"Yes, Sister Xuezhu. You think so too, and ah, the emperor said that Qin Liusu committed suicide like this, I really don't believe it, I haven't even seen her body, so I think there must be something strange in this. Chen Yanxue said with certainty.

"But Cher, don't talk about it in a big way." Shi Xuezhu, who was thoughtful, immediately reminded Chen Yanxue:

"Since the emperor has issued a decree prohibiting everyone from discussing Qin Liusu's affairs anymore, there must be secrets he wants to hide, so whether Qin Liusu is still alive or dead, we can't mention it again, the best thing to do is to pray for her in our hearts."

Hearing Shi Xuezhu say this, Chen Yanxue also thought it was reasonable, although she didn't know how to reply to her, she nodded again and again.

"Sister Xuezhu, in this way, wouldn't we have to be more careful about that Wang Xiaojun, looking at the way she usually treats Qin Liusu, this encounter with an assassin, maybe she deliberately harmed Qin Liusu."

"I heard that the assassin is a man and a woman, but it's a pity that I didn't catch them, otherwise things wouldn't have developed like this, and Qin Liusu wouldn't have ......"

There is always such a feeling, but Shi Xuezhu still said to Chen Yanxue again: "Xue'er, let's treat this matter as if it were in the past, no matter how the emperor decides, he has his intentions, and we can't change it." Since we are in this house, we will have more and more bodies that cannot help ourselves, and everything will be at ease with what happens. ”

"Cher understood." Chen Yanxue understood, nodded again, and then asked Shi Xuezhu again: "But Sister Xuezhu, you said, Qin Liusu is not here now, will Wang Xiaojun target us?" ”

Shi Xuezhu listened, and only replied to her indifferently: "In this harem where everyone fights for food, it is impossible for her not to target us, and her title is just below you and me." However, if she really wants to deal with us, we can't stop it, all we can do is protect ourselves......"

Before Shi Xuezhu finished speaking, the two saw Dugu Yi passing by here and walking towards the two of them.

After the two of them saluted Dugu Yi and said goodbye, Dugu Yi first glanced at the two of them, and then looked at the plaque engraved with the words "Zhong Cui Palace" in front of him, and did not speak.

Seeing Dugu Yi's realization like this, Shi Xuezhu seemed to understand what he meant, and then said to him: "I walked by here with Sister Xue'er, and when I saw the appearance of this Zhongcui Palace, I really missed Sister Yunfei. ”

Chen Yanxue on the side was still very surprised by what Shi Xuezhu said, she didn't understand why Shi Xuezhu had just told him that he should not openly mention anything about Qin Liusu in the future, why he would have the courage to mention Qin Liusu in front of Dugu Yi now.

Unexpectedly, Duguyi didn't say anything, but just asked Shi Xuezhu: "How is your health lately, do you feel unwell?" ”

Hearing that he was so concerned, Shi Xuezhu was not surprised, but replied to him with a smile: "The concubine has been feeling very good recently, and the emperor is worried." ”

"That's good." Dugu Yi also replied to Shi Xuezhu like this, and when she saw Chen Yanxue standing next to her, she smiled and said to the two of them: "I knew that you two sisters have a deep friendship, and you two are the most trusted people in the widow's daily life. ”

Listening to Duguyi's words, the sisters were very happy, and there was a smile on their faces.

"The emperor said so, and the concubines were also very happy." Chen Yanxue couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, the emperor, the emperor loves us sisters so much, and we must be grateful to the emperor." Shi Xuezhu smiled, then glanced at Zhong Cui Palace beside him, and said to Dugu Yi:

"It's just that the emperor came to this harem for something, the two of us are just going to the garden to relax, so we won't trip the emperor."

"Okay, then you two should go first, the widow is about to leave." After that, Dugu Yi got up and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Shi Xuezhu again: "If the widow is not mistaken, is the queen's birthday coming soon?" ”

Shi Xuezhu listened, and immediately replied to him: "The emperor remembers correctly, the birth date of the concubine is the same as that of the emperor, and it is also in September. ”

"Okay, the widow knows." With that, he left, and Chen Yanxue and Shi Xuezhu continued to walk towards the garden.

To say how much Duguyi loves Shi Xuezhu, in Chen Yanxue's eyes, the word "care" should actually be used instead of the word "pampered".

How much Dugu Yi cares about Shi Xuezhu, apart from the two of them, I'm afraid only Chen Yanxue understands.

She is Shi Xuezhu's closest sister, she knows all the secrets of Shi Xuezhu, and she also knows the secrets of the two of them.

She also knew that even if the child in Shi Xuezhu's belly was not Duguyi, he still cared so much about Shi Xuezhu and kept this secret for her.

All this, Duguyi's heart for Shi Xuezhu, Chen Yanxue has long known.

However, if it weren't for the first time standing next to the two of them today, it would be the first time to feel the pain of watching the man I love love pampering another woman.

For the first time, she felt that where there were Shi Xuezhu and Duguyi, she was superfluous.

Chen Yanxue will not feel that compared to the happiness of her good sister Shi Xuezhu, her love for Duguyi seems to make her care more.

Although walking with Shi Xuezhu in the back garden and admiring the flowers, Chen Yanxue was a little absent-minded. It was also when she saw the scene that Duguyi treated Shi Xuezhu today, and her heart had some ups and downs.

is also a person in the harem, and they all have to obey the holy order and not mention anything about Concubine Yun, but Shi Xuezhu can be so indifferent in front of Dugu Yi, and Dugu Yi not only did not blame her, but cared about her very much.

is also as Duguyi's beloved concubine, the difference between her and Shi Xuezhu is only the title of a queen and an imperial concubine.

