Shen Shuzhao was caught off guard by Wei Yang and pushed against the wall, she had no choice but to struggle, and her shoulder was tightly choked by the opponent's weak but powerful slender hand, and she immediately felt a burst of pain.

Wei Yang's face was unusually calm, and a layer of dark shadows like a veil fell from the eaves of the wall to obscure his eyes, and his refreshed and delicate face looked more frosty and snowy than usual, as if he had returned to the peerless coldness that she was as unapproachable when they first met, which made Shen Shuzhao's eyes suddenly reveal complex and difficult feelings.

Although Wei Yang didn't say anything, the faint and cold fragrance on her body that lingered and didn't go away, and the posture of trapping herself firmly, made Shen Shuzhao feel as if she was trapped in the deep forest shrouded by a thousand dangerous mountains, unable to escape lightly.

The main hall gate is not far ahead.

At your fingertips.

But the journey became even more distant.

Time is getting slow.

From the depths of her heart, a voice told Shen Shuzhao that she was so convinced of the person in front of her.

Just a little more explanation, and one answer will suffice.

She pursed her lips, waiting for Wei Yang's answer. The cold wind on the side, the clothes danced, the wet and cold breath penetrated into the bone marrow and cooled the heart, in the small corner of this uninhabited palace, all the silence of the Buddha turned into nothing with the wind, and there was no response in the end. "Wei Yang?" She felt a sudden sense of despair in her heart.

After a long period of silence, Wei Yang opened his thin lips lightly and said slowly: "Don't go." ”

That slightly depressed tone quickly disappeared into the wind.

"Okay." Shen Shuzhao responded, "But you have to sue me...... Why? ”

"Do you believe me?"

Wei Yang asked.

Shen Shuzhao nodded silently.

"I can't let you go." Wei Yang repeated.

So Shen Shuzhao felt panicked in his heart for a moment, and for a moment, impossible thoughts flashed through his mind. She silently looked over Wei Yang's shoulder to the Yongshou Hall behind her, and directly above it there were clouds all over the sky, so stuffy that people couldn't breathe, and everyone in the palace was unaware of what was about to happen, and her heart seemed to miss a beat when she thought of this,

"Wei Yang, is it difficult for you to ......"

Are you on the opposite side of the Shen family?

Shen Shuzhao didn't say the last words, but just looked at her with complicated pleading eyes.

Please.

Sue me for the truth.

Wei Yang Moyu's pupils seemed to reflect the endless abyss, but the silence would never lead to results, and in the end, he could only slowly lower his voice, "Shuzhao, what a son of heaven wants to do, how can we, as subjects, interfere at will?" ”

"It turns out that this qiē...... You know it from the beginning. Shen Shuzhao said in a daze.

"I do."

"Why?" She almost blurted out the question in her heart, but consciously closed her mouth. Because she simply wasn't qualified to ask. Wei Yang is the emperor's closest eldest princess, although she was once sent to fight on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang as the queen mother's henchman, but if she didn't win the emperor's trust, how could the matter of leading troops on the battlefield fall on the woman so lightly? In this palace that is already changing rapidly, everything cannot be absolutely defined.

Wei Yang didn't take her words, just glanced in the direction of the Banzai Hall in the distance.

The dark clouds on the horizon surged, there was a heavy atmosphere that seemed to override the people buried under the coffin, and the light rain began to sprinkle one after another, Shen Shuzhao suddenly felt that her body was getting colder and colder, Wei Yang's soft expression was so calm, with a hint of determination, and then her affectionate gaze fell back on Shen Shuzhao's body, "We have been waiting for this day for a long time." ”

It's been a long time......

Shen Shuzhao fell into complete confusion, she trembled slightly, "Wei Yang, do you know the consequences of doing this?" If the Queen Mother learns the truth, you are caught between the emperor and her, what kind of dilemma will you have? I...... And how should I face you? ”

Wei Yang suddenly chuckled, the mandala flowers on the snow-white cloak rose with the wind, and a gentle voice came from the cold wind, "Shuzhao, I said it, in this palace, it's enough for you to just believe me." ”

As soon as the words fell, she gently grabbed Shen Shuzhao with one hand, did not come back to her senses, her feet were already in the air, and the two flew up to the eaves of the palace in the air, Shen Shuzhao was so nervous that she hugged her firmly, Wei Yang became no longer talkative, along the way there were white figures on the eaves stepping in the drizzle without a trace, like an immortal, leaving no traces, and in a blink of an eye, she took Shen Shuzhao to a secluded corner of the empty cicada hall.

