By the time Nangong Ruochen returned to the palace with Zheng Qingyue, it was already late at night, and everything around was quietly shrouded in darkness except for the illuminated candlelight.

Nangong Ruochen hugged Zheng Qingyue and went straight to the bedroom, gently put her on the bed, and reached out to pull the quilt over her.

He didn't get up in a hurry, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping Zheng Qingyue with gentle eyes, with a shallow smile on his handsome face.

After looking at Zheng Qingyue quietly for a while, Nangong Ruochen leaned over, kissed her forehead lovingly, and then got up and went into the bathroom......

Palace:

After dealing with some of the people involved in this rebellion, Emperor Zhuo Nangong Hongzhuo looked tired, lowered his head and supported his head with one hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tonight, the atmosphere in the palace was particularly depressing, and there was a sense of fear of being in the abyss, which was so oppressive that people were almost out of breath.

The huge palace was quiet, and even the patrol team deliberately slowed down, and everyone was trying their best to hide themselves and not dare to make any noise that could attract attention.

Tonight's palace is like being wrapped in a cloud of ice, not only cold but also secretly surging.

Looking at Emperor Zhuo, who was heroic and majestic on weekdays, he actually saw a sense of loneliness in him at this time, and the emperor of a dignified country actually gave birth to a sense of loneliness so obviously.

How much pain and things had to be gone through for a proud and heroic emperor to look so withdrawn.

Gonggong Bai, the chief steward who had been guarding the side, looked at Emperor Zhuo who was so sad, sighed and shook his head as sad as him.

He has been by Emperor Zhuo's side since he entered the palace since he was a child, watching him go from the crown prince to the emperor, and the relationship between the two of them is both a master and a servant and a friend.

I don't know why the Nangong royal family has been thin in recent generations, and it is directly extinct in Emperor Zhuo's generation, in fact, Emperor Zhuo's life is quite tiring.

He is the only one in the Nangong royal family in his generation, and others may think that he will live a very wanton life in this way, because no one competes with him for the throne.

But no one would have thought that it was precisely because of this that he was more tired and had to be cautious, because all the pressure was on him.

He is the only prince in the royal family, and he has to learn a lot of things since he was a child, such as poetry and songs, horseback riding and archery, etc., and he has been cultivated as a future emperor since he was a child.

The whole day's itinerary is full, and there is almost no chance to play, let alone a happy childhood.

Because although there are no other princes to compete with him, it doesn't mean that there are no other people competing with him, and how many pairs of eyes are coveting that position behind him.

finally sat on the throne, but he has been worrying all day long because he has no heirs.

He was a good emperor, and during his reign the Ling nation was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

He knew that there were many people behind him who couldn't wait for a long time and wanted to replace him, but this was the country of the Nangong royal family, and he would never let others take it away like this.

After knowing that he could not have an heir, Nangong Hongzhuo has been looking for other descendants of the Nangong royal family, especially the lineage that has been lost in the Nangong royal family.

Because of the appearance of Nangong Ruochen and others, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and he would be able to give an explanation to the ancestors of the Nangong royal family in the future.
