It was daybreak when Shen Zhiqiao woke up.

The moment I saw the familiar hall, my mind was blank.

Turning her eyes mechanically, Shen Zhiqiao sat stunned from the couch and her eyes fell on the dresser. She slowly got down and walked to the front of the stage. Her naked body with spots and red marks appeared in the copper mirror of the dresser.

The memory of last night came into my mind like a flood. The man fiercely wanted her body, regardless of her begging for mercy. She didn't remember when he let her go at last.

Fingertips brushed the collarbone with red flowers, but I saw something other than the Buddha beads on my wrist in the mirror.

His eyes shook slightly, he put his hand across his chest, looked down at the transparent and crystal bead chain on his wrist, and looked a little numb.

The shape of the beads on the double bead chain is not round, but heart-shaped artful stones ground like Acacia beans. Acacia particles are right next to each other, which seems to make her skin more bloody.

She stared at the bead chain on her wrist without blinking.

The poem "Acacia" by the great poet Wang Wei came to mind involuntarily:

Red beans are born in southern China, and several branches are sent in spring. May you gather more. This thing is the most lovesick.

Red bean, red bean, always has the meaning of Acacia. It often implies that the feelings are firm and lasting

After Tuoba retreated from the dynasty, he came to Longqi palace.

As soon as I opened the door of the inner room, I saw her standing naked with her back to him.

Feng Mou suddenly shrunk. Feng Mou looked at her beautiful back without concealing the heat.

A long silk is scattered on the beautiful back, but it still can't hide the beautiful mark left by his love.

The heart reads a move, Tuoba Royal backhand closes the door, comes forward, hands pass through her armpit, chest clings to her back, chin lightly rests on the hair of her shawl, eyes just fall on the red Zhu of her raised hands, thin lips kiss on her shoulder, and her voice is low, "this is a gift from Nanzhao state to congratulate me on my acceptance, and call each other to stay."

He liked the name, so he kept it.

Stay together?!

Shen Zhiqiao's heart jumped, and he was alert to being held by him naked. He was very uncomfortable. He earned his body slightly, and his tone dodged, "you, you're down..."

"HMM." Tuoba Yu frowned unhappily and simply turned her over to face him. His eyes flashed a red when he saw that she was pressed by his chest.

In his mind, he stretched out his hand and gently grasped the softness on one side of her, holding it for a while. "There are a pair of children together. According to the envoy of Nanzhao state, there are lovers with a string of hands, which means to stay together for life and never give up."... "Shen Zhiqiao paused to stop the movement of his hand, and then took his hand and pulled it down," isn't it? "

Her expression is not cold, even a little evasive.

As soon as Tuoba's thin lips closed, he simply held her blocking hand and raised it. His cuffs slid down because of the movement of his hand, revealing the bead chain of the same style as her on his wrist. Feng's eyes stared at her from the side. "Now you and I will wear this pair together. In other words, can we stay together for a lifetime and never separate?"

What he wanted to know was that he and she wore this thing, which proved his determination to be with her. Now, what he wanted to know was her determination?!

Shen Zhiqiao was flustered, but his eyes were on the two strings of glittering Acacia beans under their hands.

She was not unaware of his intention.

But now she really doesn't know how to answer him.

She is... Not who she was.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Tuoba Yufeng's pupil was dark. He held her hand but grasped it all at once. Then he relaxed bit by bit and gently held all her little hands in his heart.

After a while, he released his hand, left her, went to the edge of the bed, grabbed the clothes already prepared for her, came over, dressed her carefully, and then took her hand and went out.

Shen Zhi's Qiao was stunned and asked, "Tuoba Yu, where are we going?"

"Shouyang palace!"

Shouyang palace?!

Shen Zhiqiao widened his eyes slightly and looked at his side face, "go to Shouyang palace? What's the matter with going to Shouyang palace?!"

Tuoba imperial pursed his lips, "you'll know when you go."

He doesn't know exactly what happened now.

He also met the eunuch from Shouyang Palace on the palace road of huilongqi palace in the next Dynasty. He only said that grandma Huang had something important to tell him, but he didn't mention anything.

"...." Shen Zhiqiao frowned and was silent.

Tuoba Yu glanced at her, took her hand and kneaded it, "I'm here..."

Shen Zhiqiao still had some doubts in his heart, but he answered softly, "HMM."

……

Shouyang palace.

