Chang'an's illness lingered for a few more days.

In fact, she has never really been sick, but she just used the excuse of her illness to be quiet.

The palace burned all the things that Yun Jing could burn, and there was no trace left in the entire Taoyao Palace.

Yun Ke goes out early and returns late every day, and always obediently recites the newly learned poems to Chang'an at night. Chang'an couldn't hear two sentences, and tears were about to fall again. Over time, Yun Ke didn't often go to Chang'an House.

The palace people in the palace do things so carefully every day, for fear that if they make a little mistake, they will make the queen unhappy.

During the month of her illness, Chu Ying often appeared by her side, more often than ever.

Chang'an was a little surprised, but this surprise was only because he could enter and leave the palace so freely.

At first, she didn't want to get acquainted with him.

But at this point, the only person who can understand her and know her seems to be Chu Ying.

Later, she gradually got used to having him by her side, and between them, it was like friends who had known each other for many years, and they could say anything. Just like every time Chu Ying appeared before, it was always when she was at her weakest. Many times, they sat silently like this, without saying a word, and when she saw that his tea cup was empty, she would take the initiative to help him add a cup of tea, and whenever this happened, he would smile and joke to her, "Do you think we look like an old couple who have been together for many years?" ”

Chang'an had long been accustomed to his boldness, she just smiled, and didn't say a word else.

That's how life went by.

On this day, He Sheng came to deliver a decree, saying that the emperor would come to Taoyao Palace tonight.

Chang'an was faint, without a trace of expression on his face.

He Sheng wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything. When Chang'an saw him like this, he didn't bother to ask him. Since Yun Jing's death, Chang'an rarely talks to outsiders anymore, and there is always a lot of silence in a day. She was silent, she didn't speak, she sat alone in front of the window, not knowing what she was looking at.

As soon as He Sheng went out, he heard a few little palace maids with fast tongues whispering.

"You look at the queen like this, it doesn't seem normal......"

"I don't know what's wrong, the emperor hasn't been here for a month, and the queen isn't in a hurry......"

"Don't say it, the emperor has been resting in Xiangyi Hall recently, I heard people say that the little master of Xiuyuan has ......"

"Ahem—"

He Sheng coughed heavily, and several little palace maids stood still when they heard the sound, and lowered their heads in panic, "Father-in-law He." ”

"Don't chew your tongue here, the emperor is coming today, and you will all serve him well."

The little palace maid in the lead was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately said, "Thank you, Father-in-law." ”

At night, Chu Luo came to Taoyao Palace.

Chang'an was wearing a plain bedgown, and he saw him coming from the bronze mirror, but he was unconscious.

I remember that when she first entered the palace when she was young, she was a virtuous concubine who was favored for a while. At that time, the emperor would always come to her palace, every night. If he came late any time, Chang'an would sit at the door and look forward to it, and when he saw his figure from afar, he would immediately run back to the palace and act as if nothing had happened.

That little daughter's feelings, I don't know when it started, have completely disappeared.

Chang'an walked up to Chu Luo and began to untie his clothes, Chu Luo suddenly held her hand and said in a deep tone, "Chang'an, I will tell you a good news first." ”

Good news?

She's lived for so many years, and she's never heard any good news.

So Chang'an raised his head and looked at him calmly, "What?" ”

"Changle is happy."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it suddenly sounded in Chang'an's mind.

She only felt that the world was overturned, and for a while, she couldn't even stand steadily.

Shen Changle, I'm happy.

This is the biggest joke in the world.

She had just lost her child, but her sister's child was coming into the world.

Chang'an only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and his mind was blank. However, the weakness did not last long, she reacted quickly, and smiled calmly as usual, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

She turned silently, and the moment she turned around, big tears flowed from her eyes.

Shen Changan suddenly felt that God had played a huge joke on her.

Her only sister married the man she loved the most, turned against her, and the two daughters served a husband, and the end was that she lost her child, while her sister had his child.

It's too easy to die, and in an instant, Chang'an already feels like he's died a thousand times.

The man in front of her, the man she has loved all her life, would also tell her the news to her face so cruelly.

It turns out that there is also such a day, when she is old and her youth is gone, there will always be someone to replace her. This person, Shen Changan thought about it thousands of times, but he never expected it to be his own sister.

Fate really wanted to do this to her, giving her the highest power, but pushing her into the abyss.

But she now knew too well what power meant to her. She can't compare to Shen Changle now, only the queen is the same, she can compare to Changle. Only if she continues to stay in this position can she regain what she has lost.

This night, Chang'an did not sleep.

She lay beside Chu Luo in her clothes, hoping that the night would pass quickly.

Sleepless nights.

At noon on the second day, the door knocked slightly, but the person who came was Chu Ying.

Chang An pushed the refreshments on the table in front of him, smiling as usual, "You're here." ”

Chu Ying quietly looked at her, her gaze froze, "You're not happy?" ”

Chang'an sensed his sharpness and replied tiredly, "Changle is pregnant." ”

Chu Ying was indifferent, "I know." ”

Chang An suddenly raised his head, "You didn't tell me?" ”

"I know you don't want to hear it."

Chang An smiled tiredly, "But he doesn't know." ”

They are silent in contrast.

