Song Manjun did not contact Song Manzhen for a whole month. Song Manzhen began to imagine countless possibilities, but in the end the truth caught her off guard.

Song Manzhen has been working in the palace for so long, and has never been invited to the emperor's private banquet, but that day the prince handed over an invitation letter for her to attend the banquet tomorrow.

Song Manzhen saw that the invitation letter did not have the emperor's seal on it, so it was not the emperor's intention.There were not many people who could issue invitations in the palace, so she naturally thought of Liu Yutang.

As soon as Liu Yutang appeared, Song Manzhen must have thought of Chunshui.Song Manzhen was a little confused about the real reason behind the banquet invitation.The only thing I can think of is: Chunshui keeps saying that she wants revenge, so is she, Song Manzhen, also on the revenge list?

If Chun Shui was the mastermind behind the scenes, then Song Manzhen would have nothing to be afraid of.Even if Chunshui wants to take revenge on her, she is extremely calm, just let her take revenge, she Song Manzhen stands here and does not hide or dodge.

The Chongguang Hall is the main hall where important banquets are held in the imperial palace. Song Manzhen's official title is not high, and he can be regarded as a partial official, so he is rarely invited to ask for it.

It was the first time I walked into the Chongguang Hall today, and the first time I was stunned by the splendor and splendor here, my eyes hurt.The dignitaries and dignitaries in Yishui complimented each other and shared the latest rare things and rare treasures. Song Manzhen smiled lightly: It really doesn't fit in here.

"Master An."

A purple dress floated by, the fragrance was refreshing, but the posture was not light.With that voice, even if Song Manzhen was in purgatory, he could immediately recognize its owner.

"..." I didn't know how to address Chunshui for a moment, and after turning around, Song Manzhen paused for a while, then bowed deeply.

Chun Shui said with a smile: "Master An, why do you have to do such a great gift? If someone sees it, they will say that the little girl is ignorant."

Song Manzhen replied: "Now that the girl is the most favored concubine by your majesty's side, it's normal for her to leave her official luggage."

Hearing what she said, Chunshui laughed even more happily, and gestured her to approach with Gogou fingers.

Song Manzhen was taken aback for a moment, and she was a little embarrassed when she understood what Chunshui meant, but thinking that they were both women, even if they whispered to each other in public, they would not be suspected, at most they would be labeled as ill-bred.

Song Manzhen stuck to her, and Chunshui whispered in her ear.That voice had a strange ambiguous feeling, which tickled her heart, and she didn't pay attention to the content of her words for a while.When Song Manzhen recovered and realized what Chun Shui said, she broke out in a cold sweat secretly.

"No matter how good the concubine is, how can there be such a powerful queen. Manzhen, do you miss your eldest sister too?"

Song Manzhen dodged back instinctively, her eyes were so startled that she forgot to blink.

"So, Song Manjun really..."

Chun Shui fluctuated the corner of his mouth and planned to leave.

Song Manzhen grabbed her arm anxiously: "What do you want to do to Song Manjun? You want to avenge her? Then you..."

At this time, the sound of the emperor's arrival resounded throughout the Chongguang Hall, and Song Manzhen held the hand of the emperor's most beloved concubine and did not let go.

"Master An." Seeing that the situation was not good, the officials around him who had dealt with Song Manzhen hurried up to pull the two of them apart, "Master An, let's talk about it later, the emperor is here, hurry up and salute."

Song Manzhen didn't tell Chunshui to let go of his hand, but Chunshui pulled it out first.

"Long live Your Majesty—long live—long live."

The emperor had been looking for Chunshui from the moment he entered the palace, how could he not see the tugging between the two of them.

The emperor sat on his throne without saying a word, and instead of looking at Song Manzhen and the others, he asked Liu Yutang who had already been seated: "Liu Aiqing mentioned that there is a treasure that I will definitely like to present today, but I don't know what treasure it is. .”

Liu Yutang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not in a hurry, after enjoying today's wonderful song and dance, I will definitely offer it to you."

The emperor laughed: "Sure enough, Liu Aiqing still likes to play tricks, okay, let's start, don't make me wait too impatiently. But, Liu Aiqing, do you know that I have high expectations for this treasure, if I am disappointed..."

Liu Yu said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it is definitely the treasure you have been dreaming of."

Song Manzhen didn't know how other people guessed about this treasure, but she already had the answer in her heart.

She knew the result, but she couldn't accept the process.

When she saw with her own eyes the comatose Song Manjun tied up with thick ropes being lifted out of a treasure chest by dancers during the singing and dancing, she did think about rushing up to rescue the eldest sister immediately, but her reason told her not possible.Even though she has practiced martial arts for many years, compared to an ordinary girl, she can fly over eaves and walls, break rocks with one hand, and be placed in a palace full of top masters...

