Ten years of dedication to the king

Manduo, in fact, is considered handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a chiseled face.It's just that his eyes are too sinister, especially when he squints to look at people, he feels that he can swallow people's bones into his stomach just by turning around, and there is not even scum left.

It is said that he already has one concubine, three concubines, male concubines, seven male concubines, and countless male favourites. Among them, there are many who are snatched and then left out in the cold.

At this moment, Man Tuo was sitting under the main seat, next to the emperor, drinking delicious grape wine, waiting for the good show that He Lan said when he opened the banquet.Not long after, everyone was drunk to five points, and they lost the restraint they had when they first started the banquet, and became lively.

He Lan called Xiao Linzi to bow his head and give some instructions, Xiao Linzi understood and immediately turned around to give instructions.Turning his head again, he saw He Lan looking at Man Tuo with special meaning, and Man Tuo seemed to realize something, sat up straight with interest, saluted the wine glass in his hand to He Lan, and looked up. Down.

Suddenly heard the sound of guqin in the hall, accompanied by the ensemble of pipa and flute, a group of dancers slowly entered the hall, wearing white long-sleeved gauze gowns, all of them were delicate and beautiful, so that everyone present couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they even picked up the dancers. I forgot to put down my wine glasses.

The last thing that appeared was a man in bright red, a fit and close-fitting red dress with a large neckline deliberately revealing a pair of slender collarbones and fair skin below the neck. Standing in the hall with black riding boots and a long sword in one hand, the silver light flashed and the red shadow jumped, moving with the sound of drums.

That person was none other than Chu Xiran who agreed to perform the dance.

His redness stung He Lan's eyes for the first time.

Seeing Mantuo staring at Chu Xiran's eyes, for a moment he regretted letting that person's beauty bloom in front of everyone.

Naturally, Chu Xiran did not ignore the meaningful fluctuation in He Lan's eyes, but what he cared more about was the scorching heat in Man Tuo's eyes, the desire to almost strip him was so obvious.

Seeing He Lan Ruoming again, a thought flashed in Chu Xiran's mind, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and scolded him 180 times in his heart.

But the dance still had to continue, he tried his best to carefully conceal his emotions, but from time to time there was always a fire in his eyes that drifted towards He Lan, and the stubborn and unyielding eyes became an indelible touch of affection in He Lan's heart in the future, and he could not for a long time. wave away.

To dance sword dance well, there must be softness in the toughness, and power in the softness. Although it is a solo dance, it is not lacking in majesty.

At this time, the supporting dancers had already left the stage, and Chu Xiran was the only one left in the center of the red carpet in the hall. He swung his long sword and his waist was shaking nimbly. In the meantime, the sword and spikes are both hard and soft, changing in many ways. In the rapid dance, they turned into rays of light accompanied by the sound of rumbling drums, shocking everyone in the hall.

Finally, as soon as the drum beat stopped, the whole dance ended in the rotation of "Yanfeng Taiwu". The shadow of the sword in Chu Xiran's hand was like the ripples on the surface of the river and the sea, gradually returning to calm.

"Okay, okay! It's really like a thunderbolt to absorb the wrath, but it's like the river and the sea to condense the light!" Man Tuo couldn't help but stood up and clapped his hands, which pulled everyone back to their souls, and applauded in succession.

After dancing to the song, Chu Xiran put away her sword and stood up straight, panting her chest to adjust her breathing, then cupped her fist with one hand, lowered her head and said: "The concubine is showing her shame."

This time he did not forget.As He Lan thought about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Man Tuo took a deep look at Chu Xiran, then turned back to He Lan Ruoming and teased, "Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a beauty hiding in the harem!" Everyone could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in those words.

"Prince congratulations! Xiran, why don't you come over and toast Prince Manduo!" He Lan glanced at Chu Xiran, and sure enough, he was staring at him, and suddenly he thought of the raccoon cat that his mother and concubine loved the most when he was a child. , the same is true, always looking at me lazily when I call it, but not moving.

