Chapter 36

The Imperial Study Room of the Apocalypse Palace.

Emperor Ming Xi was reviewing the memorial, pressing his temples with his hands from time to time.

It's not that he doesn't know all kinds of rumors in the market, but now the rumors have become facts and cannot be changed. He only hopes that with Dugu Yan's entry into the palace, everything can gradually fade away.

Li Yue walked into the imperial study and saluted Emperor Mingxi and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine Xian has already entered the palace, and now the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, Lord Shangguan, and the Minister of Rites, Fang Shufang, are already arranging for the concubine Xian to go to the Shouhuang Palace to pay homage. ancestors."

Emperor Ming Xi raised his head and said, "Okay, tell Shangguan Lin and Fang Zicheng to be careful and not make any mistakes. Also, tell Concubine Xian that I will go to see her tonight."

"Abiding by the order, the servant is going to pass on the message." Li Yue bowed back and retreated.

Looking at Li Yue who retreated, Emperor Mingxi pressed his temple again.After the divorce from the Hall of Supreme Harmony that day, Xiao Jinxi has been shutting out the news from there. Xiao Jinxi has never asked a word about Xiangguo Temple, so she just divorced directly. This is not in line with her personality. , what went wrong? ······

Emperor Ming Xi shook his head, and continued to read the memorial with his head down helplessly.

As night fell, the Apocalypse Palace Chengqian Palace.

Li Yuezheng sent imperial gifts to Chengqian Palace according to the decree: "The emperor bestowed two pairs of Nanhai corals and five pieces of jade Ruyi on the virtuous concubine, five pieces of Yuluo Shu brocade and ten gold hairpins from the emperor, and the emperor bestowed on the virtuous concubine Two pairs of hibiscus jade bracelets for the concubine, five pairs of emerald earrings, a pair of Yutang spring vases for the virtuous concubine, a set of Ru kiln porcelain, and a set of blue and white porcelain for the concubine, two boxes of Luozidai and two boxes of Nanzhu given by the emperor, The emperor bestowed five boxes of golden melon seeds and 500 taels of silver on the concubine, the emperor bestowed fifteen pieces of jade ornaments on the concubine, and the emperor bestowed on the concubine a golden silk nan guqin..."

"Congratulations, empress! Congratulations, empress! This servant congratulates the concubine Xian! Your Majesty's favor!" Li Yue bowed to Dugu Yan and saluted.

At this moment, Dugu Yan under the red veil was already full of joy, and said: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."

I saw Li Yue said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you have beaten a slave. This is what a slave should do. Your Majesty, the Emperor knows that you like to play the piano, so he specially found this Jinsinan guqin. The Emperor has really cared for you." !"

"Okay, Ben Gong understands." Dugu Yan said happily again.

Li Yue said courteously again: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, the emperor's imperial study will come over soon after the processing is completed. The emperor is afraid that your empress will be worried, so he specially ordered the servant to come over and tell you first."

"Okay, then I will wait for the emperor to come over." Dugu Yan said after hearing the words.

Qiao'er stepped forward, took out a purse and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Li. Congratulations today. This is what our mother gave you."

Li Yue took the purse and said happily again: "I thank you, my lady, for your kindness! My lady, I have to return to the emperor, so I will retire first."

"Well, let's go," Dugu Yan said again.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Li Yue bowed in salute and retreated.

"Miss, you see how kind the emperor is to you! He has prepared so many things for you." Qiao'er looked at the densely packed imperial gifts in the palace and said happily.

"Yes, the emperor is very careful." At this moment, Dugu Yan was already intoxicated by the sweetness of grace.

After a moment.

"The emperor is here..." Li Yue's sharp voice came from outside the hall.

"See the emperor!" All the people in the hall saluted Emperor Mingxi.

"Pingshen, let's all go down to receive the reward." Emperor Ming Xi said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked and bowed and retreated.

At this moment, Emperor Ming Xi was already wearing a red wedding gown, looking at the woman sitting on the bed, Ming Xi smiled, but his eyes were calm. up woman's red hijab.

"The concubine sees the emperor." The woman saluted delicately.

"My beloved concubine is free of courtesy, come and sit down." Emperor Ming Xi said as he stretched out his hand to support the woman.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Dugu Yan replied coquettishly.

"My dear concubine, I have wronged you. The current situation is special and I cannot grant you the position of empress, but in the future I will find an opportunity to do as you wish." Emperor Mingxi gently stroked the woman's face and comforted her.

When Dugu Yan heard the words, he was already secretly pleased, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Yan'er knows that the Emperor likes Yan'er. No matter whether Yan'er is your virtuous concubine or your empress, Yan'er will definitely do her best to help the Emperor."

