Late at night, in a pavilion in the royal city.
A tall figure stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The night wind blew past his body, and he saw a man in a dark cloak lying at his feet.
"Your Majesty, I'm calling you urgently. Do you have anything important to tell Phantom?" A deep male voice sounded at the right time, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
However, after the words fell for a long time, there was no reply.
Seeing the man who was called Lord, standing with his back straight and silent, brought an inexplicable feeling of depression.
The moonlight slowly slanted across and shone into the pavilion, casting a layer of silvery sand-like light and shadow on the ground. It also illuminated the Lord's face clearly.
It was a handsome face, sharp and sharp hidden between the brows.
He turned around slowly with a flick of his sleeves, giving off a domineering aura of a king.
Shang Jun Jinrui looked down at the figure at his feet and said calmly, "How did you go about the things I told you?"
Although the voice was indifferent, it was full of invisible oppression, forcing Phantom to bury her head on the ground and replied in a deep voice: "Phantom is already getting closer to her..."
Before she finished speaking, Jin Rui interrupted her coldly, "What I want is not to get close, but to completely conquer her and gain her trust so that I can use her in the future!"
The man frowned slightly and said, "But there is only one person she trusts—the concubine."
His answer was met with a cold rebuke, "That's why I asked you to attract her attention!"
Phantom Maoruo was puzzled and said in a low voice: "She is loyal to the empress, doesn't that mean she is finally loyal to His Majesty..."
"My dynasty will never tolerate the likes of the Wu family!" The sharp and domineering tone made Phantom's heartstrings tighten.
The concubine is victorious, and now she is looking down upon the entire inner palace, so it is difficult to guarantee the future...
Chaos in the harem is something that monarchs of all dynasties hate.
It turned out that the Lord had already been wary of the concubine, otherwise he would not have ordered him to secretly report the Second Highness's murder to Ge Shu Wuluan. This move of casting stones to ask for directions is very clever. If the concubine protects her son, this will be used to suppress her momentum at the right time. But if she abandons her son to protect the car, it will just prove her ambition.
It just so happened that the concubine’s choice was the latter!
"I do my best to pamper her because I value her brains and extraordinary wisdom to help me fight against Pei An. I don't want her to secretly support forces and develop undue covetousness... a A woman who can even abandon her own children, imagine how cruel and hard-hearted she is! How can she, who doesn't recognize her closest relatives, have any kind thoughts towards others? Doesn't she rely on her brother Shu Wuluan? That's good , I took this hard stone. Haoyue, even if you are a strong tree, if there are no people under the roots to cultivate the soil, you will eventually wither and die!" I heard Jin Rui's voice gradually became more and more urgent, and finally became hysterical. Phantom's heart sank again and again, and a trace of panic began to spread in his heart.
After a long time, Jin Rui calmed down, raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky outside the pavilion, and said leisurely, "Do you think this task is difficult to complete? You must understand that I have endured for so many years and am willing to be suppressed by Pei An. It is probably because his power is too strong to be uprooted. The undercurrent of the previous dynasty has made everyone more and more worried and exhausted, and now she is added to it... If Ge Shu Wuluan can be successfully used by everyone, not only will they be defeated He can not only suppress the ambition of the imperial concubine, but also use it to control Pei An. This can be said to be a good son who has the best of both worlds."
At this time, the Phantom had to admire the master's wisdom. This method of killing two birds with one stone not only frustrates the concubine's covetous heart, but also draws Pei An's attention to the inner palace, because he has always been dissatisfied with it. As a woman in power, he would definitely not be willing to accept the favor of a mere female official. He would definitely take action to suppress it, thus allowing Pei An to loosen his control over the court. Once he loosened a little loophole, the Lord would quietly take advantage of it. Seize power.
With such a secretive city, Pei An might still be kept in the dark until his authority is removed.
When the man was distracted, Jin Rui's voice came in vain, "But if this chess piece is not under the control of the owner, rather than keeping it and ruining a good chess game in the future, it is better to... abandon it."
Hearing this, Phantom raised his head suddenly, just in time to see the murderous look flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, "My lord, are you going to... kill her?!"
"For the sake of grand ambition and hegemony, why not kill one or two people?" His tone was very light, as light as a gust of wind blowing around his ears. Even so, it still made Phantom's body stiffen.
He bowed his head to the ground again, his voice was deep but trembling violently, "Please think again, my lord!"
Jin Rui slowly looked away, leaned down slowly, put her big palm on his trembling shoulders, and said in a serious voice: "Are you shaken?"
The man suppressed his chaotic emotions and said in a low voice: "Phantom doesn't dare!"
A cold sneer appeared on Jin Rui's lips, and a voice sounded faintly above his head, "It's not that you don't dare, but that you know your identity."
"Yes. The Phantom will never forget the Lord's life-saving grace and kindness of knowing him until he dies!" These words came from the bottom of his heart, and they were also a demonic obstacle that he could not overcome.
