Yao Duran said: "Lin Guiren, I'm afraid you are thinking too much, this palace and Your Majesty are angry because of other things, of course, now this palace and Your Majesty have reconciled." As for whether His Majesty will ignore you in the future, it is not a problem of this palace. ”

After hearing this, Lin Meiyi panicked and shed tears in her heart: "Concubine Chen, the concubine begs you to say a few good words for the concubine in front of Your Majesty." It is not easy for anyone to enter the palace, and no one wants to be abandoned in front of the holy car, so please have pity on the poor concubine! If the concubine can regain her holy grace, she will be grateful to her mother and respect you for your protection! ”

Yao Duran exhaled lightly, rubbed the corners of her forehead, and said to her in the spirit of not making friends or making enemies: "Okay, if Your Majesty comes, this palace will tell Your Majesty truthfully that you have come sincerely, and explain the matter in words." After that, there is nothing that can be done about this palace. ”

After hearing this, Lin Meiyi's expression eased: "Niangniang, the concubine knows that the woman who can make His Majesty like it must be the most affectionate, sexual, and kind." Concubine, thank you Concubine Chen! ”

Yao Duran had no intention of circling around, and after receiving her high hat, he called her: "Okay, the night is getting deeper, the noble man should go back quickly." ”

"Yes, please also ask the mother to mourn on the mother's day, and the concubine will retire." Lin Meiyi saw hope in her, so she left with hope.

......

After some bitter crying and venting, Yao Duran suddenly learned the origin of his kiss marks, and his manic and restless mood slowly calmed down. She came to the bed and curled up on the bed with a sore lower abdomen, and the hall was a little dazzling, so she asked Biya to extinguish some lamps and candles, and she was as quiet as a cicada in the darkness.

Who knew that after a while, Huo Jingcheng came. His body was hazy and he was about to approach the bed, but he suddenly stopped, his sword frowned, and asked, "But has Lin Guiren been here?" ”

Yao Duran was puzzled: "How does Your Majesty know?" ”

Huo Jingcheng's eyes slowly appeared confused, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said slowly: "This fragrance ......"

When Yao Duran heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, can he really smell and recognize people? ? Still is?? Out of longing, will you be so sensitive to her fragrance??

Huo Jingcheng quickly returned to normal, came to her bed and sat down, and asked, "Why did she come to you all of a sudden?" ”

Yao Duran said truthfully: "She thought that I was angry with Your Majesty because of the kiss marks, so she came to explain the misunderstanding to me, and asked me not to be angry with Your Majesty again." ”

Huo Jingcheng was silent, obviously out of soul and absent-minded.

Yao Duran saw his abnormality in his eyes, and secretly thought to himself in his heart.

Huo Jingcheng saw her staring at him with a calm face, and there was an inquiring look in her beautiful eyes, he settled down and said, "Are you thinking nonsense again?" ”

Naturally, she didn't admit it and slowly shook her head.

Huo Jingcheng didn't expose it, reached out and gently stroked her face, and asked, "Why is your face still so pale?" But where is the discomfort? ”

Yao Duran lowered his eyes, covered his eyes, and said in a weak voice: "Letter period." ”

"I see." His expression was not turbulent, he immediately got up and untied his clothes, and finally got on the bed and got into the quilt, and then reached out to cover her lower abdomen and rubbed it gently.

Although the two of them never mentioned the kiss marks in the past two days, they were in each other's hearts, and now that Lin Meiyi made it clear, the two of them really let go, and they had no suspicion at this time, so they didn't mention it anymore.

The warmth of his wide palm made her relax, and she finally got a moment of comfort. Yao Duran felt his carefulness and thoughtfulness, and suddenly a sentence popped up: "Liulang is really considerate to women. ”

Huo Jingcheng couldn't hear her voice, so he said, "What are you talking about?" That's all I've ever been so considerate of you and the Queen. ”

"Oh."

In a hazy and warm mood, Yao Duran calmly chatted with him and asked about his doubts all along.

"Liulang, speaking of which, you and the queen mother can be called a husband and wife, and the husband and wife are affectionate. It's just that...... After Yi Zheng, why didn't he have another son? ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "After Yi Zheng, she had a miscarriage for no reason. The queen felt strange, so she asked the master to calculate, and the master said that Yi Zheng's life is very expensive, has the power of exclusive respect, and will overcome the siblings of compatriots, so the queen is destined not to have a second son, even if she is pregnant, she will lose it. Therefore, I am not reluctant to be with her, and I have been avoiding children for many years. ”

"I see." Yao Duran suddenly realized, no wonder the couple has not had another son for so many years. No wonder he values Yi Zheng so much and educates him carefully, it turns out that this son was born with a great weapon, a noble life, and an unlimited future.

