Chapter 14 Chapter Two

Due to the showers in the afternoon, the Lanlin Palace was fresh and misty. A delicate and elegant face was printed in the big bronze mirror on the dressing table. His eyebrows were like distant mountains with black hair, his skin was like a peach blossom and his face was smiling. It was the best time and the most beautiful face.Liu Lan took the ivory comb and brushed her long black hair, sighing faintly. The voice of the personal maid Ru Ye came softly from outside the curtain: "Your Majesty?" Liu Lan said indifferently: "What's the matter?" Ru Ye then lifted the curtain and walked over: "My Lady, Tang Concubine is here. "

Liu Lan lazily said: "Well, go back to her, I'll go out after I change clothes..." Before she finished speaking, Tang Qiaoyan had already lifted the curtain and walked in: "I said sister, something big happened in this palace Now, what clothes do you still have in mind?" Liu Lan squinted and saw that Tang Qiaoyan's skirt was stained and stained, obviously because she came here in a hurry.A beauty-loving person like her can tolerate it, which means that the big event she talked about seems to be a big event, and Liu Lan is a little interested.Then Shi Shiran said: "Sister, what major event in this palace can make you so nervous?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Could it be that something happened to the prince again?"

Some time ago, someone actually poisoned Changxin Palace in an attempt to attack the prince.Fortunately, it was discovered early and the prince was fine.But the emperor was furious because of this incident, implicating many people. So far, the prince is the only heir of the emperor, and if there is any trouble, he can always restrain the harem more or less. Tang Qiaoyan shook her head, sat down on the brocade couch beside her, and said, "The emperor has just issued an imperial decree in His Royal Highness Chengqian to make a cousin of the late Empress Ruan a concubine, and she is still of the first rank."

Liu Lan raised her head in astonishment and said, "What, is this serious?" Tang Qiaoyan sighed: "There are still false ones. The imperial decree is already on its way. Three days later, it will enter the palace." Liu Lan lowered her head and pondered for a moment: "Didn't the emperor repeatedly reject the proposals of the ministers, how could he accept concubines for no reason?" Tang Qiaoyan leaned over and said in a low voice, "That's why I came here in a hurry. I heard from Xiao Linzi, Shi Quanyi's subordinate, that she was carved out of the same mold as the late Empress Ruan. Today As soon as the emperor met him in the Ruan Mansion, he ordered someone to draw up an imperial decree. You said...how could it be such a coincidence? Besides, he is still of the first rank, so even if he is not named queen, he will still be in command of the harem."

Liu Lan couldn't help but tremble in her heart, she didn't listen to what Tang Qiaoyan said later.The queen has passed away for several years, but the emperor still hasn't forgotten his love. In the past, she didn't know why Concubine Yin was suddenly demoted to Shangshui Palace.At that time, because of the deep-rooted love of the emperor, even if the empress had been grounded at that time and Concubine Yin was favored and popular, but even if she was the little maid beside the empress, Concubine Yin could not move a single hair. Later, Zhaoyang Hall flooded, and many people lost their heads because of it.And the emperor was depressed for half a year because of the queen's death.

Later, Concubine Yin suddenly regained the emperor's favor and moved back to Chengbi Palace.Even more favored than in the past, the emperor came every day and stayed for several hours.But no matter how much she loved her, she never stayed in Chengbi Palace. It wasn't until that time that she realized that Concubine Yin was favored in the harem only because she looked like the deceased Empress Ruan. As the supreme emperor, but he has a vain throne, does not accept beautiful women, and does not go near the harem.Just because no one in this world can fall into his eyes?What kind of affection is this!

Less than an hour after the emperor returned to the palace, the imperial decree had already arrived at the Ruan Mansion.An incense table was set up in the hall of the mansion, and everyone knelt down to receive the decree: "By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Mu Ningyan, the aunt of the head of state Ruan Chongji, is talented and beautiful. She is specially named Concubine Ning and will enter the palace in three days. This is it." Ruan Chongji's heart trembled, and his face was ashen. Unexpectedly, the worst thing happened, and it happened so quickly that people were caught off guard.Fang wanted to kowtow to thank him for accepting the order, but he heard a "gudong" sound from beside him, and before he could turn his head, everyone exclaimed: "Madam, Madam..." It turned out that Madam Ruan fainted.

