Duanmulang's fingers slowly brushed over the crested hairpin: "I carved this hairpin myself when I was young. It's not as exquisite as Sizhenfang's jewelry. Don't dislike it."
"Concubine..."
Baili Mingshuang burst into tears and burst into tears: "How can I dislike you? I love you so much."
Lin Chu couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone knows that the emperor and empress are glorious and glorious, but how many people have given up their moral lives in order to get that position.
Little do they know that what the two people in that position now long for in their hearts is just to live a normal life like an ordinary couple.
People in the world often say that the emperor's family is the most envious.
But what the supreme being in the world longs for most is just the life of ordinary people.
Maybe, what you can’t get is always the best!
Duanmu Lang was speechless for a long time. His gentle, watery eyes remained for a long time before he reluctantly moved away from Baili Mingshuang's face and looked at Duanmu Kang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The man's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on the baby's delicate cheek.
"This afternoon, Li Xiu also brought lotus seed soup, and I already used it in front of him."
Duanmulang's tone was low and calm, without any ups and downs. It was as if he was talking about someone else or something else.
Baili Mingshuang trembled in shock and almost jumped off the bed, but Duanmu Lang quickly held her down with quick eyes and hands.
"You...how can you eat it?!" Baili Mingshuang's anxious breath was unsteady: "Do you know, do you know..."
That bowl of lotus seed soup contained a dose of poison that would make him unable to survive the night!
Baili Mingshuang's voice became hoarse, her voice lingered between her lips and teeth for a long time, and she finally couldn't bear to speak out.
Duanmulang raised his lips and smiled: "To this day, I must die."
"Only if I die can many people live happily. But I can't ask you to kill me with your own hands."
After he spoke for a moment, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and the years were quiet.
"When the prince grows up, if he learns that his mother poisoned his father, how do you tell him to deal with it?"
"So, I can only die at the hands of others."
"Otherwise, you would think that Li Xiu and I see each other every day and are familiar with my words and deeds. Even if I can hide it from your father by pretending to be a little eunuch, how can I hide it from him?"
"I...I..."
Baili Mingshuang's lips moved slightly, but her voice was replaced by sobs.
Lin Chu was moved again.
I never expected that Duan Mulang would be such a temperamental person. He would sacrifice himself without hesitation for the sake of his wife and children.
"Brother A Zhi, Xiao Chu, Ming Shuang. You must remember what I am going to say next."
Duanmulang suddenly sat up straight: "The imperial edict I left for Li Xiu is false, just to confuse Bailiyuan's suspicions. I came here today to convey the true edict."
"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Duanmulang lowered his head and took off the jade belt wrapped around his waist.
With two fingers, he pulled hard and pulled the jade belt apart with a hiss. He slowly pulled out a thin piece of soft cloth from the gap, then rolled the cloth and handed it to Lin Chu.
"I will now leave the true imperial edict to Xiao Chu for safekeeping, and will keep it properly after leaving the palace."
Lin Chu's eyes were slightly condensed, and there were tiny stars in his eyes.
She never thought that Duan Mulang would hide such thoughts.
He uses self-mutilation and false edicts to confuse his enemies in exchange for a moment of freedom. When everyone in the world relaxes their vigilance towards him, he finds the most reliable person to convey his true will.
With such scheming and forbearance, if given time, he will definitely become the emperor of Western Chu through the ages.
It's a pity...I was born at the wrong time.
In the limited time he exists, he can only become Bailiyuan's puppet!
