III Jiangshan

At the same time, in the palace.

Yuan Youqi stepped out of Qixiang Palace, instead of riding a chariot as usual, he strolled towards the southeast.

Tang Xi followed closely behind, seeing the emperor walking further and further away.He turned his head to look at the guard of honor adorned five or six feet away, and then peeked at the emperor's obviously displeased expression. He swallowed the phrase "Your Majesty, this is not the way to Qinzheng Palace" .

Longyan is not happy, so proceed with caution.

Yuan Youqi walked for a while, looked up, and vaguely saw the bronze beast on the ridge of Jingning Palace in the distance.She stopped there.

Tang Xi also hurriedly waved to the guard of honor behind him, signaling them to stop as well.

He himself still stood respectfully behind the emperor as usual.

Yuan Youqi stared blankly at the fierce-looking palace ridge beast for a while, then suddenly asked Tang Xi, "What do you think of Zhou Meiren?"

Tang Xi was taken aback, not understanding what the emperor was referring to, and replied with an apologetic smile: "Ms. Zhou has a gentle temperament and treats her servants very well."

"Are you gentle?" Yuan Youqi shook his head noncommittally.

Tang Xi didn't make a sound.

The emperor is the lord, and if he asks himself how the concubines in the harem are, of course he can't really evaluate them, as long as he gives a fair and unbiased evaluation that doesn't cause people to think too much.

I only heard Yuan Youqi muttering to himself: "It's good to be nice to my servants. As for this temper, heh! Let's just watch!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly let out a "huh", looked at Tang Xi with a smile, and said, "The former Tan family said you and that Hui Rong...haha, I see you are quite right!"

Tang Xi suddenly had a bitter face, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of your slaves..."

The fact that the emperor was able to joke about himself meant that he was in a better mood.Tang Xi slightly let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Youqi tilted his head to look at him, and smiled again: "I see that girl has a good temper, if you really like it, remember to tell me."

Tang Xi's handsome face became even more distorted, and he really didn't know how to answer this question.

Yuan Youqi had already walked forward quickly with a smile on his face.

Tang Xi quickly followed.

Seeing Jingning Palace getting closer and closer, the tall palace gate was already faintly visible.

Yuan Youqi suddenly stopped again, and told Tang Xi, "Go find Liang Shao'an immediately, pass on my oral order, and tell him to do what I ordered before."

After a pause, she continued: "Without my order, in Jingning Palace, no irrelevant people are allowed in."

The emperor suddenly became serious, as if he was going to do something important.

If the Jingning Palace was involved, it must have something to do with Concubine Feng... Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat.

But the emperor's meaning was very clear: Liang Shaoan knew how to do this, and it had nothing to do with Tang Xi.

In this way, the most sensible approach is to honestly guard the emperor outside the Jingning Palace, and not allow other people to come in.Of course, Tang Xi knew that the emperor kept face for himself and didn't say it clearly——

Why isn't he the one, idlers and others?

Tang Xi thought about it, and was immediately ordered to pass an oral order to Liang Shao'an.

Yuan Youqi looked at the gate of Jingning Palace and sighed inwardly.

Because of the emperor's order, although Feng Rou was restrained, her food and clothing were the same as in the past.

In the harem, the emperor dominates, even if Tan Shaoer, Wu Linlang and others existed back then, their hands could not reach Jingning Palace.With the emperor's special care and no strife in the harem, the Department of Internal Affairs really didn't dare to bully the Jingning Palace.

Therefore, Feng Rou's life during this period of being grounded was not considered bitter - if not counting the emptiness and solitude of the huge Jingning Palace day and night.

Fengrou has suffered a lot since she was a child. To her, there is not much difference between poor clothes and rough food and luxurious clothes and delicacies.She is not afraid of suffering physically, but what she cares most about is her heart.

For her, the biggest torment was Yuan Youqi's long-term indifference.The most terrible thing is the alienation and coldness of the heart.

Fengrou has no way of knowing what's going on outside, what happened, and what the emperor did.

It was as if her heart had been suddenly thrown into icy water. The more it soaked, the colder it became. It was cold to the heart, cold to the bone marrow, and cold to the soul.

The deeper the resentment in Fengrou's heart, the deeper the unspeakable shame.

Yuan Youqi finally came, after Feng Rou was disheartened.

As expected, all the maids who served her were sent away; unexpectedly, Yuan Youqi met her in the side hall.

Next, no matter what happens, Fengrou is prepared.But Piandian... Her mind tensed because of it.

She regretted that she didn't remove some things that didn't dare to exist in time, or even... destroy them.

But where to go?

The entire Forbidden Palace, which is too big to see, belongs to Yuan Youqi, as long as she wants to find it, there is nothing she can't find.

So, what about destruction?Can you be willing?

Fengrou is reluctant.In this empty and unpopular Jingning Palace, there are only a few things that make her still have some thoughts about this world.

If, even this bit of thinking is gone, what's the fun of her being alive?

