Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

After not seeing each other for three years, Shen Yuge looked a little older.

It’s not that time is unforgiving, but there are too many bad boys.

Only when she sees Lan Qiyan can she be herself again.

Lan Qiyan looked at his court robes soaked with tears and couldn't help but sigh, "Power really can change a lot of people."

"My original intention has changed. He and I have finally come to the point where we are disgusted with each other."

“Maybe we were wrong to expand.”

Shen Yuge shook his head, "That's right. Since I've done it, there's no such thing as a mistake."

Lan Qiyan patted her on the back and said, "Do you need my help? Just kill them."

Shen Yuge was amused and said, "You are stupid. If we do this, the civil and military officials will impeach us to death."

"Do you think I care what they think?"

"I don't care, but those are all run by children. If we offend them all, we will have to start all over again."

Lan Qiyan smiled and said, "I was just joking. There are more and more women in the palace now, and there are more and more children. Look at you, you have to be tough when you need to be tough. Why are you worrying so much? You have nothing to do. You are bullied by those women. You are just a dog relying on the power of others."

“Qi Yan, rest assured, I won’t let these children threaten my son’s position, and I won’t let those women threaten my position.”

"That's right. Don't always think about living in peace. It's impossible. Where there is a conflict of interest there will be disputes. If you don't fight, you will die miserably.

Their children are still young, so the threat is not great for now. The main reason now is that Chu Huai has made up his mind."

"After sitting for a long time, the emperor wanted to seek something else. Actually, let me tell you, I have never harmed a child, but several children have disappeared in the palace in the past three years, and I can't find the truth."

Lan Qiyan became interested, "Is there anything else you can't find?"

Shen Yuge sneered, "The things I couldn't find out were caused by someone deliberately making trouble. Fortunately, I stopped it in time and reported it to him. He didn't blame me, but do you think being here will prevent me from finding out the truth?"

Lan Qiyan had a bad feeling in her heart, but she couldn't tell Shen Yuge now because she didn't trust anyone in this palace.

Lan Qiyan scratched his head. "That may be because the concubines were not well taken care of. If they are pursued, they will not have a good ending. If we can't find out, don't investigate it. Otherwise, they will do something desperate if they are forced into a corner."

Shen Yuge looked at Lan Qiyan deeply and found that she didn't think much about it, so he felt relieved.

After coming out of the palace, Lan Qiyan called Yulin into the yard.

Yulin trotted along the way, "Mom, you're looking for me."

Lan Qiyan took out a handkerchief and asked him to wipe his sweat, "Drink some water and take a rest."

Yulin drank it all immediately and said, "The water in my mother's yard tastes better."

Lan Qiyan had a smile on his face. How could the fruit tea he bought with his own money not taste good?

"Sixth Brother, Mom wants to ask you something."

"Mom, you say."

"What happened in the palace in recent years?"

"Mom, do you want to hear about the former dynasty or the harem?"

"What do you say?"

Yulin knew that his mother's gossiping heart never stopped.

"It's been almost four years, and a lot has happened in the harem. The relationship between my father and mother is not very stable. Sometimes they reconcile and sometimes they quarrel.

Under such circumstances, more and more concubines in the palace became pregnant, but most of them gave birth to girls. Those who gave birth to princes became idiots, in the same condition as Chu Xuan.

Although no one said anything, rumors gradually spread that the queen mother was jealous and only allowed concubines to give birth to daughters, because the children would be disabled.

I wanted to investigate this matter and clear my mother's name, but she didn't want to. She said that the innocent are innocent, and my father didn't care about this matter."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, those foolish princes didn't live more than half a year, and three girls were lost during that time. My mother sent people to look for them, but found nothing."

"How is that possible? Even if you are brave enough, you won't go to the palace to take pictures of the princess."

"So I suspect that the concubines sent the children away because they were probably afraid that the children would not survive in the palace."

"Chu Huai still doesn't care?"

"Mom, they are just a few princesses. He has ten daughters in total. Do you think he cares about these three or two?"

"I was asking about his attitude. Does the disappearance of the child mean that the palace is an unsafe place and outsiders can come in and out?"

Yulin smiled bitterly, "Mom, I thought so at first, but later I found that I couldn't find anything. I had no clue. It seemed like someone was deliberately interfering with me and not letting me get to the truth."

"Have you checked your father and mother?"

"Mom, I have no way to check. Father and mother are surrounded by secret guards. I can fight one, but not three."

"What are these two doing?"

"I remember that father said he wanted to train several princesses for marriage. Did father keep all the missing princesses in captivity? Mother, do you know? They are all very beautiful. Those with average looks were kept."

Lan Qiyan is in a particularly messy state right now, and she needs to sort things out carefully.

"Son, wait for me to sort it out carefully. I always feel like something is wrong."

"What are you suspecting, mother?" In fact, he also had a suspicion, but he didn't dare to say it now because he was afraid of scaring his mother.

Lan Qiyan thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you think there will be another missing princess in the fourth year? Who is the most beautiful princess now?"

"It's a little princess born to Concubine Qi, who just turned 100 days old. She looks like a doll in a New Year painting. This is what Zhu'er told me. I have never seen her."

Lan Qiyan let Yulin come closer to her, whispered a few words in her ear, and then Yulin left.

Yangxindian

Chu Huai and Shen Yuge are playing chess.

A black figure suddenly appeared.

"emperor."

"Tell me about it."

"The princess returned to the mansion and started talking to the prince in the room. Because the windows and door were open, I couldn't get close to her. I could only vaguely hear her asking about the palace."

"Understood, let's go down."

Shen Yuge, a black man, blocked his way.

Chu Huai snorted, "You changed my son."

"No."

"Haha, you haven't changed in all these years."

"You've changed over the years."

"Yuge, you know me. Power is a good thing. I'm still young, so why should I give up my position?"

“No one asked you to give up your seat.”

"I want to live a long life. If she doesn't give me any method, I will do it my own way."

"She'll kill you if she finds out."

"Haha, she has too many weaknesses. She can't hit me. Otherwise, why do you think I would keep in touch with her? Why would I go to her to develop agriculture? She raised those children and built those places. If she dares to hit me, the price she pays will be even higher than mine."

Shen Yuge adjusted the chessboard without objecting. Lan Qiyan was too stupid and too easy to manipulate.
