Xia Muling raised her head and looked up at the woman in the pavilion. Her back was standing by the railing, quietly looking at the tranquil lake.

The raindrops fell gently on the lake, blooming slowly like dragonflies touching the water.

Standing in the rain holding an umbrella, she seemed to be hesitating whether to go forward. After all, they had not interacted with each other for a long time.

Seeing her standing there alone, not knowing who she was waiting for.

Yes, Your Majesty?

When she was in Qiongyu Palace, she often asked Lan Shan to inquire about the news between the two of them, but every time she heard about it, she felt envious and a little jealous.

For several months in the palace, she had not even seen the emperor. She always looked at his back from the side, and occasionally she could see the scenes between them making love to each other.

Everything she imagined in her dreams was so beautiful that she didn't want to come out.

Seeing that she was still standing, Lan Shan glanced at the person above her coldly and snorted: "If you want to go up, go up. Don't let anyone know that the sisterhood between you is all fake."

"You want me to go up and chat with her?" After hearing what Lan Shan said, she was still hesitant.

Ye Yilan, if the emperor doesn't love you so much, maybe I will go up and have a heart-to-heart talk with you without hesitation.

But unfortunately, the emperor only loves you. Talking to you is not just mocking myself.

"Now that we are all here, if we meet the emperor, my queen's wish will be fulfilled." Lan Shan can naturally understand what she is thinking, but sometimes she doesn't want to tell her.

wish?

Her wish had been a fantasy long before she entered the palace, but now it was just her own passion.

That day, when she saw the two of them holding hands to greet the Empress Dowager, her heart was always in pain.

She held the umbrella handle tightly in her hand, grabbed her skirt with one hand, took a step involuntarily, and walked up slowly.

"Sister, don't you feel lonely here alone?"

As soon as he heard the voice of the person behind him gradually, he turned around and looked at her with a smile on his lips: "Mu Ling, how are you these days?"

Standing together with her, looking at the lake looking through the autumn water, not far away is the city wall.

In the past, I looked at the city wall and wanted to enter the palace, but now I no longer have the same expectations.

He lowered his head and smiled: "It's not as leisurely as my sister."

Seeing her in such a low mood, Ye Yilan felt in her heart: "What a leisurely day these days are."

Leisure?

Ye Yilan has never felt free. Every time she faces not only Murong Haochen, but also some unrelated people.

And there were so many pairs of eyes staring at herself. In fact, she was afraid of such days.

After hearing her words, I felt that everything was so ridiculous. She didn't know how to enjoy the blessing.

He glanced back at the city wall and asked, "Sister, have you ever thought about leaving the palace and never returning to the palace?"

Looking at Ye Yilan, she secretly said: Ye Yilan, I just want to know if you are willing to leave the palace. Perhaps, as soon as you leave the palace, the emperor will go crazy and look for you. My love for him, you

Have you ever understood?

Xia Muling immediately retracted the sparkling water droplets in her eyes as much as possible to prevent her from noticing.

He turned to look at her sideways and raised the corners of his mouth to cover up the guilt in his heart: "Why do you ask like that?"

"Because, sister has been looking at the city wall, could it be..."

Before Xia Muling finished speaking, she dismissed it directly.

"I never thought about it."

She was destined to stay here, and the imperial edict bound her, preventing her from truly leaving the palace. What's more, she promised Murong Haochen not to leave.

Everything in the past seems to no longer exist.

Xia Muling's words made me extremely curious.

She stood here, not looking at the city wall, she just wanted to be alone and quietly.

What she asked was a bit redundant. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Yes, my sister and the emperor are so in love that they will never leave the palace."

Ye Yilan looked at her eyes, which were extremely bitter. For a woman who clearly loved someone, she must have felt a little sad when she said these words. Holding her cool hand meant that

He asked with deep eyes: "The Emperor has not slept with you. Don't you have any complaints or jealousy?"

Ye Yilan didn't believe that no one would be jealous for the man they loved most.

Even if there is a trace of hatred.

But she had never felt the jealousy of the woman represented by Xia Muling. She had hidden this doubt in her heart for a long time. Now that they were alone, they had a chance to calm down and talk.

