Xu Qing'er's hand suddenly lost its strength and slipped out of He Xi's hand, He Xi subconsciously clenched it and looked at Xu Qing'er, seeing that the corners of her lips were smiling, as if she was extremely tired, and closed her eyes.

He Xi's fingers trembled and stretched out, probing her snort, and there was nothing.

Infinite sadness welled up in her heart, Xu Qing'er's life seemed to be extremely simple, she was once as clean as a piece of paper, after being impregnated in this palace, she struggled with it, and finally put herself in, maybe she will never know, the queen is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, she will never know, the beloved person in her heart and mind, how she killed her child almost cruelly, she will not know anything, so with a satisfied smile, she left this pickled world, But why, He Xi's heart hurts so much?

She seemed to have returned to the past, the night when she burned Weiyang Palace, the night when Chou'er died, she almost couldn't stand up in pain, she lay on the cold quilt, tears falling drop by drop.

The door was slammed open vigorously, it was a green pothos, Xu is heart between the master and servant, she slowly walked to Xu Qing's bedside, and when she saw Xu Qing'er, who had long been silent, she knelt down on the ground and called: "Miss-"

Ruyi held back her tears, looking at everything in front of her, He Xi lay motionless on the quilt, but the constantly trembling, thin shoulders betrayed her.

When the news of Xu Qing'er's death reached the Yangxin Palace, Tuoba Chen was reviewing the folds, and Fuqing asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu will enter Beijing tomorrow, and he will go today, how to deal with it?" ”

Tuoba Chen's expression said lightly: "Let's bury everything according to the rules, as for Xu Shao, allow him to go to mourn." ”

His tone was calm and breezy, as if it was not his own woman who died, but the cats and dogs outside.

Immediately, as if he remembered something again, he said: "Concubine Xi and Shen promise have a very close relationship, pass on my will, Concubine Xi does not need to attend a small promised funeral, just raise the baby with peace of mind." ”

Fuqing didn't expect Tuoba Chen to be so ruthless, so he could only bow down and say: "Yes, the slave will go down to pass the decree." ”

A gust of wind blew, blowing open the window of the Heart Nourishing Palace, rolling up the scrolls on the desk, Tuoba Chen put down the pen in his hand and went in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

At this time, the Weiyang Palace was lifeless, completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of the past, and the palace people who served were cautious one by one, for fear that one would accidentally annoy the master, and when they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

Tuoba Chen said: "What about the queen? ”

A palace maid came out and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the queen mother has already rested in the palace." ”

Tuoba Chen hummed softly, got up and walked in the direction of the dormitory, the furnishings of Weiyang Palace were completely the same as before, Tuoba Chen squeaked and pushed open the door, the hall only brought a dim lamp, Lan Ruo did not go to bed like the palace people returned, but sat in front of the desk, as if waiting for someone, seeing Tuoba Chen coming, she slowly opened a smile and said: "Your Majesty is here?" ”

She reached out and made a gesture of please.

Tuoba Chen stood in front of the door and said, "Shen agreed to go." ”

Lan Ruo's hand paused slightly, looked at Tuoba Chen, and suddenly smiled: "What? Is Your Majesty's conscience troubled? You asked the doctor of Tai Hospital to manipulate the medicine that Lu Chuan prescribed to Shen Xu, so that the child in her womb was stillborn. It's just that now that I have carefully agreed to die, I am afraid that what His Majesty has done will be buried in the imperial mausoleum forever with the body of Shen Promise. ”

She poured herself a glass of wine, and at the same time poured a glass for Tuoba Chen, and she took the glass and drank it down.

Tuoba Chen looked at her fixedly, and did not stop her.

Lan Ruo looked at him, and suddenly smiled, she laughed very hard, almost laughed out of tears, she said: "The concubine has always thought that everything the concubine planned seamlessly, but she didn't want to, or was seen through by Your Majesty, haha, it's really ridiculous, in vain the concubine ate so much sour and spicy, carefully hidden, it turned out to be a joke in Your Majesty, however, the concubine wants to ask, when did you know that the concubine was pregnant?" ”

Tuoba Chen retracted his gaze and said lightly: "From the beginning." ”

Lan Ruo's expression was stunned, although she had been prepared in her heart from the beginning, but hearing him say this, Lan Ruo's loss in her heart still couldn't be hidden, and her tears welled up and said: "Your Majesty has long known that your concubine can't get pregnant in this life, right?" ”

She looked at Tuoba Chen, Tuoba Chen said: "Ruo'er, I am the Son of Heaven, even if those imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital have great courage, they don't dare to deceive me, your health has always been bad, I also hope to have a sister-in-law with you, but no matter how much I hope, the words of the imperial doctor will always echo in my heart, your disease is innate, there is no way to cure it, but after so many years, I still take into account your mood and pretend not to know, so I let Lan Xin enter the palace, thinking, if she can give birth to the prince, it will be good to raise her." ”

