Lian Ying made a respectful gesture of please, Chu Ruojun did not forget the number of courtesies, and bowed to Shen Yi: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the courtiers will retire." ”

After that, Lian Ying escorted her away.

Shen Yi watched her back disappear under the moon, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

He stood in a place where the light had never shone, hiding his figure, but his mind was completely filled with the actions of Chu Ruojun and Lin Changtian at the dinner party.

The woman's smiling appearance seemed to have lit a fire in his eyes.

He originally thought that Chu Ruojun would smile like this to himself, but she was only alienated from herself, mixed with strangeness.

Sooner or later......

He pursed his lips, pressed the anger in his heart, and looked at the surface of the pond.

The people of the Lin family will have to be eliminated sooner or later.

As soon as Chu Ruojun left the harem, he breathed a sigh of relief, the nerves that had been tense relaxed slightly, and his face returned to a expressionless state almost instantly, like a mask that had been erased.

Lian Ying's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Miss Chu, you seem to be a little reluctant." ”

"Nope." Chu Ruojun's voice did not have any warmth, but her expression became more stubborn and cold.

"Really?" Lian Ying's voice fell into her ears in a low voice, "Is it because of the matter of Your Majesty and the Empress that it has hit you hard, does it mean that you still have expectations in your heart, but now, do you think all your expectations may be disappointed?" ”

Chu Ruojun trembled slightly, and the blood on her face quickly faded, leaving only a miserable white.

"Lian Ying, you ......" She wanted to defend herself, wanted to deny it, but found that she couldn't say anything.

yes, why is she so upset?

When he was forced to marry Shao Shifangfa, she was not as painful and desperate as she is today.

Maybe it was because she could comfort herself at that time that he married Shao Shifang to help herself and help General Chu clear his name of treason against the enemy.

But now, no one is persecuting, Shen Yi and Shao Shifang are intimate without any obstacles, no matter what important occasion it is, it must be the queen mother accompanying the king, and she has lost all her excuses.

Therefore, the reality that he didn't love her as much as before was extremely cruel in front of her eyes.

Chu Ruojun suddenly felt like a joke, she was slapped hard, and she was dizzy.

Lian Ying looked at her pale and dazed face, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, Miss Chu, you are not without a chance, since you are reluctant, why don't you try hard?" ”

His voice was so low that it even gave her a feeling of encouragement.

Why not try it hard?

Sounds wonderful, but ......

She pursed her lips and looked up at him with a blank expression, "Trying?" ”

Lian Ying raised her eyebrows, her expression a little meaningful.

"Now that he is the emperor, he will not lower his body anymore, and he can only figure out the king's heart by Miss Chu and ask for the favor of the saint."

"Ask for ...... Divine grace? ”

Lian Ying looked at her helplessly, "Miss Chu, you must understand." ”

"I don't want to understand." Chu Ruojun said lightly, "I'm home, thank you for sending me back." ”

Lian Ying was speechless, and threw Chu Ruojun a helpless look.

Chu Ruojun didn't speak, his dark gaze fell on him, and then moved to the majestic stone lion in front of the general's mansion.

"Miss Chu, with all due respect." Lian Ying's Adam's apple rolled for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice, "If you are still in the harem with this character, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive." ”

"I know." Chu Ruojun looked at him, "But it's been more than ten years, and I can't change it easily." ”

Lian Ying listened to her words, and there was some strange distress and subtle expectations.

Looking forward to what will happen to her character in the palace, and when will she be smoothed out and polished.

"It's okay...... Lian Ying's thin lips gently pulled up an arc, "Miss Chu, rest early." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you."

When the guards saw her coming back, they had already opened the door, and Chu Ruojun strode in.

"Miss." Bai Zhi greeted her, "Are you okay?" How do you look a little haggard. ”

Chu Ruojun suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Bai Zhi, and let out a low "um".

It was only half-ringing, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Bai Zhi: "There are too many things that happened tonight." ”

Too much......

......

After Lian Ying saw off Chu Ruojun, she returned to Shen Yi's side.

"Your Majesty." Lian Ying said respectfully, "Miss Chu has already sent it back." ”

Shen Yi hummed lightly, and casually picked up the piece next to his hand.

The doors and windows were wide open, and Shen Yi sat in the huge palace, his figure slender and thin.

He suddenly found that in the past half a year, Shen Yi seemed to have been getting thinner, and the king of Qi, who was light and light, gambling books and pouring tea, and knocking on chess pieces and falling lanterns, didn't know when he had been occupied by fatigue.

