Chapter 47: Heartache

"The concubine has seen the concubine." Seeing Yuan Ge coming, the woman in Chonghuai's arms immediately got up and made a big salute to Yuan Ge. is different from the tiredness in Yuan Ge's eyes, the beauty in front of him is smiling and smiling, her beautiful eyes are longing, and there is charm between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Get up, don't be afraid of tiring yourself with such a big salute." Yuan Ge heard the man's voice and immediately looked up at Chonghuai, but he was still disappointed after all. The eyes that looked at her in the past are now someone else.

Ruan Meng knelt quietly in front of Yuan Ge, a picture of understanding etiquette and etiquette.

"How? Didn't tire you last night? The man casually glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, at this moment, Yuan Ge didn't even know who he was talking to, his body was still kneeling on the ground, motionless.

"The lord of the country..." Before Yuan Ge could react, the delicate beauty beside him had already stood up, and the tassels on her waist made a subtle collision sound with the twisting of her waist. The beauty's cheeks were flushed, and she returned to Chonghuai's side shyly, and she didn't forget to gently beat the man's chest with her hand.

Sure enough... Yuan Ge's heart was secretly painful, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know what Concubine Jing is smiling?" The man on the stage had been observing Yuan Ge's movements, and when he saw the woman's smile, he was even more upset.

"The lord of the country and Xi's sister Qin Se and Ming, they are good together, the concubine and the lord of the country are one, and they are happy for the lord of the country." For some reason, looking at the intimacy between the two, Yuan Ge was also angry. I saw Yuan Ge take a deep breath, raise his head, and meet those familiar eyes.

The two were only 100 meters apart, but there seemed to be a million distances in their sight.

"Oh? Since Concubine Jing is responsible for managing the six palaces, and she has such a deep sisterhood with Concubine Xi, it is better for Concubine Xi to move to Zhaoyang Palace to live with Concubine Jing from today. Chong Huai looked at Yuan Ge, smiled slightly, and said.

"It's... The lord of the country, the concubine and the concubine live in the same hall, it seems to be unruly... Why don't you ask the queen what she means? Ling An also heard Chonghuai's will, but he didn't dare to give it for a long time, so he had to ask cautiously.

"Why, now that the head of the age even dares to ask about my will?" There was no expression under the deep-locked eyebrows and the face that had been cut by the cold wind like a sharp blade, but the aura was already chilling.

"The minions don't dare." Seeing this, Ling An immediately knelt on the ground.

"The concubine thinks that the idea of the lord of the country is excellent, and the concubine can chat with Sister Jing and do needlework when she is bored on weekdays." Ruan Mengshu moved from the main seat of the first palace to the side hall, but he was still so happy.

"It's still sensible and well-behaved." Chong Huai looked at Ruan Mengshu's well-behaved appearance, showed a satisfied smile, stroked the woman's hair with his right hand, and did not look at Yuan Ge, who was still kneeling in the audience.

Yuan Ge, who had not slept all night, was exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted, and his eyes had already fight, so Yuan Ge had to clench his hands together and beat his spirit with the pain in his palms.

"The lord of the kingdom is well." I don't know how long it took, Ji Ran came over, saluted slightly to Chonghuai, who was flirting with Ruan Mengshu on stage, and then came to Yuan Ge's side and helped Yuan Ge up. Yuan Ge, who finally got up, didn't stand firm for a while, and his body seemed to faint in a trance, but fortunately, Ji Ran grabbed Yuan Ge's waist, and Yuan Ge didn't fall to the ground.

"Thank you, Queen." Yuan Ge frowned slightly, glanced at the man on the stage and did not react, sighed lightly, then looked at Ji Ran, and said with a slight smile.

"What is the Lord of the Kingdom busy in my palace? actually let Ge'er kneel for so long, and still in front of low-ranking concubines, how can you let Ge'er serve the public in the future? Ji Ran helped Yuan Ge to slowly come to Chonghuai, and the right smile appeared on his face, and the clear timbre spread in everyone's ears.

"Concubines... The concubine confessed her guilt, and asked the queen to punish her..."Ruan Mengshu listened, and looked at Chonghuai unconvincedly, Chonghuai didn't say anything in the face of Ji Ran's accusation, Ruan Mengshu could only reluctantly get up and salute and ask for guilt.

"Since Concubine Xi admitted this mistake, she came to Kunning Palace every day at this time to kneel for two hours, often for a month." Ji Ran slowly helped Yuan Ge to the side and sat down, and then he came to Ruan Mengshu, the golden armor was slightly warped, he stretched out his hand to raise the head of the person in front of him, looking at the stubbornness and reluctance in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, put aside Ruan Mengshu's face, paced back to his seat and sat down, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Niangniang, the concubine doesn't know what mistake she made to make you so angry, please make it clear." Ruan Meng saw Ji Ran's unrelenting appearance, and the last trace of disguise faded, and his eyes were all unconvinced.

"Niangniang..."Yuan Ge seemed to get up and explain something, but was pressed down by Ji Ran.

"Since Concubine Xi only got the Jin seal today, I guess I am not very familiar with the etiquette in the palace, I saw that you were at least obedient, and I wanted to let you go, since you are so ignorant of etiquette, then the palace will do the duties of the middle palace and teach you the rules of the harem." Ji Ran said.

"Concubine Jing is above you, and her status is higher than you, not only did you not ask for peace, but you also tempted the lord of the country with this charming pretence, which is a mistake. The middle palace punished, not only did you admit your mistakes and receive the teaching, but also used strong words, didn't you get a night's grace, and you don't know how you climbed up? Ji Ran's light tone seemed to contain everything, revealing a luxurious atmosphere in the coldness, which was pleasing and convincing.

