[Strategy of Yanxi Palace] Another year of spring

After the silkworm kissing ceremony, everyone around the emperor knew that the emperor was restless recently and always looked thoughtful.

It's just that every time Li Yu mentioned Concubine Ling, the emperor's face darkened, and he sat there in a daze for a long time.

Today, he really couldn't calm down to deal with the government affairs, put down the imperial pen in his hand, and suddenly ordered the guards around him to prepare the horses, he was going to the countryside for a horse race.

Hai Lancha led a team of guards to follow him, and the emperor rode his horse for a circle in the jungle alone, then tied the horse under a tree, and waved the guards behind him to retreat, leaving only Hai Lancha people.

He was silent for a long time, and Hai Lancha didn't dare to speak, but just stood behind him holding his breath, not knowing what he was thinking now.

The emperor suddenly called him.

"Helancha, I did one thing wrong, and I'm sorry for one person."

Hai Lancha was surprised by what he said, and there were many speculations in his mind, each of which made his back wet with cold sweat.

The emperor put his hands behind his back, stood by the lake, and suddenly mentioned Empress Xiaoxian who had died for many years.

"Many years ago, I told myself that the queen was a good queen. Many years later, I had to tell myself that the queen was not a good queen, but I loved her so much."

Then why did you betray her again?

Hai Lancha subconsciously wanted to ask, but before she could speak, she suddenly realized who the person in front of her was, and her face turned pale.

The emperor didn't realize that he was immersed in the memories of the past, Fucha Rongyin's smiling face appeared in his mind, his eyes became slightly drunk, as if he had returned to the years before.

Hailancha stayed with him by the lake all afternoon.

The emperor decided to go back to the palace, before leaving he sighed: "I suddenly feel that Concubine Chun is very pitiful."

Loved a hopeless person for so many years.

In fact, he knew everything, including who the concubine Chun loved.

It is not difficult to find that after a person dies, all the relevant memories come flooding back, and behind the woman's gorgeous expression like a spring flower, there are many years of falsehood.

Every concubine, after they died, he recalled their past voices and appearances, and he would find the falsehood hidden behind the smiles.

Only Xiaoxian and Concubine Gao, their smiles were innocent, romantic, until later they flashed melancholy shadows, but his shadow was always in their eyes.

On the way back to Beijing, in front of the palace gate, the emperor glanced casually.

The trafficker who was carrying medicinal materials came out from the gate of the palace and saw his eyes tightened.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, he was just a little curious, so he asked a few words casually with a smile.

It's just that the trafficker's expression was too guilty, which made him suspicious and asked Hai Lancha to get off his horse to check.That is the medicinal material for avoiding children, and its source is the Palace of Yanxi Palace.

The emperor's face was ugly, he sat on the horse and said nothing, Hai Lancha looked at him in shock, knowing how much anger was surging under his calm face.

That night, the Yanxi Palace ushered in a furious emperor.

Yingluo was actually quite surprised when she heard the news of his arrival.After all, at the silkworm kissing ceremony last time, he personally said the words "I will never see you again". She suspected that he had changed his mind, so she suppressed the little joy in her heart, and took care of her appearance in front of the mirror, pretending to be happy. He went out calmly.

As she thought, his complexion was not very good-looking, but Yingluo didn't take it too seriously, because this man has always been reluctant to show his face, and when he came back to Yanxi Palace, he would deliberately put on a bad face and wait for her to coax him.

She said hello in a soft voice, and only after she got up did she see his condensed expression, even his eyes were unmoved and indifferent.

Yingluo was startled, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.Before she could ask anything, the emperor waved his hand, and Li Yu behind him motioned for the eunuch to bring a tray.

Yingluo glanced at it, and fully understood in her heart.

It turned out that he knew about Bizitang.

The emperor has been observing her expression, wanting to see her panicked, wanting to see her crying and begging him, as long as she shows any remorse, he will give her a chance.

These days, he is really tired.The truth of Xiaoxian's death made him exhausted. He didn't want to have any more rifts with Yingluo. For the rest of his life, he just wanted to live with her well and never repeat Xiaoxian's mistakes.So even if Ying Luo's incident touched his bottom line, he still endured it, as long as she puts everything down from today and be his woman properly.

But now, her expression has not changed at all, the tenderness and affection she had just now has been replaced by a deadpan expression, her expression is so indifferent and so stubborn, even if she was just a court lady before, as long as she shows such a look, even if Even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, he can't make her bow her head.

The emperor's hopes were dashed.

He was slightly dumbfounded, and after a while, he said, "It seems that you are not willing to defend yourself at all."

Li Yu looked at the expressions of the two masters in the palace, he was burning with anxiety, it seemed that things really couldn't go well tonight, Lingfei's temper was really unpredictable.

The emperor raised his hand, signaling the palace servants to step back.

When Li Yu closed the palace gate, he saw the emperor's cold and serious eyes, and knew that something big was going to happen tonight.If Concubine Ling made a mistake, she would not be able to bear the consequences.

