Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 115

"Can I take a look at Shen Hualou?" After Hualou's words came out, it seemed that all time stood still.

Donghua looked at her quietly, his eyes were as calm as a frozen sea level, no matter how strong the sea wind was, no waves could come out.

For a long time, she just looked at Donghua like this, and her eyes were equally calm. Donghua wanted to see her intentions or other thoughts that she shouldn't have, but Donghua didn't see it either.

It was precisely because he didn't see it, and because of the things she did these days, that he knew that she might not be the Qianji he knew. Regarding Shen Hualou, he never gave the slightest danger, and it was not easy. It was a bit of a surprise, even if this person was the person he trusted the most, he would not take any risks.

What's more, he still doesn't understand what Qianji is thinking. He used to know that Qianji liked him, so it might be unfavorable to Shen Hualou, but now, he is not sure if Qianji still has him in her heart. , he was not sure if she had other thoughts, so he couldn't agree to Qian Ji's visit to Shen Hualou.

Hualou looked at Donghua, and she knew that Donghua would not agree, even if she said it so unsurely, she would not be able to mention this matter for a long time in the future. Staring at this matter would definitely arouse Donghua's suspicion.

In fact, for the time being, she just wants to see what her body looks like. She has no intention of destroying her body at this moment. Besides, no one will be indifferent when burning her body. She Can't do it either.

Therefore, even if, as Xuanruo said, some monsters and ghosts will be attracted to this body in the future, she still needs to plan carefully before she can do it.

Now, no matter how Donghua is, she is not sure that she can do something under Donghua's nose. If Donghua finds out what she is thinking, she will definitely not bypass her.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be worth the loss for her.

Before Donghua could speak, Hualou suddenly said, "It's fine if it's inconvenient, I'm leaving, and it will be dawn in a while."

After Hualou said this, Donghua said coldly: "Qianji, I really hope that you said this to me just because of curiosity, but this shouldn't be something you are curious about!"

Hearing Donghua's bone-chilling voice, Hualou's heart sank little by little, she stopped, looked at Donghua calmly and said, "My lord, if I have other thoughts, would you How? Kill me?"

"Never give up!"

I don't know what to use to describe the complexity in Hualou's heart, but when Donghua's cold voice was blowing like a blizzard, Hualou suddenly felt a little sad, why good fortune always tricks people.

"But today I'm neither curious nor have any other thoughts, I just want to see how she was hurt, that's all!" Hua Lou also turned around quickly after she finished speaking, she walked very decisively, It seems that she can no longer have the idea of ​​burning Shen Hualou's body by herself. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term.

When Donghua heard that she wanted to see Shen Hualou's body, his whole body was like a tight string, and this string has only two extremes, one is broken, the other is hurting people, there is no doubt , he went to the other extreme, which is hurting people.

Seeing Qianji's leaving figure, Donghua's mood was a bit complicated. When he said that he would never be soft-hearted just now, he seemed to see something light up in her eyes and then go out in an instant, returning to calm What kind of thoughts did she have when she said such a sentence?Donghua couldn't guess what she was thinking now.

After all, there was always a big dye vat, and he was not sure what kind of person Qian Ji would become in that big dye vat.

Hualou was really surprised by Donghua, she even lost the idea of ​​destroying the corpse under Donghua's words, Hualou who had this idea walked out of Prince An's mansion and lost a sigh of relief .

She has to find a way, she has to find a way!

Before dawn, the painting building returned to the palace. She was going to enter from the back, but she saw the red light that had just risen on the horizon, and she unknowingly walked to the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In front of him, Li Qin and the others were still in the hall at that time and hadn't come out yet, but Hualou sat in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation after contemplating for a long time, watching the sunrise.

The air in the early morning is very cool, even with dewdrops, the thin mist dissipates, and the bright lights appear bit by bit. The stone steps are a bit cold, but the painting building does not hesitate at all, just like this. She sat down slowly, right where she had sat many, many times.

She drank wine, her body was a little hot, and her heart was a little irritable. She was wearing a red dress, and she forgot the time as soon as she sat down.

When Donghe got up and walked out, he saw the painting building sitting on the steps below at a glance. In the dim light, her back, her long hair, and the posture in which she sat there with her legs curled up were all like this. It was exactly the same as before, Li Qin looked at Dong He and paused, just about to come up and ask His Majesty, what's wrong?Before he could speak, he saw the figure sitting on the steps.

