After I came back from the Crown Prince's Palace, I didn't say anything. It's good enough that I can talk to you. I thank you for seeing her for the last time. " When Shangguan Han's words fell, he bowed deeply.

"You, don't. Actually, I was also wrong. If I had caught up to her and not let her run away, perhaps everything would have been different. " Water felt guilty.

"There's no difference. I understand her character. She must have known something and decided to do that." As Shangguan Bing said that, he looked at Shui Long and said: "The reason I came to the palace today was not to question you, but to ask you for a favor."

"Help? "What?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.

"Help me keep an eye on the Empress Dowager, and the woman who has just been conferred the title of Queen."

"You can't be doubting."

"Shh, don't say it. You just need to know for yourself. " Shangguan Xuan stopped his words, his eyes were deep, "Like I said, I know very well what kind of person my sister is. Therefore, my sister shouldn't have died without leaving me anything. Something must have happened. Fortunately, the last person she saw was you. If it was anyone else, I would definitely misunderstand. "

There was a hidden meaning within Shangguan Qing's words, but Shui Long remained silent after hearing it.

So, Shangguan Bing suspected that the empress dowager colluded with the woman who just became the empress, and caused Shangguan Yun's death?

Thinking about it, it was possible. The empress dowager had never liked Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yun's death would benefit the empress dowager the most.

"I know, I'll keep an eye out for you." Shui Long nodded.

Seeing Shui Long agree, Shangguan Bing smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you."

"No need. If it wasn't for me, your sister wouldn't have ended up like this. Just treat it as paying her debts." Shui Long gave a wry smile.

"If elder sister had thought things through from the start, you would definitely have been a good friend." Shangguan Xuan said helplessly.

"There are no ifs in this world. There are only the last words of those who were left behind. " Shui Long also laughed bitterly. She really liked Shangguan Yun's personality, but that was the end result. These were not accidents, but fates. And it wasn't anything that could be answered.

"Then, I'll leave this matter to you. This is the imperial harem, so it's not convenient for me to stay here any longer. Shangguan Xuan waved his hand as he spoke. Then she walked out of her palace with ease.

Shui Long stood dazedly in the yard, looking at the splendor of the garden and the maid in the corner who was sneakily gazing at him with a glimmer in her eyes. His expression darkened. Yes, this was the Imperial Palace, and she was no longer free. She was Consort De.

She was the concubine that the Emperor had just bestowed upon her. In the future, there would be many dangers waiting for her.

However, she wasn't afraid. She wouldn't take the initiative to kill anyone, but that didn't mean she would remain passive and receive beatings.

To her, killing was a sin. Once she made a move, she would remember the most unbearable things, so subconsciously, she chose to escape, even disregarding her own dignity, to use others, to rely on others.

But now, every one of them was someone important to her. Now that there were important people, he had to protect them well, even if it meant returning to the path of the Shura.

If anyone harmed someone important to her, she would make them pay a hundred times over.

As he thought about it, his gaze became firm. This had never happened before. If Night Emperor Shang was here at this moment, he would definitely be very excited, because this was the scene he wanted to see the most.

It was just like when they met for the first time, the killing intent and terrifying aura that burst out from her eyes.

Shui Ruo only knew that Emperor Shang had schemed against her, but he didn't know that on that day, Emperor Shang had also been afraid of Shui Ruo, afraid of this seemingly harmless but actually powerful woman. Of course, this was something that Shui Wuyin would never know.

The palace banquet was set for the evening, but for the women of the palace it had been busy since the afternoon.

Not long after Shui Ruo returned, she was grabbed by a few maids in the courtyard and brought to the dressing table to comb through her makeup.

"Imperial Concubine, Big Sister Li said we can't lose face at the banquet, especially not if we lose to the empress." So, you just have to endure for a while. " Bing-Er said worriedly as she looked at her mistress' ugly face.

Shui Long heard this and still frowned. God knows she didn't want the empress to notice, so she didn't want to put on her makeup.

No matter what her intentions were, the Queen and her were destined to be irreconcilable, and she still wanted to provoke him? The empress dowager was on the side of the empress.

When he thought of the Empress Dowager, Shui Ruo felt all the more powerless. That woman is already intelligent. How many people could defeat her?

If her martial prowess allowed her to rotate the empress dowager three times, then her intelligence would be completely opposite.

However, no matter what Shui Long thought, she still allowed these palace maids to dress her up. For one thing, she could not expose her thoughts to these women, lest among them the Empress Dowager send them.

Secondly, the best way to keep their lives was to portray themselves as a vain and conceited woman. Only then would the empress dowager and empress be at ease.

Thinking of this, Shui Ruo began to cooperate.

A woman dressing up was definitely the worst thing in the world. The water had been sitting here from noon until the end of the evening.

Looking at the already dark sky, then looking back at the bronze mirror and seeing that they painted a face that didn't even look like her own, Shui Yuehan blinked his eyes.

In the bronze mirror, the woman's face was fair and elegant, her red lips slightly raised, and her smile was somewhat beautiful. Her lively eyes were clear and bright, and her brows revealed a harmless look.

However, not only was love more beautiful, but it also added a bit of immaturity and naivety to it.

Not to mention lying, even she herself was about to be tricked by this appearance. If she didn't say it, who would have thought that she was once a demon that killed people without blinking an eye? Who would know that in her eyes, the person beside her was above all else?

