Withered and detached, a solitary figure dances in ink every night to express his long love.

A wisp of emotion wipes away thousands of tears.

The candle shadow shakes and I sleep alone at night, and the sound of the string strings tells me how sad I am.

How can we explain the long longing for a few clear words?

Looking at the letter he left behind when he left, there were only four lines, which revealed the "thoughts" between them.

Today, she didn't know when Murong Haochen would leave.

He was right, a few words of love could not relieve the pain of missing her at all. The feeling seemed very strong, and I had never felt the pain of thinking about it before.

Murong Haochen, I seem to have fallen into the whirlpool of your love. But I keep telling myself that I can't love you. Your identity is not enough for me to love. I'm sorry——

She locked the letter in a wooden box. All the items he had given her were stored here. She almost couldn't bear to part with them, so she could only keep them with care.

Looking at the brocade box aside, it was a jade pendant given by Murong Haoli during the Chinese Valentine's Day. The word "Chen Lan" made her doubtful no matter how much she thought about it.

But when she asked him about it at first, he denied it. Thinking of his firm look, she believed it. On the other hand, how could he, such a proud person, go to such a lively scene on Chinese Valentine's Day?

Thinking of some past events, she couldn't help but smile. She looked up at herself in the mirror and realized that she actually smiled when she thought of him.

These two wooden boxes have been kept by herself, and no one knows what is inside. And the brocade box he gave is still locked, and she has no idea what it is. Even if she is curious, she promised him,

You are not allowed to open it privately.

That night was perhaps the scene that impressed her the most. He did things without knowing what would happen next. All the surprises he brought were just for himself. And what did she do to him?

She didn't even give him the Peace Talisman. What was she hesitating about?

She walked to the window and picked up the sachet she made with Han Xin that day. The fragrance of the flowers lingered on the tip of her nose and could not be dissipated.

"Slave, please give my regards to your Majesty."

While her thoughts were still reverberating, Caifeng's appearance made her look back. She put down the sachet in her hand, with a trace of moisture in her eyes. She frowned, and she kept suppressing her emotions.

"Cai Feng, prepare me a palace maid's dress."

He went up to help him, but as soon as he came in, he saw the empress standing in front of the window, looking extremely helpless. He couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Empress, where are you going?"

"Leave the palace." In fact, she didn't know where to go. Going out of the palace might be the best choice.

Since then, my brother told me that he can leave the palace as long as he comes to him. Now that I think about it, wouldn't he know that he left the palace?

You must never go to your brother or let him know about it.

Hearing this, Caifeng felt uneasy and tried to dissuade her: "If the emperor knows about this, the empress will be punished. The harem has been extremely uneasy these days."

Not peaceful?

In the past few days, she had not felt anything unusual in the harem.

His eyes narrowed and he looked at Caifeng with conviction: "What happened?"

"In the harem, I don't know who killed a cat, and I heard that someone gave the dead cat to the queen. As soon as the emperor heard about it, he sent those talkative maids to..." Although she didn't see it

The scene of a pool of blood is horrifying to mention.

Hearing this, Ye Yilan opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe that he could be so cruel. She held the tea cup tightly with both hands and shuddered a little.

"Because of this matter, none of the female relatives in the harem are allowed to leave the palace." Zi Ling heard about this matter as soon as she entered the door. Although this matter was not widely publicized, the emperor's actions shocked everyone. Even the Queen Mother wanted to take care of it, but she couldn't.

Nothing can be done.

"I'm afraid, there must be someone behind this matter." She pondered, and subconsciously raised her eyes to see the two of them. Since they knew about this matter, it must not be as simple as they said. "Are you hiding something from me?

?" Based on my understanding of Murong Haochen, something must have touched him, otherwise he would not have done this. This approach is surprising.

Seeing this, she winked like Caifeng and comforted her, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."

"Caifeng, tell me." Ye Yilan looked at Caifeng, because Ziling would never tell her the truth.

She was in a dilemma, so she had no choice but to tell her queen the truth one by one.

"Everyone in the palace said that in order to get the position of queen, the empress deliberately warned the queen with a dead cat. The cause of death of the dead cat was very strange. It is said that its eyes were gouged out. All the cats in the palace died in strange ways.

Already."

In recent days, Ye Yilan could hear the sound of cats. She thought it was the cat in heat, and someone must have done something behind the scenes.

But Caifeng's words always felt full of loopholes, which once again made her fall into doubt: "These rumors are not enough to make me have any unreasonable thoughts about the position of queen."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which seemed gentle but more like a sharp blade.

Seeing the situation, Caifeng didn't dare to hide anything anymore: "Because the queen loves cats very much, it is said that the empress used this to warn the queen, 'What you like will one day be lost'; therefore, the emperor gave the order."