He slowed down, as if he didn't want to see the embarrassment in Lan Ruo's eyes, and continued: "Later, you said that you were pregnant, and then Concubine Hui was also pregnant, and I knew what you were thinking-" Lan Ruo looked up at Tuoba Chen and said, "Then why didn't Your Majesty expose the concubine?" Tuoba Chen's hand slowly took Lan Ruo's hand and said: "Because, this is also what I think in my heart, only our children have the right to inherit my country, and they are concubines rather than adopted sons, so when you propose to let Wei Zhongliang be in charge of you and Concubine Hui's fetus, I will agree." ”

Everything is in Tuoba Chen's control, Lan Ruo suddenly felt a little afraid of the man in front of him, his mind was so meticulous and vicious, those women he had loved, and even his own children, for the sake of power, he could get rid of it without care.

Her palms were dripping with sweat and said, "But, why is it a concubine?" ”

Tuoba Chen said: "Ruo'er, because only you understand me, you understand all my feelings, know how to advise Lan Zhili not to be pampered and arrogant, the Lan family has you, I can rest assured, and Lan Xin can only become our pawn to balance the Lan family, Ruo'er, I know what you have experienced in the Lan family since childhood, only we are the most suitable pair." ”

His voice was bewitching, just like the night before, when they carried Mu Jin on their backs, and when they were happy in his house, he also said this to himself, only he understood his feelings and could not help himself. She slowly hugged Tuoba Chen, and suddenly cried out and said: "The concubine thinks that the relationship between the concubine and His Majesty has long changed, but the concubine is confused, and the concubine has lived up to His Majesty's friendship and expectations." ”

Tuoba Chen slowly stroked her hair and said softly: "It was I who didn't explain to you that made you so unconfident, Ruo'er, you will always be the only one in my heart, no matter how many concubines there are in the palace, I promise you that you will always be the only queen." Don't worry, when Lan Xin goes into labor, she will only give birth to freaks, and you will give birth to my sister-in-law. Then I will lift your ground, restore your authority, and no one will be able to threaten your position again. ”

He paused word by word, and said it extremely seriously.

Lan Ruo nodded again and again, and said with emotion: "Ruo'er will always be with Your Majesty." ”

The moonlight stretched the figures of the two very long, and Tuoba Chen's kiss fell like this, Lan Ruo greeted with tears, the candle flame in the room was bright and dark, very ambiguous, but the autumn wind outside the hall was cold as if it could directly pierce people's hearts.

He Xi brought a white candle and sat on the edge of the long window, if he heard it, he wanted to step forward and close the window, He Xi said lightly: "Don't, Ruyi, this palace wants to send her, since this palace can't send her openly, but I also want to look at her like this and bless her." ”

Ruyi sighed, so he had to take the cloak and put it on He Xi, and then retreated quietly.

Suddenly, the candle flame in front of him moved, He Xi felt the breath of the person behind him, and said without looking back: "What are you doing?" ”

The person behind him didn't move, just looked at He Xi's back, and said softly: "You know everything?" ”

He Xi lowered his eyes and said: "Yes, this palace knows, the prince has other things, if the prince is fine, he can leave." ”

She suddenly felt that she really couldn't blame anyone, she could only blame herself, she couldn't notice something was wrong earlier, what kind of person was Tuoba Chen, who was deliberately getting rid of Mu Wangfu at that time, Zhao Ruxue suddenly reused Zhao Yancheng after his death, and now the Ministry of Industry is vacant, he has no one to use, he can only call Xu Shao, and there is a pregnant Xu Shufei in the palace, how can he let his relatives become bigger?

Her eyes looked at the distant sky, and Xu Shao, who was exiled, if someone could give him a chance at this time, he would definitely be loyal to that person, how could Tuoba Yue give up this low-hanging fruit?

But what about Xu Qing'er? Who thought about her? What did she do wrong? Is it just that as a woman, she can only be a chess piece for the rest of her life?

He Xi suddenly felt a little tired, she sighed leisurely, and her hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, this action was so eye-catching in Tuoba Yue's opinion, he forced himself not to think about it, not to look, he turned around and said: "In a few days, He Qing and Mrs. He will enter the palace, Lan Xin already suspects your identity, she is now in power, besides, you are - you are pregnant again, I want to leave Beijing for a while, you- you are careful." ”

He Xi nodded slightly, and there was no sound behind him for a long time, and He Xi knew that he had left.

He's going back to southern Xinjiang, after all, the wedding date is approaching, maybe she can still watch him get married, it's good, it's good-

She glanced again in the direction of the Autumn Dew Palace, and as if relieved, she turned around and went back to the dormitory.
