In the past ten years, Dongling Yuanyong had never had a good night's sleep. It was normal, and there was nothing surprising about it.
However, he found that he slept very well during the period after his wedding to Ximen Yourong.
At first he didn't realize there was any difference. It wasn't until he got into the carriage with Ximen Yourong and he felt faintly sleepy that he realized that it wasn't the difference in his habits of more than ten years, but because of Ximen Yourong.
, his "usual habits" have changed!
The smell of her body made him relax quickly. Judging from the orderly rise and fall of his chest, he seemed to have fallen asleep happily!
However, Ximen Yourong, who was extremely sober, was not happy at all.
In fact, when he asked her to believe him, she vaguely guessed that there might be some misunderstanding about what happened in the past few days.
Because she guessed that he was not really so cruel to her, the grievances she was hiding in her heart and unwilling to face became real, and her tears fell in front of him.
These changes could have resolved many of her inner tangles, but she felt sad when she thought that Dongling Yuanyong's affection was divided between her and another woman at the same time!
She felt sad for herself! She knew clearly that the man she fell in love with was the Supreme of Da Chengguo. Regardless of whether he had true feelings for other women or not, it would not affect him from embracing them!
If she wants his affection, she must tolerate that he will belong to another woman. If she is not willing to tolerate this result, she cannot fall in love with him, otherwise, she will definitely suffer because he favors other women.
!
This kind of pain is tormenting her now. She doesn't want to turn into a jealous woman that even she despises.
However, she is a queen, and as long as she wears the phoenix crown, she cannot be jealous of anything.
Ximen Yourong sighed worriedly, her hand unconsciously caressing Dongling Yuanyong's thick eyebrow, and she whispered helplessly and angrily:
"You have messed up my heart, but you can't let me monopolize you. What should I do?"
Her confused questioning seemed to be heard only by herself. The sleeping person was still sleeping deeply, so he shouldn't be able to hear her distress...!
Time passed quickly, and when he was about to arrive at the royal ancestral mausoleum, Dongling Yuanyong opened his eyes automatically as if he had set the time in advance.
What caught his eyes was a face that he was already very familiar with, but she seemed to be asleep too.
Dongling Yuanyong gently got up from her lap, but as soon as his head left her, she opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Did I wake you up?" Dongling Yuanyong had already sat up.
Ximen Yourong shook his head and said:
"I didn't sleep, I was just bored and closed my eyes to rest."
In fact, her head was swollen because she hadn't slept well recently, and the various disturbances in her mind kept her from being quiet, so she couldn't just fall asleep like him.
Dongling Yuanyong looked at her obvious tiredness. He raised his hand and touched the corners of her eyes, and then said with a deliberately charming smile:
"With such a handsome husband right in front of you and all for you, why would you feel bored? Shouldn't you be very happy?"
Ximen Yourong blinked, and she was a little stunned when she heard his joking boast.
He was always serious in her eyes, and he might occasionally talk to her in a more relaxed manner, but he had never played such a completely intimate joke on her.
Dongling Yuanyong looked at her big confused eyes, and his smile became even more joyful, but he didn't say anything, he just stared at her, as if he wanted to see through her completely.
However, Ximen Yourong didn't know if it was because of the heavy weight in her heart that she couldn't relax at this time.
However, even though she didn't want to speak, she naturally picked up Dongling Yuanyong's ceremonial crown and helped him put it on again, and then straightened his ceremonial robe.
After she finished it, she sat down properly and remained silent.
Dongling Yuanyong didn't say anything, he just took the initiative to hold her hand tightly and wouldn't let go!
Ximen Yourong didn't resist, but he didn't see any joy in her either. Both of them were silent...!
Until the car stopped, Dongling Yuanyong raised their interlocked hands for her to look at, and then said to her sincerely:
"Your hand is the only hand I am willing to hold!"
Ximen Yourong didn't have time to understand the meaning of his words, because as soon as he finished speaking, he led her out of the carriage.
I thought that a sacrifice would be held as soon as I got off the carriage, but to Ximen Yourong's surprise, in addition to two rows of guards guarding the tomb at the entrance of the ancestral mausoleum, there was also a person kneeling in the middle.
The person's clothes didn't look down-to-earth, but they gave people a feeling of being humble.
When they approached the kneeling man, they saw him bowing his head and praying:
"Brother Zui welcomes Your Majesty and the Queen!"
Dongling Yuanyong looked solemnly and looked at the kneeling person in front of him. Many painful memories emerged, but he suppressed his cold voice and said:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The man who called himself "Brother Sin" stood up and then respectfully stepped aside to make way.
Dongling Yuanyong had already taken the lead and took a few steps forward, but he suddenly stopped and did not look back. He only said:
"Yuan Xi, you also come to watch the ceremony."
After finishing speaking, Dongling Yuanyong continued to move forward. Ximen Yourong, who was walking side by side with him, looked back unconsciously. It turned out that the man who called himself "Sin Brother" was Ximen Ruofeng's son, her nephew.
~ Dongling Yuanxi!
