The autumn breeze is bleak, and there is a chill everywhere.

The palace is even more cold, and everyone in the palace knows that Xia Jingnian has a deep affection for Princess Xiaoyang, but the affectionate person is also very affectionate.

From the red man in front of the emperor to the palace maid who poured the night pot, all of them trembled.

Without Ji Qiang by Xia Jingnian's side, he is like a cold man without a smiling face, since he hit him to the top, he has done it personally in state affairs, and he is decisive and ruthless.

Many old foxes among the courtiers sighed that today's saint was born to be an emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou is here." The father-in-law leaned over to Xia Jingnian's ear and whispered.

Xia Jingnian's hand as he was writing paused, and a sharp flash flashed in his eyes: "Let her in." ”

Zhou Ling'er was waiting outside with a food box, and when she heard that she could enter, her whole face became bright.

She walked into the hall slowly with light steps and a just right smile on her face, and her voice was coquettish and appropriate: "Your Majesty, the concubine personally made glutinous rice dumplings today, and specially sent them to you to taste." "Will

"You've got a heart." Xia Jingnian nodded, he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Ling'er, his expression was a little trance-like, as if he was looking at another person through her.

Zhou Ling'er sounded the previous glance, and there was a grunt in her heart, and she put a piece of glutinous rice ball in her slender hand and brought it to Xia Jingnian: "Your Majesty? ”

"I'll come by myself." Xia Jingnian ignored the glutinous rice balls in front of him, and he looked at his father-in-law.

The father-in-law immediately understood, and said with a smile: "The emperor is used to using bamboo chopsticks, but your pair of golden chopsticks are shining." As he spoke, he handed a pair of bamboo chopsticks to Xia Jingnian.

Xia Jingnian took it and tasted a piece of glutinous rice dumplings, with a blank face.

"What does the emperor think?" Zhou Ling'er only recovered after being embarrassed for a moment, and looked at him expectantly.

Xia Jingnian bowed his head and said lightly: "It's okay." ”

Zhou Ling'er was very happy to get this evaluation, she was overjoyed, and continued next to him: "Thank you for letting the concubines go out of the palace the day before yesterday, the streets of this capital are really prosperous, and the concubines are a little dazzled." ”

"I heard that you sent someone to kick over a girl's stall?" Xia Jingnian had a slight question in his eyes.

Zhou Ling'er's whole face was anxious and overwhelmed, she lowered her head, and she didn't know how to explain.

Xia Jingnian didn't miss her gaffe, his index finger tapped lightly on the table, and his expression was inexplicable: "Say, why." ”

"That girl gave birth to flowers and moons, and the concubine was jealous in her heart, so she did such a foolish thing, and I hope the emperor will not be angry." Zhou Ling'er hurriedly said, she got up and knelt on the ground, sincerely afraid.

"Tell the truth." The emperor was indifferent.

Zhou Ling'er choked, and the palace maid next to her hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, my mother's 2 sentences are true." ”

Xia Jingnian said coldly: "The person who wants to deceive me has not yet been born." If you still protect you, I will punish the nine clans! ”

"Your Majesty." Zhou Ling'er was excited, her head was lowered, and she almost stuck to the ground, and she trembled uncontrollably.

The tremendous oppressive force above made her heart feel like a big stone was piling up, and she finally collapsed, her head pressed against the cold ground.

Xia Jingnian got up and shouted, "Say! ”

"That person looks quite like Princess Xiaoyang." After Zhou Ling'er finished speaking, the whole person fell to the ground.

Xia Jingnian suddenly grabbed Zhou Ling'er's clothes, with a slight tremor all over her body, and her green muscles burst out: "Where is it?" Say! ”

"In the willow alleys of the West City." Zhou Ling'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, blurted out, and after speaking, she showed remorse. Thirty-nine

Xia Jingnian said angrily: "Come on, take Zhou Guifei into the cold palace, no one can release her without my permission!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Linger cried and shouted, lying on the ground, holding on to his trouser legs.

Xia Jingnian drew his sword and pointed at Zhou Ling'er angrily, his voice was restrained and depressed: "If you don't let go, I will kill you!" ”

Zhou Ling'er let go, and she was in great sorrow, watching Xia Jingnian leave.

On this day, there was a big earthquake in the six courtyards of the harem.

The most favored Zhou Guifei actually fell off the altar in one day and lost her previous favor. At the same time that they were shocked that the emperor was ruthless, they began to rejoice again, Zhou Ling'er fell, didn't they just have a chance.

Xia Jingnian, who left the palace, went straight to Xicheng, and happened to meet Ji Yang who returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty." Ji Yang hurriedly got out of the carriage, looked at Xia Jingnian's hurried appearance, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”

"I'm going to find Qiang'er." Xia Jingnian said anxiously, his eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to cross Ji Yang's carriage and go inside.

Ji Yang was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Where did the emperor get the news, don't mishear it, there may be a conspiracy behind it." ”

"Even if it's a trap, I don't want to let go of this only opportunity!" Xia Jingnian said firmly, he got on the horse and crossed Ji Yang directly, whipped and left.

Ji Yang hurriedly followed, and by the way, he also released carrier pigeons to return to the Gongfu and the palace to report the news.

Although Xia Jingnian is in power, there are still many princes eyeing him, if he deliberately uses his sister's letter as a bait to lure Xia Jingnian, this is a big deal.

Xicheng Willow Alley, in a house.

"Sister Fairy, look at what I wrote today." Xiao Ya showed Ji Qiang a piece of paper full of words in his hand, with a look of praise on his face.

Ji Qiang took it and said with a smile: "The writing is extremely good, it seems that Xiaoya's words have grown a lot." ”

"Hehe, it's better to be taught by the fairy sister." Xiaoya was praised and overjoyed, she hummed a little song and prepared to go outside, "I'll go outside to buy a rock sugar gourd and eat it with my sister." ”

Ji Qiang bowed: "Okay, look at it." ”

"Huh." Xiao Ya answered sweetly, and as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw a horse just stopped in front of him, and the person on the horseback was even more handsome, and his whole body was filled with a cold oppressive atmosphere.

She stepped back a little frightened, subconsciously wanting to close the door.

"Qiang'er." Xia Jingnian saw Ji Qiang sitting in the courtyard at a glance, his whole heart was beating extremely hard, and his eyes were also red. If you look closely, his hand holding the reins trembles.

Ji Qiang was about to enter the house to make tea, but suddenly the voice that seemed to be another world sounded in her ears, she stiffened, and looked slowly towards the door.

At this look, the eyes of the two were mixed together, with mixed feelings.

"Sister Fairy, do you know each other?" Xiaoya has been by Mu Sheng's side since she was a child, and she has long had a look of knowing people, and she opened the door in surprise.

Xia Jingnian took three steps and made two steps, hugged Ji Qiang into his arms, and choked up: "Qiang'er, I finally found you." ”

Ji Qiang was uncomfortable, she subconsciously wanted to push him away, but to no avail. She wanted to speak, but she felt the cold liquid on her neck again, and she sighed: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, how can he still have time to come to me." ”

"I've been looking for you." Xia Jingnian hugged Ji Qiang very tightly, eager to rub it into his bones, this lost taste, he didn't want to try it again.

Ji Qiang's heart instantly ached, and it seemed that there were thousands of pillows to pierce her heart, she sighed and broke free from his embrace, and carefully looked at Xia Jingnian.

"You've lost weight."

The two of them said this sentence tacitly, and the atmosphere instantly became a little weird.
