Dongfang Chen said, giving up a position sideways, and Su Lingshang walked out of the side hall behind him. Su Lingshang was also a little surprised to see Wushuang, and immediately saluted and said, "Empress."

The unshuang's heart is like the water in the ancient well in December, from cool to ice until it loses consciousness.

It turns out that you can't give your sincerity, because you will be hurt!

Wushuang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and Su Lingshang shrank under this gaze and leaned against Dongfang Chen imperceptibly.

No wonder I haven’t seen this girl, it turns out that she has come here! It seems that I am too tolerant of her!

It turned out that he swallowed the thoughts and Wushuang's eyes were slightly darker, and he said to Dongfang Chen: "Since you are so busy, I'll wait in the study."

"Wu Shuang..." Dongfang Chen paused and said, "The study room is boring, you go to my room and wait."

Wushuang responded irresistiblely, and did not look at the two of them again, and entered the room.

Wushuang sipped the tea in small sips. The tea was cold, which meant that Dongfang Chen had been in the side hall for a long time, otherwise there would not be no eunuchs who would have changed the tea in the bedroom.

The cold tea slid down the esophagus. Wushuang felt that his heart was also getting colder little by little. It was not because he didn't love or despair, but because Wushuang seemed to have regained his reason and was able to think calmly.

The door of the side hall was open, and they were neatly dressed and looked natural. So the two of them must have had nothing happened just now, and at most they were just chatting with tea.

What's more, if they had something just now, Xiao Xizi wouldn't let him go in and out.

Dongfang Chen soon came back. When Dongfang Chen saw Wushuang drinking cold tea, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the cup in Wushuang's hand and said, "The tea is cold, it's not good to drink it."

Wushuang stopped and asked softly: "Are you back so soon?"

Wushuang suddenly realized that her tone was sour, but she just wanted to express her doubts. Wushuang was a little annoyed, and he should be calm at this time.

"Yes." Dongfang Chen replied softly.

The two of them were speechless again.

After an unbearable silence, Dongfang Chen spoke: "I asked her to come. Ask some things, you-don't punish her."

Haha, I'm really careful, are you afraid of punishing her?!

As expected, I was a cruel woman in his heart!

Wushuang covered her emotions and looked down at her fingers. Her very beautiful fingers were slender and crystal clear, but there was no temperature at all.

"I don't know that investigating Su Lingshang will cause you to have such a big reaction. I just want to know what you want."

"Yes." Dongfang Chen nodded and responded.

"I'm wrong this time, I apologize." Wushuang paused, bit her lip, and whispered: "But I really want to know what I am in your eyes?"

Such a humble self is no longer like myself!

Dongfang Chen looked at Wushuang blankly, as if he didn't expect her to apologize to him. After a while, he came to his senses. Wushuang slowly raised his head, looking serious as he had never seen before.

She said: "Chen, I know you love Liu Qingyun very much. After all, she is the person you fell in love with for the first time, and it is also an indelible mark in your heart. I never thought of covering this mark, but I never thought of being a substitute for this mark."

Dongfang Chen was stunned and looked at Wushuang's unrestrained look, he felt his heart beating and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Wushuang continued: "Chen, since you pay attention to Su Lingshang, I have doubts whether it is because Su Lingshang and Liu Qingyun have similar appearances. Later, Zhuifeng's investigation confirmed this.

I don't mind you using her to remember a woman you once loved deeply. Everyone has their own secret corner in their hearts. You have it, and I have it.

I never regarded Su Lingshang—or Liu Qingyun—as an opponent I must defeat. I cannot compete with the dead, and living people will never compete with the dead. I don’t want you to misunderstand my attitude towards Su Lingshang because of this misunderstanding.”

Dongfang Chen nodded: "I know, you are not such a narrow-minded person."

Wushuang didn't know whether he should be relieved, so he said he was a generous person.

Forced myself not to think so much, but mechanically said the words I thought about countless times: "Chen, you said you love me, you gave me a lot, and I understand. So I believe you fell in love with me, but what you did made me begin to doubt myself. Are you really loving me?"

Dongfang Chen raised his head in surprise, thinking of course, but found that he couldn't speak.

Faced with Dongfang Chen's reaction, a trace of sadness flowed in Wushuang's eyes, but he insisted on finishing his words: "Chen, don't speak so quickly. What is the answer in your heart? You should look for it seriously. This is fair to me and Liu Qingyun."

Dongfang Chen pursed his lips and refused to speak.

"Chen, it's not easy for you and I to get to where we are today. I don't want our relationship to be ruined because of those false things!" Wushuang took a breath and calmed himself down, "Do you understand, Chen?"

"I... understand." Dongfang Chen nodded with difficulty.

Wushuang smiled, a little cold, but he remained calm after all. "We have broken through too many shackles and seemed a little confused... Chen, maybe we should all calm down and think about whether we... should really be together..."

"Wushuang, I just want you to know that no matter what happens, it cannot change the fact that I love you. Do you understand?" Dongfang Chen said powerlessly.

I don't know when the setting sun fell from the west mountain passed through the window frame and fell a golden mottled spot on Dongfang Chen's face. Under this golden light, those eyes were flickering.

After a long time of speechlessness, Wushuang slowly walked to the door in silence, opened a crack, but stopped. He seemed to have hesitated for a moment, but he still turned around and said, "Su Lingshang is not as simple as she seems. Chen, no matter what kind of feelings you have for him, I hope you can keep it."

When Wushuang returned to the Eastern Palace, Su Lingshang was kneeling outside the palace.