Chen Yanxue never cared about the title of queen, but for her birthday, let alone remember, Dugu Yi never even asked her. Thinking of this, Chen Yanxue's heart couldn't help but feel a little colder.

"Your Majesty, haven't you been to the palace of your concubines for a long time? Especially after the concubine was promoted to the queen, this seems to be your first time in this Fengluan Palace. ”

Snuggled in Duguyi's arms, Shi Xuezhu said to him calmly and gently.

"Snow bamboo." Dugu Yi sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Shi Xuezhu in his arms, stroked her head and said to her: "In the future, we will not call ourselves concubines in private, and in the future, we will be the same as when we were outside the palace before, there are only you and me in private." ”

Shi Xuezhu listened, then raised his head and said to Duguyi:

"Your Majesty, Xue Zhu doesn't care about these titles, Xue Zhu knows that you are busy, the huge harem can't run, how much time the emperor and his concubines can spend alone in private, and the concubines themselves know that the title of "you and me", the concubines still don't want it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to change my mouth if I shout too much, and I'm not used to changing. ”

"What, my queen mother, are you blaming me for spending too little time with you?" Hearing this, Dugu Yi immediately smiled at her jokingly.

"Your Majesty, don't make trouble! You know I didn't mean that. Shi Xuezhu also learned Dugu Yi and replied with a smile.

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing, Duguyi was able to hold Shi Xuezhu tightly in his arms again, still caressing her head.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what are you doing today to ask your concubine for her birthday?" Thinking of this, Shi Xuezhu asked Dugu Yi curiously.

"This one...... The widow is about to say it. The widow is going to hold a small banquet for you on your birthday, and he is still in the imperial garden, so he only invites the concubines in the harem, and the widow also takes this opportunity to tell them that you already have the widow's child in your belly.

Duguyi's decision suddenly surprised Shi Xuezhu. It's not that she was flattered, but Duguyi's love for her reminded her of that unbearable memory.

Duguyi doesn't care about this matter anymore, but as the mother of the child in her womb, she can't let go of it.

"Your Majesty...... You...... What are you going to tell them? Concubines...... The concubine was still a little afraid. ”

Hearing her ask, Dugu Yi comforted her and said, "You don't have to worry about this, the widow will figure out how to tell everyone." As for you, as long as you take good care of your body, give birth to this child safely, and add more children to the widow in the future. ”

Hearing Duguyi's words, Shi Xuezhu also calmed down, didn't say anything, and still snuggled into Duguyi's arms.

The two got along for a while, and when they saw that it was not too early, Dugu Yi said to Shi Xuezhu again: "Xuezhu, it's not early, you should rest early." ”

After that, Dugu Yi stood up and helped Shi Xuezhu to let her lie down.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, aren't you going to spend the night here tonight?" Seeing Dugu Yi acting like this, Shi Xuezhu couldn't help but sit up and ask him, and the expression on his face suddenly became unnatural.

"Snow bamboo." Dugu Yi just helped her fold the quilt, and then sat on the edge of the bed and said to her:

"You heard from the widow that the imperial doctor has told you that you are weak and need to be carefully protected, and the fetus in the attached middle school has not yet passed the danger period, so the widow can't joke with your life, so the widow won't spend the night here tonight."

Hearing Duguyi say this, Shi Xuezhu didn't want to say anything anymore, but he hesitated again and again, and still asked Duguyi: "Then the emperor ...... Are you going back to the Qing Palace? Or, which concubine's palace is the emperor going to? ”

"Xuezhu, the widow will not tell you half a lie if he hides anything from anyone, the widow doesn't go anywhere else, but he hasn't been to see Xue'er for a long time, and the widow will go to her today."

"Yes...... That's right. Shi Xuezhu hesitated, endured a little emotion in his heart, and replied to Dugu Yi: "Then the emperor, go quickly, it's not too early." ”

"Then you should rest early." Dugu Yi raised the corners of his mouth, said this to Shi Xuezhu gently, and then turned around and went out.

Looking at the back of Duguyi's departure, Shi Xuezhu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Duguyi's love and concern for her really made her feel endless happiness. But behind this happiness, she also has her own sadness.

Touching his slightly bulging abdomen, thinking about the unknown fetus in his belly, Shi Xuezhu didn't know whether to love it or hate it.

This child is a symbol of her painful memories, but it also verifies Duguyi's love for her.

This fetus is a child recognized by Duguyi, but it has also invisibly become a barrier between her and Duguyi.

When she saw Dugu Yi coming to her palace, Chen Yanxue was still as happy as ever.

It's the same look as every time I see Dugu Yi, and I'm greeted by her smiling face full of joy and happiness, beautiful and not boring.

If it weren't for the fact that her father was Chen Ping, Duguyi might have doted on her Chen Yanxue even more.

But on the contrary, it is precisely because her father is Cheng Chen Ping, and she is such a Chen Yanxue, Duguyi is even more different from her.

"Your Majesty, it's already so late, ...... Why did you come back here. Chen Yanxue, who has always been straightforward, asked curiously.

"What, concubine...... Don't you welcome the widow over, isn't it because you see the widow that you are smiling so happily? Duguyi deliberately teased her.
