In the Guanju Palace, Chu Xiangwan picked up the gauze scarf that was treasured by the emperor, put it in the incense burner, and burned it all in a fire.

When Qian'er came in and wanted to stop it, it was too late, she hurriedly said, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

"It's not the same anymore, what are you doing with it?" Chu Xiangwan was full of self-harm when he said this.

"Miss, why are you doing this? If King Rui knew about it, he would also be in pain. ”

"Qian'er, don't tell him. I don't want him to be as sad as I am, besides, he has just come out of the prison, and if he conflicts with the emperor again, there will be a big mess. Chu Xiangwan could imagine Huangfu Jingyao's anger when he found out.

"Miss, since this is already the case, why don't you and the emperor-" Qian'er really couldn't bear it.

"Say no more, I don't want to hear it. I'm going to bathe, go down. ”

Sitting in the bathtub behind the screen, Chu Xiangwan put her head into the hot water, holding her breath, as time passed, breathing became more and more difficult, and it seemed to be back to the original appearance of falling off the cliff and drowning, someone on the water was shouting her name, but what she was thinking about was whether it would be like this, just leave this world quietly.

There was a pair of big hands, which fished Chu Xiangwan out of the water, and carried her to the bed, at this time she had not yet woken up, someone kissed her lips, and was giving her a breath, she opened her eyes and saw a face similar to Huangfu Jingyao, and then saw it clearly, but it was Huangfu Jingwen. For a moment, back to last night, she desperately pounded the man in front of her, pushed him away, and screamed.

"Xiang Wan, what's wrong with you? Calm down, I was not good last night, don't be like this, don't get excited! Huangfu Jingwen thought that after last night, Chu Xiangwan had completely belonged to him, but he didn't expect that what he did last night would hurt Chu Xiangwan so deeply.

After a moment, Chu Xiangwan regained consciousness, she got up and knelt down and said, "The concubine has lost her honor, please ask the emperor to condemn her." ”

"Get up, you're not feeling well, lie down." Huangfu Jingwen stepped forward and wanted to help Chu Xiangwan, but Chu Xiangwan gently let go, last night's events are still vivid, she doesn't want to accept Huangfu Jingwen's touch now, and Huangfu Jingwen's face was embarrassed for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with coming to Guan Ju Palace, if it's okay, the concubine wants to rest for a while." Everyone who understands can hear that Chu Xiangwan is giving an order to evict guests.

"There's nothing to do with you here, so let's all go down." Huangfu Jingwen coughed to hide his embarrassment.

After everyone withdrew, Huangfu Jingwen asked, "Xiang Wan, do you know how dangerous it was just now?" If it weren't for Qian'er who didn't come out to see you for so long, you would have drowned in a barrel. Is this how I hate you, that you're going to end your life in this way? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines didn't-"

"And nothing? Did you not kill yourself or did you not hate me? But to the evening, you have to understand that we are husband and wife, Huangfu Jingyao is an outsider, and I should have gotten you a long time ago. If you've been so depressed, I'll really suspect that you're still thinking about Huangfu Jingyao in your heart. ”

"Your Majesty, couldn't you prove the innocence of your concubines last night? Then the emperor shouldn't have saved his concubines just now, it's not a good way to die Mingzhi, or the emperor will punish the nine clans of the concubines again, is this enough? This is the first time that Chu Xiangwan has spoken loudly to Huangfu Jingwen, if you blindly compromise and seek perfection, you can't get peace, then it is better to be strong and stubborn, and put it to death and live later.

This kind of Chu Xiangwan has never been seen by Huangfu Jingwen, in front of him, Chu Xiangwan has always been gentle and gentle, and now she is aggressive, which makes Huangfu Jingwen feel guilty again, maybe she really pushed her too hard, so that she spoke and acted differently today. Maybe the matter between her and Huangfu Jingyao is really just a memory, maybe it's just Huangfu Jingyao's unilateral entanglement, after all, she is still married to him, which can already explain everything.

The atmosphere froze instantly, in fact, these two people are just sad people. Those who love each other can't be together, those who don't love are entangled and unwilling to let go, and two people with their own thoughts are tied together, and it is everyone who suffers in the end.

"You, get some rest." When Huangfu Jingwen left, Chu Xiangwan had his back to him, he sighed and wanted to pat Chu Xiangwan on the shoulder, but in the end his hand still didn't fall, he believed that time would make Chu Xiangwan forget the past.

At noon, there was a will spread throughout the Six Palaces, and Chu Xiangwan was promoted to imperial concubine. When the people in the palace heard the news, they all felt puzzled So, not long after Chu Xiangwan was promoted to a concubine, why did he become an imperial concubine again, what did the emperor think, how could he favor a woman to such an extent. Only Chu Xiangwan sat in his palace reading a book, and the eunuch who came to announce the decree saw that she didn't move, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he left after announcing the decree.

When the Queen Mother heard the news in Cihe Palace, she immediately smashed the teacup in her hand. "Bastard, what a bastard, is the emperor crazy, why did he suddenly give that woman the position of imperial concubine? Mama Li, you go, let someone inform Bian Yi to come to Cihe Palace, and the mourning family has something to ask him. ”

In the evening, Bian Yi finally appeared in Cihe Palace.

