- As far as the overall situation in the harem is concerned, the woman closest to Wang Chi is her, and Wang Chi has also given her the highest rank and favor among the harem women, but she is still unable to achieve the goal of replacing that woman and completely possessing him.

Regarding this result that made her helpless, sad and resentful, Concubine Xiao Wanting not only hated the woman who still occupied Wang Chi even if she died, but she was also a little cruel to herself, hating herself for being different from those newcomers in the harem, and she was really angry.

Concubine De Xiao Wanting, who was standing one step in front of the imperial couch, gradually lowered her eyes, and slowly raised her right hand and pressed it on her lower abdomen. As the thoughts in her mind fluctuated, her long, slender and evenly textured hand slowly grasped the gold leaf inlay beads on the piece of brocade, and clenched it tighter and tighter, so tight that the bones of her hand were craggy, and the cyan meridians that were originally deep under the white skin on the back of her hand suddenly became extremely clear.

This hand, which could have given people infinite tenderness and blind imagination, became a little hideous at this moment.

Emperor Wang Chi would stay at Concubine Xiao Wanting for about three to five nights every month, and such a frequency was simply a pampered treatment for the newcomers in the harem who had only been selected in recent years.

Xiao Wanting herself also knew very well in her heart that Wang Chi would spend about ten nights every month in the busy night of reviewing and reciting in the imperial study, and he could still allocate three to five nights to come to her, which was already a great honor, and she should have been content.

But she was not satisfied.

After that miscarriage thirteen years ago, she planted an unwilling seed in her heart, and with the emptiness of her belly for more than ten years, the malicious seed has sprouted and grown leaves, and now it has stretched out its branches.

If she can also give birth to a child for Wang Chi, perhaps because of a mother's love and care for her child, this seed full of anxiety and resentment will naturally wither.

But she couldn't.

Over the years, she has worked hard to do many things, one of the most important things for Wang Chi is that she took the initiative to take care of and raise the second prince Wang Hong in her early years, and took care of Wang Hong, who was a minor illness for three days and a major illness for half a month, as her own son.

But even so. watched Wang Hong grow up year by year, but she still couldn't make up for the physical and mental shortcomings caused to her by her inability to be a mother.

has lived in such an emotional absence for more than ten years, as if the favor given to her by Wang Chi has also changed, and it has become no longer a love that makes her feel sweet, but a kind of pity that makes her feel sour, and even a charity that makes her feel tired.

Without children, there is no love that needs to be waited for and precipitated, and she began to chase the lingering and uncertain hatred in her heart.

How can we completely dispel the soul that lives in Wang Chi's heart?

Only erasing the body of the woman who lived in the world is still not complete enough, after more than ten years of observation and consideration. Concubine De Xiao Wanting gradually firmly thought. to scrape away all the ties that the woman left in the world. It is possible to make Wang Chi really forget that woman.

A chill appeared in Xiao Wanting's slightly lowered eyes, and it gradually dissipated after a long time.

Let's wait a few more days.

When Li Gai, the commander of the five groups, left Beijing, with the prime minister's ability to do things, even if he did not have military power. It can also paralyze the activity speed of the members of the five groups, and forgive the remnant of the sin who is difficult to fly.

The wicked man surnamed Lin is still thousands of miles away, and has become a sick man with only half a life left, and it is expected that he will lack skills and will no longer be able to resist anything for the evil obstacle in the capital.

As for Wang Chi, he is a hard-working emperor who really regards the affairs of millions of people as his own business, and for such a monarch, if the prime minister wants him to stay in the court or the imperial study all day. There are so many ways that ten fingers are not enough to count.

Thinking of some kind of generally predictable state of affairs, the resentment in Xiao Wanting's heart was able to subside a little.

At this point, her eyes moved away from her lower abdomen.

And as soon as she raised her head slightly, she just met the gaze that Wang Chi threw at her.

It's as if you're sorting out some secret things, and these things are seen as filthy. But at this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door in, and finally saw this qiē clearly at a glance...... Concubine Xiao Wanting was shocked in her heart and pulled it hard.

