Chapter 244 Room

Shaohua didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, her first reaction was that there was something wrong with the tea!

When she realized that it was dark in front of her, she suddenly became excited and immediately woke up and subconsciously wanted to touch her stomach. The baby in her stomach seemed to notice her awakening and turned around to make her feel safe.

Fortunately, the child is fine!

While Shaohua was relieved, he suddenly realized a very serious problem: she didn't have the strength as she didn't launch the bullet at all. I don't know when her hands and feet were tied and her mouth was not stuffed, but she tried to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.

This must be a dream, this must be a dream!

Shaohua meditated in his heart with self-comfort, closed his eyes again, thinking that as long as she woke up, everything would disappear. Even if Yan Kaizhi is not here, there must be Mrs. Yan, at least Su Jin. As soon as Su Jin's name appeared in her mind, Shaohua couldn't help opening her eyes again. It was still dark around her. She twisted her body and soon found that she had hit the four walls. This can't be a dream. She was panicked by the sudden summoning of the Empress Dowager He alone, so she let Su Jin go to Mrs. Yan.

The facts did not come as she expected. After a polite ceremony, she picked up the teacup and took a small sip. Soon she felt that the sky turned around, her eyes were dark, and then she was unconscious.

However, what puzzled Shaohua was that she had been alert and secretly warned herself not to touch anything in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, especially food. However, she still can't figure out why she wants to drink tea.

The more nervous you are, the calm you will be. Strictly speaking, it is not the first time for Shaohua to be locked in a small dark room like this, but this experience is relatively special. If Su Jin is reliable, Mrs. Yan will soon find that she is not here, and she will come to find the Empress Dowager. Although it was dark all around and I didn't know when it was, but judging from the rhythm of having to eat five meals a day, she was not hungry yet. Obviously, she fell asleep soon.

Shaohua tried to struggle to do it, but before she sat up straight, she found that she touched a hard object on the top of her head. So, the place she was trapped in was not a box. Judging from the four walls she touched, it was more like the space under the bed.

Suddenly, Shaohua's mind flashed. If such a big person as her was carried out, she would definitely be found. Maybe she may meet Mrs. Yan or others before she hides, so she should still be in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

If she guesses correctly, she may be under the Empress Dowager's bed.

This idea makes Shaohua feel a little relieved, at least knowing his situation and not afraid of the unknown space. However, why did Empress Dowager He lock her up? Isn't it enough for her to be in the harem?

Shaohua had some doubts about her initial thoughts. At first, she thought that it was Hongyi who asked Yan Kaizhi to deal with difficult and dangerous things, so that he would stay in the palace so that he would have no worries. But now it seems more like detaining them and restraining Yan Kaizhi's actions.

She didn't care about the political affairs of the imperial court. I only heard Youhan say that recently, the He family has been full of people in Beijing. If Hongyi hadn't become emperor, she would have thought she would have repeated Hongwen's old path. Shaohua scolded the young man for being deaf and mouthless. The He family was the mother of the empress dowager and the queen. It was normal for him to go to the capital. Although the Chengde Building has made the He family lose a lot of face, Hongyi still gave a lot of rewards to the He family in Beijing to make up for it.

Is Yan Kaizhi's outing related to Chengde Building this time? Did he discover some secrets of the He family, so the Empress Dowager He wanted to lock her up as a hostage?

However, why only she is closed? Mrs. Yan is Yan's mother. Shouldn't she be a better hostage? She won't think about the Empress Dowager's brotherhood at this time.

Shaohua twisted his hands and tried to help untie the rope with his mouth, but faintly heard a string of eager footsteps and a little speech. Shaohua opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound. He could only hold his breath and listen to the slight movement.

"Empress dowager, where's the fifth mother!" Mrs. Yan's face was stern and her eyebrows were angry. She turned to the Empress Dowager He, who followed her, and her tone was very serious.

"Presumptuous!" The maid beside the Empress Dowager shouted loudly, but provoked Mrs. Yan's mockery.

She even dared to speak loudly. How could she be restrained by the reprimand of a little maid of honor? Mrs. Yan looked at the Empress Dowager He coldly and saw that her face was as stable as Mount Tai, and her eyebrows were calm. She waved her hand to the maid of honor to retreat. The maid was stunned for a moment, bowed her head and bowed, and quietly retreated with a bellyful of anger.

At this time, the Empress Dowager He smiled slowly and said, "I said she had gone back, but my sister didn't believe it. You even looked at my inner room this time. You should believe it."

Mrs Yan smiled coldly. If she really took the words of the Empress Dowager He seriously, she would be a fool.

"The Empress Dowager won't let people go?" As soon as Shaohua and Empress Dowager He left, Su Jin immediately ran to fight with Mrs. Yan. After all, this harem is the He family, and Su Jin did not dare to guarantee what Mrs. Yan would do. However, Shaohua looked so nervous just now, and she was also a little worried about her.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yan followed when she heard the letter, but the Empress Dowager He said that she had gone back.

