The eunuch in blue saw Tuoba Tian, ​​hurriedly crawled on the ground and bowed and said, "Long live the emperor!"

"Okay, do you have anything to report to Eunuch Yu?"

Tuoba Tian saw the nervous look on his father-in-law's face. He guessed that something unusual happened in the harem?

Eunuch Yu nodded suddenly: "Your Majesty is the Empress Dowager... She suddenly suffered from severe illness, and the Imperial Doctor said she was afraid she would not survive..."

Before Eunuch Yu finished speaking, Tuoba Tian stared at him coldly and stopped drinking and said, "Stop the mouth of me, get down and read the full text of the fake doctor!"[

Tuoba Tian frowned and said to the little Hezi beside him: "Carry to Cining Palace!"

"Yes, the emperor!"

Xiao Hezi hurriedly prepared the emperor's chariot. Tuoba Tian went up to the chariot and felt in his heart, and he didn't know whether what Eunuch Yu said was true or false.

Although he was busy with government affairs these days, he also saw Empress Xiao a few days ago. Seeing her full of energy and energy, she didn't seem to be ill, so why did she suddenly fall down?

Lian Qiao smiled strangely, then pretended to be worried, got into the sedan chair carried by eight people, and followed the Luanyu where Tuoba Tian was sitting to Cining Palace.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, Tuoba Tian rushed to the bedroom. In the bedroom, Tuoba Tian saw Empress Xiao’s face pale face, lying on the bed, breathing faintly, looking like she was dying, like smoke and clouds, and a gust of wind could blow away her life.

"Mother Queen!"

"emperor?"

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard Tuoba Tian call her, she didn't know where she got her spirit. She actually opened her eyes and insisted on sitting on the bed, but Tuoba Tian gently pressed her shoulders.

"Mother, you are not feeling well, so don't get up!"

Empress Xiao smiled bitterly: "Ai family is fine, you are troubled by yourselves!"

"What is the Queen Mother saying..." He glanced at the imperial physicians standing beside him.

"How is the Empress Dowager now?"

The imperial physicians looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them hung down, and looked ashamed.

"If you want to go back to the emperor, the Empress Dowager is in a bad heart, and I'm afraid it's a disease that has been cured for a long time!"

Tuoba Tian's starry eyes shrank slightly and asked, "What does it mean to gather for a long time? Is it because of fear? Is it because of the war that made the Empress Dowager look like this?"

The older imperial physician shook her head: "When I go back to the emperor, I'm afraid it's related to the empress dowager's daily life and diet. Eating some toxic substances with weak toxicity will cause her to become heart failure. It will last a long time for the disease to be cured by forensic treatment!"

Tuoba Tian was furious and saw the palace servants in Cining Palace. He pointed at them angrily: "Everyone of you must die. If you don't tell who the Queen Mother was, no one will live!"

All the palace people in Cining Palace knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and they all said that they were not the Queen Mother whom they harmed.[

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, look at you, don't lose your temper. Obviously, these palace ladies don't know who was doing things in Ai's daily life, which hurt Ai's family!"

Tuoba Tian bit his lip and said, "Only they serve you, Queen Mother, aren't they harmed me? Is it someone else? Queen Mother, I won't give up on this matter!"

Just when Tuoba Tian was furious, a woman in a gorgeous dress walked into the bedroom and saw Empress Dowager Xiao lying on the bed.

She hurried over and grabbed Empress Dowager Xiao's hand: "Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you? You can't have something to do, otherwise I will really feel sad!"

Empress Dowager Xiao hesitated to look at her. She originally wanted to say the words at the edge of her mouth, but when she saw Lian Qiao cares so much, she dispelled her suspicion and read the full text of the Shenshen.

"Concubine Lian, why are you here?"

Tuoba Tian looked at Lian Qiao suspiciously, but Lian Qiao didn't care and pretended to be very knowledgeable and reasonable: "Emperor, I am naturally worried that the Empress Dowager will come. Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager treats me like my biological parents. If Lian Qiao doesn't take good care of the Empress Dowager at this time, wouldn't she betray others?"

Tuoba Tian warned: "It is best to do what you say now. If you hurt my mother, I will not let you go!"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Tuoba Tian’s cold attitude towards Lian Qiao, and asked, “Emperor, what did Lian Qiao do to make you so angry?”

"Concubine Dan was with her, but she committed suicide!"

Empress Dowager Xiao gasped.

Lian Qiao hurriedly denied: "Your Majesty, how can you guess me like this? It's really because Concubine Dan couldn't bear to let the emperor go, so she did such a stupid thing!"

"No matter what you say, I won't believe it!"

Seeing that Tuoba Tian's words were so cold, Lian Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Okay, since you will never believe Lian Qiao's words, then Yan'er born to Lian Qiao was not born to concubines, nor was it the descendant of the royal family. Are you satisfied with the emperor?"

Tuoba Tian frowned and shouted, "Bold Concubine Lian, are you provoking me?"

Empress Dowager Xiao coughed heavily, and this cough vanished Tuoba Tian's anger.

"Mother, do you still pay it back? Imperial Doctor, come and have a look for the Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Xiao stopped coughing and waved her hand. At this time, her forehead was already covered in sweat. She smiled faintly and looked at Concubine Lian: "Liang Qiao, if you have something to do in the Ai family, you have to tell the emperor, "You go back to the palace, otherwise Yan'er will be in a hurry to find you!"

