Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 183

The Leng Palace is in the northwest corner of the imperial palace. It is said to be the Leng Palace, but because of its remoteness, it is a palace that is not lived in and cleaned all the year round.

Ye Chu brought only Sixi and one person, and entered the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was desolate and cold, with weeds growing in the gaps between the square bricks paving the floor, and the doors and windows were in disrepair, mottled and old. There was a thick layer of dust, and several chairs were tilted here and there.

Sixi cried, "Why is the emperor so cruel, let the empress live in this kind of place?"

Sixi couldn't understand how she was so good in every possible way before, but suddenly became so ruthless.

Ye Chu was much calmer, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "What's the use of crying, go fetch a basin of water!"

Bliss and misfortune, but in a blink of an eye, who would have thought that just a moment ago, she was still Xiao Lie's favorite concubine, but after leaving the palace for a trip, she was thrown into the cold palace when she came back.

Meeting Gu He is really a coincidence, maybe this is her doomed disaster.

"Yes!" Sixi wiped away her tears, put down her burden, and went out to fetch water.

When he came back, Ye Chu rolled up his sleeves, found a rag and put it in the house for display.

"Your Majesty, how can you do such rough work!" Surprised, Sixi put down the water basin and hurriedly helped Ye Chu up.

Ye Chu put the rag into the sink and washed it, with a calm expression, "It's going to be dark soon, we have to rest at night, you can't clean it by yourself, and the two of us may live here forever , there are not so many rules!"

Ye Chu began to wipe the table with a rag while talking, "Clean up the room first today, and clean up the yard tomorrow. Even if you are a cold palace, you can't live in such a mess!"

Sixi watched Ye Chu work, tears welled up again, she hurriedly turned around to wipe them off, and quickly started tidying up the house, trying to do more by herself and let Ye Chu do less.

Although there is dust in the room, the tables, chairs and furniture are all high-quality palace items. After being wiped, the paint color is bright and it looks brand new.

The master and servant also changed all the quilts, and just after tidying up, the little eunuch in the yard shouted, "The empress dowager is here!"

Ye Chu was startled, quickly rolled up his sleeves, wiped off the dust on his face, tidied up his appearance, and then got up to go outside.

Empress Dowager Rong stepped forward to meet Ye Chu, and couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Ye Chu, "Chu Er, the mother concubine is here to see you!"

Ye Chu knelt down to Empress Dowager Rong, "Mother Concubine, I have let you down!"

"Get up!" The Empress Dowager Rong helped Ye Chu up, looked around, and sighed, "You have been wronged!"

Ye Chu shook his head, "It's the concubine's fault."

"My concubine knows that there must be a misunderstanding. The emperor is the son of the Ai family. The Ai family understands him. He must also know that you are innocent. He is only angry because you defended that man." The Empress Dowager Rong said in a deep voice.

Ye Chu nodded, "The concubine understands, but he is the concubine's senior brother, and he has been kind to protect and protect the concubine. The concubine has always regarded him as an elder brother, and I can't just watch him die!"

"Alas!" The Empress Dowager Rong sighed, "The Emperor's anger will inevitably lead him to lose his mind, and when his anger subsides, he will definitely take you back."

Ye Chu nodded lightly.

"The Ai family has already ordered the palace servants to take care of them. Everything remains the same. If you need anything here, you must send someone to find the Ai family!" Empress Dowager Rong instructed.

"Yes, thank you, Concubine Mother!" Ye Chu saw that the Empress Dowager Rong loved him so much, his eyes turned red, and his voice couldn't help sobbing.

The Empress Dowager Rong sent someone to transfer the palace servants from Yaohua Palace, and everything was properly arranged.

It was already dark, and the Empress Dowager Rong gave a few more instructions before leaving the Leng Palace and going to the Fushou Palace to report to the Empress Dowager.

After hearing the whole story, Empress Dowager Xiao sighed again and again, "It was fine before, so why is there something wrong again?"

Xiao Lie's feelings have always been a problem in her heart, and Ye Chu finally came, who satisfied her everywhere, and gradually fell in love with Xiao Lie, why did something happen again?

