Zhu'er still looked unaware, "The slave really doesn't know what the emperor is talking about, the slave just helps the queen go out of the palace to buy some things, and the slave and maid can leave the palace at any time with the emperor's permission." ”

Guo Ping gritted his teeth and slapped Zhu'er in the face, the sudden action caught Zhu'er off guard, and the whole person fell to the side, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, "You still dare to lie in front of me, I see that you are really bold, it is because I indulged her too much that you didn't even pay attention to me." ”

Zhu'er gasped slightly, feeling a hot pain on one side of her face, and before she could speak again, Guo Ping said angrily, "Wu Yong, drag her down for me, no matter what method you use, I want to hear the truth." ”

Wu Yong was naturally the most capable of doing so, and immediately asked the little eunuch to drag Zhu'er down. Just at the door, Xiao Wanyao hurriedly walked in from outside, "Wait a minute." She knew that if Zhu'er was taken down like this, even if she didn't die, she would lose half her life.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to catch Zhu'er, can you give your concubines a reason?" Xiao Wanyao came to Guo Ping with a deep gaze.

Guo Ping sneered, "The queen came at the right time, Zhu'er was caught by the people of the government outside, and there were two other people with her, didn't the queen know at all?" ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes were calm, with a hint of anger, she was originally smiling in front of him in front of him, but this time she really revealed her true nature, "How can the concubine know about it in the palace, and even if Zhu'er is with other people outside, what about it?" Did you violate any of the royal laws of the Chu State? The concubines can't go out of the palace, and Zhu'er often helps the concubines go out to buy some things, can't they meet one or two of their friends? Why did the emperor do this? Could it be that the emperor is suspicious of his concubines? So what is the emperor suspecting about his concubines? ”

Every word is aggressive, this is the real Xiao Wanyao, just like the one he saw her before. This is what she was supposed to be, Xiao Wanyao, who was pretending to be gentle, whispering, and swallowing her anger, was just acting like she was at all.

He found her at the beginning, but he stared at him with hatred and fear as he did at the beginning, there was no trace of tenderness in his eyes, after being together for so long, did he really have no feelings at all? She didn't care about herself at all? Thinking of this, Guo Ping grabbed Xiao Wanyao's neck and pinched it hard.

"Queen Mother!" Pearls screamed, but she was grabbed by someone behind her, pulling at her hair.

Xiao Wanyao stared at Guo Ping with a cold face, the more she looked like this, the more she pierced his heart, and at this moment, her heart was flustered, helpless, hateful, all of them came from her weakness, all because she was not ruthless enough, because she was not strong enough, if the person standing on this throne was herself, if all the power was in her own hands, why bother to whisper to others? Why are there so many concerns?

All the qiē she could have done. It's just that she still has a trace of unbearability in her heart.

Guo Ping's hand was trembling slightly, and finally he let go of her, Xiao Wanyao coughed lightly, he turned around and stopped looking at her, and stood with his hands in his hands. The person holding the pearl didn't know what to do, and stood there dumbfounded.

Guo Ping took a deep breath, and finally sighed, "Let her go, let her go back, and everyone else will go down." ”

Everyone left, and when Zhu'er was leaving, Xiao Wanyao gave her a look, signaling that she was okay and letting her go back with peace of mind. When there were only two people left in the imperial study, she and Guo Ping were left, and then he slowly turned around and stared at her intently, "The queen doesn't plan to tell me the truth." ”

Xiao Wanyao stared at him indifferently, "What the concubine said is the truth, the concubine didn't leave the palace." I don't know what the emperor is suspicious of in his heart, what is the emperor afraid of his concubines going out of the palace to do? ”

Every word of her reminded him of what he had done. Guo Ping kept his mouth shut, the two of them looked at each other, they were originally a couple, but there seemed to be an insurmountable gap in the middle, and finally he surrendered, because he still loved her, Guo Ping's tone softened, and said, "What do you want?" What the hell do you want me to do? ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes drooped and she didn't look at him, "The concubine has nothing else to ask for, just ask the emperor not to hurt the people the concubine cares about, this is the only condition for the concubine to come to Chu State, what the concubine wants is to live in this palace for the rest of her life, but what is the emperor thinking?" What exactly do you want? She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, why do you want to hurt Xue Tianao, what else do you want?

