Since the beginning of autumn, the weather in Zhou has remained warm.

When the weather was good, Su Su would fumble around in the cold palace. There was nothing in the cold palace, and the magical power of Qingshihua in her blood was getting less and less.

Magatama became her eyes, guiding her along the way and preventing her from stumbling and falling.

Qingshihua destroyed her body and made her thinner and thinner.

Nowadays, the pink white dress looks a bit empty on her body, and her waist is extremely slender.

There are many willow trees in the palace. In her free time, Su Su would go out of the courtyard of Leng Palace and break a few branches. When she came back, she would sharpen the willow branches to form an array.

To create the true divine essence, she had to inject Yin energy into the Qingshi flower.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but whenever she goes to cut willow trees at dusk, she always encounters gossipy palace servants talking about the recently favored Mrs. Zhaohua.

"Your Majesty is also very kind to Mrs. Zhaohua. I heard that in the past few days, there has been a steady stream of rewards sent to Mrs. Zhaohua's palace."

"Have you not heard that His Majesty personally took care of Mrs. Zhaohua's illness?"

"Xiao Shunzi made a mistake a few days ago, and His Majesty was furious. Madam begged for mercy, and Your Majesty immediately stopped being angry."

"Even the treasures sent by Shiguo, His Majesty used them to please Mrs. Zhaohua!"

Their laughter passed through the cold palace separated by a wall and penetrated into Susu's dark world.

Su Su heard them mentioning herself——

"Then what do you think your Majesty means to Leng Gong?"

"She, I heard that His Majesty hated her with all his heart when he was in Xia Kingdom. Now he keeps her just to torture her."

"But she almost became a queen before."

Someone sneered and said: "She is blind now. If Your Majesty really likes her, why don't you give her any treasure? I tell you, it's too late for Your Majesty to hate her."

Su Su held the willow branch and didn't know what she was thinking.

The autumn wind blew her plain dress, and she held on to the palace wall and walked back slowly. Willow branches can attract Yin energy, so she crossed her legs to attract the Yin energy from the cold palace into the world-famous flower in her left eye.

Yin energy entered her body, making her shiver with coldness and her skin turned pale.

Day after day, Su Su gradually got used to it. The yin energy entered Qingshihua, and her eyes no longer bleed frequently.

She knew she was about to be freed.

One night, she sat by the well and washed her clothes.

Magatama suddenly said: "He's coming."

Su Su paused and continued washing. Tantai Jin arrived silently. He didn't let anyone follow him, nor did he carry a glass lamp. He just watched her from a distance.

Emperor Xuanyi watched coldly as the thin girl finished washing her clothes and walked past him holding a wooden basin.

It was quiet and dark in the cold palace, and she seemed to have gotten used to it. She walked familiarly by the well without anyone's support.

She looked calm, and her black and white eyes didn't seem to be invisible at all.

The girl didn't seem to notice him. Seeing her about to walk into the house, Tantai Jin subconsciously followed a few steps.

When he realized what he was doing, he stopped, turned around and walked away.

Magatama said: "He left."

If it hadn't been for Magatama, Su Su would never have known that he had been there.

Six Soul-Destroying Nails were pierced into his heart, turning him into a bone-chilling person. If he was still slightly out of control, it would be an attack of Susujie Spring Silkworm every two months.

He would always sneer and force her to beg for it.

When their skin was touching, he would occasionally lose control and couldn't help but look at her blankly. However, only for a short moment, Tantai Jin would return to being cold and cruel.

When he came, Su Su thought she didn't know what to do.

If she had expectations for him before the Flower of Eternal Life, now her heart was barren, with not even a blade of grass growing.

She counted the days and waited for cloudy days and cloudy hours.

In November, there will be a palace banquet in the palace soon, and Ye Bingshang's body has almost recovered.

The eternal flower entered her body, and her wounds were flawless.

Xiaohui helped her dress up and looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror. She couldn't help but admire: "My wife is getting more and more beautiful. Who would have thought that the eternal flower can even cure my wife's chronic illness."

Now Ye Bingshang's lips looked red and her teeth were white. She stroked her face and showed a gentle smile.

Xiaohui said happily: "Recently, Your Majesty has been busy clearing away the remaining culprits of the Eighth Prince, and soon the Kingdom of Zhou will be completely at peace. Madam, do you know that there will be a banquet in the palace in the next few days, and that day is actually a special day."

"What special day?"

Xiaohui came close to Ye Bingshang's ear and whispered a few words. Ye Bingshang's face instantly turned red and he looked at Xiaohui angrily.

Xiao Hui said: "My slave is right. Everyone says that this is the best day to ask for a child. Everyone in the Zhou Kingdom believes this. Madam is in good health now. As long as you keep Your Majesty by then, you will definitely have a little prince in the coming year."

