The sudden sound startled Xu Kexin. Following the sound, there was a masked man in black leaning halfway by the slightly open window, with a pair of dark eyes flickering with gloomy flames. Xu Kexin opened her mouth to shout, but she heard After the man in black said next, he pursed his lips and looked at the man in black with a complicated expression.

"If you want Prince Rui to divorce you, you can call someone over!"

Xu Kexin settled down and said: "Who on earth are you? What is the purpose of trespassing on Prince Rui's mansion?"

"You don't need to know who I am."

The man in black jumped into the room, went to sit down opposite Xu Kexin, poured a cup of tea and smelled it lightly, then took a sip, and praised: "It is said that 'Jade Leaf Piaoxue' is the best tea in the world." Superb, it really lives up to its reputation. Mu Qingyun is really good to Prince Rui, and even gave the rare tea leaves as a tribute to Prince Rui."

Xu Kexin's eyes dimmed.

Taking a full look at the changes in her expression, a trace of sarcasm flickered in the eyes of the man in black: "I have only one purpose, and that is to help you win Prince Rui's heart!"

"Why should I trust you?"

"Believe me or not is not important, what is important is" the man in black took another sip of tea, "Do you really want to stay alone in an empty room for the rest of your life and never win Prince Rui's heart? You know, Prince Rui loved Mu Qingyun so much. For many years, it’s not just letting go!”

"Are you outside the study too?" Xu Kexin's expression changed, and she stared straight at the man in black with horror and panic in his eyes.

Hearing that the ninth princess and the prince returned to Beijing today, she was going to go, but the worry and anxiety for more than a month almost exhausted her, and she didn't go when she was really unwell.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the mansion, the prince not only did not come to visit her, but went to the study with Qi Wang and Yue Wang. Although she was sad and disappointed, she still ordered the kitchen to cook a few meals, thinking that they would eat after they finished their business, but they waited. There was no one to be seen, so I went to the study to invite him in person.

I never thought that I would see Yue Wang rushing away, but the prince said. . . . . .

At that moment, she felt as if her heart had been severely torn apart, and the heart-piercing pain quickly spread to her whole body, and her whole body seemed to be in the ice, so cold, so painful, she was enduring the soreness that almost burst out of her eyes Zhilei staggered and ran back to Liuxin Pavilion.

Did he keep her out of his heart all the time?

But she was unwilling.

Gritting her teeth, Xu Kexin asked, "What do you want?"

Hearing the words, the man in black's eyes flashed a trace of contempt: such a selfish and stupid woman, I really don't know how Prince Rui would fall in love with her?

"I have a secret medicine here, which can make people sleep for a long time without knowing it..."

"You want this concubine to murder the ninth princess?"

The man in black shook his head: "It's not Mu Qingyun, but the emperor!"

Mu Qingyun relieved the emperor's drunkenness, and the imperial concubine wanted to have another "love of love" in hopes of gaining the emperor's heart and love, how could she do what the imperial concubine wished?After all, what does the emperor's life and death have to do with her, she just thought. . . . . .

"Your Majesty?" Xu Kexin's face turned white in an instant, and she was covered in cold sweat: "Do you know that murdering the Emperor is a heinous crime, and it will affect the whole family?"

"So what?" The man in black said disdainfully, "What's more, my secret medicine will not kill the emperor, it will only make him sleep like a living dead."

"What is your purpose of doing this?" Although she wanted to win the prince's heart, once the incident happened, she and the prince, as well as the people in Prince Rui's residence and her nine clans would all be executed, which she could not bear.

"It's very simple. The emperor is asleep, but the country cannot live without a king. According to the ancestral system, when there is no imperial edict for the establishment of the throne, there are heirs who establish heirs and no heirs who establish elders. At that time, King Chun will naturally be the rightful successor emperor. "

Xu Kexin shook her head and said: "Even if there is no imperial edict, don't forget that there is still the Ninth Princess, I believe she will never agree to King Chun's succession!"

"Of course we have a way to get her to agree!"

"any solution?"

"This is not what you should ask, you just need to know." The man in black played with the teacup and said meaningfully: "The emperor has a decree. Mu Qingyun must marry the successor emperor. Only King Chun will succeed. Mu Qingyun It will never be possible with Prince Rui, in this way, Prince Rui will be yours alone, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Prince Chun and the prince have always been at odds. How does this concubine know whether King Chun will find excuses to deal with the prince after he ascends the throne? Even if the nine princesses marry Chun Wang, how can the prince fall in love with this concubine if he has the nine princesses in his heart? Moreover, the emperor There are maidservants, eunuchs and guards around you at all times, and there are even hidden guards to protect. How can this concubine easily approach and prescribe medicine? Also, why do you want King Chun to succeed the throne instead of other people? Are you a noble concubine, or Sent by the prime minister?"

The pupils of the man in black were flickering with arrogance and disdain: "What are noble concubines and prime ministers? They have no right to drive Ben... me! Don't worry, I can enter Prince Rui's mansion without anyone knowing. I can protect you, Prince Rui, and your nine clans from being implicated, and you will still enjoy the present glory and wealth! The Emperor has our people by his side, and when the time comes, he will arrange for you to be close to the Emperor..."

"Since the emperor has your people by his side, why do you want to find my concubine?"

"Because Mu Qingyun trusts you and won't defend you!"

"is it?"

