Qin Se chorused in unison, apart from love, but also know the sound;

The road ahead was unpredictable, and from then on, his heart was never lonely.

In the past few days, when the Emperor was in the palace, she had accompanied him by his side. When he was not in the palace, she would make embroidery, or else she would read books, or she would accompany Xiaoqing to boil water and chat with her. Although the Emperor had not given her a title, everyone was a little courteous towards her, thinking that no matter how others guessed at her in their hearts, she would at least give some face. Recently, however, the Emperor seemed to be in an extremely bad mood. He often sighed, and Rong'er was extremely worried.

Later that night, the emperor sat at the table in the study of the Western Warm Pavilion. His eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the almost broken imperial report in his hands. The pressure in the Preservation Hall was very low today. Gai Rong'er brought over some tea. Not daring to disturb him, he gently placed it on the table and was about to move to the side when Xuan Ye suddenly said, "Rong'er, I am a useless emperor."

Rong'er was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Your majesty, what are you saying? The emperor is a young man, so how could he be useless?"

"Rarely a young person? Where can I find the right to do so in my youth? "Although this Great Qing is called my mountain, I can't do anything for him." Xuan Ye said angrily, "You actually disregarded my thoughts and ordered us to kill Su Na Hai, Zhu Chang Shang, and Wang Lian. Rong'er, those three are loyal officials. As the Son of Heaven, I am actually unable to save them." Xuan Ye slammed the table.

"Your Majesty, Rong'er read the Analects of Confucius when he was a child. "The Emperor is still a young Son of the Emperor after all. His wings have yet to grow, so why use an egg to strike at a stone? Right now, the Emperor isn't considering whether it's possible to save him, but whether it's appropriate to save him or not." Rong'er whispered at the side.

"In that case, Rong'er's meaning is that even if I can save him, I shouldn't." Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er with a thoughtful expression.

"Is Your Majesty aware of it?" "Why do you need Rong'er to say it out loud?" Gai Rong'er said with a smile.

"Rong'er, you really understand me … It is precisely because of this that I feel ashamed towards them. " Xuan Ye sighed.

"Your majesty, you have your own helplessness. Rong'er knows that these are, after all, three lives, so how can I not worry? But right now, the emperor can't move against you. Why not record down their achievements and reward their families in the future?" Rong'er consoled him.

"Yeah, Rong'er, I have no other choice. I really have no other choice. I'll make the decision for them after I kiss them next year." Xuan Ye lowered his head and sighed.

Rong'er was thinking about whether or not he should tell the emperor about Aunt Cheng. If he said that Xiaoqing had misheard, then it would be unfair to Aunt Cheng. But if there really was such a thing, then if he didn't say it, then the emperor's side wasn't very stable. In the end, he thought, since she was already the Emperor's woman, whether she was real or not, she should remind the Emperor of this. He made up his mind and clenched his teeth, but still said hesitantly, "Your Majesty …" There's something Rong'er doesn't know if he should say. "

"Xuan Ye, I've said it before. When it's only the two of us, call me by my name. I like hearing you call me by your name." There's something between the two of us that isn't right, but it's okay. " Xuan Ye said with a smile.

"Xuan Ye …" Rong'er's face reddened as he called out the emperor's name. He didn't know why, but even though he had served the emperor every day for the past half month, there were only two people left who seemed very close. "When it was close, Rong'er couldn't help but blush." "Mm, Rong'er had only heard of this before. Don't ask anyone about it, because Rong'er didn't have the chance to serve the emperor when he heard of it. There definitely isn't anyone with ulterior motives for allowing Rong'er to pick a fight in front of the emperor." The education she had received since he was young made her subconsciously address the Emperor, not by his name.

"Oh? Rong'er, what's the matter? It's so serious. " Xuan Ye knew that she couldn't change it, so he just smiled and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Cheng …" After you ascend the throne, you will be served, right? " Rong'er asked.

"That's right. After I ascended the throne, I stayed in this Preservation Hall. Aunt Cheng stayed in this palace and served the late emperor in the past. What happened?" Xuan Ye asked, puzzled.

"Rong'er heard …" Aunt Cheng often told the emperor everything. " Gai Rong'er said hesitantly.

"What?" Is there such a thing? " Xuan Ye suddenly stood up from the bed.

"Your majesty, Rong'er doesn't have any evidence. I just heard that Rong'er thinks Rong'er should do this when he speaks to your majesty. If it's a false rumor, then your majesty should be prepared for it."

"Mm, I remember now that you've said this. I seem to be well versed in my every move. I've thought it strange since long ago, so it's not really impossible." Xuan Ye said angrily.

"About this, Rong'er also doesn't have any evidence, so the emperor doesn't need to be angry." Gaylen immediately comforted her.

"Rong'er, this matter is serious, I must ask how you know." Xuan Ye stared intently at Gai Rong'er.

"This... "This …" Rong'er didn't know what the emperor thought of this matter. She was afraid that if she said what Xiaoqing said would be detrimental to Xiaoqing.

"Rong'er, don't you believe me? "Just say it, I won't casually punish people." Seeming to see through her thoughts, Xuan Ye slowly opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, Rong'er said …" "When Rong'er was in the boiling water room, the palace maid, Xiaoqing, told the servant that Aunt Cheng and Eunuch Chen from the Internal Affairs Bureau said she overheard every single move of the emperor." Rong'er honestly told him.

"Oh? As for the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau, I really have no idea how many spies were planted in this palace. " Xuan Ye laughed coldly as he asked, "Did she listen carefully?"

"Xiaoqing said she was pretty sure, that's why Rong'er wanted to tell the Emperor to pay attention." "Yes," Gallant replied.

"Hmph, if this is true, I won't forgive her." Xuan Ye said angrily.

"Good news?" There's a spy around me, or is it a good thing? " Xuan Ye didn't understand Rong'er's meaning.

"The emperor is really angry and has a brain." Rong'er said with a smile. The Emperor thought, if that is the case, then doesn't the Emperor want to let you see whatever you see? "If you're careful when you speak normally, and are careful when doing things, wouldn't that be fine?"

"That's right, I'm so angry that my head is spinning. Perhaps, it might not only be this miraculous effect." Xuan Ye pondered, then revealed a smile. He then turned to Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, not only do you know poetry, you're also very talented. Sometimes, I feel that in certain aspects, you're very much like an imperial grandmother."

"How could Rong'er dare to compare with the empress dowager? The emperor has praised Rong'er too much. Rong'er said as much. The emperor doesn't blame Rong'er for speaking too much." Rong'er smiled embarrassedly.

"How could that be? Rong'er, you're not only my woman, you're also my woman." Xuan Ye stared blankly at Rong'er and slowly said, "I am truly thankful to the gods for bringing you to my side."

"Rong'er is also very grateful for being able to serve the emperor."

"Right, your majesty, you haven't seen the empress in days, you should go see her." Rong'er suddenly said.

Xuan Ye sighed helplessly. "Rong'er, why do you keep mentioning this to me?"

"Because of the Queen's virtue and filial piety, the Emperor cannot let the Empress down. Rong'er is speaking the truth. " In the past few days, Rong'er had mentioned to the emperor several times that he wanted the emperor to watch over the empress. Rong'er was sincere, and when she thought of the empress's words to her, she still felt sad. Although the emperor treated her extremely well, as the empress had said, the empress wouldn't monopolize the empress, and she, Gai Rong'er, couldn't do it, especially for the empress.

"Alright, I understand. Can I go and take a look tomorrow? Rong'er, can we rest? " Xuan Ye said helplessly.

Crouched in the emperor's arms, there were two warm hearts in the cold winter night …
