The moon is hooked, and the stars are as numerous as jade hanging on the night sky.

The candles are bright, and I return home in the melancholy and lonely night.

Stepping into the Qinlan Hall again, I looked at the withered purple magnolia in the courtyard. It was in full bloom for a while, but in the end it could not withstand the decline.

Slowly bending down to pick it up, he sighed silently: I wish I could be content with something and always be happy. Don't be greedy for temporary vanity.

Standing here, it feels like a lifetime ago. Although everything has not changed, it still feels strange. She has never been greedy for everything, and she is not pure-minded. And these are not what she really wants in her heart. Since entering the palace, she has never really wanted anything.

Happy. Only when the two of them are outside the palace can they feel happy.

From today on, she will no longer force him to make his promise to her. She only wants to stay with him and that will be enough.

The colorful phoenix came out of the palace and saw the empress standing under the purple magnolia tree, silently staring at the fallen petals in her hands.

Walking very lightly, he stood beside the empress and said: "Empress, the emperor is in the palace."

After hearing this, she turned around and stared at the brightly lit bedroom. She had forgotten that she had turned a blind eye to him since she was in the Heyi Palace. But he just stood aside, watching silently. Sometimes he would also question himself, how could he have been like this for a long time?

If you treat him like this, will you hate yourself?

I know I shouldn't doubt everything, but I'm afraid.

He kept looking at the candlelight, but asked: "Did the Emperor say anything?"

"not at all."

When Caifeng saw the emperor coming alone, she walked straight into the palace. From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word.

Ye Yilan had a helpless smile on her lips. She had forgotten that he didn't want to talk too much. He just wanted to stay quietly by himself and didn't want to be disturbed too much.

His temper needs to be changed, otherwise it will be unbearable.

"Everyone is going down tonight, there is no need to keep vigil."

"Yes, I will leave this slave."

Since he wanted to be alone, he had to send everyone away so that he would not be disturbed.

The moment her hand touched the door, she hesitated. After thinking for a while, she gently pushed the door open and closed it softly.

It was when he closed his eyes and rested that he moved very slowly.

In the past, he would stand with his back down waiting for him to come back, but now it was rare for him to see him like this.

Seeing him sleeping leaning on the bedpost, his eyebrows were still tightly knitted. It seemed that he hadn't relaxed his eyebrows for a long time. He reached out and stroked his handsome face. Only from such a close distance could he see him looking so handsome at this moment.

The meaning of tiredness.

Her hands slowly reached towards his waist, and her eyes looked at him from time to time, fearing that he would finally sleep peacefully and not wanting to wake him up.

With gentle movements, you took off his belt. When you opened his coat and was about to take it off, you were embraced by him and lay in your arms. The voice that came slowly was slightly heavy with sleepiness, and there was a hint of laziness.

Even if you are lazy, you can still feel the steady breathing sound.

"You are so anxious that you want to serve me tonight?"

He still closed his eyes. If there hadn't been a slight movement just now, he wouldn't have woken up.

"The emperor is about to go to bed, so naturally I have to wait on the emperor to undress." This time he did not hold his body tighter, but held his head with one hand and gently stroked his hair. Gradually, he stopped.

, and there was no movement.

She raised her eyes slightly and saw that his eyes were still closed. He was asleep now and awake now, which was quite scary. He called softly: "Hao Chen——"

Listening to her calling him, he hugged her body tighter and jokingly said: "If you call me again, I'm afraid you will be lucky."

Murong Haochen slowly opened his eyes, looked at her with a half-smile, and tickled the tip of her nose teasingly: "Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight. Let me hold you to sleep, okay?"

If he was lucky enough, he actually wouldn't care at all. After all, he hadn't really touched her body yet. But she just didn't want him to touch her.

He obviously knew that it was impossible to be with Murong Haoli, and also knew that he was cruel. But he didn't know at all, why was he hesitating?

Perhaps, he said it, but he never wanted to. After all, he was waiting for himself to speak. However, how could he say this all the time?

In fact, she was really scared every time he touched her. But she didn't feel scared last night because of her status at that time and she couldn't bear it. If she really wanted to have fun with him, she would naturally not be a slave or a concubine.

body.

Gradually, she suddenly understood. In fact, what she had always said about being a couple for life was that she could only give her body to the one she loved. But he was the emperor after all. Why did she reject him that day in the palace?

.If we get married on that day, neither of us will feel like we have lost each other.

She moved her body a bit, stepped forward and lay in his arms, put her arms around his neck, and asked softly: "Are you tired?"

