Suddenly, before she came, Wang Zhi had insisted that even if she intended to cooperate with Yuan Ying to leave the palace, she must not have really defected, but for another reason.

The emperor's heart was suddenly clear, since Wang Zhidu saw it, why did he need to be careful? I will be suspicious, or is it due to the stinky temper of inferiority? It's a big deal.

Qiwen couldn't help but snort, wanted to laugh but held back, then turned her eyes away, and said lightly: "At that time, I did think angrily, if you die, you will die, and if you die, I will never care about you anymore." But that's because I thought I was going to die! Afterwards, since he saw that he was not dead and came back to life, it was different, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to continue to plan for life. ”

She smiled bitterly, both self-deprecating and confident, "You know, I've always been sensible and aware of the overall situation. I won't do stupid things that will ruin the overall situation for the sake of petty petty. Since we have to live hard to live, how can we do anything that hurts our relatives and enemies? ”

She is always so sensible, no matter how much she is wronged, she will not be emotional, the emperor heard more and more guilty, and became more and more distressed, and reached over and took her into his arms: "I know, only I will do such a stupid thing, you won't." Don't worry, I won't do it again in the future. ”

Lian Zhen sure enough

After a pause, he forced his eyes towards her again, and saw that Xiuying shrank her neck again, and realized her mistake.

Lian Zhen wondered very much, if she was unwilling to cooperate on the dragon collapse that day, and intended to resist, it was because she had just woken up and was cowardly. But now this little girl is so resistant when she sees him coming close, and when she sees him letting go and leaving, she breathes a sigh of relief, and she is almost happy, what is the reason?

You must know that when he hasn't been in the harem for more than half a year, if this matter is spread on the heads of any of the other concubines just now, the other party's reaction must be: God, the emperor is interested in me, I am so honored! Then when he sees that he is leaving, he will be again: Woo, don't go, the emperor, the concubine will do her best to serve you.

But how could this girl react like this?

"You don't want me to touch you?" Lian Zhen didn't beat around the bush and asked bluntly.

"Where...... What's the matter? The emperor loves him, the concubines keep it in his heart, he is grateful to Dade, and he doesn't forget it......" Xiu Ying clumsily piled up all the welt words she could think of, and her face turned pale with fright. Ignoring the emperor's charm and hurting the emperor's self-esteem is probably a greater sin than escaping from the palace.

Lian Zhen saw that she was starting to speak dishonestly again, and sneered: "Okay, go back to the dormitory with me tonight, and let me see how grateful you are to Dade." ”

Xiuying was shocked: "The concubine is afraid...... This is not in line with the rules of the palace, right? "The emperor is a rascal who has played more thoroughly and more unscrupulously!

Lian Zhen sneered even more, and forced her in one step, almost sticking to her, pinching her small and delicate pointed chin: "Rules? At this point, you've come to talk to me about the rules. Do you think you're good at following the rules? ”

As a suspect in an attempted absconding attempt who had just been interrogated, Xiu Ying was speechless, feeling that the warm wind in his mouth blew on her face when he spoke, and smelled the clear manly breath on his body, she was full of panic and wanted to retreat and dodge, but as soon as she moved, she found that her back was on the door frame, and there was no way out, so she had to tremble and say: "If the emperor wants to ...... Concubine serving, that ...... It is the blessing of concubines. 一qiē...... But according to the emperor's orders. ”

But in his heart, he was secretly scolding: You are dead gay, you can find your attack with peace of mind, just go and toss me what to do! If you really take your sister to the dormitory, you dare to guarantee that you can do it? Are you really sure you can do it?!

The duplicity in her words can be heard by a fool, let alone in Lian Zhen's ears, he has always been accustomed to distinguishing between what others say is true or false.

Lian Zhen is really angry and funny, he hasn't touched a woman for more than 200 days, and the women in the harem see him all looking like a hungry wolf with green eyes, if they don't care about his identity, they will simply pounce on him and eat him. And he just became a little interested in one of them, but caught up with this one is a special case, in her eyes, he is almost no different from the robber leader who robbed the people's daughter, what did he say?

Suddenly, his heart moved, Lian Zhen glanced at the people, raised his right hand and put it on Xiuying's cheek, and said in a voice that was sure only the two of them could hear: "Tell me the truth, in your heart, there are others?" "The stalk of the imperial doctor Xiao Lu was forgotten by him just now.