The Empress Dowager was sitting on a high position in a brown green robe today. Although she had a smile on her face, a pair of Rui eyes full of fine lines were calm. She held the hand of the person sitting next to her in a gentle tone. "Lan'er, your face looks haggard. You should pay more attention to rest."

Wen Xinlan stayed in the Zhaohui palace all night. After learning from Lou Lanjun that Lian Qing couldn't wake up for a while, she returned to Wenning palace. She didn't want to be called to Shouyang Palace by a confidant of the Empress Dowager before she arrived at Wenning palace.

If you don't sleep all night, you can't expect any good state.

Wen Xinlan's heart turned and decided what to do. There was a touch of sadness in his eyes. He also looked sad and bitter. The corners of his mouth were bitter. "Grandma Huang, Lan'er is very good. You and Yu are the only ones. You should pay more attention to your body."

Obviously, Tuoba Yu was not in the hall at this time, but she deliberately mentioned it, and her heart can be seen.

The Empress Dowager naturally understands her mind, but it's a pity

With a slight sigh, he patted her arm, "Lan'er, there are many good men in the world. With Lan'er's virtue and beauty, he will be able to marry Hao'er lang. he is wholehearted to Lan'er and will be the same all his life."

"..." Wen Xinlan's heart tightened, her eyes shrunk nervously, biting her lips and looking at the empress dowager, "grandma Huang, I......"

"Lan'er, the Empress Dowager suddenly interrupted her and suddenly mentioned Lian Qing. Wen Xinlan was shocked," grandma Huang, Lian Qing is right for you... "

"Lan'er, Lian Qing is the grandson of AI family after all." the Empress Dowager interrupted her words again.

And even if she doesn't listen to what she wants to say, she can know what she thinks.

Even Qing hates her, she can't stop it.

Although she doesn't favor Lian Qing, she is also a descendant of Tuoba family, connected by blood.

More importantly, Lian Qing took the initiative to find her in Shouyang palace yesterday and had a frank and frank chat with her

And his purpose is very clear, that is, he wants her to marry him and Lan'er.

In her private heart, she thought that Lan'er's final destination was yu'er, and she also wanted to help her sit on the throne of Queen.

But when she was old and had limited energy, she felt unable to do what she wanted.

She looked at her royal son's special love and sole favor for the woman. After five years, she almost disappeared the love between her and his grandparents and grandchildren.

Now, the woman is the queen, and gave her two lovely children to the Tuoba family.

She has no reason to object and doesn't want to object any more.

In fact, she was determined to accept the woman under the daily visit of two lovely little guys.

So when Lian Qing asked her to give Lan'er to him, she agreed without too much hesitation.

At the moment she promised Lian Qing, she saw relief and unprecedented gratitude in his eyes.

For a moment, she seemed to feel his hatred for her quietly put down.

Moreover, her heart also stretched a lot for him not to hate, and there was an idea that she wanted to hurt him well.

Apart from others, even those bad experiences were mostly caused by her, and she was always ashamed of the child.

Therefore, if Lan'er marries him, she can not only comfort her spiritual senior brother, but also make the child feel comfortable. She looks forward to the marriage.

Wen Xinlan's mind is exquisite. She knows her plan in her words.

She shook her head and nervously held her hand. "Grandma Huang, Yu is the only man Lan'er has ever loved. No matter how good others are, they are not him after all..."

The Empress Dowager's cheeks sank slightly, and her voice became cold. "Lan'er, I didn't repeat what happened eight years ago. The AI family only asked you. If yu'er is not an emperor now, but an ordinary people, would you say something like this?"

She chose to forget what happened eight years ago, not because she didn't mind, but promised her elder martial brother to be kind to her and treat her well.

She owes her elder martial brother and

That's why she doesn't care about what she did eight years ago.

The best she can think of is to help her to the most precious position in the world, the queen.

But now yu'er obviously won't accept her again.

For her promise, even Qing's love for her is well known. She believes that under the current situation, her marriage to even Qing is undoubtedly the best choice.

Wen Xinlan's face turned white, and her lips wriggled, speechless. In the final analysis, or her previous things can not be forgiven by everyone, so now she doesn't deserve the favor of that man?!

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to sigh, "Lan'er, the most important thing in a woman's life is not how noble her identity is. What's important is that there is a good man who cherishes your life, a good husband, and Lian Qing's heart for you. I believe that if grandma Huang doesn't say it, your heart is also clear. If you marry him, he will treat you."
