tribute male queen

"Young Master." An Rong paused for a moment before saying, "Young Master, you shouldn't disobey His Majesty at this time."

He Lancong hadn't slept all night, his eyes were red from the boil, he hadn't moved all night, but he felt stiff all over, now that his arm was put down, he was sore and swollen.The two massaged him from left to right to invigorate his blood. The feeling of being pricked by needles was very uncomfortable.Well, he snorted impatiently.

"My lord, did you use too much force?" An Rong asked.

He Lancong shook his head, feeling exhausted at the moment, as soon as his spirit relaxed, his eyelids began to fight, sleepiness struck again, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Fu exclaimed, An Rong raised his hand to stop the little eunuch, "Don't make noise, he is tired. Bring the clothes and wait for him to put them on."

He Lancong was sleeping peacefully at the moment, Xiaofu put on the clothes for him, always thinking about the dagger in his mind, but he couldn't concentrate, and it took him a long time to tie the knots in his inner clothes, the buttons on the outside were not buttons If it doesn't go on, it means the wrong button is pressed.

An Rong stood aside, took the little eunuch's lack of focus into his eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Xiaofu paused, with a little panic, he said: "No, no."

An Rong's heart is like a mirror, He Lancong is thinking about running away, this Xiaofu probably also felt it, maybe he is unwilling to betray his master, so he is so absent-minded.Alas, An Rong sighed secretly, Xiao Fu, you have to understand who is your real master, if you don't understand, no one will be able to save you in the future.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the annual Shangyuan Festival, the entire Beicang Palace is hung with colorful lights.

The emperor was satisfied with the man sitting in front of the window in a daze. Seeing that he was dressed in Bei Cang, he lost part of the elegance of the southern country, but more of the boldness of the northern country.In fact, the costumes of Bei Cang and Donglin are very similar in general, and there is not much difference between the ordinary clothes. The real characteristics are the outermost smocks and accessories worn by the two countries. This point is reflected in the dressing of the nobles of the two countries is particularly obvious.

The emperor raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch his forehead, but stopped halfway, thought for a while, and still put his hand on his forehead.The night before yesterday, he shouldn't have been frozen, right?Even if the palace attendant did not report whether he was unwell, the emperor was still worried, and he was relieved only after confirming it himself.

"He Lan, don't be unhappy. After the dinner today, I will take you out of the palace to visit the lanterns, okay?"

"Go with your two concubines, I think they will be very happy." No matter how beautiful the lantern is, it is not as good as a dead grass in my hometown.

The emperor knew that he was uncomfortable, so he didn't say much, kissed his forehead lightly, turned around and left Zhaohuang Pavilion.

He Lancong wiped his forehead with a brocade handkerchief, called Xiaofu, picked up Jiaoweiqin, and went straight to Yongshou Palace.

He Lan Ruyue had never seen He Lan Cong except for the New Year's Eve banquet. Seeing him coming over suddenly today, she seemed to understand something in her heart and let him in first.

Rui'er took Xiaofu to Piandian to have some snacks, Helan Ruyue lowered her voice and asked, "Are you almost ready?"

"Ah."

He Lan Ruyue nodded, "When you're ready, leave as soon as possible, you can't stay in this place."

"Let's go together." He Lancong said calmly.

"No." He Lan Ruyue flatly refused, "It's not easy to keep you out, if I leave, there will be too much noise. Second brother, listen to sister, go first."

He Lancong shook his head, "The people who cooperate with King Yi are unreliable, so you can't bet on them. That person must want Bei Cang to change hands. Once Yuan Wenjing's throne is taken away, you will be in danger. I can't keep you it's here."

He Lan Ruyue smiled sadly, "Bringing me will only drag you down. Promise me, you must leave here and live a good life. Don't think about revenge, and don't think about me anymore. Find a hidden place, marry a wife and have children. For this lifetime."

"Sister." He Lancong began to worry, "Don't be stubborn, just go together."

He Lan Ruyue said very seriously: "Listen to me, I'm already seriously ill, and the result is the same whether I walk or not. But you, how could Angzang Qichi fall under others and suffer this humiliation."

"Sister--"

He Lan Ruyue's eyes were red, she lightly tapped the brocade handkerchief to test her tears, but she didn't dare to cry out.

