"Squeak", Fu'an pushed open the door of Zichen Palace and stood aside, Emperor Yuanhe waved his hand after coming in, Fu'an would no longer follow him, only Anfen held an umbrella and guarded the door.

The palace is still the same as it used to be, but people are no longer things.

In addition to the forbidden army guarding outside, only Concubine Lan and her aunt Zhuyu were left in the Zichen Palace, and even the henchman Luo'er was nowhere to be found, probably because the other palace people in the Zichen Palace were sent to work elsewhere.

Concubine Lan has been waiting for the emperor, getting up early every day to get dressed, and she is not willing to rest until night. In just a few days, he has lost a lot of weight, and his plump body in the past now seems to be wearing clothes that don't fit others, and only a trace of sparkle in his eyes is left.

When Emperor Yuanhe pushed the door in, Concubine Lan stood in front of the window and turned around in surprise, as if she was in the old days, which made Emperor Yuanhe have a moment of trance.

"Your Majesty, you're finally here."

In just an instant, Emperor Yuan He came back to his senses and said as usual: "I heard that you have been cold in the past few days, why are you still blowing wind through the window." ”

Zhu Yu came over with red eyes and closed the window, and retreated silently, Lan Guifei had already arrived close and bowed, and smiled at Emperor Yuanhe: "The concubine knows that the emperor will not fail to come to see the concubine." The concubines waited day by day, and finally waited for the emperor. ”

Yuan He Di looked at Lan Guifei silently, and the smile on Lan Guifei's face suddenly became a little more sour.

"The concubines know that the emperor and his strange concubines confuse the royal blood and mess up the royal system.

But there is no way for the concubines, Long'er went, and the queen gave birth to the eldest son, if the concubines can't give birth to a prince again, where is there a place for the concubines in this harem.

It was the concubine Fu Bo, who was in a hurry to conceive a dragon fetus and injured her body, and she has been favored by the emperor for so many years, but she has never been able to get pregnant again, and she has not been able to leave a bloodline for the emperor. ”

Emperor Yuanhe looked at Concubine Lan's haggard face, and said softly for a long time: "Lan'er, in fact, I have always been looking forward to having a princess like you. This harem is my harem, as long as I have a relationship with you, what does it matter? ”

Concubine Lan bit her lip, hatred in her eyes.

"But the affection between the concubine and the emperor can't be exchanged for Long'er, the queen killed the concubine's Long'er, but she was able to give birth to a concubine and canonize the prince, how can the concubine be willing?

It was not enough for the queen to snatch the position of queen from the concubine, and she thought that the identity of the eldest son of Emperor Long'er was in the way, so she was so ruthless and killed the killer. The concubine is Long'er's mother, how can she not avenge him! ”

Emperor Yuanhe took Concubine Lan into his arms and sighed: "Lan'er, I have already told you about this back then, Long'er is not the queen's ......."

Lan Guifei looked resentful, and struggled to interrupt Emperor Yuan He's words: "It must be her, it must be her." Your Majesty, you were deceived by her, so you don't know that it was she who killed Long'er......"

Emperor Yuanhe held the person in his arms strongly, patted her back comfortingly, his voice was not slow, but he was not angry.

"Not the Queen. I know that no one in this world knows better than me that the person who killed Long'er is indeed not the queen. ”

Lan Guifei was still full of resentment at first, but then she seemed to react suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief, her lips trembled, and she almost opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

Emperor Yuanhe let go of Concubine Lan, gently stroked the scattered sideburns back behind her ears, and said lightly: "I have decreed that you will be claustrophobic in Zichen Palace for life, and all clothing and food will still be according to the etiquette of the concubine, and you will not be wronged." It's just that I can't come to see you anymore, you have to take care of yourself. ”

The two of them, who had been in the same bed for more than 20 years, looked at each other, as if they had a thousand words in their hearts, but they didn't know how to say it for a while. After a long time, Concubine Lan said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Long'er is ......"

