After being reborn, being alone as a queen

Until the sun goes down and the cold moon hangs high

Mu Xiu woke up slowly, and there was no one around him, and he was even tucked in very well.

Zhao Chengde was lighting the candles in the hall, and as the candles were lit one by one, the entire sleeping hall was illuminated brightly.

Mu Xiu sat up, probed the temperature on the mattress with his fingers, and said lightly, "What about him?"

Zhao Chengde said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to ask the young master? Just after leaving, the old slave asked him to rest here, but the young master refused."

Mu Xiu's brows turned cold, and he said with a sneer, "Oh, I've wronged him by sleeping in my Chaoyang Palace."

Zhao Chengde suppressed a smile: "How can it be, the young master said that he didn't sleep well, and he was afraid that it would disturb His Majesty's rest."

"What time is it now?"

"Returning to His Majesty, it's time, and..." Zhao Chengde hesitated to speak.

Looking down at the bright yellow brocade quilt embroidered with dragons, Mu Xiu frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Chengde considered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, I looked at the sky before, and the moon is frightening. I'm afraid the sky will change tonight."

"Oh? What does changing the sky have to do with me?" Mu Xiu was puzzled, "Could it be that you are worried that Xie Jin will get caught in the rain when he returns to the side hall?"

Zhao Chengde said: "There is no need to worry about this. When the young master left, the old slave brought him an umbrella, but Concubine Lan is still kneeling at the gate of Chaoyang Palace. If she kneels down like this again, her legs may be damaged. Obsolete."

Mu Xiu's brows furrowed deeper, and he said, "Still kneeling?"

"Returning to His Majesty, it is true."

Mu Xiu didn't speak anymore

When Xie Jin took the umbrella and walked down the long Chaoshou verandah, he stood in front of the hanging flower gate, and the sky really rained the size of a bean.

The little eunuch who temporarily replaced Zhao Xiaogui and was arranged to serve him took the umbrella in his hand, carefully opened it for him, and said: "Young Master, walk slowly, be careful of slippery feet in this rainy day."

Xie Jin laughed when he heard the words, and said in a very nonchalant way, "Little eunuch, don't be so nervous, I am not a fox, and my feet are not slippery."

The little eunuch was successfully amused by him.

Passing by the gate of the palace, Xie Jin's footsteps paused slightly, a thin figure kneeling in the rain with a drenched bun caught his attention.

Although palace lanterns were hung in the corridors all around, the dark clouds in the sky completely covered the clouds and mists, and not a single star was seen.

In such an environment, the light is still too dim.

Xie Jin stopped and said, "Who is that?"

The little eunuch stretched his neck and glanced at it, and said: "Reporting to the young master, that is Concubine Lan. It is said that she wanted to see the emperor but she didn't see her. She knelt here a few hours ago. This day is not beautiful. It's really miserable. "

"Concubine Gong?" Xie Jin turned to look at the indignant little eunuch in surprise.

"Exactly."

Xie Jin touched his chin and said: "I have to go and see, it's been a long time since I saw a concubine in such a miserable state."

A son of the Hou's mansion, who likes to join in the fun so much, the little eunuch expressed his shock.

He tried to persuade him: "Young Master, why don't we go back to the palace and put on some clothes? This is more serious. If you catch a cold, I can't explain it."

Xie Jin waved his hand: "I am not cold, a handsome man is strong and strong, how can he be as delicate as a woman."

Wearing a thin eunuch uniform, the little eunuch shivered in the storm, and said pitifully, "But... the slave is cold."

Xie Jin looked at him in shock, only to see that most of the little eunuch's umbrella was tilted towards his head, half of his body was in the wind and rain, and his clothes were almost soaked.

"Okay, you put on this and wait for me here, I'll finish the battle quickly."

Xie Jin threw down these words, grabbed the umbrella in his hand, and strode towards the palace gate.

