After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"Cui Ling..." Liang Tan sighed softly, "There wouldn't be just a few clean drops of blood on the bedding in the room."

"Why don't I teach you what should be on top?"

Her breath was as fragrant as orchid, and she looked like a fairy. Cui Ling was in a trance and looked back at her blankly, not knowing how to respond.

It was the first time that Liang Tan saw him looking silly, and he couldn't help but laugh for a moment: "Move him away first, you don't want him to occupy the bed all the time, right?"

When he stood in front of the emperor and bent over to pick the man up, he felt the weight on his shoulders and the rich smell of medicine and old man coming from his nose. Only then did he feel a little bit of reality.

After throwing the emperor on the couch, Cui Ling was about to walk towards Liang Tan. However, when he saw that she had already sat on the bed, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat, so he turned back and covered the emperor's head with a blanket.

"Don't suffocate the person." Liang Tan suddenly became worried.

"No, I left a gap." Cui Ling answered and stood beside the bed.

Liang Tan was still worried, so she stretched her head to see the emperor's condition. As she was looking, her vision was suddenly blocked. She was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Cui Ling standing in front of her with her lips pursed.

She suddenly laughed: "So urgent?"

"...No." His ears turned red.

Liang Tan stared at him for a long time, and finally reached out to him gently.

Cui Ling stared at her hand, but had no intention of holding it. It was not until Liang Tan urged him with his eyes that he spoke hesitantly: "Liang Tan, are you feeling wronged?"

Today's scene had appeared in his dreams thousands of times. He knew better than anyone how much he longed for it. However, when the dream became reality, he was filled with fear.

I was afraid that she was helpless, that she was giving it reluctantly, that she was feeling wronged, that she was doing it reluctantly. I was also afraid that after tonight, everything would be like a mirage, disappearing in an instant.

And at this moment, he laid all his fears clearly before her, cut out his entire heart and held it in front of her, asking her to make a decision again.

"I knew you would come, so the sheets and bedding are all brand new." she chuckled.

Cui Ling blinked slowly: "You... knew I would come?"

"Won't you kiss me?"

boom--

My mind went blank and I kissed him.

-

"Move him back, and you can go back." Liang Tan spoke tiredly, his voice still hoarse.

Cui Ling's eyes darkened and his hands that were grabbing the quilt suddenly stopped.

Liang Tan looked up at him and comforted him: "It won't take long, just bear with it."

Cui Ling looked at her after hearing this, and spoke after a long while: "I will protect you."

Liang Tan raised his lips.

After everything was packed up, Liang Tan rolled into the bed and found a clean corner to sleep. Cui Ling stood by the bed for a long time, but finally left.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, the elderly emperor groaned.

Liang Tan, who had already gotten up, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor struggled to open his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he smelled an unusual smell in the room. He looked at his messy clothes and a small stain on the bedding next to him. He was immediately surprised: "My beloved, you are still..."

"What is it?" Liang Tan pretended to be confused. Eunuchs and palace maids eating together is not as simple as eating face to face. Although eunuchs don't have that thing, they still have hands and mouths. It is not difficult to take away someone's virginity, so ordinary people don't want eunuchs' women.

The emperor didn't expect that this was her first time, and he was obviously very excited, but he was also a little confused: "Why don't I remember what happened yesterday?"

"Your Majesty forgot that you drank some wine before going to bed. Don't you often forget what happened after drinking?" Liang Tan complained.

The emperor was stunned: "How do you know that I often forget?"

A trace of bewilderment flashed across Liang Tan's face, and after a long pause, he spoke hesitantly: "I don't know either... I looked at the emperor's face and said it unconsciously."

"Queen! You must be the Queen's reincarnation!" The Emperor was so happy that his breathing became a little difficult.

I didn't see you like it when he was alive, so why are you so excited now? Liang Tan was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "By the way, Your Majesty, the seal holder came last night, and you made him stand outside for two hours according to the rules."

"What is he doing here?" The emperor's face suddenly turned bad. "Is he going to take you away?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Tan knelt down immediately and said, "This servant and the Master Seal Holder are innocent."

The emperor frowned and wanted to ask how it was possible, but the bloodstains on the bed reminded him that what she said was true.

After calming down, he spoke: "You are not his partner?"

"Of course not." Liang Tan looked at him carefully. "I was forced to enter the palace by my parents, so I didn't want to stay, so I went to ask the Master of Seal. The Master of Seal left me to serve in the Imperial Household Department and planned to send me out of the palace in a few days... But I don't know how such a rumor spread."

