The lingering fragrance in the Yongfu Palace. The Queen Mother picked up the tea bowl, gently floated the tea powder in the cup, and looked at the emperor sitting at the bottom, "Since the concubine recovered, the mourning family has seen the emperor's complexion in the past few days, but it has been much better." ”

The emperor bowed his head slightly, "Thank you for the care of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled peacefully, her voice was heavy and tired, "The concubine is also a blessed person, who can let the emperor sacrifice his life to save him." ”

The Queen Mother's tone was not as usual, and the emperor panicked for no reason, but bowed his head and remained silent.

"The mourning family heard that the emperor rushed into the fire that day and was also injured, but is this true?"

The emperor's heart was relieved, and he couldn't deny it, "Erchen is fine, the imperial doctor prescribed some medicine, and it is much better to take it on time." ”

The Queen Mother sneered lightly when she heard this, "It is the fault of the concubine to let the emperor put himself in danger left and right, and it is also the fault of the concubine to set fire to the palace." The mourning family has completely disgusted her by locking up the concubine in Chonghua Hall over the years, but he didn't expect this to happen, but what the emperor thought in his heart was still her. ”

The emperor raised his head slightly, and said in a steady tone, word by word, "The concubine and I have been married for more than ten years, and they are young and affectionate, and I can't bear her." ”

The Queen Mother gently flicked the jasper wrench on her fingers, and her smile was secret and slight, "If you talk about young couples, Empress Li is your wife, and your affection for her is less than one-tenth of that of the concubine." ”

The emperor's heart trembled, and there was a gloomy color between his eyebrows, "My cousin was pointed out to me by the queen mother, and I have always respected my cousin. ”

The Queen Mother smiled quietly, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's just that the emperor has to think clearly, before the concubine left the Chonghua Palace, the emperor had always favored Shen Ronghua, and now that the concubine is back in favor, the emperor should not make the mistakes of the past and snub others." ”

After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother glanced at the emperor, and said suddenly, "It has been more than seven months since Empress Li died, a few days ago, the mourning family was sad to read the emperor, and in recent days, he has not been unwell, so he has never mentioned it, but the harem can not be without an owner for a day, now the highest rank is the concubine, followed by the concubine and Concubine De, the concubine has just come out of the cold palace, and her body is not good, Concubine De is weak in temperament, and her qualifications are shallow. ”

The emperor calmed down, he stood up, and said to the queen mother steadily, "The back seat is vacant, and the harem has long been floating." This year, there are newcomers entering the palace, and they really need a harem master to take charge of the six palaces, on the heirs, the concubine has a son and a daughter, the concubine has a daughter, and the concubine is two sons under the knees. Yun Ke is my eldest prince and eldest son, if he is the identity, he should be made the crown prince. ”

The queen mother heard the deep meaning of the emperor's words, frowned slightly, and said, "Does the emperor want the concubine to be the queen?" ”

The Emperor smiled slightly, "If it weren't for the fact that I had a family when I first met the concubine thirteen years ago, the concubine would have been my wife. ”

The Queen Mother put down the tea bowl in her hand heavily, her face was cold, and her tone was cold, "The mourning family is really old, and I can't help the emperor's thoughts." The mourning family worked hard to choose a wife for you, and in the end, you still belong to Shen Changan. ”

The emperor was not surprised, and his smile was steady, "My son's mind has never changed. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and a hint of resolute determination suddenly flashed in her eyes. At this moment, she finally realized that the little son in front of her was no longer the emperor who could be at her mercy. Now, he is a true king. And the glory of her Li family seems to be coming to an end here.

"The emperor seems to have forgotten that the concubine made a mistake that day and was imprisoned because she had an affair with the Nine Kings and did such a reluctant thing, and the emperor didn't care about it, but is she also worthy of being the queen of my Dachu?"

