When Chang'an returned to the Yuxi Palace, only Zhao Meiren was left presiding over a group of eunuchs and palace maids to clean up the mess. She looked up and saw Chang'an, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The concubine has seen the virtuous concubine." ”

Zhao Nanyan and Chang'an came out of the mansion together, and the two didn't have much contact after entering the palace, but when they got along at first glance, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she only asked indifferently, "Did you disperse so soon?" ”

Nan Yan smiled, "The emperor was drunk, so he dispersed in advance, and he was probably already in Mingde Palace at this time." ”

When Chang'an heard this, he hurriedly wanted to go to Mingde Palace, and when he left, he still didn't forget to look back at Zhao Meiren and smile, "It's hard work Zhao Meiren." ”

Nanyan chuckled and sent Chang'an away.

When I arrived at the Mingde Palace, only He Sheng stood at the door outside the hall. Chang'an hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is the emperor inside?" ”

He Sheng leaned over respectfully, "The emperor is in the dormitory, and the mother can go in with the slaves." ”

Chang'an smiled and nodded, and went in with He Sheng.

As soon as the curtain was opened, I saw Cheng Dehai trotting out of the hall.

He saw that He Sheng was about to take Chang'an in, and his face gradually showed displeasure, "What are you doing here?" Without the permission of the miscellaneous family, who let you make your own decisions! ”

When He Sheng heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Cheng Dehai smiled again, and arched his hand to Chang'an, "Concubine Xian, the emperor is very drunk, and he has fallen asleep at the moment." At this time, I am afraid that it is inconvenient to get up. ”

When Chang'an heard that the emperor was very drunk, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Does it matter if the emperor wants it?" ”

Cheng Dehai looked respectful, smiled and said, "The emperor has drunk the sobering soup and is already asleep." Niangniang, please come back tomorrow. ”

Chang'an was relieved, and he didn't say too much, but said indifferently, "That troublesome father-in-law will take care of the emperor." ”

Cheng Dehai smiled deferentially, "That's nature." ”

Chang'an bowed slightly, and returned to the palace with cold smoke and evening incense. Cheng Dehai stood at the door, looking at Chang'an's figure until it disappeared, then turned his head and said sharply to He Sheng, "It's not that you want to watch it carefully, why did you let Concubine Xian come in!" ”

He Sheng arched his hand and said, "It's small, it's not." ”

"You keep an eye on the door, and don't let anyone in. The emperor needs to rest, and the miscellaneous family goes in first. After Cheng Dehai finished speaking, he glanced at him and crossed the threshold into the hall.

Cheng Dehai entered the hall and did not go directly to the main hall where the emperor was, but turned around and went around to the side hall. In the side hall, Zhong Yuxiu and Lan Xiang are already here. When Cheng Dehai saw Zhong Yuxiu, he hurriedly smiled with his hands, "Back to the little master, Concubine Xian Niangniang has already returned to the palace." ”

Zhong Yuxiu smiled gently, "Can you see which dress Concubine Xian is wearing today?" ”

Cheng Dehai's eyebrows jumped, his eyes swept over Zhong Yuxiu's vermilion pomegranate skirt, and said with a smile and flattery, "The slave can see clearly, it is the body on the little master, and it really looks like eight or nine points." ”

The corners of Zhong Yuxiu's mouth pulled up a cold arc, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting, she glanced at Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang hurriedly took out a heavy wooden box and stuffed it into Cheng Dehai's arms.

Cheng Dehai opened it and saw that it was completely full of ingots and silver, he had always known that Zhong Yuxiu was generous, but he didn't want it to be so generous, so he hurriedly leaned over and thanked him, "Thank you, little master!" ”

Zhong Yuxiu smiled quietly, "You have helped the palace so much, this is what you deserve." At the end, she gently brushed the ruby earrings hanging from her ears, and said in a deep voice, "You go to the door to show the palace, the palace is afraid that He Sheng's minion will not be used." ”

Cheng Dehai kowtowed, and said busily, "Yes, little master, the slave will go." ”

As soon as Cheng Dehai left, Zhong Yuxiu immediately instructed Lan Xiangdao, "You go to the imperial dining room and bring the decanting soup prepared by the palace." ”

Lan Xiang didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly went down.

