The setting sun sinks into the horizon.

The small courtyard in Shuanggui Lane was lit up with lights.

The wooden bed in the main room has been removed and replaced with a canopy bed made of mahogany, leaning against the inner corner with a light blue mosquito net; there is also a dressing table with a vertical bronze mirror in the window.

The west wing has also changed. All the old furniture has been thrown away and replaced with brand new desks, large beds, and chairs.

After Ye Jingtang hurriedly tidied up the room, he sat down at the desk facing the window and looked at the moon outside the window. He still had not recovered from the "gangster's excitement punch" in the afternoon.

After learning a set of boxing techniques, I basically figured out Sanniang’s measurements, and I didn’t even know if I was learning boxing techniques or ‘learning a foreign language’.

But boxing and kicking skills are like this, and physical contact is inevitable. It is not appropriate to say that Sanniang did it on purpose. After thinking about it, I can only say that Sanniang did not treat him as an outsider.

The courtyard was very quiet, and the birds were very interested in the new bed. They rolled back and forth on it, grabbed the soft blanket, made a small nest next to the pillow, and lay in it with their paws facing the sky to feel it.

After sitting alone for a long time, a sound finally came from the alley:

"Master's wife, why are you walking so slowly?"

"Oh. I was thinking about something. Your cousin is back..."

…

Ye Jingtang retracted his thoughts and looked up. Xiao Yunli wearing a bamboo hat ran in first. After scanning the main room, he quickly ran in, his eyes full of surprise:

"Cousin Jing, why did you buy us such a big bed? And a dressing table..."

Luo Ning stepped in and saw him at the window. Her face turned cold and she turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Ye Jingtang came to the yard and looked at Yunli who was curiously looking at the canopy bed:

"Like it?"

“It’s not bad, it feels like it can sleep three people.”

After Zheyunli looked at it with satisfaction for a moment, he looked at the scroll hanging in front of the canopy bed:

"This painting comes with the purchase of the bed? It's so insincere..."

"Don't take it! This is a calligraphy treasure given by the imperial court."

"ah?!"

Zhe Yunli looked at it carefully again and nodded thoughtfully:

"I was mistaken just now. This fine brushwork is really impressive..."

?

Ye Jingtang felt that Xiao Yunli was also a flatterer. He came to the kitchen, looked at the unhappy Luo Nuxia, and asked:

"Is something wrong?"

There must be something wrong with Luo Ning, and it's something big!

Today she secretly ran to Wende Bridge, found Mrs. Wang, and asked how often she should recuperate her body.

Mrs. Wang's answer was quite straightforward - just adjust it if you have time, and if you can't stand it, just let him hold it in.

What does this mean?

She was paralyzed twice yesterday, does that mean she was paralyzed once a day?

Can't get through this day?

Luo Ning bit her lower lip lightly, not daring to tell the 'bad news' to the little thief. She just looked at the pile of black ashes behind the stove.

Ye Jingtang followed and looked at it. He didn't pay attention at first, but when he looked closely, he felt something was wrong - this black ash looked like burned paper...

Burn paper...

?!

thunderbolt--

A thunderbolt flashed through Ye Jingtang's mind, and his whole body collapsed instantly. He walked slowly behind the stove and squatted down. He raised his hand and looked at Luo Nuxia innocently:

"You're not going to burn the book, are you?"

Luo Ning was not so stunning. After leaving the house in the middle of the night, she read alone in the room.

As a result, the little thief in the book was flirting with the chivalrous girl, and when the chivalrous girl woke up, she didn’t even deal with the thief!

This is completely unreasonable as written.

Luo Ning felt something was wrong, so she scanned the back using the quantum reading method, and found that they were all disgusting erotic pictures! She didn't dare to take a closer look, and immediately wanted to throw the book away.

But the thief said it was too serious to damage the books, so she could only find a random book and burn it, then hid "The Tears of a Heroic Woman".

Seeing Ye Jingtang's eyes full of heartache, Luo Ning snorted softly:

"So what if it's burned? You shouldn't read that kind of book that's not on the table."

Ye Jingtang used a wooden stick to dig through the ashes, but couldn't find even a small piece of paper. He opened his mouth, feeling helpless.

"?"

Luo Ning was stunned when she saw this scene, and thought to herself: Even if I really burned it, I was also burning this erotic book. How could you be more devastated than "The Singing Dragon Picture" was burned?

"Night Terror Hall?"

"Oh...I'm fine. Books can't be resurrected, so just burn them. I don't blame Nuxia Luo."

"..."