Guo Ping rushed to her in one step, close to her, "I want your heart, your qiē." But you are here, but your heart is not with me. ”

Xiao Wanyao stared at him and chuckled, with a touch of sarcasm, "The concubine doesn't understand, what is the heart?" Is it not the heart of the concubine who is devoted to you and to you? Isn't it the heart of the concubine to want to stay with you in this life? What else to do? As an emperor, in this harem, how many women have given all their hearts to you, but yours? ”

Her tears ran down his cheeks and pierced his heart, the first time she had ever cried so sadly.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Her voice trembled, and tears flowed uncontrollably, not only for what he was doing now, but also for what he was doing, "A heart can only be exchanged for a heart, if you give your concubine an incomplete heart, how can you be eligible to get all of your concubine?" Later, she almost screamed.

He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her closer, so close to her that he could almost see his reflection in her low tears, but his heart trembled, and his words were gagged, but he could not speak anyway.

He loves her and wants to give her everything, but he also has her helplessness. In the face of such a question, he was speechless......

"That's what you think?" Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice.

She looked up at him, pursed her lips and said, "The concubine has no heart, how can she pay with her heart, the concubine is going to disappoint the emperor." She slowly and vigorously withdrew her hand, from the moment she learned that Xue Tianao was arrested by Guo Ping, she was disappointed in him, and when she learned that Xue Tianao might die in the fire, she had already begun to hate.

Originally, she didn't have any intersection with him, she shouldn't have appeared in front of him in her life, it was just a teasing from God, she shouldn't have belonged to him, she shouldn't have stayed here. Maybe she had extravagant hopes before, or maybe she thought about finishing this life plainly, but now she is like ashes.

Turning away, there was no one in his empty gaze, no emotion. If Xue Tianao dies, her life will only be left with revenge, which is strange to say, how can people who have no heart hate them? How can a person who has no heart be so heartbroken? I really want to hollow out the piece on my chest, but if I didn't, I guess I would breathe more freely.

The moment she stepped out of the imperial study, he spoke, "As long as you stay in the palace quietly, as long as you stay by my side, I can ignore your sincerity, otherwise you will lose all the people you care about." ”

Xiao Wanyao stopped suddenly, her eyes were cold and murderous, and her hands were clenched tightly, holding a silver needle in her hand. He was indirectly admitting that he did kill Xue Tianao, but she couldn't kill him, just for Guo Rui.

But since the conditions have been proposed, what else is there to talk about, she raised her forehead slightly, "The concubine promised the emperor that as long as the emperor does not harm the people the concubine cares about, the concubine will never step out of this place for the rest of her life." After Xiao Wanyao finished speaking, she turned around and left the imperial study.

Back in Xiyun Palace, Zhu'er waited anxiously for her there, worried that something had happened to her. Seeing her come back, her heart was finally steady, she asked Cui'er to go out to control the wind, and then came to Xiao Wanyao's side, "Is the queen mother embarrassed you, does he know what happened today?" ”

Xiao Wanyao sat down in a daze and shook her head, "I didn't say anything to him, but he already knew, but he won't ask about this matter again." Pearl, where's Riel? I want to see Riel. ”

Pearls nodded, turned around and picked up Rui'er from the inner room, he was still sleeping, and he looked extremely cute. Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but moisten her eyes a little more when she saw him, and then handed Rui'er to Zhu'er, and after Zhu'er put him away, Xiao Wanyao noticed the scars on the corner of Zhu'er's mouth and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Zhu'er shook her head, "It's nothing that the queen mother Zhu'er has been wronged by this, it's just that today you are talking in front of the emperor like that, I'm afraid that the emperor will not treat you like before in the future." ”

Xiao Wanyao sneered, she didn't want to talk about him anymore, although she knew that if she wanted to live well in the harem, she had to please that man, but she didn't care about this at all. Even if she re-enters the cold palace, what does it matter, since he and she have spoken so clearly, she doesn't need to pretend anymore.

"Zhu'er, I still have to leave the palace! I want to know if that corpse is a celestial pride. Xiao Wanyao said stubbornly.

