It was a sunny day, and the melodious sound of a zither could be heard from a corner of the palace. The sound of the zither traveled over the bricks and tiles inside. The magnificent palace was like a candied fruit wrapped in honey. The locust flowers gradually turned yellow. The beautiful music was mixed with the fragrance of the locust flowers.

The small hall was filled with ice cubes given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and beside it were three palace maids. A few wisps of white smoke rose up from the bronze censer made of cranes, dissipating within the hall in the blink of an eye, causing the air to smell slightly fragrant.

"When you play the zither, you must be calm and upright. No matter what tune you play, you must maintain a pure heart."

Li Ting spoke very seriously. When he heard her words, he seemed to understand a little, so he blinked and asked, "Pure heart?"

Ting touched his warm hair, which was so soft it touched his heart. Yes, this was her child, with the same eyes and the same mouth, and most importantly, with the same temperament. The worst thing was that her nose looked like Bai Yunfan.

"That's right. A pure heart, because the heart and intent are interlinked, just like warm love for the mother. Teacher is just like warm love for the mother."

Her warm little hand strummed the strings of the zither. With a few jingling sounds, she was like the hottest raindrops in the summer, landing on the lotus leaves with a bang. The most beautiful is the green lotus red Han Chai, which coincides with the human world's August day.

Chen Shu's thoughts drifted far, far away from Ting.

The most famous one was the indistinguishable young girl, Li Ting. Some people called him Miss Li, while others called him Young Master Ting. In short, there were many people who wanted to be part of the audience, but only a few succeeded.

Chen Shu was one!

Every year, there would be a selection of the most beautiful women in the city, so naturally, there would be a generous reward for this top beauty. Firstly, she would be able to make a name for herself, and secondly, she might even be able to get the green eye of some rich and powerful young master.

Chen Shu lived in a small garden no more than three blocks away from the selection site. After conversing with Emerald for a long time, she did not agree, saying that a lady from a noble family would never do something so improper.

Chen Shu sat in the autumn stand in a daze, holding her feet as the sun blazed into the afternoon and scattered across the garden.

Suddenly, a shadow fell into the garden. He was wearing black clothes and black hair. Even with a mask on his face, it was difficult to conceal his heroic aura.

Chen Shu asked, "Who is it?" What are you doing here? "

At that time, Li Ting had been hunted down, his abdomen had been struck by a sword, and his clothes had been dyed black with blood. He was so weak that he couldn't even say a word.

Then with a plop, he fell to the ground and fainted!

Not charming, not romantic, to put it bluntly, Chen Shuyu Li is a saving grace.

If it was a normal person, he would have drawn what the book described. It was another couple, but it was a pity that the heavens could not make the people's wish come true. After all, who was spared by the heavens?

The sun rose higher and higher, and its power grew greater and greater. The flowers, grass, and leaves all withered, and even the sound of knowing became quieter.

Chen Shu scooped two spoonfuls of tea out of the jade barrel with a mahogany spoon and boiled it with hot water for a few rounds. Soon, the bright and fresh hot tea was ready.

Li Ting was slightly puzzled. Why did he think of drinking hot tea on such a hot day? "I don't think tea is suitable for this kind of weather."

Chen Shu slightly smiled and said, "Last night, I stepped on a quilt that was warm, but cold. The latter half of the night was a bit cold, and now, this autumn tiger is a bit fierce. A child definitely won't be able to bear it."

Li Ting felt a bit bitter. Before, she was not that gentle and meticulous. Now, she was even more careful and meticulous. She was like a bird without its freedom. Looking at her safety, everything was fine. However, she was actually not happy inside.

"I caught a cold yesterday as well!"

Chen Shu smiled. "Then you should drink some hot tea with me since there's a lot of tea."

Jadeite directed the eunuch serving in the hall to change the ice, and also ordered the maidservant to prepare some hot black plum soup. After doing this, he quietly stood in a corner of the hall and tried to reduce the feeling of existence.

Zhang Zhang Zhang followed Bai Yunfan. Before he even got close to the side hall where Professor Ting was practicing his zither arts, he already felt a wave of cold air blowing over his face. This millet heron palace was probably the most comfortable place in the harem.

"A warm sleeping quarters is still the best. Look at this warm winter and summer, it really makes younger brother Chen envious!"

Bai Yunfan hit Zhang Zhang Zhang with his fist and said, "Previously, I said for the Ministry of Industry to build a mansion for you, but it's not that big of a deal. But now, you're blaming me. It's useless!"

Zhang Zhang Zhang grinned and replied, "At that time, it was just to save some money. Besides, since the heavens sent us here, we will have to put up with it first..."

Bai Yunfan squinted his eyes, looking at Chen Shu baring his two little canines and smiling happily at Li Ting. He was smiling so happily at others.

