All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 988: Cold Palace

Concubine Lan and the Second Prince were deeply entrenched in the palace. Even if Uncle Ning Yuan was convicted and imprisoned, their status would still not be shaken. Yin Huaixi knew better than anyone the principle of cutting off the grass and eradicating the roots. He kept Uncle Ning Yuan untouched, firstly for the sake of The second reason was to force King Liang to rebel, and secondly, to use King Liang to plot rebellion, he eliminated Concubine Lan and the second prince.

Yin Huaixi retaliates with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and kills Concubine Lan and her family for the same crime. Even the ashes are raised, and the ashes cannot be rekindled.

Concubine Lan has been banished to the cold palace for three days.

It was completely different from the cold palace she had invited herself into before. This place was dark and decayed, with a lingering smell of rot and mold, giving it a gloomy and ominous atmosphere.

On the beams of the house, there were large webs of spider silk, which tightly bound her. No matter how much she screamed and cursed in anger, it was of no use.

At this time, the dilapidated door was pushed open with a "squeak" sound.

"Someone is coming?!" Lan Fei murmured and looked up in a daze.

She saw the open door, and a beam of light suddenly pierced her eyes. A graceful and luxurious figure stood in the light and walked slowly towards her with high steps.

Concubine Lan's eyes were stung by this dazzling figure, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She blinked hard, and the blurry figure in front of her eyes gradually became clear.

Queen Ning looked at her condescendingly, as if she were looking at an ant crawling under her feet that could be crushed to death with just one lift of her feet.

She slowly squatted down.

"It's so embarrassing!" Queen Ning's slender fingers gently tidied the messy hair around her cheeks.

Concubine Lan felt that the hand on her cheek was extremely cold: "What do you want to do?"

Queen Ning's compassionate expression suddenly turned ferocious: "What do I want to do?!" With lightning speed, her white fingers suddenly pinched Concubine Lan's chin: "Have you forgotten, I, Ning Guo Gongfu? Hundreds of lives were lost up and down; my father and brother died on the battlefield, but were covered with infamy; and there was the prince who died not long after I was born."

Concubine Lan saw her calm face and a pair of eyes filled with hatred, staring at her as if they were about to bite people.

"The hatred of annihilating the family, the pain of losing a son, the hatred of losing a son," Queen Ning's voice seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between her teeth, with a ferocious tone of gnashing her teeth and grinding her teeth: "I have never forgotten it."

Concubine Lan panicked and screamed: "You, let me go, get out of here!" She shook her head vigorously, trying to break away, but Queen Ning's grip said: "What happened to Ning Guo Gong's Mansion was not my fault, it was Xu Guo Gong's Mansion. The death of the emperor's eldest son was also at the hands of Concubine Yang. It had nothing to do with me. Every injustice has its origin, and every debt has its owner. You..."

Concubine Shu was deprived of her title and sentenced to death. Because she lost her title, her mother's family name was Yang, so she was referred to as Concubine Yang. This was a collective name for concubines who were favored but then fell out of favor.

Queen Ning had been in the palace for many years and often tended flowers and plants. Calluses grew on her fingers. The rough calluses made Concubine Lan's cheeks sore and almost crushed her cheeks.

"You are right, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner, so," Empress Ning chuckled. In the empty and silent palace, with the clanging doors and windows, it looked strange and cold: "I'm here to find you. !”

Lan Fei subconsciously shook her head in denial: "It's not me..."

"Like a vicious snake, hiding in a hole all the time, so I can't find you?" Queen Ning pinched her neck: "I didn't know, are you adding fuel to the fire and making trouble behind your back?"

Her force was very strong, and within a moment, Concubine Lan was pinched, her cheeks turned red, and she kept rolling her eyes: "Let me go, let me go, uh no..."

Queen Ning admired her frightened expression when she was about to die.

Just when Concubine Lan thought that she would be strangled to death by Empress Ning, Empress Ning suddenly let go, stood up slowly, and straightened her clothes: "I will not kill you easily, I will let you see the blood of Ning Yuanbo He's Mansion." Splashing the Meridian Gate, I saw the emperor you loved most being tortured with a thousand knives, cut into pieces with pain, and tortured to death bit by bit."

Concubine Lan covered her neck and lay on the ground, breathing heavily and making a broken sound in her throat; "No, don't, if you have anything, just come to me..."

"I know you still have someone to rely on," Queen Ning stared at her with fierce eyes: "Even if she is deprived of her title and thrown into the cold palace, she can still survive and quietly contact Ning Yuanbo's old subordinates in the court. "

Lan Fei's eyes suddenly opened, and one sentence kept echoing in her mind: Has the person she arranged been discovered? How can this be? Impossible, impossible...

Queen Ning saw through her thoughts: "That dog slave is very loyal to you. He would rather die than admit it. The Ai family had no choice but to chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

Lan Fei's body couldn't help but soften, and she still had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"However," Empress Ning changed the topic, and those two words made Concubine Lan's heart skip a beat. She heard the cold voice in her ears, "In this palace, there has always been... A vine can lead to a bunch of gourds, and the Ai family found out a lot of interesting things by following the vine."

Concubine Lan's face turned pale.

Queen Ning looked at her forced composure and felt happy in her heart: "Why not let Aijia guess, what is your last resort?"

Lan Fei subconsciously held her breath.

Empress Ning smiled: "After the emperor became seriously ill, you took back control of the harem and tried your best to play the role of a contented concubine. You spared no effort to push the second prince to the former dynasty, and you accumulated a lot of virtues in the former dynasty. reputation."

Comparing her and Concubine Xu, who jumped up and down in court, Concubine Lan managed to become a model concubine.

Others just thought that Uncle Ning Yuan was in jail, and Concubine Lan had no support from her mother's family, so she naturally had to keep a low profile.

But!

She has been fighting with Concubine Lan for decades. Over the years, in Yikun Palace, she has carefully considered and analyzed all the people and things related to Concubine Lan. .

The people who know you best are always your enemies.

Concubine Lan quickly calmed down: "The harem cannot interfere with politics, and I should keep my duties safe. Is this wrong?"

I just hate that Duke Xu is too stupid.

At that time, Xu Guogong was actually a young general under Ning Guogong. If he exposed Ning Guogong's mistakes on the battlefield, people would inevitably accuse Xu Guogong of being ungrateful.

Seeing that the emperor was about to be deposed, Xu Guogong immediately stood up to plead for Empress Ning.

At that time, Xu Guogong had made a great contribution to the rescue, and the limelight was at its peak. There were many ministers in the court who were close friends with Ning Guogong, as well as some old ministries. plead.

Later, even the Queen Mother stood up to protect the Queen, and the Emperor did not abolish the Queen.

She lost the opportunity to eradicate the problem.
