Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

"Yue Qingchen, should you think it's normal for Gu to tie you up?" He put on his robe, sat down at the fringed brocade table, poured himself a glass of warm water, and took a sip.

"..." Qingchen sat on the bed. Although she didn't feel that way, she still felt that his attitude was a bit wrong.

Ever since she was taken out of the palace by Ling Yu and captured by him, he seemed to have never stayed in Suiyin Palace.

Could it be that he really feels resentful of his past?

Qingchen got out of bed. Seeing her thin clothes, He Lanyan immediately stepped forward and put his robe on her body.

"You..." Seeing this, Qingchen glanced at him unnaturally and hesitated in her heart.

She said that if he cared about her past, but somehow she could feel that he still cared about her.

She sat down at the table with doubts. She felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit subtle. She drank water to cover up her discomfort and looked down at the water in the teacup. "Why are you here?"

He Lanyan knew what she was thinking, so he said truthfully: "You go to bed earlier these days. You go to bed first every time I come over after finishing my work."

Qingchen pursed her lips, "Then...if you need it, you can go to Concubine Yao or Concubine Jing, or maybe the queen, they..."

Before she could finish speaking, He Lanyan interrupted her directly, "Yue Qingchen, you are in my eyes. Is that why I came to you alone?"

"..." Qingchen raised her eyes slightly and looked at him, "I didn't mean that..."

"Do I need you to tell me about Gu's affairs?" He still asked himself to find Concubine Yao or Concubine Jing at every turn. This time, even the queen was involved.

He Lanyan's eyebrows moved and he said coldly: "If you don't want to be banned in Suiyin Palace, don't say anything you shouldn't say."

"But as the king of a country, shouldn't everything in the harem be equal?" He kept coming to her place, and the Queen Mother kept staring at her.

And during the palace banquet, Concubine Yao looked at her as if she wanted to eat her.

If he could go elsewhere, she wouldn't have to be the target of public criticism.

He Lanyan clenched the tea cup in his hand, his eyes slightly cold, "According to what you said, your imperial brother is also the king of a country. Has he been exposed to rain and dew in the harem?"

Hearing this, Qingchen felt an inexplicable suffocation in his chest, put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes darkened.

"I'm married far away, how could I know this..." She didn't even know whether the emperor's brother had a wife, so how could she know whether he was in the harem.

only……

When she thought about other women appearing next to him, she felt the air in her chest was very thin.

As soon as He Lanyan mentioned her imperial brother's matter to her predecessors, her eyes were filled with sadness.

He almost crushed the teacup in his hand, but he didn't want to make her too sad, so he put the teacup down, stood up and said, "I heard that he has not yet married a queen, is your brother not good at that? "

"He Lanyan, you..." Qingchen frowned, and some pictures that he shouldn't have suddenly came to his mind. He suppressed the thoughts that he shouldn't have in his heart and glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense!"

He Lanyan chuckled: "I hope it's Gu Luan who is talking, rather than your brother really having any hidden illness. After all, if an emperor has a hidden illness, it will affect the fate of the country."

"My imperial brother has no hidden diseases, he is very normal!" She couldn't help but retort.

"How do you know that your royal brother doesn't have any unspeakable hidden diseases?"

"He Lanyan, you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and didn't look for your Yao Concubine Jing Fei. Did you come to my place to quarrel with me on purpose?" Qing Chen put the teacup on the table with force and raised her eyes to glare at him.

Sure enough, she became so excited when she mentioned Yue Qinghe.

He Lanyan was silent for a while, not wanting to anger her, so he changed the subject, "I just came to sleep with you."

"You!" Qingchen pursed her lips, her heartbeat paused, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Madam, the supper is ready." At this time, Huaisang's voice sounded outside the door.

"Bring it in." He Lanyan said solemnly.

Huaisang paused at the door, wondering if he had come at the wrong time?

So she stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open and entering. When she entered the hall, her face was lowered, not daring to look anywhere.

Huaisang quickly put the supper on the table and exited the bedroom.

He Lanyan looked at the supper brought by Huaisang, two bowls of bird's nest porridge and several plates of stir-fried dishes.

Reluctantly, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Come here and have something to eat before going to bed."

Qingchen was forced to sit down by him and looked at several plates of stir-fried dishes. Feeling her stomach was empty, she didn't hesitate, picked up the bird's nest porridge and drank half of it in one gulp. I picked up the chopsticks and tried some stir-fry, and found that the taste was okay.

He Lanyan sat opposite her and saw that she had a good appetite and her mood became happy.

Inexplicably, the scene of her bringing food to him in Dongming Country came to mind, and he suddenly asked her, "Tell me, what kind of mentality did you have in bringing food to me at the beginning? Are you really not afraid of me?" Did you kill him as a workman?"

He had asked her, but she had not answered his question directly.

Qingchen didn't dare to eat too much, fearing that he would be unable to fall asleep after eating for a while, so he stopped.

She raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Gu asked you before how you knew Gu's existence, but you didn't even answer."

Qingchen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Looking at his probing look at this moment, I suddenly felt that I couldn't escape this problem tonight.

She remembered that her father once told her that the death of my eldest brother was related to him, and she said: "I once heard my father say that the death of my eldest brother was related to you, and I am curious about you. My father is not Tell me how the eldest brother was killed by you. I originally wanted to go to your place to investigate the death of the eldest brother, but I found that your situation was not that good, so I relented and brought you food."

He Lanyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really? I remember that you were admitted to the palace by your father when you were seven years old. You have never met your eldest brother."

How could one want to investigate the cause of death of a brother he had never met?

"But I'm just curious."

"I can tell you how your eldest brother died, but at the same time you have to tell me the truth about how you learned about his existence."

After all, her statement that she learned about her existence from her father was really unconvincing.

Because he knew very well that after the eldest prince of Dongming Kingdom died because of him, the old emperor of Dongming Kingdom did not want to mention himself in front of others.

Therefore, it is impossible for her to know her existence from her father.

"..." Qingchen was silent for a moment. She was indeed curious whether the death of the eldest emperor brother was related to him. Her father had been so concerned about it before.

She thought about it for a while before nodding, "Okay, you go ahead."
