In the evening, when Xiao Qingyu left the princess's mansion, he deliberately called Gao Fei to his side and whispered: "Gao Fei, I want you to secretly investigate the origin of the Great Mingyue Palace Master, remember, this matter is never allowed to be mentioned to outsiders." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”

At night, the princess's mansion is full of guests, except that the mansion is still golden and splendid, which makes people feel envious, and the princess's mansion can be said to be silent.

In Xiao Qingluan's bedroom, with the breeze swaying, the flickering candlelight shows a kind of spring heart rippling restlessness, so that the people in it can't help but revel in the dreamlike warmth.

Xiao Qingluan sat on the big red marriage bed in a daze, her face covered by the red hijab was flushed, and she could barely hide the shyness that was about to overflow.

"Wei Xun. ”

A delicate sound didn't seem to be like the words coming out of her Xiao Qingluan's mouth were transmitted to the ears of Wei Xun, who was sitting beside her.

"It's getting late, we should ...... It's time for the round house. ”

"Princess, I'm sorry, I can't do it. ”

Wei Xun's voice was extremely low, and without looking at his appearance at the moment, Xiao Qingluan could imagine how indifferent he was.

The face covered by the red hijab showed a wicked smile, which was incompatible with Wei Xun's coldness, but it highlighted a unique sadness.

"Wei Xun, do you know how my last colt died?"

"I heard that my predecessor died of illness. ”

"Haha, that's all deliberately made up for the sake of the royal family's face. ”

Xiao Qingluan suddenly took off his red hijab, staring at Wei Xun with a pair of big eyes, unable to tell whether it was sadness or resentment.

"He was killed by my own hands. Because I don't love him, I won't live with a man I don't like. ”

Xiao Qingluan thought that if she admitted in front of Wei Xun that she was the murderer of her ex-husband, Wei Xun would react, and maybe she would give in to her, but she was very wrong.

Wei Xun politely listened to Xiao Qingluan's words, got up, respectfully waved at Xiao Qingluan, and said in a low voice: "The princess should rest early, and the inquiry will retire first." ”

"Wei Xun, I can kill him, and I can also kill you, I, Xiao Qingluan, will never allow a man who doesn't love me to stay by my side. ”

"Princess, you can't force this kind of thing, if the princess wants to ask for her life, just take it. ”

In the spacious dormitory, only Xiao Qingluan was left standing in the center of the palace in a blood-like red wedding dress, and two lines of warm tears were flowing down her unruly eyes.

Since deliberately falling and injuring herself, Ye Ningxiang has always been groggy, and her head often hurts. For several days in a row, Xiao Qingyu went to Changle Palace to accompany Ye Ningxiang in the morning, and he accompanied him all day.

It can be said that Xiao Qingyu cares about Ye Ningxiang for a day, and Ye Ningxiang will pretend to be grateful or even happy in order to win Xiao Qingyu's trust, but guarding Ye Ningxiang every inch for several days in a row makes Ye Ningxiang a little bored.

Obviously, it's not a big deal, why does Xiao Qingyu, who has a lot of things to do every day, guard her undressed, causing her to feel uncomfortable every day these days, and several times, Ye Ningxiang almost couldn't control her emotions, and directly reprimanded Xiao Qingyu and asked him not to bother her again. But fortunately, she controlled her emotions.

"Your Majesty, you have every opportunity every day, so it is not a way to stay with me every day after all, besides, most of the injuries on Ning Xiang's head have been healed, and there is no need for the emperor to work hard for Ning Xiang day and night. ”

Finally one day half a month later, Ye Ningxiang considered her words and said to Xiao Qingyu with a smile.

Xiao Qingyu gently stroked the bandage that Ye Ningxiang wrapped around her head, and her warm smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Ning Xiang doesn't have to worry, I have my own arrangements. ”

"Your Majesty, Ning Xiang has been staying in Changle Palace these days, and I am very bored, now that Ning Xiang's injury is no longer a big problem, why don't you accompany Ning Xiang to walk around in the palace and relax?"

Ye Ningxiang really didn't want to face this crooked face alone, so she wanted to let Xiao Qingyu take her to wander around the palace, so that she could also see more fresh faces.

Xiao Qingyu naturally didn't know Ye Ningxiang's true thoughts, so he didn't hesitate at all, and happily agreed to Ye Ningxiang.

But I don't know if it's because Xiao Qingyu hasn't rested well these days, or because of something else, when Xiao Qingyu just stepped out of the gate of Changle Palace, his legs that moved forward in both directions suddenly became weak, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The little eunuch who was accompanying him didn't expect Xiao Qingyu, who had always been in good health, to fall suddenly, let alone that his slender and straight legs would suddenly become limp and lose control.

At the same time, Ye Ningxiang also rushed to Xiao Qingyu's side for the first time, holding Xiao Qingyu's arm hard and trying to help him up.

Xiao Qingyu's talking apricot eyes had shown many emotions in front of Ye Ningxiang, but today, Ye Ningxiang read emotions in his eyes that he had never shown before. The emotion was fear, the fear of ignorance about the future.

"Ning Xiang, it's probably because I'm too tired these days to fall down for no reason, which makes you worried. ”

Xiao Qingyu seemed to have a lot of effort to stand up, but unlike the joy on his face before, his face was full of melancholy at this time.

