The imperial study was silent, the door was open, the night breeze blew in with a chill, and the candle flame protected by the lampshade was blown and shook a few times.

"I don't know what the sin is!"

Chu Huai'an replied, because of his close relationship with Chu Lingzhao on weekdays, he was not particularly strict with the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and as he spoke, the person had already raised his head, turned his head, and unexpectedly saw a tall person standing next to him.

The man was wearing a jet-black court robe, standing respectfully, looking at his nose and nose, and not looking at Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Lord Zhao, it turns out that you are a person who likes to make small reports!

As soon as he saw Zhao Hanzhuo, Chu Huai was relieved, and turned his head to look at Chu Lingzhao: "If the emperor's cousin wants to punish the minister's crime for Li Yong's matter, the minister will admit it, but that Li Yong scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, bullied the people everywhere, and there is so much money in the family, it is really the anger of people and gods, and the minister must not tolerate and raise adultery!" ”

Chu Huai'an said righteously, every sentence was sonorous and powerful, and this posture was very likely to use his own net worth and life to suppress the Qing Dynasty.

Chu Lingzhao didn't really want to cure him, and when he heard him talk so poorly, he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, you are still poor, should I still praise you for seeing uneven roads, eliminating harm for the people, and sending you a notice?" ”

"There is no need for the notice, if this matter really embarrass the emperor's cousin, it is nothing for the minister to be wronged."

Chu Huai'an got cheap and behaved, Chu Lingzhao shook him a knife: "Since I know that this matter will make me embarrassed, I should think more about it before acting." ”

There is still a bit of pampering in this warning, where is it really warning Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an naturally knew that Chu Lingzhao wished that he had made a mess of the entire court, and as soon as the two looked at each other, they both knew each other's thoughts.

Lord Zhao, who entered the palace overnight to sue the emperor, installed a sculpture next to him, and only knelt down to listen to the order when Chu Lingzhao called him.

"Zhao Hanzhuo took the order! Li Yong was dismissed and detained in Dali Temple on the same day, no one was allowed to visit without my order, Dali Temple personally supervised the matter, if anyone dared to obstruct, there would be no forgiveness! ”

"Obey the order!" Zhao Hanzhuo replied loudly.

Chu Lingzhao looked at Chu Huai'an again: "Zhao Grievance makes the case arrogance, but there is a reason for the incident, the circumstances are excusable, the merits and demerits are offset, no reward or punishment, in view of the particularity of his position, if there is a need in the future, he can jointly handle the case with Dali Temple!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Chu Huai'an and Zhao Hanzhuo thanked each other together, but Chu Lingzhao's purpose was just to let the two of them jointly handle the case, as for the process of handling the case, whether to report to Dali Temple first and then arrest people, or arrest people first and then throw them to Dali Temple, it all depends on the mood of the two, which is tantamount to opening another way for Chu Huai'an.

"It's not too early, Lord Zhao should leave the palace early."

After Chu Lingzhao said thoughtfully, Zhao Hanzhuo retired, Chu Lingzhao rubbed his eyebrows, and asked Chu Huaian and Su Li to stand up.

"After dealing with state affairs for a day, I'm a little tired, so you two can have dinner with me first."

It's past dinner time, just past the New Year, and the state affairs are so heavy?

Su Li was surprised, silently followed the two of them to the side hall, just entered the hall, the palace people put the soup pot and ingredients, there is a carbon fire under the soup pot, it is gurgling and boiling, and the fragrance of the wine that has already been simmered fills the whole room, revealing the warmth that makes people relax.

After entering the room, Chu Lingzhao relieved himself of the cold royal aura when he was discussing in the imperial study, and changed into a peaceful body, like a brother in an ordinary family.

"This is the fresh way to eat that Feiyang said on the excerpt, the dish will not be cold, the more you eat, the warmer it becomes, I have wanted to try it for a long time, but I haven't had time, today I just tasted it with Jinzhi."

Chu Lingzhao said happily that the flying Yang in his mouth was Zhao Feiyang, the hussar general who guarded the northern part of the country.

Zhao Feiyang, like Lu Halberd, each of them guards one side, unless the holy decree decrees, they are not allowed to leave their posts without permission, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, they can only offer a fold to wish the country prosperity.

Xu was extremely hungry, Chu Lingzhao's eyes lit up when he looked at the food, and his expression was also very happy, as if he didn't know anything about Su Wangyue's fetal gas, Su Li didn't know what Chu Huai'an was thinking, at least he didn't show any anxiety or worry on his face.

