Ten years of dedication to the king

But in just three days, it felt like years.

The desolation of Nagato Palace made Chu Xiran shudder. He was afraid that he would feel like he would be abandoned here until he died, just like the out-of-favored concubines who were imprisoned here in the past and could never get out, letting their faces grow old and their bodies rot .

They laughed foolishly, with wrinkled ugly and old faces, stretched black fingers, smeared with the worst rouge, and asked over and over again in the dilapidated palace wall: "When will the emperor come to see my concubine?" ?”

Even through a blocked palace door, he could still smell the rotten smell there, as if there was also the crazy voice, the madness mixed with crying and laughing.

So, every night there are always nightmares, there is the cry of a child, asking him why he wanted to kill him, and then He Lan Ruoming's face, he said, Xiran, you killed my child, I wish I could kill you!

Always woke up at this time, Chu Xiran was thinking about the previous dream, and then couldn't stop shaking, the only way to calm down was by clutching the jade pendant that He Lan gave him on the night of the wedding.

On the fourth day, the Nagato Palace welcomed an uninvited guest, Murong Zhaohua, a weak woman after a miscarriage who was gnashing her teeth, her pale face flushed with resentment.

"You killed my child!"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Chu Xiran straightened his clothes and stood up.

"why?"

"You know, no one wants you to give birth to an heir who can inherit the throne."

"No!" Murong screamed, "He loves me!"

Chu Xiran was startled when he heard the words, and after seeing Murong's firm eyes, he realized that this proud woman was hopelessly in love with He Lan Ruoming.Presumably He Lan is so gentle and considerate to her every time, so affectionate, she can't help being tempted.

The bitter taste spread, and Chu Xiran felt dizzy. She didn't know if it was because of the panic these days, or because of Murong's words that he loves me.

love?He really wanted to ask Murong, if he also hugged you affectionately, so tight that he couldn't breathe; Is it a restless heart?

If he did this to you too, does that count as love?

"Chu Xiran, you killed my child, and I will make you pay the price!"

Those scorching hate-burning eyes seemed to burn two holes in Chu Xiran's body, and before he could react, he was pinned in the corner by two guards.

"Give it to him!" Murong ordered.

Chu Xiran tried to struggle, but found that her body was so weak that she couldn't bear a single blow.

"Don't worry, I won't be so stupid as to kill you now, this is just boiled chili oil, it will burn your throat and make you unable to speak again." Murong admired the tragedy that was about to happen, as if Only in this way can she slightly relieve the pain of losing her son.

The scalding hot chili oil flowed down his throat, Chu Xiran was so painful that he almost fainted, every inch of his body was sensitive to the intense pain that almost burned his whole body, it was scorching hot, tearing people apart, burst into pieces.

"What are you doing!" It was He Lan's voice.

The torture finally stopped amidst the drinking, and Chu Xiran fell to the ground, pinching his throat with both hands, and pustules were scalded on his mouth, which was still bleeding.

"Your Majesty, it was he who killed our child, and this concubine wants to avenge that poor child and make this bitch's life worse than death!" Murong cried and fell into He Lan's arms, with a sad and delicate look on his face. Pitiful.

"Rong'er, the matter hasn't been investigated yet, how can you use torture in private?" He Lan put his arms around his Concubine Rong and comforted him in a low voice, "Leave it to me, if it's really him, I will definitely make the decision for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Murong nodded obediently, while weeping softly.

Chu Xiran looked at the embracing people in front of her through her blurred eyes, and suddenly felt that it was ridiculous, so she really laughed, but she didn't want to affect the wound on her mouth, and passed out.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed, the wound on his mouth had been medicated, it was not as painful as before, and there was still a bit of coolness, but his throat was still burning with pain.He tried to open his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all. He fumbled in the dark and tried to get up, only to realize that someone was sitting by the couch.

"Don't worry, the imperial doctor said it's only temporary, after a while the injury will heal and you will be able to talk." Knowing his worry, He Lan quickly relieved him.

Chu Xiran stared at He Lan's silhouette in a daze in the dark, thinking it was his hallucination.

