Inside the Hall

"Open..." Reporting to the emperor! Not good! Lifei … Imperial Concubine Li has strangled herself to death! " Eunuch Li, who had been waiting for Yun Jue's order, came running back with a pale face!

"Oh!" I know! "Let's go down!" Leng AoTian did not even raise his head. It was as if Liu Yujie's death was within his expectations. There was not a single ripple in his calm eyes!

"Return... Go back to the Emperor! "Your servant saw a letter on Lifei's desk. I don't know if Your Majesty …"

"Burn it!" Leng Ao Tian lightly said these two words, he was still reading the imperial reports. When Eunuch Li saw this, he did not say anything further and slowly retreated.

Eunuch Li held onto the few lines Feng Lifei had written with his blood and sighed in his heart. No matter if it was love or hate, Xu Bixuan still had a place in the heart of Icily Pride, and as for this Liu Yujie, even if she had to pay the price of her life to see those lines of words written by the emperor, she would still let her go!

Eunuch Li knew in his heart that the king had been visiting Yun Jue Residence every day for the last few days, but he didn't do anything. He just watched Liu Yujie forcibly kneel there without saying a word.

From afar, she turned her head and looked at the expressionless Leng Ao Tian in the imperial study, then looked at the blood letter in her hand. Lifei's greatest mistake was to provoke a woman that she shouldn't have offended!

"What are you doing?" The sudden sound shocked Eunuch Li. He held his chest tightly as the letter fell like a leaf onto the ground at Su Manhe's feet!

"Xin..." Your servant pays his respects to esteemed wangfei! " Eunuch Li looked at it and quickly bent down. As he kowtowed, he wanted to retrieve the blood letter!

"What is this?" Seeing through Eunuch Li's intentions, Su Manhe rushed to the front and picked up the blood book under her feet …

'Your Majesty, do you know how much I love you? But why did you do this to me? How much I yearned for you to come, but now, I'm even afraid that you'll appear in my dreams … '

"Who wrote this!?" Why is it red? " Su Man He narrowed her eyes instinctively. She didn't expect that someone from the imperial harem would dare to openly seduce the Emperor with a letter! Heh, she was playing this kind of trick. She wanted to hear who in the end didn't put her, Xin Fei, in their eyes! Could it be Xia Yan'er? Ever since Leng AoTian had pardoned her, he had thought that she would learn to be honest!

Eunuch Li knew in his heart that Su Manhe was a fierce character. If it weren't for the fact that this blood letter was written by the already dead Lifei, this harem would have been in trouble …

"To reply esteemed imperial concubine, this was left behind by esteemed imperial concubine Yun Jue before his death!" Eunuch Li replied truthfully.

"What?" Lifei is dead? That can't be right. The Emperor has been pampering her quite a bit these past few days. She … How did she die? " Su Manhe really didn't know about the death of Fei Li, but she did know how the Emperor tortured Liu Yujie these days. It seemed like she couldn't hold on any longer!

"In reply to the Empress …" Lifei, she is … "He strangled himself to death!" Eunuch Li carefully replied. It seemed like the emperor wasn't going to care about this matter, and he wouldn't decide for himself either. He could only see how this Xin Fei was going to arrange things!

"Hm!" After he had given the order, he would say that Consort Li had contracted an evil illness and died without being able to treat it. He would then conduct a legal matter for her to reflect on the emperor's kindness! "Go on!" Xin Fei was like the head of the Six Palaces. She tore the blood letter in her hand to shreds. She wouldn't be able to snatch it away alive, and would struggle even if she died. Hmph!

Eunuch Li was speechless. The women of the harem were even more terrifying than the jackals, tigers, and leopards! This was especially true for Xin Fei. Every time she looked at him, Elder Li felt depressed. The light in the depths of her eyes made people shudder. He really didn't know how the emperor could love her so much! Forget it, he just needed to do his job properly. He didn't want to hear too much about it in the palace!