Huo Jingcheng said: "So the future situation, who will be in charge, you have to know in your heart early." What kind of relationship to maintain with the queen must also be determined. I ask you, what do you think this preconceived notion should be? ”

Yao Duran said softly: "Peace with the queen is the best." ”

"Yes." Huo Jingcheng continued: "You have to know one thing, the hurricane is over, and the grass remains. Answer me, what does this mean? ”

Yao Duran said: "The meaning is nothing more than that when the wind blows through the suburbs, even tall and tall trees can be uprooted, and only the grass lying on the side is safe and survived." This statement embodies the Taoist idea of overcoming the strong with softness and defeating the strong with the weak. ”

"Clever!" Huo Jingcheng praised her, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, and countered her forehead: "Therefore, the favorite concubine is a tree, which has a temporary momentum, but it also buries future troubles." And those concubines who do nothing are grass, they have no power for a while, and they will have no trouble in the future. When the hurricane hits the other day, the trees and grass will fall. ”

Yao Duran said: "Liulang, I understand this truth, in fact, the emperor's favorite concubine during his lifetime will mostly become the punching bag of the future queen mother, Empress Lu and Mrs. Qi should be like this, and Bo Ji, an inconspicuous concubine, can be safe under Empress Lu." ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "So, if you don't make peace with the queen, and then I go down to the world before you, what can you do?" No matter how noble the dead are, they can't take care of the affairs of the living, why didn't Liu Bang arrange Qi Ji's back road before his death? It's just that people die and the lights go out, and the day changes, and nothing can be done. ”

Yao Duran said indifferently: "If you leave, I will follow you, and no one will want to bully me and humiliate me while you are away." ”

"Hehe......" He chuckled twice, and suddenly muttered: "Dye'er, in fact, I have some plans and ideas, but I can't explain them to you." If the time has not come, it will be too early to speak to your detriment. ”

At this time, even if he was as smart as Yao Duran, he didn't understand his true intentions for her. As far as Huo Jingcheng was concerned, although he had already planned a way for her, or, rather, their common path. However, he still had to beat her to make her feel in danger. Therefore, his plan and the path he planned could not be explained to her as early as possible, otherwise she would forget her and harm her.

......

Huo Jingcheng stayed in the palace again after five days, this move silently defeated some rumors, it seems that the theory of this favorite concubine falling out of favor is nonsense at all?

At the fifth watch, it was still dark outside the window, Yao Duran woke up in the discomfort of her lower abdomen, left the bed lightly, cleaned herself up, and then sat in front of the window and looked at it in a daze.

Today is the day of the burial of the green diaphragm......

After Huo Jingcheng woke up, he saw her sitting alone in front of the window, and he was distracted. So he said: "Send Fu Quan out of the palace on behalf of you to send off the green man for the last time." As for yourself, don't talk to me about this, because your assassination has already caused a storm in the city, and you should not leave the palace again. ”

Yao Duran listened to it, was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

After he left, Yao Duran sent Fuquan out of the palace and went to Yuan's mansion to send Lu Yan on his last journey. He helped Biya to the star-picking platform in the palace.

This star platform is extremely high, it is the highest building in the whole Nanqian, standing in the palace for many years, and has never changed its style, even the site of Yongxi for ten years has not damaged this building, not to mention that the first emperor has repaired and strengthened it many times later.

Yao Duran climbed persistently step by step, during which he was tired and took it slowly, and then continued to climb the stairs. Finally, the fragrance of sweat came up.

The platform is wide and the railings are four-folded. Standing on it and looking into the distance, the field of vision suddenly becomes broader, and the ravines and ravines of the entire Qianjing are all in the bottom of the eye, and every scene and object is clearly visible. The wind was strong in the high place, Yao Duran stood on the edge of the high platform by the railing, overlooking the direction of the Yuan Mansion, and finally saw a white funeral procession, in that column of white, there was a little purple red particularly conspicuous, that is...... The coffin of the green diaphragm.

The wind passed and tears fell, Yao Duran looked at the little fuchsia and muttered a word.

"Green Diaphragm, the world is desolate, you can rest and sleep in peace. However, whether in life or after death, you live in your sister's heart, and your sister will never forget you until one day, Biluo Huangquan will look for you again. ”

......

After getting off the star-picking platform, Yao Duran's legs were weak, but he did not return to the palace, but went to Fenghuan Palace again.

By then, the morning meeting of the concubines had already dispersed. Yao Duran asked to see her alone, and after Ruomei reported, she personally came out and led her into the queen's bedroom.

At this time, the queen has taken off the heavy phoenix crown, put on a goose yellow dress, eight skirts embroidered with colorful silk threads with colorful phoenix feathers, with her every move, as if the phoenix feathers are also fluttering, it is very good-looking. She was standing in front of the window teasing a wren in the cage, and she didn't look back and said, "Concubine Chen, what's the matter?" ”

Yao Duran suddenly lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground, her attitude can be described as respectful and sincere.

"The queen mother, the concubine is here to ask for sin, a few days ago because of the death of the princess, the concubine was confused and collided with the queen mother. After two days of reflection, the concubine had already realized her mistake and came to ask the mother for her guilt. ”

Yes, she will plead guilty to the queen and continue to be at peace with her. Not to mention Huo Jingcheng's various beatings on her last night, let's talk about the princess, she really figured it out.

The queen finally turned around slowly, and said with a smile: "Concubine Chen, are you really enlightened, or do you have to bow your head under the eaves?" ”