Seeing this, He Lan had no choice but to climb onto the bed and pull him into her arms, and said softly, "Be patient for a few more days, and I will take you out."

Chu Xiran was even more puzzled, and wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sentence at all.

"I know you didn't do it anymore, you didn't kill Xiaoyi's child."

Chu Xiran lowered her head, and couldn't help sneering, the emperor did the investigation quite quickly, but he figured it out within four days, but if that's the case, why didn't he just speak up for him in front of Concubine Rong?

"Xiran, I've wronged you these days!" He Lan patted his back and continued, "Look at you, you've become so thin in just a few days, I'm so tired of holding you, I have to make up for you later. "

Seeing that Chu Xiran didn't respond, he continued to talk to himself: "I've been worried for the past few days, if I didn't happen to come to see you today, your voice would really be ruined."

He Lan's words made Chu Xiran shudder when he thought of the pain in his throat when the hot oil slid down his throat.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" He Lan comforted her softly, but found it was futile.

Chu Xiran trembled even more violently, biting her tightly closed lips, causing blood to ooze out from the place where pustules were still present after taking the medicine, and a trace of it penetrated into her heart.

"I will never let them hurt you again, never again!" He Lan hugged Chu Xiran like a baby, feeling the person's cold body trembling from fear, feeling a little helpless.

But the person in his arms suddenly became quiet because of these words, but he held onto the clothes on his chest desperately and didn't let go.

"I promise you!" He Lan breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the hands that were pulling her clothes, and kissed them delicately.

The corners of Chu Xiran's mouth slowly rose, smiling where He Lan couldn't see.

Dad once said that retreating is the way to advance.This time, he did it, using his own suffering, using his cowardly side, to get more love from him, and made him forget the fact that he did kill one of his children with his own hands, even though that child was originally not loved. What was allowed to be born was his blood after all.

On the day Chu Xiran was sent back to Yonghe Palace, the sky was surprisingly clear, as if nothing had happened, it was still so quiet and peaceful.But everyone knows that this harem has been turned upside down. Concubine Shu, who originally controlled the harem with one hand, was bestowed to death in her Changchun Palace by the emperor's one-foot white silk.

Concubine Rong, who had just lost her son and was in great grief, took over Concubine Shu's temporary management of the harem affairs. Li Zhaoyi was also made a concubine, but she was extremely weak due to a miscarriage and could not afford to be ill for a long time.As a result, Concubine Yi's Chengqian Palace has become a place where the emperor often visits recently. He often goes there when he is free during the day, and often stays overnight at night.

And Chu Xiran also sent supplements and treasures to the palace every day, but He Lan Ruoming was rarely seen.

By the time Chu Xiran recovered from his injury, it was already summer.

The lotus in the pond of the imperial garden is full of water, beautiful and moving, it is a good season to appreciate the lotus.

At night, a stage was set up in the brightly lit imperial garden, and a long-lost banquet was set up, which was even more lively than New Year's Eve.The empress dowager led all the concubines in the harem to drink tea and admire the lotus and watch the moon. They were so uncomfortable and happy. Although it was only superficial, they were also festive.

As the only male concubine in the harem, Chu Xiran always felt that she was out of place among a bunch of women, so she quietly left the table, dismissed the people around her, and stared at the lotus in the pond alone in a daze.

Just looking at all the bustling things on the other side, it seems that I have become illusory, and the bits and pieces of this year flashed in my mind, with indescribable emotion and bewilderment.

I couldn't help but sighed, but I heard a voice from a dark corner: "It's fine, why are you sighing?"

Chu Xiran turned her head to look, and was surprised to find that He Lan Ruoming, who was supposed to be grading papers in the imperial study, appeared from a dark corner at this moment, looking at him curiously.

Then He Lan said, "I haven't been to your place for a long time, how are you doing?"

For a moment, Chu Xiran thought that everything in front of him was just an illusion, and it would not be too much to say that he was thinking about it too much, but in the next moment, the familiar embrace invaded his upper body, and the man held him close to him, and said, "Why? ?Silly?"

"It's been a long time." Chu Xiran suddenly felt that his tone was like a resentful woman, but he couldn't stop muttering: "I almost forgot what the emperor looks like."

