C185

Her Majesty came with great dignity. The long corridor was filled with people kneeling, and I was kneeling at the door to receive her. She entered and sat at the head of the table.

I stepped forward and bowed. "Your servant greets the empress dowager for a thousand years."

As soon as she heard that, her beautiful face, which had once been in the past, lit up with a smile that could barely be seen, with some pride and some disdain, but which she concealed so calmly that she did not look at me, but instead said, "Who's in charge here?"

No one said anything, so I added, "In reply to Her Majesty's words, she is currently a servant."

Then she looked at me and said, "Aren't you Yun Zhiqiu? Do you think that you can sneak in to the Cold Palace to hide poison? "

"Yes, that's me."

That matter wasn't made public. Those who knew were all the Emperor's trusted aides. Others only knew that the things on the surface, which was what he said, were the secrets of my poison.

"How did you get out of the cold palace?"

"To reply to the empress dowager, the empress is currently pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to take care of the First Prince. The emperor remembers that this servant used to take care of the Grand Prince, so he sent this servant out of the cold palace to serve the eldest prince." I didn't say a word about the baby.

Her Majesty really knew how to pretend. It was as if she hadn't moved the people who wanted to kill me. Her face was so indifferent and merciful, but if she wanted to kill a person, it would just be a matter of words.

She looked at me, and there was deep hatred in her eyes, and I did not understand why it was so, but I thought that the hatred in her eyes was not that I had been favored by the Emperor because my identity was too plain, but that it was so deep, so deep, that I could not see it clearly.

"Is there no one else in the palace?" She snorted.

No one made a sound, so how could there not be anyone within the palace? Even if there weren't any suitable people within the palace, there were many people outside. It was mainly based on the Emperor's heart.

"You, I saw through you early on. Your thoughts weren't in the palace, yet you were luring the Emperor, plotting something in your heart."

I didn't say anything, I wasn't thinking about the palace. That was true.

But wouldn't it be great if you could help Xia Juntang and me? Well, I can't think about it, I can't think about it, it's over, and if he knew, the pain in his heart might be even worse.

I don't know why I didn't want to hurt him now, if I could see the deep, sensitive pain in his heart, and he was so close that I could see it and feel it.

Xia Junxiang was too far away and had already lost, so the emperor didn't pursue the matter.

"Your servant will take good care of your eldest son."

"It isn't impossible for This Dowager to hand over her eldest son to someone like you. The empress is pregnant and within a few months of that, she will bear Lin'er for the harem." She didn't continue speaking, but there was a complacent smile in her eyes. I think I also know why Her Majesty was taken care of by me. In her opinion, I am now a lowly person with a criminal record. If I take care of her, then it can be said that I am not really valued, and if the Empress is born, then she will naturally become the Crown Prince, the next Emperor.

I hate to think too fast. I can't think of these things.

The empress dowager then continued, "Even if it was the emperor's decision, the empress wouldn't give you face if she pleaded for mercy on your behalf, but you'd still have to give them face. You took good care of the emperor's son, and if anything happened, even if a lowly woman like you had to exterminate nine clans, it wouldn't be worth it."

"Yes, Esteemed Empress Dowager."

He came out of the door, and stood trembling a little. He looked at me with his black eyes, and then he chuckled.

The empress dowager's eyes grew gentler as her voice softened. "Xu, come to the empress dowager's place."

I was afraid he would fall, but when I came between me and Her Majesty, he looked at me, rushed so fast, rushed into my arms, and laughed triumphantly.

I knelt on the ground and ruffled his hair. It was amazing how he had learned to walk at such a young age, and how to say things, but he did not know, because his unborn brother was now abandoned. If he could be as open-minded as Jun Tang, he wouldn't feel sad at all.

The empress dowager's face fell. A palace maid came to hug him and held his hand as she led him to the empress dowager's side. The empress dowager stroked his hand and gently coaxed, "Xu, call me grandma."

Whether it was real or not, she still coaxed him with a little patience.

Her Majesty didn't know. Actually, the Emperor wanted to train Xu. He had said that whoever was smart enough to do so would have something to do in the future.

