Before the second morning, Lian Rui sent a carriage to pick up Duan Xiyu from the court, but he himself was not in the carriage.

Duan Xiyu took Qiu Lu and Ning Han into the carriage, and pretended to sleep with his eyes closed all the way, and he didn't mean to speak.

"Young master, it's time for noon, do you want to get off?" Autumn Dew reminded in a low voice.

Duan Xiyu opened his eyes slightly and opened the curtain casually.

This hour is not early, and there are already a lot of frames densely packed outside the noon gate. She glanced at it, and her brow furrowed slightly.

After only a year of not seeing each other, most of the officials in the court have changed, and she is full of unfamiliar faces at a glance.

"No need, wait." She slowly lowered the curtain and continued to lean back on the carriage.

"It's only been up to court at the hour, and there is still half an hour before the hour, so you can sleep too."

Qiu Lu and Ning Han glanced at each other very quickly, sleep?

Don't say that it is half an hour, even if there are three or four hours, at this time, who has the heart to sleep in this place?

"It's the young master of the Dark Moon in the car?" A shrill voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage.

The voice was sharp and high-pitched, obviously a man but with a trace of femininity that did not belong to a man, which was a voice unique to eunuchs.

"It's Grandpa An." Ning Han glanced out the window and said quickly.

"Oh?" Duan Xiyu's eyes flashed, An Ronggui?

Changchun, the eunuch of Gong Yipin, isn't he a person from Luo Yeji?

Now there are a lot of officials in the court, and it is difficult for him to come out to meet her at this time, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Is this what Empress Dowager Liu meant, or is it his own? Maybe...... What does Luo Nightmark mean?

“…… Back. ”

Qiu Lu immediately flashed out: "Father-in-law An is polite." ”

"The Queen Mother invited the young master to go to Changchun, and the palace continued, and asked the young master to move."

After saying this, there was silence all around.

Even through the thick carriage, Duan Xiyu could feel the scorching gaze from all directions.

Duan Xiyu sighed slightly, is it so difficult for her to keep a low profile?

An Ronggui just used a sentence to push her to the forefront again.

"Please move the young master to Changchun, palace!"

No one spoke in the car for a long time, and normal people would have understood what it meant. But An Ronggui is not a normal person, he is very persistent, and once again solemnly saluted the carriage.

"Father-in-law, please wait a while, the young master of my family only came yesterday, and I got up early today. I'm afraid I'm asleep at the moment, wait for the slave to go in and take a look. ”

"Tired girl." An Ronggui smiled kindly and humbly.

Qiu Lu turned around and went back to the carriage, and after a while, she heard a cold and indifferent woman's voice coming from inside the carriage.

"The emperor ordered the lord to attend today's court meeting yesterday, but I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

"The Queen Mother has already asked the emperor for a decree in advance, and she will definitely not embarrass the young master."

There was silence in the carriage for a long time, and then a faint voice said, "Lead the way." ”

"Please."

An Ronggui's face was still as humble and warm as ever, and he did not show the slightest pride because he invited someone.

Duan Xiyu's carriage was directly rerouted and rushed straight in through the side gate of the palace.

This move was immediately like a bee's nest, and the ministers outside the noon gate finally broke out into a fierce argument.

Ning Han frowned: "Do you want to deal with it." ”

"How much can you block with a mouth on someone's face?"

Ning Han glanced at the shadowy figure behind him from the gap in the car curtain, his eyes slightly cold.

"Really powerful people never put their emotions on their faces, let alone say it?"

Duan Xiyu's words calmed Ning Han down.

The corners of Duan Xiyu's mouth twitched, the carriage should have passed the outer three palaces after walking for so long, and it hadn't stopped yet?

According to the rules of the Great Zhou, courtiers had to wait at the noon gate before walking into the Jinluan Palace.

The foreign woman met the concubine, got off the horse at the gate of the outer three palaces, and walked into the harem.

No matter what capacity she entered the palace today, her actions now were already out of line.

How afraid of those people are that she has too few enemies?

"Please get out of the car." An Ronggui's voice came again.

Qiu Lu and Ning Han immediately opened the car door and waited for Duan Xiyu to get out of the car.

Duan Xiyu squinted his eyes, and in front of him was Changchun, the palace. But it is definitely not the former Changchun, the palace.

A year ago, there was an endless stream of concubines coming and going.

Not to mention the crowd, but it is also very lively. It used to be the most glorious place in the entire harem.

Now...... Can it be a little more deserted?

If it weren't for the plaque at the entrance of the palace that said Changchun, the palace, it would almost make people think that this is actually a cold palace.

"Young master, please." An Ronggui shook off the dust in his hand, lowered his eyebrows and waited at the bottom of the steps.

"These two girls are waiting outside the palace."

Ning Han and Qiu Lu followed up the steps, and asked An Ronggui to directly stretch out his hand to stop him.

The breath of the two maids instantly cooled down, and Duan Xiyu turned her head indifferently.

"Wait here."

"But ......?"

"Empress Dowager Liu invited me so solemnly, can this become a Longtan tiger's den?"

Ning Han Qiulu stopped at this time.

An Ronggui didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Duan Xiyu's words, and still led Duan Xiyu into the Changchun Palace with a humble and warm smile.

