Hearing the Queen Mother talking about Concubine Li, Lan Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat. Concubine Li's death had something to do with her. If she hadn't been grounded by the emperor for punishing her that day, she wouldn't have died so quickly!

Now that I hear what the Queen Mother says, I bet that the Queen Mother still thinks of Concubine Li in her heart. Will she seek justice for her?

The Queen Mother did not wait for Lan Ruoxi to speak, and continued to say solemnly, "The people in this palace are like the tea leaves in this tea cup. They cannot float too high. If it is too high, although you can see far, there are also many dangers. People.

When drinking tea, you must first remove the tea leaves floating on the water, so the higher you stand, the easier it is for you to fall."

"Now that Concubine Li is gone, no one will collect the rootless water for the Ai family anymore. No one will give the Ai family a cloak when the weather is cold." The Queen Mother's last words were filled with deep regret and heartache.

No one can be ruthless except grass and trees. The emperor can sacrifice the lives of others for the sake of the country, but he cannot eliminate the traces left by that person in his heart. Concubine Li has been in this harem for twenty years, and she has been a living person for these twenty years.

The person on the top of the wave. If she only relied on the favor and indulgence of the emperor and the queen mother, how could she be alive today? How did she fight with the concubines in the harem over the years, how did she eliminate dissidents and protect herself?

.But no matter how smart she is and how powerful her methods are, she is just a little bird struggling to survive under the wings of a man. Once these wings are gone, her life will come to an end.

This is the sorrow of women in the palace and the sorrow of women under this feudal slavery system.

Therefore, Lan Ruoxi had sworn a poisonous oath long ago. She would never take such a path, and she would control her destiny in her own hands.

"Queen Mother, please have your condolences."

Lan Ruoxi didn't want to say much other than this, because the Queen Mother also knew that she and Concubine Li didn't get along. If she were to falsely say a lot of good things about Concubine Li at this time, it would be too false. The Queen Mother

Such a smart woman would naturally see through her tricks at a glance.

Therefore, she wisely chose to remain silent.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to care what she said. After sighing for herself, she put down the teacup. She looked outside, as if she was waiting for someone.

"It's getting late, and it's time for the prince to start choosing his concubine. Let's go and help the Ai family to have a look. There hasn't been a new member of the palace for a long time, and the Ai family feels lifeless."

Lan Ruoxi hurriedly stepped forward to help her. The Queen Mother was actually quite lonely. When the late emperor passed away, she was only thirty years old, and she had been a widow for decades. Alas, her best years were wasted like this.

In this lonely deep palace.

I followed the Queen Mother to the Royal Garden, and the Queen had already arrived. The ladies of the princes and nobles were already waiting there, all of them as beautiful as flowers, and they were all first-class beauties.

However, the person who chose the concubine has not yet come.

Lan Ruoxi looked around, and it seemed that all the ladies from all the palaces had arrived. The palace was so deserted, and after finally getting lively, everyone naturally came to join in the fun.

But, I don’t know what the excitement will be like!

Seeing that the prince had not arrived yet, the queen mother frowned slightly. Lan Ruoxi stood aside and watched her reaction, not daring to say a word.

"Why hasn't the prince come yet? He is old and doesn't pay much attention to such important matters. As you know, the prince is young and his vision is different from ours. If he doesn't like the good one, that's fine too.
