"emperor."

Eunuch Fu came back with a black jade and gold necklace.

Seeing that the emperor was as tall as jade and standing in the inner hall, they did not dare to disturb him.

After a long time, Xuan Ling turned around, his face as cold and solemn as ever.

Eunuch Fu secretly saw the tear marks on his long eyelashes.

"Your Majesty, the young master has left with the Empress Chen..."

Xuan Ling took the black jade gold collar and stroked it gently, as if he was touching Jiang Jiang's little face.

She and his beloved child are gone,

No one wants him anymore.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. The young master is filial. He is reluctant to leave the Empress Chen. He will be back in a few days."

Eunuch Fu choked up as he spoke.

"Young Master, you certainly don't know that there are nine grades of royal jade, with Xuanyu being the first. This piece of jade is the best quality that Your Majesty has selected from among many raw stones."

Xuan means the silk is moving and the golden silk is free.

Xuanyu symbolizes imperial power and nobility, and is a symbol of power and status.

No one except the emperor and the crown prince is worthy of wearing it.

Emperor Xuanwu said in a hoarse voice, "Put it away."

"yes."

Next to the dragon table, on a rosewood stand with gold thread, is a phoenix crown inlaid with gems and kingfisher feathers.

Xuan Ling sneered and picked up the phoenix crown.

Since he started designing more than a month ago, he has imagined countless looks and expressions of Sheng Xiyan wearing the phoenix crown in his mind.

"Your Majesty, do you think I look beautiful in this dress?"

"Very beautiful."

The phoenix seeking the phoenix and the twined branches pattern are his wishful thinking.

The person you can't bear to leave doesn't really have to bear to leave you.

There are many pains in life, including love, separation, resentment, and failure to obtain what one desires.

Sheng Xiyan, you returned the imperial green ring to me to tell me that you have never loved me.

Liu, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, came in with a jewelry box in his hand and bowed.

"Your Majesty, this is presented to you by the Empress Chen."

In the gold-threaded sandalwood jewelry box, there was the first gift for her—an agarwood Buddhist bead bracelet, the first gift for Jiang Jiang—a turquoise necklace, a mutton-fat jade bead peony pendant necklace, and jade Buddhist beads...

"The other ten night-shining pearls, the pearl shirt, and hundreds of pieces of jewelry, your Majesty, do you think they should be deposited in the national treasury or kept in Guanju Palace for now?"

Xuan Ling said nothing and stroked the gifts one by one.

On his gloomy face, his eyes were like blazing fire and his mouth was tightly pursed, forming a cold arc.

Suddenly he kicked the dragon table hard,

When the emperor gets angry, the mountains and rivers change color and the earth trembles.

With a crackling sound, the memorials, purple gold inkstone and jewelry on the table all fell to the ground.

The phoenix crown, which was especially heavy and inlaid with gems and kingfisher feathers, rolled back and forth several times on the white marble floor, scattering pearls, gems and kingfisher feathers everywhere.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Chief Steward Liu, Eunuch Fu, and the palace servants and guards inside and outside the hall knelt down hurriedly, not daring to raise their heads or breathe, and begged in a low voice.

There was a girl's crying outside the palace.

"Father, please call the general back! Father!"

Lewen ran in crying.

Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to coax Le Wen away.

"Princess, the emperor is in a bad mood right now. Please go back first, dear."

The nanny picked up Le Wen and returned to Jingren Palace.

In Jingren Palace, Empress Duan was in a joyful mood, she had never felt so happy before.

"Have the palace servants who spread the rumors been dealt with?"

Qing Dai said, "Don't worry, your Majesty. That palace maid has already left the palace. Rumors are the most difficult to investigate."

Queen Duan nodded.

"I only wanted the Emperor to hear the rumors and vent my anger on Concubine Chen, but I didn't expect Wang Shuyi to be even bolder. It's a pity that I didn't succeed. Otherwise, she would have been caught red-handed. Her conspiracy with foreign ministers and her bringing chaos to the palace would have been punishable by death."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Concubine Chen is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. She has asked to leave the palace and will never return."

"Yes, she will live in a dilapidated temple, sleeping in the open air and aging. I feel a little sympathy for her, but also a little admiration for her strong character."

"The Concubine Chen broke with the Emperor because he favored Concubine Cui. Such foolish behavior makes her unworthy of being a concubine."

The sky was filled with setting sun, and in the carriage outside the palace, both the people and the dog looked sad.

Sheng Xiyan hugged Jiang Jiang and encouraged him:

"Don't be afraid, baby. Mother has something to say."

"What?"

Sheng Xiyan said with high spirits:

"This line,

Like a bird soaring into the sky,

Fish enter the sea,

No more restraints!"

"Mother, what do you mean?"

"It means that once we leave the palace, the world will be vast and we will surely be free and happy."

The general nodded and said:

"Oh, I understand. The palace has the most rules in the world. After leaving the palace, I can be as free as fish and birds, right?"

"Baby is so smart."

Hua Xia was standing by with a worried look on her face, she was afraid that - no one would take care of her meals anymore!

More than an hour later, it was almost dark.

Arrived at the gate of a temple.

A few people stuck their heads out and said, "Hey, it's called a dilapidated temple, but it actually looks pretty good."

Just when I was feeling happy, the temple door opened and several monks came out to light the lamps.

"My lady, this is not Hanyu Temple, it's Jade Buddha Temple."

The driver said as he drove the car forward.

"Hanyu Temple is still five miles away, on the edge of Liangshan. It's in a dilapidated state there, so you should be prepared.

I've also heard that the nuns there are very vicious, so you'd better hide your jewelry and banknotes."

Hua Xia was so scared that she touched her waist. Sheng Xiyan had said that she wanted to leave the palace these two days, so she became cautious and sewed the two thousand taels of silver notes she had saved in the palace in the past two years into her inner shirt.

"Madam, where are the banknotes that Consort Cui and Chief Steward Liu gave you just now?"

Sheng Xiyan took it out from his sleeve.
