Liang Yue took two steps back and pushed the emperor away, lowered her head and thought about it, and said, "It's right to exchange one thing for another, and it's fair." But what price can the concubine pay if she has no long things? ”

Her expression was extremely serious, and she couldn't help but see the emperor cry and laugh. It's because he didn't think it through, Gu Liangyue's brain, can he expect her to understand what mood is?

He stepped forward, holding his hand on the window behind him, and encircled the little woman in his arms. Xuanyuan Zili sighed, and it was rare to explain to her, so he directly clasped the back of Liang Yue's head and continued to kiss deeply.

It's been a long time since I've been quiet with her. There are a lot of chores these days, and he tries his best to find time to see her. Sometimes passing by the Qianyuan Palace and going to the front hall, I saw her standing quietly at the door of the main hall, and I couldn't go up to hug her. Every time she came back at night, she had already fallen asleep, although she didn't sleep as much as before, but after she became pregnant, Liangyue's sleep was indeed much better, and she was never woken up again.

With a low sigh of satisfaction, the emperor opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms who had opened his eyes wide in surprise, her eyes were still bright as if they were full of moonlight, and they made people want to go deeper.

"It's... Price? Liang Yue raised her eyebrows, tilted her head and looked at Emperor Mingxuan and said, "It's much easier than before when you always wanted my life." ”

The emperor snorted, pressed Liang Yue's head on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Gu Liangyue, who was so cold that people couldn't get close before, where would people think that you couldn't do anything." Besides, at that time, I thought that the Third Emperor Brother was killed by you, so I was particularly cruel to you. ”

I am also glad that it is her, such a tough woman, who has resisted so many hardships and can still be by his side. If there was really one time she didn't survive, now, she can't be in his arms.

"You're taking my breath out of my breath." Liang Yue muttered and pushed the emperor.

Xuanyuan Zi let go of her a little. Liang Yue raised her head, hesitated for a while, and still asked suspiciously: "Can I know what kind of mentality you had towards Situ Ning?" When I looked at it, anyone thought that His Majesty loved her miserably. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said with a slight displeasure: "You ask those what they do." ”

Situ Ning is now wanted in the whole country, Situ Mansion has also been sealed, most of the ministers of the former dynasty are in prison, and basically no one dares to mention the former queen who escaped from the palace. Only Qing Jue will report to him every day about the wanted situation.

"Because I always feel that you have loved her deeply, and even put me to death countless times because of her." Liang Yue smiled bitterly, lowered her eyes and said, "I just want to ask clearly, if you don't want to say it, then forget it." ”

Xuanyuan Zili pursed her lips, looked at Liang Yue's expression, and remembered many things from before. She wanted to ask if it was right, after all, for Situ Ning's sake, he used to be so excessive.

"Situ Ning saved me, you should know." Emperor Mingxuan said lightly: "At that time, the harem Mu Guifei was dominant, and she was pregnant with a dragon son, the status of the mother concubine was in jeopardy, and the Murong family was very low-key, so if the help of the Situ family was pushed away, it would be difficult for the mother concubine and me to be saved." ”

"These are what the mother concubine later asked Aunt Peony to tell me, when I came back from the pond, I ignored Situ Ning, but the mother concubine came to tell me a lot of things. So the next day, I went to Situ Mansion to take care of Situ Ning according to my mother's thoughts. ”

"Later, Situ Ning insisted on marrying me as a concubine, although he was happy to get the help of the Situ family, but General Situ said that he would wait for her to be fifteen on the grounds that Situ Ning was too young. At that time, it was a critical moment for me to compete for power with the eldest prince, and the Situ family chose neutrality and self-protection to defend the frontier, and I was not reluctant, I just said that when Situ Ning came back, I could make her a concubine. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor paused and said lightly: "At that time, I just felt that Situ Ning met the conditions for being a princess, and I also took advantage of the situation to win over the Situ family." If you talk about love, you really don't have half a point, at most I remember that she saved me once. But before men, I must love her deeply, and there is no other better way. ”

Liang Yue was stunned when she heard this, and she probably knew what was going on. I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart, I can pretend to be disliked if I like it, but I can't pretend to be as deep as the sea if I don't love it, sure enough, the people of the emperor's family are all born plays?

"Do you care about the past?" Xuanyuan Zili looked at Liang Yue and asked in a low voice.

Liang Yue shook her head, if she really cared too much, she wouldn't be with him now, but...

"I can't tell for a moment whether you really like me now, or if you're pretending." Liang Yue said distressedly: "I have never been good at distinguishing these. Senior Brother and Master also said that if I have half a bit of sensitivity to emotional matters, I won't worry them. ”

The emperor's face sank, and he glared at Liang Yue fiercely and said, "Can't tell the difference? Can't you tell if I'm true or false now? ”

Liang Yue nodded seriously and said, "You are very good to me now, which is very different from before, so I am also wondering, when did you like me?" ”

The emperor gritted his teeth in anger, and he had no choice but to say angrily about this person: "It was a long, long time ago. ”

He didn't know exactly when, maybe it was the moment she stepped into the deep palace, maybe it was the moment when she was wearing a wedding dress and he was a concubine, or the moment they met a long time ago, and he saw her stubborn appearance in the carriage.

