love palace

The palace lanterns are shining, and the red carpet is on the floor.Two bronze cranes stood with their heads held high on both sides of the red sandalwood open-carved and cloud-patterned bed, holding Ganoderma lucidum grass in their mouths, and constantly exhaled a delicate fragrance as sweet as lotus stamens.

In the dreamlike and magnificent bedroom, six eunuchs kept shuttling back and forth, waiting for the prince to change clothes and wash his hands.Afterwards, another six court ladies brought hangover soup, brocade handkerchiefs, mouth bowls, etc., and asked the prince who was resting on the pillow to take it slowly, then rinsed his mouth and cleaned his hands. After seeing the prince and his clothes, they quietly withdrew .

Only the prince and Ke Weiqing, who was on duty silently outside the gauze tent, were left in the huge bedroom.

The dark night was so quiet that there was no sound at all. In the first half of the night, there were insects chirping, and now only the beating of Ke Weiqing's heart was left.

It had been a long time since he had been on duty for His Highness the Crown Prince. Ke Weiqing was quite nervous even when he was excited. His palms were sweating. He wiped his sleeves lightly, but heard coughing from inside.

"Your Highness?" The brocade tent embroidered with gold and silver patterns moved, and Ke Weiqing hurried in, and saw Huang Ye stretching out his hand, as if he wanted to grab the white jade cup on the table beside the bed.

"Here, Your Highness, drink slowly." Ke Weiqing picked up the water glass for him, and brought it to Huang Ye Banqi's lips.

Maybe it was because the wine was strong, Huang Ye's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his cheeks were slightly red, and the breath he exhaled was also extremely hot.

"...Mmm." Huang Ye didn't open his eyes, relying entirely on the touch on his lips, he held the rim of the cup and took a few sips.

Ke Weiqing supported Huang Ye's shoulders and asked him to lie down again. He also took the brocade handkerchief beside him and gently wiped the sweat from the prince's forehead.

"Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach? I'll call the imperial doctor." Seeing that the hangover soup didn't help, Ke Weiqing couldn't help feeling a little worried. He straightened up and was about to summon the maid, but Huang Ye slowly opened his eyes.

Her dark and moist eyes were as deep as midnight.Under the reflection of the palace lantern at the bedside, the prince's eyes moved like the brilliance of the moon, exuding an intoxicating aura.

Ke Weiqing was dumbfounded by his half-dream and half-awake expression, or the jet-black hair flowing on the golden pillow.

For a moment, Ke Weiqing actually forgot what he was going to do, and just stared at Huang Ye on the bed with wide eyes.

"..." Huang Ye suddenly supported the mattress with both hands, as if he wanted to sit up.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Ke Weiqing leaned forward and helped him up.

But... those two hands left the bed, climbed onto Ke Weiqing's thin shoulders, and tightened their fingers like iron tongs, pushing Ke Weiqing down on the bed.

"Huh?!" Instantly, the world spun, and the whole person fell deeply into the quilt that left the prince's warmth. Ke Weiqing wanted to struggle, but the pain that was about to split immediately came from his shoulder, which made him pale, and he kept breathing.

Huang Ye bent over him, her hands refused to relax, her gorgeous black hair hung down, and the light of the palace lantern suddenly became dim.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...it's me." Ke Weiqing was so frightened that his lips lost color. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince was drunk and misunderstood him as an assassin?

"..." Huang Ye seemed to be muttering something, but Ke Weiqing couldn't hear it at all, only his heavy breathing and frantic heartbeat were ringing in his ears.

"Your Highness, I'm not... huh?" When he was about to speak again, Huang Ye gently kissed his lips.

Ke Weiqing was dumbfounded by the soft touch, this——what is this?He blinked, trying to figure out the situation at the moment, Huang Ye finally let go of one hand, but instead clasped Ke Weiqing's chin.

After using irresistible strength to stabilize the person who was trying to escape, Huang Ye's kisses were no longer polite, and the wet and hot tongue forcibly invaded his lips, repeatedly agitated the palate, and then curled up the panicked tongue, wanting to taste the delicious food Lick and suck in the same way.

"Woo... umm!"

Ke Weiqing grabbed the prince's arm with both hands, but he couldn't pull it away.The lower jaw was forced to lift up, the lips were crushed and stinging, and the tongue was also twisted and rubbed, making it hard to separate!

The obscene sounds of lips and tongues mingling constantly filled his ears, which shocked him endlessly!

"Um...!" When the gums were licked forcefully, Ke Weiqing shuddered from the soles of his feet, and tears filled his eyes instantly, blurring his vision even more.

