In the afternoon of that day, Fang Jingxuan staggered back to the corner of the street. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar had long since disappeared in the crowd, but those words were like sharp knives, piercing out his heart—you, a person who has transformed himself, shame on you. Be with you! ——In the boy's clear light brown eyes, Fang Jingxuan seemed to vaguely see Jiao Yayuan's sneer, Yang Zhong's indifference, every face looked down on him, and he was so ridiculed that he scolded: "It's a matter of shame, shame and shame." peers.The estrangement of the people in the court affairs, the gloating of others, the clear intention of breaking up with the same sect... He knew it all, and he had expected it, but... He also knew that there are thousands of scholars in the world, and they need someone to support them. Stand up, even if this person will endure great humiliation and hardship, Fang Jingxuan admits it, this is Fang Jingxuan's crime... Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want...

After all, living is harder than dying.

Looking at the flow of people in front of him, he felt that all his thoughts were so ridiculous and lonely.

"Lord Fang," came the voice of an old woman, and Fang Jingxuan who was standing on the corner of the street looked back blankly, only to see an old lady in a black robe walking towards herself supported by someone.The old man wore a ring of silver in his gray hair.Fang Jingxuan knew her, and the person who came was the old lady of the Qin family, who was the mother of Qin Dekai, the former fifth-rank Jing Zhaoyin, who was named Yiren by the imperial court.Unexpectedly, Qin Yiren respectfully gave Fang Jingxuan a salute, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for saving Mian Qi today. What I said earlier was that Mian Qi was young and ignorant, and my Qin family was unable to teach me well. Please don't blame Master Fang!"

Fang Jingxuan had a wry smile on his face, he didn't dare to neglect to return the gift, and murmured: "No, Young Master Qin is right."

"No," Qin Yiren hurriedly said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Fang's benevolence, which influenced Nasha——today, how could this capital be as peaceful as it is now. Mr. Fang pretends to be all people in his heart, wronged himself, and took the place of the world. A bloody disaster has been avoided. Even if Mian Qi would not have thought of the twists and turns, how could we, the older generation, not know about Mr. Fang's good intentions."

"Benevolence?!" Fang Jingxuan raised her head suddenly, with an indescribably exaggerated and weird expression on her face, as if she had heard the funniest words in her life, and it seemed that the distorted resentment in her heart burst forth for a while, and she had to count them all Hold back, feeling cold all over your body for a while.

"Thank you, Fang Jingxuan, for your love."

In the palace, Bei Gongdi's ridicule came from a high place: "For the benefit of the country? Ha, Mr. Fang means that I am a national thief? In the past, when Emperor Wenxi was deceived by treacherous officials, these people steal their lives for profit and work for tigers; now The clouds are open to see the sun, but in turn they sing the praises. I don’t understand, whitewashing the past, and the two ends of the officials have turned into great benefits for the country?”

Fang Jingxuan raised her head slowly, and met Bei Gongdi's eyes for the first time.There was neither sadness nor joy on that face, and Bei Gongdi only read a sentence from his eyes separated by half a hall:

Are you satisfied?

Are you satisfied...

... All of these, the deliberate use of the topic these days, the humiliation in front of the public, suppressed Fang Jingxuan to this point, forced everyone to betray their relatives, and tasted what it was like to be alone, but... did he fulfill the emperor's will?

The atmosphere in the Golden Luan Hall seemed to freeze.Bei Gongdi held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, his fingertips turned white, and the anger in his heart stopped abruptly, like a fire that had lost its fuel, gradually dying out.For some reason, the strong hatred and distorted revenge that existed in his heart seemed to have become somewhat meaningless, and even suddenly became ethereal.

Bei Gongdi still had an extremely angry expression on his face. He looked at the face that was staring at him, his eyes flicked across the pale complexion, the black eye sockets, and he was a little haggard.His heart suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.How Fang Jingxuan made himself into such a state, he is very clear.

The pleas of Chen Xiayang and Yang Zirong still echoed in the hall, and all the ministers knelt on the ground under Long Yan's anger, terrified.However, Bei Gongdi felt that the main hall had lost its voice at this moment, and only Fang Jingxuan was left staring at him.

"That's all." He waved his hand coldly, as if he wanted to drive away the inexplicable sense of loss and exhaustion in his heart.In Fang Jingxuan's eyes, he froze in an unnatural way, and said: "Back off! I'll just leave my words here and let the past go! This matter is over now, don't bring it up again!"

Bei Gongdi played with the jade wrench in his hand, took a sip of wine, and looked at the beautiful woman dancing gracefully in front of her. Her eyes were full of autumn water and her skin was creamy. Looking at Bei Gongdi, there was soul-stirring affection in her eyes.Bei Gongdi leaned on the bed, his eyes lingered on her curvaceous body, and he heard the sobs of the musician next to him playing the flute, enjoying it very much.

"The queen is here!" There was a call from outside the courtyard, and Bei Gongdi's posture remained unchanged, still in that leisurely and carefree manner.A tall and graceful figure appeared at the door, and she came to Bei Gongdi's side, her red lips parted slightly and said, "Concubine sees Your Majesty!"

