- Wang Chi's words specifically mentioned the word "home", and the other meaning in this sentence is very clear. The second prince, Wang Hong, heard that his eyes were slightly hot, and he didn't say any more nonsense in the ceremonial scene, just like the son of an ordinary family when he heard his father's call, he responded very kindly, followed his father's footsteps and got into the car together, and sat side by side.

Leaving Li Gai's hand holding a strong palm, although Wang Chi sat on the spacious and comfortable imperial chariot, and no longer had to expend the strength that had become a burden on his current tired body to maintain his standing posture, he still did not feel relaxed at the moment. There was chaos in his mind, and the hand he held on his second son's wrist suddenly tightened.

The second prince, Wang Hong, felt a sudden bone-splitting pain in his wrist, and the green tendons under the thin layer of skin on the back of his hand were even more prominent, but he just frowned, then took a deep breath and endured the pain.

Silently exhaled, he looked sideways at Li Gai, who had just helped his father into the car, and was still standing beside the chariot at this time, and said calmly: "Commander Li, please go with me." ”

Li Gai understood the meaning in the eyes of the second prince, and nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a guard led the horse over, and he stepped up, and took the whip handed by the guard, but he did not use it, but just shook the reins, and controlled the horse's walking speed to keep pace with the imperial chariot, and his one man and one rider always walked on the side of the imperial chariot.

The group walked in the direction of the palace, leaving behind the ruins of the "Yuwu Pavilion" and the only female assassin left alive in today's assassination operation.

The Kyoto garrison commander Li Gai escorted the emperor back to the palace, but he only took one shadow guard and five swordsmen, except for one shadow guard, two short sword guards and two shield guards who were the first to escort several wounded people to medical treatment, and five short sword guards and eight shield guards were left at the ruin site.

Obviously, Rigai took this female assassin very seriously. Because when Li Gai had just arrived near the "Yuwu Pavilion" that was already on fire, he left a short time before making a move at the woman, and quietly observed and speculated on her. He believed that the female Assassin was most likely a minor leader among the Assassins, and he was eager to hear some valuable information from her.

The Assassin "clean-up" work in the inner city of Kyoto has been going on for almost half a month, and because the operation process is deliberately low-key, it has not had much impact on the lives of the residents of the city. But. For the sweepers, the harvest in these ten days was not ideal, because all the remnants of the assassins that could be searched were corpses, and those who were not corpses had escaped.

But today. Finally caught a dead man, not the kind of dead man who can casually lose his life for the killer organization.

At the same time, Li Gai also had a preparatory consideration in his heart, to keep the still alive female assassin back to the Commander's Mansion to be imprisoned pending trial, in addition to preventing her from trying to kill herself halfway, but also to prevent her from being killed by her peers on the way back.

In the affairs that Li Gai took over, whenever there were two things related to death and life, the two extremes of leaving the mouth alive and extinguishing the mouth were often criss-crossed, which was also the result of his years of training. There is also a habit of thinking in which the two assumptions jump at any time.

If it weren't for the fact that he was going to send the emperor back to the palace, there would definitely be no more forks in the way, and Li Gai would definitely put the female assassin in his sight, and personally send her back to the Commander's Mansion without leaving at all, so that she could make an exception and taste the treatment of the emperor before being interrogated.

And although Li Gai has more important things on his shoulders. If he didn't give the female assassin a ride, he also left more than half of the guards he had carefully trained, plus the officers and soldiers of Kyoto Prefecture were also summoned by him, so the team escorting the female assassin back to Kyoto Prefecture was also lined up with hundreds of people.

This battle was a real battle, and it was several times more than the officers and soldiers who were sent out to detain prisoners on the day Wan Defu, the former official of the Ministry of Justice, was beheaded three years ago.

Three years ago, it seemed that the number of officers and soldiers escorting prisoner vans to the court was due to the fact that there were fewer officers. That's why Wan Defu, the condemned prisoner, was stabbed to death by several killers on the way to death before he was delivered to the place of death by a prisoner car, which made him eat two more times than the beheading.

