After a few glances, he couldn't escape Jiang Yao's attention, he drank a glass of wine, the body of the glass covered his lips, and the voice was said to me, and others didn't know.

"The Empress seems to be interested in my brother."

I didn't dare to answer this, pretending not to hear it and looking down at the contents of the cup in front of me, Jiang Yao didn't let me go because of my concession, but chuckled lightly and said: "Also, I heard that he was a guest at the Chengguo Mansion when he was a teenager and saved the young lady who fell into the water in the mansion. ”

No way! Keep calm!

I suppressed the surging concern in my heart, and pretended to be innocent that I didn't understand, in fact, I didn't know if it looked like it, but Jiang Yao didn't continue to attack me, at least this reaction wouldn't make him very annoying.

Jiang Xian has not recovered because of my serious illness? What disease did he have, and since he was a royal noble, why hadn't he been cured yet? I fell into the water longer than him, why didn't he have such a big reaction, could it be that he was already in poor health, because he saved me to make it worse, and ended up like this?

If he was good, wouldn't his eyes be so cold? Why is he so lonely, that indifferent to the outside world?

I couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't ask for help, and the guilt in my heart became more and more unbearable, and I didn't get a good night's sleep for several days.

But it's just that I did these worries unilaterally, Jiang Xian didn't care about me at all, whether it was the girl he saved back then, or the queen who sat on the highest throne now, there was no difference from him.

I just feel sorry, anyone who sacrifices for my life, I feel sorry, I don't like to owe others favors, but I've stumbled all the way to the present, and the favors on my body have long been repaid.

When Jiang Yao came to my palace with a large number of recitals, I was crooked to one side, and when he saw that I was tired, he naturally didn't have a good face, and sneered: "What's wrong with the queen recently, since the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, it seems that she has something on her mind and can't say it for a while." ”

"The emperor is delicate, but our mother is the person who doesn't take things to heart, probably because she has been in the palace for a long time and is homesick." Changyun served a cup of tea and relieved me of the current siege in a few words.

"Not really, what if she's pretending?" Jiang Yao bluntly revealed the suspicion and scrutiny in his eyes, and looked at me, with a hint of banter in the corners of his sharp eyes.

"When the fake is true, it is also false, and when it is true, it is true that it is false, and the public marquis may not have unspeakable hardships, if you can pretend to be true for a lifetime, what is true or false?"

There were words in Changyun's words, which made Jiang Yao and I not know how to answer for a while, no, to be precise, it just made me not know how to answer. Changyun looked at Jiang Yao, a wise elder was quite worried about the expression of this extremely young descendant in front of him, and the tolerance and calmness in his eyes made the fierceness in Jiang Yao's eyes dim, and there was a bit of loss that I couldn't understand.

"I see." Jiang Yao has a lot of respect for Changyun, and her words are somewhat more effective than others.

When the first emperor was in power, Changyun had already arrived in the palace as a female official, and the concubine she served was also a virtuous and respected concubine, this concubine was not an ordinary person, not to mention her family background, just because she was the adoptive mother of the first emperor was enough to make everyone respect her.

The concubine was sealed after the death of the queen at that time, and the harem had no owner, and the concubine had always been in charge of the harem affairs, but no one stood up to oppose the concubine's monopoly of power, because the concubine was modest, and she respected the queen very much, and was sympathetic to the concubines, and was famous for her virtue in the palace.

Changyun entered the palace after the first emperor ascended the throne, although he was not very old, he became the concubine's right-hand man, and his ears and eyes were touched with some peace. After the concubine passed away, because of her deep qualifications and the trust of the concubine, she started a female history in the palace. Changyun has a pure temperament and is upright, even without the backer of the old lady, she is also very prestigious, and usually even the queen mother has to give her some face.

This is what I learned later, after getting to know Changyun a little, her attitude towards me and Jiang Yao gradually became cloudy, and there was no need to explain many things.

Jiang Yao brought as many folds as last time, but he read it quickly, and he had already corrected it before it was bedtime.

I didn't dare to disturb him, listening to Changyun's arrangement, sitting upright in a place not far from him, but by no means close, he didn't look up, and naturally he didn't notice me.

Jiang Yao seemed to be very tired, the tiredness of his eyebrows and eyes was very deep, and the hand supporting his head pinched the corners of his eyes, as if he could still hear his tired sigh.

His hand supported his forehead, and he didn't put it down, as if he was planning to fall asleep like this, I glanced at the little eunuch next to him, and the little eunuch didn't seem to know what to do, and tiptoed over to ask Changyun.

Changyun put a velvet blanket in my hand, I pointed at myself in disbelief, Changyun nodded noncommittally, not allowing me to refuse.

Okay, isn't it just to cover a quilt, a piece of meat won't fall off horizontally and vertically, but if Jiang Yao wakes up, or doesn't fall asleep at all, it's a little embarrassing, usually so fierce to me, I still have a hot face to paste, don't dislike me more!