Lian Qiao was always feeling a little worried, but she could not stay here, which aroused the suspicion of the emperor and the empress dowager.

She smiled gently and withdrew from Cining Palace.

Tuoba Tian sent away the palace servants who were guarding the palace.

At this time, the Empress Dowager said slowly: "Emperor, I am afraid that the Ai family will not be able to survive for a long time. The Ai family wants to ask you something before they die!"[

"What's the matter? Mother, you said it's irritating! I will definitely do it!"

"Your Majesty, the Ai family knows that you have guessed this matter to Lian Qiao, and this matter is really related to Lian Qiao. Please dispel this suspicion, and..."

She gasped and continued, "Ai family wanted to make sure you would never hurt Yan'er's wife. After all, she was your brother's husband and wife, and Yan'er was also his flesh and blood before his death. Although Lian Qiao had deceived everyone and said that she had already had a womb, this matter was true after all. She did not womb, but she was just afraid that people would laugh at her. She wanted her mother to be noble because of her son and stayed in the palace. Such a woman did not look like a bad person no matter how she looked, so Ai family begged you to keep her a way out and treat Yan'er's flesh and blood well, Yan'er!" 171.

Tuoba Tian nodded in the end: "Okay, I just promised you!"

When Empress Xiao heard this, she felt much more relaxed, but soon she remembered something again and instructed: "The Ai family is afraid that they will not be anxious and want to ask you to do the last thing!"

"Mother, you said that's it!"

"Ai family meets Ruoxi and Ai family's grandson Xiaotian. Ai family misses them and wants to see them for the last time before they die!"

Tuoba Tian's heart trembled. Isn't this what he thought in his heart? If so many things wouldn't happen today, he would have left the palace to find Ruoxi and Xiaotian long ago.

He nodded and said, "I promise you!"

Empress Xiao seemed to be tired. Before she could say hello to Tuoba Tian, ​​she had already closed her eyes and fell asleep. She must have said too much, so she was so sleepy.

Tuoba Tian sighed lightly and ordered the palace people in the Cining Palace to treat Empress Xiao well, and then left the Cining Palace.

Lian Qiao sat in the sedan chair. When she thought of Tuoba Tian’s indifference to her, the more she felt angry when Empress Xiao questioned her.

For several days, she almost couldn't eat or sleep well. She often got angry with her three-year-old son Xiaoyan, and often beat Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan could only cry in grievance and beg her to stop. No one in the entire hall dared to say a word, for fear of being punished by her.

On this day, she wanted to go out of the palace gate to relax, but she heard a palace servant coming to report that the emperor had gone to Fengyi Palace.

Fengyi Palace? Isn’t this where that woman once lived?

Lian Qiao rushed to Fengyi Palace angrily, but when she got here, she could not see Tuoba Tian’s shadow.

Someone told her that the emperor had left the palace.

This made Lian Qiao cover her chest so angry that she stretched out her fist and smashed the Qionghua Tree in the yard to vent her breath.

Pull and Pull!

At this moment, a white dove appeared in the sky.

"White pigeon? Is it a Fei Ge delivering a letter?"

Lian Qiao's eyes turned around and hurriedly chased the dove and walked to the small garden behind the palace.

Here, a little palace maid dressed in green was picking flowers. When she saw the white dove, she stretched out her arm happily, and the white dove landed on her arm.

"It seems that the master has heard the news!"

The woman in blue took out the creed from the white pigeon's legs and was about to unfold it, when Lian Qiao and her people walked towards her suddenly trembled in her heart.

She hurriedly let the white dove go away and then hid the creed on her body.

Lian Qiao smiled gently and said, "Luxue, what are you doing here?"

Luo Xue pretended to have just seen Lian Qiao, and hurriedly saluted: "Liang Qiao would like to pay tribute to Concubine Lian!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you Concubine Lian!"

Luo Xue narrowed her eyes and felt Lian Qiao on her body, searching with her eyes, as if she could find some clues.

Lian Qiao looked at it for a long time but didn't see it. She was a little anxious and smiled and said, "Luoxue, I just saw you taking the creed from the feet of the pigeon. Where is the creed? Take it to me!"

She stretched out her hand, but Luo Xue kept hanging her head and not looking at her, and replied: "Even Empress, I really did nothing. I just thought that pigeon was fun, so I exchanged it for it. And I didn't realize that there was any creed from it!"

Lian Qiao said angrily: "Bold slave, do you dare to deceive me?"

Luo Xue shook her head, did not kneel down, nor was she afraid, because her master was inferior to one person, so how could she be afraid of a little concubine Lian?

Luo Xue said: "Even concubine, I tell the truth. If you don't believe it, then I can't do anything about it!"

"Who do you think you are? I have said this, why don't you kneel down?"

Luo Xue said quietly: "Empress Lian, of course I know my identity. I am the most powerful palace maid around the Empress. If you hurt me, I am afraid that the Empress will find out after returning to the palace. You will not be able to explain that you will be reborn as the second one!"

"You...someone dragged her out..."

Before she could finish her words, the personal palace maid beside her had already whispered: "Empress Lian, you must hold it back, don't forget that she is also the emperor's most proud palace maid!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Qiao was so angry that she could not let go, so she had to swallow her anger, snorted coldly, and left with the palace servants beside her.

It was not until Lian Qiao left Fengyang Palace and stood in the small garden that Luo Xue took out the creed and saw the content above.