On that day, seeing that Wan Defu would inevitably die, it seemed redundant for the killers to do so. But only a few officials of the Criminal Department who secretly interrogated Wan Defu knew in their hearts that this death row prisoner still had something to swallow that should have been spit out. It depends on whether he can let go of his mouth after seeing the guillotine. That's why someone has to kill him, even if it's just a little faster for him to die.

Today, it was out of concern that Ligai had sent more men to escort a female Assassin into prison. I think that Wan Defu was more or less interrogated in prison and died on the way to execution. For the interrogators, who still had a glimmer of expectation, the damage was almost negligible. But look at this female assassin, the trial hasn't started yet, so you must hurry.

However, there are always many variables in the world that cannot be controlled by manpower, and even many strategists who are accustomed to manipulating events as their specialty are often caught in the middle of events and control the door of instability.

Li Gai felt that the manpower he had arranged for the escort was already too sufficient, even if he encountered a killer who jumped out halfway to kill him, it was enough to deal with it. The worst result may be that the soldiers on his side will be slightly damaged, but with his own trained personal soldiers and attendants in the team, this kind of personnel loss should also be able to be quickly charged.

But what Li Gai never expected was that the soldiers he sent to escort the female assassin were indeed attacked by the killer on the way, but the killer who came was only one person, and it was also a woman.

The woman was not dressed in black and covered her face with a black cloth, but she dressed as an ordinary woman, walked towards the escort of hundreds of people, broke the necks of a dozen soldiers with her bare hands, killed people without spilling half a drop of blood, and then took the female assassin away.

Killing people shouldn't be difficult for her.

But she took the female assassin alive with her.

It's not that a sword is going to kill her.

As he was about to leave the palace and return to the palace as one of his guards arrived at the palace and told him about the chaotic battle he had encountered on the way to escort the female assassins.

As he finished the last word after listening to the servant guard, the bone china teacup in Li Gai's hand had already turned into powder in his palm.

"A group of ......" Li Gai was furious, and he almost re-exported the word "rice bucket".

However, at the thought of Wang Chi resting in the warm pavilion on the south side of this garden, he narrowly suppressed his voice. The explosion of anger collided with the sudden extreme restraint, which provoked the rhythm of his breathing, which was as steady as a mountain rock, to jump a little.

The close guard who had paid tribute to him had already changed his face in fright, and knelt on the parquet stone floor with a "bang".

After a moment of silence, Li Gai called the guard to his feet. Shen said: "Immediately ask the painter to draw the face of the female thief, and the faces of the two female thieves will be painted, and the whole city will be searched." This time the search operation was no longer carried out in secret, and the order was sent to the City Gate Division. All the soldiers who have reported for leave today in the garrison of the city have arrived at their posts, and they have sent additional guards as quickly as possible. Once there is an abnormal movement, the net nail plate array! ”

"Yes!" The cronie guard hurriedly answered the order, but when he was about to retreat to give the order, he turned his face back again when he had just turned around, and asked Xiao Yi: "Great Commander, is it captured alive or killed this time?" ”

"If you catch it alive, you will be counted as meritorious. If you can't catch it, the old and the new will be counted together! Li Gai's eyebrows furrowed. Go to the Commander's Mansion and send out all the five small groups. The official wants to see how the two female thieves escape! ”

When the guard heard this, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He knew the methods of the five groups, and he didn't say anything more at the moment. Take the command to run.

Before leaving the palace and returning to the Commander's Palace, Li Gai had to see Emperor Wang Chi again. Because of the strange internal injuries on Wang Chi's body, he had to make sure again before leaving. This time, he estimated that he would not have time to enter the palace again in a day or two.

Try to put his steps very lightly, and when Li Gai walked into the warm pavilion where Wang Chi was resting, the first thing he saw was Wang Hong, the second prince, who was also walking lightly.

Wang Hong made a silent gesture towards Li Gai, and Li Gai turned around consciously. Walked out of the warm pavilion side by side with him. After stepping out of the room, Wang Hong waved away the palace people who followed behind him.

Walking slowly between the zigzag garden corridors, and unconsciously walked to the hexagonal pavilion where Li Gai had just sat on, Wang Hong saw the broken porcelain slag on the stone table and the tea on the table at a glance, a trace of surprise slipped in his eyes, and he asked: "What disturbed Uncle Li so angry?" ”

Out of the eyes of the people in the maid's palace. Wang Hong naturally changed his official title to Li Gai.

