The faint fragrance of magnolia in the courtyard came to his nose, and when Qi Ming walked in, there was no one on duty outside the Baolin Courtyard.

He frowned slightly, Concubine Shu had already guessed that she would come in person.

Walking to the front of the main hall, Qi Ming stood still and did not immediately take a step.

"The person the emperor is thinking about in his heart is really Queen Xu, but sometimes what people are most afraid of is not losing but losing and regaining, the emperor's current mood is probably like this." Concubine Shu had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and she had already seen Qi Ming's every move.

The two of them stood outside the hall and looked at each other, Qi Ming couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen this woman, but as he remembered, she was the only calm concubine in this palace. Always has such a faint face, there is no panic about anything, and there is never joy, anger and sorrow on the face.

Concubine Shu let her look up and down, although her eyes were still calm, but her state of mind was no longer the original, all because she saw this cold-hearted emperor and had an emotional day.

It is said that everyone has weaknesses, but this young emperor's weaknesses are too difficult to find.

Concubine Shu finally showed her first smile in front of Qi Ming in many years: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the people in Baolin Academy have all been sent out by me, and no one is here now." Besides, with your close servant Tang Zhong here, no matter what you talk about today, you will be safe. ”

Qi Ming finally said up: "What do you want to hear from me?" ”

Concubine Shu said: "The emperor is really not an ordinary person, he can still be so calm when he is here, obviously he was still thinking about the deceased Queen Xu in Wen'an Zhai a moment ago, but when he saw a painting that looked like Queen Xu, he didn't wait for a moment to ask the concubine." Don't you want to know now? ”

If it had been a year ago, Qi Ming would have turned around and left without hesitation, and would never stay here to listen to more nonsense.

Concubine Shu also calculated this before she dared to say these words, and it was rare for her to say more so happily.

"What the hell does Concubine Shu want to say, I rarely have the leisure to come over today, and you plan to waste it like this? You also know what day it is, and I'm really not in the mood to fight with you. Saying that, Qi Ming made a gesture to leave.

"The emperor is really always strong, even so, he is not willing to be a little soft, but who told the concubines to ask the emperor for something." Concubine Shu slowly took a few steps closer and said in a low voice.

Looking up, you can see the moonlight, and the hexagonal palace lamps with carved wood and veil are also hung all over the Baolin Courtyard, and the eyebrows and eyes of the concubine smiling under the moonlight light are very clear.

Qi Ming squinted slightly, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Everyone in this palace thinks that your concubine is indeed not fighting, not grabbing, and has no desires, but it turns out that it is nothing more than that, why, the days of being fresh and indifferent have been uncomfortable for so many years?" ”

Concubine Shu's face changed slightly, but she instantly changed back to the original and said: "No matter what you think, in your eyes, there is probably no good woman except for Queen Xu, and there is a little concubine who is different from them, and the concubine really didn't think about competing for favor." Counting those who compete for favor, only Concubine Xian is still alive now, but who envy Concubine Xian's experience today. ”

Qi Ming was stabbed by her sentence "still alive", and forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and said again: "Say, your purpose today." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you miss the queen, and the concubine also feels a pity, after all, she is the only one in this palace who can make the concubine look at it. When the concubine heard that you were rebuilding the palace these days, and keeping everything the queen liked, the concubine guessed that either you were unwilling to accept the fact that the queen was gone, or you thought that the queen was not dead. ”

Concubine Shu said lightly, as if these words were commonplace on weekdays, and they couldn't cause any waves.

Qi Ming didn't speak, and Concubine Shu continued: "The concubine doesn't know what Buddhism and Taoism are, but I have indeed heard the theory of reincarnation, Queen Xu has not done anything that hurts heaven and reason during her lifetime, but she has done a lot of good deeds, even if such a person has reached the end of his life in this life, he will soon turn in the next life." ”

Even if he didn't admit it and was silent, Qi Ming was still told that he was on his mind, and he was indeed waiting for her to come back.

Qi Ming didn't waste any more time, and continued: "Concubine Shu means that this painting is indeed made by the queen?" Does that mean that in just one year, the queen already has another person's identity? ”

Today's concubine is very confident, she nodded and said: "The concubine thinks so, in the past, the palace also allowed monks to enter the palace to preach Buddha, the concubine was fortunate to hear that Master Wu Kun said, there are many kinds of reincarnation in the world, one of which is the fastest one, today is the queen's birthday, the concubine will not be broken, I believe the emperor has already known." ”

At this time, Concubine Shu was just making a bold bet, and some things were not clear, what the truth was, how could ordinary mortals know about it. She found someone to investigate this third lady of the Fu family, and found that there were more than a little strange things about her, and this alone allowed her to take advantage of it.

I don't know if it's because of today's day, or if someone said Qi Ming's heart, Concubine Shu's words not only did not make him suspicious, but he thought about it seriously.

Concubine Shu waited quietly.

After a long time, Qi Ming said, "What do you want?" ”

Concubine Shu turned her back to Qi Ming and looked at the magnolia full of trees in the courtyard and said: "The concubine wants the emperor to let the Xue family go and cancel the agreement between the Xue family and the royal family, if so, can the emperor return the concubine's freedom?" However, the concubine is already like this, so it is not extravagant. ”

Qi Ming suddenly sneered: "But just a painting, you want me to hold your Xue family in the palm of your hand, can it hurt?" ”

"This is not just a painting, isn't this what the emperor has been desperately looking for this year? Although the concubine hid in the dormitory and didn't go out, there are a lot of things that should be known, Master Wu Kun disappeared suddenly, you must have sent someone to investigate it in private, who else can Master Wu Kun want to hide from besides you. But she hid from this thing, and there was something strange. ”

On weekdays, he was silent, but he was also quietly observing everything, Qi Ming raised his eyelids lightly, and he didn't care much or was surprised when he faced Concubine Shu's head.

Half an hour passed, and the two were still at a stalemate.

Qi Ming finally said: "If the Zhongding Bofu continues like this, there is no ambition, and I will give you a piece of freedom." I can agree to this marriage of the prince of Zhongding, and then I can marry myself. As for the Xue family's desire to go back to the past, it would be a little embarrassing. ”

Concubine Shu said: "The Xue family is also a courtier, so they should not do anything out of order." I just ask the emperor not to monitor the grass and trees in the Zhongding Bo Mansion, and to return the Xue family to a quiet place. My grandfather has long since been disarmed and returned to the field, and for the emperor, the Xue family is no longer what it used to be. ”

After saying this, Concubine Shu said again: "The emperor probably doesn't care, I had a guest here a few days ago, and this picture was obtained from her." As for whose hand it is, you will know at a glance. ”