Emperor Yuanhe closed his eyes in pain, and when he spoke again, his voice was already hoarse, and he said, "It's me who I'm sorry for you and Long'er." ”

This fluttering sentence fell on Lan Guifei's heart, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and her body was also shaky.

Emperor Yuan He didn't want to look at her anymore, turned around and left, stepping out of the threshold with one foot, behind him was the footsteps of Lan Guifei stumbling up, but she stopped at an arm's length.

For a long time, it was Concubine Lan Guifei's dejected murmur: "Let the concubine, let the concubine see the princess again." ”

Emperor Yuan He didn't look back, only said, "Okay." ”

Hearing this, Fu'an walked over with an umbrella and propped it up on the top of Emperor Yuanhe's head, and it turned out that the snow was drifting outside unconsciously after a while. Emperor Yuanhe's footsteps paused, and he ordered: "Let people add two more stoves to the palace of the concubine, don't let her suffer the cold." ”

Fu'an nodded yes, and left Zichen Palace as he spoke.

The forbidden army guarding in front of the door saluted, and after Emperor Yuanhe was gone, he locked the gate of Zichen Palace, and subconsciously looked up at the plaque that the emperor personally raised, and sighed in his heart.

Emperor Yuanhe completely ignored the wind and snow, and walked more and more urgently, leaving behind a group of palace attendants, only Fu'an always followed him unhurriedly and held an umbrella. It wasn't until he was exposed to the cold and knocked twice that Emperor Yuan He slowly stopped his steps.

Fu'an persuaded in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back." ”

Seeing that Emperor Yuanhe didn't answer, he pondered again: "In fact, if the emperor intends to protect it, the crown prince and King An may not be able to hide it." ”

Emperor Yuanhe finally spoke, and said coldly: "I know, but now the situation has changed. Liao Guangtian will eventually become a big trouble, and he must first settle down inside, and he can't drag it out any longer. "Qishu.com

Fu'an knew it, so he didn't say more. Emperor Yuanhe also seemed to suppress the emotions in his heart, turned around and went to the Deshang Palace, and commanded in a low voice: "Let Hongluan enter the palace, I have something to order." ”

Fu'an nodded, and then let people pass the news.

Hongluan Yuan and Emperor He personally selected from the "Night Stalkers" and sent them to Ji Chengyu's side, although his skills were not the most powerful among the Night Stalkers, he was erudite and talented, especially good at finding information.

Since the prince left the palace to build a mansion, and Hongluan settled in the prince's mansion, this is the first time that the emperor has secretly summoned him. Ji Chengyu has been busy recently, and he has always trusted her, and he has not doubted it.

Hongluan got into the carriage from the back alley of the prince's mansion and entered the palace smoothly. When he arrived at Deshang Hall and had a face-to-face with Fu'an, Hongluan couldn't help but smile lightly and asked in a low voice, "How is Senior Brother doing lately?" ”

Fu'an nodded at her and said, "Go in, the emperor is waiting for you inside." ”

His expression was as usual, but there was some pity in his eyes, but Hongluan didn't notice it.

Hongluan entered the hall, Emperor Yuan He looked at her for a moment, and said lightly: "After a few years, now that you have grown up, are you okay with the prince all these years?" ”

Hongluan didn't dare to come out, and replied respectfully: "Everything is fine, thank you for the emperor's memory." ”

Emperor Yuanhe nodded, and asked about the recent situation of the crown prince. Hongluan has her own sense of proportion, and she knows what to say and what not to say, but fortunately, Emperor Yuanhe did not delve into it, and quickly asked her to retreat.

Hongluan finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicable, and went out to explore with Fu'an. Fu'an only said that the recent establishment of the king has caused trouble, the emperor

The mind does not belong, so it is often elusive to act, but it is not necessary to take it to heart.