"Empress Dowager, don't worry too much, maybe this is a long-term success, the emperor will figure it out!" Empress Dowager Rong reassured.

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, "Take care of that girl Chu'er, don't let her be wronged, the Ai family believes that she is innocent!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager, don't worry!"

Empress Dowager Rong spoke a few more words of comfort, and then Empress Dowager Xiao was a little relieved.

Ye Chu lived in Lenggong, except that it was not as magnificent as Yaohua Palace, and not as beautiful as other palaces, there seemed to be no difference in other things.

It's just that the Lenggong is in a remote place, few people come, it's unusually deserted.

Sixi thought that the emperor would figure it out soon and let Ye Chu go back, but ten days passed quickly, except for the two visits by Mrs. Rong, the emperor didn't make any movement, it seemed that Ye Chu had been forgotten.

Ye Chu had nothing to do when he was free, he tidied up a deserted garden outside the cold palace, planted flowers and cut branches in the garden every day, and lived a peaceful life.

Naturally, the Ye family also knew about Ye Chu being thrown into the cold palace, Ye Zhong asked to see Xiao Lie several times, but was refused, so he had to let Mrs. Du and Ye Mei enter the palace to visit Ye Chu.

After Du Shi and Ye Mei entered the palace, they first went to Fushou Palace to kowtow to Empress Dowager Xiao to plead guilty.

"There is some misunderstanding here, tell Master Ye not to worry too much, the emperor will figure it out and bring Concubine De back." Empress Dowager Xiao comforted her.

"Yes!" Du Shi nodded in fear.

"De Concubine Ai's family will also send someone to take care of her, you can rest assured!" The Empress Dowager Rong also comforted her gently.

Knowing that although Ye Chu was thrown into limbo, the situation was not too bad, Du Shi and Ye Mei sat for a while and got up to leave.

Coming out of Fushou Palace and passing by Yuming Palace, the two met Xiao Lie who was coming.

Mrs. Du hurriedly took Ye Mei to greet Xiao Lie.

Something happened to Ye Chu, Ye Mei entered the palace today but she was very brightly dressed, Fushen always took a step forward, her voice was as charming as a warbler.

Mrs. Du lowered her head and turned her eyes, and said sincerely, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, when I was in Zhuozhou, my mother did have a senior brother, and I often went to see her at home. I thought that the two of them had broken up after entering Beijing, but I didn't expect to do it. This kind of scandal, I am really ashamed to see the emperor."

Xiao Liejun's face was dull, "Have Concubine De and that man been in frequent contact before?"

"Yes," Du said in a low voice, "the last time when the Empress went home to visit her relatives at the Dragon Boat Festival, I wanted to tell my empress to forget about his senior brother and never do anything to offend the emperor, but my empress sat there for a while that day. Then I left, and the concubine didn't have time to say anything, which led to today's catastrophe!"

Xiao Lie narrowed his eyes, "Didn't Concubine De stay at home all day on Dragon Boat Festival?"

"No, I left without eating lunch after sitting for a while!" Du Shi finished speaking, seeming to know that he had made a mistake, "The emperor forgives me, the empress will definitely not go to see that man."

Xiao Lie's expression became more and more sad, and he gave a faint "Yes", and asked the palace staff to send Du Shi and Ye Mei out of the palace.

When Du's two left the palace gate, Ye Mei immediately asked, "Mother, why did you say that? During the Dragon Boat Festival, Eldest Sister obviously stays at home all the time."

Du's face was harsh, and he said coldly, "She doesn't even help her own sister, this is selfish retribution!"

Ye Mei felt uneasy, "The emperor won't kill elder sister in a fit of anger, right?"

"Silly girl!" Mrs. Du held her shoulders, "Your elder sister has fallen out of favor, and when the emperor finds out that he has wronged your elder sister, he will naturally feel guilty. When the time comes, let your father recommend you into the palace, and your blessing will come." Already!"

Ye Mei smiled expectantly, "Really?"

"Of course, when you get the emperor's favor, I'll just help Eldest Sister!" Du Shi was thinking wishfully. In her heart, it was useless for Ye Chu to be sidelined. The most important thing now was to help Ye Mei. Intend.

