[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

"You mean...to quit smoking?" Hongli looked at Heshen in surprise, "But this blessing/shou balm comes from a foreign country, it is expensive, and it is said to have the effect of strengthening the body and calming the mind."

He Shen responded: "Indeed, Fu/Shou ointment itself can be used as medicine, but if you smoke too much, you will become addicted. Although opium can make people feel like they are in a dream in a short period of time, But in fact, it is the culprit that makes the human body crumble."

Seeing Heshen's serious face, Hongli ordered, despite his doubts, "Present Heshen's bong."

Hong Zhou's bong is different from ordinary bamboo bongs. His handle is made of rhinoceros horn, the cigarette butt is covered with gold, and the gold is also inlaid with clear sapphires for decoration.If placed in modern times, it would be a priceless collection.

He Shen pointed to the blackened cigarette holder, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, look at this cigarette holder, it has been blackened by tobacco ointment. I must have been smoking opium with the prince for a long time, and I have long been addicted. For the sake of your health, it is better It’s better to quit earlier.”

When Hongli heard the words, his face was solemn and he remained silent.

He Shen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, opium is really harmful, even in the future..."

Hongli said in a deep voice, "What will happen in the future?"

"The scourge of the society in the future, my majesty." He Shen replied.

Seeing Hongli's fierce gaze cast over him, He Shen gritted his teeth and said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, please go with the slave, and the slave will prove it to the emperor."

He Shen led Hongli to the door of Hong Zhou's room, but instead of entering the door, he cut a hole in the screened window, and He Shen looked into the house from the hole.When Hong Zhou woke up, he called Hong Li to see it.

"He Shen, come down quickly, how can you be so sneaky." Hongli said angrily when he saw He Shen lying on the window looking excited.

"Hush!" He Shen made a quiet gesture to Hongli, and said softly, "Your Majesty, come and take a look."

Hongli shook his head with a stiff face.

He Shen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Prince and Prince are awake. The slave promises that he won't be able to make it through a cup of tea, and he will look everywhere for the pipe in the slave's hand."

Hongli gave He Shen a suspicious look.He is the proud son of heaven, and the teacher in the palace told him to act aboveboard since he was a child.He had never done a peep like this before.

However, Heshen's swear words made him curious again. Hongli looked around to make sure that no one jumped up the steps just now, and Heshen led him to see the situation in the room.

He Shen looked at Hongli's actions and couldn't help laughing for a while: "Don't worry, the emperor, the slaves have sent all the servants away, the emperor can watch with peace of mind."

Hongli looked in from that gap, moved slowly to adjust the angle of view, and He Shen said from the side: "Your Majesty, turn to the right, yes, turn to the right."

When he said this, he completely attached to Hongli's ear.The air exhaled from his mouth brushed against Hongli's ears, making Hongli move his body unconsciously.

He Shen noticed that Hongli's ears were red, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, are you hot?"

Hongli was embarrassed, turned around and shouted: "Shut up, stay away from me."

It was only then that He Shen realized that he was almost stuck on Hongli's back. As a purely gay, this posture really made people imagine.

He touched his nose in embarrassment, and stood down the steps politely.Hongli felt that there was no one behind him, so he concentrated on watching Hongzhou's every move in the room.

Hong Zhou opened his chaotic eyes, and subconsciously groped beside the bed.At the beginning, the movements of his hands were still careless, but after a while, he realized that the bedside was empty, and he suddenly panicked, his pale lips tremblingly murmured: "Where are my cigarettes, give me a fire...give me a bong..."

Seeing that there was no one answering, the voice suddenly rose, almost shouting: "Come here, light a fire for me...cough cough cough...you want to... light a cigarette."

After shouting this, Hongzhou lost his strength and fell on the bed panting heavily.Seeing no one answered for a long time, the hoarse voice revealed a strong sense of impatience: "Where are people? Where did they die, and they all ignored the words of the master, right?"

After waiting for a while, it was still quiet outside the house, with no footsteps at all.Hong Zhou's addiction to cigarettes also started to kick in, and he collapsed on the bed limply, unable to even raise his hand to call for someone, gradually tears and snot began to come out.Hong Zhou's breathing became more and more rapid, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't even have the strength to turn over.

Hongli's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the horror he saw.He covered his mouth and backed away again and again, as if there was an evil ghost chasing his life ahead.Standing at the bottom of the steps, He Shen quickly supported Hongli, but was staggered by Hongli's footsteps, but he dared not let go of his hands, and the two fell to the ground on their backs together.

Hongli only felt that he had fallen on the soft cushion, and he didn't recover until he heard a cry of pain from behind, and hurriedly got up from He Shen.

He Shen supported his waist, frowning in pain.Hongli had him as a cushion, but He Shen fell firmly.

While being angry, Hongli stretched out his hand to him: "Is it okay, I was negligent."

He Shen took Hongli's hand, and said angrily: "I said, can you see your feet clearly, this will cause..." Halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the emperor, let alone a meat pad Well, even if this crushed him, he couldn't complain.

