The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 100 Extra: Shen Xiao Chapter [-]

"Remember what?"

I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Shen Gu laughed and asked, "I can forget this. Is it you or me who is sorry for her?"

On this day, I was extremely disgusted with my twelfth brother.

"If you speak rudely to me, you will be beaten thirty times, and you will be banned from the Prince Xuan's palace. You will not be able to leave unless summoned."
-
I don't allow anyone to mention the words Jiang Qingyue again.

I just go to Yangzhou every year after the spring hunting.

Sometimes I am lucky enough to see Jiang Qingyue, and sometimes I live there for many days without seeing her.

It wasn't until three years later that I saw her and Qin Gu walking together, talking and laughing as they headed to her home.

Qin Gu seemed to glance at me and paused as he stepped into her courtyard.

He pointed at his cheek and said in a coquettish tone, "Kiss me."

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

Qin Gu urged her to go into the courtyard first.

I froze in place.

Qin Gu would make such a request to her, and their relationship was probably more than just friends.

My heart seemed to be tightly tightened by a big hand, pulling me to death without leaving any way for me to survive.

Many years ago, Jiang Qingyue and I were flirting with each other like this. She was really happy with me at that time.

Qin Gu walked out alone again, closed the courtyard door, and walked straight towards me.

He stood in front of me and saluted me: "We will get married in a few months."

I said, "Really? Why will it still be a few months later?"

Civil marriages are not always done quickly.

Qin Gu said calmly: "We attach great importance to this marriage and have to prepare for it for a long time."

I said stiffly: "Oh. Congratulations."

He added: "The emperor does not need to come again in the future."

I looked at him levelly and asked curiously: "Why didn't she come to talk to me?"

There was a flash in his eyes: "She doesn't want to see you."

"What did I do to make her not want to see me?"

I smiled and exposed him without leaving any room, "Or do you think that once I appear in front of her, you will fall short?"

Qin Gu is also a stubborn person.

He probably knows that there is a huge Qin family behind him. This family is deeply intertwined and has influence all over Daxia. I have no choice but to take action.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that you arranged for her to be my concubine many years ago."

I said: "But she didn't want to."

I was reluctant at first, because I was afraid that my first impression of Qin Gu was not good, and I might not be able to truly accept him now.

Qin Gu said: "I am no longer the head of the Qin family. I am free and can go wherever I want. Can you? Like me, can you accompany her to make daily necessities, or travel all over the world?"

This sentence made me think deeply.

I returned to Jinling City and thought about it for a long time.

Those brothers who went to join the army also had passable abilities, but they were only passable, and none of them stood out.

How can I be careless when it concerns all the people in the world?
-
This wasted time has passed by for several years.

Until I heard that Jiang Zong had passed the college entrance examination at the age of ten, I made a special trip to Yangzhou to see him on a whim.

Upstairs in Yanyu Tower in Yangzhou, I saw Jiang Zong playing Fei Hua Ling with an adult man.

He has a boyish look on his face, but when he recites poems, he is like a river flowing eastward, flowing endlessly.

The opponent retreated steadily, and finally surrendered with conviction.

Jiang Zong won applause from the crowd.

The imperial sister looked at the child with admiration in her eyes, and suddenly said to me: "Shen Xiao, do you think he looks like you?" I said: "I was not as good as him when I was ten years old."

The imperial sister said again: "Don't you think he looks like you?"

Having said that, it does look like me if you look closely.

"After all, he is my nephew. I think I have nephews and uncles," I said with a smile, "Sister Huang, he looks a lot like you."

The imperial sister gave me a meaningful look and said nothing more.

I reacted slowly, and there seemed to be something in her words.
-
After returning to the palace, I asked Eunuch Xi: "Do King Xuan look like me?"

Eunuch Xi shook his head: "No, the emperor and the eldest princess have somewhat similar features."

I have known for a long time that I look like the imperial sister. After all, we have the same mother and father, and she looks like me when she wears men's clothes.

I asked Taiwei Liu who came to discuss important matters.

"A portrait of me and King Xuan?"

Liu Taiwei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't think it looks like it."

I also asked the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said: "You are like your biological mother, and King Xuan is like the late emperor. Naturally, you are not very similar."
-
But Jiang Zong looks like me, and he actually looks like me.

I called Shen Gu to see me, looked at him carefully, and confirmed again that he looked really different from me.

I leaned back in my chair, looked blankly into the distance, and searched hard for something in my mind, but found nothing.

Seeing that I was still silent, Shen Gu called me: "Brother Emperor?"

I looked sharp and said coldly: "How dare you say that my child is yours."

Shen Gu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Brother Emperor, when did I say that the child is mine? Qingyue never mentioned who the child's father was. It was you who forgot what you had done and thought that the child was Mine, others think so too."

I stood up suddenly, feeling like a turbulent wave in my heart.

"Jiang Zong is really my child?!"

Originally, I couldn't confirm it, and what I just said was just a lie.

Seeing my reaction like this, Shen Gu knew that I was tricking him. After a hint of annoyance, he worried about me with a helpless tone.

"Brother Imperial, how could you rape her and make her hate you so much? Your wine is so bad... Jiang Liu knew about this and almost rushed into the palace to fight you, but I stopped him."

Did I rape her?

I left my seat and walked up to him, staring into his eyes, trying to find signs of lying.

He must be lying. How could I force her? How could I be willing to treat her like this?
"I can't force her."

"You didn't force me. How did Jiang Zong come here?"

There was no trace of panic in his eyes or in his voice, and he seemed to be saying something absolutely true, "She would rather fake a marriage with me to get rid of you. Do you think she would do that kind of thing to you willingly? And the emperor Brother, you are not in the palace, but in a small cave in the imperial garden. If you force her in..."

I unconsciously stepped back step by step until my lower back hit the desk.

I never expressed my desire for her, but it was always there.

Did I really lose all my sanity after drinking and treat her roughly and arrogantly?

I couldn't imagine myself practicing bestiality towards her. I thought about how much she hated and disgusted me. Every time I thought about it, I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't breathe.
-
Countless times, I wanted to run to Yangzhou and ask her, had I really done something worse than an animal?I also wanted to explain to her that I didn't want to do that.

But the existence of Jiang Zong is the fact that I made a huge mistake.

How could I still have the nerve to face her?
I didn't dare to think about the child who haunted me, so I could only cover my mouth and nose with a pillow during countless sleepless nights, and fell asleep exhausted again and again.

It wasn't until a year later that my sister told me that was not the case.

She told me the exact opposite.

I didn't force Jiang Qingyue, and Jiang Qingyue didn't hate me.

That night was just a spring breeze for her.
-
I was so angry that I went to beat Shen Gu with my own hands.
-
I came to Yangzhou and waited for her on her way home every day.

Her appearance hasn't changed much, it just has a more mature charm. It can be seen that she has lived well these years.

At this moment, she looked at me a little surprised.

"How did you come?"
