Yes, she is Zizhuo, who came here to find Leng Qisu.
It wasn't because she remembered something, but because of Chu Xunmo.
At the end of the morning session today, she went to look for Chu Xunmo, but to no avail, but met someone who looked exactly like Chu Xunmo. Later she found out that that person was Chu Xunmo's eldest brother Chu Xunyang.
It was the first time she knew that Chu Xunmo had an elder brother.
Chu Xunyang told her that Chu Xunmo had gone on a far journey and would not be back for a while.
The twinkling look in Chu Xunyang's eyes when he said this gave her a very bad feeling.
Then, she thought of Luping.
When she stepped into Gan Bixuan, Lu Ping was standing alone in the yard, looking up at the treetops that had already lost their leaves in winter, her face full of sadness and desolation.
She found that this woman seemed to have gone through a lot of changes overnight.
As if he understood her purpose, before she could speak, Luping smiled bitterly and told her what she wanted to know.
"The Feilun Hidden Weapon was made by me. I didn't want to kill Emperor Nanxuan, otherwise he would poison him. I just wanted to hold him hostage and force him to hand over the Dragon Pearl."
"Because of this matter, last night, your Majesty said harsh words to me for the first time, and the two of us also had our first fierce quarrel in many years. In the end, your Majesty said that he was tired and wanted to go to the ice cellar. Sleep for a while and let me take good care of you, the only woman he can't worry about."
Zizhuo will never forget the look in Luping's eyes at that time.
She stared at her fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her alive. There was hatred and despair in her eyes. She yelled at her out of control, "Do you know what it means to sleep in an ice cellar for a while? That's like a living dead." ! Without the Longzhu, he will lie in the ice cellar for the rest of his life and never wake up!"
"He is so young, he is only twenty-two years old. What's wrong with him? He has to suffer such torture? He has been living in the shadow of his own death since he was a child. All he did later was just to live, but in the end he died for you. Give up! It's all you, all because of you..."
Zizhuo didn't remember what Luping said later, nor did he remember how he walked out of Gan Bixuan.
I just remember that when she left, she asked, "How much time does Brother Chu have?"
Luping said: "March!"
The carriage was still moving forward rapidly, Zizhuo's thoughts came back, and the gauze felt cool against her face. She raised her hand and touched it, and it turned out that tears were already staining her breasts.
Brother Chu, don't worry, you won't die.

Nanxuan, Longyin Palace
Leng Qisu sat in front of the case, looking down at the memorial in his hand.
Li Quansheng knelt on the ground, raised his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the face of the man on the case.
"These are the lists for this time's concubine selection?" After reading two pages, Leng Qisu couldn't stand it anymore and raised his head to look at Li Quansheng in front of the palace.
"It's true, Your Majesty, but what's wrong with it?"
Li Quansheng was sweating coldly. Several civil and military officials jointly submitted petitions and petitions in the morning. Only then did their emperor agree to choose the concubine.
He knew better than anyone else that this man had no intention of doing this at all, so the task of choosing a concubine was very unpleasant. But what he didn't expect was that this difficult task would fall on him in the end.
"No!" Leng Qisu said calmly and threw the memorial in his hand in front of him, "You have full authority to do it!"
Have full authority to do it
Li Quansheng was shocked. Did this man mean that he would not even participate in the final decision
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this? Isn't this slave... a slave like a grass slave? How could... how could he choose a woman?"
Seeing that his face was red with anxiety and he couldn't speak clearly, Leng Qisu smiled lowly and said, "No problem, choose whatever you want!"
casual
How can this be casual
Each one of them is a woman with a background, either the daughter of an important minister or a wealthy businessman. Even if the emperor is not interested, as the person he chooses, he is in a dilemma.
Just as he was about to leave without tears, Leng Qisu suddenly stopped him.
"By the way, choose one or two women with no folk background to come in!"
"yes!"
At that time, Li Quansheng just responded, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally understood the good intentions of the young emperor.
If you choose a concubine, there is no way to not favor her. Let alone the officials, the people don't know how they will pass on this emperor. But if there is a reason to favor her, it will be different.
It is not enough to favor the daughter of an important minister, which will lead to an imbalance of power in the court.
However, it is different if you favor a woman with no background. At best, this woman will be envied by others, but she will not have any connection with the government.
**********
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed for the first time this winter in Nanxuan. White snowflakes were flying like goose feathers.
There is only a vast expanse of white left between the sky and the earth, and the majestic palace is covered in silver, and it is like a beautiful palace.
The palace was very lively today, not affected by the weather at all.
Because today is the final day for this concubine selection.
Twenty fragrant flower sedans carrying twenty stunning beauties slowly entered the palace gate.
These were the last twenty people left after the auditions and primaries for officials from various places. I heard that these twenty people were ultimately selected by the emperor himself.
