Chen Palace

Chapter 36 Sword Ceremony
After Chen Lu left Changchun Palace, she walked on the road.

At this time, it was past half of the night, and everything was quiet, except for the soft chirping of bugs on the side of the road, but it was even more quiet.

These thousands of palaces, Qiongtai Yuyu, stand quietly, just like the ages, but they have seen all the joys and sorrows, ups and downs, honors and disgraces.

Darkness enveloped everything, only the palace lanterns were still trying their best to emit light, and it was unknown when the lamp oil would be burned out and the brilliance would disappear.

Just like, there are tens of thousands of living beings who are smiling and smiling here. They fly their long sleeves and wear them under the moon.

Her eyes became clearer and clearer. Standing upright in the wind in front of the flickering lights, it seemed that she was using all her spirit power to resist the cold wind and rain.

The thin figure stood straight together, she was silent, and gradually, the dark night of the palace was also defeated in front of her——

When Concubine Zhou Guifei saw her, she had such a feeling.

This little girl, with brilliance flowing all over her body, the sword intent between her brows, soaring straight into the sky, seems to suppress this heavy darkness
Involuntarily, she touched the dagger at her waist, the unique metallic coldness made her recover slightly.

"Shangyi..."

She stepped forward, hesitated, but finally said the words: "Can you stretch out your palm and have a look?"

The words were abrupt, and the request was even more inexplicable, but Chen Lu narrowed her eyes: "Young Concubine, what do you want to see?"

As if unable to bear her gaze, Concubine Zhou hesitated even more, but finally said firmly: "I want to see your palm."

The girl suddenly laughed, and Concubine Zhou felt that even the tiny lights burst into light——

"Your Majesty... You have lived in the palace for a long time, so you naturally know what you should see, but you can't say what you have seen..."

Concubine Zhou stared at her, and finally, she spoke for the third time:

"Please, hold out your hand!"

Chen Lu sighed softly, and stretched out her hand from her long sleeves.

Her ten fingers, as slender and white as her own, are just in the palm of her hand——

It was a small blood clot frozen in the center of the palm, as if it had been forcibly poked out by something, showing a shocking bright red.

"No wonder... During the banquet, I could smell the faint smell of blood..."

Concubine Zhou Guifei whispered. She looked at the wound and made a conclusion: "You forcibly suppressed something and caused it with your fingertips."

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things... The minister's luck is a bit off, but he is afraid that he will surprise Cijia at the banquet!"

The girl's expression was lifelike, but Concubine Zhou could see the casual smile on the corner of her mouth at a glance.

She thought of the last time, it was a contemptuous look, anger welled up in her heart, her thoughts were everywhere, the dagger was out of its sheath.

The next moment, she felt a chill on her neck, and reached out to touch it, and it turned out to be a leaf!
This little female official is so easy to do, it has reached the point where Fei Ye hurts people, but she handles it properly!
Concubine Zhou was full of anger, and gradually subsided because of it, she sighed sadly, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence——

"Shang Yi, even though your martial arts are at their peak, you should also know that practicing martial arts is the most taboo..."

Chen Lu was surprised by the kindness in her words, and replied:
"Your Majesty, you'd better not do what you did in Juxiangyuan last time."

Concubine Zhou gradually went away, she did not answer, but sighed vaguely.

Chen Lu looked at her figure and laughed at herself——

In this world, who knows whose struggle?
She stretched out her hand, and looked at the hideous wound under the glowing light.

This is the pain of determination left behind by her forcibly suppressing her emotions during the night banquet.

"I also know that my heart is smoldering, and I am afraid that one day I will go crazy, but, these 26 years have been wasted in the fire of hell, how can my resentment be extinguished, one by one?"

When she returned to Biyue Palace, she didn't wake up the maid, and fell into a deep sleep after washing herself a bit.

In the early morning of the second day, she got up early and only slept for three or four hours, she was slightly tired.

But she didn't miss the warm bed, and went directly to Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you, Shang Yi, without the early court today!"

Qin Xi's face was full of respect, but his words flickered.

There was a sparkle in Chen Lu's eyes, she knew that what happened last night could not be good, she pondered for a while, and still entered the dormitory.

There was no one in the sleeping hall, except behind a screen, Yuan Qi's familiar voice came out:

"come over!"