All the servants hurriedly helped Mrs. Ruan into the inner room.Ruan Chongji received the imperial decree and greeted the father-in-law who delivered the decree with a forced smile to sit down and drink tea, but the father-in-law smiled and congratulated him repeatedly, saying: "Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord, and another concubine from the Ruan residence. There is no need for the tea slaves to wait for others, the emperor is still waiting for the slaves to reply." Ruan Chongji hurriedly ordered someone to present the reward, and said politely: "Please accept it with a smile!" The father-in-law declined it in every possible way before accepting it, thanked him respectfully, and left with the accompanying eunuchs and attendants up.

Ruan Chongji watched the crowd leave in the hall, hurriedly walked through the back garden and entered the inner room.Just arrived at the door, only to hear Mrs. Ruan's mournful voice: "Yan'er, what should I do? The entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea, and it is very difficult for my aunt to see you. It's not appropriate It's tight, but this harem is a place to eat people, look at your unparalleled cousin... your unparalleled cousin just disappeared..." At this point, Mrs. Ruan broke down in tears. Mu Ningyan's voice also sounded low and softly, with a faint choked voice: "Auntie, I don't want to enter the palace either...but the imperial edict has been issued..." Madam Ruan burst into tears: "If I had known this, Back then we agreed to the Meng Mansion's marriage earlier, and it will be fine after the engagement..."

Hearing this, Ruan Chongji suddenly had an idea, he hurriedly waved his hand to recruit a servant, and ordered: "Go and invite the eldest and second sons here." The servant took the order and left in a hurry.He just pushed open the door and entered the house. When Mrs. Ruan saw him coming in, she wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, what should I do? You should think of a perfect plan, and you must not let Yan'er enter the palace!" Ruan Chongji sighed, He said sadly: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's minister!"