"Xiran!" He Lan emphasized his tone, and Chu Xiran had no choice but to move towards him.

He actually called him Xiran.This was Chu Xiran's first thought after he came to his senses. Resisting the urge to roll his eyes at He Lan, he walked up to the seat of honor and bowed to salute, then took the wine glass handed over by the eunuch, and said to Mantuo, "Chu Xiran Prince toast!"

Before Man Tuo returned to him, he drank it all by himself, then turned the glass backside down, looked at Man Tuo and said, "Not a drop left, is the prince satisfied?"

After all, he blinked at Mantuo on purpose, and then turned his head to look at He Lan coquettishly. He was originally famous for dancing!His cheeks suddenly became more enchanting during this moment of lowering his eyebrows, and he bowed slightly, saying: "Your Majesty, my concubine is too weak to drink, and I am a little tired, I want to go back and rest first."

"Certainly, let's go to the back compartment and rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After standing up, Chu Xiran turned slightly to one side, and gave He Lan Ruoming a hard look from a place where the mantuo could not see. Those black eyes were not even a bit soft at the moment, but they were full of desire to pinch her. The look of a dead man.

He Lan couldn't help laughing out loud, Xiao Linzi hurriedly poked him, and then he straightened his face, watched Chu Xiran retreat, turned his head again, and saw the mandala prison as expected. Staring at the direction where Chu Xiran was leaving thoughtfully, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, because he knew that the game had been laid out, and he was waiting for someone to fall into the trap.

The dance was over, but the emperor refused to let him go back to Lijingxuan, but instead wanted the eunuch to take him to the back room to rest. He knew what the emperor was planning with his toes?

However, I was really exhausted, and the injury on my knee was not healed yet, so after such a vigorous dance, my legs were already in pain, so Chu Xiran casually tore off her coat, and fell down on the soft couch Sleep soundly.

I don't know how long it has passed, but I feel someone is swaying beside me in a trance, but I can't open my eyes, so I was so confused for a while, until I felt chills, and finally opened my eyes.

I saw that Manduo had entered the house at some point, and was pressing on him, his hands were wandering around his waist in an unruly manner, and his own clothes had already been taken off so that he could not cover his body.

Chu Xiran was so angry that she wanted to punch someone, but as soon as she exerted force, she found that her whole body was limp and unable to exert any force.

After all the calculations, there is no problem with the wine!Chu Xiran hated to tear He Lan Ruoming into pieces, but his mind didn't rest, and a second thought immediately came to his mind.

He stopped struggling at first, and let Mantuo kiss his chest, his collarbone, and his lips. He even stretched out his arms to hook Mantuo's head and neck while helping him take off his clothes.

"Little beauty, are you in a hurry than me?"

"Isn't the prince in a hurry?" Chu Xiran opened his mouth with a smile, and bit Mantuo's shoulder hard, a bloody smell spread in his mouth, and he watched Mantuo's twitching expression with a smile. Standing up, he slapped him on the cheek immediately afterward.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and then, the door was knocked open from the outside. Chu Xiran was shocked, and immediately brushed her hair, and crawled towards the bed with all her strength, and fell on the bed with a bang. on the floor.

Accompanied by all the guards, He Lan Ruoming stood at the door of the room, staring at Man Tuo with fire in his eyes: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty decides for your ministers and concubines!" Chu Xiran lay on the ground with tears in her eyes, her underwear was scattered around her half body, her originally clean hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, coupled with the redness of her cheeks and the corners of her mouth. The blood on the side, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it has just been trampled, "Your Majesty, this concubine owes you a holy grace, please give me a death sentence, this concubine has no face to live on."

"What's going on? Who bullied you, tell me!" He Lan Ruoming ran forward with a face of grief and anger, squatted on the ground to help Chu Xiran, and hugged him into his arms to comfort him.

