Eli looked at the confused man and thought about her kindness to the empress. She felt relieved and said, "Esteemed wangfei, you can go. You have to abide by the rules when you see the empress."

She nodded, stood up, and followed the maid out.

The palace maids didn't head in the direction of the Phoenix Landing Palace, but rather in a dilapidated garden behind the Phoenix Landing Palace.

Although she did not say it, she knew clearly in her heart. While she was perplexed, a moving voice that was comparable to heavenly music sounded out, "You are my lover?"

She raised her head and saw Murong Xiu by the pine tree in front of her. The Queen was still dressed as she always was, with a simple hairstyle. She had only tied a bun behind her head and tied it with a wooden plaid.

For some inexplicable reason, Haeru had given Haeru a bun when she first entered the palace — she was imitating Empress Rong's dressing.

Her lover did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she suddenly felt that Houlan was very cute.

It was a kind of infatuation — but why hadn't he married her?

What a pity.

While she was thinking, Rong Xiu leisurely walked in front of her. Her gaze slowly slid down her face and finally landed on her neck.

"Heavenly Mountain Snow Axe Garment?" The elegant and ethereal face slightly changed. Although it was concealed well, the woman still saw the shock and disappointment in Rong Xiu's eyes. "This was given to her by the Carefree King?"

"Ugh." She didn't know if it counted or not. She could only agree, "He put it on me."

She lowered her head and said with an indescribable gentleness, "It seems that the prince has a good relationship with the princess."

"Not bad, he gave me free food and drinks, but he didn't ask me to do anything." Her lover spoke the truth.

As if she had inadvertently touched the smooth fox fur around her neck, she continued to speak, "This armband was originally a gift that the Carefree King intended to give to me for your betrothal. I didn't expect that I would personally wear it for you — as expected, A Xue didn't lie to me, he has already put it down. "My beloved, in the future, you must treat A Xue well."

After reacting for a long time, she finally understood that the 'A Xue' that Rong Xiu said was He Lan Xue.

When she first heard the nickname of He Lan Xue, she felt it was awkward and then she felt it was unusually cute.

A Xue and A Xue were suitable for him.

He Lan Xue had always been like a silly brat – however, although her voice was gentle, her heartfelt blessing was not heard. Instead, there was a faint sour taste in her voice.

Thinking of this, she decided to cover up the rumors for He Lan Xue. "I didn't put it down yet. A Xue has always liked you, Empress Rong."

Murong Xiu raised his head and looked at her, his eyes flashing. "How do you know?"

"You can see it with your eyes." "He was really worried when you were kidnapped that day."

Houlan's fear of losing was still clearly remembered by her. It was deeply influenced by her fear of losing her.

Otherwise, she would not have the courage to hold the blade with her bare hands.

"But after you went missing, he was also worried. Although I am standing outside the Phoenix Landing Palace, who knows where my heart is? " said Soo Soo gruffly.

After the assassination attempt that day, because She Lan Xue was worried about her safety, she stood all night outside the Phoenix Landing Palace. It was not as if she didn't know.

In fact, she had not slept at all throughout the night. She stood on the side of the palace door and looked through the crack in the door at the elegant youth standing outside.

She still remembered that year when she was young and deep within the flowers, He Lan Xue caressed the zither, dancing leisurely on her own with the wind fluttering her sleeves. Flower Descending into the Sea.

At that time, his eyes were so focused, the music was flowing through his fingertips, and there was a smile on his lips.

However, the man who had stood outside the Phoenixcloud Palace that night seemed so uneasy.

Rong Xiu stared at him from where she stood, as well as He Lan Xue, who had been in love with him for more than ten years. Finally, for the sake of another girl, she lost her focus.

That pair of beautiful eyes no longer reflected only her figure.

"Actually, he should have let it go a long time ago. Back then, he didn't fight, but now, what do I hope for? " As if lost in her memories, she spoke again in her sleep.

"He Lan Xue said that it's not that he didn't fight, but that he couldn't win." Although she didn't understand much, she still defended him with good intentions.

"Did he fight?" Rong Xiu looked at her and said with a wry smile, "He knows that I can only be an empress and that we, the Rong family, can only get married to the Tian Family — but he gave the throne to He Lan Chun for nothing. In his heart, what do I count as? " "That day, you should not have saved me. If I had died in front of A Xue, he would have apologized to me for the rest of his life. He would not have moved his feelings, and he would have fallen in love with you!"

Her lover had not expected such a reaction from her and felt bored. She pursed her lips and decided to leave.

However, after walking a few steps, her lover returned.

