Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 230 Before
Rong Jinli found a clean chair and sat down, leaning on the table with one hand.

"I haven't been here since I ascended the throne. If it wasn't for my concubine, I'm afraid this place will be completely forgotten."

Shen Xi was a little stunned and confused, because she?

Meeting the playful smile in his eyes, thinking of something, embarrassing ears blushed.

He forcibly held back the question he wanted to blurt out, his eyes were a little uncomfortably erratic.

Unconvinced, he muttered softly, "That's because of Concubine Shu, what does it have to do with me."

If Concubine Shu didn't frame and sue, she would naturally not catch the trick of stealing and rape, let alone let Rong Jinli catch her under the bed.

Thinking about that scene, it was a bit embarrassing now.

Shen Xi lowered her head, and whispered into the man's ears, making him glance lightly, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

She chuckled a few words to herself, coughed softly, and was returning to the topic, with a little curiosity in her eyes, "Here, who lived here before?"

Rong Jinli tapped his fingers on the edge of the table a few times, as if he was in deep thought, and after a while, he said slowly, "Queen Qingzhong."

"?"

Shen Xi just sat down beside his desk, her eyelids slightly raised, showing surprise.

Rong Jinli knew the question in her heart, and before she could open her mouth, she explained, "Qing Zhong was conferred by the reigning emperor after her death at that time. , love is not allowed."

That was something I heard the old man say a long time ago.

It is the story of the first three generations of emperors. Since the death of the beautiful and delicate queen, the cruel and tyrannical emperor ordered that everything in this palace should not be tampered with, including the identity of the queen, and should not be mentioned at will.

Over time, it became an indestructible taboo.

Later, he died suddenly.

Here, it became a deserted harem, and no one dared to mention that person.

Rong Jinli didn't know what was going on, probably because it was too long ago, and he didn't care about it.

It's just that I heard a few things when I was a child.

For example, how the emperor doted on the queen at that time, almost because she wanted the stars in the sky, and the person in power had to pick them for her and hold them in front of her.

For her whole life, she was the only one.

It can be described as a lifetime of a double.

This is something that is difficult for anyone to achieve, not to mention that he is a high-ranking emperor.

Shen Xi listened to his description quietly, her heart was not touched in the slightest.

She pointed out a little doubt, "That person is gone, why keep her things intact?"

Isn't this a very strange thing?
What Rong Jinli thought was more strange was not what Shen Xi questioned.

He raised his eyebrows, looked her up and down a bit, "Shouldn't you be moved and envious?"

Shen Xi was slightly startled, and suddenly cupped her face in the next second, showing envy.

"In this world, there is such a love. If the emperor can treat his concubine in the same way, the concubine will be very moved and go through fire and water for you..."

"To shut up."

Before Shen Xi finished those words, someone interrupted her with a cold face, looking at her with heavy eyes.

Shen Xi silently stopped talking: "..."

Cursing inwardly, whether you say it or not is up to you.

Rong Jinli seemed to have heard her inner voice, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile, "I asked you to speak serious words, not nonsense."

"Where is... nonsense."

Shen Xi's raised voice suddenly fell under his gaze.
