After hearing these words, Lan Xuan first shrank back in fear, then he immediately lowered his head and said. Esteemed Empress, this servant doesn't dare anymore! "

"You don't dare? En, it was impossible to correct one's mistakes, but... This time, you will still be punished for your mistake; Lan Xin, slap your face three more times! "

Now, Lan Xin wanted to stop, but she did not have the guts, so she could only bite the bullet and walk forward, and muttered: "Sorry!"

The clear sound of a slap beside his ear may not have been one thousandth of what Ningshuang had said, but it was much more powerful than the slap just now.

He narrowed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the sounds by his ears. Then, amidst Lan Xuan's whimpering, Ningshuang slowly opened his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Lan Xuan, will you complain about me, and about Lan Xin?"

"This servant doesn't dare, the empress did it for the sake of this servant!" Lan Xuan covered his face with his hands, his face covered in tears.

Ningshuang nodded his head and said: "You understand my hard work, Lan Xin, you remember, my Weiyang Palace will not allow any neglect, understand?"

"Here, Your Highness!" The current Lan Xin felt as if her palm was on fire, but she didn't have the guts to say anything.

Ningshuang looked up again, a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes that were lying on the ground. She sighed and said: "It's already deep into the night, the two of you can go and rest! Lan Xin, you stay in the side hall. Lan Xuan, you go to the right garden.

Hearing that, a look of jealousy and hatred surfaced in Lan Xuan's eyes. She couldn't understand, why would the beautiful Lan Xin, who couldn't even be considered beautiful nor intelligent, get the empress's attention and make her become a palace maid?

"There's no need. I'm really tired tonight. All of you can leave!"

Seeing that a trace of exhaustion seemed to have truly appeared in Ningshuang's eyes, Lan Xin, on the other hand, obediently withdrew.

Looking at the two backs in front of him, Ningshuang unconsciously reached out to stroke the jade bracelet on his left wrist. Lan Xuan, in order to climb onto Xuan Yuqi's bed in his previous life, you didn't even hesitate to sell yourself for honor. I will make you regret meeting me again.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lan Xin's back a few times: This little girl who was loyal to him in his previous life, yet was killed by Lan Xuan in the end, in this life … I will take revenge for you as well!

A lonely wind blew outside the window, the night lights in the palace flickered with radiance but Ningshuang was unable to recover from it for a long time … From the blends of her past life and this life, she was no longer that idiotic woman who was bullied by anyone. In this life, she only wanted revenge, she only wanted …

The rustling sound instantly brought the vigilant Ningshuang back to reality. Her brows knitted deeply as she stared out the window at the night sky. However, she remained abnormally calm and asked, "Who?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that... He truly did not expect that his mother would make his son full of blessings. Looks like the young miss of the Mansion of the Duke Protector of the Kingdom was not only beautiful, his heart was also … "It's like a multicolored poisonous snake. It really makes people stop when they look at it. I wonder if royal father would know …"

"My son... I think you won't let your royal father know, after all … Mother still wants to help you ascend to the throne! " Ningshuang said towards the window with a smile.

As he jumped into the room, Xuan Yuxie clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Imperial Mother, this son had thought that you would sleep with my royal father in Chunyu Palace tonight! After all, my royal father's eyes are always on you today! "

Hearing these words, Ningshuang raised her eyes and sneered: "Your Highness, have you not heard of those words you want to capture?"

"Hehe, mother's words, I, your son, am taught a lesson today!"

Seeing the big fox's fake smile, Ningshuang seemed to lose interest and said softly. "My son, you have come late into the night.

Xuan Yuxie who was playing with the glass jade stone in her hand laughed as she looked at Ningshuang, and then approached her step by step. Ningshuang was on guard and wanted to get up and escape, but unexpectedly, he held onto her arm, and continued to move backwards.

Pressing Ningshuang on the screen, Xuan Yuxie smiled charmingly and caressed Ningshuang's face, but in the next moment, the smile on her face became cold and gloomy, and she said softly: "This afternoon, why did mother suddenly mention me in the imperial garden?"

"... "You, are you monitoring me?" Ningshuang's eyes seemed to be filled with anger.

But in the next moment, Xuan Yuxie unconcernedly smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "What mother said was just a coincidence. How could I dare to watch mother?"

or perhaps he was an expert who hid his strength. No matter how hard you tried to find out about the man in front of you, what you would always see in him was the kind of playboy and dissolute person he indicated. No matter how you looked at the man in front of you, you would always see him acting disorderly and dissolute.