"There's something interesting about this little thing." Chu Huai'an looked at the pot with great interest, and threw the prepared ingredients into the pot with Chu Lingzhao to boil.

The pot was not big, and after putting some soup on the edge of the pot, it was about to overflow, so the two put down their chopsticks, and Su Li stood up and helped the two of them pour a glass of wine each.

The warm wine entered the stomach, and the heat quickly surged all over the body, Chu Lingzhao drank three glasses in a row before putting down the wine glass, there was already a fragrance in the pot, Chu Lingzhao and Chu Huai'an were not polite, and they put down their chopsticks neatly when they saw what they wanted to eat.

Chu Huai'an couldn't stay idle, and he wanted to talk about some trivial and interesting things while eating, and even Li Yong told him that the dog in the county government had given birth to a few cubs during the day.

Chu Lingzhao has been controlled by the Taifu since he was a child, because he is the prince, he never dares to be willful in doing things, so he especially likes to listen to Chu Huai'an say that there are no such things.

Only at this time can he completely relax and not think about the undercurrents surging under the court, and the treacherous wind and clouds.

When eating, Chu Lingzhao laughed a lot, he didn't like to laugh, and his smile was shallow, a bit similar to Gu Yuanfeng, but it was deeper than Gu Yuanfeng, making it impossible for people to see through.

The two of them ate the prepared ingredients like a storm and finally had a full heart, Chu Lingzhao didn't like to eat too much, and after drinking another glass of wine with Chu Huai'an, he put down his chopsticks, but Chu Huai'an seemed to be not full, and slowly scooped up the meat in the pot.

Chu Lingzhao relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, looked quietly, and said in a moment's time: "Sincerely, do you know how much of my treasury was eaten by this meal?" ”

Chu Huai'an didn't raise his head, and asked strangely: "Zhao Feiyang's grandson asked you for money again?" ”

"Last winter, there was a severe snowstorm everywhere, and there was a shortage of forage, so the nomadic herders who were originally far away from each other waited for an opportunity to raise the price of forage."

Chu Lingzhao said gently, his expression was normal, he couldn't tell whether he was drunk or not, what he could discuss with Chu Huai'an was already a state affair, Su Li got up and was about to find an excuse to wait outside the hall, but saw Chu Lingzhao beckoning to her: "It's okay, sit down." ”

“…… Your Majesty and the Hou Ye discuss state affairs, and the people's daughters and daughters are here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Su Li still stood and didn't sit down, Chu Lingzhao raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly, and suddenly laughed after a while: "What's wrong?" Didn't Ah Li even dare to talk about military aircraft? ”

"Yes!"

Su Li sat down in response, Chu Huai'an stuffed something in his mouth, and then hummed dissatisfiedly from the topic just now: "Are those nomads unbeaten?" When do we usually undertake their benefits? ”

The relationship between the Yuanzhao Kingdom and several neighboring countries or alien races is generally not bad, although the thrones overlap, but the military reserves are still there, and the capable generals are still there, so the countries are still afraid, but the people's hearts are always greedy, especially if there are major natural disasters, some people will be ready to move.

The north is bitterly cold, and the nomads have suffered from snowstorms, and the price hike is nothing more than because they are seriously affected by the disaster and need to buy grain from Yuanzhao Kingdom, if the price negotiation of grain and grass is not good, at the latest by the middle of the year, I am afraid that they will be forced to rush into war.

The same hidden danger also exists in the northern border pass, in addition to the intrusion of foreign invaders, there is also the pressure brought about by the life of the people in the border pass.

If internal and external troubles erupt at that time, the situation may not be optimistic.

"What does Ah Li think should be done with this matter?"

Chu Lingzhao looked at Su Li and asked, although it was a question, his eyes seemed to be sure that Su Li knew how to solve it.

"Your Majesty, according to the foolish opinion of the people's daughters, the nomads have raised the price of forage, which is nothing more than the impact of the snow disaster, and they are worried that they will not be hungry this year, and they will also buy grain from us when they take the silver, so they might as well let people collect grain at market prices nationwide, and exchange grain with nomads for forage."

"Beijing is thousands of miles away from the north, and if the grain is collected in this way, plus transportation and manpower, the cost of silver is not much lower than the price offered by the nomads."