The emperor snorted coldly: "If you are not his lover, how can he protect you like this?"

"The seal holder said that I am like my old master. My old master was as kind to me as the emperor was to me, so he is willing to protect me." Liang Tan said aloud the words that he had thought about hundreds of times in his mind.

The emperor was slightly stunned, and when he came to his senses, his expression was complicated: "So, I misunderstood him?"

It's done. Liang Tan lowered his head and did not respond to his words.

"Are you still willing to stay in the palace now?" the emperor asked deliberately.

Liang Tan looked at him shyly, then lowered her head hastily: "Your Majesty is strong and powerful, and I admire you so much that I naturally don't want to leave."

The emperor remembered the chaos on the bed when he heard this, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. He rubbed his hands and was about to help him up when a palace servant suddenly rushed in from outside: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Your Majesty!"

"What are you arguing about!" The emperor was interrupted and immediately became dissatisfied.

The palace servant hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Duke Anguo and General Li and Lord Wang are fighting!"

The emperor was stunned: "What's going on?"

"Duke Anguo said that you betrothed Princess Changning to him as a concubine, but General Li and Lord Wang also said that you betrothed Princess Changning to your own son. The three of them started fighting over a disagreement!"

The emperor was shocked: "Ridiculous! How could I marry my daughter to three families..."

Before he finished speaking, he remembered who reviewed the memorial a few days ago, and immediately rushed out with a dark face, but turned back halfway: "My beloved concubine, please stand up. I will issue an edict to give you a title tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Tan agreed calmly, and after he left, he sat down at the table, supporting his aching waist.

However, the emperor did not issue an edict to give her a title the next day, because the mistakes of the previous dynasty were not only the marriage of Princess Changning, but also a series of problems in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites. The emperor was so overwhelmed that he forgot about her matter.

Liang Tan was not in a hurry at all. He ate, drank, and rested until he was almost recovered. Then he asked someone to tell Cui Ling.

So when the court was in chaos, Cui Ling appeared beside the emperor to turn the tide and handle all affairs properly.

Afterwards, the emperor sat listlessly in front of the table, looking at the respectful Cui Ling below and sighed: "Cui Ling, I'm lucky to have you!"

"It is my honor to work for the emperor." Cui Ling lowered his eyes.

The emperor looked at him twice more and said, "I already know everything about Liang Tan."

Cui Ling's fingertips moved.

"She is not your partner, why didn't you say so earlier?" The emperor complained, but there was no anger in his eyes.

Cui Ling replied: "She looks too much like the late queen, and the late queen was kind to me. I have no choice but to disobey the emperor for her. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"Forget it, you are also a pure-hearted person," the emperor snorted, "Now that she has surrendered to me, you don't have to be stuck between us."

"Yes." Cui Ling lowered his head.

"What position do you think I should give her?" The emperor became interested.

Cui Ling remained calm and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."

"But it doesn't matter."

Cui Ling was silent for a moment: "I think that just because she looks so much like the late queen, she should at least be given the title of concubine."

"How dare you say that." The emperor snorted.

Cui Ling lowered her head and said nothing more. The emperor considered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Then let's take the title of consort, Chen."

"Yes."

The matter of conferring the title of princess naturally had to be left to Cui Ling.

It had been a long time since the palace had conferred a high-ranking concubine. As soon as the emperor's decree came out, it immediately caused an uproar, not only because Liang Tan was directly conferred the title of concubine, but also because she was originally Cui Ling's concubine.

When Qian You heard about this, he hurried to the palace to persuade the emperor, but the emperor kicked him in the chest and he had to be supported by others to walk out of the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study, Cui Ling stood quietly. When he saw the person coming, he raised the corner of his lips and said, "Master Qian."

"Master Cui," Qian You said with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, "I didn't expect that Master Cui would be so generous that he would even give up his beloved woman."

"Does your Excellency think that I would disobey the Emperor for a woman?" Cui Ling asked back. Seeing Qian You's depressed expression, his eyes were cold. "Or did your Excellency Qian instigate the Emperor to press on, thinking that I would lose my mind and take my people away directly?"

Qian You was stunned.

"Master Qian, you don't think I didn't guess it, do you?" Cui Ling sneered, with arrogance in his eyes, "What a pity, Master Qian's beautiful dream is doomed to fail."

"Cui Ling, don't be too proud!"

