In the back garden of the Goryeo Palace, there is a gazebo made of high-quality mahogany, with a simple and elegant shape, surrounded by orchids.

The former king of Koryo bestowed the name "Wang Ran".

When Wang was young, he didn't like the desolation and helplessness implied by the word "Wangran", so he seldom went there.

Nowadays, he often retreats from the crowd and goes alone.

Autumn is getting stronger, and the cold orchids planted outside the pavilion have quietly bloomed, and the fragrance is mellow and long-lasting. Before you get close, you are already fascinated.

When the king came this day, there were already people in the pavilion leaning on the railing to enjoy the flowers.

That person's posture is free and easy, his figure is tall and handsome, it is Li Shang.

When Wang saw this scene, the words "a modest gentleman, gentle as jade" appeared in his mind for no reason.

"Sir, you are very elegant."

Li Shang turned around, saw that he did not salute, just smiled as usual, "I have nothing to do, so I went out for a walk, passed by here, saw the elegant and handsome flowers and leaves, and the mellow fragrance of the flowers, so I couldn't help but stop and admire them. This Hanlan is here It is rare in the Central Plains, how could you know that there is such a quiet environment in the back garden of Your Highness, it is worthwhile for me to come here."

Wang Ping was bound by etiquette and was tired of it for a long time. Seeing his free and easy manner now, he admired him a lot, so he didn't pursue his "faux etiquette".

"Indeed, this Wangran Pavilion is a rare and quiet place in the palace."

Wang looked at the elegant and unique Han Lan, and said quietly.

Since his rebirth, Hong Lin has been by his side almost all the time except for the early court. This was obviously something he could not have wished for in the past, but now it makes him depressed and restless, and he can only come here to enjoy a moment of tranquility.

"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?"

Wang sighed softly, "It's just that Mr. has traveled all over the world and can appreciate the customs and customs of various places. I'm just envious in my heart."

"The journey is lonely. If there is a chance, I would like to invite His Highness to travel together and enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers."

Li Shang said softly, with a solemn expression.

Wang couldn't help but smiled wryly, "I hope..."

I am afraid that I will be trapped in this resplendent cage for the rest of my life...

But... still not reconciled...

It would be great if I could escape from here...

Thinking of this, Wang suddenly had an extremely absurd idea in his heart, he looked up at Li Shang, "Mr. has exquisite medical skills, maybe you can make a medicine that makes people feel suspended animation?"

Li Shang has always been confident in his medical skills, and said with a smile, "Of course."

"Then, I have to ask sir to do me a favor..."

…………

That night.

dorm.

The candle flickered.

Hong Lin took off the jade crown that bound the hair for the king, and then combed it carefully with a jade comb, gently and carefully, so as not to hurt the man's hair.

The bronze mirror in front of the king reflected the handsome face of the man behind him.

"Hong Lin, I want you to do one thing."

Looking at the very close figures of the two in the mirror, Wang suddenly spoke.

The dim candlelight creates a warm atmosphere in the hall.

Hearing this, the handsome man with slender eyebrows and eyes showed a gentle and submissive smile, "But as His Highness orders."

"I want you to escort the queen back to Yuanting, and leave in three days."

Hong Lin's hand that was combing his long hair stopped, looked up in shock, looked at the king's face reflected in the bronze mirror, and said in disbelief, "Your Highness?!"

why?

Why such an arrangement, is His Highness testing him?

"The queen misses her homeland, but the journey is far away. After much deliberation, you are the best escort... I will feel at ease if you protect the queen..."

Wang closed his eyes, avoiding Hong Lin's sight, and said calmly.

"Your Highness, please withdraw your order. Hong Lin can do anything for His Highness, but this matter is difficult for me to obey."

Hong Lin knelt beside the king and said with a distressed expression.

Just let me stay by your side...why do you drive me away...are you still unwilling to trust me?

Wang opened his eyes, turned to look at him, looked at the panicked expression on his face, and smiled helplessly, "What are you doing in such a panic, I just want you to escort the queen back to Yuan, not to deport you."

"Then Your Highness wants to drive Hong Lin away? Can Hong Lin return to His Highness?"

"If you want to come back, of course you can."

I'm afraid that when the time comes, you don't want to come back...

Hong Lin still couldn't feel at ease. He held the king's hand and begged in a low voice: "But your highness... I really can't leave with peace of mind. There are many talents in Jianlongwei. If you don't choose other people to accompany you, I'd better accompany you." It's good to be by Your Highness's side."

Wang frowned slightly, why is this person so stubborn?

"With Mr. Li here, you don't have to worry about Gu's body."

"But……"

Hong Lin still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang.

The king looked at him, bent his lips and said with a slight smile, "With you on this trip, Gu and the queen can rest assured. Gu promises to you that if you do this well, the past will be void from now on. When you come back, we will start again. ,how?"

Hong Lin was fascinated by this familiar and gentle smile, and Wang's promise was so attractive to him, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"We're leaving in three days, you need to pack up quickly."

Hong Lin didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, leaned over, pressed a kiss on the king's lips, and said in a low voice, "Hong Lin leads the order."

My Highness, when I finish my mission, I will come back immediately, we will start again, and we will never be separated again.

It's a pity that things are unpredictable. In the days to come, Hong Lin regretted more than once, why he was confused by that person's smile, why he believed so naively that person would forgive him easily, why he didn't stay there people's side.