I gently covered Jiang Yao with the blanket, Jiang Yao's eyelids moved, my heart also jumped, the movements in my hands suddenly froze, and even my breath was held together.

Fortunately, it was only a beat, and there was no other reaction, and it was the first time I was so close to him, so I couldn't help but look at it twice. Jiang Yao is actually very good-looking, and he is sharp at the corners of his eyes, but he is also a young man who still looks like a teenager, his eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and his eyelashes are so perfect even in curvature.

I got up and was about to leave, but a voice sounded behind me, I couldn't really hear it, I went back to see, Jiang Yao was still the same as just now, and the voice couldn't be found.

The wind was blowing, from the unclosed window to here, the lights of the hall were swaying together, and our shadows were trembling in the wind, and I shivered, it was cold, and there must be a layer of frost outside on a cloudy morning.

"Hey—hey——!"

I pushed Jiang Yao twice, Jiang Yao suddenly opened his eyes, as if he was awakened, the coldness and defensiveness in his eyes were like a lone wolf walking in the dark night, fortunately, such eyes were only fleeting, and then replaced by an impatient look.

"Get out!"

The words "out" were originally very neutral, but Jiang Yao said the meaning and momentum of "get out", I should have been very familiar with the "roll" of current affairs, but since I woke up, how could I give up halfway?

"Are you sleepy, do you want to sleep?"

This sentence has no other meaning, just simply ask him if he wants to sleep, and then I will naturally give him my bed, I will go to sleep on the small bed in the side hall, Changyun will also praise my action, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

But Jiang Yao was wrong, coldly shook off my hand that was pushing him, and said, "This is not for the queen to worry about." ”

As he spoke, he casually picked up the fold that had already been corrected, and the traces of his correction with red cinnabar on it were very faint.

"I'm afraid you've got a cold......"

"The queen cares, and I am very grateful." There was no half gratitude in his words, but he was full of disgust.

"It's going to be contagious to ......me," I continued, telling him what I hadn't finished.

He looked at me a little speechless, I looked at him seriously, nodded, and said, "My third sister had a cold and infected me before, and she took a lot of medicine to get better." ”

He wanted to say something, it was certainly not a good thing anyway, but he didn't have a chance to say it, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was disgraced by a sudden sneezing.

I said, "Look, I'll say, you still don't believe me!" Looking at Jiang Yao with an expression, Jiang Yao wrapped the blanket on his body and asked the little eunuch on the side to add a stove to him.

Amitabha, it's only been a few months, and I'm afraid that the eunuchs in the chamberlain haven't had time to clean it out, and they will embarrass the people around them at this time.

"Do you think my bed is too small?" I sighed silently in my heart and said, "There is still a bed in the side hall, I can go there to sleep." ”

"No need." He got up and walked towards the side hall.

Jiang Yao still got up very early, and I was also called up by Changyun after he left to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother would reward me with something every time she saw me, nothing more than some exquisite food or objects, but this time it was special, and I was rewarded with a bowl of soup and medicine.

"There are not many concubines in the harem, and none of them have children, so the queen should open up branches for the emperor as soon as possible."

I haven't held my hand, and I can have a child with these fetal pills? Although I wanted to complain, I still held back, and drank the bowl of bitter decoction in the loving smile of the Queen Mother.

This medicine looks like it is black and bad, it looks bitter, and it tastes sweet and sour, and it has a different taste. I smacked my lips and glanced at the residue at the bottom of the bowl with a slight aftertaste, but I couldn't tell what the ingredients were.

"The mourning family asked people to write a recipe, Changyun, you have to remember, every time the emperor leaves, give the queen a bowl to drink."

"Yes." Changyun quietly accepted the prescription.

If you don't sit on the fetus, the taste is actually good, and it's not bad to use it as a snack for me to relieve my cravings.

But I don't know when this prescription changed its taste, and there was a hint of imperceptible fragrance in the original sweetness and sourness. I tasted it carefully for a long time before I could tell that one of the herbs inside had been replaced with saffron, which invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis.

Only the people around the Queen Mother and the people around me know about me taking fetal pills, and naturally there will be no problems on the Queen Mother's side, that is, the people on my side have done something.

It's a pity that such a good method is useless at all, for me, there is no difference between sitting and abortion, and I will not really conceive Jiang Yao's child. I'm just a little curious, who is trying to harm me?

Supposedly, Suko is the most likely, but from an emotional point of view, the first thing I ruled out was her. Su Ko's kindness to me is not unfounded, and I have guessed a rough idea in getting along these days, which should be related to my appearance.

Su Ko actually knew that it was me who was the person with the heavy oil paint painted that day and broke in with Fenghua Pavilion, and those words were deliberately said to Jiang Yao, she just seemed to want me to stay by my side.

I have nothing to do with her, and secondly, I have no relationship with her, and the only reason I can think of is my looks.

She should have seen me unpainted at other times, but I didn't notice her, or I looked very similar to someone very important in her memory, and in any case, this affection must have something to do with my appearance.
