The shrill voice passed through the main hall, Lu Xihe's heart was shocked, what was he doing here?

Xiao Guifei's miscarriage involved many forces, why did she come to stir up this troubled water?

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ning Yi dressed in plain clothes, buttoning up his body to give a salute.

"See the Emperor."

The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to flatten down.

"You entered the palace at this time, do you have something important?"

Ning Yi replied, "Yes." ”

The eunuch outside the door reported, "Your Majesty, the people from the Tai Hospital ask to see you." ”

The Emperor waved his hand impatiently.

The imperial doctor entered the hall and bowed, his forehead resting on the brick, "Weichen see the emperor." After getting the emperor's permission, he spoke: "Your Majesty, there is no poison on the bracelet that the queen mother gave to the concubine Niangniang." What really caused the miscarriage of the concubine should be the fetal medicine that the concubine took in the afternoon. ”

"I already know, go down." The emperor's expression was unpredictable, "Where is the empress now?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the queen is waiting outside." ”

"Send someone to send the queen back to the palace, lest she catch the cold." There was a hint of concern in his tone, a hint of pity, not at all like the previous indifference.

Lu Xihe's heart sank little by little, is this the emperor?

He didn't love the queen, so he chose to believe in Xiao Guifei when the queen was wronged. But he doesn't love Concubine Xiao either, the favor he gave her is just the result of checks and balances of power.

He doesn't even love his own flesh and blood, he regards them as pawns, as tools to consolidate the country, and finally as flesh and blood.

What is most important to an emperor?

Sure enough, it's still his country.

But if you don't pay attention to the country, you can't be called a competent emperor.

From the moment an emperor chooses to become an emperor, he is doomed to lose a lot of things.

The same is true in life, there are gains and there are losses.

The official uniform on her body gave her the power she craved, but also made her lose her former freedom and freedom.

Is it worth it?

She couldn't answer whether she was worth it or not.

The only thing Lu Xihe knows is that he has been involved in the center of the whirlpool, and it is impossible to live in peace.

All she could do was be pushed forward.

There is no turning back.

Lu Xihe, you can't turn back.

She raised her head slightly, meeting Ning Yi's warning eyes.

When the minister heard about the things in the palace, he was really heartbroken. Pity the unborn royal brother, who was murdered by such despicable means. Ning Yi lamented, "It's just that the matter of the harem, the ministers are powerless." ”

Lu Xihe understood what he meant.

The former dynasty and the harem should not be involved with each other, this is a rule since ancient times.

"What Yi'er said is very true." The emperor crossed the Buddhist beads in his hand, "I'm confused." However, the Chunxitang case is related to the stability of the capital, and you must handle it properly, so as not to chill the people's hearts. ”

The three of them claimed to be.

"I'm a little tired, go down." The Emperor commanded.

Lu Xihe and the others bowed and thanked each other, and exited the hall in order of status.

"Wait." A deep male voice stopped her.

Is it calling her? She wasn't sure.

Three visits to the door have caused her to lose face.

She used her self-esteem and pride in exchange for the other party's avoidance.

It's ridiculous.

"This king commands you to stand." Chu ** Yin turned cold in vain, and the palace people around avoided it one after another.

Lu Xihe forced herself to calm down, she stopped her hurried steps and showed a polite smile: "See the prince, what is the matter with the prince?" ”

"Why are you hiding from me?" He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but Lu Xihe quietly dodged him.

"Lord Wang, please respect yourself." Lu Xihe maintained a smile and kept his distance.

"You are so alienated from me." He said abruptly, but in his heart, how deep is their misunderstanding? Do you have to die old and never get along?

"The prince is serious." Lu Xihe was unusually respectful.

King Chu's face was very ugly, "Let's talk, how about it?" ”

What is there to talk about? Isn't he embarrassed enough?

Lu Xihe kept telling himself in his heart that he couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past.

She knew that there was an insurmountable chasm between them, called suspicion, and suspicion. And once there is such a gap between people, it is impossible to trust each other wholeheartedly.

Without the most basic trust, what kind of relationship can we talk about?

"I don't seem to have anything to talk about with the prince." She said briefly.

The king of Chu tried to see something in her eyes, but those eyes were too clear, and there was nothing but indifference.

It's very similar to her look when we first met.

"If the prince has nothing else to do, his subordinates will retire first." She saluted one by one, in order to dissociate herself from him completely.

"The emperor has decreed that I will be in charge of this matter."

At one point, she was surprised. Then she quickly regained her composure, "What does the prince want to express?" ”

"With your help." He looked at the delicate face close at hand, it was this face that made him willing to be deceived and willing to go to the soup for her.

Lu Xihe staggered his gaze, and the fallen leaves in the distance danced in the wind, and it was autumn again.

"What else?" She only felt ridiculous now.

She, Lu Xihe, would never fall twice in the same place.

"I'll send someone to pick you up later." He said helplessly.

The corners of Lu Xihe's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, "If you want to investigate the case, it is better for the prince to go directly to Chunxi Hall." It's better than wasting time and energy on a long detour. ”

"Here you are." He said that he would leave on his own, and his tall back gradually turned into a black dot.

Lu Xihe stared in the direction he left. She asked herself, had she really been tempted?

Is she not married to him in this life?

Maybe she didn't know the answer to the first question, but apparently she knew the answer to the second question.

She wouldn't, and couldn't just stop for him.

She has her own life, and so does the King of Chu.

In that case, why bother.

She rolled over and got on her horse without hesitation. For her, the most important thing at the moment is to solve Ziyang-kun.

Ziyangjun doesn't get rid of it for a day, and she can't sleep and eat for a day.

Perhaps Lu Xihe had already expected that Ziyangjun would be a huge threat to her.

It's a pity that it's too late.

"My lord, King Gong's carriage is behind." Yu Shengwan reminded her in a low voice.

Lu Xihe looked back, the curtain of the car was lifted from the inside, a slender hand was against the side of the car, and the voice of the person in the car was low and steady, "Come here." ”

Lu Xihe dismounted and motioned for Yu Shengwan to go back first.

She approached the carriage, and the occupants reached out to pull her up.

After she sat down firmly in the carriage, she looked at Ning Yi, who was silent.

"Big brother? You okay? ”

Ning Yi raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for her, and confessed, "It's not good." ”

"What happened?"

Ning Yi smiled silently.

Lu Xihe felt furious in her heart for no reason, since he recovered his identity, she couldn't understand him more and more.

"It's nothing, Ruan Ruan, do you have a clue about Chun Xi Tang?" He pushed the small plate next to him in her direction, which contained delicate snacks.

"That man is too cunning for me to know where to start." Lu Xihe didn't have the heart to eat snacks, and now she was in a mess.

"Maybe you can ask Jin Guogong for help." He proposed, "I can't imagine that King Qing still left a ** trouble for us." ”

"His purpose is by no means so simple, and I have a hunch that he is plotting a huge conspiracy. Now we are all blinded by him. Lu Xihe is very anxious, but the fact is that the more anxious he is, the more mistakes he makes.