"Zitong." Bei Gongdi glanced at her, and waved his hand to get the concubine who was standing aside to step back.The queen walked to the edge of the cave where Bei Gongdi was leaning against, and gently patted Bei Gongdi's shoulders.She turned her pretty face slightly sideways, and asked, "Is Your Majesty in a bad mood today?"

Bei Gongdi stretched out his arms to hug her, and the queen's face flushed slightly. Bei Gongdi's intimate behavior made her show a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment, "fourth brother!"

With a low laugh, Bei Gongdi stretched out his hand to touch the tip of her nose slightly, "Zitong, it would be better if I called out 'fourth brother' at another time."

The face in front of him was blushed all of a sudden, and it was so glamorous for a moment that it made Bei Gongdi's heart itch slightly.

The queen's boudoir name is Chen Peihua, and she is the original Princess Yan.Chen Peihua is the youngest daughter of An Guogong Chen Ying. When she was 14 years old, she was ordered to marry Bei Gongdi, and went to Yandi with him to become a vassal.Although Bei Gongdi was quite flamboyant outside, the Prince Yan's mansion was very clean, and there had always been only one woman, the concubine.After Chen Peihua died of illness in the previous life, Bei Gongdi issued an edict not to be an empress again, to show his respect and memory for Empress Xiaoxian.The prince and second prince under Bei Gongdi's knees are also descendants of the empress.

At this moment, with such a wife who was with him through thick and thin in his arms, he couldn't help but speak softly: "What did you hear?"

Chen Peihua gave a "hmm" and said: "I heard that His Majesty was furious in the early court and almost asked for the imperial staff." She quietly looked at Bei Gongdi's handsome but unreadable face, and said: "But really of?"

"Didn't you already know?" Bei Gongdi buried himself by her neck in boredom.

Chen Peihua tentatively asked: "But Fang Jingxuan again?"

Bei Gongdi's eyes became fierce all of a sudden, and he concealed it at random, and if there was a flash of light, he said: "Zitong, the affairs of the court are extremely complicated, you don't want to interfere."

"The concubine can save herself," Chen Peihua said, "but the concubine is the mother of a country after all. There are some things your Majesty may not like to hear, but the concubine must say it."

Bei Gongdi put his arms around her, was silent for a while, and then said: "I know what you want to say."

"Then why—" Chen Peihua was a little puzzled.Bei Gongdi stared into her eyes, but seemed to be looking at something else.Said: "I agree. Fang—Jingxuan, I will not touch him again. But, Zitong, what I did before is naturally reasonable. You will know later."

He couldn't help reappearing that person's face in his heart, and he couldn't erase it. This afternoon, he was hiding in the singing and dancing, and he carefully sorted it out in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out.Fang Jingxuan really fell into his heart.

Gong Di's eyes were dark, and he said in his heart: "Let's not blame the past, will Fang Jingxuan know what I mean? But what if I know, and what if I don't know? After all, how could Fang Jingxuan know——I couldn't help myself when I said this sentence. "

"The concubine will obey His Majesty." Chen Peihua said.Bei Gongdi smiled lowly, and said: "I heard that the flowers by the East Lake are blooming, how about Zi Tong to accompany me for a walk outside?" He patted her hand, "I miss the days of Yanjing very much."

Fang Jingxuan walked into the room quietly. It was already deep at night, and he slowly sat on the side of the bed, looking at his wife who seemed to be sleeping soundly, with softness in his eyes.Fang Jingxuan put down the gauze tent, blew out a candle and set up a candle, and then walked out the door.

"Sanggong." The beauty woke up at some point, and called out to catch the figure from behind.She opened her eyes, staring at the tall and straight man under the lamplight.She said: "It's late at night, is my husband still... staying in the study?"

Fang Jingxuan resisted the urge to turn around and said, "Chan'er, you should rest earlier."

"Xianggong——" Guo Luoshi's face was slightly sad, and he hugged him gently from behind, leaning on him and crying: "——I know the suffering of my husband, the late emperor is so kind, how can my husband be ruthless?" A righteous person, but the world is the most important thing. Although I am a first-time woman, I also know that my husband is walking on thin ice."

"Chan'er—" Fang Jingxuan's voice trembled slightly, and he covered the catkins wrapped around his waist with his backhand.

"You just need to know," Guo Luoshi leaned his head on his body, speaking slowly and clearly, but with determination, "Wherever my husband goes, I will go with him. It doesn't matter if it's Asura Hell, or the mountains of swords and seas of fire. Never give up!"

"Chan'er," Fang Jingxuan closed his eyes and raised his head, he said softly, "You don't understand."

"I understand," Guo Luoshi raised his eyes to look at his side face, his eyelashes fluttered gently, "Xianggong's heart has never changed."

Fang Jingxuan's heart suddenly sank. "No, I have changed," he replied inwardly, "I have... changed."
