Zheng Lixiao would go to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorials after finishing his morning court on weekdays.

Qin Wenxian came to the door of the imperial study and saw Dexi guarding the door, he said softly: "Eunuch Dexi, I want to see His Majesty, please let me know."

Dexi looked a little embarrassed, "Teacher Shen, Tang Guiren and Concubine Wan are waiting inside..."

Qin Wenxian guessed that he was talking about the two concubines of Zheng Lixiao Xinna, presumably Tang Guiren was the daughter of Tang Chengmeng, and that late concubine was the daughter of another county magistrate.

Hearing the difference in status between the two concubines, I felt that Zheng Lixiao did it on purpose.

"Then...how about I come back later."

Qin Wenxian was about to resign, but Zheng Lixiao heard his voice sharply, "Is it Taifu Shen? Please come in, I happen to have some state affairs to discuss with you."

Qin Wenxian bowed to De Xi, then walked into the imperial study.

Zheng Lixiao was sitting behind the desk reading the memorial, and two well-dressed young women stood behind him, talking to him from time to time.

One was wearing a red dress, with rich makeup and a pretty voice, probably the Tang nobleman.

The other one was wearing purple clothes, tall, with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, but somehow looked weird, probably that evening concubine.

When Qin Wenxian saluted them, he glanced at the two concubines by the way.

Zheng Lixiao put down the memorial and waved to them, "The two beloved concubines go down first, I'm going to discuss state affairs with Shen Taifu."

Concubine Wan took her leave obediently, and walked out with low eyebrows.Tang Guiren was a little unconvinced, and when he left, he sized up Qin Wenxian several times.

After they left, Qin Wenxian said in a low voice, "Then nobleman Tang recognized me, right?"

Zheng Lixiao picked up the brush, wrote a few words on the memorial, and said lazily: "It doesn't matter, you are Shen Qingbai now, Shen Taifu, who can do anything to you? Anyway, Tang Chengmeng and Dou Sanniang already knew that you were in the capital , it would be safer for you to be in the palace, under my nose."

Qin Wenxian understood that he accepted him into the palace because he was thinking of himself, and remembering what Shan Lie said to him, he suddenly felt a little guilty, and lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty, thank you for always thinking of me so much. But I hope you In the future, don't act impulsively like before. Now that the situation is unstable, you don't need to rush to rehabilitate the Qin family, so as not to damage your Majesty's reputation. Your Majesty should treat this Tang nobleman with caution."

"I have my own discretion about the Tang family's affairs." Zheng Lixiao put down the memorial and looked straight at him, "It's you, you thank me, so how do you want to thank me?"

Qin Wenxian: "..."

Zheng Lixiao got up, approached Qin Wenxian, stared at his slightly drooping face, the eyelashes could be seen trembling slightly on that masked face, Zheng Lixiao resisted the urge to take off the mask, and said in a deep voice: " The deep palace is lonely, if you really want to thank me, you can stay with me in the palace, okay?"

"This..." Qin Wenxian's heart felt heavy. If he stayed here, what would Jiang do in the future.If you reject him, how can you be worthy of what he has done to you?

"You're still thinking about Jiang Future, aren't you?"

Zheng Lixiao stared at his face, pinched his chin unbearably, forcing him to look at him, "Qin Wenxian, even if I become the emperor, in your heart, am I still inferior to him?"

Qin Wenxian took a step back, and there was a bookcase behind him, "Your Majesty, you and him are different people, there is no comparison."

Zheng Lixiao took two steps forward, almost forcing him to stick on the bookcase, and said aggressively: "Is it because he was the one who rescued you six years ago?! So you take him so seriously?"

Qin Wenxian: "..."

The opponent's powerful aura enveloped him, making him a little confused for a moment.Since when, the Yi Wang with a flirtatious smile has disappeared, or in other words, he finally showed his sharpness.

Zheng Lixiao pressed Qin Wenxian's shoulder, glared at him and said angrily, "Say it!"

Qin Wenxian closed his eyes, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, you lost your composure."

Zheng Lixiao held his shoulders tightly, and instead of restraining his emotions, he burst out: "Do you know that in the past six years, I have regretted countless times, regretting the day at Haitang Villa, why I didn't follow!

Why didn't someone send you away!In this way, I won't lose news of you for six full years, and can only wait for you to appear again! "

Qin Wenxian's heart seemed to be picked up, and he felt even more guilty, he pursed his lips, "Your Majesty, I know you have done enough for me, I am very grateful..."

"No, you don't know!" Zheng Lixiao stared at him, his eyes flushed slightly, "You will never know, back then I knew how painful it would be to never see you again!"