Ye Mei nodded immediately, "My daughter will definitely not be useless like elder sister."

Du said comfortingly, "Mother knows that your eldest sister is not as clever as you, and cannot be a concubine. Mother still counts on you to be more reliable!"

Ye Mei leaned on Du Shi's shoulder and said with a joyful smile,

"Yes!"

Xiao Lie was going to greet Empress Dowager Xiao, but after hearing what Mrs. Du said, she suddenly lost her mind and turned back to the imperial study.

Picking up the booklet, the words on it were blurred, the man's face was ugly, gloomy like water, and with a sudden force, with a "crash", all the booklets on the table were swung out, flying like snow in an instant.

Eunuch Fu and several servants knelt down in fear,
"Emperor calm down!"

Xiao Lie leaned back on the dragon chair, raised his hand to caress his forehead, and closed those long cold eyes.

It was night, after Ye Chu had dinner, he waited for Sixi to fetch water to take a bath, sat on a chair and read a book for a while, gradually getting sleepy.

She half-closed her eyes, heard the sound of the door, and then closed it gently again, thinking that it was Sixi who came in to avoid disturbing her, so she didn't raise her head, and said softly, "Don't close the door, it's very stuffy!"

No one responded, only the sound of footsteps coming straight over, Ye Chu sensed something was wrong, suddenly raised his head, and was startled for a moment,
"Brother Gu!"

Under the faint light, Gu He looked straight at Ye Chu, stopped half a foot away, "Ah Chu, I'm sorry!"

Ye Chu looked behind him nervously, "Did anyone see you coming in?"

"All the people in the palace were knocked out by me!" Gu He said, with an apologetic expression on his face, "Ah Chu, I didn't expect you to enter the palace and marry the emperor. I'm really sorry for causing you to be sidelined now!"

Ye Chu shook his head and said, "Needless to say, the emperor is still sending people to hunt you down, you should leave Shengjing immediately, go back to Zhuozhou, or go back to the mountains, just hide for a while!"

"I want to leave Shengjing, but I want to take you with me!" Gu He's brows were handsome and his eyes were persistent.

"No!" Ye Chu directly refused, and said firmly, "I can't leave with you, you should leave quickly!"

"Achu, why are you still hesitating? The emperor is so moody that he might kill you at any time. Is there anything in this palace that makes you miss it? Stay away from Shengjing with me and be at ease from now on, isn't it good?" Gu He frowned. look at her.

Ye Chu still shook his head, his eyes were clear, "Brother broke into the palace privately today, it's already wrong, Chu Chu only thinks that brother is here to say goodbye, from now on, the world is strangers, brother, forget about Chuchu!"

"No, Ah Chu, come with me!" Gu He grabbed Ye Chu's wrist, "I know, you must not like this place, I'm here to save you!"

Ye Chu frowned, and just about to break away from the man's hand, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the palace door, and then the palace door opened with a "bang", and countless forbidden soldiers rushed up outside the door, holding torches, and willed the small palace. The lights in the courtyard are like daylight.

The imperial guards were separated on both sides, and a long and quiet figure walked over slowly. Standing there, black tides surged in their long eyes, and looked coldly at the two people in the hall.

The moment Ye Chu saw the man, his heart sank in panic, knowing that he was really doomed.

This time, jumping to the Yellow River probably won't clean it up!
God can really joke with her!

Through the dark night, Ye Chu couldn't see the man's expression clearly, but felt the man's overwhelming anger.

Even ordinary men can't stand seeing their wives in the same room with other men at night, not to mention, he is still an emperor.

Ye Chu wondered if he would really kill her in a fit of anger this time?

Gu He immediately protected Ye Chu behind him, and looked at Xiao Lie warily. After all, he was in front of the Emperor Liang, so he couldn't help but get nervous.

"Your Majesty, if you don't like Ah Chu, why don't you let her out of the palace, we will be very grateful to you!"

Xiao Lie's thin lips curled up into a smile that was not a smile, with the majesty of someone who had been in power for a long time, and his voice was cold, "You? So, Concubine De also wants to leave?"

"No!" Ye Chu immediately said, kneeling straight on the ground, "The concubine will not leave!"