When Mrs. Ruan heard the words, tears welled up again, and she cried, "Don't you let me watch Yan'er enter that cage? Isn't it enough for us to lose a Wushuang? What kind of glory and wealth are rare in other people's families? Sending my daughter to the palace, we don't want these things. I'm already at this age, I just want to watch Yan'er get married and have a child, Cheng Huan's knee..." Although Ruan Chongji is an extremely human minister, he has always loved his wife very much for decades, and now seeing her crying like a tearful child, he felt very uncomfortable, and quickly comforted him: "It's not that I don't want to find a way... ..." Mrs. Ruan stopped crying when she heard the words: "What can I do?" Ruan Chongji said slowly, "For the present plan, I just hope that the emperor can remember some old feelings and withdraw the imperial edict for Wushuang's sake." At dinner time, Chengqian Hall. Baili Haozhe said: "I don't know why the two sons-in-law came here?" The voice like Jinshiyuzhen was very pleasant, showing that the emperor must be in a good mood. Ruan Wutao and his younger brother Ruan Wulang looked at each other, then Ruan Wutao said hesitantly: "I want to report to the emperor, the two officials came here to ask the emperor to take back his promise to accept his cousin as a concubine." There was a burst of condensation, as if a thin layer of ice had formed. For a long time, Ruan Wutao and the two felt panic in their hearts.Only then did the emperor's voice sound calmly: "Oh, so it's for this matter. Doesn't the son-in-law know that you are not joking?" When the two heard the words, they were alarmed and panicked, and hurriedly knelt down.Ruan Wulang kowtowed and said: "I report to the emperor, the officials and others know that their crimes are unforgivable. But they still boldly want to ask the emperor to take back their orders. Because my cousin is already engaged to someone else, how can a daughter be worthy?" My second wife, I beg the emperor to fulfill my request, and I beg the emperor to take back my order." The emperor let out an "oh", as if he was slightly interested: "Oh, so there is such a thing in the middle. So, I would like to know which son has this honor?" He said so lightly, as if he would agree at any time Seems like a request.But for some reason, Ruan Wutao and the two felt more and more panicked.Although the emperor was several years younger than himself, he had always kept his emotions and anger indifferent, and his officials were strict. Although he had only been on the throne for a few years, he was already extremely powerful. At this time, his tone as if asking about the weather made the two of them feel cold sweat dripping down their backs.Ruan Wutao bit the bullet and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, it is Meng Lengqian, the son of Meng Shangshu." The emperor laughed lightly, and said leisurely: "Oh, it turned out to be Meng Zhuangyuan, yes, yes, a man of talent and a woman with beautiful looks, a pair of Bi people. Let the two sons-in-law be equal." From the emperor's mouth, he could not hear the slightest bit Angry, but the two felt that he seemed to be extremely angry. The two stood with their hands down for a while, but the emperor stopped talking.The two looked at each other in dismay, their hearts were agitated, and they couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.Fu knelt down again, kowtowed and said: "I beg the emperor to grant it. Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Baili Haozhe slowly stood up with his hands behind his back.Long live long live long live, can he live so long?Even if he could, he didn't want to live so long.If he is alive and she is gone.Then he is alive, thinking about her for thousands of years, but he will never be able to see her again. This kind of pain is worse than death.If Cheng Xuan was not there, he would rather go with her... All these years, he has always had a vague feeling that she is still alive.Even though he saw the servants carrying the body out of Zhaoyang Palace back then, he was still unwilling to believe that she had left... So he would go to Ruan Mansion every year to look for some clues.Over the past few years, he was almost desperate, thinking that he was wrong.But he still found it today, didn't he? How in the world can two people be so similar?Even the feeling of holding him in his hand is so fitting, so familiar... The curves of the person named Mu Ningyan are exactly the same as her in his memory.Although the fragrance on her body is different, it used to be a faint scent of jasmine.Now it is a warm and moist fragrance... But he intuited that she was Wushuang.But she didn't know herself—this was the only thing that puzzled him.And her performance is so real, as if seeing him for the first time, the emperor for the first time.So natural that it doesn't look like there's any pretense at all. His decree is just a temptation.If there was no movement in the Ruan family, he would worry about making mistakes instead.But according to the eunuch who delivered the decree, he came back and reported that Mrs. Ruan fainted on the spot.He already has 50% to 60% certainty in his heart.At this time, the two brothers of the Ruan family joined hands to seek a meeting, which further strengthened his speculation. He was already 70 to 80% sure that she was Wushuang! He said to the two people who were kneeling: "You two sons-in-law, please kneel first, I have my own opinion." Ruan Wutao and Ruan Wulang looked at each other, kowtowed quickly and said: "Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness." The Ruan brothers bowed out of the hall, and then heaved a sigh of relief.But the emperor replied so indifferently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.Let them have no chance to say what they had prepared.The two of them looked back at the brightly lit Chengqian Hall at the same time, and turned their heads to face each other, feeling a strong uneasiness in their hearts. Under the tree where the breeze was blowing, a gentle and gentle man looked affectionately at the woman who was as elegant as water in front of him: "Ningyan, do you want to enter the palace?" The red lips parted slightly: "Brother Meng, do you think I am this kind of woman who covets wealth and