On the door, the red lock was removed, and the inner room was dim.

Wei Yang calmly placed her inside.

Then he pulled away, and the red lock was horizontal.

Shen Shuzhao was trapped inside.

Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace, she could only hold on to the wooden edge of the door, looking at the figure standing outside the door with a faint sadness, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Wei Yang." It wasn't until the end that Shen Shuzhao choked up and called his name.

Wei Yang replied to her peacefully, "Shuzhao, you stay in the house first. I'll be back when I'm done with that side. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the Banzai Temple."

Shen Shuzhao slammed a blow in her heart, but Wei Yang just looked at her calmly, "I think, Concubine Yuan should be almost here at this time." ”

"Wait," Shen Shuzhao asked uneasily, "Since the emperor intends to suppress these two families at the same time, on the one hand, there is the deep-rooted power of the Queen Mother, and on the other hand, General Sima and the Prime Minister's family, with his current strength, this is clearly an egg hitting a stone......

"Shuzhao, I'm sorry." Wei Yang said.

"......" Shen Shuzhao became more and more silent after hearing this, like a basin of cold water pouring through, she seemed to vaguely know what Wei Yang was going to say.

I heard the person on the other side continue: "All your previous qiē may be in vain. ”

Shen Shuzhao's fingers slowly slipped off the edge of the door.

Good.

Originally......

She still failed.

It's just that the person who made her fail, she couldn't have imagined that it would be Wei Yang.

Wei Yang leaned lightly against the door, raised his eyes and stared at the sky, what fell on her thin side face was a touch of imperceptible loneliness, no matter what, Wei Yang couldn't face Shen Shuzhao's clear eyes and gradually lost look, the once affectionate gaze no longer existed, leaving only endless confusion, and waiting for himself to turn around and turn back, Wei Yang couldn't bear to face that kind of look, because he had no way to tell her - what she guessed was false.

After a while, a faint murmur came from behind Wei Yang.

"Wei Yang, you and the emperor are so disgusted with the Shen family, so ...... Do you also reject me? ”

This sentence made Wei Yang answer her immediately, and his tone was as firm as a rock, "No." Never. ”

At that moment, Shen Shuzhao's tears welled up.

Fortunately......

Otherwise, she didn't know what else she could believe.

Outside the door, Wei Yang continued to turn his back to her and said, "Shuzhao, everything I did was for you. You have to trust me, I won't hurt you. ”

After Shen Shuzhao heard this, she slowly lowered her body, and then sat by the door and pondered, unable to say anything at this time.

A door, separating two people.

One is the Shen family, and the other is the Heavenly family.

Between them, it seems that a heavy shackle has been added.

Wei Yang walked into the distance, and Shen Shuzhao stayed where she was, and could only watch her go away.

On the side that Shen Shuzhao was worried about, Concubine Yuan's team came to the main gate of the Long Live Hall step by step.

This is the emperor's private banquet.

After getting off the sedan chair, the eldest sister Shen Zhuangzhao's crowning beauty appeared in everyone's eyes, and this was the first time that the famous concubine Niangniang in the capital appeared here. The palace people in the palace were amazed by her grace and refined appearance, and perhaps no one could compare to her except for the eldest princess of the dynasty. There is suddenly such a master in this harem, I really don't know what the other concubines feel like.

Shen Zhuangzhao walked into the hall with the palace maid behind him, and then, other cars also arrived at the door in twos and threes.

This new Yuan Concubine Niangniang's eyes swept over everyone as before, and her mediocre posture was not as good as herself, and she was used to this qiē.

As one of the four concubines, all the concubines who saw Shen Zhuangzhao naturally came forward to greet her, and the palace concubines who surrounded her took turns to flatter her hypocritically.

In the main hall, the palace people watched silently, in fact, they could feel the clear meaning of the party just from the position of the concubine, such as the concubines who followed the queen mother were only with Shen Zhuangzhao; Concubine Xi's forces are all gathered together, and their lively Cheng dù is on par with Shen Zhuangzhao; The Queen's men retreated to the second place, standing in the corner and watching them coldly.

