It was already late at night, and the Fengluan Palace with a high platform was suddenly opened.

Li Shushen sat up suddenly, and in the ignorance of light and shadow, her handsome and unparalleled face became clearer and clearer.

"The Emperor's ......"

With tears in the corners of her eyes, her smile was soft and quiet.

"Did Yun Ke sleep?"

Shushen nodded, smiling like autumn water, "I just asked the nurse to take it down and go to sleep." ”

"Oh-" Chu Luo let out a long breath and walked to the couch and sat down.

The queen immediately understood, hurriedly handed a cup of hot tea to the emperor, and asked tentatively, "Has the emperor forgiven the concubine?" ”

Chu Luo pondered slightly, "I wanted to investigate this matter, but Concubine Xian said that she would not pursue it, and I also obeyed her wishes." ”

When the queen heard this, her heart twitched involuntarily. It turned out that she had made such a big sacrifice, but after all, she still couldn't withstand Shen Changan's words.

In the midst of the ups and downs of her heart, she heard the emperor say lightly, "But Miaochun, I can't stay in your palace in the future, and when she recovers from her injuries, I will send her to work in the Huanyi Bureau." ”

The queen's expression was gloomy, and when she thought that Miaochun's future in the second half of her life was ruined like this, she couldn't bear it. But she could no longer intercede for Miaochun in her situation at this time, so she had to whisper, "The concubines are all arranged by the emperor." ”

Chu Luo bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I came today to talk to you about Zhong Jieyu's position. ”

When the queen heard this, she smiled with a hint of relief, "The emperor also knows about this happy event?" ”

Chu Luo didn't pay attention to her, he pondered for a while, and his voice couldn't hear half of his joy and anger, "Zhong Ping serves the country, and his daughter is spreading branches for the royal family, I am ready to crown the Zhong family as Zhaoyuan, what does the queen think?" ”

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, "That's naturally good." But......" she frowned slightly, thinking about it, "The two show girls who came in during the draft, the emperor has not given a place yet." ”

"Then let's all be named Baolin." Chu Luo's tone was light, as if he was talking about an extremely unimportant matter.

The queen's heart was slightly cold, and the joy of Fang Cai gradually faded, she barely pulled a smile, and said gently, "The concubine has asked the Internal Affairs Office to arrange the green head cards of the Wei family and the Zhou family, can the emperor take a look?" ”

Chu Luo frowned slightly, but he didn't intend to do this, "No need." ”

The queen was no longer able to persuade her, so she only silently added tea and stopped talking.

The emperor and queen sat down without saying anything.

After a while, the emperor spoke again, "I was thinking, Yuxiu was promoted to Zhaoyuan, and there was only two grades of difference between Yuxiu and Concubine Xian, and she had just lost her child, so it was inevitable that she would be a little unhappy, so I decided to make Concubine Xian a concubine." ”

Chu Luo said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, but this sentence fell into Li Shushen's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

The position of the concubine, one person is above 10,000 people, like the deputy queen, Shen Changan was born in a local official family, and has no children under his knees.

The queen was terrified, and knelt down, looking helpless and confused, "The qualifications of the virtuous concubine are still shallow, and the concubine thinks it is inappropriate." This matter is very important, please ask the emperor to make a new decision. ”

Chu Luo had a burning light in his eyes, and he looked at her urgently, and couldn't help but have any room for it, "Concubine Xian and I have been married for six years, how can I not bear the position of concubine, I have made up my mind, and the queen is ready to be canonized." ”

After that, his gaze did not linger for a moment, and brushed his sleeves away.

Li Shushen knelt on the ground, closed her eyes tightly, and there were rows of tears flowing down her eyes.

Yuzhi hurriedly came up and wanted to help her up, but the queen only shed tears and did not move.

Seeing this, Yuzhi was anxious, and couldn't help crying, "Don't be sad, Niangniang, but you still have the eldest prince, and the knees of the virtuous concubine are empty, and they can't compare to you." ”

When the queen heard this, Ling Ran stopped crying, and suddenly looked around nervously, "What about Yun Ke?" Where did Yunke go? ”

Yuzhi said with tears in her eyes, "I just asked the nurse to carry her to the inner hall." ”

The queen nodded, and stood up to make her way to the inner sanctum.

Yun Ke lay on a small bed and slept very peacefully. Li Shushen looked at his smiling face in his sleep, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In this situation, even the nursing mother on the side couldn't help but be moved, "The queen really loves the eldest prince very much." ”

Li Shushen smiled knowingly, her fingers lightly covered Yun Ke's cheeks, and a burst of joy came out from the bottom of her heart, "How can the child born in this palace not hurt?" ”

This night, Shushen sat quietly beside Yun Ke like this, staring at him, as if she couldn't get enough of it. Only at this time did she feel that she had something to rely on, she had Chu Luo's child, and when she grew up, Yun Ke would be like him, and he would always be by her side instead of Chu Luo.

