The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

"My queen, please don't sit here. I feel bad for you. You haven't eaten for a day. What if you get hungry?" The soothing voice with a slight cry seemed to come from the horizon, so illusory and unreal.

In the Qifeng Pavilion, Shen Xiaoyue sat blankly by the window, her bright and generous face covered with a layer of sadness and haggardness. She no longer had the bright and charming beauty and pride. She was like a peony after being hit by a rainstorm. The color was still there, but the brightness was gone.

Seeing Shen Xiaoyue's soul-destroying appearance, her personal maid was very worried, distressed and worried, but she was just a maid. There was really no way to make Shen Xiaoyue not so sad, so she could only worry.

Ever since the news of Concubine Rou's pregnancy spread throughout the harem, the queen looked like this, sitting blankly by the window, not eating or drinking, not sleeping, and looking like she was greatly stimulated.

But if she was sad, they didn't see her crying. Sometimes she even sighed softly, and the light in her slightly upturned phoenix eyes was not pain, but disappointment and relief.

She seemed to be sad about Concubine Rou's pregnancy, and it seemed that her thoughts were floating in the clouds, floating lightly without a landing point. No one knew why she was like this and why she was sad.

The two maids Shen Xiaoyue brought into the palace had served Shen Xiaoyue since they were young. They had seen their young lady riding horses and whipping in the windy and sandy land in the northwest, galloping on horses under the scorching sun, with a smile as bright as the sun, gorgeous and dazzling.

They also saw Shen Xiaoyue wielding swords and swords, and occasionally fighting with her brother in the early morning when practicing martial arts, and fighting fiercely and evenly, with a long spear in her hand as stunning as a flying swan, and the shadows of the spears formed a forest when dancing, which was extremely dazzling.

But they had never seen Shen Xiaoyue so lost and sad, so inevitably, these two maids who were most loyal to Shen Xiaoyue were full of resentment and complaints towards Yan Junxian.

Shen Xiaoyue always felt that she was in a daze, and her mind seemed to be filled with many messy thoughts. She was surprised that Roupin was pregnant, angry about Yan Junxian's deception, and sad that he didn't love her.

In fact, Shen Xiaoyue herself didn't know what she was sad about, whether it was because Yan Junxian had been deceiving him, or because of... the person who claimed to be Yan Junxian's substitute.

Shen Xiaoyue didn't even know his real name, or how much time he had spent with her during those days, and how much he felt for her.

But she couldn't help thinking, if he really replaced Yan Junxian as the emperor, what would happen between them? He said that she could leave the palace and marry again. But Shen Xiaoyue was not sure whether leaving the palace and marrying again was the best choice for her.

Regardless of whether those people would look at her with prejudice after she left the palace, or whether she could find a man she liked, just Yan Junxian and the man whose name she didn't know were enough to make Shen Xiaoyue hesitate.

She really liked Yan Junxian when she entered the palace. When Yan Junxian ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, she was only thirteen. At that time, Shen Xiaoyue, who was in her prime, had a ray of love for Yan Junxian, so she insisted on entering the palace despite the opposition of her father and brother.

After entering the palace, Yan Junxian's gentleness, thoughtfulness and love for her made Shen Xiaoyue love him more and more. If her love for Yan Junxian was as light as duckweed and catkins at the beginning, then she really had deep feelings for Yan Junxian in the day-to-day interactions.

But now someone told her that she faced two Yan Junxians in this year. The real one was a false favor to her, and his heart was full of impatience and dislike for her. And the fake one was the one who was infinitely gentle and considerate to her.

If so, who is the person she is deeply in love with? Is it the young emperor who moved her at the beginning, or the "stand-in" who has been cuddling with her for this year? Shen Xiaoyue felt very confused. She couldn't figure it out, and couldn't sort out this mess.

Roupin was pregnant, and Shen Xiaoyue felt infinitely sad. She also understood that Yan Junxian's words "You are still young and it is not suitable for you to be pregnant" were just a lie to her. He just didn't want to get close to her.

But after learning that Roupin was pregnant, even Shen Xiaoyue herself couldn't figure out whether she was sad and disappointed because Yan Junxian had deceived her again and again, or because he had confined her and never seen her in these days.

Shen Xiaoyue has never been a person with a delicate mind. At this time, she still couldn't tell who she loved and thought of in her heart. Her heart was originally a mess, and Roupin's pregnancy exacerbated her wild thoughts.

"My lady, the young master is here to see you." Just as Shen Xiaoyue pursed her lips and was distracted, her personal maid suddenly walked in quickly, leaned close to her ear with a look of surprise and whispered.

