Shangguan Yunfan smiled suddenly, interesting, so interesting. After Shangguan Yunfan saw the carriage leave, he turned around and hurried towards Zhenling and them, and when they got there, the house had become a sea of fire, and there were neighbors standing nearby, everyone didn't know what was going on, but they all knew that people from the government had come, so they didn't dare to interfere.

He stayed there for a moment and didn't find the Earthquake Spirit and the Earthquake Heaven, and the people from the government were no longer there. With no news, he turned around and went back to his house.

No matter where Shangguan Yunfan goes, he is dazzling and radiant, naturally the credit for the jewels he carries is indispensable here, and he just likes to be public, but such a person who likes to be public, but he has a set of unknown escape talents.

His mansion is on the most prosperous street in the capital of Chu, and it is the largest mansion there, this mansion has been abandoned for a long time, it is said that it is the former residence of a corrupt official who was disposed of, and the silver was returned to the treasury after the official mansion was sold, so Shangguan Yunfan bought it.

As soon as he entered the mansion, one of his cronies hurriedly walked over, "Shangguan Gongzi, someone is looking for you, in the bedroom." ”

Shangguan Yunfan paused slightly, thinking that it would be Zhenling them, and said to his cronies, "Close the door of the mansion, no matter who comes, they will say that I am not there, and no one will be allowed to come in without my permission." ”

The cronie nodded and went to close the door, while Shangguan Yunfan strode towards his bedroom.

The door was hidden, and at a glance he knew that there was someone inside, he pushed the door in, and there was a sudden smell of blood in the house, "Who is it?" He spoke.

Hearing that it was Shangguan Yunfan's voice, Zhenling slowly walked out from behind the curtain, his face pale and covered in blood, "Zhentian, they took you away!" As soon as he finished speaking, Shaker fainted.

Shangguan Yunfan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, so as not to let her fall to the ground, he knew a little about medical skills, although he knew more about poison, but it was not difficult for him to check the knife wounds, in order to prevent more people from knowing that Zhenling was here, Shangguan Yunfan carried her to the bed and personally checked her wounds.

Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, and she only passed out because of excessive blood loss. So she asked people to prepare herbs and called Hui'er to bandage her wounds.

After cleaning up, Hui'er walked out of the dormitory, Shangguan Yunfan sat on a chair in the hall and pondered, only when he heard footsteps did he turn around, "How is she?" ”

Hui'er wrinkled her nose, wiped her freshly washed hands with a dry cloth and said, "I'm still in a coma, but it's fine, I'll wake up after a while." Then he sat down on the chair on the side and tilted his head to stare at Shangguan Yunfan, "I just found you, and you got into trouble, who is this person?" Why save her? ”

Shangguan Yunfan glanced at Hui'er, Hui'er, who was just fifteen years old, was a child that Shangguan Yunfan picked up when he was doing business in Chu a few years ago, and took it with him, because he was always wandering around, so he handed Hui'er over to a Chu person to take care of, gave her a lot of money and left.

Thinking about it, when she picked up Hui'er, she was only seven years old, and eight years have passed.

Shangguan Yunfan clasped his hands to his chest, with a wicked smile, "It's just a person I know, if you want to say why you want to save her, I just think this matter is a bit interesting, so I ......"

"So you're going to come in? You're really bored. Hui'er glanced at him with disdain, and then said, "Brother Yunfan, are you going to take me out of here in the future?" I'm grown up now, you can't leave me alone. ”

Shangguan Yunfan was stunned and said lazily, "Eh...... I'll have to think about it again. But for the time being, you can follow me, because I won't be leaving Chu in the near future. I still have to do business with the Emperor of Chu. ”

Hui'er narrowed her eyes with a hint of cunning, "I don't think you want to do business with the emperor, you have other plans for the emperor's wife." ”

Shangguan Yunfan raised his eyebrows and glared at Hui'er obliquely, "You can't talk nonsense, you have to let the emperor know, you and I have hundreds of heads that are not enough to cut off, not to mention, I will only get involved because these things are interesting, if it is very boring, it is better for me to develop poison." ”

Hui'er shook her head, and looked like you couldn't fool me, "Although I haven't been by your side in the past few years, I can see that you care about that woman very much, but it's a pity that she is married now, and she is still a queen, so you can only look at it from afar." ”

Shangguan Yunfan didn't want to continue this topic with her, he couldn't be clearer about this matter, but since Xiao Wanyao separated from him from Hezhou a few years ago, he had already seen it and buried some things deep in his heart, life is just a process, why bother so much.

Some things don't have to be possessed to last forever.

"What about Yanran? Didn't she ask you to come over? How's it going? Shangguan Yunfan changed the topic, Hui'er don't look at the age of fifteen, this little girl is eccentric, no one cares about her on weekdays, she often causes trouble outside, in the local area, they are frequent visitors in the yamen, but they are also very familiar with the people in the yamen.

She knows how to bribe those people, and she has a certain talent that she is born with, so that she has also made friends with many people with 'unique personalities'. Shangguan Yunfan didn't want her to get involved in his own affairs, out of protection for her. But this time, I can't look for her.

