In fact, how could she want to continue being the queen? She had already given up everything and didn't want anything.
Qi Sili's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glanced at the woman who had accompanied him for many years, "Li Sheng, send the queen back to the palace."
The queen knelt calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I don't need it anymore. I only hope that these few years can be exchanged for a grace."
There was total silence in the hall.
Qi Sili looked at her indifferently and detachedly, and said a few words coldly, "Sparing your life is already a special favor."
The Queen stared at Qi Sili for a long time. Her actions finally worried Yuling who was kneeling beside her. "Cousin, the Emperor is so kind. Why don't you kneel down and thank him for his grace?"
The queen remained silent, her bottomless eyes as calm as an ancient well.
This was never what she wanted.
But it was retribution after all.
If you are an unfaithful person, you have to accept the damage brought by the dart you once threw that turns into a boomerang.
She only wanted wealth and glory, and did not ask for a trace of true love. She knelt before the Buddha every day and finally regretted it. She thought that her love for the ancient Buddha and her conversion to Buddhism were all self-deception.
What she wants is for her family to prosper.
What she wanted was the emperor's favor.
It's a pity that after the Queen Mother fell, she lost her support and was no longer the respected queen. Instead, she became a powerless person who had lost her family, status, and favor. She was still a queen, but not a queen.
Over the years, she has helped to plead for many people, thinking that she could gain the true love of the concubines in the harem.
Now, no one is willing to help her except Yuling.
Sure enough, people's hearts are fickle, just like she did before, cruelly abandoning the people who loved her for power and wealth.
She looked at Yuling, the innocent girl, with pleading eyes shining brightly. Like herself, she had lost the support of her family. How could she move forward smoothly in this cannibalistic harem?
Relying on the emperor's temporary favor? No, it is unreliable.
"Ling'er, do you want your cousin to be alive?"
Yuling's eyelashes fluttered, "Of course I hope my cousin is alive. In this huge capital city, I only have you and my mother left."
The queen smiled bitterly and stroked Yuling's black hair affectionately, her eyes full of love.
Children who grow up in a honey pot are always sweet.
"Then would you like your cousin to accompany you?"
Yuling's eyes lit up, and she hugged her arms tightly like a little child and acted coquettishly, "Cousin, you are so kind."
Then, the queen buried her head on the cold palace bricks and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Qi Sili just said "hmm" and didn't say anything else, but his expression couldn't hide his fatigue and relief.
The queen slowly stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, raised her eyes and looked at Qi Sili, "I'll take my leave."
As she turned around and left, her eyes glanced at Qi Siliao and Hu Luanfei vaguely. She could no longer get anything from that man.
Only the deep palace backyard is silent and unknown.
"Aren't you going to see the Queen off?" The Queen stole a glance at Qi Siliao with a shimmering look in her eyes. Hu Luanfei was busy observing the two of them.
Qi Si Liao raised his eyes not too late, and happened to meet the queen's smart and misty eyes, "Forget it, it only adds to my troubles."
"We were lovers, so let's part ways in peace."
Qi Siliao looked at her in surprise, with a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.
Hu Luanfei still saw all these expressions on his face, "Your Highness, please speak up if you want to."
"This king and you have been married for several years and have a son together."
"Yes, and then what?"
Qi Siliao's eyes gradually turned cold, "Our relationship is not that deep."
"Yeah, indeed."
Qi Siliao: “…”
Hu Luanfei knew her own limitations. Her husband, Qi Siliao, was young, promising, and powerful.
Everyone envied her for marrying a good husband, giving birth to a prince, and securing her position as a princess. Although there were concubines in the palace, Qi Si Liao only favored her.
As time goes by, her husband is still like a piece of fat meat, coveted by countless women.
Even the queen, the master of the six palaces, could not forget him.
"Hu Luanfei, don't you have a heart?"
While enjoying the food, Qi Si Liao asked her with gritted teeth. She looked back and met his horribly red eyes. In a flash, the banquet was not over yet, and the cake was still in her mouth. This guy was like a madman, and he picked her up in front of all the guests.
The unexpected action made her feel so embarrassed that she felt ashamed. "Are you crazy? Put me down!"
"No, I have decided. After ten months, the whole country will welcome the eldest daughter of Prince Zhan's mansion."
"what?"
The King of War had few children, so he married a princess and took two beautiful concubines, but he had only one son.
Upon hearing the news that the War King was planning to have a second child, the guests applauded without hesitation. Qi Sili said directly, "Ten months later, I will personally name the War King's daughter!"
"I don't agree!" Hu Luanfei was trapped in Qi Siriao's arms with a red face.
But no matter whether she agreed or not, everyone just watched them smiling sweetly and drinking from their glasses.
In this world, there is no impenetrable wall, and every palace wall in the capital city tells unknown secrets to the outside world.
A few days after Yuling was promoted, she visited Prince Zhan's Mansion in disguise. Now Prince Zhan's Mansion is crowded with people every day.
Those relatives and colleagues who had little contact with him in the past, and who seldom visited him, were like wild flowers in the spring breeze, blowing and falling one after another in the courtyard of Prince Zhan's mansion.
With the fall of the Empress Dowager, Hu Luanfei became even more proud, as if the industry managed by the Empress Dowager's relatives was right in front of her, and she was determined to get this royal industry that was vacant and had no one in charge.
But this requires some strategy.
The person she wanted to please recently was Yuling, who had secretly run away.
As Yuling's period was getting further, the palace sent a nanny over in the afternoon.
From food, clothing, housing and transportation to speech and behavior, Yuling was on edge all the time. The nanny kept talking, so Hu Luanfei had no chance to get close to Yuling. She kept talking and following the rules, and the speaker was not tired, but the listener was exhausted.
Hu Luanfei was upset and depressed, and couldn't help but have many bad thoughts in his mind. Sometimes he asked the nanny to serve tea and water, and sometimes he asked the nanny to catch bees and butterflies.
Yuling originally ran away from the palace because there were too many restrictions in the palace. Her whereabouts were discovered by Qi Sili, who sent a nanny to come. She didn't want to stay in Prince Zhan's mansion anymore.
Until the nanny was so tired that she collapsed under the eaves and fanned herself with an embroidered handkerchief, Hu Luanfei quietly pulled Yuling out the back door and ran out to the street, "Sister, I beg you to do me a favor."
Seeing that something was missing in Yuling's hair, Hu Luanfei exchanged a red agate hairpin from the space and it appeared in his hand. He inserted it into Yuling's hair in a good mood.
Yuling blinked her eyelashes and raised her hand to gently stroke the agate hairpin. Just when she was about to ask what was going on, Hu Luanfei impatiently approached her and whispered, "The Royal Escort Agency that your family used to be in charge of is now vacant and has no one in charge. I was wondering if you could help me put in a few good words for the prince in front of Qi Sili."
Yuling frowned, "Sister Luanfei is flattering me. I can't say anything in front of the emperor."