Zhu'er was a little worried, after this time, Guo Ping would definitely send someone to keep an eye on Xiao Wanyao, this time it was a fluke, so he was not caught by the emperor, if he went out again, it would be too dangerous, "Queen Mother, this matter will be handed over to Zhentian and Zhenling to investigate, if you go out of the palace again to let the emperor know what you are going to do, I am afraid that it will not be good for you and Rui'er." Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Ruier. If the person who died is really Xue Gongzi, Rui'er is his son, the queen mother, you have to think twice! ”

Xiao Wanyao closed her eyes tightly, her face was painful, she had concerns, she was also worried, all the qiqi couldn't let her do what she wanted. If that person was really arrogant, she didn't even see him for the last time.

Zhu'er looked at her sad appearance, she was very distressed, and she also cried, "The queen begs you, don't cry, okay?" Please, Pearl. Pearls couldn't help but kneel in front of her, looking up to wipe her tears.

And she bit her lower lip tightly, trying to control herself not to cry. The pain of forbearance originally looked even more uncomfortable on the surface. She thought about it all night, and finally she compromised, as Zhu'er said, in order to be still in swaddling clothes, she had to live in this deep palace. Be sure to raise Ruier as an adult.

Xiao Wanyao and the emperor fell out, and the rumors spread in the palace, and the happiest thing was of course Huo Yongdie, and the thing that made her happiest was that she was pregnant.

Huo Yongdie is pregnant, of course she will be the first to show off to the emperor, the entanglement of what Guo Ping Xiao Wanyao did, the disappointment and heartache of her, only after hearing that Huo Yongdie was pregnant, it was slightly better, and the pain is transferable for some people.

Chapter 227: Sharp

Guo Ping filled the so-called true feelings of the other concubines for himself to fill Xiao Wanyao's hollowed out heart.

So since then, Guo Ping has rarely gone to Xiyun Palace, according to the regulations, Guo Ping has to go to Xiyun Palace several times a month to have dinner with the queen, and occasionally due to the etiquette problem, he will go to her for a turn, but since he stayed for a short time, at most he only teased Rui'er. Riel was his last hope for her.

The queen's fall from grace was not only known to everyone in the harem, but even the ministers of the court and the central government began to discuss it. This does not bode well for a country, not to mention that there are people behind the scenes who want to take advantage of this to plot against them.

Huo Yongdie's father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and from the moment he began to plan to marry his daughter to Guo Ping, he had no intention of letting his daughter only be a concubine in the harem. Therefore, Huo Fanghao asked people to mention the bad relationship between the emperor and the queen intentionally or unintentionally in the court.

It's just that Guo Ping has never admitted to this, so those ministers don't have anything to talk about. The matter faded away.

After Xiao Wanyao fell out of favor, the person who came to see her most often was Huo Yongdie, who naturally came to mock her, because she was also pregnant at this time, so she was even more arrogant, with no one in her eyes, and she didn't even pay attention to the queen's courtesy.

On this day, Huo Yongdie came to Xiyun Palace again, and walked in directly, Zhu'er wanted to go up to stop her, but was blocked by Bi'er beside Huo Yongdie, and before Zhu'er could speak, she slapped her, "Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant, you'd better be careful as a minion, if Concubine Xian has a good one, you have a few lives that are not enough." ”

Huo Yongdie was naturally very satisfied with what Bi'er did, she just came to give Xiao Wanyao some color. And she must neutralize her prestige in the harem, so that others know that even if she is not the queen, but in the harem, she-Huo Yongdie has the final say.

Zhu'er was slapped, Xiao Wanyao was naturally unhappy, got up and said angrily, "Come on, drag Bi'er, a cheap girl, out for me and beat me fifty boards." It's just no one. ”

Bi'er hid behind Huo Yongdie with a pitiful face.

She naturally supported her, "Queen Mother, don't blame Bi'er for playing beads for a reason, that cheap thing almost hit the concubine, and now the concubine is pregnant with the emperor's child in her belly, if anything happens, she can't even live, Bi'er is also good for her." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the house, and sat down on the soft couch, "Queen, you should also discipline and discipline your subordinates well, why do you understand the rules so much, sure enough, they are all savages in the rivers and lakes, and they don't understand anything." ”

Huo Yongdie's words are also indirectly satirizing Xiao Wanyao.