Playing with her hair, he looked down at her face with affectionate eyes: "I'm tired, but I have a severe headache."

Headache?

"I'll rub it for you first so that your head won't hurt tomorrow morning." After hearing this, Ye Yilan helped him up, but he secretly smiled at the corner of his mouth. She knelt on the bed and rubbed his

Acupoint. "Is it better?"

Murong Haochen closed his eyes and responded in a muffled voice. With this relief, he felt a little more comfortable. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and kissed her hand affectionately. He pretended to sigh: "I have a headache."

, all because of you."

After hearing this, he pulled his hand away from him and turned his back to him angrily: "When did I bother you? You have a headache. Don't accuse me randomly."

Seeing that she looked so angry again, he hugged her from behind and kissed her chin very intimately.

"Why are you ignoring me this morning? You have to turn a blind eye to me. Of course I want to make you happy, but it hurts your mind. The thought of you being unhappy gives me a severe headache."

So he took a sneak peek at her expression at the moment and tickled her nose in a funny way: "You said it was because of you?"

Ye Yilan couldn't help but touch her nose at that hook.

If it weren't for what he did today, Tai Wei would be puzzled by others. Naturally, he would not want to pay attention to him before he thought clearly. He twisted his body angrily, extremely unwilling to let him touch: "The emperor said,

You can only listen, not ask."

She actually kept these words in mind. But after hearing it, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"You have completely seen through what happened today." He leaned her body back in his arms, got close to her face, and looked into her eyes. There was always a doting smile in his eyes. "

I just didn't expect that you would cooperate with me so much. Let the eldest grandson Wanji handle this matter naturally."

There was a hint of snickering in the corner of Ye Yilan's mouth, but instead she said in a sullen voice: "I am a talented woman of the first class who was canonized by the late emperor. Naturally, the emperor can't hide this trick from me."

She twisted out of her arms and looked directly into his eyes, her contemplative eyes slightly filled with deep meaning, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor wants to use Concubine Shu to suppress the queen, but I don't know who the emperor wants to use this to get rid of?"

It is completely impossible to say that his behavior has no purpose. After all, he does a precise job, so how can he have no purpose?

Who to get rid of?

At this moment, he doesn't want to get rid of anyone.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, but raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth: "You have already guessed it, why do you still need to ask me?"

"Concubine Shu, after all, is Xia Qianyi's sister. If you want her to submit to you, you must not touch her."

After hearing his words, I felt slightly uneasy.

If he really took advantage of this matter and asked his eldest grandson Guanji to point the finger at Xia Muling and let them fight each other, it would be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

After all, the eldest grandson Guanji attaches great importance to the position of queen. What he did was only letting Xia Muling gain power and making her lose power. But the position of queen still could not be moved. Although he guessed what he was thinking one by one.

However, the specific purpose in his heart is really unknown.

But why did he have to deal with Xia Muling as well? Could it be all because of Xia Qianyi?

Can't touch her?

Some things are not as simple as she thought. Anyone who achieves great things should be removed as long as it is beneficial to endanger her own status, instead of being merciful and harming herself.

Xia Muling didn't care whether she threatened her or not, but no matter what, his brother and her were naturally on the same line. Since he couldn't guard against Xia Qianyi, he had no choice but to attack him.

"Since the moment you told him, although he made no movement, he began to be wary of me. Concubine Shu has never received divine favor, and not everyone is jealous."

He reached out and touched her face affectionately, murmuring in his heart: Lan'er, your kindness will always be your weakness.

Jealousy?

She has always had Xia Muling. After all, she has loved Haochen far longer than she has. But this morning, she was really jealous of that scene. How could this tenderness that should clearly belong to her...

In this regard, I am too selfish. I shouldn't have such thoughts to disturb my original heart.

"Then, everything you said that day was the truth?" After gradually thinking about it, I began to doubt the authenticity of what he said. But when I thought about him learning about the letter, I took a step back and continued, "You."

If you don't believe me, you don't have to tell me."

The smooth hand never left her cheek.

She may have cared about the words in the letter. After all, she didn't care at all about the matter. Since the matter was over, why bother worrying about it.

"Whether it's true or not, if he had acted in any way in the past, would you have thought about the past friendship?"

"Won't."

Murong Haochen heard her hesitate for a moment, but she continued: "No one can threaten your throne."

For Ye Yilan, if she valued the past friendship and that person did not do so, why should she care about the word friendship anymore. She had made everything clear to Xia Qianyi long ago, so he would naturally not care about it.

I will do anything. However, some things still cannot be judged based on my heart.
