C66

Thinking about it, I originally did not trust Yang Guang, and was thinking about how to send Yang Liang out of the capital and hide in the forest, but now that I think about it, if Yang Guang wants to kill someone, I am afraid even the ends of the world would not be able to hide, but fortunately, I have a trump card in my hands, and that would be my life.

I still bet on how much Yang Guang values the throne.

That night, Yang Guang ordered Yang Liang to be relegated to the status of a concubine. He was exiled for three thousand miles, and could never return to the capital. Being able to save the situation up to this point was already a sign of Heaven's pity. I stroked my neck that was wrapped in a light muslin and felt a faint pain assail me.

"Empress, it is all this humble subject's incompetence that has caused Empress such pain." He sneaked into Yongan Palace and looked at my neck with a face full of love. I knew that he had been keeping watch outside the dungeon until he saw me walk out safely.

"I should be thanking you for this matter. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to enter the prison, and I wouldn't have been able to save King Han either." I sighed in my heart, glad that Ah He was not able to follow me in, otherwise Yang Guang would have seen him and his life would have been in danger.

"This is what this humble subject should do." A He looked determined.

As they talked about Yang Liang, Ah He was also very surprised that Yang Kuang had let him go. After a brief explanation, Ah He's face slightly changed. After a moment of silence, he said,

"It is all thanks to the Empress that His Highness Duke of Han was able to preserve his life this time. This humble subject truly admires the Empress's wisdom and courage. Of course, it's even more so because of the Empress's and the emperor's deep affection for each other. " When he said this, his face showed a faint trace of depression, and his words were sour.

My heart is bitter, what is the deep love? It's just taking advantage of each other. This suffering could only be kept in the heart, so who could he tell?

After he left, I was just about to go to sleep when I heard footsteps and voices outside, so I told the dog to go out and take a look.

After a moment, Doggie came back and said:

"It is said that the one from the Eternal Fortune Palace has been born."

"Oh?" I calculated the time and it was indeed about to happen. I had been worrying about Yang Liang's mutiny and had forgotten about the harem for a long time.

Just as I was considering whether I should send a gift or not, Ying Xiu answered from the side.

"The Empress has been grounded by the emperor. The people of our Yongan Palace can't leave, so we naturally don't need to pay attention to the idle chatter of others."

When he woke up in the morning, the wound on his neck had already somewhat recovered. With the royal medicine ointment on his neck, he only felt extremely cool and comfortable.

When the moon was full, Yang Guangfang announced that he would remove my ban on foot and put down a banquet to celebrate.

During the meal, Chen held the baby, walked to me, smiled, and said:

"Chenqie hasn't seen the empress for a long time, but the empress has lost a lot of weight. Could it be that she's too bored at Yongan Palace?"

I knew that she was mocking me for being grounded by Yang Guang, so I didn't think much of it.

"How can I compare to my younger sister? A new princess has been born. His Majesty's favor is endless, so naturally, I'm not worried at all."

Chen Ling's face was full of color, but when he was about to open his mouth, he saw Xue Lai Yun come over and ask with a smile:

"Elder sister Chen Concubine, the little princess is so adorable, has His Majesty ever given her a name?"

Chen Zhong's expression slightly changed. Today's full moon wine was about to be scattered, yet Yang Guang had forgotten about bestowing the title upon him, which made him a little depressed. Yet, being mocked by Wu Yunyun in such a way, he felt a little awkward in his heart.

"Your Majesty is busy. What's more, in the end, the princess can't compare to the prince. What's the importance of her name?" If the beauties are willing to give love, give them a name for the princess. " When he finished speaking, he looked coldly at Lun Yun, silently complaining that he was meddling in other people's business.

"How can this be?" Esteemed Empress, why hasn't His Majesty given the little princess a name yet? This is the princess of His Majesty. " Laiyun said in surprise that he had not seen Chen's face.

I knew that this was Lun Yun deliberately mocking Chen Hung. One was helping me get out of this situation, and the other was suppressing Chen Hung's arrogance to vent my anger. He couldn't help but smile and say:

"Lun Yun is right. Regardless of whether it is a prince or a princess, they are all members of the royal family. You cannot break their names. Your Majesty, please bestow your names upon us."

