C63

On this day, Long Xiaoyuan brought Xu You back to the palace.

The entire imperial palace was stunned.

Especially the concubines of Long Xiaoyuan's harem, their expressions almost all changed.

Especially Imperial Consort Shan. She originally wanted to borrow a child to get closer to the Emperor.

Now, it seemed to have some effect. Yet, another youth had appeared at this time?

[There is one Queen Shi Qingzhou who is not enough, what other young man is there?]

Imperial Consort Shan's face contorted in anger. After throwing two sets of tea sets into her bedchamber, the eunuchs below were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak. They all lowered their heads, trying to hide their presence …

On the other side, in Soft Imperial Consort's palace, this phenomenon … However, there was an indescribable strangeness to it.

This Soft Imperial Consort from the Revolving Sun Palace, wasn't she also rather high-profile when she was favored?

However, from the moment palace maid's body was found in the well, Soft Imperial Consort was terrified. She had been sick for more than half a month, and her words about the matter were vague.

After that, for some reason, Soft Imperial Consort kept a low profile.

No, to be exact, it was very low-key. Perhaps it was because they no longer had the favor of the emperor, or perhaps it was because of some other reason, but after that fight, the other party had even left their palace in a loud voice!

Long Xiaoyuan didn't care about how his concubine would react to the harem.

To him, Xu You was just his little brother. Furthermore, he was from the same village.

With his identity as a country bumpkin, he would feel that he was not alone in this time and space. He was not the only one who was out in this world.

There were some things that he couldn't say even to his lover because he was afraid it would affect their relationship.

However, to his hometown, he could say so.

In fact, Long Xiaoyuan also asked Xu You very subtly, asking him if he knew this was actually a novel … However, the other side didn't know anything at all.

Xu You thought that he had just transmigrated into a parallel space and time that was strange to him and did not belong to the ancient era. That was it.

Since Xu You didn't know, Long Xiaoyuan didn't say anything.

No one wanted to say that the world they lived in was just a small story, right?

If so, it would be more or less unacceptable, right?

Therefore, since Xu You didn't know, Long Xiaoyuan didn't say anything.

Most importantly, perhaps his own understanding was wrong, because in the so-called 'The Queen's Path', Xu You did not exist.

Anyway, there was no such person in that novel!

In addition, the current plot had long since changed to an unknown extent.

In the plot, his original body was already dead!

The real Long Xiaoyuan has already burped, okay? However, he was still alive …

Therefore, the plot had already been ruined to the point where there was no need to pursue Xu You anymore …

Long Xiaoyuan and Xu You had dinner together and then arranged for her to stay in Yuchang Hall.

The Yuchang Hall was not very far from the Heaven and Earth Palace, and could be considered a rather independent palace there. However, it was different from the inner halls like the one his concubine had.

Those who lived in the Yuchang Hall were usually princes or the like from other nations …

However, Xu You obviously didn't have that kind of identity. Everyone knew that he didn't have that sort of status.

If any country's prince lived there, the emperor should give an edict to the officials.

Thus, although she didn't have that sort of status, she lived there … This was more intriguing.

It was also because of this that many concubines in the imperial harem were so restless.

If he only brought back a male pet, then he didn't have the qualifications to enter that place.

However, the Emperor had placed him there. Was he trying to give him a more noble status in the future?

It was also because of this conjecture that the women of the imperial harem were somewhat afraid.

The Emperor has already pampered the empress, and now this person is a man again. Could it be that the Emperor only likes men now? What about them women?

Everyone was worried about themselves.

Long Xiaoyuan actually didn't think too much about it. He had placed them there … It's purely because Xu You is a man, isn't it inappropriate to place it in my harem?

Although he wasn't interested in those concubines, if Xu You was close to those women, uh … It would be awkward too, right?

Anyway, he didn't expect that his actions would cause others to think so much.

Thus, Xu You stayed in the palace.

