The queen had already stood up at this moment. She didn't look at everyone, but just tidied up her clothes. Then she glanced at the few people and walked away. Mei Niang stopped her and smiled, "Where is the queen going?"

The queen looked at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Huan, can you not even keep Xin Nuo? Since I have sent you here, you should follow your promise and return my freedom."

Chu Huan frowned, but Mei Niang was already laughing and said, "The Queen is so anxious to go back? It seems that I have talked to you for a long time before, but you didn't listen."

The queen said coldly: "Do away!"

"If I don't dodge, what can you do?" Mei Niang raised her eyebrows, "In front of me, do you still have to put on the airs of the queen? Brother Huan gives you face, but I don't need to give you face."

"You...!" The queen was a little angry when she knew that Mei Niang was an extremely difficult person.

Chu Huan glanced at Luo Duo, saw Luo Duo's solemn look, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's not yet dawn. After dawn, I'll send someone to come to welcome the Empress. Hexi is not peaceful now, and there is still a way out of the Heavenly Palace. If the Empress leaves alone, it may not be safe."

"It has nothing to do with you whether you are safe or not." The queen said lightly: "I will return to the palace now."

"Oh?" Mei Niang turned her eyes and smiled, "Does the Queen don't want to see the King of Qi for the last time?"

The queen trembled and frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Mei Niang had already dodged and gave way, "Since you are in a hurry to return to the palace, I won't stop you, you can leave now. You are leaving, so I don't have to talk to you."

The queen looked at Chu Huan and said coldly: "Chu Huan, do you know where the King of Qi is?"

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "The Queen doesn't know anything, the prince is now in the northwest!"

"Northwest?" the queen murmured: "He is indeed in the northwest."

Mei Niang asked, "So you know he is in the northwest?"

The queen ignored Mei Niang and just stared at Chu Huan, "How is he now?"

Chu Huan said: "Does the Empress know that the prince was going to kill His Highness the King of Qi?"

The queen snorted coldly and said, "They are brothers, and the prince is the elder brother of King Qi, so how can he harm him?"

"It's also a blessing that you are the queen." Mei Niang smiled and said, "Don't you know about the court dispute? Since ancient times, princes have fought for each other to inherit the throne, but have they ever talked about half of their brotherhood? If it weren't for Brother Huan, King Qi wouldn't even find his bones now. How could he be the prince in the northwest and still think about leading the northwest army to counterattack the capital every day?"

The queen frowned and said, "Is that true?"

Chu Huan said seriously: "Your Highness was originally in the capital to assist the country, but the prince pressed step by step and imprisoned the prince in the palace for a while. It was the prince who sent people to travel thousands of miles northwest to send secret letters, so I sent people to the capital to rescue..."

"Oh?" the queen stared at Chu Huan, "You sent someone to take Yingren to the northwest?"

Chu Huan sighed: "The prince eliminated all the people around the King of Qi. It's just that. The prince is in the capital and is under the control of the prince, and he is in danger at any time."

"That may not be necessary." The queen said lightly: "The prince may just put Yingren under house arrest in the royal palace, which is not necessarily like killing Yingren... If you are in danger, it may not be as you said!"

Chu Huan said: "This is what the prince said in person. Does the Empress know about Ma Zhongheng?"

"Ma Zhongheng?" The queen pondered for a moment and nodded, "He is the escort of the Prince Qi Mansion, and I remember this person."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The Empress is wrong. This person is the prince's person and has been monitoring the prince. The prince later fled from the capital and almost died at the hands of Ma Zhongheng."

The queen was stunned, and Chu Huan continued, "And the prince sent several troops to chase and kill them all the way. It is not easy for the prince to survive."

Mei Niang sneered: "The prince is just a lie and a righteous person. Do you think he is a good person? Your son almost died at his hands, and he is really going to die, silently, unknown...!"

The queen shook slightly, her face pale, and she murmured to herself: "No... Prince, how could the prince kill him..." Looking up at Chu Huan, she asked: "What about him now?"

"Don't worry, the prince is safe and sound now, right in Shuoquan, northwest." Chu Huan said: "Chu Huan naturally wants to repay him with great kindness from the prince. Now the prince and the King of Qi are in power, and life and death are hard to tolerate. This hatred may be difficult to resolve...!"

The queen sat down slowly, closed her eyes, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Luo Duo didn't say much, and went out directly. Mei Niang said: "Empress, no matter whether you want to see it or not, the battle between the King of Qi and the Prince is inevitable and difficult to stop. The Prince regards the King of Qi as a thorn in his eyes, and now he has been labeled as a thief on Brother Huan's head. So long as he recovers, he will sooner or later fight against the northwest... You are the biological mother of the King of Qi, stay by the prince's side, just wait for the hostages controlled by the prince, and if the prince really wants to fight in the future, the King of Qi will have lost for a while before the battle."

Although Mei Niang said it was straightforward, it was a sharp hit.