She went around and came in, and what caught her eyes was a huge gold-plated wooden barrel. Yuan Qi was sitting in it, with nothing on her upper body, leaning up and watching her enter.

He has a muscular upper body, and usually wears loose robes, so it is not obvious that he is naked, which shows his good physique from practicing martial arts since childhood.

"A good thing you planned, Shangyi."

His voice was unusually stern, and his hands kept on washing himself slowly with a silk scarf. His brows were deeply frowned, as if he was removing something unclean.

"Your Majesty, I really have no choice but to make such a bad move."

Chen Lu saw his uneasy expression, and said carefully, "It's really the Empress Dowager." She emphasized the title, and continued: "In the bowl of ginseng soup given by the Empress Dowager, there are special medicines..."

Yuan Qi didn't respond, just sat in the bath bucket and listened quietly.

"Your majesty, you really have good intentions for the empress. When you go to her place on weekdays, you always take the secret medicine—that's why the empress has been barren until now."

"However, in that bowl of soup, there is Chi Xing Zi which can crack your secret medicine and promote child's breathing. So I dared to let Concubine Mei also take this medicine - Chi Xing Zi grows in the shade of the grass, It’s actually within reach.”

"When this medicine is used on a woman, her sexuality is like a fire. Therefore, although Concubine Mei Gui looks dangerous, she is actually fine. However, I need your comfort..."

"That is nice!!"

Yuan Qi finally raised his head, his eyes flashed with blazing fury, he stretched out his hand, and pulled her to him——

"She needs my comfort, so what about me?!"

"You are really dedicated to your duty! You pushed me to Concubine Mei Gui in such a hurry..."

His eyes were burning with inexplicable anger, and he couldn't even distinguish between "I" and "I" in his panic...

He pulled her close to him, feeling the cool skin in his hand, gradually getting closer, without any distance——

"Why... pushed me to another woman..."

He murmured, like a wounded beast, crazy and brutal, just looking for comfort.

The eyes of the two met, he stared at the crystal face in front of him, his bright red lips, and was about to kiss——

He only heard a clear and crisp dragon chant, and he felt a coldness between his neck, it was actually his saber "Tai Ah", with its sheath lying between the two of them.

Chen Lu rolled up "Tai Ah" with her sleeves, and sheathed Yuan Qi to stop Yuan Qi, and also stopped him from further actions——

"You actually pointed a sword at me?!"

"Sword in sheath..."

Her eyes were as clear as everlasting ice and snow, and she extinguished the flame in his heart——

"The sword never comes out of its sheath easily. If it is inside, it is not a weapon of murder—it is a ritual weapon."

She looked at Yuan Qi: "A man wears a sword as an adult, it means that a gentleman knows how to be polite."

The two stared at each other, and they refused to give in to each other. After a while, Yuan Qi sighed softly: "It's my fault..."

"If the emperor has nothing to do, I will retire."

"Go ahead……"

It wasn't until the girl walked to the door that Yuan Qi sighed: "Actually... I am not being rude, but... I wish I could dig out my heart and give it to you..."

The voice was low and far away, the girl seemed not to hear it at all, and walked out.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace on the other side, it was also quite unsettled.

"Snapped!"

The Empress Dowager Xuan Lai Empress didn't say much, just slapped her own niece with a sneer.

The queen's face was pale, but there were five red marks, and she didn't argue, she just knelt quietly on the ground.

"You ignorant scumbag, you actually did such a shameless thing—and used my name!"

Seeing that she neither cried nor begged for mercy, the queen mother became even more angry: "This kind of behavior must not be hidden from the emperor...how can you be so stupid?!"

The queen covered her face, raised her head with a sneer, the charming and gentle innocence at night was gone, her eyes were sunken, like madness, her pupils were black and bright——

"Mother, do you still think that I am too stupid?!"

Her face was distorted: "You are too naive, the emperor doesn't want me to conceive his heir at all—he is preventing and suppressing the entire Lin family at all!!"

"What did you say?!" The queen mother stood up suddenly in horror.

"You really thought that I used aphrodisiacs...hehe..." The queen laughed like crazy, "The emperor has been taking medicine all the time, and he won't let me get pregnant..."

This earth-shattering sentence made the queen mother sit down slumped.

(It's really hard to write about a beautiful naked man coming out of the bath, MS is because I haven't seen it, tears)