I also remembered what Donghe said last night. The former princess often sat here watching the sunrise and rising. Looking at her back, she looked very similar. The appearance of the princess concubine seduces the emperor. In this palace, there is nothing like that.

But Donghe raised his hand slowly to stop him, walked over gently, and walked straight to Hualou's side, but Hualou didn't react yet.

After a long time, Li Qin only saw that Donghe also sat down slowly, and sat beside the woman.

Li Qin walked over slowly, opened his mouth and wanted to say that Donghe would not leave. After a while, all the civil and military ministers in the Wuying Hall were waiting, but before he could speak, Donghe shook his head , Li Qin's heart sank slightly, maybe since your morning can't get up.

Hualou seemed to have thought of something, and it took a long time to realize that the person sitting next to him was Donghe.

"It's been a long, long time since I sat and watched the sunrise like this." Hualou said lightly.

Donghe also looked into the distance and replied: "It's been a long time since I sat down quietly."

Only after Li Qin heard the voice did he realize that the person sitting in front turned out to be Concubine Hui. After arguing with Dong He yesterday, both of them rested without passing on their dinner. What kind of trouble is it so early in the morning?
"Why do you want to come here to watch the sunrise?" Donghe asked.

"I'm used to it." Hualou blurted out this sentence, making Donghe look at her calmly all the time, and it took a long time for Hualou to realize how terrible what she just said was.

Looking at Donghe's eyes, she frowned a little, and then she realized it in a daze, and said hastily: "When you sit here, you have the widest view. Does your majesty also like to sit here and watch?"

Donghe didn't speak. After sitting in the painting building for a while, he felt a little restless, then slowly got up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going back first, take a look."

But at the moment Hualou got up, Donghe grabbed her hand and said, "Sit with me for a while."

Hualou got up a little bit, and sat back slowly. She looked at Donghe's side face, his eyes were fascinated by the distance, and the sharp-edged outline didn't seem to have changed much from years ago. It's just that the thoughts in my heart are already different.

She didn't speak, just sat quietly. After a long time, Donghe said slowly: "Today is her birthday."

"People are already dead, what's the use of those who don't have a birthday?" Hualou's words were a little cold, and there was a burst of coldness when they came out of her mouth.

Hualou thought of Donghe, Donghua, and Xuanruo's words, and she felt even more depressed. She used to sit alone in a daze, but now sitting with him like this is to listen to what he said. What's the point? ?It's nothing more than a few words of nonsense.

The more I think about Hualou, the more unhappy I feel. After saying this, he quickly got up, looked at Donghe and said, "I think it's better for Your Majesty to sit alone and remember, I'd better go back and catch up on sleep, I'm too sleepy. "

When Hualou left, a gust of wind and a smell of alcohol blew in his face. Dong He looked at the back of Hualou and said coldly, "Have you been drinking?"

Listening to Donghe's question, Hualou was silent for a moment and said, "Drink some."

Seeing her disappearing figure in the distance, Donghe thought of something in a trance, so he asked Li Qin to get the drawing board, so today I didn't see the king's early court, but he sat at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and drew A beautiful picture of splendid mountains and rivers, very beautiful.

After returning to Xunfeng Palace, both Ru Yang and Ajiu had already got up. Seeing Hualou coming back, Ru Yang walked over slowly and said, "Miss, you are back."

Hualou nodded and walked over: "You tell me to have breakfast, I'm so sleepy, I'll go to sleep first."

As she spoke, she quickly walked into the cabinet, and fell asleep shortly after the first drawing, maybe not because she was so sleepy, but because she drank alcohol at night, and the alcohol also played a role, and she fell asleep deeply up.

Ru Yang and Ah Jiu looked at each other, shook their heads lightly at the same time, and started to do things.

He fell asleep until the afternoon, and when he got up, he saw that the weather was gloomy, but the bright morning had long since disappeared.

After Hualou got up, Ru Yang stepped forward and said, "Do you want to eat, Madam?"

Hualou gently moved his neck, perhaps because he had a stiff neck when he fell asleep, and said sullenly: "It's okay if you don't say it, but if you say it, I'm a little hungry."

Ru Yang tidied her clothes with a slight smile: "I know that my mother will be hungry when she wakes up, so the meal is already prepared, and you can go there after washing up." Hualou gave her a look and said, "No one is looking for me, right? "

"Your Majesty, someone is really looking for you. Not long ago, the Emperor sent Eunuch Li over to tell you to wake up and go to the Government Affairs Hall. He wanted you to have dinner before telling you." Ru Yang said, Hualou also followed suit. Zhi laughed: "Could it be that you're still afraid that I won't have an appetite?"

