"Okay, if you keep your mouth poor, the soil on your body will be embedded in the bone marrow......"

Ling Yu pointed to Ye Xiaoyu's dirt-covered body, with a look of disgust on his expression.

"The carriage is ahead, hurry up."

With that, he walked briskly forward.

Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips and followed silently with an unhappy face.

*

"Huh? I'm asking a little ...... Question, do you already have a lot of concubines now? ”

It was night, Ye Xiaoyu looked at Ling Yu who was sitting on the side and asked.

Since ancient times, emperors have been three thousand beauties in the harem, three thousand is an exaggeration, but there must be a few hundred.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Ling Yu turned his head and looked at Ye Xiaoyu with a smile on his face.

"It just came to me out of nowhere."

Being looked at like this, Ye Xiaoyu felt a little blushing inexplicably.

"It's all imaginary, and there is no difference between more and less."

Ling Yu's tone suddenly fell silent.

"Also, I have to deal with so many women every day......"

Ye Xiaoyu took it in a self-muttering sentence.

The women in the courtyard of the deep palace have spent all their lives on one man, and there will inevitably be fights between them. But no matter how much you fight, no matter how much you cheat, your years will eventually grow old, but new people will continue to emerge around you. Mother is expensive by child, and it is okay to have flesh and blood, some people have stayed here all their lives, and they have not received anything except the gray hair and the lonely deep palace.

"What are you thinking again?"

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu bowing her head and not saying a word, Ling Yu asked with a smile.

"Nope. Just think of those concubines. I'm a little sad to live for you all my life......"

"What are you sad about?"

Ling Yu turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoyu and asked with an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry for them, you see, so many people, all around you. But you are alone, and you have to deal with all the major affairs in the world, where do you have so much free time to take care of them. As a result, many people may not be able to see you in old age......"

Ye Xiaoyu said with a serious face.

Although Ling Yu is now the emperor of the Great Cause Kingdom, he is too familiar. She would forget his identity as she chatted.

"I see. I thought you felt sorry for yourself. ”

Support your chin with your hands. Ling Yu's eyes were full of smiles.

"Why should I be sad?!"

Ye Xiaoyu said angrily.

"Won't I ask you? Why should you be sad? ”

Ling Yu laughed.

"Where am I sad. Annoying! ”

Ye Xiaoyu glared at him angrily.

"I'm not one of those concubines."

"Xiaoyu ......"

Ling Yu raised his head, his eyes suddenly becoming serious.

"Huh?"

Ye Xiaoyu didn't know why.

A crescent moon streaked across the delicate turret, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls.

"Otherwise, you can stay......"

The moon outside the palace is bright. A gust of night wind passed. The white veil on the hall was rolled up. The palace lights are swaying, and the night is as cool as water.

Ye Xiaoyu raised her head abruptly and looked at the person opposite blankly. I can't tell if it's a dream or a reality.

"Look, there's everything here. You don't have to worry about your daily livelihood anymore, you don't have to run around, you just have to live well......"

The person opposite continued.

The light in his eyes was as pure as the moonlight on the horizon, pouring all the tenderness in front of Ye Xiaoyu.

Fragments of the old days together flashed quickly in front of my eyes. Someone who shines as brightly as the sun, can she really have? Or rather, does she really want to have?

"Is the queen okay?"

After being silent for a long time, Ye Xiaoyu asked.

“？”

Ling Yu frowned, not understanding the meaning of her words.

In fact, Ye Xiaoyu's words didn't mean anything, she just had no way to refuse him face-to-face. Because the person on the other side is no longer what it used to be, and now he is the king of a country.

"Miss Jia, how are you doing?"

Ye Xiaoyu explained.

"She? The same old way. But when the harem is explained to her, I almost don't have to worry about it. ”

Ling Yu pursed his lips into a line and said lightly.

"What do you mean you don't have to worry about it?"

Following Ling Yu's appearance just now, Ye Xiaoyu also supported his chin with his hands.

"Don't you have to be lucky or something?"

"I said Ye Xiaoyu, what do you have in your head? Is this what you, a woman who has not yet come out of the court, should ask? ”

The expressions on Ling Yu's disgusted face were all tangled.

"I'm curious, ask."

Ye Xiaoyu smiled shyly.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, and finally got out of the atmosphere just now.

Ling Yu has always been fine, but she prefers the cold moon to the warm sun. Let's think Ye Xiaoyu likes to be masochistic.

"Nope. I didn't touch any of them. ”

Ling Yu said, fixing his gaze on the cornices in the distance.

Just ascended the throne, a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt. Several forces secretly growing in the DPRK and China have not been settled, and Nanban has begun to show signs of movement again, where does he have the heart to take care of the affairs of the harem. Even, even the round house with Jia Xiuyu was forced by Jia Wei at that time, and it was a last resort.

