[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

"Why?!" Li Yu obviously didn't understand why Ehuang asked him to let Zhou Nvying go.

After Ehuang knew about his relationship with Zhou Nvying, he was obviously very alienated from him.He thought that the relationship between the two alone was enough to make Zhou Ehuang hate Zhou Nuying to the bone.What's more, there is Zhongxuan.Zhou Ehuang's concern for Li Zhongxuan is well known, there is no mother in this world who does not value her children.

Could it be that Zhou Ehuang really loves Zhou Nvying so much.Even though Zhou Nvying did these things, she was still soft-hearted towards her.Li Yu thought of Zhou Nvying's attitude towards Zhou Ehuang just now, and became even more dissatisfied with Zhou Nvying.There is also a vague jealousy that even I can't hide.

That's right, jealousy.He was jealous that Zhou Nuying might have a higher status in Zhou Ehuang's heart than him.Although there was no reason for this jealousy, he really couldn't hide the obvious sourness in his heart.

Xun Ying met Li Yu's gaze, with obvious doubts in his eyes and a bit of forbearance. "Master, can you still feel pain after death?"

But Xun Ying knows that after death, nothing remains except tranquility.A long period of time in her life was spent in 'death'.When you wake up and think about it, you don't have any fear.Death is not painful, and for some it is even a relief.

However, even those who are in pain rarely have the courage to extricate themselves.No matter how painful Zhou Nuying's life was, she definitely did not want to die.

"No." Li Yu's eyes were full of enlightenment.Naturally, one does not feel any pain after death.At most, it is the fear that arises when you are dying, or the way you die may make people feel painful.But if people really die, what else can they feel? !

Really no pain.Because of this, Ehuang will keep Zhou Nuying's life.He thought of the conversation between Zhou Ehuang and her these days.

Zhou Ehuang told Zhongxuan directly after Zhongxuan's death that she already knew about the affairs between herself and Zhou Nuying.At that time, he asked him if he had any intention of bringing Zhou Nuying into the harem, and even supported him to bring Zhou Nuying into the palace.Did she have doubts about Zhongxuan's affairs at that time?

Later, when he wanted Zhou Nvying to quit, not only did she not agree with the cheerfulness he had imagined, but she rejected him instead.Let him not 'failure' Zhou Nuying.From this point of view, perhaps Zhou Ehuang wanted Zhou Nuying to enter the palace.

"It's a bit of a coincidence that the lord came here today." Xun Ying smiled slightly, the corners of her lips curled up as seductively as usual.Her gaze swept over the scroll in Li Yu's hand. Today Li Yu left after she finished taking the medicine, not to deal with government affairs, but to paint.The timing of a painting, just the right return.

"It's a coincidence." There was a wry smile on Li Yu's face, if it wasn't for him, he would just come back.Naturally, he would not know that Zhou Ehuang knew so much, but he was carrying it all by himself.Also, she will not see Zhou Nvying's true face, and it is very likely that she will keep it hidden.She can only think that Zhou Nvying is as delicate and exquisite as she remembers.

He was thankful for the existence of this coincidence, if he didn't know about it, he would definitely feel as guilty towards Zhou Ehuang.But when he faced Zhou Nvying, he also felt somewhat guilty.Even because of Zhou Ehuang's death, getting along with her will no longer be as natural as before.However, she will never be treated badly in other respects.

Li Yu knows his character well, if he doesn't know all this.He really will.How long will he be concealed?several years?Over ten years?decades?Or is it simply a lifetime?

"It's a pity..." There was a bit of regret in Xun Ying's words, and she looked away from Li Yu.Picking up the sheet music that she had just put aside, she read it again.Her attitude at this time was obviously ignoring the plan of the other person in the room.

In the entire harem, Zhou Ehuang was the only person who dared to treat Lord Li Yu like this.Li Yu is also used to his behavior. When he wanted to feed Zhou Ehuang medicine in the past, he had seen a colder face.

But after hearing the word 'unfortunate' from Zhou Ehuang's mouth, he still couldn't help turning his cheeks pale.pity?What did Zhou Ehuang regret?It's a pity that he already knows the truth now, so he hasn't been kept in the dark?Zhou Ehuang hoped that he would be ignorant of everything.

Zhou Ehuang hoped that he would get along well with Zhou Nvying?How can this be.It's not for self-comfort, if the two really get along well, there will be no punishment for Zhou Nuying.As long as he is still the king for a day, Zhou Nuying will go smoothly, and there will never be the 'pain' that Zhou Ehuang said.

Under what circumstances was Zhou Nvying able to experience this pain without dying, and even be tortured in every possible way? !

