When the news of the prince's resignation came, the queen sat on a high seat, looked at the empty palace, and smiled lowly.
"Go and give a pot of peonies to the imperial concubine."
…
On February 15th, Queen Xie united with the aristocratic family to force the palace, and the private army supported by the Xie family surrounded the Zichen Palace.
The empress led people to force the palace.
The private army was well-equipped and well prepared, and quickly dispersed. The guards in front of the Zichen Palace broke into the emperor's bedroom.
There was no one in the vast and majestic palace.
…
"The Queen should have noticed by now that there is no one in the Zichen Hall."
Emperor Qianhua stood with his hands behind his back. He stood on a high attic, and the strong wind roared and rolled up his robe, making a hunting sound like a flag that would not fall down.
Behind him, Lingchan raised her eyes and smiled lively, "Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted! How could you have guessed that the Queen was going to rebel?"
"She is too confident." Emperor Qianhua turned around. He looked at Lingchan with deep eyes and an unpredictable expression: "She has been like this for so many years, and she is easily provoked by others."
"Others?" Lingchan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Is there anyone else who is plotting rebellion? How audacious!"
"I have known since I was a child that people's hearts are unpredictable, and feelings are not worth mentioning in terms of interests." Emperor Qianhua answered the question incorrectly. He looked at Lingchan and emphasized again: "Emotions are useless, he will only become the emperor's Obstacle."
"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly say these things?" Lingchan frowned and complained delicately.
The cold wind was howling, and the world was deserted. The Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged artificial flowers and leaves in the palace, giving it a false and lush look.
Emperor Qianhua said slowly: "But you can be my exception."
Lingchan was stunned, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened in confusion.
Emperor Qian Hua caressed her warm little face, and the plump flesh made him feel weak. "...If you have done something wrong, confess it to me now, and I will not blame you."
"You are still my concubine."
Emperor Qianhua's hand was as cold as a piece of ice that had never melted for thousands of years, making Chan shiver from the cold. She smiled pitifully, "Why do you doubt me, Your Majesty? I just want to fulfill my original wish and have no other thoughts."
Emperor Qianhua was silent.
His dark eyes were heavy, and under the calm ice, complex emotions were surging, impacting his reason.
Emperor Qianhua had seen too many people. He had seen all kinds of beauties, and he could distinguish these beauties at a glance. Some beauties want fame, some beauties want power, and some beauties want love.
The concubine Shu wants the name, the queen wants the power, this kind of life lasts a long time.
The beauty you want to love dies quickly.
As for Lingchan, this little girl is more greedy. She wants fame, power, and love.
But he was willing to pamper his noble concubine.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Qianhua said something else, "There are three garrison troops in the capital, east and west. The east army is going to stop the queen, and the west army is guarding the city. Where do you think the central army is?"
"Protect Your Majesty here."
Lingchan replied, she took a step forward, hugged Emperor Qianhua, and said coquettishly: "The wind is strong here, Your Majesty, let's go back to the room."
Back in the room, silver charcoal was burning in the charcoal basin, and it was warm as if spring had arrived.
Ling Chan shrank into Emperor Qianhua's arms. Emperor Qianhua followed his kindness and took her into his arms.
Lingchan's arms were wrapped around Emperor Qianhua's neck, and Emperor Qianhua's hands were warm against the back of her neck.
Be on guard against each other and openly hand over your weaknesses.
Lingchan whispered: "I don't want to be your enemy."
"Um."
"I like your Majesty very much."
"Um."
"I framed His Highness the Crown Prince. I forged evidence and framed him; it was me who instigated the Queen. The people in the Zichen Palace just wanted to divide your troops."
"The Chinese army... is all elite, but the leader is timid and does not dare to advance. If His Majesty had not commanded him, he would have lost this battle because of his own hesitation."
"My brother is taking over the city defense outside the city. His Royal Highness Prince An is here with his people. He will not lose."
"……Um."
The big hand behind Lingchan's neck was getting hotter and hotter. Qianhua Emperor's fingertips were weakly pressed against Lingchan's artery, but then they slid away feebly, as if they had no strength.
"The carbon in this room has a hidden scent. It won't work if used alone, but if you take another drug, it will become the most terrifying drug."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the cup of tea that Concubine Shu gave you yesterday?"
"Um."
Lingchan rested her head on the emperor's chest and listened to the heartbeat inside change from steady to rapid to slow.
"Your Majesty...do you have anything you want to ask me?"
"The Great Yong Dynasty is my hard work. Are you ready to become a country here?" Emperor Qianhua asked slowly. Every word he spoke was labored but clear.
"...I can't just say it with words. I will prove myself with practical actions."
Lingchan smiled with her eyes bent, proud and sweet, like a little bear that stole a bee, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me why I wanted to rebel? Everyone asked me this question, and they all thought you were bullying me!" "
"I don't." The emperor laughed softly, and a dull vibration came from his chest, "I almost lifted you to the sky."
"There is no need for a reason for rebellion. Everyone is yearning for higher power, especially a greedy little girl like you."
This sentence was too long. Emperor Qian Hua seemed to have lost his strength and placed his chin on Ling Chan's head.
He thinks you just have a face that is stunning to the world, but you are no different from anyone else.
But little does he know that as long as some beauties stand there, even if they don't want anything, they will be willing to give up everything they have, just like a dog, just begging her to lower their eyes.
Lingchan's eyes darkened.
Emperor Qianhua's chest was pressed against him, and the black material of his clothes blocked all light.
"You're right, I'm very greedy." Lingchan said softly: "I want everything except charity from others. I don't want something that can be given out easily and taken back easily."
"What I want, I have to get it myself."
She doesn't care about what others give her.
The emperor seemed to smile, but he didn't.
He touched Lingchan's cheeks cherishingly, lowered his head, and kissed Lingchan on the lips.
Emperor Qian Hua's lips were also hot.
The sound of weapons clashing outside the door gradually became louder. The two armies were fighting, and there were loud shouts of killing.
The red candle shines brightly inside the door, the nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and the girl's red lips are soft, as sweet as poison that seals the throat upon seeing blood.
Neither of them closed their eyes.
They looked at each other, looking at themselves and the candlelight reflected in each other's eyes.
The love and hatred in Emperor Qianhua's eyes echoed sadly, like swords intersecting.
It’s a big dream, I don’t want to wake up.
…
Emperor Qianhua finally closed his eyes and tilted his head, hitting Lingchan on the shoulder. The hand slipped from Lingchan's face and released a piece of air.
Lingchan hugged him and remained silent.
The empty palace is so wide that it seems to be able to accommodate the heaven and the earth. Lingchan is sitting here holding Emperor Qianhua in his arms, as small as two whirling dust particles.
Hopefully this little world will be completed in the next two days~