Chu Lingzhao retorted, and Su Li nodded: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the two are indeed almost the same, but food can solve the urgent needs of the nomads, they must be happy to do so, and the friendly relations between the two sides can be extended, if they are unwilling to accept this proposal, I am afraid that there will be fraud in it, after all, with a large amount of military salary, they can do a lot of things, but it will be much more troublesome to get food and exchange it for silver!" ”

"You mean they're aggressive?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, Su Li shook his head: "The people's girls have no such intentions, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and besides, this can also increase the income of some people, presumably they will also be grateful for Your Majesty's imperial grace." ”

With such a method of killing three birds with one stone, Chu Lingzhao naturally had no reason to refuse.

After solving his worries, he was in a better mood and finally had the energy to ask for other things.

"What kind of wind is blowing today, and I actually entered the palace overnight at this hour?"

Chu Lingzhao asked with a smile, it was rare to have the heart to joke, Chu Huai'an put down the chopsticks in time, and burped very unimpressively.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to cause some trouble to the imperial cousin, and I don't want to go, I want to go to the palace to offer a treasure, so that the imperial cousin can dissipate his anger."

After the words fell, Su Li took out the painting scroll very cooperatively and presented it to Chu Lingzhao with both hands: "This is the mother and son peace picture drawn by the people's daughter for the concubine Niangniang, I hope that the concubine Niangniang can give birth to the dragon heir safely as soon as possible, please take a look at it!" ”

The palace man who was waiting next to him stepped forward with great insight and slowly stretched out the scroll, and the faint fragrance of ink mixed with a little sweet taste spread in the air.

The woman in the painting is extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are picturesque, every place is full of gentleness, she is wearing the palace dress worn at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the luxurious palace dress covers her lower abdomen that has not yet been revealed, it looks like an ordinary person, but her hand is slightly supporting the lower abdomen, showing a protective posture, and the whole body reflects the brilliance of motherhood.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the woman in the painting still has the white hosta that has been given to Su Li on her head.

The white hosta was not conspicuous among the delicate and dazzling headdresses, but Chu Lingzhao saw the hairpin at a glance, and subconsciously, he glanced at Su Li, who hung his head slightly, and stood beside him with low eyebrows, as if he did not notice his gaze.

"I have long heard that Ah Li is the crown of Kyoto, and today I saw Ah Li's Danqing, and it really lives up to its name, showing all the charm of the concubine."

"Your Majesty's praise!"

Su Li said and leaned over and saluted, Chu Lingzhao asked people to wrap the scroll, and sat down again: "It's just that I heard that this mother and son safety map wants to be inked with the blood of their loved ones, Ah Li was injured a few days ago, and it takes so much effort, I'm afraid my body can't stand it." ”

Chu Lingzhao's tone was friendly, as if he was really just Su Li's brother-in-law, who was caring about his sister-in-law, Chu Huai'an listened on the side, his lips pursed into a straight line, he naturally knew that Su Li was injured, but he didn't know that this person actually did such a thing behind his back.

"Your Majesty Xie cares, it's just a little injury, compared with the concubine Niangniang and the dragon heir in Niangniang's womb, it's not enough to worry about."

Su Li replied with kindness, Chu Lingzhao hooked his lips and smiled: "It's good that Concubine Ai has a sister like you." ”

After speaking, the eunuch in the respectful room came to the door and asked: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, but you have to prepare to rest?" ”

"You don't have to turn over the cards, Concubine Ai is frightened today, I'll go see her in a while."

I don't know who this is for.

Chu Lingzhao sat down for a while before getting up to leave, the palace people holding the painting scroll followed behind him, the other palace people stepped forward to clean up the scraps, and Chu Huaian led Su Li to the dormitory where he rested on weekdays.

The night was a little deeper, and everywhere was quiet, except for the faint light of the flickering lanterns in the hallway, and the night wind was still cold on the face.

Walking so quietly, Su Li suddenly felt a little sympathy, since Su Wanyue entered the palace, Chu Huai'an should have experienced many moments like this.

Because I was worried that I hurried into the palace, but after entering the palace, I couldn't see the person's face, I couldn't see whether she was okay, and even asking a word related to her was arrogant and disrespectful, but I still wanted to try to get closer to her.

Su Li wasn't sure that Chu Huai'an was the person who loved Su Bangyue the most in the world, but she was sure that Chu Huai'an would not love another person as much as she loved Su Bangyue......

