must have fun

Shu Dian looked at Xuan Cheng's back together, with a smile still on his face, but his mind wandered to what Lu Meng had just said to her.

"It's time for my Xuancheng to be a mother."

The moment she heard this, many thoughts flooded her mind.

About Xuancheng, about myself, about the relationship between the two, and those questions that I haven't thought about for a long time.

It's not that she didn't think about confessing everything to Xuancheng, and then letting Xuancheng decide her own life and death.

However, she was imprisoned layer upon layer, so how could she dare to speak easily?

Even if Xuancheng is lucky enough to accept it, how will the two of them get along in the future?It's not enough for her to deceive the world by herself, should she drag another person into the water?

Apostasy... Morality and etiquette... The world does not tolerate... After the incident is exposed, the eyes of the world will look at Xuancheng... One day they will wake up from their dreams... I am deceiving myself and others... Xuancheng will not want her husband It's a woman...the princess has her responsibilities too...she should have a real son-in-law...children...

Wait, these thoughts are lingering in her mind, lingering, lingering, convincing herself with one problem, and thousands of problems are born... like layers of shackles on her shoulders .

After Shu Dian closed his eyes to calm his thoughts, he opened his eyes again, the sound of children playing in the inner hall, and the scar on his heart that had never healed was bleeding.

In the end, even though she is under all the pressure alone, she still hopes to be with Xuancheng and is unwilling to take any risks.For example, a person who is about to die knows that his death is approaching, but in desperation, he can't help but pray to God to bless him so that he can survive one day at a time...

Glancing inadvertently from the corner of her eyes, she noticed a small middle-ranking officer hiding behind a pillar on the side, looking over here.Being discovered, the little middle official quickly shrank back behind the pillar, trying to confuse him.

"Come out." Shu Dianhe ordered.

Hearing the sound, the little middle official had no choice but to come out obediently, and bowed to Shu Dianhe: "See the son-in-law."

Shu Dianhe sized him up and asked, "What are you doing hiding there?"

The little middle official seemed to be hiding some secret, looking left and right, hesitating to speak, not daring to say what he wanted to say easily.

When Shu Dianhe saw him, he always pretended to look into the palace unintentionally, and said, "Are you looking for the princess?"

The little middle official was suddenly punctured, he raised his eyes timidly to look at Shu Dianhe, rubbed his hands hidden in his sleeves and said: "If you go back to the son-in-law, the servant is looking for the princess."

"Is there a problem?"

The little middle official hesitated for a moment, thinking of the concubine De's entrustment to him in the cold palace, he must meet the princess in person, but the son-in-law is here, and if he wants to see the princess, he must pass the concubine's hurdle first. Immediately knelt down to Shu Dianhe, and said frankly: "The concubine De concubine asked the servants to come over, and asked the princess to meet in the cold palace."

Concubine De?Eight Princes' mother?Could it be that she came to Xuancheng because of the imprisonment of the Eight Kings?

Shu Dianhe was worried that he had nowhere to find out what happened to the Eight Kings, and the opportunity in front of him couldn't be better.

The imperial city is the residence of the lord of the world. It covers more than [-] miles, with corridors and waists, and eaves and teeth pecking high. In this Guigong palace, there are also corners that cannot be touched by the sun.There are vermilion side walls and glazed tiles, but the sills and chrysanthemums in the cold palace are sparse and the wells and wu are messy. The atmosphere alone is different from other places.

When the drum was beating, the sun was slowly passing through the shadows of the trees and tilting towards the west, Shu Dianhe and Xuan Cheng were invited into the cold palace where Concubine De was imprisoned.

Shu Dianhe held the teacup and shook it lightly. If it wasn't for Xuancheng's reason, she would never have set foot in this concubine's palace in her whole life.

Concubine De was helped out by the maid with a haggard face. When she saw that there was another person beside Xuancheng, she was taken aback for a moment and then returned to her usual expression.

"Empress Defei, what's wrong with you?" Xuancheng was shocked when he saw Defei's appearance.

Shu Dianhe also had a relationship with Concubine De several times before. At that time, she loved to wear luxurious purple clothes. Although she did not have the name of queen, she was in charge of all affairs of the harem, and she had no doubt as much power as the queen. With more than a dozen serving servants, the scenery is infinite.

But the woman in front of her now has lost her gold hairpin and silver ornaments, her clothes are plain and dull, the wrinkles at the end of her eyes are prominent, and there are a few more gray hairs on her temples that she didn't notice before, she must have worked hard for her son's affairs .

Shu Dianhe's thoughts fluctuated with the tea powder in the teacup.

Concubine De waved her hands to indicate that she was fine, and sat on the chair opposite Shu Dianhe and Xuancheng.After retreating from the crowd, she tentatively asked: "Do you guys know about Zhi'er?"

Xuan Cheng and Shu Dian looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Sure enough." Concubine De smiled weakly and said, "I knew the emperor would block all news." So if she didn't ask for help, no one would be able to save her son.

Before Xuancheng and the others could react, Concubine De knelt down in front of Xuancheng with her legs bent, tears streaming down her face, and said: "Xuancheng is concerned about siblings, please save your elder brother! "

Xuancheng stood up in a flash, and quickly helped Concubine De up: "Ms. Concubine De, what are you doing? Get up, what's wrong with Brother Eighth Emperor?" Get up and kneel.