A few years ago, when Li Gai was Wang Chi's shadow guard, he was also the "hide and seek uncle" that Wang Hong saw most often, and the two formed a lot of love in those years in the palace.

For this, Wang Chi, as the emperor, is of course happy to see it. Li Gai is his brother and best friend who married Jin Lan, if he didn't become emperor. Even if he achieves the position of the general of the border, it is still very likely that his son will worship Li Gai as his righteous uncle.

As for Li Gai himself, when there were no other servants around him, he didn't need to have too much responsibility for identity rules, so he also calmly accepted the second prince Wang Hong's closeness to his nephew. He has no wife or elder at home, no children under his knees, and he is middle-aged, and sometimes he thinks about this matter, and then transfers some feelings to the young man in front of him who he has watched grow up.

Regarding the rescue of the female assassin, Li Gai was not prepared to say too much to Wang Hong, but he still left everything to do by himself.

After a somewhat reluctant smile, Li Gai only picked one or two words about the female assassin, and then his gaze stopped on Wang Hong's injured hand a few days ago, and when he spoke again, he diverted the topic: "Old injuries become new injuries, but you must not be careless." ”

The second prince, Wang Hong, said with a smile: "It has been re-bandaged by the imperial doctor, and they have also told it like this, so it will not be in the way." ”

"Your complexion is not very good, it is still the time you were injured a few days ago, and you hurt your vitality. It's best to heal the injury at once and not recur it like today. Hmmm......" At the end of these words, there was a hint of hesitation in the tone of Li Gai, who had always been concise and clear, "If you are injured on your hand like this, you should hang your forearm with a strap, so that you can get better faster." ”

It had been years since he had been injured in a fight, and his memory of such experiences had blurred a lot.

But Wang Hong laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "The imperial doctor said the same thing, but I think it's too unsightly to have a cloth ring around your neck." Wouldn't it be enough to just tuck your hands into your sleeves? ”

Li Gai looked at Wang Hong's left and right hands intertwined in the cuffs opposite, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Then it has to be your sleeves wide enough." After Wang Hong of this nephew's generation, Li Gai's mood also slowed down a little, so he took advantage of the situation to take a sentence.

The uncle and nephew smiled at each other, and at the same time, they both read the meaning of "something" from each other's eyes, and gradually they both smiled separately. Both of them knew it in their hearts. What happened in the Hengtai Pavilion neighborhood this afternoon was not easy to deal with, and Li Gai did not have any extra time to chat at this time.

"How is Your Majesty's physical condition now?" Li Gai had something to hurry back to the Commander's Mansion to arrange, so he took the first step to ask about the things he was worried about on the emperor's side.

"When I came back, I just washed up and went to sleep. What should I say about what you are asking? The imperial physician only said that his father was buried in the rubble for a while. The lack of qi hurts the lungs, and chokes on the fireworks, so although there is no injury outside the body, the burns are in the internal organs, and there will be symptoms of heartache, and you need to rest for a period of time. When Wang Hong said this, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, and after a slight pause in his voice, he continued: "Listening to what Uncle Li just said, it seems that he also knows a little bit about medical science, so from Uncle Li's point of view." Are the imperial doctors' diagnoses accurate? ”

(713), pro-sparse-

Li Gai shook his head slightly and said: "I am a person who practices martial arts, and I have a more comprehensive understanding of acupuncture points, and I can also know some skin about the diagnosis of pulse, but I have not studied pharmacology and medical theory like a real doctor." But listen to what you just said. The imperial doctor's diagnosis is also decent, and His Majesty does need to recuperate now. ”

Hearing that Li Gai agreed with the imperial doctor's diagnosis, the suspicion in the eyes of the second prince Wang Hong not only did not subside, but increased, turning into a look close to questioning, and his tone remained calm and said: "Is the accurate result so?" You said the word 'decent', but I can't help but be suspicious. ”

In Li Gai's heart. The diagnosis of Wang Chi's injury did have a result that was different from the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, but he was not completely sure of the conclusion he had reached at this time, so it was inconvenient for him to immediately explain his point of view in front of Wang Hong.

