Yongde Palace.

There was a heavy wheezing sound behind the heavy brocade tent, and the two figures were vaguely entangled in collusion, and the situation in the tent was obviously reached, only to hear a man's voice suddenly whisper a few times: Yan'er, Yan'er...... Then he straightened up and stopped.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and only two people breathed quietly.

After a while, the man got up and got dressed, and a white greasy arm stretched out to hook him: "Your Majesty, it's so late, why don't you rest here with the concubine tonight?" ”

The emperor removed the woman's arm, put it back in the quilt and patted it again, and coaxed: "I still have some official business, you can sleep first." ”

As he spoke, he hurried out of Yongde Palace, and it seemed that he didn't want to stay for a second.

The night was dark, and although it was late spring, the night was still cold. The emperor left and right away, walked alone on the empty path of the imperial garden, and took a deep breath of the cold night air.

He knew that Concubine Hua was a fake, a substitute, and for so many years he had long been accustomed to looking at another person through Concubine Hua, another person he would never get.

Concubine Hua is also smart, and has found many portraits of that person, and every time he comes, she deliberately puts on the same costume as that person, and tries her best to please him. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been favored for so many years.

But for some reason, these days, he has become more and more unbearable, as long as he sees Concubine Hua, he can't help but think of the words "impostor", and at the same time, another face more like that person appears in front of him.

Concubine Hua just looks like that person, that person's momentum and bones, she can't learn it no matter how she learns, but the other person is different, she has that person's blood, that person's flesh, and the posture between her bright eyes and anticipation is exactly the same as that person many years ago.

A strong desire poured into the emperor's heart, he wanted to hold the woman firmly in his hands, God must have taken pity on him for missing that marriage more than twenty years ago, so he sent another person who was exactly the same to him.

But what should he do? That girl has a marriage contract with one of his excellent sons, and is favored by another son who even he is afraid of at the same time, what should he do to not leave the infamy of taking his son's wife, but also to take her into his hands?

And that damn prophecy, should he believe it or not, should he keep her, or kill her?

He hadn't been so moved for many years, but now the feeling of moving his heart made him feel as if he was many years younger, as if he had returned to his youth, and he was full of passion and strength.

But he was very conflicted, he had never encountered such a complicated situation, it was even more complicated than when he fought the world.

With a long sigh, the emperor frowned and slowly walked back to his dormitory.

……

In the brocade tent of Yongde Palace, Concubine Hua slowly sat up, and the palace maid who was waiting immediately brought a bowl of soup to replenish her body and sent it to Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua took a sip, and suddenly slammed the bowl out with a fierce force, and the porcelain bowl fell on the ground covered with a thick carpet, not broken, but the bones rolled far away, until it reached the gate of the palace, and then it stopped with a clanging sound.

"Niangniang...... the palace maid cried out in surprise, and knelt on the ground with a plop, her face full of confusion and panic. The emperor has just come, everything is fine, why is Niangniang so angry?

Concubine Hua raised her hand to comb the hair on her sideburns, her eyes were cold, and she said calmly: "Go and invite the six princes." ”

Early the next morning, Nangong Xuan entered the palace, Concubine Hua retreated left and right, and said straightforwardly: "This palace wants to seek justice for Xiwu." ”

Nangong Xuan's expression was grim, he was also responsible for Du Xiwu's death, if he hadn't looked down on Ruan Yanluo and got Du Xiwu out of the palace earlier, he wouldn't have died so aggrieved. It's just that more than 20 days have passed since this incident, and Concubine Hua has never asked, why did she suddenly talk about it at this time?

Concubine Hua saw his question, and said lightly: "Ruan Yanluo suffered retribution for killing Xiwu, and she was also sick, this palace thought that she would die of illness, but I didn't expect her to have a big life, which is more or less a providence." Bengong originally planned to forget it like this, but who knew that last night he dreamed of Xiwu, he was covered in blood, and told Bengong that he had no grudges and couldn't even be reincarnated. ”

With a long sigh, Concubine Hua said: "There are so many nephews in this palace, only Xiwu is the closest to this palace, and now that he is dead, if this palace doesn't do something, how can this child be worthy of being close to this palace for so many years?" ”

Nangong hung his head, his eyes flashed, he was not a fool, he could naturally hear that these words were not true. Although he was annoyed that Ruan Yanluo was arrogant and soft and hard, if he really asked him to kill her, he was a little reluctant from the bottom of his heart.

After all, that woman was the only one who made him feel special and could cause an instinctive reaction in his body.

Concubine Hua looked at Nangong Xuan's expression, and the coldness in her eyes was even worse, but it only flashed, and she changed the topic and asked, "Xian'er, how do Bengong and Jin'er treat you?" ”

"Niangniang and Fifth Brother are as kind to me as a mountain." Nangong Xuan said immediately. Concubine Hua's grace of life, Nangong Jin's brotherly treatment, he never forgot it for a moment.

"Then if someone wants to ruin the reputation and honor of your fifth brother's life, so that he can't even turn over, what will you do?"

A murderous aura flashed in Nangong Xuan's eyes, and he said fiercely: "I will never allow anyone to do this!" ”

When the words fell, he raised his head again, and asked with doubt: "Niangniang is talking about Ruan Yanluo?" I don't think she'll do that. ”

Nangong Xuan and Ruan Yanluo don't have much intersection, but they may be the people who know her the most among these people. That woman has a strong grievance between right and wrong, and she will not let go of anyone who offends her, but if she doesn't offend her, she will never do it for no reason. Nangong Jin didn't know about the handmaiden at all, on the contrary, although he left early, he was more or less a participant, even if Ruan Yanluo really wanted to find someone, it was him, not Nangong Jin.

Concubine Hua smiled lightly, and the expression on her face was extremely cold: "That girl just wants to do it, and she must have that ability." ”

"Who does the lady say?" Nangong Xuan was puzzled, everyone in Tianyao knew that the person who would ascend the throne in the future must be one of Nangong Ling and Nangong Jin, even if there was a bias in his heart, no one would dare to offend either of these two. Who is it that has the audacity to be unfavorable to the fifth brother?

Concubine Hua met Nangong Xuan's questioning gaze, lightly opened her lips, and slowly spit out two words: "Your Majesty." ”

Nangong was shocked, what did Concubine Hua mean by this? Can't wait to rebel? He always knew that if the emperor didn't pass on the throne to Nangong Jin, it would only be a matter of time before he rebelled, but it was too early to launch it now.

Concubine Hua ignored Nangong Xuan's searching gaze, and just asked, "Do you remember how your mother died?" ”
