After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Yuan Qing: "???"

She gritted her teeth and punched the wall, almost laughing out of anger, "This little jerk."

Others who travel through time all bring with them the memories of their original owners, and the plot goes smoothly and they are all super lucky all the way.

What about her?

When you encounter such an unreliable one, you have to pitifully guess the plot from the introduction and some character biographies.

Oh, let’s not talk about it…

"Qing'er?" A man suddenly called her name in the darkness.

Yuan Qing suddenly became alert and quietly opened his eyes.

Unfortunately, the person was standing in the dark, and the moonlight could not illuminate his face, so I couldn't see who he was.

There was nothing around him to defend himself, so Yuan Qing could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep while thinking of a strategy.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the man asked again: "Qing'er, are you awake?"

Listening to the footsteps, the man was getting closer and closer, and his warm palm was close to her cheek.

Unable to pretend any longer, Yuan Qing shrank back, looked at the shadow and said coldly: "Who are you and what are you going to do?"

The man suddenly froze, took back his hand and squatted in front of her. His bright eyes were deep and affectionate, looking at her tenderly, "Don't you recognize me?"

Then he said self-deprecatingly: "When I went to see you before, Lord Yuan said that you were not feeling well and not suitable for meeting guests, so Qing'er naturally didn't recognize me.

However, you should have heard of the name Wen Beixu."

Yuan Qing pretended to be surprised and said, "It turned out to be the prince."

The famous Regent of North City in the original book was named Wen Beixu.

He was picked up by the Dog Emperor's father in a border town, raised by him personally, and given the surname Wen, so he was extremely loyal to the Wen royal family.

The Dog Emperor therefore trusted him to hold military power and station him in the North City all year round.

Speaking of the relationship between the original owner and him, it was neither too much nor too little, just the stage before engagement, when their attitude was unclear.

Before the dog emperor issued an order to take the original owner as his concubine, he went to the prime minister's residence more diligently than anyone else.

Who in the entire capital doesn't know that the daughter of the Yuan family is the most likely person to become the Regent Princess?

Even Yuan Xiang had hinted to him many times to pay a betrothal gift and marry his daughter.

But Wen Beixu pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. He didn't say a word and kept the Yuan family hanging.

She didn't believe that Wen Beixu was unaware of the Dog Emperor's intentions towards the original owner.

Yuan Xiang understood this very well. He thought that the Regent was powerful enough and had a close brotherly relationship with the dog emperor. He was the only man in the capital who could protect the original owner, so he went to the Regent's house again and again to ask for help.

Ah--

While helping the dog emperor to bring down the Yuan family, he also took the opportunity to express his affection to the original owner and win the heart of the beauty.

If it was a girl like the original owner who was ignorant of the ways of the world, I'm afraid she would really be tricked by him.

By then, he will have the king's trust, the credit, and the beauty.

Killing three birds with one stone, this is a very clever plan.

He is worthy of being a powerful prince who has survived for many years under the dog emperor. His spirit of self-sacrifice for his brother is truly unique.

"What are you doing in prison, Your Highness?" Yuan Qing pulled his clothes tightly to hide his figure, and said in a flat voice, "Your Highness, have you forgotten who I am now?

I am just a criminal, and I am flattered that you would come to see me in person in a place like this."

Every word she said was full of thorns, which made Wen Beixu feel uneasy.

Although he pretended to be on good terms with Yuan Xiang, his feelings for Qing'er were genuine. He really wanted to marry Qing'er as his concubine and take care of her for the rest of his life.

The emperor's brother was always afraid of the Yuan family, and he had no choice but to...

Why doesn’t Qing’er understand his difficulties?

"Qing'er, listen to me. My brother has passed away, and you might lose your life if you stay in prison.

Come with me, follow me to North City, I will protect you for the rest of your life, believe me."

Yuan Qing was so cold that her whole body was numb and she couldn't move for a moment. She could only turn her head to avoid his hand.