"Since the emperor is in poor health, don't go for a stroll with Ning Xiang anymore, let's go back to Longhua Palace to rest early!"

Ye Ningxiang thought that Xiao Qingyu would refute a little and then continue to follow her, but she didn't expect Xiao Qingyu to refute at all, just nodded, barely showed a smile, turned around and left in a hurry.

That kind of speed seemed to Ye Ningxiang to be a little panicked, or at a loss. And he left Ye Ningxiang so quickly because he didn't want to show his weak side to Ye Ningxiang.

I still didn't like Xiao Qingyu's company before, but when Xiao Qingyu really left her, Ye Ningxiang didn't have the slightest intention of wandering around, and went back the same way.

All the way, Ye Ningxiang was thinking about Xiao Qingyu's abnormal fall just now, and when she entered the gate of Changle Palace, she suddenly thought of one thing. Some time ago, she cooperated with Mu Bai to get Xiao Qingyu's flowing blood, and infiltrated the blood into the magic weapon ecstasy gem in the illusionary realm, and now Xiao Qingyu suddenly lost his strength, could it be that the ecstasy gem played a role?

Once people have an idea that he thinks is right, they will deepen this idea over and over again in their hearts, and finally they will unconsciously convince themselves that the idea that may be right just now is the right idea, Ye Ningxiang is like this.

All afternoon, she sat alone on the bed thinking about this question, and finally convinced herself that the Ecstasy Gem had begun to absorb Xiao Qingyu's essence, and Xiao Qingyu had already started his death journey.

The night was deep, and the breeze blew the veil hanging in the Longhua Palace, but it was full of an indescribable desolation. Xiao Qingyu sat alone on the dragon chair, in front of the candlelight like a bean, pondering.

No one knew what was going on in his heart, no one knew why he was losing his mind, and he sat in front of the red candle all night until it was getting dark, until the wax torch turned to ashes.

If a person can't do what he wants to, if he can't move if he wants to, how can he survive in this world? Is it to end his life before such a moment comes? Xiao Qingyu shook his head, because he would not do that.

He was not a coward, and he had the courage to endure all the hardships that were imposed on him, including stiffness in his limbs, including paralysis of his body. However, he eagerly hoped that the moment would come later, and that he would be able to live a little longer as a normal person.

In that case, the divided world would return to prosperity under his rule, and the displaced people would return to their former homes, and in that case, he would have more time to stay by Ye Ningxiang's side.

However, it had been less than two years since he had taken the pill refined by Mu Xize's heart, so how could he have an uncontrolled body? How could he have the exhaustion of his body being hollowed out? Why did this thing that should have happened seven or eight years later happen so early?

No one knows the unwillingness in his heart, no one can answer the doubts in his heart, and he feels the incomparable loneliness and helplessness of being an emperor for the first time in the emperor's position.

Since Xiao Qingyu fell for no reason that day, he seemed to be seriously ill, and his health has not been very good. Xiao Qingyu was already too busy to take care of himself, so naturally he would not put too much thought into other things, which created great convenience for Ye Ningxiang to secretly leave the palace.

In just one month, Ye Ningxiang disguised herself as a little eunuch and secretly went out of the palace to meet Mu Bai countless times. On this day, Ye Ningxiang still quietly slipped out of the palace as usual, and rode a fast horse towards the Damingyue Palace.

However, what Ye Ningxiang didn't know was that her series of secret actions were all seen by Gao Fei. Gao Fei was silent, and followed Ye Ningxiang all the way to the gate of Damingyue Palace. Watching Ye Ningxiang enter the Damingyue Palace unimpeded with the Mingyue bronze medal in his hand, Gao Fei clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was full of gloom.

"Childe. ”

Gao Fei ignored the obstruction of the chief eunuch in the palace, pushed open the door of Xiao Qingyu's bedroom with one palm, and almost ran to Xiao Qingyu.

"Empress Ye went to the Great Mingyue Palace alone. ”

After saying what he wanted to say, Gao Fei noticed that Xiao Qingyu, who had only been seen for more than ten days, was already haggard and emaciated.

He leaned on the dragon couch with a sickly face, and although his eyes were open, his sockets were sunken, as if he had not rested well for a long time.

"Childe, you ...... What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Qingyu that Gao Fei has seen has always been a jade tree in the wind, strategizing, like now, with a sickly face, looking as if he is about to die soon, he has never seen it, and he has never imagined it. Before he knew it, he felt his throat tighten, as if something was trying to gush out through his throat, making his heart ache and choking.

Seeing Gao Fei's worried appearance, Xiao Qingyu smiled tiredly, and said to Gao Fei lovingly like a big brother: "I'm fine, I can't die, you don't have to worry." ”

Seeing that Gao Fei was still sad and silent, Xiao Qingyu stood up with a little difficulty, patted Gao Fei's shoulder to comfort, and then deliberately diverted Gao Fei's attention and said, "You just said that Ning Xiang went to the Great Ming Moon Palace alone?"

"Yes, my subordinates guessed that she must have conspired with Mu Bai, the master of the Great Ming Moon Palace, to do something bad. ”

"Mu Bai's identity can be clarified?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, only find out that he bought the Bright Moon Pavilion and the Shadow Guard from Gu Liancheng, as for where his money came from, and why he was ruined, his subordinates have no way to verify. ”

"You're already very good, but you just have to rest assured, no matter what Ning Xiang is planning, she won't harm me. ”
