Afraid of disturbing the children, Xiao Langyan and Shen Dingzhu went to the side hall next to each other.
At this time, the green bamboo was projected outside the window, accompanied by the bright moon. The two of them were sitting opposite each other under the carved window. Xiao Langyan seemed to be in a good mood and asked Xu Shou to serve drinks.
He poured Shen Dingzhu a glass of water. She was pregnant, so he naturally stopped her from drinking.
"I should have waited until the dust settled before telling you about this matter, but knowing that you have waited too long, I simply told you in advance."
There was a faint smile in Xiao Langyan's cold eyes, and there was also a hint of warmth in the warm yellow candlelight.
"We have plans to clear your father's grievances."
A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Dingzhu's porcelain-white skin, and her beautiful eyes shone with dark waves, making her charming: "Seriously?"
She was really excited. What she had been waiting for so long finally had a result.
Xiao Langyan no longer concealed anything, held her hand, and told Shen Dingzhu exactly how he found the half of the tiger talisman and how he planned to use it.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes seemed to be gradually immersed in the light. They were dark but not bright. Instead, they seemed to be covered with a light veil, and did not reveal any extremely surprised emotions.
Xiao Langyan rubbed her fingertips with his big palm and said with a smile: "No matter where she escapes, whether she lives or dies, it doesn't matter. What matters now is this tiger talisman. I can use it to help you Shen." Let’s clear our grievances as a clan.”
The knot that has been bothering Shen Dingzhu can finally be solved.
Xiao Langyan picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, smiling all the time in his dark eyes.
Shen Dingzhu came back to her senses and smiled absently: "Your Majesty, is it because Fu Yunqiu has the tiger talisman that this crime can be pinned on the Fu family?"
She asked a little cautiously, as if she was worried about something.
Xiao Langyan knew that she didn't feel safe.
So, explain more patiently.
"I just need a name to tell the ministers and the people of the world that the Shen family was wronged back then. If we hadn't found the half of the tiger talisman now, I and you would have had to wait for the opportunity."
Shen Dingzhu's heart was beating loudly.
She thought about the secret order in her hand, which was indeed given to her by her father.
Before Emperor Jianwu died, he knew that his son, the late emperor, was an ambitious man, so he passed Xiang Shen, who was worthy of his entrustment, to his bedside and handed him the secret order that could command the Xuanjia Army.
Prime Minister Shen accepted the order at the critical moment, knelt in front of Emperor Jianwu, and promised to keep the secret order until it was handed over to Emperor Ming.
The late emperor forced Prime Minister Shen to a desperate situation for this secret order, but even though the entire clan was sent to Mobei and the women were made slaves, Prime Minister Shen gritted his teeth and refused to tell the truth.
Except for Shen Dingzhu, no one else even knew about the existence of the secret order. The late emperor suspected that Prime Minister Shen had taken the secret order, but suffered from the lack of evidence. It was not until Xiao Langyan poisoned the late emperor and ascended the throne that the matter was covered up hastily.
But……
Shen Dingzhu was suddenly afraid.
She originally planned to hand over the secret order to Xiao Langyan tonight, but when she took it out now, how should she explain to Xiao Langyan why she had refused to hand over the secret order before? How will the courtiers speculate after knowing this?
And after Xiao Langyan knows the truth, will she suspect that her father has something else to hide?
An emperor is the most thoughtful, especially a personality like Xiao Langyan.
When Shen Dingzhu thought about her past life, he asked her three times whether she knew about the Xuanjia Army. He thought that Xiao Langyan had also tried it in this life.
Shen Dingzhu was not afraid that Xiao Langyan would hurt her, but she was afraid that handing over the secret order at this moment would inevitably cause an uproar in the court, and whether her father's clarification of his grievances would be affected again.
"What's wrong? You don't look happy. What are you thinking about?" Xiao Langyan's deep concern brought Shen Dingzhu's thoughts back to reality.
She came back to her senses, her pink face showed a sincere smile, her watery eyes gradually became shiny, and she looked as red as if she was about to cry.
"I am happy, thank you, Your Majesty..." Her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, "I will repay you well."
She had already decided to give the secret order to Xiao Langyan, but not now.
Instead, he had to wait until the day when Father Shen was completely vindicated and everything settled, and then hand over the secret order to him with his own hands.
After hearing her words, Xiao Langyan smiled and grabbed her wrist, pulled her to sit in his arms, and hugged Shen Dingzhu from behind.
"Aren't you already repaying the favor, huh?" His voice was magnetic, with a different kind of gentleness, and fell on Shen Dingzhu's ears, making her feel at ease for no reason.
