"Since Xiao Feng entered the palace because of something important, and indirectly captured and killed the assassin who assassinated the queen, I am not ready to investigate the inappropriateness. Concubine Xian didn't know the truth from beginning to end, so naturally she wouldn't be involved. Hongli stretched out his right hand towards Concubine Xian.

Although Panyu was a little puzzled, his heart was warm and touched. Then he stepped forward quickly and held Hongli's hand with mutton fat and white jade. "Your Majesty."

"Fortunately, you came to Changchun Palace and were not hurt in the slightest. Otherwise, I'll worry about it again. While Hongli spoke, his expression was very calm and warm, just like the lanterns swaying under the corridor on a wet spring night, although they were trembling, but they were enough to light up his eyes and warm people's hearts.

And coincidentally, what Panyu needs is this little bit of warmth, and with such a little care, she finally has confidence in her heart. "Thank you for your understanding." His eyes were full of warmth, and when Panyu looked at the queen, he also maintained this smile: "Thank you for the queen's understanding." ”

"Xiao Feng, get up." Lan Xin replied with a generous smile, and then said to Xiao Feng: "Even if you enter the palace today because of important matters for the emperor, even if you are following the assassin into the Chengqian Palace, the palace will not have to remind you again." Regarding Concubine Xian's reputation, nothing is more important than this. In the future, it is better to be on the safe side, and don't be so reckless. Otherwise, the assassin can be captured, but it cannot compensate for the humiliation suffered by Concubine Xian, and the merit is not worth the obsolescence, and there is no regret. ”

"Thank you for the teachings of the queen mother, slave remember." Xiao Feng bowed respectfully, and then slowly stood up and apologized to Concubine Xian: "Today's events are all due to the lack of consideration of the slaves, and I hope that Concubine Xian will forgive her sins." ”

"That's it, you finally captured and killed the assassins, so as to avoid the worries of the Chengqian Palace, and it can be regarded as relieving the danger of the palace." Pan Yu's words are obviously thorny, if it weren't for Xiao Feng's appearance, Concubine Chun would inevitably frame herself for fornication, and the queen would also blame herself for the assassination of Changchun Palace. Thinking like this, Pan Yu couldn't help but trust Xiao Feng a little more, and began to slowly ponder the matter of joining forces with him to fight against the queen.

This toss and turn for a while, and by the time things are clarified, it is already late at night.

The palace concubines naturally said that they went together in twos and threes, just because the palace door had already been locked, and it was inconvenient for Xiao Feng to go out, so Hongli instructed Li Yu to arrange Xiao Feng to rest in the guard on duty, and it was not too late to talk until dawn. And he stayed in Changchun Palace, talking with the queen's high bed and warm pillow.

Hongli then gently rubbed Lan Xin's smooth forehead with some dim lights: "I remember, when the first emperor rewarded me with the residence of the king's mansion, you took care of the trivial matters in the mansion for me, from the major matters of entering the palace to serve the first emperor, and down to the small matters of the expenses that should be spent in the mansion of wealth and salt. At night, you often feel a headache again, and I am slowly rubbing it for you as I am now. At that time, we were talking like this, and many of us couldn't remember what we said. What I can vaguely remember, that is, some confidant words. ”

Lan Xin closed his eyes lightly, listening to Hongli's whispering with a slight smile, but he pressed his hand and rubbed his brain one by one. "At that time, there were many women in the house, but there were not as many as in the palace. The emperor is still the fourth master, and he has a lot of things to do all day long, but after all, he doesn't have to stay in this Forbidden City every day without breathing.

The concubine just remembered that it had been a long, long time since she rode a horse with the emperor and played freely. That kind of day is the real one's gone, which makes people feel extremely nostalgic. The concubine is only afraid that in the future, even if she has the opportunity to leave the palace, the concubine will not have such strength. ”

Gently tapped Lan Xin's brain, Hongli said a little dotingly: "You are still the same as before, always thinking about that kind of unrestrained days." I'm not anymore, it's just fate that I and you have to be trapped in this Forbidden City. Others think that we are pampered and the most comfortable people in the world. But the bitterness in the heart is not something that outsiders can understand. Seriously, Lan Xin, over the years, I know that there are many things that have wronged you. Do you complain? ”

This question made Lan Xin's expression a little stagnant, but she simply closed her eyes, and did not reveal any emotion from her eyes, but it also saved a lot of unnecessary trouble. "The concubine is the queen, the emperor's wife, fate, these are all the concubines should bear. There is no such thing as complaining or complaining, it's just that the concubines are not saints, and there are always things that are not good enough. For example, in the matter of Concubine Xian, the concubine knew that she owed her. ”

"It's not about it." Hongli gently pressed it on Lan Xin's cheek, and said admittedly: "I also owe a lot to Concubine Xian. Once upon a time, she was the only side Fujin in the house, but when she entered the palace, I only gave her the position of concubine, and I was lukewarm to her...... In the end, she suffered a lot of grievances. Tracing back to the source, it may not be due to her stubborn personality.

