This time, Xuanyuan Yuchuan tested the poison on himself, which made Hu Luanfei realize one thing, that is, instead of talking big all day long, it would be better to rush into the tiger's den and seek the truth.
As long as those people are afraid, the truth will naturally come to light.
After figuring out the problem, Hu Luanfei finally felt better and worked more vigorously.
The task of taking care of Xuanyuan Yuchuan was handed over to other young eunuchs. Hu Luanfei secretly called Xiao Lanzi and told him to get Nanny Guizhi's words.
He then rushed to the Cining Palace again, bringing some valuable gifts with him.
Le Yao hesitated to speak, Hu Luanfei glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Le Yao lowered her eyebrows and said calmly, "The Queen Mother forbids you to visit her. She said that you are pregnant and have offended the Queen Mother."
"Then I will go see the Queen."
Le Yao shook her head, "The Queen said the same thing."
"This is weird." Hu Luanfei looked unhappy, stroking her bulging belly and said coldly, "I'm actually worried that they might have hurt my child."
Feeling that something was wrong, Hu Luan went to the Cining Palace with a big belly, leaving Le Yao to inquire about other news around the cold palace.
The banquet in the Cining Palace was over, but the concubines were still waiting there. The sun in April became extremely hot at noon.
The red one is plump and the thin one is thin, with fragrant sweat dripping down.
Hu Luanfei arrived at the Cining Palace, but because the Empress Dowager had given an order, he could only wait and wander outside the door.
Many concubines saw her figure. Concubine De, who knew her well, came alone, frowning slightly, but still smiling: "The Queen Mother sympathizes with your health and does not need to come to wait for you. You should go back and rest. I and the concubines are here. If anything serious happens, I will send someone to notify you."
Hu Luan flew to the direction of the Queen Mother's bedroom and took a glance. "The Imperial Concubine is smart and knows why I'm here."
Concubine De said, "The Crown Prince is the Queen Mother's grandson. He only deposed an old slave. No matter how you look at it, I won't blame him directly."
As Concubine De walked, she held Hu Luanfei's hand and headed towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom. The palace guards looked at each other, and Concubine De glanced down at them, "Watch your mouth."
The palace maids lowered their eyes and stood guard obediently.
Concubine De took Hu Luanfei to sit under the window of the bedroom and watched the palace servants coming in and out quietly.
Inside the bedroom, the Queen Mother and the Empress talked about today and mentioned the case of Hu Cuiwei falling into the water.
It's actually a conspiracy.
Concubine De investigated a lot of things. Back then, Hu Cuiwei's favor was almost as great as that of the queen. If this trend continues, one day, she will stand beside Xuanyuan Li as a concubine.
The Queen Mother and the Empress were from the same clan, so naturally they would not allow anyone else to share their glory. However, the Empress had been childless for many years, so she had no choice but to turn her attention to other concubines.
The Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Li had conspired to adopt Xuanyuan Yuchuan to raise him. Xuanyuan Li chose to go along with the Queen Mother in order to keep Hu Cuiwei in the palace.
Maybe it was because A'niang was smart. She would rather fake her death with a bulging belly than stay in the palace.
Concubine De said that on the day when A Niang was buried, the Queen Mother sent people to guard the tomb for seven days and seven nights and refused to give up. But it was useless. A group of thieves killed all the grave guards and robbed the burial objects, and A Niang finally rested in peace.
The reason why the queen was scared when she saw the maple leaf bracelet was because Xuanyuan Li personally put the bracelet on her hand before her death.
The maple leaf bracelet was one of the few burial objects of A Niang.
Hu Luanfei really found it difficult to digest the news he heard. At dusk, Xiao Lanzi returned to the cold palace and told Hu Luanfei and Xuanyuan Yuchuan all the news he had heard. The content was similar to what he heard in the Cining Palace.
Hu Luanfei was unwilling to sit and wait for death at this moment, and she cut off the arms of the Queen's mother's family again with lightning speed. She did not let go of any of the names written in the booklet.
While she was busy, Xuanyuan Li was also busy. Impeachments one after another poured into the Yangxin Palace. Everyone in the former dynasty was in danger. Officials who had connections with the queen's mother's family severed their ties and cleared themselves of all guilt.
Xuanyuan Li issued an edict to deprive the queen's mother's family of the right to engage in business, and the escort agency that had dominated Beiqiu for decades collapsed overnight.
"The third royal brother has been very restless recently." Xuanyuan Yuchuan drank the spiritual spring given by Hu Luanfei, and his body recovered as before, and even the scars on his face slowly disappeared.
He found it curious, but did not ask.
After Hu Luanfei wiped out the Queen's mother's family, she planned to return to Taohua Village. Xuanyuan Yuchuan's words made her hesitate, "If the third prince becomes a stumbling block to your ascension to the throne, you..."
"I have no intention of becoming a king. If he wants to, the throne will be left to him."
Hu Luanfei raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Supreme power can decide whether a person stays or leaves. Now A Niang is still on the run. If you give up the throne, when someone else ascends the throne, the first thing they will do is to get rid of you, and then continue to hunt down A Niang."
Xuanyuan Yuchuan lowered his head and thought, then reached out and gently scratched Hu Luanfei's bulging belly, "I just want to see you and mother be well..."
"Then don't be indecisive. The Third Prince is playing the pig to eat the tiger. You can't let your guard down. You must put yourself first. Don't show any sympathy to anyone or anything that threatens you. Emotions are always the biggest drag on people."
Xuanyuan Yuchuan said: "I know my limits."
After staying in Beiqiu Palace for quite some time and finding out the movements of Concubine Shu and the Third Prince, Hu Luanfei returned home.
When they were about to set off on the day, the nanny beside the queen came to ask for permission, saying that the queen wanted to see her.
Ever since the Queen's mother's family collapsed, Xuanyuan Li originally wanted to depose the Queen, but due to the Queen Mother's strong dissuasion, he found a compromise to keep the Queen's position.
Hu Luanfei naturally didn't want to go and see her, but the nanny said that the queen was seeking death and would not be able to close her eyes if she couldn't see her.
The Fengyi Palace is now deserted compared to the past.
When Hu Luan arrived, there were only three or two maids serving in Fengyi Palace.
The queen was no longer as glamorous as usual, and was dressed very simply.
When Hu Luan flew in, a ray of sunlight happened to shine on her. The queen was sitting in front of the couch, flipping through her former child's clothes. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she slowly raised her head and looked towards the door.
"You really are Hu Cuiwei. Even the way you walk is something I hate."
The Queen put down the red baby clothes and her eyes fell on Hu Luanfei's belly. "When you were pregnant with Chuan'er, you were as slim as you are today. No wonder His Majesty likes you so much."
The queen had experienced many ups and downs in her mother's family, and was probably hurt. She was in a daze and could not recognize who was who.
Hu Luanfei sat upright on a chair, and the nanny served him a cup of fruit tea. Hu Luanfei only asked the queen one question: "What hatred or grudge do you have with Concubine Hu that would make you want to kill her?"
"Are you playing dumb with me?" The queen chuckled. "You are relying on your pregnancy to gradually win over the power. The former court and the harem are all helping you. If you give birth to a dragon child in the future, won't my position as queen be yours?"