"No conscience, it's a shame that I still think about you every day." He Lan said jokingly, but looked at the lights on the other side.

If Chu Xiran could look back at the helplessness in He Lan's eyes at this moment, maybe he wouldn't miss that person's unconcealable feelings, but he didn't, so he wouldn't know that this person who hasn't set foot in his Yonghe Palace for a long time Today, how many times did he get up late at night and stand outside his palace, wandering around until he finally left.

It's not that he doesn't miss him, he almost wished he could sleep in his arms every night, just like the time when the class teacher returned to Beijing.However, he didn't dare, the actions against the Chu family had already started to move around, the closer he got to Chu Xiran, the more he didn't know how to face everything that might happen in the future.

Standing in front of Chu Xiran, he could no longer be indifferent, and he was even afraid of what it would be like if one day he had to end his life with his own hands.However, Chu Xiran's words broke all the deliberate alienation that had been painstakingly managed.

He said, "Ruoming, I miss you."

I miss you.Just three words caused He Lan Ruoming's rationality to collapse. He hugged Chu Xiran tightly, and then slowly let go after a long time.At that time, he made a decision that no matter what the future holds, at least in the only time he has, he will give him all the love of his life.Maybe in this way, I won't regret that I didn't hold him tightly during the remaining time.

Two years flew by in the blink of an eye, and after counting, Chu Xiran had been in this harem for three full years.

He is no longer that 16-year-old flower-like young boy, and he has long since given up his dream of going out of the palace. The 19-year-old Chu Xiran often thought that perhaps he was destined to die in this place. From the first step into the palace gate, there was no turning back.

But when I was young, but my heart was big, I didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and wanted to be alone in this muddy water. How can a person who got into the mud be truly unstained?

He felt that he was becoming more and more like the dead concubine Shu, hiding deep eyes, calculating every step of the way, even a smile, it was difficult to be real again.

Life in the palace has changed him too much, but he is powerless to bring back the former self.Every time he looked at himself in the bronze mirror who was becoming more and more enchanting, he would wonder whether that Chu Xiran who was running on the grassland on a horse had long since died.

After another beginning of autumn, the weather turns cooler

Chu Xiran was lazily lying on the imperial concubine chair, eating grapes, flipping through the books in her hands, and passing the time bored.

"Master, the emperor just came down and went to Concubine Yi's place." Xiao Shunzi leaned forward and replied softly.

"Hmph." Chu Xiran sneered, threw the book in his hand, stood up and said to Xiao Shunzi, "Practice the sword."

Xiao Shunzi immediately waited on Chu Xiran and changed into a tight-fitting long gown. Instead of plain white in the past, it was a bright red background with golden silk patterns, which was gorgeous and compelling.

Chu Xiran pursed her lips and smiled at the bronze mirror, took off the long sword hanging on the wall, and turned around to head towards the backyard.

Xiao Shunzi followed behind him, and couldn't help thinking, this hundred-step beauty is nothing more than that, the master's beauty is really not comparable to those vulgar fans.While Xiao Shunzi was still in a daze, Chu Xiran was already dancing his sword self-consciously. The silver light surrounded his body, moving with the red light of his clothes. I don't know if the red was dyed with silver, or the silver was wrapped around him. red.

When everything was still, Chu Xiran's face was dripping with sweat, but he glanced at him with a smile, bent the corner of his eyes and said, "How long are you going to peek?"

Under the shade of the tree, He Lan Ruoming came slowly, raised his sleeves to wipe Chu Xiran's sweat, and said, "Xiran's swordsmanship has become more and more superb. It seems that I don't need personal guards in the future. With Xiran around, I will be a big brother." I'm relieved."

"Your Majesty, are you praising me, or are you making fun of me? My swordsmanship is comparable to yours, but the little witch sees the big witch, and I am ashamed to death." Chu Xiran handed the sword to Xiao Shunzi, and turned his head. He glanced at He Lan again.

"You still hold grudges, huh?" He Lan smiled and recalled the situation of the two sword competitions at that time. When the man lost, he stomped his feet and threw his sword unwillingly.

