"Empress, please listen to what this subject has to say." He sighed slightly.
I smiled and tilted my head to look at him. "Do you know why I put down my muslin to meet you? "Because I don't want to see you like you are now. It's not like you in my memories, you should be the same as before."
He was embarrassed as he said, "Empress, please forgive this subject. For the sake of the willow tree, can you put aside your previous hatred?"
"When my mother died, she was buried on the grave of our Yun Family, it has nothing to do with the Yang Family. Master Yang, you can really leave now." I began to speak harshly.
He had no choice but to leave.
He went into the study gloomily, but could not write a single word. After a while, he came in and gave me a book. There was the Yang family's family tree written there, and my name appeared on it. He sent it to me, hoping that I would agree.
With a cold smile, I tore the paper off and tore it into pieces.
The reason why she sighed was, "Empress might not have done this. If the Yang family had been behind it, no one in the palace would have said anything about the Empress's identity."
I looked up at her and said, "Why, do you know what it's like when a person is in despair? He said not to hate him, and I said, I don't hate him. But one day, he held a lot of things, a lot of benefits to beg of you, because your status is different, make him learn to bark like a dog, maybe he knows all about it, how can I not hate him, what does he take me for? In this palace, it would be difficult for the empress dowager to look down on me, but what kind of person am I? Or what kind of person am I?
I was so excited that I almost cried.
The reason for this silence was to quietly tidy up everything. "Empress, don't be sad. This servant thinks that this will be better for Empress. This servant was wrong."
She's not wrong, it's just that I really hate the Yang family, it's okay if it never happens, there's no need to do that again.
Everyone has their own ambitions. Although the Yang family is my family, and my backer is nothing to me, but I would rather not have those.
No matter how tall she was, Li Fei would still end up in a miserable state.
The next day, he went back to the forest and quietly listened to his senior brother play.
As soon as the zither music stopped, he said in dissatisfaction, "Your body's dry air is too strong, affecting my mood. It also affected my zither, causing you to be ten steps away from me."
"Senior apprentice-brother." I wailed, "I want to hear more."
"But I don't want to play." He scowled.
I'm not afraid, he's just a paper tiger, let's just let him be. I have a somewhat despicable personality, I would rather he spoke to me like this than to hear him respectfully address me as Lady Wan Yi.
"Why don't you tell me what's bothering you?" He won't let me go, just like before.
I held my head and helplessly said, "It's just a matter of old age."
The moment he heard his words, he angrily knocked my head twice, "Yun Zhiqiu, are you asking for a beating? Not only are you annoying me, but you're also telling me that I don't dare to hit you just because you did Wan Yi."
He hugged his head and cried out in pain. He wasn't really going to beat me up. Looking at me in such a pitiful state, he said unhappily, "What a pitiful appearance. You don't even look like you're being tactful at all. I really didn't know what your majesty took a fancy to."
I smiled. "Don't you realize that I'm becoming more and more beautiful?"
His face turned pale and his body trembled for a moment. "Yun Zhiqiu, don't force me to throw up the dinner we shared the other night."
I'm not that cute. Am I that miserable? If it were not for my looks and ego, the Emperor would not be the only one to want me.
"Zhiqiu." He sighed and called out, "You're not happy right now. Not at all."
"After entering the palace, how can I still be the same as before?"
"In my opinion, Yun Zhiqiu is a girl who isn't afraid of death, and he also knows how to act innocent."
"Hehe, in my opinion, senior brother is just a peacock with his tail spread high, but his feathers are broken. "Ah, Senior Brother, you hit me again, I'll find the Emperor to teach you a lesson."
He turned his face to me and asked seriously, "Zhiqiu, will you regret it?"
I shook my head. There was no regret in the palace because there was no turning back.
"When you're in a bad mood, just talk to me like this. It doesn't matter if you're Wan Yi right now or concubine in the future, you're still my junior sister."
Senior Brother is so good. I leaned on his shoulder and leaned on it for a while. I wanted to rely on it to calm my mind down.
