It has been two days since Concubine Xiang left the palace, and Yin Chen has never cared much about her, which is why she can come out without scruples. In the past two days, Zhao Li gave the exact address, and after ten years, Concubine Xiang didn't dare to think about what kind of scene she saw Gu Chip for the first time.

"Master, according to the farmer's wishes, the one that smokes from the hill is the childe's residence."

Concubine Xiang looked at it, and sure enough, there was a farmer on a small hill in the mountains, and she looked at the cooking smoke from a distance, which did not conform to Gu Chip's stable and elegant temperament. Concubine Xiang couldn't imagine what it was like for someone who had been holding a sword to cook on weekdays, not to mention that Gu Chip's eyes were still invisible at this time.

"Master, aren't we going over?" Seeing that Concubine Xiang didn't move her body for a while, the sound of the piano was a little unclear, so, isn't this what Concubine Xiang has been looking forward to, why didn't she dare to step forward when she arrived.

The horse under the crotch also seemed to be a little impatient and stamped her feet, and Concubine Xiang's palms were full of sweat, and she couldn't stop beating drums in her heart.

This is not the first time she has found the so-called Gu Chip's address, I remember that it was the same last time, and I hurried over but saw the peasant girl in the courtyard doing work, and for a while, Concubine Xiang was a little annoyed, why didn't she ask her eldest brother Gu Chip now has a family.

"What if he has a wife and a child......

"Master, even if Gu Gongzi doesn't have a wife, you are already the imperial concubine of Daqi."

In the final analysis, even if Lang has a concubine, what can she do, Zhao Luo is already Yin Chen's concubine, and how can she be worthy of this moonlight in the world.

Concubine Xiang often exhaled and then sniffed out very unnaturally, as if she had done a lot of backbone before she said slowly: "Go up the mountain." ”

Li Shenlan just had dinner, tonight's dishes are made by the imperial dining room and the small kitchen, the taste is rare and good, but now no matter how good the dishes are, they are tasteless when they enter Li Shenlan's stomach. Harvest autumn as usual to go to the ear room to prepare hot water for bathing, if there was still Concubine Xiang by her side at this time to occasionally chat a few words or play chess, there is always some smoke smell.

The wind was blowing stronger and stronger outside, and it had just rained a little before, so it was called an autumn rain and a cold, Li Shenlan wrapped the blanket on her body again, and her heart was a little cold.

When Li Mingyue killed the second elder in front of him, he almost did not hesitate to take revenge, and he still remembers the tragic situation of Li Mingyue before his death. At that time, all he thought in his heart was that he only wanted to kill to pay for his life, even if those foul-smelling rats crawled over his skirt, he was not moved. When hatred blinds us, it is often the time when people are most irrational. What about Yin Chen?

If he hadn't taken precautions at the beginning, then Li Mingyue wouldn't have had a chance to do it, and Qin Ye would definitely have dealt with her before she could do it. But because of Yin Chen's acquiescence, the second elder died suddenly, and Song's mother's hand was cut off and sent alive. Thinking of this, Li Shenlan saw the severed hand in the brocade box in front of her eyes. Suddenly, Li Shenlan remembered what Li Yunshan said and what he discovered, Yin Chen knew very early on that he had correspondence with Li Yunshan, and it was because of this that Hou Zhong arrested himself in the name of a fake family letter when Li Yunshan rebelled.

In other words, Yin Chen knows the content of the letter.

And that severed hand was sent together with the family letter that time, does it mean that Yin Chen also saw that hand and then deliberately acquiesced to let people send it to him.

Thinking of this, everything seems to have been sorted out clearly, Yin Chen knew Li Mingyue's plan and did not stop it, and even acquiesced to seeing it, and after entering the palace, he knew his own heart best, so he naturally knew that he would not give up easily, and he would definitely kill Li Mingyue to pay for his life. And he was not born to Li Yunshan, and Li Yunshan's only daughter Li Mingyue was also eliminated by himself, which in a sense made Li Yunshan's power in the harem untenable.

The so-called killing two birds with one stone is nothing more than that.

The moonlight outside the house spilled in, making the already not bright room even colder, Li Shenlan looked at the frosty moonlight on the ground, and her heart was cold. Many things may be beautiful if they are kept in the dark for a lifetime, but such things are often the least able to withstand scrutiny.

