? Huai Jun returned to Renfu Palace, and when he stepped into the front hall, he saw Dong Jing sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.When she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes and met Huai Jun's eyes, what Huai Jun saw was a pair of red almond eyes.

He froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered that three years ago, when he met Chen Pu's red and swollen eyes, it seemed that things had gotten out of hand since that day.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad, but he walked up to Dong Jing and asked softly, "Jing'er, what happened?"

Dong Jing shook his head, clutching the embroidered handkerchief tightly with both hands, struggling whether he should put the matter on the table and make it clear.

"If it's okay, why are you crying?" Huai Jun asked with concern.

"He..." As soon as she opened her mouth, her usually gentle and pleasant voice was a little hoarse, and she closed her mouth after one word.

"Huh?" Huai Jun sat on the opposite seat and looked at her with concern.

Facing his concern, Dong Jing's heart ached involuntarily.She thought of the name that Huai Jun murmured almost every night, and this name overlapped with the Chen Pu she met in Zhaohe Hall that day, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

She could only think unwillingly, he is a good husband, but why should someone else live in her heart?But she was unwilling to let go of this man she had already loved.

Before long, she made a decision.

She slowly opened her beautifully shaped mouth, and spit out two words that Huai Jun didn't expect: "Chen Pu."

After the words came out, she was inexplicably relieved. The name that had been entangled with her all night finally came out of her mouth. However, within a moment, all those jealousies and all those hatreds surged up one by one.

Huai Jun's lips parted slightly, a trace of surprise flitted across his face, and he was a little flustered, but he calmed down quickly.

Presumably Dong Jing knew about Chen Pu's existence, so he had only two choices, either to admit it or to deny it, and when he remembered Chen Pu's extremely wronged words, he chose the former without hesitation.

"You know it all?"

Huai Jun's acknowledgment was equivalent to him picking up a knife and slashing at her heart.In the end, the husband she entrusted to her for life really had someone in her heart.

She bit her lower lip, and the fine embroidered handkerchief was pinched even tighter, she had no choice but to resent Huai Jun and Chen Pu in her heart.

"The concubine is sleeping next to His Highness, how can I not know?" Dong Jing smiled bitterly and said, "You murmured his name every night, you wanted him back, you said you loved him...Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't know That's all."

After hearing this, Huai Jun's mouth became bitter, and he couldn't say any words of comfort.

His mind was full of thoughts about Chen Pu——Pu'er, you are afraid that I will not love you one day, but you are all in my dreams, and I love you so much that I don't even know it, I still love you Is it possible not to love you?

Seeing Huai Jun remain silent, Dong Jing was furious for a moment, and suddenly coughed in pain.

Seeing this, Huai Jun quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her: "Don't talk, let's talk, don't worry."

Finally, the resentment welling up in his heart subsided. Dong Jing stroked his chest, took a sip of water, and eased his breath, then raised his almond eyes and looked directly at Huai Jun: "Your Highness, I understand that men have always They are all three wives and four concubines, not to mention that in the imperial family, there is no such thing as one and the same? In the future, if His Highness wants to marry a concubine or take a concubine, the concubine will take care of it for His Highness one by one, but I hope that I will not I owe you, you just treat me well."

Her words choked Huai Jun's throat like a fish bone, making him speechless.

She then said to herself: "However, Chen Pu can neither marry a wife nor be a concubine. Your Highness, if you put a male favorite in the palace, I'm afraid it will invite people to idle..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huai Jun interrupted forcefully: "Pu'er is not a male favourite."

Seeing him defending Chen Pu, Dong Jing knew that she had lost, or maybe she had never won, she thought sadly, no wonder Chen Pu was still so calm and calm when facing her that day.

Even if she is made the crown prince, how can she beat Chen Pu and get the crown prince's heart?

Taking advantage of her distraction, Huai Jun said in a low voice: "I can't tell you about Pu'er for a moment, but I will never be separated from him in this life. Jing'er, I have treated you well in the past. , and it will be the same in the future.”

Having said this, the jealousy and resentment in Dong Jing's heart turned into endless sadness.Even if he could treat her kindly, but he didn't give her the heart she wanted the most. The sweet dreams of the past three years seemed to melt into a wisp of smoke, gone forever.

She recalled General Dong's teachings in a daze, and also remembered Nianyu's charming little face, and slowly relaxed her hand holding the embroidered handkerchief.

"Your Highness, have you ever loved me?" She asked softly, but in exchange for Huai Jun's hesitant and complicated eyes, she could only smile bitterly and say, "You can lie to me."

Huai Jun suddenly remembered that the emperor gradually neglected Concubine Jun that day, and Concubine Jun's lonely figure overlapped with Dong Jing. He thought that he would not hurt this woman, but in the end, he hurt Chen Pu and Dong Jing. The most hateful thing is that he still goes on resolutely.

At this moment, the only thing he can do is to nod his head and lie to his princess.

Dong Jing smiled sadly, "I hope Your Highness will remember that I will live up to you in the future, and you will treat me well."

"Well, I promise you." Huai Jun promised her, just like Chen Pu.

He thought he could have the best of both worlds, but in the end, everyone lost. The matter may be as Chen Pu said, no matter how you go, someone must be injured.However, Huai Jun insisted on only taking and not giving up, and I am afraid that more people will be hurt.

***

Outside the palace gate, a figure stood.

He raised his head, staring at the tall and magnificent palace with his dark eyes, the best and worst memories of the past flooded up, and he remembered the day he entered the palace and the day he left the palace, and in the end only A sigh.

Thirteen years have passed in a hurry. He always thought that he would never come back, but now he is back. It really is a trick of fate.

He raised his hand and knocked on the palace door. Immediately, a guard half-opened the door, poked his head out and asked, "Who is here?"

"Fan Shaoqian." He said his name calmly.

"It's late at night, my lord, please come back and come back tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'll wait outside."

As soon as the words fell, a series of footsteps came from behind the guards. He turned around and saw that it was Eunuch Li who was the most favored by the Holy One.

Eunuch Li didn't even look at the guards, he just said: "Open the palace gate."

As soon as the palace gate opened, Fan Shaoqian walked in slowly. Eunuch Li looked at Mr. Fan, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and was filled with sadness and joy for a moment, but suppressed his emotions, and just said: "Mr. Fan, you are finally here."

"Eunuch Lao has been waiting for a long time."

Just as in memory, Fan Shaoqian still had that cold temperament, but Eunuch Li knew that he was good-natured and gentle, but the past made him suffer.

He thought again that he might be reluctant to ask him to come back now, but he had to come back for this matter.

Eunuch Li smiled helplessly, and led him into the palace in the dark night.