"Also!" Chu Xiran gritted his teeth angrily. He really didn't understand that this seemingly gentle and quiet emperor had better swordsmanship than a major general who had led troops to the battlefield.

"Get up to practice swords so early, why don't you lie down for a while?" He Lanla and Chu Xiran went back to the room and ordered breakfast.

"Get up and move if you can't sleep." Chu Xiran took the preserved egg and lean meat osmanthus porridge from He Lan, smashed it a few times to cool it down, and then put it in his mouth, and asked unintentionally with the porridge in his mouth: " Is there nothing important going on today?"

"The world is peaceful, what can be the big deal?" He Lan glanced at the people who were buried in the porridge: "Don't just drink the porridge, try this plum cake."

"Plum cake? Concubine Yi likes it, but I don't!" Chu Xiran frowned, and pushed away the food that He Lan handed to his mouth, "Why didn't you go to Chengqian Palace today?"

"Your ability to be jealous is getting better every day!" He Lan put down the plum cake in her hand and said with a smile, "I just came to tell you that Xiaoyi is pregnant again."

Chu Xiran suddenly remembered that in the spring two years ago, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong had a miscarriage, she was almost made dumb by Murong in Nagato Palace, and Concubine Shu was bestowed to death in the end.

He never thought that the person who secretly killed two birds with one stone would be Concubine Shu.Too many doubts made him wonder whether Concubine Shu's death was deserved, or there were other reasons.And He Lan's answers are always vague, making people even more confused.It's just that the dead are gone, and no one cares about the truth of the past.

And now, Concubine Yi is pregnant with the dragon species again.Such news made him not know how to say "Congratulations" with a smile, as if there was a cat's paw scratching in his heart, so he could only keep silent.

"The emperor has fulfilled his wish." Chu Xiran suddenly stood up and walked outside.

"Xi Ran, let's have breakfast!" He Lan looked at half of the porridge in the bowl.

"No appetite, the emperor takes it slowly."

Chu Xiran's waywardness has become more and more presumptuous under He Lan's pampering, but He Lan still tolerates it. This kind of tolerance and pampering makes Chu Xiran more and more flustered day by day, but he can't extricate himself.

Nalan often lives in Chuxiu Palace.When Chu Xiran entered the door, she was trimming flower branches, looking so gentle and refined.

"Nalan." Chu Xiran called, and saw the woman in front turned to look at him, smiled and nodded, "Why are you here?"

"Accompany me for a drink."

"What wine to drink during the day, why not try the hibiscus tea I made myself." Nalan beckoned Chu Xiran to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Hibiscus tea?" Chu Xiran picked up the celadon tea bowl in front of him curiously, lifted the lid and smelled it, and it was really fragrant, and after a sip, it was even sweeter and more delicious.

"Good tea." Chu Xiran said with a smile, "My sister always hides good things here!"

"It's just tea. It's not a good thing. It's just that this hibiscus tea must be brewed in the hibiscus spring to show its mellow fragrance." Nalan smiled and looked at Chu Xiran who was half a year younger than him.

"Why can't it be considered a good thing? The emperor knows that my sister loves tea, and has always collected good tea to send here. No other palace can ask for it."

"Chu Xiran!" Nalan shouted suddenly, with a sense of reproach.

"Sister, are you really not willing?" Chu Xiran lowered her head and said slowly, "Concubine Yi is already pregnant with a dragon seed."

"Xiran, I told you earlier that I will not get involved in the muddy waters of the harem. My heart is dead, and now I just want to be peaceful in the palace of old death."

"But can you just watch me die?"

"Death? Xiran, you won't die. The emperor loves you and loves you, so why is he willing to let you die?" Nalan didn't understand, how could this person who was put in the palm of the hand and protected by today's emperor be so uneasy.

"The color is fading and the love is loose, not to mention that I have always been a man. In a few years, without the soft and delicate youth, he will not like it."

"So you want to send me to the emperor and give birth to an heir to protect you?"

Nalan's cold voice expounded the facts, which made Chu Xiran feel ashamed.

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

"There's nothing I'm sorry about. But Xiran, you've become more and more these days." Nalan looked at Chu Xiran's eyes that were getting wet, but he had to say, "Ruyi's death was caused by you." yes."