Bai Yunfan gave a look to Fu, but the latter didn't understand what he meant.

"Louder, do you understand?"

Ah Fu bent his back as he smiled in a flattering manner.

Just as Ting Mei was drinking the tea that Chen Shu had brewed, a loud "His Majesty has arrived!" was heard. Li Ting spat out the tea in a shaky voice.

Bai Yunfan had a happy smile on his face, but it was obvious that he was vexed. He even ignored the fact that Chen Shu did not pay his respects to him. Perhaps in his heart, he felt that Chen Shu did not need or need to perform these false courtesies.

Bai Yunfan sat down next to Chen Shu and lightly said, "Brother Li likes to see me so much that you spilled tea on the table?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, this commoner was naturally secretly delighted to see the Emperor's appearance today, which was why I'm being rude."

When Wen Wen saw Bai Yunfan approaching, she immediately threw herself into his embrace and said, "Imperial Father, Master is the same as Wen Wen, he likes mother!"

Bai Yunfan used his blade to kill his way to Li Ting's place and asked, "Is that so? Like warm mothers? "

"Your majesty has said this, it's really a death sentence for this humble commoner. This humble commoner is naturally like Princess Wen Wen Wen and likes to admire his own mother."

Bai Yunfan deliberately picked up Qiao and said, "Is that so? Since Brother Li has never married, it's not like he's ashamed of his parents. "

Li Ting had been defeated by Bai Yunfan. What he said was not the truth, so he could only swallow his anger.

Chen Shu sat at the side, not even bothering to take the initiative to glance at Bai Yunfan. After about half an hour, he said, "It's time to take an afternoon nap, I'll be bringing the princess down."

Chen Shu brought Jadeite along as he walked past Zhang Zhang Zhang, and as expected, the Jadeite turned red again. Chen Shu rolled his eyes and said to Zhang Zhang Zhang, "I've heard that Master Zhang is very knowledgeable. A few days ago, my servant asked me a question. I'm not sure if it's convenient for me to answer this question."

Is it convenient? Of course it's inconvenient, sister. However, the words that came to Zhang Zhang Zhang's mouth said, "Empress, if you have any questions, you should ask them now. After all, this subject is a man!"

Chen Shu glanced at the sun outside the door and asked, "When did I ever say that you were a woman?" She took a few steps forward, turned her head towards the jade and said, "Go and ask Great Master Zhang, you can talk conveniently."

Jadeite's face suddenly turned bright red. He gritted his teeth and said, "This servant understands!"

Chen Shuxin was overjoyed at the turn of events as she walked far away with Wen Yin in her arms. Jadeite turned to Zhang Zhang Zhang and asked, "Sir, is it convenient for you to talk here?"

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment and immediately replied, "The young lady has the final say!"

Jadeite smiled and extended an invitation, "Sir, please follow me."

Zhang Tie felt a bit embarrassed, but the other party seemed to be even more embarrassed. "What does Miss Emerald want to ask?"

Jadeite was slightly surprised for a moment before saying: "Does sir know why people only spank the court and not other places?"

Zhang Zhang Zhang laughed out loud and replied, "Because the number of acupuncture points on your buttocks is much less than your back. Even if you hit it harder, your life will not be in danger. If your back is too heavy, your life will be in danger..."

… ….

Jadeite and Zhang Ye were having an awkward chat, but Bai Yunfan's side was becoming very interesting!

"It looks like the emperor's charm has declined. This commoner looks at that Empress just now and doesn't seem to be very friendly to the emperor."

On the surface, Bai Yunfan looked calm and collected, but he was actually ridiculing him in his heart. "A purebred and common powder naturally cannot compare to a proud and upright little chili."

Li Ting really wanted to throw the tea in his hand at Bai Yunfan's face. Coincidentally, Bai Yunfan also had the same idea.

… ….

A small yellow bird fell from the Blue Cloud Palace, its round little eyes were very clever. Hua Xi lightly whistled, and the bird obediently landed on the palm of Hua Xi's hand.

Hua Xi lightly fiddled with the paper twice and found a letter on the little yellow bird's stomach. The letter was only the size of a fingernail.

"Empress, look at the superstitions outside the palace."

Consort De looked up and saw that her face was full of nervousness. She said indifferently, "When did this letter come? Open it for me to see."

"He didn't come for long. Judging from the appearance of the bird, it should have only been here for a quarter of an hour …" Just relax, Empress. "

Consort De carefully looked at the superstition that came from the former crown prince. At first, there was some surprise on her face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hua Xi nervously asked, "Empress, is it that person outside the palace who has matters to attend to?"

Consort De's words changed the subject, "It's a good thing, it's a good thing! "I'm not feeling well today, so don't let anyone disturb me. I need to rest early today."

Hua Xi nodded her head in agreement. She bowed and was about to leave when Consort De suddenly called out to her, "Tonight, turn out the lights!"

