For someone who yearns for the emperor, this must be a very good encounter, but she is not.

Jiang Yuan nodded expressionlessly: "Eunuch Song asked me to dress the emperor. The emperor has been tired today, so he should drink tea to relieve his fatigue."

"I just saw you talking coldly to me. Now you are so gentle. I'm not used to it."

The emperor came closer to her, with a smile in his passionate eyes: "I always feel like I have seen you somewhere."

She took a step back warily: "I am an ordinary servant, so I look so good that the emperor thinks he has seen her before somewhere."

"No, I have seen him before. It seems that there was a person like you once. I seemed to like him very much at that time."

He squinted his eyes, as if he saw someone else through her, and the smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly turned weird: "You do look like a person."

Jiang Yuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that he saw that she looked like her mother?

But the other party didn't seem to notice it. He closed his eyes with some melancholy and recalled the past: "It's a pity that she left a little early and chose the wrong person. Maybe when she was with me, she wouldn't end up in such a miserable state."

The fate of."

"The tragic end refers to..." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but talk. The emperor came back to his senses, smiled, and sighed:

"Look what I said. I shouldn't have said it. Just seeing you makes me think of her. She didn't live a very good life in the second half of her life. She gave birth to an unhealthy child and died on the blade of an assassin.

Next. If she could have listened to me and been with me, maybe things would have been different."

Aren't all the old friends he talks about her mother?

If he had longed for his mother, why was he so ruthless in killing her?

hypocrite!!

Jiang Yuan clenched his fists and tried his best to make his voice sound soft and sound:

"It's really a pity that the emperor didn't get the woman he likes. But the emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, what kind of beauties does he want? Don't think too much."

"Yes, I have three thousand beauties in my harem, so naturally I won't miss her. I just see you and feel a little like her."

The emperor looked at her tenderly. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes were the traces engraved on his skin by time. Although he was much older, the skill of flirting with girls seemed to be engraved in his bones. He suddenly stood up and approached her:

"It would be great if I could make up for the regrets of the past."

Damn it! What are you doing?

She instantly felt the blood in her heart surge up, burning directly into her lungs like a fire, making her unable to calm down and her face turned cold:

"Your Majesty, although your servants are people in the palace, they are not objects you use to remember your old friend."

She raised her head, looked at the emperor, and suppressed her anger and said: "I am honored to look like your old friend, but I don't want to be her substitute. I just want to be a slave quietly."

"..." The emperor was stunned for a moment, his expression a little embarrassed: "I really cannot force others to do anything."

He sat down dejectedly, as if he was still thinking about something, but she didn't care anymore, she just felt sick to her stomach: "I'm leaving this slave."

After the ceremony, he turned around and left. Suddenly, a man rushed into the room: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty!!"

Bad news? Jiang Yuan got excited. When he saw the servant almost crawling up to the emperor, he said in a panic: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Take care of him. He is dead."

"What?"

"My servant went to deliver something to General Manager Song. He found that the General Manager was pinned to a tree, with a knife inserted into his throat. He died miserably..."

Having said this, the young eunuch did not dare to speak any more and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please tell me how to deal with it, your Majesty."

Song Rushan's death is very strange. Is someone trying to help her, or is it his enemy?

She became a little curious: "Where is it?"

"Just... right in the backyard of the side hall..."

She ran over immediately, and the guards had already surrounded the place. The palace maids and eunuchs on the road were terrified and muttering scary words.

She followed the crowd to the corpse, and it turned out that the death was horrific.

He stared, as if he couldn't believe that he would die in this man's hands. It seemed that before he could make a sound, he was pierced through the throat and fixed on the tree.

She walked forward and looked at the knife carefully.

It is unremarkable, without any decoration, or even provenance. It is a homemade machete.

The murderer had neat techniques, maybe he was a killer.

Why did you want to kill Song Rushan?

She picked up a disciple of Song Rushan from the crowd: "Has your master ever had any grudges with others?"

"No." The young apprentice seemed to be frightened, his face was gray and his eyes were dull:

"Master always smiles with everyone and never makes grudges. Besides, this method may be used by some kind of adult. If it is an adult, Master will not be offended."

That makes sense.

It's just that Song Rushan had lived a good life all his life. He was killed by her herself and he shouldn't have died at this time.

From the very beginning, after her parents' bodies were snatched away, it felt strange. Why would anyone change it?

Obviously no one snatched the body, but Song Rushan also died in her hands.

Could it be that when she died, someone was reborn with her? But no one she has met so far has shown any ill will towards her.

Or, this person is on her side.

Who could it be?

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly a gloomy male voice sounded from behind. Jiang Yuan was startled. She turned around suddenly and saw Du Kun holding a lantern and looking at her expressionlessly.

The light struck up from his chin, forming a terrifying shadow, and his calm eyes really made her feel a little confused: "Why are you here?"

"His Highness asked me and Su Qiao to come find you. Seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, I thought something happened to you."

He glanced at Song Rushan's body as if nothing had happened, and frowned in disgust: "It's not like he was killed so miserably."

"...No?" She wondered: "What does it mean?"

"Come here and I'll tell you."

Jiang Yuan immediately followed Du Kun's footsteps. After a while, Su Qiao, who was waiting in the distance, also walked up. The three of them walked side by side. Du Kun said:

"It was only a matter of time before this guy was killed. I just didn't expect it to be so soon, and I didn't expect...it would be so tragic."

"Why? I asked his young apprentice just now. His master has not offended anyone."

"He said he didn't offend, so he didn't offend?" Du Kun sneered: "Do you know how many smiling tigers there are in this palace? He is one of them. Didn't he also bully you?"

She was startled when she heard this and looked at Du Kun in confusion: "How do you know?"

"The emperor is interested in you. We all know that the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of forcing you, but he seemed to force you to come and serve tea to the emperor just to make him happy."
