The Queen Mother's words made the surroundings silent, as if the silver needles could be heard falling to the ground.

Even Wen Yao was shocked.

Since she woke up, she had never heard of such a thing at all. She even thought that her engagement was decided by her mother and the queen.

The Empress Dowager looked sideways in the direction of the queen: "You were there too, but I agreed with this matter. Although it has been more than ten years, the Ai family still remembers that day."

The cold sweat almost appeared on the queen's forehead, and her expression was a little flustered.

"Empress Dowager, I did not intend to target Wen Yao, because this girl was vicious and not only deceived me, but also pretended to be crazy and stupid, but also didn't know how to be shameless and unfaithful, so..."

The Empress Dowager frowned: "Yao'er used to be crazy and stupid. It would be fine if you didn't fulfill your responsibilities to protect her. Now, she is just pushing all the blame on her. She is still a child, what can she know?"

Wen Yao couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard the Queen Mother's words.

Yes, she is still a child... Although she lived to be twenty-four in her previous life, she was only a girl who was just sixteen years old in this life.

No one would have thought that the Empress Dowager would stand on Wen Yao's side, and even Mo Wuyun would be caught off guard.

The queen looked embarrassed, she was angry, but she dared not show it on her face.

The emperor frowned and said, "Mother, this is all about young people, and I can't participate too much, so..."

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows. Although her eyebrows were snow-white, she was still strong: "The emperor should understand that this is related to the safety of a country. If Xia Lanshan had not done all her best to help her back then, how could you do the throne so safely?

"

The emperor's expression froze and he lowered his head when he heard this.

The many old ministers below seemed to remember something, and they didn't dare to speak much.

Things that happened more than ten years ago have become so far away, and not many people still remember them. The past has gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

"My mother, it's time soon, I'll talk about this later."

He raised his head and his eyes fell on Wen Yao, his expression a little deep.

You don’t need to guess that this matter must have been taken on by Wen Yao. It seems that this little girl still lacks a lesson.

Wen Yao boldly looked at the emperor and did not retreat at all.

The emperor turned around helplessly: "Wing King and King Bing have arrived, the Empress Dowager will meet with me."

It was getting late, and the Empress Dowager knew that it was not the time to say this. She told Wen Yao to stand in the crowd and not run around, and then leave Xuanwu Palace with the emperor.

Outside the Golden Palace, three troops stood in unison. The three kings and men took their men to bending over to welcome the arrival of the emperor and the empress dowager.

Although the emperor was not the queen mother's biological son, she was raised by her personally. These three princes were all those who supported the emperor's ascendance to the throne back then.

Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the princes are living very comfortable on their respective fiefs.

The emperor sat on the tall dragon throne and accepted the greetings of several brothers. Wen Yao raised his eyes and looked over. He saw three figures stepping to the front of the stage. He first gave the emperor a big bow and bow, and then began to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

.

The Queen Mother smiled and looked at each other, looking very good.

"With you a few here, the emperor can feel at ease. After today's ceremony of worshiping heaven, you brothers will have a good heart."

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

The three of them stood up and returned to their own positions. After listening for a while, Wen Yao finally distinguished the identities of the three.

The middle-aged man on the left with a slightly fat figure, a slightly round cheek, and a smiling face was King of Win, while the middle-aged man with a stunning figure was King of Win, and the last one looked very young and dressed in dark purple.

A man with a long robe and a handsome face is called the King of Qi.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began, and all officials followed the emperor to the altar. Today's process was to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, hoping to bless the country and the people to remain peaceful and prosperous in the coming year.

After the whole set of etiquette, Wen Yao felt a little headache.

She learned the movements of the people around her to make up the numbers, and quietly looked up while everyone was bowing. Seeing Wen Yu kneeling beside the queen, she was particularly eye-catching in red.

The emperor had already gone to the rooftop for sacrifice, and the long steps extended upwards. A magnificent altar was placed in the middle, with pillars carved with dragon patterns arranged around it.

The minister of the Silijian shouted at the front, but Wen Yao didn't have to follow, he just needed to kneel down and bow down in the back.

She lowered her head and fiddled with Xiaoshizi boredly. Seeing that Wen Yu was not far from her, she flicked her finger gently.

In the quiet crowd, Wen Yu's body suddenly fell to the ground due to the sudden pain and couldn't help but scream.

Her shout attracted many people's attention, and some old ministers couldn't help but frown, and a strong solemn aura appeared on their faces.

Several princes had already stood up and looked in the direction of Wen Yu when they heard the sound. The King of Qi in purple robe suddenly raised his lips and said, "It's noisy in the rituals, come and pull him down!"

Wen Yu looked shocked, and she stood up in panic and said, "I didn't mean it. I only made a sound when someone hit me with something."