Mrs. Yan was skeptical and had to turn back to her bed to find Shaohua, but Su Jin replied to her that she didn't see Shaohua at all.

Mrs. Yan was furious and immediately rushed to the Empress Dowager He to ask for help. According to Mrs. Yan's habit of being unimpeded in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, no one stopped her at all, so she went straight to the inner room. It was only two times in a row that made her feel chills. When her son left, he told her that this incident would probably disturb the foundation of the He family and let them be extremely careful in the palace.

"What did my sister say? I can't hide people here. Maybe she went somewhere to play. I'll let people look everywhere. After all, the harem is so big that if I go out alone, I will get lost. Empress Dowager He spoke slowly, as if she regarded Shaohua as a seven- or eight-year-old child.

"Do you have to force all of us in the strict family to die?" Mrs. Yan gritted her teeth.

The Empress Dowager He looked at her with a sharp expression and said, "Sister, do you know that with your words, I can put you in prison now."

Mrs Yan laughed instead, "Well, you directly put me and Wu Niangguan together. If there are many hostages, it's better for you to negotiate with Kaizhi, right?"

How could she not know the intention of the Empress Dowager He? Yan Kaizhi went out on the order of the emperor. The Empress Dowager He didn't want to clash with her son, so she had to take Yan Kai. Knowing that she was determined to the emperor, the Empress Dowager He threatened Shaohua, or the child in Shaohua's belly.

The Empress Dowager He was a little unhappy with her smile, but Mrs. Yan became more unscrupulous. She stared at the Empress Dowager He and her tone became frivolous.

"The Empress Dowager didn't just take Lanzhi's life to force me to help you, but also took Kaizhi's life to force Lanzhi to marry. Now it's not just right to use a fifth mother and a child to blackmail Kaizhi."

Mrs Yan smiled ferociously, which made the Empress Dowager He feel a little scared. She pretended to be calm and sat down, "I didn't let Lanzhi make peace. She took the initiative to beg me." Even if Lanzhi was well protected by her mother and brother, she knew very well that her family's life was actually in the hands of the Empress Dowager. She not only earned a favor for Rouwan, but also had more leverage to contain the Empress Dowager He.

"Isn't the Empress Dowager satisfied with the status of the He family now? Isn't it necessary for Jiangshan to change her surname that you are willing!" Mrs. Yan's words made the Empress Dowager He's face suddenly change. She looked at Mrs. Yan with sharp eyes, and the two did not give in.

However, the Empress Dowager He withdrew her eyes and said, "That's not true. It's just that Erlang is so ambitious that even her mother's uncle and father-in-law can't tolerate it."

Mrs. Yan smiled clearly, "Why don't you say that the He family makes Erlang uneasy?"

Empress Dowager He glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with him? Will the He family still usurp him? On the contrary, he didn't know who heard the slander and regarded the He family as his enemy. She adjusted her breathing and became much calmer. "I don't blame Kaizhi. After all, he is just loyal to a minister, but the worst thing about him is to get into the tip of the bull. If he doesn't forget that his father is still a member of our He family. If he wants to be loyal, he should be loyal to our He family.

The words were a little excited, and the Empress Dowager's whole face turned slightly red. She looked at Mrs. Yan's speechless and sighed helplessly, "Sister, you and I grew up together since childhood. I'm better for you than to any sister in the He family. Even if I am the empress dowager, I only allow you to go in and out of my bedroom like this. I thought my sister would miss me. It seems that I have thought too much about it. After all, you and I are not a family.

When Empress Dowager He married the Second Prince's Mansion, she had persuaded Mrs. Yan to marry her. She knew that Mrs. Yan must not be able to compare with her, but Mrs. Yan's intelligence and wit were indeed beyond her. At that time, the second princess was Sheng Chong, and the Wang family, who entered the house at the same time, was extremely rich. It was difficult for her to climb up smoothly alone.

However, Mrs. Yan had a heart at that time and had no interest in Wangfu at all. Although she refused He's request, she promised that as long as she needed it, Mrs. Yan would help to the end.

What she never expected was that the first thing He asked her for help was to help drug the second princess.

Mrs Yan has felt lingering when she thought of that, but He knelt in front of her and pleaded and guaranteed Yan Su's future. In the end, Mrs. Yan couldn't stand her plea. Thinking that she had learned a hand in medicine, she could hang a pot to help the world, but the first thing she did was to save her life.

Unlike others, anyone who knows what is wrong with him will find a way to get rid of him. However, she was more dependent on Mrs. Yan, and even in order to better take her by her side, she did not know how to persuade her to leave Yan Su and re-enter the royal palace. He didn't mention it until Mrs. Yan warned her that if she mentioned it again, she would never help her again.

The death of the second princess and the illness of Prince Demin gave He new hope. She tried her best to get her husband's favor, but she didn't expect that when he was the king, she would make another woman the queen.

"Why did you treat me as a family?"