"—Hmm!" The heart was beating violently, and Ke Weiqing's bewildered consciousness began to become hazy.

Just when the lust was burning, Huang Ye suddenly stopped, panting lightly... asked in a low and hoarse voice, "You...why are you here?"

"Qing, Qingyun...!" Ke Weiqing wanted to say that Qingyun asked him to stay, but his teeth trembled uncontrollably.

"Go down!" Huang Ye sat up, his consciousness seemed to be fully awake, and said coldly, "Go to watch outside the palace."

"Yes, yes!" Ke Weiqing nodded hurriedly, and almost rolled out of the bed, her knees hurting from knocking.

"It's just..." Huang Ye spoke suddenly, and Ke Weiqing stopped.

"It's nothing, let's go." Is it possible to explain to him that because I was drunk and couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, that's why I pressed him on the bed and kissed him?Saying this would only scare Ke Weiqing even more.

"Yes! This subordinate will leave." Ke Weiqing was like a frightened fawn, not daring to raise his head.

"Wait a minute."

"...?"

"Just here. Since Qingyun ordered you to stay on duty overnight, I won't arrange for other people." Huang Ye pointed to the outer room separated by a screen.

"Yes." Ke Weiqing didn't dare to cry or resist orders. After wiping away the tears, he went outside the screen.

"Only tonight." Huang Ye looked at Ke Weiqing's profile through the gap of the delicately carved screen and said, "You can go back to the Tai Hospital tomorrow."

Ke Weiqing seemed to be nodding his head, but Huang Ye vaguely saw that the moment he turned his face away, a drop of crystal fell down.

——It’s just that I drank too much, so I had a sexual dream.

In the dream, it was Ke Weiqing who was bathing by the river, wearing only obscene clothes.Since it's a dream, it doesn't matter what you want to do, right?Huang Ye's reason seemed to be burnt out, after grabbing Ke Weiqing, he began to kiss and caress him crazily, whether he wanted to or not.

It wasn't until the desire rose between his legs that he realized that this was not a dream, and then he realized that the person under him was indeed Ke Weiqing, but he was not on the river bank.

The same mistake happened twice, can it still be regarded as just an "accident"?

Huang Ye pinched her forehead in deep regret.His head hurt so badly that it felt like it was about to explode, but his chest was even more heavy, making him unable to breathe.

"I didn't want a male favorite, so I kept him by my side." Huang Ye murmured, and forced himself to forget the burning sensation just now.

But in the end, he couldn't calm down. Even though he was lying on the comfortable bed, he didn't sleep all night.

※※※

The cold wind is howling, withered leaves and branches, it is already late autumn.No one expected that after the emperor's birthday banquet, there would be endless northern wars.

The Tianqi Kingdom dispatched [-] strong soldiers, and in just one month, they successively captured the two northernmost cities of Lingchi and Tianchi, and invaded southward along the Golden Gou Pass.

Although Dayan's soldiers and horses were fighting bloody battles, they still lost to Tianqi's surprise attack and retreated steadily.The enemy's front is already pointing at Liucheng, if it is not protected, Qingzhou will have no natural barriers, and the enemy will drive straight in, and they will reach the water and land hub of Dayan, Lihe.

The military situation is extremely urgent, Chunyu Wen can't sit still any longer, and decides to go to the army himself!

Tianqi Kingdom's actions were obviously out of revenge for being defeated by Dayan and killing the prince eight years ago.Therefore, there are enough soldiers and horses, careful planning, rejection of all peace talks, and the momentum of vowing to destroy Dayan.

A month later, Emperor Dayan's iron cavalry and King Tianqi's soldiers finally met in Qingzhou. They fought for three days, and finally fired rockets and iron bombs across the moat, and both sides lost more than half.

But after all, Dayan had a mighty general named Zhao Weiguo, who escorted the emperor out of the siege, and regrouped near Lihe, ready to go, another bloody battle was about to start...

When the battle in the rear was inextricably linked, a bloody storm was brewing above Dayan's court.

When the emperor went to war, the prince naturally had to act as an agent of the government, but the queen mother wanted to listen to the government behind the curtain on the grounds that "the prince is inexperienced"!

Of course, Huang Ye would not allow the Queen Mother to intervene in politics without authorization, but Prime Minister Li Duo had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and even joined the civil servants to play together, imploring the Queen Mother to come out to discuss matters.

He also said that now that Dayan is facing the invasion of the great enemy, it must be united from top to bottom.

Chunyu Huangye wears a seven-color glazed crown and a light yellow dragon robe, sitting on the gilded Kowloon throne with extraordinary majesty.Facing the criticism from the officials, he just smiled coldly, and said: "Thanks to the trust of the emperor, I will handle all the important affairs of the general and government. The ministers will definitely be promoted to ranks and double their salaries. But... treacherous and reckless people will have their entire family beheaded and the nine clans will be wiped out."