Luo Ning didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a moment, turned around, opened the cupboard, took out the books wrapped in black cloth, and threw them directly to Ye Jingtang, her eyes slightly cold:

"Since this book is so important to you, just go to bed with the book in your arms."

He said and walked out of the room without looking back.

?!

Ye Jingtang realized something was wrong and advised:

"That's not what I meant. This book is the only one from the previous dynasty..."

"what book?!"

Hearing the commotion, Zhe Yunli walked out of the main room, but Luo Ning, who was afraid that her daughter would imitate her, directly pulled her arm into the room, and the door slammed shut.

Ye Jingtang's words also stopped abruptly. He looked at the silhouette on the window paper, spread his hands slightly, and returned to the house...

——

Inside the Imperial City.

The moon rises above the branches, the palace doors have long been closed, and Chen'an Palace has become quiet.

From the window, you can see the beautiful Queen Mother, standing in front of the painting desk with a paintbrush, carefully sketching the picture.

Hong Yu was wearing a men's black robe, with a knife hanging on her waist, and a small parrot raised in the palace standing on her shoulder. She was standing in front of the screen as a model, with a very innocent look in her eyes.

Although the parrot and the snow eagle look very different, to the freehand Empress Dowager, the difference is not big.

Dongfang Liren was like a respected teacher. After observing the Queen Mother for a while, he felt that there was nothing to see and did not dare to say anything. He came to the window and stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the waterside pavilion in the distance.

Outside the window, the stars and the silver moon fall into the Minglong Pond, and there are no lights in the waterside pavilion.

From the window, you can vaguely see a woman in red, sitting alone in the waterside pavilion. She carries an aloof aura as if she were the ruler of the world, which makes people feel that it is offensive to look at her from afar.

When Dongfang Liren saw his sister practicing martial arts, there was a trace of envy from the bottom of his heart in his eyes, just like watching Ye Jingtang practicing martial arts.

Her elder sister was the opposite of her. She was mediocre in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her talent in martial arts was outrageous. Because the martial arts in the Wei Dynasty was at its peak, her father and mother had favored her more since she was a child.

She considers herself to be quite talented, and she must be a little jealous, but compared with a talented person like her sister, it is like the Queen Mother comparing her painting talent with her. Even though she has worked hard to practice martial arts since she was a child, she is still getting further and further away from her sister.

She thought she would only be under her sister in her life, but she never expected that a night terror would appear in the capital, and in just a few months, it would fall on her again in the form of a heavenly being, without any understanding of the world.

It's so hard to ridicule her...

As for who is more powerful, her sister or the Night Terror Hall, she is not sure. Currently, she feels that her sister is more powerful. After all, as a woman, her sister has sat on the throne that only men can sit on since ancient times.

Since ancient times, countless monarchs have destroyed their countries due to their immorality, but there are only a few monarchs who have been forced to remove themselves from the palace.

Because in order to protect themselves, the monarchs of the past dynasties would select a good youngster with extraordinary talents, keep him and teach him since he was young, and let him practice the collected dragon drawings.

There was also such a person in the Wei Dynasty. Because the Yan Dynasty destroyed the country, the "Crying Dragon Picture" was lost. This person was a young eunuch in the previous palace. He had practiced four pictures of the "Crying Dragon Picture". He was only twelve years old. He defended the palace alone and covered the escape of Emperor Yan Gong.

.

After her grandfather captured the young eunuch, he did not kill him, but moved him to show his affection and reason, and made him loyal to the Wei Dynasty on the condition of treating the Yan royal family well.

The young eunuch agreed and became the "Guardian Eunuch Cao" of the Wei Palace. When his grandfather passed away, he would protect his father, and when his father passed away, he would protect the emperor's eldest son.

Eunuch Cao was the anchor of stability for the monarch of the Wei Dynasty. If his sister wanted to usurp the throne, Eunuch Cao would naturally become a natural chasm that could not be crossed. Even if the eldest son of the emperor was opposed by the courtiers for his eagerness for quick success, and his sister had the support of his relatives, as long as Eunuch Cao did not fall, the emperor would not be able to cross.

The eldest son can still advance and retreat freely, and if he cannot defend the palace, he will flee to the territories under the jurisdiction of the kings.

At that time, she was about to be married off to the enemy's country, Beiliang, and she was desperate. She was ready to hide her name and abscond. How could she have imagined that when she woke up one morning, she would become the king of the Wei Dynasty, and she would no longer have to worry about being controlled by others.

These things only happened that night ten years ago. Outsiders only knew that the court officials impeached the emperor's eldest son and made him abdicate. They did not know what happened in the palace that night and how many people died; even she did not know what happened to her sister.

Do this.
