"Then, which one do you like better, outside of surgery or in reality?"

Xiao Zhen: "..."

"Sometimes I always feel that you are still thinking about Han Ziran in Zhu Youshu." There was a hint of sourness in Han Ziran's words.

Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "What about you? Which one do you like, the me in Zhu Youshu or the real me?"

Han Ziran: "..." He coughed lightly and quickly said something else: "I heard that the spring outside is pretty good. When I'm free, let's go for a spring outing."

"Okay." Xiao Zhen snickered a few times in his heart. In fact, whether in Zhu Youshu or in reality, their feelings for each other are real. This is enough: "By the way, Mr. Zhao of Taiwei Mansion

Is there any difficulty for you in court?"

"There is no embarrassment, but there is no warmth like before. When something like this happened to Miss Zhao, he could have guessed who did it." Han Ziran said and lightly scratched Xiao's nose: "This is

This is the second time you’ve shaved someone’s head.”

Xiao Zhen smiled heartily: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can't scold or beat her, so we can only use this sneaky trick. After all, You'er has escaped from the gate of hell once."

Speaking of the fact that his eldest daughter almost died in childbirth, Han Ziran's face turned cold: "Fortunately, You'er, mother and son are safe. If not, I'm afraid I would be as impulsive as Yu'er. I didn't expect that this young lady from the Zhao family would be so scheming.

So deep.”

"Fortunately, she is not deeply involved in the world and her mind is relatively simple. If she had been replaced by a cruel person, I'm afraid You'er would have lost her life long ago."

While the two were talking, a shadow guard said outside the door: "Sir, madam, the Queen Mother sent a shadow guard over to report something important."

"Queen Mother?" Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran looked at each other: "Let the shadow guards come in."

Soon, the shadow guard walked in, knelt down on one knee and said: "Sir, Madam, the Queen Mother asked me to come and tell you two, I'm afraid the one in the Dowager Palace is dying."

"Your Highness?" Xiao Zhen asked in surprise.

"Yes. The imperial concubine has been coughing up blood since yesterday. The imperial doctor said that she is afraid she won't be able to survive tonight." The shadow guard added: "The empress dowager said that as long as I tell the adults and madam, the adults will understand it.

meaning."

Xiao Zhen's mood was a little complicated. She and the concubine didn't have much interaction in reality, but during the operation, the concubine called her sister and sighed and looked at Han Ziran: "The queen mother wants you to do something.

What?"

Han Ziran's expression was a little strange. After swatting away the shadow guard, he looked at his wife helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhen asked.

"Azhen, do you still remember that I once told you that it is rumored that the imperial concubine has a guard she likes."

Xiao Zhen laughed: "Not only did you say this, you even mentioned it in the art. You also said that the guard that the imperial concubine likes is me." Thinking about it now, she felt like it was a joke.

"Yes. The imperial concubine has always liked you who was once a guard. She thought you were the emperor's shadow guard and lived in the palace every day, so she wanted to enter the palace. Later, she found out that the guard had become a general.

But you were already dead by then."

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"The Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother has been chanting your name in her mouth."

Xiao Zhen's eyes moved.

Han Ziran said: "The Queen Mother sympathizes with the Concubine, so a few days ago, she came to ask me if I could let you change back to the general to see the Concubine."

Xiao Zhen: "..." After a while, he said: "It is really rare for the Queen Mother to be compassionate."

"I told her that I will help her bring this, but I can't decide whether you go or not." Han Ziran sighed: "Are you going?"

Xiao Zhen felt quite heavy in her heart. She never knew that there was a girl in this world who loved her, a person she had only met once, and even sacrificed her life's happiness for this stranger.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." They had only met the imperial concubine a few times, and they didn't even have any friendship. They wouldn't be told whether they were going or not, let alone under such circumstances.

Xiao Zhen finally decided: "I will go." Just because of a fate in Zhu Youshu.

The wind has picked up, making the summer night a little cooler.

Xiao Zhen put on night clothes and flew into the palace of the Imperial Concubine. The Queen Mother had made arrangements before, so there were almost no maids waiting in the palace. When she entered the bedroom, the Imperial Concubine's personal maid was not surprised to see her.

, he just wiped away his tears, blessed her and then left.

Only one palace lantern was lit, quietly illuminating the interior.

The imperial concubine's bedroom is very unique. Even the small furnishings in the corner are pleasing to the eye. You can imagine that their owner must be a refined person.

Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed. The woman was very beautiful. No matter when he saw her, she was always beautiful. Even if her complexion was sallow due to illness, her facial features were still breathtakingly beautiful.

Everyone said that all the beauties of the Han Dynasty lived in the Duke of Lu's mansion. It was true. Xiao Zhen had met Duke Lu's wife many times. Mrs. Lu's beauty was unforgettable.

The imperial concubine who slowly opened her eyes was not necessarily panicked when she saw someone standing in front of the bed. Her eyes were blankly looking at Xiao Zhen, and she seemed to be looking at someone through Xiao Zhen, until her

Her eyes slowly regained focus, and after seeing Xiao Zhen's face clearly, she became a little surprised: "You?"

"We meet again." Xiao Zhen deliberately made his voice thicker, and his face was also disguised to make himself look similar to when he was a soldier.

"General?" The concubine's dead black eyes became a little brighter: "Is it really you?"

Xiao Zhen sighed softly, not knowing what to say. As a woman, I understood the affectionate light in the eyes of the noble concubine. It turned out that she liked him so much. But what did she like about her? At that time

, they didn't even say a word, the imperial concubine was still a child at that time.

"General, is it really you?"

"It's me."

"You came to see me?"

"I'm here to see you."

There was moisture in the eyes of the imperial concubine. Slowly, the moisture condensed into tears and fell: "I have been waiting for you for almost twenty years, and finally I am waiting for you."

"Silly girl, you are really a stupid girl."

"I'm not stupid, it's worth it. That's great. Are you here to take me away?"

Presumably, she also knew about her body. Xiao Zhen said: "You have to live well. You are still young. You still have three princes to take care of."

"I don't want to live anymore. Without you in this world, living is a kind of torture for me. Originally, I was fine living in the nunnery, but the Queen Mother had to take me back to the palace. She tossed and done things every day, and I couldn't bear it.

, and there is nothing we can do about it.”

Xiao Zhen: "..."

"And the late Emperor, as long as I live here, I always dream of the late Emperor bleeding from his seven orifices and asking me why I poisoned him."

Xiao Zhen's eyes suddenly opened: "What did you say?"

The imperial concubine looked at Xiao Zhen and smiled foolishly: "My father said that the late emperor had always been afraid of your great achievements and had already had murderous intentions towards you. To the outside world, he said that you died of illness, but everyone knew

You were killed by him. So I want to avenge you."

"What?" Xiao Zhen couldn't believe what he heard.

"Did you know? Between me and the Queen Mother, the Emperor actually liked the Queen Mother better, but he was also most annoyed by the Queen Mother's temper, so he often came to my place, and I secretly smeared poison on his underwear.

As time went by, the poison seeped into his skin, and he was poisoned to death by me."

Xiao Zhen stared at the noble concubine and clenched his fists tightly.

"Later I found out that he had always known that the late emperor had always known that I was poisoning him." The noble concubine looked at Xiao Zhen and said as if he was taking credit: "It turns out that the late emperor also had someone he loved. He loved the queen.

She's your sister, but even he doesn't know it

Said. He deserved it. The queen was tortured by him for three years. Later, he eloped with the Prime Minister at that time. Only then did he realize that he loved the queen so much. Therefore, he felt that death was also a kind of relief. General, you said I was

Didn’t you also avenge your sister?”

Xiao Zhen looked at the terminally ill woman in front of him in disbelief. She had countless thoughts and guesses, but she had never guessed about her. The emperor was poisoned. What kind of poison was it? Who poisoned him to death?

This has always been a mystery. No matter how Ziran and she checked, they never found out. She almost thought she would never know it in this life.

But I didn't expect to know it so suddenly.

The imperial concubine showed a shy smile like a girl: "General, you will come to see me, do you know my feelings?"

Xiao Zhen pursed his lips tightly and closed his eyes.

Seeing that Xiao Zhen said nothing, the noble concubine asked timidly: "What's wrong with you? I've avenged you and your sister, aren't you happy?"

"Did you know that your revenge caused the court to be in chaos for more than ten years?" When Xiao Zhen opened his eyes, he looked at the concubine coldly, which also disrupted the peaceful life of her and Ziran.

"I just wanted to avenge you at that time and didn't think much about anything else. Don't blame me." As she said that, the imperial concubine stretched out her hand, with a hint of blush on her sallow face: "General, you can hold my hand.