This was because the Heaven Concealment Castle was considered to be one of the more secretive and powerful forces in the martial arts world. Naturally, there were also many experts inside.

Long Xiaoyuan was worried that those people might sneak into the palace!

It was best not to be afraid. Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan had arranged three Wu Steelers beside him. One of them was Ying Qiu.

This was because Ying Qiu's martial arts skills were considered to be very outstanding amongst the group of Wu Steelers. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to become deputy chieftain of Wu Steelwork.

Thus, four days later, Shi Qingzhou received a message from a pigeon.

When Shi Qingzhou read the contents above, his expression slightly changed and he broke a teacup on the spot. Moreover, the teacup had been crushed into powder.

At that time, Shi Qingzhou was with Shi Qingshan.

Shi Qingshan was surprised by his son's strong emotional changes.

In that instant, the aura that was being emitted from his body, was that of anger? A bloodthirsty killing intent? Or … Disappointment?

In short, his emotions were a bit complicated.

Shi Qingshan looked at his son. He paused for a moment and then asked, "What happened?"

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips and said lightly, "Father, it's fine."

Shi Qingshan didn't believe that his son was fine like this!

"Qingzhou, what do you have that you can't tell your father? I'm your father. "

Shi Qingzhou went silent after hearing that.

Shi Qingshan looked fixedly at his son and slowly said, "That pigeon messenger …" From the Imperial City? "

Shi Qingshan was talking about the Imperial City, not the palace.

However, besides the Son of Heaven in the palace, who else could affect Shi Qingzhou?

After Shi Qingshan's words, Shi Qingzhou let out a long sigh and nodded. "Hmm …" It's from the Imperial Palace. "

It really was the one from the palace … Shi Qingshan's expression tensed up slightly. What happened? "

Shi Qingzhou lowered his head slowly. A young master lived in the Yuchang Hall, and he was personally brought back by the Emperor. "

Shi Qingshan was slightly surprised when he heard that. Young Master? "

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Yes, young master."

Shi Qingshan was slightly surprised and muttered: "Why is it Young Noble? Your Majesty is now … "For Men..."

At this point, Shi Qingshan stopped.

His own son was a man. It was just that Shi Qingzhou would have become a queen in the past, and he would have had a lot of political connections.

Besides, the Emperor probably doesn't like men... How could this be …

Shi Qingzhou said lightly, "I don't know."

Shi Qingshan looked at his son's cold and suppressed expression and could not help but say: "Qingzhou, you have already become the empress, back then... I shouldn't have come out. "

Shi Qingshan's words made Shi Qingzhou clench his fists slightly.

After a long while, Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath. Father, I understand. Since things have come to this, I will continue to move forward. "

Shi Qingshan paused before continuing, "The Yuchang Hall's situation is quite unique … "If the emperor only accepted a male pet, then it would be impossible for him to be placed in the Yuchang Hall. It looks like the emperor cared a lot about that person, that's why he arranged for that person to be in that place. He wanted to raise his rank in the future …"

Shi Qingzhou's expression was cold, but his eyes darkened a little. I don't know the details yet. "

Shi Qingshan looked at his son and could not help but ask gently, "Qingzhou, to your majesty … You're interested, aren't you? "

Shi Qingzhou was slightly shocked. He didn't know how to deny it, nor did he know how to reply.

Shi Qingshan knew his son very well, how could he not understand from the looks of it.

Shi Qingshan smiled wryly in his heart, then his expression turned serious.

"Qingzhou, father told you before when you entered the palace, what it means to be the empress, the emperor cannot be the only one to spoil someone, you have to understand this in your heart, as the empress, you can't be jealous like the empress, and you can't hurt others because of the emperor's favor, this is not my Shi Family's style, do you understand?"

Shi Qingzhou paused for a moment and then raised his head to look at Shi Qingshan.

Shi Qingshan's gaze was stern.