When she said this, the concubines behind her were frightened and their faces turned slightly pale.

Wen Yao is not close to Wen Yu, so he doesn't worry that anyone is suspicious of him, and he still lowers his head and doesn't say anything.

The King of Qi frowned coldly: "I don't want to know the reason. If a disaster occurs next year, it must be caused by you, a woman. According to common sense, you should be burned to death to get rid of bad luck."

Wen Yu was shocked and cold sweat fell in an instant. She knelt on the ground and bit her lower lip, and the blood on her lips faded.

Mo Wuyun stood up and said, "Uncle King of Qi, Yu'er did not make a mistake on purpose. If you want to burn someone, burn this prince!"

When the queen saw that the matter was out of control, she immediately shouted loudly: "Shut up and keep making trouble, the emperor will definitely get angry later."

After hearing the queen's insult, everyone stood in their position again, and the sacrifice was successful. Everyone returned with the emperor and the empress dowager.

When I returned to the Golden Palace, it was already dark outside.

Walking and kneeling along the way, everyone looked a little tired.

No one took the initiative to mention what happened to Wen Yu, as if it was not good to forget this, and Wen Yu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The three kings wanted to discuss national affairs with the emperor, and the ministers were waiting outside to order, while the rest of the women were taken to Cining Palace by the empress dowager.

Because the empress dowager fell ill three days ago, everyone in the harem was still at risk, and the tension around her was so thick that she had a certain degree of tension.

In addition to the concubine of the palace, the empress dowager of the other officials was sent back, and Wen Yao was forced to stay. The empress dowager also said that the next thing was also related to her.

Wen Yao stood aside, still in the idle dress.

The palace concubine Yingying stood in one place, and the lower-grade people hid in the corner and did not dare to speak, only the Nan concubine and the Queen stood in front.

Wen Yu knew something was wrong. Her legs were still hurting very much, so she gritted her teeth and stood there to endure it.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything at first, until someone couldn't hold on to the strong pressure and was about to lose his legs, and finally spoke: "The Ai family asked you to come, you should know what happened in your heart."

The palace concubine looked at each other, and they didn't know anything at all.

"The Ai family suddenly fell ill a few days ago. Some people say that it was caused by the poisoning of the Ai family."

The queen quickly interrupted: "The person in this matter has all the evidence and evidence, and even the emperor got angry. It was indeed the one who did it."

The Empress Dowager smiled gently: "The Ai family has seen the medicine powder and found that it was not the cause of the Ai family's illness, but because the Ai family has always had insomnia and stayed up late recently, so they suddenly became ill."

The queen said in surprise: "But it is a fact that she poisons you, the Empress Dowager. Whether you get sick from this powder or not, you should..."

Before the queen could finish her words, the queen mother interrupted her: "If Shufei really wanted to harm the Ai family, there was no need to use this method of being seen through at first sight. The powder was not a very poisonous thing. Can it hinder her

The Ai family doesn't know, let alone be easily discovered."

The queen turned pale and lowered her head and said nothing.

She looked back and glared at Concubine Nan fiercely, and turned her head away when she looked at Concubine Nan.

The medicine powder is of course Nan Fei. Her methods are so stupid, what can she do?

Concubine Nan disagreed. Although she didn't speak, she didn't look very nervous.

The Empress Dowager said: "After the time, the Ai family will naturally talk about this matter with the emperor, and ask him to release Concubine Shu out of the cold palace. As for another thing..."

Her face became serious and her smile was restrained: "Queen, tell Mo Wuyun to immediately restore Yao'er's identity, otherwise, he would not stay in the capital to enjoy his happiness. The Ai family thought Cheng Yin's life was good, and he also

Go and help!"

The queen's face changed drastically and she hurriedly said, "How can this work? Wu Yun is still very experienced and has no ability to deal with disasters. If she accidentally gets infected with those epidemics..."

"Since you know the danger, do your duty!"

The Empress Dowager finally glanced at the concubine below and then said, "The Ai family has some headaches, let's go down."

After all, the empress dowager is old. After this trouble today, her body, which has just recovered from a serious illness, can't bear it.

Her weakness was not a false act, and the other concubines hurriedly retreated.

Wen Yao was about to leave at the end, but when he arrived at the door, the empress dowager said, "You stay, the Ai family has something to say to you."

Wen Yao looked at the empress dowager in confusion. Although the empress dowager spoke to her very touched her, she was still a little wary of the old man who controlled the court.

"You kid is really exactly the same as Lanshan. Have you put away the bracelet given to you by the Ai family?"

When Wen Yao heard this, he leaked the dew on his wrist.

"I have always been worn by Yao'er and never left."

"That's good, this is your mother's relic. She told the Ai family that they would give it to you after you got married. The Ai family helped you keep it for so many years, and now it's the property that has returned to the original owner."
