——To tell the truth, even from this angle, Kuang Xiqing still looks warm and

    moist, but her beautiful eyes are slightly narrowed, which is rather inhumanly

    cool."...Emperor sister?" As I was lying on the bed with my back, and she was

    sitting on the side of the bed condescendingly looking down, she had an

    advantage in her momentum, taught me to be very passive, and her tone couldn''t

    help but become weaker."These are all memorials to impeach you." After looking at me for a moment,

    she took the lead to look away, pointing to the pile of memorials piled on her

    hand, and said faintly, "I didn''t expect it to be flooded. There is a credit

    to King Ling, huh?"Turning over the memorials according to her instructions, Luo Zhi''s crimes

    were varied, ranging from trivial matters to the big crimes of the Jiu Clan.

    If it were not for the party involved, even I would have believed it true.It''s really hard for these supervisors to take Kuang Xihan off the horse so

    much."Emperor Sister, if I say that these have nothing to do with me, can you

    believe it?" Realizing that there is seemingly no ridicule and teasing in her

    words, it seems that she has no intention of condemning her, I tried to defend

    myself."Han''er said that he hadn''t done it before, that means he hadn''t done it-you

    are my imperial sister, and I naturally believe in you." Kuang Xiqing chuckled

    lightly, slapped the stack of memorials to the ground, and touched mine. Face,

    asked softly, "Are you hungry? I let the small kitchen warm the medicated

    food, can I use some?""Yeah." My stomach sang Kongchengji as early as when I woke up. If it weren''t

    for being frightened by her sudden change of face, the first sentence I spoke

    was to say I was hungry.Put on the shoes, sit down with her at the table, waiting for the female

    officer to arrange the dishes.I drank a small bowl of soup first, cushioned my stomach, and then started to

    move my chopsticks; I remembered to maintain the etiquette during eating,

    although I was very hungry, I slowed down the eating speed, and as much as

    possible " The word "elegance" is attached-but every time I turn my eyes, I

    can see another pair of eyes that are like water, teaching me that my original

    interest has faded like cold water.She placed the table and chopsticks just like me, but she didn''t see her

    moving chopsticks. Instead, she looked at me with interest, her eyes filled

    with shallow soft light, as if I would be satisfied as long as I was full.

    Staring with such gaze, there was a sorrow in a corner of my heart, slight

    but...cannot be ignored.I moved a few more chopsticks, and I was half full. I put down my chopsticks,

    took the silk kerchief handed by the attendant, wiped my mouth, and couldn''t

    help asking, "Why don''t the emperor need some? Why just watch me eat?""No, I''m not hungry." She took the silk kerchief in my hand and wiped my

    cheeks accidentally stained with sauce. The smile on the corner of her mouth

    was as moving as the spring breeze. The medicated diet prepared by the doctor

    for you.""Well, thank you Sister Huang." I held my breath and didn''t smell the scent of

    ambergris on her body, but couldn''t help the heat that came close to her face

    when she talked to me-because she wiped my face, she was very close to me ,

    One hand fixed my chin again, teaching me not to turn my face away, but to

    lower my eyes silently, avoiding the face that was similar to Jiang Zhuo,

    which taught me heartbeat.Sometimes I even get confused, whether it is this face that teaches me to be

    throbbing, or the obsession that Kwong Xihan left behind in my consciousness.As if sensing my resistance, she stepped away a little casually, handed the

    silk kerchief to the female officer next to her, took a sip of the tea cup,

    and asked casually: "Nothing left or right, Han''er might as well be with me.

    Tell me about your experience along the way."——Speaking of experience?I can remember that Jiang Zhuo only mentioned one sentence, and the other

    party immediately glared, obviously not willing to hear related topics; or,

    what prejudice she has against Jiang Zhuo? For what?Can''t figure it out...In order not to irritate her, it is best not to mention Jiang Zhuo''s name

    again, but I have stayed with Jiang Zhuo all along the way, inseparable...

    Moreover, in my heart I always don''t want to lie to her-whether she is right

    Have I deceived.Seeing I hesitate to speak, Kuang Xiqing''s expression instantly turned cold,

    and she put the tea cup in her hand on the table, raised her eyebrows and

    said, "The guardian Jiang that I heard about before, but the one transferred

    to you from the guard? "I couldn''t figure out what she meant to say stubbornly. I could only nod my

    head, but the alarm bell sounded in my heart."Han''er to her... is different," Kuang Xiqing''s voice is floating and quiet,

    her voice is still soft and gentle, but she taught me a cold sweat oozes from

    behind, "I originally thought that she would not survive three days-- It’s the

    same as any other plaything you’ve seen."——Can you not live for three days?Also, other playthings... It took me a while to understand what Kwong Xiqing

    meant, but I wanted to be kept in the dark and couldn''t understand her

    suggestion.Calculating this way, I don''t know how much blood debt Kuang Xihan has on his

    hands.Although I have long understood the obscenity of the original body, I have

    been pointed out so bluntly that I have always taught me the emperor sister

    who cares so much. This feeling is definitely not a simple "sad" word that can

    be summarized.I can''t tell whether the sorrow that soars in my heart is due to Kuang

    Xiqing''s already aware of her absurd past, or that she has let the past go and

    never intervenes-not intervening often means...don''t care."I didn''t treat her as a plaything, she was...different," thinking of the

    gentle color that occasionally revealed to me on that cold face, the corners

    of her mouth couldn''t stop the upward arc--I think Jiang Zhuo should care.