Shen Xiaoyue was startled, and when she came to her senses, she couldn't help but frowned: "My second brother has ventured into the palace again? Last time he sneaked into the palace to see me at night, I was scared and couldn't sleep for several days, for fear that he would be discovered. Why is he so bold today?"

Since Shen Xiaoyue accidentally ruined the face of Li Mingxue, the concubine of Rou, she was confined to Qifeng Pavilion by Xuanyuan and knew nothing about the outside world. Now that she knew that Shen Tiange had entered the palace again, she was really angry and anxious.

Unlike her eldest brother who was always calm and solemn, her second brother Shen Tiange has always been so free and unrestrained, lazy and uninhibited, and even more willful than her. He really can do anything, how can she not be frightened and worried.

Shen Xiaoyue's beautiful eyes suddenly lifted up, swept over her two personal maids, frowned and asked: "Did you tell my second brother about my affairs?"

She was afraid that the two maids would worry about her, so she anxiously spread the news that she was haggard and sad to Shen Tiange, so he rashly entered the palace to see her again. If that were the case, she would be the one who harmed her second brother. If Shen Tiange angered Tianyan because of this matter, Shen Xiaoyue would never be able to forgive herself.

Shen Xiaoyue's two personal maids looked at each other, both of them confused: "My Lady, I didn't spread the news out of the palace, let alone deliver it to the young master."

Shen Xiaoyue was banned, and there were no exceptions for the palace servants like them. They had not been able to leave the Qifeng Pavilion for these days. Their food was brought into the palace by the palace staff every day. No one from the upper or lower Qifeng Pavilion was allowed to leave the palace. Not to mention sending any news.

Fortunately, although His Majesty banned the empress, she was not harsh in her daily life. Concubine Hui, who ruled the Sixth Palace, did not interfere with her status.

"Your Majesty, the second young master did not come quietly, he came here wearing the armor of a palace guard." Another maid shook her head slightly and said, "I think the second young master came to visit your Majesty at your Majesty's insistence, and did not enter the palace privately. "

Shen Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, felt relieved, and couldn't help but nodded: "In that case, please invite the second brother in." Shen Xiaoyue took care of herself casually, finally making her look less haggard, and then left the inner room. Go see Shen Tiange.

After arriving in the outer room, she saw that Shen Tiange was tall and elegant in silver armor. He was not wearing night clothes when he sneaked into the palace before. She breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Second brother, why did you enter the palace and become a guard?" , It really scared me to death.”

Shen Tiange smiled at first, and then saw Shen Xiaoyue's haggard expression. The smile disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh softly. He was indeed thinking to himself that his sister was indeed not suitable to stay in the palace anymore. He calmed down and told Shen Xiaoyue what happened and his thoughts during this period.

Shen Xiaoyue was worried and frightened when she first heard that Shen Tiange had been caught secretly entering the palace last time; and when she heard that he admired His Majesty for his diligence and love for the people, Shen Xiaoyue felt a pride that she didn't even understand.

In the end, Shen Tiange secretly advised her to leave the palace and remarry. Shen Xiaoyue was shocked and stared at her brother with beautiful eyes: "Your Majesty, did he tell you about this?"

Shen Tiange nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has made it clear to me. Sister, you are wasting your time staying in the palace. It is better to leave the palace! You will always find your right husband in the future."

Shen Xiaoyue looked complicated, lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Shen Tiange couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Sister, these days, I have been guarding your Majesty's bodyguard. From what I have seen, your Majesty is not someone who indulges in the love of his children. He cannot give you what you want. Now that His Majesty has asked you to leave the palace, don’t miss this opportunity.”

Seeing that Shen Xiaoyue still refused to agree, Shen Tiange felt pain in his heart. He couldn't bear to see her so obsessed, so he said cruelly: "Do you know that just because you are from the Shen family, His Majesty will never let you have an heir. "

Shen Xiaoyue trembled all over, pursed her lips, her lips trembled slightly, and her face turned pale. She didn't know some things in her heart, but it was completely different between her not taking the initiative to point out her dowry and someone pointing it out.

Lowering his eyes, Shen Xiaoyue said with a touch of bitterness: "Second brother, I understand, I will think about it carefully."

"That's good, you must not get into trouble. Although His Majesty is good, he is not your lover." Shen Tiange sighed softly, raised his hand and touched Shen Xiaoyue's head, his tone was full of tenderness.

Shen Xiaoyue pursed her lips, her expression was solemn, and her voice was very soft: "I know."