At the same time, on the other side of several palace gates, the young emperor stepped into the Yunchen Palace, and the palace people guarding the door immediately reported to the court with a smile: "Welcome Your Majesty!" ”

Chu Lingzhao didn't stop, strode into the house, the fragrant wind was blowing in his nose, the palace people stepped forward to help him take off his coat, and the young and beautiful concubine Niangniang was standing next to him with only a tulle, looking at him shyly and timidly.

In the dim candlelight, Su Bangyue's eyebrows and eyes look better, and after a few years, her skin is still soft and plump, and the touch is excellent.

Inexplicably, Chu Lingzhao thought of the person in the scroll he had just painted, obviously with the same face, but Chu Lingzhao felt that the real person was not as good-looking as the person in the painting.

"The concubine has prepared hot water, Your Majesty should soak your feet first to relieve your fatigue?"

Su Wanyue asked in a low voice, and had already helped Chu Lingzhao sit down on the edge of the bed, squatting down to help him take off his shoes and socks.

Charcoal was still burning in the house, she was wearing very little, and when she squatted down, it was easy to squeeze the scenery on her chest into a dry appearance, Chu Lingzhao did not restrain her desires, and when Su Wanyue raised her head, her cheeks flew red: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that it is still ...... Not yet. ”

She said shyly and timidly, but she was very happy in her heart, since ancient times, pregnant concubines, in order to protect the dragon heir, could not sleep with the emperor, but she didn't expect Chu Huai'an to come to her bedroom these days, and the sullenness of being reprimanded by the Queen Mother today has also dissipated a lot.

"I'm not going to mess around."

Chu Lingzhao appeased, he has always been very gentle with the harem concubines, so he is also very popular, Su Wanyue lowered her head embarrassedly, the palace people quickly served hot water, Su Wanyue did not fake others, squatted on the ground to help Chu Lingzhao rub his feet.

This is what makes her better than other concubines, she knows what is the most intimate and knows the most measured, when Chu Lingzhao is with her, she often has the illusion that they are just ordinary couples.

This kind of idea of husband and wife should not be in the emperor's family, but Su Bangyue has the ability to give him such an illusion, and the reason why it is an illusion is that when he was almost about to believe it, she broke the illusion with her own hands.

"I heard that Concubine Ai was scolded in the mother's harem today, and she also had fetal gas, but what grievances did she suffer??"

This news actually reached Chu Lingzhao's ears in the evening, but he didn't rush over, but waited until now to ask casually.

Su Wanyue lowered her head, her fingertips pressed Chu Lingzhao very comfortably, her tone was brisk, she didn't have the slightest intention of complaining, and said softly: "It's all because my father doesn't know people clearly, and he has caused trouble to His Majesty, and it is natural for the Queen Mother to be angry, and the concubine has no grievances, and she ......."

Speaking of this, Su Wanyue lost her voice, and the movements of her hands stopped, as if there was something unspeakable, she actually liked to give people the illusion of forbearance and restraint like this, and she had to wait for others to ask.

This time, Chu Lingzhao cooperated with her alone, and asked after her: "Why didn't Concubine Ai suddenly say it?" ”

Su Wanyue raised her head when she heard the voice, her eyes were red, and her lips were bitten white by her, she didn't have half a grievance on her mouth, but the grievances were written on her face.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't like the third sister, the courtier concubine at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet helped the third sister say a few words, but I don't want to make the queen mother's heart unhappy, the third sister is now the person who Hou Ye protects at the tip of her heart, and the queen mother is angry with the courtiers and concubines, and it is understandable."

She took the initiative to mention Su Li, Chu Lingzhao raised her eyebrows, but it was a little more interesting: "Oh, so much love for the concubine has been dragged down by her, so according to the opinion of the concubine, how about your sister?" ”

Chu Lingzhao's question made Su Wanyue's eyes wander for a moment, as if she couldn't grasp his thoughts, as if she was afraid that what she said would anger him.

"It doesn't matter, she is her, you are you, I will not be angry with you like my mother."

After getting the guarantee, Su Bangyue breathed a sigh of relief, and then seriously helped Chu Lingzhao press her feet: "The third sister of the concubine is very good in terms of talent and appearance, I grew up with her since childhood, and the sisterly relationship is also very good, but it is just ......" Su Wanyue glanced at Chu Lingzhao, and saw that his expression was enjoyable, and there was no unhappiness before continuing to speak.