"I knew that only my concubine is dedicated to me..."

······
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

At this moment, Mo Yi was infusing internal energy into Xiao Jinxi, and the Nuan Pavilion fell into silence. Everyone in the Jinxiu Pavilion was used to every other day and night, and this old friend would visit to find the master.

After a long time, Mo Yifang withdrew his inner breath and took the woman's pulse instead. After a while, Fang said: "The cold energy in Xi'er's body has subsided a little, but you still have to be careful not to worry too much."

Xiao Jinxi withdrew his hand when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you, my lord, Jinxi will pay attention."

Mo Yi looked at the woman, and knew that the woman was just perfunctory himself.But what was it that made her so worried?It was definitely not Murong Xuan.what is that?Is it Chen'er?She always called Chen'er in the nightmare, who is it?

The man looked at the woman, lost in thought.

Xiao Jinxi looked very uncomfortable, and said: "Young Master, Jin Xi's cold syndrome has improved, and you don't need to infuse me with internal energy every other day. This is always bad for you."

Hearing the words, Mo Yi came back to his senses: "Xi'er, I'm fine, your coldness has just subsided, you must not stop your internal breath to recuperate at this time, otherwise it will aggravate the coldness instead."

Xiao Jinxi heard the words but had no way to refute, because what the man said was true, it was true, she was already proficient in the technique of Qi and Huang, and she was very clear about her physical condition, but there were too many things in this life, and these were all learned in her previous life. Can't expose too much.

"Thank you, sir." Xiao Jinxi finally replied helplessly.

Hearing the words, Mo Yi said softly: "Xi'er doesn't need to be so polite to me. When my mother and concubine died of illness, I stayed in the deep palace alone. Thanks to Xi'er for helping me like that, I'm just repaying Xi'er for that time. Grace."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly when he heard the words and said: "Young master, you are so smart, you were just patient and waiting for the opportunity, but Jin Xi was just a childish ignorant and liked to fight injustice. It’s good to wait until the Mo family picks you up.”

Mo Yi said again in a clear voice: "If it wasn't for the warmth Xi'er gave back then, Yi would have been full of resentment when he left Tianqi, and Yi would have been unhappy in these years."

At this moment, the man's thoughts seemed to go back to a long time ago, and he continued to say: "When the concubine mother left, she told me not to hate those people, because those people are not worth it. The concubine mother asked me to wait patiently for my grandmother to take me back to the Mo family. Be a child of the Mo family and be happy, then she will feel at ease."

"When the concubine mother left, she asked me to promise her, and I promised her. But after the concubine mother left, I found it very difficult, very difficult."

"I can't forget why the concubine mother was seriously ill, and I can't forget everything that those people put on our mother and son. But the concubine mother didn't allow me to do anything. I promised her, and I can only let myself bear it. Any bullying can only be endured."

Xiao Jinxi just quietly listened to the man's narration of the past, and couldn't bear to disturb him.

Mo Yi continued to speak slowly: "It's been a long time, and I was actually full of hatred at that time. But that day, when you, Xi'er, appeared to snatch back the cloak for me, when you handed the cloak into my hands, I didn't know what to do." I felt that long-lost warmth. It was something I had never felt in Tianqi Palace after my concubine and nanny left. Later, when you handed the emerald beads to me, Xi’er, at that time I was surprised that Tianqi Palace actually I am reluctant to let go, I know that my grandmother will come to pick me up soon, and I am afraid that after I leave the Tianqi Palace, I may never see you again."

The man's thoughts slowly came back, he turned his head to look at Xiao Jinxi and said slowly: "Later, my uncle came to pick me up. I told my uncle, but my uncle told me that only by leaving the Apocalypse Palace can I spread my wings and become stronger. I am so strong that no one can bully me, so I have the ability to protect the people I want to protect."

Xiao Jinxi, who was extremely uncomfortable being looked at by the man, said: "Thank you for caring about Jinxi for many years, but Jinxi will protect herself. You don't have to worry about it, you just take care of yourself."

"Xi'er, don't reject me again, okay?" Mo Yi looked at the woman and begged.

Xiao Jinxi turned her head helplessly when she heard the words, changed the subject and said, "Thank you for the news about the northern border, my lord. It is very useful to me."

Mo Yi, who was not rejected again, smiled knowingly, and said: "It's good that it's useful. Emperor Mingxi should be delighted that Dugu Yan entered the palace today. One of the two founding princes' mansions has finally been included under his command."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly when he heard the words and said, "Include him under his command? That's not necessarily the case."

Mo Yi smiled knowingly and said, "Xi'er is really smart!"
