His hand was stretched out in front of her, but she didn't move.
He said angrily, "Sheng Xiyan."
Sheng Xiyan knew that what was being challenged at this moment was the emperor's majesty, but she was very clear that if she didn't point it out, the situation would not be broken.
"I don't know what mistakes I made recently to earn the Emperor's cold gaze and disdain.
I am deeply apprehensive every day, unable to guess or understand. I beg Your Majesty to clarify, and I will definitely correct myself."
Xuan Ling was speechless, as if you were arguing with someone and halfway through the argument you realized you were wrong.
What was wrong with her being the same as always? It was his fault, like a child seeking love, constantly testing her, hoping to get her attention.
Initially, he was full of confidence and planned a month-long plan to win her heart, but it was shattered in an instant by the unfounded portrait. He became suspicious because he could not win her heart.
"I have wronged you in today's incident. I will reward you with the red jadeite, green jade, oriental pearls, and gold hairpin to make amends."
Xuan Ling withdrew his hand and said solemnly, "If you want to know why I have become so abnormal, come to the West Warm Pavilion after noon tomorrow and I will tell you the reason."
The Royal Guards followed him and left, and the yard suddenly returned to peace.
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang quickly helped Sheng Xiyan up.
"My lady, why don't you submit to the Emperor? Hey."
Sheng Xiyan entered the inner hall and sat on the couch. The two men massaged her knees and wiped the dust off her brocade skirt.
"Do you think I set up this situation today just to punish Dun Guiyuan?"
"Isn't it?" Meixiang was surprised.
Hua Xia offered the cold tea and speculated, "Could it be that the young lady is trying to appease the emperor?"
That night, Xuan Ling brought her back and searched for something in the palace. He didn't find it at the time, but the emperor was suspicious and must have buried it in his heart.
Today, I will use the tablet matter to search the palace to dispel his suspicions.
"My lady, go to the West Warm Pavilion tomorrow and have a good talk with the Emperor. The Emperor likes you and will definitely reconcile as before."
Sheng Xiyan agreed verbally, but she had a feeling that it wouldn't be that easy.
Reconciled? Ever since she entered the palace, she and Xuan Ling had never been truly inseparable.
When he was nice to her, he was very close to her.
Suspicious as present tense, far away.
My first acquaintance with Qi Yan was due to his arrow.
Report when in love,
Later, the arranged marriage
Xuan Ling knew the entire process very well.
All of them became the source of his suspicion and a thorn in his heart.
For the first time, Sheng Xiyan regretted entering the palace.
All the palaces were aware of this incident and secretly wondered whether Sheng Xiuyuan had fallen out of favor.
In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Shu said with a smile: "Xue Jieyu, oh no, now she has been demoted to Xue Wanyi. She does have some courage. Send her the Jade Cream and tell her not to be discouraged. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Although nothing was found in Guanju Palace, it has definitely planted a thorn in the emperor's heart. Sheng Xiuyuan's life will only become more difficult in the future."
Concubine Shu smiled flatteringly and said, "As much as Ah Yan loved Sheng Xiyan in the past, the Emperor is now as angry with her.
Does this little girl think that she can thrive in the harem just by being beautiful?
To survive in the harem, one must be heartless. Without a heart, there will be no weaknesses.
From the moment they entered the Forbidden City, women fought tooth and nail for the emperor's favor, seeking honor and status."
In Jingren Palace, Empress Duan drank a nourishing soup.
"The medicinal food prepared by Sheng Xiuyuan is quite effective. My appetite has improved a lot in the past few days."
Qing Dai took the bowl and said, "My Lady, do you think Sheng Xiuyuan has passed this test?"
Empress Duan thought of Emperor Xuanwu saying on the couch, "Yan Yan is doing well."
She had never seen that look before. "Why did the emperor give her the red jadeite and emerald green gold hairpin?"
Qing Dai speculated, "Isn't it to appease people? Is it to tell the six palaces that Sheng Xiuyuan is still the favorite concubine?"
Empress Duan asked, "Is Sheng Xiuyuan connected to the forces of the previous dynasty? Why should the Emperor appease her?"
Qingdai nodded.
"Sheng Xiuyuan, I will make good use of this person in the future."
The next day, around noon.
Sheng Xiyan went to the West Warm Pavilion.
Inside the hall, the scent of agarwood was still lingering, and a few new paintings and calligraphy by famous artists were hung on the walls. Xuan Ling had always liked collecting calligraphy and antiques.
There is a tall figure behind the jade screen with cloud and dragon patterns.
Sheng Xiyan walked straight over and knelt down to pay her respects, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health."
"Get up."
Xuan Ling's voice seemed a little hoarse and his nose was blocked.
Sheng Xiyan asked with concern: "Is Your Majesty suffering from a fever or a cold?"
"I'm fine."
The hall was unusually quiet, with a faint atmosphere of sadness.
The screen was very large. Sheng Xiyan reached out and placed her hand on it, then asked softly, "Why does Your Majesty want to meet with this concubine through the screen?"
"Because I can't see through you, it's like there's a screen between you and me."
"What can't the emperor see through?"
On the other side, Xuan Ling was staring at the beautiful figure behind the screen, her delicate hands covering the screen.
Because they were separated and he couldn't see each other's expressions, he wanted to ask her the truth.
"Sheng Xiyan, are you happy with me? I want to hear the truth."
A magnetic and hoarse voice drifted in the hall.
Sheng Xiyan hesitated. She knew she should answer very affirmatively because as a concubine she had to please.
But she was inexplicably driven to have a sincere communication with him.
"Your Majesty, I have admired you since I first saw you. It was no lie when I said my heart was pounding. But I don't know if this can be considered love."
After a long while, Xuan Ling said solemnly, "You are very honest."
He coughed a few times and continued:
"I give you ten days to give you an answer. During these ten days, I hope you can carefully examine your own heart. If you like me, come to Yangxin Palace. If you don't like me,
