There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 354 I'm Sorry For You
"After the new year, it will be 20 years of Qinghe, Xia Houjue, time flies so fast..."

It was not too cold in early winter, and the two of them leaned against the window and looked at the crumbling leaves on the plane tree outside the window, sighing from time to time.

Xia Houjue couldn't help laughing: "It's been more than [-] years since you entered the palace in a blink of an eye. I just think you haven't changed at all?"

"Of course I haven't changed at all!" Tang Wanning suddenly said arrogantly, "Unlike you, I grow old in a blink of an eye."

He was only 20 years old when he entered the palace, he was a young man in his prime, because of some experiences in his childhood, he became ruthless, decisive in killing and killing, waiting for idlers to dare to get close to him.

Even if he has outstanding achievements, even if he is brilliant, even if he is courteous to corporals, even if he loves loyal ministers, the courtiers still seem to prefer Xia Houyan, who is more virtuous and eloquent.

The court has the support of the courtiers, and the harem has the plan of the queen of the year, so his position as the crown prince is really in danger at any time.

But at such a young age, he managed to hold on, after all, no one knew what method he used, maybe he used his father's friendship with his dead mother, or he secretly cultivated it. He might even take advantage of his father's guilt towards him.

No matter what he used, he managed to survive in the palace at such a young age, and it was difficult that no one could imagine.

"Xia Houjue, you are actually quite remarkable." Tang Wanning put her face on his shoulder and murmured, her eyes full of admiration.

For some reason, Xia Houjue's eyes suddenly turned red. He put his hands heavily on Tang Wanning's shoulders, and said solemnly.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry for you, but I just want to tell you that I didn't really want to hurt you at first."

"At that time... I couldn't believe anyone, even my confidants, even my father, if I made a wrong step, I would be lost forever." Xiahou Jue's eyes were full of pain.

"What's more, it's the woman my father personally proposed to marry me." He laughed at himself, with irony in his eyes.

"At that time, I really paid attention to the Meng family. What I valued was the power behind her and the fact that she had nothing to do with the successor faction. The Meng family is the world's most famous scholar. As long as I have the support of the Meng family, my chances of winning the throne will be great. Some." Xia Houjue said with distressed eyes.

That's right, he just felt sorry for himself when he was young. At that time, it was really difficult. It was rare that he couldn't sleep every night, and when he fell asleep, he would have nightmares.

Although he is a prince, he is still a real person after all. From childhood to adulthood, what kind of life has he lived like walking on thin ice?

"But later, when referring to the marriage, Father pointed out you. I don't know what Father was thinking at that time. I thought he did this on purpose after listening to the instigation of the successor. But now I finally know that Father The emperor still loves me." Xia Houjue's eyes were full of sadness.

"He wants me to take advantage of your Tang family's military power to ascend the throne safely and smoothly, not to control me."

After all these years, I still have some feelings for my father, even though he has done so many wrong things, even if he left his mother behind, watching himself and his successor fight openly and secretly, but just turn a blind eye and close his eyes. Eyes, not much to lend a helping hand.

In the end, he still secretly protected him.

"It's over, don't think about it anymore, I will always be by your side," Tang Wanning comforted him.

Xia Houjue continued: "Wanwan, do you know? I was dissatisfied with you at that time, and after all, I used some means to capture Meng Shi, and she finally became my side concubine, but I didn't believe her in my heart, not only did I not trust her , in fact, I don’t trust anyone at all.”

"I have a lot of women. They were arranged by my father and my successors. For various purposes, they entered my East Palace with the mission of the master behind them. Haha..." Xia Houjue smiled ferociously .

"However, I still can't resist clearly, let alone don't want to. I can only spoil them. If you come to one, I will spoil one, and if you spoil one, I will lose the other. All I can think about is to get on the throne smoothly, and take control of the world to avenge my mother... ..."

"But I don't know, I still hurt you after all, I have so many women, after all, I am not worthy of you who is pure and pure..." The corners of Xia Houjue's eyes were red.

"You are so clean, like the green hills after the rain, your eyes are so clear, like a mountain stream, you are the only woman around me who doesn't have any purpose, you are sometimes silly, but you are very smart in big things, you Most of the time, you are friendly, and only when you face me, you deliberately make trouble and find fault, and I know that you are probably not satisfied with me."

Xia Houjue suddenly smiled dotingly and looked at her.

"Do you know Wanwan? You are the only woman beside me who doesn't want to pounce, but wants to escape. I wondered at that time, there are people in the world who don't like power?"

Tang Wanning: "..."

Good guy, why are men like this?Suddenly, I remembered the plot I saw in the CEO's article in my previous life.

The female lead is against the male lead in everything, and finally the male lead says, "Very good, woman, you have successfully caught my attention."

Uh... I didn't feel a black line on my forehead, thinking that if I was the heroine of the CEO Wen, I would probably punch the CEO's stomach with her fist and tell him contemptuously.

"Fuck your sister, I don't want to attract your attention."

……

With a chuckle, Tang Wanning blushed and peeked at Xia Houjue, only to see him laughing too.

"What is Wanwan laughing at? Isn't it ridiculous?"

"Almost, but I want to know, when exactly did you think of abandoning your little wives?"

Xia Houjue's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said after thinking about it.

"Actually, I don't like them in my heart. It's just that some people are kind and innocent. Although they entered the palace with family responsibilities, they haven't done anything to hurt me. I really can't bear to drive them out of the palace."

"But at that time, I was all about you. I wanted to be by your side every day, but I was afraid that you would be framed by them. I was worried that you would be polluted by the harem, and that your simple mind would suffer. I..."

After all, Xia Houjue is a man, so he must not be good at making calculations among women, not to mention his indifferent appearance, but his heart is hot, and he doesn't want to hurt the innocent.

So... the matter between them has been delayed for a long time.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry for you."

"There's nothing I'm sorry about, and you're not dirty..." For some reason, the knot in my heart that had been hidden for a long time finally opened.

Is it too much to talk about chastity and sentiment for an emperor who survived in ancient times?

Even in modern times, if you really meet your lover, do you have to give up because he has an ex-girlfriend?Want to check a man's virginity?