Who would have known that she would ruin someone else's home because of her selfishness? She wandered about in the sword for a single person?

Thus, appearances were the best weapon to deceive others. As long as his face was like that, no one would dare call him cute. Shui Ruo couldn't help but taunt him.

"Imperial Concubine is really beautiful." Out of the four women who helped her with her makeup, a slightly younger one couldn't help but praise her.

"Of course. If the Concubine De isn't beautiful, how could our emperor like her?" "The empress and the empress are on the same day."

Another woman said.

"Shh, don't spout nonsense. If these words are spread out, it will create trouble for the Consort De. " The one who said this was the oldest of the maids. After she finished speaking, she leisurely took off the phoenix hairpin on her head and replaced it with a white jade butterfly hairpin.

Shui Long nodded in satisfaction at the woman's words. Although he didn't know what this woman's intentions were, he had to admit that she was right.

If he wore a phoenix hairpin, the empress would definitely take care of it. It was better not to.

"What's your name?" The water flowed leisurely along the mirror, looking at the woman who had put on the hairpin for her. The woman had lowered her head, her eyes were pleasing to the eye, and her facial features were ordinary. However, her eyes shone brightly.

When she heard Shui Jiu ask, she hurriedly said respectfully, "Reporting to the Empress, this servant is Evening Autumn."

"Late autumn? In the future, you will be in charge of this courtyard. " Shui spoke in a low voice and then stood up.

"Late autumn feels incompetent." In the autumn, she knelt on the ground and gazed at the water, feeling a great deal of pressure.

"I think you're a smart person. You can definitely do it. Listen to me, too. From today onwards, Evening Autumn is the manager and aunt of the entire Dark Fragrance Palace. If I find out who disobeys her orders, I will kill who. "

"Yes." Everyone kneeled. Bing-Er's face turned dark. Why didn't Miss choose me? Bing-Er was confused. However, he had agreed not to speak much in front of her, so he could only bear with it.

"The emperor has arrived!" Just as everyone was engrossed in their own thoughts, they heard a sharp voice reporting from outside.

This voice frightened everyone in the room.

"Your majesty?"

Everyone looked at each other, clearly not expecting to see the Emperor.

The person who had been given the title of 'Aunt' was in a solemn mood. "It's an incredible honor for the emperor to come visit the empress. Please follow me to pay respects to the empress." "Imperial Concubine, please stay in the inner hall." After saying that, he left in the evening.

Everyone looked at the water and waited for it to say something. However, he heard Shui Ruo say, "Do as she says." With that, everyone left.

Shui Ruo was also suspicious. This woman, not only was she quick-witted, she seemed to also know a lot about the Emperor? Where did she come from? The Empress Dowager? It shouldn't be, right? Would the empress dowager send such a good person?

Shui Yuehan was full of suspicion, but he still decided to keep watching.

It had been a long time since he last saw Ye Huangyan, but this time, the moment he saw him, he was startled.

His bright yellow clothes gave him a heroic look, and made him seem slightly more enchanting. He looked straight into her eyes.

Then, there was a burning determination in her eyes that she had never seen before. In the past, when he had met Ye Huangyan, although he had said that he liked her, he had never used this kind of gaze. The look in his eyes, which seemed to be determined to win, made him feel uncomfortable.

"Greetings to the Emperor." Shui Ruo bowed in front of the crowd. Upon hearing this, Night Emperor Yan frowned and waved his hand. "All of you, leave."

With that, the court ladies who followed him, as well as those in the Freezing Moon Hall, all left.

After everyone had left, Night Emperor looked at Shui Long with a bitter expression. "Even after everyone has left, are you still not willing to withdraw your etiquette?"

"Because their identities are different now." Shui Yuehan was calm.

"Are you angry with me?"

Night Emperor Yan asked even though he already knew the answer.

Shui Ruo only sneered when he heard this.

"Sorry, I know it's not good for me to do this, but rather than losing you, I'd rather let you hate me." As Nightmare looked at Shui Long, he felt somewhat guilty.

But there was no apology.

Shui Long heard her words and did not say much. He only said, "You are the emperor. You have the final say."

Shui Yuehan's leisurely attitude was not within the imagination of Night Emperor Yan. He thought that Shui Yuehan would be very angry after seeing him making such a ruckus. However, it was not as noisy as he had imagined. There was only indifference. He was not afraid of the noise, but he was extremely afraid of this sort of indifference. Nevertheless, he had her. With this thought in mind, the Night Emperor was filled with confidence. He looked at Shui Ruo and said, "Since I have the final say in everything, don't bow in front of me from now on. I don't like it. "

"Yes." The water was low.

"How is it? Are you used to life in the palace? " Nightmare asked softly as he gazed at the water.

"There's nothing to get used to. It's the same everywhere." Shui Ruo calmly replied, then sat down without saying anything.

Seeing that Shui Ruo did not hesitate to argue with him, Night Emperor Yan was helpless. He walked to her side, and continued to ask: "That's good, if there's anything that feels uncomfortable, tell me. Tell me who bullies you. I can agree to anything but leave the palace. "

"Where's the Night Emperor for me to see him?" The water asked.

"…"

"Ha!" Why didn't you say anything? " Shui Ruo sneered.

"Alright. If you want to. " Night Emperor Yan responded quickly. This was out of Shui You's expectations.

"Forget it, I'm still gone." Shui Ruo said as he suppressed his desire to see the Night Emperor.