"Jealousy naturally exists." She couldn't deny this. However, she laughed at herself in her heart. "But, what's the use? The emperor always loves only my sister, and I can't force it. Unless, my sister doesn't."

If you love the Emperor, you will naturally be jealous. But my sister is much luckier than us to have the Emperor's love, so she will naturally not be jealous."

Today, she didn't know what to say.

She actually tested all of Ye Yilan's words step by step. Instead, she let herself talk to herself.

Ye Yilan let go of her hand. She was right. She would not be jealous if she had everything that others enjoyed.

But she has never been in love, so she is naturally not jealous.

If we talk about jealousy, she seems to have a trace of jealousy, but she doesn't know when this situation will appear.

"Sister, we don't seem to be face-to-face, let's talk heart-to-heart." He sat down holding on to the guardrail, and lowered his hand to paddle the water in the lake, but it was too high. He tilted his head and looked at her, pulling

Her sleeve gestured for her to sit down. "But, sister never knows what I'm thinking about?"

"Actually, I'm also curious about what you are thinking about." Ye Yilan had wanted to ask these words for a long time, but she couldn't think of it. She said it first. "Now, no one disturbs us, and we can have a good time between you and me.

Let's talk quickly."

Although they had not interacted much since they were young, Xia Muling was very willing to come to the Ye family with her. Once, when Ye Yilan found out that the man she fell in love with was Murong Haochen, Ye Yilan saw the beginning of her love in her eyes.

appearance.

But now her eyes were as still as water, without the vitality of the past.

He leaned his head on the guardrail and looked at the eaves above his head. He closed his eyes, and an interesting picture suddenly appeared in his mind. He opened his eyes suddenly, eased his uneasiness and said slowly: "You know, although I don't

I am collaborating with them, but I know that my relationship with you must be closer than theirs. You must believe me, I, Xia Muling, will never do anything to harm you."

"Of course I know that you have always been timid, so how could you do such a thing." He turned to look at her helpless look and felt sorry for her. "However, this harem is really not suitable for us."

This harem is a place where the jungle is strong and the strong prey on the weak. Their personalities are somewhat similar but also somewhat different. But facing the intrigues and intrigues of the harem, it is really not suitable for them.

"If you want to leave, I can inform the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Xia Muling immediately stood up and refused: "No."

How could she give up halfway when she finally entered the palace?

Even if she is not favored, being able to stay with him in this palace is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. This has been her long-cherished wish, how can it be invalidated just now.

"But don't you think that this wishful thinking is not good for anyone."

Wishful thinking?

For Xia Muling, no one can destroy her idea, even if it is wishful thinking.

"But what my sister said is too selfish. Just because the emperor loves my sister, my sister will naturally not understand the pain of those who cannot be loved."

Ye Yilan really didn't understand such pain. Seeing her in such pain, she naturally had to help her. But she didn't understand that everything she did was for her.

The ten-mile-long bridge is slightly green, misty rain and weak spring water.

When the night comes, the dreamer becomes sad, and the sound of the flute outside the wall disturbs the heart.

It's hard to sleep at night with the bead curtains half rolled up, and the dim lights make people feel haggard.

The light of the candle kept flickering, making it difficult for her to fall asleep. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but think of Xia Muling's words.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

Just as she was about to get up, Ye Yilan heard a clear and gentle voice coming from behind her.

He slowly walked towards her, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lovingly.

"But you're waiting for me?"

"No, I just can't sleep."

Ye Yilan was about to let go of her vigilance, relax and rest in his arms. But unexpectedly, he let go of herself.

Hearing what she said, Murong Haochen frowned and said with a serious smile: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have come."

Wei Wei bowed her head and said, "Concubine, I would like to send you to your Majesty."

"Ye Yilan, you..."

Murong Haochen kept staring into her eyes. Seeing the situation, he frowned with a hint of coldness. He opened his arms and said coldly: "Change my clothes for me."

Ye Yilan was silent and slowly stretched her hand towards his belt. Suddenly, he turned around and pressed herself against the wall, their bodies pressed tightly against each other.

A numb exhalation slowly sounded in the ears: "I asked my beloved concubine to change clothes, and my beloved concubine is so impatient?"
