==Chapter 34 Confusion==

With his hand held like this, Qin Juan didn't dare to sleep anymore.

She just felt that everything was abnormal.

The person next to me... also has something strange that cannot be explained.

Xiao Yu pinched his fingertips and whispered: "Can't sleep?"

Qin Juan said honestly: "I just woke up not long ago...I really can't sleep."

Xiao Yu turned his head and glanced at her.

Qin Juan said again: "If it delays His Majesty's rest, why don't I move to the Nuan Pavilion tonight?"

"No need." Xiao Yu paused and said calmly: "Since you can't sleep, then play a game of chess with me."

Qin Juan answered immediately: "But my concubine's chess skills are not good, so I'm really afraid of spoiling His Majesty's interest."

Xiao Yu patted the back of her hand and said, "It's okay. If you don't know how to do it, I'll teach you."

Qin Juan looked at ‌ with great fear.

I can’t figure it out for a moment, what exactly do I want to do tonight?

Does Xue Lanyi drive away ghosts or attract ghosts? Why does this person seem to be possessed by an evil spirit?

The emperor has spoken, and he has to obey.

After a while, Eunuch Sheng greeted the palace servants with a smile on his face and brought in the chessboard and hot tea.

Two people sat across from each other across the chess table.

Like many years ago, Xiao Yu gave Bai Zi to her.

Then he said nonchalantly: "I will let you make three moves."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Juan was slightly startled.

The scene from a long time ago was suddenly brought to front of my eyes.

Xiao Yu's chess skills are just like those of other people, profound and unpredictable, and he rarely encounters opponents.

So every time she played chess with him, she always failed miserably.

Can you play chess? The most interesting thing is the game process between you and me.

If he loses anyway, who is still willing to play with him?

She always vented her anger at night. She put her hand on ‌'s chest and asked him why he refused to let her take three steps.

And the man always clasped her wrist on her waist without any reason, and said with a smile: "Aling, don't make trouble with me, I am willing to admit defeat."

......

Qin Juan regained consciousness, took out three white stones, and slowly dropped them.

Xiao Yu then lost a son.

Playing chess does have its benefits.

Qin Juan's heart gradually became calmer. She squeezed the white pieces in her hand and thought about the strange man in front of her while thinking about what happened recently.

Since entering the palace, she has never thought of confessing her identity.

First of all, she really has no intention of rebuilding old friendships.

Secondly, she did not dare to gamble on the emperor's favor. Once she admits it, she will still be the daughter of the guilty minister. Even if she has feelings for herself, how far can that love go? There are 60,000 lives between us. Telling the truth is tantamount to putting the handle in our hands.

As for the third point, it is also the most important point.

There has been no news from Su Huaian and Su Jingbei.

Only when Empress Su dies and the Su family is destroyed, can the emperor feel at ease and treat Xiao Yun kindly.

The wrath of the past is still before his eyes. She returned to the harem in such an unbelievable way. What should the emperor think? ‌ Could she think that the Su family had another agenda and coerce her to force Su Huaian to show up?

She knew that collaboration with the enemy and treason was unforgivable, but she still desperately hoped that Su Huaian could survive.

She is careful and careful every step of the way. She is confident that she can live a stable life in this harem in the name of Qin Juan.

After all, Xiao Yu never believed in these ghosts and gods.

I remember that in the 38th year of Yongchang, the capital was in chaos and was surrounded by crises. She went to the temple to pray for him and asked her to wear the consecration bag, but he just said to her lightly at that time, "Aling, if If going to the temple to pray is really useful, then my royal brother and the emperor will definitely destroy the temples and Taoist temples in the capital."

"If you believe this, you might as well believe me."

She never expected that we would have those dreams.

The first time she dreamed about those old things from the past, she thought it was just a coincidence, but it was nothing more than three things. She could detect something was wrong, so naturally she could too.

With his temperament, once he becomes suspicious, he will definitely get to the bottom of it.

She has seen Xiao Yu handling cases, and she will not let go of any clues.

No matter how clean things are, there are always loopholes to be found. For example, when she bought an actor and returned home, there was quite a fuss. Those watching the excitement in Qingfeng Tower didn’t know who she was, but Zhuang Sheng was. Clear as day.

She was even prepared for Xiao Yu to catch Zhu Ze and April in front of her and ask her if they were spies.

She had already thought of the excuse to deny it to her death.

There is no absolute evidence for the theory of ghosts and gods.

However, ‌ did not do this.

If she was lucky enough to escape what happened to the palace, what about the palace?