This sort of gentleness would probably not be seen sincerely from her face in the future.

After a while she returned to the palace, and from beginning to end I remained on my knees until she left, rubbing my aching knees and sighing on the floor.

Don't think too much about it. Even the empress is hurting her brain because of me? Unfortunately, I couldn't see any guilt on Her Majesty's face, as if she didn't know about the murder of me. Had the Emperor never mentioned it? Family love was also a bit more important. It couldn't be broken.

Carrying Xu, he happily jumped up and asked me to play with him. It was just that I stood away from him and let him slowly come over and throw himself into my arms. He was very fond of this kind of happiness.

Picking him up, he even wisely learned to kiss my face, it's so sweet in my heart.

Fine, I won't ask for anything else in my life. This kind of relationship is enough for me to enjoy.

When the emperor came in and saw me kissing her, his eyes showed some displeasure, but he still raised his voice and asked, "Did the empress dowager say anything?"

"In reply to the emperor, the empress dowager said that this servant will take good care of the eldest prince."

He gave me an increasingly resentful look, as if dissatisfied with my answer.

He sat down, and his father-in-law washed his face and wiped the tea from his hands. The man in his arms blinked his beautiful eyes at him, and then snuggled into my arms.

"Your majesty, it's time to change the medicine." Eunuch Chen reminded him with all his heart.

He looked at me and I hugged him and stood up. "Your majesty, then your servant will leave first."

"Nanny." He coldly snorted and shouted, "Change the medicine for me."

Is there a nurse? Is there? I looked left and right and found that all eyes were on me. What grief.

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes as he said, "Eunuch Chen, apply the medicine."

After offering it to the medicine palace maids, he calmly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing?" He took off the gauze and saw that his hands were almost healed. Young people really recover fast. Ai, I feel that I'm really getting old.

"Are you angry with me? Do you hate me for not stopping the empress dowager in Zhenghua Palace?"

I smiled gently and shook my head. "No, I'm just playing with you."

He liked it so much that I didn't think of him as the emperor. It was a kind of loneliness after the magnificence.

A smile appeared on his face. He looked at me as I changed the medicine before raising his eyebrows and saying, "I'll apply the medicine for you!"

"What medicine did I apply? I'm fine?" I didn't break my hand.

"The wound on your shoulder."

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt anymore." If it hurts, I can pick up two little people.

"I want to see." He was being a bit unreasonable.

I smiled slyly. "We'll see what's the use of it. Otherwise, if you bite your shoulder, you'll know what pain is." This was what they called empathy.

He smiled back and pulled me to sit on his feet, rolled my hair with one hand, and kept it up, his chin on my shoulder, murmuring softly, "This is great, Koguchi, let's not fight, we don't fight, we don't split up, you don't have to think about anything else, I'll be good to you for the rest of my life, just this kind of good, to you alone."

My heart ached again. His feelings were actually very heavy.

I nodded heavily. "I won't think of anything else."

"You promise, you swear." He turned my face and looked at me very seriously.

Sighing in my heart, I raised my hand. "I, Yun Zhiqiu, swear that I will never leave the emperor."

"That won't do." He firmly said, "I am not the only Emperor in this world. There will be more of them in the future. You must swear not to leave me, I, Xia Junlan, the one who won against Lan Jun."

This was his name. After so long, this was the first time he told someone his name. It wasn't the Emperor, but a man.

I can feel the desire in his heart: I, Yun Zhiqiu, swear that I will never leave Xia Junlan.

His smile was gentle, and his entire person seemed to heave a sigh of relief as he rubbed my face: "I can forget the past in my heart, but you have to take good care of me, and love and protect me. I won't let you lose your life from the cycle of reincarnation, then, where would I find you in my next life?"

His hand, gently caressing mine, was so warm and gentle.

Everything that happened before could be taken as though it had never happened. Your Majesty, do you really love me too much?

He kissed her lightly on the cheek. The calmness and comfort brought back the complex feelings in his heart. I can't get out of this palace, protect one, can be counted as one, once touched man, also once cold, he asked me to burn again for him.

