"Do you blame me?" Xiao Yu's Adam's apple moved slightly.
"How dare the concubine have resentment against His Majesty."
"Don't you dare to complain?"
Qin Xue said softly: "The Su family was in such a situation at that time, His Majesty was willing to protect his servants and concubines, and he was willing to save his elder brother's life. It was already thinking of the past feelings and giving extrajudicial graces. I can only blame myself and my elder brother for recognizing a thief as a father and not knowing people clearly."
Xiao Yu grasped her words and asked in a low voice, "The love in the past, do you still read it?"
Qin Jie replied: "This is a holy grace, and the concubine naturally recites it."
A gentle word, I don't know if it is pulling people closer or pushing people away.
There was silence all around, and the sound of breathing became extraordinarily real.
Xiao Yu pondered for a long time, the hand that fell on her waist suddenly slid upward, and Qin Jie's back froze with his movements. In the past, when their love was strong, they did a lot of things about bedding, so that when Xiao Yu made a move, Qin Jie knew what he was going to do.
The man lowered his head to kiss her neck, his breathing became heavier and heavier, Xiaoyi was as vulnerable as he remembered, and in a blink of an eye, he didn't know where he was swept up.
Xiao Yu straightened her body, leaned over and pressed her up, shackled her crotch with the palm of his hand, and bit her lips again and again. The hand is strong, but the kiss is light.
Every action of his is very similar to the past, just like he did it deliberately, and his fingers caressed the place where she used to be so ashamed that she buried her face on his shoulder, but now, Qin Jie just put her hand on his empty hand. On his back, he didn't even want to take a breath.
The reaction of the two is as if one is desperately looking for the shadow of the past, while the other wants to stay in the present.
The taste here is indescribable, but it is clear in his heart, and Xiao Yu can't pretend to be confused.
He pressed his lips against hers and said, "don't you want to?"
Qin Jie tilted her head to hide, her anger was gossamer, "Another day, okay? Chen concubine today..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yu let go of her, sat up, and went to the clean room without saying a word, and the hot wipe disappeared between her legs.
Qin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
From a distance, I heard Xiao Yu say to the outside: "Sheng Kanghai, send water in."
"Hey, this servant is here!" With such a happy tone, although there was a door behind him, he seemed to be able to see the curvature of the corner of Eunuch Sheng's mouth. It's a pity that this water supply is not another water supply.
Qin Jie stared at Fang Liang and looked at Xu Yu, and sat up as well. She took out the underwear from the quilt and put it on again.
When Xiao Yu came back from the clean room, the candle in the inner room was rekindled, and Qin Jie sat quietly by the couch and waited for him.
With a straight back, she looked respectful and respectful, but Xiao Yu glanced at it and knew that she had something to say.
Xiao Yu walked over, sat beside her, and said solemnly, "Speak."
Qin Xun clenched her hand on her lap and said softly, "My concubine knows that Your Majesty has always disliked the interference of the harem in the affairs of the previous dynasty."
Xiao Yu turned his head to look at her, as if he did not expect her to say this.
"Could I beg Your Majesty to make an exception and tell my concubine everything related to the Su family and Tantai Yi in the future?" Qin Xue added: "My parents' enmity, my concubine dare not forget."
"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Yu turned the white jade finger on his hand and said, "I didn't intend to hide these things from you."
Qin Jie looked back at him with some surprise, "Then... I will thank your majesty first."
Looking at each other, the chill in Xiao Yu's eyes dissipated, and the two lay down face to face. The atmosphere was obviously better than before. Before closing his eyes, Xiao Yu whispered, "I will give justice to the Su family."
The emperor made up his relics as well as others. His words and deeds attracted the attention of the world, and the Su family was wronged. No matter how many reasons were behind it, as long as the case was re-examined, Xiao Yushao would have to be added by the historian for an oversight.
Qin Jie raised her eyes to look at him.
They both seem to understand what each other is thinking.
"Just follow the way the historian writes, I'm used to it." Xiao Yu took her into his arms and said slowly: "I have been on the throne for four years. During these four years, I lost a battle once, and 60,000 soldiers died because of it, and then I It was the snow disaster, the locust plague, the flood disaster, the earthquake, and I wrote six times just because of my own decree."
