♂? ，，

"Where do slaves dare to provoke."

Jiao Tao hurriedly rubbed behind Ye Ruoxi, staring at the fifth child with palpitations: "Niangniang, who is the fifth child?" ”

"The ruler of my side must obey his commands in the future, and shall not be rude and offend, and he is not a person who can offend."

"The old guy's kung fu is so high, I can't even see his hands clearly, it's a pity that such a high level of kung fu is suspicious."

The fifth child's eye knife stabbed Jiao Tao sharply.

"Old Five, come here, Jiao Tao go and meet the manager, this is Jiao Tao, my personal maid, he is very good at light skills and kung fu, what can I tell him to do in the future."

"Yes, sissy."

Lao Wu walked over, his eyes were firmly fixed on Jiao Tao's neck, the feeling in his palm just now, the neck of this charming and moving woman, seemed to be a little wrong.

Look at the beauty under the lamp, at this moment under the light, Jiao Tao is tender and tender, and her delicate face has Chu Chu who was frightened by the fifth child just now, her eyes are flashing like spring water, and she bowed her head and took two steps forward to bow to the old five.

"The slave and maid knocked to see the chief steward, please forgive the chief steward, just now the slave and maid did not know the identity of the chief steward and offended a lot, please forgive the chief steward."

"Get up."

Lao Wu said repeatedly, maybe it's just an illusion, no matter how you look at this person, she is a seductive woman, and it can't be a man. What's more, Niangniang is not a person without depth, and it is impossible for a man to disguise himself as a woman to stay by her side.

"In the future, please give me a lot of advice."

Jiao Tao cautiously looked at Lao Wu's face, this person, he can't afford to offend.

Whoever stretches out his hand to kill him, he'd better be respectful and careful.

Lao Wu glanced at Jiao Tao a few times, but did not notice the problem, his eyes fell on the body of Concubine Ming again, and he ordered someone to put down the body of Concubine Ming and arrange everything.

"Niangniang, please go back, when the slave comes out, the emperor is still waiting for you to go back."

"Tomorrow night, someone will die, right?"

Ye Ruoxi shook his head, the remaining concubines, who is the next person to be killed? What is the purpose and motivation behind these things?

In the darkness, the huge forbidden palace and countless palaces stood quietly in the darkness, like monsters lurking in the darkness, intending to choose people to devour.

The cold moonlight is like frost, enveloping the palace, how many people have been swallowed here? How many lives were buried?

The mournful lamentation and low crying, faintly drifting in the dark night wind, like a cry, is it the sigh and cry of the ghost, or the palace maid and slave, or the desperate cry of the concubines?

Those women who were sent to the Feather Palace and the Pure Industry Palace, no longer have the prosperity and honor of the past, and they can't even take a step out of the palace gate, they have been in their youth for many years, are they so old, no one cares? In the second half of their lives and beyond, their blooming beauty was not appreciated

, lonely and lonely in old age.

Ye Ruoxi sighed slightly, it was difficult for her to change anything, maybe the only thing she could do was to let those concubines who had children reunite with their children often to comfort their lonely hearts.

Those concubines who have no children are all the women of the first emperor, and they can only stay in the forbidden palace for the rest of their lives.

The rules of the Tanglin Kingdom, the rules of the royal family, have been passed down for thousands of years, this is the ancient times of another world, Ye Ruoxi is powerless to change anything, she is just a little woman here, there are too few things that can be changed, she doesn't want to challenge the authority of the royal family, the consequences are bound to be a failure, and she can't bear it.

"Next time, can you choose daytime? Although the dark night covers up their traces, it is not the best protective color, but the day is the best time to relax and commit crimes! ”

Ye Ruoxi said helplessly, the subtext is, can you let her sleep peacefully?

turned around, walked through the wind and snow in a place, returned to the people on the night of the wind and snow, and those dead concubines were about to usher in their returning sons.

Maybe this is also a relief for them, and they don't have to endure it.

"Ruoxi, I'm back."

Under the soft light, Xuanyuan Yan was really waiting for her, and a bowl of slightly hot bird's nest was delivered to her palm, warming her cold hands.

"Another one, I have a hunch that it won't stop."

"Don't worry too much, it's nothing, we've gone through so many bloody storms along the way, what can these be?"

"If there's there, it's nothing."

