Xiao Lingming looked down at him holding his hand, and smiled, and then there was a frank malice in his eyes that Song Xian couldn't understand at the moment, "Xian'er's heart is very good, but unfortunately I can't wait .”

"It's not indecent to come and go, and I have a gift for you from this palace." He met Song Xian's eyes, "The sage has summoned Zhou Shilang to draft an imperial edict to abolish the queen, and will soon make this palace the official palace. Xian'er He is the concubine of the main palace, and his name is so legitimate, if he wants to come to Dingyuanhou's mansion, it doesn't matter if he gives up."

He knew that Song Xian was just being angered by him, and he also knew that Song Xian's tricks were exhausted, even if the cold-hearted person was provoked by the emperor just now, he came to say these words to coax him, or he used it to avoid being disturbed by his relatives in the future. Himself, but it is rare for Song Xian to say such a thing.

But Xiao Lingming just couldn't get over his heart. He lived alone in the love and resentment that the emperor couldn't ask for, and was rubbed beyond recognition by the supreme power. Why did Song Xian have such a good life?

Song Xian had never enjoyed a family relationship under Song Yu's knees, but Song Yu was protecting him with all his heart, wanting him to be upright, and justifiably walk to the position of supreme under heaven.

And he was brought up by the emperor, and he couldn't even keep his name in the end.

He has no intention of power, but he still wants to ask the last question——Why?

Xiao Lingming's words were clear, soft and slow.

Song Xian listened to each word in his heart, only to feel that his whole body stiffened inch by inch like falling into an ice cave, and forgot to put on that layer of decent skin for a while, shook off Xiao Lingming's hand, stood up and gritted his teeth, " You clearly know my plan... after I succeed to the throne, you will be..."

Xiao Lingming suddenly slashed at Song Xian, raised his voice and asked sarcastically, "Your plan? Keep me in the palace after the collapse of the mountain, or simply ask me to fake my death and enter your harem? It's just a change." It's just a coffin."

Xiao Lingming looked at Song Xian, who was speechless for a while, who was rarely able to argue, reached out and touched the top of his hair, pressed it against his cheek, and whispered like the whisper between the beds in the past, "Song Xian, you are too greedy." .”

"—You are so lucky that you want everything."

"But I will stay in the palace forever by your side as you wish. Aren't you happy?" Xiao Lingming backed away again, seeing that he could no longer restrain his emotions amidst his vicious words, Song Xian, who seemed to be in a daze, froze in place, moved closer, and made the last stab with a smile, "It's a pity that it's your father's wife."

Satisfied, he watched Song Xian seldom surprised by the sudden tears falling down his face.

Song Xian didn't even know why he was crying.

This is the truth he has known since he was a few years old. As a child of the Tian family, he is wrapped up in the supreme power in the world, and it is common for father and son to turn against each other and brothers to fight against each other.Those who are connected by blood will inevitably betray and fight to the death, let alone outsiders who are connected by affection.

Only the power to control the life and death of others in your hands is a reliable thing.Xiao Lingming should choose to have more emperors as a matter of course.

This was the first time Song Xian had promised something so sincerely, but he was poured over his head by a basin of ice water, which made his heart and lungs tremble.

Song Xian raised the back of his hand and wiped the moisture on his face in a panic. He didn't know that the sadness in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and then it fell into Xiao Lingming's eyes so brightly, announcing that Song Xian had collapsed in this entanglement. Thousands of miles of defeat.

He was only immersed in the rare bewilderment, thinking about what he should say, how to speak sweetly at this time to impress the person in front of him.

However, Song Xian stiffly repeated the movement of opening his mouth several times, and only squeezed out a clumsy sentence, which even he himself found meaningless and convincing, "...I...I really like you..."

But Xiao Lingming raised a sincere and bright smile as if he was really happy after hearing it, "I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it a little bit."

"You... Now that you know..." Song Xian's always calculating heart was in a mess at the moment, his throat was sore, and he didn't even know what he was talking about, but subconsciously felt that he should speak again.

Xiao Lingming interrupted him softly, "—then you can cry for a while, why am I always the only one crying, and I am in pain?"

He gently but cruelly pushed away Song Xian's hand that was holding onto his sleeve, "You Song Xian, Yu Ya, and Dingyuan Houfu are all going to cry, all of you have to cry."

After he finished speaking, he put Song Xianshe in place and walked towards the inner room.When he was almost at the door, he seemed to think of something and turned around slowly.

Xiao Lingming looked at the candlelight standing in the shadows, and pointed at Song Xianyao, who was staring at him with his hands behind his back, although there were tears still on his face, but he said, "You'd better not stop me!" I, take it in peace, just treat it as if I sent you to the throne and left and right clean, and you and I got to know each other for a while."