Although Chu Huan knew that Mei Niang had always spoken without any restraint, what she should say and what she should not say was all taboos for Mei Niang, but she did not stop her at this moment.

"You...what do you mean?" The queen's voice trembled a little.

"I still need to explain this?" Mei Niang sighed softly: "The emperor is dead. If you follow the prince, the prince will naturally be famous. At that time, he sends troops to attack the King of Qi, and the people in the world will think that he is orthodox. Even if you stop him, you will not be able to stop him. If you don't know the truth, you think the prince is the righteous teacher. For the King of Qi, you are his biological mother. He raises up to fight with the prince, but he has to take care of your safety. Maybe at the extraordinary time, the prince will use you to threaten the King of Qi, Queen, do you think that in the end, have you harmed your own son?"

The queen said bitterly with a slight look on her eyes: "No... the prince won't do this, he... he won't fight with Yingren!"

"The arrow is on the string, I have to fire..." Mei Niang wanted to say something again, Chu Huan had already raised his hand and said, "Mei Niang, go out first, I have something to say to the queen."

Mei Niang gave Chu Huan a blank look, but without saying anything, she turned around and went out.

After Mei Niang went out, Chu Huan said: "If the queen insists on going back, Chu Huan will never stop her. The queen will be completely free from now on. However, although Mei Niang's words are not listened to, they are also the truth of the moment. Although Qin is only half of the country, the throne is bound to be won for the prince. Moreover, since he sent someone to assassinate the King of Qi, it proves that in his heart, it is impossible for the prince to continue to live... The prince is now in the northwest, and our soldiers in the northwest naturally follow the prince's orders. If the prince insists on entering the pass, I will never disobey the prince's orders. The queen said that I am a thief. Now that the matter is a thief, I will be willing to accept the name of this thief."

"Why do you want to rebel against the prince?" The queen sighed: "If it is just for Yingren, this matter is not unreversible. I will plead with the prince personally to ask him to forgive your guilt, and I will persuade Yingren to not fight with the prince. Since you have pacified the northwest, you can command the northwest troops and assist the prince in quelling the rebellion. When he revives the Qin State, you will be a hero of restoration and be appointed as the prime minister."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "The Queen thinks it will be like this?"

The queen stared at Chu Huan calmly with her very beautiful eyes and asked, "Isn't this the result?"

"Of course not." Chu Huan sighed: "There is really a day when the first person the prince wants to kill is me, Chu Huan. After Chu Huan dies, the next person the prince will have to deal with must be the prince."

The queen frowned, and Chu Huan smiled bitterly, "It's hard to hold the water... A cup is broken, no matter how skilled craftsman pieced together and restored it, there will still be cracks. This is true for the prince, the king of Qi, and me. The prince and the king of Qi are incompatible with water and fire. This is not something that the queen can resolve in a few words. The prince is resentful to me. Even if he accepts me temporarily when he uses people, he will keep all the birds and bows. When the world is pacified, he will naturally not allow me to continue to live." After a pause, he continued, "And even if I want to continue to be loyal to Qin, I'm afraid the soldiers in the northwest will not agree."

“Why?”

Chu Huan said: "The Empress should know that after the founding of Qin, she has always been a merciless person to the northwest. On the contrary, because the emperor practiced Taoism, taxes increased again and again, and the people of the world suffered greatly. The Northwest was a barren land, and the taxes were paid for years, and the wars were even worse. For the people of the Northwest, Qin was like a mountain pressing on their heads. Now that the mountain was about to collapse, the Empress felt that they would work hard to protect this mountain pressing on their heads?"

The queen sighed quietly, obviously knowing this very well.

"If the emperor worked hard to govern and was kind to the northwest, and there were several generations of subsequent kings to implement benevolent governments, so that the people in the northwest would think of the benefits of the empire and let them feel the favor of the court, they would naturally be willing to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty." Chu Huan said solemnly: "But now many people in the northwest do not even know who the emperor of the empire is. They only know that after the establishment of this country, they would live a very difficult life, which was worse than the previous dynasty. If they went to remote villages, they would even think of the benefits of the Chinese dynasty, and would not miss the Qin State at all..."

The queen's face changed slightly. Chu Huan stared at the queen and said slowly: "The world is in chaos, and heroes are rising everywhere, and the dynasty is changing. I am afraid the prince cannot change this fact. If there is one person in the world who can be the main one in the right way, then there is only one person...!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's His Highness, King Qi." Chu Huan said slowly: "The prince not only has the blood of Qin, but also the blood of the royal family of the Hua Dynasty. Although Dahua has been destroyed, it has only been decades. If the prince raises the banner of restoring Dahua, it may be more popular than the banner of Daqin."

The queen changed color and said, "You...what did you say?"

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "The Queen should know what I am talking about. Not many people know about the Queen's identity, but don't forget that His Highness, King Qi, was once assassinated at Zhongyi Village. Of course, the Queen will not forget this place!"
