"But the heroes and heroes in the book have repeatedly risked their lives for the sake of the world, and the sons and daughters thought that this was really a rash move. My father is the true son of heaven, and this world has long been destined to be yours, and other people who claim to be heroes should be loyal to them, how can they want to usurp the world in vain. Simon said respectfully.

Xia Ye'er felt funny when she heard what he said, this Ximen Chengdao's words were like a child's words, where it was like the words of a prince who was very deep in the city. Looking at his eyes, they are full of humility and respect, but they seem to come from the heart.

The emperor also stared at him for a long time before he looked away, but he laughed loudly, and then said: "This reckless world is nothing but Erer for me, I am the destiny of heaven, and I am blessed by the gods. ”

"The son will live up to his father's teachings." The emperor just said that, there was something in the words, Ximen Chengdao listened attentively, and replied obediently without showing a half-strange look on his face.

"Is this girl used to living in the palace?" The emperor suddenly looked at Xia Ye'er, changed his words, and asked.

Xia Ye'er nodded, glanced at Ximen Chengdao, and said, "Thanks to the care of the third prince, everyone is very thoughtful in serving." ”

Ximen Chengdao had already heard her complaint, smiled slightly, and said: "She will leave the palace with her brother in two days, and the sons also persuade the two of them to stay longer, but they can't stay!" ”

"Hmm-" When the emperor heard this, he thought about it, but he didn't say anything more.

Everyone drank and talked like this, and in the evening, the emperor returned to the palace with Concubine Rong, and Ximen Chengdao sent Xia Ye'er back.

"Which play are you singing today?" Xia Ye'er asked as she entered the house.

Ximen Chengdao smiled slightly, and did not answer, but said: "You can live here with peace of mind, and you will naturally know in the future." ”

"What if I don't live in peace?" Xia Ye'er stared into his eyes and asked rhetorically.

"You will." A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said confidently, and then turned to leave.

Xia Ye'er watched his back disappear into the night, and a strange emotion appeared in her heart.

And at this moment, in another part of the palace, a charming woman sneaked out of the boudoir and crept to the woods behind the house, where a man had been waiting for a long time.

"The old man is asleep?" The man couldn't wait to take the woman into his arms and asked indignantly.

"Shhhhh......h "The speaker is Qiu Duo'er, who has just finished sleeping.

The man snorted disdainfully and said, "I am the crown prince, his position will be mine sooner or later, I only hate this old guy's long life, so I have to wait for a while." ”

"That's how you want to be emperor?" The woman chuckled.

"I want you to be my imperial concubine as soon as possible!" The man's eyes were instantly full of tenderness, and he hugged the woman in his arms tighter.

The woman buried her head gently, but the moment she lowered her head, there was a cold look in her eyes.

In this cold deep palace, there are crises surging everywhere......

In the blink of an eye, Xia Ye'er had been in the palace for several days, during which she almost stayed at home, locking herself in the room, until one day, the maidservant told her that a special guest was coming, she was slightly stunned, and immediately opened the door to welcome the guest.

"Is that you?" She said lightly.

"Seems like you expected it?" With a soft and gentle voice, Concubine Rong walked into the room in a pale pink dress.

"You ......" Xia Ye'er just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by her.

"That's right, I'm Qiu Duo'er." She smiled slightly and said: "She is also the emperor's concubine, if you see me in the future, you also need to treat me with courtesy, the situation is urgent that day, I have to make this decision, in case it is exposed, I think you and I will both die in Huangquan." ”

Xia Ye'er nodded and asked, "The emperor doesn't know where you came from?" ”。

"Yes." Qiu Duo'er said lightly: "I am Xia Yingrong, the daughter of Xia Zhongshouzhi, the assassin of Yecheng. ”

Xia Ye'er sighed lightly and said, "After entering the palace, are you okay?" ”

Qiu Duoer couldn't help but smile and said, "Listen to me say this, but don't ask, you should be the only one in the world!" ”

"Where, you have a reason, I just think, hiding your identity like this, in this palace full of crises, you must have suffered a lot!" Xia Ye'er's expression flashed with some concern.

"In my memory, Xia Ye'er, you don't care about anyone's life and death, why do you ask me how I am doing today?" Qiu Duoer was a little emotional.

Xia Ye'er pursed her lips and said, "Indeed, in the past few years of living in the Smoke Pavilion, I have never cared about anyone else, except for you and Duo'er. Duo'er is a sister who grew up with me since childhood, and you are the first and only one I have ever met with a heart...... Friend. ”

Qiu Duoer was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "We are all hard-working people, but we are also very similar, we can give up anything and do anything for our goals." Remember the first time we met? I asked you why you came to the Smoke Pavilion, you told me you were looking for someone, can you tell me who that person is now? ”

Xia Ye'er shook her head.

"Did you find it?" Qiu Duoer seemed to know that she would not tell her, and then asked.

Xia Ye'er lowered her eyebrows, but a figure flashed in her mind, she thought for a moment, and said, "When I meet someone, it's very similar." ”

Qiu Duoer smiled and said, "Now that I am the emperor's favorite concubine, if there is anything I need help with, just tell me." ”

"Why are you helping me?" Xia Ye'er was puzzled.

"Because...... You are also the first and only one you have ever met with a heart-to-heart ...... Friend. Qiu Duoer said with a smile.

Xia Ye'er looked into her eyes and nodded.

Qiu Duo'er paused, a touch of pathos flashed in her eyes, and said, "Time is short, if I can help you, tell me earlier." ”

"Dragon's Blood Crystal." Xia Ye'er blurted out, "I want you to help me find a dragon blood crystal." ”

"Dragon's Blood Crystal?" Qiu Duoer muttered and repeated, nodded, and said, "Today I came to see you, one is to solve the confusion of the day, and the other is to continue the sisterhood, I will take your affairs to heart - I still have something to do, Zou first." After speaking, he smiled and turned to leave.

Xia Ye'er stood in place, and what lingered in her heart was her sentence "time is short" and the sadness that spread in her eyes.

Before Xia Ye'er woke up from this deep doubt, there was a hustle and bustle outside the window, interrupting her thoughts, she walked slowly to the window, but saw that it was lively outside, with people coming and going.
