet everything seemed to have changed. Ye Bingshang in front of her seemed like a stranger.