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Ru Yang smiled happily, while Hua Lou frowned slightly, and said, "Now that the injury is healed, I will not be free. You see, I have only slept for a long time, so I came to remind you."

"Could it be that the empress still wants to rest, but the slave feels that the empress seems to be flustered these days, is it because the slave is dazzled?"

Seeing her, Hua Lou teased himself instead, and said bluntly: "You girl, I will give you all the work I can't finish in the future, and you still can't see it!"

"Your Majesty, please spare the slave!"

After tidying up all the painting buildings and having something to eat, I rushed towards the government affairs hall, but before I reached the government affairs hall, the sky had already started to rain, not like spring rain, so it might be raining again It snowed heavily, but the snow did not fall, and it turned into countless rains.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that there is a foreshadowing of a storm that will pour down the city. Amidst the noise of the rain, everything seems to be quiet. In the entire palace city, only the high-hanging palace lanterns, under the eaves, try their best to emit a faint light. Under the extinguishment of the lights, some eventually extinguished, leaving only the outer cover, trembling slightly under the turbulence of the wind and rain.

Because she was in a hurry when she came out, Ru Yang was also left in Xunfeng Hall by Hua Lou, and U didn't follow her.

Donghe was sitting there, holding the memorial in his hand, frowning heavily, and soon he heard small voices coming from the corridor, he didn't need to argue, he was surprised to know who was coming.

Slightly closing his eyes, he thought of her back in the morning, and her who left in anger at the end, showing a faint wry smile.

Putting down the pen in his hand, he raised his head and saw Hualou entering the palace. His whole body was elegant and valiant. Hualou's body was already a little wet from the rain, and a few strands of black hair were scattered on his forehead, like black jade embellished. The crystal clear snowy face, those extremely clear eyes, because of the heavy rain, instead added a bit of luster and haze, looking quietly, it seemed that they had the ability to shoot people's souls into them.

Donghe looked at her quietly, got up and took the silk towel himself, and wiped her hair gently, he made a sound slowly, as if talking to himself: "I let you not like to pull your hair on weekdays, You see, it rains like this, and the weather is cold, so it will take a long time to dry."

Hualou stood there, busy patting the rain on the skirt of her clothes, so she didn't pay attention to Donghe's movements, but his words made her feel a lot of feelings, so complicated that she didn't know whether it was bitterness or bitterness. , I couldn't bear it anymore, and before she opened her mouth, Donghe had already seen her movement, and hurriedly took her hand and said, "How can you wipe it like this, the more you wipe it, the wetter it gets."

He saw that the clothes of the painting building were indeed more than half wet, so he called Aunt He over and told her to fetch a set for the painting building to change, otherwise his body would catch cold in a while.

From the beginning to the end, Hualou didn't say a word, but when she listened to Donghe's words and saw what he was doing at the moment, her eyes were cold. Sometimes she wondered whether he was the same to her for a moment. Loving, not taking advantage of?
When Li Qin walked in, he saw that Donghe was brushing the hair of the painting building. He fixedly looked at the imperial concubine in front of him, and he was already in awe. This Concubine Hui is the former Crown Princess, or does he not understand?
When Donghe later found Hualou's expression, he frowned slightly, and asked aloud, "What's wrong?"

Hualou regained consciousness in a trance, looked at Donghe, and said lightly: "It's okay, I just got a little rainy, and there's nothing wrong with it."

Listening to Hualou's words, Donghe's eyes flickered for a moment, and at that moment, Donghe held the silk scarf in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Hualou, and then handed over the silk scarf in his hand. After giving it to Li Qin, he turned around and walked towards the one in front. Hualou realized at that time that, in fact, Donghe regarded her as Shen Hualou.

But even if it was such a move, it could only make Hualou's heart feel cold for a while. She no longer wanted to ask the reason at the beginning, and she didn't want to argue with Donghe every day. She kept fighting, but in the end she never The answers that Donghe got were all to confirm her uncertainty.

Seeing that Donghe didn't speak, Li Qin hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, the slave will go to fill the stove."

Hualou glanced at the memorial on Donghe's case, frowned slightly, and said, "Eunuch Li, the stove is not used, just pass the snacks for me when I pass the meals later."