status?" Meng Lengqian said anxiously: "Of course I know you are not such a woman. So as long as you don't want to enter the palace, I will ask the emperor. Even if I kneel in front of him, I will ask him to help us." Mu Ningyan smiled wryly: "If this method works, Ningyan won't have to enter the palace..." The eldest cousin and second cousin had already entered the palace to beg the emperor.But until now the emperor has not taken back his order, it seems that her entry into the palace cannot be changed. Meng Lengqian was silent for a while, it was true.After the emperor issued the imperial edict that day, the Ruan family brothers went to the Meng Mansion and had a talk with him.The Ruan family brothers said that their parents were willing to betroth Ningyan to him long ago, but Ningyan wanted to spend more time with the two old people in the mansion.Who would have thought that the emperor would be able to make a concubine, so I wanted to ask the Meng family for help, and explain to the emperor that although the formalities have not been formalized, the two parties have already made a verbal agreement.Naturally, Meng Lengqian readily agreed. Although Meng Shangshu thought about it for a long time, he still nodded and expressed his willingness to help. But after the Ruan family brothers went to the palace to beg the emperor, the emperor did not make any movement for several days.Early this morning, Meng Shangshu was summoned into Chengqian Hall alone.After Meng Shangshu returned to the mansion, he said sadly to his beloved son Meng Lengqian: "The girl of the Mu family, I think you have made up your mind. Although the emperor didn't tell me a word about this matter today, he has been a father for many years. The official position is not for nothing. The fact that a girl from the Mu family enters the palace as a concubine is beyond discussion." Then he stroked his beard again, and sighed softly: "The girl from the Mu family is already the emperor's woman, you have to know how to distinguish between serious and serious! Don't be confused!" It never occurred to her that the imperial decree of the emperor's marriage would arrive before Father Meng's words were finished.The emperor betrothed King Anding's princess to him.This may be a marriage that many people envy, but it is not for him. He accepted the imperial edict and stood in the hall in a daze.Never expected that in just a few days, he and Ning Yan would miss him for the rest of his life. Mu Ningyan looked up at his clear eyebrows and said softly: "Brother Meng, maybe this is what the Buddhists call fate?" Meng Lengqian said bitterly: "Ningyan, you know, the first time I saw you, I..." If it was God's will, why didn't God arrange for them to get to know each other, but didn't give them more time? Mu Ningyan interrupted him, shook her head and said, "Brother Meng, stop talking..." No matter how much you talk now, what's the use of it! Meng Lengqian grabbed her arm suddenly, and said in pain: "Ningyan, Ningyan..." She slowly broke away from his hand: "Brother Meng, don't do this..." Suddenly, a cold and precious voice came over coldly: "What a concubine!" Meng Lengqian's whole body shook suddenly, his face was pale as paper, he let go of her hands, knelt down and kowtowed in horror: "Long live the emperor." Because Ningyan was going to enter the palace tomorrow, and he was accused of marriage, she knew that she would never see her again.She also knew that even though Ning Yan hadn't entered the palace yet, she was already the emperor's woman in name.He shouldn't see it, and he can't see it. But he still couldn't control his footsteps and came to the Ruan Mansion.It's just that he never expected that the emperor would be here as well. He only felt that his whole body was dripping with cold sweat, and he was startled and frightened.I can't do that, at most I will die, but I am afraid that my parents and family will be affected.At this time, he had to kowtow desperately. Mu Ningyan's heart was shocked, and she turned around slowly, only to see him standing noble and noble under the luxuriant osmanthus tree, wearing a white dragon embroidered casual clothes, with a bright yellow gemstone belt around his waist, coldly Looking at the two of them, there was a faint anger in his expression. She was also about to kneel down to salute, but just as she bent down, she saw a white and slender hand reaching out, with warm fingertips, grasping her wrist, and gently pulling her up, the emperor's voice carried her slightly A little bit of coldness: "You don't need to salute." He didn't even look at the cobblestones on the ground. Although the pebbles were round and even, it must be extremely painful to kneel and kowtow. She had no choice but to bend her knees and bless the blessing according to the holy will: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The emperor kept a cold face and did not speak again.And Meng Lengqian who was kneeling still kowtowed non-stop.Mu Ningyan knew in her heart that the two had touched each other, but for some reason, she didn't feel afraid. Yingying took a few steps forward, bowed to him again, and begged softly: "My daughter begged the emperor to spare Brother Meng, he just came to say goodbye to this girl. For the sake of this girl, please forgive him. " He had just seen the two whispering under the tree, like a picture of a talented man and a beautiful woman, and he was already angry.Later, Meng Lengqian dared to hold her hand, but she let him hold it without moving.Thinking of how she slapped her when she was holding her that day, the two of them were more important in her heart, and the superiority and inferiority were obvious, and her heart was even more angry. At this time she begged for him softly again, he felt extremely annoyed and an eyesore, he cast a gloomy look at the two of them, turned around and left.He left her and Meng Lengqian there. She froze in place, staring in the direction of the emperor in a daze.After a while, he turned around, helped Meng Lengqian up, and said apologetically, "Brother Meng, you should go home first." Meng Lengqian nodded, his eyes seemed filled with thousands of words, but he also knew in his heart that he would not be able to say another word in this lifetime I had no choice but to say softly: "Ningyan...you...you take care." Seeing the leaving back, Xiao Suo was sad, Ning Yan said silently in her heart: "Brother Meng, take care too, see you someday!" Turning around slowly, there was no trace of the emperor anymore.Everything that happened just now was like a dream.She bit her lip lightly, and snaked her way back to the house along the cobbled path. Fang pushed open the door, a white figure appeared in front of her, and the emperor was actually in her room.This is her bedroom, except for her aunt and Liuli, no third person has ever stepped into it. She only felt that her face was slightly hot, and she didn't know how to react, but saw that he had turned around, looked at her with a cold face, and said slowly: "You don't want to enter the palace?" Looking up, I saw his eyes were deep, like a wave of faint well water, which could not be seen clearly.Mu Ningyan took a deep breath, gritted her silver teeth, and Yingying knelt down: "Does the emperor want to listen to the truth?" He stared at her motionlessly, and said, "Tell me." She said quietly, "Throughout the ages, how many women entered the palace voluntarily? How many eyes, how many hearts are there to share? How much can the emperor share with everyone?" He didn't answer, but seeing her still maintain a humble kneeling posture, he frowned slightly, and said: "Get up and answer." She said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Standing up gracefully. He raised his brows slightly, and said with great interest: "You continue." She lowered her eyes and said, "So Ningyan is like other ordinary women in this world, only wishing to have a lover, and she will never see each other. Minute." His heart twitched involuntarily, and even his body trembled slightly, hoping to find a lover who would never be separated from each other.He clenched his hands more and more tightly, and blurted out: "Then Meng Lengqian is the lover you want?" There was an imperceptible coldness in his tone. Mu Ningyan also looked up at him, her eyes were like waves, as if there were stars falling in them, but there was no fear in her: "Whether Brother Meng is right or not is another matter. And the emperor, are you Ningyan's affectionate?" People, Ningyan knows it. The emperor will never be Ningyan's lover in this life." Although the words are soft and gentle, the tone is firm. He stared at her for a long time, with a dark expression on his face, and slowly uttered a few words: "Why?" Ningyan entered the palace, but...just because of Ningyan's face." Her voice gradually softened, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, Cousin Wu Shuang has already gone. Why don't you let her go and make yourself happier?" Hearing this, his complexion suddenly changed, he reached out and grabbed her shoulder, looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to look into the bottom of her heart: "Do you know that I am not happy?" His hands were so hard that his fingertips almost pinched into her flesh.The pain hit her shoulder, she frowned like a willow, but looked at him, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Is the emperor happy?" Is he happy?Is he happy?Without her in this life, he would not be happy at all.His hands loosened slightly, and he stared at her in a daze as if in a daze. After a while, he whispered: "You really don't remember me anymore?" His breath was warm and humid, with his unique ambergris, lingering on the tip of her nose leisurely.His eyes were as deep as water, full of hope, painful and anxious, and vaguely expecting.So many, so many things came at her all at once, and she felt that she was almost swallowed. She lowered her head, and said calmly, with a trace of helplessness: "Why does the emperor keep trying? Minnv is really not cousin Wushuang." Her eyes are black and white, without any impurities.Baili Haozhe looked at her, his eyes were still too deep to see, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, dangerous but with a hint of fatal temptation: "If there is a way for you to prove whether you are Wushuang ,Do you want to?" The air in the room seemed to be condensed, and he watched her reaction motionlessly.She looked at him as if puzzled, and stood still for a while. He only felt his heart beat fast, his palms were wet.Suddenly, I saw her smiling sweetly, like a peony in full bloom in spring, so delicate and beautiful. Her eyes fluttered slightly, and she seemed to say casually: "If the emperor proves that Ning Yan is not Wu Shuang's cousin, will he withdraw the imperial edict to let Ning Yan enter the palace?" He took a deep breath and said, "You will not know until you prove it. But the premise is whether you are willing or not?" Mu Ningyan smiled lightly: "Ningyan is naturally willing. But before that, can the emperor agree to Ningyan? One thing?" He raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is it?" She bowed and saluted, and said: "Please forgive Brother Meng." His face darkened: "What is he guilty of?" She bit her lip, but remained silent.He looked at her, frowning more and more tightly.For a while, she still refused to speak. He was a little annoyed, and reluctantly nodded: "Forget it, I will accept you." He suddenly reached out and clasped her slender waist, squeezed her tightly, hugged her in his arms, and moved closer to her. In his ear, he said in a low voice: "I will prove that you are unparalleled." She was startled suddenly, and struggled to say: "The emperor..." He smiled at her slightly, his expression turned majestic, and the smile melted at this moment, and his handsome features became more and more outstanding, she only felt her breathing tightened and her heart beat "Plop, plop", there was a quick sound, and the struggle became more and more severe. Baili Haozhe said softly: "Don't move around." There was a faint fragrance as light as a cloud in her sleeves, which was very nice.He carried her through the curtain, stepped into her bedroom, and placed her on the brocade couch.She was still as light as a feather. She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves, and her voice trembled: "Your Majesty, Minnv is really not Wushuang's cousin, please forgive Minnv, Your Majesty..." He stared at her, sighed, and said softly, "Why don't you use Jasmine's incense?" She didn't understand