She always speaks softly and tenderly in front of her, but Lianzhen has always known that without her, she becomes another person. In the eyes of those ministers, she has deep thoughts, unpredictable emotions, and a deep understanding of Knowing the art of power and manipulating people, they all respect and fear her. Her majesty in the court is not only difficult for the little emperor, but even surpassed the first emperor.She is gentle and affectionate, but also wise and cold. From the time I first met the imperial concubine to today, the only thing that remains the same is her unique calmness, as if there is nothing in the world that she cannot solve.

But it was such a girl who suddenly came here in the middle of the night tonight, her behavior and words and deeds were very different from usual, one could imagine how serious what was going to happen would be.Lian Zhen's heart sank a little more, Bing Lun continued: "Don't panic, you won't stay there for long, and when things here are over, I'll send someone to pick you up right away."

Lian Zhen just repeated: "What about you? What about Xu'er?"

"Me?" Bing Lun was startled: "Of course I stayed in the palace, and so did the emperor."

"Well, I'll stay in the palace too."

"you listen to me......"

"Binglun." Lian Zhen looked at her with a firm tone: "I'm not going anywhere."

Binglun couldn't speak, Lianzhen said: "You and your father are going to confront each other head-on, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, what will be the worst outcome?"

Binglun hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is unpredictable."

"You once said that you were not sure," Lian Zhen said, "but you told me to avoid it, but promised to bring me back after the matter was over."

Binglun said: "I also said that I must win."

Lian Zhen shook her head, and said word by word: "No matter what you say, Binglun, I will never leave you, whether it is life or death, I will be with you."

Binglun frowned and said: "Lianzhen, sometimes, the result of 'life' or 'death' is the simplest, I'm afraid, even such simplicity is an extravagant hope." She paused, and then said: "If I win , then there’s nothing to say, if I lose, maybe they won’t take my life, but my heart is definitely worse than death, and you, your situation, I...” The voice suddenly trembled slightly, and then stopped , lips pursed into a line.

"I'm not afraid, not at all." Lian Zhen showed no fear on her face, she moved gently, stroking her neck: "Binglun, ever since I knew you, you have been protecting me, silently, I take care of you under your wings, and I always felt that I must have done a lot of good deeds in my previous life."

The gentle and sweet murmur, as if with magical power, dispelled the heavy shadows lingering in her heart, Binglun's body was still stiff and straight, but his hands slowly went around her slender waist, and took her into his arms.

"No matter what is going to happen, I have confidence in you, and, for me and Xu'er, you have to work hard to win." Lian Zhen said: "If it is really unfortunate that it falls into the hands of others, that's okay, we can always have So a little time to say goodbye. Binglun, I just want you to know that my life is very lucky and perfect after meeting you. Even if I die tomorrow, I will be satisfied and have no regrets. I don’t want any safety, I just want to stay by your side , you don't want me to leave..."

Binglun put her chin against her head, and finally said: "Okay, I promise you, you will stay in the palace, stay by my side, and not go anywhere."

Lian really felt relieved, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, after a while, Binglun let go of her hand: "You rest, I should go."

Lian Zhen lay quietly on her chest, as if she didn't hear her words, but her hands unconsciously clenched the clothes on her shoulders.Binglun whispered: "You know, I can't stay here for too long."

"Ah."

"In the current situation, there is no way."

Lian Zhen suddenly sighed softly: "Binglun, I want you to promise me one thing."

Binglun was startled: "What is it?"

The room suddenly fell into a brief silence. Although Binglun couldn't see Lianzhen's face, she could feel that she was not in the right mood, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You will always be like this." Lian Zhen's voice was very low, with an indescribable sense of melancholy and loss: "Never promise me first."

Binglun said: "I have to know what it is first, right?" He patted her head and said with a smile: "Are you angry? Tell me."

"If you pass the current hurdle and the world is peaceful, you can return the government to Xu'er, okay?" Lian Zhen left her embrace, looked at her cautiously, there was a trace of pleading in her clear starry eyes : "We either live in the harem, or go to Xiyuan. I don't care about sneaking around, and I won't complain about the lack of seeing each other. I just want to be with you all the time and live a peaceful and happy life with you, okay?"

"This..." Binglun was a little surprised, but still kept a smile on his face: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, it's such a long time ago."

The tone was extremely understatement, Lianzhen was slightly disappointed, drooping her thick long eyelashes, Binglun said: "You are worried that I will be greedy for power, unwilling to let go, and I will be bound by power, or even killed by power, right?"