Then he stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. "Time to go back." It was not good to be here for too long. Just now, the palace maid was already standing far away from him.
After walking far away, she turned around and smiled at him gratefully.
The green was so deep that it made people want to shout, making them feel happy.
Returning to the palace, I wrote a note. What does the Yang family matter, how can they make me so depressed?
"Ball, come and print a footprint." He called out and really did come over.
Holding it so that its claws would be stained with ink, I imprinted it on the paper. Who knew that it would shrink back into my clothes, then break free from my embrace and try to escape.
"Aiya, hurry and catch it." I cried out. What a disobedient ball! Step by step, I jumped onto the table. Finished! It was a beautiful tablecloth. The maid pounced on it and it was still empty.
It really was a cat that made the Moon Viewing Hall jump up and down.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager has an order." A sonorous voice forcefully turned the Moon Viewing Hall into a field of cold silence.
I followed my father-in-law into Her Majesty's palace. I don't know why she suddenly called me, but I felt very uneasy.
He went in and found the emperor there too, not looking at me with a cold face.
He felt even more uneasy as he respectfully paid his respects. What I got in return was her disdainful and contemptuous gaze. Sigh, she looks down on me. No matter what I do, she won't be able to see through me.
She raised her sharp eyes and made me feel a chill in my heart. She coldly said, "Wan Yi, do you know why I sent you here?"
"To reply the empress dowager, Zhi Qiu really doesn't know."
She suddenly laughed. "Your majesty, do I think that there's an extra honored guest in the palace or a new princess?"
The emperor's expression turned increasingly unsightly. He said icily, "Yun Zhiqiu, do you want me to teach you how to claim your identity?"
"Chenqie doesn't dare." As expected, every word was sharp when it came to scheming.
"I wouldn't dare, but you seem to be getting bolder and bolder." Her voice was getting colder.
"It's unknown what chenqie did to make Esteemed Empress Dowager so angry." The clay figure also had a temper, so he shouldn't go too far in bullying others.
I've never liked calling myself concubine. The word had a subtle feel to it.
The empress dowager gave a cold laugh. "Yun Zhiqiu, the palace rules. This one sees that you've lived in vain. How can the palace allow you to not corrupt the rules? I don't know the morals of women …"
"Mufei." he cried faintly, interrupting her reproach.
I really didn't know, and nobody told me.
"Hmph, Your Majesty, you're still protecting her. Could it be that you can't see all this evidence?" The empress dowager was very angry. "Bring it up."
I saw that the palace maid had brought something, white paper, and some jewelry.
The empress dowager motioned for the palace maid to bring it to the emperor's side. "Your majesty, take a look. This is not a case of This Dowager wrongly accusing her. If a person doesn't do things on his own, he'll leave behind some grounds. What did Yun Zhiqiu write when he was colluding with the palace musician Lou Fengming?" He even gave the things that This Dowager had given her for the new year, these were all found in the place where Lou Fengming lived. "
I was a little surprised. I had only interacted with Lou Fengming for a few days and it was also for the fun of the palace in the days after that.
He pushed them aside. "Queen Mother, you should have seen quite a few of the palace's framing tricks."
"But look at this word, isn't it the same when you go back and write it to Yun Zhiqiu? The emperor protects her, so no matter what the emperor says, the emperor won't listen." The more she spoke, the angrier she became.
I sighed as I knelt on the ground. It was something that had to do with me, but something that felt very far away from me.
"Get someone to investigate, and don't get angry, Imperial Mother."
"This Dowager has already been apprehended by the people. Very soon, the witnesses and evidence have all been gathered."
He raised his eyebrows. "If mufei wants to investigate, do so. Yun Zhiqiu, go and reflect on yourself before you return to your palace. Men, send Wanyi back. Without my order, you are not to step foot in the Moon Viewing Hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty …" The empress dowager was somewhat unresigned.
He then said, "Imperial Mother, when the truth is revealed, I will not tolerate her."
"That's what you said." Her dark eyes looked at me.