Zhong Yuxiu sat in the hall, playing with the red jade ring between her fingers, and whispered with a sneer, "Shen Chang'an, this palace wants you to see who can have the last laugh." ”

Lan Xiang came out of the imperial dining room with the decanting soup prepared by Yuxiu in advance, and as soon as she walked to the palace road, she saw Zhao Meiren and Hexiang walking towards her.

Lan Xiang had a ghost in her heart, obviously startled, and hurriedly bent her knees to greet her and said, "The slave maid asks Zhao Meiren for peace." ”

Zhao Nanyan looked down at her, and when Lan Xiang raised her head, she saw her appearance clearly, and asked with a smile, "Are you the palace maid next to Zhong Jieyu?" It's so late, why are you still outside? ”

Lan Xiang was silent, and didn't dare to answer for a long time, but said, "Our little master...... Our little master was a little uncomfortable, so let the slave ...... Let's get some medicinal soup to ......."

When Nanyan heard this, she saw that she really had a bowl of soup and medicine in her hand, but it was really suspicious to see her like this. She thought about it carefully, Baihua Pavilion was hundreds of meters away from the imperial dining room, if Zhong Jieyu was really unwell, she could call the imperial doctor directly from the imperial hospital, why bother to come to the imperial dining room to get a bowl of unknown decoction?

As soon as she looked up after thinking about it, she found that the lights in the Mingde Palace were still on, and she already understood a little in her heart.

She chuckled lowly, "That's it, you get up quickly." Hurry up and send it to your little master, you will be punished if you are too late. ”

Lan Xiang was amnesty, quickly stood up and went south to smoke and blessed, and trotted away.

After Lan Xiang left, He Xiang frowned, attached to Nan Yan's ear and whispered, "Little master, I look at Lan Xiang's girl, it's really strange, what do you do to see people, there are ghosts in your heart......"

When Nanyan heard this, she sneered again and again, "It's not that this girl has a ghost in her heart. It's that her master has a ghost in his heart. After finishing speaking, she looked up at the brightly lit Mingde Palace, and said coldly, "What is she Zhong Yuxiu doing, can she not know this palace?" It's just a set of tricks left over from Hongu. Then let her go. After all, it has nothing to do with this palace. ”

When Hexiang heard this, her heart trembled, she had also heard a little about her favor when Zhao Meiren first entered the palace. She was born in the palace, without a father or mother, and now she can climb to this position, and she also gave birth to an emperor, she must rely on some unknown means. At this moment, when she thought about Fang Cai Lanxiang's actions again, she was already startled, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly helped Zhao Meiren back to the palace.

When Lan Xiang returned to the side hall of Mingde Palace again, Zhong Yuxiu was already in a hurry, and when she saw Lan Xiang coming back, she split her head and covered her face and said, "What's the matter with you!" It took so long to come back! If the emperor wakes up later, the palace will be finished! ”

Lan Xiang was startled, hurriedly put the decanting soup on the table, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Little master, the slave didn't mean it, but on the way back just now, I met Zhao Meiren......"

"Zhao Meiren?" Zhong Yuxiu thought about it carefully, and suddenly smiled, "Is that the subordinate who gave birth to the emperor in the Yunyan Pavilion and is not favored?" At last, her face suddenly changed, and she said vigilantly, "Did she ask you something?" ”

Lan Xiang fell to the ground, frightened, "She asked the slave where she was going...... What are you going to do......"

"And what do you say?"

"The slave said that the little master was uncomfortable, so let the slave and maid come and get the decoction......"

"Useless stuff!" Zhong Yuxiu slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "Can she believe what you say!" Now she probably began to suspect Hongu as well......"

