At about midnight, a simple-shaped carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhaowang Mansion on the East Street of Suzaku Temple, and the servant woman who had already been waiting at the door quickly stepped forward with her shoulders and took advantage of the night to carry the people in the carriage into the mansion.

The originally quiet palace was noisy with this ride. The maids and ladies shuttled back and forth in Huiyi Hall with basins, soup, and food, and the lights under the eaves were bright, as lively as the Chinese New Year's Eve in spring.

A moment later, Ling Zhao, who was dressed in a big curtain, lifted the brocade curtain and walked in.

"Good morning, lord." Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Is the princess alright?" Ling Zhao stood at the door, untying his bow tie as he asked.

Yuzhu pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I'll go see her." Ling Zhao handed the jade bead he had taken off, and walked towards the inner room.

Lifting the cascading brocade curtains, Ling Zhao stepped into the inner room, and a pungent smell of charcoal fire came to him.

"What does this smell of?!" Ling Zhao covered his mouth and nose, frowned and asked a mother-in-law in the inner room.

The woman lowered her head and said: "Back to the prince, the princess is in a hurry, the geothermal heat is too late to warm up, and she can only use open charcoal for heating, which is a little smelly......"

"This king has been rumored that the princess is coming back, and after a long night, he hasn't been able to heat the floor?! What a bunch of rubbish!! ”

The woman was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she immediately fell to her knees.

Yuzhu hung up the big fray, and hurriedly ran over to explain, "The prince is angry, after the autumn of previous years, the princess will arrange for someone to go to Lushan to buy high-grade silver frost charcoal for heating in the inner room. After receiving the king's order before, the slave maid personally took people to the dining room to select some less smoke charcoal fire, and could only reluctantly set it on first......"

After listening to Yuzhu's explanation, Ling Zhao had to suppress his anger. He had to admit that Xu Zhiyi used to keep the mansion up and down in an orderly manner, and without her palace, there was a lot of chaos.

"First remove the charcoal fire, and someone will pick up a few large wooden barrels, and boil hot water to come in and replace them in turn."

"Yes. The slave and maid will arrange it. Yuzhu nodded hurriedly.

After the mother-in-law moved the charcoal stove out, Ling Zhao walked to the carved bed in the inner room.

Xu Zhiyi hugged the thick cloud brocade quilt, lying on her face, the bulging quilt, vaguely outlining her August pregnancy posture. It was impossible to tell whether she was awake or asleep, Ling Zhao stood in front of the bed for a while before he spoke: "These days, the princess has suffered. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi, who was lying on her side, remained motionless.

"There was some misunderstanding between me and the princess, and I haven't been able to talk about it properly." Ling Zhao sat down in front of the bed and stretched out his hand to tighten the quilt for her, "I'm sorry about Yugu, I shouldn't hide it from you. ”

I haven't seen her for a few months, Xu Zhiyi didn't expect that he would mention Chu Yugu as soon as he opened his mouth, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Because of my health, I probably won't have any children of my own in my life. It's been so many years since you married into the palace, it's not like we haven't worked together, and now we really have no choice...... If I say that I want a child to please my father, I have many ways to get a child, but, Zhiyi, I only want your child...... It was this obsession that made me wrong...... You hate me, you hate me, I can understand it. ”

"Ling Zhao, are you still talking about human words?!" Xu Zhiyi turned over and sat up, and asked him with a pair of teary eyes and angry eyes, "Just ask, what man in the world can do such a shameless thing to humiliate his wife?!" ”

Indeed, these are the words which a very man can say; These things are indeed things that are very man's doing. Ling Zhaoyi grabbed her hand and said earnestly: "But after all, I am not very human, and we are not ordinary couples, destined to take an extraordinary path...... Zhiyi, you love me so much, you must be able to forgive me, right? ”

Looking at the man in front of her, Xu Zhiyi only felt incredible: he could ask such a thing?!

How much I loved him, how much I hate him now. At this moment, he held her hand, which only made her feel disgusted, and she pulled out her hand violently, hatefully: "Love you? Ling Zhao, I just want to kill you!! ”

Sure enough, it is said that women's hearts are fickle. I think you once swore that you loved me, but now your face has changed. Ling Zhao looked at Xu Zhiyi, who was red-eyed, and smiled coldly, "Your love is really superficial, what you have always loved is just my good-looking skin, as for what kind of soul lives in this skin, you have never cared about it, you have never paid attention to it......"

"Yes, I'm superficial, I was fascinated by your skin in the first place, if I had paid attention to the dark and ugly soul in this splendid skin, I wouldn't have ......"

"Smack-" Ling Zhao waved his hand and slapped it, and the corners of Xu Zhiyi's lips suddenly soaked with blood.

"Xu Zhiyi, this king originally wanted to be open and honest with you, but you are so presumptuous!"

"If you have the ability, you can kill me now!" Xu Zhiyi looked at Ling Li and said hatefully.

Ling Zhao pulled Xu Zhiyi's face, took out the silk handkerchief in his sleeve, and carefully wiped the blood from the corners of her lips for her, "Why did you want to kill you?" You are the wife of this king, the future queen of South Vietnam......"

"Ling Zhao, now that it's over, don't you think I'll cooperate with you to play the role of the husband singing and the wife and loving ......"

"If you want to seek death, this king will never stop you, there are many daughters of celebrities in this court who want to marry into the palace" Ling Zhao's thumb and index finger suddenly stuck firmly on her jaw, "However, you have to think clearly, the lives of hundreds of people up and down your Xu family are all in the hands of this king......"

Xu Zhiyi couldn't move and was forced to look at Ling Zhao. At this moment, she found that his eyes were as black as ink, like a bottomless abyss, which made her frightened.

Ling Zhao let go of Xu Zhiyi, stood up slowly, hooked his lips and smiled, "It's not dawn yet, princess, take a good rest, today. Your aunt is going to congratulate you on your pregnancy, don't let her see you so embarrassed and haggard! ”

Looking at Ling Zhao's handsome and innocent smiling face, Xu Zhiyi shuddered unfreely.

At the end of the day, the palace attendants came to the palace in advance to carefully inspect the preparations for the palace to welcome the concubine. At the end of the hour, Xu Guifei's guard of honor arrived in front of King Zhao's mansion.

Before the Empress Zhao was deposed, the noble concubine Xu Youjia climbed to the middle palace, and relied on the favor of Emperor Chengde, and was very arrogant in the harem. Now, her position is at the top of the four concubines, and she is naturally even more in the limelight. Under the guidance of the crank seven phoenix golden umbrellas, the embroidered phoenix version carried by eight people slowly descended in front of the Zhaowang Mansion, and after Xu Zhiyi led the female officials in the palace to kneel on the ground to say goodbye, she slowly stepped down and walked towards Xu Zhiyi.