why he would ask this question, but she still replied: "Reporting to the emperor, women don't like the scent of jasmine since they were young." He paused for a while, probably in a daze, and looked at her after a long time. Gently said: "Then you definitely don't know how to play chess, right?" She looked at him in surprise, his eyes were so clear.She nodded slightly: "Yes, Minnv can't play chess." Hearing this, he actually smiled leisurely, bent his body, and grew bigger and closer in front of her, his eyes flashed like stars but with a hint of danger, as if he was in the gazebo that day. She was extremely flustered, turned her head away, and trembled: "The emperor..." He paused for a while, and looked at her slightly sideways, as if admiring her.She had no time to take care of it, and her heart was so chaotic that there was no rhythm. It wasn't until her feet got cold that she realized that he had taken off her shoes.She only felt that her whole body was hot, and her face and neck were as hot as burning in a stove, and she just wanted to retract her feet into her skirt.He has already grasped it with one hand, the slender and soft touch is the same as back then.Thin and small, white as fat and soft as boneless, it seems to be finely carved from the finest Hetian white jade, which makes people love it. He didn't seem to move anymore. Although she couldn't see it, she knew that his gaze was burning on her feet, and there was even a warm breath lingering on them.She choked on her breath, only feeling that the atmosphere in the room was charming and ambiguous. Suddenly, he let go of her, got up and walked out.She didn't seem to have reacted yet, lying on the couch in a daze, listening to his footsteps slowly going away.After a while, I sat up in a daze, staring at the curtain, quietly lost in thought. There were no red moles on the soles of her feet.Is she really not Wushuang?No, it's impossible.If she is not Wushuang, how can she give him the illusion that she is Wushuang?Even if the fragrance on her body has changed, her performance is natural to the extreme, but he just thinks she is unparalleled.His body will think about her, and only Wushuang has this ability.In the few years she was away, he didn't even visit anyone in the harem.Because they are not her, so he will not have the desire to love and pain to the bone marrow. He slowly sat down on the dragon chair.After clapping his hands lightly, someone jumped in from the window: "Your Majesty, please tell me?" He asked: "How is the investigation in Xinzhou?" The Ruan Mansion sent people back to the capital more than a year ago. They also secretly took the portraits and checked the servants of the Mu family, but there is no clue yet." He naturally knew that if there was something wrong in the middle, it would have been covered up without a trace in the past few years.He waved his hand lightly: "Explore again!" The man replied "Yes." With a leap, he disappeared into the darkness again. When Shi Quanyi saw the emperor came back from the Ruan Mansion, his expression was serious. He had followed the emperor for many years, so he naturally knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to disturb him.Followed the emperor through half of the imperial garden and stopped in front of the prince's upper study. It was the prince's reading time at this time, the voice of the prince's grandson Sun Yundao and the voice of the prince Lang Lang came from time to time.The emperor stopped under the window, listening attentively, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, obviously his mood has improved a bit. "How is Fengyi Palace?" Shi Quanyi hurriedly said: "Reporting to the emperor, everything has been properly arranged according to the emperor's order and the original layout of the palace." The emperor gave a soft "um" and stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time. After a long while, he finally asked a question: "Is there really such a similar person in the world?" Shi Quanyi naturally knew that what the emperor was referring to was that Concubine Ning looked like the late Empress Ruan.But trying to figure out what the emperor meant, he himself almost denied it. The emperor's voice came floatingly, almost inaudible: "No, it's impossible. There will never be two people who are so similar in the world." After wandering around for a while, the emperor waved his hand and ordered: "Go to Zhaoyang Hall." After the Zhaoyang Hall was flooded, the main hall was razed to the ground by fire.Standing in the imperial garden, the emperor watched the fire gradually diminish until it was extinguished.However, the empress... the empress who has always been known as a virtuous and virtuous empress died in that fire... The emperor was so sad that he did not go to court for half a year.Even Shi Quanyi only knew from that time that the emperor had a deep affection for the queen.During that time, the emperor seemed to be possessed by a demon, neither eating nor drinking nor sleeping.If the little prince hadn't been seriously ill at that time and pulled the emperor's mind out of his grief, the consequences would be unimaginable... When he saw Concubine Ning in the Ruan Mansion that day, Shi Quanyi was also shocked.If you want to say that the world is so big, there are no surprises.But two people who are so similar, even with the same mother, are extremely rare.The emperor refused to believe it, and even he himself felt that there might be something strange about it. But sometimes when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is impossible.Even if the empress did not die in that fire, how could she avoid many checkpoints and leave the palace?This is simply impossible. Countless thoughts are twisted and turned.In a blink of an eye, the majestic and majestic Zhaoyang Palace appeared in front of them.The emperor waved his hand, motioning to stop Luanjia.Slowly paced into the courtyard, sometimes stopping, sometimes looking up. Zhaoyang Hall has always been the sleeping hall of the queens of the Baili Dynasty.After the fire burned down, it could not always be left in the palace in ruins.In the second year, many ministers in the court submitted memorials, asking the emperor to rebuild.The emperor also agreed to play.Recently it has been basically completed.