After Su Man He gave her orders, she walked straight to the imperial study. As for the matter regarding the Hundred Day Sacrifice of the empress dowager, she still had to report!

It was as if he could see the sadness in Xu Bixuan's eyes when she was humiliated by Liu Yujie. These days, from time to time, Leng Ao Tian would think of the meetings he had with Xu Bi Xuan, including the full moon of the little princess. She dressed up brilliantly!

Leng Ao Tian didn't understand why he would think of this woman who had hated him for seven years. Perhaps there was already no reason for him to hate her now? I don't know! Leng Ao Tian shook his head with all his might. He was resisting this kind of longing without any reason. That's right, this was longing! He loved Su Manhe, he couldn't be wrong!

However, the truth was that although Leng AoTian could deceive anyone, even himself, he could not lie. Especially in these past few days, Xu Bixuan's image had frequently appeared in his mind, so many times that even he could not count it!

This kind of illusory feeling made Leng Ao Tian panic even more, but he was unable to stop it!

"Your Majesty …" Su Man He saw that behind the table, Leng Ao Tian was leaning on his head and knocking it hard against the table.

"Ugh …" "My beloved concubine, why have you come?" His thoughts came to a sudden stop. Leng Ao Tian let out a soft cough and sat firmly on the dragon throne. His eyes looked at the woman he had missed for many years.

"Chenqie is reporting to you about some matters concerning the Hundred Day Sacrifice of the empress dowager!" Su Man He's red lips parted slightly, thinking about something that required Leng Ao Tian to nod his head. However, when it came to her mouth, she was covered by Leng Ao Tian's thick palm.

"Shh …" Leng Ao Tian grabbed onto Su Man He's jade-like hand and sized her up. A hint of brilliance leaked out from his eyes and in the next second, he had already pulled Su Man He into his embrace.

Sensing the abnormality in Leng Ao Tian's mood, Su Man He's head was pressed tightly against Leng Ao Tian. Normally, she would not create such an effect, so how could she give up on this opportunity! His hand slowly crawled towards Leng Ao Tian's chest, lightly pinching the front of his shirt, his movements extremely gentle!

Perhaps he wanted to prove something, but Leng Ao Tian ignored the time and placed Su Man He on the table. His parched throat fiercely coughed out two mouthfuls, and then pounced towards Su Man He …

The wind unrestrainedly swept through the slave's room, blowing against the windows, causing them to emit sounds. Low muffled thunder rumbled along the roof, and the sky was as black as ink without any light.

In the dressing room, Xu Bixuan had already lit up all the lamps. Tomorrow was the deadline, and there were still fifty pieces left. If nothing went wrong, she believed that in the latter half of the night, all of her mourning ceremonies would be ready!

"Everyone, please bear with it. After tonight, we won't be in any danger!" Seeing the worry on everyone's face, Xu Bixuan lightly smiled and casually made a half of her filial dress. This filial dress was different from the rest, it was made solely for Leng AoTian, not just that, he would personally deliver it to the Imperial Hall!

Every needle that walked on the mourning dress seemed to pierce Xu Bixuan's heart. The pain was self-evident. The pain penetrated her heart!

This was the first snow since the start of winter, and he believed that many palace daughters would play in the snow. However, in the clothing room, no palace maid would pay attention to the snow that fell without restraint. In their eyes, the white cloth in their hands was much more important than the snow outside!

Once upon a time, in Xu Bixuan's heart, snow was incomparably noble. Because it had been pure and clean all its life, pure, sparkling, and proud, it seemed to have the temperament of a saint.

But now, what Xu Bixuan despised the most was these white snow. It was a clean and clean life, a life that was destined to last only a short time. It was pure, crystal clear, but it was only a fleeting moment! Life ended before it even began. This was a great tragedy! In the imperial harem, there were countless women like snow, but there had never been anyone who had a good ending!

