Concubine Hui was terrified. She didn't know what to do, she just felt that she couldn't bear such a secret alone.She didn't hear what they were saying, but the scene of the emperor and that man holding hands kept flashing in her mind.

After thinking about it, she still went to find Concubine Zhao Gui.

Concubine Zhao was embroidering a handkerchief, her light white fingers threading the needle slowly, calm and elegant as usual.Seeing Concubine Hui coming, she put down the work she was doing, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that my sister came here, I have nothing to do, and I just want to embroider a handkerchief for my sister."

Concubine Hui hurriedly replied: "Thank you sister, how dare you work hard on sister."

Concubine Hui was already trying to hide her emotions, but she still leaked a little nervousness and panic.Concubine Zhao asked her softly: "What's the matter? Did something happen?"

Concubine Hui looked at the maid next to her, and Concubine Zhao understood, and told everyone around her to back off.Concubine Hui then said: "I saw the emperor in the imperial garden..."

When Concubine Zhao heard that it was about the emperor, her expression became serious.She frowned slightly, waiting to hear the next sentence.

Concubine Hui said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is with a man...very close."

Concubine Zhao's eyes were lowered, her eyes fluttered, and she said after a while: "Are you also in charge of the emperor's affairs?"

"I, I also didn't mean to see it." Concubine Hui argued.She paused for a moment, then summoned up her courage and whispered: "There is one thing, let me tell you, sister, don't laugh at me...Since I gave birth to Xi'er, the emperor...has never touched me again."

Concubine Zhao's finger rubbing the teacup stopped.Of course she couldn't laugh.Perhaps the emperor hadn't touched her for a long time, she thought it was a family accident that made her fall out of favor in front of the emperor.Thank goodness the emperor didn't punish her together, she didn't dare to ask for more.

But it seems more than that.There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and she knows far more information than Concubine Hui, which makes her make a bold guess.

She said: "What a fuss, the emperor has a male favorite, so he insists on notifying you?"

"But..." After saying this, Concubine Hui still felt that something was wrong.But she "was" for a long time but she couldn't come up with a reason, she just said: "But that person doesn't look like a male favorite."

Concubine Zhao said with a smile: "It's not up to you to decide whether it looks like it or not."

Concubine Hui didn't have any idea, and after Concubine Zhao said that, she also forgot what she wanted to say.

"This, this is not very good after all, I have never heard of the emperor before..."

"After all, he is just a man." Concubine Zhao said, "What can he do? Do you still want to compete with a man?"

This is what Concubine Zhao said, but she has many considerations in her heart.From the best case to the worst, she thought about it all.

The emperor said before that he would finish compiling the Records of the First Emperor, and this matter will also begin.It was supposed to be done in Wang Huairen's hands, but it was delayed several times, and it was delayed until Wang Huairen stepped down.Now that the new prime minister is in charge, it is inevitable to appoint some newcomers.

Yan Qinghe was ordered by the emperor, and those who knew him should give some face.

The prime minister and Yan Qinghe have known each other for a long time, but they have never worked together.The prime minister first praised Yan Qinghe's literary talent, and then said: "It's a pity that you were still young when Emperor Suzong was here, and I'm afraid you don't have much impression."

Yan Qinghe replied: "In the future, I will rely on you for more advice.

The prime minister smiled and said: "I can't talk about anything, but it's just a matter of age. When Boyu entered the court, I had already spent ten years in Yongzhou, thinking that I would die in the end. The world is unpredictable, and the future of your brothers is limitless. .”

Yan Qinghe pondered what the prime minister said, is it because the eldest brother is about to be transferred?The emperor has not yet spoken to him.However, this is the eldest brother, not him.His entanglement with the emperor is endless, and it is impossible for him to have a bright future.Even if they could hide it from the whole world, he couldn't hide it from his own heart.

They were writing that the late crown prince died of illness, the late emperor was greatly mourned, and the government and the public were shocked.The prince is the most proud work of the late emperor, an excellent heir to the country, just suitable to take over the great country he built.The princelings panicked, some were busy regrouping, and some were still watching.

