"But it's good that I have you as a friend now." Luan Yi smiled brightly. "You are my favorite friend, and Brother Niankong is my favorite man, and I have never been happier with you."

I pinched her nose. "You!" But I was a little worried.

Although I don't know what Ling Niankong said to her more than ten days ago, which caused her to be so sad, but now she should have forgotten about it. It's just that if she puts her heart on someone who can't respond to her like this, sooner or later she will get hurt......

"Oh yes, what's in that bottle?" Luan Yi saw the porcelain vase I had placed on the table next to her and asked curiously.

I retracted my thoughts and took the vase in my hand. This porcelain vase contains the fruits of my day's labor.

I smiled mysteriously, poured some of the white milky liquid out of the bottle and put it in the palm of my hand, dripped two drops of water on it, and rubbed my palms together to lather. "Hand out."

Luan Yi didn't know why, but she still did it obediently. I applied the shower gel to her arm. Her eyes widened in amazement. "What is this? So fragrant? Like soaphorn, the foam is much finer than soaphorn. ”

"It's called shower gel. Don't use soaphorn or something in the future, this is more skincare, as for the fragrance, I specially selected a few herbs that can be used as spices. If you like it, I'll give it to you. I handed the bottle to her.

"Oh my God, Xuan'er, is there anything in this world that you won't do?" She asked, following my example and applying the shower gel to herself.

"How can I be so godly? I don't know how to go naturally with a lot of things. She poured the bottle at me, and I agreed, reaching out for her to pour it into my palm, and then began to apply it as well.

It turned out to be a great success with my shower gel. After bathing, not only the whole body is fragrant, but the skin is also smooth and delicate, if it is commonly used, it will definitely brighten the complexion. The original owner's skin is already very good, and if it is maintained like this for a long time, it will definitely be able to raise creamy snow skin. It seems that I will have to make myself a bottle tomorrow.

After taking a bath, he began to do warm moxibustion for Luan Yi. Xu was so tired from worshipping her ancestors during the day that she fell asleep during the treatment. I didn't quarrel with her, and when the treatment was over, I hugged a quilt and went to the soft couch outside for one night.

The next day, I woke up before dawn, but this time it wasn't the voices outside that woke me up, but Luan Yi woke me up.

"Xuan'er, I'm going to Noqili. It's not comfortable to sleep here, you go to bed and sleep! ”

I slept in a daze, and with a "hmm" sound, I fell down on the bed in the inner room with the quilt in my arms.

During the day, I spent the day in the firewood room of the Imperial Doctor's Office, but this time I didn't forget the three meals.

Although the shower gel developed yesterday has a good effect, the aroma is too strong, so I deliberately adjusted it today.

According to yesterday's experience, it was completed quickly today, but I didn't leave in a hurry, but searched carefully for the old medicines in the firewood room, and let me find a few useful medicinal materials. Although these herbs were discarded in the firewood room as old medicines, a closer look reveals that there is no problem with these medicines, and the imperial doctors in the palace are really a waste.

After spending another day in the firewood room, I couldn't help but have some backache. So I thought about going out for a walk.

In the evening, walk all the way to the main entrance of the palace. When you look at the people who come and go in the palace, you know that the ceremony has ended, and everyone has returned.

I thought I might not be able to go to the palace without permission, but I was surprised to find that no one stopped me. I think this palace should be different from the strict entry and exit of the palace, it should be strict in and wide out.

When you leave the palace, you will be greeted by a silvery white mountain range, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, dyed a little red.

I walked slowly up the stone steps to see how Yuqiong Mountain, another mountain in the Fengli Mountains, was different from Lingxiu Mountain.

I heard the palace maid say that Lingxiu Mountain is rich in rare and exotic grasses, and Yuqiong Mountain is excellent in feng shui. However, I don't know Feng Shui, so I don't see anything special about Yuqiong Mountain.

Before you know it, there are no longer just snow-covered plants on both sides of the stone steps, but a stone pillar can be seen at intervals. I took a closer look at a few and found that the stone pillars were engraved with the deeds of the ancestors of the Yue family, and I thought that the imperial tomb should not be far away.

Sure enough, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a platform appeared in front of me. Stepping on the platform, it is a stone memorial arch that catches your eye, and the word "Yueling" is written in the middle of the archway. It seems that this place was indeed the ancestral grave of the Yue family in the past.

Along the way, I met a lot of guards, but Xu was wearing an official uniform and was a weak woman, so I was not stopped by them.

Across the platform is the altar, and beyond that is a large hall, the door of which is open, and servants are cleaning it. The air was filled with the smell of incense, and the smell was a little choking, so I hurried a few steps around the back of the main hall, and by this time it was completely dark.

Behind the main hall is the cemetery, where the ancestors of the Yue family are buried.

Unconsciously walked inward for a while before I realized, I just wanted to go out for a walk, but how did I end up running to someone's ancestral grave at night?

Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I still have respect for the deceased, and I want to return.

Before I could turn around, however, I noticed a man standing about ten paces in front of me, a tall figure that gave me a sense of old age.