"It's just that she has a strong temperament, and she can't tolerate half of slander, before the palace banquet that day, she also begged the concubine to find a way to allow her to become a sister-in-law, and the concubine forced her to stay, thinking it was for her good, but she didn't want to take into account her thoughts, and even annoyed the queen mother."

Su Wanyue explained bitterly, her face was full of chagrin, as if she had done something bad with good intentions.

She helped Su Li speak before, firstly, she wanted to show that she missed sisterhood in front of Chu Lingzhao and everyone and was a person who valued feelings, and secondly, she wanted to see how Chu Huai'an tortured Su Li.

But she didn't expect that the sadness and pity of that day was directed and acted by Su Li, judging from the letter Sizhu handed her, Chu Huai'an had made Su Li sad, and it was obviously very good to her.

Today's Queen Mother found an excuse to make things difficult for her, and she also knew that Su Li was not going to be a monk and a sister-in-law that day, it was the Queen Mother who made a decree, Su Li coaxed her to let her help speak, but let her invisibly offend the Queen Mother, today's humiliation is all due to Su Li, how can Su Wanyue not be annoyed?

"According to Concubine Ai's words, the third sister is determined to become a monk by herself?"

Chu Lingzhao asked in a low voice, the water was already soaked, and Su Wanyue raised one of his feet to help him wipe it clean.

"The third sister has always been like this, it's the concubine's fault ......"

Su Wanyue's tone was a little choked when she spoke, but before she could squeeze out her tears, Chu Ling asked rhetorically: "If it is really as Concubine Ai said, Ah Li is so strong by nature, why didn't she die headlong in the first place, but instead return to Beijing after five years?" ”

He called 'Ah Li' in front of Su Bangyue, his tone was intimate, and Su Bangyue's movements were stiff, Chu Lingzhao took the handkerchief in her hand, wiped the other foot dry, and sat on the soft bed.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Su Wanyue muttered, her expression was still confused, her brain was chaotic, and she finally realized that Chu Lingzhao was a little wrong today, but she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she couldn't even find a way to remedy it.

Su Bangyue stood there, forgetting to even ask the palace people to come in and pour water to wash her feet.

Chu Huai'an thought of Su Li's answer about forage today, and suddenly found that this smart, clever, generous and decent concubine in the past was actually just average.

It's just that he was squinted by the illusion of a moment, and he felt that she was different from others in every way.

Seeing that Su Bangyue's little face turned pale with fright, Chu Lingzhao beckoned to her, Su Wanyue slowly moved to sit down beside him, and her body was taken into his arms, even if she was leaning on this person's warm chest, she couldn't feel a trace of temperature.

Chu Lingzhao rested his chin on her shoulder socket and played with her slender fingers: "Aifei, the queen mother is old, sometimes it is normal to not know people clearly, you don't have to change your mind in order to please her, you didn't do anything wrong when you spoke for Ah Li that day, but you did something wrong, do you know what it is?" ”

His voice was extremely bewildering, and Su Wanyue answered ignorantly: "What? ”

Chu Lingzhao didn't answer immediately, but clapped his hands lightly, and a palace man brought in the scroll just now.

"Open it and show it to the concubine."

Chu Lingzhao ordered, the palace people untied the ribbon on the painting scroll, and the one-person-high scroll was immediately unfurled, Su Bangyue's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at herself vividly in the painting in a daze.

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

She was greatly shaken, and there were also painters in the palace who painted portraits of her over the years, but there had never been one who could paint her as beautiful as in this painting.

"This is the picture of the mother and son that Ah Li sent you."

Chu Lingzhao replied, the surprise and smile on Su Wanyue's face froze, she looked at the painting, and suddenly had the illusion of being targeted by evil ghosts. The woman in the painting also changed her face suddenly, it was not her, but the subordinate who was sunk in the pond and didn't even have a place to be buried.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and then a cold sweat broke out, Chu Lingzhao kissed her on the face: "This painting is hanging in the palace of the concubine, when will the concubine know where she is wrong, come and tell me again, these days, the concubine will take care of the baby!" ”

Su Bangyue was hit too hard, and she didn't react for a while, Chu Lingzhao had already let go of her and got out of bed and was about to leave, her body was suddenly cold, Su Bangyue was out of proportion for a while, and hugged Chu Lingzhao from behind.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Mingjian, did the third sister say something to Your Majesty? The third sister has always been jealous of me, this time she came back to take revenge on me, Your Majesty don't believe what she said! ”

Su Bangyue shouted in surprise, with a crying voice, the tears that had just been squeezed out finally fell and smashed silently on the smooth ground.

