With his hand held like this, Qin Xue didn't dare to sleep anymore.
She only felt that the person around her was abnormal, and that there was something strange...
Xiao Yu rubbed her fingertips back and forth with his fingertips, and said softly, "Can't sleep?"
Qin Xue told the truth: "I just woke up not long ago... I'm really not sleepy..."
Xiao Yu turned his head and glanced at her.
Qin Xue said again, "If it delays His Majesty's rest, why not move to the Nuan Pavilion tonight?"
"No need." Xiao Yu paused for a while, then said lightly, "Since you can't sleep, let's play chess with me."
Play chess
Wouldn't it be to test her chess skills again
Qin Xie bit her lower lip and said softly, "Kechen's concubine's chess skills are not good, I'm really afraid that it will spoil your Majesty's interest."
Xiao Yu turned over, put his hand on her waist, and patted it at will, "It's okay, I won't go down, I will teach you."
Qin Xue looked at him in horror.
I couldn't figure it out for a while, what was he trying to do tonight
Is Xue Lanyi exorcising ghosts or recruiting ghosts? Why is this person also like a demon
When the emperor made a message, he had to obey.
After a while, Eunuch Sheng greeted the palace servants with a smile on his mouth, and brought in the chessboard and hot tea.
The two sat opposite each other across the chess table.
Just like many years ago, Xiao Yu gave Bai Zi to her.
Then he said casually: "You come first, I will give you three moves."
As soon as these words fell, Qin Jie was slightly stunned.
A picture from a long time ago was suddenly pulled before my eyes.
Xiao Yu's chess skills are as unfathomable as his people, and it is difficult to meet an opponent. Every time she plays against him, she ends up in a disastrous defeat.
Can you play chess? The most interesting thing is the game process where you come and go.
Always lose, who is willing to play with him
She always vented her anger at night. She pressed her hand to his chest and asked him why he wouldn't let her take three steps.
And that man always put her wrist on her waist without any reason, and said with a smile, "A Ling, don't bother me, I'm willing to admit defeat."
…
Qin Xue returned to her senses, took out three white stones, and slowly dropped them.
Xiao Yu followed suit.
Playing chess does have its benefits.
Qin Jie's heart gradually calmed down, she held Bai Zi in her hand, and while dealing with the strange man in front of her, she followed the recent events.
Since entering the palace, she has never thought of confessing her identity.
First, she really didn't have any intention of reconnecting with him.
Second, she didn't dare to bet on the emperor's favor. Once she recognized it, she would still be the daughter of the sinner. Even if he had affection for her, how far could that affection go? There are 60,000 lives between them, and telling the truth is tantamount to putting the handle in his hands.
The third is the most important point.
Only when Empress Su dies and the Su family's administration perishes, can the emperor feel at ease and treat Xiao Yun kindly.
60,000 wronged souls died on the battlefield, and the holy wrath of the past is still in front of us. Su Huaian has not heard from him so far, and she returned to the harem in such an unbelievable way, what should the emperor think? Will he feel that the Su family has other plans, and then coerce her to force Su Huaian to show up
She knew that the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason was unforgivable, but she still had a despicable hope that Su Huaian would survive.
She was careful and took every step of the way, and she was confident that in the name of Qin Xue, she could live a stable life in this harem.
After all, Xiao Yu never believed in these ghosts and gods.
She remembered that in the thirty-eighth year of Yongchang, the capital was in turmoil, and there were many dangers. She went to the temple to pray for him and asked him to wear the consecrated amulet, but he just said to her lightly, "A Ling, if you go to the temple to pray Useful, then my imperial brother, the imperial brother, will definitely flatten the temples and Taoist temples in the capital."
"If you believe this, you might as well believe me."
She never imagined that they would have those dreams.
The first time she dreamed of those old things, she thought it was a coincidence, but it was only three things. She could detect something wrong, and so could he.
With his temperament, once he becomes suspicious, he will definitely investigate himself upside down.
She had seen Xiao Yu handle the case, and he would not let go of any clues.
No matter how clean things are done, there are always loopholes to be found.
For example, when she bought an actor to go back to the mansion, there was a lot of commotion. Those watching the fun in Qingfeng Building didn't know who she was, but Zhuang Sheng knew exactly who she was.
She even made preparations for Xiao Yu to arrest Zhu Ze and April in front of her and question her if she was a spy.
She thought about the words that she would not admit to death.
However he did not do so.
