In the Qiuluan Palace, a palace maid was kneeling in the center of the main hall, reporting to the woman in the high position in front of her with a clear voice.

"Niangniang, the slave maid just saw the emperor and Concubine Liu walking together in the Shili Pavilion, and they looked very intimate."

Ling Tiange listened to the palace maid's words, his eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth were adorned with a sinister smile.

"This Liu Ruoxin is really ghostly, and this palace must think of a way to rectify her."

Ling Tiange's tone was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, as if he had some deep hatred with Liu Ruoxin.

Yan Ran, who was standing on the side, saw that her master was so angry, so she flattered her and said, "Don't worry about it, it's not worth it to be angry." The slave maid has a way to teach Concubine Liu a lesson. ”

After Ling Tiange heard this, half of the fire in his heart subsided, he lowered his head and fiddled with his clothes, and raised his eyes indifferently: "What can you do, I'll listen to it." ”

Yan Ran nodded, Ling Tiange glanced at the palace maid kneeling below and said, "You go out first." ”

The palace maid took the order and left, and Yan Ran walked to Ling Tiange's side in three or two steps and whispered in her ear.

After a while, a treacherous smile appeared on Ling Tiange's face, which looked even more strange in this empty hall.

In the Shili Pavilion, Liu Ruoxin and Nalan Zhi didn't know that their whereabouts had just been revealed, and they only enjoyed this rare time leisurely.

Although the scenery was prosperous and dazzling along the way, Liu Ruoxin's heart was still shrouded in a trace of amazement.

No matter how good Nalan Zhi is to herself now, she is also the person who has made her heart ache, and that cold tone is the source of her frequent nightmares.

Thinking like this, Liu Ruoxin couldn't help but feel a little weak, and when a cool breeze blew, she coughed without warning.

"What's wrong, but what's wrong?"

Hearing Liu Ruoxin cough, Nalan Zhi's brows immediately furrowed, and he raised his hand to touch her back and patted her gently.

"The concubine is fine, it's probably a little cold outside, and the emperor doesn't have to worry."

Liu Ruoxin slowly gasped for air, only then did he feel that his throat was a little more relaxed, and he raised his eyes to look at Nalan Zhi only to see that his face was full of worry.

Seeing that the sun in the sky was slanting to the west, and the temperature did not have to be noon, Nalan Zhi took off his coat and draped it on Liu Ruoxin's body.

"It's cold outside, let's go, go back to the palace with me."

Before Liu Ruoxin could react, he saw that his hand was grasped by Nalan Zhi's wide hand, and he felt a warm current coming from his palm.

After returning to the Green Shade Palace, Nalan Zhi briefly instructed Liu Ruoxin and Wanqiu, and watched her drink the medicine and go to bed before turning around and leaving the room.

When he walked to the door, Nalan suddenly stopped and looked at the closed door behind him, and then glanced at Dongfang City standing next to him, and couldn't help frowning.

"Dongfang City, come with me."

Dongfang Cheng heard Nalan Zhi's slightly angry voice and remembered, although he was stunned for a moment, he still obediently followed Nalan Zhi out of the Green Shade Palace.

Along the way, Nalanzhi didn't speak again, and the two of them arrived at Nalanzhi's imperial study one after the other.

Entering the room, several little eunuchs took charge of the lights in the niche, and the firelight quickly illuminated the entire study. Nalan Zhi threw off the curtain of his trousers and sat on the jade chair, and sent off a group of subordinates.

Dongfang Cheng stood upright in front of his desk, looking at Nalan Zhi's expression plain and sincere.

Seeing this, Nalan Zhi raised his eyebrows, and his tone was lazy: "I don't sell it to you anymore, today I see you looking at Concubine Liu with a strange expression, but what's the matter?" ”

Dongfang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he just observed Liu Ruoxin a few times and was taken into the eyes of Nalan Zhi, and was a little surprised for a while.

Seeing this, Nalan Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fingers on the table couldn't help but tap a few times.

Dongfang Cheng immediately came back to his senses, lowered his head and saluted unhurriedly.

"Today's subordinates glanced at Concubine Liu a few times, not intentionally offended, but just strange Niangniang's behavior in the morning."

When Nalan Zhi heard this, he became interested, slapped the table with his big hand and said, "What did Concubine Liu do?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the mother gave her a cup of tea."

Dongfang Cheng replied to Nalan Zhi's words in a low voice, trying to make his tone sound more indifferent, so as not to provoke Nalan Zhi's fire.

After all, the emperor's favorite concubine openly gave tea to a guard, and if it was passed out, she would not be chewed up by those gossip maids in this deep palace.

Sure enough, even though Dongfang Cheng had already said it very tactfully, there was still anger in Nalan Zhi's eyes.

just remembered that he had told Liu Ruoxin that he would believe her no matter what, and he barely calmed down the anger in his heart.

"Alright, you go down first. But from tomorrow, you don't have to go to the Green Shade Hall again. ”

Nalan Zhi calmed down and let Dongfang Cheng leave the study, and then the study fell into silence.

Looking at the flames in the lamp niche on his desk beating incessantly, Nalan Zhi felt his anger rise again.

"It's clear that I'm still a little distant these days, but I have a heart for a little guard and give him tea."

Nalan Zhi sat alone on the chair and kept muttering, and in the end, he had a headache and didn't come up with anything, so he had to go back to the dormitory irritably.

The next morning, Nalan woke up early in the morning. When he got up and looked out the window, he saw that the sky was white and a little gray, and he was a little out of breath when he was gloomy on the ground.

After sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, Nalan Zhi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and called the little eunuch outside the house to come in and change his clothes.

The little eunuch slipped into the room with a smile on his face, but when he saw Nalan Zhi's cold expression, he couldn't help but hurriedly lowered his head and quickened the speed of his hand.

In the Green Shade Palace, Liu Ruoxin slept well and woke up lazily from her sleep, sniffing the aroma of food outside the door, and couldn't help but have a smile on her face.

Wanqiu entered the house with breakfast, and saw that Liu Ruoxin had woken up, so she hurriedly put down the dinner plate and went to help her.

"The weather is really good today, and this palace looks even better than yesterday."

After Liu Ruoxin washed up, she simply put on a long coat and sat at the table for breakfast.

In the same evening, I looked outside the house while talking and laughing, but I saw that the standing figure outside didn't look like yesterday.

"The one outside, it doesn't look like it's Dongfang City?"

Liu Ruoxin turned her head to look at Wanqiu, and seeing that there was no doubt in her eyes, she couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in her hand and raised her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Late Autumn blinked her two big watery eyes and waved her hand.

"The slave doesn't know anything, it's just that the slave and maid have already seen the new guard before the mother wakes up, and it's really not Lord Dongfang."

Hearing that Wanqiu's tone didn't seem to be fake, Liu Ruoxin nodded clearly, and her heart was full of doubts.

Just as she looked out with her slender neck up, she saw Nalan Zhi appear at the door without warning.
