"Do you still want to bring these old clothes of the princess?" The maid discussed with a few dresses.

"What are you doing with these? Do you have anything to live in the imperial city? I don't want these clothes anymore, I have to make new ones according to the Queen's style!"

"But these are what the princess likes..."

"Hey! What are you doing!" Xiaolan is Lei Yu's personal maid who has been with Lei Yu since the general's mansion, and she and Lei Yu are sisters.She watched the two old Shang Gong from the imperial city casually throw Lei Yu's favorite clothes on the ground and step on them. She was so distressed that she hurried over to pick them up and pat them on.

Old Shang Gong didn't say anything, after all, she was the personal maid of the future empress, so he politely helped her tidy up.

Lei Yu sat in front of the window in the inner room with a lot of thoughts, and didn't pay attention to the outer room at all. Xiao Lan walked over to him wronged and called: "Princess..."

Relying on his seniority, Lao Shanggong scolded: "There are no rules! It's time to be called Empress!"

Lei Yu came back to his senses: "It's okay, it's not a queen yet, and it's a bit early to call now. Xiaolan, my lord...has His Majesty come back?"

Xiaolan said: "Your Majesty will be staying in the Imperial City from today onwards. I'll let someone watch here. You should go to the Imperial City as soon as possible." She was worried that if the Queen and His Majesty were not together, there would be criticism in the future. What is the Imperial City? The place, the people inside are not easy to provoke, even these two old Shang Gong, it seems that they are not good.

Lei Yu was silent, his complexion has not been very good lately, she hasn't seen Si Weiheng for many days, Heng Wang only returns home after the house every day, and stays directly in the wing room or study room under the pretext of not disturbing her .

The king passed away three days ago, and Si Weiheng was so busy that he had to observe the funeral, preside over the ceremony, and prepare for his ascension to the throne.Although it is not necessary to do everything personally, but he has never returned to Prince Heng's Mansion.

Since Si Weiheng returned to Tianlu City from the fief Jirong City, Lei Yu felt more and more that something was wrong with him. Not only did he not see people often, but he also didn't care about her before. The two of them hadn't talked about themselves together for a long time talk.

She knew that Si Weiheng would not leave her, her family background and her appearance and character were enough to support her status as a princess or even a queen.But if she didn't have such status, would Si Weiheng still treat her well?She dare not think.

More than ten years have passed, and she finds that she doesn't understand this person less and less.

When love sprouted, Si Weiheng's pursuit made her never think about whether this man loves herself or the help she can bring to him.

After getting married, she was also immersed in happiness. Her husband is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and he has a rare dedication. She chose to believe in Si Weiheng wholeheartedly.

But Si Weiheng's recent change made Lei Yu wonder if he has a new love. Before she married Si Weiheng, she thought that joining the royal family would mean losing the right to choose freely.

Some time ago, Lei Ting talked to her about his worries. If Si Weiheng ascended the throne and became the lord of Shenyu Kingdom, it would be inevitable to choose a concubine to enrich the harem so as to extend the heirs.

Lei Ting asked her if she could accept it. He didn't want to see his daughter depressed all day long. If Lei Yu didn't want to, he could persuade Si Weiheng to reconcile her. Her daughter's happiness and joy are the most important thing.

Lei Yu just pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry about me, I have already thought about these things, Weiheng loves me, that's enough, I don't want to leave him."

That being said, she is still bored in the room these days, she hates herself for worrying about gain and loss like an ordinary little girl, and laughs at herself in her heart, if her father and Ah Yan find out, maybe she will laugh at herself how.

After all, she is the queen, so she can't be so depressed, Weiheng is busy at the moment, she should stand by his side, help him and assist him.

Thinking of this, she stood up and said: "Xiao Lan, you don't need to bring those dresses, wash and put them away, let's go to the palace now."

The queen conferring ceremony was scheduled to be after the enthronement ceremony, and the palace people carried lanterns and led the chariot of the future queen to Fengshu Palace.

Old Shang Gong followed the chariot, and said through the small window: "Your Majesty asked the empress to stay in Fengshu Palace tonight, and go to observe filial piety with him tomorrow. It is said that the new emperor and empress should be together to observe filial piety, but Your Majesty presses down on criticism, so as not to Your Majesty really loves the Queen for all your hard work!" Her tone was full of envy and compliments, but Lei Yu had something on her mind, and all she heard was criticism.

The palace people of Fengshu Palace waited for Lei Yu to wash up and then retreated. Xiaolan combed her hair and said, "Princess, lord...Your Majesty is really filial. I just sent Old Shanggong out and heard them say that His Majesty has already passed away." It's been two days without sleep."

Lei Yu sighed inwardly, feeling guilty for his suspicion.

She ordered: "Go and obey the filial piety, and I will accompany His Majesty to observe the filial piety."

Without alarming others, Lei Yu was dressed in plain clothes and insisted on not wearing a cloak, and walked towards Chaoyang Palace on foot.

The snow stopped for three days, and the snow on the road was swept under the palace wall and piled up under the palace wall. During the day, the sun melted a little, and at night, a layer of brittle ice formed, which creaked under the feet.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, it was the national funeral, and Si Zhongyi's concubine hadn't moved out yet. White silk was hung on the gates of all the palaces. Except for the concubines who took turns to watch the funeral, everyone else stayed in their own palace dutifully. In the middle, dare not make noise.

The imperial city after the snow was immersed in a sad and solemn silence.

Chaoyang Palace is covered with white silk from the walls to the palace gate. Xiao Lan went up to find no one on duty.