Concubine De burst into tears, and said: "Your brother Zhi was framed for raping the concubine, and was caught by the emperor on the spot, and ordered to be imprisoned in the palace, in danger!"

"This..." Xuancheng couldn't believe it, and he didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Shu Dianhe for help.

Shu Dianhe's expression froze, no wonder the outside world couldn't find out the mistakes made by the Eight Kings, it turned out to be such a thing.As the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, if Lu Meng really caught the adulterer, the first thing he would do would undoubtedly be to keep his mouth shut.

"What's going on, Empress Defei, please tell me the whole story in detail." She said with a serious face.

With no outsiders present, Concubine De was not afraid of losing face and having eyes and ears, so she talked to Xuancheng and the others while recalling the events of that day.

Time goes back to the day when it happened.

The Eighth King came to the palace to visit Concubine De, after the two talked about the matter, the Eighth King had dinner in Concubine De's palace and drank a little wine during the banquet, because it was getting late, he left the palace without staying up.It didn't take long for Concubine De to receive the news from her eyes and ears, saying that the Eight Kings broke into Concubine Li's palace with the intention of raping Concubine Li... When Concubine De rushed over, the emperor was already there...

Shu Dian frowned tightly, and asked: "Did the Eighth Prince get drunk when he left?"

Concubine De denied, "When I left, she was still awake, nothing unusual." Then she insisted, "You brother Zhi is dull by nature, how could he do such a thing, there must be someone behind him to frame him! "

"Framed? What evidence does Empress Dowager have to prove Brother Eight Emperor's innocence?" Xuancheng asked sharply.

Concubine De was dumbfounded, if she had evidence, she would have presented it long ago, why wait until now.

Seeing the change in her expression, Xuancheng knew what she was asking for, and he and Shu Dian agreed to ponder over the authenticity of this matter.

"Regardless of whether your elder brother Zhi has done this or not, you can just speak for your elder brother Zhi in front of your father." Concubine De burst into tears, holding Xuan Cheng's hand on the table and said: "Your father will definitely look out for your face and let your brother Zhi go lightly..." As he said that, he wanted to kneel down to Xuancheng again.

Concubine De's entreaties disturbed Xuancheng's thoughts, she frowned and said hesitantly: "But there is no evidence for this matter, and I can't speak for Brother Eighth Emperor..."

Concubine De couldn't wait to say: "It's just to intercede, the emperor may be able to listen to a few words because of you?"

What she meant was clearly there, and Shu Dianhe raised his brows lightly beside him, it seemed that this concubine De had already planned to make Xuancheng do something.

This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. If it is really framed, then it has an inseparable relationship with seizing the heir.If Xuancheng went to speak for the Eight Kings, she would also be involved in the vortex of seizing the heir, and there would be endless troubles.

Shu Dianhe didn't want Xuancheng to risk himself, so he lowered his face and said coldly: "What the Eight Kings did, the national laws and family regulations are all intolerable. Could it be that the empress of Defei wants Xuancheng to ignore the law and go to the emperor's favor Making trouble?"

Concubine De's complexion suddenly became embarrassing, the atmosphere in the palace tightened, and there was no sound. Xuancheng looked at the people around him in confusion, not believing that she would say such heartless words.Using the cover of the table and chairs, Shu Dianhe lightly stroked a circle on her palm, and tapped again.

Xuancheng understood what she meant, blinked his eyes, sighed pretentiously, and said: "The son-in-law is right, Empress Concubine De will find other ways."

After taking Shu Dian together to leave, Xuancheng dared not look into Concubine De's eyes again, for fear that the pair would be unable to control their soft-heartedness due to the endless despair hidden inside.

After Xuancheng returned to his princess mansion, he sat down on the chair and said firmly: "I think there is something strange about Brother Eighth Emperor."

Shu Dianhe acquiesced to her statement, and then explained why he blocked Xuancheng from agreeing to Concubine De's request: "There are eyes and ears of others everywhere in the inner courtyard of the palace, so we must be careful in our actions, not to mention that our identities are not suitable to be exposed publicly. Talk about it."

She took the tea from Mian'er's hand and brought it to Xuancheng. The two of them ran outside for a whole day, and Xuancheng hardly drank any water.

Xuancheng squinted at her, his black and white eyes seemed to stare at Shu Dianhe: "Have you already figured out how to save Brother Eight Emperor?"

"This matter is difficult." Shu Dianhe has not yet made up his mind, and is weighing it.

The bad thing about this matter is that it involves the face of the harem and the emperor. It cannot be dragged on the bright side, and it may be related to the seizure of the heir in the dark. Multiple factors are intertwined, which is troublesome.

There are only two ways to save the Eight Kings from the crime, either to prove that the Eight Kings are innocent, or to take a slanted sword and break the situation from an additional angle.

Xuancheng pursed his lips and said: "Brother Eight Emperor is the only son of Concubine De, and Concubine De will be very sad if she loses him. Although my relationship with Brother Eight Emperor is not very good, Empress De Concubine treats me well It's not impossible for me to intercede for Brother Eighth Emperor in front of Emperor Father..."

The author has something to say: I think that with my three-year-old IQ and little energy, I can't write complicated tricks, so I'll take the tricks as an embellishment. (No, I have studied the history books... the tricks in it are all simple and fast, according to that way of writing, isn't it suitable?
