When he woke up, the emperor only felt a pain like a crack in his skull, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly. He stretched out his hand from the ethereal brocade quilt and brushed it casually, touching a lump of silky hair.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" The queen lay on the side of the bed before taking a nap, and the emperor woke up. "Quick, little Bizi, bring the soup that has just been boiled."

"Where am I?" Looking at the surrounding scene, it was not the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the emperor's heart was slightly displeased. "Why am I here, Chang Yonggui? Why don't you send me back to the Heart Cultivation Temple! ”

"Your Majesty." The queen bit her lip and felt uncomfortable in her heart: "The concubine hasn't been by your side for a long time." I can stay by your side this night and do my best, and the concubine feels a lot more comfortable. ”

The emperor let out a breath of filth and sneered: "Aren't you all resentful of me, don't you all look forward to my early death?" If I die, this harem will be quiet. ”

Xiao Bizi came up with the medicinal soup, and the queen wanted to return the mouth, but when she saw that there were palace people, she endured it: "The imperial doctor said that the emperor will have a headache when he wakes up, so let the concubines prepare medicine, the emperor, drink it while it's hot!" Taking the medicine bowl from Xiao Bizi's hand, the queen gently stirred it twice, and then handed it to the emperor: "The concubine is waiting for you to take the medicine." ”

"Don't drink it." The emperor sat up suddenly, pushed away the medicine bowl, and the warm decoction was sprinkled on the brocade quilt and the empress's soft jade hand. "Chang Yonggui, set up the palace of nourishing the heart. I want to go back to the Temple of Heart Nourishment! ”

The queen's hand hurt a little and curled up unnaturally. "You go down first." Handing over the remaining half bowl of decoction to Xiao Bizi, the queen commanded.

When the people retreated, the queen said: "Your Majesty, in front of the slaves, the concubines have something they don't want to say." But you are the king of a country, no matter what obstacles you encounter, you should not be so indulgent. If you don't drink the medicine, the concubine just needs to fry some more. But look at it, it's not even three watches at this time, how can you drive back to the palace?

Needless to say, the emperor himself is not comfortable, and if the wind blows and the cold blows, the concubines will have to be ashamed of their ancestors. ”

"I said I wanted to go back to the palace, where did you get so much nonsense, queen! It's not good to be neat at this time, but the harem is not good at it. I canonized you as the queen, not to keep you by your side to nag. If you don't have the ability to manage the harem, you can let me go to the cold palace. The Emperor was furious, and his intention to return to the Heart Hall was decided.

In addition, he had suffered a lot of Li family's slump gas before, and at this time, he spilled out in front of the extremely unsubmissive queen. "Chang Yonggui, haven't you heard me calling you? More and more will not be an errand, is it to be happy to be on the board. ”

Chang Yonggui has been standing outside the door, and he has not responded several times because he hopes that the queen can persuade the emperor. But at this time, the emperor was really anxious, and he became more and more unstable: "Your Majesty, the slave is here." ”

"Swing the Heart Cultivation Palace, didn't you hear!" The emperor roared angrily, and then gasped: "I said that I want to go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

"Huh." Chang Yonggui answered, and then asked people to do it.

The queen was wronged, and she couldn't put it aside for a while, so she ignored it and turned her face away.

"Xiao Mazi, if you go to Yongshou Palace, most of the concubines are asleep at this time. It doesn't matter if you fall asleep, you wait to inform Le Xi'er, as soon as the morning dawns when the mother gets up, let me go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to ask for peace. I guess that the emperor is moving this time. We can't persuade it. If you can, you can only be like a concubine. Chang Yonggui looked at this momentum, most of which he couldn't control. I can only ask Concubine Ru for help.

"I know the master, I'll go." Xiao Mazi got the order, and then went to the Yongshou Palace.

At that time, Ruyue hadn't slept yet, but just hugged Xiaowei and leaned in front of the bed to meditate. Xiaowei in her arms slept very deeply, with a smell of milk on her body, which made people feel very relieved.

Ruyue's heart replays what happened today over and over again. There is always something that is not thought of thoroughly, Li is thoughtful, why did he only bring a carrier pigeon with him to save himself when he died? If her secret guest is in ambush in the palace, why doesn't she help?

Also, above the main hall, it is clear that no one poisoned him, and how could she suddenly die. And before he died, he didn't know it well. Moreover, the poison was also tested by Shi Imperial Doctor, and it was an out-and-out poison. The poison is a ferocious poison, and it is breathless, not like it was laid early in the morning, otherwise it would not have been the turn of the Li family to toss for a long time before attacking.

So what's going on here?

Who is behind the Li family? And the people who poisoned her, are these behind her?

The night was cool and thin, and the moonlight through the soft gauze was particularly dark. Ruyue always felt that Sen Sen's coldness, if it weren't for Xiaowei still in her arms, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to sit still.

However, Xiaowei was like a reassuring pill, holding her in the palm of her hand, everything became very comfortable and warm. Ruyue smiled unconsciously, and suddenly heard movement outside the door, as if someone was coming at night, and the side palace door was gently opened.

