Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

*****

Xu Shi had a heart-to-heart connection, and at noon two days later, Xiang Wanchun was finally looking forward to the person he had been thinking about for a long time. Seeing that his mouth was stained red, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and different from his usual elegant appearance, a sense of awe spontaneously arose.It wasn't until seeing Xiang Wanchun that Su Shuangran's cold face melted a little tenderness.

That scene is still fresh in my memory. There was a slight pause for the hand that climbed up, and the past memories flooded into my mind with overwhelming momentum.Suddenly stretched out his hand to push the person away, unable to hold back the burning anger in his heart, Xiang Wanchun's strength was really strong, Su Shuangran then staggered two steps and fell to the ground.

Su Shuangran never expected that Xiang Wanchun would push her away full of disgust.When was it treated like this?All kinds of embarrassment already made her turn her head to the side in shame, and the grievance and resentment in her heart were beyond words.

Su Shuangran didn't let Su Shuangran sit down on the ground with the slightest thought of pity and pity, Xiang Wanchun couldn't hold back his anger and paced back and forth, but he didn't want to reveal the grievances accumulated in his heart.In this way, the huge inner hall can only hear the slight slap of bare feet stepping on the ground.Reluctantly, she couldn't calm down all the time, and Xiang Wanchun felt a headache and pinched her throbbing acupoint.

"...Why are you so cruel that you don't want to let her go?" Her voice was gritty, even Xiang Wanchun couldn't help being surprised by what she said unintentionally, the pity in her trembling voice was not her usual style at all.

Su Shuangran was absent-minded, for a moment she couldn't hear who Xiang Wanchun was referring to, she felt annoyed and still kept her eyebrows raised and looked at, Xiang Wanchun didn't know when she was leaning on the side of the bed, her face was covered by scattered black hair but couldn't cover it Her slightly trembling body and her tightly clenched hands let people see the panic and fragility in her heart.Xiang Wanchun has never shown his weak side, and hides his incompetence and weakness with cruelty and indifference, just to hide the wound in his heart that has healed but can never be erased from being seen by others. The seemingly long two years Xiang Wanchun So live very comfortably.

However, now that he has messed up in front of the culprit and revealed his true colors, how can Xiang Wanchun be reconciled?Zizhu must be like her, looking at Su Shuangran with suspicious and worried eyes, her eyes filled with charm, she said generously without shy away: "Concubine Zhuang is good at calculating, everyone is on guard, Only I have ignored this palace. If Concubine Zhuang wanted to put this palace to death back then, I am afraid that she would not be forced to come here today." Xiang Wanchun has changed her original intention, since she can't let go of the past, how can she tolerate Su Shuangran Peace of mind?

Su Shuangran's face turned pale, but it was because of Xiang Wanchun's sentence that she put Xiang Wanchun to death. It was true that she had ulterior motives in leading Xiang Wanchun into the palace, but she never thought of pushing Xiang Wanchun into a situation of eternal doom.It's a pity that now everything is done by her own hands, the matter has come to this point, how can I not blame her?

"Is Concubine Zhuang regretting it now?" Xiang Wanchun said with a playful smile, "If Nuoyun had repaid the wish she owed me, I should have hidden the market by now instead of arguing with you here. Up or down."

"It's not intentional to bring up the past, what does the imperial concubine think?" Obviously, it's not only Xiang Wanchun who cares, Su Shuangran also doesn't want to bring up the old troubles.

Xiang Wanchun's words were sharp: "That's all for me, Qinglian has been by your side for many years, why is Concubine Zhuang so cruel and disregarding old feelings?"

"...Yes, the noble concubine is right," she clearly felt extremely annoyed by the person in front of her due to her current situation, but in the end she would feel cold and disheartened by the other person's words. Su Shuangran hesitated for a while and then responded to Xiang Wanchun. What he said was half true and half false, "The robbery of Lin'an Temple was done on purpose, how could my concubine allow that man to escape the law, this debt will be recovered by death." Ran's face was peaceful, and only she knew about the lingering fear in her heart. She couldn't let go of what that man did that night.

"Since I have known it for a long time, Concubine Zhuang can still pretend not to let Qinglian serve by her side. I am full of admiration. It is no wonder that Concubine Zhuang will send Qinglian to serve me around later." Xiang Wanchun laughed when he heard the words, "I don't want to think about the things in the past, Concubine Zhuang actually endured until that time before deciding to bring down Concubine Hui. Concubine Zhuang is so patient... I am really surprised."

"Concubine Hui and her concubines have had a long-standing grievance, and everyone in the harem knows about it. The imperial concubine has a clear eye, so why doesn't she know about it?" Xiang Wanchun's current status, why can't he find out what he wants to know?Afraid that people already knew it well, and intentionally asked the question just for the sake of a joke, Su Shuangran naturally couldn't do what she wanted, and replied in a calm voice.

"If you want to say who has the most thorough mind, I think it must be Concubine Zhuang," Xiang Wanchun seemed to be saying to himself, "If Concubine Zhuang hadn't discovered Qinglian's mind, she wouldn't have forced her to submit to her end Involve Concubine Hui in it. Since Concubine Zhuang is so capable, did you already know what I wanted and used it to make use of it?" The voice of the last sentence suddenly turned cold, and Xiang Wanchun stared sharply at Su Shuangran's face.

"Ben Gong believed you at the time," Xiang Wan asked again with a slightly self-deprecating voice, "How could you have made Ben Gong betray Qinglian and be loyal to you instead?!" Su Shuangran had nothing to say but it wasn't Feeling ashamed about Qinglian's matter, Shen Ran didn't say anything because Xiang Wanchun's disgust for her was so deep.However, the two have already fallen out, how much hope can they have in their hearts?If you can't look back, why hang on to the past, Su Shuangran thought, and the turbulent thoughts calmed down again.

"Seeing Bengong being teased by you, Concubine Zhuang must feel silly and ridiculous." Xiang Wanchun sighed, "How can I say that Bengong and Qinglian are closer, In the end, he was fooled by Concubine Zhuang's few words into believing that Qinglian was the one who harmed me, and then he became even more delusional in believing that Concubine Zhuang was the one who treated me most sincerely."

"...Speaking of which, I don't blame you," Xiang Wanchun said, "It's because I don't know the dangers of the harem, and I was deceived by your pretense. It's my own fault." Su Shuangran just listened silently from the beginning to the end, Waiting for Xiang Wanchun to feel comfortable before making another plan. After all, arguing with others at this time will definitely not get any benefit, so it is better to wait for the opportunity.

"Come, come here." Xiang Wanchun suddenly hooked his hands at the person, and his soft voice couldn't hide his boredom and exhaustion.Su Shuangran didn't know what Xiang Wanchun was planning, and hesitated to move forward.

"Hey, come here," this time the voice was much softer than before, Xiang Wanchun coaxed intimately, "It's cold on the ground, come and sit." Su Shuangran was also having a hard time coping at this time, so far he can only see tricks.

Finding a piece of clothes on the ground to wrap her body, Su Shuangran walked slowly to Xiang Wanchun, stretched out her hand and said, "Don't sit on the ground, the imperial concubine, go back to the bed."

Xiang Wanchun did not accept her kindness, but moved his hand to hold Su Shuangran's ankle, raised his head and said with a smile, "... they are dead, they are all dead, you killed them all."
