Concubine Zhen said in a trembling voice: "Do you look down on me either... you don't even want to say something to me, right?"

I smiled and said, "Why did Concubine Zhen say this? In Yinkong's mind, the identity is no different from that of a biological mother. How can there be any son in the world look down on his mother?" In fact, Zhenfei and I are only three years apart. According to my age, I can call her sister at most, but there are different generations. Not to mention three years old, even if it is three hours, I will treat her with courtesy.

Zhenfei said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, tonight should be the Lantern Festival. At this time last year, I was still watching the lanterns with the emperor at Wanhualou, but now..."

Only then did I notice that the rosewood table in the room was filled with wine and food, and two dishes, and it seemed that Concubine Zhen was going to enjoy it with her father.

Concubine Zhen stood up and said, "From noon today, I will prepare the dinner for the emperor in the kitchen. General Manager Duolong specially told me to prepare the dish of 'Farewell My Concubine' for the emperor..." Her voice began to tremble: "How could I have thought that... this was actually a taboo in the life of the emperor..."

I already understood the whole story of this matter. It turned out that the chief manager Duolong was making trouble. Then I thought about it. It was not surprising that Duolong was a confidant promoted by Empress Xiaocheng. Empress Xiaocheng has always regarded Concubine Zhen as a thorn in her eyes and a thorn in her flesh. For the sake of her master, how could he let Concubine Zhen seize this opportunity to be favored again?

Seeing the appearance of Zhenfei Qi Aiai, no wonder the ancients said: Since ancient times, there have been many resentful wives in the deep palace. In order to win the favor of the emperor, who did not have any intrigue and tried their best, but how many people are truly favored? How long can they last after being favored?

Zhenfei said: "If you don't mind the cold food and the wine, what if you have two drinks with me?"

I nodded. I made an illusion that I didn’t drink in front of all the emperors. My alcohol content was very good, and I had never tasted drunk since I was seven years old.

Concubine Zhen and I sat down at the table.

Concubine Zhen gently filled me with fine wine, and filled me with a glass, and said softly: "You need to have fun in life, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

But I remembered the saying "Walking to drown my sorrows, I feel even more sad."

We touched the wine glasses and drank the glass of Chinese wine in one go.

A pot of fine wine soon came to an end. Concubine Zhen was already a little drunk and calmed down a lot. When she saw the scroll in my arms, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the drawing on it?"

I shook my head. Since Cao Rui gave Caixue, we have not had time to unfold the painting, and I don’t know what was drawn on it.

"Show me!" Zhenfei's snow-white and jade-like slender hand stretched towards me, so I naturally couldn't refuse and handed the ancient painting to her.

Concubine Zhen slowly unfolded, and I also came over, but saw that there were more than ten pairs of villains with different postures on the ancient painting. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a picture *.

Concubine Zhen's pretty face turned red and she said softly: "Good you Yinkong, you actually see these things at a young age."

I didn't expect that there was such an unbearable pattern on it, but I didn't know how Cao Rui gave * to Caixue. I immediately thought about whether Concubine Zhen thought I was deliberately showing * to her.

I hurriedly rolled up the ancient painting and was about to apologize.

At this time, Yusuo prepared the hot water and came to the hall: "Imperial Concubine, the hot water is ready."

Concubine Zhen nodded: "Suoer, go and rest quickly."

Yusuo looked at me and walked towards the side hall tactfully.

I picked up the ancient painting and saluted to Concubine Zhen and said, "Don't blame Concubine Zhen. I really don't know that these things are drawn on the ancient paintings. I will use them to burn them immediately!"

Concubine Zhen said softly: "Don't burn it out. I saw that the villain was very exquisitely painted. Maybe this ancient painting is a treasure, but it may not be known..."

My heart moved, and I met the water-like gaze of Concubine Zhen, and I hurriedly lowered my head.

Concubine Zhen stood up and said, "I'll go take a shower..." She suddenly exclaimed, and her delicate body fell softly to the ground. I stretched out my arms and hugged her delicate body in time.

Concubine Zhen actually hugged me with her backhand, and her elastic body snuggled into my arms. The ancient painting fell from my hand to the ground, and I tightened my body mechanically.

