In the evening, it rained, dripping, like a sad person crying, the dark clouds pressed the pickaxe capital, the gray and black tones here did not reveal a little breath, everyone had a huge tripod on their backs, so that people had to be careful even to breathe.

Bao Xi turned around and looked at Empress Shen, she had already come to invite herself twice, hoping to meet the king, "Why don't you go to Huachen Hall by yourself?" But you have to invite me? ”

"I'll ...... I'm afraid it's useless. Empress Shen looked at Bao Xi and said, "I still have to preside over the affairs of the entire palace now, Mrs. Zheng has passed away, I have to handle it single-handedly, I have already sent the female queen to Huachen Hall to inform the king." Now I just waited for the medical officer in Mrs. Qin's hands. ”

"Mrs. Qin refuses to let go, Empress Shen can go and rob it, justice is always on your side!" Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen and said, as if she was exposing a mask of hypocrisy in her, without showing mercy at all, Huachen Hall Bao Xi always has to go this way, but it is not interesting to ask Empress Shen to push it in the back, "Go and rob the medical officer and come back, and wait for the affairs of the Xiande Hall to be dealt with, Empress Shen should also meet the king, and he must always report, he can't drag it on like this." ”

"The king must only want to see you at this moment." Empress Shen said that she didn't really think so, she just wanted to push someone out to test it, and now she was at odds with Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wei was too stupid, so the task fell on Bao Xi's shoulders.

"You haven't asked the king, how do you know what the king thinks?" Bao Xi replied lightly, "Is Niangniang unwilling to go to see the king or dare not go to see the king?" Now everyone is standing outside the gate of Huachen Palace, watching, no one is willing to step into this palace, everyone knows that it is a dangerous place, why does Shen Hou feel so self-aware? She looked up at Shin Hou and waited for her answer.

Empress Shen was so blocked by Bao Xi that she had nothing to say, "The king won't want to see me at this time, even Mrs. Qin, the person who was clamoring to enter the Huachen Hall before, has stopped mentioning this matter this time, why should I go in?" She softened, "As the queen of a dynasty, it is right to be prepared to sacrifice for this country, but I don't want to die without knowing it, just like Mrs. Zheng." She let out a long sigh and shook her head.

Bao Xi didn't pick up Empress Shen's words, Mrs. Zheng was smarter than most of them, her death was not unclear at all, she understood very well, she understood who wanted her to die, and she also understood what her death could bring? In the end, this confrontation was Bao Xi took a step back, "Later, when it's dark, I'll take a trip to Huachen Palace." ”

Empress Shen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Bao Xi and said, "You don't have to worry about Mrs. Zheng's funeral. No matter what kind of dispute she had with me during her lifetime, death is great! It's time for our grievances to be written off, and I'll treat her like my own sister to take care of the aftermath. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Bao Xi said softly.

Empress Shen patted the back of Bao Xi's hand, and walked out of the room with a soft sigh, Ziyan held up an umbrella for Empress Shen, walked down the high steps of the Qiongtai Hall step by step, and gradually disappeared into the rainy curtain. Bao Xi put the water, bathed and changed clothes, re-groomed and took care of it, and swept away the fatigue all over her body.

Outside, it was getting dark, and the rain was getting heavier.

The harem ladies and courtiers in front of the hall have already left, the front of the Huachen Hall is deserted, the heavy rain falls along the eaves of the roof, and a long water curtain is hung in front of the palace door, Bao Xi holds an umbrella and wears a coat into the twilight rain, walks into the Huachen Palace, hears the footsteps from far and near, Ji Gongyan slowly raised his head, only to see Bao Xi's face reflected in his eyes, it is a kind of black and white painting gradually adding color to the rhythm, he took a lot of effort to see the person clearly.

Ji Gongyan didn't speak, neither did Bao Xi, she took off her coat and sat beside him, looking at the scenery outside the door. From this direction, it seems to be the lotus pond, and now in late autumn and early winter, all the lotus leaves have fallen, leaving behind a mess and wreckage.

No one ever stepped into the lotus pond anymore, and no one smiled when picking lotus flowers for Bo.

Ji Gongyan pinched the bridge of his nose and lay down on the ground, Bao Xi turned around and pinched Ji Gongyan's hand, he grabbed her hand and squeezed it like this. The room was very quiet, filled with the sound of wind and rain outside the door, the sky was dark, and the candlesticks in the room were sparsely lit with an orange halo, so that the whole room was extremely dark by this halo.

The silence was broken by Father Yushi, who hurriedly walked in from outside the house, dusted off the rain on his body, and saw that Bao Xi was stunned at first, and then bowed to Ji Gong and saluted Bao Xi, Ji Gong Yan turned his back to the sky and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Say! ”

"Uncle Qin." Father Yu Shi said that he was sent by Ji Gongyan to inquire about the situation in Uncle Qin's mansion during the day, as if he had long expected that something would happen in the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Qin boasted that she could pinch Ji Gongyan's sore feet, but she didn't know that Ji Gongyan knew her better, Father Yu Shi continued, "All the medical officers have now returned to the palace, Mrs. Qin cried bitterly in Uncle Qin's mansion and refused to leave, and now I am afraid that I will have to deal with Uncle Qin's funeral, and then the king will prepare for the sealing of Qin Shizi." ”

"The widow knows." Ji Gongyan waved his hand, and the meaning of this gesture was to tell him to stand down.