"—Otherwise, you can try it. Whose side is the Sacred Heart? If I can send you up, I can naturally pull you down."

Song Xian stared at him, his eyes were sharp and hurt like a doomed monster, but he had the answer soberly in his heart, the sacred heart was naturally in Xiao Lingming, and his good father, the mother of the country, and Hou Menhe's mansion could be sent to him hands, not to mention my son who has no affection.

Suddenly, Song Xian's handsome face raised a flattering smile, as if nothing happened, he bent down and bowed, "Then Xianer thank you for your hard work."

After the emperor returned to Luan, Xiao Lingming chose Sui'er's temporary destination, and personally organized her funeral.Although it was simple, Xiao Lingming personally carried the coffin to Qionghua's sect, and with the connivance of the saint, he was able to finish the first seven days of Sui'er in Zhaoyang Palace.

The queen was abolished as a commoner because of various major faults, and lived in seclusion in Yong'an.Although the official decree of the empress has not yet been issued, the emperor has done it without concealment, and everyone knows the meaning of supporting the emperor and noble concubine.

Xiao Lingming sat at the table and listened to Li Zhi's detailed report on the situation outside, he was still dressed in plain jade hairpin, although it was not considered to be wearing mourning, it was not in good shape after all.It's just that the emperor is in control, and no one dares to say that's all.

"Since everyone knows about it, the person from Linling Pavilion must know about it too."

Li Zhi bowed his head and said yes.

……

Linling Pavilion is not a cold palace, but an ordinary secluded palace in the harem, but the emperor has given orders first, although there is no shortage of food and clothing, there is no one to serve it.

When Xiao Lingming saw Yu Ya again, she had completely lost the haughty look she had at the Hundred Days Banquet. She was still wearing a gorgeous dress made by a prince or concubine, but her face was facing the sky, her hair was loose, and she was just sitting Looking outside blindly by the window.

When she heard movement behind her, she turned her face, only to see Emperor Ming imperial concubine sending out all the people behind her.

Yu Ya probably knew it in her heart, she just watched it coldly, until the door was slowly closed behind Ming Huang Guifei, and she said indifferently, "Is the empress here to give the dead concubine? The prince came to see the concubine... His concubine..."

Yu Ya paused for a moment, then turned the subject, and asked: "It's just a slave, should the concubine pay for her life? Which law is so ridiculous...Your Majesty, you are too domineering to act on your favor."

There was no expression on Xiao Lingming's face, he just asked: "Should Sui'er deserve to die? Which law is so ridiculous that because a servant has made you jealous, he will die and suffer such humiliation?"

"That's right, a concubine hurts someone's life because of a momentary liking and dislike, but it's true that I shouldn't feel resentful towards my mother for taking my concubine's life because of a momentary liking and disliking." Yu Ya sneered.

Xiao Lingming was not moved by her words in the slightest, he just sat down straight, folded his hands on his knees, looked down at the fine moiré patterns on his skirt, raised his head and said, "Your likes and dislikes... don't go Aiming at Prince Rui who is partial to his concubine, instead of targeting Concubine Yu who raised all of Prince Rui's children, he would attack Sui'er..."

Yu Ya seemed to know that her death was imminent, so she broke the pot and smashed it, she snorted, "Tao Tao, Tao Tao is the daughter of a scholarly scholar, her family background is not obvious, and because of her background as a concubine, no matter how much the lord likes her more than me Go. What does the concubine care about with her. The concubine also cares about her children. As for the prince, he wants as many as he likes, and there are things on the left and right."

"This concubine just hates that bitch Sui'er, a slave thing, offending my concubine, I can't stand it anymore, let's kill him to vent my anger..."

She covered her lips and smiled, "Later, I found out that you valued her, but my concubine immediately came up with the antidote. It's her fate. Don't you think so, my concubine hasn't had a son and a half for so many years. She... That’s it right away.”

"—I guess it's fate."

"Let's break it down as a servant girl. There are so many aunts and maids around you, who knows who you love? The concubine is the daughter of the Marquis, the prince's concubine, and she went crazy and killed Lan Ting, who was next to the prince. At most, the prince is reprimanding and punishing."

"If it weren't for you... who would be so crazy and care about concubines to such an extent, saint? Our saint is cold-hearted, he would turn a blind eye even when his concubine moved the queen, let alone a servant girl .If you really care so much about marrying her off as a decent person and then come back to serve you, you won't let the concubine look away and make her kill her in vain."

Xiao Lingming watched her finish her sentence with a calm face, then turned the ring on his hand, and said in a steady tone, "You asked me earlier if I was here to kill you, that's not true."

He said with a soft smile, "I have always been soft-hearted towards women. I will give you two choices. One is to commit suicide by accepting grace, and the other is to destroy the whole house."