Zhenfei's scorching lips gently kissed my neck, and her soft tongue slowly wandered along the muscles of my neck.

My blood suddenly rushed to my head, and the remaining reason was still making the final insistence: "Empress, I..." Before I could finish my words, Zhenfei had already pulled my hand into her warm and plump chest.

I suddenly hugged Zhenfei into my arms with all my strength, hugged her delicate body and walked towards the bed...

Concubine Zhen and I snuggled up to each other in the hot pool. After the fanaticism just now, I left me with deep fear. I was very clear about the precepts in the palace. If Concubine Zhen and I spread the story tonight, what awaits us is not just beheading us.

Concubine Zhen stood up from the water like a lotus from the water, and her slender legs gracefully stepped out of the pool. The water droplets fell along her long black hair and fell on her beautiful and flawless naked back, forming an indescribable scene.

She reached out and pushed open the wooden lattice window, and there was still heavy snow flying outside.

"Be careful of catching a cold!" I whispered.

Concubine Zhen turned around and smiled at me: "Yinkong! Will you forget me?"

I shook my head. This was the first time in my life. How could I forget it? But I would rather forget it...

Zhenfei carefully wiped the water stains on my body with a bath towel, and her slender hands gently stroked my strong chest: "You are not as weak as you appear."

I smiled faintly, and I put on my coat under her servitude, and we came to the outer hall hand in hand.

Concubine Zhen leaned over and picked up the ancient painting, and I whispered: "If you like it, you can stay."

Concubine Zhen shook her head slowly and handed the ancient painting back to me: "For me, keeping memories is more real than anything else."

I looked at her blankly, suddenly leaned down, held her pretty face with both hands, and kissed her lips hard. Our lips and tongues were tightly intertwined, as if they were all integrated into this affectionate kiss.

After a long time, we separated. Zhenfei whispered: "It's late at night, it's time for you to go back and rest!"

I nodded silently, turned around and walked out of the door, walked outside the door, turned around and saw Zhenfei still standing in the snow in red palace outfit.

After leaving Shude Palace, Yi An suddenly emerged from the darkness, which scared me.

"Little Master!" Yi An raised his umbrella to cover the falling snow in the sky for me.

I held him and walked towards Qingyue Palace in a hurry until I was far away from the courtyard wall of Shude Palace. Only then did Yi An carefully say to me: "Don't worry, little master, no one has passed by tonight!"

I could naturally hear the meaning of Yi An's words, and stared at him fiercely and said, "No matter how little you say, others will not treat you as a mute!" Yi An hurriedly lowered his head. I had no worries about Yi An. He and Yan Ping were the two confidants left to me by my mother. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have grown up smoothly in this step-by-step palace.

Although the matter has passed, I can never forget it. In the next few days, I spent almost uneasy. Fortunately, Concubine Zhen did not take the initiative to look for me, and the palace walls were still as calm as before. My heart gradually relaxed. Concubine Zhen was well aware of the rules in the palace, and she should know how to weigh the pros and cons better than me.

Yanping's visit to her relatives came, and she returned to the palace on time, and Caixue was still living in her home. She praised Caixue, and the smart girl took the initiative to take care of her mother.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month, eight days after I killed Mu Mu, his body was finally discovered.

"Little Master!" Yi An ran in from outside the palace in a panic. I was copying Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface at the table. His sudden appearance made me lose all my efforts in the post.

Yi An immediately understood something from my eyes and said carefully: "Little Master! King Mu is dead, and his body is found in the well in the Queen Qin Garden!"

I pretended to be surprised, put down the wolf's hair and said, "Have you found out the cause of his death?"

Yi Andao: "I haven't received any specific news yet!"

My heart couldn't help but sank. I have been thinking about Concubine Zhen these days, but I have ignored the existence of this matter. Maybe I was deliberately avoiding this matter.

The little eunuch's lonely voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness the Thirty-first Prince!"

I frowned, and hated this difficult-to-mouthed title from the bottom of my heart.

When he walked out the door and saw the lonely and fearless standing in the courtyard, he could be regarded as the most vulgar person in the entire palace, and he was born with a thief's face.