After a long while, Shi Qingzhou nodded. Father, your son understands. "

Shi Qingshan let out a sigh of relief. After a long time, he did not know what to say, so he patted Shi Qingzhou on the shoulder. Alright, Father knows that you are suffering, but … This is fate. Moreover, for the Emperor to be able to dote on you so much, his heart must have been filled with you … If you want to continue to stay here, father will not stop you. If you bring back a good report, the Emperor will value you even more. "

Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything.

Shi Qingshan sighed and walked out of the tent without saying anything else.

After Shi Qingshan left, Shi Qingzhou's expression immediately became gloomy.

In addition to being gloomy, there was also a trace of blankness …

Long Xiaoyuan, the couple you promised for your entire life seems to only be together yesterday.

Is this what you call love?

Could the heart of an emperor really not be trusted?

Shi Qingzhou slowly closed his eyes... His heart was torn apart.

And now, in the distant imperial palace, Long Xiaoyuan didn't know that his family's Queen already thought he had moved on.

Now he was lost in thought as he looked at the memorial in his hand.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the imperial report, but that … He was thinking about Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou had been gone for over a month.

In the past month, aside from receiving the good news from the other side, they had not contacted each other.

Shi Qingzhou didn't send anything back.

And he also didn't emit anything …

Suddenly, Long Xiaoyuan thought, "Are they..." Was it a cold war?

That seems to be the case …

Ever since Shi Qingzhou had set out on the battlefield, ever since he had promised to send out the opposing team... However, there was something strange between the two of them.

On the day of his departure, he did not send her off. Instead, he waited for the people to leave so that they could not see him off before sending her off …

At that time, standing on top of the empty city wall, looking at the tail of the troops, what kind of mood did she have?

It seemed like … A little sour, a little complicated...

After a long while, Long Xiaoyuan sighed softly. "Since I can't see through it, then I won't …"

At this time, a report came in saying that Young Master Xu had arrived.

Naturally, this Young Master Xu was Xu You.

Long Xiaoyuan was a little depressed, so he invited Xu You in.

And today, Xu You was feeling a little depressed as well. The longer he was away from Fang Shuoyang, the less composed he became …

Two depressed people...

Xu You said, "Brother, let's go out and have a look."

"Yes." Long Xiaoyuan nodded and looked outside. It was already afternoon, so he couldn't leave the palace. He could only take a walk around the palace … Go to the royal garden? "

Xu You nodded. It doesn't matter where it is. "

The two brothers chatted as they walked to the imperial garden. They found a pavilion and sat down.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was something that was very intimate between the two of them … A walk!

After reaching the pavilion, Xu You said, "Brother, I want to drink."

Long Xiaoyuan paused for a moment. He himself also wanted to drink. Since that was the case, forget it.

Thus, Long Xiaoyuan immediately told the eunuchs below to bring the wine over.

The eunuch didn't dare to hesitate and immediately went to retrieve it …

Two jars of fine royal wine were sent over, Xu You took a sip. Tsk tsk, this tastes really good. "

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "Yes, it's true. You'll get drunk if you drink too much."

"Drunk …" Xu You looked at the hopelessness in front of him and whispered, "It's been a long time since I've been drunk. I can't even remember what it feels like to be drunk anymore … Brother, let's get drunk today. "

Long Xiaoyuan felt that he shouldn't be so 'willful'.

But... He really had the urge to get drunk.

Forget it, I've already decided to indulge myself today.

Thus, Long Xiaoyuan laughed. Great! "Then drink!"

After saying that, you actually started drinking one cup after another. In fact, you didn't even match any other dishes. You just started drinking!

Therefore, rumors like the emperor and Young Master Xu drinking in the imperial garden and chatting merrily soon began to spread throughout the palace …

The faces of all the concubines distorted once again …

Among them, Imperial Consort Shan was the most prominent. She almost ran towards the imperial garden, but she held herself back …
