General Helian looked at his beloved son, and the look of shock and pain on his face made him unbearable.

"You don't have to be delusional now! The reason why Lin Wenyue kept silent about your marriage contract after that was that he wanted his daughter to climb a rich and noble family. Originally, I thought that his wife was disgusted with our martial arts family and wanted to marry her daughter to a scholar, but who would have thought that Lin Wenyue, who was high in the sky, would also rely on his daughter's nepotism to stabilize his power. ”

People's hearts are not ancient! Think about it, what a good friendship the two families were at the beginning. Lin Wenyue and he Helian were both the emperor's right-hand men in the court, but later they fell out for the sake of their children. Now that I think about it, the original friendship was clearly Lin Wenyue's use of him. He has a son who is the general of Jingyuan, so he no longer needs his veteran Helian to support the façade!

Only now do I understand that he had planned such a future for his daughter. It's right to think about it, in this Jinsheng Dynasty, apart from the emperor, who else has a higher status than him Lin Zuoxiang? On wealth, but royalty! ”

The expression on Helian Akiba's face twisted painfully, half loud, and finally couldn't help but interrupt his father's complaints:

"Don't say it, Daddy!"

The old general Helian really shut up, he looked at his son and sighed:

"Hey, Qiu'er, you don't have to be like this! Where is there no grass at the end of the world? Why does a husband have no wife? Although Cardamom is a good girl, she is married and pregnant with the emperor's child. I know that you have a good relationship with her, but her identity is not as good as before, and now she is a monarch and a minister, and when we meet in the future, you must be careful! ”

"Don't worry, Daddy, I will!"

What if he is unwilling, Imperial Concubine, it is a peak that he will never be able to cross.

He wandered back and forth in the backyard of the General's Mansion, trying to dispel the lingering dark clouds in his heart.

The long-abandoned General's Mansion was being renovated everywhere, and the noise of workers coming and going was everywhere, but only this quiet place overgrown with wild grass could not calm his heart.

This paradoxical grass and trees always reminded him of the scene when he left. In a trance, it seemed that the cardamom of the year had returned to his eyes, and he sweetly called him Brother Akiba......

"Brother! It's me! What happened to you? ”

Helian Qiuye was startled, and suddenly came back to his senses, only to see that it was his sister Helian Xiaoju who came to him, looking at him with a puzzled expression, while trying to break free from the hand he was holding hard.

As if he had been scalded by boiling water, Helian Autumn Leaf hurriedly let go of his hand and jumped away

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ju asked strangely, not knowing what was wrong with her brother, with a confused expression that she had never seen before.

"It's okay, I'm okay!!"

It's no wonder that it's okay! Ginkgo thought to herself. Since returning to the capital, everyone has become strange.

This capital is really not fun at all, and the atmosphere is suffocating.

*_*_*_*_*

It seems that Li Haotian has made up his mind to snub Lin Guifei, who is pregnant and waiting to give birth. Not only did he "extinct" Kun'an Palace from then on, but even in places like the Imperial Garden, where he saw cardamom from afar, he deliberately avoided it.

He wandered in the harem more than ever, and his footprints have traveled to almost every palace. Although no one understood why the emperor suddenly seemed to change his sex, they were all happy to end up. The emperor is diligent, and the open and secret battles in the palace are becoming more and more vigorous, and every palace is secretly working hard, trying to take the opportunity to keep the emperor's heart. But it was the queen and the king, as if she had seen through something in this unusualness, and was unmoved.

Since the day when the two of them were boating on the lotus pond on that full moon night, Li Haotian and Cardamom have only met a few times on some occasions, such as the queen mother's palace, and even if they did, they only said a few greetings to each other, and they didn't even have a good conversation.

Although the Queen Mother felt a little strange: why did the emperor suddenly come so diligently, but the old people are lonely, as long as someone often comes to see her to accompany her, she is too lazy to think about the reason. The emperor came diligently, and naturally the concubines came more, and the Empress Dowager suddenly became lively.

On that occasion, Li Haotian returned to his usual inscrutable, gentle and indifferent. And Cardamom has also returned to Lin Zitang's identity as a lady, her gestures are in the middle of the rules, and her attitude towards people is also polite and distant.

She couldn't understand the complicated content in Li Haotian's eyes when he looked at her, and she didn't understand why he had made up his mind to snub her, but he always forced her to look at him every time he met "accidentally".

He never used words, or a little action, but he was always able to use his gaze to create an atmosphere and create pressure, and every time he succeeded in forcing her to look at him, so that she could not ignore him in the slightest - in fact, as long as he had a heart, his powerful natural aura made it impossible to ignore him, even if it was intentional.

For example, just like now, in the outer hall of the Queen Mother's Palace, he left the few concubines and palace maids who were saluting her and ignored them, and turned his eyes straight to her sitting on the side, allowing the women to bend their knees like that, staggering and half-kneeling and half-squatting in the center of the main hall. Without the emperor's permission, no one dared to stand up.

She turned her gaze away, deliberately not looking at him, nor at the crumbling women.

She knew how testing that kind of half-squatting court etiquette was. Although the posture is elegant, if you just squat and get up, that's it. But if you want to maintain this posture for a long time, it is definitely a torment, and it is a ruthless test of human endurance and physical strength. On the contrary, it is better to simply kneel directly.

Is it possible that as an emperor, you don't have to be considerate of others? And aren't the women who are suffering also his family?!

Thinking of the word family, her heart suddenly twitched, and she seemed to be deeply stung by these two words. Her gaze swept over her surroundings very quickly, slowly resting on a pot of flowers in the corner of the temple, and she became distracted.

Time passed minute by minute, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, everyone's eyes were cast on Li Haotian, and then his gaze fell on Cardamom's body, Cardamom could almost clearly feel the scorching heat and resentment in those eyes.

The queen mother in the inner room also seemed to notice the abnormal atmosphere outside the house, so she asked the queen who accompanied her to come out to see what was going on outside.

As soon as the queen stepped out of the door leading to the outer hall, she saw the scene in front of her, she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she held back, only sighed softly, and turned back again.