"Nope!" Xiu Ying broke out in a cold sweat again, knowing that this was a big hat that must not be buttoned up.

Lian Zhen stared at her eyes and said, "If you admit that you have fallen in love with Xiao Lu, I will not punish you, but I just want you to tell the truth." ”

Xiao Lu? Xiu Ying listened to this very modern title, and was stunned for two seconds before she reacted, and hurriedly explained: "No, how could a concubine take a fancy to such a strange and evil taste imperial doctor?" ”

Lian Zhen naturally didn't understand what "bad taste" meant, but she could see that she was telling the truth. In this way, between Lu Xianping and her, no one has a personal relationship? Lian Zhen thought about it for a while, and realized that Lu Xianping came to beg him to take care of this little concubine that day, but he was too careful.

So Lian Zhen felt a little relieved, and at the same time became more curious: "Then why don't you want to?" ”

"Concubines don't have ......"

"Tell the truth." Lian Zhen sank her face again, and saw that this little girl couldn't give a good face, otherwise she would only hear her clumsy prevarication.

"Sue you, I have nothing else to do, but I have such a ability to tell the truth or falsehood of what others are saying. Look at those old foxes, maybe there is still a difference, look at you, that's a look at the accurate, so if you still want to live, don't want to be punished for several crimes, don't go around in circles with me again! ”

Xiu Ying frowned and looked at him, this emperor is a few years younger than her body in her previous life, at this moment, she doesn't feel naïve at all, her EQ and IQ seem to be not to be underestimated, think about it, how many times has an emperor seen the world, how many people have he interacted with, etc., how can he compare with this dead house with low emotional intelligence? There was really nowhere to hide in front of him, but ...... Can't she accept loveless sex. Can you tell the truth about this kind of thing in life?

- That's right, to tell you the truth!

Tianshu gave her instructions at the right time. Xiu Ying had no choice, so she had to think hard about the wording while saying stubbornly: "Please forgive me, the concubine has a foolish thought, and I always feel that it is ...... The love between men and women comes from the heart, if you want to be close, you should take the true love in your heart as the foundation, if there is no true love, you ...... Don't ......"

No matter how you say this, it seems like a great disrespect, and no matter how you hear it, it sounds like death. Say to the emperor face to face that because I don't love you, I don't want to be with you XX? A person who is an emperor regards himself as the Son of Heaven, and he was born to default that all women in the world should love him, how can he listen to such words?

Xiu Ying felt that she was going to be killed by this evil taste guard.

Feeling that the emperor's hand left her face, and her body took a step back, Xiu Ying's heart became more and more panicked, and she didn't dare to look up to see the emperor's face, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and continued: "The concubine should die. It's only because it's only been more than three days since I woke up this time, and my mind is still confused, so I have this confused mind that shouldn't be. Ask the emperor for forgiveness. ”

And Lian Zhen was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, this is indeed a foolish mind that shouldn't be there." You...... You can say that again! ”

Xiu Ying listened to this tone and did not look like an angry scolding, and looked up boldly, but saw the emperor looking at her with a pale face, this look was a little scary, but it was not like anger, it seemed to be more explained as ...... Painful, a painful pain that makes people involuntarily feel distressed when they see it.

Her heart trembled twice. Did he say the wrong thing that caused him to be so sad?

Lian Zhen didn't say anything more, only left a pale smile that was quite self-deprecating, and turned to leave. This time, it's really gone.

Ordinary emperors walk in the palace, and there are always sixteen people carrying the chariots and the canopy guard of honor like a shadow, but this emperor also likes to be special at this point, and he likes to stride and measure on foot everywhere. After Lian Zhen went out, he strode to the side. Tang Han saw that the emperor had something on his mind, and he didn't make a sound after going out, so he followed behind about ten steps away.

The night breeze is blowing, and the lotus leaves in the lotus pond outside the west wall of the Hibiscus Pavilion are stacked, and the dark fragrance floats. The willows and lotus flowers in the night have faded from the fresh colors of the day, and have become a whole ink painting, which is both quiet and slightly desolate.

