Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 106

He broke free from the restraints of the Royal Forest Army, stood up staggeringly, picked up the jug on the table beside him, and took a sip.

The strong wine burned his lungs from the throat, and he yelled freely and freely: "The king wants to die, and the minister has to die! Your Majesty, should I still thank you for saving my life?!"

The hall was very quiet, no one dared to speak.

"Boom!"

The dull and magnificent bell rings, and the new year is coming.

The new year begins with the death of Concubine Xian and the downfall of the Second Prince.

Seeing the back of the second prince going away, the eighth prince was overjoyed.

Of the three mountains, one has collapsed.As for the rest...

He looked down at the direction of the fourth and sixth princes.He could see every move of the two of them.

He didn't miss the panic and bewilderment in the eyes of the other party when the second prince was imprisoned in the clan mansion, as well as the secret joy just like him.

Concubine Xian's death left traces in the emperor's heart.

This banquet ended early.

After everyone left, the eighth prince stood where the emperor had stood.

The other party's old appearance emerged in his heart.

Is it because you are older that you are soft-hearted?

Otherwise, it would not be an exaggeration to kill two people based on what Xianfei's mother's family has done!
At this time, Zhao Chunmin didn't know that Concubine Xian had committed suicide, just to fight for a way out for the second prince.

Because she knows the emperor, behind the seemingly ruthless, there is also a softness that ordinary people are full of, but this kind of softness is not easy to show.

Because the emperor cannot have feelings.

She traded her death for the second prince's life.

……

Because of the Jiangnan incident, the Eighth Prince officially came into the eyes of the courtiers.

It's just that they couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

Is this a fancy to him, or... not fancy.

If he is interested, based on the Jiangnan case alone, the eighth prince should also get a proper official position.But until the case was finalized, he only got the approval of the emperor and granted him a prince's mansion.

If you don't like it, the emperor will entrust him with the imperial examination in the next year.

Although the final examination questions still require the approval of the emperor, this is undoubtedly not a signal.

These courtiers, next time they meet the Eighth Prince, they should be polite.

……

Liuchun Palace.

Gu Liubai leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, watching Hewan dye her nails with impatiens.

The tip of the nose is the sweet aroma of chestnuts in the charcoal stove, and there will be explosions from time to time, and the astonishing maids are startled and laughing.

"Your Majesty, don't move it yet!" He Wanjiao said angrily.

Gu Liubai watched He Zhuan take out chestnuts from the stove, eager to see through them, as if he was impatiently waiting.

"It's enough to just smear it twice, anyway, you need to wear armor."

She watched He Zhuan peel the chestnuts and put them into the sweet white porcelain tea bowl, and when He Zhuan was caught off guard, he stretched out his hand and threw one into his mouth.

"Young lady, be careful!"

He Zhuan exclaimed, but the words have not yet finished.

The chestnut that Gu Liubai stuffed into her mouth was spat out by her again with a grunt.

Fanning the wind with his hands, like a little milk cat, sticking out the tip of his tongue: "It's so hot, so hot!"

He Zhuan said helplessly: "Niang Niang, you are too impatient!" He got up from the porch outside, poured a cup of snow water collected in the morning and handed it to her.

After staring at her to finish drinking, he handed her the almost dried chestnuts: "Your Majesty, eat now."

This time Gu Liubai was very cautious, after measuring the temperature with his hand, he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet and glutinous taste of chestnuts lingers on the lips and teeth.

"Miss."

He Sui came in from the outside, wrapped in frost, and a cool air blew through the entire warm room.

Seeing her coming, Gu Liubai handed over the sweet white tea bowl: "Try this year's chestnuts, they are quite sweet."

He Sui ate one obediently, and then said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, the congratulatory gift you asked your servant to give to the Eighth Prince has been delivered."

The eighth prince entered the new mansion, and everyone in the harem congratulated him.

Even Concubine Shu, who disliked him the most, sent someone to present a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist.

"Did you say anything?"

He Sui shook his head: "When I entered, I saw the Eighth Prince talking with Lord Li. So I waited for a while, but I didn't see the Eighth Prince when I left."

Gu Liubai squeezed Chestnut's hand for a while, stared at the tea bowl and smiled.

Is it because you feel that you are capable, so you want to give her a kick?
At this moment, she just wanted to say a word of innocence!
"If you don't see it, don't see it." She turned her head and looked out of the window. The snow that had stopped in the morning was falling down again.

"Let's eat the pot at night! Just put it in the yard."

He Wan's admiration for Gu Liubai's thought is always there.

"Your Majesty, you should be cured. It's better not to blow the hair."

Several court ladies were persuading, but Gu Liubai shook his head: "It rarely snows, so it must be eaten with a pot. At worst, I'll wear thicker clothes."

He Wan couldn't be tougher than her, so she nodded: "Madam, that servant will take out the cloak later, don't take it off when you are hot."

Gu Liubai waved his hands repeatedly, but the court ladies who were close to each other looked at each other.

They all knew that what Gu Liubai just said was not very convincing.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and when several people were still discussing which dishes to send in the dining room, Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan, and a few concubines who were not considered favorites came uninvited.

"My sister's palace is really lively! It can be seen that we have come to the right place."

Concubine Shu said with a smile.

Since Concubine Xian committed suicide and the second prince entered the clan's mansion, Concubine Shu and the sixth prince had the same limelight for a while.

Especially Concubine Shu, who was so proud of herself that no one could shake her head.

Shoot the bird, it's just...

Gu Liubai's gaze fell on Concubine Wan who came in with Concubine Shu.

She thought that without the second prince, the sixth prince should face off against the fourth prince.Just looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Staring at Wanbi without blinking, she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her body.

As for where it is, I can't see it for a while.

"Concubine Hui, is there something on this concubine's face?"

Gu Liubai suddenly came back to his senses, and shook his head: "No, I just discovered my sister..."

She remembered why she felt so strange looking at Wanbi.

It was because her eyes were emotionless, like a pair of glazed beads, with a dead silence and emptiness.

"Your sister is in a bad mood?"

Wanbi stretched out her hand to touch her face, and twitched the corners of her mouth. The expression on her face was unnatural for a moment: "Is there any? The concubine is not in a bad mood."

Turning around, she found Concubine Shu was also looking at her, and quickly lowered her head.

Seeing the chestnuts placed next to the stove, he changed the subject: "Are these chestnuts from the imperial dining room? If I ask my concubine to say, the chestnuts from Qianxi are better, as they taste sweet and leave no residue."

Concubine Shu was no longer concerned about her face when she was told by Wanbi. Seeing that there were still two peeled tea bowls in the sweet porcelain tea bowl, she picked it up on her own initiative.

"Sister really enjoys it. It's quite wild to eat like this." After eating two, she was not satisfied, and asked He Wan to urn a few more for her.