Because it was a family banquet, it was relatively casual. Yang Guang had long since left his position and looked around. He saw him holding Su Ke Er's hand and chatting happily in a corner of the hall.

I glanced sideways at Chen, she also saw this scene, there was a trace of resentment on her face, but forcefully suppressed it.

Yang Guang laughed and talked for a while. When he looked up and saw that the few of us were looking at him fixedly, he felt a little awkward, so he walked towards us. Su Ke Er was extremely charming.

"Why are all of you looking at me like that?" Yang Guang had a smile on his face, his tone had a hint of drunkenness.

I looked at Chen, then at the disdainful Su Ke-er, and said:

"This wine is the full moon wine of the princess, but His Majesty has forgotten one thing. Our princess doesn't have a name yet."

Yang Guang looked at the child in Chen Zhen's arms. He looked displeased, waved his hand, and said in a drunken voice,

"No, she is not my princess."

Startled, everyone looked at each other before looking at Yang Guang and then back at Chen Xiaotian.

Everyone knows that Chen's child was born not to cry, and now that the full moon, but the eyes are still dull, there is not a trace of childish vivacity. At one point I suspected that Chen had taken saffron when he was pregnant.

But even if this child was different from ordinary people, Yang Guang shouldn't have said such words.

Chen Wu was so shocked that his complexion changed. With tears in his eyes, as if he hadn't heard clearly, he asked:

"What did Your Majesty just say?"

Only then did Yang Guang realize that what he just said was too surprising. He looked apologetically at Chen Fu, dropped Su Ke'er, took the child from Chen Wu's hands, and let out an almost inaudible sigh.

"I'll just bestow a single word upon Yun. "Yun'er, do you know, you still have a sister." Yang Guang gently played with the child's little face, with a hint of apology in his voice.

Everyone was even more surprised, looking at each other, not knowing what Yang Guang meant.

"His Majesty is really drunk. In this palace, aside from the crown prince, only Yun'er is a child. Where did your sister come from?" Su Ke Er laughed.

Yang Guang didn't say anything. He was lost in thought for a moment before he turned around and looked at me with a meaningful gaze. There wasn't any drunkenness in his eyes, it seemed that he wasn't speaking with wine.

After I thought about it for a moment, I understood and couldn't help but smile wryly. It seems that I promised Yang Liang that I would personally bring a woman into the palace as a concubine. Now, the one that I was going to accept should be mother and daughter.

The next day, Yang Guang sent a message for me to follow him out of the palace and pretend to be a commoner. Although I did not understand what he meant, but when I thought about Yang Liang's safety, I could only accept it. Even if it was humiliation, I could only endure it.

Inside the carriage, Yang Guang and I sat up straight, with only the sound of the horses' hooves in our ears.

"Why didn't the empress ask? Why did I ask you to personally bring a woman into the palace?" After an unknown amount of time, Yang Guang finally could not hold it in and was the first to speak.

"Chenqie doesn't dare to carelessly subdue the sacred will. I only know that since I've agreed to the conditions set by His Majesty, I'll absolutely not go back on my words." I replied coldly, neither humble nor haughty.

Yang Guang was silent for a moment, and then sighed. Regardless of whether I was willing to listen or not, he talked to himself:

"Speaking of which, it should have been easy for me to take in a concubine. However, she is not someone an ordinary woman can compare to. In her eyes, she is like dirt in glory, wealth, power, and position."

"In that case, why would she cling to His Majesty?" I said sarcastically.

He had thought that he would again anger Yang Guang, but he didn't expect that Yang Guang's face would be so calm. After thinking for a while, he said with an unsatisfied expression:

"I've always kept my identity hidden from her, as well as my family background. If she had known of my identity, she would have left me long ago. How could I bear to have such a close friend in the mortal world?"

"Your Majesty has a lot of close friends, but why don't you keep it a secret? If he were to bring her into the palace, wouldn't that mean he had leaked his secret? Is Your Majesty not afraid that she will abandon you? " I was bored and teased.

Yang Guang was shocked. He was a little scared, as if there was no more confidence in his heart, and could only mutter:

"This — no, no, she has given birth to a princess for me."