Li Qin looked at her, the expression just now had been covered by the bright and playful look, and there was no trace of it, the emotions were so freely contained, and what Pei Chengen said might not be accurate, the girl in front of her, not only He will be in a high position and will be favored unabated.

"Okay, this old slave will go and prepare for the empress first." Li Qin said and left.

After calming down for a while, Donghe asked: "I called you at lunch time, but you are still asleep, but you haven't had lunch yet?"

Hua Lou walked over slowly and said: "No, I ate just now, no, I thought the emperor would stay up late at night, so I prepared some in advance."

And Donghe also sat down when Hualou's words fell, and Hualou walked to his side. There was a seat reserved there before, but now after so long, it is still reserved.

Looking at the empty seat, Hualou didn't know whether he should just walk up there, but Donghe asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Hua Lou was slightly stunned, and replied: "I was just thinking, if I changed my identity, would it still be in compliance with the rules for me to do this again?"

Hearing that the painting building talked about the rules, Donghe laughed out loud: "I have never seen you obey the rules since I saw you, but now I hear you talking about the rules, I will think I am hallucinating, or say that this recuperating At the same time, it can also cultivate one's personality and change a person's temperament?"

"Your majesty's words are wrong. After passing through the gate of hell, I just cherish my life even more. I'm afraid that if I sit here today, all the courtiers will take me out and kill me as a witch! After Hualou finished speaking, he walked over. Donghe looked at her and said, "In this way, it makes sense."

After Donghe finished speaking, he glanced at her lightly and said, "Come here and have a look at this."

Hualou looked at the brochure handed out by Donghe, and didn't reach out to pick it up for a long while, not for other reasons, but thought she should think about it, but at the same time, Hualou went over and sat down, took a look at Donghe, and stretched out his hand. I took the fold over.

Slowly opened, the book was submitted by Rong Yuan and other ministers, but the person on it was Dong Chen. The studio looked at it carefully, and then laughed.

Donghe looked at her and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The painting building closed the folder and handed it to Donghe. She probably understood the above meaning. What Rong Yuan meant was that the former princes had their own fiefdoms and rewards when the new emperor ascended the throne, and Dongchen was never in the imperial capital at that time, so he had nothing. That meant that Donghe was not granted a fief, but a king or something!

"I probably understand the content of the excerpt. What does the emperor think? As Rong Yuan said, should the fourth prince have other plans?" Hualou's words were calm, and the words he said were also peaceful, but they were invisible There was a cold and hard breath.

Donghe didn't answer, looked at her and said, "I'll listen to your thoughts."

"My idea is that the Fourth Prince actually didn't mean that at all, but someone was pushing him behind his back." After Hualou finished speaking, Donghe's eyes sank slightly.

"Why do you see it?" From Donghe's words, some things seemed to have a rough outline in Hualou's mind, but there were still some places that were slightly out of touch, and he didn't know how to explain them.

"As far as I know, the fourth prince is relatively lazy. He doesn't seem to be too keen on the affairs of the court. The last time I happened to see Mr. Lu drinking with the fourth prince and heard their conversation. The fourth prince is actually just passing by when he returns to the imperial capital this time. , It’s just that I’ve been tied down by some things for a few days, so I don’t care if I don’t approve it.” After Hualou finished speaking, Donghe looked at him firmly and said, “You think so?”

Hua Lou frowned: "The emperor already has the answer in his heart, and I said my own thoughts, but this idea is different from the emperor's answer."

"It seems that you have a good relationship with the fourth child." After Donghe finished speaking, Hualou's thoughts sank, and he smiled: "I used to be a court lady, he was a prince, and you are the emperor. How can we talk about a good relationship, but I generally understand that whether it is the prince, Mr. Lu, the ministers, or the empress of the harem, or even you, the emperor, they all look at other people through my face, don't they?"

After Hualou finished speaking, Aunt He brought clothes for her to change, but she sat there without moving for a long time. Aunt He looked at the two people in front of her, as if they were talking about something. Standing on one side, she only heard Donghe say: "Go and change your clothes first, I'll catch a cold later."

"I don't care that you all look at me the way you look at her, but doesn't the emperor think it's too much to pour dirty water on my face? Since the emperor has resentment in his heart, why should he show it to me?" Her words were It was like falling beads, endless, and after he finished speaking, he quickly got up and followed Aunt He to change clothes. The sound of rain outside hadn't stopped, and he sighed slightly as he looked at the memorial in his hand.