Hui'er paused, "I don't know, she said she would come over!" It's just that she hasn't seen the dragon all day long, who has been doing anything until now. Maybe I don't have time to worry about you. ”

Shangguan Yunfan suddenly frowned, if Yan Ran didn't come, it wouldn't work, this matter was really without her, "You didn't sue her, can you make her a million profits after this matter is done?" The treasures in the palace, whatever she wants. ”

Hui'er nodded fiercely, "I said it!" As you said it was. ”

"How did she answer?"

She said think about it! After all, once this matter is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Shangguan Yunfan could only nod silently, Yan Ran should indeed think about it, but this is not like her style of doing things, if she usually talks about money, she will inevitably appear.

Xiao Wanyao sat in Han Qianqian's carriage and rushed to the palace, the two of them were silent, and it was not until they were about to enter the palace that Xiao Wanyao spoke, "How did you know that I was here?" Why help me? ”

Han Qianqian turned her eyes to look at her, her expression indifferent, "I'm not helping you, I'm just helping another person." And he asked me to come, I don't know anything else, my task is to escort you back to the palace. She paused slightly, glanced out of the car, and was almost there.

Then let Bi'er bring the prepared clothes and hand them to Xiao Wanyao, "This is the queen's clothes that Cui'er took from your palace, change them, do you know that it is a big crime for the harem concubine to go out of the palace casually, once you enter the palace, we will be in the palace for life and death, fortunately, you have not been out for a long time, the emperor went to Xiyun Palace and found that you were not there, I have already sent someone to say that you are there with me." ”

Xiao Wanyao changed her clothes, but she still didn't understand why Han Qianqian wanted to help herself, and who would she say would help another person?

Soon they returned to the palace and went directly to Changchun Palace, and after Han Qianqian returned to the palace, he immediately changed into the clothes of the concubine. The palace gate is as deep as the sea, and some people think that becoming the emperor's concubine will enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, but some people think that it is like a prison.

Those concubines who entered the palace, although they were dressed in fine clothes every day, they really lost their freedom, and the concubines in the palace were not allowed to leave the palace. They will stay in the palace until they die, unless the emperor dies and the new emperor registers, they will have their own places, and only a few will continue to stay in the harem. Of course, the average concubine is very bleak in her later years.

Xiao Wanyao knew these things too well, so she hated that place, and she wanted to escape all the time.

But in the end, I still can't escape the tricks of fate, and although I am already a queen, I don't have a trace of happiness.

Not long after they returned to Changchun Palace, Guo Ping looked for it, and saw Xiao Wanyao and Han Qianqian sitting together chatting, slightly stunned, his subordinates personally saw the queen dressed as a eunuch and leave the palace.

When the two saw Guo Ping coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted, Guo Ping sat down with a calm face, "Why is the queen here?" ”

Xiao Wanyao's expression was natural and unflustered, "After Li Zheng checked the pulse of the concubine, he said that the concubine had been in Xiyun Palace for too long, so she was thinking nonsense all day long and messing up. The concubine also felt that she should come out for a walk, so she came to chat with her sister. ”

Guo Ping looked at Han Qianqian, "But when I sent someone over just now, you weren't in the palace. ”

Han Qianqian smiled, "The concubine and the queen went to the garden together, and they didn't tell the people, so they didn't know where the concubine and the queen mother went." ”

Guo Ping was still a little skeptical, but after asking a few words, he found that what they said was not leaky, and it was probably just more than two hours, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but he asked again, for fear that it would hurt and anger, and he didn't ask more.

After he left Changchun Palace, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he called Wu Yong, "Is there any news from the Mandate of Heaven to come back?" ”

Wu Yong replied, "Your Majesty, you haven't sent anyone back yet." ”

Guo Ping returned to the imperial study with doubts, and as soon as he sat down, a little eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, the Mandate of Heaven is asking to see you outside." ”

Guo Ping paused, "Quickly call him in." ”

After the Mandate of Heaven came in, he saluted, his face was a little ugly, and Guo Ping opened his mouth and asked, "Did you catch someone?" ”

Heavenly Destiny nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, I caught Zhentian, and the other one named Zhenling has fled, and he didn't catch the person the emperor said." And in another place, the subordinates also caught Miss Zhu'er. ”

Guo Ping paused slightly, "Zhu'er? Then I thought of the queen's exit from the palace, the queen's exit from the palace, this is not a trivial matter, and she left the palace without hiding herself, "Bring her over, I will interrogate her personally." ”

Otherwise, Zhu'er was taken to the imperial study, and naturally there were people on the other side who secretly reported to Xiao Wanyao.

Zhu'er was dragged in by Wuhua and knelt in front of the emperor, "What crime did Zhu'er commit in the emperor, why did you tie Zhu'er back like this?" ”

Guo Ping paused slightly, this little girl was not afraid at all, and dared to be arrogant, he came down from the imperial study and walked in front of her, "You accompanied the queen out of the palace today?" ”

Zhu'er was stunned, her face full of doubts, "Back to the emperor, the slave maid is indeed out of the palace today, but she did not go out of the palace with the queen mother, not to mention how the queen mother can go out of the palace casually." ”

Guo Ping smiled coldly, walked behind her, slowly walked around her, came to her again, leaned over slightly and stared at her eyes, "Zhu'er, if you don't tell the truth, I have a way to make you speak." ”

Chapter 226: Husband and wife

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.
