Legend of the Orchid

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and ordered the guards to bring Li Zhonglan back to the palace.

The imperial chef had received the emperor's orders long ago, and when Li Zhonglan returned to the palace, he presented several large food boxes of famous dishes from the south of the Yangtze River, but Li Zhonglan's food was tasteless, and after a few hasty bites, she couldn't eat any more.

After the meal, the maids covered the bathtub with rose petals, bathed Li Zhonglan, and then massaged and scented her. Li Zhonglan's body was bruised and purple, and there were scars from hitting the railing last night. The maids were afraid that the emperor would be angry when they saw it. After applying Xiangxue Rejuvenating Lotion to Li Zhonglan's body several times, the bruises finally faded a bit.

Li Zhonglan was manipulated like a puppet, when he was carried to the bed in the proclamation room, it was already dusk, and the lights in the room were flickering, filled with the sweet fragrance of ambergris, but it was terribly silent, as if it was a huge giant. Tomb, bury him in it.

Zhao Guangyi entered the announcement room shortly after, he saw Li Zhonglan lying on the bed at a glance, smiled immediately, walked quickly to the bedside, and hugged Zhonglan in his arms.

Li Zhonglan resisted the discomfort in her heart, but she still couldn't control the disgust in her heart. She turned her face away, but accidentally exposed her snow-white ears and beautiful collarbone to the other party.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhao Guangyi exclaimed in admiration. He originally wanted to be more refined and talk about poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with Li Zhonglan, but the beauty was in his arms. on Li Zhonglan's snowy neck.

Li Zhonglan shivered suddenly, the hairs on his arms stood up, he was only wearing a veil as thin as a cicada's wings, Zhao Guangyi just pulled his belt lightly and took off his veil.

Li Zhonglan blushed, shrunk her shoulders and had nowhere to hide, letting kisses rain down on her body one after another.

"Don't move around." Zhao Guangyi said softly, pressed Li Zhonglan on the bed, shed his last thread, and said hotly, "Let me take a good look at you!"

Li Zhonglan frowned and turned her face to the side, enduring the humiliation and accepting the greedy eyes of the other party. Zhao Guangyi touched the bruises on Zhonglan's snowy skin and said distressedly: "You suffered a lot yesterday? Why torture yourself like this. "

After that, he leaned down and kissed her again.

Li Zhonglan tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, turn off the lights."

How can a beauty refuse her request?Zhao Guangyi smiled and blew out the red candle beside the bed.

Suppressed sobs spread in the propaganda room, Li Zhonglan hid behind the screen, coldly watching the movement on the bed next to her.Although the person on the bed is not him, it is imitated by his appearance. Seeing another "self" being ravaged by a disgusting man is nothing less than torture for Li Zhonglan.

Fortunately, he smoked mandala incense on the phantom, which can make people dull and drowsy. Even so, Zhao Guangyi still struggled for an hour before falling into a coma.

Li Zhonglan tiptoed to the bedside, picked up the gauze dress, put it on, and fell asleep on the red sandalwood table all night.

In the early morning of the next day, just as the eunuch's footsteps came, Li Zhonglan was awakened. Then he remembered that the emperor was going to go to court early, so he quickly got back on the bed, pretending to be in a deep sleep.

Perhaps Li Zhonglan had smoked the scent of the mandala too strongly, and Zhao Guangyi was woken up after being shouted several times by the eunuch. He didn't rush to get up, but put his hand into Li Zhonglan's gauze, touching the smooth jade that could be broken by blows. Muscles, I thought, no wonder Dezhao lingered on the bed all day, Zhonglan was indeed too attractive.

Zhao Guangyi's hand slowly slid down, Li Zhonglan's eyelashes trembled, and the eunuch's dutiful voice sounded at the right time: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court!"

The emperor sighed, retracted his hand, kissed Li Zhonglan's face, and then got up and turned towards him.

Li Zhonglan felt relieved, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she fell asleep peacefully.

Two hours later, Zhao Guangyi came back from the imperial court. Li Zhonglan was already awake and was eating breakfast. Zhao Guangyi wanted to hug him again, but the latter quickly walked away, knelt on the ground and begged, "Please forgive me, let the guilty minister go!"

Zhao Guangyi's eyebrows furrowed heavily, and he said displeasedly: "Zhong Lan, didn't you agree to any conditions?"

"Your Majesty, please be merciful!" Li Zhonglan insisted, "The guilty minister cannot do without the county king!"

"What's so good about him? Can he be better than me?" Zhao Guangyi said angrily.After a night of experience, he had regarded Li Zhonglan as his own property, but now this property was thinking of someone else, making his jealous flames blaze.

Li Zhonglan simply replied: "The sinful minister is the king's man in life, and the king's ghost in death!"

"What a ghost of the county king!" Zhao Guangyi's phoenix eyes shot a sharp cold light, he walked up to Li Zhonglan, and ordered, "Raise your head!"