Why is there no one on duty at the place where the coffin stops?Lei Yu felt strange, and when he was about to go in, two people walked over from the corner of the palace wall.

She pulled Xiaolan back behind the thick gate of Chaoyang Palace.

"Ayu entered the palace tonight?" It was Si Weiheng.

"Yes, the princess is staying in Fengshu Palace." It was Si Weiheng's confidant Han Zhao who answered.

"Okay, let her stay here first, what is missing is someone to prepare." Si Weiheng ordered, Lei Yu's heart warmed up, Weiheng was still the same Weiheng she knew, and she misunderstood him.

"Yes." Han Zhao took the order, "Your Majesty, do you want to tell the princess about the general?"

Si Weiheng said: "Don't tell her yet, keep your mouth shut! I'll tell her personally later."

Lei Yu frowned, what happened to Dad?She was about to go out when she heard Si Weiheng continue to say: "Is there any news from Ah Yan?"

Han Zhaodao: "My subordinates have sent people to wait in Liewei County. If we have any news, we will report back immediately. Don't worry, Your Majesty, the young general is very skilled in martial arts, and nothing will happen."

The two entered through the palace gate, Lei Yu held his breath, and tightly covered Xiao Lan's mouth with one hand.

Si Weiheng said: "If it wasn't for the need to find Tianhun, I would definitely not let Ah Yan leave Tianlu City... Forget it, after I receive Ah Yan, I will find a chance to get rid of Bai Yin."

"Yes. It's just that Bai Yin is a disciple of God Attendant, and his spiritual power is deep. I'm afraid..."

"The new national teacher will arrive soon, he hates Bai Yin to the bone, let him help you then."

The two passed through the palace gate and entered the mourning hall arranged in the main hall of Chaoyang Palace.

Lei Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Si Weiheng knew the relationship between Lei Yan and Bai Yin, why did he kill Bai Yin?And what happened to dad?Who is the new national teacher?

She swallowed, let go of Xiaolan, the girl covered her mouth with force, and there were obvious red marks on the lower half of her face, she also became nervous when she saw Lei Yu's face was pale, and asked: "Princess, are you okay? "

Lei Yu put his index finger on his lips to signal her to keep quiet, and said in a low voice, "Xiaolan, you go back to the palace first, and go and find out what happened to the general."

Xiaolan nodded: "Yes. What about you?"

Lei Yu calmed down, looked at Chaoyang Palace and said, "I'm going to observe my filial piety."

When she entered the mourning hall dressed in plain white, Si Weiheng was obviously taken aback, and got up to greet her: "Ayu, why are you here?"

"I'm here to keep my father's filial piety." Lei Yu is pure and kind, and she can't pretend to be fake. Fortunately, she shouldn't show any joyful expression at this time, this place, and this scene. The expression of disappointment and distrust looks a lot like grief.

Si Weiheng pulled her to sit down: "I want you to come back tomorrow, it's too cold at night, I'm worried that you will catch the cold."

Holding her hand was still so generous and warm, but it couldn't warm Lei Yu's heart. She asked directly, "Why did you kill Mr. Bai?"

Si Weiheng's hand tightened, and it hurt Lei Yu. When he came back to his senses, he changed the subject: "Sorry, did it hurt you? Let me see."

Lei Yu withdrew his hand forcefully: "Answer me first. Mr. Bai and Ah Yan are in love with each other. Even my father agrees that they are together. Why do you want to kill Mr. Bai?"

Why kill Hakuin?Si Weiheng thought, because I want Ah Yan!I want Ah Yan to be mine!

Jealousy burned fiercely in his heart, and he clenched his fists unconsciously. Recently, he couldn't hold back his anxious mood more and more. Thinking of Ah Yan, he couldn't help himself. In order not to show his feet in front of Lei Yu, he had to avoid her.

He thought to himself, when Ah Yan finds the Heavenly Soul and his life is safe, he will lock him up, lock him up, and tie him up so that he cannot escape from his control.

Hakuin is the only obstacle!He must get rid of Hakuin!

He calmed down and said, "Who are you listening to? I'm going to kill Bai Yin, won't Ah Yan hate me!"

Lei Yu didn't speak, and stared into Si Weiheng's eyes. Si Weiheng knew that she must have heard his words, so he said: "Qin Yangguo's massive invasion of Shenyu relied on Baishan's sorcery. I'm worried that Baishan will Yin can also use black magic, if he can take the initiative to leave Ah Yan, I will save his life."

Lei Yu heard that he was lying, and became angry, stood up and said sharply: "Si Weiheng, I want you to swear to your father that you will not hurt Young Master Bai!"

Si Weiheng also stood up and said excitedly: "Don't move him? Lei Yu, why do you order me? Don't forget that I am the ruler of Shenyu Kingdom! Ah..."

"Your Majesty!" Han Zhao shouted from the side, cutting off his words in time.

He didn't continue, panting heavily and looking down at Lei Yu, he knew that even if he didn't say the name, Lei Yu would understand.

Lei Yu's heart beat like a drum, what did he mean?For whom?She didn't dare to think any further, her mind went blank.

Suddenly, a man in white came in quietly from the palace gate, wearing a hood, and his footsteps were as light as if they didn't touch the ground: "Hengwang, no, it's time to call you Your Majesty!"

Si Weiheng bypassed Lei Yu who was stunned on the spot, and went up to meet him: "Master National Teacher, please forgive me for being too far away."

Lei Yu turned around in a daze, and saw that the person had taken off his hood, his cheekbones were high, and his tightly pursed lips were slightly raised.

The man bowed lightly to her and said: "I have seen the queen, I am Bai Ran."