When I returned to the palace, I was still a little depressed. It was such a huge crime to have an affair, but in the empress dowager's palace, she only spent that little time to prove to the emperor that I had an unclean relationship with Lou Fengming.
I couldn't help but laugh. In the darkness, I felt really tired. I really didn't care if I had already put down my thoughts and returned to this palace, but if you want to be quiet, that isn't something you can think of.
"Empress, do you want to drink some sweet soup?"
"No need."
"Empress, do you want to light a candle?"
I closed my eyes and said weakly, "Aunty, I really don't need anything. I want to be alone for a while. You can go and sleep first." Before I entered the palace, I even took care of my mother. After I entered the palace, I even learned to take care of myself. "
"This servant is very worried about master." she whispered.
I smiled. "Thank you. You can go now. I'm fine."
I just want to be alone and enjoy this loneliness.
The night wind blew in through the window, making my hair fly in disarray. Leaning on the railing, I looked at the gentle light of the lantern. I still don't know why there are so many lanterns in the palace, but they still make people feel cold and dark.
Sneaking was a huge crime. If the evidence was conclusive, then there was only one way left, death.
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm not willing to accept this kind of crime. Eldest Brother actually caught him! I really don't feel any pain now. Back when the emperor doted on me the most, the empress dowager didn't stop me. Now that Li Fei has stepped down, I've become a thorn in her side.
A faint aroma wafted into my nose, and I didn't look back as he entered.
Hugging me from behind, I whispered, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Your Majesty, here are the words I've written before. I'll light a candle and let you, right?" I broke away from him and twisted and blew on the table when I felt the fire on it, then pointed it at him and blew it out.
Hugging me from behind, he said, "Zhi Qiu, I don't suspect you."
"Your Majesty, it's best if you take a look." I said flatly, "I might really have lost it."
He ruthlessly bit my neck from behind. "I have never doubted you. Yun Zhiqiu, don't put away such long thorns. Do you want Lou Fengming to be in prison?"
I was stunned. I felt a hundred different emotions in my heart. He said, "I know you, but you won't. You know Qiu, don't think too much. No matter what slander you think, nothing is as important as me believing you."
As soon as he said it, my heart softened, and I turned to look at him in the dark. "I didn't."
"I know that if I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have had someone take you back to the palace. If you stayed any longer, you would have stayed in jail. Tell me, can I bear to do that?"
I heaved a long sigh. "Believe me, I'm actually very happy. Your Majesty, I don't know why Her Majesty made things difficult for me three times."
He actually chuckled and held me in his arms as he sat in the big chair behind the desk and said, "Why is that so? I'll tell you, because I value you so much, I love you a lot. A mother, too much love own child, one day the child's eyes are not her, you say what her heart feels like? "
I thought I understood, but I sighed softly and held him by the waist, listening to his heartbeat.
"Don't worry. Clear your mind. Words can be imitated, things can be stolen away, and there will always be people coming to take your pulse." "During this period of time, you should stay in the palace. Don't go anywhere else, I will send someone to investigate the matter. Although I trust you, there are many things that I have no choice but to do as I see fit."
"I know." Watching him in the dark, he smiled.
He rubbed my hair and said helplessly, "I have to learn how to treat you so that you won't have to worry about me anymore."
"You should just find an excuse. You should just find an excuse for your amorous behavior. I like to love being alone for the rest of my life."
He laughed, "Yun Zhiqiu, dream on. Men have three wives and six concubines. Wake up, don't be so naive. "
What naive fool? I really wanted to, but dreams and reality are vastly different.
"You haven't learned to love yet." I puffed.
He snorted coldly and snorted disdainfully, "I won't love you. Don't I have love?"
I don't think so, or the love of men is more extensive, the love of separation, never enough.
Perhaps I will never be able to experience this kind of love in my entire life, but I know that there will still be a couple for life in this world.
If this was a dream, he wouldn't be stupid or naive.
But his words amused me. Why did he ask me to love him with all my heart, when he told me that loving only one person was a dream?
