The autumn sky is clear and cloudless, the sun is sprinkled like gold all over the streets and alleys, and the entire capital of Nanyue is completely a grand scene of empty alleys.

The people of the city were all gathered on both sides of the streets, elated, holding flowers, looking forward to it, because the drought situation in Nanyue this year had finally been effectively controlled, and today was the day of the king's triumphant return, and they had been guarding the streets of the capital early.

After a long wait, I finally saw a huge procession enter through the city gates. In the front is a bright yellow royal robe, and I saw Dongfang Lieduan sitting on it in a black Nine Dragons pearl-winning brocade robe, his handsome face was cold, and his angular face was like the most perfect work of art shaped by God.

There was a faint hint of excitement in his deep eyes, and it had been half a month, and his thoughts about that woman were increasing day by day. At the thought of seeing her right away, Dongfang Lie's thin lips unconsciously pursed slightly.

This time, thanks to this woman, who has solved his heart for many years, this time when he returns to the palace, he must reward that woman well. Thinking like this, he ordered people to rush back to the palace in a hurry.

After getting off the royal court, Dongfang Lie hurriedly went to Hongyi Palace. Unexpectedly, there were already people there, and the building was empty.

"The slave and maid have seen the king." The palace maid who was in charge of cleaning the temple saw Dongfang Lie and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Dongfang Lie said in a cold voice, "What about the people here? ”

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to the king, the water prince has left for the time being, and here is a letter she left for you." ”

When Dongfang Lie opened the letter, he saw only two short lines of handwriting on it: There is something temporary, and we will meet again next time.

Dongfang Lie held on to the letterhead in his hand and was sad for a long time. He had known that the woman was not a canary that could be kept in a cage, but a bird that roamed the sky, so it was impossible for him to imprison her in a royal palace like a birdcage.

Although he already knew this, he still felt inexplicable melancholy in his heart when he faced it now.

"All of you go down, this king wants to stay here a little longer." Dongfang Lie waved his hand to the subordinates around him, and those palace maids immediately lowered their heads and retreated.

When Dongfang Lie was the only one left in the huge hall, he was no longer the majestic and cold emperor of the past, and the coldness on his face had melted and turned into a faint color of sorrow.

Eyes fall on every part of the temple, and every silhouette of the woman who once lived here immediately comes to mind.

He couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that this woman was already ingrained in his mind. However, fate played tricks on him, and his encounter with this woman was destined to be only a glimpse in this life. Thinking of this, the corners of his lips curled with a touch of bitterness.

At this moment, a hurried footstep outside interrupted Dongfang Lie's thoughts. He looked up and saw a eunuch running in with a hurried expression.

Unintentionally disturbed the quietness, Dongfang Lie was immediately displeased, and just wanted to get angry, but the eunuch had already spoken in a hurry, "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”

Dongfang Lie was already in a bad mood, but now that he was shouted by this eunuch, a nameless anger suddenly surged into his heart, "Bold minion, where have you learned the rules?" ”

Seeing Long Yan's anger, the eunuch was so frightened that he almost turned his back, but when he thought of the seriousness of the matter, he hurriedly stiffened his head and said: "Back to the king, it is really Concubine De Niangniang who has a big incident, even if you punish the slave, you should wait to see Concubine De Niangniang first." ”

"What's wrong with Concubine De?" Dongfang Lie frowned and asked.

"Back to the king, Concubine De ......," the eunuch said this, and stopped talking, "Your Majesty, you better go and have a look." ”

Dongfang Lie's eyes flashed with doubts, and he couldn't help but slander what happened to Concubine De, and he didn't care about the eunuch's misdemeanor just now, so he walked out.

Hongyi Hall and the palace where Concubine De lived were not far apart, and in less than two teas, they came to Concubine De's residence, and they heard Concubine De's shrill voice shouting from afar.

Dongfang Lie walked inside, but the look on his face became more and more ugly. Before, he always felt that Concubine De had a gentle personality and reasonableness, so he loved Concubine De, even if there were newcomers entering the palace over the years, but he had never treated Concubine De badly, but he didn't expect this woman to be so good at disguise, even he was deceived. Dongfang Lie's face instantly darkened.

In the dormitory, Concubine De threw the furnishings in the hall to the ground like crazy at the moment. None of the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall rushed forward to dissuade them.

"Ah...... My face, what's wrong with my face? Doctor, tell Hongu, is my face still saved? Concubine De grabbed the hand of a imperial physician and asked with a glare.