The so-called decree of guilt is the document of the emperor's self-examination in the face of natural disasters in the country and crisis in the court. Even when it rained heavily and the food production was reduced, he had to review whether it was a loss of morality and anger from heaven.
Xiao Yu was silent for a long time before he said, "A-Ling, maybe I'm really an emperor with bad luck."
This light tone was inexplicably pitiful, and Qin Xue couldn't help comforting him: "Your Majesty has the world in his heart, is diligent in government and loves the people, and he is the master of Ming."
Qin Yue rubbed his shoulders.
"Do you really think so?"
Qin Yu gave a serious "um".
Xiao Yu put his hand on her chest, rubbed it casually, and pondered, "I'm sleepy." After that, he closed his eyes to himself.
Qin Xun lowered her eyes and looked at the palm that just fit with the arc, her heartbeat couldn't help a little heavier.
Xiao Yu calmly counted her heartbeat, and said in his heart: Ah Ling, I know what you think, but I am not willing to be a monarch with you, so I can only count on you again.

The next day, when Qin Jie woke up, the bed was empty.
She sat up, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, inexplicably felt that something was missing, but she couldn't remember it for a while. After washing, she suddenly realized "ah".
They slept in the same bed last night, and they didn't have those weird dreams.
But think about it, they haven't seen each other since he set out to fight.
Qin Jie rubbed her shoulders and was about to call someone when she saw Zhu Xin hurried in and said with a smile, "Master, the imperial decree has arrived."
Qin Wei frowned and said, "The imperial decree?"
Zhu Xin said with a smile, "My lady, come out to receive the order."
As soon as the title was changed, Qin Xue immediately understood.
The scorching sun was shining, the birds flapping their wings on the treetops, Qin Jie knelt on the ground, Sheng Gonggong slowly unfolded the imperial decree, and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said, Qin's kindness and kindness, gentleness and kindness, won the honor. My heart, therefore Jin is Qin Zhaoyi."
I have to say that this imperial decree is really direct enough. In the final analysis, although concubines and concubines are promoted, they are all graces, but there is still a pretense. For example, there is a child in the womb, such as the mother's meritorious service; such as the queen mother likes it; another example is the New Year's festival.
The four words that have won my heart, that is, I saw a lot during the Yongchang years.
Eunuch Sheng bowed and said with a smile: "My lady, please accept the order."
"Chen and concubine kowtow to thank the emperor." Qin Yu took the imperial edict with both hands.
Eunuch Sheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given you a lot of other things, and Ning Shangyi will bring them to the empress later."
Qin Xue said, "Thank you father-in-law."

After noon, Zhulan put a plate of exquisite peanut and walnut cakes in front of Qin Xun, and said, "The first division of the sixth bureau and the supervisor of Li have all come here, the empress didn't see it, and those who laughed, just laughed. It's like a begonia blooming in our yard."
Qin Jie turned around and took out a money bag, and said, "Everyone in Jingren Palace has a reward, let's divide it up later."
Zhulan took it and said, "Hey, this servant knows."
While serving the tea, Zhulan whispered: "To say that the first division of the six innings is too good at watching people serve dishes, since Concubine Li was deprived of her title and downgraded to a talented person, they have deducted the case of Ji Shuyuan. Down." Zhulan didn't dare to say the rest.
In this palace, it's okay to deduct spring and summer, but if it's winter, and charcoal fire is deducted, it's unclear whether it will survive next year.
"What did you say?" Qin Wei frowned and said, "Li Cairen?"
Zhu Lan said, "Your maiden still doesn't know about this?"
Qin Yu shook her head.
It was only then that Zhulan remembered that on the day Concubine Li was abolished, her mother was still ill, and she went out of the palace with the emperor soon after waking up. It was normal to not know.
Qin Yan said, "What's going on?"
Zhu Lan said: "The day the Empress was not feeling well, Xianfu Palace suddenly spread news, after His Majesty read it, he went to Changchun Palace, and then Concubine Li was demoted to a talented person. But the Xianfu Palace has lifted the ban."
Qin Yu's eyes were slightly startled.
