For a long time, the tea was almost cold. After the Qin emperor, he brought the tea to his mouth and took a sip.

In addition to tea, there are some melon and fruit cakes.

However, empress Qin had no appetite at all. She put down her tea and looked at the door expressionless.

"Why hasn't the prince come yet?"

Baoqin respectfully replied, "the prince will come soon."

The queen of Qin raised her mouth and sneered: "it's been so long. He hasn't appeared yet. Is he deliberately hanging out in the palace? Or doesn't he want to see the palace at all?"

Baoqin bowed her head and dared not answer.

At this time, the prince and concubine Xiao came in one after another.

The two came forward to salute.

Luo QingHan explained: "just now my son and minister were resting. It took some time to change and wash. I hope my mother will forgive me."

The empress of the Qin Emperor's eyes flashed over concubine Xiao's face and stayed on the crown prince.

She looked at the prince steadily and spoke for a long time.

"The prince has really grown up and has become more and more capable."

Luo QingHan: "my son doesn't understand what my mother means."

The queen of Qin stood up with the help of Pearl and walked slowly to the prince.

"You were sent to this palace when you were three years old. How old were you then? Look at you now. You are taller than this palace. Time flies."

She said nostalgic words in her mouth, but there was never a trace of temperature in her eyes.

Luo QingHan calmly said, "I've been taking care of my mother for so many years."

The empress of Qin raised a sneer: "even if there is no mother child relationship between us, this palace has the grace to raise you. Is that how you repay this palace now?"

Facing her question, Luo QingHan raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Empress mother, please speak frankly."

Queen Qin: "well, the palace doesn't want to beat around the bush with you. You'll find a way to save Qin lie and Qin Wen."

Luo QingHan: "what they both committed is the national law. The national law is ruthless. Please forgive me that my son and minister are powerless."

After hearing this, the empress of Qin suddenly became cold.

Xiao Xi was worried that she would attack the prince again.

Xiao Xixi quietly prepared. As soon as the Queen started, she rushed up to stop the queen.

However, the queen of Qin did not do it.

She looked at the prince so coldly and spoke again for a long time.

"I really regret it. I shouldn't have been soft hearted to adopt you at the beginning."

If Luo QingHan had heard this before, he would be very uncomfortable, but now he just replied faintly.

"It's my fault that I didn't make my mother happy. I apologize to you."

The news that her brother and nephew had been sentenced to death, coupled with the humiliation she had just suffered in Weiyang palace, made the empress Qin's reason on the verge of losing. She looked at the prince's eyes and showed some hatred.

Xiao Xixi felt that her current mental state was very wrong, and her heart became more and more alert.

Queen Qin: "the palace has something to say to the prince. Everyone else will go down."

Xiao Xi is worried about the crown prince.

She looked at the prince eagerly. The prince was vaguely aware that the queen might have something important to tell him. He whispered to Xiao Xi.

"You go out and wait. You'll be fine."

Xiao Xi had to go out step by step and look back.

Soon there were only two people left in the side hall, the queen of Qin and the prince.

Empress Qin sneered: "you really love concubine Xiao very much. Don't you know that excessive love is wearing intestinal poison in the harem? You love her so much. How can you let her deal with herself in the palace when she loses her favor in the future?"

Luo QingHan calmly replied, "here alone, she will never fall out of favor."

After hearing this, the empress of Qin couldn't help laughing as if she had heard a joke.

"It's nice to be young. You dare to say anything."

Luo Qing said coldly, "if your mother has anything to say, please say it directly."

The empress of the Qin Dynasty gradually put away her smile, and her tone showed some malice.

"Do you want to know how Shen Zhaoyi died?"

As soon as the words came out, the expression on Luo QingHan's face finally changed.

He asked, "didn't she die?"

The empress of the Qin emperor laughed in a low voice, which was full of irony: "Shen Zhaoyi is young and has always been in good health. How can she suddenly die of illness?"

Luo QingHan: "how did the mother die?"

Empress Qin stepped forward and said word by word.

"Shen Zhaoyi was killed by the emperor with a cup of poisonous wine."

Luo QingHan's pupils vibrated.

Although he had long guessed about this, he was still shocked and absurd when he heard the queen say it.

While observing the change of his expression, the queen of Qin continued to say.

"The person who went to deliver poison wine to Shen Zhaoyi was this palace."

"She refused to drink at that time. She was noisy and annoying. The palace had no choice but to let someone hold her head, break her mouth and force the poison into it."

"She's twitching with pain and spitting blood, but she's still calling your name."

……

Outside the door.

Xiao Xi walked back and forth. She had a very bad feeling in her heart, but she couldn't say how bad it was?

Baoqin whispered, "madam, don't worry too much. Your Highness the prince has always been very measured and will be fine."

The door was opened with a creak.

The empress of Qin came out slowly.

She glanced at concubine Xiao coldly, remembered what the crown prince had just said, and couldn't help laughing.

In this harem, the most fickle is the emperor. They can hold you the day before, and the day after, they can forget you and hold the new person in their arms.

How much concubine Xiao is favored today, and how embarrassed she will be when she loses her favor in the future.

The queen of Qin Dynasty took back her sight and walked out of the Qingge hall without looking back.

As soon as the queen left, Xiao Xi quickly ran into the side hall.

At a glance, she saw the prince standing alone in the middle of the house.

His face looked very bad, as if he had suffered some kind of great blow.

Xiao Xi's heart couldn't help pounding.

She subconsciously slowed down and whispered.

"Your Highness."

Luo QingHan slowly turned his head and smiled.

The smile was unspeakable embarrassment.

"Xi Xi, I remember."

Xiao Xi approached him and cautiously touched his hand. Seeing that he did not reject it, he dared to hold his hand.

She asked softly, "what do you think of?"

Luo QingHan: "I think of what my mother looks like and what happened when I was a child."

"Isn't that good?"

Luo QingHan's eyes flushed with laughter: "no, it's not good at all."

Xiao Xi has never seen him so fragile.

She wants to ask what's wrong?

But she couldn't bear to uncover his scar again.

She stretched out her other hand, hugged his body, put her face on his arm and comforted him silently.

Luo QingHan closed his eyes and tried to suppress those uncomfortable emotions in his heart.

Outside the door, father-in-law Chang and Baoqin dared not approach when they saw the scene inside.

They guarded the door and sent the other eunuchs and maids far away so that they would not disturb the prince and concubine Xiao.