She hugged Chu Lingzhao's back tightly, the breathing and heartbeat of the two of them rushed together, after all, they were the people who had shared the same bed and couldn't be closer, Chu Lingzhao stopped and didn't rush to leave.

Su Wanyue seized the opportunity, hugged him tighter, and said helplessly and aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, please don't treat your concubines like this, if the concubines do something wrong, please make it clear to Your Majesty, the concubines have always been ignorant, please don't let the concubines guess!" ”

Chu Lingzhao turned his head to look at the portrait, looked at the white hosta on the head of the person in the painting, and said coldly: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, why did you give her the birthday gift given to you by the queen mother?" ”

There were also concubines who gave things from the Queen Mother to others before, as long as they were not discovered by the Queen Mother, naturally there would be no problems, and Su Li didn't wear that coral hairpin at all that day, how could Chu Lingzhao account for this kind of thing?

But at this moment, Su Wanyue was frightened, she didn't notice the trap in Chu Lingzhao's words, and immediately replied: "Ah Li is the sister of the concubine, and the concubine only thinks about giving her all the good things, the queen mother has always been generous and loving, and she won't worry about the concubine because of such a trivial matter......"

Su Wanyue said in a panic about the benefits of the Queen Mother, but Chu Lingzhao ruthlessly broke away from Su Wanyue's hand, she cried and grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, as if he left here today and would never come back.

At that time, she didn't think about how terrible it was to lose the emperor's favor, she just panicked and didn't want to lose him as a person.

"Your Majesty!"

Su Bangyue knelt on the ground and screamed miserably, Chu Lingzhao finally looked down at her, her eyes were extremely gentle, as if she had returned to the day when she first got married, she was obviously a side concubine and a concubine, but he passed the candles in the cave room in her room and gave her great favor.

"Concubine Ai, do you remember that white hosta was a gift from you on the eve of my accession to the throne?"

Chu Lingzhao asked word by word, and even his voice was so gentle that it didn't seem like words, but it made Su Li's face pale and bloodless inch by inch.

Chu Lingzhao ascended the throne three years ago, on the eve of his accession to the throne, he was in Su Bangyue Palace, almost lingering with her until dawn, he didn't sleep, and went directly to the enthronement ceremony at dawn.

When he left, he left behind the white hosta, he had two women at that time, but his heart was completely occupied by her alone.

What about Su Bangyue at that time? On the one hand, she hasn't let go of Chu Huai'an in her heart, and on the other hand, she is jealous, even if she lingers with Chu Lingzhao all night, the person who accompanies him to worship the sky and ascend the throne is not her Su Bangyue!

She was thinking about other things in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to notice the white hosta, let alone the meaning behind the white hosta.

Su Wanyue was stupid, she knelt on the ground and looked at Chu Lingzhao, and even forgot to shed tears.

This look was too pitiful, Chu Lingzhao stretched out his hand to help her up, hugged her to the edge of the bed and sat down: "The ground is cold, Concubine Ai should not think about her own body, but also for the children in her belly." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Su Wanyue called weakly, and wanted to catch Chu Lingzhao, but was frozen by his eyes that suddenly became cold and piercing.

"Aifei, do you know why you were the first to conceive the heir of my dragon?"

Su Wanyue shook her head, Chu Lingzhao showed affection from the corners of her eyes, raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face with the tips of her thumb, and took her makeup with it.

"Because I want you to be the first to get pregnant."

After saying this, Chu Lingzhao's whole person became gentle again, his fingertips rubbed Su Wanyue's cheeks with nostalgia, and sighed softly: "Ai Concubine, I really loved you......

I loved, but I don't love now.

Su Wanyue was like someone pinching her neck and couldn't breathe, so she could only watch Chu Lingzhao leave without hesitation.

This was the first time that the emperor arrived at the concubine's dormitory, but left halfway.

The palace people guarding the door ran in in panic, and just about to ask what happened, Su Wanyue finally let out a heart-rending shout.

She grabbed the hairpin on the makeup table like crazy and threw herself at the picture of the safety of the mother and son, eager to tear the painting to shreds, and was hugged by the two palace people.

"Mother, please stop your anger!"

"Niangniang, you can't help it!"

The palace people admonished in unison, and the hairpin stopped only an inch away from the painting, and Su Wanyue also knew very well that this painting was given to her by Chu Lingzhao herself, and she couldn't tear it and didn't dare to tear it.

