My aunt looked back at me and said, "Just now, the emperor is about to arrive at the Chonghua Palace, hurry up and go back to serve!" ”

"The emperor is coming?"

My hand shook suddenly, and my aunt seemed to sense something, and walked up to me and looked at me: "Qingying, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so ugly? There are so many cold sweats, are you sick? ”

I'm not sick, I'm just- I'm too scared.

Although I stayed in Chonghua Hall these days and didn't see him again, I almost woke up from a nightmare every night, afraid that he would know that I was out of the cold palace, afraid that he would come to the door, and even more afraid that he would not let me go, and there would be more tyrannical punishments waiting for me.

And now, he is about to go to the Chonghua Palace, and I can't avoid it anymore.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly even my fingertips were cold, my aunt looked at me anxiously, looked back at the sky, and said, "Don't rub it off, the emperor is here, we have to go back to serve, quickly!" ”

After speaking, she couldn't help but pull me up and hurriedly walked towards the Chonghua Palace.

Along the way, almost both of my legs were stiff, and I was pulled back to Chonghua Hall by my aunt, and as soon as I walked in, I saw my aunt in the small kitchen coming, and when I saw us, I said: "You are finally back, the emperor has come, and the ginseng soup that Niangniang ordered to stew, you hurry up and send it over." ”

When I heard that he had arrived, my face turned even pale, and my aunt took the tray and handed it to me, and said, "Niangniang asked you to come and serve, go quickly." ”

"Auntie......" My voice was trembling: "I, I'm stupid, don't let me go." ”

"You girl, what's the matter?" My aunt said a little angrily: "Don't you do things if you are stupid?" Besides, if you follow Niangniang, there will be many days for the emperor to come up in the future, so why don't you keep serving, is there such a thing? ”

I shuddered.

Yes, she's right, I'm by Shen Rou's side, it's a matter of time before he sees me, even if he doesn't see me here, if he wants to vent again one day and can't see me in the cold palace, he will still find here.

After all, I can't escape.

"Hurry up!"

My aunt pushed me again, and I was pushed down the steps by her, and when I looked up at the open door, and at the inexplicable pressure coming from the room, I bit my lower lip, and finally took heavy steps, and walked in step by step.

A familiar voice came from the open door of the cave—

"I said I was going to accompany you last night, but I didn't come, so I'm not angry."

This voice, I really know all too well, low and magnetic, but always with a hint of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, even if he once breathed warm breath in my ear, it still makes my whole body tremble with fear at the moment.

Shen Rou let out a soft laugh and said, "Your Majesty, look at what you said." It is a happy event that Xu Cairen is pregnant, and the emperor should accompany her in the past, how can the concubine be so childish, so she will be angry with the emperor? ”

Pei Yuanhao seemed to smile and said, "That's good." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the emperor didn't have a good rest last night, so she asked people to prepare some ginseng soup to replenish the emperor's qi, and it should be sent."

By this time, I had reached the gate, and the familiar figure in the room came into view.

It seemed to be the first time I had seen him during the day after he ascended the throne, and I used to see him at night, either drunk and ready to vent, or without saying a word, and he was only a source of pain for me; And at this moment, he sat on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, Shen Rou sat in his arms, a pair of soft wattles were held in his hands, ten fingers intertwined, and infinite feelings were revealed.

I desperately tried my best not to tremble, took a deep breath and walked over: "Niangniang." ”

Hearing my voice, Shen Rou still had a smile on her face, but the man seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the sky, Huo Ran looked at me with wide eyes, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Shen Rou had already walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "The ginseng soup is here, hurry up and bring it to the emperor." ”

I put the tray on the table, lowered my head and picked up a bowl of ginseng soup, and slowly walked to him: "Your Majesty, please use it." ”

I didn't dare to look up at him, so I could only look down at the rippling soup, but at this moment, I saw another pair of eyes reflected on the water, like a sharp sword, stabbing my body, and the soup bowl was about to be unstable.

He didn't speak, but those eyes were staring at me in the water.

"Why are you here!"

He almost gritted his teeth when he said this, and the kind of suppressed anger was all too familiar to me, if it was in the cold palace, usually after that suppressed anger, there would be endless humiliation and abuse, which would make people crazy.

My hands were shaking even more, and the soup was almost spilling.

At this time, a soft voice sounded in his ears: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who transferred her to the Chonghua Palace." ”

"What?" Pei Yuanhao's face sank, and he looked back at Shen Rou.