Lianzhen was told by her that there was a hidden worry in her heart, so she watched her keep silent, but Binglun stopped continuing the topic, thought for a while, and said slowly: "There will come a day, as long as you say it, I won't have any doubts , and I am willing to meet any of your requests, but not right now." A soft kiss fell on her temple, pampering her as if coaxing a child: "The most important thing now is that you have a good sleep, go to sleep, I'll be leaving when you fall asleep."

The person on the bed was breathing evenly, and seemed to be in a deep sleep. Binglun had already got up, but couldn't help turning her head back. The peaceful and beautiful sleeping face made people linger, and it seemed that there was a sudden extra strength in her footsteps, making it difficult to move. She stood There, after looking at it for a while, he finally stretched out his hands and lowered the curtain.

The lights were turned off one by one, and the room returned to its original darkness and quietness. Lian Zhen slowly opened her eyes and turned her body to the outside.The warmth of her body still remained on the bed, and her faint fragrance remained in the air, but the more so, the longer and more lonely this autumn night was.

Lian Zhen's thoughts were mixed, she tossed and turned all night, she couldn't sleep at night, and finally got up until dawn without calling anyone, so she got up and changed her clothes, when the maid outside heard the movement, she hurriedly brought hot water towels and waited for her to come in , to serve her wash.While cleansing her face, Lian Zhen said, "Go and call Tong Jie in."

The little palace lady Yizhen just went out to call for someone, when the inner eunuch came to report: "Master, Eunuch Liu from the Needlework Bureau has brought two maids, and is waiting outside to see the master."

Lian was really surprised, raised her head and said, "Did you say something?"

"I didn't say it."

"Call him in."

When Liu Zhao came in, he knelt down and bowed first: "The servant sees the master."

"Come here at this time, is there anything urgent?"

Liu Zhao apologized and said with a smile: "I didn't dare to come here so early to disturb the master, but Director Wang went to the slave in the early morning and said that the master needs two needleworkers to help with the work, so the slave will send them over immediately. The slave dare not delay , and came over without stopping.”

Lian Zhen was even more confused: "Wang Youxing told you that I am short of people here?"

"Yes." Liu Zhao turned back and said, "Chengying, Huaying, I haven't come to meet Master Chen yet." The two maids had already bowed with him once, and after hearing this, they went forward to kowtow again.Lian Zhen looked at them, and saw that they were mediocre in appearance, and their bones were slightly thick. They were dressed in lower-level palace maid costumes, and they looked inconspicuous at all.She was full of doubts, but thinking that since it was Wang Youxing's own business, there must be his reason, so she said to Hengbo: "You take the two of them to see Sang Rong, and ask her to assign them a room and make some arrangements. Then he said to Liu Zhao: "It's hard to make a trip for you."

She is pure and kind by nature, and has always been very kind to the servants and servants of the palace. She is deeply respected and loved by everyone. Liu Zhao hurriedly said: "It is a slave's honor to be able to do a little work for the master. If the master has no other orders, the slave will leave first. gone."

Seeing Liu Zhao leave, Baozhen asked someone to pass on the breakfast, and Tong Jie also came in from the outside, knelt down and said, "The master is called a slave, what's the matter?"

Lian Zhen beckoned, Tong Jie hurriedly moved forward, and listened attentively, Lian Zhen said a few words in a low voice, Tong Jie repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, the slave will go here."

After waiting for half a day, Tong Jie came back. Lian Zhenben knelt on the kang and pruned the flower branches. When he saw him, he put down the silver scissors in his hand. Big deal."

Lian Zhen felt a "thump" in her heart, and said, "Say it."

Tong Jie said: "Isn't Uncle Guo Xiliang Hou working under Chief Tan? I heard that there was a conflict with some other iron guards yesterday. He was beaten to death and humiliated. Later, the general also entered the palace because of this." , The Empress Dowager ordered an iron guard chief to cut his wrists to apologize to the General and Lord Hou, Director Tan and Deputy Director Ran were also present, and there was a commotion for most of the night."

Lianzhen was startled, and while counting the time when Binglun came over last night, she asked: "What is the reason for the conflict?"

"Regarding this, Manager Wang has been hesitating and evading his words, but in the end he was pried open by the slave." Tong Jie's face was a little strange when he said this: "According to what he meant, it was the Marquis of Xiliang who broke into the gate of Fengqi without permission. land, peeping into the harem, was caught by the imperial guards, and was almost sent to prison."

