My enemies became my companions

Chapter 312 I am very proud
In fact, for a moment, Chen Yi really believed that Tushan had left a trace of his soul in Queen An's body.

People always have expectations for certain miracles, and Chen Yi is no exception.

Even if his reason told him that Tushan had been completely sealed again, she would never appear again unless the underground palace was unearthed.

Sensibly, Chen Yi still couldn't help but hope that Tushan might be able to silently accompany him with some secret method, but he hadn't noticed it yet and he didn't know it yet.

In order to avoid being discovered by Chen Yi, she was even careful not to make any sound or leave any clues.

It’s a pity that fantasy is just fantasy after all. It is only true when it remains in fantasy. Once it falls into reality, it becomes extremely false.

An Hou's words made Chen Yi sober up.

In the underground palace, Tushan mistook him for Qi, but in the end, she knew that Chen Yi was Chen Yi, not Qi.

But An Hou didn't know all this.

Because her memory only stayed at the Temple of Heaven.

After offering sacrifices at the Temple of Heaven, Tushan regained consciousness completely and suppressed Anhou's soul. The latter's senses were completely blocked, and Tushan never became confused again.

So, Chen Yi finally understood.

After going around in circles, in the end, there is actually no such thing as the remnant soul of Tushan.

Saying that some remnant spirit is causing trouble is just an excuse.

No matter what people do, they always need excuses and reasons. I am like this, and the empress dowager who rules the country is no exception.

In the end, Queen An was just trying to win over the emperor's heart.

Just because he is still a good knife for her to take revenge on Chen family of Jin State.

His surname is Chen, his origin is unknown, his martial arts skills have improved so fast that they are almost as fast as the Broken Swordsman back then, coupled with the rumors that were deliberately spread...

I'm afraid that now some people in the Chen family in Jin State have already suspected that he is a runaway illegitimate son from one of the branches.

Chen Yi gently shook the wine in the glass, and the wine became clear. After testing it to this extent, he raised it up and drank it all.

Queen An pursed her lips lightly and chatted:

“At that time in the underground palace, you asked me to confer the title of Princess on the daughter of Prince Xiang. Now the imperial decree has been drafted and the seal has been used. Not only can her crime be pardoned, but she can also be adopted into the mansion of Prince Jing. She can be legitimately conferred the title of Princess and married to you as your equal wife.

Yi'er, now that you dote on her so much, are you really going to let her be a concubine forever? Regardless of the fact that she is from the royal family, doing this is a capital crime. Even if you only consider this likable person, you should make her your co-wife. "

After hearing Queen An's words, Chen Yi neither shook his head nor nodded.

In fact, no matter whether Yin Tingxue is a concubine or a wife, her position in Chen Yi's heart remains unchanged.

Being a concubine or a wife may make a big difference to people in this world, but to Chen Yi, the difference is just a tiny status.

After all, in Chen Yi's heart, there is no distinction between concubines and wives. For those women, there is only a difference in the degree of care.

So at this moment, Chen Yi answered the question irrelevantly:

"So...where is my legal wife? My Lady."

Hearing him call her "Empress", Queen An's brows relaxed.

When she first came back from the underground palace, she felt resentful and wanted to get rid of him, but later... she came to her senses a little more.

Especially after arriving at Jin Ya Pavilion, when she saw him fall into the arms of that fake guy, she felt mixed emotions, so complicated that it was hard to describe.

Empress An said in a calm voice, "Your legal wife will be the one to be married after you are conferred the title of Marquis. I have never wanted to treat you unfairly, and this legal wife is naturally a rare beauty in the world."

Chen Yi slowly uttered four words: "Donggong Ruoshu?"

Her eyes narrowed as she heard this, and Queen An said meaningfully, "It seems Yi'er knows everything?"

Chen Yi sighed softly and said without reservation: "At that time...Lin Yan told me everything."

The Lin Party was planning to force a coup at the time. In order to win over Chen Yi, they told him all the plots behind the scenes, including the extermination of the An clan by the Chen clan of Jin, and the strange poison left in Chen Yi's body.

The candlelight flickered in Anhou's eyes.

She softened her voice and said, "It's not hard to guess, but... using you as a knife is just a thought in the past."

As he spoke, she saw Chen Yi concentrate.

At this time, the palace maid beside him was about to pour wine into Chen Yi's empty wine glass.

Queen An raised her hand to stop him and said loudly:
"Pour that medicine into the wine."

As the words fell, Su Xin, who had been prepared, took out a few light yellow pills from her arms. She picked up the pestle and crushed the pills. Waves of medicinal fragrance spread, and then she poured them into the wine.

The palace maid picked up the wine jug again and poured wine into Chen Yi's cup.

The slightly yellowed Jiaqing wine appeared in front of Chen Yi, and Queen An said, "This is the antidote."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, then raised the wine glass with his five fingers and drank the wine in it.

As the wine went into his stomach, Chen Yi suddenly felt his blood surging, flowing through his body like rushing water, and then hitting the acupoints that were accumulating the strange poison.

The medicinal effect spread to his limbs, and the acupoints that had suffered from the burning of the strange poison gradually relaxed. A feeling of comfort came one after another, and Chen Yi suddenly felt that his whole body was much lighter.

This is truly the antidote to the physical relic soup!
Chen Yi looked at Jun's mother in disbelief.

