When she woke up and opened her eyes, the room was brightly lit.

Murong Haochen's figure has long disappeared.

My body was a little weak, but I still couldn't restrain myself from getting out of bed.

"The lady finally woke up."

Sitting at the table, unaware of the person in front of him, he rubbed his head and asked, "How many hours have I been asleep?"

"The young lady has been sleeping for three hours. The emperor said that the slaves should not disturb the young lady."

"Are you Caifeng?" She gradually woke up, and the man's voice sounded like the same person. She walked forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Miss is confused? It was the emperor who asked the slave to come into the palace to take care of the lady."

It is said that he must have sent Caifeng to the palace because he overheard the conversation with his brother yesterday.

Murong Haochen, if I hadn't said those words, would you have let Caifeng enter the palace?

"Then, did the Emperor ask you anything?"

"I didn't give any special instructions to this slave." He suddenly remembered: "By the way, the emperor said that the lady must stay here tonight."

For some reason, Ye Yilan gradually adapted to his arrangement.

"The lady is in the palace, I don't know..."

"Caifeng, please don't say anything about this at will from now on." If Murong Haochen knew about it, based on his character, no woman he recognized would be able to betray him.

She did her best to conceal the matter so that no one knew about her previous relationship with Murong Haoli.

Frustrated, he said: "I have been the emperor's concubine since the late emperor's decree. Even if I don't love him, I have to think about my father and brother."

"According to Caifeng's observation, the emperor is very attentive to the young lady. Long ago, Caifeng felt that the emperor had some affection for the young lady."

"When did you say?"

Caifeng did not tell what happened that night during the hunt. She took out the clothes prepared by the emperor himself and put them on for the young lady: "Miss, don't you think that every time the young lady encounters danger, the emperor is the first one to show up."

According to Caifeng, it was indeed him who appeared every time.

"Come for a walk with me."

It was approaching night, and she didn't know where to go in Chenlan Palace. It was worth her while to take a look at the card.

Seeing a brightly lit room, he asked the maid in the palace: "Where is this?"

"To tell you the truth, this is the emperor's study."

"Empress?" She had not yet been canonized by Murong Haochen, so he was not used to hearing her address him.

"The emperor ordered the people in the palace that although the empress has not been given a title, she will be called empress for the time being."

After thinking about it, the only place to go was the study room. I heard Zi Ling mention it a long time ago, and you can't make any decisions without his permission.

"Can your Majesty say that no one is allowed in the study?"

"Back to your Majesty, the Emperor has said that you can move around the Chenlan Palace as you please."

He only said that he could move around freely, but did not say that the study was not allowed to be entered.

I have nothing to do, so I just want to calm down and go to the study to read.

"Cai Feng, please go back first."

"Miss, please come back soon."

In fact, she was worried that the young lady would be alone, but when she was in the palace, she did not want to be disturbed when she was studying. But when she thought about it, this was the emperor's inner court and there wouldn't be too many things, so she felt at ease.

As soon as Ye Yilan entered, she walked to the table without hesitation and saw a painting spread out on the table.

In the painting, the woman lies peacefully under the tree, with fallen orchids covering her body.

"The fleeting time is devoted to pen and ink, and late at night I suddenly dream of a young man with dark eyebrows."

This poem must have been written by him.

He picked up the pen with great interest and continued to write: "As time goes by, I look back on the past, and in a blink of an eye I can remember the past."

"What are you doing?"

Just as he put down the pen in his hand, a cold voice came.

Ye Yilan immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Murong Haochen couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard her calling him his concubine.

After reading this poem silently, I couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "Don't talk about loneliness, don't complain about separation. It's a good thing not to complain about separation."

"My concubine, I just wrote it casually. If the emperor doesn't like it, just destroy it."

Hearing his displeased voice, she was about to step forward and pick up the painting when his hot hands wrapped around her slender waist and held her head with one hand.

"If you destroy this painting, I will destroy you immediately."

"I don't understand what the emperor has to say?"

He said indifferently: "Don't understand?"

Murong Haochen turned around and pushed her down on the chair.

"Can you understand it now?"

At that moment, he saw the fearful eyes dodge, which reminded him that she was afraid of him. At this moment, his heart was like water on an icy lake, so cold.

Gradually the stern look in his eyes dissipated, and he said softly: "Lan'er, in five days, I will hold the enthronement ceremony. Do you want to go?"

She didn't want to go to such an occasion at all, so she said politely: "I have not been canonized by the emperor, so it is not appropriate for me to go."

"I will give the order tonight."

Seeing his serious attitude, he grabbed the body that was about to stand up and said, "No."

"Why? Is it possible that you want to resist the decree?"

"Didn't the emperor say that I would like to let my concubine stay in the palace forever? Can you please go back to the Ye Mansion before you become a concubine?"

She didn't ask for much, she just wanted this. Seeing that he was silent, she expressed her feelings to him: "If the emperor is worried, you can ask Ziling to accompany your concubine. After all, Ziling is the emperor's person."

I have not seen my father in the past few days and I miss him very much.

She understood her father and he never dared to disobey the emperor's orders. But she had many things she didn't know and she had to ask her father for information.

What happened in this? Why, everything has changed.

"No. When I gave Ziling to you, you were her master. It was not mine."

Indeed, he wanted Ziling to follow her before because he wanted to know all her actions. But then he gave up. He didn't want her to think she was spying, so he gave Ziling to her to reassure her.

Smiling evilly, arousing a trace of bad intentions: "If you want to go back home, it depends on how satisfied you are with me today. I'm considering letting you go back."

"The emperor wants to..."

Ye Yilan didn't know what he had to do to agree to let her go back.

This time, he did not pick her up, but held her hand and walked to the palace.

"No one is allowed to come tonight."

"My slave understands——"

Listening to these words, Ye Yilan felt even more inexplicably uneasy.

"Undress me."

Seeing him, Ye Yilan stretched out her hands to untie his clothes. Her trembling hands kept shaking, and she didn't dare to untie his clothes.

"Why not?" He turned around and pressed close to her: "Do you want me to do it for you again?"

I thought he would untie her clothes, but unexpectedly, I reached for Ye Yilan's belt with both hands and pulled it out quickly.

Before she could react, his belt had already been thrown to the ground.

The pink bellyband appeared looming in front of him.

Murong Haochen kept staring at her body, as if he wanted to see through every part of her body.

Just as she was about to cover her open clothes, he stopped her: "I haven't taken off my clothes yet. Do you think my beloved concubine doesn't want to go back to Ye Mansion?"

"If the emperor's hands are still restless, I will..."

He turned around, rested his head on her shoulder, and said jokingly: "What do you want, my dear concubine?"

"My concubine will undress the emperor." This intimate touch made her afraid of how Murong Haochen would treat her. She could only obey his orders.

With panicked hands, he untied his belt with trembling hands.

Take them off one by one, arrange them and hang them on hangers.

"My beloved concubine helped me take off my clothes, do I have to..."

He hugged her again from behind and looked at her teasingly.

"Concubine, just do it yourself."