Her heart couldn't help but tighten, and her twitches hurt a little. "Peishuang, who's coming?"

Pei Shuang was doing needlework with Chang Niang in the ear room, and he hadn't slept yet. Ruyue called so lightly, and she naturally came over. "Miss, what's wrong?"

Ruyue was afraid of alarming Xiaowei in her arms, so she hurriedly summoned Chang Niang over: "Hold the little princess and go to sleep." The main palace seems to be moving at the side door, and someone must be coming. Go and please come in. ”

Chang Niang hugged the little princess, wrapped in a sheet, led by two little eunuchs, surrounded by four palace maids with lanterns, and sent back to the princess's room.

Pei Shuang also led the little horse over: "Miss, it's the emperor's little horse who is here." ”

"The slave came late at night and disturbed the peaceful sleep of the concubine." Although Xiao Mazi said this, it could be seen that the concubine was neatly dressed, and she knew that she had not fallen asleep.

"It's okay. Come at this time, but the emperor has something to order? "Ruyue originally wanted to stay in Chuxiu Palace to take care of the emperor, but after all, the queen is the main palace, which is inconvenient. So he didn't insist and went back to Yongshou Palace on his own. At this time, I can't let go of the emperor in my heart, after all, this kind of thing will not be comfortable in anyone's heart.

The emperor woke up, was furious, and insisted that he would return to the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time. The queen couldn't persuade her. The master is not at ease, he is afraid that the emperor will lose his temper again, and only you can persuade him to come, so let the servant send a letter first. When you get up tomorrow, you will go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to take a look. Xiao Mazi was a little embarrassed, and he didn't say a lot of things.

Not only did the emperor lose his temper, but even the medicinal soup was spilled. The queen couldn't persuade her, and she was resented by the emperor. Of course, if you don't say these words, you may be able to guess it. Although Xiao Mazi is young, he is calm and observant, and understands that many words should not come out of his mouth.

"Let's go. Peishuang, you get ready. Let's go to the Heart Cultivation Hall and take a look. Ruyue was as Xiao Mazi expected, and did not continue to ask. I'm afraid that the emperor will not even want to see the palace at this time. ”

Ruyue's worries were not superfluous, Li was in front of the queen and himself, and he was so sarcastic about the emperor that he was ugly. It is nothing more than hoping that the emperor will always have a thorn in his heart when he faces himself and the queen in the future. In this way, even if she dies, she can't make others happy.

I can't bear the emperor's mind in my heart, and I am inevitably a little apprehensive. When Ruyue and his party hurried to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor had already rested in the Xinuan Pavilion.

"Yo, Xiaomazi, why did you invite Concubine Ru Niangniang at this time?" Chang Yonggui felt a little guilty: "Disturbing the mother's rest, the negligence of the real slave, the original intention was just to invite the mother to come back early in the morning." ”

"Don't blame the pony, it's the palace that is anxious." Ruyue guessed that if it was spread at this time, the emperor would definitely not meet. Then he said: "Just let the palace go in by yourself, and you can just wait here." ”

Chang Yonggui nodded silently, motioned for everyone else to retreat, and went to Xinuan Pavilion by Ruyue.

The emperor was half-leaning on the bed, covering his eyes with one hand, Ruyue couldn't see his expression clearly, but he pitied his pain in his heart. just stepped forward gently and covered Luo Jin's thin quilt for him.

"Didn't I say that I would go out, I want to be alone and quiet." The emperor was a little impatient, and his tone was naturally impatient. Ruyue was silent and didn't make a sound, and she didn't leave, but sat down slowly on the edge of the couch gently.

"You ......" The emperor removed his hand and was about to blame, but he didn't want the person he saw in front of him to be Ruyue. Only to turn his face away: "At this time, you are not staying in the Yongshou Palace, why did you come here?" ”

With just one glance, Ruyue could clearly see the tears on the emperor's face. Once upon a time, she thought that only she would cry weakly, and she never thought that the dignified Son of Heaven would too. For a while, I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Then he said: "The concubine learned that the emperor had returned from Chuxiu Palace, so she came to take a look." I don't know why, I didn't see the emperor, and the concubines just didn't feel at ease. At this time, since he had seen that the emperor was well, the concubine retired first. "A lot of times it's like that, in front of some people, you don't want to show your weakness.

But there are still some people who can make you dare not pity and dare not approach. If it weren't for a love word lingering in my heart, how could I stand or sit. Ruyue suddenly discovered that in fact, her heart for the emperor has not changed all along. It's just that I was paralyzed by his coldness, so I thought I didn't care about him anymore.

In the end, it's just a trick to deceive yourself. It turned out that looking at him was uncomfortable, and he was unbelievably uncomfortable.

"Isn't it useless?"

Ruyue hadn't taken two steps out yet, when the emperor behind her suddenly asked.

"How so? In the hearts of the concubines and Xiaowei, the emperor, you are the sky. The vastness of the sky makes the concubines feel at ease. Ruyue stopped, but didn't look back. Your Majesty, you should rest early. ”

"Don't go." The emperor frowned, but he was still reluctant to leave. "Will you stay and talk to me?"
