In the midst of the snow and ice in winter, this garden is as if it does not exist in this world!

The lotus flowers in full bloom in the pond, the pink petals are still with a little crystal clear water droplets, slowly rolling down, and the pond is lined with green trees, and the falling willow branches and the calm water of the lake reflect each other, forming an extreme quiet.

A delicate pavilion can be faintly seen among the weeping willows, and when Bai Youlan approached, he saw a chessboard on the stone table in the pavilion, on which the chess pieces fell one after another, and there were two cups of tea with a curling fragrance on the table, as if someone was sitting there just now playing a game!

Bai Youlan narrowed her eyes slightly, she could feel that since she entered this small garden, she could no longer feel the slightest wind here.

Raising his eyes and glancing at the blue sky exposed between the willow trees, the light was shining, and Bai Youlan instantly understood, why this place was so out of season and green, and why there was not the slightest wind!

It turned out that this side of the garden was covered in its entirety!

With such a big stroke, I'm afraid this place is of great significance to the emperor, right?

Just when Bai Youlan was thinking like this, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind her, and Huo Ran turned around and met the majestic eyes of the current emperor!

"Your Majesty."

Bai Youlan's voice was steady, as if she had expected this.

The emperor couldn't help but restrain his might, walked to the stool next to the stone table and sat down, and said, "Sit." ”

Bai Youlan sat on the stone bench opposite him according to his words, looking at the emperor in front of him, where was there any sign of poisoning and weakness in his expression? I couldn't help but understand in my heart that she and Luo Mingxuan underestimated the current emperor.

The emperor took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Bai Youlan, and saw that she did not have the slightest look of surprise, and said, "What, you don't have anything to ask?" ”

"Nope. If the emperor wants me to know, he will naturally let me know, and what the emperor doesn't want me to know, I asked in vain. ”

Hearing Bai Youlan say this, the emperor smiled indifferently, and Bai Youlan suddenly found that his expression was so similar to Luo Mingxuan.

There was silence all around, the emperor no longer spoke, and Bai Youlan also didn't say a word, just reached out and picked up a white chess piece in front of him, which landed on the chessboard very casually.

At this moment, a killing intent erupted from the emperor's body, but he retracted the moment he saw where Bai Youlan's chess pieces landed.

As if he didn't feel this sky-high killing intent, Bai Youlan picked up a piece of black chess piece and put it in the box on the side.

"Has the emperor ever heard a word?" Bai Youlan suddenly spoke, and then continued without waiting for the emperor to answer: "Instead of reminiscing about the past, it is better to focus on the present and live the future." ”

"You know here?" The emperor's eyes flashed slightly.

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Youlan said: "I don't know, I believe that even Luo doesn't know here, or he doesn't want to know." It's just that the emperor is so generous to maintain every scene and thing here, but she doesn't know that maybe in her heart, all this is not important? ”

"You're not her, how do you know it's not important?" Bai Youlan didn't say who this "she" was, but the emperor knew it, and there was already a trace of uncertainty in her tone.

Hearing this, Bai Youlan slowly put down the chess pieces in her hand, and let them knock on the chessboard, making a crisp sound, but completely destroying this game of chess!

When the emperor's eyes were about to attack, Bai Youlan said softly: "I am indeed not her, and no one will ever be able to replace her, but I know from Luo's mouth that talent is the most important thing in her eyes!" ”

"People?"

"Yes, people! For Empress An Ruo, this scene and thing are just passing clouds, which can't enter her eyes, let alone join her heart, only people are what she cares about the most. ”

Seeing that the emperor's figure shook slightly, Bai Youlan gently hooked the corners of her lips and continued: "The emperor is the man that Empress An Ruo has loved all her life, and the crown prince Luo Tianyang and Luo Mingxuan are her favorite children. But throughout her life, the man she loved the most could not protect her, nor could she monopolize his favor, and one of her children died, but the living one was persecuted again and again, and could hardly survive......"

Bai Youlan's tone was very soft at first, so soft that it would almost hypnotize people, so soft that the emperor's eyes were blurred, as if he had returned to the time when Empress An Ruo was still alive, so soft that the emperor's eyes were full of tears.

However, Bai Youlan took a deep breath and suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "The people she loves the most are about to die, and it is really ridiculous to come to save this scene!" ”

The emperor's body shook dramatically, and tears slowly slipped down after all......

No one knows or remembers that it was here that the emperor first met An Ruo.

The lotus flowers are fragrant, and the green trees are thick.

The breeze blows gently, the water droplets on the petals roll off, and the water ripples in the pool, dragonflies dot the water, and butterflies fly.

In the picturesque scenery, there is a beautiful woman like a fairy, with a gentle and lovely smile on her lips, holding a white chess piece in her bare hands, slowly falling on the chessboard, smiling like a flower......

At this moment, the emperor couldn't help but fall in love with this woman!