Thinking like this, Fengrou suddenly became transparent——

She is an orphan, her parents and relatives are long gone, she has no worries when she is alive, and she will not implicate anyone when she dies.Only...

In this way, let's give up this life and exchange that person's life!

Based on the friendship he has been with for many years... the emperor will let that person go because of the friendship he has been with him for many years... right?

Feng Rou moved towards the side hall with heavy steps, but her heart sank little by little: she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she couldn't know for sure whether the emperor would still care about love.

There is nothing wrong with whoever likes whom.

It is not wrong for that person to pity himself, and to pity himself in that way.

The only fault was that he didn't make a decision, which made her suffer.

Feng Rou was in a trance until she stood alone in front of Yuan Youqi, but she still hadn't recovered.

"Concubine... what are you thinking?" Yuan Youqi sat on the chair, staring at Fengrou expressionlessly.

Feng Rou suddenly realized it, and was startled, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, but there was no smile.

"My concubine, Your Majesty please greet me!" She didn't answer Yuan Youqi's question.

Yuan Youqi stared at her kneeling in front of him, looked at her for a while, and Fang Leng said quietly: "I lost weight..."

Feng Rou's stiff back froze, and a sense of grievance suddenly filled her heart.

However, she straightened her back rather stubbornly, and said indifferently: "Thanks to His Majesty's great kindness, my concubine has no worries about food and clothing."

Yuan Youqi's chest froze, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he said coldly, "You are blaming me."

Feng Rou's voice was colder than hers: "I dare not."

Yuan Youqi laughed angrily: "Don't dare? I see you dare! How dare you? There are many things you dare to do!"

At this point in Yuan Youqi's words, an inexplicable anger slammed into the door, and he stood up abruptly.

After all, she is an emperor, and she is an emperor who has been used to the country for 15 years. She has something she can be proud of.And these things, after being trampled on once by Tan Shaoer and Wu Linlang, were trampled on by the woman in front of her who had known her for 20 years.

This woman made a mistake, and she has such a laissez-faire and disdainful attitude!

Emperor Longwei, how could he be so ignorant?

Yuan Youqi couldn't hold back the annoyance in his heart, he strode to the bookshelf next to the wall, and splashed all the books and literature toys on the shelf on the ground with a "crash".

The sound of porcelain cracking exploded in Fengrou's ears, and with the flick of Yuan Youqi's sleeves, Fengrou felt that her heart was also shattered.

She gently closed her eyes, just waiting for the deadly knife to fall down and take her own life.

"Bam—"

A handful of things were thrown in front of Fengrou.

Fengrou's heart trembled.

After the sound was heard, the first reaction in her mind was not "it was finally discovered", but fear that the scroll would be damaged by Yuan Youqi's rude force.

There are few good things left in this world, if these are also damaged, then there is really nothing to miss!

Feng Rou hurriedly opened her eyes, regardless of how Yuan Youqi looked at her from above, she walked closer on her knees, picked up scrolls one by one, straightened them out one by one, and stroked the quilt with her palm. A few corners were broken, and uncontrollable pity flashed in the eyes.

The corners of Yuan Youqi's lips trembled uncontrollably, and he sneered: "Okay! Very good!"

She laughed horribly: "My noble concubine, my noble concubine Feng! You are so wonderful!"

Feng Rou embraced the scroll with the most broken corners, no one knew what her expression was at the moment, and what was thinking in her heart.

And if that scroll is unfolded, you can see Tang Yi standing in the rain in the slanting wind and drizzle in the Jiangnan scenery, looking at the lonely mountain in the distance, looking lost.

Yuan Youqi hated Feng Rou's neglect of her appearance, her voice suddenly raised her voice, and said sharply: "You love her so much! You love her so much that she sent you a painting! This, and these, are all paintings drawn by her. For you!"

The tone is affirmative, without doubt.

If before, even when Yuan Youqi discovered her secret, Feng Rou could still keep her unruly words, but now, when Yuan Youqi suddenly said "her", she was shocked.

Feng Rou's hands seemed to have been suddenly pulled out of all their strength, and with a sudden shake, the scroll of Tang Yi fell on the floor tiles.

Yuan Youqi looked at her like watching a show, with a look of complacency flowing from the corner of his eyes.

Fengrou was at a loss for a moment, raised her head in horror, looked at Shangyuan Youqi, and then her whole body seemed to be stunned, all the things that had shone on her were eclipsed at this moment.

She jerked her head down again.

The contrast between before and after is too obvious.When she was getting tired, Yuan Youqi's eyes flashed with worry.

Before Yuan Youqi could say anything, Fengrou bowed down deeply first, touched the ground with her forehead, and made a thumping sound.

"The concubine is guilty, the crime is unforgivable! Your Majesty...give the concubine a death!" She kowtowed and kept saying.

Yuan Youqi's figure swayed slightly, and his palms firmly grasped the armrest of the wooden chair behind him.Only in this way can she restrain herself from helping Feng Rou.

"You want to die?" Yuan Youqi tried to calm his voice and asked.