If things outside the palace can be avoided as planned, what about those inside the palace
The emperor was having strange dreams again and again, not to mention that he should immediately find a Taoist priest to do it. At the very least, he should go to other palaces to sleep a few times.
Neither did he.
Thinking of this, Qin Jie finally realized what was so weird.
A person like him who doesn't even believe in gods and Buddhas, obviously doubts himself, but doesn't try to investigate her. Every time he tries her, it's like... I hope she will admit it.
Like waiting for her to admit it.
It's even weirder now.
Even when the two of them were most in love, he didn't have the patience to coax himself into playing chess.
Did he really find out
Did he deliberately lure her into taking the bait and let her relax
Her thoughts were flying, and when she was at a loss, she was interrupted by a chuckle from the man.
Qin Xue raised her head abruptly and met his smiling pupils.
"I told you to make three moves." Xiao Yu glanced at the chessboard and said, "But you are too unreasonable."
Qin Jie looked down and her cheeks flushed red.
She took more than three steps, and the chessboard was full of white pieces.
The man opposite spoke again: "What did you think just now?"
Qin Jie coughed again and again, and said: "Chen concubine, Chen concubine... I have been frightened for the past two days, and I am a little distracted... I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"I didn't blame you."
Qin Xue said, "Then why don't you... do it all over again?"
Xiao Yu rubbed his fingertips, as if thinking about her words.
He threw the pieces back into the chess basket and said to her, "If you are tired, just rest."
Qin Xue naturally should be.
She looked at his back and rubbed her brows regretfully.
The two returned to the couch again.
Qin Yan felt uneasy and still had trouble sleeping. She thought it might be better to pretend to be asleep. If she didn't sleep, they wouldn't dream.
Without dreaming, he would be able to doubt her by two points.
She was motionless, breathing very shallowly, pretending to sleep.
Of course, half an hour later, he turned over, and the man's hot breath sprayed on her neck.
Qin Xue couldn't help froze.
Xiao Yu whispered: "If you are really afraid, how about moving to Jingren Palace?"
His voice was as cold as ever, but what he said was a wooden man, and his tenderness could be heard.
The tenderness of the emperor, even if it is only a moment and a half, is what many people can't ask for,
But Qin Jie was trembling all over by his temperature.
What is he going to do...
When she was at a loss, a sentence sounded in her ear. It was what she heard while eating grapes while her father taught Su Huaian to read military books.
Su Jingbei said: "Jing Ming, always defending is not a good thing, sometimes attacking is the best defense."
After that, her father knocked her on the head with the scroll, "A Ling, do you remember?"
Pretending to be unable to sleep, Qin Ei turned over and looked at him, with the shyness that a concubine should have on her face, and cautiously called out, "Your Majesty."
Then he made persistent efforts, took another step forward, hugged him, buried his face in his chest, and whispered softly in a tone that he had never experienced in his life: "Why does your majesty treat your concubine so well?"
There was no disappointment in the man's eyes, and he didn't push her away, but raised his hand and stroked her soft hair.
The man's thin lips pursed slightly, and he said in his heart: It's okay to forget, if you remember everything, you won't think like this.
—
The next day, after Xiao Yu left, Qin Wei immediately lay back on the couch.
She really stayed up all night.
Just as she was about to make up her sleep, she heard Changge knock on the door and said, "Jieyu, Concubine Xue invites you to sit down at Xianfu Palace."
Concubine Xue.
Only then did Qin Jie remember what happened yesterday.
Not to mention what idea Xue Lanyi came up with, but yesterday she came to Jingyang Palace to do something, and she really didn't have any intention of harming her.
However, she fainted in full view.
But it was still when the emperor questioned.
Xue Lanyi lost face, and if she didn't come to find her fault today, it would not be Xue Lanyi.
@Foam
The emperor's overnight stay in her palace is already eye-catching, and Qin Xue is not stupid enough to fight against Xue Lanyi.
She turned to face the bronze mirror, took out a brown-red bottle, poured the white powder into her hands, and applied it to the under eyes and lips respectively.
Turning around again, she seemed to have turned into a delicate flower in the wind and rain, shaky.
Qin Xue said quietly, "Come in."
Changge pushed in the door, raised his eyes, and said in surprise, "Jieyu, what's wrong?"
Qin Xie stood up tremblingly, and said weakly, "I didn't want to be sick to the concubine Xue Fei, but since the concubine asked me, I naturally couldn't refuse it."
