Chu Xiang has been sleeping very badly recently, always waking up in the middle of the night, looking sideways and seeing that face, his heart is even more irritable and boring, gently breaking free from his embrace, the man seems to be dissatisfied with the emptiness of his arms, and he is grabbing his mouth with his hand indiscriminately, and he is still reading, "Xiang'er, Xiang'er." "This person is the founding emperor Liang Qi, Liang Qi has come to the Mingluan Palace every night since he ascended the throne, and he never asked the other concubines in the palace to go to the Empress Dowager two days ago to ask for peace and was sneered.

Chu Xiang took the cloak on the shelf, and saw the maid sleeping in the outer hall, and gently pushed the door open and walked out. The moon in the middle of the night is surprisingly bright, holding the lotus lantern along the path slowly, the things around have long been changed, the day before yesterday she said that she wanted to see gardenias, Liang Qi ordered someone to replace all the plants in the imperial garden and the Mingluan Hall with gardenias. The night breeze blew the gardenias, bringing a fragrance, and Chu Xiang stopped to rest when he walked to the small pavilion in the imperial garden.

Leaning against the pillar and closing his eyes to recuperate, he was about to fall asleep when he heard a rough male voice, "Who is it?" Who's in the Imperial Garden! Chu Xiang frowned, and when he opened his eyes, he saw several rows of soldiers wearing armor standing under the stairs in front of him, led by a tall and mighty man wearing armor that was different from them, the saber on his waist shone in the moonlight, and his feet were chasing clouds, because he couldn't see his eyes clearly at this moment because his back was facing the moonlight.

"Who are you! Dare to break into the Imperial Garden in the middle of the night, you know that this is a capital crime! That ugly voice sounded again, it was the guard beside the man, Chu Xiang frowned, and was about to explain when he heard the voice of his maid Ayu, "Niangniang? Mother, why did you get here! The emperor can't find you, and he's angry in Mingluan Palace, so go back with the slaves. Ayu's tears flowed, it can be seen that she didn't dare to offend the emperor, but she couldn't afford to offend this one in front of her!

"It turned out to be Xiang Guifei, it was the ministers who were negligent, and I ask Xiang Guifei not to blame it." The man who had been staring at Chu Xiang spoke up, his voice was low and thick mixed with a hint of arrogance, but his eyes were still staring at him tightly and he closed his hands and made a salute. Chu Xiang couldn't bear to see Ayu's appearance, slowly got up and handed her the lotus lantern, turned his head to look at the person who was kneeling down the steps, she didn't say anything, turned around and was supported back by the maidservant.

After Chu Xiang left, everyone got up, and the man with an ugly voice said again, "Big brother, this woman is... Xiang Guifei? "Yang Lin, this matter is not allowed to be discussed again." Yan Hong's eyes were still staring at the position where Chu Xiang disappeared, she was Xiang Guifei....If the emperor's woman was not the maidservant of Fang Cai, he really didn't know, the woman who was like a fairy was leaning on the pillar, receiving the baptism of the moonlight, her soft hair hung down her shoulders, her long eyelashes trembled gently, and her pink red lips ...... Yan Hong has fallen.

When Chu Xiang returned to the Mingluan Palace, the candles in the hall were burning very strongly, Liang Qi sat on the couch and saw that she was back, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up and put her back into the couch, covered the bedding, Chu Xiang felt the heat, it turned out that there was a soup woman on the couch..... Liang Qi took the servant's bowl and gently stirred the decoction inside with a spoon, "If Xiang'er wants to go out and wake me up, how can I go alone?" After suffering from Liang Xiang'er, see how I punish you! After speaking, he tested the temperature with his mouth before feeding Chu Xiang to drink, and said while feeding, "I asked Imperial Doctor Liu, this medicine can help Xiang'er calm her nerves, and you can stop the medicine after drinking it for half a month, and then you can consider Lin'er's matter." ”

Chu Xiang's heart trembled, Lin'er.....Yes, Liang Qi has never been fortunate to other women, and now he should have a child in his twenties... Thinking that the hand in the futon stretched out to her lower abdomen, she....was not ready to give birth to Liang Qi'er, she didn't love Liang Qi....Liang Qi saw that she was silent and thought she agreed, and said with a smile, "Xiang'er, do you know about the merman's crying beads?" ”

Chu Xiang spoke, "I don't know, can Your Majesty tell me a thing or two." Liang Qi put the medicine bowl back on the table, touched her forehead, then took off his coat and soap boots, lay down on the warm bedding, stretched out his hand to hold Chu Xiang into his arms, and said, "There are sharks in the South China Sea, and the water dwells like fish. Legend has it that one day, a man was injured in the sea, and was rescued by a boatman passing by the sea, and brought back to his home to recuperate. After the injury was healed, the merman did not leave, and took the initiative to weave the silk in the benefactor's house, and when the silk was finished, the boatman found that it was different, and then he knew that he was saving the merman.