When Chu Luo arrived at Chonghua Palace, it was already close to the third watch.

There was a candle burning in the hall, and Chang'an Kazui sat in front of the couch, waiting for his arrival, but his heart was not as eager and excited as usual.

After experiencing the fall from grace, Changqing's death and miscarriage, Shen Changan vaguely felt that something had changed about him. She is no longer the Shen Changan who likes to play and is immersed in the love of her children, and everything in the past has long gone with those things. Now she is given another kind of responsibility, as the eldest daughter, as a mother.

In the past, every time Chu Luo came to her, she would wait stupidly, as soon as she saw him, she would fly into his arms and play coquettish with him. But now, when she saw him in the bronze mirror, she didn't have the sense of urgency she had before. She suddenly felt that in fact, it didn't matter if he didn't come tonight, and she wouldn't be able to sleep alone.

In the dark, she actually had a kind of temperament that could give him up to others.

Chu Luo hugged Chang'an from behind, and a warm voice came into her ears, "Chang'an, I miss you very much." ”

She smiled lightly. Such a touching sentence, he called himself me, and he had completely lost that bit of emotion. Chang'an thought about it, since he entered the palace, he immediately gave up the self-title of "this king" and began to change his name to "I", when she had not fully accepted the title of concubine, he had completely adapted to the feeling of sitting in the world. Chang'an secretly laughed at himself, why didn't he notice it before? Until today, she suddenly figured it out.

"I have already named you a concubine, and in the future, you will be my Shen concubine."

Her heart was cold, and she suddenly raised her eyes.

Does he really think she cares about it? Whether it's a concubine or a virtuous concubine, does she really care?

What she has always cared about is just him, it's his heart, her heart is still there, if she wants her to be an official woman, she won't care, if her heart is not there, even if she is the queen, what can she do?

But in the end, he promoted her position, and he still showed her favor to the world. She was displeased, but there was no reason to blame him.

Chang'an closed his eyes and said gloomily, "Chang'an thanks the emperor's grace." ”

He was shocked when he heard this, he knew her better, and in this short sentence, he could clearly hear the alienation in her tone.

He lowered his head and kissed her neck, and she seemed to be unconscious, cold.

All she thought about was the child she had lost. It turns out that God is also so unfair, she has just lost a loved one, but she wants to take away another of her relatives. If her child is still alive, is it a boy or a girl? What will it look like? How happy would my brother be if he knew that he was going to be an uncle...... Chang'an didn't dare to think about this, and when he thought about it, it was a heart-rending pain. And even more cruel, she lost his child, while another woman had his child. She experiences the pain of losing a loved one, while the woman she hates so much is still basking in the joy of being a first-time mother.

Perhaps, if she hadn't entered the palace and hadn't become a virtuous concubine, if she had stayed in Lin'an, her brother might not have died, and her child would have come to this world safely. Just because she stepped into the gates of the palace, she was destined to suffer these pains, but what did she do wrong? What is wrong with her brother, her child?

Tears flowed onto Chang'an's eyelashes little by little, and in a hazy burst of tears, she suddenly saw sixteen-year-old Shen Changan.

They were racing horses in the field, her brown horse jumped in front of Shen Changqing's black horse, she looked back at him proudly, but she never expected her horse to be frightened, and rushed straight to the forest farm, she grabbed the reins tightly, and Shen Changqing screamed behind her to make her jump. She looked at the galloping horses, and the vista that passed by in a flash, and she had already fallen into deep despair. Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped her around her, and she let go of the reins and rolled with him to the bottom of the mountain.

Chang'an only heard the sound of countless stones rolling and the rustling between the branches, and she was tightly protected on her chest until she was still. The young man in front of her, Mu Ruqing, was fluttering, she smiled, her eyes were bright, "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Chu Luo smiled lightly, his face was handsome and unparalleled, which made Shen Changan look trance.

Chang'an closed his eyes tightly, letting all the memories of the past dissipate in his mind. Her expression was calm and quiet, but there was such a bright and scorching light in her eyes, "I want to return to Lin'an." ”

His tone was sluggish, only half a moment of contemplation, and then he replied aloud, "Okay, I will accompany you." ”

When Chang'an heard this, her heartbeat suddenly leaked, she didn't think about going with Chu Luo, but when she heard him say this, there were thin tears looming in the corners of her eyes, "The emperor still has national affairs to deal with......"

"I said, I'll be with you." Chu Luo's tone was firm, and he could not be questioned.

She turned around and raised her face, revealing deep dependence and trust, "I'll leave tomorrow, okay?" ”

He took her hand, put it in the position of his heart, and said softly with a deep steadiness, "Anything is good." ”

His warm gaze met hers, comforting her for no reason, and she was deeply pleased in his arms.