What if Li Yu knew Zhou Nuying's true face after Zhou Nuying entered the palace? !At that time, if you knew Zhou Nvying's determination to approach him and the cause of Zhongxuan's death.At that time, he and Zhou Nuying may only torture each other.The identity of the empress of the country is there, and the matter of Zhongxuan must have passed a few years by then, and it may be as difficult as heaven to investigate.

Moreover, from the conversation between Zhou Ehuang and Zhou Nvying just now, it is not difficult to find that Zhou Nvying has already handled this matter well.Even if he investigates now, he may not be able to find out the truth.He can only get along with Zhou Nuying with guilt for Ehuang and Zhongxuan.

There is no real evidence, even if Li Yu is the lord of the country, it is impossible for him to kill the Queen of the country for no reason.Their country was already in turmoil under the threat of Song, so how could they bear internal chaos.Even if Li Yu knew the truth, it was impossible for Zhou Nvying to start.This is definitely torture for him.Torture from the heart!

Every time he saw Zhou Nuying, he would think of Zhou Ehuang and Zhongxuan, and the guilt alone was enough to overwhelm him.However, the status of empress dowager was able to meet him openly.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for him to have the slightest tenderness for Zhou Nuying.Just because she can't be moved in terms of status doesn't mean she can't be moved in other aspects.With Zhou Nuying in his hands, she will definitely not get any benefits.

Torturing each other like this...

Is this what Zhou Ehuang wanted?She is not calm, but she is using her own strength to make arrangements.At that time, even if she, Zhou Ehuang, has passed away, the people she hates will never be happy.

Li Yu's Adam's apple moved, and he walked up to Zhou Ehuang, and put the painting in his hand on her quilt.He bent down slightly, and put his forehead against her forehead.The tips of their noses touched lightly, if it was in the past, he would definitely like it very much.The strength of Zhou Ehuang's struggle caused the tips of their noses to rub against each other, bringing out a sense of intimacy.

However, at this time, the two of them didn't have any charming thoughts. What Li Yu had been paying attention to was Zhou Ehuang's eyes.It's just that, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the love for him reappearing in these eyes.

"There's nothing to regret." Li Yu's voice was lowered a lot, as if whispering between lovers, with obvious bewitching. "Since Ehuang wants it, then everything will be as you wish."

As she wished, even if she ended up in a quagmire in the end.Li Yu also knew how crazy his decision seemed to others, but even if he didn't do it, would he be free?No!After knowing the truth of the facts, he understood that the guilt towards Zhou Ehuang and Zhongxuan was a calamity that he could never overcome in his life.

If there is an extra Zhou Nvying by his side, it's just to remind him not to forget it all the time.And he really didn't want to forget Zhou Ehuang.In other words, he couldn't forget Zhou Ehuang at all.

He has the same mood as Zhou Ehuang, that is, he wants to make Zhou Nuying suffer.If he still felt that the matter between himself and Zhou Nuying was the same mistake made by the two of them before.Now it is obvious that he feels that Zhou Nuying's mistakes are even more unforgivable.

So, even knowing that all of this is just a game that Zhou Ehuang wants to set up.He was also willing to enter the game as a pawn, and according to her preferences, let everything develop in the direction she most wanted to see.

If Zhou Ehuang could watch from the side all the time, he wished for it.Even if she really couldn't hold on... Even if he was under the Nine Springs, he finally repaid her a bit.

There was a flash of shock in Xun Ying's vision, and even a little softness.Her voice was as calm as usual. "Thank you, my lord."

"This is what I should do." When Li Yu made this decision, he didn't mean to be grateful to Zhou Ehuang, but the softness made him very happy.Now he attaches great importance to the time he spends with Zhou Ehuang.Even if he is faced with Zhou Ehuang's cold treatment every day, he will not be discouraged. If the atmosphere between the two can be eased, he can't wait for it.

Li Yu picked up the painting he put aside, with a little smile on his lips. "This is the painting I just made today. It is about the imperial garden. The scenery there is really good. If your health improves, we can go out for a walk."

Ruyun standing aside was also a little curious about Li Yu's painting for Zhou Ehuang, so she glanced at it inadvertently.When she saw it for the first time, she subconsciously felt familiar.After identifying the place, she was a little surprised.Subconsciously raised his head to see Zhou Ehuang's complexion, and heaved a sigh of relief seeing that she didn't respond.

Ruyun originally disliked Li Yu a little less because of today's events, but at this time it was a bit complicated.Or the king did this because he really wanted to introduce what he thought was the best to the queen.However, if this place is something that someone else has used.Even if it is beautiful jade, it will feel somewhat flawed.

