Lu Xinlan stopped at the door of Jinhua Palace. Obviously, the formation at this time made her feel a little uneasy. The masters and servants of each palace were coming. The large Jinhua Palace was overcrowded. When she stepped into the threshold, she scanned

When someone looked at her, it seemed like a smile but not a smile, like sympathy but not sympathy. Her beautiful face was exuding a chill that made her heart palpitate. Lu Xinlan didn't understand why she looked at her like this?

Along the way, everyone paid attention and said, "I, my concubine, bow to your Majesty."

In the main hall, Ling Jiyun sat on the rosewood chair at the top, staring at Lu Xinlan who was kneeling on the ground with disgust and a bit of evil eyes. When he raised his hand, a bright yellow brocade dragon seemed to leap up.

, "Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He felt uneasy. It was a rare sight. Why was it such a scene?

"Bring people up." Ling Jiyun said coldly, his dark eyes blurred.

"According to the decree——."

After a while, the shadow assassin who committed the assassination in Yaxu Palace last night was escorted by the imperial guards. When Lu Xinlan saw the black shadow, her heart seemed to stop beating, and she suddenly remembered the meeting with Gardenia in the imperial garden just now.

conversation, it turned out that this was what she was talking about.

"Do you have anything to say?" Ling Jiyun spoke, and the voice that came from her voice was without any warmth.

Lu Xinlan was stunned, what was going on? She slowly walked up to Yao Jin and asked word for word: "It was you who sneaked into Yaxu Palace to assassinate me last night?"

She is just an ordinary woman. He did not expect that she would have such a high level of Qinggong cultivation, nor did he expect that he would be defeated at the hands of a child. The only thing he wanted to do now was not to implicate himself at this moment. He was willing to risk his life to protect her.

people.

"Your Majesty, this matter was done by Yao Jin alone. The princess had no knowledge at all. Yao Jin will bear all the responsibilities. Please don't use the topic to harm the princess." Yao Jin knelt on the ground, begging sincerely.

Ling Jiyun thought to himself: He is really shrewd and knew that he wanted to use the topic to his advantage. "You mean she didn't instigate you to go to Yaxu Palace for the assassination?"

"yes--."

"Why?"

"Because it has been a long time since the princess came back. Your Majesty, you have never been to Jinhua Palace once. The princess often lives in sadness. I can't stand it. I know that all this is caused by the woman named Hua Zhiniang. Because she

, Your Majesty is the only one who doesn’t love the princess, and this servant wants to kill her to vent his anger on his master. One day, Your Majesty, you will definitely fall in love with our princess.”

"That's ridiculous, do I still need your guidance when I do things?" For this reason, he almost lost Gardenia forever, how could he not be angry?

Gardenia stood behind the imperial guard at the door. Listening to the reason why she almost lost her life, she felt bitterness in her heart. She only wanted to keep her job simple, but she still hurt so many people unintentionally.

Xinlan might just be one of them, squinting her eyes slightly as she looked at the masters in the palace in vain. Ling Jiyun had never touched a woman for so many years for her own sake. Could it be that only Lu Xinlan's slaves couldn't stand it?

Who can guarantee that she will not be assassinated again tonight?

A gust of autumn wind blew and the corners of her skirt swayed. Ling Jiyun stared blankly at the touch of silk floating at the door, her expression softened, as if a gust of wind had flashed to the door.

Everyone was stunned, what happened? Did that gentle and greasy color really appear on the emperor's face just now?

Gardenia only felt a shadow stop next to her. She raised her eyes and met a pair of deep and infatuated eyes. She quickly turned away, fearing that she would be overwhelmed by the tenderness in his eyes. She said unexpectedly: "How do you know about me?"

Here?" She thought she was hiding well, but she didn't know that he could catch the slightest movement.

"Why should you be surprised? Don't you think this is normal?" Looking at her pale face, he glared at Leyin with sharp eyes.

Yue Yin knelt on the ground in horror: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please forgive me."

"I forced myself to come here, don't blame Leyin." His voice was soft, because he said, "Why should you be surprised? Don't you think it's normal?" Gardenia was a little embarrassed because he was so familiar with her.

It went beyond my imagination.

As he walked into the palace with his support, he could immediately feel the strange look in his eyes: jealousy, resentment, disdain, contempt, and even sarcasm and ridicule.

Gardenia stopped beside the black shadow, wanting to see clearly what the person who wanted to kill her looked like.

He was still wearing the same night clothes as last night, but there was a trace of fear and uneasiness on his pretty good face. I was afraid that the fear was not because of himself but because of Lu Xinlan. She could see clearly just now when she stood at the door.

His tone and movements became softer and more delicate when it came to Lu Xinlan, and he even saw a hint of love in his eyes.

Gardenia knew that Lu Xinlan would not lie to her, and she also understood the purpose of this black shadow to assassinate her. "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this assassin?"

"He hurt you, I won't give him a chance to live." The gentle words were full of evil, and when the voice fell, everyone felt chilled.

Gardenia sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Gardenia would like to have a word with him alone, is that okay?"

"No." He hugged her body, fearing that she would be hurt again if she got close. "I can't take this risk."