When Huang Ye said this, his dagger-like gaze swept across Li Duo, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Is this still the prince who sticks to the rules and never says a word?Li Duo thought that Huang Ye was introverted by nature, so he was easy to suppress.

It seems to be the nature of an official to bully the weak and fear the strong, and follow the wind to make the rudder. Li Duo naturally did not dare to confront the prince when he saw the prince's power, and was defeated in despair.

Huang Ye also said that the Empress Dowager is old and weak, she needs to rest in the deep palace, otherwise he is unfilial.They also allocated a bunch of court ladies and eunuchs to serve the queen mother in the harem, which is actually for surveillance.

The Queen Mother had never suffered such humiliation before, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and slapped a few cases and shouted, "It's the opposite! It's really the opposite! A little grandson dares to put the old ancestor under house arrest!"

Unable to swallow this breath, she even disguised herself as a peasant woman, slipped out of the palace in the middle of the night to meet the eldest prince Yaozu secretly through the spring gate for water delivery.He asked him to gather his family and servants, cooperate with her inside and outside, and rebel against her.

Yaozu had already touched his nose at the emperor's birthday banquet, and he was already full of resentment, when he heard the emperor's grandmother mention it, he immediately applauded!

The emperor was not in the palace at this time, and the heavy troops in the imperial city were not allowed to be dispatched at will. Only the city gate army of less than [-] could be dispatched by the prince.The queen mother has more than [-] trusted soldiers and horses, plus [-] servants of Yaozu's family, a total of [-].

There are also several courtiers who have made friends with the queen mother in private, and they also secretly made suggestions. Finally, they wrote a blood letter, vowed to form an alliance, and called on the subjects to crusade against the prince on charges of "mediocrity" and "being the queen of the enemy's country".

However, it will take time for the soldiers and horses of the brigade to assemble. The Queen Mother first returns to the palace to deploy, and when Yaozu gathers all the warriors, they can easily attack.

Ten days later, bad news came from the northern battlefield. Although Dayan's army won a complete victory in a surprise attack on Tianqi, Emperor Wen suffered heavy injuries and was bedridden. Zhao Guowei quickly escorted him back to Beijing.

Huang Ye intentionally suppressed this news, but the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager still knew it. They believed that this was a godsend opportunity. If the emperor died, Chunyu Yaozu, the eldest son, should succeed him, so they made intensive preparations to attack the city. early morning of the day.

In the middle of the night, the sky was as dark as ink, but the residence of the eldest prince Yaozu, a two-entry private house, was brightly lit.

The servants are moving the collected armor and weapons into the hut one after another, covering them with haystacks.The leader of the guard who originally guarded the prince had long surrendered under the coercion and lure of the queen mother.

In this way, no matter what the prince is doing inside, they will not ask a word, and they will also hold spears and act as the people who let the wind go.

No matter how things are going on outside, Yaozu stays in the house drinking alone, his four wives and concubines, and one son have all been sent away, he is alone and has no worries.

People in the world say that drinking can strengthen one's courage, Yao Zu swallowed a bottle of peach blossom red, but he was still uneasy.He took out the blood-signed parchment scroll from his bosom again, and examined it one by one from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing, the servant of the Ministry of War, would also be willing to help him!Calculated in this way, there are already [-] soldiers. Wouldn't it be easy and easy to capture Huang Ye, who is weak and weak?

"In the future, this king will be the emperor of Dayan." Yaozu murmured to himself, his mouth full of alcohol, and the majestic picture of himself wearing a yellow robe and proclaiming himself emperor appeared in front of his eyes.

"Whoosh."

The lantern hanging in front of the door suddenly fell to the ground and caught fire. There was a lot of dry firewood piled up in the yard, and the servants were very busy carrying water to put out the fire.

Yaozu pushed the latch and opened the door, but he just stood on the threshold and looked outside, seeing that the open fire had been extinguished, he was sure that there was no serious problem, so he went back into the house, at this moment, there were more bright rooms one person!

The visitor was in black clothes and black shoes, only a pair of eyes were exposed, Yaozu stared into those black eyes in surprise and annoyance, he always thought he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember.No matter how many there are, Yaozu immediately drew out his sword, wanting to take down this person, but in the blink of an eye, that person disappeared?

"Didn't he hit a ghost?" Yaozu was thinking sweatingly, when a sharp sword pierced his throat from behind, blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, splashed all over the table, and the candlelight was extinguished.

