The maidservant standing by looked at the ants climbing the tree with helplessness. She didn't know why the queen was so calm. It was just a pot of boiling water, how could she drink it so elegantly?

The situation is very critical now, but the Queen is not in a hurry at all. The queens from other palaces come to ridicule them all day long, but the Queen still greets them with a smile. She can't understand why.

"Cuizhi." Yu Shu saw that her maid looked sad, so she called out.

What is she smoking? She has been thinking about this since the first day she entered the palace.

As a human being, you always have ups and downs.

Cuizhi stood up hurriedly, "My lady, give me your orders."

"Come and have some tea."

Cuizhi rubbed her stomach, feeling very uncomfortable, "My Queen, I drank so much, look, I'm about to explode."

"Okay, if you don't drink it, I'll drink it myself." This girl, I really don't understand.

"Oh my God, where are we now? Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Follow me and learn my calmness. How can you practice if your Tao heart is not stable?"

"My queen, we are now in the cold palace. The food delivered to us every day is rotten. How can we practice like this?"

"Why can't we practice? Don't be impatient. They are fighting to the death now. We have finally hidden ourselves. You still want to go out and fight? You should bide your time now, don't you know?"

"Your Highness, don't you miss the young master? The young master has never suffered any hardship, and you and the queen have always been at odds. What if she treats the young master badly or abuses him? The young master is fair and tender. What if he loses weight? Your Highness, I feel sorry for him, so why don't you feel sorry for him?"

"Don't worry, Cuizhi, he is having a lot of fun now. You don't understand him. Even though he is young, he is full of tricks and you can't beat him.

And the Queen will not embarrass him at this time. It is precisely because of that boy that the Emperor goes to the Queen every day. This is his only child. "

Cuizhi seemed to have figured out some things, but was still a little confused. However, the queen had already closed her eyes and taken a nap, so she didn't dare to ask more.

As Yushu said, her son Chu Zheng was indeed very happy. He even forgot that his biological mother was still staying in the cold palace. His mother was too unrespectful and didn't even take him to the cold palace to play. The queen was too old-fashioned and had too many rules. He didn't like it here at all.

As a result, he had to find ways to entertain himself. All day long, he either caught eunuchs riding horses or played hide-and-seek with palace maids.

The performance of a disloyal, heartless and treacherous playboy was very lifelike.

Even the queen didn't want to be sincere to him anymore, because this child was hard to raise, and a child who was hard to raise couldn't be treated with sincerity, because when he grew up, he would get nothing in return.

Although Concubine Shu was not nice to other people, she loved this child very much. However, ever since Concubine Shu was banished to the cold palace, this child has never mentioned her once.

This made her feel chilled, and even more frightened. If she didn't treat him well, he would hold a grudge against her. If she treated him well, it seemed that she would not gain any benefit. So, it would be even better if the emperor could take him away.

She also mentioned it in a roundabout way, but the emperor didn't think about it at all. He simply served him with good food and drink. She claimed to be sick and hid in the palace, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

As soon as the queen fell ill, the other concubines no longer needed to pay their respects. While one was in the cold palace and the other two were sick, they tried every means to attract the emperor's attention, hoping to have a child of their own.

But there was no sign of pregnancy, and some people even started taking fertility drugs.

The fertility-enhancing drugs were indeed effective. In just half a month, news came out that several concubines were pregnant.

Yulin was overjoyed and specially showed great appreciation to the six palaces.

The only one not mentioned was the one in the cold palace.

At this time, Yuze secretly returned to Beijing, and Yuqi stayed behind to guard the city.

Lan Ranzhi was surprised and happy when she saw Yu Ze.

The two of them simply chatted for a while before getting down to business. Lan Ranzhi recounted what had happened in the capital during this period.

After hearing this, Yuze fell into deep thought.

Lan Ranzhi did not interrupt him, but poured the tea slowly, afraid that any noise would disturb his thoughts.

After about a cup of tea, Yuze regretted coming back, "Madam, I came back too early."

Lan Ranzhi was also a little confused, "What did my husband say?"

"Dad and my younger sister have their own plans. It can even be said that my younger sister and mom have their own plans. My return will disrupt their plans. I will go back now."

Lan Ranzhi looked outside and said, "It's broad daylight now, you should leave in the evening."

Yuze also took a look outside and said, "Okay, let's go after dark. Go call Yun'er and I'll make some arrangements."

"Yun'er has already gone to the Northern Frontier. Didn't he send you a message?"

"No, when did he send me a message? If he had sent me a message, I wouldn't have come back."

Lan Ranzhi panicked, "Impossible, he said he sent you a message half a month ago, didn't you receive it?"

Yuze was very serious, "No, I'll leave now and go to Northern Xinjiang first. You guys stay at home and take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, as long as you and your son are fine, nothing will happen to us."

"Where are Shen'er and Yan'er?"

"They were all sent out by the Emperor, saying they were going on a secret visit on his behalf."

"Haha, he really knows how to order people around. The tasks assigned to us four people are life-threatening. He is really cruel."

It would have been better if he didn't say it. Once he said it, Lan Ranzhi couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't keep any of her three sons and sent them all away. Now she didn't know what their situation was.

Yu Ze was already irritable, and when Lan Ranzhi cried like that, he didn't even have the heart to comfort her.

"Don't cry, it's nothing. If you cry like this, someone who doesn't know will think something happened in our family."

"Pah, pah, pah, you crow mouth, can you please stop saying such things? Our family will definitely be healthy."

"Hehe, it's still unclear who will live and who will die, so just stay at home and watch over them."

"Husband, are the children really okay?"

"It's okay. At least we are safe now. I have already told Feng Qi that we will stop fighting for three months to recuperate. At least we are safe during these three months. Don't worry, our parents will not let us die."

Lan Ranzhi was overjoyed, "Really?"

"You mean Mother has forgiven us?"

"I don't know whether you forgive me or not, but I know we can't die."

Lan Ranzhi wiped away her tears instantly. Why was she still crying? What she had to consider now was how to ask for her mother's forgiveness.

When Yuze saw that he had coaxed the person into submission, he thought it was time for him to leave.

Lan Ranzhi still held him back, "Husband, do you want to go see dad and your two brothers?"

"I can't go. His spies are all there. If I go, won't I be caught in a trap?"

"So you're just leaving like that?"

"Well, I'll be leaving soon."