He really wasn't interested in such a thing as a woman.

"It seems that you really love the Queen."

Ye Xiaoyu said thoughtfully.

"Huh?"

Ling Yu was surprised and wanted to laugh at the same time.

I don't know if Ye Xiaoyu is really innocent or deliberately trying to tease him.

"Wife of chaff, don't talk about this...... It's Xiaoyu, when are you going to find a lover to marry? ”

"I'm not going to get married. When I lived to be thirty, I would kill myself. That way, I will be able to stay young forever in this world. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Stupid or not?"

Ling Yu was a little helpless.

"How come you still think like this after all these years?"

He remembered that when he was in Lujiazhuang, she had said the same thing to herself.

"I've always been a single-minded person."

Ye Xiaoyu smiled exaggeratedly.

Rise. Look beyond the main hall.

The night breeze blows lightly and the branches sway. The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the smooth floor made of white jade, causing ripples in circles.

The two people in the hall chatted casually and laughed softly.

If time can be frozen, then the years are quiet. It's a pity that what should have passed will still pass, and what should be moved forward will still have to move forward.

*

It's been ten days.

She stayed in the palace for ten days.

During this period, she mentioned to Ling Yu several times that she wanted to go back, but each time she was politely rejected by him for various gentle reasons. Ling Yu has such an ability, which makes people ruthless towards him.

There was a light rain in the sky, and the thin rain was like a huge net. spread out between heaven and earth. The rain and dew are blowing the slender phoenix tail bamboo in front of the palace. Gathered into beads, sliding down the elegant and unique leaf tails, the crystal broke like a broken line, and struck on the ground. Intermittently. Qingyue is like a lady tapping the chime.

Ye Xiaoyu lay on the low table. Tilting his head sideways, his eyes fell on the rain and dew outside the hall, and he was bored. I don't know what to do. She'd rather be out and running around alone for a living than be trapped here like a living dead.

When Ling Yu came next time, she swore that she would be ruthless, she couldn't stay here like this with nothing to do and bored.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the inner room, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly became alert, quickly stood up from the low table, and carefully covered his body behind a stone pillar in the hall.

The strange voice sounded for a while, and then it quieted down again, and just as Ye Xiaoyu wanted to go in and investigate, the beaded curtain that was hanging suddenly shook lightly, and a person turned out in the blink of an eye.

“……”

The other party covered his face and held a knife in his hand.

Looking at each other, Ye Xiaoyu was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu, the man didn't speak, and directly slashed at her with a knife.

I don't know where the strength came from, Ye Xiaoyu picked up the low table in the hall and threw it towards the person, the low table was too heavy, but he still forced the person to take a few steps back. Immediately, she took a few more golden bottles of wine and smashed them at the man. Then he ran out of the main hall as fast as he could.

It was rainy, and there was no one in the huge palace.

Ye Xiaoyu was not familiar with the structure of the palace, and in a panic, she could only rely on her instincts to run forward. As long as I can get rid of the killer behind him.

One promenade, another promenade.

I don't know how long she ran, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she had run into a dead end, and turned her head to see that the killer behind her was still chasing unhurriedly. seemed to know that Ye Xiaoyu had no way out, so his movements became a little leisurely.

"Help—"

Ye Xiaoyu shouted hoarsely.

But all that could be answered was the sound of rain getting louder and louder.

Damn, are all the people in this palace dead?!!

Syllable.

was scolding and scolding, when his feet suddenly slipped, and Ye Xiaoyu fell very miserably.

Falling heavily on the bluestone slab, she bared her teeth in pain.

The man was approaching, and I could even feel the corners of his mouth raised.

Ye Xiaoyu panicked, gritted her teeth, and got up from the ground. The silk sleeve had been cut several times, and there was probably blood flowing from the arm. Because she was afraid of hallucinations, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but not look at it.

In front is the end of the promenade, a stone wall, surrounded by plantains.

Turning his head in despair, the man was slowly approaching her with a knife in his hand. In the current situation, even if he maintains his turtle speed, Ye Xiaoyu will not be able to run. Because it's a dead end.

On the edge of the promenade is a large lake, and the water of the lake is terrifyingly blue.

Ye Xiaoyu subconsciously retreated frequently.

There were two paths in front of her now, either just stand here and wait for the man to come and kill her, or she could grit her teeth and jump into the lake.

Either way, it seems that the end result is death.

"Help--is there anyone-!!"

Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to die yet, so she shouted even more hoarsely.

The end result can be imagined.

In fact, she ran and shouted all the way just now, but this huge palace was like dead silence, and there was not even a ghost.

The man didn't speak, just got closer and closer, and even shook the knife in his hand.

The rain became heavier and heavier, dripping on the surface of the lake, creating a circle of ripples, like a small whirlpool. (To be continued......)