Emperor Huo Ran raised his head, and there was still suppressed anger in his high tone, "I have found out this matter, the concubine is innocent, and the king of Jiangling has misbehaved, and he has been sent to Lingnan." ”

The Queen Mother's fingers knocked heavily on the tea bowl twice, looked at the emperor slightly, and suddenly said, "If the mourning family says that the mourning family knows that the concubine and the prince do have a private relationship, and it is not wishful thinking in the prince's mouth, what does the emperor think?" ”

The emperor's expression changed, but his tone was unfazed, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I won't believe it." ”

The emperor called himself "I" in front of the Queen Mother, which was already a great disrespect, and the Queen Mother's face was slightly angry, and she resolutely said, "Okay! Since the emperor has his own ideas, it is not intentional for the mourning family to say more, the harem belongs to the emperor, and the mourning family cannot stop the emperor if he wants it. Huizhi, send the emperor out. ”

The Queen Mother suddenly issued an order to expel guests, and the emperor was not surprised.

Out of the gate of Yongfu Palace, Chu Luo's heart was already extremely troubled.

The Queen Mother said that she knew that Chang'an and Chu Ying had an affair, should he believe it? But at this point, he chose to believe in Chang'an, and there must be no room for repentance.

What's more, at the moment when the Chonghua Hall was in flames, he had completely figured it out, as long as she could be by his side, it would be excellent, and everything else would not matter.

After thinking about it, the sedan chair had stopped at the door of Mingde Palace.

Chu Luo lifted the curtain and got out of the sedan chair, but saw that Chang'an was already standing on the high stone steps, looking at him with a smile.

He was overjoyed, and his steps sped up a lot, and when he stepped on the stone steps, he found that Chang'an's figure was gone. He hurriedly entered the temple to look for it, but found Chang'an sitting in front of the bronze mirror in the dormitory.

Chang'an saw Chu Luo's anxious appearance from the mirror, and couldn't help but look back, and asked suspiciously, "What is the emperor doing in such a hurry?" ”

"Chang'an!" Chu Luo rushed to her, clasped her hand tightly with both hands, and said eagerly, "Are you waiting for me at the door just now, I have seen you, haven't you?" ”

Chang'an was so frightened that the pearl in her hand fell suddenly, and she didn't care about picking it up, so she only took a handkerchief to Chu Luo to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile, "The emperor is looking at the problem, the concubine has been staying here and has not gone anywhere." ”

Chu Luo was slightly stunned, and the strength in his hand also lost a few points, "That's really a mistake......

Chang'an smiled secretly in his heart, and his eyes were full of waves, "The emperor must be so tired recently." ”

Chu Luo showed a slightly relaxed look and nodded silently.

At this time, the bamboo curtain outside the door was lightly beaten, but the person who came in was Shen Changle. In such a cold day, she only wore single clothes, not even a cloak, and as soon as she entered the door, she was so cold that she breathed cold. Seeing this, Chu Luo couldn't bear it, walked over to greet her, and sighed silently, "Why did you come here on such a cold day?" ”

Changle's eyes sparkled, she smiled lightly, and said softly, "The concubine has already come, just waiting for the emperor at the door, seeing that her sister is inside, the concubine thought about standing outside for a while, but she couldn't stand the cold, so she came in first." After that, she quietly glanced at Chang'an, and said timidly, "Eldest sister won't mind, right?" ”

Chang'an's face was like frost for a moment, she barely squeezed out a smile, looked at Changle and said, "How come?" Come in and sit down. ”

Chu Luo smiled in a trance, but the smile was a little embarrassed, "The figure outside the door is your ......"

When Changle heard this, he suddenly raised his head, "The emperor saw it?" ”

"Yes, I thought so...... That's it. Chu Luo took Changle's hand, pulled her to Chang'an's side, and said softly, "Go and sit next to your eldest sister." ”

Chang'an bowed slightly, and took Changle to sit down with her. Between the silence of the three of them, Chang'an suddenly got up and said, "The tea is cold, and the concubine will go and change it again." ”

"Chang'an." Chu Luo lightly pressed her hand, and said with a twitchy eyebrow, "Just ask your subordinates to do these things." ”

Chang'an smiled disapprerovingly, "Don't get in the way, the concubines have already told them to go down." ”

When Chu Luo heard this, he didn't persuade him anymore, so she only went with the teacup.

