Seeing that he was so silent, the concubine was surprised, but she did not force herself. At this time, Dan'er went back to get hot tea and dry towels, "Your Highness, please use some hot tea to drive away the cold."
Yin Lang took it slowly and took a sip of tea. A stream of heat flowed into his abdomen, relieving some of the chill.
Then, Dan'er handed the dry towel to his hand and motioned for him to wipe the rain from his hair. However, he just held it silently in his palm and made no move.
The concubine glanced at the dry towel that had been tightly clenched in his hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said slowly: "Your Highness came to see me late at night. Is there anything urgent?"
Hearing this, Yin Lang slowly raised his head that had been lowered, and then glanced at Dan'er on the side of the attendant.
The concubine understood and waved her hand to signal her to retreat, "Your Highness, you can speak now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hoarse and deep voice was heard, "I want to ask your Majesty, why did my mother die?"
He admitted that he was greatly shocked by the things he heard about his mother in the cold palace. Although he believed it undeniably in his heart, he still couldn't just listen to her one-sided words. In order to confirm the truth of the matter, he Just found here to find a definite answer.
The reason why he asked the concubine was because if it was true that the poisonous woman said that his mother was killed by his father's design, because they were biological mother and son, then his situation should be precarious now, no, it should have always been It is in danger! He knew this very well. Otherwise, his father would not have taken advantage of this incident to abolish his title and imprison him for life.
Therefore, he could not be stupid enough to question his father face to face after surviving this desperate situation. In that case, due to the close relationship between him and Pei An, I am afraid that his father would kill him and kill him. There will be trouble in the future, he must not be so stupid as to seek his own death! That's why he chose his long-standing enemy to ask. It was ironic to say that the person he had hated for so many years was, in the end, the only person he could talk to.
The concubine was slightly stunned, her face changed slightly, and she asked instead, "Why does Your Highness ask such a question?"
Yin Lang lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a moment, said leisurely: "I have been to Leng Palace before, and Zhou Xiwen told me some unknown things..."
At this time, the concubine's face had already changed drastically. With her heart trembling, she asked urgently in a calm voice: "What did she tell you?"
Although she had already come to a certain conclusion in her mind, she still couldn't stop asking questions knowingly.
The man looked at her sudden change of mood and said word by word: "Everything. She knew every word about the real cause of my mother's death, her true identity, who she served, and what she had done. It was clearly revealed to me!”
As he spoke, he began to growl, obviously excited.
The concubine was suddenly startled, and her heart sank little by little. It seemed that he knew everything! Then Xu Shen softly comforted him: "Your Highness, calm down first."
However, Yin Lang hissed and laughed, "Haha, calm down? Well, please swear by heaven and solemnly tell me whether what Zhou Xiwen said is true or false!"
He had lost control of his emotions, but the concubine could only see this and was speechless.
In fact, she had already thought that Yin Lang would definitely question Zhou Xiwen about the reason why he suddenly poisoned him. She should also have thought that Zhou Xiwen would not let go of the opportunity to torture him mentally and would definitely reveal the truth that had been buried for many years. But , when she couldn't think of a way to deal with it, these unexpected things still happened. It seemed that it was destined to be like this, even if she wanted to, she couldn't stop it!
But those truths caused him little pain. If this made him feel resentful towards His Majesty and then do something rebellious, or if His Majesty suddenly found out that he knew the truth, the consequences would be huge. It’s unimaginable!
She couldn't watch their father and son turn against each other. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain that she had been the scapegoat for so many years? !
But now, how should she answer him, and how should she prevent the situation from getting serious
After pondering for a moment, the concubine finally closed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "No matter what Zhou Xiwen told you, no matter what the facts are, I can only tell you that your mother has her own difficulties, and your father also has his last resort. . I would like to advise Your Highness, if things are over, don’t hold on to them anymore. You should learn to forget, put everything aside, and forget everything!”
At this point, she could only explain to him in this way, both to persuade and to remind him secretly, because those truths would only make him suffer unnecessary disasters, and he could only live a peaceful life by pretending that he didn't know.
This answer finally shattered the remaining luck in Yin Lang's heart. It seemed that he didn't need to ask any more questions, because the answer was already very clear, wasn't it? !
Oh, in fact, it was unnecessary for him to ask, so why bother asking? That reluctance and lack of confidence, if pressed until the end, will only make him more painful in the end!
He knew that what she said later was a warning to him, warning him that if he persisted in pursuing the truth, the result would not be of any benefit to him. In fact, it didn't need her to say that he knew it very well, but he didn't expect that he had been A person who hates will care about him so much at critical moments. He knew that the night when his father wanted to deprive him of his prince title, she had begged for him. Recalling all his stupid actions over the years, he became even more... So shameless!