A young concubine who looked like pink makeup glanced at them in the corner, turned her head and said to Shen Zhuangzhao: "Recently, the queen mother's mother's family was murdered, and it was difficult for those little concubines to be unlucky, and they didn't even dare to stand in front of the palace to go to the banquet. ”

"Where do they have the face?" Another little concubine covered her feather fan and said with a smile, "Even if there are concubines and concubines, without the protection of the queen, they are just small people who are not even in the position of some beauties." ”

After that, the concubines around Shen Zhuangzhao all laughed, this was just because of the Xiao family's power in the old days, and some noble concubines from wealthy families were unwilling to be stepping stones for her in the harem, so they naturally chose to take refuge in the queen mother, so there was such a situation.

Anyone present was a concubine above the rank of concubine and from a descendant lineage, and of course they had no scruples to ridicule people of uneven status in the queen's power.

After chatting for a while, one of them spoke up: "The concubine looks at the palace except for Concubine Xi, who is raising a fetus, the queen who is sick and unwell, and Concubine Mei in the future, people have almost arrived, I don't know when the emperor will come." ”

"I heard that the emperor is serving the queen mother in Changle Palace, maybe the emperor will bring the queen mother over." Someone replied.

Shen Zhuangzhao heard that the Queen Mother was going to come for a while, without the Queen Mother and Concubine Xi, and the Queen Mother was present, why would she have no chance to shine.

At this time, a eunuch shouted loudly outside the hall - "Concubine Xi Niangniang has arrived!" ”

Her joy turned into a stasis in an instant.

Everyone stopped talking and focused their eyes on the entrance of the palace, this Concubine Xi has become inseparable since she became pregnant, and she was favored by the emperor to raise the fetus in Yikun Palace with peace of mind, so that other people who had other thoughts had nothing to do. Today is a big occasion with many people, why did Concubine Xi come over casually?

"Sisters, long time no see."

A silver bell-like female voice sounded along with the sound of a hosta when she walked, and then Concubine Xi walked over calmly and gracefully under the eyes of everyone with the support of the two palace maids. She was dressed in a super purple dress, and the light yellow pattern of the dragon and phoenix was rusted on her lower abdomen, with a little arrogance, but what did it matter? Now that the queen has escaped the world and handed over the power of the assistant six palaces, the queen has become a void in the eyes of Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi's face was full of the graceful demeanor of the lord, staring at everyone, and the concubine Shen Zhuangzhao at this time was just a new concubine in her eyes. I saw that she gently supported Xue Liang's hairpin with her bare hands, and made a cold and arrogant light touch.

She walked in lotus steps, like flowers growing step by step.

Everyone held their breath, Concubine Xi walked in front of Shen Zhuangzhao, and Shen Zhuangzhao suddenly felt vigilant.

Concubine Xi gave her an intriguing scornful smile and walked away.

As soon as she left, Shen Zhuangzhao immediately remembered the slippery tire that the Queen Mother and Shen Shuzhao had reminded her, and when she saw Concubine Xi's appearance again, she felt even more suspenseful. Shen Zhuangzhao raised his hand to the side of his temple, and the concubines asked her what's wrong without knowing what's wrong, she made a slight migraine look, "Xu was cold because of the rain when he came." ”

"Niangniang, let's sit down and rest, since the emperor hasn't come over yet, it's better to use some hot tea first." The good concubine said thoughtfully.

Shen Zhuangzhao hummed, and then sat down, "This palace is unwell, so I won't move around." ”

The concubine also sat down with her and said softly: "Niangniang, the concubine stays here to accompany you." ”

In this urgency, Shen Zhuangzhao stretched out his hand and held the concubine tightly, and the touch from the palm of his hand made the concubine stunned, and then heard Shen Zhuangzhao say to her with some anxiety: "Sister, you accompany the palace." ”

The good concubine looked at Shen Zhuangzhao with beautiful eyes like hibiscus out of the water, although she didn't know why she was afraid, but she still held Shen Zhuangzhao with both hands, and let her slowly calm down her heartbeat, "The wind and cold are easy to bear, don't worry, the concubine will always stay here with you." ”

At the banquet at this moment, all the qiē was still as usual.
