Guard A looked at where Lin Bao had just walked in confusion and said, "It's strange. Just now, Eunuch Bao said she was going to the Imperial Study Room, but why did she go in the opposite direction?"
Guard B yawned and said disapprovingly: "It's the opposite direction, I remember it's that direction!"
Hearing this, Guard A said firmly: "You remember it wrong? Eunuch Bao must have gone to the wrong place!"
Seeing how determined he was, Guard B also became confident and said, "Nonsense, Eunuch Bao did not go to the wrong place, it was the imperial study room that went to the wrong place!"
Guard Jia囧: Brother, are you sure you made the mistake of "leaving" the Imperial Study Room
However, at this moment, Gu Rufeng hurriedly chased out, looked at the two guards, and said anxiously: "Did you see Eunuch Bao go out?"
"...I saw it. Eunuch Bao also said that the emperor summoned her to the imperial study." Guard A said truthfully.
Hearing this, Gu Rufeng was stunned. With Lian Che's temperament, how could he summon Lin Bao to the imperial study room in the middle of the night regardless of Lin Bao's safety? Moreover, even if she wants to go, she should find someone to go with her, right
Suspicious in his heart, Gu Rufeng frowned and said, "Do you know which way Mr. An is going?"
Guard A pointed his finger, "Which side -"
Gu Rufeng couldn't help but be startled when he looked in that direction. As far as he knew, the road there was in the opposite direction to the imperial study room! But why did Lin Bao lie to the guards
—Nima, if I had known that Lin Bao would come out in the middle of the night, he wouldn’t have stopped taking a nap! If something happened to Lin Bao, his master wouldn't cut him into pieces!
By the time the two guards reacted, Gu Rufeng had already chased Lin Bao.
Looking at the wind-like figure, Guard A sighed: "Sure enough, the supporting characters with names are all very skilled, it's not like the two of us just have to play a part-time role! However, according to me, Guard Gu must have gone after Eunuch Bao. !”
"So, Eunuch Bao didn't go to the imperial study?" Guard B asked in confusion.
Guard A nodded, and just as he was thinking about whether to tell the emperor about this, he saw a dark shadow passing in front of their eyes, heading straight towards Gu Rufeng.
After being stunned for a long time, Guard B swallowed and bumped Guard A with his elbow, "Hey - that person is the Emperor's stand-in, right? If I hadn't thought that the Emperor was still in the study room, I probably would have thought it was the Emperor. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guard A calmly said: "Well - if it's not a substitute, it's the Emperor himself."
—Because his emperor doesn’t even bother to use a substitute!
But, did the emperor get the news when he was a genius

When Lian Che caught up with Gu Rufeng, he happened to see Lin Bao, who was stunned on the spot. She was staring at the palace maid uniform on the ground, her eyes full of horror, and her body was still shaking slightly, as if she was blown by the night wind. Seems to be frightened.
Without thinking too much, Lian Che quickly took off his clothes and put them on her body, hugged her in his arms, reached out and brushed the long hair around her ears, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Lin Bao grabbed the clothes around his waist and pulled hard, but no matter how Lian Che asked, she pursed her lips tightly and refused to reveal anything.
Gu Rufeng, who was on the side, glanced at the palace maid's uniform on the ground, stepped forward and took it in his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then looked at Lian Che, "Master, it's Wen Su's."
Wen Su
Lian Che frowned. Looking at her reaction, he had already guessed it. He stretched out his hand and gestured to Gu Rufeng, meaning to let him go down to investigate the matter thoroughly. Then he picked up Lin Bao and took a big step. Went back.
Gu Rufeng took the clothes in his arms, reached out to explore the remaining warmth inside, closed his eyes and sniffed sensitively, and then chased in the direction where the man left just now.
Along the way, Lin Bao buried her little face in his arms, with a hint of timidity in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lian Che felt a little pain at the tip of his heart. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead and said, "Bao'er, I'm here, it's okay."
I am here…
Lin Bao suddenly raised his head and looked into his eyes. He suddenly remembered what he said to her today. His heart sank suddenly and his voice trembled: "...did you already know this?"
Lian Che frowned, not knowing what she was talking about. After all, he knew so many things about Wen Su that he couldn't answer her "yes" or "no" for a while.
Seeing his silence, Lin Bao just thought he had acquiesced, and his eyes were a little sour, "You know, why don't you tell me?"
—If he had told her in advance, she might have been mentally prepared and not be afraid of being like this.
Lian Che looked a little guilty when he looked at her, pursed his lips, stopped, held her in his arms, looked into her eyes seriously, and said, "Bao'er, there are things that you don't know to be better off."
"But don't you hate other people's deception and betrayal the most? Since you hate it yourself, why do you do the same thing to me? Aren't you afraid that I will hate you too!" She was slightly annoyed, but her tone was Unprecedented grievance and stubbornness.
