On the first day of the new year, the sky was slightly bright, and someone knocked on the door of Zuiyue Xuan.

At three o'clock, who would come so early? Lianzi was awakened, and a chill gradually grew in her heart, and she timidly walked to the door to take a look.

Through the gap, Lianzi saw He Yu and couldn't help but be surprised: Why is she here? Looking for trouble on the first day of the new year? Senior sister is not here, what can I do?

"Anyone?" He Yu shouted as he knocked.

Lianzi sighed, frowned and opened the door a small crack, leaning out half of her body to look at He Yu.

I saw He Yu covered in snowflakes, a face of vicissitudes, his eyes were a little puffy, his cheeks were slightly red and bloodshot, full of tiredness and anxiety from cold and tiredness, this wonderful scene made Lianzi's surprise and joy staggered.

"What are you doing here, so early to pay New Year's greetings?"

"What year of worship? I see that you haven't woken up, right?!" He Yu looked at the lotus seed dissatisfiedly, and asked her in a low voice: "Where is your master? Help me pass the word, I want to see her!"

"Naturally, I'm sleeping at this time!Last night was so noisy, I didn't sleep well at this time, there aren't many people like you!" Lianzi rubbed her eyes, leaned listlessly against the door, and exhaled lazily.

Last night, Lianzi and Fengxing went to set off fireworks and watch the stars, and the two were busy spending their Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was already early in the morning when they returned.

Lianzi didn't see Xue Ze everywhere, and she couldn't detect her breath even with spells, so she thought in her heart: Senior sister, isn't it okay? I said that the emperor will definitely give the blood quenching lingzhi to the senior sister to eat, but where did the two of them go? Why can't I detect anyone's breath?

He Yu looked at the drunken moon and patted the lotus seeds again. "Hey, can you be refreshed? I haven't slept all night, haven't you kept the New Year?"

"Oh, I can't be mentally satisfied, I'm so sleepy! We are only two people in Drunken Yuexuan, what age are we?" Lianzi looked at He Yu with a sad face, "Can you let me go back?" When the master wakes up later, I will boil porridge for her! Last night, she missed the food of the Hou Mansion very much, and she talked to me for a long time! I promised the master to let her see the red bean porridge this morning, how dare she break her promise? You can do it!"

"Really, didn't you want to sleep just now? and now you want to cook porridge?"

Lianzi sighed, "I'll sort the beans first, then soak them in water, and simmer them slowly, can't you rest while waiting?"

"Hmph! It's better to be like this!" He Yu glanced at the lotus seeds, and left with resentment, thinking in his heart: Since she is in it, and the lotus seeds have no waves, then it was not the emperor she took away last night, who would that person be? No matter, I'll go to Linglong Pavilion to see first!

Lianzi watched He Yu go away, closed the door and thought about it, but always felt unstable. "What is He Yu doing here inexplicably? Shouldn't she go to the emperor and the queen mother to ask for a consultation? Could it be that she can't find the emperor? This... Could it have something to do with my sister? No, she seems to have a secret, I have to go with her!"

Last night's excitement continued, there was warm smoke and incense dust everywhere, and there were not a few people who got up early.

It's a new year, a new day, and it's all about it, and it's going to be a beautiful new beginning.

However, most people are happy and looking forward to it, and some people are still sunk in grief and confusion.

Bursts of suppressed and frightened anger came from the Linglong Pavilion, accompanied by the sound of porcelain breaking and pearls falling to the ground.

The maids in the room knelt in a row, all of them were cowardly and did not dare to speak, and they were all stunned like a piece of wood, but they were full of frightened and confused looks.

Yue Guiren pinched the quilt, his eyes were fierce, and he wanted to destroy himself and heaven and earth together. "You... Where did you all go last night?"

All the maids didn't dare to reply, only Xiao Qi knelt and moved over, and replied in a low voice: "Master, last night you asked the slaves and maids to dismiss everyone, and let us... Come later this morning...... You...... Have you forgotten?"

Yue Guiren threw the pillow to Xiaoqi, and wanted to throw the quilt over, but found that there were bright blood stains on the bed. She hurriedly covered it, and suddenly couldn't suppress her emotions, and reprimanded the kneeling person: "You... You, you dare to leave me alone!"

Xiao Qi was very suspicious, and replied timidly: "Master, isn't the emperor with you? Isn't it good that you are not disturbed? Why are you angry?"

Yue Guiren raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "What did you say? Which of you saw the emperor?"

"Yes, Xiao Qi got up early and saw a figure going out of Linglong Pavilion, isn't that person the emperor?"

Yue Guiren bit his lip, and his nails almost got into his palms. "Yes, he, he's the emperor!"

Xiao Qi listened to the trembling voice of Yue Guiren, and gently comforted: "Master, it's already good that the emperor can come, why are you so resentful? The masters of the harem have only Xue Concubine who has been favored, and the others are not enough for the emperor to visit in person, so why are you so angry?"

"What do you think... When did the emperor come, when did he leave, and what else were you doing?" Yue Guiren looked at Xiao Qi cautiously, his eyes flashing with murderous aura.