His voice was a little choked up, and he stretched out his arms to hug Qin Wenxian, "You will never know how painful it is when your eyes can only see that others can't see me!"

The pain in his mouth seemed to materialize, wrapping Qin Wenxian tightly around him, making him unable to move for a while.

It's not that Qin Wenxian didn't feel his sincerity. He knew very well how difficult it was for Zheng Lixiao to grow up in the palace. He walked on thin ice and hid his edge. He survived by himself. He seldom trusted others, but only trusted Give yourself, give your heart to yourself.

But my heart has already been given to someone else...

"Sorry……"

At this time, there was a woo-woo-wa-wah cry from outside, which belonged to the cry of an owl, which made Qin Wenxian wake up suddenly.This is Jiang Future's owl!

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Qin Wenxian apologized again, and pushed Zheng Lixiao away, "Calm down, I'm leaving."

He turned around and ran out of the imperial study room, but he didn't see Zheng Lixiao staring at his back, tears streaming from his red eyes.

Qin Wenxian, when I was that late, would you never belong to me again?

I'm really not reconciled...

On the roof of the imperial study, a taupe owl fluttered away.At the same time, a white shadow quickly passed by.

The white figure walked across the corridor and hid behind the pillars.

Jiang Future originally wanted to wait here for Qin Wenxian to come over. He had already figured out how to punish him, and wished that he would not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

But before Qin Wenxian came over, he heard the footsteps of several women passing by the corridor.

Two court ladies followed a young concubine in purple clothes, and the court lady said: "Empress Wan, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Jiang Future raised his head, unintentionally glanced at the evening concubine, and suddenly stopped, not moving away his astonished gaze for a long time.

This purple-clothed woman looked very docile, with clear features and clear eyes, and her beautiful face was somewhat familiar, especially when she was smiling, very similar to Qin Wenxian's appearance in women's clothing back then.

Six years ago, he intentionally abused Qin Wenxian by letting Qin Wenxian pretend to be a prostitute in Liuzhou Chunyu Tower, under the pseudonym Wantang.

From this point of view, it was not accidental that this woman was conferred by Zheng Lixiao as the evening concubine.

Zheng Lixiao deliberately chose a woman who looked somewhat similar to Qin Wenxian as his concubine.

what does this mean?

Jiang Future's heart suddenly had mixed feelings. He is a man and he can't stand the person he likes being close to another man.

However, just because he likes the same person, he can't see how much this man loves the person he likes.

Jiang Weilai returned to Guanxing Pavilion in a daze, went up to the top floor, and sat alone on the hammock in a daze.

An owl flew from above and landed on his shoulder.As if sensing his low mood, the owl stroked his long hair.

Jiang Weilai tilted his head, lightly touched the owl's taupe feathers, and sighed, "Dandan, how do you really love someone? My parents didn't get the person I love. Maybe I'm more They were lucky, and I got it. But if I imprison him by my side, do I really love him?"

The owl hooted and looked at him with its head tilted, as if it couldn't understand what he was saying.

Jiang Future continued on his own: "If I broke your wings because I love you and want to keep you, would you really still love me?"

The owl seemed to feel the sadness in his words, fluttered its wings, and flew to his feet.

Jiang Future smiled wryly, "Look, even you understand that everyone will stay away from people who harm them, and stay close to those who benefit them. How can someone as smart as him not understand?"

When he lowered his head, he suddenly found that there was a letter tied to the owl's leg.

After Qin Wenxian left the imperial study room, he didn't see Jiang Future's shadow on the roof, so he didn't know where he flew to.

He searched around in the corridor outside, but couldn't find it. He was about to go back to Guanxing Pavilion to see if Jiang Future had gone back.

"Master Shen."

Shan Lie was patrolling around the corridor with a team of imperial guards. When he saw Qin Wenxian, he asked his guards to patrol elsewhere and walked towards Qin Wenxian.

"Single leader."

Qin Wenxian stopped in his tracks, he couldn't ask the commander of the Imperial Forest Army if he saw any burglars coming and going in the palace, so he just shut up and didn't talk about it for the time being.

Shan Lie asked: "Have you gone to see His Majesty? Have you seen those two concubines?"

Qin Wenxian remembered that he broke up with Zheng Lixiao in the imperial study room just now, so he turned his head away uncomfortably and hummed.

Shan Lie frowned slightly and looked at him, "Have you noticed... that evening concubine looks a bit like a person?"

Qin Wenxian really felt that the late concubine was weird, and when he saw Shan Lie say that, he felt even weirder, "Who does it look like? I only looked twice, but didn't look carefully."

Shan Lie sighed, "Don't you think she looks a bit like you?"

Qin Wenxian stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

Why did Zheng Lixiao do this...why did he choose a concubine who looked like him?
