In the prison, due to the special entrustment, Yue Da's life was not hard, there were meat, vegetables and wine for meals, and even the bedding was the latest, so this kind of life was naturally envied by other inmates in the prison.

"Hey, it's time to eat!" As he walked outside each cage, he knocked on the walls of the barrel with a spoon containing soup, waking up the prisoners in the prison. His eyes swept over Yue Da's cell, picked up another delicate food box in his hand and walked up, approached him and said with some respect and some mystery: "Master Yue, your meal has arrived, and today the National Teacher has specially explained to you to make some big supplements." I'll put this for you, you eat slowly, and I'll collect the lunch box later. ”

When he got up, the jailer also deliberately gave him a look, and with the four words of the national teacher that had just been aggravated when he spoke, Yue Da naturally understood what he meant. After taking the food box, he went to the corner of the cell, laid out the drinks and dishes one by one, poured himself a glass of wine, and began to eat.

When he was halfway through eating, he felt a little wrong, originally he thought that there must be some mystery in this meal, and Lou Wange would leave him some information, but the wine and food were more than halfway through, but there was no abnormality, how could it be? And just now, the jailer specifically hinted at what information Lou Wange wanted to tell him? Unwilling, he rummaged back and forth, but there was still no clue.

Xu is wrong, it may be an ordinary meal. He simply put his mind at ease and ate and drank heavily.

After eating and drinking, he lay back on his bed, looked at the black prison roof and thought: I have been here for several days, there is no news from the outside world, Lou Wange made him obedient, but there is no instruction, and I don't know what the situation is outside?

In fact, the situation outside is not necessarily good, and the death of Duwei here has not been fruitful. The biggest suspect, Yue Da, is in prison, but the case has been delayed for a long time because there is not enough evidence. Over there, the emperor has not been in the court for two days because of the wind chill in his body, and the government and the opposition have been talking about it, and many people's hearts can no longer be closed, and they are all speculating that the emperor is not in good health, and Beiyue is going to change the dynasty.

Lou Wange knows that the emperor is not simply cold, the emperor is a person who takes care of Beiyue, even if his health is not good, he will not shirk the government. So as soon as he heard the news, he hurried to the palace, but was stopped by Haifeng at the gate of the palace: "Evening song, the emperor is unwell and doesn't want to see anyone, please go back." ”

She frowned, what's going on? The emperor has never treated himself like this, let alone when he is sick and comes to visit him, how can there be a reason to be closed?

"Haifeng, you can see clearly, even I can't see the emperor?" Lou Wange felt more and more that something was wrong, and she didn't dare to think deeply for the time being.

"Wan Ge, I know that you are also worried about the emperor's condition, but the emperor is not in a good mood, he really doesn't want to see anyone, and he specially ordered the old slave not to let you enter the palace to see." Haifeng lowered his head and explained, but he was actually avoiding Lou Wange's inquiring eyes, he didn't dare to look directly into Lou Wange's eyes, for fear that one wouldn't help but tell her the truth. So much so that Lou Wange said that he took a step back, and his head was lower, which was extremely embarrassing.

Lou Wange looked at him and shook his head and said, "I am in a bad mood, I occasionally feel cold, and I don't want to look at it, so he has seen the imperial doctor?" What kind of medication can be prescribed? Although I can't understand the reason for the emperor's approach, and I don't seem to be able to say half a word when I look at Haifeng, I still have to care about it.

"Wange, don't worry, the emperor remembered your words and didn't see the imperial doctor in person, the emperor only informed me of his symptoms, and I went to the best imperial doctor in the imperial hospital to prescribe a prescription according to this symptom. I also served the emperor and drank medicine. Today is going to be better. He continued to perfunctory.

"Okay, this is a newly prepared medicine, most of the medicine I sent last time I drank it, you send it to the emperor. Just say I'll come to see him tomorrow. Lou Wange handed the new medicine to Haifeng, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Yes." Haifeng took the medicine, hurriedly entered the hall and closed the door. Lou Wange closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Lou Wange was even more uncomfortable and confused, at this time she felt like a child abandoned by her parents, the closed door was like a deep thorn slashing at the beauty of her heart, little by little, the feeling of loneliness and helplessness hit again along the gouged wound, and she couldn't breathe.

On the way back, the fire hung above the two walls of the long street in the morning and dusk, and he was in a trance, just like Lou Wange's flickering mood at the moment: just now Haifeng said that the emperor was in a bad mood and didn't want to see people, but he didn't mention the cold, and according to this hour, the emperor should have just taken medicine, but Haifeng didn't have the slightest smell of medicine. Why did the emperor and Haifeng behave so abnormally? How do you feel like you're hiding from something? And his attitude towards her - she suddenly remembered that the first few times he saw the emperor, his attitude towards herself was also a little abnormal.

When did this begin?