"The concubine was drowsy due to too much alcohol, but who knew that when she opened her eyes, she saw the prince...he...the concubine fought hard and bit the prince, not wanting to be slapped by him. The emperor arrives in time, otherwise..."

Chu Xiran's pitiful appearance made He Lan Ruoming even more angry, and angrily shouted at Man Tuo who was sitting beside the bed and tidying his clothes slowly: "Does the prince want to give me a reasonable explanation?"

Man Tuo stood up unhurriedly, looked Fan Chu Xiran up and down, the golden light flashed, and replied, "This king is drunk, and I don't want to offend the emperor's people, please forgive me!"

"If the prince likes Xiran, you can tell me that I will definitely give Xiran as a gift, but the prince is so disregarding etiquette and snatching it, which is not good for your country. In your eyes? If this is the case, the peace talks should not be brought up again, and the prince should come back!"

"Your majesty, the concubine said the same thing to the prince, but the prince didn't listen at all, and even said a lot of rebellious things. The emperor wants to be the master of the concubine!"

"Oh? What did he say?" He Lan Ruoming glanced at the person in his arms, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but was immediately hidden.

"The prince said that as long as he likes it, the emperor will give it to him, and he will give it if he doesn't! He also said... and said... If he is upset, tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers will go straight to the capital to take the emperor. Head on the item!"

"Presumptuous! Man Tuo, you are so brave, you Turks really don't take me seriously?" He Lan Ruoming was furious, and all the people present knelt down and shouted: "The emperor calm down!"

"Hmph, no wonder this prince was able to get into the back compartment smoothly. With such a personal certificate, the emperor can say whatever he wants." Man Tuo looked at Chu Xiran coldly, his sword-like sharp eyes had long since disappeared. Hot, as cold as a pool of ice water.

Handing Chu Xiran to Xiao Linzi, He Lan Ruoming stepped forward, but he stopped some guards who wanted to follow him, and when he came to Man Tuo, he said in a deep voice, "Man Tuo, are you still kneeling? "

"This king is not wrong, why should I kneel down?"

"The prince is a smart man. He should know how it will affect your country if the peace talks fail this time. I have the strength and military strength to fight with you, but it is going to be winter soon. The cattle and sheep in your country will have no grass to eat. You also have to suffer from starvation. Does the prince have the heart to see them like this? Blindly burning, killing and looting can only solve your temporary needs. If it is going to last for a long time, you have to ask the generals of Tiancheng whether they agree. Believe in your country Khan It is because you understand this that you sent the prince to come to peace talks. If the peace talks fail, will the prince still be able to keep his status when he returns this time? I heard that your relationship with the second prince is not very good."

"Please tell the emperor what you have to say." Man Tuo looked at He Lan Ruoming with a fox-like smile, and was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"I heard that the envoys who came with the prince this time are from the second prince? This is the cleverness of your khan, who sent you to the peace talks, but let the second prince's people monitor you and let you restrain each other. If the peace talks fail , what happened tonight will definitely reach the Khan's ears. Just imagine, who will pass the Khan's position to a prince who caused trouble because of sex? And when your people are starving and cold, will you still support you in your heart? Prince Have you ever thought that the failure of the peace talks this time will be very detrimental to the prince? But if the prince can make a concession during the peace talks, I guarantee that after the two countries make an alliance, I can help you ascend the Khan position."

"The emperor is far-sighted, Manduo really underestimated."

"I know you have always been a strong character, but if you don't agree, not only will your Khan's status be lost, but even your loved ones may be killed."

"What?" Manduo, who had been keeping calm all this time, suddenly showed strangeness.

He Lan looked at Mantuo, raised a victorious smile, and continued, "It is said that the eldest male concubine in the prince's mansion is missing, and the prince must have not received the news yet."

"He disappeared?" Man Tuo realized that he lost his composure as soon as he spoke, but he didn't care too much, and asked directly: "Are you sure the news is correct?"

