Xin Qingwan looked at Yuzhu's appearance, and couldn't help but think of those scarred arms.

Once upon a time, although they were different masters and servants, they were also close, she was scolded by her mother when she got into trouble, and her angry father wanted to beat her, but Yuzhu protected her, either stopped in front of her and was beaten, or knelt on the ground to intercede for herself.

But now, Yuzhu knelt on the ground, not to protect her, but to beg her not to punish her, to beg her not to hurt her.

Xin Qingwan bent down and tentatively stretched out her hand, and sure enough, she saw Yuzhu's body shrink.

She looked at Yuzhu's appearance blankly, and the outstretched hand did not take it back for a long time.

When did they become like this?

Yuzhu was prostrate on the ground, not daring to move at all, she was scared of being beaten.

After a long time, Xin Qingwan came back to her senses, withdrew her hand and looked at her and said, "Go and see where King Ning is." ”

Just let her go.

Yuzhu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't notice that Xin Qingwan's title to Li Yu had changed from the unchanged Brother Yu to King Ning, and she hurriedly got up and said, "Slave and maid, let's go." ”

After saying this, she hurried out, as if there was some evil spirit behind her.

Xin Qingwan watched her back leave, then looked around at the empty surroundings, and Xie Wan's words sounded in her ears: "Look at this Changchun Palace again!" Let's see if anyone else is willing to take the initiative to serve you besides this maid who has followed you since childhood?! ”

It was as if something had been uncovered in her heart, and although it hurt, it also made her seem to have cleared the fog.

After a while, Yuzhu came back and said cautiously: "Back to Niangniang's words, His Royal Highness King Ning is discussing with the ministers in the imperial study, and after the slave maid heard about today, the power in the hands of His Royal Highness King Ning will be completely handed over, and if there is no major event in the future, he will not go to court again." ”

"Even if he is willing to do this because of his promise, His Majesty may not be able to endure the strange eyes of others all the time. What's more, King Ning is now in power, and there are not many places for His Majesty to rely on King Ning, Niangniang is in the harem, and King Ning is powerless even if he has the heart. ”

Xin Qingwan suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, if he had me in his heart, how could he not even inform me of such a big thing." ”

Yuzhu was stunned when she heard this, and glanced at her with some surprise. Xin Qingwan had already retracted all her expressions, got up and said as usual: "Let's go, go see Brother Yu." ”

For more than ten days in a row, all the affairs in hand have been handed over, the ministers have dispersed, and Emperor Wen Zhao left Li Yu: "Do you really think it's worth it?" ”

Li Yu looked at him and said lightly: "The imperial brother is the Son of Heaven, and the younger brother is just the Son of Heaven to deal with the dynasty, and now he is just returning to his original position, so how can he talk about the value of the top." ”

Emperor Wen Zhao snorted lightly: "What I can't get used to is your appearance of not caring about everything!" The power that others can't ask for all their lives is like dung in your eyes! ”

Li Yu didn't answer, but said lightly: "If the imperial brother is fine, the younger brother will retire." Don't forget the January Covenant. ”

Emperor Wen Zhao sneered lightly: "In your eyes, Jiangshan Sheji is not as good as a woman, why didn't I find out before, you are such a personality?" ”

Li Yu said: "It's not that Jiangshan Sheji is not as good as women, but Jiangshan Sheji has an imperial brother and courtiers, and the courtiers just want to have some comfortable lives, even if there is no her, the imperial brother asks the courtiers to hand over the power, and the courtiers will also hand it over." ”

Emperor Wen Zhao waved his hand angrily: "Go, go, I panicked when I saw you." ”

Li Yu saluted, turned around and walked out the door.

Xiao Quanzi sighed lightly and said, "I don't know, what will this country be tossed into by the Ma family!" ”

Li Yu didn't speak, only raised her feet and walked outside, about to reach the corner, Xin Qingwan walked out, she smiled at Li Yu, and called sweetly: "Brother Yu." ”

Li Yu frowned when he heard this, and stood in place as usual.

Xin Qingwan looked at his stopped steps and frowned, her eyes flashed, and she walked towards him happily as usual: "Brother Yu is going to leave the palace?" ”

Li Yu snorted and said, "Something?" ”

"It's nothing, I just miss Brother Yu, so I'm going to see you." Xin Qingwan raised her eyes to look at him and carefully looked at the look on his face: "It seems that every time I come to find Brother Yu, Brother Yu has never taken the initiative to look at me." ”

Li Yu's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this: "You are a harem concubine." ”

If she heard these words in the past, Xin Qingwan would definitely feel a pain in her heart, and then understand that he couldn't help herself, but today she suddenly understood the true meaning of his words.

He was emphasizing that she was already married to Emperor Wen Zhao and was already a member of the harem.

He didn't care about those so-called rules, after all, if he really cared about the rules, how could he let rumors spread and let her come to him again and again?

As just now, he had never taken the initiative to take a step towards her.

Xin Qingwan smiled, laughing at how stupid she was in the past to ignore these.

She looked at him and asked with a smile, "Brother Yu, do you like me?" ”

Li Yu's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he pursed his lips and did not speak.

Xin Qingwan didn't take the initiative to change her conversation when she saw him frowning and pursing her lips as before, for fear of upsetting him.

Today, instead of changing her words, she looked at him very persistently, and asked again: "Brother Yu, do you like me?" ”

Li Yu frowned, and said in a cold voice: "You are already a concubine." ”

Xin Qingwan laughed again, and Xie Wan's sentence echoed in her ears: "When will you wake up from your dream?!" Did King Ning say a word about pleasing you? Did you ever say that I want to protect you for the rest of your life? He didn't, he didn't even give you a smile! How did you lie to yourself that he was deeply in love with you?! ”

Looking at the smile on her face, Xiao Quanzi always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Xin Qingwan suddenly said again: "Then do you like Xie Wan?" ”

Li Yu's face sank, pursed his lips and looked at her coldly without answering.

also didn't give an answer, but at this moment Xin Qingwan clearly knew what he meant.

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, her eyes were already misty: "Last question, Brother Yu, have you ever liked me for a moment?" ”

This time, Li Yu didn't pause, and said directly: "No." ”

Hearing this answer, Xiao Quanzi was startled, looked at Xin Qingwan a little nervously, looked at Li Yu again, and called in a low voice: "Master ......"

Li Yu ignored it, only lowered his eyes to look at Xin Qingwan in front of him, and once again clearly repeated his answer: "This king has never liked you." ”

Although she had expected it, although she had already understood, she really heard his words with her own ears, Xin Qingwan's heart was still like a piece of it had been stripped away, and even her body shook with her.

Seeing this, Yuzhu on the side hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and called out with concern: "Niangniang!" ”

Xin Qingwan turned her eyes to look at her, looked at the concerned look on her face, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm fine." ”

She stood up straight, turned her eyes to look at Li Yu deeply, looked at the look on his face, traced his eyebrows with her eyes, and slowly said after a while: "Over the years, His Royal Highness King Ning has worked hard. ”

After saying this, she retracted her gaze and said to Yuzhu, "Go back." ”

Her dream, it was indeed time to wake up.