"Your Highness Thirty-one Prince, the Lord asked you to go to Guangde Hall to discuss matters."

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Guangde Hall was the place where the father discussed state affairs. In my memory, he had never asked me to go there. Could it be that the matter of killing King Mu had been exposed? I immediately rejected this idea. If the matter of killing King Mu had been exposed, the one who came to invite me would definitely not be the lonely eunuch.

Luolan said respectfully: "Prince Thirty-one, please follow me immediately."

I nodded, changed my clothes, and followed him to the Guangde Hall.

When I passed by the Jiuqu Long Bridge in front of Shude Palace, I happened to see Zhenfei sitting on the bridge railing accompanied by Yusuo, dazed and dazed. Yusuo saw me, lowered his head and whispered something to Zhenfei. Zhenfei raised her head and looked at me.

My heart was shocked again. It seemed that the relationship between Concubine Zhen and Yusuo's master and servant had reached the point where everything was said. I wonder if Yusuo would let Yusuo know about what happened that night. An unspeakable regret filled my heart, and the price of impulse was often unbearable.

I said to Luoye: "Wait for a moment, and I will come over when I say something to Concubine Zhen." Luoye nodded and stood obediently.

I walked towards Zhenfei in the garden. Zhenfei didn't expect that I would come to meet her on my own initiative, and a trace of tenderness that was not easy to detect was revealed in my eyes.

"Hello Empress Zhen!" I saluted respectfully.

Concubine Zhen waved her hand at me: "No need to be so polite. I have never seen you these days. What are you doing when you hide in Qingyue Palace?" She cleverly used the word "hide" and indirectly pointed out that I have been hiding from her all the time.

Yusuo had already walked towards Luo Yuan with tactfulness. This girl was extremely smart. She not only knew how to walk away at the right time, but also knew how to draw others' attention away.

I smiled silently and whispered: "Miss Zhen, I have been suffering from the cold these days and have been ill in bed."

Zhenfei raised her eyebrows slightly: "So...I am wronging you?"

"Miss Zhen is so caring about her son, and she is so grateful."

Zhenfei's pretty face turned slightly red, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of seductive charm, and she said softly: "If I had a son like you, I would be angry to death by you sooner or later."

The frivolous anger made my heart beat. When I remembered my father's summoning, I hurriedly said, "Father asked us to go to Guangde Hall to discuss matters. My son needs to say goodbye."

Concubine Zhen called me and said, "Yinkong, I heard that King Mu died in the palace of Qin. The emperor called you to go there for 80% of it."

I nodded.

Concubine Zhen said: "You must remember that there are intrigues everywhere in this palace. The more this time, the better the time to kill each other. No matter how others do it, remember to be self-righteous and self-preserving. Do not be too smart in everything. The more cowardly you appear in front of others, the more relaxed you will be." Her concern for me was beyond words.

I'm sure I'll be taught.

When I arrived at Guangde Hall, most of the emperor's brothers and nephews had arrived, and they were talking about the death of King Mu in groups. Except for An Wang Yinxiang, who was about the same age as me, no one else noticed my existence at all.

Yinxiang came to me and said, "Yinkong, you are here. I'm just about to ask you about the Eighth Brother!"

I pretended to be heartbroken: "The emperor was fine when he went out with me that night, why did he suddenly..." My eyes turned red and I cried loudly.

When Yinxiang saw my appearance, his heart felt sad and he burst into tears.

The King of War noticed my existence. He frowned and said, "Why are you two crying? The father will come later. If he sees your cowardly appearance, wouldn't he feel even more depressed?"

A rough voice said: "What does the fifth prince mean? The death of the eighth prince is not very sad. How can we use the word "sacrifice" to slander others' state of mind!" The person who spoke was the sixth prince Xing Wang Yintao. He had always been inconsistent with the king. He caught the leverage of the king, so he naturally refused to let him go easily.

The King of Residents said angrily: "I am just thinking about my father. I am as sad as you brothers in the Eighth Emperor. But what is the use of light crying? Only by finding the real murderer as soon as possible can he comfort his spirit in heaven."

King Xing snorted coldly: "I don't think all of these brothers are truly sad!"

The King of Residents said angrily: "Lao Liu, what do you mean?"
