Desire for shadows

On the second day when they went to the court, the memorials of the ministers and censors were piled up in front of Duanmu's imperial case as if they didn't want money, and the entire harem in the palace was set on fire. The Qiankun Palace was not lit. It’s already on fire!), how could such a dangerous matter not be dealt with properly?If you can burn the harem today, you can burn the entire Duanmu Dynasty tomorrow, so we must strictly investigate and punish the murderer!

Looking at the pile of memorials, listening to the indignant speeches below, and thinking about the fact that Shang has not yet settled down at all, Duanmu's mood is completely shrouded in dark clouds.

Seeing that the air pressure in Duanmu was getting lower and lower, all the ministers in the underground shut up in unison. They looked at their noses and noses, and looked at their hearts. This matter is well known, and they don't need to intervene anymore.

"Report to the emperor, there are bandits in Jiangcheng, and the local officials have been encircling and suppressing several times, but it is not good--" the active officials immediately changed the subject after understanding.The harem is being burned, the emperor himself is not in a hurry, what's the use of us being in a hurry!So all the ministers shut up and didn't talk about it, as if they didn't know about this matter again, what should happen to other things or continue.

Seeing that the ministers below were sensible and no longer mentioned the fire in the harem, Duanmu's mood improved a lot. Although Duanmu knew that even if he followed the ministers' wish to arrest the murderer, it would be impossible to find Shang's head, but Duanmuzhen just didn't dare to take this risk. If Shang knew that he had actually planned to arrest the murderer who set the fire, then he would have no chance of getting Shang's forgiveness.Now that Duanmuxiu has immediately removed all the knives in the harem, Duanmuxiu can only hope that Shang will more or less see his sincerity after knowing the news, and he can still abide by the January agreement Otherwise, Shang would have nothing to do if he didn't abide by himself.All Duanmu can do now is wait.But this month has just passed, and there is still a month to wait!

But at this time, Shang stayed in the palace and did not go out. The question is where did Shang stay but was not found?That was the Shadow Pavilion, the place where Shang had been asleep for five years.

Shang stayed alone in the Shadow Pavilion for a long, long time. Since the day Shang was born, he has never been so troubled. Before, Shang was simple and cold-hearted, and had nothing to worry about. Now I know love knows I know sadness, I know anger, I know disappointment, and I know what upset is.

Shang stood alone in the pavilion and thought for a long, long time without taking a break. Finally, after a few days, Shang finally walked out of the Shadow Pavilion one night. He wanted to visit Duanmu again to make sure it was true. to give up.But Shu who walked out was taken aback by the desolate harem. Why is the whole harem so empty?Looking at the lifeless harem, Shang was taken aback. Although he was very angry and set fire to the entire harem that day, it would not be possible to burn the entire harem to the ground.

When talking about the harem, one has to say that Duanmu was really resolute. On the third day after the imperial decree was issued, the entire harem was cleaned up. Some court ladies followed the concubines to Qinchun Garden, and the rest were All the edicts written by Duanmu were released from the palace with the mighty grace of the emperor.From this point, it can also be seen that Duanmu has no room for raising those concubines in Qinchun Garden for the rest of their lives.

Even though those young princes and princesses were reluctant and cried earth-shatteringly, Duanmu could only take a step back and keep those concubines with children, and all other childless concubines moved out of the palace.So now the harem is empty as if it had been ransacked, and the remaining concubines seemed to spend the rest of their lives hugging their sons and daughters who had managed to stay by their side to cultivate their feelings.

And after such a scene, all the eunuchs and court ladies were low-key and couldn't be more low-key. No one dared to whisper the news, and they all behaved with their tails between their tails. His Majesty the Emperor didn't even cry

How is this going?As if entering the land of no one, Shang avoided everyone and came to the bedroom of Qiankun Palace. Although it had been burned down by him and it was pitch black, for some reason, Shang believed that Duanmuyu would definitely sleep here now. Would not go anywhere else.But if Duanmu is really sleeping in another woman's bed now, then I believe Shang will leave without looking back, even after three years, he will not return to the palace.

