Chapter 924 Someone Wants to See You

Of course Meng Yan knew that as long as Yin Heng didn't make any changes, the emperor would treat their children well.But once they have any idea, the child will become the first bargaining chip.

The emperor will not let them retreat unscathed, he will firmly control King Yin Wu until he dies.

Meng Yan's expression was cold and gloomy, and the nuns had rarely seen her described like this, so they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

She thought, the most urgent thing is to find a way to let the two golden cicadas escape their shells smoothly.

Soon, Chongyi came back and said: "Xu Shenfang is waiting for news from the princess at any time."

After a pause, Chongyi said again: "There is one more thing, I didn't have time to tell the princess last night."

It was already very late when I got home last night, and Meng Yan took care of the two to wash and sleep, and it was not the time to report, so Chongyi has been restrained until today.

Meng Yan looked up at her, and she said, "Xie Chuying, she drowned in the well a few days ago."

Both Meng Yan and Yan'er were slightly taken aback.

No wonder I didn't see her at the palace banquet last night.

Chongyi said: "I have inquired about it, she was eight months pregnant, and she died twice. The emperor asked her to be buried in the imperial tomb, and no one in the harem can discuss it."

Yan'er was shocked and said: "She definitely didn't jump into the well by herself. Seeing that the child is about to be born, how could she go to the well?"

I also know that this must not be the result of Xie Chuying's own choice.

If the emperor didn't want her child to be born, he should have done it long ago, just aborting the child, so why should she die.This should not be the emperor's handwriting.

As for the Empress Dowager, she was looking forward to having a prince with the blood of the Xie family all day long; after the child was born, the Empress would also become the child's aunt. No matter for the Empress Dowager or the Empress, this was not a bad thing.

But if these three people are unlikely to do anything, who else in the harem has the guts?

Unless there is some unknown secret in it, the secret that Xie Chuying had to die.

Meng Yan had no way of knowing this secret, so she stopped thinking about it.

Meng Yan's deepest impression of Xie Chuying was still at the palace banquet that year, when she used dance to paint and won applause from all the halls.

She is a veritable talented woman with excellent appearance. If she hadn't a heart higher than the sky, she should be matched with a good husband and spend her life in love.

Now, it can only make people sigh.

***
The queen mother copied scriptures and recited Buddhist scriptures every day in the palace.

After Xie Chuying's matter came to light, the empress sent people around her to bring a lot of beauty and health-enhancing things, and greeted the empress dowager, and said kindly: "The empress is always thinking about the empress dowager's body, but the affairs of the harem are busy. I can’t get away and come and see the Queen Mother in person.”

The queen mother said: "The queen has a lot of things to do, so you don't have to worry about Aijia."

The chief eunuch smiled and said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compassion. In the future, if there is any need for Empress Dowager, just send someone to convey a message to Empress Empress. Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry about anything, just spend her life in the palace. Empress Empress said, if If the queen mother still worries about everything like before, it will make the queen mother suffer."

Until the head eunuch resigned, the queen mother stopped talking.

Her face was wrinkled, and she looked older.

A deep sense of exhaustion suddenly appeared in my heart, and I was indeed old.

The plot of Prince Peace fell into the Queen's hands. The Queen wanted to empty her, so that she would only be a useless old woman in the harem.

If it was in the past, the queen mother would definitely give the queen some color, but now she doesn't have so much strength.

Later, she did not go to the royal banquet.

It's just that I heard that a pair of children from Prince Yinwu's mansion were also taken into the palace. According to the emperor's will, they will study in the Tai Academy in the future.

The Empress Dowager asked the nurse beside her, "What do those children look like? The Ai family has never seen them before."

The nanny replied: "It is said that she is exquisite and translucent, very beautiful."

The queen mother sighed: "Meng Yan's children have grown up in the blink of an eye."

It was night, and the queen mother worshiped the Buddha in the Buddhist hall.

Mammy came in and said, "Queen Mother, someone wants to see you."

The sound of the queen mother knocking on the wooden fish stopped.Mammy stepped forward and whispered something in her ear.

The Empress Dowager said: "It's really unprecedented that Ai's family can wait for him to come to Ai's family on his own initiative."

After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes, continued to strike the wooden fish while flicking the Buddhist beads, and chanted Buddhist scriptures with her mouth opening and closing.

After chanting, it was already dark outside.

There is a desolate cold palace in the harem, where weeds are overgrown and no one is there.

A person wearing a black cloak, with a nun holding a lamp by his side, quietly went to this cold palace, opened the door and entered.

The door of the cold palace opened slowly, and the creaking sound sounded extremely cold.

The lantern in Mammy's hand was dimly lit, and the scene inside was full of desolation.

There has been no one living in this cold palace for a long time.

It's just that when he looked closely, there was already a person standing in the courtyard, his figure was desolate and desolate, surrounded by weeds and grass, which seemed to be inexplicably harmonious.

The queen mother raised her hand and lifted the hood of the cloak, revealing an old face, looking at the figure.

He also turned around slowly, facing the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "King Yin Wu."

Yin Heng looked at her silently.His expression was calm, his brows and eyes were unwavering, and he had a sense of inviolability.

With the support of the nanny, the queen mother walked towards him step by step, then passed by him, and walked to the eaves of the cold palace.

Mammy went into the long-abandoned hall and found a chair for the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said: "In the past, when the Ai family wanted to win King Yin Wu to be the son-in-law of the Xie family, King Yin Wu was unmoved. Now that the two families are in conflict, it is really strange that King Yin Wu came to the door in person."

Yin Heng said indifferently: "I have no intention of being Xie's son-in-law, but it's not too late for the two families to win over."

The queen mother's expression changed, and she couldn't help but look up at Yin Heng.But she immediately concealed the surprise in her eyes, and there was a slight hale and hearty light in her eyes.

The queen mother smiled and said: "The Ai family thinks, if it weren't for those two children, King Yin Wu would never have made such a move." Then she sighed, "The majestic King Yin Wu of the Great Yin Kingdom was killed by a woman in the end." Getting tangled up with two children, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Yin Heng said in an ordinary tone: "For the Queen Mother, it will never be a bad thing."

The Empress Dowager said: "If the Ai family still thinks of harming the two children or Meng Yan for their own selfishness, then King Yin Wu will have nothing to worry about."

Yin Heng said: "They are indeed my concerns, just like the entire Xie family is also the Empress Dowager's concerns."

The Empress Dowager has been scheming for so many years, but she just wants to see the Xie family's foundation become more stable and deep under her protection. Even if the throne changes in the future, no one can shake it.It's just that after these years, the more she persisted in opposing Yin Wu's palace, the more the Xie family declined.

She tried every means to get rid of Yin Wu's concubine Meng Yan, but in the end she paid the price for it.