That was the first time Song Manzhen saw Song Manjun in such a mess. Fortunately, Song Manjun is in a coma now, and she doesn't know where she is and how she is being treated. Otherwise, with her proud attitude, how could she endure being a prisoner? ?

The emperor naturally recognized his deadly enemy, Song Manjun, who had been raising troops to overthrow him.It's just that his expression is quite complicated.

Who in the Xia Dynasty didn't know that it was Liu Yutang and Song Manjun who rebelled together to overthrow the dynasty. After Liu Yutang surrendered and Song Manjun fled to the end of the world, the relationship between the two became complicated and confusing.Back then Liu Yutang rebelled and defected to the monarch of the Xia Dynasty. Although high-ranking officials and rich salary enshrined her, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty was probably well known to be wary of her.

This time Liu Yutang handed over Song Manjun to help him get rid of the serious troubles in his heart for many years, so as to win the trust of the emperor...

The emperor's laughter shook the entire Chongguang Palace, and anyone could tell that his laughter was from the heart: "It really is a great gift! Liu Aiqing knows my heart very well! Very good, I accept this treasure, I accept Liu Aiqing's wishes."

"To devote oneself to the country and to solve problems for His Majesty is what a courtier should do." Liu Yutang greeted him with arms, everyone laughed happily and continued singing and dancing.Song Manzhen was sitting in the corner, eyes were full of gorgeous and heavy colors that made people dizzy.The sound of the music stimulated all of Song Manzhen's senses, making her nauseous, and she had no time to care about the dignity of the monarch and ministers, so she ran out secretly.

The moment he came out of the Chongguang Hall, the fresh air and the tranquility of the world locked the vanity behind him like a door. Song Manzhen took a breath with all his strength, but felt numb at the back of his head. fell to the ground.

Fortunately, someone helped her.

"You must do this?" Song Manzhen glared at Chunshui.

Chun Shui was very indifferent: "Up to this point, it's not my karma alone."

"She's my older sister!" Song Manzhen shook Chunshui's arm away, "If you hate our Song family, I'm here. If you want to vent your anger, come at me. I won't dodge or dodge what do you want?" I'll give you anything! But you can't treat my sister..."

"Manzhen." Compared to Song Manzhen's high-pitched emotions, Chunshui's tone is still very low, "All the reasons why I hate your Song family are only Song Manjun. Mother Lu treated me like her own daughter since childhood, even if she is cruel Mu Qing didn't kill her, she died in the Song family, quietly, and when I found her body, I couldn't identify her. She is my only family member, and I let her die quietly...I can't Convince yourself to let her die so tragically, even if you put aside my affairs, I can't let Song Manjun live freely for the sake of Lu's mother!"

"So... what did Song Manjun do to you..." Song Manzhen knew Song Manjun well, and after Jian Zhen left, she was a lunatic and could do anything.Isn't she Song Manzhen the direct reason why Chunshui fell into Song Manjun's hands?She was afraid of facing the truth and didn't want to expose Chunshui's scars, but she still had to ask now.

"Does the truth matter? Are you really okay with telling the truth?"

With the sky full of stars behind Chunshui, this should have been a good night.

In the silence, the answer was clear.

"Manzhen, you always got one thing wrong." Chunshui stepped forward and took Song Manzhen into his arms, "I hate this world, I regret the indifference of human feelings, but you..."

It is the only star, the exclusive warmth, the true love, the person who wants to kill the world and hold it in the palm of his hand.

Just for now I can't hug you all the time.Love and hate must always be separated.

"So, will you kill my sister?" Song Manzhen leaned on Chunshui's shoulder, no longer saying "Song Manjun", but "sister", she didn't know if this was a kind of begging for mercy.

"No." Chun Shui's answer was beyond her expectation at first, but soon there was a new answer, "I will make her life worse than death."

Song Manzhen tried hard to control her emotions, not wanting Chunshui to know that she was crying.

"Then answer my last question. Chun Shui, are you already the emperor's man? Is it part of your plan with Liu Yutang to contribute yourself?"

Unable to see Chunshui's face, Song Manzhen was like a delicate baby yearning for her mother's embrace, tightly curled up between her arms.All the guards are guarding the Chongguang Hall tonight, and no one pays attention to them in the dark.

"My silly Manzhen..." Even if I couldn't see Chunshui's face, I could hear her gentle laughter, "It's like I can still recognize you at a glance if you change your face. And I’m only willing to dedicate myself to you alone.”

Although Song Manjun ruined all of this.