The emperor has been having strange dreams again and again. Not only should he seek help from a Taoist priest immediately, but at the very least, he should go to another palace and sleep a few times.

Neither does ‌.

Thinking of this, Qin Juan finally realized what was strange about it.

A person like him, who doesn't even believe in gods and Buddhas, clearly doubts himself, but he doesn't go out of his way to check her. Every time he tests her, it's like... he wants her to admit it.

Yes, it's like waiting for her to admit it.

It’s even weirder now.

Even when the two of them were most passionate about each other, they didn't have the patience to coax themselves to play chess.

Have you really discovered it?

‌Is this deliberately luring her into taking the bait and making her relax her vigilance?

When she was puzzled, she suddenly remembered that when the Zhenguo Palace was ransacked, people said that the Su family's treasury had been emptied. As for where the treasury came from, she didn't know.

So maybe he is working for the treasury?

Her thoughts were flying wildly, but she was interrupted by the man's chuckle.

Qin Wen suddenly raised her head and met her smiling pupils.

"I told you to make three moves." Xiao Yu glanced at the chessboard and said, "But you are too unreasonable."

Qin Juan looked down and her cheeks turned red.

She took more than three steps, and there were white pieces everywhere on the chessboard.

The man opposite spoke again: "Just now, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Juan coughed repeatedly and said: "I, I, I have been frightened for the past two days, and I have been a little distracted... I hope your majesty will forgive me."

Qin Juan bit her lower lip and said, "Otherwise... we have to do it all over again?"

Xiao Yu rubbed his fingertips, as if thinking about her words.

‌ threw the chess piece back into the chess basket and said to her: "If you are tired, just rest."

Qin Juan should be the natural one.

She looked at ‌’s back and slapped her forehead regretfully.

The two returned to the couch again.

Qin Juan felt uneasy and still couldn't sleep. She thought it would be better to pretend to be asleep. If she didn't sleep, we wouldn't be able to dream.

If you don’t dream, you will be less suspicious of her.

She was motionless and breathing very shallowly.

However, half an hour later, ‌ turned over.

Qin Juan’s body froze.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "If you are really scared, how about moving to Jingren Palace?"

‌’s voice was still as cold as ever, but the words he spoke were tender, even for a wooden person.

The tenderness of an emperor, even if it is only for a moment, is something that many people can only dream of.

But Qin Juan was trembling all over because of the intense gaze.

Because she really couldn't guess what he was going to do.

When she was at a loss, a sentence rang in her ears. It was her father teaching Su Huai'an how to read military literature, and she heard it while she was eating grapes.

Su Jingbei said: "Jingming, always defending is not a good thing. Sometimes attacking is the best defense."

After saying that, her father hit her on the head with a book, "Aling, do you remember?"

Pretending to be unable to sleep, Qin Juan turned over and looked at him, her face showing the shyness that a concubine should have, and she cautiously called out to your majesty.

Then he continued his efforts, took another step forward, hugged ‌, buried his face in his chest, and whispered softly in a tone he had never experienced in his two lives: "Why does your majesty treat my concubine so well? ”

‌ Without pushing her away, he raised his hand and stroked her soft hair.

The man pursed his thin lips slightly and thought to himself: If you remembered everything and knew what happened later, you wouldn't think like this.

************

The next day, after Xiao Yu left, Qin Juan immediately lay back on the couch.

She really stayed up all night.

Just as I was about to catch up on my sleep, I heard Chang Ge knocking on the door and saying, "Jieyu, Concubine Xue invites you to sit down in Xianfu Palace."

Concubine Xue.

Qin Juan then remembered what happened yesterday.

Not to mention what Xue Lanyi had in mind, but she came to Jingyang Palace yesterday to do something, and it was true that she had no intention of harming her.

However, she fainted in front of everyone.

It happened to be when the emperor was questioning him.

Xue Lanyi has lost face. If she doesn’t find fault with herself today, then she is no longer Xue Lanyi.

Nowadays, Xiao Yu running towards her from time to time is enough to attract attention, but Qin Juan is not stupid enough to confront Xue Lanyi.

She turned back to the bronze mirror, quickly took out two brown-red bottles, and applied it to her eyes and lips.

Looking pale and weak, as if he could fall over if the wind blows.

Qin Juan said quietly: "‌Come in."

Chang Ge pushed open the door and walked in. He raised his eyes and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Jieyu?"

Qin Jing stood up tremblingly and said weakly: "I didn't want to give it to Concubine Xue after I got over my illness, but since the concubine invited me, I naturally couldn't refuse."