"Ah Chu!" Gu He frowned at Ye Chu.

"My concubine doesn't want to leave, it seems that this person is forcing my concubine!" Xiao Lie opened his lips indifferently, and shouted, "Come here, take down those who break into the inner palace and plot evil!"

"Yes!" The imperial guards all drew their swords and rushed towards the hall.

Gu He subconsciously took a step back.

Ye Chu turned his eyes sharply, looked at the forbidden soldiers who were approaching constantly, remembered Gu He's care when he was young, closed his eyes, reached out and pulled out the dagger from Gu He's leggings, stood up suddenly, put the dagger on his neck, straight and Xiao Lie looked at each other,

"Your Majesty, Senior Brother Gu and I have the same family friendship, but there is indeed no love between men and women. I beg you to let him live. I promise that Senior Brother will stay away from Shengjing and never enter Beijing again."

After Ye Chu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Gu He, with open eyes and a solemn tone, "Brother Gu, Chu Chu is very grateful for your care when you were on the mountain, but I have always regarded you as my elder brother, you are so embarrassing, I can only let you I resent you for making our fellowship into strangers! Please Brother Gu stop persecuting me, and I can't leave you, do you understand?"

Gu He looked at Ye Chu painfully, looked at the dagger in her hand, after a while, seemed to finally realize how much trouble his own wishful thinking had caused her, felt guilty and sad, nodded and said, "I understand, brother, I'm sorry, Promise you, I will never come to Beijing again!"

Xiao Lie looked at the two "with affection", the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense, he stared coldly at the knife on Ye Chu's neck, his tone was cold,
"Ye Chu, if you threaten me with yourself, do you take yourself too seriously?"

Ye Chu turned his head to look at Xiao Lie, and smiled sadly, "The concubine has been thrown into the cold palace, how can he think highly of himself? Today is just the last fight, the emperor can also let the imperial army rush up and kill the concubine and Senior Brother Gu together." Already!"

Gu He took a step forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Lie, "Cao Min is guilty! But there is nothing dirty between Cao Min and Empress. It is Cao Min's wishful thinking that disturbed Empress. , I just beg the emperor to spare the empress!"

Seeing this, the Forbidden Army immediately stepped forward, intending to detain Gu He.

"Don't touch him!" Ye Chu shouted, throwing the dagger at his neck, "Anyone who dares to touch him, I will kill myself immediately!"

Eunuch Fu frowned tightly, and said anxiously, "Ma'am, why are you bothering?"

"Ye Chu!" Xiao Lie slowly squinted his eyes, and a surge of anger rolled up in his black eyes.

Ye Chu took a deep breath, his face was slightly pale, but his expression was unusually calm, "My concubine wandered abroad for ten years when I was young, and I have tasted the warmth and coldness of life. Only my senior brothers sincerely protect each other, so what about parents and sisters? The concubine knows that blackmailing the emperor is a capital crime, but only in this way can I repay the kindness of the past, so the concubine has the courage to ask the emperor to let the senior brother go! The concubine is willing to commit suicide and apologize!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Chu looked at Xiao Lie with deep eyes, and suddenly stabbed the dagger in his hand towards the neck.

Xiao Lie's pupils shrank, and he kicked the long knife in the hand of the forbidden army next to him, and the cold light shot straight at Ye Chu, only to hear a "bang", the dagger in Ye Chu's hand was blown away by the long knife, and only cut a thin knife on the neck The bloodstains lay down along the woman's snow-white neck, which was unusually eye-catching.

"Ah Chu!" Gu He called out anxiously, eyes full of panic.

At this moment, he finally understood that his affection almost killed Ye Chu.

The knife fell on the ground, Ye Chu took a step back, and still confronted Xiao Lie without any fear.

Xiao Lie's tall and straight body stood in the cold night, and layers of cold mist invaded him. Anger and disappointment filled his brows and eyes, and he smiled slowly, "My concubine, it's really affectionate! It really opened my eyes. , okay, I promise you, let him go!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Chu knelt down and bowed to Xiao Lie a few times, his lowered eyes were full of desolation.

She got up and looked at Gu He, "Brother, let's go!"