Looking at his wife's hand covering her abdomen and frowning slightly, Wang Chi didn't see the coldness in her slightly drooping eyes just now, and only thought that she was feeling unwell at this time. Although he was really in a state of physical discomfort, he was suddenly woken up by a dull pain in his chest and abdomen just now, but he didn't like to lie down and talk, so he sat up, looked at his wife, and asked lovingly, "Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Wanting hurriedly took a step closer, pulled a cushion at the corner of the couch, put it behind her husband's back, and then squatted down next to the couch again.

She raised her face slightly to meet the concerned gaze cast by her husband, but based on her state of mind at the moment, she didn't think it was a concern, but a kind of inquiry. She didn't know when Wang Chi woke up, and whether he had seen what she had just said, so for a while, she didn't know what kind of answer was the most natural.

After a while, Wang Chi asked again: "If there is anything uncomfortable, don't delay, the imperial doctor who diagnoses my pulse is in this compound."

Xiao Wanting understood that Wang Chi had misunderstood the meaning of her behavior, so she probably didn't notice what she was in the mood just now, and she was secretly relieved.

"The concubine is fine, but the emperor, today's trip out will quickly scare the concubine's heart out of her throat." Xiao Wanting's gentle eyebrows furrowed, her eyebrows and eyes were full of worry, and her tone of voice gradually became the kind of love and affection between husband and wife, "What's wrong with you?" The face is so bad, and the hands are a little cold, where is the injury? Those imperial doctors, afraid of responsibility, all of them talked half of their ......"

"Wan'er, I'm out of the way, don't worry too much." Wang Chi looked at his wife's frowning appearance, and his heart was soft. But the injury he suffered outside the palace today was also injured in the heart, and this heart-stirring thought would affect the injury, and the dull pain in his chest and abdomen would also deepen. couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, Wang Chi grabbed his wife's hand resting on the edge of the couch, gently pressed it on the painful position in his chest, and then said, "Come, you sit next to me." It's uncomfortable here, you rub it, maybe it will be much better. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wanting hurriedly got up, climbed onto the couch, and sat side by side with her husband, and then she rubbed it sideways for him. As her arms swayed, the strings of gold hairpins and tassels on her temples swayed gently. The high-grade pearl jade collided gently, making a relatively crisp sound.

Wang Chi breathed a sigh of relief slowly and silently. Xiao Wanting's hands are well maintained, and the hands that don't need to do any physical labor, and the small knuckles are softer, but under the massage of such a pair of hands, the kind of weird internal injuries he suffered can actually play a very little good role.

At most, it is just by relying on the gentle touch of the skin to temporarily cover some of the dull pain that is entwined in the heart veins, which is also a symptom but not a cure.

But finally in this moment, Wang Chi felt comfortable. His tense spirits slowed down slightly as he suppressed the pain. Subconsciously leaned over his wife's side shoulder. However, he only leaned on for a moment. Then he sat up straight again, because the splendid jewels on his wife's gorgeous dress were too embarrassing.

In the past, she was sleeping or lying or sitting with Xiao Wanting, and she was all gone. The green silk is scattered, and the thin shirt is lined with skin, but this time it is a little different. Because the pain in the heart has been slightly alleviated, Wang Chi can also think about a few more questions mentally, and he suddenly has a new understanding of "luxury hinders the distance between people's body and mind".

Concubine Xiao Wanting noticed her husband's move of leaning over but quickly sitting upright again, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Wang Chi withdrew his aimless gaze towards the door, looked at his wife and smiled, and said, "It's not early." You're also tired, so you don't have to stay with me, so you won't have a good rest. ”

Xiao Wanting saw a strong tiredness in her husband's somewhat distracted eyes, and she knew that he was actually tired, so she complied with his wishes. After a few gentle admonitions, he said goodbye and left the South Compound.

In fact, as far as today's point is concerned, Concubine De Xiao Wanting should be the person who will not feel tired.

For something that had been planned for several years and should have started today, Xiao Wanting recuperated for a few days. But she was going to lose sleep tonight, because what she wanted to do was not finished, to be precise, before she started to do it, she was forcibly interrupted for some reason.