She looked at the painting, looked at the gentle and virtuous woman in the painting, tore the last layer of disguise, and asked angrily: "Su Li, why don't you die!" Why don't you die!! ”

She is so hysterical, but the person in the painting is still noble and gentle, as if she is watching her lose everything little by little, embarrassed.

Su Bangyue made a fuss for a long time that night, and the palace people who were waiting couldn't understand how the noble concubine, who had always been gentle and polite, could become like a shrew after annoying His Majesty.

On the second day, the news that Chu Lingzhao went to the Weichen Palace to sit and leave spread throughout the harem, and Chu Huai'an and Su Li were a little surprised when they heard it in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The concubines who came to greet the Queen Mother couldn't stay idle, and they all took the opportunity to step on Su Bangyue, saying that she had fallen out of favor, and they were all waiting to see her jokes.

But Su Bangyue was not downcast and frustrated, when she came to greet the Queen Mother, she was still wearing luxurious palace clothes, dressed herself beautifully, straightened her back, ignored the eyes of everyone who wanted to watch the play, and saluted the Queen Mother with a few thoughtful manners, and then gracefully held her stomach.

She was so beautiful that she couldn't say anything, when she saw Su Li, her eyes just paused, and then she sat down in her place as if nothing happened, if it weren't for the palace people who served her, no one could imagine how crazy and scary she was last night.

"Isn't there anything else to do? It's better to go out of the palace first, lest you listen to us say something boring. ”

The Queen Mother turned her head and spoke lovingly to Chu Huai'an, the implication was clearly to drive Chu Huai'an away, she had never been like this in the past, but since the previous turmoil, she had the intention of asking him to avoid suspicion.

Everyone knew what the Queen Mother meant, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the handsome Marquis of Fengshen.

Chu Huai'an got up willingly: "I would like to retire!" ”

After saying that, she was about to leave with Su Li, Su Wanyue said softly: "Hou Ye, slow down, the concubine has a few words to say to Ah Li, can you please make it convenient for Hou Ye?" ”

I cried for most of the night last night, no matter how well Su Wanyue pretended, the hoarseness in her throat couldn't be hidden, everyone glanced at each other, and they all used silk handkerchiefs to cover the corners of their lips and snickered.

Chu Huai'an didn't look at Su Bangyue, turned his head to look at Su Li, and gave Su Li a look in a place where others couldn't see it, signaling her to refuse, Su Li pretended not to see it, and bowed slightly sideways to Su Bangyue: "Since the concubine is invited, there is no reason for the people to disobey." ”

Su Li agreed, and the smile on Su Wanyue's face was even worse, and she took two steps forward to hold Su Li's hand: "Ah Li is really separated from this palace!" ”

Su Wanyue spoke eagerly, but it was reasonable to pull Su Li out of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and the palace people in front and behind walked a little distance, leaving a space for Su Bangyue and Su Li to talk.

There was no one else around, the smile on Su Wanyue's face dissipated, and the hand holding Su Li kept tightening, as if she could break her wrist.

It's just that this bit of strength is nothing to Su Li now, because she didn't even frown.

Walking to a more secluded place, Su Wanyue finally couldn't help but be the first to speak: "I haven't seen you for five years, my sister is really a good means, and she actually played the palace around!" ”

Su Wanyue's tone was quite annoyed, Su Li guessed that the Queen Mother didn't have a good face for her after the palace banquet, and the corners of her lips hooked: "The concubine is serious, I haven't settled the old account with you five years ago, if you hadn't moved your mind to harm me first, you wouldn't have had a dislike with the Queen Mother." ”

"Hehe, my sister is really confused, what old accounts do you have between me and you? Five years ago, it was you who didn't love yourself, caused so many disasters, and ruined your reputation so that your father couldn't hold his head up in the court, and you should be blamed for not knowing what to do! ”

Su Wanyue said softly, as if mentioning the incident five years ago, she grabbed Su Li's sore feet, and she could choke Su Li speechless.

This matter has been said too many times, and now Su Li only feels numb when she listens to it, and she nodded in agreement: "What happened five years ago, I was stupid and stupid, I don't want to study with Niangniang, it's just that the second sister married by mistake, the nucleus died unjustly, and the husband abolished his right hand, but I can't help but calculate these three things with the concubine!" ”

These three things are the three knives that Su Wanyue stabbed in Su Li's back, Su Li didn't know it before, but now that she knows, she naturally has to pull out this knife and insert it back into her, so that she knows the taste of pain is fair.