."

Ye Bingshang said: "You are such a talkative girl. It's because I didn't think carefully. I should have married you off long ago!"

Before the palace banquet started, Xiaohui dressed up Ye Bingshang, and Ye Bingshang went to look for Tantai Jin.

It was an unlucky time for them to go. Tantai Jin hadn't gone to the banquet yet, but he was talking to someone under the plum blossom tree.

Ye Bingshang took a look, and it seemed that he was the man responsible for hunting down one of the eight princes. Tantai Jin always relied on capable ministers, and this man was promoted quickly. Tantai Jin had the intention of cultivating his confidants.

He has a very young and handsome face. About half a month ago, Ye Bingshang met this man, whose surname seemed to be Qi.

At that time, Mr. Qi was full of high spirits, but now the man in official uniform had a lifeless look in his eyes.

Tantai Jin looked at Qi Mo coldly: "Have you thought about it? Do you really want to resign?"

Qi Mo kowtowed: "I am in vain for Your Majesty's love."

He took off his hat, but his lips had no color at all.

Seeing that he couldn't keep anyone, Tantai Jin said calmly: "Go away."

Qi Mo stood up and left. When he passed by Ye Bingshang, he didn't react, like a walking corpse.

Tantai Jin stood up to attend the palace banquet. Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Bingshang had no choice but to follow him silently.

Amidst the sound of strings and strings, the young man in black clothes paid his respects and watched the singing and dancing on the field with indifferent eyes.

Ye Bingshang called him twice, but Tantai Jin didn't respond.

She knew that Tantai Jin's thoughts were not here. Was it Master Qi? She thought to herself, what did Qi Mo say?

She had a bad feeling in her heart. She dressed up carefully today. When she went out, Xiaohui said that she was more delicate than flowers. She even carefully selected the fragrance on her clothes.

Ye Bingshang has been in the Zhou Kingdom for more than half a year. Although everyone in the palace said that she was favored, she knew the truth better than anyone else. She was afraid that Tantai Jin would not be able to retain him tonight, and the little tyrant was very sharp and ruthless.

When she was sure of it, she didn't dare to play tricks on him at all.

Tantai Jin didn't know what Ye Bingshang, who was sitting next to him, was thinking. It was rare that he was so distracted.

Qi Mo's words about resigning made him frown.

He has his own rules. Qi Mo has participated in too many of his plans. If he wants to retreat now, he will have to leave half his life.

However, Qi Mo resigned resolutely, ignoring the opportunity to rise to prominence.

No, it should be said that he resigned out of despair.

Tantai Jin knew very well about Qi Mo. After all, he had to know a person thoroughly before he could trust him.

A year ago, during the war between the Xia and Zhou Dynasties, Qi Mo was still a junior captain and had made many meritorious deeds and made outstanding achievements on the battlefield.

During the Battle of Cangzhou, Qi Mo led troops to ransack his home, killed members of a family, and finally secretly hid the fifth lady of that family.

Qi Mo liked her at first sight. The girl was also very fiery and wanted to kill Qi Mo all the time to avenge her family.

There was no war in the girl's eyes, only this Shura-like man who killed her family and robbed herself.

What made her most angry was that Qi Mo had a family background before he met her.

Miss Shen Wu tried to kill Qi Mo several times, but in the end he saw through her. She was just a weak girl, and Qi Mo finally forced her into taking her as his concubine.

Qi Mo's methods were vigorous and resolute. Miss Shen Wu disobeyed him several times and deliberately made the family uneasy. He felt sorry for her, but he could not help but get angry.

Mrs. Qi also didn't like this vixen who fascinated her son, so she took advantage of Qi Mo's absence and worked with Qi Mo's legitimate wife to tease Fifth Miss Shen.

Qi Mo repeatedly encountered obstacles with Miss Shen Wu, and simply looked on with cold eyes. As time went by, he found that the thorns in Miss Shen Wu's body were gone, and he also looked down upon him and became pleasant-looking.

Qi Mo was very happy about this for a while, and he doted on Miss Shen Wu even more. He stayed in her room every night and gave her whatever she wanted.

This year, Qi Mo gave birth to a son.

Everything seemed fine until last night, when Qi Mo was ordered to encircle and suppress the Eighth Prince's rebels. Miss Shen Wu set a fire and burned herself and her youngest son to death, as well as Qi Mo's mother and daughter-in-law who were trapped in the old house. wife.

Qi Mo's relatives died completely, and Miss Shen Wu made him feel what it means to have a family broken up and a family to be destroyed.

Qi Mo was heartbroken and decided to resign.

Tantai Jin could see that this courtier with good means had no business in his eyes. Even if he didn't take action, Qi Mo would not survive this winter.

The sound of silk and bamboo was hard to hear, and the soul-killing nail on his heart began to hurt.
