Wei Xihua had been in the palace for eight years, relying on the emperor's favor and always acting domineeringly. After the emperor suddenly passed away, she became the queen mother who listened to politics behind the curtain, and she was very satisfied.
Although Xihua held great power when she became the Queen Mother, there was a blind person who repeatedly ruined her good deeds. Thinking of all the past events, she wanted to kill him quickly.
Unexpectedly, before Wei Xihua took action, the new emperor suddenly rebelled and used her hand to send the man to prison. He also used this as an excuse to eliminate Chao Gang and remove many of the arms around her.
The courtiers lamented that in the past, Qi Yun, who was famous in the capital and was the dream lover of countless noble ladies in the capital, was assassinated by the Queen Mother and became a prisoner.
…
Qi Yun, wearing bloody clothes full of whip marks, was half lying in a corner of the prison. When he saw the person coming, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and asked self-deprecatingly: "Is the empress coming here now to collect my body for burial?"
Wei Xihua wanted to say that he was unworthy, but seeing that he still looked disgusting, she suddenly changed her mind. She did not use the word "Aijia" for the first time, but said cheerfully: "No, I am here to save you."
Soon, rumors spread among the courtiers that the man who had been sent to prison was rescued by the Queen Mother, tortured by the palace, and became a chamberlain. Naturally, some people did not believe this.
Until a palace banquet, someone saw the Queen Mother accompanied by a chamberlain, and this chamberlain was someone they were very familiar with before.
They never expected that Qi Yun would end up in such a situation!
…
The moon was high in the sky, and the movement in the dormitory still showed no sign of stopping. The sounds of men and women's breathing were mixed in their ears. Qi Yun just lowered his head as if he couldn't hear it, and stood silently outside, waiting.
After a while, there was finally no sound in the room, and he went to call for water. After the water came, he called "Empress" to the sleeping hall.
When he heard a feeble "come in" sound from inside, he went in. There was no other person in the room. He came to Xihua's bed, moistened the cloth with water, and started cleaning her without saying a word.
Wei Xihua looked at his crouched posture and suddenly asked: "The Ai family remembers that you used to love to complain to the Ai family, so why don't you complain to His Majesty now?"
Qi Yun looked at the few faint red marks on the skin of the person in front of him, who was like white snow, and couldn't help but stop the movement of his hands. He thought about what she just said and was stunned for a while.
The smell of fragrant dew from all around continued to flow into his nose, "Mother." He called out, holding back in his heart and saying without changing his expression: "Now that I am your slave, how dare I do something that is against my master?
