After turning in, I could hear Xia Zicheng's voice at the door of the hall.

"Is the queen really in there?"

He reprimanded Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu's voice was about to cry, but he still muttered: "Niang Niang really slept, really slept." ”

I knew she couldn't stand it.

The situation is urgent.

My heart was tight, and I didn't have time to take off my night clothes, so I could only quickly use the fastest movements, put on my clothes, and then get into the bed.

The next second, the door was kicked open, I squinted, pretended to have just woken up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What?" This night, don't you even let you sleep? ”

"Queen Mother!" Xiaolu cried and called out to me, and she knelt on the ground, shivering.

"Jean Lin." Xia Zicheng called me.

The palace ladies behind him poured in and lit up the inner hall, and for a time it was lit up, and I quickly raised my hand and blocked the light with the back of my hand, as if I had just woken up from sleep.

I sat up and asked Xia Zicheng softly: "Your Majesty, can you explain to the concubine?" ”

"Qin Lin, someone told me that you are not in the temple every night, and you will not come back until late." Xia Zicheng questioned me, although his tone was not harsh, but I knew that he was a little displeased.

Therefore, I could only pretend to be very aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty, you have seen me here, don't you still believe me?" ”

"Ah Qin came here last night, and you are indeed not here at this hour." Xia Zicheng said calmly, Ah Qin followed behind him, silent, and I glanced at her.

Her gaze was a little evasive.

It is impossible for Ah Qin to lie to Xia Zicheng, last night, I did stay with Yu Ge for a while, and today, I will come back earlier.

I could only remain silent: "Since the emperor doesn't believe me, why did he come to question." If you think that I, the queen, behaved irregularly, then it is better to abolish me directly, but I haven't heard of any law in Luanleng, which law stipulates that it is also a sin to not stay in the inner hall to sleep at this hour. ”

"Qin Lin, you know that's not what I meant." Xia Zicheng walked to my bed, he lowered his head and looked down at me, and I looked at him calmly.

Don't panic at this time, I told myself.

In the current situation, Xia Zicheng only knows that I am not in the palace, and he doesn't know what I am going to do, so I still have a chance.

Ah Qin should have only come to see it and left after confirming that no one was there, if she had walked around the Depth of Field Palace more, she should have found me and Yu Ge.

It's okay, it's not the worst-case scenario, I can handle this scene.

I pretended not to be trusted, looked angry, and asked Xia Zicheng, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"I want to hear you tell the truth." Xia Zicheng leaned down and held my face with his hand, his momentum approached me, and I was not afraid at all.

I thought about it quickly and found the best excuse: "I really wasn't there last night, I went outside to relax." ”

"Distracted?" Xia Zicheng was stunned.

"Today I passed by Weihua Palace, and I remembered the old emperor, who was there, and handed over the talisman to me." I changed my words, looked at Xia Zicheng with sharp eyes, and asked, "What?" The queen is uncomfortable, can't she go for a walk? ”

Xia Zicheng looked at me for a long time before he let go of his hand and said gently, "Of course you can." ”

I glanced at the temple door and found that there was a palace maid standing there anxiously, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare, hesitated, and just happened to meet my gaze.

She panicked and noticed that I had noticed her, and she immediately turned and left.

I know this palace maid, she is a person from my Depth of Field Palace, the day before yesterday, Xiaolu was not there, and she still brought me the phoenix hairpin.

At that time, I just casually asked, "What about Xiaolu?" ”

She told me that Sister Xiaolu was a little unwell, so she was on duty, and I still had some impressions of this face.

I withdrew my gaze, looked at Xia Zicheng indifferently, and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, can the concubine rest now?" ”

"Don't be so rusty, you can call me cold, I like the name very much." Xia Zicheng sat on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't tell whether he was affectionate or guilty, or a little paranoid.

I was confused, but I nodded and agreed to him, I had maintained it with him before, and I didn't want to be broken after so long.

But Leng Cheng was only left in the mountain hut, in the heavy snow.

I understand everything about him, I understand an emperor.

It's just that at some point, with our own beliefs, we all parted ways.

Xia Zicheng said softly: "I won't touch you, I'll give you time, Qin Lin, I just want you to accompany me and accompany me for the rest of my life." ”

I looked at him and was silent for a long time, I knew that it was impossible, and I said tiredly, "I'm tired, let me sleep well." ”

"Okay." Xia Zicheng stood up, straightened his clothes, and said gently, "Then you can rest first." ”

He turned to the person behind him and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

"The emperor returns to the palace!"

A large group of people retreated, leaving Xiaolu alone, she was still lying on the ground, I quickly got out of bed and helped her up.

I asked with concern, "Are you alright?" Did the emperor embarrass you? ”

"No, the slave is fine, the queen mother, but the slave is scared to death!" Xiao Lu hugged me and sobbed aggrievedly.

She was under tremendous pressure and helped me delay for a while to get through this difficult time.

I was very grateful to her, I hugged her gently, and said, "Well done, thank you Xiaolu." ”

"Don't say that, Niangniang also helped me, it should be." Xiao Lu said with the same gratitude.

As soon as I heard it, I understood what was going on, and it seemed that the dark chess I had laid out earlier had played a role.

Xiaolu has been secretly in contact with the palace guards, I investigated a little and found that they were concubines, but because of their identity, they couldn't be together.

When I found out about this, I turned a blind eye, and as long as there was no trouble, I thought I didn't know.

But who knew that last month, something happened to Xiao Lu's sweetheart, because he offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and was accused of a trumped-up crime.

He was arrested and imprisoned for a few days, and was dismissed from his post.

During that time, Xiaolu was absent-minded, I was afraid that something would happen, so I secretly helped her, I contacted Sister Lan in the imperial city and asked her to intervene through the Song family.

Sure enough, within two days, the guard returned, and not only that, but also gave him a good errand.

This good thing has to be done quietly, and I can't see that the harem did something, and I want Xiaolu to know, so I thought of a small way to inadvertently reveal a little clue.

With Xiaolu's identity in the Depth of Field Palace, it is natural to think of my head.

In fact, I'm not sure, this clue is hidden, Xiaolu can detect it, which means that she is a careful child.

looks timid, but also just the right amount of timidity, her courage is silently hidden.

I patted her on the back, wiped her tears, and comforted, "Don't cry, I'll go back and rest later, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

"Queen Mother, you are not there almost every night, the slave is really curious, what are you doing?"

"Me?" I thought about it, but I still didn't say anything, so I changed the topic and asked her, "Xiaolu, do you want to leave the palace?" ”

"I'm fine in the palace, I don't want to." Xiao Lu seemed to think of something, and said shyly.

I know, according to her nature, she doesn't want to go with me.

"Xiaolu, I've worked hard for you, go and rest." I instructed.

Xiao Lu responded: "Yes, the slave and maid are retired." ”

"Good night's sleep." I smiled.

"Yes, Queen."