After living for a while, the merman was leaving, and he couldn't help shedding tears before leaving, and the tears fell and turned into crystal pearls. When the pearls were about to overflow in the plate, the mermaid gave them to the boatman. Turn around and jump into the sea and disappear into the vast sea. ”

Liang Qi looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms, and the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile, and the quilt was dragged up, looking at her from her forehead to her eyes to her lips with affection, he thought, he and Xiang'er's children must be very good-looking, they must be very much like Xiang'er.

The wax tears of the red candle slowly flow to the lamp holder and condense into crystals, just like a person's heart from enthusiasm to coldness.

At dawn on the second day, Liang Qi was woken up by the eunuch Bingbi, the maid waited to dress, and the eunuch named Rongcheng followed the young Liang Qi when he entered the palace, until now, seeing that Chu Xiang did not get up to serve, he was dissatisfied, so he said: "Your Majesty, you don't need a slave to wake up the concubine Xiang to serve." ”

Liang turned his head to look at the figure that was still sleeping and waved his hand, "That's it, Xiang'er hasn't slept well recently, you tell them not to disturb Xiang Guifei in a while, and the Empress Dowager will take a leave of absence and say that she is not in good health, so she won't go to ask for peace." Rong Cheng bowed his head and made a gesture of "promise" Liang Qi gently pulled up the curtain on the side of the couch, looked at the sleeping little face, gently touched it with his hand, and covered the quilt before leaving.

Chu Xiang was woken up in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ayu's crying red eyes, and slowly got up and leaned against the side of the bed with support, "Why are you crying?" Just woke up with some dry throat, Ayu took two sips of warm honey water to feel more comfortable. Ayu choked up and said, "Niangniang, Concubine He Guifei came with Yun Guiren and Ning Guiren, saying that the emperor gave Niangniang leave on the Empress Dowager's side and didn't need to ask for peace, so they had to quarrel to see Niangniang......." Ayu stopped halfway through speaking, and Chu Xiang frowned dissatisfiedly, "Continue" "Your Majesty, the emperor ordered the slave maid in the morning and said that no one was allowed to disturb Niangniang's rest..... but He Guiren didn't want to see Niangniang, and the slave and maid came to wake up Niangniang only ......" After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Niangniang, the slave is a last resort." ”

Chu Xiang probably understood what happened, and stretched out his hands to help Ayu up, "That's it, if you come, you will be safe, and wait for the palace to change clothes." ”

The sky was very good today, so Chu Xiang wore a gold thread gauze skirt, the skirt was embroidered with gold thread with a hundred phoenix songs, and there were pearls falling under the skirt, and the pearls were actually shining pink under the eyes, which was very different from ordinary white pearls. This pearl is the bead made by the merman weeping beads that Liang Qi talked about last night, and Nan'an Guo paid tribute, and these beads were all used by Liang Qi to decorate Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang's headdress is very simple, three thousand green silk shawls are worn on his head, and his face is swaying, Ayu's dexterity can always change Chu Xiang's makeup, and the peach blossom rouge of Nanmu exudes a fragrance and gently wipes it on Chu Xiang's fair face, and the whole person is in good spirits in an instant. With the support of Ayu, he walked slowly to Tingfeng Pavilion, He Guifei had already drunk the first cup of tea, and Liang Qi was really seduced by this fox spirit! Even ordinary tea is the best cloud produced in Jinling, what about her? Every day I drink the two or two hairs from the hawker outside, the more I think about it, the more angry my fingernails are deeply sunk into the flesh, Yun Guiren and Ning Guiren have never seen good things, even the chair they are sitting on has been carefully studied for a long time, He Guifei said mockingly, "What do you see?" It was a chair made of rosewood, which was different from our ordinary mahogany. ”

"If my sister likes it, just go back and send it to my sister." Chu Xiang heard He Guifei's cynicism from afar, and slowly sat on the chaise longue, and the maidservant presented a bowl of hot blood bird's nest "Niangniang, this is prepared by the emperor, saying that it is okay to let Niangniang drink it after she wakes up." Chu Xiang motioned for her to put it on the table next to her, and the three pairs of eyes stared at the bowl of blood bird's nest, Chu Xiang looked at them and asked, "If the palace doesn't want to drink, what about it?" ”

The slave servant obeyed: "The emperor said that if the mother doesn't drink it, you can pour it out." Chu Xiang didn't answer, and Ayu motioned for the maid to go down. That palace really doesn't want to drink, do the two sisters want to drink a cup? Ning Guiren's eyes were about to fall into the bowl, so he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, okay." So he got up, took two sips of the bird's nest, and drank it all. He Guifei was so angry when she looked at her! It's really mud that can't hold up the wall!

"Today, I heard that my sister is sick, my sister came to see my sister, after all, my sister is young, and it is not a good thing for the emperor to come to Mingluan Hall every night to tell my sister, this favor should be wet with rain and dew, and my sister should not be alone!" After speaking, he gestured to Yun Guiren and Ning Guiren with his eyes, and the two of them met again and again.

