Wuling came to Yongle Palace to report at this time.

As soon as he stopped outside the inner bedroom, he heard the queen's silver bell laughter. He had no idea whether to go in or not.

It happened that Mo Yu brought the stew pot that had just been boiled. Seeing Wuling standing outside the door in a daze, she couldn't help but chuckled: "Master Wuling, when did you learn to listen to the sound?"

Suddenly, Wuling turned his head and smiled at her: "It's Miss Mo Yu. Your Majesty and the Empress are talking inside, and there is something happening in Zhangde Palace..."

Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Mo Yan lowered his head and smiled: "You are waiting, I'm about to go in."

"It's hard work." Wuling nodded gratefully.

For some reason, every time I saw Wuling, Mo Qi felt his heartbeat faster.

"Your Majesty, Empress." Mo Yu walked in obediently and placed the stew pot on the lacquered wooden table next to the Queen. "I stewed some warm soup in the kitchen, which was just for Your Majesty and Empress to enjoy."

Liu Zhao nodded and said, "The queen is weak and should be suitable for supplements. I am very pleased that you serve the queen with all your heart."

"Your Majesty said this, it's really a terrible slave." Mo Li brought a bowl of soup and brought it over.

Yin Lingyue watched His Majesty scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth, and felt that her whole heart warmed up. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Yu looked back at the door, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, Wuling seems to have something to report outside."

"Yes." Liu Zhao nodded.

"No." Mo Yan turned around and went out and invited Wuling in.

"Your Majesty, Empress." Wuling bowed and said, "Assassin broke into Zhangde Palace just now, which scared Guiren Deng."

Wuling didn't mention the matter of bathing, but wanted to preserve the reputation of Concubine Deng.

After all, in the palace, being defiled innocence is the most unforgivable thing. Even if it is not defiled, the three of them become tigers. Once the rumors fly all over the sky, Concubine Deng will gain a foothold.

Liu Zhao's heart sank slightly, and the color on his face was no longer good. "The assassin could actually break into Zhangde Palace."

"Slave deserves to die." Wuling hurriedly knelt down: "But the assassin has been captured and is waiting for his Majesty to interrogate."

Yin Lingyue's face also became serious: "Wuleeng, is it important to Guiren Deng? Are you injured?"

"When the Empress said, Guiren Deng was just a little scared, and it was not serious." Wuling was still unwilling to mention the story.

"It's fine." Yin Lingyue covered her heart: "Your Majesty, hurry up and go back and take a look. Suddenly, when encountering such a thing, Guiren Deng must be frightened."

"Yes." Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Your body is important, just rest well. I will deal with the rest."

"No." Yin Lingyue was reluctant to leave, and her tone became gentle: "Your Majesty also needs to take care of the dragon body. I have not been able to share your worries. Please forgive me."

Liu Zhao stood up and wanted to leave. After hearing this, he turned around and held the queen's hand: "Ling Yue, there is no such disagreement between me and you. What I care most about every day is your body.

As long as you are safe and sound, I will naturally feel at ease. I will come to see you later when I have time."

This moved Yin Lingyue couldn't help but blush his eyes. "For your Majesty, I must take good care of myself."

"That's right." Liu Zhao pinched her hand hard: "I'll leave first."

"Greatly send your Majesty." Yin Lingyue lowered her head and looked at her hand that was let go by him, and her heart felt warm. When His Majesty and Wuling walked away, she frowned and told Mo Yu: "Call me quickly!

People go and find out what happened. OK, how dare someone go to Zhangde Palace to assassinate, and even pick someone who is not here, but Deng is there."

"No." Mo Yan responded hurriedly: "I will go now."

"Well, don't disturb people." Yin Lingyue became more and more worried. She always felt that there was a whirlpool behind her, and she wanted to wrap her and Deng Sui in at the same time, and then she gave up.

But who is this person?

How could he have such great ability and be so bold and reckless?

Looking at the soup in the bowl, Yin Lingyue had no appetite at all. Compared to letting Deng Sui die, she wanted to know more about who else could have such ability to threaten her position except Deng Sui.

When he returned to Zhangde Palace, Deng Sui's face was as if dead ashes, huddling in a corner of the soft couch in the inner room, hugging him motionlessly.

It's like a frightened little rabbit, so soft and so distressing.

"Sui'er, are you okay?" Liu Zhao lifted up his robe, climbed onto the soft couch, and hugged her in his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'm back."

Deng Sui drilled into his arms, felt the warmth, and stopped shaking.

"Your Majesty, I think I will never see you again." Deng Sui did not cry, and the matter of saying this was very calm. However, it was her extraordinary peace that made people feel even more distressed when they looked at it.

"No, isn't I here? Don't think about it. You will never let something happen to you." Liu Zhao held her cold fingertips and rubbed her palm hard. "Don't be afraid."

"Your Majesty, that man is wearing a human skin mask, that is the mask of King Qinghe." Deng Sui looked back and looked straight into Liu Zhao's eyes. "I did know each other with King Qinghe in Wei, but at that time,

It is just a gentleman who can enjoy tea and talk about it. Whether before or after entering the palace, I have never done anything to be sorry to Your Majesty. I can use the lives of the Deng clan to reveal it."

For some reason, Deng Sui always felt that this matter was like the emperor deliberately arranged to test her.

I felt inexplicably angry, but I was more afraid. I was really scared.

"I don't doubt it." At least not today. Liu Zhao felt a little guilty when he thought so. He worked a lot to investigate what happened before Liu Qing and Deng Sui.

"Your Majesty..." Deng Sui said word by word with tears in his eyes: "That words just now were said to you before. But I know that what you learned is not that simple. I have never entered the past.