"I don't understand." The emperor closed his eyes and stroked his dizzy head with his beaded hand. He repeated, "I don't understand."

"I'm not good enough for you?"

Yingluo lowered her eyes: "The emperor is good enough for his concubines."

"Why is that? You told me? Why? Why do you still treat me like this when I treat you so well? I thought you changed your mind, but now that I think about it, I probably just want to go back to the palace to avenge Xiaoxian?"

He strode over, grabbed her by the collar, and forced her to look up at him: "Tell me, are you pretending to be a snake to me just to take advantage of me? Do you have a trace of sincerity to me?"

His eyes were red, and when he asked the last sentence, his voice trembled a little, but Yingluo didn't hear it.

"Yes."

Her words were so loud that the emperor subconsciously took a step back.

"The concubine did use the emperor to avenge the late empress. The emperor doesn't need to find other reasons for the concubine. From the beginning to the end, the concubine returned to the palace only for the empress."

The emperor took a deep breath and showed a crying smile.

"Xiaoxian is like this, and you are like this. I have only treated two women differently in my life, but I have to suffer such betrayal. Is there anything I can do to you?"

"You didn't feel sorry for her, and you didn't feel sorry for me. You just felt sorry for your disappointment in your life."

Lingfei said.

In the second half of the night, the sky in the Forbidden City was very dark, and there was no one in the palace, only patrolling eunuchs on the road.A group of palace people carrying lanterns hurried along the palace road. The long line was dead silent, and no one dared to take a breath.

Uninvited guests came to Kunning Palace in the middle of the night. Empress Nala got up and hurried to meet the emperor who came to the door. The whole Kunning Palace was lit with candles, and the lights were brightly lit in the night.

Queen Nala was subconsciously surprised when she saw the emperor.His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his expression was a little slumped, and his whole body was very gloomy.

She felt distressed when she saw it, and quickly stepped forward, took the towel wrung out by the palace man, and wiped the emperor's face with her hand.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The emperor lowered his head, saw the worry on her gentle face, looked up, the palace people in Kunning Palace were busy but orderly, and felt a kind of warmth for a while.

He sighed wearily, and didn't want to talk, Nalashi didn't force him, and helped him to sit on the main seat, but just ordered the palace servants to bring hot tea and snacks, and gently persuaded him to drink some hot tea.

The emperor looked at her with a dazed expression, as if seeing Xiao Xian many years ago.At that time, he was like this, whenever he was in trouble, he would go to her, and her palace would always light candles for him.

Thinking about it, the only old man who has been with him for so many years is the queen.

He couldn't help but asked her: "All these years, you have been by my side. Even though I don't love you very much, you still wait for me to turn back without asking for anything in return. What are you asking for?"

Nala: "The concubine doesn't want anything. The concubine just wants to wait. When the emperor turns around, he can see the concubine. After so many years, the concubine only wants to let the emperor know that whether the emperor likes the concubine or not, as long as you Tired, my concubine will always be behind you waiting for you."

"No, I don't believe it." A strange smile appeared on the emperor's face, "I'm so good to your concubine, but I can't exchange my wholehearted love for you. I have never been special to you, how can there be such a stupid person?" , don’t ask for anything?”

There were thorns in his words, and a bit of harshness on his face, but the queen looked at him with soft eyes, as if she was looking at a sad and arrogant child.

"Whether the emperor believes it or not, the concubines will always stand behind the emperor. After all these years, the concubines have been waiting, so why would they care about the emperor's unscrupulous words?"

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he looked at her probingly, but he only saw the deep love in Nala's eyes.

With a shock in his heart, he raised his hand and stroked her face, only to find that there were a few fine lines at the end of her eyes.

"I... didn't cherish the people in front of me. Now that I think about it, you are the only old man around me. Queen, I don't want to trust anyone anymore, and I only regret that it has been many years before I look back. your gaze."

Tears welled up in Nala's eyes, she smiled but not a smile, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes: "Your Majesty, I will always support you. I am different from the former empress. I understand you and love you. For you, this concubine is willing to do anything."

The emperor looked at her and smiled, "I believe in you."

After the second day, the emperor ordered a large number of treasures to be rewarded to the Kunning Palace, and the empress was favored, and she was in the limelight in the harem.Concubine Shu, who had always been left out in the cold, was summoned for ten consecutive days to win the Sacred Heart.

While the harem was in shock, the Yanxi Palace was left in the cold. The concubine Ling, who used to be the favorite of the Sixth Palace, was not called for two months, confirming the rumors of falling out of favor.

News came from the front line that Fu Heng and Zhao Hui had burned two enemy barracks, and Huo Lan asked people to negotiate a peace.

When the government and the opposition were arguing about this, Fu Heng wrote a letter back to Beijing, strongly suggesting that the court should not agree to this matter easily, unless the head of the Huo Lan tribe went to Beijing for a pilgrimage first, otherwise it would not be considered.A faction in the DPRK objected, and the emperor ordered to adopt Fu Heng's suggestion after deliberating for a while.