He remembered the two guards who might have suffered the same internal injuries as Wang Chi, and now that they were being treated in the Commander's Palace, he had to go back. From the diagnosis of the two of them, he determined his speculation about Wang Chi's injury. He couldn't try Wang Chi's body, which was one of the reasons why he sent those two palace guards to the Commander's Mansion.

"His Majesty did suffer some internal injuries, and for those who practice martial arts, such things will inevitably happen occasionally." After a little deliberation, Li Gai finally spoke. But he only picked a few light words, and temporarily reassured Wang Hong, "Quiet recuperation is naturally the best way to recover, and this imperial doctor is not wrong." In addition, there were two guards who were injured almost at the same time as His Majesty. I need to go back and find out their injuries before I can be sure of something, and if Your Highness believes me, you will wait for me for another day. ”

Wang Hong suddenly sighed, and said in a slightly sandy voice: "Of course I believe in Uncle Li. ”

Knowing that Wang Chi's physical condition was quite stable at this time, and with a few words, the heart of the second prince Wang Hong was also stabilized, and Li Gai announced his resignation.

Wang Hong wanted to send Li Gai for a while, but he was politely dissuaded. Seeing Li Gai walk away quickly, in the corridor of the royal garden where the palace lights gradually turned on, Wang Hong's face gradually became cold, and there was a thick tiredness in his eyes.

After sitting at the water-stained stone table under the hexagonal pavilion for a long time, he took a deep breath, got up slowly, and slowly walked to the warm pavilion to look at his father again, and then slowly came out, dragging heavy steps towards Huayang Palace.

After Wang Hong slowly left from the east gate of the royal garden where the warm pavilion was located, not long after, two palace maids came in from the north gate of the garden, each carrying a lantern with a glass lampshade in their hands, and then Concubine De's phoenix robe and deerskin thick-soled boots stepped in.

When she was still more than a dozen steps away from the door of the Warm Pavilion, Concubine De waved her hand and left all the palace people who were serving around her in the corridor, and she stepped into the Warm Pavilion alone.

After Wang Chi returned to the palace, he did not rest in the dormitory, but rested in the warm pavilion of the South Compound, which was also a choice to follow the instructions of the imperial doctor.

The South Compound is not big, but it is very quiet, because the guards here are very strict, if His Majesty needs a quiet environment, dozens of shadow guards in the South Compound can clean up the noise sources within a hundred steps outside the courtyard at any time.

It is also for this reason that even if there are palace people passing by this area, they have to deliberately bypass it. Because the palace people didn't know when His Majesty was inside, when he needed to be quiet, and the tribe sent those bat-like men in black to clean up the four fields. If you don't pay attention, you are like a rabbit and you are picked up by an eagle and thrown far away.

After the news of Wang Chi's return to the palace spread, several people came to visit, but they couldn't cross the outer wall of the South Compound, and they were invited away by several people in black.

More than ten years ago, when Wang Chi was still guarding the border in northern Xinjiang, he had a wife. also married several concubines, and had a total of two daughters and three sons. The eldest son died at an early age, the third son was absent from home all the year round, and the youngest daughter has been sitting outside the palace family. I'm still worried about how to recruit it back. Now in the palace, Wang Chi's closest people are only his eldest daughter Wang Qing, his second son Wang Hong, and then his favorite concubine Xiao Wanting.

For these three people, of course, the shadow guards of the South Compound can't be stopped.

The second prince, Wang Hong, came back with the emperor. And not long after the emperor rested in the warm pavilion, the princess Wang Qing arrived. But because she saw her father's uncomfortable appearance due to injury, she couldn't stop crying, Wang Hong was worried that she was seriously injured by grief, and quickly made the decision. Two grandmothers persuaded her to go back to her dormitory.

As for why Concubine De is late, it can be understood that husband and wife always need to have a solitary environment before they can talk about themselves.

What's more, the second prince didn't stay in the warm pavilion for long, and after careful calculation, Concubine De was only half an hour late.

There are only three palace people serving in the warm pavilion. However, at this time, the emperor Wang Chi, who was sleeping peacefully on the imperial couch, did not need any service, as long as the environment continued to be quiet.