Chu Xiran raised her head suddenly, frightened but didn't know how to explain.

"She was just making a plan to regain the favor of the emperor, but you found someone to frame her when she was about to succeed, and made her a crime of disobeying women and deceiving the emperor. She is a woman, how could she endure such slander and commit suicide? It's something you and I can expect."

"Wrong." Chu Xiran suddenly laughed, and said with a slight smile, "Sister, you are wrong, she didn't commit suicide, I forced her to drink Hedinghong."

"Wrong." Chu Xiran suddenly laughed, and said with a slight smile, "Sister, you are wrong, she didn't commit suicide, I forced her to drink Hedinghong."

Nalan asked in disbelief, "From Murong's child to Ruyi's death, what have you been doing?"

"I just try my best to stay by that person's side. Is it wrong?" Chu Xiran looked at his hands and kept repeating: "Am I wrong? I just don't want to be abandoned, I'm not wrong."

"Xiran, you..." Nalan sighed, but couldn't bear to blame her anymore, because she deeply felt the despair and sadness of the man in front of her.

Nalan Qi, nineteen years old, is only a few months older than Chu Xiran. After Chu Xiran got acquainted with her, he liked to call her Nalan or elder sister.

In fact, Chu Xiran originally got close to Nalan because of her specialness, just like what He Lan Ruoming said, Nalan is the only clear and clean person in this palace.While Chu Xiran was envious of her being different, she was annoyed at the same time, because in the past, she was so calm and innocent, and only wanted to stay away from disputes and seek peace.

But looking back at the past few years, he has somehow fallen into an unknown deadlock.Although he is favored in every possible way now, how could it not make people feel uncomfortable when a man is jealous of a bunch of women?

However, he still really likes and respects Nalan.He even said that he felt sorry for Nalan.

Before Nalan entered the palace, he had a lover, but it was a pity that the other party was just a small guard, and although Nalan's family was not a famous family in power, they could be regarded as hereditary court officials.

According to the saying at the time, this relationship was just fishing for moons in water after all, and it was nothing.

But Nalan's temper is much more stubborn than her soft appearance.On the night when she was arrested for elopement, she went on a hunger strike and knelt down, begging her father to help her.But the final result was that as long as she knelt, the guard was whipped for as long as she did, and she was destined to be the loser.

So, in order to save his life, the guard chose to leave his hometown, and he lost his news from then on.And Nalan had no choice but to enter the palace, and became Nalan's regular presence today.But her heart is dead, it can't burn anymore, those loves are all a thing of the past.

Nalan said, "Xiran, you have to be able to take on and let go of feelings, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."

Chu Xiran felt that Nalan at that time seemed to turn into dust in the blink of an eye.

"It's getting late, you should go back."

Nalan gave the order to evict the guest, and Chu Xiran had no choice but to get up and leave.

Nalan once said, "Although you and I are both concubines of the emperor's harem, men and women are different after all, too much contact will not be good for you and me", so they always get along like this occasionally, like the friendship between gentlemen, But in this palace, they have established a rare friendship and know each other well.

"Xiran." Nalan suddenly called Chu Xiran who was leaving.

Chu Xiran turned her head, only to hear Nalan say to him solemnly: "Don't lose your heart, this way it won't hurt too much."

Chu Xiran was startled, but she opened her mouth but didn't know how to respond, so she just nodded and turned to leave.

Back at Yonghe Palace, Chu Xiran saw that rare person who was waiting for him, He Lan Ruoming.

"Where did you go? Come back so late?" He Lan's tone was obviously displeased.

"Chuxiu Palace, go and see that Nalan Chang is here." Chu Xiran told the truth, he knew that even if he didn't mention that person, he would know.

"I don't see you running to other concubines, why do you like to go there where Nalan often lives?" He Lan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, are you jealous of me, or of Nalan Changzai?" Chu Xiran sarcastically smiled, turned back to the inner room and took off his outer robe.

"What do you think?" He Lan Ruoming followed closely, embracing him close to his body, pulling the whole person into his arms and rubbing him.

