But when the man who heard the footsteps turned around, he was pleasant.

The emperor's face was gloomy, but he also felt tired, so he said:

"Let's go back to your Huaqing Palace."

Yixin nodded, and asked some allusions to Lamei along the way, as well as the real meaning of today's Kong Ming lantern, which made the emperor miss Nalan Lan'er even more.

As soon as he arrived at Huaqing Palace, Yixin took a wash by himself, and the emperor was left alone, leisurely plucking the lamp, but he heard someone whispering outside, listening to the Kong Ming lantern, he felt interesting at the moment, so he quietly walked over, through the gap in the screen, saw two very small palace maids.

It looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, but he is very good, because it is night, so there is nothing to do, and the two are chatting about what happened today.

"You don't know, this Kong Ming lantern is very beautiful!"

"yes, yes, I've been chasing it for a long time! I don't know if this thing is easy to make or not? I really want to do one when I go back and pray for my parents who are far away from home! ”

A little girl with baby fat on her face puffed out her chest.

"You be quiet, the emperor is inside!"

The thinner one admonished.

"Oooh!"

The fatter one hurriedly glanced inside, and found that there was no movement, so he continued to ask:

"But is this Kong Ming lantern easy to do?"

"Of course it's not good! I heard that the former imperial concubine, in order to make this Kong Ming lantern, her fingers were slippery, and isn't it cold in the cold palace? She doesn't have anything to keep warm, and I heard that her hands are frozen into sores! Pathetic! ”

"It's so hard to do!"

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn't listen anymore, he just wanted to hear some news about her, but he didn't expect that the news about her turned out to be so miserable.

But he also knew in his own heart, in the cold palace, in this cold weather, how could Lan'er's thin body withstand it!

The two little palace maids muttered something again, until a sentence broke into his ears:

"Sister, you said that such a loyal and filial person should not be the one who waits, does that, and harms others, right?"

It was the fat baby girl who spoke.

The thinner one seemed to think carefully for a moment, and said:

"I can't tell, but I don't think she's a bad person anyway."

Yes, he also thinks that she is not a bad person!!

But why don't you want to give her a chance to come back!

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly remembered, is this matter to be thoroughly investigated, can the so-called villain take someone else's life?

Also, what is the reason for the slippage of the queen's womb?

A cold wind suddenly set off outside the window, blowing the door of Huaqing Palace rumbling, Ye Wushuang's heart, but pretending to be that woman, thinking about this weather, what kind of scene is there in the cold palace?

Will she be able to hold it?

Thinking of this, Ye Wushuang could no longer hide the feelings of longing in his heart, and rushed straight out.

As soon as he went out, there was a knock on the door of the baby fat palace maid in the room where he was washing, "Niangniang, you can come out, the emperor is gone!" ”

Cold Palace.

The wind is blowing.

The mottled branches of the trees beat the walls of the dilapidated palace vigorously, making a rattling sound like a ghost's cry.

The ethereal cry still permeated the palace.

Nalan Lan'er has been listening to it for a long time.

At this moment, she was lying in front of the window, transcribing something seriously, her face was fair and clean, but her body was a little thinner.

The emperor almost rushed here, and he didn't want to disturb the people guarding the door, so he jumped directly over the wall and jumped in, and a familiar texture instantly appeared.

In his memory, he had been to the cold palace.

It was a spring, and he was playing on the road in the palace all over the house, but suddenly found that there was a brilliant flower in the open palace gate.

At that time, he was still a child, but his awareness of beauty was so sober.

So he pushed away the eunuch and palace maid who was following him, ran in alone, and when he saw that the flower was uprooted, he ran out.

It was a blooming peony flower, swaying in the spring breeze, and the reason why he took her down at that time was to be able to see her beauty every day.

When he returned home, he also cared for him in every possible way.

But I don't know if the soil is not good enough, or if the peony can't bloom if it moves its position, in short, the flower that he once loved so much eventually withered and died.

He cried for days.

Regret why you took it off, isn't it good to leave it there?

You can check it out when you like it.

But I didn't expect that now that time flies, although I am no longer young, I thought that I would not do this kind of stupid thing of rampant transplantation, but at the moment of entering the cold palace, when I saw Nalan Lan'er's pointed chin, beautiful face, and coarse cotton clothes in the swaying lights, I felt a sigh in my heart, and the tears in my eyes actually fell.

Yes, she is not a hollow valley orchid, she didn't want to survive in such a turbid place, she was plucked from the mountains and sent to the palace according to her own wishes, and she was once carefully cared for, but in the end she lost her patience, and she couldn't even protect her.

Even looking back, Ye Wushuang felt that he had personally pushed Nalan Lan'er into such a crying situation.

"Niangniang, go to sleep, don't copy it, he doesn't know."

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard Wan'er in the window rubbing her sleepy eyes with her hands, persuading Nalan Lan'er.