The three palace people in the warm pavilion saluted Concubine De silently, and after getting up, they were pointed out by her outside the pavilion with a look.

There are only two people in the room, one bedroom and one standing, and Concubine Xiao Wanting stood three steps away from the couch, quietly looking at the emperor's husband who was sleeping evenly with his snort, so after a while, she stepped closer to the three steps. She squatted down close to the edge of the couch and gently took her husband's hand outside the quilt.

Wang Chi, who was still aching in his chest and abdomen, actually slept very lightly, and felt his hand being held by something warm and wet—anything that came into contact with him at this time would make him feel a little uncomfortable—so he closed his eyes and struggled with only a subconscious.

His sudden subtle movement really startled Xiao Wanting.

After a while, after confirming that her husband's shaking of his hand was just an unconscious move, Xiao Wanting breathed a sigh of relief, but her mood was still a little disturbed. Put your husband's hand back into the brocade quilt. tucked the corners of the quilts on both sides of his shoulders, and Xiao Wanting stood up from the couch, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

Did you just dream?

In your dream, who did you think was holding your hand?

Or should I say, when I hold your hand. Is it me who you see in your dreams?

Xiao Wanting asked three questions in her heart at one time, and these three questions did not come out of her mouth, some of them seemed to be asking her husband Wang Chi, and some of them seemed to be questioning a certain role she played in the Wang family.

After standing so quietly for a long time, Xiao Wanting made a move, raised her hands hanging by her side and rubbed them.

These hands shook her husband's hand just now, but it didn't seem to bring down the slightest warmth.

I don't know if it's because my husband's always fiery hand has been a little cold since he returned tonight because of his injury; Or is it because when she held his hand just now, he suddenly struggled, and then broke away the softness and warmth in her heart......

Spit out the truth after drinking, and speak more truthfully in dreams.

Although Wang Chi's move just now was very slight and short-lived,

But for Xiao Wanting, it was equivalent to a message from the bottom of his heart...... Refuse.

This is a trace of panic and sorrow that Xiao Wanting has hidden in the deepest part of her heart and is also the most difficult to erase since marrying Wang Chi for 14 years.

Although with the death of the woman, she had no need to worry anymore, because the cause of the panic might put her position in jeopardy. But after the woman disappeared from this world, it didn't take long for her to live happily, and Xiao Wanting became frightened and sad again.

Because she found that the woman's soul lived in Wang Chi's heart, and she was powerless to do anything or change anything about it.

How to kill that trace of soul that lives in the depths of Wang Chi's heart?

Xiao Wanting lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, where a phoenix feather was embroidered on the fabric, layered and colorful. The tip of the feather is also strung with an oval piece of gold leaf, and a pearl is embedded in the middle of the gold leaf. For the comfort of dressing, it should not be too heavy, so the pearl particles on the clothes are not large, but they must have enough years of growth to be shiny and bright.

This set of gorgeous clothes is still a tribute jointly presented by Jiangnan silk merchants and large pearl farmers in Bilian Lake during the Midyear Festival last year.

However, it is said to be a tribute, just looking at the fine size of this dress, it is obvious that it is a dress specially tailored for Xiao Wanting.

On the faintly revealed rank of this gorgeous costume. The other noble concubines in the palace couldn't wear it, but Xiao Wanting, one of the four concubines, put on this gorgeous costume, and she still didn't seal it afterward.

I don't know if it's because Wang Chi is too busy with state affairs, or because he has a rough attitude towards the affairs of the harem. Except for a few mentions by officials of the Ministry of Rites, he only added a few noble concubines to the harem in the several drafts held in the early years, and there was no action other than that. Let those new women enter the palace be gentle and elegant, or graceful and graceful, or flowery...... Wang Chi is still fortunate to be few, and none of those women have been promoted.

- Of course, this may have something to do with their stomachs. When it comes to this kind of thing, in fact, Xiao Wanting has some "credit" that cannot be pushed away.

Although Wang Chi's third son often does not return home and does not know where he lives in the world, his second son Wang Hong has always lived in the palace and stayed by the emperor's side. If it weren't for the fact that this Second Highness has been sick and weak, it is obvious that he is very likely to be the prince.