He walked over and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to rest." ”

Shen Yi's figure moved slightly, raised his head to look at him, and smiled faintly: "You're back." ”

He has been standing here for so long, and he has spoken to him, and he hasn't even noticed?

"Ruojun, she seems to be a little strange to me." Shen Yi frowned.

"After all, Miss Chu has been on the battlefield and has taken many things lightly." Lian Ying said lightly, "Maybe she just came back and feels strange to everything." ”

Saying that, Lian Ying paused: "Your Majesty might as well give Miss Chu some time, she will definitely get used to it slowly." ”

"You're right." Shen Yi's voice was hoarse.

"But that's not the most important thing." Shen Yi looked at Lian Ying, "Tonight, she mentioned to me more than once about the queen. ”

"Is Miss Chu unwilling to be a concubine?" Lian Ying's expression was a little puzzled, "But she should understand Your Majesty, after all, Your Majesty married the queen for Miss Chu's sake." ”

Shen Yi laughed and nodded: "That's right, I'm for her." ”

But in the end, Shao Shifang's existence became the biggest obstacle between them. What's more, she is still pregnant with her own child in her belly, and he has no way to take her.

It's just that because of that wrong night, he actually left such a trouble.

His intention to take him into the palace was also tactfully delayed by her, Shen Yi didn't expect this woman to really be able to do this.

Is she really willing to part with herself?

At this time, Shao Shifang's palace maid walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen drank some wine at the dinner and is unwell, please go and have a look." ”

Shen Yi's eyes were slightly cold: "Tell the queen that I am busy with official business and can't go, let the imperial doctor go and take a look." ”

"But the queen is still pregnant with a little prince in her belly......."

"So what? The child's innocence is not an excuse she uses to see me, let alone a tool she uses to compete for favor. Shen Yi's tone was unquestionable, "Tell her my words as they are." ”

The palace maid's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

In the past six months, the relationship between the emperor and the queen has always been like this, only when the emperor can use the queen, he will care for her a few more words, so that the queen thinks that she still has hope, and often sends the palace maid to find the emperor, she is sandwiched between the emperor and the queen, and it is really not good.

"Wait, you pass on my words, let the queen raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't do superfluous things, as for who comes back and when will enter the palace, don't ask the queen." Shen Yi commanded again.

After listening to this, the palace maid said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to make the queen feel at ease to raise a baby......

Isn't that the same as ...... Do you want to block the Queen?

But when the palace maid saw Shen Yi's cold gaze, she still didn't dare to say more, and retreated.

"What the palace maid said is right, if Miss Feng Chu is the concubine at this time, I am afraid it will be really difficult to raise a fetus with peace of mind." Lian Ying said: "Although the queen is pregnant, there are also Shao Guogong and Empress Dowager Liu, and they don't want to see Miss Chu. ”

Shen Yi let out a faint "um".

"By the way, I heard something." Shen Yi's gaze was a little apprehensive.

Chu Ruojun's affairs in the Jin Kingdom and Hongchou more or less reached Shen Yi's ears, and I heard that Hongchou wanted to accept her as the imperial concubine.

"What has Your Majesty heard?" Lian Ying asked.

"I heard that ......" Facing the guards who have accompanied him for many years, Lian Ying is simply his confidant, and Shen Yi is very relieved of him, "I heard that Ruojun has something to do with the prince of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Lian Ying's demeanor remained unchanged, but there were huge waves in his heart!

Originally...... Shen Yi knows......

The expression on Shen Yi's face was unpredictable, "I heard that Hongchoi used to have an imperial concubine who didn't know martial arts, and later died on the battlefield. ”

"Your Majesty ......" Lian Ying's face showed a little panic.

"Hehe, what are you afraid of?" Shen Yi smiled faintly, and then said, "So, Hongchoi wants to find a woman who knows martial arts, isn't Ruojun just right?" ”

As soon as Shen Yi's words fell, Lian Ying's face turned pale!

"Your Majesty!" His tone was tinged with urgency.

He has served by Shen Yi's side for many years, of course, he knows very well what kind of temperament Shen Yi is, he used to be light and light-hearted, and he didn't care about anything, but now he is obsessed with this rumor......

"I ask you, if it were you, would you believe it?" Shen Yi smiled, "Don't say you don't know." ”

Lian Ying smiled reluctantly, then shook her head.

"Oh?" Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you believe it?" ”

"Because ......" Lian Ying said one by one: "The subordinates feel that if that Hongchou really wants to find a woman who knows martial arts to be the imperial concubine, he can look for it in the Jin Kingdom, and he himself has said that the women of the Jin Kingdom practice martial arts at will, so why bother looking for a woman who is a martial artist of the Chen Kingdom." ”