"What's wrong?!" Li Yu could see Ruyun's somewhat shocked appearance, and subconsciously checked the painting, but found nothing wrong.

"It's nothing." Xun Ying looked down at the view of the imperial garden, although it's already October, the weather is cold, and the vegetation is lifeless.However, Li Yu's painting is full of green eyes.Apparently he was looking at the scenery that was approaching midwinter, but he was painting the vitality of spring and summer.

Moreover, the scenery of this place looks really familiar.Although the scenery is beautiful, if there is no mood to appreciate it, no matter where it is, it is no different from yellow sand everywhere. "The painting is beautiful, but it lacks some truth."

Li Yu naturally knows how unreal it is to draw a scene of blooming flowers in this season.However, the dead trees in this season made him feel like his life was withering.These days, he is extremely sensitive to the withering of life.He was worried that he would inadvertently reveal a bit of sadness by painting such a scene.

Therefore, he filled in the life on the dead tree based on the picture in his memory.He has great confidence in the painting method he filled in this time.In fact, if you only look at the painting and don't know the truth, you will immediately think that it is a painting made when the flowers are in full bloom.

Such a delicate description can also show how much Li Yu loves and admires this place.Only when the landscape is truly engraved in the mind can the image be truly drawn.

"Such a vibrant look is more pleasing. At this time of the next year, I will take it to see the scenery here. The place is a bit remote, but it is better than being quiet and no one disturbs you." Li Yu said this, his face softened Some.

Even he knew it in his heart.For two people, the coming year may not be within the expected time.

"I would like to see how the current appearance of this place is different from your painting, Lord." Xun Ying put her finger on a spot in the painting, with a smile on her lips but did not penetrate into her eyes. "In the past few days, the imperial doctor also said that there are tonics to nourish the body. This body has improved a lot. It is also good to go out to bask in the sun once in a while. Why don't we go out and have a look."

What she said was much better, referring to the complexion on the surface of the body.Her ailment did not get better under the medicine treatment, and naturally it is impossible to recover without medicine because of the nourishment.

When Li Yu heard the word "we", he couldn't help swallowing his rejection. "It's good to go out for a walk, but you may not have much strength now."

After Xun Ying heard this, a trace of disappointment could not help but appear in her eyes.Although the complexion is good, it does not mean that the body is really healthy.She sat on the bed and couch and didn't need any strength at all.Even eating and feeding medicine are served by Ruyun single-handedly.If she got out of bed and walked, she would probably be out of breath after a short walk without exerting any external force.

Li Yu got up and took Zhou Ehuang's outer shirt hanging not far away, and when he came back, he directly lifted the bedding on Zhou Ehuang's body.Reaching out his hand was obviously as if he wanted to personally wait for Zhou Ehuang to put on his outer shirt.

"My lord, it's fine for the servants to come over for these trivial matters." Ruyun said hastily.The lord of the country has never served anyone, but she didn't panic because she felt that Zhou Ehuang was not worthy of this honor.She felt that the king had robbed her of her job, and it was very likely to make the empress uncomfortable.

"What? Do you think I can't even do this little thing well?!" Li Yu glanced at Ruyun, but he didn't have much anger, but there was a warning in his sight.He wanted to get close to Zhou Ehuang, but Zhou Ehuang felt sad for rejecting him.However, if a court lady rejected him, she would not like it.If it wasn't for Zhou Ehuang's respect for Ruyun, he would have taken the life of this court lady directly, and no one would have interceded.

"Slaves don't dare." Ruyun hurriedly apologized.She watched Li Yu put on the skirts for Zhou Ehuang in an orderly manner, and she felt a lot more at ease.

Li Yu put on clothes for Zhou Ehuang. Although this was the first time he did such a thing, he seemed methodical.On weekdays, he would wear clothes for himself no matter what, so he wouldn't know how to do it at all.He was very pleased with Zhou Ehuang's cooperation with him at this time, and his complexion became softer.Even thinking about learning more.Especially after seeing Zhou Ehuang's black hair, he wanted to tie it up for him with his own hands.It's a pity that at this time, he really doesn't know how to do it, so he can't be impulsive.

"Ruyun, it's cold outside, go and find a cloak for the empress." After Li Yu put on Zhou Ehuang's clothes, he stroked the ends of her hair with his fingers, not planning to let Ruyun tie her hair.It would be impolite to go out without tying up your hair in the past, but now there are not many people in the harem who don't know that Queen Zhou Ehuang is seriously ill.Naturally, no one is talking about this.

Ruyun quickly brought a thick cloak.Li Yu personally put on Zhou Ehuang and put on shoes for Zhou Ehuang.Then he stretched out his hand and hugged Zhou Ehuang up.