Li Zhonglan looked up, Zhao Guangyi sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Li Zhonglan had a sad but determined look on his face, he frowned and said, "If that's the case, that's fine."

He didn't know how pitiful he looked, and before he finished speaking, Zhao Guangyi blocked his mouth with his mouth. He struggled desperately, but Zhao Guangyi still kissed enough before letting go.

Li Zhonglan's stomach twitched, his throat tightened, and he almost retched. He suppressed the discomfort and continued to kneel on the ground, suffocating his head heavily.

"I have asked the king of Wugong County to pacify the Qian family of Wuyue and the Chen family of southern Fujian. If he succeeds, I will naturally let you go." Zhao Guangyi said coldly, "Before that, you can stay in the palace with peace of mind and serve you well. I."

Li Zhonglan thought about the idea of ​​releasing people after the success of the pacification was proposed by Ting Jie. Obviously, Ting Jie and Zhao Guangyi had reached an agreement, and why did he sacrifice himself in vain, so he refused to perform even the illusion. In the next month , resolutely refused to have skin-to-skin contact with Zhao Guangyi.

As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi couldn't even touch the hands or head of a small criminal official. He couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to force Li Zhonglan, but the other party had a very strong temper and wanted to kill himself with a dagger. Zhao Guangyi drew a short bloodstain on Xue's neck, scared Zhao Guangyi to stop angrily, and strictly ordered the imperial physician to treat Li Zhonglan well, not to leave any scars on the other party's body.

The emperor still has a way. Li Zhonglan's teacher Xu Xuan is a master of making drugs. Zhao Guangyi asked Xu Xuan to develop a medicine powder called "Seven Steps Down", which can make people numb their hands and feet within seven steps, but not lose weight. As for the loss of sanity, the effect is similar to "Shui Shen San".

Zhao Guangyi had long known the cause and effect of Li Zhonglan's poisoning due to water sinking, so he dared not use this medicine again, but the world's evil medicines would cause sequelae after being used for a long time, but the emperor didn't necessarily know about it.

After waiting for a month, Zhao Guangyi finally couldn't hold back, and wanted to give Li Zhonglan seven steps to fall. Unexpectedly, there was a good news from southern Fujian at this time. The news made Zhao Guangyi both happy and worried. He sighed and locked Qibu upside down in the cabinet.

Right now is the occasion for employing people, so let's wait a little longer!

Zhao Guangyi thought, if you can't eat meat, you can still see it, so he went to see Li Zhonglan again.

It was already mid-to-late September, Li Zhonglan was forced to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner with Zhao Guangyi on the evening of the second day, when he suddenly felt the long-lost cold began to erode his body again, he couldn't help panicking, and ordered the maid to smoke the stove cotton He should have all the cold protection items ready, but he was still slowly defeated by the cold poison.

When Zhao Guangyi went to see Li Zhonglan, he found that the latter was wrapping himself in a thick quilt, and he seemed to be wrapped in a white fur coat.

"Zhong Lan, don't you think it's too hot?" Zhao Guangyi asked in surprise, wanting to reach out to lift the other person's quilt.

Li Zhonglan rolled the quilt even tighter around her body, and shrank towards the corner of the bed.

"Okay, as long as you don't think it's too hot." Zhao Guangyi said helplessly.

At this time, he heard Li Zhonglan ask: "Your Majesty, when will Ting Jie come back?"

The other party has asked this question several times, and it made him furious every time, and this time was no exception.

Zhao Guangyi frowned, his phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, staring at Li Zhonglan angrily, and scolded: "I am the emperor, how many people are waiting for my favor! Can the king of the county compare with me! Do you have any?" brain!"

Li Zhonglan's eyes widened in surprise, but their eyes dimmed suddenly, she just lowered her head and nestled quietly under the quilt.

Zhao Guangyi secretly regretted that he had spoken too seriously. He had never lost his temper with Zhong Lan before, but now for some reason, he couldn't control his temper.

In order to make up for his mistake, he went to touch Li Zhonglan's face, wanting to say something nice, but Li Zhonglan couldn't dodge in time, and was groped.

Suddenly, Zhao Guangyi felt as if his finger had touched a piece of ice, and he said in surprise, "Zhong Lan, how could your body be so frozen?"

Li Zhonglan explained in a low voice: "Only the king of the county can take care of the body of the guilty minister, and the guilty minister cannot live without the king in his life."

Zhao Guangyi found it incredible, suppressed his anger and asked: "What can the world do that the Son of Heaven can't do?"

Li Zhonglan bit her lip. According to his temperament, he was not afraid to provoke Zhao Guangyi by saying "yin and yang intercourse" and "yin and yang complement each other", but he was afraid that Zhao Guangyi would become angry and force him, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

Seeing that Li Zhonglan refused to tell the reason, Zhao Guangyi had to give up and said in a low voice, "Aiqing, rest well!"