From the gate of the palace until entering the Empress Dowager Liu's bedroom, except for An Ronggui, I didn't see any palace maids or eunuchs.

The corners of Duan Xiyu's lips hooked, and the current situation of Empress Dowager Liu is not very good. Looking for her for ......?

"The queen mother is inside, and the old slave sends the young master here. Please enter the temple by yourself. ”

Duan Xiyu nodded, pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

In the past, the golden and splendid queen mother's dormitory is now only lit with a few candles.

At a glance, even the paint on the beams and pillars seems to have peeled off a lot. The gratuitous end makes people feel a little desolate.

"But Yu'er is here?"

Duan Xiyu couldn't help but shudder.

What's the deal with such a gentle, affectionate, loving voice?

Empress Dowager Liu has never dealt with her, and her situation to where she is today has something to do with her. This man must have swallowed her heart alive.

According to the normal number of roads, it is not the various ...... when you meet Why is this the case?

She couldn't help but look back at the palace gate behind her, couldn't it be that she came in the wrong way? So what the hell?

Do you want...... Exit and go back in again?

"What are you doing standing when everyone is coming in? Come and sit. ”

Empress Dowager Liu's voice sounded again, and Duan Xiyu finally turned her head back.

Only then did I see that under the dim light, Empress Dowager Liu was sitting on the soft couch on the left side of the dormitory in a gorgeous dress.

Empress Dowager Liu's appearance hasn't changed much, and it's still the same as a year ago. Dignified, noble and beautiful.

The only difference is that the eyes are much worse. is not as sharp as before, but with a hint of flattery and ...... Kindliness?!

What the hell is loving-kindness?

Duan Xiyu shuddered, how could she see love in Empress Dowager Liu's eyes? Kindness to her? Don't be funny!

Must have not slept well last night.

"Yu'er come over and tell the mourning family to take a look, do you have to ask me to go and pick it up in person?"

Duan Xiyu pursed her lips and asked her to come and pick it up in person.

So, she slowly walked to a chair far away from him and sat down.

"Why are you so far away from the mourning family? Sit closer. ”

His feet moved, and he moved a chair forward.

Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "You girl, the mourning family is not a tiger that can eat you, what are you afraid of." Come, sit beside the mourners. ”

Duan Xiyu was silent, you can really eat me!

It's a pity that this can't be said now.

So, she stood up and walked a few steps to the side of Empress Dowager Liu...... I sat down on the nearest chair.

On that side, Empress Dowager Liu on the soft couch sighed fiercely: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and now I'm so inclose to the mourning family." ”

Duan Xiyu: "......"

What does it mean to not be close now? Have they ever been close? How did she not know?

"The Queen Mother has everything she can say."

Duan Xiyu has never been a person who likes to waste time on meaningless things, so he went straight to the point.

The gentle smile on Empress Dowager Liu's face paused, but she quickly hooked the corners of her lips again.

"You will be a family with the mourning family in the future, and you must help the emperor well. The world of this Great Zhou will depend on you from now on. ”

"...... "This person is crazy, how can he say such a thing?"

Who is her family?

"Why did the Queen Mother say this?"

Empress Dowager Liu pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, you don't have to say anything with a face, I understand.

Duan Xiyu was silent, what did she understand? If you dare to say it, let her understand.

"Aren't you going to marry Arrow soon? Don't be embarrassed, even though you're many years older than Arrow, you can't beat Arrow's liking of you. As long as he likes it, the mourning family likes it. ”

Duan Xiyu pursed her lips and did not reply. She believes that this is definitely not the true words of Empress Dowager Liu.

"Ah Rui is the mainstay of the Great Zhou, and now the emperor has no heirs, maybe in the future...... That's your chance. ”

"The mourning family hopes that you can live in harmony after your wedding, and wholeheartedly protect our Great Zhou Guozuo."

How long is the country? That's the point.

"Doesn't the Queen Mother feel tired when she talks like this?"

Duan Xiyu felt that if she didn't interrupt her, she would definitely be able to keep talking. However, she really didn't want to hear this kind of nonsense.

The smile on Empress Dowager Liu's face stiffened again.

"If you really don't have anything to say, then the master will take his leave."

With such a motherly tenderness, she said that she really couldn't stand it.

She said the same thing, just stood up and turned around and left.

"Duan Xiyu, you stop for the mourning family." Empress Dowager Liu's voice suddenly sharpened.

"I know you don't want to see the mourners, and the mourners don't want to see you."

Duan Xiyu's footsteps paused, this sentence sounded much more pleasant.

…… How does it feel that she suddenly looks so much like a?

"The mourning family doesn't want you to marry Arrow at all, do you think you are as worthy as him? If it weren't for ......"

"What if not?" Duan Xiyu's eyes froze, with a coldness that knew everything.

"If it weren't for the fact that Da Zhou had been forced by Shu to breathe, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to be the daughter of the Lord of the Sky Mountain, if it weren't for the fact that Lian Rui had a little affection with me. Can you play that play against me? ”

Empress Dowager Liu lost her voice all of a sudden, and her delicate makeup paused and gradually distorted.

"You don't actually have to worry at all, I never thought about marrying Lian Rui."

Empress Dowager Liu took a deep breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you don't want to, why did you come back to Yanjing with Arrow?"