The moon was full, and only the nights were cooler. The weather in Peace City was different from anywhere else, as it was still hot in mid-August.

In the southwest corner of the Blue Cloud Palace, there were two abandoned courtyards. The Forbidden Palace was dozens of steps away. It had always been quiet here, but today was a little different.

The rest of the place was quiet, except for a small glimmer of light in the courtyard.

There was a squeak from the papered window, and then a shadow passed.

The man clasped his fists and asked, "Empress, has the matter been properly arranged?"

The woman took off her hat, revealing a bright and beautiful face. "Since she's here, it's up to you whether you can do it or not."

Some old wooden doors creaked again, and moonlight shone through the broken window into the room. The man was wearing black clothes and had ink hair. His callused hands gently lifted a strand of hair.

It was the voice of a woman. Even if she said that it was extremely charming, it wouldn't be excessive even if one were to say that it was coquettish. The inadvertent sound of coquettish breathing mixed with slightly heavy panting could be heard.

The bed creaked and swayed, and a candle flame on a nearby pillar seemed like it was about to be extinguished.

Hua Xi was in a daze, and her intuition told her that there was a great deal of pain, causing her to break out in a cold sweat …

Hua Xi wanted to grab hold of the man's neck with her nails, but she could not find any strength in her arms. She helplessly asked: "Who are you?"

"Don't talk, be quiet!"

Following that, the man let out a few breaths that made her blush even more. Right now, Hua Xi even had the heart to die. She knew what the other party was doing, but this really couldn't be shamed.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the room. The man smiled and said, "Stop pretending, Consort De has left!"

Hua Xi's face was flushed red as she said, "Since that's the case, are you still not going to go down?"

Li Ting looked embarrassed and said, "I saved you, but you still don't want to thank me? You don't even let me take advantage of you? "

Hua Xi's face was embarrassed as she said, "We are all brothers, what's the advantage?"

Li Ting paused, then said, "What should we do now? Your maiden name has been destroyed by me."

Hua Xi sneered and said, "Can you still be responsible for me?"

Ting's beautiful mouth opened and closed, then said: "It's not possible … …" But what do you say to Consort De now? "

Hua Xi's expression was dejected as she said, "I'm just borrowing a baby. Anyways, you have a problem, I don't have a problem with that."

Li Ting was startled and asked: "I have a question?"

Hua Xi laughed and said, "Now that we are husband and wife, must I be pregnant? If that is the case, will there still be only one little princess in the imperial harem, Wen Wen? "

Li Ting smiled faintly, a hint of a slut appearing on his face. "So the rumors were true. That aspect of the emperor is not good enough?"

For a moment, Li Ting was too careless to hear anything from outside while talking to Hua Xi.

Jingxiang followed quietly. As she watched Consort De lead Hua Xi into the forbidden palace, she felt as if she had been possessed. She knew that she shouldn't have followed them, but if she hadn't …

The tangled strips of cloth on the pillars of the palace fluttered wildly. The bright yellow had turned white, making it seem very frightening in the moonlight.

Jingxiang quietly went back to her room and passed a message to Consort Xian with a shake of her hand. She then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes for a while before she heard the sound of Hua Xi coming back.

Consort Xian picked up a small brush and dipped it in some fine salt, carefully brushing her teeth. Then, the servant girl took off her hair and took off the hairpins that had accumulated in her hair.

"Empress, this servant will help you rest?"

Consort Xian waved her hand at the servant girl and said, "My heart is not at peace. You don't have to wait on me."

The servant girl humbly answered as she watched her mistress walk towards the main hall …

One after another, the wooden fish under his hands started burning. Inside the hall, three Rakshasi were praying. He blandly said, "Jingxiang can't hold on any longer, deal with it."

The shadow outside the hall flashed, and a gust of wind passed and disappeared.

Jingxiang had washed her face and rested early. It just so happened that she wasn't supposed to be on night duty today, and she hadn't slept soundly last night …

Just as Jingxiang closed her eyes, suddenly, a piece of cloth wrapped around the woman's neck and tightly pulled. She was worried that Jingxiang would cry out, so she covered her nose and mouth with her large hands as she pulled on the cloth.

Jingxiang's face immediately turned red and her eyes bulged. Her hands clawed a few times in the air. However, this was all useless work. She didn't even struggle for a bit before her legs gradually weakened and her face turned purple.

Finally, his eyes turned white, and there was only air coming out of his nose, but no air coming in.

Afraid that she wasn't completely dead, the man continued to strangle her for a long time. The cloth around her neck was raw, and the man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then he released the cloth to wipe the sweat off his forehead. The silver ring on his finger shone coldly in the moonlight.

[Next, the corpse should be thrown...] En! Heavy taste! Hahaha!]