"Ruoxi, bother with my affairs, since you follow me, you won't have a moment of leisure."

Xuanyuan Yan had a deep apology in her tone, and she wanted to give her a quiet life, a noble identity and a life, so that she would be carefree.

It's just that from the first meeting, her life was turbulent, and after following him, she went through life and death several times, and there were no stable days for a few days. Now that he has ascended the throne and become emperor, she still has to worry about his affairs, and she doesn't even have a peaceful night.

"Boy, if you are a sister's man, your sister will cover it. It's my sister's person, and my sister's thing is my sister's thing. Sister's man must be obedient, he must be single-minded to his sister, and he is not allowed to look at other women, and he is not allowed to ......"

Ye Ruoxi arrogantly grabbed Xuanyuan Yan's ear and whispered, and his ambiguous warm breath drilled into Xuanyuan Yan's ear, and the more he spoke, the more he didn't speak.

Xuanyuan Yan looked around, fortunately, no one was in the palace, and no one saw what Ye Ruoxi said and what he did, and he was not ashamed of his supreme.

"Is this a rule for me?"

Mo Yu stared at Ye Ruoxi, this woman is getting more and more excessive, is he spoiling her?

Before he became a queen, he began to set rules for him, the emperor, and if she went on like this, she should really teach her a lesson, so as not to weaken her husband.

Xuanyuan Yan's arm tightened, and he restrained Ye Ruoxi in his arms: "I didn't remember what I said just now, say it again." ”

There is a murderous aura!

Ye Ruoxi looked at Xuanyuan Yan's ink, and the soft light gilded his handsome face with a layer of gold, so she found that she was killed extremely completely in seconds, and she couldn't say a word.

The warm lips were domineering with a predatory meaning, ravaging her lips, her teeth biting gently, and the tip of her tongue swept over, making her feel weak.

Xuanyuan Yan hugged Ye Ruoxi in his arms, got up and walked towards the dragon couch, is this to eat her?

"What, it's only been three or seven."

Ye Ruoxi said weakly, Xuanyuan Yan wants to keep filial piety for Gong Qingtian for 100 days, she can't destroy what Xuanyuan Yan can only do for Gong Qingtian after she feels deeply guilty.

"What do you think? Is it so that you can't wait? Sleep obediently, it will soon pass, and there will be days of begging for mercy. ”

Xuanyuan Yan smiled wickedly and said something in Ye Ruoxi's ear, successfully making the roots of Ye Ruoxi's ears red and his face feverish.

"Badass."

Ye Ruoxi said helplessly, covering his face and not daring to look at Xuanyuan Yan's eyes.

Xuanyuan Yan waved his hand and put down the curtain, hugged Ye Ruoxi and lay on the dragon couch: "Let's sleep for a while." ”

"Well, that's uncomfortable."

Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand to undress Ye Ruoxi, he took it off very seriously, in his memory, he only took off his clothes for Ye Ruoxi, Ye Ruoxi looked at Xuanyuan Yan in the hazy light stupidly, the noble king of a country, the emperor who had countless slaves waiting by his side, was willing to dress her with his own hands.

Endless tenderness instantly overflowed in her heart, perhaps what she stole was the rarest happiness and the rarest man.

The two hugged each other, Ye Ruoxi closed his eyes and pretended to have fallen asleep, but in fact, his mind kept churning, and it was difficult to sleep.

After a while, Xuanyuan Yan got up and quietly picked up his clothes beside the bed, looked down at Ye Ruoxi, lifted the curtain for a moment, and walked out lightly.

In order not to disturb Ye Ruoxi's sleep, he did not ask the minions to come over and wait for him to dress, so as not to alarm Ye Ruoxi. Don't you know that Ye Ruoxi is not asleep, Ye Ruoxi can feel his every move, every breath and eyes.

She didn't move, she didn't want Xuanyuan Yan to find out that she was awake, her lips curled, and she smiled with a thick happiness, as the emperor, Xuanyuan Yan could be so careful and considerate, which made her heart swell with a feeling called satisfaction and happiness.

When the minions saw Xuanyuan Yan's figure, they just wanted to speak, but Xuanyuan Yan put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, and walked to the outer room to change clothes and wash up.

&

nbsp; The minions and slaves waiting around, the surprise in their hearts is indescribable, they have been waiting in the palace for many years, and when have they seen the emperor willing to be so considerate to a woman.

