This night is destined to be a long night.

In Fengluan Palace, the queen picked up a veil soaked in water and bent down to wipe the wound on Chu Luo's face. A blood mark on his cheek was long and deep. Every time she wiped it, a layer of bright red blood stain would appear on her handkerchief. She washed the handkerchief over and over again, and couldn't help but cry silently.

Seeing her like this, Chu Luo gradually frowned, but he still half-jokingly said, "It's me who was hurt, why are you crying?"

The queen raised her sleeve and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and replied in a low voice, "When is it now? The emperor still has the heart to joke." As she said that, she picked up the cleaned handkerchief and wiped the remaining blood bit by bit. Qingshui accidentally rubbed against Chu Luo's wound. He felt a little painful and let out a low voice. Seeing this, the queen immediately threw down her handkerchief and went to check Chu Luo's wound. As she just held back, tears gushed up again, "Emperor..."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Chu Luo suddenly remembered that when he was in Chonghua Palace, Chang'an saw his wounds as well. He couldn't help but feel a little painful in his heart and said calmly, "I'm fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stormy figure flashed outside the door.

As soon as she saw the emperor, she lay on the ground and started crying.

The little eunuch behind her looked hesitant, looked at the queen, muttering, "Empress... Master Zhong must come in... I can't stop him..."

The queen sighed slightly, waved her hand and said, "I understand, you go down."

The little eunuch retreated in response, leaving only Zhong Yuxiu crying on the ground, making the pear blossoms rain.

She only wore a white-backed gauze shirt, and the three thousand black hair was tied loosely with only one silver ribbon, and she did not put any makeup on her face. She obviously came all the way from the bedroom.

When Chu Luo saw that she was crying very emotionally, she felt a little moved, so she called out in a warm voice, "Get up."

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhong Yuxiu immediately wiped away the tears and stood up. But as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the basin of blood around the queen. Her tears couldn't help falling again, "Empress Xianfei... Why is she so cruel..."

When the queen heard the word "Xian Concubine", her brows frowned and asked in a lost voice, "Zhong Jieyu, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the queen was still unaware of it, Zhong Yuxiu wiped her tears and said briskly, "The Queen doesn't know yet... The Emperor's wound was when he had an argument with the Queen of Concubine Xian, and Queen of Concubine Xian..."

"Enough!" Chu Luo shouted sternly, turned to look at Zhong Yuxiu, and was already angry, "Where did you hear these words?!"

Zhong Yuxiu was so scared that she was silent, and hurriedly leaned over and knelt down and said, "I... I heard from a few palace servants..."

"You are the master. Can you believe it casually if the palace people gossip?" Chu Luo immediately turned a cold face, "This injury was accidentally left behind by me and it has nothing to do with Concubine Xian."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out regardless of the heavy expressions of the queen and Zhong Yuxiu behind him.

"Emperor..." Seeing Chu Luo take another step and stepping out of the threshold of Fengluan Palace, Queen Yingying said, "Aren't you going to rest in Fengluan Palace tonight?"

Chu Luo took a deep breath and walked out of the main gate of Fengluan Palace, "I will rest in Mingde Palace tonight."

When the emperor's figure disappeared, the queen came from grief. She looked at Zhong Yuxiu who was still kneeling on the ground and said in a silence, "The emperor is gone, why are you still kneeling here?"

Zhong Yuxiu was worried and dared not get up. She lowered her head and replied, "It was my concubine's words that made the emperor angry, so..."

She didn't say anything further, but the queen already knew what she meant. She smiled softly and sighed softly, "I don't blame you. The emperor will leave sooner or later..."

When Zhong Yuxiu heard this, her eyes raised slightly, but she was extremely unfair in her words. "The virtuous concubine hurt the emperor so much, but the emperor still protects her..."

The queen smiled coldly, and the smile was mixed with her many sadness and helplessness, "After all... we are still not as good as the Virtuous Concubine..."

After speaking, she held Miaochun's hand and slowly walked into the inner hall.

As soon as the queen went out, Lan Xiang immediately ran in and helped Zhong Yuxiu up. She staggered out of Fengluan Palace step by step, looked at the nine-level high shelf, and couldn't help but sneer.

Shen Chang'an, one day, you will be defeated.

In Mingde Palace, He Sheng is on duty tonight.

The emperor's personal eunuchs were Cheng Dehai and He Sheng. Cheng Dehai was the chief eunuch in Mingde Palace, with a lot of power and the most capable person to speak with the emperor. Working at night is always the hardest and most tiring job, and Cheng Dehai always gave this job to He Sheng. He Sheng was extremely peaceful and did not argue with him, so he took on this chore.

Sure enough, when the emperor returned to the palace tonight, he saw that it was He Sheng here again, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Where has Cheng Dehai been?"

He Sheng bowed and replied respectfully, "Eunuch Hai is not feeling well tonight, so he goes back to rest."

The emperor nodded, but he was very clear about what the abacus Cheng Dehai was thinking.

He walked straight back to the bedroom, but did not intend to rest. After He Sheng packed everything up, he asked respectfully, "Do you have any instructions?"

Chu Luo pondered for a moment, thinking, "You said I... are you too strict with Concubine Xian?"

The emperor's question scared He Sheng. They were slaves and were always responsible for the emperor's daily life, and never interfered with the matters in the harem. Now that the emperor asked this, he could only bite the bullet and answer, "The emperor is very generous to others."

Seeing that he answered the question, Chu Luo couldn't help but sigh and said in a deep voice, "You saw it when you were in Xianfei's palace today. It was me who had an argument with her... But Xianfei was not wrong..." He thought about this, and suddenly nodded heavily and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm telling you what I do, you go down."

