Huang Dynasty Palace. East Palace Prince's Palace. Xuhexuan.

In the temple. Nangong Yueyao put down the sunspot in her hand. frowned and said, "What's the matter with this weather. It's only early summer. It's as hot as this." Apparently has lost his chess game of Yaxing.

Liu Haoxuan was angry and funny when he heard this. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yueyao. Why are you still so childish? Could it be that I knew that I had lost this game again. I deliberately made excuses." He is still dressed in the same white clothes as he does all year round. Just because when he was a child, there was a young female doll who hugged his neck and said in a sweet and immature voice: "My brother looks best in white. It's like a fairy." From now on. He no longer wears clothes of other colors.

He did wear white with a different feeling. Clean. Free. Such as immortals who do not eat the fireworks of the world.

"Uh......" Nangong Yueyao thought for a moment. Simply mess up the game on the table. Smiled: "Xuan. Don't say it's okay to see through it. For the sake of being the crown prince, I'll save some face."

"Haha......" Liu Haoxuan looked at his friend's half-truth. Let him too. Just smiled heartily.

Nangong Yueyao stood up. Opened the door and walked out. Looking at the golden sun hanging in the sky. sighed. If it goes on like this. I'm afraid the ice in the palace won't be enough this year." Except for him this east palace under his insistence has not yet used ice. Emperor. The queen had been cooling down with ice half a month earlier.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Liu Fengxi put down the chess pieces and walked out. The oncoming wind is hot and coaxing" just go on like this. Crops will be drought. This year's harvest ......" he didn't go on. But that unfinished word. No need to say it. Nangong Yueyao can also think of it.

"I hope it doesn't get that bad." Nangong Yueyao pursed her lips and said. There was a hint of expectation in his tone.

"......" Liu Haoxuan didn't know what to say. Look at the weather that is different from previous years. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Hope. Don't be that bad.

Even if there is a drought this year. There is no harvest in the crops. They also don't have to worry about going hungry. But. but he was worried about the people. If that's the case. The consequences are unimaginable.

Seems to have remembered something. Nangong Yueyao turned around. Look at buddies. Suddenly, he said, "I don't know if Xi'er has returned."

"I'll go out of the palace tomorrow to have a look." Liu Haoxuan said: "There was a lot of trouble in that incident a while ago. It is known to all countries. I'm worried...... If it's really Xi'er's doing. She's going to be in danger." The king of Fuso is suspicious by nature. The queen is ruthless. How could they cede seven cities to a young man who appeared out of nowhere?

"I'm not at ease. I'm going with you, too." Nangong Yueyao said hurriedly. Father, how long will he put me under house arrest like this? Tomorrow. I must get out of the palace. It's been so long. There is no news of Xi'er. I'm really worried." He doesn't care what purple-eyed princess blue-eyed princess. He just wants Xi'er to be safe.

"Yueyao. You are the crown prince. You stay in the palace tomorrow. I'll go find it. If there is news of Xi'er. I'll be sure to come back and tell you as soon as possible."

"But ......, I also want to see Xi'er at the first time.

See the thoughts in the eyes of your friends. Expect. Liu Haoxuan's heart was sore and painful. All kinds of flavors are adulterated." Yueyao. Xi'er, she's ...... Why are you so persistent?" See friends like this. He was also sad. Ultimately. He and Nangong Yueyao are the same kind of people. They all suffer because they can't get it.

And the difference is. Nangong Yueyao at least has the right to love openly. And he. But I can only keep it in my heart.

Nangong Yueyao smiled bitterly. High. Don't you still understand? My love for Xi'er. has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. In this life except for her. I'll never fall in love with another woman again."

Liu Haoxuan pursed his lips. After all, nothing is said. He knows. He said no amount of it would be useless. It's not just Nangong Yueyao's love that's true. Why shouldn't he be like that? After falling in love with a woman like Xi'er. How can you fall in love with another woman again?

Weiyang Palace. The queen dismissed all the palace maids and supervisors. Remove a box from under the bed. She rubbed a sandalwood box carved with intricate patterns. The incident that happened in Fuso not long ago kept flashing in my mind. It's been a long time. She finally seemed to have made up her mind. Open the box. Inside lies a white jade statue. The totem on the white jade base is two rare ancient beasts, one male and one female.

The queen's eyes darkened. The slender fingers of the well-maintained white jade gently rubbed the two rare ancient beasts. It's been a long time. Finally, he slowly took out the white jade statue in the box. Look at the totem under the white jade base. Take a closer look. Only then did I find out that the white jade statue was actually a jade seal carved from white jade. The corners of her mouth gradually raised. Evoke a complicated smile. There was so much emotion in that smile. There is resentment. There is bitterness. There is nostalgia...... In the end, it turned into an indelible firm belief.

She believes. Soon to come. Her country will reappear in the eyes of other kings. She looked forward to that day.

Footsteps from far and near came from outside the door. The footsteps were familiar to her. The queen puts the jade seal back in the box. Close the lid. Lock it up. Put it back in its original position. And then. Take off your coat. Lie down on the bed. Turn your back to the outside. Do all these actions. Then he heard the creak of the doors of the temple opening. Meanwhile. She closed her eyes. And all that was heard in the temple was the sound of even breathing.

The emperor walked straight into the inner room. Seeing with his back to him. Woman who seems to have fallen asleep. He sighed softly and almost invisibly. Didn't call ingots in. I took off the dragon robe on my body and hung it on the shelf. Walk step by step towards the phoenix bed. The footsteps are extremely light and light. As if afraid to wake up the woman in bed.

After the emperor lay down in bed. Take your hands on a pillow. It's been a long time. A deep voice said, "Qian'er. I know you haven't slept yet. For Yao'er's business. You're still mad at me." He didn't use me. Rather, say me.

The queen didn't turn around. Just don't pretend to be asleep anymore." How dare the concubines be angry with the emperor." These seventeen years. She has always regarded Nangong Yueyao as her own. Treat him as his own son. Seeing that the emperor put him under house arrest. Naturally, she was unhappy in her heart.

No mother wants to see her beloved child punished like that for no mistake. Although that man is his father.

"And said no. It's clearly angry." The emperor's tone was doting. He hugged the queen from behind. This woman. I don't know where she came from. But it was the woman he loved with his life.

Others say that the emperor is afraid of the queen. In fact. Where are you afraid? If you don't love. Why are you afraid?

"Your Majesty. Yao'er, he's grown up. He has the right to choose his lover. Why do you have to stop him? As a parent. We just need to guide him on the path of life. It's not about dictating his life for him." The queen turned around. Raised his eyes and looked straight into the emperor's eyes.

"Maybe you'll think I'm not Yao'er's biological mother. That's what I would say. But. I can tell you seriously. In my eyes. I've always regarded Yao'er as my own. I won't hurt him. As long as he doesn't go the wrong way. Why should we force him?"

"......" the emperor frowned and thought for a while. Sigh softly. It's a compromise." Good. I promise you. Tomorrow I will be exempted from Yao'er's grounding."