The people in the palace, including those concubines and even the queen, all watched the emperor's face and surrounded him.

Xuanyuan Yan finished changing clothes and washing, and gently pushed open the door and left the dormitory, unaware of the pair of bright pairs behind him

Bright eyes, staring at his back infatuately, until his back disappeared into the deep palace.

"Niangniang, the emperor really loves you, seeing that the emperor is favored, he almost holds it in the palm of his hand every day."

Ye Ruoxi chuckled, love is always a matter of two people, and it is not okay to have one less.

"Did the letter go?"

"Someone has been sent to deliver a letter to the five princes."

"The fourth prince has arrived, let him come and see me."

"Yes, Niangniang, the fourth prince has arrived."

"Arrived? So fast. ”

"When the city gate was not opened in the early hours of this morning, the four princes arrived at the city gate, and entered the city as soon as the city gate was opened in the morning."

"Well, send someone to inform him, and see me after he worships."

"Yes."

Ye Ruoxi raised his head, the sky was overcast, a snowstorm was brewing, and the lead-colored clouds pressed low on the sky, making it difficult for people to breathe and feel breathless.

The air in the palace was dull and depressing, and two concubines died one after another, and the news spread throughout the palace. At this time, the news spread from the palace to the outside of the palace, this kind of thing could not be hidden, and last night the body of Concubine Ming was carried out in a coffin and sent to the royal temple to be parked for excess.

In the early dynasty, well-informed people learned that after retiring from the dynasty, someone informed the family of Concubine Ming of the news and asked her family to worship.

The government and the opposition were shocked, the old disease of Concubine Yan on the front foot recurred and died, and the concubine Ming hanged herself on the back foot, what is the secret behind this, no one dares to ask, and no one dares to say it clearly.

All the courtiers were speculating whether it was accident or necessity, but none of them believed it was accidental.

Concubine Yan's death may be explained by the recurrence of the old disease, and Concubine Ming's self-hanging is a little unreasonable.

Within two days after the first emperor Sanqi, two concubines died, and the most coincidental thing is that the sons of these two concubines are all princes who participated in the assassination of the current emperor and plotted rebellion, which cannot but make people suspicious.

Is this the emperor's means, or the emperor's plan?

Behind the concubines, almost all have a strong family as the backing, and these families have openly and secretly supported several princes to compete for the position of prince. If it weren't for Ye Tianqing's power in the Tanglin Kingdom being too heavy, and the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, the struggle between these families and the struggle to support the princes would inevitably be a river of blood and chaos between the government and the opposition.

Xuanyuan Yan stood at the back of the Jinluan Palace, watching the ministers talk about it with cold eyes, looking at their faces and expressions and sneering.

After dealing with the government for half a month, he realized that being the emperor is really not an easy job to do, as Ye Ruoxi said, and it is extremely difficult.

He couldn't help sighing, remembering the years when his father was seriously ill, Ye Tianqing handled the government affairs in place of his father as a courtier, the front was the jealous impeachment of the ministers, and behind it were the respective plans of several princes, concubines and queens, and they were very sharp, I really don't know how Ye Tianqing spent his nearly three years of life, and how he could

The government is so well organized.

Especially in recent months, the struggle for the throne, the changes of the ministers, the serious illness of the father, the conquest of the East China Sea, and the floods in the south......

Perhaps it was not until this moment that he could really appreciate some of Ye Tianqing's difficulties, trembling like walking on thin ice, and sleepless busyness and hard work.

"Father-in-law, it's really a very human being!"

He said softly, in the half month that Ye Tianqing left, he obviously felt powerless, when Ye Tianqing was there, even if those courtiers were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to show it in the open, and they didn't dare to do things without dedication.

After Ye Tianqing left, these people showed respect, but in fact, they all had their own scheming, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to get official positions and benefits. Fortunately, there are many people in the court who are Ye Tianqing's henchmen, these people are really willing to work hard, and with the two books that Ye Tianqing left him, he can cope with the past.

"Xiangye has been away for too long, people's hearts are unstable, and the emperor has not canonized the queen, and the middle palace is empty. Your Majesty, you should summon the Prime Minister back, now that the Emperor has just ascended the throne, the government and the opposition are unstable, and only the Prime Minister is above the court can he suppress these courtiers. ”

Zhao Qian whispered beside Xuanyuan Yan, and a whisper-like voice came into Xuanyuan Yan's ears, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in court politics, and Zhao Qian also dared to say this because he had waited for Xuanyuan Yan for many years and understood Xuanyuan Yan's temper.

