The crimson in Huo Qiu's eyes suddenly became deeper, the man had been tired for several days, his eyes hadn't closed much, and in the end he was so angry.

Tang Zhuozhao's fingers were slightly cold, and just touching his cuff, the man strangled his snow-white wrist vigorously, and the skin around it turned red visible to the naked eye.

The bitter ambergris on the man's body was so compelling that it was inevitable for her to retreat again and again. Tang Zhuozhuo was forced to meet his gaze. When he saw it, he was startled and his body froze.

Huo Qiu only felt that his forbearance had reached its limit. Several eye-catching blue veins protruded from the back of his hand, and he could faintly hear the sound of blood flowing under his skin. What did I do in Qianqing Palace?"

This woman has such a keen sense of smell, and he still smells of the rouge and gouache on the maid's body. She has clearly smelled it, so how can she be so indifferent

Tang Zhuozhuo was in pain, and her white teeth lightly knocked on her lower lip, but her lips were truly red and her teeth were white. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head without speaking.

Huo Qiu's eyes became colder and colder, he smiled angrily, and brushed the clothes Zhang Desheng held in his hands to the ground, the buttons of the clothes and the ground made a refreshing sound, disturbing the dead silence in the room.

Tang Zhuozhao's body trembled slightly, and his eyelashes trembled a few times.

This was the first time in her rebirth that she had seen Huo Qiu get so angry. The awkwardness and disputes in the past had all become petty fights, but this time it was quite different.

"Your Majesty..." Her voice was like honey, but what she said made Huo Qiu feel his heart go cold.

"The concubine is fine."

Looking over from Huo Qiu's angle, a shadow was cast on the face of the tender little girl as white as jade, and the expression could not be seen clearly, but his blood turned to ice in an instant, and even his breathing was a little unsteady.

Is it true generosity, or just doesn't care

Tang Zhuozhuo was heartbroken, but he was full of words but didn't know how to speak, and he couldn't even lie to himself with what he said in the end.

"Tang Zhuozhao, just now that maid rubbed the center of my eyebrows for me, and put her whole body on me." Huo Qiu approached step by step, his eyes were so cold that he couldn't see a trace of warmth, but he spoke very slowly, every word Every syllable of the word is full of hostility.

The light fragrance on his body disturbed people's mind, Tang Zhuozhuo was in a trance for a moment, and then reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips.

It doesn't need him to say, since the maid came out of the gate of Compassionate Ning Palace, she can guess what will happen next.

The only missing thing is that this man will come to Changchun Palace at this time, and he still looks so angry.

The man was waiting for her to reply, but she just bit her lower lip lightly, with an expression that couldn't be more wronged.

The fire in Huo Qiu's heart seemed to have encountered hot oil, causing every part of his body to scream and release chills. His slender fingers, with well-defined joints, firmly pinched her chin as delicate as snow, and brought it close to her ear, The voice couldn't be softer: "Jiaojiao, you sent her to Zhen's bed in person."

For some reason, when Tang Zhuozhuo heard these words, a sour feeling suddenly surged up the tip of her nose, she turned her head away, not wanting him to see her reneging on her promises.

She was unhappy, very unhappy!

How could she want to do this

Huo Qiu saw that she was only frowning slightly, without even a slight fluctuation on her face, and suddenly felt a little discouraged. He gave a low laugh, then let go of her sharp chin, and caressed her lazily The delicate eyebrows and eyes felt the little girl's slight trembling, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Jiaojiao, I always do what you want every time. This time, do you want me to listen to you again?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly, but forced out all the panic and helplessness in Tang Zhuozhao's bones.

The little girl stood there dumbly, not speaking, with reddish eyes, she looked very pitiful.

Huo Qiu left her side, and kicked the deck chair carved with exquisite patterns to pieces, and sawdust flew everywhere. He took a deep look at Tang Zhuozhuo one last time, the woman still pressed her lips tightly, but the teardrops, Still running down the cheeks.

His heart was full of hostility and fury, and his voice was as cold as the wind blowing from the peak of a snow mountain, "When I was the crown prince, I asked the late emperor to grant me a marriage. I don't want to wrong you."

"A tall horse with ten miles of red makeup, didn't I tell you to personally push someone onto my bed today!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Qiu left Changchun Palace without looking back.