He closed his eyes, his face filled with shame.
However, since those things are already known, can they really be forgotten
Thinking about it, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the concubine, and murmured painfully: "How can I forget so easily? They are all so terrible. This palace is simply an abyss of hell with no exit in sight. ... In fact, even if my father abolished me, at least he freed me from the shackles and became lighter. I will no longer be haunted by nightmares and burdened by the pain! Now I really hope that if there is an afterlife, I don’t want to be reborn in an emperor’s family anymore, I just want to be an ordinary villager, live a worry-free life, and have a peaceful and happy life!”
Those were words of despair that made his heart turn cold and gray. He heard endless emotion in the ears of the concubine, but she could only sigh helplessly in her heart.
After a long time, the man pursed his dry lips and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Only then did he realize that he had built a wall of grudges and hatred for many years, but in the end, he pieced together love and hate again, and his unspeakable sadness was revealed in the incompleteness...
Finally, he turned around and slowly left the hall, his back looking so desolate.
The concubine was stunned for a moment, but finally came to her senses and understood the meaning of his apologetic words.
He was actually apologizing to her for all the bad attitudes he had shown in the past and for his wrongdoing...

Cool night, Xuan Yue.
The silvery sand-like moon shadow lightly shone on the two figures, creating a shallow halo of frost.
On the quiet palace street, they cast each other's shadows, walking side by side, complementing each other.
After being relatively speechless all the way, Brother Shu Wuluan finally couldn't remain silent, so he opened his mouth and said, "Hey, why haven't you spoken? What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Before, she and Yan Qisha met by chance outside the Imperial Study Room. At that time, he proposed to walk together to see him out of the palace. As a result, the only sound of footsteps followed her along the way.
The man Maungruo came back to his senses and smiled softly at her, "It's nothing. Didn't you say nothing?"
"Hey, you..." She really couldn't do anything against him. In terms of talking, she really couldn't beat him.
For some reason, looking at his charming profile, she vaguely felt that he seemed to have something on his mind, so she couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Oh, by the way, why did His Majesty summon you to the palace so late? Is there a problem?"
Yan Qisha narrowed his eyes, his slender eyelashes cast a dark shadow, "It's nothing, I just asked about the recent cases in the supervision camp."
Isn't it allowed to ask about a case in the morning
She expressed doubts about this answer, obviously aware that he was hiding something from her. However, since he was deliberately hiding something, she was wise enough not to ask further questions.
Next, the two began to talk to each other without saying anything, and the atmosphere fell into silence again. The moonlight followed, making their shadows grow longer.
The cool night breeze blew in, ruffling her hair and clothes, and a chill invaded her body and mind. She unconsciously crossed her arms.
The man observed her subtle movements, carefully took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, saying softly: "The weather is getting colder, remember to wear more clothes when going out in the future."
The clothes on her shoulders were stained with the faint fragrance of orchid, and with his warm body temperature, she felt intoxicated and warmed her heart. She raised her eyes to meet his watery blue eyes, pursed her lips, and said softly sincerely: "I never knew you could be so charming when you are gentle."
Yan Qisha stopped opposite her, stretched out his long fingers, and carefully caressed every inch of her face, as if he were treating a treasure and cherishing it, "Do you like it?"
His fingertips were slightly cool, and they touched her cheek, causing her to tremble slightly. She blinked her eyes and deliberately asked without answering, "If I said I didn't like it, would you believe it?"
He curled his lips and smiled, the answer already clear in his mind. Finally, his long fingers rested on her lips, his eyes burning.
Brother Shu Wuluan's heart skipped a beat, and his jade cheeks were slightly hot. He knew what he was thinking at this moment, so he quickly lowered his head and took his hand, "There are many people in the palace, so this is not good!"
"I know. I'm just thinking about it." Yan Qisha slightly wrapped her bare hands in his big palms, then tightened them little by little, stared into her eyes, and asked, "You know I've been here these days Are you worried about something?"
Seeing her shaking her head, he asked and answered: "I'm afraid that you no longer belong to me. I'm afraid that your majesty will give you the eldest son as a prince and concubine. I'm also afraid that when the time comes, you will be carried away by jealousy and do something crazy. Something to come…”
She saw his panic in her eyes, and the pain in her heart slowly spread. She tried hard to suppress it, and suddenly asked with curious eyes flashing: "What about?"
Yan Qisha replied solemnly: "I kidnapped a first-class female official of the current dynasty and ran away with her!"