If she hadn't just read the original owner's character profile, she might have been deceived by this man's deep affection and thought that the original owner had had such a relationship with him.

Is it popular to be self-admiring these days?

The refusal was too obvious. No matter how anxious Wen Beixu was, he could not go against her wishes and take her away by force.

What he wants is willingness, not coercion.

Yuan Qing suppressed the coldness and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? You want me to elope with you?"

How shameless is this guy?

The prime minister and his wife are still alive, the empress is still alive, and her cousin the legitimate prince is still alive. With so many strong legs, she doesn't want to hug them, but he still wants her to elope with him?

What do you think? !

If I really follow him, it will be a disaster.

The concubine of the previous emperor actually eloped with someone and fled for fear of punishment, which is an even more serious crime.

Are you determined not to stop until you drag all the Yuan family members into this trouble?

After she exposed the truth, Wen Beixu couldn't hold back his expression and took a step forward in a hurry.

"Isn't it?" Yuan Qing looked at him calmly, "According to the prince's plan, will you take me to the North City and hide me there for a while, and then change my name and live my life after the storm has passed?

The main wife and concubines must be listed in the royal jade book. I am guilty of a serious crime and my background is unknown, so I cannot even be a concubine. I can only be kept outside the palace temporarily, and then, because of my son's status as a mother, I can naturally live in the palace.

If I am too weak to have children, perhaps I will raise the children of other concubines under my name.

This not only fulfills my wish to become a mother, but also saves me from the pain of childbirth. After all, they are all your blood, Your Highness, so it doesn't matter who raises them.

Marry a virtuous and generous princess. As long as her position is stable, she will naturally not care about who the prince favors more.

Prince Zhan's mansion is far away in the North City. Even if it is discovered, it will be a few years later.

Your Highness has worked hard and made great contributions in guarding the North City. For this reason, the new emperor will turn a blind eye and find a reason to exonerate me.

At that time, she will be promoted to concubine, and the Yuan family will be cleared of all injustice and her father will be given the reputation of a loyal minister.

I am grateful to the prince, and from now on my heart will only hold the prince, I will abide by my duties, live in harmony with the princess and concubines, and manage the inner house and backyard together. "

She raised her eyes lazily, "My Lord, am I right?"

Wen Beixu staggered and looked at her in disbelief, "Qing'er, why do you think so? I didn't..."

Although most of these words are true, this is the only chance to save her. In the future, she will be well-fed and well-clothed, and will be the only one favored by me, and she will never be wronged.

Yuan Qing lay down against the haystack, his face showing an abnormal paleness, “Maybe these are not entirely correct, but they make the most sense.

In fact, there are still many things I want to say, but I just want to give each other some face because of the relationship between the prince and my father who served in the court together.

If the prince insists on taking me away, don't blame me for being harsh and unpleasant to the ear."

Wen Beixu was obviously a little anxious. Having said that, he no longer cared about etiquette and bent down to hug her.

Yuan Qing dodged to the side and suddenly felt a severe pain in his heart. He fell into the haystack, holding his chest, and his lips gradually turned blue.

Oh no, I was a little too emotional just now and it brought out the original owner’s illness.

Wen Beixu hurriedly took off his coat and wanted to put it on her.

Yuan Qing stretched out his hand to brush it away, trying to calm his breathing, and said: "If Your Majesty cares about... our old relationship, please... leave this place immediately, and pretend that you have never been here tonight..."

Wen Beixu clenched his fingers around his clothes, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.

She would rather die than let him get close to her. Qing'er hated him as well. However, the imperial decree was her brother's own decision and she could not disobey it at all.

"Don't be unreasonable. You will die if you continue like this!" Wen Beixu held her wrist firmly and covered her with clothes. "I'll take you to see a doctor."

"Miss!" A clear and bright young man's voice sounded in her ears.

Yuan Qing was surrounded by a faint fragrance in her daze. She unconsciously tightened her arms and buried her head in it to rub it.