"Yes." He Sheng agreed. Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and bowed respectfully to the emperor, whispering, "The Empress Xian Concubine truly loves the emperor."

This sentence shocked Chu Luo.

He suddenly remembered that when he left Chonghua Palace today, Chang'an fell to the ground, crying silently, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought bit by bit.

After that day, Chu Luo never set foot in Chonghua Palace again.

Even he himself couldn't figure out why. Perhaps he was afraid that he would see Chang'an again, the gap between the two would gradually deepen, or perhaps he just didn't think about how to face her. Later, Chu Luo stood at the gate of Chonghua Palace more than once, looking at the figure passing through the hall, but he never met again.

For a moment, the virtuous concubine suddenly fell out of favor.

Everyone in the palace was in danger, but they didn't know why.

Chen Chang'an's neglect continued until the spring of the third year of Yongchang.

When her green-headed card had been covered with a thin layer of dust, the father-in-law in the Jingshifang had to take the initiative to replace it and change it to the newcomer's brand.

When the in charge went to Mingde Palace and raised the wooden plaque with the green head sign high above his head, Chu Luo found that there was no Chang'an green head sign at a glance, and asked sternly, "Why is the sign of Xianfei missing?"

The in charge of the father-in-law was shocked and knelt down quickly, stammering, "Slave... I saw that the sign of Concubine Xian had accumulated dust today, so I changed it..."

"Bastard!" Chu Luo slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "Who told you to take your own decision without my will! Come!"

As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, Cheng Dehai rushed in from outside, respectfully descended, ready to accept the emperor's will.

"Chen Zhengsheng, the head of Jingshifang, neglected his duties and privately changed the green-headed card. He was stripped of his position in charge and punished twenty boards!"

When the emperor ordered, several eunuchs came up to drag the in charge of the father-in-chief. The in charge of the father-in-chief was so scared that he couldn't even speak, so he dared not resist. He left only a group of green-headed cards and was dragged outside the hall.

Cheng Dehai had already heard the conversation between the two outside the hall. He picked up the green-headed card, turned to put a basket in front of the emperor, and smiled and said, "This is what Master Zhong has just come to the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was busy, he didn't come in." After that, he seemed to remember something suddenly, slapped his forehead and flattered him with a smile, "Looking at the memory of the slave, I actually forgot that the emperor wanted to turn over the sign of Concubine Xian just now."

Chu Luo's face darkened, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again, "It's better to go to Concubine Zhong."

Zhong Yuxiu was about to return to the palace when she suddenly lifted up the curtain in the sedan chair. From a distance, she saw Cheng Dehai standing outside the gate of Yilan Palace and bowing to her.

"I wish you a blessing to Concubine Zhong Jie."

Yuxiu nodded, thinking about why Cheng Dehai had time to come to her Yilan Palace at this time, but in a blink of an eye he saw a Ming Huanglong chasing on the side of Cheng Dehai. He was immediately overjoyed and ran out of the sedan chair without caring about Lanxiang's support and rushed into Yilan Palace.

"Emperor!" She lifted the curtain, smiled brightly, and bumped into Chu Luo's arms.

Chu Luo was startled by the sudden scene in front of him. Looking at the person in his arms, he couldn't help but increase his strength, "I didn't see you in Mingde Palace today, are Yu'er angry?"

Yuxiu looked up at Chu Luo and smiled charmingly, "The emperor is busy with all kinds of things every day, how could I get angry with the emperor because of this little thing?"

Chu Luo chuckled and reached out to scrape Yuxiu's nose, "You are really virtuous." At the end, he sighed and said to himself, "How great would it be if Chang'an could have half of your wise things."

When Yuxiu heard the emperor mention Shen Chang'an, he felt a little unhappy. For so long, he still missed her. Thinking of this, she remained calm, "The Virtuous Concubine also has something extraordinary that her concubines cannot compare to."

Chu Luo smiled slightly, thought of Chang'an, but said no more.

Yuxiu stood up with a tactful look, ordered the little palace maid to prepare dinner, and said to Chu Luo, "Why is the emperor thinking about coming to the concubine?"

"I tasted the osmanthus cake you left behind, and I came here."

Yu Xiu knew that this matter must be Cheng Dehai's credit, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but become coquettish again, "Yeah, I'm here to eat, and I think it's because the emperor misses me."

Chu Luo looked at Yu Xiu in front of him with an angry look, and suddenly remembered Chang'an, who was seventeen years old.

That year, Chu Luo met Chang'an for the first time. She brought the prepared risp flour cake to Chu Luo, staring at Chu Luo with tears in her eyes and swept away the whole plate of risp flour cake. Finally, she asked with a smile, "My craftsmanship is good, right?"

Chu Luo couldn't say anything, but said, "Chang'an's craftsmanship is really great." Looking at the girl in front of him, he took advantage of her inattention and pulled her to her knees. He smiled and said, "Is it good to make it for me every day in the future?"

Chang'an's face changed and he shouted: "Do it every day? Then don't be exhausted?"

Chu Luolan laughed loudly, this girl really doesn't understand the meaning of it.

"emperor!"

Chu Luo came to his senses and saw Yu Xiu's blushing face and angry, and suddenly laughed, "I'm thinking about people and food."

Yuxiu looked shy and leaned against Chu Luo's shoulder and did not make any sound.

Chu Luo hugged her with one hand, but he missed another person in his heart, and he had a lot of thoughts for a moment.