Gu He was still a little worried, but he also knew that if he stayed, it would be even more detrimental to Ye Chu, so he nodded, "I'm leaving, Ah Chu take care!"

"Senior brother too!"

Gu He took one last look at Ye Chu, knowing that it would be difficult to see each other again in this life after parting today, he said goodbye with reluctance in his silence, and finally a look of pain flashed in his eyes, he turned around and jumped up, after a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the In the vast night.

Seeing the figure of the man disappear, Ye Chu let out a breath slowly.

Xiao Lie looked at Ye Chu coolly, "Concubine De has always wanted to leave the palace, why didn't I go with him before I came?"

Ye Chu straightened his back, and his graceful autumn eyes were as clear as water, "The concubine cannot leave, even if she wants to leave, she will not disregard the emperor's face and elope with others!"

The corner of Xiao Lie's lips twitched into a sneer that seemed to be there, he glanced at the woman, turned around and left,

"Back to the palace!"

Eunuch Fu and dozens of servants followed immediately, and they walked cleanly in a short while. The palace courtyard in the middle of the night finally returned to silence.

As if nothing had happened.

However, a deeper and deeper gap lay between the two, like the Milky Way in the night sky, and it seemed that they could no longer pass.

Ye Chu walked out of the palace gate, sat alone on the stone steps, looked up at the vast stars in the sky, his mind was full of thoughts, and it took a long time to gradually calm down, empty and desolate.

Since then, freedom is gone, and love is gone, and her life may only have this piece of sky left.

The weather gradually turned cold, Ye Chu lived alone in the cold palace, half a month passed, and Xiao Lie never appeared again.

This day Ye Chu got up late in the morning. While washing up, he heard the sound of drums in the palace and asked, "What day is it today? The palace sounds very lively."

Sixi's eyes flickered, she turned her head and said with a sneering smile, "Probably there is King Fan entering the palace!"

"Oh!" Ye Chu nodded slightly, but didn't take it seriously.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, this servant is going to bring you breakfast!" Sixi went out with a water basin.

The autumn scenery was pleasant outside, Ye Chu opened the door and went out, stretched his waist, and walked out along the veranda, when he suddenly heard Hongxiu and a few little maids hiding behind a begonia tree and whispering, as if discussing something.

Ye Chu went down the stone steps and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Hongxiu and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly paid their respects, "Slaves, you didn't say anything!"

Ye Chu rolled his eyes and heard the sound of ritual and music coming from ahead getting louder and louder. He was puzzled and asked, "What's going on in the palace?"

Hong Xiu lowered her head, bit her lip and dared not speak.

"Tell me, is there any happy event in the palace?" Ye Chu asked again.

Hong Xiu frowned tightly, and said in a low voice, "Go back to your empress, the emperor has accepted a new concubine, and is going through the concubine ceremony."

There was a buzzing sound in Ye Chu's head, and she felt the blood flowing backwards all over her body, rushing into her head in an instant, making her dizzy for a moment,

"What did you say?"

Has he married his concubine?

In less than a month, he actually accepted a new concubine?

"Your Majesty, calm down, slaves deserve to die!" Hong Xiu and the others all knelt down with a plop.

Ye Chu's face was pale and dazed, and he said in a low voice, "It's none of your business, what are you kneeling for?"

After speaking, Ye Chu turned around and walked back. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the red begonias outside the corridor, tears streaming down her eyes.

The autumn wind blew on his face, making his bones feel cold.

She walked slowly along the promenade step by step, and the cold wind seemed to be poured into her chest, pulling at her heart, and it hurt like a knife.

She wanted to laugh, to laugh at herself being so stupid that she would fall in love with an emperor, and to laugh at herself naively thinking that Xiao Lie would also like her.

Thinking that the tenderness at night is the genuine tenderness of a man, and mistaken lust for love.

I thought Xiao Lie was just angry,

thought his anger was because he cared about her,

It turned out that it was only because she hurt the dignity of an emperor.

She had violated his Ni Lin and had already been expelled from the game.

But what if she loses her mind?How can she get it back?
The woman burst into tears, and finally couldn't help it, squatting on the ground, hugging her knees and crying bitterly.