Lan Xiang was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, and knelt in front of Zhong Yuxiu, already with tears in her eyes.

Zhong Yuxiu saw Lan Xiang shed tears, and knew in her heart that it was not her fault that this matter was not her fault, so she gradually calmed down her anger, and her tone softened a little, "That's it, Zuo is just a beauty, and her position is below the palace, so it doesn't hurt to know." Get up, go to the door and keep watch, the palace won't call you, you won't be allowed to come in, do you hear clearly? ”

Lan Xiang was already frightened at this time, so she hurriedly got up and went to the door.

Seeing that no one was inside, Zhong Yuxiu gently took off her outer clothes, unbuttoned the two buttons of her inner clothes, showed her shoulders slightly, picked up the sobering soup on the table, and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, Chu Luo was leaning on the dragon couch, not very drunk, but still a little sober. He saw the bead curtain at the entrance of the hall move, and a scarlet female figure flashed in, and he hurriedly stood up to look.

The woman outside the hall was dressed in a vermilion color long gauze skirt and weft, her shoulders were cut into a waist, and her muscles were like condensed fat and her air was like a quiet orchid. Fold the waist to micro-step, showing the wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water, the waves are flowing forward, a brocade-like long hair is tied into a falling moon hairpin with a red jade coral hairpin, and a row of pendant glass curtains are inserted under the hairpan, which is more charming and graceful, and the elegant jade face is painted with light plum blossom makeup.

Zhong Yuxiu had been prepared for a long time, and even her accessories tonight were exactly the same as Shen Chang'an's in the palace.

Chu Luo squinted his eyes to look, and when he saw her vermilion pomegranate dress, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly got up to grab her, "Chang'an, Chang'an, don't you go......"

Zhong Yuxiu's heart hurt as if she was being pulled by life, she put down the sobering soup, gently leaned over to help Chu Luo, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." ”

The corners of Chu Luo's lips smiled slightly, but he still held her wrist tightly and refused to let go, "Chang'an, you have to believe me, I didn't get promoted to her position because I liked Zhong Yuxiu, it's really ......"

When Zhong Yuxiu heard this, she was still calm, she was already trembling with anger, she hurriedly took the decanting soup, took the spoon and fed it to Chu Luo's mouth, "Come, Your Majesty, drink this bowl of decanting soup first." ”

Chu Luo smiled warmly, and drank a whole bowl of decanting soup with her hand, and at the end, he grabbed her hand and put it on his lips, and said with a firm and calm love in his eyes, "Chang'an, you are the only one in my heart from beginning to end...... You're the only one ......."

Before he finished speaking, he felt groggy in his head, and he tried desperately to open his eyes and stay awake, but he couldn't.

At this time, Zhong Yuxiu was twelve points sober, she listened coldly to Chu Luo constantly talking about how to love Shen Changan, and sneered again and again.

It turns out that I tried my best to please you, but you still think about her all the time.

She leaned over Chu Luo's chest and murmured, "Your Majesty, look at me, I'm Yuxiu, you see where I'm not as good as Shen Chang'an......"

At this moment, Chu Luo was already unconscious, and he could only smell a little voice, but he couldn't hear what she was saying at all, so he asked out loud, "Chang'an, what did you just say......

Zhong Yuxiu will never forget that night, Chu Luo locked her tightly in the bed, eagerly ripped open her clothes, and gnawed on her like crazy, running over her skin, leaving a little trace of love, as if to merge her with herself, the inky black hair was entangled with her hair, Zhong Yuxiu, who felt the pain, tightened her arms and brought her carcass closer to Chu Luo. After all, it was her first time in bed. During the lingering, Chu Luo kept repeating in her ear: "Chang'an, I love you." At this time, Zhong Yuxiu was also confused, and the ghost replied: "Your Majesty, the concubines love you very much......

But Chu Luo didn't realize at this time that Chang'an would never call himself a concubine.