Except for the footsteps of the master and servant, there was only the sound of the night breeze blowing through the lotus leaves.

Lian Zhen stopped at the edge of the pool, staring at the lotus leaves in the pool, and remained silent for a long time.

The girl said: "The love between men and women comes from the heart, if you want to be close, you should take the true love in your heart as the foundation." ”

At the beginning, didn't he have this obsession? Why don't you just want to get close to someone who has a true love for you? But in the end, what is the result?

14、

Lian Zhen raised her head and smiled bitterly, the girl said that this was a "foolish mind" and a "confused thought that shouldn't be there". Yes, I was born as the only prince, became an emperor, and still has such thoughts, isn't it ignorant and confused?

For many years, he has been hoping to find a person, a kind of people, with whom he can get along without any shy, and with whom he can form a tacit understanding that completely transcends the laws of kings and ministers, which is the most difficult wish for an emperor to achieve. But more than a year ago, he thought he had achieved it.

At that time, Lian Zhen and Queen Jiang Wanyu had been married for nearly four years, and they could be regarded as old husbands and wives, but because of the gradual maturity of his mind, he had deeper and deeper feelings for Jiang Wanyu, and gradually became a situation where he was a favorite and did not care about the rest of the concubines.

Jiang Wanyu's smile touched his heart at all times, making him feel that everything for this woman was worth it, everything should be paid, and all those who opposed his Wanyu were heinous villains, and they deserved to die without a place to be buried. Because of the hostility of the Queen Mother and others to him, Lian Zhen, who had never been interested in political affairs, even had the heart to strive for pro-government.

He was not born a person with great ambitions, and the truth of self-cultivation and governing the country and the world has never had a place in his heart, so to speak, he was born a faint king. This man who is a faint gentleman by nature once wanted to fight for the pro-government for the sake of the woman he loved not to be oppressed by the queen mother.

But in the end, what did he get in exchange for this sincerity?

Two hundred and eighty-two days ago, the battle of the harem was clear. Jiang Wanyu was defeated, and all the selfish methods were exposed.

Lian Zhen knew that this woman he had always thought was in love with him, and that he was worthy of his lifelong favor and no longer paid attention to the rest of the women, was actually the same as the rest of the harem women, just regarded him as a prop for power, he would fall in love with her, and he would control his will for her, all of which were calculated by her.

He once held on to the last glimmer of hope, expecting her to sue herself, these are the queen mother's faults, not her actions. And Jiang Wanyu understood that the general trend had gone, and the emperor's sympathy could not save herself, so she didn't bother to pretend anymore, admitted to him bluntly, and finally said to him: "The concubine is guilty, and she has failed the emperor's sincerity, so I implore the emperor to forget the concubine." ”

In vain, he naively thought that he had found the same kind, and in vain he also wanted to go against his personality to fight for pro-government for that person, only to realize in the end that it was all a mistake.

This blow is tantamount to the collapse of faith.

And after that harem change, he also saw the faces of other women around him competing for fame and fortune. These women around him have hidden so many wrists in places he can't see, and they have done so many schemes behind his back. In the huge palace, he was the only one, and he was still stupidly holding hope for his true feelings. There are all dramas around him, but he is the only audience, Lian Zhen is really cold, and feels that the seemingly beautiful women in the harem all look hideous and unsightly, so he doesn't want to touch them anymore.

This is the fundamental reason why he couldn't care about Xiu Ying in the past. And today, he was surprised to find that this girl looked completely different from those women. She dared to tell the truth in front of him, and even said the same obsession as him.

The night breeze blew from the lotus pond, turning up the lotus leaves layer by layer, brushing Lian Zhen's cheeks, and also blowing away his thoughts. He exhaled deeply.

Two hundred and eighty-two days, two hundred and eighty-two days have passed since that incident, and he has felt more and more that as an emperor, the pursuit of true love is an impossible dream to be realized, and he began to consider compromise, and be a complete faint monarch with peace of mind, not only ignoring the government and politics, but also indulging in spending time and drinking.

And when he wanted to give up, he actually heard another person say the same thought as him, reminding him that he is not the only one in this world, obsessed with this.

It's really a trick! Lian Zhen has complicated feelings, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or lonely. After all, he sometimes feels that giving up completely is actually a good relief.
