My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

"Your Majesty, I welcome you!"

At this moment, a person who looked like a palace maid suddenly ran over in a panic at the fork in the road. Seeing the scene here, she was stunned at first, and then immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, this road is blocked. Let me take you around this way!"

The prince and the others who were enjoying the sight said: ...

The palace maid walked back a few steps, then looked back at this place, as if she recognized Crown Prince Xiao Yuche. She put her hands behind her back and made a few gestures, meaning to tell them to leave quickly.

Xiao Yuche paused, then gestured for the two eunuchs to retreat first, and then he fled with a few young men from aristocratic families who were like frightened birds. Their speed was even faster than that of a rabbit.

Xiao Yuzhi was left alone lying on the wet ground.

After a while, Xiao Yuzhi seemed to hear footsteps coming from afar. The steps were very light and he could roughly tell that it was a woman.

Then, he heard a heavenly voice ringing in his ears:

"Sixth Prince, are you okay?"

In a trance, Xiao Yuzhi seemed to hear his mother's long-lost voice. Tears suddenly rolled down his face, and he weakly called out, "Mother...you are finally here..."

"Mother, my son is in so much pain..."

After all, he is just a six-year-old child who has been in a bullying environment for a long time. His spirit has always been in a tense state. Seeing that someone cares so much at this moment, he can't help but break down.

Without saying a word, Xiao Yuzhi threw himself into Qiu Ning's arms.

That’s right, this palace maid was played by Qiu Ning.

She first asked Yueya to find out the location of the prince's residence, and waited here for two days, and finally waited for the Sixth Prince. But she didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as she arrived.

Judging from the tone of the Crown Prince and others, this is probably not the first time they have bullied the Sixth Prince.

"Sixth Prince, I am just a palace maid in the Crime Bureau, not the Imperial Concubine." Qiu Ning tried to wake Xiao Yuzhi up.

After hearing this, the other person raised his head from her arms and looked at Qiu Ning with his little face tilted up.

Only then did Qiu Ning realize that the little guy was surprisingly pretty, with red lips, white teeth, and a pair of big, wet eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Qiu Ning couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

"Then were you sent by Mother to pick me up? They told me that Mother is dying. Can you take me to see her?"

"I really miss her."

It was naturally impossible for Qiu Ning to take Xiao Yuzhi to see Concubine Wan, as that was the cold palace. Moreover, the Sixth Prince had been ordered not to leave the palace without an imperial decree.

But she couldn't tell the bloody truth directly to a six-year-old child.

So she tried to soften her voice and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. The Queen is just ill and is recuperating. She will be well soon and will be reunited with the Sixth Prince and his mother."

Xiao Yuzhi obviously didn't believe Qiu Ning's words and asked doubtfully, "Really? But they said that my mother was banished to the cold palace and will never be able to come out again."

"That's because the queen has been waiting for an opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Xiao Yuzhi asked with his big eyes.

Qiu Ning smiled gently and asked instead, "Sixth Prince, do you know what it means to survive from a desperate situation and bounce back from the bottom?"

Xiao Yuzhi thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "I know. The Master taught me that when a person is in a desperate situation with no hope, he suddenly finds a chance to survive and is saved from despair."

Qiu Ning reached out and stroked Xiao Yuzhi's head. He didn't dislike him because of the smell on his body. He said firmly, "That's right, Sixth Prince is very smart. Your Majesty is now in a desperate situation. It seems that there is no chance, but as long as she refuses to admit defeat and give up, she will definitely return to her original position. The Sixth Prince also hopes to be reunited with Your Majesty as soon as possible, right?"

Xiao Yuzhi nodded heavily and asked, "I dream about it, but what can I do to help my mother?"

Qiu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Why don't the Sixth Prince draw a picture for the Empress?"

Xiao Yuzhi: ...

……

The next morning, a ray of golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and enveloped the entire imperial city.

Ye Ting Palace.

When the last flame on the candlestick burned out, Wan Rongyue just closed the book in his hand and sat quietly in front of the window, unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, the maid Qingye came in with a tray. She glanced in the direction of the candlestick and said, "Your Majesty has been reading this book for three days straight. What if you damage your eyes?"

"I don't know whether Qiu Ning did it intentionally or not, but knowing that you were in poor health, he still sent you books. This has only made you become obsessed with them. If this continues, it won't be good for your recovery."

Aoba's face was filled with worry.

But Wan Rongyue suddenly smiled with an extremely charming smile, and her whole body was as vibrant as the morning light.

When Qingye looked up, she happened to catch the smile on her queen's face and she was stunned.

As far as she could remember, she couldn't remember how long it had been since the Empress laughed like this. It seemed like it had been since she entered the palace, but it also seemed like it had been even longer. She couldn't remember clearly.

Qingye's only feeling was that the Empress' smile was even more beautiful than the most gorgeous peony blooming in the imperial garden. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as breathtaking.

"Empress..." Qingye couldn't help but call out.

Wan Rongyue stood up and looked towards the Imperial City, but asked an unrelated question: "Qingye, what kind of legend would it be for a woman to ascend the throne and command all the officials?"

Qingye's heart suddenly skipped a beat as he thought of the book Qiu Ning had given him, The Biography of the Empress of Daqian.

woman**! Empress!

Oh my god, the Queen is not thinking...

Qingye thought this idea was too crazy, and hurriedly said with a look of surprise, "Your Majesty, those are just stories made up in picture books. In fact, since ancient times, this is completely unique."

Besides, I am still in this cold palace, where even food and clothing have become luxuries.

Qingye felt that his wife had been led astray by this book and had developed hysteria.

Wan Rongyue seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and suddenly asked, "Do you also think I'm hysterical and having unrealistic thoughts?"

Qingye's eyes suddenly widened, and she said nervously, "My Lady, this servant..."

Qingye was speechless for a moment. She didn't know how to explain. This idea was too dangerous and too crazy. It was not something a maid like her could answer.

Wan Rongyue lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I was just speaking from my heart. You don't really think I would have such a crazy idea, do you?"

Even if you have this idea, you have to proceed step by step. No one can speak of it until you are absolutely sure.

Just like Wu Meiniang in the story, she served two generations of emperors, ascended the throne herself, and even killed her own children in order to eliminate dissidents.

Since love is gone, why not fight for your rights?

Do I really have to wait for death in this cold palace, be hastily buried in a broken coffin, not even have a clean reputation after death, and be scolded as the evil concubine who seduced the country?
