Murong Yu's eyes were filled with memories of the past.

Dark eyes.

It was a look that was totally indescribable.

He suddenly turned his head and saw the pretty figure beside him. Then he remembered that Lin Xilan was a woman.

And she was a pregnant woman.

and so.

This female official Zhao would certainly not be able to listen to such dirty things. Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.

"At that time, I hated Xiao Wujiu so much that I tried every possible way to kill him. But that man was too powerful and I couldn't kill him at all!"

"So he became one of my few rivals. And I always lost to him, time and time again. I was willing to admit defeat to that man's ability."

"I never expected that I would find out at the end that she was actually a woman."

"A woman..."

Lin Xilan’s eyes flashed.

Ok……

Murong Yu's words made her thoughts go back to a long, long time ago.

many years ago.

Xiao Wuchen accused a woman of disguising herself as a man, which was a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Xiao Wujiu was lucky in that he did not take the normal imperial examination, but first joined Murong Chen, started his career as the third prince's adviser, and then took the imperial examination.

At that time, Murong Chen was already like a fish in water.

Who would dare to check on him, the most powerful official?

then.

She was able to cheat all the way and finally became the prince's master.

Ugh……

Forget the past.

Murong Chen actually died like this!!!

Lin Xilan pulled up the corners of her lips, as if she wanted to smile, but she couldn't smile at all, and her heart was cold.

There is nothing more infuriating than learning that her master's friend was murdered, and the culprit was right in front of her. She even wanted to kill Murong Yu at this moment.

It is normal to fight for power and profit, and it is also common to fight to the death.

Can--

In her opinion, using such despicable and shameful means on her former master and confidant was simply - unforgivable!

So, although she had a smile on her face, murderous intent was already rising in her heart.

The night-shining pearls shone on the tassels on her head, which flickered back and forth. Her face was like beautiful water in spring, or a magnolia under the sun, blooming quietly and fragrantly. It was a beauty that intertwined brightness and elegance.

Murong Yu didn't hear her question, but he felt a little dazed.

Like.

so similar.

——This was the only thought in his mind. He couldn’t understand why two completely different people could be so similar. It was as if the person in the coffin woke up and stood in front of him with another face.

What he didn't know was:

The body in the coffin couldn't come back to life, but the soul was standing here intact, smiling, but with murderous intent in its heart, thinking about killing him.

For some unknown reason, he actually walked towards Lin Xilan.

In the quiet air.

The footsteps were particularly obvious.

Murong Yu's footsteps echoed in the empty room, and every step seemed to step on Lin Xilan's tense nerves.

She stood there, motionless, only the smile in her eyes grew deeper.

Murong Yu was surprised:

"Madam Zhao, what you see in front of you is a faceless corpse, and you are not afraid at all! Also, what I just said to you. Aren't you shocked?"

"Could it be that he already knew the whole story from Murong Xuan, so he can be so calm?"

Lin Xilan, "..."

Lin Xilan thought, if she could have known this in advance, then the Southern Kingdom would not have ended like this.

What a pity: this was the first time she knew these things, otherwise she would definitely find a way to get rid of him.

It has been ten years since the incident. Even if she knew, everything can never go back to the way it was before. So why should she be surprised and shocked? Why not just be calm?

Lin Xilan's smile was as calm as water.

Her smile is neither ostentatious nor warm, but it has a kind of power that can make people feel at ease, just like a gentle breeze blowing across the lake on a hot summer day, making people feel a little cool and comfortable.

Murong Chen uncontrollably reached out to touch her chin.

But Lin Xilan dodged it.

"His Majesty."

She smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten? I am still pregnant..."

When she said this, Murong Yu suddenly woke up as if from a dream. The infatuated look in his eyes suddenly returned to normal, and his tone also became cold.

"Yeah, I had forgotten about this!"

He was so engrossed in what he was saying just now, and Lin Xilan's outfit today looked so much like an old friend, that he forgot all this for a moment, and even forgot that she was pregnant.

Murong Yu took a deep breath.

A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Pregnant?

Yeah, he almost forgot!

Before Lin Xilan could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the other party's voice: "But what if I insist on forcing it?"

What does it mean?

Her eyes narrowed.

Before she could react to the meaning of these words.

The next moment, she heard a laugh, "I thought before that Concubine Xiao was very similar, but now it seems that you are more similar."

"..."

What does Murong Yu mean by this?

Lin Xilan felt numb inside.

She looked up suddenly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"nothing."

He waved his hand and said calmly: "Bring the person up."

The next moment, she heard footsteps outside, and a man who looked like a guard came in with Concubine Xiao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Concubine Xiao was obviously in a panic, thinking that what she had done had been discovered.

When I saw Lin Xilan standing here.

His face darkened even more.

Until she glanced and saw her messy hair.

Concubine Xiao thought to herself, has her plan succeeded? She tried to suppress her inner excitement, but pretended to be surprised and aggrieved. Her voice was trembling, as if she would cry at any time.

There was joy in her eyes, but her face looked surprised and aggrieved:

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao, why are you two together? Is Your Majesty planning to take a concubine?"

Concubine Xiao spoke hesitantly, her eyes moving between the two people in front of her.

Carefully observing the expression on Murong Yu's face.

I hope the emperor will not let down everything I have carefully designed for her.

The air was so quiet, as if time had stood still.

However, Concubine Xiao was disappointed.

Murong Xuan did not get the surprise after that, but remained expressionless throughout the whole process. Concubine Xiao trembled all over.

The waves in my heart began to surge.

She could feel the emperor's heavy breathing beside her!

Concubine Xiao wanted to follow the trend and say something, but she found that the emperor today did not show her care and concern as he did in the past. Instead, he just stood aside and looked at her quietly.

Not to mention Lin Xilan, whose face was full of hatred.

There seemed to be murderous intent hidden deep in those eyes.

"His Majesty?"

Concubine Xiao called out tentatively, feeling mixed emotions.

Could it be that His Majesty already knew that all this was arranged by her? But what can be done about it?

She is doing this for the emperor's own good!
