After dinner, the sun gradually moved to the west.

In the main hall of the Imperial City of the Dajin Palace, in the Royal Study Room.

As the sky was getting darker, the big eunuch lowered his body and held a candle, leading a row of young eunuchs behind him. He was about to step into the hall when he suddenly felt a bright light in front of his eyes. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Empress Empress, why are you here?"

"I heard that the emperor has returned to the palace. I came to see the emperor. I have something to ask for the emperor's will." The visitor raised his arm and took the bright yellow candle from the eunuch. Turning around, as if through the window screen not far away, I saw the people in the hall who were reading the memorial at their desks.

"But I came here to see that the emperor is busy with government affairs, but I don't want to disturb the emperor."

The chief eunuch Wei Hai stood cautiously dressed in a pair of red birds and phoenix girls, his black hair was tied around his ears with a golden and ruby-studded phoenix hairpin, and there were golden and red tassels hanging from the sleeves of his robe. His face was clear and beautiful. Beside the empress of the main palace, seeing that the empress was about to leave as soon as she arrived, she quickly responded in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to raise his hand to take the candle in the queen's hand, the hand holding the candle moved slightly, followed by the queen's sigh.

"Forget it, this matter will have a result sooner or later... You can report it."

"I would like to obey the imperial edict." Wei Hai hurriedly lowered his body when he heard the words, ran to the door of the imperial study with small steps, and reported loudly with a flick of the whisk, "The empress is here!"

"See empress empress, empress is a thousand years old!"

As soon as Wei Hai's voice sounded, the staff in the imperial study could not help but pause, raised their heads and stared at the fiery red shadow behind the opened door, and could not help narrowing their eyes slightly.

"Go down, I want to stay alone with His Majesty for a while."

The eunuch watched the queen enter with a candle, quickly lowered himself and closed the door for him, and replied, "Yes, empress."

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and stood up, watched the approaching figure come to him, placed the candle in the corner of the table, and looked down at the memorials he had just reviewed, his face was as bright as the moon, his eyes were indifferent Bo, his heart couldn't help but move slightly, but his voice was extremely cold: "The queen is here at this time, is there anything important?"

"Why did you come here, Your Majesty doesn't know very well?" Since entering the palace, Wu Yaqing, the twin son who was named empress, has never called himself a concubine in front of the emperor, and has always been a more indifferent minister. The Ya clan's biggest backer has always been very indifferent to Wu Ya clan. Only when Wu Ya clan asks for important matters in the palace will he say a word in front of the emperor.

Usually, the empress eats fast and recites Buddha in the middle palace, and rarely sleeps with her cards turned over, not to mention the affairs of the harem. Up to now, she has no biological children, but the eldest prince Nan Jinglong of the former empress Wu Ya's family, and the fourth prince Nan Jinglin Ji Under his name, he is the rightful son of the royal family.

While the emperor was still looking at him, the empress looked away, her tone neither salty nor weak.

"The minister's niece came into the palace today. During the time when His Majesty is missing, His Majesty should know why the minister's niece is here."

When the emperor heard him bring up this topic, he instantly thought of Jiang Luoyu whom he had just met this morning. That Murong Hao who was dismissed from his position yesterday?

"Your Majesty misunderstood."

The empress walked to the table, put away the memorials that the emperor had not put away just now, and put the pen and pen holder aside, her tone remained calm, and she didn't even change her expression.

"What I mean is to let His Majesty restore Murong Hao's official position. After all, General Murong is also a loyal minister and good general, not to mention that he has just made great achievements. As for the marriage - I heard that His Majesty was at the celebration banquet yesterday. I promised General Murong to marry the one he loves, and this minister is not unreasonable, so I simply let General Murong return to his post, as for who the general will marry in the end, His Majesty can wait for him to come and ask for an order."

The emperor watched him tidy up the table little by little, and suddenly raised his hand to clasp his wrist, almost forcing him in front of his eyes, with ridicule and sarcasm in his words: "And then? When I resume Murong Hao's position, Why don't you Wu Ya just go straight to grab his so-called sweetheart and force him to marry your arrogant niece? It's really a good idea!"

The person whose wrist was held by him heard him mention the word arrogance, and remembered Wu Yaduo's eyes that were bound to win and mixed with viciousness when he entered the palace in the morning. There was a trace of pity and indifference in the eyes, which missed the emperor's words His eyes were soft and did not struggle, but he retorted in a low voice: "I don't think so, Your Majesty is too worried."

"Overwhelmed? I'd rather hope that I was wrong, but this is not the first time Queen! How many times has the Wu Ya family used this in the court? Song Yuzhen, the champion of literature who was elected last time, wanted to reuse it, but you You guessed what I was thinking, just as I was about to promote him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, you forced his original wife to death and married a concubine of your younger brother to him!"

