Countless palace lanterns lit up the inside and outside of the bedroom.
The chamberlains and palace maids were dismissed, leaving only the King and the Queen in the huge palace.
The two of them leaned against each other and looked at the night sky outside through the window. They recalled the past, from knowing each other to loving each other, and the ups and downs along the way.
The king raised his hand to stroke a strand of white hair hanging down from the queen's sideburns.
my temples have already been dyed with frost.
"Do you hate me?"
The queen smiled." What are you complaining about? I chose you. Although I'm not the only woman by your side and I'm not the only one for you, I know that I'm in your heart. That's enough! You've already given me everything you can!”
" Yihe..." The King called the Queen's name. He remembered that he hadn't called her that for a long time...
He repeated it over and over again as if he was mumbling something. Other than these two words, he didn't know what else to say…
"Alright, it's already deep. King, go to sleep. I'll stay here with you!”
The king did not seem to hear him and continued to mumble," Yihe, if I leave, you must live well!……”
The queen still had a faint smile on her face. Her voice was low and gentle, but that smile and voice made people feel pain.
"If you're not here, this place will be meaningless to me!”
King didn't say anything else, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet.
The queen helped the king lie down, covered him with the blanket, and held his hand. She looked at him, at the man she had loved and followed for her entire life…
The high-spirited young man from back then had long since become silver-haired.
Time was like a knife, and every knife made one old! After the queen left the king's bedroom, a person sneakily came out from behind the screen. It was the maid beside the queen, Xiao Er. Her eyes turned, and she immediately tiptoed out of the queen's palace and went straight to the fourth prince's residence...
After seeing Zi Mu, Little Er told him everything she saw, afraid that she would miss out on any details.
Zi Mu's face was expressionless, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart…
" Your Highness..." Little Er hesitated, not knowing if she should disturb him, so she could only call out softly.
The letter turned around and said," You go back first and pay attention to the Queen's every move. Remember, don't mention this to anyone!”
Little E saw Zimu's serious expression and didn't dare to say anything. She turned around and left.
Zi Mu stood in the courtyard for a long time without moving. He didn't even know that it was drizzling in the sky, and no one dared to disturb him. After an unknown amount of time, Zi Mu closed his eyes…When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination, as if he had already decided on something…
★★★★★
Two months later.
Late at night.
In the back garden of the palace.
In a pavilion, a man and a woman were kissing each other, unable to part.
The man only let go of the woman in his arms when the two of them were panting and almost suffocated.
The man asked," How's it going?”
The woman raised her head, her face still red." Everything has been done according to Your Highness's instructions! Your Highness, will this work? If they were discovered…besides, could the Crown Prince come?”
Zi Mu snorted lightly and said," Don't worry. He said that the Queen is looking for him, so he will definitely come! As long as he comes…" Sensing the nervousness of the woman in his arms, he continued," Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Nothing will happen!”
Xiao Er was still nervous. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she hugged the man's waist tightly, as if she was seeking a trace of safety.
"Little Er, help me one last time. I don't need you to take risks anymore, okay?”
Little Er thought that the man loved her and would let her live the life of her dreams in the future. She raised her head and smiled seductively. She nodded and said," I thought Your Highness would do anything! As long as Your Highness doesn't forget what you promised me! After this is done…"
Before Little Er could finish her sentence, she felt a dull pain in her chest. She looked down and saw a dagger stabbed into her chest. The other end was held in Zi Mu's hand. The woman's eyes widened. She could not believe that the man who had just spoken to her so gently was so ruthless...
Zi Mu's cold voice rang out," Of course I remember. After the matter is done, I'll make you my concubine. However, you have to wait for your next life…Didn't you say that you were willing to do anything for me? This is the last thing!”
After saying that, he planted a kiss on Little Er's pale lips. At the same time, he pulled out the dagger with force. Bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing a large area of her clothes red. It was like a beautiful rose that bloomed quickly, so piercing that people could not open their eyes.
His body gradually lost its temperature and fell to the ground like a withered leaf in the autumn wind, waiting for the moment of death…
Zi Mu glanced at the woman on the ground, turned around, and hid behind a big tree at the side without any reluctance.
At this moment, Zi Zhao appeared at the entrance of the garden. His tall and straight figure stood in the hazy moonlight like a god.
Although he was puzzled, why didn't his mother look for him in his own palace, but in the garden that she rarely came to? However, the person who delivered the message was the Queen's personal maid, so she did not think too much about it and came as promised.
When he walked near the pavilion, he realized that there seemed to be someone lying on the ground. He quickly walked forward to check, afraid that something had happened to his mother. However, he did not know that a huge conspiracy was waiting for him, and danger had quietly descended…