Tang Zhuozhao wanted to go to the bed and sit down, but his body couldn't control his body, his feet were unbelievably soft, his clothes and the sawdust were scattered all over the floor, other than that, there was only a few blows from the north wind howling outside. sound up.

If he doesn't leave, he is afraid that he won't be able to bear her tears, so he promises her anything.

Zihuan and An Xia were worried, and asked softly outside: "Your Majesty, do you want your servants to come in and tidy up?"

They all listened to such a loud noise.

Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head lightly, and said: "It's okay, I'm tired, let's talk about it tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, there was no sound from outside.

Tang Zhuozhuo pursed her lips tightly, her complexion was as white as paper, she bent down slowly, picked up the man's fine clothes that were mixed on the ground and mixed with wood, and finally rubbed the corners of her eyes, finally she couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes were red.

She wished she could entangle him just now, as she did in the past, tugging at his sleeve and telling him that she didn't like him touching other women.

how could you be happy

It was a quiet night, and Huo Qiu never came back.

When the dawn of the second day tore through the darkness to reveal the first ray of light, Tang Zhuozhao opened his eyes and his mind was in chaos.

Today's weather is fine, the rare sun came out, and the warm light shone down, pushing back the coldness of winter by a bit.

Tang Zhuozhuo moved the fine salt in the cup with a dry bamboo branch, his expression was a little lazy, the black bruise in front of his eyes could not be covered even by makeup, Tang Zhuozhuo looked at the person in the bronze mirror, and he was shriveled for a long time With a pursed mouth, he said, "If you can't cover it up, don't cover it up. You might as well not go anywhere today."

Her green fingers caressed a moist bracelet, and her beautiful eyes were full of disheartened disappointment. It was An Xia who reminded: "Mother, have you forgotten? The genius doctor Zijiang will enter the palace to treat you later. .”

After she said this, Tang Zhuozhuo hooked the corners of his mouth, pursed his lips and said, "What else is there? I have completely forgotten about it."

After breakfast, Tang Zhuozhuo reclined on the soft couch and read a book. Her fingers lightly slid across the pages of the book, and her eyes became blurred. This was taken from the west attic when she was reborn. The man said he would put it back after watching it, but she hasn't finished it until now.

The heart suddenly felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed, it didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortably blocked. It was hard to convince herself of the matter, but in the end she was defeated in every detail.

She was no longer in the mood to read, and lightly put the scroll in her hand on the small table, and rubbed the painful spot between her eyebrows wearily.

One thing after another, it gave her a headache.

An Xia lifted the bead curtain and came in, lowered her head and hurriedly reported, "Mother, Doctor Jiang is here."

Tang Zhuozhuo's bright eyes flashed past, and before he was about to speak, he heard An Xia say: "I heard that His Majesty has also come from Qianqing Palace."

The smile on Tang Zhuozhao's face disappeared, she moved her fingers slightly, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Please come in."

An Xia nodded, and stepped back respectfully.

Tang Zhuozhuo hadn't seen Jiang Jianxi for a long time, and at first glance at his calm and relaxed appearance, his first reaction was that he felt strange.

It was at this time that Zhang Desheng's high-pitched voice reached everyone's ears, "The emperor is here!"

Tang Zhuozhuo straightened the folds of his cuffs, and bowed down to the unsuspecting man who strode in.

Jiang Jianxi's expression didn't change for a moment, he just stared at Tang Zhuozhao's face thoughtfully for a while, calm and composed.

"Show the queen."

Huo Qiu's face was gloomy, and he didn't look at Tang Zhuozhao from the beginning to the end, but his peripheral vision was still uncontrollably following the movement of the delicate body, and it seemed that his words didn't match his heart.

Jiang Jianxi answered yes with a smile, and put his fingers on Tang Zhuozhuo's creamy wrist through the snow-white veil. As time went by, the smile on his face faded inch by inch.

Huo Qiu had already sensed something was wrong, and moved his fingers behind his back, several distinct veins appeared on the back of his hand, and the tight string in his heart was plucked several times.

Jiang Jianxi took the handkerchief and stood up, but when he raised his eyes, he unexpectedly met a pair of extremely cold autumn water eyes, with a hint of warning, he curled his lips.

The little girl's personality hasn't changed a bit.

It's so annoying.