Before he could do it, he suddenly had a head on his face, and said with an anxious look on his face: "Oh, look at my brain, the emperor asked me to go to Concubine Lan to retrieve something before, but I forgot about it when I was busy." At this time, the emperor wants to approve the folds, and there are no people in it, what can I do? ”

Hongluan rarely saw that this senior brother who had always been thorough also had omissions, and said with a smile: "I think it's because the errand has not been good lately, and the senior brother is also busy." Since you are going to wait for the emperor, why don't you just find someone to pick it up? ”

Fu'an sighed twice, looked at her and said: "This thing is precious, I don't feel at ease to let others go, if you go this for me, even if the senior brother owes you a favor, how about it?" ”

In the past, when she was in the night owl, Fu'an took care of Hongluan, and she naturally wouldn't shirk such a trivial matter, but even if she should go down, she didn't see Fu'an's complicated eyes behind her.

Hongluan took the token given by Fu'an, and the forbidden army naturally let him go, so he went straight into the inner hall without a moment's delay. It was cloudy outside today, and it was not early at this time, and candles were lit early inside.

Hongluan saw that Concubine Lan was sitting on the top, although she was no longer young, she was still gorgeous under the costume, and she was a little embarrassed in her heart. stepped forward and saluted, and said, "The slave maid is ordered by the emperor to come and retrieve the golden jade hall longevity lock." ”

Lan Guifei's trance-like expression was suddenly shocked, and she pinched her fingertips and looked at the woman in front of her fixedly. Hongluan's appearance is really good, but because of his identity, he doesn't dress up much, but he can still see that he is a beautiful embryo.

After a while, I only heard Concubine Lan say in a trembling voice: "You, what's your name?" ”

Hongluan frowned, but still replied: "Slave Hongluan, do things beside His Royal Highness the Prince." Today, I came here for the sake of the emperor's errand, and I asked the concubines not to embarrass each other. ”

Concubine Lan's heart choked, and she was silent for a moment before she said: "This palace has no other intentions, but I just remembered that the real daughter of this palace should be your age, and when I saw you, I thought of her, so I couldn't help but ask more." ”

After a pause, she suddenly pulled out a hairpin on her head and said to Hongluan: "A woman of your age should dress up and dress up herself, this palace sees that you are good-looking, and likes it in my heart, so I will reward you with this hairpin." ”

Seeing Hongluan's hesitation, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and smiled reluctantly: "You put on this hairpin, and the palace will give you something." ”

Hongluan had to step forward, but he was not afraid that Lan Guifei would have any other purpose, and she would not be her opponent in the end. She stepped forward and bowed her head, Lan Guifei's hand holding the hairpin was trembling, and her eyes were staring at the two red moles behind Hongluan's ears.

After a long time, the hairpin flower was finally put on the red luan's hair. Lan Guifei suddenly got up, turned to her and said, "You go and tell the emperor that I lost the longevity lock, and you don't have to look for it anymore." ”

Hongluan wanted to say something more, but saw that Concubine Lan had staggered into the room, so she had to leave inexplicably.

Concubine Lan took out the golden and jade longevity lock from under the secret compartment at the head of the bed, and remembered what she said when she gave birth to Emperor Qianyuan and Emperor He: "No matter whether Lan'er is a prince and princess in her womb, I will love her very much." ”

She smiled sadly and muttered, "It turns out that the emperor has known for a long time, and has known for a long time." If I hadn't known that I was a princess, I wouldn't have been able to give birth safely. ”

She put the longevity lock on her cheek and rubbed it gently, muttering, "It's my mother who is sorry for you." The so-called imperial love is all a mirror, a dream ......"

Hongluan went back to recover his life, so he hurried back. When she returned to the prince's mansion, it was already twilight, and when the lights were on, she reached out and touched the delicate hairpin on her head, and then printed the water surface and straightened her sideburns, and then went to the study.

The master is really busy these days, and he won't go back to the room to rest until the second day. At this time, she had already had dinner, and she went to the kitchen to get a supper, but when she reached the door, she paused again.

In addition to the master, there was also the voice of His Royal Highness King An, who said in a straight voice: "It's really time to hurry up, it's approaching the wedding date, no wonder the royal brother is so anxious." ”

Hongluan's heart sank, and the smile on his lips completely dissipated.
