   Liu Qing heard the words and had no choice but to go down to make arrangements.

Zhong Yanyu had his reasons for asking Jiang Xinyue to come here, and now, taking advantage of Jing Guhan's guilt and pain, he pulled Jiang Xinyue in front of him again, and he didn't believe that there was no barrier in the other party's heart.

And Jiang Xinyue will definitely take this opportunity to seduce Jing Guhan, doesn't this just hit his gun?

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Xinyue is now a sharp thorn in Jing Guhan's heart, he does not believe that Jing Guhan can really destroy their friendship for several years on Jiang Xinyue who has only been in the palace for a few months.

His eyes sank and his thoughts turned.

Jiang Xinyue's current strength is not very strong, and her methods are not very clever. She is far from being as difficult as in her next life. He wants to press the other party to the ground with all his might, and can't make any waves!

When Jing Guhan woke up, it was already late at night, he only felt dizzy and had a splitting headache, and it took him a while to recover.

There was another person on the bed, with a graceful figure -

he remembered that he had come to Kunning Palace, and the gentle and soft young man was still beside him, his heart seemed to have fallen to the ground, and he couldn't help reaching out to hug him.

The boy seemed to wake up with a start, sat up, and poured him some hot tea.

The bed curtain was opened, and under the dim candlelight, Jing Guhan saw the face clearly, and his blood surged.

"Why are you here?!" The teacup was thrown away, and the man's expression darkened instantly. He looked at Jiang Xinyue coldly, with undisguised disgust in his eyes, as if she was lying in a stinky ditch. Like a fly in the middle.

Jiang Xinyue immediately knelt on the ground, not understanding why she provoked Jing Guhan's disgust.

She put on a look of grievance, but no matter how mellow and pleasant her voice was, it was like a rotten insect in Jing Guhan's heart.

"The empress said that she will pray for the royal family in the next few days. It happened to be in time for the draft, and she went to the Taibu office in person. Seeing that her majesty was inconvenient to drink, she sent a concubine to serve her." Jing Guhan clenched his hands tightly when he heard this

. Cheng punched, but he couldn't hide the anger in his heart, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

He has begged so humbly, why is Zhong Yanyu still so ruthless? !

He looked at the culprit of all this, lowering his sword eyebrows. If he had known this, he would have given Jiang Xinyue a random marriage. Even if she had a bad reputation, who would dare to disobey the emperor's marriage?

"What else can the queen say?" He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the woman kneeling below.

Although it was snowing and cold outside, the charcoal fire was strong inside the house. The woman wore very little clothes, only pieces of tulle, and her snow-white skin could be seen even in the dim candlelight.

"The Empress asked the concubine to take good care of His Majesty, and didn't say anything else." Jiang Xinyue put on the best posture, raised her head, and looked at Jing Guhan with shining eyes. "The concubine knew that His Majesty was busy with political affairs, so she specially asked the maid to prepare ginger soup, and someone would bring it over every two hours. Just now, the concubine was too tired, so she

lay on the king's side, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive her sins."

Gu Han has already become vigilant and disgusted, so he cannot be moved by everything Jiang Xinyue does.

Just looking at the woman's clothes and behavior, he knew what the other party was planning. The person in front of him was twisted and deformed, no matter how good she was, she couldn't compare to his childhood sweetheart since childhood.

"You get dressed and go out, I want to rest alone tonight." He left a sentence, put down the bed curtain and stopped looking at her.

Jiang Xinyue was taken aback when she heard the words, did Jing Guhan really dislike her so much?

She squeezed the handkerchief tightly, unwilling to do so, but she couldn't ignore Jing Guhan's identity, so she had to pretend to be obedient and retreated, and it took a while to put it on.

The candlelight casts the figure on the screen, and if a man wants to see it, he must be able to see it.

But when she got dressed and left, the man didn't ask her to stay, and her silver teeth were almost shattered!

"Xu Chong——" Jing Guhan called out to his personal eunuch, and a person behind him hurried in.

"What orders does the emperor have?" Xu Chong knelt on the ground and asked in a low voice.

Jing Guhan rubbed his head, the sequelae of drunkenness still remained on his body, even if Zhong Yanyu was not around, he could not leave the Kunning Palace, he needed to appease Zhong's family.

"Let the people below keep their mouths tight about today's matter and not let it out." He had a headache.

He and Zhong Yanyu have been classmates since childhood, deep in the palace conspiracy, hiding a knife in a smile, this resplendent and magnificent hall, every giant red pillar on it is stained with invisible palace blood.

Although he was loved by the late emperor before and had the air of a king, he was actually not the eldest son. There were the eldest prince and the second prince in front of him, and their family power should not be underestimated.

At that time, the queen mother was only the daughter of a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her power was weak. It was not easy to keep him in the deep palace. She praised war and chaos and emphasized military affairs over literature, and the powerful Zhong family was a staunch royalist party.

Marrying Zhong Yanyu meant to win over the Zhong family, and things went as he wished, but in the end it became his obstacle——

Jing Guhan pursed his lips, "Go and push tomorrow morning, if there is something important, Ask all the officials to hand over the booklet and send it to the imperial study, and I will come over later."

Xu Chong responded and retreated, leaving only a few maids in the room to watch the night.

Jing Guhan opened the creaking window, sat on the edge of the bed, stared at the snowflakes flying outside the window, he once promised Zhong Yanyu his life, but he went back on it, so did Yanyu go back on it?

His mood was unstable, and he felt that he had lost the rationality and calmness he should have in dealing with things. Maybe he really wanted to separate from Yanyu for a while and think about what to do next.

As time passed, the ice and snow melted, and the trees faintly sprouted new branches.

On the day of the draft, the queen mother was the most excited. She never thought that the draft would go smoothly without any surprises.

She waited in Ziyu Palace early this morning, flipping through the picture album.

Dasong New Emperor's first draft was not sloppy. After the emperor allowed it, he was immediately assigned by the household department. The grassroots officials from all over the country reported the roster of girls of the right age layer by layer. After the women arrived in the capital, they had to be screened five times before being drafted, examining their family background, looks, talents, virtues, etc., before they could enter the palace to have an audience. Women who could pass the checkpoints were rare.

And the last one was chosen by the emperor himself, and the empress dowager and empress watched from the side.

If you get the favor of the emperor, you can stay in the palace and give them the titles of promise, talent, nobleman, concubine, Jieyu, concubine, noble concubine, and imperial concubine. The Queen and the Queen Mother can only make a decision after discussing it.

Zhong Yanyu came neither early nor late, before he arrived at the Purple Jade Palace, he saw a group of beautiful women from a distance observing the etiquette under the guidance of his mother. 

After rebirth, he quit the cinnabar moleWhere stories live. Discover now