By the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that he was wearing an old cyan robe.

I was shocked: this man is the emperor!?

He stood there motionless, looking up at the moon in the sky.

I happened to be standing from a position where I could see his face. His expression was so flickering, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body and flew up to the sky, towards the moon in the sky.

For some reason, I read a strong sense of misanthropy in his expression. He seemed to want to leave everything behind, away from the distractions of the world.

But he's the emperor! The Emperor is the one who cannot escape the distractions of the world. And if he really has a hidden heart, why did he take the throne in the first place?

If you think about it carefully, although I don't know much about Yue Xiongqi, according to what I know, as an emperor, some of his actions are indeed incomprehensible. For example, there are people in the DPRK and China who have colluded with weak countries to leave the north, and they are all important ministers who hold military power. If the throne was replaced by someone else, then he would have sent troops to set foot in the north a long time ago, how could he tolerate Leng Yihan and Cheng Feng's treason again and again?

Yue Xiongqi waved his army north to attack the imperial city directly, and the thunder could not be stopped, and people like him would definitely not tolerate this kind of thing happening, and he didn't take any action?

Don't...... Could it be that he was tired of this throne two years ago, so he had to get by, and he had been struggling to support it all along?

No, he must have gotten tired of it a long time ago. Historically, whenever there was a change of dynasty, the new emperor must do his best to erase the traces of the previous dynasty in order to consolidate the imperial power. But Yue Xiongqi has been on the throne for ten years, but the folk still retain such customs as the Zhaoyuan Festival. You must know that the Zhaoyuan Festival is a special festival for the princes of the previous dynasty, if it weren't for Yue Xiongqi who didn't care, how could he tolerate the existence of such a custom?

So deep down, he doesn't really want to sit in this position at all, right? Because he didn't want to at all, he let the customs of the previous dynasty spread, right? So what did he take the throne for in the first place? What motivated him to sacrifice his wife and eldest son to ascend to the supreme position in which he had no interest in anything?

I shook my head, what does all this have to do with me? The emperor's mind is the most difficult to figure out, so why am I bothering myself here?

I wanted to leave the emperor while he was distracted, but I didn't want him to move at this moment, no longer looking at the moon, but looking ahead. Then he seemed stunned, and then his whole body seemed to tremble uncontrollably. I don't understand. What did he see that would make him react like this!?

I followed his line of sight and saw a man standing in front of the grave in the innermost part of the cemetery, in the middle and left. But because of the distance, I could only vaguely see that it was a man, but I couldn't tell who it was. But the emperor's reaction should have been to recognize the man. Who could that be? Who is sleeping in that grave?

I was still speculating that the Emperor took two steps forward, but stopped with difficulty, as if he had made a great deal of determination to refrain from going any further. He looked at the man inside for a moment before turning around, and with great difficulty, his steps were a little staggering, and he didn't even notice my presence.

I became more and more curious in my heart: a character like Yue Xiongqi, ordinary people and things should not disturb his mind in the slightest, but he was obviously in a state of confusion. Who is the man in the cemetery?

After watching the emperor walk away, I turned around and looked again at the tomb that the emperor had just looked at. The man who had just stood in front of the grave had disappeared. Driven by curiosity, I walked uncontrollably towards the grave.

When I got closer, I realized that this was not a tomb, but two tombs, one large and one small, but the two tombs were very close to each other. Curiously, these two tombs look very different from the other tombs in the cemetery, with no tombs built, only two small burial bags.

I suddenly understood why: these two tombs are well-dressed mounds!

I approached the tombstone to see, and I couldn't help but be surprised again: I saw two tombstones, one high and one low, engraved respectively: "The Tomb of Empress Cizhen Ling" and "The Tomb of the Emperor's Eldest Son Yue Lingkong".

It turned out that this was the tomb of the former queen Ling and her son, and the original emperor's eldest son was named Yue Lingkong......

But how could these two tombs be clothed mounds? The emperor mobilized the people to hold a ceremony like this, but the result was a mound of clothes!?

I remembered that I had heard it from the conversation between Luan Yi and Luan Xi earlier, saying that after Yue Xiongqi waved his army north to attack Shengjing, the Fengli royal family was forced to flee the palace and kidnapped the Ling family and son as hostages. And the Ling family has a strong temperament, in order not to become a burden to Yue Xiongqi, during the captivity, he tricked his son into poisoning the meal. This move not only ended the lives of the Ling family and their son, but also poisoned many people in the Yan royal family......

Looking at the mound in front of me again, I realized in my heart: at that time, the Ling family and his son died in the tent of the Yan royal family, and their bodies should have been disposed of by the Yan family, so Yue Xiongqi had to build a mound for them.

Guessing through this layer, I suddenly felt sad in my heart. No matter what Yue Xiongqi seized the throne in the first place, his move brought him the bones of his wife and children, is it really worth it?

When I came out of the cemetery, my mood was a little heavy, and my body was a little cold. All the way down the mountain back to the palace.
