Empress Xiao was woken up by the palace maid in her sleep, and when she got up, she saw the close-fitting palace maid's face like white paper, and she was frightened.

"Queen Mother, there are a lot of soldiers outside."

was in a trance, and Empress Xiao waited for the palace maid to speak a few times before she understood. Hurriedly turned over, got dressed, took two steps outside, turned back to the bed, and took out a dagger from under the quilt.

Through the windows of the dormitory, you can faintly see that the aisles outside are bright and shadowy, full of soldiers with solemn expressions and torches in their hands, their military boots leaving bird-black footprints on the precious carpet. A group of gendarmes in black robes were holding the palace maids outside in the middle and walking out, and the movements of the gendarmes were very rude and reckless, pushing and shoving.

Empress Xiao saw that the palace maids were still wearing thin middle clothes, and on this early winter night, they were trembling in panic. At a glance, it can be seen that they have just been caught from the bed. There were a few eunuchs on the side, but they all shrank aside in fear, and none of them dared to step forward.

Seeing this situation, Empress Xiao only felt a burst of anger rushing upward, and Rao is no matter how good her cultivation was in the past, she couldn't restrain it. She rushed forward in a few steps, and stretched out her hand to push those gendarmes, but those gendarmes were extremely powerful, and she did not move even if she pushed desperately.

One of the leading gang leaders shouted rudely: "Girl, get out of the way!" If you quarrel again, we won't even be you-" He suddenly couldn't go on, a cold dagger was already pressed in front of him, Empress Xiao's hair was slightly unkempt, she didn't wear a headdress on her head, her eyebrows were tight, but her eyes were shining with a cold light, and she said in a low voice: "Listen, I am the queen of the first emperor, the mother of today's eldest son, and the current queen mother - Xiao Meiniang!" What are you going to do with Hongu, huh? Even if Chen Pojun came, he didn't dare to be so rude to the palace. ”

Her words were cold. It was full of soaring murderous aura, and there was a momentum that was not angry but mighty, which frightened the group of men who usually licked blood from the knife edge and took a step back involuntarily.

The gang leader took a few steps back in fright, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The lower official doesn't know the identity of the queen mother, how offended!" Please forgive the Queen Mother. Following him, the soldiers in the living room knelt down and said in unison, "Please forgive the Queen Mother." ”

"Get up!" Empress Xiao ordered in a deep voice, seeing that those soldiers were so afraid of her, the anger in her heart calmed down a little. She asked the guy who got up in fear: "What a boldness, who let you break into the palace late at night?" ”

The gang leader hesitated: "This-this-" under the compulsive gaze of Empress Xiao. He bowed his head, but did not make a sound. Empress Xiao's gaze swept around, and the soldiers lowered their heads one after another, avoiding her gaze.

A familiar voice sounded outside the door: "It's me." ”

Surrounded by several soldiers holding torches, Chen Kefu appeared at the door with a tired face. He had just arrived, but he didn't want those gendarmes to make this scene, and secretly scolded his subordinates in his heart: "It's all waste!" So many people were actually scared away by a helpless woman! "It's a good thing he didn't let the gendarmes arrest people tonight, or else. It's not enough to laugh to death.

Empress Xiao was a little stunned and a little relieved: "His Royal Highness King Chen? ”

Like the soldiers, Chen Kefu also knelt down and saluted on one knee: "The minister sees the queen mother, I haven't seen you for a long time." Is the Queen Mother in good health? ”

Empress Xiao suppressed her anger: "It's okay. His Royal Highness King Chen, please rise. Seeing Chen Kefu appear here, Empress Xiao's eyes were full of complexity, and her tone was much calmer, but the words were still aggressive: "Didn't His Royal Highness King Chen lead the army to the south?" When did you go back to the capital, but I don't know why this palace suddenly brought so many soldiers to me tonight to arrest people? It can't be that this palace has committed some crime. Do you want His Royal Highness to go out in person? ”

Chen Kefu bowed and apologized: "Xia Guan will never dare to offend the queen mother's body." I just have urgent matters to discuss with the Emperor. Just because the situation is urgent. It was already late at night just now, and the lower official was rude for a while, so he forgot to inform the queen mother. The subordinate has already instructed his subordinates not to be rude, but who knows that they are clumsy and still offend the queen mother. I'm really sorry, so I ask the Queen Mother to spare their lives for the sake of their poor fighting, and the next official will definitely punish them with a military stick when they go back! ”…,

Empress Xiao watched Chen Pojun whisper there, and thought of that night for no reason. Although that night, there were no lights. Everything is in the dark. But the more so, the easier it was for her to be reminded of his voice. The voice was so deep that she couldn't sleep for countless nights. That voice is like a murmur, and it always appears in my ears unconsciously.