I turned my head, and he bit me hard on the shoulder. He did not speak, nor did he cry out in pain, but only hugged my waist tightly, and when I leaned weakly against his shoulder, he said lightly, "This is good, you have my mark on your shoulder, I have yours, what could be deeper than this? I have not experienced anything with you. Don't laugh at me, I think this is the deepest thing. "

I listened to him in silence, and his heart flapped like a wing.

"Wow, wow." The little person that was sleeping inside began to cry loudly.

He said unhappily, "That's a nasty sound. When did she ever cry like that?"

"I'll go take a look." I pulled his hand away.

But he refused to let go. "Where's the nanny? Can you really feed it? "

His words made my face redden with shame. "You really aren't serious. Your baby has only eaten milk for three or four months. Jun Lan, let me go and carry her. She has just arrived at a strange place. If it was anyone else, she would be very uneasy."

In the end, he released me and sighed lightly. "If you were so attentive to me, then I wouldn't …"

"Jun Lan." I cried softly.

He smiled. "Fine, I'll go. It's annoying."

When he calls his name, he will be happy, he will care about nothing, and the Emperor will be an ordinary man.

I went in and carried the baby out, crying miserably, my small face was full of tears, I picked her up, she wanted to wrap her feet around me.

"Zhiqiu, you carry two tiredness each, let the wet nurse take her slowly. It's good as long as you get used to it."

I smiled. "No, I'm not tired, really."

He raised his eyebrows. "Oh, I'm not tired. I'll wait for you then."

What do you mean, I stared at him, coaxing the baby not to cry, changing her pants and feeding her some milk stuff. She stopped very quickly, but she still held on to me and looked around.

I insisted on taking her out of the cold palace, so I wouldn't leave her.

It would be difficult for her to bring him along, but she would slowly recover. When she fell asleep, Eunuch Chen said, "Miss Yun, the emperor is waiting for you in the study."

In his hands was a set of clothes. I don't know if he wanted me to sleep with him, but it didn't look like it.

Only after changing did I realize that the clothes were rather loose, and the palace maid came over to help me loosen my simple hair, without wearing any pearl flowers.

When he arrived at the entrance of the study, he found out what he was trying to do. He was dressed in a full set of clothes and exuding a brilliant and powerful lantern light, and when he saw me coming, he twisted his ankle and said, "This Emperor knows that you're quite energetic. This Emperor also knows that he should come and run with me.

"Do you really want to run?" I felt a little weak. After leading a child for an entire day, it was either this one who was crying or the other one who was hugging me to play. It was indeed very tiring.

"It's fine if you don't run." He turned his head and touched my face.

"Sigh, let's just run." I understand the meaning behind his words, and it's not like I don't know anything, it's the same as before, but now I'm not ready yet, it's really hard to put it down, I just don't want him to get hurt like that, I just want to make it up.

Even if he could see through it, he wouldn't be deliberately cold to me. I learned how to disguise myself, and he learned how to choose to look at something instead of looking at it.

Standing on the same ground and then running along the long corridor, men and women ran at different speeds, but he ran slowly, urging me to run faster, panting with fatigue, grabbing at his clothes to drag me along.

"You scoundrel." He turned around and smiled. He took my hand in his right hand and led me into the garden. I hugged my stomach and shouted, "I can't take it anymore. I'm exhausted. Jun Lan, spare me. You can run by yourself."

He let go of my hand, and I lay down on the grass to catch my breath, and he ran hard, ran to the end, and then came back again, and fell beside me, breathing hard.

"The stars are beautiful." he gasped.

When I turned to look at him, I saw that there were little stars shining in the corners of his eyes. The stars were beautiful, but why was he crying?

He put his hand on the top of my eye, not letting me look, and said softly, "The stars are beautiful, Keng Qiu."

I know it's beautiful, but what are you sad about?

Bewildered, I whispered, "Jun Lan."

"Yes." He smiled and let go of his hand that was covering my eyes. "I like it when you call me by my name. In the future, when there is no one around, you can only call me by my name."