During the palace excerpt, my grandfather intended to betroth my concubine to King Qinghe. It may be this reason that I met King Qinghe on my grandfather's birthday. In fact, I had been attracted by King Qinghe and was almost done.

Having a engagement with him. The tone of these things made outsiders think that your Majesty would explain them clearly, but I would rather explain them clearly in detail."

"I don't mean to ask about this." I actually wanted to know it, but it seemed that it was not very suitable at this time.

"Your Majesty, why did the assassin suddenly break into Zhangde Palace? He also used the human skin mask of the King of Qinghe, and was bathing... I think it was a person with ulterior motives who had discovered these things. If I were to do it again, I would have found out that because of this, I would have been a person with ulterior motives.

If you conceal this matter with selfishness, you may become something uncontrollable in the future. Please allow your Majesty to finish your statement."

Deng Sui shed tears in sorrow, looking very sad.

"Well, then you can just tell me." Liu Zhao frowned, wanting to see if she would tell the truth.

"The first time I was selected as a showgirl, I cried all night. To be honest, I was really scared at that time, afraid that I would go to the palace to be a concubine, and afraid that I would never see the King of Qinghe again..." Deng Sui remembered

I felt extremely sour at that time. "Who knew that something happened to my father, and I couldn't enter the palace because of filial piety. I thought I had escaped, but I didn't expect that three years later, my fate would be rewritten again. Your Majesty, I'll send you my imperial edict.

On the night he arrived at Deng's mansion, I asked my nearby maid to send a letter to the King of Qinghe, and asked him to leave the imperial city together and fly away."

Liu Zhao was very surprised when he said this from Guiren Deng. "Did you make an appointment with King Qinghe to elope?"

"Yes." Deng Sui replied without reservation: "I did think so at that time. But unfortunately, the King of Qinghe broke the promise and never came again. He never contacted me again. He was not in the palace until he entered the palace.

Meet him."

"He broke the appointment?" Liu Zhao didn't guess that the two people had broken off contact, and it turned out to be the King of Qinghe.

The nobleman Deng in front of him was well-educated, gentle and elegant, with outstanding appearance, and rare intelligence. Liu Zhao couldn't help but wonder, what was wrong with the King of Qinghe who was willing to let her go?

"I have blamed him and hated him. I even thought that one day I must get back the humiliation of that day." Deng Sui's dissatisfaction was revealed in his tone. "Especially when entering the palace, he entered the palace and said that he was full of dissatisfaction."

After that, everything in the palace made me very scared. The more I did this, the more I hated him. I blamed him for all the fate of entering the palace. If he took me far away, then all this would not have been

If it happens, I don’t have to suffer such pain in this deep palace.”

Liu Zhao pursed his lips tightly, without making a sound.

"Until Your Majesty lets your mother enter the palace." There were lights flashing in Deng Sui's eyes: "Since I entered the palace, I have been thinking about my mother's body and my safety. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty is taking his time and still

Take these things to heart. I am grateful to Your Majesty and rely more on Your Majesty. Seeing that I am safe and sound, I heard that I sighed that Your Majesty treats me well, as if the frost in my heart has slowly dissolved."

"Then you treat me well now, just because you are grateful to me for treating you well?" Liu Zhao's words were very meaningful. It sounded like he was asking casually. But in fact, the content here must be thoughtful before he could answer it.

.

"Your Majesty, you are my husband." Deng Sui frowned and said with a serious expression: "Even if I was very resistant to entering the palace at the beginning, even if I had thought about other people's lives before entering the palace.

But now, I am your concubine and your woman. What I do and think are all around you and my husband. Thank you for treating me well is just one aspect.

I want to regard you as a husband as my love, and I will not only give up my life because of gratitude."

She lowered her head, her tone was obviously sad: "When the assassin appeared today, I was bathing in the white jade pond. The moment he appeared, I thought, if I was bullied by him, I would never live a life and make your Majesty embarrassed.

I clicked the acupoint of Toran, so that Toran could not be rescued. I even thought of dying with him. But at the moment of life and death, I realized that it was not just a deal between me and Your Majesty.

At that time, I just hope that Your Majesty can be by your side, and that I can see Your Majesty again before I die. I hope that just like now, Your Majesty can love me and whisper and ask questions. At the risk of death, I will drag him into the water.

, Taking advantage of his choking water, I tried my best to wrap myself in a cotton towel and escape from the pool... If I hadn't been thinking about His Majesty, I'd probably not be able to hold on now..."

She choked up, and her desolate tone made people feel distressed.

Liu Zhao stretched out his hand and hugged her into his generous arms. "Okay, don't be afraid, it's all over."

"Your Majesty..." Deng Sui leaned on his chest: "I thought you would be there, why are you not here? Don't leave me behind!"

After rubbing her hard in her arms, Liu Zhao felt so nervous: "I promised you that I will never leave you. If there is such a difficult situation in the future, I will definitely work with you."

"With your Majesty's words, I will die with my eyes closed." Deng Sui also hugged him tightly, half moved and half rational.

She knew that this time the matter would definitely be spread. The only thing she had to do was to explain it to the emperor first.

"Okay, don't be afraid." Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly adjusted his emotions: "I will ask about this matter in person. No matter who was assigned to the assassin to the Zhangde Palace for assassination, I will not let it go

.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Deng Sui wiped his tears. "I am in the palace and rely entirely on His Majesty's blessing. My appearance has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and his favor and mercy have attracted everyone.

The palace complained. But I have never harmed others? I just hope to be by Your Majesty, share your worries, and do some small things within my ability, so as not to get bored of Your Majesty."

"You don't have the intention to harm others, but the rumors in the harem have never stopped." Liu Zhao thought for a moment and called Wuling in: "The thing that happened in Zhangde Palace today is not allowed to be spread. If anyone cares about it, it is not allowed to be a word.
To be continued...
