The sun had not yet fully risen; the air was covered with wet mist, and dewdrops were hanging on the weed leaves on the roadside. At this time, Chen Xu's car had arrived outside Dong'anmen Gate, and she saw the towering imperial city and the high walls in front of her.

It was the first time in his life that Chen Xu was inexplicably nervous and nervous. It was really rare for her to enter the palace as a businessman.

The group delayed for a while at Dong'anmen Square and soon arrived at Donghua Gate again.

Chen Xu walked down from the carriage, and the eunuchs around him stopped. The eunuch beside him said, "You have to search for your body when you enter the palace. This is the rule. Even if it is a prince, the Duke of the Kingdom will not be exceptional. Mrs. Chen, please don't blame him. The lady went to the gatehouse first. After the palace wife searched, someone would take you to Rouyi Hall. Our family must go first, but if the emperor returned to the palace, he would be fine."

Chen Xu asked casually: "The Lord went out so early?"

Wang Gui said: "Before dawn, the emperor went to Xuanwu Gate. I don't know if I have returned to the palace now. Our family will ask people first to find out. If the emperor comes back, it should go to Fengtian Gate."

After saying that, he held his fists and said goodbye, and Chen Xu also returned the courtesy.

At this time, several palace maids took Chen Xu into a room. They closed the door and pulled the curtains up. Chen Xu stood there and sighed softly.

She didn't think it was inappropriate to search her body. She really dressed up this morning and spent a lot of time, just because she was afraid that her clothes and hair would be messed up.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, the rich and noble dresses became more and more complicated, while Chen Xu only liked simplicity.

She combed her simple hair-wrapped style, and used a dark blue ribbon to tie her headdress. She had only a silver-inlaid hairpin with ruby ​​hair, and her hair was not messy. She wore a light purple shirt, a dark blue satin double-breasted strap, and a red embroidery on the edge of the dress. The colors of the dress were only blue, purple, red, and white, but the material was very good, flat and brand new and shiny.

Chen Xu is quite suitable for wearing dark clothes; the green base clothes make her already white skin look as white as snow. The dark and shiny materials complement her carefully decorated facial features and fingers, and the colors are bright and distinct. Her dress is not ostentatious, but she is exquisite and gorgeous.

The palace maids saw that she was dressed well and were very careful in searching her body. The palace maids couldn't help but look at her a few more times. A young palace maid even exclaimed softly, "Madam is so beautiful." Chen Xu was really worried just now.

After a long time, Chen Xu clarified his clothes carefully and walked out of the room. At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui was waiting outside the door. Wang Gui said, "The emperor has not returned to the palace yet, let's take Mrs. Chen to Rouyi Hall to wait."

Chen Xu responded and followed Wang Gui into Donghua Gate.

"Where is Rouyi Hall?" Chen Xu asked as he walked.

Wang Gui said: "The place is north of Wuying Hall, and to the west are the three main halls, including Fengtian Hall and others. The time when our emperor met with Chen Jikuo of Jiaozhi last time, he was there."

"Oh...that shouldn't be far away." Chen Xu responded casually.

It sounded like Rouyi Hall was in the court area. When she saw that the palace was full of people, she couldn't help but wonder: Isn't Gao Xu summoning her to really just talk about serious matters?

At this time, Chen Xu felt that her guess was impossible. Gao Xu was already the emperor and had three thousand beauties in the harem. He also agreed that the two had an affair for the last time, and he could no longer make things difficult for her.

When Chen Xu thought about this, she was a little disappointed. But this would be fine, she could have less worries.

After she and the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the main hall of Rouyi Hall, they saw that there was no one inside. At this time, Wang Gui asked Chen Xu to wait for a while, and he also retreated.

Chen Xu stood alone in the huge palace, and at first glance he noticed the large desk facing north in the middle of the hall. Because the desk was arranged abruptly, it would not usually be placed in the middle of the house. This made Chen Xu think of the study of the Han Palace in Yunnan, where the desk was also placed in the middle. It was obviously the place arranged by Zhu Gaoxu himself.

She looked back and saw that the hall was quaint, with some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around it; behind the desk, there were a whole row of bookshelves, with many books and files placed on it.

Chen Xu walked slowly, walked to the front of the desk, and saw an imperial edict on it. She curiously looked around and saw it. It was the imperial edict that named her the third-rank imperial lady, written by Gao Xu. It was written in front of it that Chen Xu emphasized righteousness and neglected profit, and in the "Battle of Crime", funded the criminal army for the sake of justice, and rewarded merits and so on.

After reading the content, a teasing smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, Chen Xu heard the footsteps, and when he turned his head, he saw a burly young man walking into the hall gate. Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, because Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a military uniform, with a bun on his head, and had not even a hat on his head, and sweat on his forehead. If Chen Xu had not known him, he would not have thought that this person was the emperor!