"I heard that I left by myself, and I left a note for you, which was delivered to me along with the letter from the manager of the prince's residence." He Lan winked at Xiao Linzi who was beside him, and Xiao Linzi stepped forward and gave the letter to Man. Tuo.

Opening the manager's letter with trembling hands, and reading the line left by the familiar font, Mantu's face turned pale.

"Has the prince thought it over clearly? If it's too late, it will be too late!" He Lan smiled coldly, "Why don't you, the prince follow me to the imperial study, and first agree on the alliance between the two countries, and then hurry back to find yours. Male concubine, the prince won't have any objections to such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, right?"

"Okay, very good!" Mantu clenched the letter paper in his hand and gritted his teeth.

"Prince, please go first, I will be there soon!"

Man Tuo strode towards the door without looking back, the letter he was still holding in his hand was crumpled into a ball.

As soon as Mantuo left, He Lanruoming waved his hand, and Xiao Linzi left the room with everyone.

"The play is over, get up." He Lan Ruoming walked towards Chu Xiran who was sitting aside with tears on his face, couldn't help reaching out his hand to help him wipe away the congealed blood at the corner of his mouth, but who knew that Chu Xiran actually bit him Finger, he quickly withdrew his hand in pain.

According to He Lan Ruoming's temperament, he would definitely get angry, but when he looked up and saw Chu Xiran's round and bright eyes glaring at him with anger, he laughed instead: "You acted well. , exactly as I wanted."

"The medicine in the emperor's wine is also good!" Chu Xiran said coldly.

"I knew you would find out."

"You use me?"

"Since you understand everything and you have cooperated very well, why ask again?" He Lan Ruoming picked up a side of Xiao Linzi's prepared clothes and put them next to Chu Xiran, "Change your clothes and see how you look now."

"It's not thanks to you." Chu Xiran muttered in a low voice while taking off the half-hanging clothes.

He Lan Ruoming looked at him changing clothes openly in front of him, and was about to laugh that he didn't have the self-consciousness of being a concubine, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw the purple-red marks on his collarbone, and the corners of his mouth that were about to twitch were so stiff Living.

"Chu Xiran!" He Lan herself didn't understand why she suddenly felt angry.

"En?" Chu Xiran kept one glove in his sleeve and the other on the outside. He looked at the person who called him with his bare upper body, and when he realized that he was staring at his body, his face turned red all of a sudden, "What are you looking at?" !"

As soon as the words were finished, He Lan Ruoming suddenly stretched out his big hand and dragged him to him, then lowered his head and kissed his purple-red marks.

Chu Xiran was stunned for a moment, and was about to jump away when he regained his senses, but He Lan Ruoming grabbed him tightly and held him in his arms.

"What are you doing?" Chu Xiran's heart skipped a beat.

"It seems that you haven't realized yourself as a concubine in the harem."

"I'm not ready yet."

"Ready?" He Lan Ruoming almost choked on his own saliva.

"Aren't you going to sign a covenant with Manduo? Why don't you go?"

"Now he is in a hurry, not me. What does it matter if he waits?"

"Why don't you say 'I'm coming, I'm going'?"

He Lan Ruoming was dumbfounded when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "Didn't you call me 'you come and go'? Also, can't you learn to call yourself a 'concubine'? The aunts in the palace are all How did you teach it?"

Chu Xiran gave him a sideways look, and said, "Only Zhou officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps!"

"You're getting more and more courageous!" He Lan Ruoming suddenly felt particularly good for some reason, and he didn't care about Chu Xiran's arrogance, but happily started to help him tie his clothes.

Chu Xiran didn't feel anything wrong, but instead asked curiously: "Who is that big male concubine of Mantuo? It made him nervous like that?"