After a long time, she suddenly said, "Chu Ying, do you think I should be sad?" ”

Chu Ying's tone was soft and deep, "You will be sad." But you shouldn't be upset. ”

Chang An smiled self-deprecatingly, "I haven't lost my heart to the point of harming my sister." ”

Before the words fell, her eyes flashed, and suddenly two tears fell, "No matter what she does, she is my sister, I can blame her, but I can't hurt her." ”

Chu Ying's heart sank point by point, he wanted to comfort her, but when the words came to his mouth, he had nothing to say.

"Chu Ying, I am four years older than you, Changle is fourteen years younger than me, and her appearance is almost the same as when I was young." Chang'an's face was heavy, but there was a hint in his eyes, "Why don't you like her like Chu Luo?" ”

Chu Ying smiled heartily, but she had the power to warm people's hearts, "Because you are Shen Changan, there is only one Shen Changan in this world, even if she is similar to you, she is definitely not you." ”

A touch of emotion flashed in Chang'an's eyes, but the smile on his lips was extremely sour, "But Chu Luo likes her." I don't know if he thinks Changle is me, or if he likes Changle in the first place. ”

Chu Ying's eyes turned red, and his smile suddenly became slightly cold, "You still like Brother Huang." ”

The warmth in her heart slowly accumulated, and finally condensed into tears in the corners of Chang'an's eyes, she looked at Chu Ying, but she didn't know how to speak.

Finally, when she spoke again, she said an irrelevant sentence, "I haven't thanked you for saving Yun Jing." ”

Chu Ying's eyes were sour, and he almost wanted to cry, "I didn't save him, I was too late to save him." ”

"You can't be blamed, and no one can be blamed." There was infinite loneliness in Chang'an's tone, her expression gradually quieted down, but her heart sank point by point, "It's my fault that I didn't protect him well." ”

Chu Ying was about to open his mouth to tell her the truth, but looking at her like this, he couldn't bear to hurt her again.

This matter, Chu Ying has already investigated it in private.

Someone in the palace said that the red kite was often held in the hands of Emperor Yuerong.

Chu Ying walked out of Taoyao Palace, turned around and left.

At the end of the brick red palace road, Changle and Yixiang stood there.

Changle looked at Chu Ying's back and said with a slight smile, "Yixiang, have you seen it?" The prince came out of the palace of the queen's mother. ”

Yixiang's legs were weak, and a trace of timidity flashed in her eyes, "Slave, slave ......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Changle's cruel gaze coming to her, so she immediately bowed her head and said, "The slave maid has seen it." ”

Changle smiled proudly, turned around and said, "Let's go, go back and tell the emperor." ”

When he arrived at the Mingde Palace, Chu Luo sat in the main hall and was reading a book in his hand. Changle walked over quietly, pulled the book in his hand, and looked at him with a smile.

Chu Luo looked at Changle and said with a smile, "What are you doing?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Changle leaned against Chu Luo's side and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't look at it anymore, let's talk to the concubines." ”

Chu Luo looked at her with interest, "Then I, let me tell you one thing first. ”

Looking at Chu Luo's solemn appearance, Changle immediately sat up straight, "What's the matter?" ”

"I have already asked Cheng Dehai to pass on my message and seal you as Zhaorong."

Changle was overjoyed, "Really? ”

After saying that, she immediately got up and blessed a blessing, "Thank you for the emperor's grace, concubine." ”

Chu Luo hurriedly helped her and said angrily, "You have a body, don't salute in the future." ”

Changle stuck out his tongue disapprovingly, and said slowly, "The concubine knows that the emperor feels sorry for the concubine, and the concubine is still young, and she can give birth to many children for the emperor in the future." ”

Chu Luo was amused by her, "But I am much older than you, you are still young, but I am no longer young." ”

"So what's the matter?" Changle sat down beside Chu Luo and leaned into his arms at once, "No matter what, the concubines will always like the emperor." ”

Chu Luo hugged Changle with one hand, and he couldn't help but smile dumbly.

At this time, Changle suddenly remembered the main purpose of his coming to Mingde Palace, so he suddenly raised his head, deliberately lowered his voice and said to Chu Luo, "Your Majesty, when the concubines just came, they passed by Taoyao Palace and saw King Jiangling coming out of it. ”

Chu Luo's face was calm, and he just said "um" quietly.

Changle was still unwilling, and continued to add fuel and vinegar to the said, "When the concubine entered the palace before, I heard rumors from people in the palace that the king of Jiangling and the eldest sister had a personal relationship, and the concubine didn't believe it at first, but the concubine looked at these days, and the prince often went to Taoyao Palace, and it was several hours at a time, and the concubine felt that it would be ......."

"Alright, don't say any more." Chu Luo glanced at her, and did not have a gentle tone, "Don't worry about things that shouldn't be in your hands." You are still pregnant with a child, don't walk around if you have nothing to do, and have a good baby in your palace. ”

Changle was dumbfounded, but he still didn't give up and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is worried about the emperor, so she came to tell the emperor, and what the concubine said is true......"

"I see." Chu Luo put down his hand and tried his best to hide the uncertain look in his eyes, "You go back, I'll see you later." ”

Under the emperor's order, Changle didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he had to be helped up by Yixiang and retreated sullenly.
