The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

The two finished their meal while laughing and joking. The sky gradually darkened and the two snuggled up to each other, not feeling so lonely and scared anymore.

Qi Yejing asked her again about what happened in Yun Mansion.

"When my stepmother took Yun Fulan and me out when I was a child, we met a master who said that I might have a hard time in the first ten years or so, but when I reach the age of marriage, I will marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a life of wealth and glory."

It was for this reason that her scumbag father and stepmother sent her to the palace, because they knew that once she entered the palace, whether she was willing or not, she would be able to rescue Yun Fulan from the cold palace.

Wait for Yun Fulan to come out, kill her, and then step on her corpse to climb to the highest position.

When she was just reborn, Yun Zhining was full of resentment and wanted to stab her scumbag father, stepmother and Yun Fulan to death with a knife.

But now she is climbing higher and higher, Yun Fulan is dead, and the future of the Yun family can only rely on Yun An. Yun's father and Madam Yun are afraid of angering An, let alone bullying her, even if they try to curry favor with her, so the resentment in Yun Zhining's body gradually dissipated.

She knew very well that the higher she climbed and the more secure her position became, the more miserable Father Yun and Madam Yun would live.

If that's the case, then why should she do it herself?

Anyway, there are many people who dislike them, so wouldn't it be better to kill them with a borrowed knife?

"It turns out that the master is really capable. I entered the palace, met the emperor, gave birth to your children, and met several sisters who treated me very well. The eldest and second princes were also very cute. I really enjoyed chatting and playing with them."

"There are also two queen dowagers."

"Although Empress Dowager Xiaoyan looks stern as her name suggests, she understands the hearts of women in the palace. She knows how difficult it is for us and is considerate of our difficulties. As long as we don't make big mistakes, she will never hold it against us."

"And Empress Dowager Xiaoci is an even more wonderful person."

"Although she is old, she is like a child, very childish, loves to play, and often acts like a scoundrel, which makes me and Queen Dowager Xiaoyan very angry, and then she comes over to coax us."

"Although I encountered some unpleasant things during the three years since I entered the palace, overall, these were the happiest days of my life."

"So, every night before I go to bed and every morning after I wake up, I will pray to the Buddha to bless you, the two queen mothers, Sister Qi, Sister Zhou, Sister Lin, Sister An, Sister He, and Baozhu with good health and a long life."

"May the little grape, the little strawberry, the little pomelo, the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the second princess, and the fifth prince all grow up safely, and become filial children to share the worries of the emperor."

"I also hope that they can meet someone they love in the future and live happily together for the rest of their lives."

"If it's really possible, I'm willing to exchange twenty years of my life for it."

"Silly girl, why are you so innocent and kind?"

Facing Qi Yejing's gaze, Yun Zhining smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. As the saying goes, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. I also have my own selfish desires, and I will not be so stupid as to use my life as an exchange to bless those annoying people to rise step by step and live a long life."

Qi Yejing had seen countless gazes in his life, but he had never seen a gaze clearer than Yun Zhining's.

Regardless of whether what she said before was true or false, at this moment, he believed that what Yun Zhining said was true. She was really willing to sacrifice twenty years of her life in exchange for him living a hundred years without worries or fears.

However, it is unknown whether she did this because she wanted him to protect her children and ensure their safety throughout their lives, or because she cared about him and did not want to see him get hurt in the slightest. Even if he just frowned, she would feel heartbroken.

But it doesn't matter, he will have a chance to verify it soon.

If what Yun Zhining said was from the heart without any lies, he promised to help her rise to higher positions and stay high above others for the rest of her life, and no one would dare to bully her, not even the queen.

But if she dared to deceive him, there would be only one outcome waiting for her.

When he thought of this, Qi Yejing's eyes became dark.

But Yun Zhining just kept staring at him and smiling foolishly, as if she didn't sense the danger.

As the night deepened, the two fell into a deep sleep.

"emperor!"

"Someone come, someone come quickly, the emperor is here!"

Early in the morning, Yun Zhining was still sleeping on Qi Yejing's shoulder when she heard a sound of surprise. She quickly opened her eyes and saw Cheng Qi waving at her excitedly.

She felt relieved and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Great, Your Majesty, you really didn't lie to me. They came early in the morning."

There is strength in numbers. Not only did they bring Yun Zhining and Qi Yejing up, but even Brother Ma was not left behind.

A group of people walked in the quiet forest, the atmosphere was so quiet that it was a bit eerie.

The joy she felt at the beginning when she saw Cheng Qi disappeared in an instant. For some reason, Yun Zhining always felt that something was going to happen.

Moreover, this scene seemed somewhat similar to the dream she had last night.

Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and her body was feeling more and more uncomfortable.

Yun Zhining was worried and didn't pay attention. She stepped on empty air and with a "click", she sprained her ankle.

Qi Yejing quickly helped her sit down.

"Look at you. You don't look at the road when you walk. What are you thinking about? Fortunately, I am here. Otherwise, what would you do alone?"

Yun Zhining pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing that she was silent, Qi Yejing was both angry and amused.

"Why, you did something wrong, and you won't let anyone tell you?"

"I didn't, I just..."

Before he could finish his words, Yun Zhining pushed him away.

An arrow fell in front of the two of them, with the tail still trembling.

Qi Yejing turned around quickly and looked at the man who shot the arrow, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Oh it's you!"