Gao Li is loyal to Da Zhou Xiang, he is, personally moved Li Yuan
Zhulan coaxed Qin Yan and said, "To speak of holy favor, who in this palace can't compare to the empress? When His Majesty left this morning, he specially instructed the servants not to wake up the empress."
"In less than a year after the empress entered the palace, she was sealed as Zhaoyi, and she will give birth to a child in the future to make a contribution..."
Qin Jie interrupted her and said, "Go get the needle and thread, I haven't finished the first prince's coat."
Zhulan noticed the slip of the tongue and got up and said, "Yes."
—
In the evening of the next day, Qin Xue was threading a needle by candlelight, and Eunuch Sheng came to Jingren Palace.
Eunuch Sheng dragged a peach wood box and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty specially ordered that the empress can only see the contents of this box by herself."
Qin Xun glanced suspiciously at Eunuch Sheng, screened out the palace servants, and opened it carefully—
Inside the peach wood hollowed-out wooden box, there is a waiter's clothes.
Qin Xue's eyes lit up, and she lowered her voice and said, "This is?"
Eunuch Sheng said meaningfully: "The maiden will follow the servants to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve."
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
It goes without saying who is there tonight.
Qin Xue followed Eunuch Sheng to the west.
The interior of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was brightly lit, and before entering the door, he heard Lu Ze's voice, "Report to Your Majesty, this second list has been completed."
Eunuch Sheng handed the tea to Qin Wei, and said with a choked voice, "Take it in."
Qin Wei pushed open the door and entered, Xiao Yu raised his eyes and glanced.
Her steps were very light. When she passed behind Lu Ze, the aroma of camellias spread from her hair, and Lu Ze looked at Qin Jie keenly.
Thin white hands, a slender neck, and a waist that is more than a circle thinner than that of the maid.
When Eunuch Sheng was not there, Qin Xue was the servant who served the emperor's tea. Unexpectedly, she took up the teapot. Lu Ze suddenly drew his knife, and with a twist of his wrist, a cold light suddenly appeared. Between the electric light and flint, the curved cap on Qin Xue's head She was cut to the ground, her long black hair like a waterfall scattered on her shoulders.
Momo's apricot eyes instantly filled with panic.
An embroidered spring knife pressed against her neck: "Who is it!"
Xiao Yu and Su Huaian spoke almost at the same time, "Lu Yanqing! Put down the knife!"
Lu Ze was particularly sensitive to Xiao Yu's voice, and immediately moved the blade half an inch away.
Xiao Yu was so defensive about the three people in front of him that he didn't expect to make such a scene at all. He strode forward, grabbed Qin Yue's chin, and rubbed her neck with his thumb repeatedly, "Are you hurt?"
Qin Jie shook her head, "No, no."
Seeing this, Lu Ze's body froze, and the embroidered spring knife fell to the ground with a bang.
He was 110,000 who did not expect that the emperor could bring a woman to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to discuss matters.
He immediately knelt on the ground, "This minister is guilty, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him."
Xiao Yusu and Huaian looked at Lu Ze together, the cold light in his eyes was a bit sharper than the embroidered spring knife on the ground.
Qin Wei quickly grabbed Xiao Yu's wrist and said, "Commander Lu, please get up quickly."
Lu didn't dare to move.
Xiao Yu whispered: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as Lu Ze raised his eyes, his knees softened. The courtiers had never seen the concubine, but he Lu Yanqing had seen the princess of Jin!
And it is not uncommon.
The Empress Yuan has passed away, so this... This is the Qin Zhaoyi who was rumored to have entered the palace for less than a year, and who "graduated" with just one face
Lu Ze bowed and said, "It was the minister who offended the empress."
Seeing that Lu Ze was like a frosted eggplant, Qin Xue couldn't help but smile a little, "You don't need to be more polite, Lord Hou."
Lu Ze murmured in his heart: This look, this smile, this tone... It's exactly the same as Empress Su.
He suddenly understood why the emperor was "stunned" today.
Xiao Yu glanced at her and guessed that she didn't want to hide from Lu Ze, so that's fine, the case of the Su family didn't happen overnight.
Xiao Yu said lightly: "A Ling, come and see the name book."
Hearing this title, Lu Ze was indeed a little uncomfortable, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arms, and he glanced at Su Huaian cautiously.
Gee.
How uncomfortable this is.