Wasn't that the case that time? When both of them were willful, it was Ling Jiyun who finally compromised. This time was no exception. Looking at her firm gaze, his heart would soften no matter how strong he was. He tapped Yao Jin's acupuncture point,

Gardenia walked out with him, while Ling Jiyun stared at him from a distance, fearing that something might go wrong.

Looking at the two figures talking not far away, the Linyue Sword in Ling Jiyun's hand always kept unsheathed. It was Gardenia who was talking all the time, while Yao Jin was trying to answer with a puzzled, stunned, and surprised expression.

.I thought: What on earth did she say to him?

After a while, Yao Jin frowned and asked: "I want to kill you, why do you still help me like this?"

The corners of his lips curved into a bitter arc, and he sighed: "I didn't intend to hurt anyone, but I still hurt many people unintentionally. I know that forgetting is not a painful thing. If possible, I think you are together.

, Lu Xinlan will be happier than she is now." If it were her old self, her sympathy would never be so overflowing. Perhaps it was the conversation in the imperial garden that made her have feelings for this woman who admitted frankly that she had a clear distinction between love and hate.

Just a little bit of good feeling.

Maybe she had walked too much and felt some pain in her abdomen. She walked up to Ling Jiyun with a slight frown, looked at him, and raised a faint smile: "Your Majesty made a mistake. The assassin whom Gardenia met last night was not you.

The person he caught was the one who saw a dark figure jumping into Yaxu Palace and came to help Gardenia catch the assassin."

As soon as these words came out, there was undoubtedly a wave of whispers. He looked at her in confusion, "You are sure."

He lowered his head and said, "Absolutely."

"You want me to let him go?"

"He is not guilty, so the emperor will certainly let him go."

Yao Jin had already admitted it. Now that she was saying that he was not guilty, what on earth did she want to do? Ling Jiyun thought to herself, but saw her move her gaze away from him and look at everyone in the hall.

The calmness became dim, and the expression changed from calmness to sadness. He was too familiar with this look and that expression, and he was afraid that she might have remembered something again.

"Master, your wound..." Seeing Gardenia's wound turn red, Leyin called anxiously.

The next moment, he was picked up and strode out of the main hall, passing through the silent crowd and leaving Jinhua Palace.

Leaning gently into his arms, the wound was not so painful anymore. Thinking back to those women, she suddenly understood why she left in the first place. Lu Xinlan said that he chose Jiangshan between Jiangshan and her, and

She only wants Ling Jiyun, not his empire.

She loved Ling Jiyun, that love was very simple, just one and only, and those women all needed Ling Jiyun's love, but he kept that love completely to himself, which made her full of guilt.

Ling Jiyun does not belong to Hua Zhiniang alone, but to the world, to those women in the harem. She knows what kind of person she is, and it is better to never get it than to force it, which is why she will choose to forget

Bar.

I have to admit that his chest is very warm, the kind of feeling that as long as you lean on it gently, you will never let go and stay with it for the rest of your life.

"Do you - love me?" She cried quietly, clinging to his chest.

"Love." He said it bluntly without hesitation.

"Do you - love Jiangshan?"

He stopped, and after a while, he brought up Jianbu again. He couldn't find a reason to answer her, so he had to stay silent. He also knew that not saying anything was what made her sad the most. He knew that she must have thought of something. He looked at her just now

Looking at the eyes of those women, it was clear what she was thinking.

Those women were just used to win over people's hearts when the court was first established. A few years ago, he announced in the court that he had canceled the system of selecting a beautiful woman every three years in his life, and received a large amount of opposition.

However, after his insistence, when the ministers saw that he insisted on doing this, they could not say anything. They knew that they were fortunate that when he first ascended the throne, the harem was filled with concubines. Now that the world is stable, it is time to waste some time.

He came to deal with it, for Gardenia, for his one and only.

"Can you give me some time?" Ling Jiyun said softly as he approached Yaxu Palace.

What is his plan? Can time solve all problems? He sighed in his heart and nodded. Such an outstanding man gave all his love to himself. It is no wonder that he provoked so much jealousy. There was something in his heart.

The chaos was quickly sorted out, and a conclusion was reached: Although she chose to forget and time slipped away, love still stayed in her heart. No matter what kind of medicine she took in the first place or what method of forgetting she used, it was all erased.

Don’t miss that unforgettable figure.

In the bedroom, the old imperial doctor took his pulse and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the wound is just slightly torn. Just move less and lie down and rest more."

"You go down." Ling Jiyun waved his hand, his gaze never moving from Gardenia's body.

"According to the decree."

"Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something?"

Looking into his affectionate eyes, "I'm tired and want to rest."

"Okay, then I'll come back to see you later."

There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and Gardenia's heart twitched. He just wanted to stay with her, but finally couldn't bear it, so she took his hand and said, "Can you wait until I fall asleep before leaving?"

His attitude in answering the question just now made him think that she would be eager to let him leave. He looked at her unexpectedly, with a soft light of happiness on his face. With a wave of his hand, the maids and eunuchs in the palace all left sideways, and the door of the bedroom was slammed shut.

, the hall was immediately shrouded in silence, and the only sounds that could be heard were each other's breathing.

Ling Jiyun suddenly smiled evilly and said, "I'm tired too." After saying that, he couldn't wait for Gardenia's reaction and lay down next to her.

Hugging her body, holding her hand, I was so happy that I was tired...
