From a distance, I saw two figures who wanted to come this way, one was tall and handsome and the other was gentle and beautiful, standing far away and couldn't hear what the two were saying, but it could only be seen from the bright smile on Lin Cairen's face that the two talked happily, and a group of palace people behind them accompanied them.

is a picture of love for each other, Chu Junxi couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Master." Linglong whispered to her, "It's windy here, let's go back." ”

"Let's go." Chu Jun turned around.

"Ning Jieyu."

The sweet voice behind him came from afar, and Chu Jun regretted that he had to stay.

Lin Cairen and the emperor walked over slowly, "I'm afraid that I will see it wrong, but I didn't expect it to be really Sister Ning, what a coincidence." Lin Cairen said happily, she was decent and elegant, and she didn't seem to be proud of the emperor's favor.

Chu Junxi raised his head, a beautiful woman like a flower and jade appeared in front of him, wearing a hibiscus-colored juan gauze gold silk embroidered long skirt, a plain ribbon around the waist, a piece of glazed jade pendant with luster on the left side hung on the waist, brocade-like long hair tied into a falling moon bun, red bead hairpin, silver tassel fluttering ear side, white jade earrings on the ear, and the silver silk double buckle bracelet on the right hand reflect each other, the corner of the mouth is an elegant smile, charming and moving, like a fairy does not eat the fireworks of the world.

"Lin Cairen."

Lin Cairen stepped forward, came to Chu Junxi's side, and said with a smile, "Sister Ning rarely goes out, I didn't expect to let me meet her, my luck is so good, right?" Lin Cairen turned his head and asked what the emperor meant.

"If you have nothing to do, come out for a walk, I won't disturb Lin Cairen and the emperor's Yaxing."

Lin Cairen grabbed Chu Junxi, who turned around and wanted to leave, "Since you have nothing to do, why don't we go to the garden together." ”

Chu Junxi's first reaction was to look at the emperor, the other party looked leisurely, and didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two. If he doesn't go for some reason, he will definitely make Lin Cairen think that he is jealous and disdainful of being with the other party, and then take the opportunity to make things difficult for himself. She just wants to take the opportunity to show off to herself, to be proud, and to fulfill her by herself.

"If Lin Cairen doesn't dislike me, disturb you and the emperor."

The three of them walked around the garden together, the atmosphere was still harmonious, Lin Cairen snuggled up to the emperor and chatted, elated, Chu Junxi followed behind and was silent like a subordinate, Lin Cairen occasionally turned back to ask a word or two, Chu Junxi nodded yes.

Lin Jikuo came from the white arch, attached his ear to Yuan Yongyan, and separated after a while, and Yuan Yongyan left with him. After he left, only Lin Cai and Chu Junxi were left.

"Hou Yan must have a lot of differences from Gutuo, right?" Lin Cai is humane.

Chu Junxi didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while, "The so-called hundreds of miles are different, and the customs are different, and there will definitely be differences." ”

Lin Cairen nodded, "People are very curious about novel things, this is human nature, Ning Jieyu should be able to understand, right?" ”

"Nature can." Chu Junxi understood the meaning of her words, she was from a different country, did she mean that the emperor was infatuated with her for a while? "I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I took my leave."

Lin Cairen looked at Chu Jun and went away, and suddenly sank his face, a concubine who had fallen out of favor still dared to be arrogant in front of her, and one day she would make her look good.

Passing by Qingshui Pond, Chu Junxi saw the eldest princess again. She stood by the pool, looking at the weeping willows by the river, spring had not yet arrived, the weeping willows only had dry branches, and some of the branches were submerged in the lake, and the breeze wrinkled the lake water, stirring up a circle of ripples. Chu Jun stopped unconsciously.

Linglong said, "That's the eldest princess, the master is the first time I've seen it, right?" ”

Chu Jun was noncommittal, "I always feel that she seems to have something on her mind, and there is a faint sadness between her eyebrows. ”

"The eldest princess may be waiting for someone."

Chu Junxi was a little surprised, Linglong actually knew about the eldest princess, "Wait for someone?" ”

"Hmm." Linglong nodded, as if she was also feeling sorry for the eldest princess, and frowned slightly, "The eldest princess used to fall in love with General Qin, the youngest son of the late Old General Qin, and it had reached the point of talking about marriage, but for some reason General Qin suddenly left." ”

"Gone?"

"Gone, no one knows where he went, no one can find him."

Chu Jun was sad, and suddenly left his lover and left, the person who left must have his hardships and last resort, leaving only the rest of the people to stay in his hometown, guarding the memories of the past, there are tears that can't be shed, and there is no one to complain.