Sighing a bit despondently, he said in a low voice, "My son, mother will give you a word of advice... You must perform well in front of your royal father … The Queen Mother will also … "

Just as that pair of slender white jade hands soothed Xuan Yuxie's shoulder, she was held in his hands and her entire body pressed onto hers without any cracks. She laughed softly, "Imperial Mother … Are you helping me? "Why?"

Why? Because I owed you in my previous life; because I will never allow Xuan Yuqi to become emperor in my current life … Ningshuang shouted in his heart, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face: "Because you're the crown prince and my direct son!"

"Direct son? "Hehe, how is it that I don't know that Mother, a thirteen year old baby, can give birth to this twenty-five-year-old crown prince?"

Ningshuang was so dazzled by Xuan Yuxie's icy cold fingertip that it nearly blinded her heart. In a moment of unstable breathing, she hurriedly pushed him away:

"My son, although I am not your biological mother, what you have just said … "You are my direct son, my most beloved son …"

"Beloved son? Hehe, I thought the one you loved the most, would be Liu Huangdi! "

After hearing this name, Ningshuang's expression changed again into a strange wave. She waved his hand away somewhat fidgety and said coldly, "Crown Prince, I had said this before, I am the Queen of eastward detachment, and it has nothing to do with Sixth Prince …"

"Then do you have any relationship with me? Or could it be... Ever since the Queen Mother saw this set of skin, something has happened to me … "

His cheek twitched unknowingly, Ningshuang was so angry that he wanted to scratch the wall: Please, can you not be so narcissistic?

After that, Ningshuang said in a low voice, "My son, you think too much. Actually, your mother only wants to help you ascend the throne to become emperor.

"No, don't worry. I will definitely help you climb the great treasure. I will wish you great success!" Ningshuang replied back to him with an abnormally resolute and ice-cold expression in her eyes.

"Help me? Hehe, Imperial Mother, why are you helping me? You must at least give me an answer, right? "

Being forced by Xuan Yuxie to the point that she was at a loss of what to do, Ningshuang turned around and said softly, "Because I just want to be the empress dowager who has nothing better to do …"

"What?" Xuan Yuxie was completely stunned. She thought that she was hearing things, and started to gnaw on Ningshuang again.

Ningshuang rolled her eyes, reached out and patted his head, "My son, your mother only wants to live a peaceful and peaceful life, so … Hehe, after helping you ascend to the throne, I will be able to rest in peace! "

"You … You want to be the empress dowager? " Xuan Yuxie uncertainly looked at the little girl who was only in front of his chest. She's only thirteen years old, right? Why did she suddenly remember to be the Empress Dowager?

Ningshuang nodded with certainty, and said while smiling, "My son, a life without a purpose in life is a life without a goal. Mother's ultimate goal is to become the empress dowager … So, let's work together! "

Looking at the smiling beauty in front of him, Xuan Yuxie felt a chill down his spine. That fierce battle in the afternoon, which was the real Shentu Ningshuang?

Thinking up to here, Xuan Yuxie frowned and laughed sinisterly, "Imperial Mother, if you want to be the empress dowager, isn't that an easy task? Now it looks like royal father has the highest honor to a lucky star like you, you might as well give birth to a prince, and then, you can replace me with … "

Hearing this, Ningshuang's face turned ugly, and even the smile she had just had slowly faded. In the next moment, she raised her smile in a mocking manner, "Your Highness, are you joking with me? I presume you know the current Emperor's body? "

"What is it? The Queen Mother is looking down on royal father? If royal father finds out about this … " The smile on Xuan Yuxie's face was exceptionally bright, but the words that came out of her mouth were as cold as knives.

Originally, she thought that Ningshuang would be a little afraid, but for some reason, she also laughed sinisterly: "My son, you are the smartest now. Mother should think of what should be said and what shouldn't be said, you should understand!"

"Oh? "Then what if I don't know?" Xuan Yuxie also looked at Ningshuang, unwilling to be outdone.

"My son, if you don't understand? When you understand it, you will definitely regret it! "

Ningshuang's back muscles stiffened. This time, it was Xuan Yuxie who reacted first, pulling Ningshuang with him as they flashed past …