There are also some officials in the DPRK and China who have another suspicion in private. If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty had a third prince, maybe the second prince would have been established as a prince even if he was sick and weak. In any case, none of the two princes has been crowned a king fief, and the possibility of this kind of fiefdom is balanced.

Today, this equilibrium may remain the same. Both princes have reached the age when they really want to start studying the matter. To His Majesty's relief, His Royal Highness's physical condition gradually improved. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had a headache and couldn't figure out His Majesty's intentions.

As far as the country's plans are concerned, although His Royal Highness's physical condition is much stronger than in the past, there are still hidden worries.

The daily workload of being an emperor is very large, and people often talk about the emperor's fine clothes and food, and the food comes to open his mouth. But strictly speaking, the rules of service are intended to give a monarch a healthier physique and more time to attend to the affairs of the state, not just for pleasure.

To be a hard-working monarch, you can't do without a good physical foundation. On the other hand, the kings of previous dynasties were heroic and imposing when they first ascended the throne. But maybe after a few years, I will be sick and tired.

Occasionally, the members of the court have important events to enter the palace to play His Majesty, or when His Majesty goes elsewhere, sometimes they need to ask the Second Highness to find it. The Royal Palace is the home of His Majesty. Only his family can move around at will. In recent years, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are no strangers to the second highness who lives in seclusion, and they are also full of praise for his character, but ...... Regarding the matter of sealing the storage, everyone has a trace of concern in their hearts.

A healthy person can wear himself out like this when he becomes an emperor, let alone what will happen to a person who is already in poor health, after sitting in that position.

As for the Third Highness, he can live a life of traveling all over the world all year round, and his body is naturally speechless, but he has too little time to return to the palace, and another question is highlighted, how is his character and ability to govern the country? Officials of the Ministry of Rites could hardly find any basis for thinking about this.

But in any case, for the emperor's household affairs, the target of the courtiers and workers has changed, and the intention of encouraging the Ministry of Rites to find a way to hold a draft gift for the emperor a few years ago has long been outdated. The ministers of the court, even the Ministry of Rites, jumped in, just waiting for the decision of His Majesty Xià Lichu, and the affairs of the harem were almost no longer mentioned, and they were getting colder and colder.

Maybe when the crown prince is decided, the harem will be lively again because of the prince's choice of concubine.

However, if you observe the root cause of the desertion of the harem from a woman's perspective, Concubine Xiao Wanting has always thought in her heart that Emperor Wang Chi's feelings for the newly elected ladies and beauties in the palace are relatively weak, and the main reason is that the area where he puts his feelings in his heart has long been occupied by a woman. It's hard to get there even yourself, let alone those newcomers who have only seen Wang Chi a few times.

Because there are already people in my heart, I will not envy other flowers and plants. Other than that, everything is nothing. Wang Chi will only turn forty years old this year, and others are still in their prime, how can they not need women? Xiao Wanting couldn't help but be resentful and firmly believed that it could only be the shadow of the woman in his heart who was doing trouble!

But what must be done to kill a soul that dwells in a person's heart?

(714), distance

As far as the overall situation in the harem is concerned, the woman closest to Wang Chi is her, and Wang Chi also gave her the highest rank and favor among the women of the harem, 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. Press it on the lower abdomen. As the thoughts in her mind went on and down, her long, slender and evenly textured hand slowly grasped the gold leaf inlay on the piece of brocade, and clenched it tighter and tighter, so that the bones of her hand were craggy. The cyan meridians that were originally deep under the white skin on the back of the 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 reading and reviewing in the imperial study, and it was a great honor for him to be able to come to her for three to five nights. 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, watching Wang Hong grow up year by year. But it still can't make up for the physical and mental shortcomings caused 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. 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?

After more than ten years of observation and consideration, Concubine Xiao Wanting gradually firmly believed that all the ties left by that woman in the world should be scraped away. 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 fifth group, leaves Beijing, with the prime minister's ability to do things, even if he does not have military power, he can still paralyze the activity speed of the members of the fifth group, and forgive the remnant who is unable 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, ten fingers are not enough.

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 was as if he was sorting out some secret things, and these things were regarded as filthy, but at this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door in, and finally saw this qiē 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