"Of course. As for whether Prince Rui will fall in love with you or not" he took out a small porcelain bottle and put it on the table, the man in black said casually: "This is 'Love of Love', once Prince Rui takes it, he will treat you wholeheartedly, in his heart No more women will be tolerated!" The day Prince Rui takes it is the day you die!

"Will not hurt the prince?"

"will not!"

Looking at Xu Kexin who was frowning and contemplating, the contempt and jealousy in the eyes of the man in black disappeared, so quickly Xu Kexin didn't notice it at all: "Can you think clearly?"

After a long time, Xu Kexin gritted her teeth and said, "My concubine has thought it through!" After receiving the two porcelain bottles, one black and one white, handed over by the man in black, her hands were covered in cold sweat.

"That's great, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"The servant has seen the prince!"

"Is the princess in the room?"

"Yes, the princess said she was unwell and wanted to rest for a while."

Just when Xu Kexin was about to say something, there was a voice outside the house, which made her tremble all over. The porcelain bottle in her hand almost fell to the ground, and her face became even paler. When she was about to let the man in black leave, she found that The man in black had long since disappeared. If it wasn't for the cold wind blowing in from the slightly open window, if it wasn't for the porcelain bottle in her hand, she would have thought that everything just now was just a dream!

Hearing that Sima Rui had entered the door, Xu Kexin hid the porcelain vase in her sleeve, tidied up her appearance, then took a deep breath and tried to calm down the panic in her heart, walked to the outer room, and saluted Sima Rui: "See you, my concubine." Pass the prince."

"Excuse me." Sima Rui's expression was as stern as usual.

Perhaps it was because of a guilty conscience, or perhaps it was because of Sima Rui's indifference, Xu Kexin was also extra cautious: "Didn't the lord discuss business matters with King Qi Yue, why did you come here?"

Looking at Xu Kexin, who was cautious in his words and deeds, and thinking of the persuasion of his younger brothers, Sima Rui softened his tone slightly: "Father has just sent someone to pass the decree, and a family banquet is held tonight. The king and the princess will go together."

"Yes." Xu Kexin slightly lowered her eyelids to hide the sadness and bitterness in her eyes: After the wedding night, the prince never came to Liuxin Pavilion again. I didn't expect that this time, it was all because of the imperial decree, so how pitiful and pitiful to her?

The two of them didn't speak after that, and for a while, the atmosphere was so silent and depressing that it made people flustered.

"I heard from the maid that the concubine is not feeling well, but did you tell the doctor to give her a diagnosis and treatment?" Sima Rui asked after some time.

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern. The concubine just feels a little tired. After lying on the bed for a while, she already feels much better, so I didn't pass on the doctor."

"Really?" Sensitively aware of the tension in Xu Kexin's tone, Sima Rui's heart moved, his starry eyes looked around, he saw the neatly folded brocade quilt on the bed through the thin screen, and saw that the window was slightly open. And there was half a cup of tea in the teacup on the table, he couldn't help frowning.

Sima Rui took a few steps to the window, took a closer look while closing the window, found nothing, turned around and stared at Xu Kexin, who was dodging his eyes, and said with concern: "It's cold and windy, princess, remember to close the window, don't worry about it." If you are suffering from the cold, and if you are not feeling well, drink less tea, otherwise it will be detrimental to Wang Hao's recovery."

When she saw him staring at the big bed behind the screen for a long time, Xu Kexin knew that her lie was self-defeating, and she couldn't help feeling flustered. Seeing him close the window again, and now that she said these words, Xu Kexin knew that he must have noticed something , although the charcoal fire in the room was burning right now, but she only felt cold all over, her red lips were clenched tightly, and she was speechless.

"It's getting late, my concubine tidy up, and I will enter the palace with the king in a while."

Just when Xu Kexin was waiting for Sima Rui's questioning in panic, she heard him say this, she was so shocked that she forgot to react for a moment, and it was not until Yuechan came in that she came back to her senses, only to realize that she was drenched in cold sweat.

"Miss, what's the matter? But you're not feeling well?" Yuechan looked at her own lady, whose face was as pale as paper.

Xu Kexin shook her head: "My concubine is fine, I will dress up for my concubine, I will go to the dinner with the prince."

"Yes." Although she was full of doubts, Yuechan didn't say anything more, and immediately dressed her up.

The sun was setting and the sky was full of sunset. Qingyun sitting on the soft couch looked at the winter scenery outside the window with a calm and comfortable expression. Mu Xue lay meekly at her feet, half-closed her eyes.

At this time, Zhuyue walked in and whispered: "Master, Mingyue just came to report that Concubine Zhang killed Qingfeng."

"Concubine Zhang?"

Seeing Qingyun's puzzled expression, Lan Jue reminded: "It's Zhang Lianwu, the side concubine of Chunwang Gangna."

"Oh." Qingyun nodded: "Why did she kill Qingfeng?"

"According to Mingyue, Qingfeng was found to have eavesdropped on Concubine Zhang's secret conversation with King Chun, so she was killed, and Mingyue also said that before she died, Qingfeng told her with hand gestures that Concubine Zhang had extraordinary martial arts skills and that she and King Chun were a fake couple! "

Qing Yun's expression froze when he heard the words: No wonder Zhang Lian, who has always been aloof and proud, married Sima Chun as his side concubine at the dance party. It turned out to be a fake couple!But, what is her purpose in doing this?And is Zhang Lianwu the man in black with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms?