Chu Xiang's face did not change, Ayu took a soft pillow and put it on the side of the couch, half leaned on the chaise longue, squinted and swept the three people below for a while before saying, "The emperor came to the Mingluan Hall of the palace, it is his own business, what does it have to do with the palace?" If you have nothing to do, you will leave, and the palace will rest. ”

He Gui's popular nails were broken, looking at Chu Xiang on the rosewood couch, the clothes he was wearing were fine Jiangnan silk, the Baifeng Dynasty Song embroidered on the silk was made of gold silk thread that could only be used by the emperor, and even the pearls that decorated the skirt were all pearls turned into the tears of the mermaids paid tribute by Nan'an! What about her? The clothes on the body are still made by the Shangyuan Festival the year before last, that is, ordinary cloth that cannot be used in ordinary people, the head is wearing a gold-plated step, and the food is all leftovers, which are all things that the fox spirit in front of him does not want!

The more she thought about it, the more angry He Guifei got up and walked towards the chaise longitude, Chu Xiang on the couch had a terrible headache, thinking that she had gone out last night and got cold, she thought that the three people had already left and didn't care, who knew that when she was about to fall asleep, her wrist was grabbed by a force, and Ayu's shout sounded in her ears, "Niangniang!" What are you doing to let go of the sissy! ”

Chu Xiang was dragged to the ground by He Guifei, the steps on his head slipped from his hair in the struggle, and a green silk was sprinkled on his shoulders, and a sickly white little face was extremely pitiful against the backdrop of black hair. Ah Yu grabbed He Guifei on the side, and He Guifei saw that she was annoying, so she asked Yun Guiren and Ning Guiren to hold down Ah Yu.

He Guifei squatted in front of Chu Xiang, her wrist was still tightly held in her hand, her sharp nails were deeply buckled into the flesh, and Chu Xiang, who was in pain, bit her lip and frowned, but did not make a sound, "Slut! That's how you fool the emperor? You still pretend to be high-minded and don't clean up this palace well, you slut! After speaking, he slapped Chu Xiang in the face. Ayu was pressed to the ground and couldn't move, crying and shouting, but she could only watch Chu Xiang being beaten.

He Guifei's strength was very strong, and Chu Xiang's little face swollen as soon as she slapped her, and a trace of blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. He Guifei saw that Chu Xiang had not begged for mercy yet, and with a sweep of her eyes, she saw the golden step shake on the ground, picked it up with a smile, and weighed it in her hand, "Look at this pure gold step shake, it's different, don't you love beauty?" Hongu left a mark on your beautiful face today! Let's see how you will seduce the emperor in the future! ”

Liang Qi was in the morning court, Rong Cheng was standing under the dragon seat, and suddenly his shoulder was gently patted, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Quanzi next to Xiang Guifei with red eyes, Rong Cheng pulled him behind and asked, "Why is it in such a hurry?" Xiao Quanzi wiped his tears and said, "Father-in-law, go and save our mother!" When the slave went to the Tai Hospital to get medicine for Niangniang today, he saw He Guifei leading people to bully our mother. Rong Cheng said badly in his heart, hurriedly walked up to the main hall, and said something in Emperor Liang's ear under the questioning gaze of the hundred dynasties, and when he saw Emperor Liang's face pale, he instantly got up and ran out.

Chu Xiang already had a terrible headache and had just been slapped in his head, his brain was buzzing, and there was a breath stuck in his chest, which was uncomfortable, looking at Jin Buyan, who was getting closer and closer to his cheeks, he closed his eyes in resignation, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a scream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that He Guifei, who was holding him, had let go of his hand at some point, and the other wrist holding Jin Buyan was twisted in a strange posture, and there was a jade pendant lying on the ground, and the jade pendant was engraved with a single dragon soaring, this is .....

"Xiang'er!" Liang Qi had already arrived in the hall at this time, the shadow guard surrounded He Guifei, An Guiren and Ning Guiren, Liang Qi gently helped Chu Xiang up, and saw that his fair face was red and swollen, and a clear five finger prints were on it, and his wrist was bruised, Liang Qi's eyes were red, and he carefully picked up Chu Xiang, but as soon as he came together, Chu Xiang spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and the bright red blood sprayed on Liang Qi's face, Chu Xiang fainted directly.

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Liang Qi rushed back to Mingluan Hall with Chu Xiang in his arms, gently put her back on the couch, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood off her lips, the bright red blood flowed down her white neck, Liang Qi was afraid and his hands were shaking. The Imperial Physician was brought over almost immediately, and the Imperial Physician was already over seventy years old, and he had long been old and dizzy and weak in his legs and feet under a flying eaves walking wall. But when he saw Emperor Liang's scarlet eyes, he immediately didn't soften.

"Quick! Hurry up and treat Xiang Guifei why she suddenly vomited blood? ”

When the imperial doctor put the silk handkerchief on his wrist, he saw bruises, and was just about to ask, but was hit back by Liang Qi with an eye knife. For the first time, Liang Qi felt that time passed so slowly, why did the doctor not reach a conclusion for a long time? Anxiously pacing back and forth outside the hall, but he was not the only one who was anxious......