"Summoning Kang Yuanbang to meet you."

Xuanyuan Yan turned around and left after speaking, it was not that he didn't think about summoning Ye Tianqing back, but he also had self-esteem in his heart, and he didn't want Ye Tianqing to look down on him, only half a month had passed, and he still wanted to rely on his own strength to support it, because this country was his country, and the world was his world.

He can't rely on Ye Tianqing all the time, not to mention that he may not be afraid of the power of the Xi family in his heart, Ye Tianqing's power is too heavy.

"Ye Tianqing, as soon as I leave, what I can't solve, I'll hand it over to my son. If it doesn't work properly, I want to speak to Kang Yuanbang! ”

The evil smile curled up on Xuanyuan Yan's lips, the old fox is gone, and the little fox is here, why should he worry too much.

Kang Yuanbang entered the imperial study and kneeled down to pay respects: "The minister sees the emperor." ”

"Get up."

Kang Yuanbang got up slowly, bowed his head and stood on one side, since Ye Tianqing left, he has always been very low-key, just do his own business, and don't worry about other things. Above the court, he rarely spoke, and Xuanyuan Yan didn't ask about his head, so he was silent.

"Ning Bang, I am the first batch of courtiers to follow me, and I have an in-law, am I too harsh?"

Kang Yuanbang hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor said this, the minister is terrified, the emperor is the monarch of the minister, the minister is given by the emperor today, and even the minister's life is also the emperor's, the emperor said so, so that the minister will die without redemption." ”

"Ning Bang, have you forgotten how you promised in front of me at the beginning?"

"The minister doesn't dare, please make it clear to the emperor, but the emperor has orders, and the minister dares not to do his best."

"Didn't forget? Then repeat it in front of me, I think I have forgotten. ”

Kang Yuanbang bowed his head deeply: "The minister obeys the order, the minister said in front of the emperor at the beginning, the emperor has orders, the minister, the entire Xi family all obeys the emperor's orders, and will never dare to disobey." ”

"At that time, I was still a nominal prince."

"Your Majesty, you are the monarch of the ministers, the ministers are the emperor's ministers, the emperor's orders, how dare the ministers have the slightest slackness, the ministers are dull and incompetent, let the emperor down, please punish the emperor."

"Big brother, is it so difficult to let me work hard and assist me?"

"It is the duty of the minister to be loyal to the country and worry about the king, and the emperor's words make the minister panic, and the emperor forgives the sin."

Kang Yuanbang's forehead touched the ground, today is different from the past after all, and now the one in front of him is the noble emperor. He was low-key and silent, not that he was unwilling to do things for Xuanyuan Yan, he was just worried that the Xi family's power was too powerful, which had caused the emperor's jealousy and suspicion, so he had to keep a low profile and understand the emperor's intentions.

"Big brother."

Xuanyuan Yan bent down and reached out to personally help Kang Yuanbang up, and patted Kang Yuanbang on the shoulder: "Do things for me with your heart, don't have a lot of scruples?" ”

"The minister obeys the order, please ask the emperor to order."

"The deaths of Concubine Yan and Concubine Ming should be very clear, right?"

Kang Yuanbang pondered for a moment: "Yes, the ministers have heard about it." ”

"Do you want me to elaborate?"

Xuanyuan Yan sat down, staring at Kang Yuanbang with a pair of deep ink, the inside story of these two things, he wanted Kang Yuanbang to be as clear as him. How Concubine Yan and Concubine Ming died, they can't hide this eldest brother. He deliberately asked like this, which was to test Kang Yuanbang's attitude.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister knows."

Kang Yuanbang bowed respectfully and replied, the previous Shen Yin was worried that Xuanyuan Yan had doubts and suspicions in his heart, he knew very well that Xuanyuan Yan would not know that there were also his henchmen in the palace.

Ye Ruoxi is his sister, from this point of view, he dares to say that he doesn't know what happened in the harem, it is a bully.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Kang Yuanbang and smiled lightly: "It's good to know, let's talk about the stakes and opinions in this." ”