Today's Wang Chi is not only physically unbearable due to the pain, but also his spirit has been dragged to a strain, and he has not been so tired for a long time. In the past, he dealt with heavy state affairs, and it was not that he didn't feel tired, but he was physically strong and had a fiery enthusiasm for this new country, so he could hold on. And today, for the first time since ascending the throne, the cornerstone of the body has been shaken by external forces, and this fatigue that has been suppressed seems to have erupted like a torrent.

And among the people in the palace today, the second person who will feel very tired should be the second prince Wang Hong.

One night a few days ago, because of the assassination incident in the palace, although the second prince Wang Hong was only injured on one hand, he suffered a lot of blood loss. The palace people of the entire Huayang Palace served carefully and recuperated for a few days, but Wang Hong's face was still a little pale.

His physical condition is already extremely poor, and he has only recovered in the last two or three years, and he is no longer so prone to illness. But that doesn't mean he's really strong, in fact, his physique is still much weaker than his peers.

His injuries hadn't healed yet, and he hadn't recovered so much blood and qi that he had lost, so he galloped out of the palace in this physical condition, and finally broke the wound on his hand for the second time. Although some bleeding was prevented because of the cloth belt wrapped around his hand, and he was bandaged soon after returning to the palace, the situation seemed to be quite good, but at night, Wang Hong's body gradually became hot again, and his forehead was cold.

After using a little ginseng soup and washing up briefly, the second prince Wang Hong was really tired of reading and homework for half an hour every night, and went to bed early. However, he only slept for a while, and kept dreaming scattered and broken dreams, when the dream suddenly stopped in a scene, and he woke up.

As he sat up in shock, his injured hand unconsciously pressed heavily on the edge of the couch, the soft silk mattress became hard, and the sharp pain like a tear in the wound in the palm of his hand spread across his arm and into his heart, reminding him of the separation between reality and dreams.

A fine layer of cold sweat had once again oozed from his forehead.

But he did not notice this, for his gaze naturally fell on the knee-high brocade quilt, which was covered with a square cloth. It was evident that the veil had been folded into a long section at first, and as it slid off his forehead as he sat up suddenly, the fold was half loose.

Wang Hong stretched out his hand to pick up the handkerchief, twisted his fingertips, and felt that the handkerchief was an extremely simple cotton fabric, with a slightly damp coolness.

After he fell asleep, the light in the dormitory was blown out, leaving only one corner of the room that did not interfere with sleep, but the light was so weak that it could almost be ignored. However, today, the palace maid who was on duty in the dormitory vigil had already heard the sound from the couch, and by the faint light of the ever-bright lamp, through the thin gauze tent, the palace maid saw that the second highness had woken up, and immediately opened her sleepy eyes, and asked softly: "Your Highness, do you need slaves and maids to serve?"

Wang Hong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Palm lamp, you come here."

As soon as the palace maid heard the second prince call her over, her tone was extremely simple and direct, she couldn't help but feel afraid in her heart, and hurriedly lit the triangular glass lamp on the table, and approached the couch with the lampstand.

The triangular glazed lamp has a total of three candles, and the light is reflected by the crystal glazed lampstand base, just lighting this lamp, but every corner of the dormitory suddenly brightened.

With this bright light, Wang Hong saw clearly the cotton handkerchief in his hand, the handkerchief was the simplest cotton color, but in the white of the whole face, a small red petal embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief was extremely conspicuous.

Wang Hong's gaze only stopped on the petals, but his heart suddenly tightened, and his hand holding the cotton handkerchief with two fingers also shook a little, and then the whole palm rubbed the handkerchief into the palm of his hand.

The excessively bright light of the glass lamp also illuminated the pale face of the second prince and the forehead oozing a fine sweat, and the palace maid holding the lamp could see this clearly even if she stood outside the silk tent. The palace maid was very worried, after all, this prince was usually quite friendly to their slaves, which could not help but make people feel grateful, but at this time she didn't know what to do.

The second prince's health has always been very poor, and even the imperial doctor sometimes can't do it.

After standing for a while, the palace maid naturally saw what the second prince seemed to be holding in his hand, and kept this action all the time, and did not say anything again. The palace maid was surprised in her heart, and couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "Your Highness, what are you holding?" ――