Xiao Wanyao saw that her words were not good for the people around her, so she stepped forward in person and walked to Huo Yongdie's side with a smile on her face, "It's not warm here, Concubine Xian Niangniang came here to sit." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Concubine Xian up, and the queen personally came to support herself, if this was spread out, the queen would be even more faceless, and she was also happy, so she really got up and walked down from the soft couch.

However, as soon as she stood up, she was slapped the face, "Things that don't have long eyes, the laws of the Chu State are still there, and the rules left by the ancestors are still there, as long as the palace is still here, you will always be a concubine, and you will always have to kneel down to the palace." ”

Huo Yongdie covered her face, and was about to open her mouth, Xiao Wanyao slapped her again, this time she held a silver needle in her hand, and a scar was left on her watery cheek.

The silver needle was very thin, the scar was very shallow, her hand was fast and very, and the pain of the slap had long covered the pain of the silver needle. So Huo Yongdie didn't notice it at all.

"You, you're going to beat me instead?" Huo Yongdie's eyes widened in disbelief.

But before the words fell, there was another slap, "It's you who don't understand the rules and don't respect the law." Look carefully, this palace is the queen. ”

followed by another slap, and Huo Yongdie's eyes were full of stars, and her brain began to be unconscious.

Xiao Wanyao said it quickly, and she started it quickly, when Bi'er stepped forward to stop her, Xiao Wanyao kicked her leg, and Bi'er fell to the ground, frowning in pain.

Xiao Wanyao stepped forward, pointed her finger at her, and scolded angrily, "Sue sù Bengong, who is a cheap thing who doesn't have long eyes?" Immediately followed by another kick, Bi'er screamed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "The queen mother spares her life, the queen mother spares her life." ”

She and Huo Yongdie, no one thought that a gentle Xiao Wanyao would do such a thing, her eyes seemed to be able to eat people, until Bi'er screamed on the ground one after another, Huo Yongdie woke up, and shouted, "Someone! Go and call the emperor, go and call the emperor......"

Xiao Wanyao sneered when she heard Huo Yongdie's voice, but instead calmed down, turned around and sat down leisurely on the soft couch, "Cui'er, drag Bi'er down for me." No one is allowed to take her out of Xiyun Palace without my order. ”

Bi'er was dragged out in a wail, begging all the time, "Concubine Xian save me, Concubine Xian Niangniang ......"

Huo Yongdie was also frightened, she was confused for a while by Xiao Wanyao's slaps, and the people around her were all eyeing her, and they didn't dare to be arrogant. I had to grit my teeth and endure it.

Xiao Wanyao, let's slowly calculate this account in the future.

After Huo Yongdie left, Zhu'er was a little worried, "Queen Mother, Concubine Xian is now being favored, will it be ...... to offend her so much?"

Xiao Wanyao snorted lightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, "There are no people in this world who are afraid of this palace, if they really want to do this, this palace will accompany them to the end." Let's see who has more means, and who can make who more life worse than death. ”

Huo Yongdie came to Guo Ping crying, and when he learned about this incident, he was naturally a little unhappy, "If she doesn't provoke you, why should you provoke her, since you can't get along, it's okay if you don't meet, you are pregnant now, so don't go to her." ”

Although Guo Ping was comforting herself, no matter how Huo Yongdie listened, she was thinking that Xiao Wanyao was talking, she wiped her tears and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty~ People didn't mean to provoke her, they just ......"

Guo Ping put down the pen in his hand, he understood Xiao Wanyao's cold arrogance, and knew that the most real she was not a person who was bullied casually, but more like a hedgehog with thorns all over her body, but just like a hedgehog, the harder the thorns outside, it showed that she tried hard to protect the softest place in her heart, and it was also a place that could not be touched by others.

And he also knows Huo Yongdie, if she hadn't deliberately made her angry, this would not have happened, not to mention that Huo Yongdie's father in the court had already begun to say in his ear that it was inappropriate for a Wei person to be the queen of Chu, so he couldn't be too spoiled by Huo Yongdie.

Most of the women in the harem are inextricably linked to the interests of the previous dynasty, so he wants a bowl of water, but Xiao Wanyao is the only one who has no relatives and no reason here, but she is the one who is most easily bullied.