Wushuang looked at her coldly and walked in without saying a word.

This woman is definitely not a simple one. She can seduce Dongfang Chen quietly under her nose, and can quietly enter Dongfang Chen's Xingqing Palace. She can kneel on the ground and wait for her punishment in such a quiet and confident manner. I guess she will not punish her!

Kneeling so obviously makes me feel like I want to cover up the truth.

Bier whispered: "Empress, how should this Su Lingshang be punished?"

Wushuang sneered: "The emperor has pleaded with mercy, what else can I do? She will kneel down if she likes to kneel!"

Just as Wushuang fell asleep, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps and the curtain was lifted vigorously.

Dongfang Chen walked in and frowned and said, "Wu Shuang, I know you don't like Su Lingshang, but I've spoken. Don't you even give me my face? It's such a cold day, she kneeled outside and fainted from the cold and had a high fever!"

Wushuang was about to get up, but when he heard this, he sat on the bed.

She pulled out the candle and said coldly: "Dongfangchen, if I have the will to make things difficult for her, do you think she can live for so long? I don't want to explain anything else, let me believe it or not!"

The two were silent for a long time, and no one asked, "Dongfangchen, do you love me?"

"Love." There is no hesitation at all.

Wushuang stared at her eyes: "Love 'me', or love 'another her'?"

Dongfang Chen asked: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is." Wushuang slowly straightened up, his eyes were already calm, "I will not be a substitute for anyone."

Dongfang Chen said: "We should not think about these things. I will ignore Su Lingshang in the future. I will only look at you. Isn't it as bad as before?"

Wushuang asked back without answering: "Then will I let Su Lingshang 'disappear'?"

The depressing tranquility and the blue smoke are missing, which makes anyone's face misty?

Dongfang Chen closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, and walked out strode.

This time the two of them were truly in the Cold War period and had not seen each other for several days.

The disagreement between the emperor and the empress made the atmosphere in the entire harem become suppressed.

The Queen Mother lay on the wolf-skinned mattress, listening to Qian Ruo's reward, her slender armor scratched the enamel copper hand stove, and she kept coming.

After a while, he said, "Qianruo, what do you think of Su Lingshang?"

Qianruo thought for a while and said carefully: "I don't know, I only know that Liu Qingyun, who is like this."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and said, "It's not bad for her to come, so she won't let that person be favored by the emperor, but the Ai family also finds it strange. Just keep a close eye on her and don't cause any trouble."

"Yes, the Queen Mother!" Qianruo said respectfully.

Su Lingshang's illness has not yet recovered, and another big thing happened. She was suddenly assassinated in the middle of the night!

When the news came, Wushuang was shocked. Dongfang Chen was originally suspected of taking revenge on her, and he said what she had made her disappear that day, but I was afraid that he would be even more confused at this moment!

Before I could finish my thoughts, I saw Dongfang Chen walking in.

Wushuang said first: "I just heard that Su Lingshang was assassinated. Such a big thing happened in the palace, and it was necessary to check it carefully. Why not go with me to see how her injuries are?"

Dongfang Chen was stunned again and said dryly: "Yes, that's fine!"

The emperor and the empress also came to investigate the condition of a palace maid. This was a great honor. Su Lingshang lay on the couch, her face was pale, and she tried hard to get up, but Wushuang held it down.

The two sat on the side. Although Wushuang had no expression, she was always calm and composed. On the other hand, Dongfang Chen was very embarrassed. The two were still silent and relatively speechless.

Su Lingshang was injured only on her shoulder, and the wound was not seriously injured, but she was frightened.

Wushuang took a sip of tea and spoke first. After a routine concern, Wushuang asked: "When you were assassined that night, you could see clearly what the assassin looked like? Did you say anything? Have you ever had a grudge with someone?"

Su Lingshang thought for a while, bit her lip and said, "The assassin covered her face, I can't see her appearance, but he is tall, single and weak, and he feels like he is still a teenager, but his eyes are very cruel and terrible. After avoiding his first knife, I also asked him why he wanted to kill me. I didn't hear a few words clearly, so I fainted-" At this point, Su Lingshang couldn't help frowning, and looked more and more pitiful.

Wushuang frowned. Could it be that she deliberately made a plan to compete for favor?

Su Lingshang suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, Emperor, Empress, the assassin fell his dagger when he was fighting." As he said that, Su Lingshang took out a dagger from under the pillow.

The dagger was extremely sharp. Wushuang took it and looked at it. The dagger had no characteristics and no marks.

The three of them sat for a while, and said something or not, and everyone felt bored. Wushuang told Su Lingshang to rest for a few more days before saying goodbye. Dongfang Chen and Wushuang looked at Hao'er and Zhe'er together, and then said that they had a letter to be approved, so they went to the study room again.

Wushuang returned to the Eastern Palace, stepped back from the left and right, and took out a dagger to look at it.

It is not completely correct to say that this dagger has no characteristics. The hilt of the dagger is wrapped in high-quality cowhide, which is anti-slip and sweat-proof, and is not a material that ordinary people can afford. However, the blade is very thin and can easily cut hardwood without curling the blade. In addition, the dagger is in the shape of willow leaves, with a blood groove on the dragon ridge, which is the fast knife she discovered.

Wushuang frowned and said, "Chasing the Wind, come out!"

Zhui Feng heard the sound: "Master?"

Wushuang threw the dagger that Su Lingshang gave him in front of Zhuifeng and said coldly: "Give me an explanation."