"After General Qin left, I haven't seen the eldest princess smile."

The same heartache, which one hurts more than that?

Do you have the right to be sad? He came to protect Hou Yan's safety, and he was a tool for Hou Yan to protect the country, and no one would care about the feelings of a tool.

The red candle dripped tears, as if mourning.

The food on the table was not moved, and Chu Junxi put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Take it down." ”

"Won't the master eat? You didn't move. Linglong was a little worried, since he came back from the imperial garden with the emperor and Lin Cairen, the master was not quite right, sitting there alone without saying or moving, like a stone.

"I'm not hungry."

"Is the master thinking about the emperor?" Linglong said tentatively.

Chu Junxi turned his head to look at her, as if puzzled, the candlelight hit her side face and plated her with a soft aperture, making her look extremely weak, "Your Majesty? ”

"Isn't the master thinking about the emperor?"

Chu Jun bowed his head, he was indeed thinking about the emperor, but he was not jealous and jealous as Linglong thought. Yuan Yuheng let himself poison the emperor, and it would be better for the emperor not to come here these days, but it is not a way to drag it on like this.

"Concubine Ai hasn't answered the question just now." Relaxed with a playful voice, Yuan Yongyan came in from outside. In the afternoon, in the imperial garden, he wore a blue-gray brocade robe, and at this time changed into a sky-blue robe.

"Your Majesty." Linglong quietly retreated.

Yuan Yongyan sat down on the carved chair and looked at the dishes on the table, "The dinner hour has passed, and you haven't had dinner yet?" ”

"Not hungry." Chu Junxi blurted out, and after finishing speaking, he found that his tone was as if he was jealous and dissatisfied.

Yuan Yongyan chuckled and waved her hand, and the maid next to her took down the meal.

"Aifei, is this jealous?"

Chu Junxi's face flushed, and he stammered, "No, no." ”

"No?" Yuan Yongyan's tone rose, as if she was dissatisfied.

Chu Jun lowered his head, "The emperor is everyone's emperor, and it should have been wet with rain and dew, how could the concubines be angry." ”

"I've been very interested in poetry these days, but I didn't expect Lin Cairen to be a talented woman, I don't know if Concubine Ai has any research on poetry?"

"Concubines don't understand poetry." There are countless beauties in the harem, dignified, demure, outstanding in literature, and elegant in temperament, the emperor can't find what he wants, he is old-fashioned and boring, how can he like himself.

Yuan Yongyan said, "I've been here for so long, and the concubine hasn't served tea yet." ”

Chu Jun was shocked, raised her eyes, and the light in her eyes trembled. Yuan Yongyan played with the teacup in her hand, not noticing what a shocking thing she said.

"Tea, the tea was finished yesterday, so ......" His hand touched the hard porcelain bottle in his sleeve, and Chu Junxi felt that his heartbeat began to be unstable.

"There is no tea, there is always water."

"Yes." Chu Junxi walked to the back hall, in the quiet hall, as if he could hear his heartbeat, he walked to the corner and turned around, the emperor sat on the couch, he had already put down the teacup in his hand, and picked up the book he had put on the table.

The clear reflection of her own shadow in the cup, Chu Junxi put down the gold-painted teapot, and found that her hand was trembling uncontrollably, she held her left hand tightly with her right hand, and her nervous beating heart slowly calmed down.

The white bottle glowed softly in the candlelight, and inside was deadly poison, and she gently uncorked it.

"Your Majesty, please use water."

"Hmm." Yuan Yongyan didn't answer, looked down at Zhenlong on the chessboard, and after the thousand-layer pagoda was unlocked, Chu Junxi placed another one on the chessboard, "Put it there." ”

"Yes." Chu Junxi placed the teacup on his right hand.

"I didn't expect Concubine Ai to love Zhenlong very much."

"It's just a matter of passing the time with nothing to do."

Yuan Yongyan raised her head and reached for the teacup. Chu Junxi's eyes followed his movements, his heart hung in the air, one would be higher and one would be lower, and when he saw him holding up the teacup, his eyes didn't dare to blink, and his breathing became cautious.

Yuan Yongyan took a sip of the water in the cup, put the cup back on the table, and then lowered her head to study Zhenlong, "Does Concubine Ai have a clue?" ”

The emperor drank the water he poured, indicating that he did not send someone to monitor Xinyueju, otherwise he would not have drunk it knowing that the water was poisonous. How would he feel if he knew he had poisoned him?
