"I don't know. I gave her the hairpin, and the Queen said she had something to do today and asked me to leave. I don't know what happened next. I really don't know if I went to see her for the last time." Yang Qingling
She spoke slowly, thinking it was interesting. The queen felt cold now, "Maybe she has seen her, maybe she hasn't."
"Get out." Di Qianao frowned.
Yang Qingling was so anxious that she almost cried, and said innocently: "I...did I say the wrong thing? I'm sorry, Emperor, if you ask me, I didn't dare to hide it, so... I just said it all."
"Get out!" Di Qian'ao lost his patience. Even if this person is suspected of provoking, can the Queen pick him clean?
When Yang Qingling came out of the house, there was a strange look in her eyes. Is there anything that could make the emperor more angry than the empress stealing someone?
Di Qianao then said to Haiyin: "Check where Xiao Yu and Luo Changan are."
Haiyin was startled, "Emperor, according to me, the empress will not go to see Xiao Yu, you must be at ease!"
"Check!" Di Qianao clasped his hands on his heart and his clothes, his heart ached again, "It's better if it's not in one place. Otherwise."
Haiyin had no choice but to ask someone to check. After a while, the results were found, but Haiyin clutched his stomach and refused to say anything.
Di Qianao slumped back in his chair and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Haiyin said: "I have a stomachache, and it hurts so much that I can't speak."
Di Qianao looked at him coldly, his face darkened, "Say."
"Bu Pavilion." Haiyin finally couldn't bear the high pressure and revealed the location.
"Is Luo Changan in Bu Pavilion, or is Xiao Yu in Bu Pavilion?" Di Qianao asked.
"Xiao Yu went to Bu Pavilion early in the morning to hand over some cloth and ready-made clothes ordered by the palace." Haiyin felt that the emperor's face was deeply disappointed, "The Queen just went to Bu Pavilion."
At this time, another soldier came to report: "Emperor, it's not good, a large number of people have died of the plague, and there are a lot of corpses floating in the Xichong River!"
"Excellent!" Di Qian Aoli stood up and overturned the dragon case in an instant, "This is the critical moment, Queen!"
In the impression, every time he was bothered by state affairs, the queen would do something to make him heartbroken.
Nowadays, corpses are strewn along the Xichong River. He really has no energy to worry about state affairs while dealing with personal emotional entanglements. He is extremely disappointed with the queen.
"..." Haiyin looked at the dragon table, which weighed several hundred kilograms, and thought that he would have to teach eight people to lift it up. It was so pitiful that it had been overturned by the emperor several times.
***
Luo Changan came to Bu Pavilion, and the shopkeeper Lin Ke came to receive her.
In the past, when the Queen was still a female official, he once gave him a slap on the shoulder. He never stopped eating the delicious food brought by the Queen. At that time, the past was a thing of the past. At this time, he no longer dared to talk to the Queen casually, only respectfully.
He said: "Queen, please give me your instructions."
"Has the lordship come today?" Luo Changan wanted to meet Liu Qin at this time. He came to the palace to set up the pavilion almost every day, but he didn't see him at this time.
"My lordship is not here today, it seems because Miss Qin Keqing always comes to Buge to look for him, and he won't come here very often in the past two days." Lin Ke said carefully.
Luo Changan nodded, it turned out that he was avoiding Qin Keqing, "In this case, then you can run some errands for me and go to the Duke's Mansion immediately."
Lin Ke immediately bowed and said: "Your orders."
"I have a list here, which is the number of pieces of cotton-padded clothes for men and women. You quickly give this list to the lord and ask him to prepare it quickly. He said that it was my order. He will let me know as soon as he has prepared it.
.In addition, if you tell the lord, just say that I have taught him to mobilize his connections, make friends in the business circle, and nobles in the community to donate generously, donate clothes, food, and silver, so as to help the people affected by the plague and tide over the difficulties."
"Yes." Lin Ke took the order and went to the Duke's Mansion, passing the Queen's original words to Liu Qin.
After hearing this, Liu Qin took the order and immediately replied: "I just went back to get back to the queen, leave this matter to me. I will live through fire and water without hesitation. When I am ready, I will inform the queen as soon as possible."
After Lin Ke returned to Bu Pavilion, he passed Liu Qin's words to the Queen.
Luo Changan's heart dropped halfway. She wished she could go bankrupt to help the emperor get through the difficulties. Her heart was agitated and uncomfortable. The emperor's words questioning her ability to govern in the early morning really made her feel distressed. She understood that he was in a difficult situation.
, It is not easy for one person to bear the entire world. As his wife, she is willing to share the burden for him.
She hasn't been able to come to the Cloth Pavilion for a long time. Now that she is here, she can't help but walk around and touch the cloth that she has been thinking about. She has put aside her hobby for a long time. She feels like it when she sees the cloth. When she enters the inner hall, she suddenly
It felt cool inside, and I couldn't help but shudder.
Aunt Mei saw that she was cold and knew that she had never let go of her father's mantle. It was reasonable to want to look around at this time. She had not seen such a pious craftsman look for a long time, so she only said: "I'm going back to Feng
I'll go and get you a cloak, and I'll be back soon."