"Wechen farewell!" Father Yu Shi retreated from the Huachen Palace, and hurriedly walked towards the door, such as the chaos of the princes today, but it is really a reshuffle, the original Jiang family with the death of the Empress Dowager Jiang, the fall of favor after Shen, the authority no longer exists, and now it has become the world led by Uncle Zhao. He can't say whether this situation is good or bad for him, but he always feels that there will be a great change in the situation in the world.

Ji Gongyan got up from the ground, grabbed Bao Xi's hand and dragged her up, he walked in front and led her, "Let's go!" ”

"Where to go?" Bao Xi asked.

"Go home!" Ji Gongyan dropped two words, and he helped Bao Xi put the robe on his body again, hit the umbrella above his head, shielded her from the wind and rain with his arms, protected her delicate body and rushed into the rain, and ran towards Qiongtai Palace. Bao Xi's steps are small, and it is very difficult to run, Ji Gongyan simply hugged Bao Xi horizontally, she held an umbrella for him, he ran wildly in the rain with her feet, rushed up the hundreds of steps in front of the Qiongtai Palace, and then put her down in front of the temple door, combed the ends of her sideburns, and looked at her and smiled gently, "The widow is back." ”

Bao Xi's hand caressed Ji Gongyan's face, and there were tears in his eyes, he had not seen him for many days, he was a lot haggard, and he had lost a lot of weight, his originally fair skin had become dark and vicissitudes, and he looked ten years old, "Great King," she called softly.

"When did she leave?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"Around noon." Bao Xi replied.

"What do you say?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"She loves you, she doesn't hate you." Bao Xi said, Ji Gongyan took a deep breath, he really didn't expect Mrs. Zheng to be able to spy on his thoughts, "I didn't expect her to gain insight." ”

"She knows you well," she said, "and she's smarter than you think." ”

"Maybe the women of the entire harem are smarter than I thought," Himenomiya smiled self-deprecatingly, and there was no exaggeration in it, and he asked her, "Do you hate me?" ”

Bao Xi shook her head, "You have to make everyone's death worthwhile to be worthy of those who love you." ”

"What if one day, you're pushed into this position?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"I won't lose to Mrs. Zheng." Bao Xi replied very calmly, she knew that from now on, Mrs. Zheng had an indelible place in Ji Gongyan's heart, no matter what reason Ji Gongyan had fallen in love with this woman before, at least from now on, she was an unforgettable memory for him.

"What about Lang Zhong?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"Dead." Bao Xi replied, "He killed Mrs. Zheng and committed suicide in fear of sin!" ”

"Thank you for your hard work," Ji Gongyu held his face.

"I'll only take a knife for you," said Bao Xi, "and go and see the little prince?" ”

"Good!" Ji Gong nodded.

"In the dormitory," Bao said.

Ji Gongyan walked in front, pulling Bao Xi behind him and refusing to let go, as if she would disappear as soon as she let go.

The little prince had eaten the milk of the nurse, and had slept peacefully, he had just suffered the pain of losing his mother, but he did not know anything, and Bao Xi looked at the child and said softly, "He is like you." ”

"From now on, you are the mother of this child." Ji Gongyan turned to Bao Xi and said solemnly.

Bao Xi nodded, she had already thought of this result, "The king hasn't named the child yet?" ”

"Bofu." Ji Gongyan said, this name seems to have been thought of a long time ago, and now she can blurt it out, Bao Xi was stunned for a moment, the so-called Bo Nai is the meaning of the eldest brother, and obedience is the meaning of obedience, she doesn't know if she will think too much, looking at Ji Gongyan and asked casually, "Mrs. Zheng, there must be someone in charge of this room." ”

"Mrs. Zheng, Empress Shen is in charge, as for the future...... Ji Gongyan stood up straight and thought for a while, "Pick one from that room, Xiuxiu will follow you later, she is her most trusted daughter, she follows you, don't worry." ”

Bao Xi nodded, and had long expected that Twenty-Seven should go.

Everyone thought that Ji Gongyan would be named Mrs. Zheng, but he didn't, he just planned to choose one from Mrs. Zheng's room at random to take Mrs. Zheng's place. Mrs. Zheng's son became the son of Bao Xi and named him Bofu, which means that he wants to take the position of Yi Jiu, that is to say, Ji Gongyan wants to push Bao Xi to sit in the back seat.

Bao Xi's face seems to be plain and unwavering, but in fact, her heart is turbulent, and she can't suppress the unbridled emotion at all, so she can only force herself not to move her face, and her face is still plain. Ji Gongyan was teasing his uncle in the wooden bed, and when he was asleep, his brows furrowed slightly, like his father.

"The king have a good night's rest," said Bao Xi, reaching out to untie his clothes.

Ji Gongyan grabbed Bao Xi's waist with one hand and stared at her face for a long time, "I know about the child." ”

Bao Xi turned his face away and stopped looking at him, but his body involuntarily leaned towards him, "When we have an accident, I think you can be by your side, I think you are not the king who is high, and I think you are just an ordinary husband." Her tears fell down her cheeks, and these tears were filled with the endless grievances of Mrs. Zheng and her.