Hongli was taken aback when he heard the words, and then watched with interest several expressions on his face.Hongli had never seen such a bewildered Heshen, a man who was a servant at every bite, and he was always meticulous in his work.It was rare to see him change his face, and Hongli found it very interesting.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of objects breaking came from the room.Hongli hurried back to the window, looking at the fragments of porcelain on the ground, Hongli's face was completely dark.

He Shen rubbed his waist and limped up the steps.Another loud noise in the room startled him, followed by Hong Zhou's furious roar: "Are they all dead... I said give me smoke, give... me... smoke..." The heart-piercing Coughing sounded, He Shen saw that the time was almost up, so he rushed to Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, I have fallen into a cigarette addiction with the Prince. This is still the same as it was at the beginning, and it will be more painful than it is now after a long time."

Hongli listened to the movement in the room with an unprecedentedly heavy expression on his face.

He Shen said again: "The time has come, and the slave will follow the emperor into the house. People who are addicted to cigarettes have no reason at all. Please remember: first, be careful of the dragon's body, and if you become irritable with the prince, it is very likely to hurt others; No matter how much you plead with the prince, this servant begs the emperor not to soften his heart, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

Hongli hesitated for a while, then nodded.Only then did He Shen push open the door, let Hongli into the room, and then followed him in.

Hong Zhou was losing control, when he suddenly saw Hong Li, like a man who was about to die of thirst seeing a source of life-saving water, he cried, "Brother Huang, you are here, brother Huang, where is my pipe...cough cough... I don't know which damned servant took away... my brother's bong, brother emperor, go and help me get the bong back."

Hongli looked at his weeping younger brother expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Fifth brother, opium is very harmful to the body, quit it."

Hong Zhou was stunned, and forced a smile: "Big smoke is a good thing, have you tried it, Brother Huang? My brother promises that Brother Huang will know its benefits as long as you try it once. ah."

He Shen raised the bong in his hand, and when Hong Zhou saw it, his dim eyes lit up instantly, and the changes before and after made Hong Li inexplicably think of a word—return to light.

He Shen stared at Hong Zhou, and said word by word: "My lord, are you looking for this?"

Hong Zhou nodded his head like a rat, and was so excited that he couldn't even speak: "Yes... yes... this is it, hurry up, give it to the master, and the master will reward you very much."

With a slight smile on He Shen's face, he approached Hong Zhou step by step, but stopped suddenly when Hong Zhou was about to reach for the bong, and uttered words that drove Hong Zhou almost crazy: "If... I don't give it?"

Hongzhou leaned forward to the extreme, but still couldn't reach the pipe, and said angrily, "Then I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

He Shen turned his head to look at Hongli, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Don't give it to him." As soon as Hongli said, He Shen felt a hand firmly holding the cigarette stick in his hand.Hongzhou's bone-like hand had great strength, and He Shen was caught off guard for a while, and the pipe was almost dropped.

With a violent tug, Hong Zhou collapsed on the side of the bed, lifeless at first glance.

He Shen patted the hem of the official uniform, and said softly, "My lord, it's not that the lower officials don't want to give you the bong, it's because the emperor doesn't allow it. The so-called ruler is the leader of the ministers, and the lower officials really have no choice."

Hongzhou then turned his gaze to Hongli, with a sick longing hidden deep in his eyes, coupled with the filth on his face, made Hongli feel a little unbearable.

Hong Zhou seized the right time, and said with a rage: "Brother Huang, I'm in pain. Brother Huang, save me, I'm so uncomfortable."

Seeing Hongli's eyes flickering, He Shen hurriedly called out softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

He Shen's voice made Hongli, who had almost let go, swallow the words that came to his lips.

Hongzhou wailed for a while, seeing that Hongli was unmoved, he immediately became angry, and his begging turned into a scolding: "Brother Huang, you are so powerful! Ninety-five lords, above ten thousand, how many lives are yours A matter of one sentence... just one sentence... I'm free... You are good, watching my ugly appearance, torturing me, and insulting me. Fourth brother, my good fourth brother, you have long wanted to do this Right. You are very happy to see me like this now."

Seeing Hongli's expression changed, He Shen said coldly, "My lord, no matter how noble your status is, you are still the emperor's servant."

Hong Zhou glanced at He Shen, and said with a sneer, "Heh...you're just a watchdog, and you're teaching me a lesson, what are you?"

He Shen suppressed the anger in his heart, even though he knew that Hongzhou had lost all reason at the moment, he still annoyed He Shen with the watchdog sentence.

He put the luxurious bong on the ground, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Prince, do you want to? If you want, please crawl over by yourself."

With a greedy gleam in Hong Zhou's eyes, he actually got up from the couch, and when his hands were about to touch the ground, He Shen smiled and said, "My lord, only beasts can walk on four legs. Tell me, who the hell is going to walk on four legs?" Is it a dog?"

Hong Zhou seemed to have never heard of it, struggling to get out of bed, the livid emperor finally shouted: "He Shen, that's enough."