The emperor heard the words, but he refused to give up at all. The hand in his heart became tighter and tighter, and his breath almost hit the face of the queen who was close at hand.

"If the Empress thinks this incident is just an accident, I can give many more examples. Do you want to see for yourself, Empress, what Wu Yashi has done? You are still speaking for them!"

Sensing that the person was getting closer, the queen struggled weakly, but she couldn't get away. The crested hairpin on the back of her head shook, reflecting a golden light, but she was as weak as her master.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"I can't appease my anger!"

These four words seemed to have broken the last string in the emperor's mind. Nan Jinxu's eyes suddenly looked deep, and the hand holding his wrist was suddenly released, but before the queen could react, he held it tight. Cracking his jaw and forcing him to lift his head, he said through gritted teeth, looking directly into his eyes.

"Queen, do you really want to hide from me like this for the rest of your life?! Just eat vegetarian food, chant Buddha and ignore the harem every day! For those people, look what you have become! Now you still speak for them? ! Look at me! Answer my question!"

The emperor's anger was endless, both his eyes and his tone were extremely terrifying, as if someone would swallow that person alive if he refuted him, but he kept holding his head down and refused to talk to him. The queen, who was looking at each other, suddenly raised her head slowly, with a bleak smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, you forgot that my surname is Wu Ya, and I am the younger brother of Wu Yatuo, the Taishi Taifu. This is a fact that will never be changed for the rest of my life.

"



"But you are different from them!" The emperor saw him raise his head, his eyes rippled like water waves in the dimly lit hall,

In the depths, it was as quiet as stagnant water, and there was a trace of tragic charm on the beautiful face, and he couldn't help but loosen his jaw for a moment, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

"Qing'er! Wake up! Don't worry about Wu Yashi anymore, stand with me, and I will..."

Before he could finish speaking, the extremely docile person lying in his arms gave a low laugh, raised his fingers little by little, opened the emperor's hand on his waist, and took two steps back as if he couldn't bear it: " Your Majesty... don't use this tone of voice to call me, I am no longer the palace servant of the past, and your majesty and me will never go back to the past."

Seeing him staggering back, the emperor lowered his eyes again as if trying to escape, and the suppressed anger rose again: "Qing'er! I just lied to you back then, so why do you hold grudges and still refuse to forgive me even though you When I first entered the palace, I thought you were the same as them, but after so many things happened, I always treat you..."

Speaking of this, the queen standing by the table suddenly trembled, as if she could no longer bear the emperor's next words, she turned around and was about to walk out, and she didn't even say anything about Wu Yaduo just now, but she didn't After he took a few steps, the emperor quickly stepped forward and put his arms around his waist, pulled him back and lowered his head to kiss the bloodless lips.

The two were entangled in the dark hall, and within a short while, the person lying in one's arms suddenly struggled violently, the long sleeves knocked over the brush on one side, and the clear water flowed down the table to get wet He took off the fringe on his clothes, but he didn't seem to notice it, he just stared at the person close at hand, a sneer escaped from his lips.

"Your Majesty is so obsessed with this subject, it seems that Your Majesty has really forgotten why the subject entered the palace back then, what does Your Majesty think?"

Hearing the words why he entered the palace, the emperor's face quickly froze in the darkness, the anxiety and worry just now were frozen into ice in an instant, and the gloomy gaze was so cold in the deep darkness that people dare not look directly at it However, Wu Yaqing, who was standing opposite him, regained the calmness when she entered the door, and looked at him expressionlessly.

"After so many years, even though she has betrayed you, you still think about her!"

After a long time, when it seemed that the darkness in the hall was about to solidify, the emperor's solemn voice resounded in the hall again.

"I know it's because of me that I changed you from a man to a woman, but all these years... all these years, can't you see my sincerity at all?"

"You don't need to say any more." Hearing this, the fingers hidden in the golden-red sleeves trembled, and the beautiful and charming face twisted for a moment, and then the death-like silence returned, with a deep voice in the words. self-deprecating.

"My heart, as early as the night I entered the palace, was burned to ashes and disappeared. What remained in this palace was just an empty space."

shell. "

In an instant, as if completely irritated by these words, the emperor grabbed the golden-red sleeve again, and his fingers almost stuck to the man's waist. From the outside, the two seemed to be hugging each other tightly, but in fact they It was the emperor who held the person in his arms tightly, not allowing him to struggle, his fingers slid down his back, and with a ripping sound, the golden and red queen's formal attire was torn away.
