In a few days, I met Gu Jian in the East Palace.This is the first time since I came back from Xiliang.

He is still dressed in white and carries his sword.He came and went without a trace, and he was very unhappy to see me, leaning against the door, forgetting even etiquette.I don't really want to fuss over these details.If there is no restriction of identity, maybe we will be friends, but unfortunately, now he may hate me very much.

"It's been three years, and you're finally willing to show up?" I said, the sarcasm in my tone was undisguised.

"Since you married her, you should treat her better." He didn't look at me, bowed his head with his sword in his arms, and opened his mouth to say this.Is he complaining about Xiaofeng?What qualifications does he have?I laughed angrily.

"You stretched your hand too far," I said coldly, "She is the princess, and I am the prince. Whether I treat her well or not is none of your business?"

This sentence angered him. "Ding——" With a crisp sound, it was his sword that left the scabbard, but it was only for a moment, and he pushed it back again.He finally turned to look at me, with a gloomy expression and ferocious eyebrows, which was a sign that he wanted to kill someone.

I laughed: "Aren't you cleaner than me in front of her?"

His complexion suddenly changed, "You still remember it." After saying this, his anger suddenly dissipated, his face turned gray and pale, as if he was seriously ill.

"I'm not treating her well, isn't it just what you want? Why? After several trysts, she still refuses to take your jade pendant?"

As I spoke, I laughed and became more bitter, until I burst into tears.

"Li Chengyin!" He drew out his sword again, his pale face made the murderous intent in his eyes even stronger.

I'm a little unimpressed. "Three years, it's time to pay off the debt, isn't it?"

I said my plan.

Like three years ago, this calculation is full of killing.

"Are you so impatient?"

I laughed again, "People are always like this, when you have good things, you want better things."

"Three years ago, you promised me..."

"Yes, I promised you three years ago to give you freedom. So this time, my condition is her freedom!"

Gu Jian suppressed his voice and became silent.Finally he put away the sword and left without saying a word.

But I know he'll agree.

After going there for three years and coming back after three years, the first thing she said was to blame me for treating her badly.He probably regretted his choice back then.Is it too late?

I also want to know, is there still time?

A few grains of sand were blown by the north wind outside the door, and no one could answer me.

I feel a little tired.

"Your Highness?"

"Is something wrong?"

The servant who was close to him came in with the soup, with a cautious look on his face: "Zhao Liangdi brought the soup and asked to see His Highness, but the servant did not dare to let anyone in at will, and couldn't stand Zhao Liangdi's begging, so he agreed to keep the soup and said yes It is best to replenish energy and blood, Your Highness..."

"Put it down."

The waiter put down the soup and medicine, bowed his head and was about to go out, but I stopped him.

"Does Your Highness have any orders?"

"Give her a pearl flower."

Xiao Huangmen laughed, "Your Highness still cares."

I was not in the mood to listen to his flattery, so I waved him away.

The hall fell silent again.As long as nothing happens, I will miss her very much, but I can't see her.The things from the past flashed in my mind over and over again, like vines tightening layer by layer, strangling me out of breath.

Never has my heart ached for such a long time.It seems to have returned to the year when my mother died.It was also like the year when I knew the true face of the queen.I always thought I wouldn't be in pain anymore.

Actually not.

It hurts more and more each time.

Maybe... retribution.

I picked up my hands and examined them carefully. They were well-knitted, thin and pale.No one knows how many people's blood was stained on these hands.They only see the hands, the power held within them.

"Your Highness?"

I thought it was her in a trance, and when I turned my head to look, I realized that I missed her so much.

It's Zhao Sesur.

She prostrated herself in front of me, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of spring, "His Royal Highness rewarded you with pearl flowers, and this concubine is here to thank you."

I glanced at the little yellow gate just now, he lowered his head firmly, still trembling slightly as he knelt on the ground.

"Get up, it's all trivial."

Zhao Sese got up and sat next to me, only to see the bowl of cold soup, "Oh, why didn't His Highness drink it?"

"It's cold."

"Then the concubine will go..."

I interrupted her, "No need. You are Di Liang, so you don't need to worry about these trivial matters."

Her originally soft and charming complexion suddenly froze, and she said: "The concubine just wants to..."

"I know your heart." The tone was deliberately slow, but I still found a lot of impatience in my voice.Probably Zhao Sese also noticed it, she was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Highness... Is there something wrong with my concubine?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"His Royal Highness has always been depressed recently, and he doesn't go to see me much, I thought..."

"There's been a lot going on lately."

She laughed, "Is Your Highness free today?"

"Is something wrong?"

She bowed her head and twisted up her handkerchief, and said softly: "I have something to report to Your Highness, but I have never had a chance..." She looked up and saw that I didn't answer, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It's the two from Xubaolin Courtyard. Palace servant, stole something from the treasury..."

"Ok?"

"Although the state has state laws and the palace has palace rules, I see that the Xubaolin courtyard is deserted and there are no competent palace people, so... so I want to ask His Highness for a favor..."

Didn't those two palace maids have been kicked out by her long ago?I glanced at her and said, "Type out and pick two good ones."

Her straight back softened, she frowned in embarrassment, and said again: "That Xu Baolin...won't Your Highness go and have a look?"

Her beating around the bush made me impatient, "You are the presiding officer in the middle palace, just take care of me. Don't ask me about such things in the future."

"That concubine..."

"Go down if you have nothing to do."

"The concubine has one more thing..." Her voice became soft, "I heard that His Highness hurt his foot playing polo with the Zhou family's servant boy today, but is it more important?"

I raised my eyes and glanced at her, but it was meaningless, but it made her look stiff, she knelt down suddenly, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I... I only knew that His Highness hurt his foot after hearing about it from the servant, and care would cause confusion. I didn't mean to inquire about..."

"It doesn't matter."

"What?" She was stunned for two seconds before she understood what I was talking about, and she suddenly became happy again, saying: "It's fine, it's fine. The servant's words are scary... It made my concubine worry for a long time."

"Are you worried about my feet, or what Zhou Shilang said to me?" My tone was very slow, and it sounded extraordinarily cold. Zhao Sese froze, and within a few seconds, tears filled up Eye sockets, sadly said: "Your Highness! Your Highness... I don't know, I don't understand..."

I dropped the porcelain cup on the coffee table, and the leftover tea and water splashed all over Zhao Sese, "You don't understand, you understand very well!"

I got up and was about to leave, but she began to weep, until she heard intermittent crying outside the hall.

The queen is deposed, but her followers are still there.Mrs. Zhao wanted to replace him, but she underestimated me too much!