"Be serious, it's not dark yet!" Chu Xiran walked around with a smile, took a light nightgown from the closet, and prepared to change into it.

"Xiran, after autumn, it's a three-year draft."

As soon as He Lan finished speaking, Chu Xiran dropped the nightgown from his hand, and the whole room became quiet.

Chu Xiran still didn't speak, but silently picked up her nightgown and put it on, tightened her belt, then turned around and looked back with a smile, "I won't allow it!"

He Lan frowned slightly, sighed and said, "This is the ancestor's rule!"

"Just don't!" Once Chu Xiran became stubborn, he was often extremely stubborn, "Believe it or not, I used the Chu family's [-] troops to flatten your Forbidden City. Let's see how you pick girls!"

"Nonsense! Chu Xiran, are you threatening me!"

He Lan Ruoming's roar resounded through the roof, but Chu Xiran was unmoved. He looked coldly at He Lan's distorted face due to anger, and said softly, "He Lan Ruoming, what do I, Chu Xiran, belong to you?"

In fact, Chu Xiran regretted it as soon as she said it.He shouldn't be so impulsive, knowing that the military talisman is the most taboo thing of the Chu family and the current royal family, but he blurted out it out of his head.If one is not careful, it may be a catastrophe. How could he be so irrational at this time?

He calmed down, avoided He Lan Ruoming's questioning with a calm voice, and asked instead: "He Lan Ruoming, what do I, Chu Xiran, belong to you?"

He Lan didn't answer, just gasped, and looked at Chu Xiran's pale face without blinking.

"Concubine? Male pet? Is it the chess you are holding?" Chu Xiran took a deep breath and continued: "He Lan Ruoming, is your deep affection true or false? Have you ever loved me? Even for a while A little bit?"

"I can spoil you, indulge you, and like you, but I will not only spoil you and like you alone, and I will not love you, because I am the emperor of Tiancheng Kingdom, the king of a country!"

He Lan Ruoming's words seemed to have woken Chu Xiran up, he still smiled, his voice was still slow, and he said, "A while ago you told me that your favorite concubine was pregnant with a dragon seed, and today you told me that you want to draft a girl, Have you ever thought about how I feel?

"Because you are the emperor, I have to wait for your arrival every night; because you are the emperor, I have to endure you staying in different palaces every night; because you are the emperor, I have to smile and congratulate other women who are pregnant with you." children?

"He Lan Ruoming, why do you want me to bear so much and endure so much even though you are the emperor? I am also a man, a man with dignity and feelings!" Chu Xiran said, feeling that this play is very good. It was so hard and true that even my heart ached, and my eyes became blurred, as if a liquid had slid across my face, warm and salty.

He heard his numb voice say: "He Lan Ruoming, why did I enter this harem? Why did I meet you? Why did I fall in love with you?"

He Lan looked at Chu Xiran's tearful face in shock, and reached out to wipe away the tears for him, but because of the other party's dodge, he stopped in mid-air.He saw Chu Xiran suddenly smile, it was still that bright and brilliant smile, as if the person who was crying just a moment ago wasn't him at all.

"Okay, from now on I will be your concubine and keep my duty as Concubine Chu!"

That touch of relief, that touch of giving up, He Lan Ruoming had no time to catch them, and they disappeared without a trace. He Lan watched him spontaneously unbutton his nightgown and stand naked in front of him. For the first time, he had the thought of running away. .

But Chu Xiran didn't give him a chance, and while undressing him, he said, "Your Majesty, let my concubine serve you."

The lights in the Yonghe Palace went out, and it was another night of ups and downs, and another night of entanglement, but that night, someone buried something with his own hands, and he called it: the heart.

After that night, Chu Xiran was still the same Chu Xiran, but she was no longer the same Chu Xiran.

Every time He Lan looked at Chu Xiran who was smiling seductively at him, but couldn't see a smile in his eyes, he felt inexplicably bored.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Xiran played with the Ye Mingzhu in his hand with a smile, teasing He Lan Ruoming.

"What do you think of this year's show girl?" He Lan paid attention to the expression on Chu Xiran's face, but didn't notice anything unusual.

