The king is the guide of the ministers

, I didn't care about catching up on sleep, so I put on my clothes and went out, sitting quietly in the pavilion in the garden.The stone pier covered with cold dew was very cold, but it couldn't suppress the heat in Liu Ci's heart.

How can a golden cicada get out of its shell?

Unknowingly sitting until dawn, suddenly his back felt warm, and he saw Ning Rui put a red satin flower cloak on Liu Ci's body.

"My lord, why do you get up so early? It's very cold in the early morning, so don't you catch a cold, my lord."

Liu Ci smiled faintly, turned sideways and narrowed his eyes to stare at Ning Rui for a while, and said, "Ning Rui, tell me. What will you do if you leave the palace and become free?"

Ning Rui was slightly taken aback when he heard this.The fleeting bewilderment on his face did not escape Liu Ci's eyes.

Liu Ci didn't speak, but kept a faint smile.He really wanted to know what kind of life a person like Ning Rui would want to live.

But Ning Rui lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, seeming to have something hard to say.

"Come, come and sit. You don't need to stand like this." Liu Ci pulled the young man to sit on the stone pier beside him.The boy's arms are very thin, so thin it makes people feel distressed.

Suddenly, Liu Ci felt that even if Ning Rui was really the "spies" that the man placed beside him, he was actually just a poor child who was abused and ravaged.With a crippled body, driven by others arbitrarily, and even his life is not his own... No matter what, shouldn't he help a child like this?

"Son..."

Ning Rui lowered his head, he was very nervous, and did not look at Liu Ci, "His Highness Mu Yu just didn't want Ning Rui to suffer, so he begged the young master to send me out of the palace. But Ning Rui knew that Ning Rui is now a useless person, leaving the palace I can't do anything... Besides, Ning Rui doesn't want to leave the palace, and doesn't want to never see His Highness Mu Yu...Young Master..."

"I understand." Liu Ci reached out and patted his head, "Ning Rui, can I let you return to Mu Yu's side?"

Joy flashed across the young man's pale face, but it was short-lived like fireworks. He said sadly: "Your Majesty will not allow it... It is good to follow the young master. It is a blessing that Ning Rui can serve the young master."

"Ning Rui, don't call me Young Master from now on, it sounds very awkward. You can call me Liu Ci, or Big Brother Liu is fine too, be kinder."

"..." Ning Rui looked at Liu Ci in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time.

Here Liu Ci is still worrying about how to leave, but there has already been a news that the king is about to get married a few days ago, and the whole country will celebrate it for three days.Xuanyuan Lingye's departure to the fief was also postponed until three days later.

For Liu Ci, this made things worse.

Now the whole country knows that the king's new concubine is a man named "Yuan".However, those who know the inside know that the man named "Yuan" is Liu Ci.

It seems that the ownership of Liu Ci has been declared. Although Liu Ci still cannot step out of Linyuan Pavilion, others are allowed to come to "visit" and "congratulate".There was an endless stream of congratulators, piled full of congratulatory gifts.But Liu Ci didn't even want to look at him, he just declared that he was not feeling well, and locked himself in the room all the time.

Those who came were concubines from the harem, a group of poor women who were jealous.

"My lord, His Highness Mu Yu has come to visit you."

Outside the door, Ning Rui couldn't hide his joy, and gently knocked on the door.

Liu Ci opened the door, forced a smile, and went to the front hall.When Mu Yu saw Liu Ci, he was nervous and didn't know what to say. Mu Yu was holding a sachet in both hands. It was a very unusual sachet, but there was no embroidery on it.Mu Yu walked up to Liu Ci: "That... this... I made this myself."

Looking at that chic sachet, and looking at Mu Yu's red fingers from the needle prick, Liu Ci was embarrassed, didn't Mu Yu know that this thing can't be given away casually!

Liu Ci took the sachet, praised it, and said to Mu Yu in a low voice: "Mu Yu, this thing is usually given by the girl to the man she loves..."

Mu Yu's face turned red, he took the sachet from Liu Ci's hand, and stuffed it into his clothes in a panic.As if wanting to divert attention, Mu Yu said: "The letter from last time, I took it to Third Brother when I was on the way..."

"Ah? Oh..." Liu Ci didn't care about that at all.

At this moment, Ning Rui led an eunuch into the front hall, and Ning Rui saluted Liu Ci; "My lord, this father-in-law wants to see you. He said he came from His Highness the Third Highness."

I really don't want to see what's coming!

I saw that father-in-law walked up to Liu Ci, saluted, and then said directly: "The stream is flowing | the water is murmuring"

"Gurling water | to my house" Liu Ci said, "What message do you have?"

The father-in-law was taken aback for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Today, I have broken my friendship with Mr. Liu, and the world is old, and there will be no time to see him again."