"I don't need him to know, the state affairs are important, and now in this cold palace, I have no time to share with him, so I can do something else."

Nalan Lan'er was always faint, but when she talked about him, there was still a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"!"

Wan'er sighed lightly, just shouting like this.

"Don't call me Niangniang anymore, I'm just a village girl, and I'm a person who treats crimes, how can I call Niangniang!"

"! What nonsense are you talking about! Who doesn't know that it has nothing to do with you! ”

Wan'er pouted, unhappy.

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'll go when I'm done here."

Lan'er smiled and pushed Wan'er away, but Wan'er couldn't slap her palm, "No, I'll accompany my mother!" ”

Unexpectedly, her palm just hit the chilblains on Nalan Lan'er's hand, and the painful Nalan Lan'er suddenly shouted, "Ah~!" ”

A terrible cry of pain.

finally provoked Ye Wushuang's tears to flow.

He looked at her thin and lonely back, the whole person was sad, these days of thoughts have been like a tide, drowning him, if it were not for great restraint, he really wanted to go in like this, and then take her out and take good care of her.

Emotionally, but intellectually, he knew that he couldn't do it.

Not to mention that the queen will not give up, even when he goes to the queen mother, he has no way to protect her.

Thinking of this, he could only leave quietly.

But when he arrived at the palace, he immediately ordered his father-in-law to announce the emperor's edict:

"Nalan Lan'er, the treatment in the cold palace is the same as in the Huayan Palace!"

Overnight, the news spread throughout the palace, and the Queen Mother only raised her eyebrows when she heard the news.

But the queen immediately sat up from the bed, and said coldly in the direction of the cold palace, "What about the treatment of the concubine, this palace will definitely let you continue to stay in the cold palace and stay until death!" ”

The next morning, the door of the cold palace was opened, and this gate, which could only enter and not leave, suddenly resumed the function of the whole department: in and out, very lively.

"! These are all for us! ”

Wan'er's expression was very surprised, these things that were originally only available in the Huaqing Palace have now all moved into the Cold Palace.

Not only that, but the dwarf father-in-law also planned to change the palace for them, saying that he would let his subordinates clean them up.

But Nalan Lan'er said, "Don't bother, father-in-law, it's quite suitable for us to live here." In addition, these things given by the emperor, we only need a few quilts and clothes, and the rest will be arranged by your father-in-law. ”

Nalan Lan'er looked at the room full of things, and couldn't tell what emotions were in her heart.

If it was before, his care and care for him would definitely move him for a long time.

Because he comes from sincerity, she also comes from sincerity.

But now, after yesterday's chanting, Kong Ming lantern and the follow-up events afterward, he was suddenly willing to give these things to her, and the feelings in it were somewhat different.

It wasn't what she wanted.

Of course, it's also something she can't want now.

"Mother, why not!"

Wan'er didn't seem very satisfied.

"Time is not ripe."

Of course, Nalan Lan'er also wants to return to a prosperous life, but the emperor made a decision in the middle of the night, who knows if he will regret it when he wakes up in the morning?

Also, who knows if he will put it away the next day!

Or suddenly give yourself a cup of poisoned wine?

These are all entirely possible.

When she is not fully prepared in her heart, she will not gladly accept his gift.

But it was her self-righteous arrogance that made the emperor furious when he heard it!

"The cold palace is so cold, she only took a quilt, how can it!"

"Only two pieces of that dress? Did you give away everything else? ”

"What?? Change places for her, don't want to go! Is she a fool! ”

When he said this, the emperor's voice suddenly dimmed.

Is she still blaming him?

Blame him for not giving her full protection and a bright future?

Can't she see his efforts?

At this moment, Hong'er from Kunning Palace suddenly came, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, let's go and take a look, the imperial doctor will give the queen a diagnosis and treatment, and the queen will not follow!"

When the emperor heard this, his heart chuckled.

He vaguely remembered that when the accident happened last month, the imperial doctor had said that it would take a month to find out whether it had an impact on the queen's fertility.

If he's not mistaken, it's almost a month.

Anyway, how much he cares about his own heirs in his heart!

Thinking of this, he hurried to Kunning Palace, although he had countless concubines, but there was only one queen, and with Yun Shan's status and talent, at least for the time being, there would be no accidents in the palace, he didn't want to go to great lengths to choose the queen, and then let the ministers fight.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Yun Shan's cry came from inside.

"Why am I so miserable!"

"Where is that slut, I'm going to ask her in person, why is she so vicious!"

"Hurry up and find someone to check, is she stabbing me again?"

Listening to Yun Shan's almost shrewd wail, Ye Wushuang was surprised in his heart, thinking that the woman who was originally so gentle had now become like this, but because of power, she had changed.

A thought popped into his mind:

I don't know what Nalan Lan'er will become if she becomes a queen?