Only she hadn't seen him since that night. Although he doesn't see anyone, he lives in this nine-fold deep palace, and he can still hear his big and small news every day. No matter where you go. You can hear from him. He led his army south, and the first battle of 10,000 horses was annihilated, and she was worried for no reason, and she didn't sleep that night. Later, it was reported that there was another big defeat. 30,000 horses were lost, and even the general Xue Shixiong was killed in battle. She was even more worried that she couldn't eat the bad. This feeling made her feel ashamed, but she told herself that now that their family was in his hands, if he lost, it would inevitably be difficult for them to come back.

Later, I heard that he had won a great victory and pacified several counties in Hebei, and I felt happy for him in my heart. Later, when she heard that Princess Chen was pregnant, and that it was confirmed that it was a boy, she suddenly felt a burst of irritability in her heart for no reason, and even couldn't help but reprimand a few palace maids.

Later, the news of her husband's death suddenly came, and while she was sad and crying, she suddenly noticed that she was inadvertently a little relaxed. Such a discovery made her extremely remorseful and ashamed. She and Yang Guang have been married for decades, respecting and loving each other, and now that her husband is dead, she will still feel relaxed. If other people knew about this, I was afraid that everyone would laugh at her and call her a shameless. Gradually, he thought of Chen Kefu again, remembered the strong chest, and wanted to strengthen the deep voice.

These days, in her mind, Yang Guang will be thinking of the bits and pieces of love between the two. But I always think of Chen Kefu unconsciously, thinking about what I looked like when I first met, remembering what I looked like after drinking that day, and even more about that drunk night. There were no lights, no words, just a feeling that I can't forget.

She looked forward to seeing him again, but she also resisted seeing him in fear. She was afraid that when she saw him again, she would reveal the shameful thoughts in her heart. She felt that she had fallen and would have no face to see Yang Guang again in the future. Even once in a dream, she dreamed that Yang Guang scolded her angrily, scolded her for not knowing shame, and scolded her for being a good man.

When she saw those gendarmes breaking into the dormitory just now, she actually had a trace of anticipation in her heart, looking forward to his arrival.

But in the blink of an eye, it was all fear.

Before her husband Yang Guang died, Chen Kefu had never been here. And now that her husband is dead, Chen Kefu came late at night. Do you think that the two of them have no effect? Doesn't he need Gao'er as a puppet anymore? Did he want to usurp the throne and stand on his own feet and replace him? Did he come to kill them or drive them away?

Empress Xiao was suddenly extremely depressed, and said in a relaxed manner, "What is the matter with Qing looking for the palace, can't you come during the day?" ”

Chen Kefu glanced at the palace maids who were being held hostage, and the palace maids were still shaking. The eunuchs on the ground beside them were also trembling, but they were not cold, but afraid.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Yulei immediately asked those military police officers to take those palace maids and eunuchs to another hall. The other gendarmes Si Yulin Army also withdrew from the palace, and Chen Yulei personally stood far away from the palace.

Empress Xiao looked at Chen Kefu's movements like this, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Do you think our mother is hindering you?" Whether it's dove wine or white silk, bring it up. I don't have the face to live in this world anymore, so let's follow the emperor like this. ”

Saying that, two lines of tears slipped through Xiao Hou's eyes, and he suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand tremblingly, holding Chen Kefu's hand and said, "I will kill myself, but Gao'er is only eight years old, and he is still a child who doesn't understand anything." I hope you can spare him, even if you confine him in the palace, I just beg you not to hurt him. ”

"I hope you can look at the love of that night." Empress Xiao suddenly said in a very low voice.

Chen Kefu stood there quietly, listening to Empress Xiao's muffled plea, he didn't know why Empress Xiao was so sensitive, and he actually thought that he was here to force them to death. He sighed in his heart, but shook his head silently.

Empress Xiao's face changed, her heart was as dead as ashes, and her eyes had no brilliance.

She looked at Chen Kefu with a sneer on her face, "Do you want me to pay the price before you agree?" ”

Chen Kefu was silent.

Empress Xiao's face was flushed, but her eyes were very sharp.

"This palace knows, don't you just want my body? If you really want it, take it. But I only need one condition, you have to guarantee that Gao'er, Nanyang, and Izumo will be safe for the rest of their lives. ”

Chen Kefu didn't expect that Empress Xiao would actually think of such a thing. How can I say that Empress Xiao also went up there. To be honest, last time, if it wasn't for drinking, he really wouldn't be Izumo's mother, and secondly, Empress Xiao is still Yang Guang's queen, Yang Gao's mother, if she will go out, it will not be a good thing.

But at this time, it feels completely different, maybe there was once a time, and they all said that there are one and there are two. When he saw Empress Xiao, who had been happy with him all night, mention this, although Chen Kefu was expressionless, he was very excited in his heart. Together with the identity of Empress Xiao, Yang Guang's queen, Yang Gao's queen mother, Izumo's mother, coupled with Empress Xiao's beautiful face and unparalleled temperament, all caused Chen Kefu to be stupid and stupid. For a while, they had forgotten their original purpose, and the ghost nodded his head.