"

As soon as she finished speaking, Caifeng lowered her head silently, not daring to look into her empress's eyes. She always felt that those clear eyes were vaguely as cold as the emperor's.

I heard that this thing was simply unbelievable. He stood up angrily. When he saw the two of them, he took a deep breath and tried hard to control his heart and calm it down. He said slowly: "Why don't you tell me?

?"

Another rumor caused him to massacre them again.

Murong Haochen, why do you do this for me? On the contrary, you make me feel terrible.

Ye Yilan looked at her hands, remembering the scene where her fingers were intertwined with his, and couldn't help but tremble: Your love for me is unquestionable. Your hands are already covered in blood.

"Everyone in the harem has shut their mouths about this matter, and they don't dare to discuss it. I, my slave, originally kept this matter a secret, but who thought that the empress would leave the palace at this time, so..."

For them, as long as this matter does not affect Qinlan Palace, there will not be any threat to the empress.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has settled this matter. He is just afraid that someone in the harem will frame your Majesty. Today, it would be better for Your Majesty not to leave the palace." Zi Ling knew that at this moment, Her Majesty wanted to leave the palace. She was just worried that someone would know about it.

The empress will definitely take advantage of this matter when she leaves the palace.

"Today, I have to leave the palace." Seeing the two of them looking worried, he said again. "Don't worry, I will definitely come back before dark."

"But, concubine..."

At this moment, she couldn't listen to anyone at all, and intercepted Zi Ling's words: "Zi Ling, I trust you, don't let me down."

"Slave, I'm just worried about your queen's safety." She knew the meaning of her words, but she just didn't agree with her leaving the palace today.

Looking at the two of them, he shook his head with a sigh, put her and their hands in his palm, the smile in his eyes no longer looked like a sharp knife, and gently patted the back of their hands: "I'm just going back to my house, what's the matter?"

I'm worried. I just don't want anyone to know."

"Empress, the emperor did this for your sake. But as soon as the empress left the palace, she lost her temper." I knew that it would be useless to say more. I just wanted to let the emperor know that everything the emperor did was for the sake of the empress.

Should be so impulsive.

"Don't worry about this."

She knew clearly that everything Zi Ling said was for herself, but she still rejected her intention.

Caifeng has followed the empress for many years and naturally knows her temperament. No matter how much Zi Ling says, it is useless. She pulled her hand away, bowed slightly and said, "Slave, I will prepare for the empress."

"Zi Ling, this time, let me be the master."

Today, she had to leave the palace no matter what. In fact, she didn't know why she wanted to leave the palace so strongly this time.

She just wanted to go to a place, an extremely quiet place, to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in her heart.

"Since the empress has made a decision, I dare not stop you." Zi Ling raised her eyes and looked at the frail woman in front of her. She saw the matter clearly. But she could see that she was confused about everything the emperor did.

.It seems that I am trapped in the net and cannot break free.

Presumably, the emperor's love for her was so strong that she couldn't even notice it. At this moment, she was no longer the woman who could see clearly at the beginning.

Zi Ling prayed silently: The empress will leave the palace today, I hope everything will go well.

Along the way, Ye Yilan walked around from time to time, for fear of recognizing her. The men's clothing Caifeng prepared was indeed not too conspicuous.

He walked in a hurry and walked extremely fast.

Before she could react, she bumped into someone. The man hugged her and quickly pushed him away. But the man looked at the person in front of him curiously.

Ye Yilan couldn't help but raise her eyes and immediately greeted him: "See Chen..."

"Brother Xia, I don't want others to know." Ye Yilan stopped him from doing this, looked around nervously, and said softly.

Xia Qian also saw her dressed in men's clothing. This was the first time he had seen her in this outfit. When he saw her again, she looked so panicked. She narrowed her eyes and asked in confusion: "Mother, are you just going there?"

At this moment, she didn't want to explain anything to him. Seeing that he was going to the road that was taking him out of the palace, she asked, "Brother Xia, are you going to leave the palace?"

"Exactly." This time he entered the palace to see his sister, but there was no sign of Lan Shan. Unexpectedly, he saw her today.

Originally, she wanted to find Han Xin, but now she could only find Xia Qianyi. She took his arm and begged, "Why don't you take Yi Lan out of the palace?"

Seeing that she was eager to leave the palace, he did not hesitate at all: "Since the empress said so, Xia will agree to this."

He was still so nervous just now, but he felt a lot more relaxed now. Her gentle smile almost made him fall into her trap. He coughed softly and said, "Just follow me."

Ye Yilan nodded quickly and followed him silently.

As soon as Xia Qianyi got on the carriage, he reached out to help her, but when he saw her avoiding him, he forgot about their identities at this moment.

Hidden under the seat, her heart was beating non-stop, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

As soon as Xia Qianyi opened the curtain, the carriage was already in the market. He immediately opened the seat and helped her up: "Your Majesty, we have left the palace."
