It was night time, and a curfew had been implemented in the capital city of Daxia. A motorcade was speeding along the road in the middle of the capital, passing through the quiet streets, heading straight to the palace.
The horses' hooves made a clattering sound on the road paved with bluestones, and bright yellow tassels hung on the sides of the carriage, creating a strange arc in the night.
The Imperial Guards who were on duty to patrol the capital came to the carriage several times after seeing it and tried to ask. When they saw Murong Yi's cold face, they all pushed him away and the carriage entered the palace unimpeded. Nothing happened.
Dou Zunian and others are worried about any foreseeable situation.
In fact, Yifang didn't think that anyone would assassinate her at this moment!
If both Xia Jie and Dou Zunian thought this was a demonstration and a disguised plan to attack her, then when Mrs. Dou was poisoned, she could almost foresee that this was not a simple calculation.
The plan, by this time, had changed.
"Has the Emperor ever slept peacefully?"
When they returned to Longyang Palace, Yifang was being served by Cui'er and took off her cloak. She didn't wait for Cui'er to take the initiative to reply, so she took the initiative to ask.
Cui'er didn't dare to delay. She knew that it would be a big deal for the master in front of her to return to the palace overnight after the death of Mrs. Rong Guo.
"Replying to your Majesty, the Emperor is still reviewing today's memorial."
Hearing this, Yifang didn't rush to take off her hairpins, and turned around hastily. Liuyun's long hair flowed down to her waist like water satin, shaking her eyes so hard. She hurriedly walked for a few seconds.
He walked forward and said, "I'll go ahead to find the emperor."
As soon as he took two steps, he hesitated again when he thought that Xia Jie would summon some ministers and confidants when reviewing memorials in the past few days.
This matter is too secretive and important. If someone goes ahead and gets some clues, even just a little bit, it will be very bad.
She hesitated for a moment, her delicate brows furrowed, and walked back and forth in the room twice. She raised her hand and said: "Go, please come over, your Majesty. If there are any courtiers over there, just say it, just say it."
..." After thinking about the excuse, Yi Fang said with a serious expression: "Just say that I am overly sad and not feeling well."
Cui Er was slightly hesitant. Many people in the court said that the empress was a witch who brought disaster to the country. The news of Mrs. Rongguo's new funeral had already spread throughout the court and the public. The empress initially insisted on keeping vigil at the Dou family, not to mention that the empress married into the royal family.
Women, even if your mother-in-law is the daughter of an ordinary family, her married daughter is just like the water thrown out, and there is no reason to keep vigil in her mother's house. But the emperor has agreed, and her mother-in-law has also stayed in the Dou family. Now that her mother-in-law returned to the palace late at night, she still
Go ahead and ask the emperor, who is reviewing the memorial, to come over. If you pass it around, it will be a clue.
However, the empress also said that if there were any courtiers present, they would say that the emperor was asked to come because she was not feeling well. This...
Cui'er wanted to speak out for advice, but when she saw the solemn look on Yi Fang's face and the tiredness on her face, she swallowed her words again and hurried out.
When Cui Er arrived at the front, there were indeed two ministers from the Ministry of Civil Affairs there. Yi Fang did not return to the palace, and Xia Jie was not in a hurry to go back to rest. There were many strange things today, which made Xia Jie feel that a storm was coming.
The feeling is gradually approaching.
In the past, he would not have been so scared, but now, at this moment, he had to worry.
The winner is a prince, the loser is a bandit, but now he has a house to take care of and a loved one to protect, so he cannot take any risks.
The Ministry of Personnel is where the imperial court controls officials, and he must not make mistakes.
Unexpectedly, when summoning the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yifang came back.
When he heard Cui'er reporting that Yifang was not feeling well, Xia Jie's first reaction was that he was heartbroken and devastated by the news of Yifang's death due to Hua Piaoling. From the corner of his eye, he saw the two courtiers next to him.
When he showed disdain, he felt angry in his heart, but these two people were not his confidants. The remarks about Yifang in the court had already been rampant. He did not want to make too many enemies for Yifang at this time and shake his ministers' hearts, so he forced
He suppressed the anger and waited for a while before pretending to be casual and said: "My dear friends, you will rest in the court room in the outer city tonight, and you will return to the mansion tomorrow to have a good rest."
The two ministers thanked them and left. Xia Jie stood up from the dragon chair in a hurry, his feet were flying, and his expression was eager.
"How is your Majesty?"
When Xia Jie spoke, he turned his head away and almost touched the face of Cui'er who was accompanying him. His voice, as always, had a deep hoarse tone. It had a charming flavor in the cold night wind and dew.
Even though Tweetie was calm, she couldn't help but blush. Suppressing the undue restlessness in her heart, Tweetie said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty is fine. I see that Your Majesty looks fine. Maybe she has other matters."
It’s not necessarily necessary to report it to the emperor.”
Xia Jie's steps did not pause. He did not comment on Cui'er's words, but it was just a slave's usual comfort. He understood Yi Fang's temperament and Hua Piao Ling's mother-daughter love.
If he hadn't asked Yifang to stay at Dou's house to keep vigil, or to go to Dou's house to visit Yifang with him, he could only choose one of the two, otherwise it would attract discussion between the government and the public, and he would never leave Yifang alone in Dou's house.
The family faces such a painful and tormenting moment.
What's more, Yifang chose to return to the palace at this time, why didn't he feel anxious? Did Yifang return to the palace because he couldn't bear such a blow, or maybe he was too emotional when he was in the Dou family. These all made him feel heartbroken.
In one place, it was torn apart happily.
Xia Jie had something on his mind and was very fast on his feet. When he arrived at the door of the dormitory, he saw the woman who loved her as much as his bones. He couldn't help but move a little faster. He rushed forward and held Yi Fang in his arms.
inside.
It was just a short span of time, but to him, it seemed like a thousand years had passed.
The man's mellow and hot breath hit his face, and he was firmly locked in Xia Jie's arms. Yifang thought of his helplessness when facing the death of his mother, of the darkness behind the many conspiracies, and of what he believed and relied on in the past.
My maternal grandfather's family has long since changed beyond recognition. When I think of the men my mother told me that I can't trust them, the hard shell covering my heart finally cracks. The corners of my eyes become sore and I shed a few lines of tears.
"Yifang, don't cry, don't cry..."
Xia Jie hoarse his voice, hugged Yi Fang in his arms, and kissed the crystal tears off her face carefully, but did not touch her lips. He knew that these lips were too sweet, and once he touched them
, he couldn't stop, and his Yifang had just experienced the pain of losing her mother, so he couldn't hurt her for his own desires.
Yifang cried even more because Xia Jie took such gentle care of her. Xia Jie just licked her tears over and over again, held her in his arms, walked to the soft steps in the inner hall, and patted her gently.
's back.
When other people in the palace saw this situation, they all retreated out of curiosity.
There was another power outage in the hotel last night. I really can't help it. I can't see the power outage and can't code. If nothing happens, two chapters will be released tonight. Also, what everyone said about the so-called dead and alive again is probably the character.
There are too many, and everyone is confused. I will sort out the character list as soon as possible, so everyone can understand. I looked it up, and there is absolutely no such bug. The recent plot is very cumbersome and complicated, and it is all foreshadowing for the future. Everyone needs to