Liu Ci never expected that that person would be so despicable that he would even think of such a vulgar method.Knowing it was fake, but Liu Ci pretended to be real, from movements to facial expressions, she performed "abandoned husband" vividly.

Waving his hand with a wry smile, Ning Rui saw off the guests knowingly.

"My lord..." Ning Rui looked at Liu Ci worriedly.

Liu Ci smiled and said, "Ning Rui, I'm not in a good mood."

"Can Ning Rui do anything for the young master?" The boy's eyes were slightly red.Obviously already knew everything, but Liu Ci still couldn't bear to blame the boy.People who can't help themselves are poor people.

"Isn't the whole country celebrating three days? Will there be fireworks at night?"

"My lord wants to watch the fireworks? Ning Rui will report to His Majesty right away!" Ning Rui flew away from Linyuan Pavilion without waiting for Liu Ci's consent, as if he had received the great news.

"Father is ill, why don't you go and see him?" After Ning Rui left, Mu Yu said softly.

It's better if he's sick!

"I'm not a doctor, so it's useless to go to see it. And...forget it, let's not talk about it. By the way, how is Taifu Liu?"

"Teacher is very good."

The two of them talked one after another, but they were all talking about unimportant things.

"My family knocked on the imperial concubine's empress" I saw that Eunuch Lian broke into Linyuan Pavilion carelessly with a group of court ladies.Those palace maids were holding emeralds and pearls, silk and satin in their hands.

That voice of imperial concubine empress made Liu Ci almost fall to the ground.

"You have gone to the wrong place, there are no noble concubines here!"

Eunuch Lian smiled flatteringly and said: "The servants have come here to congratulate your majesty. You have been honored by your majesty and can be named a noble concubine. These little things are all given by your majesty to your majesty. Tonight, your majesty will come in person. I hope your majesty is ready."

tonight? !

Mu Yu looked at Liu Ciyu's gloomy face, and suddenly understood something.

He stepped forward and pulled Liuci's sleeve lightly, and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to, just go quickly. I heard Ning Rui said that you are very skilled, but this high wall is blocking you. I can't live with you..."

"Mu Yu, when Ning Rui comes back, take him out of Linyuan Pavilion."

Mu Yu didn't respond, he knew that maybe Liu Ci wanted to leave, and he was afraid that Ning Rui would be hurt.But Mu Yu was also a little worried, if Liu Ci really left, what would Ning Rui do?Will it go back to the past again.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Yu looked at Liu Ci and begged, "Can you take Ning Rui with you?"

Looking at the boy's sincere face, Liu Ci was in a dilemma, this is not going on a trip!Originally, Xuanyuan Lingye would leave tomorrow to go to the fiefdom, so it was just right to escape tonight.But now all the plans have been disrupted, and he has to leave tonight, and he has to find a way to contact Xuanyuan Lingye.I can't even tell how sure I am, but I still have to bring Ning Rui, isn't this killing my young master!

"Young master! His Majesty heard that you wanted to watch the fireworks, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare them, and they will be delivered in a while."

When Ning Rui, who was in high spirits, entered the door, he saw two sad faces.

"Really?" Liu Cixiang jumped up from the chair as if stimulated.

Ning Rui nodded desperately.

Liu Ci was gearing up secretly and said, "Look at my lord, I made a super bomb and can't blow up this place tonight!"Let this imperial concubine go to hell!

Liu Ci, who was thinking about how to turn those fireworks into explosives, didn't notice Ning Rui tremblingly pouring a pack of medicine into his tea...

Stuffing the medicine-wrapped paper into his belt, looking at the cup of tea with ingredients, Ning Rui hesitantly picked it up, turned back and handed it to Liu Ci, avoiding Liu Ci's sight guiltily, and said: "My son..."

Liu Ci looked at Ning Rui, reached out to take the cup of tea, but didn't drink it right away.

But seeing him use his thumb to wipe away the fine powder remaining on the cup mouth: Ning Rui, what kind of medicine did he put in it?

Seeing that Liu Ci was reluctant to drink the cup of tea, Ning Rui became even more flustered.In the silent stalemate between the two, Mu Yu stepped forward and snatched the tea from Liu Ci's hand, and drank it without hesitation under Ning Rui's almost desperate eyes...

Gently wiping the water stains from the corners of her lips, Mu Yu smiled at the two of them, "I'm a little thirsty... I'm really rude..."

Mu Yu saw Ning Rui pouring medicine into that cup of tea with his own eyes, and he didn't want to expose him, nor did he want him to "help the evildoers".

"His Highness Mu Yu..."

Looking at the empty teacup in Mu Yu's hand, Ning Rui couldn't help crying, this shouldn't be the result.

"Ning Rui, what's in the tea?"

Liu Ci also did not expect that Mu Yu would snatch that cup of tea and drink it.

But Ning Rui knelt on the ground and cried, "Eunuch Lian gave the medicine to Ning Rui.