The imperial doctor looked puzzled: "Concubine De Niangniang, the toxin on your face has never been seen by the minister, but I am afraid that I can only suppress the toxin, and if you want to completely remove it, the minister is not sure." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, pushed the imperial doctor hard, and said angrily: "Bastard thing," bastard thing, you eat the king's money, but you can't even solve the poison of the palace, don't you want your head? ”

When the several imperial doctors present heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy: "Concubine De Niangniang forgives her sins, the old minister is only shallow in learning, and his knowledge is limited, so he really doesn't know how to detoxify." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she was even more angry in her heart, and couldn't help sneering: "Okay, well, since you waste are so useless, what's the use of keeping your head." ”

A group of imperial doctors suddenly cried and said with sad faces: "Concubine De Niangniang, the old minister is really helpless, even if you kill the old minister, there is no way!" ”

"Okay, well, since that's the case, then drag it all down to the palace!"

As soon as Concubine De's words fell, she heard a cold voice sound, "Slow! ”

The originally noisy hall immediately fell silent. Everyone followed the prestige, and they didn't know when Dongfang Lie had already stood at the door of the temple.

Concubine De was stunned for a moment, and then said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of your concubines!" I don't know who secretly poisoned the concubine, causing the concubine to lose her face, but I am afraid that she will have no shame to serve the king in the future. After Concubine De finished speaking, she began to cry with good singing and writing.

Dongfang Lie was already upset, but now when he saw Concubine De's originally beautiful face festering and pus, and blood dripping, he suddenly felt extremely disgusted.

Dongfang Lie's eyes were colder than knives, and just a glance made Concubine De instantly quiet, only to feel a cold breeze blowing on her neck.

"Mo Shuang, tell this king, what happened after this king left the palace?"

Dongfang Lie's gaze fell on Mo Shuang next to Concubine De like an ice sword, and Mo Shuang instantly felt that an invisible pressure was about to overwhelm her.

Mo Shuang only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and he glanced at Concubine De, but he didn't have time to give Concubine De a look, only to hear Dongfang Lie's voice as cold as a railway: "What, what can't you say to this king?" ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves don't dare! Mo Shuang was instantly frightened by Dongfang Lie's momentum and broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Since there is nothing to dare to, then tell the truth to this king, and if there is anything to hide, don't read this king's ruthlessness at that time."

When Dongfang Lie didn't walk in just now, he had already heard the situation inside clearly at the entrance of the hall.

The imperial doctors in the palace are from the entire Yuntian Continent, and they can only serve in the Tai Hospital after layers of selection, what kind of toxin is it, it is so powerful that a group of imperial doctors are helpless against it. The first thought that flashed in Dongfang Lie's mind was that this matter must have something to do with that woman.

Now there are not many people in the entire Yuntian Continent who can use the strange poison. And just Shui Ningyan was in the palace during this time, so apart from this woman, he really couldn't think of anyone else who was suspected of doing this.

Mo Shuang has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and she is very clear about the temperament of the king in front of her, if she refuses to tell the truth today, she is afraid that she will not even be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is nothing, after you left the palace, all the ladies in the palace got along very well, and there were no disputes and unhappiness."

Mo Shuang finished speaking half-truthfully, and then glanced at Dongfang Lie, slandering in her heart that what she said was indeed the truth, but she just didn't mention Concubine De's mother, so she shouldn't be a lie.

Mo Shuang had a small calculation in his heart, only to hear Dongfang Lie's voice be a little cold, and snorted coldly: "Then tell me about the person who lived in Hongyi Hall before and your master." I'm going to give you another chance, remember, there's a limit to my patience. ”

Hearing this, Mo Shuang's body trembled violently in fright, and for a while he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help but slander: I think that the king must already know something, so it is impossible to suddenly mention the wild boy who lives in Hongyi Palace.

Concubine De was also surprised, before Dongfang Lie returned to the palace, she had already sealed the mouth of the palace people, and now Concubine De in the harem is powerful, and no one dares to provoke her, so at that time, no one dared to tell Dongfang Lie about framing Shui Ningyan with a rag doll.

In fact, Concubine De didn't know that Dongfang Lie didn't hear any rumors, but because he knew Shui Ningyan's jealous and hateful nature. If it weren't for Concubine De, who offended her first, that woman would definitely disdain to attack Concubine De.

Moshuang knew that it was a matter of life and death now, and in order to save her life, she had to tell all the bad things she had done with Concubine De before.

Looking at Dongfang Lie's increasingly gloomy face, Concubine De was angry and afraid, and just wanted to quibble, but who knew that Dongfang Lie announced her death sentence the next moment.

"Xiaoyu Six Palaces, Concubine De lost her morality, and she will enter the cold palace from now on, since she is left to fend for herself, she must not take half a step out of the cold palace! As for the palace maid Mo Shuang next to her, the crime of instigating the master will be added to the first degree, and she will be pulled out and killed! ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De fainted in an instant, and Mo Shuang still wanted to plead, but she was already gagged with a sweat towel and dragged out.