Her starry eyes, which had always seemed like she was in a deep slumber, were surprisingly bright. She looked at Rong Xiu, her speech clear as she said word by word, "If you really like him. Why would you hold a grudge against him because he doesn't want to fight for you? If you like him, then no matter what he does, you shouldn't abandon him — — But Helian Xue, I'm not sorry, he's not cruel or ambitious enough. If you punish him because of this, then I suspect that you are subconsciously using him from the very beginning to the end. If He Lan Xue wasn't the Prince in the beginning, would you still like him? "

For a long time, she was speechless.

As for the lover, he stupidly turned around and, without the slightest bit of elegance, walked away once more.

Her expression was still muddle-headed, as if what she had said just now was not what she had said at all.

However, after a few steps, she stopped again.

She saw Heran Xue.

She was dressed in snow-white clothes, had a long, jade-like body, and eyes that were as deep as the eyes of He Lan Xue.

She could not understand him, just as he had never understood her.

He Lan Xue walked toward them, brushing past her and walking straight in front of her.

Then he sank to one knee.

Bone knot delicate hand, idly rolled up the long skirt.

Rao Soo lowered her head and stared blankly at the graceful and outstanding Helian Xue. Such a beautiful face, such a gentle yet cold expression.

And she, in the end, was going to lose — this loss was even more profound than the day he had entered the palace.

When She Lan Xue finally stood up and gave her a gentle smile, tears finally flowed down her face.

With her white robe fluttering in the wind, Haeru turned around. She was a person without a speck of dust or any worldly ties.

No — his steps were firm when he left her.

When he came to her, she was still staring at him blankly. She reached out her hand and held her, pulling him away without a word.

Her lover staggered, then staggered after him.

Houlan Xue walked very fast. Swift but calm, he continued to walk without stopping. On the way, he completely ignored the countless palace maids and eunuchs who greeted him. The Elf almost suspected that they had gone from one end of the palace to the other, crossing several courtyards. After passing through many corridors, she finally stopped.

"My beloved, This King has already forgiven you. From now on, you are no longer my wangfei. Once the banquet ends, I will have someone send you home." After waiting for his wife to stabilize herself, he immediately heard these words.

"You don't want me anymore?" the lover asked, blinking in confusion.

He Lan Xue smiled lightly and shook her head. "It's not that I don't want you, I just let you go — you don't like this king, so why do you need to die in this old mansion?"

Her lover answered without hesitation, "Because... You're a big tree, so I'm going to hide under you to enjoy the cool. "

She had to make good use of such a standard food and clothing parent.

He Lan Xue didn't expect her answer. She was honest and cute. She didn't even pretend to like it.

Stunned, he laughed out loud, "Alright, if I don't fall down this tree, I will definitely protect you for the rest of your life."

When he smiled, his lover only felt that his eyes were filled with splendor and flowers that were falling. He Lan Xue's current smile was so beautiful that it made her slightly absent-minded.

Perhaps, he was also a good prototype for a cartoon. she thought.

After a while, she repeated with a little uncertainty, "Are you saying that you are willing to support me for the rest of my life?"

A promise was very important. With this rich man's promise, there was no need to worry about the rest of his life.

"Yes, if I had the ability, I would have raised you for the rest of your life." He Lan Xue looked at her in amusement and whispered, "I'm afraid that this tree will fall soon — at that time, you will have to find another big tree and live your life without any wind or rain. Do you understand?"

"There's no need to look for anything else, I'm determined to find you." Although she was already married to He Lan Xue, she still felt a little unsettled fear in her heart. She was afraid that one day she would be swept out of the house and into the streets.

But now, He Lan Xue had made a promise and contracted her for the rest of her life. How could she not be happy?

"If it wasn't a big tree. Will you also insist on me? " Houlan asked, her eyes gentle. The faint smile on his face was tinged with loneliness.

"Then I'll help you hunt insects and fertilize them. I'll let you bask in the sun every day until you become a big tree again." Yi Ren made up nonsense, afraid that He Lan Xue would go back on her word.

He Lan Xue smiled again. This time, she understood him well.

"In the future, don't say those words to the empress anymore." After pausing for a while, He Lan Xue finally got back to the main topic. "She didn't let me down. It was my fault."

Her lover blinked and said nothing.

He Lan Xue suddenly reached out her hand and ruffled her hair. She then said softly, "Your words will be detrimental to the empress's reputation. The empress is as pure and pure as ice and is completely loyal to His Majesty. To like her is just my personal wish. It doesn't matter what she does, what she says, or what she thinks. The important thing is, everything I do is of my own free will. Do you understand? "

Her lover didn't understand, so she shook her head.

To like the original was a simple matter, so why did everyone make it sound so complicated?

He Lan Xue calmly replied, "Let's go to the banquet."

It was already late in the night, and the setting sun had covered the entire Imperial City.