Somehow, since she became pregnant, her temper has become increasingly difficult to control, and she will even be so sensitive to little things that she can't sleep. Although she has tried to control her emotions, she may not be able to control her temper. I would call it emotion.
Xu was choked by her words. Lian Che didn't know what to say to her for a moment. He sighed and said, "Bao'er, it was my fault before. I didn't think that hiding it would cause you more harm." ,But-"
He paused, nodded and kissed the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and continued: "But, I am doing it for your own good. The imperial doctor said that you should not have too many mood swings during pregnancy, otherwise it will affect the baby, so That’s why I kept everything secret from you. I originally planned to wait until I had time to tell you slowly, but what I didn’t expect was that you would find out so soon.”
-And such a result was something he had never expected.
Lin Bao's mood calmed down a little because of his words "I'm doing this for your own good." Facing his sincere eyes, she sniffed and said dullly: "Then you can't hide it from me anymore. Even if If there is really something you can’t tell me, then you should hide it from me for the rest of your life and don’t let me have a chance to know, otherwise—”
She raised her face, hooked her hands around his neck, bit his chin gently, and then continued: "Otherwise, I will not forgive you."
Hearing this, Lian Che was startled for a moment, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Well, I'll keep other things from you for the rest of my life."
Lin Bao nodded and continued to nest in his arms. Perhaps he was a little tired, and soon fell asleep in his arms.
Lian Che held her in his arms and walked along the silent palace road, his mind buzzing. It was really hard to imagine what would happen if she knew that thing in the future, but before she knew anything else, he had to find out her identity first!
Although she said she wanted to retrieve those memories by herself, he always felt that something was wrong. Just in case, he decided to ask Gu Rufeng to check her life experience first, and then accompany her to help her. It's not too late to retrieve her memory.
Just - "Bao'er, are you hiding anything from me?" He murmured in a low voice.

Three days later, the wedding of Nian Hua and Yan Chuchu was held in the Yuanyang Hall, the place where emperors of all generations held weddings in the palace. In fact, according to convention, although Nian Hua was crowned king, he was not a direct relative of the royal family, so a wedding should be held. It was held in his Prince An's Mansion, but the date was too tight, the newly built Prince An's Mansion had not yet been completed, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was too shabby, so Lian Che had no choice but to break the convention and let the wedding be held in the Yuanyang Palace.
The Yuanyang Palace is not the place where emperors canonize concubines. This place is sacred and solemn. Historically, only concubine conferring ceremonies held by emperors can be held here. Ordinary concubines, even noble concubines, are not qualified to enter.
Looking at the gorgeous decoration in front of her, Lin Bao was a little overwhelmed. Although the decoration in Chaoyang Palace was already considered to be the best in the palace, in her opinion, the decoration in Yuanyang Palace was even better than that in Chaoyang Palace. a little better.
However, when all the guests entered, they all looked respectful and pious, and were very cautious in every move, for fear that if they were not careful, they would desecrate this sacred place.
Lin Bao and Lian Che were sitting in the high hall, watching the guests take their seats one after another, and the palace people were also moving through the crowd in an orderly manner. Eunuch An led a group of older palace people to carefully check whether there were any flaws in the venue.
Originally, the ceremony could be held indoors. Lian Che didn't want Lin Bao to cool off in the wind outside. She was about to agree, but Lin Bao objected. In her opinion, if the wedding was held outdoors, , you can also sprinkle some flower petals for a little romance, but if it is indoors, it will inevitably be a bit stuffy.
Lian Che had no choice but to do what she wanted.
Suddenly, there was the sound of joyful music approaching. Lin Bao and the guests who were sitting neatly followed the sound and saw the wedding sedan carried by 18 people stopped steadily at the entrance of the palace. Immediately, the bride stepped forward to support the bride. After walking out, under the gaze of everyone, he carefully stepped through a series of tedious details such as the brazier, and then walked to stand in front of Nianhua. The two held hands and walked slowly towards Lian Che, who was in the high hall.
Looking at Nian Hua's attire, Lin Bao felt that he was extremely stunning. The prosperous groom's suit that symbolized happiness was worn on him. Different from the previous elegance and indifference, the whole person added a sense of stunning. The young minister's daughter was almost blinded by his surprise.
However, what Lin Bao couldn't figure out was that Nianhua's face did not reveal a hint of joy. Although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, the smile was a completely formulaic smile. Looking at his eyes again, there was something more inside. It is so deep that there is no end in sight.
Lin Bao couldn't help but be surprised, was he really happy like this
However, it is not her who has the final say whether he is happy or not. In the future, his path will have to be decided by himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the two of them arriving.