Queen An met his gaze and said calmly:

"To detoxify this flesh relic soup, you need five different kinds of elixirs. What you just took is one of the detoxifiers."

Chen Yi restrained his expression and asked:

"Then...what about other antidotes?"

Seeing Chen Yi's performance clearly, Queen An smiled and said, "I have said that I don't want you to die." After that, she stood up, her steps swaying slightly, as if she was drunk. Seeing this, Chen Yi stepped forward and held Queen An's arm.

After the palace maid came over, he let go of her hand, but Queen An waved her hand to stop the palace maid from helping her. She stood firmly and walked down the small building step by step.

Chen Yi followed closely behind, and the palace maids behind him did not follow under Su Xin's persuasion. This female official was particularly considerate of the emperor's intentions. She seemed to have realized where Queen An was going, and then asked people to prepare bait and send it to Lianyin Lake.

Queen An walked deeper and deeper on the stone brick road in the palace. There was no palace wall in sight along the way, only plants and trees. Chen Yi followed behind her, like a child who was unwilling to leave.

When Queen An stopped, Chen Yi saw the famous Lianyin Lake in the palace. The cool winter wind blew, rippling the surface of the water. Countless lotus pods were withered on the lake, and a koi fish was hiding deep in the lake, motionless as if in deep sleep.

The bait was placed on the stone table by the lake.

An Hou stood by the lake, her long skirt reaching the ground. She turned her back to Chen Yi and spoke slowly:

“You and Princess Annan can just have some fun.

The King of Annan is not a good person. He is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger. You never know, one day you might die in his hands."

Chen Yi raised his head and asked:

"My lady, are you concerned about me?"

"Why don't I care about you?" Queen An sighed softly, "Now I am being harmed by the remnant spirit of Tushan clan. If I don't care about you, who else can I care about?"

Chen Yi nodded sincerely, as if he was going to kneel down and thank her, but she waved her hand to stop him.

Empress An said with a smile: "How can a son kneel before his parents for everything? From now on, you don't have to kneel when you come to Jingren Palace."

Chen Yi's body swayed slightly, and finally he said "hmm" in a deep voice.

A breeze blew, and Queen An narrowed her eyes and exhaled a breath.

Ever since returning from the underground palace, this anger has been pent up in my heart for too long because of him.

But now that things have come to this, she has finally let it go.

What's more, he has already shown his filial piety.

"You don't want to die, and I don't want you to die either, but the Chen family of Jin State deserves to die eventually." Queen An said slowly.

"Your Majesty means that as long as the Chen family of Jin is eliminated..."

Chen Yi stood behind her and asked tentatively.

Queen An did not look around, did not turn back, and did not answer Chen Yi's question.

She picked up the brocade box containing the bait, picked up the bait with a handkerchief and threw it into the pool.

When Chen Yi looked over, he saw that the koi in the water suddenly woke up and scrambled to rush out of the water. In the cold wind, hundreds of koi were fighting for food, and it was a very lively scene.

“The fish in the pond have their freedom, but they have to stay in the pond.

Queen An watched the group of carps leaping and leaping, and said calmly:
"Every day someone feeds it, lets it play, and breeds it. It swims happily from one end to the other day and night until it dies of old age, and its offspring are born in the pond.

Do you understand what I said?"

There was silence behind him for a moment, and everyone lowered their heads, without a single word of response.

Queen An slowly turned her head and saw that he looked as if he understood something but not quite.

Chen Yi raised his eyes slightly, and the woman in the Yan Ju crown dress came into view. The long skirt reached the ground, but it couldn't hide her perfect round curves. The exposed skin on her neck was like mutton-fat jade, and her whole figure was extremely mature and beautiful.

When Queen An saw that he still didn't answer, she frowned slightly and said:

"From now on, listen to the palace's orders. Considering your loyalty and filial piety, you may not die. As for rewards, you will get whatever you want, as much as you want."

"Are you serious..." Chen Yi's voice sounded incredulous.

Seeing this, Queen An smiled and said, "You are not joking."

She gazed at this minister who had been promoted by her with gentle eyes.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and asked slowly, "What if this fish wants its master?"

There was a flash of surprise in Queen An's eyes.

At this moment, Chen Yi's figure flashed, and suddenly he appeared in front of her and suddenly held her in his arms.

A tingling and numb feeling came over her, and her pupils suddenly shrank, and her body trembled. The feeling came from her chest!
He clutched his heart...

"Your Majesty, I am very proud of myself now," he said sarcastically.

The figure in the phoenix robe stood still, his fingertips trembling in the air. A cold wind that could freeze one's blood just happened to blow, but the fish in the pond were still boiling and fighting for food.

I don’t know how much time passed.

When a dangerous aura attacked and Chen Yi had to let go of An Hou, the phoenix robe was already in disarray.

"You think you are my mother, but I don't necessarily think of myself as your son."

Chen Yi left these words and left without paying any attention to the man in the phoenix robe who was still standing there.

.....................

That night, inside Jingren Palace.

The Queen Mother of that country's hands were shaking, her face was gloomy, and a group of ministers and palace maids were trembling and kneeling on the ground, enduring the sound of the phoenix's cry:
"Send Donggong Ruoshu here, send Minming here, send Lin Wanhang here!"

The hoarse voice was mixed with coughs that were caused by the cold wind.
