Qiwen's two wrists were pinched in one hand by King Tan, and she couldn't pull it out, watching him put a flower on her head, and was thinking about stomping on his feet, but she heard him say: "Don't worry, I won't harm you." Not today, not in the future. I'll just help you. ”

Help me? Qiwen was stunned for a moment, what did he mean by doing the opposite, provoking the emperor to be jealous, so as to face up to his feelings for her?

After King Tan finished speaking, he let go of his hand, looked at her with a heavy smile, turned around and walked away.

Qiwen was full of confusion, how could he be so idle and have such kindness to her? But if it's not for that, then what?

There is no one on the pedestal of the main hall, and I don't know when the emperor left. Qiwen was restless and anxious, just like the emperor's arrogance and awkwardness, could she be so obediently jealous and treat her well? Even if King Tan really did this to help, I am afraid that it is more likely to help.

What is this called? She really wanted to beat up King Tan, pick up everything that could move, and beat him hard!

I don't know how the emperor will react, Qiwen was outside for a while, thinking about it again and again, but she still felt back to Longxi Pavilion, thinking that if she could meet Wang Zhi and them, she would have to inquire first.

As soon as you step into the threshold, you can see that something is wrong. At this time, there were only a few rays of afterglow left in the sky, and the wind lamps under the eaves of the inner and outer courtyards of Longxi Pavilion were lit, and the line of sight could be seen clearly through the hanging flower gate, and there was still a black hole in the main hall, and there was not a single star of light.

In the past, even if the master was not there, the house was still in charge of the lamp after the time of the lamp, and there was no reason for the black light to blind the fire. Which one is this going to sing?

"Auntie, grandma, alas." In the dark, Wang Zhi also came out of nowhere, grabbed Qiwen's sleeve, and pulled her to avoid the main door and aside.

He is more than ten years older than Qiwen's father, and he is a eunuch, so he doesn't have so many taboos. After La Qiwen came over, she glanced into the weeping flower door again, and then said in a low voice: "I heard Yuanhe talk about the afternoon." Girl, we rarely have the opportunity to chat these days, but I can see that you are a smart person, we don't treat you as an outsider at all, and some words don't have to be said to be transparent to each other, do you understand? ”

Qiwen nodded: "I have always understood Master's kindness, I am purely helpless about this matter this afternoon, the third prince sent someone to call me over, and it was Gonggong Qiao who was bad, and it was under the guise of Queen Taishang, I really have nothing to shirk." As for the scene in the garden, it was all forced by the third prince. ”

In a few words, he clarified the key points and stated his position, and indeed responded to this smart evaluation, Wang Zhi was very satisfied with what he heard, and nodded: "Before going to Ciqing Palace today, the master just issued an edict to let you be reinstated tomorrow, and he also severely punished Wang Xuanzhi, do you understand the meaning?" ”

"I ...... Got it. Qiwen was happy at first, and then she almost started to swing. The shape shì was even stricter than originally expected, and the emperor didn't want to take the initiative to let her reinstate, but he bumped into her tryst with the king of Tan, how chilling and angry did she have to be? No wonder the lights aren't even lit.

As he was talking, suddenly Qian Yuanhe trotted out of the weeping flower door, stepped forward and whispered: "Oh, aunt, you are really here, the master is ordering me to call you." ”

It was the first time that she took the initiative to send someone to call her, and Qiwen was worried about Lao Gao, and hurriedly asked: "Senior brother, tell me quickly, has the master said anything this time?" ”

Qian Yuanhe shook his head with a sad face: "How can you tell me if you have something to say?" You go quickly, let Ye Shao wait for a while, maybe the anger can be smoother. ”

Qiwen was full of frustration, there was nothing she could do about it, so let's brave the artillery fire. She quickly straightened her clothes and hair in a bun, and prepared to go in with a cold wind.

Wang Zhi tugged at her sleeve again, and explained concisely: "What is going on between you and the master, a few of us know, and you must know better than us in your heart; The most taboo person for the master is the third prince, you have a bottom in your heart; After all, the one sitting in it is the Ninety-Five, and how to control the proportions can only depend on yourself. ”

Although she met every day these days, she did not talk much with these eunuchs, far from the point of heart-to-heart. Wang Zhi's words were so far that she understood clearly, Qiwen was moved in her heart, and she bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for mentioning it." ”

After passing through the Hanging Flower Gate to the inner courtyard, Qian Yuanhe first reported in his head: "Master, Miss Qiwen is here." "Go to the door and open the curtain of ebony strips and nail lake satin for Qiwen, and when she is low in, he will lower the curtain. I was about to retreat, but I saw the master come forward and eavesdrop outside the curtain of the door in a grand manner.