This moment is forever engraved in his heart!

It's just that the scenery is as good as yesterday, and the Yiren have passed away......

With a "ding dong", a black chess piece fell into the teacup, splashing countless droplets of water and falling on the table, smearing on the table.

This time, he quickly pulled back the emperor's distant thoughts, and he looked at the woman in front of him who was as cold as water, his eyes flashed slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink tea."

Bai Youlan didn't seem to notice the emperor's gaze, she just pushed the cup of tea that she threw a chess piece into it, gently pushed it in front of the emperor, and then didn't wait for the emperor to make a move, she got up and left!

Watching Bai Youlan's back slowly disappear, a man in a cyan suit suddenly appeared behind the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"

The emperor raised his hand slightly, stopped him from finishing his words, slowly picked up the cup of tea containing a black chess piece, and slowly drank it under the surprised gaze of the cyan man.

"Your Majesty?"

"Spread out, I will die soon, and the position of the crown prince is intended to be passed on to King Jing Luo Mingxuan!"

The cyan man in the strong suit trembled slightly, didn't the emperor always love King Jing, why did he push King Jing to the forefront this time and become the target of everyone!

Although this person was puzzled in his heart, he immediately conveyed the emperor's meaning, and everyone knew that the emperor saw King Luo Mingxuan yesterday, that is, he would be made the crown prince, and he would be officially made public soon!

For a time, people from all sides shook together, and the situation was unpredictable.

"Luo ...... Mingxuan. Gu Xiaoran habitually called Luo Mingxuan the word "Luo", but he came to his senses in the indifferent gaze he swept over, and changed his words: "Now you have become a thorn in the side of all parties, which bastard spread the rumors, if I catch him, I have to beat him all over the ground to find his teeth!" ”

"The bastard in your mouth is the current emperor."

"Your Majesty...... This is a ...... What exactly does he want to do? It can't be really delirious after being tortured by poison, right? ”

Gu Xiaoran almost scolded angrily, although Luo Mingxuan has always been a thorn in the eyes of King Duan and Queen Zhou, but he will not be so open, and he will not be on the cusp, the emperor's move is to completely make Luo Mingxuan and people from all walks of life face each other, or a situation that will not die!

Luo Mingxuan ignored Gu Xiaoran's question, but asked out loud: "Xiaoran, how did you get in the palace today?" ”

Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "I picked up a big bargain this time, I don't know what reward to give me?" ”

Seeing that he was smiling, Luo Mingxuan said lightly: "Naturally, I want to reward you well." ”

After a pause, Luo Mingxuan's gaze swept over a screen before continuing: "It's good to reward you with ten beauties." ”

"Haha...... I knew you were the best for me, and I loved the beauty! ”

The corners of Luo Mingxuan's lips rose slightly invisibly, and he added: "Tomorrow, everyone will go to the General's Mansion to congratulate the second son of Gu on receiving ten beautiful concubines." ”

"What? cough cough cough ......"

Gu Xiaoran was still laughing, but he suddenly reacted to what Luo Mingxuan said, he immediately thought of his father's face, thought of Xiangdie's anger, and suddenly didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, and choked desperately coughing.

This cough made Gu Xiaoran's face red, and in the hazy eyes of tears, he saw that there was an extra cup of tea in front of him, he couldn't help but snatch it and pour it down, and finally stopped the fatal cough.

However, when he put down the teacup, he realized that the person standing in front of him holding the teacup holder was Xiangdie!

Gu Xiaoran's face immediately changed, and she explained a little overwhelmed: "Xiangdie, don't be angry, Luo Mingxuan, this guy has learned badly, he deliberately joked like this, it's really a joke!" ”

Xiangdie lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression clearly, only a stereotypical voice came: "Gu Gongzi doesn't need to explain to the slave maid, the slave maid has no right and doesn't want to take care of Gu Gongzi's family affairs." ”

After speaking, Xiangdie turned around and left.

"Butterfly!" Gu Xiaoran jumped up and left a sentence: "Luo Mingxuan, you are trying to kill me!" Quickly chased after the back of the butterfly.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoran couldn't wait to grow wings and immediately flew in front of Xiangdie, the arc of Luo Mingxuan's lips increased again.

"Lord Wang, are these ten beauties going to be found from Mochizuki Tower?"

Mo Lin on the side asked stupidly, but was immediately kicked on the leg by Mo Feng, who had just entered the house before, he looked at Mo Feng indignantly, but heard Mo Feng muttering in a low voice: "Are you stupid?" Can't you see that the prince is joking with Gu Gongzi? ”

Mo Lin looked at Luo Mingxuan stupidly again, it was really in his impression that the prince of his family had never joked.

Mo Feng glanced at him, and respectfully reported to Luo Mingxuan: "Lord Wang, Lord Rong is here." ”

Hearing this, Luo Mingxuan frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, and motioned for Mo Feng to come in.