The man in black drew out his sword, watched Yaozu fall to the ground with cold eyes, and gradually died, then picked up the sheepskin scroll on the table and put it in his sleeve.

Then he performed lightness kung fu, flew over the beam, and quietly came to the roof.The yard was full of people, you came and went, but no one noticed that there was an assassin on it.

In an instant, the slender black figure disappeared into the night without a trace.

※※※

The mountain peak was already covered with a layer of pale fog, but the sun hadn't risen yet. Huang Ye stood on the towering turret with his hands behind his back, staring at the still dark east.

"Your Highness." Suddenly, a black shadow dexterously flashed in and knelt behind Huang Ye.

"Back?" Huang Ye turned around and looked at the man in black on the ground.

"Yes, Your Highness." Hei Ying pulled down his mask, revealing a handsome and fair face, it was Ke Weiqing.

Ke Weiqing raised his head and stared at Huang Yedao, "The empress dowager and the eldest prince Yaozu conspired against each other. The evidence is convincing. My subordinates have found a book of alliance with the seal of the phoenix and the signatures of the officials."

"Bring it up." Huang Ye said lightly.

Ke Weiqing immediately handed over the eyelid scroll in his arms respectfully, with some blood still stained on it.

"In addition, my subordinates discovered that there are more than a hundred armors hidden in the hut of Yaozu's house. If we search now, we will definitely get all the stolen goods."

"Well, I've already sent Qing Yun." Huang Ye turned over the scroll, but his expression remained unchanged, as if these people had already been expected by him.

"Yes, Your Highness is wise."

"Thank you for your hard work tonight..." Huang Ye supported Zhu Hong to lean on the railing with one hand.A ray of bright red brilliance shines from the other side of the mountain. It is dawn and everything is waking up.

"...It's time to clear up the traitors." Huang Ye said, his face glowed with a strange brilliance, and he was very heroic, and the sheepskin scroll was held tightly in his hand, almost torn.

"Miss Wei."

"The subordinates are here."

Huang Ye wanted to say something, but closed her resolute lips again.

"Your Highness?"

"It's nothing, you go back first." Huang Ye said coldly, enjoying the beauty of the sunrise again.

"Yes!"

Ke Weiqing kowtowed and retreated, Huang Ye finally ordered him to do something, but it was killing people.He thought he would be afraid and hesitate, but when he thought that the other party wanted to kill Huang Ye, he raised his sword without hesitation.

It's just that there was still a strong smell of blood on his body, which made him feel a little nauseous, so he hurried back to the Tai Hospital.

As soon as he entered the hut in the north corner, he took off his night clothes, hid his sword, fetched hot water, and jumped into the half-person-high bathtub in one breath, submerging his shoulders.

The heat was steaming, and Ke Weiqing kept wiping his limbs with a damp cloth, especially his hands. There were obviously no marks, but he always felt that he smelled blood.

The feeling of the sword cutting on wood is so different from that of cutting on a human body!The hardness of the bones, the tenacity of the flesh, and the beating of the pulse can be clearly felt in the palm of the hand, which makes the scalp numb with horror.

For a moment, Ke Weiqing wanted to shake off the sword in his hand, but what he held was not just a sword, but a life!

However, Ke Weiqing clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, even though the knuckles were already turning white, Ke Weiqing refused to let go of the sword, instead he stabbed deeper with the sword to let Yaozu die as soon as possible.

...Piercing the throat is obviously the fastest and most accurate method, just like a wild beast tearing the neck of its prey, leaving the opponent defenseless.

And this is the unparalleled swordsmanship that the crown prince taught him.

Ke Weiqing covered his head with both hands, forcing himself to forget the scene of blood on the table, then took a deep breath, and sank to the bottom of the water...

※※※

Before the emperor returned to the palace, Huang Ye's chilling action had already started rapidly.The [-] Imperial Forest Army infiltrated every corner of the imperial city, ransacked their homes and arrested them according to the roster.

According to the alliance letter of the rebel party, nearly 30 officials, big and small, were sent to a prison car without exception.

The mastermind Yaozu was murdered, and his head was hung on the drum tower of the imperial city. After being exposed to the sun for three days, he was thrown into a random grave.

The empress dowager, who had rebelled several times and got away with it again and again, fell down completely this time.The phoenix seal on the treason letter and the evidence given by the Minister of the Ministry of War made her unable to refute, so she could only plead guilty and submit to the law.

Huang Ye didn't take her life, but demoted her to a commoner and expelled her from the palace.For the pampered and domineering queen mother, this is no different from killing her.

"Huang Ye! You are so hard-hearted, there will be retribution in the future!" The old queen abused endlessly until she was kicked out of the palace by the Imperial Forest Army...