But after all, she made him sad, and she was very disappointed, and she must not want her to be too arrogant, so she coaxed Huo Yongdie to make her angry, and then found Xiao Wanyao again.

On this day, it was the dinner that Huo Yongdie was packed up by Xiao Wanyao, Xiao Wanyao was eating with chopsticks, and it was rumored that the emperor had arrived. She was slightly stunned, thinking that she was hallucinating. It wasn't until Guo Ping walked to the door and saw his figure that she got up in a trance and went over to salute, "The concubine sees the emperor, is there anything wrong with the emperor in Xiyun Palace so late?" ”

She wouldn't let him in and asked directly.

Guo Ping glanced at the dining table, turned around and walked in by himself, "I want to eat here." After that, he sat down, and Zhu'er hurriedly prepared dishes and chopsticks for Guo Ping.

Xiao Wanyao stood at the door, staring at his back, her eyes couldn't help but narrow, having dinner? It must be because of Huo Yongdie's incident during the day.

She returned to her seat, picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat, he didn't speak, and she didn't speak. And the more he looked at her, the more she gulped down.

Suddenly, Guo Ping put down his chopsticks and smiled suddenly, "Queen, you have a good appetite recently!" ”

Xiao Wanyao hummed without raising her head, there were a lot of things in her mouth, and she said vaguely, "Recently, I have taught a few wicked people a lesson, and I am in a good mood, so everything the concubines eat is delicious, I can't stop, and the emperor will also come to taste it." As he spoke, he took food and put it in his bowl.

Guo Ping looked down and immediately felt disgusted, she was sandwiching the dish he hated the most.

Because of this dish before, Xiao Wanyao had a serious argument with Guo Ping, she liked it, he didn't like it. She asked for a meal, and he asked that it should never be served.

As a result, Xiao Wanyao won, winning in his tolerance and pampering. But today, Guo Ping frowned, "Zhu'er, bring that dish down, as long as I eat here in the future, I won't be allowed to have that dish." ”

Zhu'er paused for a moment and stepped forward to serve the dish, while Xiao Wanyao grabbed the plate and pressed it on the table, "The emperor didn't let the eunuch say that he was going to have dinner here, so the concubine didn't prepare it for the emperor." ”

Guo Ping's gaze suddenly turned cold, "Xiao Wanyao, don't take an inch." ”

She didn't show weakness either, "The emperor calls the name of the concubine, can the concubine also call the emperor's name?" ”

Guo Ping paused slightly, this kind of scene reminded him of the occasional small quarrel between the young couple when he was still the prince, "I'm right." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a snap, Xiao Wanyao slapped on the table, "Guo Ping, don't take an inch, say something or anything, don't come to that useless set, you came today to fight Huo Yongdie during the day, what kind of bend, just say no." ”

Guo Ping was stunned by her and was speechless for a while, but the two of them did not look like the emperor and queen who were polite before.

Xiao Wanyao continued, "I hit her, it's because she should have beaten her, and she shouldn't have come to provoke me. If you feel sorry for her, then punish me, kill or chop whatever you want, hit the board, enter the cold palace, at most one death, when a queen has to be so wronged, this queen girl will not do it. ”

Fortunately, Zhu'er was the only one present at the time, she grew her mouth in surprise, and after reacting, she hurriedly went out to break away from the people outside, and closed the door, leaving only the two of them.

"Xiao Wanyao, what did you say?" Guo Ping stood up abruptly.

Xiao Wanyao rolled up her sleeves and did not show weakness, "I said, if you have to participate in everything in the harem and support them in everything, then I, the queen, will not do it, and you will find whoever you like." ”

Guo Pingqi almost fainted, is this what the queen of a country should say? This is...... However, this is indeed like what Xiao Wanyao said.

Inexplicably, I suddenly found a familiar feeling in my heart, what I was in front of me was the real her, a woman without any restraints, the most real, when he named her the queen, she changed, and he began to not know him.

Suddenly, Guo Ping laughed and looked up to the sky and laughed.

This made Xiao Wanyao stunned, "What are you laughing at?" I'm serious. ”

She couldn't figure out what Guo Ping was thinking at this time? In the past, she had always been forbearing, but now she doesn't want to be like that anymore, she is a queen, so she should look like a queen. R1154
