late at night

A courtyard in the harem

A man stands at a table with candles lit.

He twisted the rose petals on the table with one hand, his expression was faint, as if he was virtual and real, like the person in the painting.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and his cold and vicious gaze swept to one place.

Crushed the petals in his hand fiercely, and his voice was cold: "Why did you poison her, did I allow you to do this?!" ”

In the shadows stood a woman in black, who looked at him indifferently.

"The matter she investigated has endangered the interests of the master and must be eliminated."

The man sneered, his expression cold: "I didn't cooperate with your master to let her die. ”

"In that case, Yue Guijun had better persuade her, otherwise she will die sooner or later."

After speaking, the woman in black took up the light work, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the moonlight.

Yueyan clenched her hands into fists, lowered her head, and looked obscure.

Suddenly, he swept over the things on the table, and the bottles and cans on the table were instantly thrown to the ground, making a loud noise, and the contents were scattered all over the ground.

Yueyan didn't move, indifferently watching the liquid in the jar flow out little by little.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Lord?! Your Majesty?!! ”

"Could it be that something happened?"

Yueyan bent down and picked them up one by one: "It's okay, it's just that a few mice ran over and were startled." ”

——

Towards night, Yejiu returned to the palace.

As soon as he returned to his bedroom, the red-clothed Beigong priest walked in.

He walked over and hugged Ye Jiu, lowered his head and rubbed her neck, smiling charmingly: "Wife, I said a good reward during the day." ”

Ye Jiu's eyebrows jumped.

She really suspected that this guy had been thinking about this all day.

"I've just come back, you let me rest for a while." Ye Jiu looked serious.

Beigong raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth to hold her small earlobe: "Don't worry, my wife is resting, I'll just move." ”

Ye Jiu snorted, and his body gradually softened.

Beigong Sai picked her up and walked to the bedside.

——

"Indulged" all night, someone's face was red early in the morning, but looking at Yejiu, he was depressed.

Yejiu sat in the carriage and yawned tiredly.

I want to sleep.

But there was no way, the empress's affairs had not been resolved, so she had to go to the palace with her tired body.

Ye Jiu couldn't help but complain a little about the Beigong Festival.

I said that I should be lighter, and I have to get up early tomorrow, and someone promised well, but it was not light at all.

Ye Jiu sighed.

"Lord Wang, it's here."

The guards outside reminded Yejiu.

Ye Jiu cheered up, got out of the carriage, and walked unhindered to the empress's bedroom.

Jiang Xing clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Wang." ”

Ye Jiu nodded: "How is it, is the empress awake?" ”

"The empress has woken up, and as soon as your prince left yesterday, some people came to inquire about the news, but his subordinates stopped them."

Yejiu: "Very well done. ”

"It's a subordinate duty."

Ye Jiu crossed Jiang Xing and walked in.

The empress, who was leaning on the side of the bed, saw Ye Jiu walking in and smiled at her: "Jiu'er is here." ”

Ye Jiu walked over and looked at the Empress: "Empress, how do you feel?" ”

The empress's face was a little pale, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "It's okay, I want to thank Jiu'er more this time." ”

Seeing that the empress was just a little weak, Ye Jiu relieved her heart.

"You're really scaring me this time. Dare to ask, what are you looking for, Empress? ”
