In the palace, the veil is lightly raised.

Yu Jinfan lowered his eyes, holding a bamboo stick wrapped in a cotton ball in his hand, stained with the potion in the white porcelain, carefully handling the red marks on Shen Rui's body, frowning from time to time, and there seemed to be flames flickering in his eyes.

Shen Rui sat on the side of the table, half of her body □□, and her willow eyebrows were tightened.

Yu Jinfan raised his eyes and glanced at her, his face gloomy.

Shen Rui was furious all over her body when she saw it, and her body shrank in-

"Don't move!" Yu Jinfan said coldly.

Shen Rui's eyes glowed pitifully, and she said aggrievedly: "It hurts." ”

Hearing this, a trace of distress flashed on Yu Jinfan's face, followed by more annoyance. She continued to apply the blinding red marks in a muffled voice, and her face became more and more gloomy, but her movements became more and more careful.

"Fan." Shen Rui called tentatively.

Yu Jinfan didn't look at her, and didn't say a word.

"Really angry?" Shen Rui asked, leaning her face in front of her and teasing her eyebrows.

Yu Jinfan got up, walked around behind her, and continued to deal with it with an indifferent expression.

It's over. Shen Ruixin said, her eyes rolled, and she exclaimed in pain: "It hurts!" ”

Sure enough, the person behind him immediately stopped and asked, "Where?" ”

Shen Rui turned around, held someone's hand and touched it to his heart, and his tone was not serious: "It hurts, it hurts here." ”

As soon as Yu Jinfan saw that she was pretending, the already blocked qi burst out, withdrew his hand, and turned around to leave-

"Yu Jinfan!"

Yu Jinfan's steps stopped, neither moving forward, nor retreating.

"Come back!"

Yu Jinfan frowned.

Hey! The wings are still stiff! Shen Ruixin said, she couldn't care about the pain on her body, hugged her from behind, and said in someone's ear: "I'm sorry." ”

I'm sorry, and the one who should say I'm sorry should be myself. Yu Jinfan felt guilty in his heart, and after some psychological struggle, he held her hand and turned to face her: "Nanmu, promise me one thing, protect yourself, don't worry about the affairs of the palace." ”

"But—"

"No, but!" Yu Jinfan said anxiously, holding her hand tightened: "Don't care about anything, just stay with me here!" ”

"Then what's the difference between the furnishings in this palace?" Shen Rui asked rhetorically, feeling unhappy. She just wants to share her worries for Yu Jinfan and wants to advance and retreat with her, why she just doesn't understand.

Yu Jinfan was dumbfounded and rolled his eyes: "Maybe you shouldn't have entered the palace in the first place." ”

Shen Rui was shocked, as if her heart had been pierced by something, and it hurt a thousand points more than the soreness on her body, ten thousand points! She shook off Yu Jinfan's hand vigorously, her eyes were angry: "Yu Jinfan, you say it again!" ”

"Wang, Empress Dowager Tong is looking for you in the past." Outside the palace, Min Hyuk Road.

Yu Jinfan looked at Shen Rui, opened his mouth, and finally turned his back and said indifferently: "I'll come to see you later." With that, he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Don't come later, I don't want to see you!" Shen Rui shouted angrily, and the palace door was closed with a loud sound.

Looking back at the closed palace gate, Yu Jinfan shook his head helplessly and continued to move forward.

After leaving the palace gate, Min Hyuk, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth: "King, why don't you tell Queen Sù about a qiē?" Don't you believe her? ”

"How could I not believe her." Yu Jinfan laughed at himself, put his hands behind his back, and continued to move forward with heavy steps: "The more you know, the more dangerous it is, Min Hyuk, I don't want to lose her." ”

Jinyang Palace.

"Queen Mother, the king is here." Huanxiang, who was outside the door, saw Yu Jinfan coming from a distance, trotted all the way, and reported to the Empress Dowager Tong.

When Empress Dowager Tong heard this, she slowly opened her closed eyes and waved her hand: "Let's all step down." ”

"Yes." Huanxiang got up and led all the palace people in the palace to retreat outside the palace.