Jin Rui seemed to be very satisfied with the man's answer. He slowly straightened up, swept across the smoke-filled lake outside the pavilion, and stepped out of the pavilion. "I'll give you three months. When the time limit is up, if she still has a change of heart, If you are elsewhere, then-kill without mercy!"

That night, brother Shu Wuluan angrily slapped Yan Qisha. He thought that the task of entrusting the empress to her was completely messed up, but he didn't expect that after the morning court the next day, there was news that the man had asked to be promoted to the governor's seat. Shiling Ge Shu Wuluan was both stunned and puzzled.
Just yesterday, Pei An, who heard that the monarch had awarded him the official seal and saw that the position of top leader almost fell to his own camp, was stunned by this sudden reversal of the situation and became extremely angry!
A few nights later, the air was extremely hot and muggy, and there was no wind, as if a heavy rain was brewing.
At this moment, a slender figure was kneeling under the jade steps outside Longyuan Palace.
As a dull sound of "bang" came at the right time, the slender figure could not help but stiffen slightly, and slowly raised his head to look at the huge open door of the palace, his haggard face showed no trace of emotion.
The concubine followed the monarch slowly out of the palace, lowered her head and glanced at Princess Jiule who was kneeling at the foot of the steps. Her eyes fell on her unevenly cut hair, and her brows instantly furrowed.
Quietly looking at the monarch next to him, he saw that his complexion was livid, his lips were tightly pursed, and there were cold cracks at the corners of his mouth, knowing that his anger was about to explode.
"Le'er, quickly admit your mistake to your father." The concubine reminded her in a deep voice, hoping that she would soften her attitude immediately before the situation got out of hand. She would still have room to slow down, otherwise, it would be Hit an egg against a stone.
However, the concubine's hard work was in vain. Princess Jiale raised her head stubbornly and said with a slightly choked voice: "I don't want to marry Pei Yingmin. If my father insists on doing this, I will have to become a nun." !”
She had no other choice but to use this as a bet to force her father to take back his life.
However, she didn't know that being so impulsive would only completely anger the monarch.
"Are you going to cut off your parents' hair and skin and cut off your parents?" The monarch asked coldly with a cold face.
As soon as these words came out, the concubine couldn't help but look shocked.
The monarch's meaning was obvious. If she dared to lose her hair, she would be severing the blood relationship between father and daughter.
Princess Jiule's face paled when she heard this, but she still refused to give in, "This is also what my father forced me to do."
This sarcastic answer immediately made the monarch look angry, "I'll give you two ways; one, marry into the Pei family according to the decree. I will pretend that I didn't see or listen to your sinful actions and rebellious words." Pass. Second, the title will be deposed and demoted to a commoner. The relationship between father and daughter will be ended. You will not even set foot in the palace until death!"
After hearing such a choice, the monarch undoubtedly left her some room. The concubine hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Le'er must have chosen to be married in peace..."
Clinker, before he finished speaking, he was taken over by the woman, with a decisive tone, "The common people are here to thank the king for his success."
After saying this, he bowed his head deeply and kowtowed three times.
It wasn't until this moment that she understood that her father was God, and those who defied God would not end well!
Brother Wang is right, her love for Ge Shu is not tolerated by the world at all. If this matter is exposed, this abnormal love will only bring shame to the royal family and put Ge Shu in danger.
But she can't let go of her obsession and marry someone she doesn't like. In this case, this result is undoubtedly the best. At least she breaks away from the worldly vision and the shackles of the palace, and can freely hide in the corner and secretly fall in love with her beloved. man of.
As for Geshu... she doesn't know her feelings for her. After all, she wasn't sure that she would accept it.
Thinking of this, a bitter yet gratified smile appeared on the woman's lips. At the same time, a violent roar came from her ears, "Tang Xi, expel her from the palace immediately!"
Immediately afterwards, the horrified voice of the concubine came, "Please take back your life..."
Gradually the sound faded away, replaced by noisy footsteps, 'bang', and the palace door closed...
The chamberlain Tang Xi sighed, took a few steps forward, and said solemnly: "Princess, please..."
"My father-in-law forgot, I am... not a princess anymore." The woman smiled bitterly and struggled to stand up, dragging her numb legs and staggering away from the place.
Everything began to fall into silence, a dull silence.
Brother Shu Wuluan, who was standing in the shadow, looked at the desolate and lonely figure fading away. He waved his hand and ordered: "Lei, come out of the palace for me."
Xia Xuefenglei, who had just recovered from his injury recently, had not yet returned to his normal complexion. He slightly raised his pale handsome face, stared at the distant figure, lowered his eyes and clasped his fists, and said knowingly: "I understand."
At the end of July, Zhongfu.
It's summer now, the weather is crazy hot, the blazing sun is scorching the earth, making people reluctant to go out.
Since morning, the cicada has been hiding in the treetops, shouting and chirping irritably. There is no wind around, and the air is stuffy and tight.
Due to the lack of rain recently, people's crops suffered from severe drought, and most of them withered to death. This made the king worried, so he thought of going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for rain.