Lianzhen was stunned, and for some reason, many things suddenly came to mind, remembering Huo Ze's distraught appearance when he first met him in Guangle Palace, and Binglun's brooding afterward, the phrase "I hate The way he looked at you", thinking of Binglun's slightly gloomy look every time he mentioned Huo Ze, and the inadvertent coldness in his eyes, that subtle change can only be felt by the closest people.In her ears, Qinzhu's words seemed to sound again: "The second young master and the third young master both like Miss Cousin, but that is different. The second young master's liking for Miss Cousin has reached the point of obsession, and the third young master is close to Cousin from the bottom of his heart." Miss... He treats Miss Biao like a god, we have never seen him treat other people so well, but he is also very domineering, he can't tolerate Miss Biao caring about the third young master, and he doesn't like Miss Biao treating others Well, he has a very bad temper... The second young master once said that he would not marry a non-cousin lady, and the master also had this plan, but since the incident happened to the cousin, no one mentioned her name again. "

Lian Zhen frowned, thinking silently, Huo Ze is a lustful man, he is an unworthy son of the Huo family, almost everyone knows it, but this is not enough to explain the various abnormal behaviors of Binglun. It is reflected in her expression that is so small that it is almost imperceptible, and in her eyes. . . . . .Why did Binglun agree to the queen's suggestion and betroth Liu Mengdie to Huo Ze?Why has Binglun been unwilling to entrust Huo Ze with any real job for so many years?Why did she rush to Xiefang Palace in the middle of the night after what happened to Huo Ze, and said that she would arrange for her to leave the palace immediately?Her contest with Huo Mu started a long time ago, and sending her out of the palace to escape is obviously a temporary decision. Binglun is a person who does things with a plan and a purpose, this is not her style, so let her make a decision Could it be Huo Ze who made this temporary decision?

Thinking in another direction, Lin Wanxi died of suicide, Binglun felt guilty, and it is normal to keep thinking about it, but it is a bit strange that she has often had nightmares because of her for so many years. Everyone has died for many years. Next, it is still secretive, the same strange. . . . . .Huo Ze is infatuated with Lin Wanxi, Huo Lin is close to Lin Wanxi, Lin Wanxi is in love with Binglun. . . . . .Binglun said that the most feared thing in life is not being able to protect the person you love the most. . . . . .

Lian really thought about this, her head ached, but a bold thought suddenly popped up in her heart, could there be something hidden behind Lin Wanxi's death?Isn't it as simple as suicide?

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, Tong Jie said again: "By the way, there is one more thing. Director Wang said that the two Chengying and Huaying sent today were personally pointed out by the queen mother to the master. Manager Wang also told the slave Be kind to them."

Lian Zhen raised her head in surprise: "What?"

The heavy rain poured down, and the sound of "pat, clap" was fast and urgent, falling on the glazed tiles, and soon a water curtain was woven under the eaves.

Tan Ying stood in the hall and reported: "Yesterday, I have compiled the details of Huo Song's latest dismissal and replacement of generals and soldiers in the outer guard of the imperial forest, and the details of the change of guards at each city gate into pictures and texts, and ordered them to be sent to the Imperial Prison for Commander Chai to have a look at. He took out two pieces of paper folded into a square from his arms, and presented them with both hands: "This is his reply."

Bing Lun held the purple ivory tube in his hand and moved his brush like flying. He waited until the imperial decree was finished before taking it over. He unfolded it for a look, and said, "He thinks the Taiping Gate is the weakest."

"The officers and men of Taiping Gate have changed the least. According to him, there are a few very reliable and capable people."

Binglun put away the paper and said suddenly, "The 21st is Princess Wu's birthday."

Huo Mu is a great general who was later ennobled as the King of Wu. Concubine Wu refers to Huo Song and Huo Ze's biological mother, Mrs. Fu. Tan Ying said: "Yes, many officials in the court are preparing for birthday gifts. God, the General's Mansion will definitely be bustling like never before."

Binglun said: "I also prepared a birthday gift for them just now, you can take a look." As he spoke, he pointed to the table, Tan Ying stepped forward under her signal, and seeing two imperial edicts on the table, he Looking down at ten lines at a glance, an imperial decree dismissed Wang Zhong from the position of chief assistant on the grounds of his old age, physical illness and lack of energy, and also gave him gold and silver to recuperate at home.The other imperial decree was to praise Huo Mu for serving the country wholeheartedly, dedicating himself to his duties, and making great achievements throughout the world. He was specially appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet. Although his eldest son Huo Song was already the son of King Wu, he was awarded the title of "King of Zhongshan County" in addition. The second son Huo Ze and the third son Huo Lin also became the king of Xiliang County and the king of Xiangyuan County respectively.

Binglun tapped the edge of the case with her index finger, and said flatly, "How is it? Is my gift big enough and heavy enough?"
