Can’t Let Go

Things in the harem have always been the subject of daily discussion among the concubines.

Concubine Su was called to account by His Majesty because she beat Qi Meiren's maid.

At this moment, he is kneeling in Longhua Hall.

Everyone is disdainful, what kind of concubine is the most beloved concubine? However, Er Er, a thing like Qi Meiren, destroyed her. It seems that the rumors are mostly false.

From then on, no one was really afraid of Su Jiuer.

In this harem, without His Majesty's favor, there is nothing!

The sky was getting darker, and the August night wind was already a bit chilly.

After Qingzhi learned the news, she was about to deliver food to Su Jiuer. Unexpectedly, Qi Meiren was staring at her and immediately stopped her, preventing her from secretly delivering food to Su Jiuer.

Qingzhi was so anxious that she turned around and went to Yan Yunxiao's Yinhua Palace to plead for mercy.

The decoration in Yinhua Hall is in toned down cold tones. At first glance, this hall seems lifeless, and every object in it has a rather depressing tone.

For example, dark brown bead curtains, light gray curtains, and black carpets.

All of this gives people a feeling of cold loneliness.

After Yan Yunxiao had a meal and bathed, he loosely put on a black pajamas and a robe casually draped over his shoulders. He sat in the side hall of Yinhua Palace and read the book.

Under his slender fingers, the folding book had been closed at some point. He did open it and read it a few times, but he could no longer remember what was written in the folding book.

He leaned on the seat, his face reflected in the candlelight was sharp and angular, and his long and thick black eyelashes created a delicate silhouette on his face. He looked at the candlelight jumping, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

"Zhaoshun, when is it?"

Zhaoshun walked in from outside the side hall again and replied, "Your Majesty, it is the end of the Youshi period."

As Yan Yunxiao listened, the silhouette of the eyelashes hitting his face moved slightly.

Su Jiu'er started kneeling there near the end of the Shen time, and has been kneeling for an hour now.

"How's it going over there, Concubine Su?"

His tone was light, and he seemed to be asking casually and carelessly.

Zhaoshun thought for a while and said, "Concubine Su is kneeling properly, and there is no news."

Yan Yunxiao was silent.

Very stubborn temper.

Didn't you even say a word of begging for mercy?

He didn't really think that Su Jiu'er was guilty, but he didn't like the way Su Jiu'er was docile and perfunctory in front of her.

In the imperial mausoleum, she saw the rich emotions in the eyes of those who were forced to bury their concubines, and the words that lingered in his chest for a long time, "You still can't bear to leave me."

I still remember her expression in those words, so determined and lazy, without any fear.

That's the real herself, right?

But she seemed to hide her true emotions in front of herself.

Even if he is innocently punished, he will not reveal it.

He threw the book in his hand back to the desk with a "pop" sound, and habitually used his right hand to play with the dark green thumb on his left thumb. The touch of the thumb was warm and cool, and Yan Yunxiao couldn't help but think of Su Jiuer's slim and petite figure.

palm.

The palms of her hands are so small and cute. If she hits someone, she will do 800 harm to herself. She will even hurt her own palms, not to mention her light body.

If he really fell to his knees, he would probably be dead.

Yan Yunxiao himself didn't realize that he had reached this point again.

The feeling of being forced to renege on the decision you made.

I can't help but feel depressed.

Zhao Shun moved his mouth and pretended to plead for Su Jiu'er, "I see that Concubine Su's body is too weak. I'm afraid that when she can't kneel down, I feel heartbroken."

It's obvious that Your Majesty can't bear to part with you.

Since he sat in this side hall, he has been asked "when" three times.

Concubine Su was suffering from kneeling at this moment, and it is estimated that His Majesty was also suffering from sitting in this side hall.

Yan Yunxiao glanced lazily at Zhaoshun, his eyes were cold, and Zhaoshun was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground, whispering, "Damn it, I'm talking too much."

"Go down."

Yan Yunxiao withdrew his gaze and spat out two words.

Only then did Zhaoshun retreat tremblingly.

He slowly walked to the window and raised his eyes to look at the sky. His eyes, as black as the eternal night, reflected a bright and clear light, and the sky was filled with stars.

Then his eyes slowly fell in the direction of Longhua Palace.

"His Majesty."

The voice brought him back to his thoughts.

Zhaoshun had just gone out, and now he came in again and called out.

Seeing that Yan Yunxiao did not drive him out, he quickly said, "Concubine Su's maid, Qingzhi, is kneeling outside the palace."

"I think I want to plead with Concubine Su."

Yan Yunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly walked out of the side hall. As expected, he saw Qingzhi kneeling outside the Yinhua Hall, with a very anxious and worried look on his face.

I still remember the first time Qingzhi came to report the news, saying that the words Su Jiuer said after waking up were suspected of being part of the Qi Wang Party, and why he was so worried about Su Jiuer now.

Yan Yunxiao walked up to her, looked at her and said quietly, "You are loyal, and you came here to intercede for her?"

Each of his light words carried a strong sense of oppression, seeming like a question, but also like a rhetorical question.

Qingzhi was so frightened that she knocked her head to the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty! I have always been loyal to Your Majesty and to the Kingdom of Yan! I am the maid of Concubine Su, so I deserve this fate."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! It was indeed Qi Meiren who provoked what happened today. Last time, it was Qi Meiren who quarreled with Wang Meiren to take out the slave's anger, and it was Concubine Su who came forward!"

"I don't ask for anything else. I just ask that you allow me to go and bring some food to the empress! She is weak and the floor is cold. When she knelt down, it was really cold."

As he spoke, he actually choked up.

Yan Yunxiao looked at her trembling back. How could he not know that Su Jiuer's incident was all caused by Qi Meiren, but even Qingzhi knew how to beg for mercy, and spoke out to argue in order to avoid his punishment. Why did Su Jiuer

Don’t you know how to say this?

Although Su Jiuer knelt before him, she never lowered her head to him.

"What? Is she worth your life?"

After seeing Qingzhi choked with sobs for a long time, Yan Yunxiao said slowly again.

Qingzhi wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, it's worth it. Concubine Su treats us and the servants in Fuyang Palace very well. She never beats or scolds her servants, and she eats everything you reward her."

The reward has been given to the servants, please forgive her because she has done nothing wrong in daily life!"

Yan Yunxiao snorted coldly when he heard this.

"With some good things, I will collect you."

After saying that, he strode out of Yinhua Hall.

Zhaoshun wanted to follow him, but Yan Yunxiao lazily raised his hand, Zhaoshun stopped and bowed behind him.

Qingzhi raised his head and saw that Yan Yunxiao had already walked away.

"Recruiting father-in-law?"

She choked and screamed, and offered a hand to help her up. She sighed and said, "Miss Qingzhi, you are here by chance. I think Concubine Su's punishment for tonight should be over."

"You, you'd better go back to Fuyang Palace earlier."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Qingzhi's worries turned into joy, and she saluted Eunuch Zhaoshun with a tearful smile, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhaoshun." Then she hurried back to Fuyang Palace.

Zhaoshun cast his gaze in the direction of Longhua Hall.

I have to leave early tomorrow morning to go to Tailing Temple. I don’t know until what time Your Majesty will be busy tonight.

Yan Yunxiao: {A Knife Eye} Zhaoshun, you know too much.