She patted her head and stopped: After the Blood Spirit Incident, it started with the Cold Snow Pavilion Feast! It's not good, the emperor has something to hide from her.

Immediately change direction and return to the main hall, no matter what, today you must see the emperor to explain things clearly, what is he hiding from her?

"Evening song, you can't go in, you can't go in." Haifeng hurriedly stopped Lou Wange, he didn't think she would go and return. However, where can he stop the current Lou Wange.

"Emperor!" Bypassing Haifeng and heading straight for the gate, he slammed open the door and shouted.

However, the hall was empty, and there was no candle flame in the main hall, only the sound of the evening song hovered in the empty hall, and it was quiet and silent at all, not at all like an emperor's bedroom. Bypassing the hall, she found that only behind the carved dragon sandalwood screen, a little dim candlelight, heard the door was pushed open, the emperor behind the screen was obviously startled, the figure jumped with the candlelight, bypassing the screen, she just saw the emperor hastily picked up the picture scroll that had just been shocked, and trembled to roll the scroll back to the top of the bookshelf.

Only then did he turn around: "Evening, evening song, what are you doing when you come in?" Didn't I tell SITC not to let anyone in? ”

"Emperor, you have something to hide from me, I didn't want to disturb you, but you have been too strange recently, after thinking about it, I still think it is better to find you clearly." She didn't ask about the contents of the scroll, and judging from what he had just done, it was something that could make an emperor nervous like that, and no one would be able to touch it. Although she had already seen—

In that scroll, a woman was depicted, but she had never seen her face, and she guessed that it was probably a portrait of which lady the emperor loved—

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, he probably thought that Lou Wange hadn't noticed the painting, or hadn't seen the content of the painting clearly, so he walked to the main hall and lit the palace lamps with a fire fold: "I'm just infected with the wind and cold, and I'm unwell and inconvenient to go to the court, where will there be anything?" ”

"Emperor, don't you want to lie to me, since the last Hanxue Pavilion banquet, your attitude towards me has changed, and today you are even more avoided, you said that you don't want to go to court because of the wind cold, but there is no smell of medicine in the whole hall, and your complexion is not like feeling the wind cold. Can you fool me? ”

The emperor didn't speak, he stood upright in front of the glass palace lamp, and the dancing flames cast his shadow on the wall, flickering, and the whole hall became dead and silent for a while.

"Emperor, you and I have known each other for twelve years, and for so many years, I don't ask you to treat me as a relative, but we can at least be regarded as friends, what can't you say to me? Or, do you think there's something wrong with my Lou Wange? Lou Wange is pressing step by step, no matter what, she must ask what is going on today.

"Wan Ge, I have always, always regarded you as my biological daughter, but there is always something unspeakable between us that keeps us apart, yes, I don't have a cold, your feelings are not wrong, but do you know why I am different to you?" He looked back at her, and there seemed to be endless disappointment and sadness in his eyes, and in a moment, such emotions disappeared, leaving only the sadness and indifference that belonged to the emperor alone.

Why?

She had also asked herself this question thousands of times in her mind, and in terms of the cause and effect, there would only be one reason: "Are you hiding my blood spirit identity from you because of me?" ”

A strange look flashed in the emperor's eyes, even if Lou Wange had seen too many people and observed too many expressions, she couldn't understand the meaning of that look, and for a moment, she thought she had guessed wrong.

"Then tell me why you are hiding it from me? You know that the Blood Spirit is a secret of the royal family! The emperor asked coldly, no longer having the gentle attitude towards Lou Wange before.

"It is precisely because of this that the blood spirit was born in the royal family, owned by the royal family, and is the perfect weapon for the royal family. And I, unfortunately, is the blood spirit, I have been hiding it from you, just afraid that you will be jealous of me, I don't want to make our relationship different because of the blood spirit. Lou Wange explained, if she didn't tell the emperor, in fact, she was afraid, how could it be so simple as a blood spirit if she was caught in it.

"The blood spirit is owned by the royal family, can you forget the connection between them without telling me? If it weren't for the last time Hanxue Pavilion came back, Yunluo Zhiwu didn't say the reason, the sixth and fourth came to me again to test the matter of the blood spirit, and then I asked Haifeng to check the details of you over the years, I didn't know that you had concealed my identity. The emperor was not angry, and it was the first time she had heard such an angry question.

"I," she was speechless, not knowing how to explain the matter, "so what are you going to do now?" Do you want to bring the Blood Spirit back to the royal family and become your puppet, driven by the royal family? ”

The emperor hesitated, and was silent for a long time before he turned his head to look at Lou Wange, his eyes were scarlet, and he seemed very disappointed: "Wange, I think I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked you to come to the imperial capital, I shouldn't have asked you to help me deal with the affairs of the imperial capital, and even before, I shouldn't have named you a national teacher, I shouldn't have known you, so that so many things wouldn't have happened, and I wouldn't-"