"That's his beloved, and he deliberately placed it in the position of a male concubine to deceive others. Don't look at Man Tuo, he loves beautiful women, but half of his lustful talk is also pretending. How can he know that his lover is missing? Not nervous? What's more, if he enters the game we set up, if he fails to return to Turkic, his eldest male concubine will be killed by the Khan, and the second prince who does not advocate an alliance will be able to Take the opportunity to seize power and send troops. Therefore, no matter how you decide, Mantu will definitely work hard to promote the success of the peace talks, and the sooner the better. As long as he is more anxious than me, it is beneficial to Tiancheng. It's hard to become a hegemony." He Lan said while gently touching Chu Xiran's red and swollen cheeks.

"Your Majesty is really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, Tian Cheng! We are truly blessed to have an Emperor like you!" Chu Xiran hummed, turning her face away in disdain.

"As a king, do something and don't do something, as long as it is beneficial to Tiancheng, I will not hesitate." He Lan Ruoming's eyes still fell on the hickey between Chu Xiran's collarbones, and he could not move for a long time open.

"Yeah, that's why I thought of using Lin Feng to lure me into the game. I just thought, the Lin family doesn't have much power in the court, how could the emperor think of using Lin Feng's favor to cultivate the Lin family, and the emperor even found out about my mother's details If you come out, how can you not even find out whether the person next to your pillow is a parent and child of the Lin family!"

"Chu Xiran, oh, Chu Xiran, as I said, it's not a good thing to be too smart in this palace." Leaning close to Chu Xiran, He Lan Ruoming almost whispered in his ear, "Whether you believe it or not, Even if I don't use Lin Feng to lure you out, and I ask you to perform a dance, do you dare to resist the order?"

"I......"

"Don't you dare?" He Lan lifted a lock of hair on Chu Xiran's shoulders, and said while playing with it: "Let me ask you, is it good to fight or make peace with Turkic?"

"Of course it is a peace. Although the war can be won, Manduo is not easy to deal with. No one knows how long this war will take, let alone how many people will be involved. Moreover, we must prevent other vassal states from taking advantage of the chaos to attack."

"I think so too. But, your father is leading the battle! I just want him to know that even his own son is willing to help my lord reconcile!"

"you!"

"Do you dare to say that I am doing this wrong?"

"Hmph, if it's not right, I'll help you?" Chu Xiran knew that He Lan Ruoming was right. This was also the reason why he was willing to be used by him even knowing that the other party was using him, and even actively cooperated. However, he didn't expect to be so strong in this matter. His father actually took the lead in the battle, and it seemed that his behavior would embarrass him in the court.Thinking of this, Chu Xiran's father's face flashed before Chu Xiran's eyes, and his heart suddenly felt sad again.

"Hee Ran?"

Seeing a flash of pain in Chu Xiran's eyes, He Lan Ruoming's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called him.

Chu Xiran was called so kindly by the emperor, and she turned her face angrily. She was about to speak, but someone blocked her mouth.

The kiss, which was more intense than last time, spread from the lips, all the way to the collarbone, neck, chest, and belly button, and the buttoned underwear was loosely opened to both sides again.

"Where did the mantra touch you? I'll clean it up for you!"

"Enough!" Chu Xiran pushed He Lan Ruoming away vigorously, grabbed the Jin quilt on the bed with one hand and blocked it in front of her, panting and staring at him with a blushing face: "I'm tired, I need to sleep for a while."

He Lan Ruoming nodded, pulled the brocade quilt to wrap it up for him, and said: "You will rest here tonight, there is someone guarding the door, you can sleep peacefully!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Xiran thanked him, but he turned around and stopped looking at He Lan Ruoming.

He Lan stared at his back for a long time before she was reluctant to stand up and leave the room.

"Send someone to guard Chu Xiaozhu!"

He Lan Ruoming's voice came from outside, Chu Xiran opened his eyes, touched his beating heart with one hand, and slowly closed his eyes when he heard the sound of footsteps moving away.

In the early morning, Chu Xiran opened his eyes and stared at the unfamiliar beam roof for a long time before remembering what happened last night. He sighed softly, turned over and remembered, but was surprised to find that there was a person sleeping beside him, his arms still around On my waist, I hugged him very tightly.