……

The courtyard at the top of the hill is very large, and there is such a family around it. Far away, before she arrived, Concubine Xiang heard the crisp collision sound of the people in the house stir-frying with the spatula, and the cooking smoke could always add a little human touch to the originally lonely and indifferent mountain forest.

There was only a wooden fence at the gate of the courtyard, Qin Yin shouted outside the courtyard for a long time, but the people in the house could only hear the sound of the spatula and never responded, but Concubine Xiang pushed open the fence and walked in a little impolitely.

"Is there anyone in the house?" Walking to the door of the room, Concubine Xiang shouted again, it is also strange to say, Gu Chip's martial arts ear power since he was a child is naturally more than ten times better than others, and I don't know why Concubine Xiang didn't even hear a few calls from the people in the house, such an abnormality even made Concubine Xiang start to think about whether this is where Gu Chip lives.

"Master, it's cold outside, why don't we go in first, and the left and right doors are not locked."

"It's rude to come uninvited, and it's unseemly to go in without permission." Concubine Xiang was not in a hurry, just stood at the door and waited. I've been waiting for about ten years, and I still care if I can't make such a dish?

After touching the time of half the incense, the sound of stir-frying in the house finally stopped, Concubine Xiang cheered up and called again, and finally a response came from the room after half a sound.

"You shouldn't have come here."

The voice of the man in the room Concubine Xiang is very familiar, such a voice has been rummaging in her mind for so many years, but now this timbre is a little more hoarse than before, like the traces left on the owner of this voice over the years.

"I ...... You...... Brother Gu Chou, can you let me in first, it's cold outside. ”

Concubine Xiang, who has always been shrewd and capable, spoke incoherently after hearing the voice in the house, and she was obviously trembling in her tone. Not to mention the voice, Concubine Xiang's whole body is trembling now, this is really not the chill blown by the wind but the excitement and expectation in her heart, the dream of many years is finally in front of her eyes.

Concubine Xiang's words fell for a long time before the voice in the room sounded again, "Come in." ”

Pushing the door in, the body instinctively followed the voice of memory, and when the familiar and unfamiliar figure smashed into Concubine Xiang's eyes, her vision was blurred by tears in an instant. Concubine Xiang wanted to rush over and hug the man, but her feet stood in place as if she had no bones, and she wanted to open her mouth to call his name, but she stammered as if she had a dumb voice, and for a while she was crying silently, and it was more difficult to breathe than usual.

The man in front of him stood there in a green coat with a slight frown, and his black hair was casually curled on the top of his head, which added a bit of uninhibited sassy and heroic posture. The cold moonlight sprinkled evenly on the man through the window, and under the decoration of a black belt in front of his eyes, the whole person looked a little cold as frost.

It's just that no matter how cold the image is, in the eyes of Concubine Xiang at this time, he is the person who has been thinking about it for a long time and can't reach it, just like a god, so suddenly returning to his own world, clean and not contaminated with a trace of dust.

"You shouldn't be here."

The man's distant and cold voice sounded again, interrupting all the beauty that Concubine Xiang had imagined in her heart at the moment.

"Then where am I supposed to guard the huge palace in the palace and think about you as if I was in a ghost?"

"You are the emperor's concubine, so naturally you should enjoy the glory in the palace."

"What's the matter with your eyes?"

Concubine Xiang blocked Gu Chip's words, and Wu Zi stepped forward and began to care about Gu Chip's body, but she took a step forward and Gu Chip took a step back, and finally simply turned around and went to the kitchen to let Concubine Xiang chase behind. Just like ten years ago, Zhao Luo followed Gu Chip like this, so he didn't care about Gu Chip.

"Brother Gu Choi, what's going on with your eyes?"

The left and right cheeky people are used to it, so Concubine Xiang followed her into the kitchen regardless of whether she went back or not.

"The Major General should have told you already." Xu was impatient to be asked by Concubine Xiang, and Gu Chip picked up the cooked dishes and returned lightly.

"But I'd like to hear you tell me personally."

"Concubine Xiangniang, I have emphasized many times, you should not appear here but be a good mother in the palace."

Gu Chip's voice was still extremely distant, and even the extra boredom in this sentence was very obvious. Just one sentence made Concubine Xiang couldn't help but redden, and even choked up with her voice.

"Are you blaming me......"

"I didn't." Gu Chip's body stiffened as far as he knew.

"You have it!" Concubine Xiang shouted: "In the past, you called me Ah Luo, but now you call me Concubine Xiangniang." For so many years, I have survived by relying on the last meeting of ten years ago in the palace alone, but in exchange for you being so alienated and indifferent. I know you're blaming me, if I had insisted on it a little longer, I wouldn't have entered the palace, and we wouldn't have ended up like this......"