"We're finally done!" A long gasp interrupted Xu Bixuan's thoughts. She inadvertently had her hand stabbed as a drop of blood silently dripped onto the inner layer of her mourning dress. No one noticed.

"Hm!" "I can finally get a good night's sleep!" Dong'er folded the last piece of filial attire in her hands and stretched with all her might. In Xu Bixuan's eyes, her request had always been so easily fulfilled!

"That's right!" As long as we send our mourning garments to every palace before nightfall tomorrow, we shall be done! However … It's best not to get into any trouble. I heard that the concubines in the harem are all very troublesome! " The older palace maids on the opposite side were not unreasonable. A single Concubine Xin had already made them so tired that they almost died from exhaustion. If anything went wrong tomorrow, they would have to move their brains just the same!

"I... We'll send you off! " When Dong'er was halfway done, she stopped moving. Her face was as white as the snow falling outside.

"Dong'er?" Are you okay? " Xu Bixuan could see that something was amiss, and lightly pushed the absent-minded Dong'er, her concerned tone overflowing from her lips.

"No …." "I'm fine!" Dong'er's hands trembled uncontrollably. Her pale face had a pair of misty eyes.

"Are you afraid of being assigned to the Mystical Jade Palace?" Don't worry, it's not that coincidental. Trust me, it's okay! No matter which palace they are allocated, as long as they put down the mourning garments and let the maids in the room collect them! " Xu Bixuan knew that Dong'er's fear was not for one or two days, and it was impossible for her to be at ease. Although she could not bear it, she could only watch as Dong'er grew restless for the entire night, helpless!

This snowy night had disturbed the dreams of so many people in the Great Shu Palace. The sudden chill caused the originally calm harem to be in an uproar!

"Your Majesty …" This old servant will add some fire carbon for you? " Eunuch Li, who was sleeping in the outer chamber, felt the lights in the inner chamber light up all of a sudden.

"Come in!" The faint voice did not sound tired at all. In fact, although Leng Ao Tian was lying on the bed, he had not closed his eyes and was thinking about the scene where he was in the Imperial study with Su Man He. At the critical moment, his mind was still thinking about Xu Bi Xuan! This caused him to panic. He didn't even know when she had let Xu Bixuan stay in her heart. Even if she used all her strength, she still couldn't catch her!

Eunuch Li carried a bowl of charcoal in. After putting it down, he respectfully left …

"Wait! I have something to ask! " Leng Ao Tian stopped Eunuch Li from retreating. Eunuch Li was a little stunned, thinking to himself that this must be a harem matter, otherwise it would be impossible for him to ask him about it!

"That... "Ugh …" Leng Ao Tian really wanted to know, Xu Bi Xuan was teaching him all about the slave quarters, but I just couldn't say it out loud. He also knew that saying those words from his own mouth was extremely uncomfortable!

"It's fine now! You can leave now! " In the end, he did not say anything. Leng Ao Tian scratched his head and fell onto the bed!

Eunuch Li, who was standing at the side, was completely confused. The one who could make Master so speechless was definitely not the imperial concubine of the harem. In the end, it could only be Xu Bixuan, who taught in the slave quarters! However, since Master didn't ask, he didn't dare to say too much and automatically retreated, closing the door tightly.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Leng Ao Tian slowly opened his eyes. He would actually lose sleep for a woman, and a woman that he once hated so much! Once? Why did he think of the past? Did he not hate it? Hate all those years and suddenly stop hating? In the end, he was still unable to sleep. Leng Ao Tian simply put on his clothes and walked out!

"Your Majesty! "What are you doing?" As soon as Eunuch Li climbed down, he heard the door creak. When he opened his eyes, Leng Ao Tian had already stepped out of the room!

"No need to follow me!" Rare Rachel, I want to take a walk by myself! " The clear and cold voice contained too many worries, coupled with the snow falling from the sky, it really made one frustrated to the extreme!