Chu Xiran frowned slightly, although she didn't know how the emperor would get into her bed, but took this rare opportunity to take a closer look at his appearance.

Smooth forehead, thick and regular eyebrows, curly and long eyelashes, straight and delicate nose, and thin and slightly raised red lips, the most unbearable pity is the one under the left eye. tear mole.

Chu Xiran lightly tapped the mole of tears with his fingers. He had heard people say that the mole of tears was the imprint engraved on the Sansheng Stone after the tears shed for his lover in the previous life condensed. Even reincarnation can't erase it its traces.I really don't know who the young emperor shed tears for in his previous life.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw that the person in front of him had opened his eyes, looked straight at him, and forcefully grabbed the fingers he extended and kneaded them repeatedly.

"What are you doing?" He Lan's voice was hoarse perhaps because he had just woken up.

"I didn't do anything." Chu Xiran withdrew her hand and stuffed it under the quilt at the right time.

He Lan watched Chu Xiran's reddish cheeks and evasive eyes calmly, turned over in a good mood and pressed down on Chu Xiran, and the hot air swept across Chu Xiran's round and smooth earlobes.

"Let's go to bed tonight, I will seal you..." He had just finished speaking halfway, but Chu Xiran said decisively "No".

"Say it again?" He Lan's voice suddenly became sharp.

"I said, no!" Chu Xiran mustered up the courage to refuse.

He Lan didn't speak any more, still pressed the person under him, sized him up for a moment, then suddenly softened his voice, but said indifferently: "When I say yes, no one in this harem can say 'no'! See Come on, I was so kind to you last night that you didn't know your identity!"

After a day of confusion, Chu Xiran could hardly remember when He Lan left, and how he returned to Lijingxuan.

He only thought about the fact that he was going to bed tonight, and after this night, he would never want to get out of the palace walls again.

He was a little annoyed by his behavior, and a little worried about his future.His heart was beating like this, until he saw that Lin Feng was being sent back to the Fengguang Room as promised, then he calmed down a little.

After dinner, it was time for the emperor to turn his cards around.

Chu Xiran felt that she was so flustered that she wanted to vomit, she pushed the table full of food, and stood at the window in a daze, like a prisoner waiting to be executed.

Suddenly, the father-in-law's shrill voice came from the front hall, "Xuan Ruyi's young master attends the bed."

Chu Xiran could imagine how envious and disappointed the other two young masters in the front hall would be, but how about herself?Fortunately, there were doubts, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little inexplicably lonely. He suddenly remembered He Lan Ruoming's eyes that were always smiling last night. Seeing the gentleness that seemed to be there, disturbed his heart so that he could no longer calm down.

But at least, the heart that has been hanging for a day is let go.

Chu Xiran retreated from the window, only to realize that her clothes were already drenched in sweat, so she called for hot water to bathe and change.After refreshing my body, I remembered to go to the Fengguang Room to see Lin Feng.

He just pushed open the door of Fengguang Room, and saw Lin Feng's red eyes from crying.

Seeing him coming, Lin Feng wiped her eyes with her cuff embarrassingly, and said in a hoarse voice, "The emperor should have a new favorite."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Chu Xiran felt a pause in his heart, and he took a moment to persuade him, "Why are you doing this?"

"I heard that Miss Ruyi met the emperor at Concubine Shu's place today." Lin Fengxiang didn't hear what Chu Xiran said, and just said to herself: "She presented a song to the emperor and won a reward. It seems that she likes her voice very much, and she said it sounds like Oriole, no wonder the emperor flipped her green card tonight." Lin Feng said as if he was in the concubine Shu's garden watching everything happen with his own eyes.

"Lin Feng, you should know that he is the emperor, and he should be favored by the sixth palace. He won't just like one person. Why are you doing this?"