The queen doesn't have to blame herself too much, and I will compensate her appropriately. I hope she can really be gentle and submissive, and stop clinging to those dissatisfaction in her heart, and I will be content. In a few days, when she has my flesh and blood, it will not be impossible to give her the position of concubine side by side with Ling Xi. ”

In fact, the emperor doesn't have to say these words to himself. In fact, when Lan Xin revealed to the emperor what he was ashamed of about Concubine Xian, he was ready to be resented by the emperor. Who knows, the emperor is not angry, but is very tolerant and tolerant, which is very different from before, which is a bit unexpected.

"Didn't I do anything wrong?" Hongli gently pressed against Lan Xin's cheek: "Makes you unhappy?" ”

Lan Xin's body trembled, obviously not realizing that Hongli would ask like this, and said in a slightly unsteady voice: "No...... There are some things, how could the emperor think so? ”

Hongli looked at Lan Xin's clear eyes and said firmly: "I don't think about it, but I can feel it." Seeing that Lan Xin seemed to have something to say, Hongli hurriedly said, "You can listen to me finish speaking, okay?" ”

Xu saw the sincerity in her eyes, Lan Xin bowed her head silently, her eyes were full of indescribable sorrow, and she was faintly sultry.

"Ever since you went to see Concubine Chun, you've been cold to me. At that time, I really had the heart to ask you what Concubine Chun said, but I didn't dare to ask. It's not because you're unhappy to hear those words, it's because I'm afraid to face you. If...... You really said the words of the pure concubine truthfully, I really don't know how to deal with myself. Hongli looked ashamed, and there was something hidden in his eyes that made it more and more difficult to see.

"Your Majesty......" Lan Xin didn't think to defend herself, and since Hongli asked, she was not afraid to admit that she was really sad. It was only then that he called for this sound, and his lips were gently touched by his fingers.

"Actually, no matter what Concubine Chun says, it's the truth. I had the heart to admit it to you, but at the time you politely rejected my heartfelt words. I didn't want to hide it from you, but I knew that you were close to Hongyang, and I knew what kind of help your background would bring to me, so I planned for myself and preemptively asked the emperor for a marriage so that you could become my wife...... This is indeed a move by the time, and I don't want to lie to you now. ”

Lan Xin smiled and said calmly: "The concubine already knew, it is precisely because the concubine married the emperor and became the emperor's wife that the uncle and the elders of the clan will move closer to the emperor." Although the concubines have never declared these benefits, they are very clear in their hearts. It's just that you, the emperor, never understood the mood of the concubine at that time.

Being able to become the wife of the fourth elder brother of the first emperor is the wish of many eunuchs in the capital, and the concubines are no different from them. For Hongday, if he moved his heart early in the morning, with Lan Xin's temperament, he would not hesitate to go against the hopes of the clansmen. Pity...... After all, the emperor does not believe in his concubines. ”

There was a coolness in her eyes, and the tears in Lan Xin's eyes seemed to be nothing: "Your Majesty, when Concubine Chun revealed that it was actually you who instructed her to secretly spy on the concubine and Prince He, the grievances in the concubine's heart turned over and rained, almost engulfing this remnant body." The concubines are really helpless, they are cold, they have been supporting each other for so many years, sharing the wind and rain, does the emperor still refuse to believe the concubines? ”

While speaking, Lan Xin suddenly wondered if she had really married the fifth elder brother Hongday at the beginning, would it be completely different today. Will Hongsun become the successor? Will it support the Qing Dynasty? Will Concubine Yugui become the queen mother? So how should the Queen Mother deal with herself?

Will Concubine Yugui feel more sorry for herself, instead of making things difficult like the Queen Mother? And what about Hongday? Could it be like Hongli, with the affection and suspicion that most kings have for thousands of years, sitting in the harem with 3,000 beauties, and being lukewarm to himself, only respect?

"The concubine doesn't want the emperor to be exceptionally good to the concubine because the concubine has been sick for more than 100 days. If the emperor only thanked the concubine for his thoughtfulness, or took pity on the concubine's intentions for so many years, Lan Xin dared to beg the emperor to take back his mercy. Lan Xin closed her eyes softly, isolating the pain in her eyes: "What Lan Xin wants has never been a prominent identity, nor is it a pet who inherits rain and dew alone, let alone pity and charity, what Lan Xin wants is a husband who really loves him." ”

This is a bit heavy, and it erases Hongli's kindness to her these days. So much so that Hongli sounded extremely uncomfortable, like lying naked on a broken stone full of edges and corners, and his whole body hurt. "Lan Xin, do you really think that I only have pity and charity for you? Can't you feel my sincerity? ”

"Your Majesty, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the hearts of the concubines have already been frozen into thick ice lumps. How can the heart wrapped in heavy layers of hard ice feel warm, and how can it distinguish between hot and cold? Lan Xin gently pressed against Hongli's cheek, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes: "These words are not serious for the concubine, but they are the concubine's sincere words." ”

Thinking that Hongli would get up and leave, he was determined to leave no mercy, Lan Xin was ready and was resented by him. Unexpectedly, this time, Hongli didn't let go of the hand that was around her.

"In the past, I was not good, you couldn't feel it, so I always insisted on doing it well, and I could always wait until the day you felt it." Hongli is categorical but tender.