The bedroom has been completely replaced with new furniture and furnishings, but those dark walls cannot be cleaned up in a short time, and Duanmu has not much time for those craftsmen, so they can only add new furniture to the four walls. The upper ceiling had to be repainted, and in order to allow Duanmuxi to move in as soon as possible, it was baked at high temperature for a long time, and then a layer of cloth was covered on the walls. This was barely finished.You must know that when I saw Duanmu in the past few days, I just added a couch to make do with it outside. No matter how Li Dewei persuaded me, Duanmu had already moved into the dormitory again, and I no longer needed to nest in the small couch. up.

It's still not deep yet, and Duanmu has not gone to bed yet, he is still sitting on the dragon chair in front, carefully reviewing the memorial with a missing pen, so now Shang is standing alone in the brand-new sleeping hall.But it is this brand-new bedroom that completely suppresses Shang. The four walls, even the wall where the dragon is about to touch, are full of portraits of Shang, or people who bow their heads and know nothing. Some of them stood up and made a cut, or they were lazily lying on the bed, or they looked at others coldly, or they were flushed after a passionate kiss, and they were framed one by one and hung on the wall.Shang looked at the pictures one by one, and knew what it was like in his heart, it was astringent and sweet.It can be seen that these words are drawn by Duanmulu stroke by stroke. From the charm of these paintings, it can be seen what kind of mood Duanmulu was in when he drew these paintings. If there is apology, it is more But it is affectionate——

At the beginning, the portrait of Duanmuning hanging on Duanmuying's bed made Duanmuying feel completely abandoned at that time, but these paintings now make Shang feel that the world is changing, and Shang doesn't know how he should face it. This man who probably just climbed out of another woman's bed, even if this man has a place in his heart and even a lot of weight.Shang's pride would not allow Ting to share his lover with others, even though he still didn't know exactly how the relationship between lovers was.

Finally, Shang walked to the edge of the dragon bed, saw a scroll beside the pillow, picked it up and slowly opened it, but after opening it, Shang's whole body instantly turned red, like cooked shrimp.

What Shang saw was nothing else but a painting that Duanmu had painted for Shang.

Shang couldn't believe that Duanmuxi dared to draw this kind of painting, and the protagonist of the portrait was Shang himself.When Shang really saw the contents of the painting clearly, he went up to the fire and burned the painting dry, but Shang's hand did not move for a long time.

"Bold!" With a loud shout, Shang propped himself up on the bed with one hand and was about to reach the painting with the other hand, his hands softened in fright, and he lay down on the bed.Shang suddenly became unhappy, and turned his head to look at Duanmuxi who was standing at the door very unhappy.

"Shang'er—" Looking at the person he thought he would never see again, Duanmu was agitated, ignoring Shang's serious and strong dissatisfaction, he strode up, picked up Shang on the straight bed with his shoes on In his arms, "Shang'er!" Duanmushu silently said, "Shang'er, Shang'er, Shang'er..." Duanmuyu kept chanting, buried his head deep in Shang's neck, and smelled fiercely the sweat on Shang's body. smell.Great, Shang'er is back!

"What's your name!" Shang felt that Duanmulu was really annoying now, so he couldn't help interrupting him from looking at the painting, and now he kept calling his name while hugging himself for no reason.

"Hehe!" Seeing that Shang was getting a little annoyed, Duanmu stopped screaming, instead, he kept staring at Shang's face with a smirk, Shang rolled his eyes in his heart, and then shouted: "Shut up!"

Duanmuxi looked at Shang as if he was really angry, shut up obediently, and then stared greedily at Shang, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Speak!" Shang straightened up, slid to the edge of the bed, and said lightly.

Looking at Shang's movements and tone of voice, Duanmu knew what Shang meant.

"It's my fault!" Duan Muze knew that no matter how he explained it, it would be of no avail. If he touched other women, he had touched it. No matter what he said, he couldn't erase this fact.

Shang didn't move or answer the words, just quietly waiting for the next sentence.

"I have sent all the women out of the palace except those who have sons, you will never see them again, and I promise I will never touch other women, and men!" Duanmu raised a hand solemnly Make a guarantee.Having already suffered a loss, Duanmu will not suffer another setback in this aspect. No matter how uncomfortable it will be in the future, Duanmu will decide to endure it or support himself.

Shang turned his head and looked at Duanmushu. In fact, he just wanted to know Duanmuzhuan's attitude. To be honest, Shang didn't believe that words followed by actual actions were the most authentic and most convincing.