It was at that time that Cheng Wang began to emerge.That was a very young emperor, Yan Qinghe thought, even younger than himself now.But Yan Qinghe was too young at that time, and lacked the exact memory of the emperor.Yan Qinghe suddenly became very curious about the emperor.When the emperor was 20 years old, he must have been high-spirited, daring to love and hate.It won't be like now, being used to the throne with an unstoppable strength, but hiding emotions, elusive and unfathomable.

So it must be the emperor at that time, it must be him at that time, who loved someone truly and deeply.

The prime minister said that he didn't have a deep impression of the first emperor, and it was true.But although he is not familiar with it, someone is familiar with it.

While the emperor was reviewing the memorial, Yan Qinghe called out: "Your Majesty."

The emperor really looked up at him.He knew very well that he was special to the emperor, and now the emperor would not be displeased by being disturbed by him—but such a small indulgence also made him feel a little guilty and uneasy.Yan Qinghe hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Did the prince really die of illness?"

He wanted to ask this question for a long time, but before he opened his mouth, he hesitated.Ever since the emperor confessed his heart to him, he has made up his mind not to take another step towards the emperor's past.Since he can't agree, then all of this has nothing to do with him, he should stay away, the farther away the better.

He was clearly determined to abandon all fantasies and curiosity, so he once struggled with "why" with difficulty, but refused without hesitation when the emperor wanted to tell him.However, he couldn't control the long-standing inertia, and he still couldn't help thinking about the emperor.

There are countless people in this world who are curious about the emperor, but no one is as curious about the emperor as a person like him.

Fortunately, he now has a legitimate excuse to convince himself.He was not curious about the young emperor, he was just curious about the stories of the past, which were used to compile the records of the late emperor.

The emperor was not very surprised by his question.This is actually a very dangerous question, which sounds like it contains doubts about the origin of the throne.But this is the case between them, they can use the most relaxed tone to talk about topics that others dare not touch, but they will not easily try some relaxed ambiguity.

The emperor said: "Yes." He put down his pen and said: "Too many people asked this back then, even the emperor asked. The imperial physician killed a few, what's the use? God wants to take your life , Renjun can’t stay.”

The first emperor lost one of his best heirs, so he had to settle for second best and made a not-so-perfect choice.Yan Qinghe remembered that the emperor told him that he was inferior to the late emperor.What he didn't say was that he was not as good as the prince.Who would not recognize the goodness of the prince back then?If he is alive, he must be a wise king.

The emperor said: "Shi'an wants to ask, is it me?"

As the ultimate beneficiary of this accident, he has been asked by many people.Yan Qinghe knew that the emperor was not questioning him, he said: "Of course not. Your Majesty would not do such a thing."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "Don't believe me like this. But the situation is so restrictive, I don't have that kind of thought." At that time, he never thought about the opportunity, and devoted his youth to a hopeless longing.

He also said: "At that time the crown prince treated me very well...the Empress Dowager Xiaoren also treated me very well. Heaven is jealous of talents, and Hui Ji will be hurt. I guard the spirit of the crown prince, not for others to see. The empress dowager Xiaoren belonged to the former crown prince. The biological mother was the queen at that time.

Yan Qinghe wanted to ask again, but Liu Shan came forward with a young eunuch.The little eunuch was holding a tray in his hand, and a small box was placed on the plain brocade with dark flowers, inside the box was a jade pendant.

Liu Shandao: "Your Majesty, it's patched up, take a look."

It was the jade Weng Zhong that broke that day.The missing corners were patched up with gold, but the missing corners that were as large as rice grains were hollowed out to give the appearance of robe corners.The emperor found the box from nowhere, and also mended it with gold.

Good-looking is good-looking, expensive but not vulgar.But Yan Qinghe couldn't help showing a helpless smile when he saw it.It's beautiful, but it's not, after all, that's not what it means.

Where can I make up for it?

The emperor showed it to him, and he only said, "It's already given to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty likes it, why ask me?"

The emperor closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and told people to take the things down.He said, "Yes, it's just my own business."

Yan Qinghe lowered his eyes not to look at the emperor.Let it be over, he thought.Just give up, no one likes the days when they torture each other.

They face each other day and night, but they have to force themselves to cut off all thoughts.It hurts the most to cut yourself a knife.