The little eunuch stood in a daze holding the robe he had just taken off, which was still warm, and stood under the hanging flower door, watching his footsteps, and there was the sound of mud and water splashing in the rain puddles on the ground.

Concubine Lan was already in a trance, her whole body was drenched, her hair bun was pressed heavily on her head, and the cold air kept creeping into her body.

Her knees were already numb, and the burning pain came from the kneecap, causing her to flick her eyebrows frequently.

It's a pity that she looked at the resplendent Chaoyang Palace in the rain, and her heart was full of anxiety.

Every moment was an unbearable torment for her. The moment she lowered her head, tears flowed down her face together with the rain, making it hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.

Suddenly, there was a sound of shallow footsteps, and a slender silhouette was projected on the upper right of her shadow.

Has the rain stopped?

Concubine Lan slowly raised her head, and what caught her eyes was an extremely handsome, only a little immature face, with a haggard look on her face, but her eyes seemed to be full of stars and fireworks in the prosperous age. She held up the paper umbrella above her head.

This is also Xie Jin's first time seeing the concubines in Mu Xiu's harem up close.

The first feeling is that His Highness is really blessed.

The woman in front of her was dressed in light green clothes. Even though her hair was in a mess and her clothes were drenched and stuck to her body, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't hide her beautiful face, without any smell of makeup.

Taking a closer look, Xie Jin remembered that he remembered her and had seen her at the gate of the palace a few days ago.

He bent his lips: "It's getting late, Your Majesty has already rested, why don't Empress Lan go back to the palace to rest and try again tomorrow?"

When you were in the most embarrassing situation, you met a handsome man who appeared like a god to rescue you. Which normal woman would not be tempted? !

The little eunuch standing in the distance is dumbfounded

Merry or you thank the second master Merry, seductive in the invisible ah!

A master, even the emperor's woman dared to approach casually, because he thought his head was too stable on his neck.

Concubine Lan was taken aback when she heard the words, then smiled wryly, and shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, young master, but I...have something urgent."

Xie Jin seemed not surprised at all, the corners of his lips remained the same, and said: "Don't rush for quick success in everything, your body is the capital of everything. If Empress Lan concubine kneels here today and hurts her body, in the future... who will save you?" Who do you want to save?"

Concubine Lan was shocked, her face was full of astonishment

Without waiting for her to digest what she heard, Xie Jin took her hand and stuffed the umbrella into her hand.

The little eunuch was so anxious that he almost jumped up, and murmured: "Young Master, is he looking for death? If someone with a heart sees it and uses it to make a fuss, he will die!"

It turns out that his mouth may have been opened.

"Koizumi? What are you doing here?"

When Zhao Chengde's voice sounded behind him, Koizumi was almost scared out of his wits, and jumped up clutching his butt: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"What is it called! You have disturbed His Majesty, you have lost hundreds of heads? Our family is asking you something!"

Zhao Chengde whipped him without saying a word

Only then did Koizumi cover his mouth tightly, and when he turned around, the moment he met Mu Xiu's gaze, he felt his heartbeat stop in a trance

"Emperor... Your Majesty! The servant sees the Emperor!"

Mu Xiu only glanced at him lightly... One look at the robe in his hand, and Koizumi rolled to the side consciously.

Zhao Chengde held an umbrella for Mu Xiu, and the two walked towards the palace gate. Koizumi silently lit a candle for Lord Xie Xiaohou.

May you be blessed, my little lord.

But his blessing did not reach the ears of the gods.

As soon as Concubine Lan stood up slowly with Xie Jin's support, she saw Mu Xiu, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe a few steps away, his legs softened and he knelt down again.

"The concubine has seen His Majesty!"

Xie Jin felt pain when he heard the muffled sound of his kneecap hitting the floor tiles.

He turned his head and saw Mu Xiu with a particularly ugly expression.

Xie Jin's hand subconsciously caught the umbrella at the moment when Concubine Lan knelt down again, and supported Concubine Lan on the ground, while her whole body was exposed to the rain, and her crimson silk brocade robe was quickly drenched into tears. Dark purple.