Gu Chip kept his back to Concubine Xiang, listening to the woman's voice, he choked so badly that he instinctively turned sideways. It's just that his eyes have long been out of sight, and he can only use his ears to see the desolation between the woman's words. In fact, he really never blamed Zhao Luo, the relationship has always been a matter of two people, he is blaming himself and hiding from Zhao Luo.

Before entering the palace, Zhao Luo had looked for herself, and at that time, she was an unfamiliar girl who wrapped her luggage and stood in front of her with all the courage of her life, telling herself that she had decided to elope. But Gu Chip didn't dare to bet, he didn't dare to think about what the Zhao family would end up with after he really took her away, and he didn't dare to live up to General Zhao's expectations for him.

Therefore, refusal is a doomed ending early on.

"You go back...... Arlo. ”

This is not the place you should come, from the moment he decided to give up, Zhao Luo was destined to be the concubine Xiang in the palace.

……

The Lilan Hall has not been lit up for a long time, and everyone seems to have long been accustomed to the fact that Li Shenlan rested early. Li Shenlan doesn't have so many rules, and she doesn't even let her stay in front of the bed on weekdays, saying that she is only used to staying alone in the house.

It's the same on this day, Li Shenlan went to bed early, and followed Zangdong to the courtyard with Xiaoshunzi to push pai gow with Xiaoshunzi in the autumn. It is said that the palace people in other palaces are envious of the subordinates of Lilan Palace, who have not many errands and have free time to play every night.

The palace people in the courtyard were having fun, and the door was knocked heavily, and Hou Zhong's shrill singing harmony came from outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!" The palace people of the Lilan Hall came to open the door. ”

Shu Qiu's face changed and he looked at Zangdong in a little panic, and Xiao Shunzi got up and opened the door as soon as he was in a hurry.

"The slave greets the emperor."

All the minions knelt in a row and no one dared to look up at Yin Chen, and everyone obviously felt the emperor's low pressure, after all, it has always been nothing good to let the emperor come over after nightfall without turning over the cards.

"What about your master?"

"Back to the emperor, Niangniang has slept relatively early for a while, and now she has fallen asleep after taking a bath."

Yin Chen ignored Harvest Autumn and strode into the main hall with a meteor, and then Harvest Autumn just wanted to follow up to serve but was stopped by Hou Zhong, and then all the minions were driven back to the house by Hou Zhong.

In fact, Li Shenlan had already woken up when Hou Zhong called the door, but she was lazy and didn't know how to face Yin Chen, so she simply turned over and continued to pretend to be asleep, thinking that Yin Chen would not wake herself up again when she saw that she was asleep. It's just that she didn't expect Yin Chen to come with anger, and when she saw Li Shenlan pretending to be asleep on the bed, she stepped forward and sat on the side and began to take off her boots by herself.

Yin Chen's movement was very loud, and he got up in the middle and poured a glass of water to make a lot of noise, Li Shenlan knew that she couldn't pretend to be able to do it, so she had to sit up and pretend to be woken up by him.

"Why did the emperor come over at this point, the concubines have already rested."

Li Shenlan looked at the person in front of him who was once deeply loved by him and thought that he was a fateful beloved, and then thought of the things he did behind his back, and the sourness in his eyes was slightly bitter, and his heart hurt.

"I'm here, you're not happy."

Yin Chen used an affirmative tone, but it was extremely harsh when it fell on Li Shenlan's ears. But one is a gentleman and the other is a minister, no matter how much grievances and resentment Li Shenlan has in his heart, he can't show it on his face.

"It is naturally good for the emperor to accompany the concubines, and the concubines are overjoyed." Li Shenlan said that she was overjoyed, but there was no joy on her face, and even her body instinctively vacated Yin Chen's space and shrank herself in a small corner of the bed.

The two of them just seemed to be lying on the bed calmly, as if they were two strangers who didn't know each other, and there was obviously nothing between the mattresses, but it seemed that they couldn't go back from thousands of rivers and mountains.

"Where have you been today?"

Li Shenlan closed her eyes and didn't feel like she was going back to him, but she still returned calmly: "Death row outside the palace." ”

"What are you going to do there?"

Yin Chen's voice was very cold, but it contained anger, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it, and Li Shenlan could naturally hear it.