"Weichen greets the Queen Mother." Bian Yi knelt down and said.

"How is the task given to you by the emperor?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, I didn't find anything wrong." Bian Yi had already killed the person who had investigated this matter with him before, and he didn't dare to disobey Huangfu Jingwen's explanation.

"Bian Yi, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, Weichen doesn't dare to hide it."

"Then why didn't you come to the mourning family to report when you came back, and didn't show up until the mourning family looked for you?"

"Weichen is afraid that if he walks around the palace too often, he will be discovered."

"Okay, the mourning family will believe your words, you can go back first."

"Queen Mother, do you really believe Bian Yi's words?" Mama Li beside her asked.

"Hmph, it's never that simple. The emperor's promotion to Chu Xiangwan's position today is by no means for no reason, and it is estimated that most of it is related to this matter. The mourning family wants to see if this matter is true or false. You go to Fang Tinglou and tell him to secretly go and find out about Chu Xiangwan and Huangfu Jingyao. ”

"What about Bian Yi?"

"The mourning family still wants to keep him to help the mourning family clear some obstacles from the previous dynasty, and leave him alone for the time being."

"Yes." Mama Li went down.

"Sister, if you have a sister and I for a day, I won't let your daughter be so proud." The Queen Mother looked at the sky and swore fiercely.

After Huangfu Jingyao returned home, he was looking for something in the cabinets, Hongxia didn't know why, so he asked, "Lord Wang, what are you looking for?" ”

"Where did the scarf go on the inside of my bed?" Huangfu Jingyao went to the Evil Villa after he came out of the prison yesterday, Ning Yanchen has been using his skills to restore his strength, and this morning he went directly to the court from the Evil Villa, so he didn't know that Bian Yi sneaked into the palace and stole the scarf.

"I don't know what kind of scarf it is?"

"Go down."

"Yes."

This scarf is the only thought that Chu Xiangwan left to Huangfu Jingyao, or the only thing that Huangfu Jingyao has that belongs to Chu Xiangwan, he has always put it under the pillow, it seems that it is too childlike, he also laughed at himself, Huangfu Jingyao, who has always been cold and ruthless, would collect his daughter's things so deeply. It can only be said that once a man has a beloved, then, his heart is also bound. However, who took this scarf away, he intuitively felt that it should be in the hands of Huangfu Jingwen, because, since he came out of the prison yesterday, someone has followed him all the way, although he was thrown off, but it shows that Huangfu Jingwen has doubts about the operation behind this incident, including Ning Yanchen and Innocent Villa, which is also the "mastermind behind the scenes" that Huangfu Jingwen wants to find out.

In the evening, Hong Xia reported outside the study: "Lord Wang." ”

"Come in."

After Hongxia came in, he stood for a long time without saying a word.

"What to say directly."

"Yes, there is news from the palace that Concubine Yan has been promoted to imperial concubine."

Huangfu Jingyao's eyebrows jumped, and he asked, "Oh? Why is that? ”

"The specific reason is not clear, I only heard that there was a lot of movement in the Guanju Palace last night, and the emperor and Concubine Yan had a big dispute, who knew that the emperor stayed in the Guanju Palace again, and this morning he went directly from the Guanju Palace to the court. After the court, he went to the Guanju Palace, and later the imperial doctor was invited again, and as soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, he sent a decree to Feng Yan Guifei as the imperial concubine. "Hongxia didn't dare to hide anything, and told the truth.

"This king is now a sensitive period, it is not appropriate to show up in the palace, you go to the palace tonight and go to Guanju Palace to find out the truth." Huangfu commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

As soon as Hongxia entered the palace, he went straight to Guanju Palace. But seeing that there were twice as many guards guarding the gate of Guan Ju Palace than usual, she entered through the corner gate behind the palace. Just saw Qian'er passing by the small garden in the palace, she stepped forward and grabbed Qian'er's hand and dragged her to the corner.

"Someone, uh-"

"It's me, Qian'er, I'm Hongxia." As soon as Qian'er wanted to shout, she was covered by Hong Xia.

"Sister Hongxia, why did you come here?" Qian'er asked in a whisper.

"I heard that Niangniang was named the imperial concubine, and I heard that the imperial doctor came to Guanju Palace this morning, what's the matter, Niangniang's injury is not good again?"

"No, no, it was the mother who choked on the water when she was bathing, and the emperor was worried and asked the imperial doctor to take a look."

"You'll be choked when you're bathing, Qian'er, you'll be honest, what's wrong? I see that there are many more people guarding outside the Guanju Palace, what's going on? ”

"Sister Hongxia, don't ask again, I can't say if I ask. Miss is fine, don't worry. Don't talk nonsense, prince. ”

"Then you have to tell me what the hell is going on so that I can go back and not talk nonsense, otherwise, you take me to see Niangniang, and I will ask her personally." Red summer is not so easy to pass.

"Don't don't, don't bother the mother now, she doesn't want to see anyone, even if the prince comes, it's a closed door. There are some things that you can't hide for long, but you have to promise that you can't tell the prince when you go back. Qian'er actually wanted to find someone to talk to, to get an idea, and she was very scared to see Chu Xiangwan sitting from dawn to dark without eating or drinking.

"Okay, let's go to your room." Hongxia realizes that this matter is serious.
