The sword had been taken from her hand, but she still stood up like that, her body stiff and her hair never trembled.

Xie Changgeng couldn't help but glanced at her again.

The light of the candlelight could not cover her pale face.

Even the lips are extremely bleak.

He pushed the door open and saw her standing here with her back to the door, and actually pulled out his sword. He thought she was playing, so he came over and took the sword away.

Looking at her now, the situation seems not as she thought.

He couldn't help but suspect that the woman was still complaining about the previous attempted attempt to reunite. In addition, the Mu family should also know that Empress Liu had always been bad for them. This time, she was forced to enter the capital and lived with her in the same room as her, for fear that she would be extremely unwilling to accept it and even resentful, so she got the sword in the room.

He felt unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face, and said, "You are not my intention to enter Beijing this time. I have just come back and realized that you have been summoned here by the Queen Mother."

He paused and glanced at the sword that had just been hung back by himself.

"Let's rest!"

"The morning meeting will end tomorrow, I will take you into the palace!"

He said coldly. After that, he turned around, took off the semi-wet cloak, walked to the door, and shook off the snow on his head.

Mu Fulan barely stopped her hands that were still trembling slightly, slowly moved her extremely heavy steps, and finally sat back on the edge of the bed.

Mu's mother had heard the news, and she knew Xie Changgeng had returned. She hurriedly came out of the nearby ear room resting nearby, and brought water in with the two women who were already serving their daily routines, and then closed the door and left.

After Xie Changgeng finished his shower, he walked out in a neat white shirt.

Mu Fulan had already gone to bed, covered herself with a quilt, and lay down facing inward.

He looked indifferent, blew the light, walked straight to the bed, and lay down. There was more than an arm's distance between the two of them. Then he pulled over the quilt and closed his eyes.

Mu Fulan woke up all night, and amid the endless darkness that was pressing and the uniform breathing sound of the man beside him, he opened his eyes and waited until dawn.

He got up early, washed up, changed into court clothes and left. At about the silence, the manager came to invite Mu Fulan, saying that the carriage was set outside the gate, and asked his wife to go out and go to the palace.

Mu Fulan has finished dressing up and has changed her clothes.

Xie Changgeng's full-time official title is the ambassador of the Hexi Governor of the General Administration of the General Administration of Liangzhou and the governor of Liangzhou. He is a second-rank senior official by rank.

In his previous life, Mu Fulan, who was in Xie County, was later awarded an imperial edict and was given a wardrobe by the wife of the imperial edict given by the court.

Naturally, she didn't have it yet, so she wore a pre-prepared set of moon-color satin dresses that were much more grand than usual clothes. The colors were full of flowers and butterflies embroidered with gold and silver threads, and the edges were decorated with gold and silver threads. They were exquisite and rich, but also had some old customs.

Finally, she looked at herself in her glasses, walked out, came to the door, and got into the carriage waiting there.

The carriage carried her outside the palace. Cao Jin, who had come to Xie’s house to spread the message yesterday, was waiting there. When he saw Mu Fulan arrive, he led her in. While walking, he smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is in the Wangxian Palace. Xie Jieduan is waiting for the Master outside."

Wangxian Palace is the place where Empress Liu usually lives in court.

Mu Fulan nodded at the eunuch Cao with a smile, followed in, passed through the hall, came outside the Wangxian Palace, and saw Xie Changgeng standing there.

"Xie Jiedushi, Master Weng is here."

Eunuch Cao left Mu Fulan, stepped forward quickly, and came to Xie Changgeng.

Xie Changgeng nodded and his eyes turned to Mu Fulan.

A ray of sunlight was shooting down from the top of the Glazed Hall, shining on her body. From head to toe, there was golden silk and silver thread, and she was rich and honorable, which was in line with her identity.

Xie Changgeng glanced at him, but had no expression. He withdrew his gaze and said, "Follow me."

Mu Fulan took his eyes back from him and the eunuch Cao, followed him down and walked into the hall. She saw the eunuch Yang Guangshu coming out from afar.

"See the Queen Mother, I advise you to be honest."

A whisper suddenly came from my ears.

Mu Fulan raised her eyes and glanced at him quickly.

Xie Changgeng looked straight ahead, his eyes were expressionless, and he walked towards Yang Guangshu who was walking here.

Eunuch Yang soon approached, his eyes stopped at Mu Fulan, and greeted her, and then said, "The Empress Dowager is nostalgic. Later, he learned that you two are married again, so he wanted to summon Master Weng to the palace to talk. This time, he learned that Master Weng was inappropriate and was worried. He specially sent someone to take the imperial physician to see him. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong, and that was the best. Xie Jieduan was busy and had no time to clone him, so he simply took Master Weng over. You two are newly married, so they must be hard to part with. Moreover, Xie Jieduan left home on the night of his wedding because of quelling the rebellion. The Empress Dowager has been dissatisfied with it, and this time it is also considered a beauty of adulthood."

Mu Fulan acted ashamed and did not speak.

Xie Changgeng smiled and said, "Eunuch Yang said very well, the Empress Dowager is caring for you, and Xie is very grateful."

While talking, people walked to the inner hall.

Mu Fulan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, followed Xie Changgeng to Empress Liu, and the two bowed.