Xiao Langyan's big palm gently covered her abdomen, and he seemed to sigh softly: "You gave birth to children for me and endured hardships. A few days ago, you paid homage to the ancestors, and you followed me around, and you were very haggard. Wait for me After I’ve been busy for a while, I’ll stay with you.”
He also calculated the approximate time. By then, Shen Dingzhu would probably give birth.
He was not around when she gave birth to her daughter Chengcheng. Doctor Cen later checked her pulse and said that Shen Dingzhu's Qi and blood were deficient because he had not recovered well after giving birth.
Xiao Langyan once thought in his heart that he would personally take care of her this time.
Shen Dingzhu leaned in his arms, crying.
Xiao Langyan lowered his eyes and saw it, and wiped her tears with his big palm, but he couldn't wipe them away.
There was still a smile on his thin lips, but his voice was already a bit cold and worried: "Why are you crying? It's the good news I gave you, isn't it good enough?"
Shen Dingzhu shook his head quickly. Without any makeup, she looked so charming and charming at the moment. In Xiao Langyan's arms, she raised her lovely tearful eyes, which were dark and shiny.
Xiao Langyan was startled.
She rarely looked at him like this, rarely looked at him with all her heart and soul.
After Shen Dingzhu followed him, she was always full of false pretenses. Xiao Langyan also knew that the reason why she did this was because she only cared about the goal she was obsessed with: redressing the grievances of the Shen family.
So she can make any choice against her will, she just needs him, but she doesn't love him.
And Xiao Langyan just wanted her to be herself.
"Your Majesty, I just said that I have something to tell you." She licked her dry red lips. She had dark eyebrows, a pretty fair face, and a pair of black eyes that sparkled.
Xiao Langyan waited patiently for the next step.
Shen Dingzhu said: "I have done many things to make the emperor angry in the past, because my heart is occupied by my family. My parents gave me life, my brothers and clan gave me care, and even the Shen family This title made me live a carefree life for the first fourteen years of my life."
As she spoke, she choked and the tip of her nose turned pink: "So, I can't ignore them when they are wronged and aggrieved. But I am very stupid and it took me a long time to learn how to fight for opportunities for them. Fortunately, along the way, the emperor never disliked me. concubine."
"However, what the emperor did for me was actually seen by me. A long time ago, the emperor asked me if you would choose you if you didn't know how to be the emperor. I didn't answer at that time. It's because I'm worried and scared, and I don't have a real answer in my heart, but now I can finally say it."
Shen Dingzhu gently hugged Xiao Langyan's neck with both arms. Their faces were very close, and their breaths fell into each other's hearts like a spring breeze.
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were dark and deep, swaying with hot waves. The big palm on her waist tightened little by little, and her throat rolled up and down, indicating his turbulent mood at the moment.
Until Shen Dingzhu's red lips said: "I will still choose the emperor. It will be like this several times over. When my father's incident is over, I will only care about the emperor and the emperor." our children."
Suddenly, it was like thousands of trees bursting with brilliant flowers, falling on Xiao Langyan's brows and heart.
"You should have said it a long time ago. I almost went crazy for you just to hear your open-hearted words."
With his hoarse voice, he restrained the heat waves surging in his body. Looking into Shen Dingzhu's eyes, Xiao Langyan's eyes were shining brightly like burning black jade.
Shen Dingzhu's delicate cheeks were dyed with beautiful red clouds, which made her hibiscus face even more stunning.
As the saying goes, an emotional woman is the most beautiful, and now she is like a flower filled with love. She is finally willing to open a shy bud and sway with a very beautiful posture, so that those who water her can see the red and tender flowers inside. Ruixin.
That's her heart too.
She had never given it to Xiao Langyan in her previous life, but now, she was willing to try to give it to him.
I just hope, hope... that he won't let this heart down.
At some point, the two of them fell on the couch kissing each other, their black hair intertwined, their fingers clasped tightly, and Shen Dingzhu's voice had a soft hum.
Under the pleasure of Xiao Langyan's fingertips, she could always reveal her original charming side.
When she was so mesmerized by his kiss, she heard Xiao Langyan calling her name in a hoarse voice in her ear, and asked: "Now, do you love me or not?"
Shen Dingzhu seemed to be floating in the clouds, and was suddenly pulled back to the gorgeous and warm palace by a thread.
She blinked her misty beautiful eyes and looked at him for a long time, trying to distinguish the emotions in her heart. When she was about to answer, Xiao Langyan leaned on her and kissed her on the lips.
"That's all," Xiao Langyan said vaguely, "I don't need to ask."
Even if she lied to him about her love, Xiao Langyan would be satisfied, so there was no need to ask.
Everything he gave her was given willingly, and he was afraid of tiring her if he cared about her true feelings.
However, the next day, Shen Dingzhu felt uncomfortable.