"You don't care about him, so you don't understand, you don't understand the feeling of being burned to death with jealousy, you don't understand the pain of being praised to the sky and being stepped on the soles of your feet! I hate, I really hate !" Lin Feng closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, like a petrified portrait, even her breathing became lighter.

"Lin Feng, you've changed." Chu Xiran said helplessly.

"After entering this harem, who can stay the same?" Lin Feng's tears fell again, but he murmured and asked, "I heard that you broke into the imperial study and begged the emperor to spare me?"

"Yes"

Seeing the gloom flashing across Lin Feng's face, Chu Xiran knew that he had saved Lin Feng's people, but he could never save Lin Feng's heart again.

The young master Ruyi was favored by the emperor, and he was favored for a month. It can be regarded as replacing Lin Feng's limelight before, and became a celebrity in the harem side by side with Noble Murong.

It's just that everyone knows that Miss Murong has the entire Murong family to support her, so she can be proud, even if she is just a noble person, but even Concubine Shu can't stand her.It is precisely because of this that Ruyi is favored. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ruyi is the sharpest knife in Concubine Shu's hand, tightly holding the emperor's favor for her.

Chu Xiran thought, it's a good thing that he didn't fall into this muddy water, otherwise, he really didn't know what kind of life he would have to live among the two women, Murong and Concubine Shu.

Watching them fight openly and secretly on weekdays, not only felt sad for this harem, but what was even more sad was that the superior man, knowing all this, was happy to let those women do this for him.Because, in his eyes, the harem concubines are just an extension and containment of the court, and he uses the family interests of these women to control the power of the dynasty.

But the position that everyone in the harem dreamed of is still vacant, and no one can touch it.

For Chu Xiran, this month's free time made him almost forget the weird night before.

He Lan's pampering, He Lan's whispering, and He Lan's gentle touch seemed to be just a dream, just like that seductive mole of tears, only when he woke up in the middle of the night could he linger so deeply in his mind.

Fortunately, he escaped, pulled himself away again, watched everything with cold eyes, and then counted the days waiting for the day to leave the palace.

Not long after the days of peace, something happened to Lin Feng again.

These days, he and Lin Feng were estranged. He even felt that it would be the most prudent for Lin Feng to live in peace and quiet now, but he did not expect that Lin Feng would still die. He died by swallowing gold. After reporting it to the emperor, all he got was "I know" and nothing else.

Chu Xiran didn't feel disappointed, so she had to stuff some money into the eunuch in charge, and ordered him to take it out for a proper burial.When giving the money, he couldn't help but glanced at Lin Feng's body, but saw the strangle marks on his wrist.

Thousands of thoughts swirled in Chu Xiran's head, and it was not until Lin Feng's body was wrapped in a straw mat and carried out that he came back to his senses, and suddenly felt cold all over.

He suddenly understood that this is the law of the harem, if you are not favored or useless, then no one will investigate how you died and how you will be placed after death.

The emperor takes care of everything every day, and will never look back at your dead body, and the concubines in the palace are even more happy to lose a rival, not to mention that they have been favored before, others can't hate you, so how can they care about your life? .

Although Lin Feng's death was strange, Chu Xiran didn't have the extra strength to think about it. The only thing he realized was that women were scary.Whether it's Mrs. Murong or Concubine Shu, in short, the women in the harem want to push people to death step by step.

Chu Xiran thought, the matter of trespassing on the imperial study, the matter of dancing in front of Prince Mantuo, the night in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, had long since become secrets that could not be hidden and were blown into the harem every day. a corner.

Although the emperor has not turned over his green head card, the kindness he has done to him this month cannot be ignored. Even if it is just a little more reward from others, it can make people hold a grudge.

Lin Feng was already dead, even if he was insignificant in this harem, he still couldn't escape this catastrophe, so the next one, shouldn't it be his turn?

The flickering candlelight is like a human heart, trembling uneasily and confused.

The road ahead has become unclear.

Looking out the window, Chu Xiran understood for the first time that she was in a cage, no matter how far you hide, you are still doomed to escape.