Xun Ying didn't seem to think that he would do this, subconsciously put her arms around his neck.His body was a little stiff, and there was a little panic in his eyes.

"In this way, Ehuang can see the scenery without feeling tired." Li Yu explained his behavior.However, only he knew how nervous he was.It wasn't just the body of the person in his arms that was stiff at that moment, his body was also stiff for a moment.He is very eager to get close to Zhou Ehuang. He didn't feel anything when he was able to get close to Zhou Ehuang wantonly in the past, but now he realizes the value of this privilege.

Noticing that after he spoke, Zhou Ehuang's body gradually softened, and he felt even happier.Walking to the door, he asked He Min to put on a cloak for himself, then opened the door and went out.

Li Yu's footsteps are obviously much more stable than when he walks on weekdays, and his movements are obviously cautious.Especially his arms, he tried his best to keep them from moving.

In fact, Li Yu's physical fitness is not good, although in the royal family, there is more or less a course of martial arts.It can not only strengthen your body, but also increase your self-protection ability.However, Li Yu's interest is obviously not here. When he was young, someone would ask for it. When he was older, he would arrange his time according to his own preferences.Naturally, this martial art was slowly put down by him.

In the past, he didn't have the experience of walking alone with his arms, but this time he wanted to carry someone across the entire imperial garden.Although Zhou Ehuang's body is petite and exquisite, he has lost a lot of weight due to illness.However, it is undeniable that Zhou Ehuang is still the weight of an adult.

Sometimes holding a child for a long time will be exhausting, let alone holding an adult.Before Li Yu was halfway there, he felt a little tired.But looking down and seeing Zhou Ehuang looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Even with such perseverance, Li Yu's footsteps are still getting slower and slower.And there were even traces of sweat on his forehead.He Min beside him wanted to help several times, but he swallowed abruptly after meeting Li Yu's sight.

Although Li Yu's body is very tired, he is still trying to be brave.It was a rare opportunity to get so close to Ehuang, and he didn't want to let it go like this.And if he really let go of the person in his hand this time because of exhaustion, he probably won't have such an opportunity again in the future.No matter how tired he is, he will endure it.At this time, Li Yu really felt that he was in pain and happy.

Li Yu felt that his footsteps were a little weak, but his hands still held the person in his arms firmly.After finally seeing the dawn of victory, the landscape in his paintings is almost in sight.Although there is no pavilion, sitting next to the rockery is closer to nature.

His complexion suddenly changed slightly when he saw the rockery. He didn't know where the strength came from, and he no longer wanted to rest, so he wanted to leave quickly. "Let's change places."

Li Yu really likes this place.When he secretly met Zhou Nuying, he chose this place.The scenery is good, but also a little remote.Few of the masters and masters in the palace can wander here, which can be regarded as a hidden place.He met Zhou Nvying on weekdays, and no one else should have noticed except Zhou Ehuang.

The first time he painted Zhou Ehuang, the first thing he thought of was this place.Although he has also visited other places in the Royal Garden, he has the deepest memory of this place.He wanted to paint Zhou Ehuang his favorite, but forgot an important point.

Since Zhou Ehuang said that she saw him and Zhou Nvying together in the 'Royal Garden', it was obviously this place.At that time, what he cared about was that Zhou Ehuang found out about the matter between him and Zhou Nuying, but he didn't care about the 'Royal Garden' for a while.Now, he even brought Zhou Ehuang here.

Only then did Li Yu know why Ruyun was so shocked when he saw the painting.At this moment, he himself felt a bit unbearable to look directly at.Looking at the scenery here?How could Zhou Ehuang have the desire to look at the scenery.As long as she saw this, she would subconsciously think of her betrayal.It is even more impossible to use the scenery to draw the relationship between two people closer.

"I've already come here, let's take a look here. The scenery here is really good, no wonder the king likes it. After so many years, Ehuang knew for the first time that the king would like such a remote place." It is indeed a bit remote near the edge of the imperial garden.If it weren't for Zhou Ehuang not coming out for a long time, it would be impossible to transfer here.

Xun Ying reached out to support Li Yu's body and got down from his arms.Li Yu himself was very tired, so naturally he didn't have much strength to stop his movements.When Zhou Ehuang's feet landed on the ground, he only thought about it and carefully supported him, lest Zhou Ehuang would be hurt again.

When Li Yu heard Zhou Ehuang speak, his heart was equally complicated.This place is more of a memory between him and Zhou Nuying.The scenery I used to like very much seems to be stained with obvious pollution.Even he himself was clearly aware of his dislike, let alone Zhou Ehuang.

Xun Ying walked inside with a smile, and Li Yu could only stay by her side.