These days, no matter how bloody and rainy it is outside, Ke Weiqing is still an apprentice in the imperial hospital making medicine and making soup.

The imperial physicians, as usual, treated the masters of the harem and took medicines. In their spare time, they would read medical books and learn.

However, what is different from the past is that every imperial doctor's face has a more dignified look. First, it was the news that the emperor was seriously injured, and now it is the empress dowager's rebellion with the eldest prince. These are all privately. talk.

"Have you heard?" An imperial doctor whispered to his colleagues, "Yaozu's wives, concubines and sons were all killed..."

"Really? Didn't you say you escaped early?"

"Where can I go? The one who suppressed the rebels was Qing Yun, the leader of the cavalry. Once he went out on horseback, he would never stay behind."

"But that's what the prince meant..." The other imperial doctor fell silent as soon as he finished speaking, because he saw Ke Weiqing.

In the past, everyone didn't take Ke Weiqing seriously, saying that Ke Weiqing was a young prince, but an adopted son.Everyone knows that Prince Ke's mansion regards Princess Shuolan as the apple of their eye, and they ignore and ignore the prince.

But as the prince eliminated dissidents, his power became stronger and stronger. Ke Weiqing, who was once the guard of the prince's palace, became a special existence in the imperial hospital.

No one dared to offend him, and no one dared to get close to him.

Only Doctor Yang, who was over [-] years old, still let Ke Weiqing do things as usual.

"Wei Qing, please send this bowl of herbal tea to the Prince's Palace." It was mid-winter, and as usual, Imperial Physician Yang prepared some ginger herb tea to dispel the cold, and ordered Ke Weiqing to deliver it.

"Yes." Ke Weiqing nodded, and headed for the Prince's Palace with the soup and medicine box in his hand.

※※※

Huang Ye was playing chess, at this time, all the ministers thought that he would urgently invite them to the court to discuss matters, because Prime Minister Li Duo's backer, the Empress Dowager, had been removed, and now was the best time to bring him down.

Several ministers lingered outside the study of the East Palace. When Ke Weiqing saw them when he entered, he saluted them, and then walked inside with the box.

The inner court eunuch wanted to take it, but Huang Ye said, let Ke Weiqing go in.

"See Your Highness, this is the ginger grass tea that Doctor Yang ordered me to send. Take it to keep warm." Ke Weiqing reported, and still brought the tea to the eunuch. The eunuch took out a silver needle from his sleeve, stuck it into the bowl, Seeing that it is non-toxic, it was presented to the prince.

"Ginger herbal tea..." Huang Ye looked at the bowl of amber-colored decoction, and couldn't help but think of how many years ago, the elder brother Yaozu asked the little eunuch to put arsenic in the same herbal tea, but he saw through it.Now, there is no need to be wary of Yaozu's minions anymore.

"Miss Wei."

"The slave is here."

"Hehe." Huang Ye suddenly laughed, still as beautiful as a fairy.

"...?" Ke Weiqing stared blankly at the prince.

"You will also call yourself a slave..." Huang Ye raised his eyes, stared at Ke Weiqing under the jade case, and said softly, "Get up and play chess with me."

"Yes." Ke Weiqing got up flattered and came to the chessboard, not daring to sit on the same level as the prince, so he could only play chess with his bow.

Although the plate is full of Baizi and Heizi, it is obvious that Baizi is exhausted, but Heizi is grinding slowly, pushing Baizi into a desperate situation bit by bit.

Ke Weiqing held Baizi in his hand, and naturally wanted to fight back with all his strength. Just as he was concentrating on thinking, the prince asked softly, "Do you hate me?"

"what?"

"I stained your hands with blood." Huang Ye was staring at Ke Weiqing's slender fingers with black eyes like midnight.

"Your Highness..." Ke Weiqing put down the chess pieces, plopped down on his knees, and said very seriously, "I will never blame you for the rest of my life."

"Really? But from now on, as long as you stay by my side, you will kill more people."

"As long as it is Your Highness's enemy, I don't mind having blood on my hands, and I don't mind losing my life!" Ke Weiqing had never dared to look straight into Huang Ye's eyes like this.

"But I don't want your life." Huang Ye put down a sunspot, unexpectedly killed the sunspot, and brought Bai Zi back to life.

"Your Highness?!"

"Back off. With your words, I am satisfied." Huang Ye finally showed a shallow smile again, watching Ke Weiqing until he knelt down and left.

A few days later, the wall collapsed and everyone pushed it down. The civil servant group represented by Li Duo was almost wiped out, and the Queen Mother's party would never recover.