The footsteps approached, and she didn't need to look at the Empress Dowager Tong to know who was coming, and the daughter who was brought up by herself, no one knew better than her. Turning the Buddha beads in her hand, without waiting for someone to speak, Empress Dowager Tong said lightly: "Sit down and talk." ”

After a pause in the footsteps of entering the palace gate, Yu Jinfan walked to her side and sat down with a cold face.

The mother and daughter sat side by side, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the huge palace was cold to freezing.

After a full quarter of an hour, Yu Jinfan was a little immature after all, and couldn't help but open his mouth first: "Mother, our agreement can still count." ”

"Naturally, it counts, but you, a lady, are you really trustworthy?" Empress Dowager Tong stopped the beads turning in her hand, and her cold eyes were sharp.

Yu Jinfan pursed his lips, got up, knelt down in front of her, and landed on both knees together: "Erchen guarantees!" She said, banging her head on the ground.

Empress Dowager Tong glanced at her and said unmoved: "Do you know what she did? ”

Yu Jinfan clenched his fists: "Nanmu is not sensible, please forgive me!" ”

Empress Dowager Tong slapped the table with a slap, which shook the palace loudly, and even Min He and Huanxiang, who were outside the palace, listened carefully and lowered their heads in fear. "Ignorant? Fan'er, she's following this palace! Empress Dowager Tong said, and her willow eyebrows stood up like a sharp sword.

Yu Jinfan raised his head, looked directly at the Empress Dowager Tong, and asked rhetorically: "If the mother concubine has nothing to hide from me, what do you care?" ”

Empress Dowager Tong narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly: "The king is suspicious of this palace." ”

Yu Jinfan didn't dodge either, and asked directly: "The son only asks, does the death of my father have anything to do with you?" ”

Empress Dowager Tong's eyes narrowed deeper, and Yu Jinfan, who was looking directly, felt a chill in her heart. "What did Mrs. Shen tell you?" She asked, and the Buddha in her hand spun slowly again.

Nanmu didn't say anything. Yu Jinfan hurriedly said.

"It better be!" Empress Dowager Tong snorted coldly, her expression cold: "Whether you believe it or not, the death of the first king has nothing to do with this palace." ”

Yu Jinfan's heart was relieved, and after hesitation, she reached out and held the hand of the Empress Dowager Tong: "Mother, my father has gone, and my sons and daughters will sit on the throne as you wish, let's end it." ”

When Empress Dowager Tong heard this, she laughed sarcastically: "Fan'er, when did you become so naïve? ”

Yu Jinfan was dumbfounded, and his hand had been thrown away by the Empress Dowager Tong.

Empress Dowager Tong stood up, looked condescendingly at her daughter kneeling on the ground, and said word by word: "Today, this palace wants you to remember your identity, you are the emperor, carrying the lives of the entire Southern Chu and millions of people, and the well-being of the people is in your hands!" If there is no country, there is no home, you have time to worry about Mrs. Shen, think about how to solve the border dispute first! ”

"I didn't have the heart to take on a big responsibility, but the burden weighed on me." Yu Jinfan laughed at himself, and staggered up from the ground: "Erchen is taught!" I just ask my mother to abide by the agreement, I will set the country, and you will stay in Nanmu. ”

Empress Dowager Tong turned around with hatred: "Get out!" ”

Yu Jinfan straightened his waist and raised his chin: "Lonely retirement!" ”

When the others left, the Empress Dowager Tong sat down on the chair, without the slightest coldness before, and her face was helpless.

Huanxiang walked in and said worriedly: "The Queen Mother takes care of her body." ”

"She blames Hongu." Empress Dowager Tong sighed and placed the Buddha on the table: "Every time I see Fan'er in this palace, I think about how good it would be if she was not a child of this palace." ”

"The Queen Mother—"

Empress Dowager Tong waved her hand: "Tell me to go down, keep an eye on Zhong Honghai and Yu Chenghai, and report immediately if there is any movement!" ”

"Yes!"