Shen Rou's face was still a soft smile, and she said: "The emperor asked the concubine to help the queen assist the sixth palace, and that day the concubine also went to the cold palace to take a look, but found that this girl was very sick, and there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in the cold palace, if it was delayed, I was afraid that her life would not be saved-"

Pei Yuanhao listened with a pale face, and when he looked up at me at this time, I shrank slightly.

"The concubine really couldn't bear it, so she asked the queen for this shortage, and transferred her to the Chonghua Palace, the concubine was good at making claims, and I hope the emperor will forgive her sins."

After speaking, she got up and knelt in front of Pei Yuanhao.

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, just looked at me coldly, and after a long while, he said, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

As soon as Shen Rou stood up, he said again: "If you have no people here, tell the inner chamberlain directly, and they will send you over, this girl-" He stood up and walked slowly in front of me, I kept my head down and didn't dare to look at him, but I could feel his razor-sharp eyes staring at me, as if they were about to stare a hole in my body.

Feeling his hot breath on my face, I subconsciously took a step back.

His eyes were cold, and he said, "Send her back to the cold palace!" ”

I looked up at him all of a sudden, and there was still no expression on his face, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a sneer that bordered on cruelty—he still wouldn't let me go.

At this moment, Shen Rou slowly walked over and said to him: "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake Qingying has made, the emperor must put her in the cold palace?" ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced at her, and his eyes became cold: "Do you still want to ask about my affairs?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Shen Rou still had a gentle smile on her face, and said, "It's just that this girl was entrusted by His Royal Highness King Qi to take care of his concubines, so-"

"What?" Pei Yuanhao suddenly turned his head and looked at her: "King Qi? ”

"Yes, when the concubine went to the cold palace to check that day, she happened to meet His Royal Highness King Qi who wanted to break into the cold palace, saying that she wanted to visit her, but the concubine also knew that it was unreasonable to do so, so she asked King Qi to go back first, and the concubine promised him that if he found Yue Qingying, he would take good care of her. King Qi is young, and things are inevitably rough, but it is also a good intention, and now the emperor wants to send her back to the cold palace, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Qi will worry about this girl again-"

She didn't finish her words, because at this time, Pei Yuanhao's eyes already revealed a trace of bloodthirsty ruthlessness.

Even Shen Rou seemed to be frightened.

"The emperor—...... the emperor?"

"You said King Qi, go to the cold palace to find her?"

"Yes."

……

The room suddenly fell into an indescribable silence, no one spoke, I only heard my own heartbeat, which shook my ears and hurt, and then Pei Yuanhao slowly turned his head to look at me.

Suddenly, he held out his hand to me.

I thought he was going to hit me, and I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and shrank up, but he reached over and took the soup bowl in my hand, but the ginseng soup in it overflowed a little because of my action just now, but he didn't seem to care at all, just slowly passed the bowl to his mouth and took a sip.

The soup was on his lips, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it gently.

Then, the corners of his mouth provoked an almost grim smile.

"In that case, let her stay here."

Shen Rou had been standing by and watching, and at this time a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly came over and said, "Qingying, the emperor has forgiven you, don't hurry up and thank you." ”

I knelt down all of a sudden, and my body was still a little trembling: "Slave, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

"Get up."

I wanted to stand up, but my legs were weak, and I reached out on the ground for a while before I could barely stand up, and he had been standing in front of me, looking at me condescendingly, and I was blessed with him, and turned around to leave, but I heard his voice sounding coldly behind me: "Have I allowed you to go down?" ”

I bit my lower lip and looked back at him: "I don't know what else the emperor has to order." ”

He glanced at me coldly, but ignored me, but turned to Shen Rou and said, "Tell the small kitchen to prepare, I will come over for dinner tonight, and tonight, it will be yours." ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Rou's face, and she hurriedly walked over: "Yes." ”

Pei Yuanhao looked at her and smiled, turned around and walked out.

When his back disappeared at the door, Shen Rou walked up to me, still with a soft smile on her face, but there seemed to be something more in those eyes, she looked at me for a while, and then said with a smile: "Go down and pass the word." ”

I had a vague sense that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what it was, so I could only nod my head in agreement and turn away.

When I left there, I felt a little relieved and dizzy, and I stood against the wall for a while before I breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the garden gate in front of me.

As soon as I walked to the door, I looked up, but saw a tall and familiar figure standing in front, standing with my hands in his hands, hearing my footsteps, slowly turning to look at me.

Those eyes made me freeze all of a sudden.