She thought Dongling Yuanxi had died long ago, but she didn't expect that he was still alive!
Ximen Yourong looked at Dongling Yuanyong's serious face again, and she seemed to be able to feel the complicated emotions in his heart.
He could obviously kill Dongling Yuanxi, but he didn't do that.
The stability of imperial power and the bond of blood, he finally chose blood... She is now more sure that his heart is indeed warm!
The Beginning of Spring Sacrifice Ceremony was successfully completed in the sunny season, and everything seemed perfect!
Especially for Ximen Yourong, her image became noble in the eyes of the people because of the "Ao Fairy" who grew up in front of the grave of Ximen's ancestor and the prophecy that she was a lucky queen.
Get up, this is far from what she expected.
She originally thought that someone was going to cause trouble for her, but it didn't seem like that!
However, she must be right about one thing, that is, there must be something fishy about the "Ao Fairy" in front of Ximen's ancestor's grave. That "Ao Fairy" definitely did not grow naturally, but was created by someone, perhaps specifically for her.
Planted" just to make her a "lucky" queen!
If the Beginning of Spring Ceremony brought benefits to Ximen Yourong, then the benefits she received stimulated another person who absolutely did not want to see her good things, and that person was You Kouyi.
Three days have passed since the Beginning of Spring Ceremony, and everything was peaceful inside and outside the palace. Only the Xiangyun Palace was shrouded in a layer of haze.
You Kouyi could not understand why Dongling Yuanyong had never set foot in Xiangyun Hall since the Beginning of Spring Ceremony.
Today she went to Longtai Hall under the pretext of delivering him soup, but her trip was in vain because Eunuch Cao said that Dongling Yuanyong seemed to be in a bad mood, so he ordered that no one should disturb him.
When she came out of Longtai Hall, she happened to bump into Dongling Yuanhao. After saying hello, You Kouyi smiled and said casually:
"Your Majesty seems to be worried about something, so he ordered that no one should disturb him. I'm afraid that if Prince Hao goes in now, he won't be able to see your Majesty."
Dongling Yuanhao looked at You Kouyi, and he said half-heartedly:
"Brother Huang will not miss me if he doesn't see anyone, because I'm just here to put out the fire for him."
"Does Prince Hao know what your Majesty is upset about?" You Kouyi was already curious about what happened to Yuanyong in Dongling.
"of course I know!"
"Then Your Majesty...?"
You Kouyi was cautious, as if she was worried that she shouldn't ask, but Dongling Yuanhao didn't shy away from it:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that a few gangsters sneaked into the palace and disturbed the emperor's purity!"
Upon hearing the word "charlatan", You Kouyi's heart tightened, and her face flashed unconsciously. She maintained her composure and asked again:
"What is the "traitor" mentioned by Prince Hao...?"
Although You Kouyi's panic flashed away, Dongling Yuanhao still caught him, but he pretended not to know and asked with a smile:
"Concubine You, have you ever heard of "The Enemy Gate"?"
You Kouyi was secretly shocked again, but said quietly:
"I've never heard of it, but how dare a small Jianghu sect dare to be so presumptuous...?"
"I didn't say that the Enemy Sect is a martial arts sect."
Dongling Yuanhao's inquiring smile made You Kouyi tighten her hands hidden in her sleeves, and she immediately said:
"Prince Hao just mentioned that there are "traitors" in the palace, so I guessed whether the "enemies" are where those thieves came from."
"Oh... I was shocked. I thought Concubine You was very familiar with "The Enemy Sect"."
"Of course I don't know about any injustice!" You Kouyi quickly calmed down her uneasy heart.
"You must not know, otherwise I would suspect that Concubine You is closely related to those thieves... Haha, just a joke, a joke, Concubine You, don't mind, I think you are the most noble daughter in the family, how could you be with
There is a connection between an evil Jianghu sect. If there is really a connection, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the You family and an insult to the majesty of the royal family."
You Kouyi frowned, the smile on her face faded, and then she said unceremoniously:
"Although Prince Hao is joking, I still hope that Prince Hao will not make such a joke next time, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Ah, look at my open mouth, I accidentally offended Concubine You... Tsk, tsk, I have to cultivate myself a little more. Next time I see Concubine You, I mustn't open my mouth again... I'm so sorry,
Concubine You, please include me for once!"
Dongling Yuanhao bowed to You Kouyi and made a big bow. His exaggerated movements made You Kouyi look at her for a moment. Before she could react, Dongling Yuanhao straightened up again.
He said to himself:
"Concubine You, please help yourself. I have to discuss with the emperor how to deal with the little mouse sent into the palace by the "unjust sect"."
"...?"
You Kouyi's open mouth didn't even have time to say a single word. Dongling Yuanhao had already strode into the Longtai Palace, completely ignoring her embarrassment of being ignored.
However, she was not in the mood to care about Dongling Yuanhao's attitude towards her. She looked up at the plaque of "Longtai Hall", and then thought of Dongling Yuanhao's words just now, intentionally or unintentionally, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
