Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Xu Chengze didn't consummate the room with Guo Heng, and he didn't understand what was going on in the room, so he was too embarrassed to ask.Thinking that anyway, Guo Heng didn't want Yan Chengcai to be Rui'er's teacher, so it's okay to agree to Concubine Lin Xian.

"If I have the opportunity to meet the emperor, I will tell him about this matter. But the virtuous concubine should know that concubines in the harem cannot interfere in the government affairs, and I cannot guarantee whether the emperor will listen to my words."

Hearing what Xu Chengze said, Concubine Lin Xian knew that she agreed, and she finally felt relieved.

"Then thank you, Concubine Concubine. My sister is in poor health, and my concubine will take my leave first."

"woman.,,

Although Guo Rui was reluctant to part with him, he was still taken away by Concubine Lin Xian.

Xu Chengze sat in front of the window and meditated. Although this Concubine Lin Xian was timid and cautious, she was clear-headed.Thinking about it, if you are not a smart person, how can you survive in this harem?I heard that his father, Lin Ziming, was one of his father's subordinates, and because he was accused of unwarranted crimes by the late emperor just like Xu's family, although he didn't execute all the family members, she felt more or less disgusted with this palace. agree?

Since she is Lin Ziming's daughter, let's take care of her!

Thinking of this, Xu Chengze felt disturbed again, he wanted to spread out the rice paper to write something, let himself be quiet, Yi Na came in to report again.

"Princess, concubine Liu Shu of Xinyun Palace is asking to see you."

Concubine Liu Shu?She is here again?Come twice a day, I'm afraid I'm asking for something, right?

Xu Chengze was also helpless, he had already been thrown into limbo, why would anyone come?

"Yina, serve the tea first, and I'll go out right away."

Xu Chengze put down the banknotes, washed his hands, and then went out to meet guests.

Concubine Liu Shu is small and exquisite, with a round face and two shallow dimples on her cheeks when she smiles.

Xu Chengze's eyes fell on her belly unconsciously, maybe because it's not very old, it doesn't protrude obviously.

"Sister Guifei, the concubine is being polite."

Concubine Liu Shu was about to salute when she saw Xu Chengze. Xu Chengze stepped forward, wanting to help her, but then thought that he was a man after all, men and women could not get along well, so he glanced at Alian.

Only then did Xu Chengze say: "Concubine Shu is pregnant, so there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Concubine Liu Shu sat down and looked at Xu Chengze, "Sister Guifei is indeed a rare beauty, no wonder the emperor misses you so much.

forget 〇"

This was a bit of a joke, but her delicate expression and soft voice were not offensive.

Xu Chengze said helplessly: "Ms. Concubine Shu is joking. I am stupid and displeased the Emperor, so I was relegated to this Meifang Garden. Where is there any saying that you will never forget?"

Concubine Liu Shu curled her lips, "Sister, don't be self-effacing. Who doesn't know that the emperor likes you, even if you live in this cold palace, the number of times the emperor comes here is also the most. Besides, didn't the emperor say it a few days ago? Waiting for you to be sick Alright, you can go back to Ninghe Palace. Congratulations from my concubine! Thousands of favors will definitely be indispensable at that time."

Xu Chengze couldn't answer these words, so he could only smile and drink tea with his head down.

Concubine Liu Shu lowered her head and touched her inconspicuous stomach, and sighed.

"Ah! Ever since the concubine got pregnant, the concubine didn't dare to look at her appearance anymore. She was fat and ugly! Although the emperor would visit him from time to time, he was not as close as before. The concubine regretted having this child. !"

Xu Chengze smiled lightly and said: "I don't think Concubine Shu's body has changed much, so she is fat and ugly? Besides, having a child is a blessing. I think all the concubines in the palace envy you! The emperor has only one son now. , if you can give birth to Lin'er, the emperor will be very happy, and the favor will be indispensable at that time."

Concubine Liu Shu laughed with a little pride.

"The concubine doesn't want to have a son, but only wants to have a daughter. She is beautiful, and when she grows up, find her a good husband's family.

"

"Concubine Shu is so beautiful, the child must grow up well."

Concubine Liu Shu didn't talk about business, Xu Chengze started to feel sleepy, and he didn't have much energy.

Concubine Liu Shu said a few more words, then stood up.

"The concubine disturbed my sister's rest, so I'm going back now. My Xinyun Palace is not far from Meifang Garden. My sister has nothing to do, so you can go and have a sit."

Xu Chengze said: "Thank you Concubine Shu for your kindness. When I can leave this Meifang Garden, I will definitely visit."

"Then it's settled."

Concubine Liu Shu left without saying anything.Why did she come twice in one day?Just to gossip?Xu Chengze shook his head, not believing it.He saw Concubine Liu Shu's shrewd look, it would not be that simple.

As a man, he really couldn't think of a woman's mind, so he simply didn't want to.

With anticipation in my heart, I feel that time passes very slowly.Xu Chengze read half of the book, but actually didn't read it very much. He wrote a word, but he was not satisfied with it. He threw it into the wastebasket, and then went out to watch Yina pull the radish seedlings and Alian feed the chickens. He went back to the house to have a look. , only an hour passed.

Xu knew that he was impatient, but when he thought of seeing Guo Heng at night, he couldn't calm down.In the end, he had no choice but to sit down at the table and silently write a 36 strategy, and finally he calmed down his heart.