I thought that I no longer had any feelings for this couple, but after hearing the news from Yang Guang's own mouth, my heart was like a surging wave, and I couldn't help but feel a little sour from my words:

"Even so, why did His Majesty insist on calling me here?" And he's even acting like this? "

Yang Guang looked at me with a slightly apologetic gaze and said:

"I have already told her that she has a wife, and she has accepted it. However, she has to personally welcome Fang Ken as her concubine, or else she would never agree."

What a stubborn girl. It was a pity that she was once again a pitiful person who had wrongly paid her love debt. I felt a little pity and didn't say anything more. Seeing this, Yang Guang thought that I was going to go back on my words.

"Does the empress want to go back on her words?"

I smirked. "Will His Majesty allow me to go back on my word?"

Yang Guangcun looked straight at me, and after a long while, he said, "It's good that you understand."

The horse carriage took us through the streets and alleys, past Cheng'en Street, where we had not walked for more than a year, and inside the carriage they were relatively silent and overbearing, so I parted the curtains and looked outside, still looking like a peaceful city, lined with streets and crowded with people.

It was indeed the village of Jinxia, so I leaned out a little to look at the village, but when I saw that there were many people at the entrance, although the gate of the village was wide open, the interior was deathly still, and there was a difference of heaven and earth from a year ago. I couldn't help but wonder, how could Jinxia manage the village for such a long period of time without seeing her for a year?

Could it be that after marrying someone, he no longer had the heart to do business, and this manor had already been taken over? No, she promised me that if she were to marry someone, she would definitely inform me. Could it be that after she found out that I had entered the palace, she was unwilling to contact me again?

For a moment, my heart was a bit sad. In such a big place like Sui, I actually didn't have a person who could speak anymore. So he put down the curtain and sat down without saying anything.

After the carriage stopped, I discovered that Yang Guang was actually a little nervous. I was curious in my heart, just what kind of woman could make brother Shi, who killed his father, care so much about her.

"Queen, wait here for a while … Forget it, let's go in together. Just remember to not reveal your identity until she agrees." Yang Guang hesitated and asked with concern.

I indifferently agreed before heading to the courtyard in front of me.

The courtyard wasn't big, but it was very unique. It was a fake mountain with green trees, a pavilion, and a serene and elegant atmosphere. This woman's taste was quite good.

Seeing that someone had come, the servant at the door hurriedly bowed and said:

"Young Master, you're here. Madam is playing the zither in the Perched Heart Pavilion." After saying that, she looked at me in surprise but didn't say anything.

Yang Guang made a sound of 'oh' and retreated. Then, he walked along a small path paved with pebbles. I followed him without a word and only raised my eyes to slowly survey my surroundings.

The bright-red durian flowers were embedded in the green leaves. On the ground, there were clumps of unopened violet flowers. Further up, there was an emerald green bamboo that rustled gently in the breeze. Occasionally, the chirping of birds could be heard from the trees, adding a touch of elegance.

It's just that the two of us have our own thoughts and no longer have the heart to linger on the beautiful scenery.

Even before I got close, I could hear the melodious melody of a zither drifting slowly through the dense green trees. Although I had come with a grudge, I still felt a sense of bewilderment when I heard the zither.

The zither music was filled with lovesickness and flowed into my heart. I saw that Yang Guang was slightly startled, but very quickly, a trace of a silent smile appeared on his face. He listened attentively like a sweet spring, and his steps became lighter and slower.

In my heart, a feeling of doubt arose as I felt a sense of familiarity with the sound of the zither.

He walked around the carefully carved fake mountain and turned into a long corridor. Looking up, he saw a small, exquisite pavilion in the distance. There was a incense table in the pavilion and a baby's cradle hung in the middle of the pavilion.

Within the curling green smoke, a blue-clothed girl was lightly stroking the zither stand. Her ten fingers were like a dragonfly touching the water as she lightly strummed each zither string.

I didn't move forward. I just stood there in a daze, quietly listening to the music that was getting more and more mournful. My heart felt like it was being dilly-dally, and a deep pain spread through my entire body.

She was actually that woman that was like the orchid in a dark valley — — Jinxia.