Huo Qiu turned the Buddhist beads in his hand a few times, his eyes were cold, breaking the slightly weird atmosphere, and asked: "What?"

Tang Zhuozhao's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and his fingers moved slightly.

Jiang Jianxi's voice couldn't be more clear, but half of Tang Zhuozhuo's face turned pale. He stood beside Huo Qiu, neither humble nor overbearing, one was not angry but mighty, the other was gentle and clean.

"Your Majesty, can the grassroots speak to the Emperor alone?"

Once she said this, Tang Zhuozhuo gritted her silver teeth. She didn't know what Jiang Jianxi wanted to say to Huo Qiu, but she could sense something in the dark, which was definitely not what she wanted. Huo Qiu heard it.

"Can't you say it in front of me?"

Tang Zhuozhuo managed to squeeze out a few wisps of smiles, so that the words would be more natural when he said them.

But what kind of characters are Jiang Jianxi and Huo Qiu, and she can't hide a single bit of her subtle expressions and movements.

Huo Qiu finally glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Yes."

The final word.

This chat is the time for two sticks of incense.

On the flower branches in the small courtyard outside, I heard two small birds chirping with their heads tilted, adding some vitality to this windy and windy winter day.

Tang Zhuozhao put his chin in his hand, frowned, and casually took the bracelet on hand and knocked on the walnut to eat. The jade with excellent water head couldn't stand such tossing, but after a few times, it cracked two slits, and it looked like it was ruined.

An Xia and Zi Huan looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

==

In the side hall of the Changchun Palace, Huo Qiu was sitting on the bench boldly. The bright yellow wide-sleeved robe brushed over the corner of the table, dazzled people a little. He tapped his long fingers slightly, raised his sword eyebrows, and asked leisurely: " How is the Queen's body?"

She even has to hide it from herself

There was a gentle smile on the corner of Jiang Jianxi's mouth, but the smile was only on the surface, not reaching the eyes, and asked: "Didn't the emperor have seen it a long time ago by the imperial doctor in the Xuan Palace?"

What the result should be, the bottom of my heart is naturally clear.

Huo Qiu finally calmed down his expression slowly, and after a while he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there really no other way?"

Jiang Jianxi found a soft stool and sat down on his own, with a calm expression on his face. Hearing these words, the black light in his eyes flashed. He seemed to be interested in the words, and even his lips were stained. A bit of a playful smile.

"The girl of the Tang family couldn't be more clear about today's situation. I made it clear to her three years ago."

The more Jiang Jianxi spoke, the lighter his tone became. He took another sip of tea and raised his eyes, "Of course there is a way. I, Jiang Jianxi, have only two apprentices in my life. Naturally, I have considered everything properly."

Huo Qiu's tightly frowning brows finally loosened, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart for a long time dissipated a lot, and even the corners of his brows became less sharp.

He stood up slowly, his voice melted like snow, "As long as you are willing to make a move, you will be promoted to a higher position, real gold and silver, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not be stingy."

Jiang Jianxi smiled and shook his head, with a deep expression on his face, he also stood up, looking like a gentle and handsome young man, he looked sideways slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, you know why that girl doesn't want you and me to talk alone?"

Speaking of this, Huo Qiu moved his index finger, and the already dark eyes became even more bottomless.

He naturally noticed that the woman was not in the right state, she must have concealed something from him, and she didn't want to let herself know about this concealment.

"why"

Jiang Jianxi looked at the teacup in his hand for a long time, and rubbed his fingertips on the delicate pattern. After a while, as if thinking of something funny, he curled his lips and put down the teacup.

"Your majesty doesn't know. I did my best to save that girl's life back then. Later, when she left the temple, I gave her three pills to keep her healthy. I took one pill with my own eyes, and the other two pills. I asked her to take it around her nineteenth birthday."

The words were not rushed, but Huo Qiu's eyelids twitched a few times, half of the man's body was shrouded in the icy darkness, and the expression on his face made people shudder.

Jiang Jianxi suppressed the fun on his face, sat down on the stool again, and said slowly: "In front of the late emperor's bed, the first time I saw His Majesty, I smelled the medicinal fragrance of the pill. At that time, you must have taken that pill not long ago."

As he was talking, he sighed slowly, spread his hands, and continued: "The startled horse incident this time is just an inducement. She couldn't listen to a word I told that girl back then."