Xu Chengze didn't sleep all night, he changed into the guard's clothes early, and finally got up to midnight, and hurried out of Meifang Garden

This time he was familiar with the route and found the side of Taiye Pool smoothly.

From a distance, he saw a light in the Bibo Pavilion, and Guo Heng was already there.

Guo Heng stood quietly in front of the railing by the pool, facing the Taiye Pool, with his hands behind his back, under the silver moonlight, it was just a back view, but Xu Chengze felt his indescribable loneliness and desolation.

Xu Chengze didn't rush forward, but just stood not far away and looked at him.If possible, he would like to stand side by side with him and help him bear this heavy burden.

He secretly clenched his fists, one day, Guo Heng would trust him and confide all his troubles to him.

He was about to go through the gazebo to Guo Heng's side, when a person flashed out from behind the side pillar and grabbed Xu Chengze.Xu Chengze was so frightened that he almost cried out.

"Guard Yu, don't call, it's a miscellaneous family."

Then under the dim light, Xu Chengze recognized him as Shui Yun, the personal eunuch next to Guo Heng.

He swallowed the scream that came to his mouth, and lowered his voice: "Grandpa Shui, you scared me to death."

Shui Yun learned that the emperor was going out in the middle of the night again today, so he knelt on the ground and stopped him from going out.

"Your majesty, I dare not stop you, but you have to let my servant follow you. If you are cold, thirsty, or hungry, I will serve you well. You blew the wind last night, and your cough worsened today. Your Majesty, If you don’t take this servant with you, this servant will not be able to get up on his knees.”

Guo Heng knew that he was really worried about him, so he had no choice but to let him follow him.

Shuiyun lit a lamp and stood by to prevent others from approaching.

Shui Yun wondered what Guo Heng was doing here in the middle of the night, and when he saw Xu Chengze, he became even more suspicious.He didn't know this person, and confirmed that he was not Yu Qi.

He knew that the guard Yu in front of him was a fake, but he didn't dare to expose it, because he could see that the emperor valued him very much and was looking forward to meeting him.Moreover, this person is pretending to be Yu Qi, and Yu Qi is his friend. Before he understands this person's purpose, he is also afraid of getting Yu Qi into trouble.However, judging by the appearance of the person in front of him, he doesn't look like a treacherous and evil person.

He gently pulled Xu Chengze, and said in a low voice: "Guard Yu, it's cold at night, the emperor is not in good health, don't let the emperor stay for a long time.

"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shui, I understand."

This person actually knows me?Could it be that they are also from this palace?

Not to mention that Shuiyun was suspicious in his heart, Xu Chengze stepped forward lightly and looked at the person not far away.

I just heard Guo Heng read in a low voice: "The other millet is lili, the seedling of the other millet. The walking is sloppy, and the center is shaking. Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say what I want. Long sky, this Who is it?"

After Xu Chengze listened to it, he realized that the few poems read by Guo Heng were actually the ones he had written in his study a few days ago, and his heart jumped up.Why did Guo Heng read these poems?He must have heard himself coming. Is it a coincidence to read these lines of poetry, or did he see through his identity?

He was silent and did not move, and then he heard Guo Heng ask softly: "Yu Qi, what do you think of these few poems?"

Xu Chengze felt guilty for a moment and didn't know what to say. Seeing Guo Heng turned his head and looked at him straight, he suddenly came to his senses and quickly knelt down to salute.

"I've seen the emperor in my humble position, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Guo Heng stood still, but said softly: "Get up! We will meet often in the future, so there is no need for so many formalities."

Will we meet often in the future?The emperor completely believes in himself?

After Guo Heng finished speaking, he walked into the gazebo. Shuiyun quickly took a cotton cushion and put it on the stone bench. Guo Heng sat down and said, "Shuiyun,

Also prepare one for the guard. "

"say,,

疋.

Shui Yun put down the cushion, bowed to Xu Chengze, and then retreated to the side.

Guo Heng said: "Guard Yu, sit down!"

Xu Chengze bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am afraid of my humble position."

A gust of wind blew up the cloak on Guo Heng's body, and he coughed violently. He couldn't talk anymore, and quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to cover his mouth.

"emperor!"

"emperor!"

Xu Chengze stepped forward in two steps and patted Guo Heng on the back, while Shui Yun quickly took out the porcelain bottle, "Your Majesty, drink the medicine."

Guo Heng coughed for a while before he stopped coughing.

"Your Majesty, you give the veil to the humble official, and you drink water."

"woman.,,

Guo Heng didn't think much, handed the handkerchief to Xu Chengze, took the porcelain bottle in Shuiyun's hand and drank the medicine himself.

Xu Chengze carefully opened the handkerchief, he was afraid, afraid that he would see bright red blood.

The handkerchief was slowly opened, and the top was white, so Xu Chengze heaved a sigh of relief.

His actions and expressions did not escape Guo Heng's eyes. Guo Heng stopped drinking the medicine, and then quietly returned the porcelain bottle to Shui Yun.

"Shuiyun, I'm much better. You stay on the sidelines and don't bother anyone."

"say,,

疋.

Although Guo Heng stopped coughing, his voice was still hoarse.

"Guard Yu, can you tell me about your initial plan? How can I have someone available to me during this year?"