"It's okay, there are a few of them who are pretty, and they must meet the emperor's wishes." Chu Xiran's tone was always calm.

"It's all girls this year." He Lan said.

"Hehe, yes, I'm enough for this harem evildoer." Chu Xiran looked up at He Lan and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget about the old one when you have a new love!"

"Jealous?" He Lan smiled and pulled Chu Xiran into her arms.

"Yeah, I'm so jealous!" Chu Xiran leaned on her familiar chest, sniffing the faint ambergris on his body.

Since Concubine Rong had a miscarriage, He Lan never used musk again, because the imperial physician said that Concubine Rong had inhaled too much musk and had taken safflower, so not only would the fetus be lost, but it would be even more difficult to conceive in the future.

Of course, only He Lanruo, Chu Xiran, and the imperial physician knew this, and besides, no one knew about it.

Therefore, every time he looked at Concubine Rong who was showing off her power in front of him, he always felt sad for her in his heart, so he deliberately gave her three points.

Chu Xiran sneered in his heart, buried his face in He Lan's arms, and asked, "Which new girl's green head card will the emperor want to find tonight?"

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow, how about I keep you tonight?"

"You have stayed with me for three consecutive days. Concubine Yi is still pregnant with a dragon child, so you don't want to go and see?" Chu Xiran said so, but his hands restlessly rubbed He Lan's chest.

"That's true. It's true that I haven't visited Xiaoyi for several days." He Lan deliberately got up and pulled Chu Xiran away.

"You!" Chu Xiran suddenly widened her eyes in anger.

"I see you are still pretending to be generous, huh?" He Lan smiled and raised Chu Xiran's chin, kissed him softly, and said, "I don't remember you being generous before."

"Hmph, don't use the virtuous and virtuous to frame me!" Chu Xiran said as he pulled He Lan Ruoming, bit the other's lip hard, and licked his tongue in satisfaction until the blood was on his face, saying : "Anyway, it's a monster, so I have nothing to be afraid of!"

"Little wild cat." He Lan licked his bleeding lips with his fingers, looked at Chu Xiran who was staring at him proudly, suddenly confused, which one is the real him?

The entry of a new and beautiful girl into the palace undoubtedly broke the stable situation of the three pillars in the harem, and everything became turbulent and uncertain.A reincarnation of three years, perhaps, is destined to owe more and more debts like this.

"Is there any movement in the other palace?" Chu Xiran asked, carefully wiping her piano.

"Back to master, there is no news yet." Xiao Shunzi took the silk cloth that Chu Xiran handed back.

"Hmph, I want to see who can't help it first."

Chu Xiran sat up straight and plucked the strings with her fingers. Suddenly, a song "Song of a Beauty" came down.

The man who was cold to the harem before was gone, only the quiet luthier was left, with his face downcast, his cheeks covered by loose hair, and his face could not be seen clearly.

I only learned the piano from a musician in the palace in the past year.Who made the life in the harem too boring, and he couldn't pass the time by dancing swords all day long. After all, it's not justified for a concubine to fight with swords and swords all day long.

On a certain day a year ago, He Lan invited musicians to play the song "Wang Ning Mei" at the banquet.After the song was over, Chu Xiran realized that she had already burst into tears, and she had unknowingly lost her soul to Qin, and made fun of He Lan for a long time.

However, the bitterness caused by the qin music could not go away no matter what, so he begged He Lan to allow him to learn the qin from the musician, just to pass the time.

He Lan agreed.However, Chu Xiran had never played the piano in front of He Lan.He said, how dare a beginner show his shame in front of the emperor.He Lan laughed at him because he was shy, but he didn't say a word, only he knew that the qin was the sound of his heart, and when he was playing the qin, he was his most vulnerable self, how could he see it?

If life is only as it was first seen, why is the west wind sadly painting a fan.

Chu Xiran thought that one day he would play a song in front of He Lan Ruoming.He wants to tell him that if life is just like the first time he saw it, he would rather live under that gentle smile and not wake up.

It's not like now, the oath is still in my ears, but things are different.

Perhaps, He Lan Ruoming has never changed, and the only person who is changing is always him, Chu Xiran.