Cui Ling didn't want to look at him and went straight into the imperial study.

The emperor was still angry, and when he saw him come in, he frowned and asked, "Why did you stay outside the door for so long? What did you say to Qian You?"

"In reply to the emperor, Lord Qian slandered the innocence of me and Concubine Chen. I was so angry that I argued with him for a few sentences."

"This Qian You!" The emperor became even angrier.

Cui Ling glanced at him and said, "Not only Qian You, but also other officials. Your Majesty... My reputation is worthless, but Concubine Chen is your woman. If she is slandered like this again, I am afraid that it will be Your Majesty who will suffer in the end."

"He must be punished." The emperor's face tightened.

Cui Ling lowered his eyes. There was no need to say more. There would be others to help him do it anyway.

Three days later, Qian You was thrown into prison for spreading rumors.

When Liang Tan heard about this, he had just moved into Chenshi Palace. Looking at the familiar courtyard, he was very emotional: "I didn't expect that after going around in circles, I would end up back here."

"At the beginning, I always thought that the queen would come back, so I asked people to take good care of every plant and tree here."

Cui Ling's voice came from behind. Liang Tan turned around with a smile, ran over and hugged him.

Cui Ling raised the corner of his lips: "Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"Who inside and outside Chenshi Palace is not yours?" Liang Tan raised his eyebrows.

Cui Ling's smile deepened: "Even so, you should be extremely careful."

"I understand." Liang Tan turned and walked into the house.

Cui Ling followed.

Cui Ling didn't leave until the afternoon, and before leaving he reminded her: "The Emperor will come tonight."

"I know, so I have prepared the medicine." Liang Tan shook the thing in his hand.

Cui Ling smiled and took out another medicine from his pocket: "Give him this."

"What is this?" Liang Tan asked curiously.

"It's something that makes people dream and unable to distinguish between reality and dreams," Cui Ling said, with a hint of disgust in his eyes. "If he couldn't forget every time, I wouldn't use it on him."

Just thinking about him desecrating her in her dream made Cui Ling unable to control the murderous intent in her heart.

Liang Tan already understood, and patted his shoulder soothingly: "Don't worry, wait another month, and he will be fine."

Cui Ling looked gentle and nodded seriously.

That night, the emperor came.

Not only that night, but also for the next half month, the emperor stayed in Chenshi Palace. The beautiful dreams induced by the drugs made him mistakenly believe that he had regained his virility, and for a while even his spirits improved a lot.

Unfortunately, people's sense of novelty is very limited. Half a month later, he went to other concubines. Liang Tan breathed a sigh of relief and counted the time.

A month later, the emperor suddenly fell ill and was bedridden. The memorials requesting the establishment of a crown prince once again floated into the palace like snowflakes, which made the emperor, who was already afraid of death, very angry. When he was about to vent his anger on several court officials, good news came from the Chenshi Palace -

Concubine Chen is pregnant.

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the news and quickly called the imperial physician over. The imperial physician was also excited: "Your Majesty, it has been nearly two months and the pulse is very strong. It is likely that the prince is healthy."

Both health and the prince are extremely important to the emperor. After all, none of his previous children survived to adulthood.

The imperial physician heard his concern and repeatedly assured Concubine Chen that she was in good health and there was absolutely no problem.

The emperor was delighted now, and immediately ordered Cui Ling to announce to the world that the fetus in Liang Tan's belly would be the crown prince, and that Liang Tan would be the queen.

To make an unborn child the crown prince was an unheard of and absurd thing. However, the emperor insisted on his own way and had many supporters among the court officials. The voices of opposition could only become smaller and smaller. Everyone hoped that Liang Tan could give birth to a princess.

The 'pregnant' Liang Tan became the queen, but she did not move to Fengxi Palace. Instead, she spent her days eating and drinking in Chenshi Palace. Her explanation for this was: "Fengxi Palace is unlucky, I don't want to go back."

Cui Ling thought of the scene of her lying on the floor of Fengxi Palace covered in blood, and agreed with what she said.

Eight months later, Liang Tan "gave birth" to a prince, completely disappointing all the court officials who were hoping she would give birth to a daughter.

During these eight months, the emperor's health has completely deteriorated. The former fat old man is now just skin and bones. However, in order to ensure that Liang Tan's son can succeed to the throne safely, Cui Ling used extremely strong drugs on him.

In the last two months of his life, he could no longer speak clearly, so Cui Ling naturally cut him off from the outside world.