Zhu Gaoxu had a smile on his face and looked at her and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mrs. Chen is still so beautiful."

Chen Xu then came to his senses, hurriedly walked around from the north of the desk, knelt on the ground and bowed to the ground and said, "I'll bow to the Lord."

Zhu Gaoxu did not respond, but he actually turned around and closed the palace gate!

Chen Xu's face suddenly became hot.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly came over and bent down to help Xu. Chen Xu smelled a special smell of sweat.

Then she heard Zhu Gaoxu's voice saying, "Mrs. She has weak bones and abundant muscles, and her body is beautiful. Her kneeling posture is even more beautiful and seductive."

Chen Xu's mind suddenly buzzed, and it was blank. She didn't remember to invite her because she was helped up by Zhu Gaoxu. She looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, and she couldn't speak at this moment as if something was blocking her mouth. Zhu Gaoxu was staring at her collar, her eyes were very hot.

She thought that in this majestic imperial city, the ancient and literary palace, the scene began with various etiquette and careful words. However, everything was unexpected.

Chen Xu wanted to say that last time was the last time, but she finally didn't say anything.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to feel that she was a little reluctant, so he persuaded him kindly: "No one else knows about it."

Chen Xu's mood was also very restless. She felt Zhu Gaoxu's warm palms on her shoulders, and she had a little difficulty breathing. There was still some reason for her to feel "not supposed to" in her heart, but it soon became very unstable; perhaps because she had long been in love with Gao Xu, she really couldn't find a reason to strongly refuse.

She suddenly hugged Zhu Gaoxu's neck and pressed her face against his skin. She searched Donghuamen for unchaotic hair and clothes, and in an instant she became messy.

I wandered for so long yesterday, but unexpectedly, less than half a stick of incense sticks were seen with her and Gao Xu, everything happened naturally.

At this moment, Chen Xu felt a little disappointed again.

...

The sun was shining in April, and it was already noon. Yao Fang, who had just walked out of the imperial prison, had his eyes thorned by the bright light, and he quickly closed his eyes again. It took a while before he could get used to it.

Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, said behind him: "I will follow the emperor's wishes and release you today. Yao Fang, you can go home and you don't have to go to Jinyiwei again in the future."

Yao Fang turned around and clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, General Zhang, I will be in the later stage."

Zhang Sheng immediately put away his official expression and said kindly: "Ling Zun is outside Hongwu Gate. I will send someone to tell him, go quickly."

Yao Fang has become a commoner, but Zhang Sheng must know that his sister is still the imperial concubine.

It was difficult to take a bath in the prison. Yao Fang, who took off her prison uniform and untied the chain, was still dirty and her hair was messy, as if she was not a human being. He walked out of the Hongwu Gate not far away in a daze, and indeed saw Yao Fengji and several slaves waiting there with a carriage.

"It made my father worried." Yao Fang walked forward and bowed.

Yao Fengji looked at him and slapped Yao Fang in the arm: "Get into the car, go home and wash it up and have a good meal."

The father and son walked onto the carriage together, looking at each other speechlessly. Yao Fang always felt something was wrong with his family, who had been separated since childhood; his father seemed to feel the same way.

The carriage was quickly driven by the groom, and the carriage was shaken gently. Yao Fengji, who was sitting opposite, took the initiative to speak: "You can be fine this time, my second sister should have helped a lot. Don't do stupid things again in the future!"

"Yeah!" Yao Fang nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Yao Fengji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yao Fang was no longer angry, but now his heart was just empty; he felt that nothing was interesting and didn't know what he should do.

"Qin's family is at home?" Yao Fang suddenly asked.

"How is that possible?" Yao Fengji frowned, "You robbed Qin's family. Fortunately, you were taken away immediately. The Qin family didn't come quickly to pick them up and keep some innocence. What are you still in our family doing if you don't know what to do?"

After hearing this, Yao Fang nodded, thinking it made sense.

Yao Fengji stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Qin is married again, why don't you cause trouble again!"

"What?" Yao Fang was stunned.

Yao Fengji said: "Mr. Qin has a reputation as a juren. It is not a glorious thing to have his daughter robbed him on the day of his marriage. However, the Qin family secretly sent a gift to thank him. The Xiao family had been convicted before."

Yao Fang's face and expression were strange. He didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh, but he was distracted for a long time.

Yao Fengji's voice vaguely said: "I heard that the husband's family thinks that Qin is beautiful and virtuous, and the couple is very loving after getting married. A gentleman is a beauty, Fang'er should not pay attention to this matter anymore."

"Yeah!" Yao Fang nodded vigorously again, so that his father could feel at ease.

He and Qin met by chance, but they met once. Yao Fang was very calm at this time. He was just confused: On the day he was arrested, Qin chased him out and said that she had really been to the temple and asked if what he said was true... What exactly did she mean?