Chang'an had just come in from the inner door with three hot teas, and suddenly saw that Changle had already sat beside Chu Luo. There was a thin crimson between her eyebrows, and the delicate voice clearly came into Chang'an's ears word for word, "Your Majesty, it rained heavily all night last night, and the concubine was scared to stay alone, can the emperor accompany the concubine tonight......"

Chang'an was stunned, and the hot tea in his hand was almost turned over.

Her sister, her biological sister, actually wants to compete for her favor.

Such a thought was only for a moment, and Chang An immediately stepped forward, and when Changle saw this, he immediately let go of his hand and sat on the side in an orderly manner.

Chang An silently placed the tea in front of the two. Changle took the teacup and said in a low voice, "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Chang An glanced at her slightly, but this indifferent glance was full of alienated coldness in his eyes.

Changle only sat for a while, and then he was about to get up and leave. Before leaving, she glanced at Chu Luo reluctantly. Chang'an took in her expression, took a sip of tea, and didn't realize it.

"The emperor is going to Changle at night?"

Chu Luo was slightly stunned, "Did you hear everything?" ”

Chang'an's beautiful eyes were raised slightly, and with a shake of her fingers, she landed on Chu Luo's shoulder, "My sister, eighty percent is sincere to the emperor......

Chu Luo took her hand and pulled her to his lap, "Do you know why I chose Changle to enter the palace?" ”

Chang'an turned his face away, pretending to be displeased, "The emperor's preferences, how can the concubines guess at will." ”

Chu Luo's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of vigorous smiles, "Because Changle really looks like you, exactly like you when you were sixteen years old, as soon as I saw her, I remembered you at that time." ”

When Chang'an heard this, her heart was warm, but soon that little warmth was swallowed up by the surging sourness, she looked at Chu Luo, and said with her eyebrows full, "That's ...... Should the concubine be happy or sad? ”

Chu Luo scratched the tip of her nose with a smile, "This at least proves that I have you in my heart." ”

For a moment, a sad shadow covered Chang'an's clear and gloomy eyes.

It turned out that for more than ten years, all her sincerity was exchanged for just one sentence, I have you in my heart.

It should have been a pain that went deep into the bone marrow, but Chang'an couldn't feel it at all now.

At night, Chang'an leaned on Chu Luo's side, tossing and turning.

She watched silently at the face of the man beside her. He was thirty-three years old, but the years had not left a trace on his face. Even Chang'an's own face has already shown wrinkles, and his face is still extremely handsome. Chang'an remembered that when she first saw Chu Luo, he was still a chic prince, and the jade tree was in the wind, and he jumped immediately, which made many women in the boudoir fall in love with him. Even when he entered the palace, there was always a palace maid who secretly sent him autumn waves.

At that time, what a pleasant time, she was his everything, men and women were happy, it was so joyful.

Chang An thought deeply in his heart, one after another, the things that he used to think about were painful, but now they were just cold and numb.

It's been three years, and this is the first time in three years that she has slept with Chu Luo.

Even with skin to skin, she still felt that the person in front of her was very estranged.

In the past, the affairs of the palace seemed to have forgotten even herself. For three years, she forced herself not to recall, and after a long time, when she wanted to recall, she couldn't remember it anymore.

She is no longer an eighteen-year-old girl.

She is Shen Chang'an, who died once and crawled from the fire to survive.

It seems that everything has settled, she raised two princes, and she has the grace of the emperor. But after experiencing so many rights and wrongs, she finally understood that the love of the emperor is never reliable.

Everything seems to have come to an end, but for her Shen Changan, this is just the beginning.

And what she has to do is no longer obsessively longing for the emperor's favor, she is weak again and again, and only death awaits her.

This life was picked up by her. If she doesn't die, she will not be able to waste her life for the rest of her life.