Qian Yuanhe was stunned: In that case, I'll listen to it too.

Qiwen stepped into the dark room, and by the pale red light reflected in the sill window, she could barely distinguish the objects in the foreground, and roughly saw a swarthy human figure sitting on the front seat in front of her.

This hall is the widest room in the entire Longxi Pavilion, and it is no problem to receive twenty or thirty courtiers, but after the emperor disperses the court, he chooses to discuss matters with the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace, and occasionally brings one or two confidant ministers back to the Longxi Pavilion, and also goes to the east to talk, and rarely stays in this Ming Hall.

This is the first time Qiwen has seen him sitting in the front seat, and of course, it is the first time she has seen him sitting in a dark room with no lights.

After seeing the ceremony, he didn't make a sound, and Qiwen couldn't see his expression and movements when she peeked at it, so she asked tentatively: "Can the slave light a lamp for you?" ”

He still didn't say anything, probably just didn't object. Qiwen went to touch the flint and ignited the paper medium to light a glass palace lamp nearby.

In the darkness, the orange-red light was the first to shine on her face. The young face like a flower and jade, no powder, no hairpin rings, not even earrings, but still delicate and beautiful, elegant and beautiful, really a stunning beauty, no wonder Yuan Ying is also worried about it.

The emperor sat on the seat with his arms crossed lightly, staring at her closely, his face cold and resolute, more like a stone sculpture than usual.

Qiwen felt his gaze like a torch, and didn't dare to look at him directly, so after lighting the lamp, she stood under the hall with her eyes down, waiting for him to show her.

She should explain it clearly, just like she said to Wang Zhi just now, and explain the truth in a few words, presumably he can understand. It's just that facing the emperor is very different from facing the eunuch master, and the emperor has never confessed to her, and even said that she wanted to send her away when they met last time, should she acquiesce that the emperor is jealous, and take the initiative to persuade him: Don't be jealous, I have nothing to do with the third prince?

Secretly cheering herself up with the number of systems, Qiwen boldly spoke: "Master Mingjian, in fact, ......"

"Zhuo Jin once said that you love me, is it true?" The emperor suddenly interrupted her, his tone was light and light, and he did not show joy or anger, but he heard Qiwen shiver all over.

What kind of opening is this? She couldn't think of a countermeasure in her heart, so she could only answer: "What she said back to her master is true." ”

"Well, it's hard for you to have this heart, in that case, you can go to bed tonight."

With a shock in her heart, Qiwen couldn't care about the rule that she couldn't look directly at Tianyan, and looked straight at him with wide eyes. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold and hard armor, where could he find the slightest hint of affection?

He's tempting - since you say you love me, you want to prove that you didn't deliberately hook up with Yuan Ying in the afternoon, so sleep with me tonight.

There seemed to be a strange murmur in her ears, sharp and harsh, Qiwen's thinking was a little wooden, and her mind was not very normal. It seems that he should agree, the emperor wants to be a palace maid, what is the big deal? Besides, isn't this the ultimate goal of being here? There are systematic rewards for every step with him, and if this happens, there may be a good reward waiting for her.

If she should have agreed, she should have replied with a red face: "Every qiē depends on the master." That's her duty to be a subordinate, and it's the easiest way for her to prove her loyalty.

It's a pity she just can't tell.

Looking at him steadily, Qiwen couldn't say a word, as if she was still hoping that she had misheard it just now, and that he had lost her words for a while and immediately changed her words.

The emperor still calmly added: "After going to bed, I will enter your place tomorrow and give you a reward, so as to fulfill your heart." I won't wronged you......"

Dignity seems to be overshadowed by a word, and her heart is cold, Qiwen sneered in her heart, waiting, position, reward, what kind of person do you think of me? If you're angry, you can do this to me?

