Shi Huan looked at the other party's somewhat staggering back, and his eyes froze...... The Emperor stood only two paces away in front of the maple tree, and watched intently.

How so...... Even if it was just a slight sideways movement, his expression was not clear in the dim light of the courtyard, but somehow, Shi Huan just felt that the emperor's eyes looking at the maple tree were so dark and cold that people forgot to breathe.

Between the calcium carbide sparks, Shi Huan suddenly realized that he had been ...... all these years The emperor knows everything.

Even if a person's mind is difficult to understand, that person's mind is not in himself, but he can feel it after so many years. What's more, the emperor was already suspicious by nature...... I'm afraid that my aunt thought that the Tibetan land was very good, and her thoughts had already been noticed.

"This maple tree ......," the emperor pondered for a moment, and finally found a particularly breezy sentence, "many years...... It's good-looking. ”

The queen's figure trembled slightly, and panic in her eyes had risen......

"Yes." Shi Huan stopped in front of the queen in the front half, smiling gently and playfully, "At that time, the courtiers were young, and they always felt that the maple leaves were red and beautiful, but my aunt didn't like it, so the courtiers secretly stole a plant from outside the palace and planted it here, but I didn't expect it...... My aunt kept it very well. ”

Whether the emperor believes it or not, the reason for being so high-sounding now is just to save each other's face.

Even if there is a guess in his heart, the emperor has never asked a word over the years, but on such a moonlit night, he inadvertently blurted out, and even he felt a little regretful after saying it......

But as long as he is not willing to destroy the appearance of the emperor and queen being affectionate and respectful like a guest now, he will inherit the steps that Shi Huan handed over at this moment.

The emperor pursed his lips and didn't speak, and the eyes that fell on Shi Huan were so cold that they seemed to be substance. The queen couldn't even breathe, and the hand on her side curled up slightly, although she was ready to pull this "bully" little girl behind her.

Every breath seemed long and hard.

The evening breeze is slightly cool, and it only feels cold and sticky when it blows on the side of the neck...... I don't know when I broke out in a cold sweat.

In the dark and depressed color, the emperor smiled lightly, withdrew his gaze from the maple tree and looked back at Shi Huan, his eyes condensed, "Yes...... Your aunt is gentle, the most patient, and the most spoiled for you. But whatever you plant, even if she doesn't like it, she must take care of it with her heart. ”

"No wonder I'm watching...... This red maple is more energetic than the other trees and flowers in this courtyard......" smiled, and the emperor waved his hand, "The hour is not early, I still have to go to the imperial study, the queen and Miss Shi should rest early." You don't have to send it, stay. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked, with a large step, and disappeared outside the temple gate in a few steps.

Hurrying in steps.

Obviously it has not yet reached the season of red maple, in the middle of summer, the courtyard is full of flowers, just a red maple, how to grab the limelight of a hundred flowers? There's really nothing to say.

There was a sudden sound of breathing behind him, a little heavy, as if he had been holding the ground for a long time and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person was relieved.

It's the Queen.

Shi Huan turned around and saw the queen reprimanding resentfully, "You dead girl, fortunately, Your Majesty doesn't care about you in general, if you really have to care, you are guilty of bullying the king, and then my aunt and I can't save you, but your courage is getting bigger and bigger, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty!" ”

At that time, His Majesty suddenly mentioned that he was only a subconscious reaction, but the girl's move made people feel both worried and heartwarming...... Since she was born, she has been the daughter of the family, and her father was young at that time, much stricter than now. Although the mother is kind, she also holds the old rules of poetry and etiquette, even if she has felt sorry for her daughter in her heart, she will always cooperate with her father's earnest teaching.

Yes, since she was a child, she knew that in this life, she was the one standing in front, and no one would stand in front of her to shield her from the wind and rain. With her parents behind her, her husband belongs to thousands of people, and she only has herself.

I never thought that there would be such a day, a girl who was younger and thinner than herself, smiled and protected herself behind her.

Clearly...... Obviously, her shoulders can't stop her at all.

The scolding that came to his mouth finally dissipated, leaving only a thick heartache and softness, and he took the person into his arms, trembling in a low voice, "Silly girl...... Do you know how dangerous it is? ”

"The red maple was planted by my aunt and me, and many people know about this, if he really wants to be more serious, I'm afraid he will blame you for bullying the king...... What's more, I have been in this palace for many years, and I am not one of those little girls who have no roots, I am with him, the interests are too deep, and I can't break up, even if he wants to use the topic to play, he is probably just suffering from some grievances, at most it is the pain of flesh and skin, and it is not in the way. ”

"How can the pain of the flesh not get in the way? Your body bones are not known to others, can you not know yourself? How much flesh can you suffer? Shi Huan frowned, "Now that I am in the Gu Shi family, Your Majesty will not be serious with me, not to mention that I see that he is also much older, but like a tiger with blunt claws and lost teeth, I don't have the mental strength to care." He's just asking for a step......"

The little girl always has her own reason, and it does sound reasonable.

But at the moment, I still have palpitations. It is said that the emperor is angry, floating corpses are all over the field, not to mention that His Majesty has been irritable recently, and even looks irrational at all, I heard that he always takes medicine, some strange pills, not produced by the imperial hospital, but the folk remedies that the little father-in-law secretly went out of the palace to collect, and did not pass the imperial doctor's examination, only let the little eunuchs try non-toxic, and they almost ate it like a demon, and never slacked off day after day.

There was a student of my father's early years in the imperial hospital, and he secretly passed the news that it was the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and if he took too much, his body was also hollowed out.

I heard that it was a surprise, in the early years, His Majesty did not indulge in this matter, but now it is ...... Thinking that many things had happened before him made him feel a little old, he thought of some way to prove that it was just an illusion.

It's just that how can she talk about these things to the same girl's family? He only explained bitterly, "It's always right to be cautious." You should understand the truth that a companion is like a tiger. Even if he has blunt claws and lost teeth, he is still a tiger. ”

"Understand?"

Shi Huan's head should be, "Well, my niece knows." "It's just one thing to know, it's another thing to act after you know.

But I heard the queen murmur softly, "I always thought about it a few days ago...... He cut down the tree...... It's good now, but I'm afraid it won't be able to cut it...... Really make people go. ”

Infinite loneliness and mourning.