Su Bangyue's eyes widened, and there was incredulity written on her face: "Are you crazy? What does all this have to do with me? Do you have any proof? ”

Su Bangyue's voice rose uncontrollably, she shook her head gently, and the delicate beads on her head made a small sound when they hit.

Su Li looked at her calmly: "The concubine seems to have forgotten that only Dali Temple needs evidence to handle cases, and I do things with intuition!" ”

It was Su Li's business for Su Li to seek justice for Su Zhaoyue and them, and she decided to do it, without proving it to anyone or needing any explanation.

This sounds unreasonable, but it's the most straightforward.

Feeling Su Li's determination, Su Bangyue no longer made senseless disguises, she grabbed Su Li's hand and pressed it to her lower abdomen, and it was still flat across the gorgeous palace clothes.

"Ah Li, if I fall here today and have no children, there are only you and me here, what will happen when you say it?"

"It is a big crime to murder the dragon heir, when the nine clans of Zhulian, although I have been removed, but if Your Majesty wants to investigate deeply, I am afraid that the Su family will not be able to escape the blame." Su Li replied calmly, her hand firmly attached to Su Bangyue's belly, Su Bangyue was not very satisfied with her knowledge, and continued: "Ah Li should have her own purpose when she returned to Beijing this time, right? If you die like this, what will happen to those unfulfilled goals? ”

Su Bangyue asked faintly, bewitching and inducing, wanting to see Su Li panicked, collapsed and scared, it was best to kneel at her feet and surrender to her and beg for mercy.

But Su Li didn't.

After listening to her words, Su Li was still very calm, and there was a trace of pity in her cold eyes, as if she was looking at a poor worm: "The noble status of the noble concubine Niangniang, I am willing to bury me with the dragon heir in my belly and the Su family, I have no regrets in this life, but if the mother does not have the support of the dragon heir and the Su family, I am afraid that the life in this deep palace will be worse than death, right?" ”

After speaking, Su Li's five fingers tightened slightly, feeling the force exerted by her fingertips on her abdomen, Su Bangyue took two steps back suddenly, and looked at Su Li with a panicked look, as if Su Li was really going to kill the child in her womb just now.

Su Li was not surprised by her reaction, what Su Li cared about was almost lost five years ago, and what Su Bangyue cared about was not only the position of the concubine, but also the possibility that the queen was given thousands of favors by the emperor.

She cares about so many things, and she is destined to have no determination to go toe-to-toe with Su Li, so this is a gladiatorial battle where the winner is divided.

Seeing that Su Bangyue was so scared, Su Li didn't look at Su Bangyue again, but just stood in place and 'kindly' made suggestions for her: "Niangniang has now lost His Majesty's favor, and the child in this womb must not have any mistakes, otherwise, Niangniang will have no chips in her hand, although I have old grudges with Niangniang, but the child is innocent, after all, from the blood relationship, the child should also be called my aunt when he is born." ”

"Shut up!"

Su Bangyue roared, her chest rose and fell sharply, her breathing was heavy, and she lost the dignified elegance of the concubine, on the other hand, Su Li still looked indifferent and pleasant, the two of them stood together, who was better, you could see at a glance.

What Su Bangyue hated the most since she was a child was Su Li's appearance, as if Su Li was always right and others were wrong.

Whether it is her knowledge or appearance, she, the concubine, will never be as good as Su Li, the concubine.

Everyone envies her for making a marriage contract with the prince at the age of ten, but so what? No matter how loud and beautiful the name of the side concubine is, she is only the prince's concubine!

She was jealous of Su Li, jealous that Su Li could worship under Gu Yuanfeng's door and follow the first genius to read and write, although Gu Yuanfeng was seven years older than Su Li, his kindness to Su Li had already far exceeded the love of master and apprentice!

She was also jealous that Su Li could walk with Chu Huai'an openly, and she could only desperately restrain her feelings from marrying someone she didn't like!

Obviously, she is the concubine of Shangshu Mansion, why does she want to be a concubine, and Su Li can enjoy so much favor?

Years of anger came to her heart, Su Bangyue looked at Su Li with a hideous expression, and said word by word: "Su Li, I used to be a concubine, you were a concubine, I was the queen of the other day, you are the people, in this life, you can only be trampled under my feet, and there will never be a day to turn over!" ”