Liang Yue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help pouting. A long time ago, he was still very bad to her, so from this point of view, I really don't know what the emperor's affection looks like.

"After the price has been paid, can the concubine retire?" Liang Yue wanted to go back and discuss it with Senior Brother.

The emperor pursed his lips, and there was just another sound of Sixi reporting outside the hall, his hand was slightly released, and Liang Yue flashed to the door of the main hall, glanced back at the emperor, and then opened the door and went out.

"What should I do with you?" Xuanyuan Zili sighed helplessly.

Liang Yue walked out of the palace gate, but saw a woman standing outside, she was startled, and couldn't help but stop and take a few looks.

The woman's hair was in a high bun, with a gold pendant hanging on her forehead, a pair of bright moons in her ears, red lips with Dan, and her eyebrows swept lightly, she was also a first-class beauty. Seeing Liangyue come out, she was slightly stunned, and then knelt down and said, "Concubine Mu of Yongle Palace, please say hello to Niangniang." ”

Mu Concubine? Liang Yue paused, and then thought that this was the daughter of General Mu who had just entered the palace as they said? It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I came in, I was a concubine, which was too abrupt. This woman is polite and polite, and she looks comfortable, but at this time, how can she ask to see her in the imperial study?

"Calm down, this palace hasn't seen you yet, today is the first time, if Concubine Mu is free, you can also come to Qianyuan Palace to have a look."

Mu was stunned, Qianyuan Palace? Isn't that the emperor's bedroom? So the one in front of you is Concubine Yue? No wonder they stay in the Imperial Study.

"Yue Guifei Niangniang Wan'an, the concubine is clumsy, she failed to recognize Niangniang, and she hopes that Niangniang will forgive her sins." Mu Concubine bowed again before getting up, did not look directly at Liangyue, only bowed her head and said: "The concubine also asked to see the emperor, so I won't say more to the mother." I must go to the Niangniang Palace to make amends another day. ”

Liang Yue nodded, watching her pass by her and go to the imperial study, feeling a little strange in her heart, but she didn't dwell on it much, and went back to Qianyuan Palace directly.

The emperor looked at the people who came in, and said with a slight smile: "Why did you come here at this time?" ”

Mu bowed and said in a low voice: "The concubine has something to discuss with Your Majesty, so she took the liberty to ask to see her." ”

…

"That Mu Concubine doesn't seem to be a simple person." Aunt Peony walked behind Liang Yue and said in a low voice: "The palace I entered a few days ago, Your Majesty didn't go to see it because I accompanied you. But yesterday she blocked His Majesty on the way to the next court, and after saying something, His Majesty's lunch went to Yongle Palace. ”

Liang Yue listened, silent. Peony continued:

"Although General Mu is not as powerful as General Situ, he is also a fierce general among the elders of the two dynasties, if the emperor has the help of the Mu family and fights with the Situ family, the chances of victory will be much more. Now that the border has been settled, General Situ has returned to the dynasty as if he didn't know anything. But in this way, the emperor has no way to avoid it, and he must be prepared. ”

"Auntie." Liang Yue stopped with a smile, looked back at Peony and said, "Are you telling me that you have to prepare in advance, Your Majesty will definitely spoil that woman?" ”

Peony was silent and lowered her eyes. It is inevitable and necessary for the emperor to favor Mu Concubine. It's just that the relationship with Concubine Yue is just right now, if there are twists and turns, how uncomfortable should Liangyue be?

Liang Yue continued to walk forward, with a bit of mockery in her eyes: "If it is really necessary, I will not hinder Your Majesty in the slightest." The emperor is ruthless to consolidate the country, and I will not drag him down with affection. ”

She is very satisfied during this time, even if there are any waves in the future, she will not be too uncomfortable.

It's just that when the emperor said that he would stay in the imperial study at night and not return to Qianyuan Palace, Liang Yue still felt a little empty in his heart.

…

That night, the lights of the Qianyuan Palace were lit for a night, and the lights in the imperial study were also turned on for a night.

The table full of corrected folds was collected by Sixi one by one and hugged out. The emperor sat silently behind his desk, thinking about something with his head down. His expression was dark and uncertain, and his body was full of evil and anger.

Sixi sighed, did not urge the emperor to go to bed, only thoughtfully closed the door and let the emperor think about it himself.

Mu Concubine Niangniang came and went, but since she left, the emperor's face sank, and there was no longer the slightest smile. Sixi listened to a few words outside, and understood in his heart that Emperor Mingxuan needed to calm down in a short period of time.

But in the middle of the night, all the burning palace lights were extinguished. Xuanyuan Zili, who was in the dark, looked at the empty imperial study and read in a low voice: "Third Emperor Brother, don't you support me either?" ”

Sixi was shocked, and hurriedly led someone to light a new palace lamp to go in, but saw that the palace lamps in the imperial study did not know when all the palace lamps would be burned out. It was his dereliction of duty that he did not replace it in time.

Sixi's father-in-law knelt down to ask the emperor for his guilt, but Xuanyuan Zili looked at the rekindled palace lamp in a daze, and made up his mind.