    Mine, although most of the time she acted more like disgusting me and ignoring

    me; but I know that it was because of Kwong Xihan in the past, not the current

    me — suddenly regained consciousness, facing Shang Kuang Xiqing’s meaningful

    gaze , Taught me a horror, and quickly added disguisedly, "After all, she has

    saved me so many times.""Is it just because she saved you?" It was just a moment, and Kuang Xiqing''s

    face wore a soft smile, as if she was simply curious about the answer to the

    question, and the coldness had never appeared before."Naturally." I nodded decisively, and I stared directly at her, for fear of

    teaching her the slightest clue."It was because I was worried, and Han''er understands it best." She curled her

    lips, stretched out her hand to straighten my temples, and said casually, "You

    are approaching the age of Shao Li. It''s time to marry a regular husband.

    ——Some people, some things, just have fun, don’t take it seriously and forget

    your identity."After speaking, without waiting for me to reply, he turned and left.Leaving me frozen in place, silently digesting the meaning of her words.——How did I forget that in this world where women are superior to men and men

    are inferior to men, women always marry Zhenghu after they reach adulthood.As a dignified prince, Kuang Xihan is no exception.She can point it out now, is she trying to remind me? Could it be that she was

    aware of my thoughts on Jiang Zhuo?But, it doesn''t make sense...I''m not so obvious yet, am I?Is that a warning? Warn me to constrain in my work, obediently be a dandy

    clan, idle prince, don''t you want to have ambitions that I shouldn''t have?Alas, I hate guessing!Scratching my hair upset, I rushed back to the bed and fell asleep.When I woke up again, the room was quietly silent, no human voices, no

    shadows, only the candle shadows on both sides dangling, silently accompanied.I''ve been in the palace long enough, and it''s time to return home.I yelled someone to come in and explained what I wanted to do, but when the

    female officer told me that it was past the door, the palace gate had a key,

    and no one was allowed to enter or leave.——Since this is the case, why doesn’t it wake me up when the hour comes?I slandered in my heart, although I was unhappy, after all, I didn''t get angry

    at her... She was also innocent, so why bother to anger her.Seeing my ugly complexion, the female officer told me again: Kuang Xiqing was

    staying with the imperial husband tonight, and ordered me to stay in her

    bedroom and rest for one night, and then leave the palace tomorrow morning.I politely rejected the female officer''s kindness to give me a meal. I looked

    at the sky and sent her out. I went back to the bed. I don’t know if I slept

    too long earlier, but at night, I lost my sleep. .I tossed in the bed filled with soothing incense, sweating from my tossing

    forehead, but I became more and more energetic.Reluctantly sat up, put on an outer cloak, and opened the door.The watchman outside the door saw me pushing the door, and suddenly awakened

    from my sleepy doze, and cautiously saluted: "What''s your command?""This king can''t sleep, come out and walk around." Passing him, I wandered

    towards the side of the corridor."Your Majesty!" He was so frightened, but he just followed me with small

    steps, trying to persuade me to go back to the room, but his tongue was

    knotted and he couldn''t speak-I only swept away with a cold eye, and he cried

    and fell silent. , Did not dare to speak any more, did not even dare to look

    up at me.Nodding satisfied, skipped him and walked forward.Want to come to Kuang Xihan is also very powerful in this harem, these

    ordinary attendants see more scenes of her sending people off, and I don''t

    have to worry about it and I am shocked.Although I could feel that a few guards besides him were also following far

    behind, I didn''t care about it—after all, they were just abiding by their

    duties.And knowing that someone is behind to protect my safety, in this pitch-black

    night, I can walk around without fear.The moonlight is boundless, the night is as cool as water, and everything is

    in silence, as if I alone are still awake, wandering in the cold and quiet

    harem. There is a small palace lantern hung every some distance under the

    corridor, and the shimmering light emitted is enough to illuminate the

    surroundings, and it is a different scene from the day.I walked aimlessly, and unconsciously came to a familiar garden; that rockery

    is still the same as when I came last time, covered with verdant, green bamboo

    like a shadow, and occasionally there are night insects. , It was even more

    cold and quiet-when I came last time, Jiang Zhuo was with him.Oh, yes, I also met that inexplicable noble monarch afterwards... Memories

    flooded, and when I thought of Jiang Zhuo, I smiled unconsciously, but when I

    thought of the noble monarch I was involved in, I suddenly felt sad, while

    thinking, footsteps Gradually stepped into the depths of the rockery."His Royal Highness?" If it hadn''t been for him to speak out, I would almost

    have forgotten the attendant who had been following behind.Looking back at him coldly, I lowered my voice and frightened him: "Wait for

    this king here, don''t follow, otherwise...you should know this king''s temper.""Yes, yes." Sure enough, he was so frightened that he bowed and saluted, never

    daring to lift his steps again.Seeing him so scared, I can''t help but feel a little guilty. Seeing his

    appearance is just a teenager, am I being too harsh on him?After going back for a while, reward him with some snacks to save him from

    being on duty, let him go to rest... even a little compensation.After making up my mind, I stopped paying attention to him, and continued to

    walk sideways toward the depths of the rockery.On a whim, I deliberately returned to the rockery to see if it was still the

    same. I followed the route in my memory, turning left and right, and found the

    end in a short while.A few steps away from the exit, I heard someone talking vaguely, and I was

    vigilant, but I couldn''t help being curious. I stood behind the rockery and

    listened attentively-the voice sounded like Jiang Zhuo!