Huanxiang was about to retreat, but the Empress Dowager Tong stopped her again: "Huanxiang, go and find out which of these important ministers in the court have daughters." ”

Huanxiang was stunned: "Does the Queen Mother want to give the princess to the king?" ”

"The new king ascends the throne, the court is turbulent, and marriage is the best choice." Empress Dowager Tong said in a deep voice.

"The slave fears that the king will not agree."

Empress Dowager Tong looked outside the palace, deep and distant: "There will be gains and losses, she will agree." ”

In Qianhua Palace, the palace people are busy, packing up the items in the palace and moving into Jinyang Palace in accordance with the order of the Empress Dowager Tong. As for Qianhua Palace, the new Wang's wife, Shen Rui, will move in today and become the new owner here.

"The Empress Dowager Tong must have no good intentions to let the queen mother move into the Jinyang Palace, and the sons are really worried that the queen mother will be bullied by her." In front of the palace, Yu Chenghai took the hand of the Empress Dowager Zhong and said.

Hearing the words 'Empress Dowager Tong', Empress Dowager Zhong's face flushed unnaturally. "Hai'er is relieved, with your uncle here, she doesn't dare." Empress Dowager Zhong said, patted Yu Chenghai's hand soothingly, paid attention to his eyes vigilantly, and reminded in a low voice: "Be cautious in your words and deeds, don't be killed by telling the truth." ”

"Erchen understands." Yu Chenghai said, clenched the hand of the Empress Dowager Zhong, and lowered his voice: "The queen mother is waiting for good news, this throne will be the son of a minister sooner or later." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was shocked when she heard this: "Hai'er! The new king has a lot of eyeliner, so don't mess around? ”

Yu Chenghai frowned: "When did the queen mother become so timid?" ”

"The first king has left an edict, you and I have lost, the monarch and the minister are different, and this time is different from the past."

"Erchen doesn't admit defeat!" Yu Chenghai withdrew his hand, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "The queen mother should not say such frustrating words, so that the sons and daughters are unlucky!" ”

"Hai'er!" Empress Dowager Zhong said bitterly: "Your father is dead, and the queen mother has no other wishes, only to ask you for peace and well-being!" ”

"She Yu Jinfan will be the king one day, and I, Yu Chenghai, will not have a day of happiness!" Yu Chenghai said, stubbornly: "Erchen promised Ziyan, he will be the king and she will be the queen, and share the family!" If the queen mother is willing to help me, the son is grateful, if the queen mother wants to stop me, forgive the son for not being filial and unable to listen! "Anyway, no more words, say goodbye and leave.

Empress Dowager Zhong chased outside the palace, but finally failed to catch up, and hurriedly called the palace people: "Ruixi, quickly send my brother to see the palace!" ”

Yu Chenghai didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zhong would deny herself, and returned to the mansion in a very bad mood. As soon as he entered the door, Lan Xie greeted him: "Childe, Miss Zhong is waiting for you in the hall." ”

Hearing this, Yu Chenghai changed his face and went to the hall happily. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Zhong Ziyan on the guest seat, and happily called: "Ziyan! ”

Seeing him come back, Zhong Ziyan stopped playing with the jade bracelet, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he got up to greet him: "Cousin." ”

Yu Chenghai took her hand, looked up and down, and said with concern: "Are you still feeling unwell?" ”

"Let my cousin worry, purple smoke is fine." Zhong Ziyan said, but his face was melancholy.

"Purple smoke is not happy?" Yu Chenghai asked.

Zhong Ziyan shook his head and glanced at him, his eyes were already red. "Ziyan is unhappy with my cousin, this throne should be yours." She said, turning her back to wipe away her tears.

When Yu Chenghai heard this, he was both moved and distressed, he straightened Zhong Ziyan and said affectionately: "In the whole world, the one who understands me best and feels the most sorry for me is Ziyan." ”

Zhong Ziyan threw herself into his arms and said excitedly: "Don't worry, my father and I will do our best to help you win the throne!" ”

Yu Chenghai had tears in his eyes and hugged her hard: "If you have a wife like this, where will your husband go." ”

Zhong Ziyan was buried in his arms, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his pale pink lips.