"Well, let's go." After Luo Changan nodded, he entered the Bu Pavilion alone.
Seeing cloths of various colors hanging in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the games I played with my parents when I was a child. Her parents were on the other side of the cloth, and she hid on this side. When her parents came over, she slipped to that side again. It was easy to be happy when I was a child, that's it.
A simple game can keep you entertained for a whole day without any worries.
Luo Changan saw a piece of azure cloth with a high-quality pattern, which could be used to sew the emperor's new clothes for his birthday. The azure cloth scroll was placed on the cloth shelf. She reached out to get the cloth, and it happened to be on the shelf.
There was a slender hand holding the piece of cloth, and a few rays of sunlight came in through the window, making the hand dazzling.
Luo Changan lowered his head and looked through the grid, and saw an acquaintance.
The man also looked over and their eyes met. When they saw each other's face, they were both stunned.
It was actually Xiao Yu.
It's actually...Chang'an.
"Brother Xiao."
"Chang'an."
"Um."
"Is everything okay?" he asked again.
"all good."
Luo Changan was very surprised. She did not expect to meet Xiao Yu in Buge. She did not turn around and run away. She only felt that her heart was spinning over and over again. She didn't know where to start. Zhao Ge accused her of being ungrateful and burning bridges.
He rang in his ears again, and then he turned around and left, undoubtedly sending a knife into Xiao Yu's heart, and solidifying his reputation as ungrateful.
Xiao Yu took off the azure cloth, walked around the cloth stand, and handed the cloth to her hand, "You took it first, here it is."
Luo Changan didn't pay attention just now, but when she took a closer look, she saw the word "xiao" written on the label on the edge of the cloth. She said softly: "I haven't seen this color before. It's very eye-catching. Is it new?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "New one. Do you like it?"
"It's appropriate to make clothes for Jin Shang." Luo Changan lowered his cheeks, made his position clear, and finally sent a knife to his heart.
"Well, the jade trees are facing the wind today, and the color... suits him perfectly." Xiao Yu faintly clasped his hands under his sleeves, feeling so sad, "Go back quickly, don't delay too much, let people see you and me together,
A life of turmoil.”
Seeing that he was still thinking about her, Luo Changan couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, "Brother, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's all in these three excuses."
"Chang'an, you are not sorry for me. What's wrong with you? Why did you apologize suddenly?" Xiao Yu smiled warmly, "Brother Xiao is very good. He has a happy marriage, a virtuous wife, and a prosperous business. There is nothing wrong with that."
Luo Changan knew that he was pretending to be strong, so he couldn't hold it back, his eyes turned red, "Zhao Ge came to see me. I know everything. You...have a disease of vomiting blood and your body is broken."
Xiao Yu frowned and said warmly: "Zhao Ge is just making a fuss out of a molehill. Look at my brother, how do you look like a patient? Ah, by the way, the plague has been prevalent recently and the country is in crisis. As a businessman, you can't just make money and not contribute to the country.
, Brother Xiao prepared tens of thousands of clothes and hundreds of thousands of gold anonymously and sent them to the national treasury for emergency response in the disaster area, and also to help you and the emperor share some of your worries."
When Luo Changan heard this, he realized that he was still trying his best to help her. He felt really uncomfortable and said: "I have never wanted to burn bridges across the river. You are not a trouble or a scourge, and I don't want you to die immediately. Brother, I have never wanted to burn a bridge."
He's the elder brother. I hope you are well. You must be gentle. My sister has her own life, and you should also have your own."
"Well, don't worry." Xiao Yu nodded: "Everything is fine. Leave quickly. No more talking."
Luo Changan nodded and planned to walk towards the door.
When Xiao Yu saw Luo Changan's back fading away, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and something salty fell from his lips. He quickly covered it with a handkerchief and held his hand on the cloth stand without making any sound.
Luo Changan walked a few steps and felt something was wrong, so he turned around and saw that Xiao Yu's face was pale and he could barely hold on, so he said urgently: "Brother!"
When she came close, Xiao Yu couldn't support his whole body and fell down. She was forced by him to lean on the cloth stand. She held his arm to make him support her.
"Chang'an, brother, I will never forget you." Xiao Yu looked at Luo Changan's beautiful face and couldn't control his emotions. There was a streak of bright red blood on his pale lips. "I have tried all the methods. We got married, and we didn't stay together."
I keep the so-called chastity, but... I still can’t forget you. I’m sorry.”
"No, no, I'm sorry. I was just using you from the beginning, and I started to mess with you and then gave up. It's my fault."
"If my brother is willing to be a little boy for you and help you relieve the boredom of the harem when the emperor is busy, are you... willing?" Xiao Yu suddenly changed from his usual gentleness and became aggressive.
Luo Changan shook his head, completely shocked by this proposal. He actually completely gave up his male dignity for her, but she couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept it from anyone except her husband. She didn't need to keep a male concubine.
"Brother, I'm not even worthy of giving you a baby..." Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, describing him as pitiful.
"It's not unworthy, it's just ridiculous..." Before Luo Changan could say the ridiculous words, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening before he could say the next words.
Bang.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Luo Changan looked towards the door and saw the emperor standing there with a cold face and tired face, his eyes filled with despair.