If Xiao Qi knew something, she would never be merciful, on the contrary, if Xiao Qi misunderstood the emperor, then she could take advantage of the situation to go down the steps.

On this road, she has brought herself to a desperate situation, Xiaoqi is also hovering on the edge of life and death, and the lives of both the master and servant are full of tragedy and ridiculousness.

"Slave... The slave maid only saw the emperor's figure in the morning, and the specific situation was not very clear. Emperor... The emperor came to see his master in the morning?"

Yue Guiren took Xiao Qi's panic and temptation in her eyes, and it seemed that Xiao Qi didn't know the truth, so she continued to ask: "Why do you think so? Why do you persuade me like that?"

"Because Xiao Qi heard people say before he came, the emperor stayed in Yuyang Palace for a long time last night, and went to visit the queen mother again in the morning...... Linglong Pavilion happened to be in the middle of the harem, and the emperor should come over to apologize. The slave and the maid persuaded the master...... That's because the emperor doesn't care about us for the time being, it doesn't matter, he didn't come last night, but he was the first to come this morning, isn't this a good beginning? The master admires the emperor, and the emperor will definitely be grateful for it, and this feeling can be cultivated slowly......

A smile appeared on the corner of Yue Guiren's mouth, she nodded, and said with a smile: "You still know me best!

"Thank you, master!" Xiao Qi stood up and hugged the pillow.

Yue Guiren took the initiative to take it, and did not intend to get off the bed, but fell asleep again. "You don't have to clean up for the time being, I still want to sleep again! It was too noisy last night, and I haven't rested properly!"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and took a few steps back, and took all the maids out.

Yue Guiren touched his body, and his eyes were bloodshot again. "Fortunately, no one has found out, but how should I face the emperor?"

Today, the sky was six minutes brighter, and the noble Yue woke up from a burst of coolness. She was sleepy, her eyelids were heavy, but she felt that her back was exposed to the cold, and she wanted to cover herself with a quilt, but she found that her arms were sore, her body was sore, and there was a heavy force pressing on her body.

Suddenly she woke up to find a man lying beside her, sleeping in the crook of his arm. Stuck in memories, the remnants of last night's memories made her blush, shy and happy, and she couldn't help but call "Brother Li".

"Huh?"

The man's muffled voice was a little strange and familiar, but it was not Liu Li's voice. She looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned in surprise and fear with the same panicked look.

"County Lord?"

She was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she didn't even have the courage to scream. "You... Why are you here?"

"I ......" Before Liu Zhong could explain, the quilt on his body had been lifted by her, and a cold covered his body. "You... Don't get excited!"

She hugged the quilt in horror, shrunk into the corner of the bed, looked at herself with red eyes, and then stared at him with anger. "You... You pervert, get out of here!"

"County Lord, I!" Liu Zhong was completely suspicious, but he was awakened by the cold.

He hurriedly picked up his clothes on the ground, and looked around as he wore them, the scenery in his eyes was so familiar, and the scene of last night was vivid and clear. "I... I didn't come here on purpose, but who knew you lit the incense? I, how about I marry you?"

She glared at him angrily, and said in a dumb voice: "I am a noble person now, who wants you to marry? You better act as if you don't know anything, you get out of me! If you dare to say half a word, I will definitely want you to look good!"

"But, but we've been... What is the use of you guarding the position of a noble person if you have been a husband and wife? Although I don't mean to offend, but... I will be responsible for this matter, I will be responsible! Don't be afraid, I'll tell my third brother about it, and he will definitely agree!"

"Get out, you get out! I, Xue Lingyue, am already the emperor's person, and the whole world knows it, what do you say? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Liu Zhong shook his head and sat beside her. "No, no! You don't have to be obsessed with this, the third brother has no feelings for you, and you ...... Why don't you follow me? I, no matter what I say, I will be responsible for you, and I will definitely not treat you badly!"

She slapped him angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "I know, you have always been ruthless, and this time you are also fighting for the throne and power! Do you think that you can get the support of the Xue family by occupying my body? Let me tell you, since I, Xue Lingyue, am married to the emperor, then I am his person, and I am the emperor's concubine in life and death! You don't want to think about it again! I would rather be a broken jade than a broken person!"

"Why do you bother?" Liu Zhong sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean to, and I don't want to, why don't you believe it? Besides, you and I are husband and wife, right? How can you say that about me? If you stay in the harem, how should you live in the future? Although I don't like you, and I don't have the power of the emperor, but... I can at least give you a safe place!"

"Get out!" Xue Lingyue pushed him, "If you don't leave, I'll die to show you!"

"You!" Liu Zhong stood in front of the bed, looking at Xue Lingyue very helplessly, and couldn't stop sighing. "A woman like you, but I have no fate! Last night, I owe you, when will you figure it out and come back to me!"

She snorted coldly, "Get out of here, just act as if nothing happened! If you dare to show half a point, I will kill you! I, Xue Lingyue, have nothing to do with you in the past, and I will be ruthless with you in the future!"