Sure enough, this is the Middle Palace, and this is Shunxi's queen.

"Yes, the concubine knows her mistake." Ruan Mengshu's eyes for help looked at Chonghuai, but where was the man's gaze still on her, Ruan Mengshu's last glimmer of hope was also shattered, so she could only endure the displeasure in her heart and bow her head to admit her mistake.

Under the majesty of everyone present who worshiped Ji Ran, they looked at Ruan Mengshu's eyes with even more disdain, yes, the person who used that method to give birth to the emperor's heir, with a high status, how could he win the respect of everyone.

"Since it is the queen's punishment, then this matter will be settled, let's disperse, I will go to the imperial study first if I still have the court to deal with it." Chong Huai Dao.

"Congratulations to the lord of the country." Yuan Ge, Ji Ran, and Ruan Mengshu said together.

"Since the lord of the country has spoken, then from today onwards, Concubine Xi will go to the gate of Kunning Hall to kneel." As soon as Chong Huai left, Ruan Mengshu got up, and when Ji Ran saw this, he immediately said.

"Yes..."Ruan Mengshu just wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by Ji Ran's order, under the gaze of Ji Ran, Yuan Ge and the maids, Ruan Mengshu could not ride the tiger, so he could only bow his head and reluctantly respond.

"Niangniang, I'm fine, why do you bother for me..."Yuan Ge looked at the appearance of this Ruan Mengshu lost his dog, and finally there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You, if you don't want to, why should you be a thankless person? Look at the dark circles and redness in your eyes, you must not have rested last night. Ji Ran looked at Yuan Ge's gentle gaze, and his words were full of distress.

"Niangniang..."Tears poured out of Yuan Ge's dry eyes instantly, looking at Ji Ran, he also thought of the elder sister at home.

"Does Niangniang know where Lin's belongings were stored after her death?" Yuan Ge was sad, but also thought of the secret room that had almost killed her, and maybe there would be a clue to her going home.

"Lin? Her belongings should still be in the Lanyue Pavilion, why are you asking this? Ji Ran asked puzzled.

"You must have heard that I was looking for a blood-colored pearl, and I heard that the Lin family loves Dongzhu the most when I entered the palace, and there are countless treasures, maybe she will have the Dongzhu I have been looking for." Yuan Ge explained.

"Then I'll send Su Mo'er to find it for you, after all, it's the place where the deceased concubine is, and it's inconvenient for you to go." Ji Ran said intimately.

"Thank you... Sister. Yuan Ge looked at Ji Ran and felt very relieved.

Inside the Zhaoyang Palace.

"Little master, Concubine Xi has finished kneeling, and now she has almost moved into the west side of this Zhaoyang Palace, she is now standing outside the door, saying that she wants to ask the little master for peace, do you need the slave maid to send her?" Mama Zhao saw that Yuan Ge had rested for a while, and she must have had a little spirit, so she stepped forward and asked.

"I'm not feeling well today, I don't see any guests, according to my words, I'll bother Mama to return to her." Yuan Ge just rested for a while before he regained some consciousness, and his heart was exhausted, and he was really unable to face the people in the harem.

"Yes, the old slave returned to Concubine Xi." Mama Zhao listened to Yuan Ge's weak tone, and she was also very distressed, but she felt helpless in her heart.

"Mama, is there any news from the queen?" Yuan Geqiang raised his spirit and asked.

"Niangniang, that's a reply..."Mama Zhao said hesitantly.

"Mama, but it's okay to say." Yuan Ge smiled slightly, showing a reassuring smile to Mama Zhao.

"The queen master said... Miss Mo'er went in person, but she couldn't enter the door of the inner room of the Moon Pavilion..."Mama Zhao said.

Why is that? The Lin family is not..."Yuan Ge was a little puzzled at first, then smiled helplessly, and said, "It must be guarded by the lord's attendants." ”

"The little master is a man who understands." Mama Zhao said.

"What else did the mother order?" Yuan Ge continued to ask.

"The mother said... The lord of the country seemed to know that the little lord would definitely go, and sent someone to leave a word... Mama Zhao's voice gradually blurred, "The lord of the country said, if you want to enter this secret room, tonight, please go to the Moon Pavilion in person." ”

"He wants me to go in person?" Yuan Ge thought of many reasons in his heart, but he never expected that it would be this.

"The lord of the country also emphasized that you can only go alone." Mama Zhao said.

After Mama Zhao left, Yuan Ge was the only one left in the bedroom in an instant, and the empty room was filled with the fragrance of wood sandalwood. Yuan Ge had mixed feelings in his heart, fantasizing about the many possibilities when he saw Chonghuai tonight.

Does he blame her? As for herself, after entering the secret room, can she see the blood beads that can make her go back? If she sees it, what should she do, should she give up everything about this Shun Xi and go back, or... Yuan Ge didn't know.

The time came quietly, and Yuan Ge also changed into a regular clothes that were convenient for movement, and came to the door of Lanyue Pavilion step by step.

Looking at the plaque of Lanyue Pavilion, my heart gave birth to an infinite sense of desolation, the wealth and magnificence of the past have long been gone, replaced by a thick layer of spider webs and dust that has been silent for many years.

The door opened, and the hall was overgrown with grass and the smell of rotting wood everywhere. Yuan Ge couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, lowered his head, and walked forward.

"Collapse!" In the gloom, Yuan Ge was stunned and crashed into the arms of a man, who was no different from her, dressed in a night suit.