Xie Changgeng thanked Empress Liu. Empress Liu looked at the two and said with a smile: "Xie Qing, you don't have to be too polite here in this palace. I am very pleased that you and my wife can get together. Fulan lived in the palace for more than half a year when she was a child. I liked her very much. I know you have something to do, so go first, don't worry, and leave the person to me. After I have finished reminiscing with her, I will send the beautiful lady back for you."

In her words, she had a teasing like an elder. After saying that, two gazes fell on Xie Changgeng's face.

Xie Changgeng did not react much. He smiled like a situation. After thanking him respectfully, he stood up and retreated.

Only Empress Liu, Mu Fulan, and the Eunuch Yang were left in the hall.

Mu Fulan immediately felt the change in Empress Liu's attitude.

She still had a smile on her face and was talking to her. She didn't see the majesty or intimidation that a queen mother should have, and her expression was also gentle. But Mu Fulan could see clearly that since Xie Changgeng left, her two eyes never left her again.

She knew that Empress Liu was observing her. Her powerful eyes would never let go of any of her small eyes or movements.

Even without the words from Xie Changgeng just now, Mu Fulan knew that this was definitely not a moment for him to show his cleverness.

But she can't act too stupid either. That will only arouse the other party's suspicion.

Too much is not enough, she understands the truth.

She responded to the question from Empress Liu one by one, neither showing any intelligence nor being too stupid.

He is just a talented person who grew up by his family, has not been deeply involved in the world, and has become the most popular person.

Empress Liu said something to her and suddenly asked her if she missed her aunt.

Mu Fulan nodded. Empress Liu gave her grace and asked Eunuch Yang to take her to visit the throne of Mu Hu.

Behind the scenes, the late emperor Yuanhou, at first after his death, the spiritual position was naturally offered to the Taimiao. A few years later, a fire burned down the side hall that offered to the spiritual position of the Muhou. After that, the inner court planned to rebuild, but due to various delays, the fortifications were not completed. After a long time, no one cared about it.

Now her throne is still listed in the back hall, which is a side hall for the concubines who have won the position of honor and grief behind her.

Mu Fulan was led by Eunuch Yang and walked into the gloomy back side hall, knelt in front of her aunt's spiritual throne, burning incense and praying.

She returned to Hou Liu, with her eyes still a little red.

Empress Liu recalled some of the old things about Empress Yuan, and looked sighing, "I remember when your aunt and mother were in the world, I was just a concubine. Thinking of her all kinds of virtuousness and virtue, I still remember it freshly. Unfortunately, the heaven was jealous of her beauty and asked her to go early. I was sympathetic to your aunt and sisters. In the future, I would like to tell me what you think and ask for."

Mu Fulan's eyes turned red, her face showed excitement, and with a "thump", her knees bent and she knelt in front of her.

"The Queen Mother, Fulan dared to speak. My aunt's spiritual position should have been in the front hall, but I heard that when the Ming Hall was rebuilt, fortifications collapsed repeatedly. The ritual official said that the fate of the person who accompanied him was auspicious and collided, so it was delayed."

"It must be that they made a mistake. How could my aunt have an evil fate? The Queen Mother is kind. If she is kind, she will think of a way to move her aunt back to the front hall. Fulan is very grateful."

After she finished speaking, tears fell down.

Queen Liu agreed immediately, saying that she would find a way, and asked her to get up and comfort her. Mu Fulan cried and laughed.

On this day, Mu Fulan was kept by Queen Liu until evening and gave her a dish of food before she asked someone to send her out of the palace.

The daylight is short in winter, and when Mu Fulan returns to the house, it is already dark.

Before Xie Changgeng returned, she entered the room and looked up and saw that the sword hanging there yesterday was gone.

It must have been taken away by Xie Changgeng.

She stared at the empty wall and stood there for a moment. During the day, in the palace, facing the various tests of Empress Liu, she pretended to be stupid and the emotions that were pressing into her heart suddenly surged up, like a tide, submerged her entire body.

She didn't sleep all night last night, and this day was spent in a long period of caution and falsehood. She felt extremely tired, took a hot bath, came out, and went to bed early.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of her Xier again.

From the day she opened her eyes again, there was almost no night when she didn't fall asleep with her deep longing for Xier.

Every time I woke up with Xier in my dream, I only added a little bit of her grief and resentment towards Xie Changgeng.

Even though she died early and was in a state of terrible death, she hated herself more than she was the heartless and ruthless person who resented her husband.

He was such a person.

In the last life, on the first night they spent together, the warmth and love he had shown for her may be true.

He probably never really forgot the kindness of the old Changsha King for his understanding.

When he witnessed her last death, he might have felt guilty at that moment.

But that's all.

When those things become obstacles on his way to the top, all the warmth will be completely torn off.

When she was thirteen years old, the young man in green who walked on the mountain road next to the old cypress in Junshan was just a back.

The giant bandit in the river who came to ask for marriage in Li, who was ambitious and competed for the world, was the real Xie Changgeng.

If you want to hate, you hate your stupidity and weakness, which nourishes the selfishness and ruthlessness in his bones and blood. They finally turn into sharp swords and ruin her life.

Until the last minute.

When she witnessed Xier committing suicide in front of her tablet of immortality, she deeply felt the grief and unsolved resentment.

It was also from that moment that she truly hated Xie Changgeng, a man who was once the dreamer of her girl.