Seeing Mu Xiu's expression, he lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee: "Cao Min sees Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, he raised his eyes to look, secretly wondering

I thought that Mu Xiu's face was ugly because he didn't salute the emperor immediately when he saw the emperor, but he didn't expect that after he tried to salute, His Majesty's face seemed to be even more ugly.

Mo Xiu's voice is colder than ever

"Didn't Zhao Chengde tell you not to touch the wound with water, otherwise it might cause inflammation?"

Concubine Lan raised her head suspiciously, only to realize that Mu Xiu's gaze had been on the young man next to him from the beginning to the end.

Xie Jin opened the sleeves and looked, the gauze was wet from the rain, wrapped thickly and dullly around the arms, with blood oozing faintly inside.

Mu Xiu also shrank his pupils, frowning and beckoning

Zhao Chengde handed the umbrella in his hand to Mu Xiu, then held up another umbrella, and walked towards Xie Jin, with the cloak that he had prepared a long time ago on his arm.

"Young Master, please put it on quickly, and throw the servants far away, what does it look like when you come to get caught in the rain by yourself? If you want to send an umbrella, you can send a servant to deliver it."

Anyway, Mu Xiu had good intentions, and Xie Jin obediently put it on.

It's just that although it's not so cold anymore, it's really not comfortable to wrap a dry outer robe with a wet inner garment.

Zhao Chengde could tell it at a glance, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, young master should rest in the Chaoyang Palace."

Concubine Lan's eyes faintly flashed shock, no one in this palace was lucky enough to stay in the Chaoyang Palace no matter whether it was the former dynasty or the harem.

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, but glanced at Mu Xiu's increasingly glamorous face from the corner of his eye, and had a premonition that if His Highness's face was refuted again and again, especially in front of the concubines in the harem, something bad might happen. thing.

"As long as His Majesty doesn't feel disturbed..."

"I find it very disturbing."

Xie Jin was embarrassed: "The grassroots are still..."

"Shut up." Mu Xiu interrupted coldly

Xie Jin closed his mouth in a good manner

The smile on Zhao Chengde's old face grew stronger

Only then did Mu Xiu's gaze fall on Concubine Lan, and he gradually frowned, and said, "Concubine Lan, do you really want to see me in this way?"

Concubine Lan's voice was choked with sobs, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Your Majesty, this concubine is... desperate."

Mu Xiu's face was cold: "Tell me about how you are desperate and why you came here."

Concubine Lan bit her lips: "The concubine came here for Sister Hui."

Mu Xiu's expression darkened instantly, and he said, "If you want to intercede for Concubine Hui, then you don't need to say anything."

After finishing speaking, she turned to leave. Concubine Lan was startled, and she grabbed the hem of his clothes with her fingers: "Your Majesty! This concubine is willing to replace Concubine Hui! As long as the emperor allows, this concubine is willing to do anything! May Your Majesty bypass my sister this time?"

Mu Xiu paused: "You sisters are very affectionate, so I will show you a clear way. If she tells the truth of the matter, I don't have to kill her, but the death penalty is inevitable."

After speaking, he didn't stop there.

Concubine Lan's fingers fell to the ground, her face was slumped, and she said: "I...understood, thank you Your Majesty."

Xie Jin's complexion was dark and unclear, making it impossible to see what was in his heart.

Until Mu Xiu walked a few steps and stopped again, without turning back, he said, "Aren't you following?"

Xie Jincai woke up like a dream and asked, "Is Your Majesty calling me?"

"nature."

Zhao Chengde was standing beside him, looking at him with a smile, just like looking at a little sheep about to fall into the wolf's pen.

Xie Jin's scalp was numb from his laughter, and he hurriedly followed him.

Concubine Lan knelt on the spot, looking at Mu Xiu and the purple-clothed boy who were walking away side by side, but her eyes were full of clarity, and there was no unparalleled road.