Sure enough, in your eyes, I am a shameless slut who tries his best to climb into bed, and what you deserve is that you use this shameless trick to tempt!

You have to refuse everything, and you have to refuse to die! The reason came as soon as she opened her mouth, she was surprised, and she was not even in the mood to say the polite words of "thank the master for rewarding the slave and maid for this dignity", so she only replied calmly: "Please ask the master to be merciful, so that the slave and maid can be filial piety first." ”

Hot filial piety for 100 days, this reason is very sufficient, but at this time, the emperor can't listen to the reason no matter how good it is, and he guessed in his heart that she would refuse.

There was a crunch and a teacup smashed at her feet.

He stood up, pointed at her and scolded her, "Do you remember Rexiao!" Why didn't I see you think of Rexiao when I went to hook up with three or four? Get out of here, get out of the arms of the third child, and don't let me see you! ”

Silence returned to the room.

His chest rose and fell violently, his nose was panting with hot and rough air, and he clearly felt that his left hand on the arm of the high chair was trembling slightly, and then looked at her who stood in front of him, but in an instant, he couldn't believe that the few bad words just now came from his own mouth.

It really broke out, as if it had released the beast in its chest out of the cage, and reason began to regain it.

How obvious are the traces of this deliberate act today, how can it really be as simple as a tryst with her? Not to mention, she was going to send her away three days ago, even if what she saw today was true, even if she really got up and left with Yuan Ying, what reason did she have to be angry, and what reason to blame her?

How could I be so out of shape and out of control? It's like a demonic possession, and it's like two people from the past.

I didn't realize it at this moment, it turned out that I cared so much about her in my heart, and once I realized that I was going to lose it, I was dizzy and dizzy.

But now that I've found out, what else can I do? If you say it, you can't take it back.

She frowned, not sad or angry, but her eyes were extremely gloomy, and her lips opened and closed as if she were intent on justifying, but she quickly tightened them. She didn't cry, she didn't make a sound, she knelt down and bowed to him—oblivious to the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground.

He took a step forward unconsciously, reached out to pull her, but she pulled back in time, withdrew her hand as if she was afraid of him, glanced at him in a hurry, and hurried out.

The splinters of porcelain that pierced her skirt fell, and there was a crisp sound of hitting the brick floor.

The silence in the room returned, as if she had gone out with her, leaving only an isolated realm, and he was left alone.

Qian Yuanhe and Wang Zhi crept in, Qian Yuanhe took a tray, stuffed his head to clean up the porcelain, Wang Zhiye took two steps up and said: "Master, when the appropriate girl Qiwen entered the door, she first told the slave maid that she was called by Qiao Anguo in the Ciqing Palace, and it was under the guise of being summoned by Queen Taishang, and she didn't know that the third prince was waiting for her there." When you saw it, she was forced by the third prince. ”

As if he hadn't heard, the emperor stood still.

Wang Zhi looked anxious, and took another step forward and said: "Master, if you think about Yin'er, don't be negligent for a while and become a lifelong grudge!" ”

Qian Yuanhe stopped picking up the porcelain piece and looked at the master worriedly. When he was fifteen years old, that experience was a taboo for the emperor, and no one dared to mention it in front of him for seven years. No matter how much he is used, he is just a eunuch and a retainer of the Son of Heaven, so he is not afraid that the master will turn his face and deny people in this anger?

The emperor's body shook slightly, and his face suddenly turned pale.

All the inferiority, sensitivity, and suspicion almost all started at that moment seven years ago - just when the little girl of Shaoling drowned in the well, she was salvaged and had tangled hair like aquatic plants, and her face was as white as lime, which made people see it, and it was hard to believe that it was the girl who was fresh and beautiful in the past.

The face in her memory seemed to have been replaced with hers, and her heart suddenly exploded.

It's really going to get to that point, how terrifying it is, which can be summed up in just four words of "lifelong hatred".

He couldn't stand any longer, and immediately rushed out.

Wang Zhi came out on his heels and ordered the rest of the chamberlains: "Don't follow anyone." ”

Qian Yuanhe came out and said with a worried face: "Master, you see ......"

"Don't worry, once this incident is over today, these two people should stop a little." Wang Zhi quickly calmed down, and showed a little bit of triumph, and whispered, "These two people...... Hmph, it's a natural pair. ”