An Rong told the emperor about He Lancong's going to Yongshou Palace, the emperor pursed his lips, He Lan, are you going to bid farewell to He Lan Ruyue, right?

"Your Majesty, will you take down the young master?"

The emperor said: "No need, I think there will be a lot of good shows tonight, so you and I can sit quietly and watch the good shows."

An Rong bowed, "Your Majesty, just now His Royal Highness King Xian sent a message, saying that all the external matters have been settled. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, and deal with Yang Lin."

The emperor finally showed a smug smile, "Okay, well done. Tell Yuan Chang, just let them wait for the fish to take the bait. Oh, and in addition, tell him to hurry up, and prepare the antidote for chasing the soul. This is a top priority."

An Rong sighed, Your Majesty, why are you doing this?Wanting to be pampered and punished at the same time, to give grace and power at the same time, it is not suitable for He Lancong at this moment.

The emperor saw what An Rong was thinking, and said, "This time, I will gamble once."

An Rong saw the emperor clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has always opposed the use of force against He Lancong, but this servant also reminds Your Majesty to follow the heart and see things with your heart. Everything in the world is dependent on origin and death. The causes of evil and the fruits of evil are all born from the heart."

"What do you mean?" The emperor was very surprised.

"Your Majesty, in fact, you know it. If the sea of ​​heart is broad, there will be a sea of ​​flowers everywhere, otherwise, there will be no grass."

"Your Majesty." A eunuch came in and reported, "The banquet is ready, and all the adults are here, please move your majesty and masters."

"Let's go." The emperor said, since there is a good show, it would be a pity to miss it.

Guided by Xiaofu, He Lancong headed for the Longde Palace. On the way, he unexpectedly met the noble concubines of the two palaces who came together with a harmonious appearance.

He Lancong dodged to the side of the road and lowered his head.

"You are wise." Concubine Cao snorted, passing by with a gust of fragrance.

Concubine Cui Gui remained silent, with an inexplicable smile on her face, she flicked the brocade handkerchief as she passed by him.

He Lancong squatted down, as if to pat the thin dust on the boots, but in fact, taking advantage of Xiaofu's inattention, he picked up the small paper ball that Concubine Cui Guiwei deliberately dropped.

40. The price of escape one...

When He Lancong arrived at the Longde Hall, he found that the emperor was actually hovering at the entrance of the hall. When he saw him, his eyes lit up.He said: "He Lan, I'm waiting for you. Oh, this dress suits you very well."

He Lancong noticed that the emperor was pulling his hand, and hurriedly retracted his hand into his sleeve. Looking left and right, he found that the eunuchs and palace servants who were serving him tacitly turned their heads to one side, and felt even more embarrassed now.

Just as he was thinking hard about how to deal with the little emperor's blatant provocation of affection, He Lancong found a familiar face among the guests already seated in the distance.Immediately understanding the emperor's purpose of waiting for him and showing affection to him, his face turned extremely pale.

"He Lan, it's getting late, let's go in." Regardless of He Lancong's struggle, the emperor stubbornly held his hand, entered from the main entrance of the hall, and walked among the officials.

Except for the ministers of Beicang, all the guests attending the banquet had a strong interest in the people who accompanied the emperor.Seeing that the man's face was obviously ugly, and he looked extremely reluctant, but he couldn't escape the emperor's restraint, like a light on his back, avoiding everyone's eyes.

When passing by Zhao Dong, He Lancong, who was originally extremely nervous, found that he did not see contempt and disdain in Zhao Dong's tears, but was replaced by undisguised shame.

The emperor took Zhao Dong's guilt into his eyes, and there was a contemptuous smile on his lips.

The dinner began as soon as the emperor took his seat, with singing and dancing in a peaceful atmosphere.

The emperor glanced at the person sitting on pins and needles beside him, smiled lightly, picked up a piece of salt and pepper jerky, handed it to his mouth, and said very softly: "He Lan, try this, the method of marinating this jerky is from Bei Cang's. It’s secret in the palace, but folks can’t taste it.”

The hall seemed to be silent for a moment. The emperor had never been so considerate, but now he gave this kindness to this man beside him, who was not considered the most beautiful man in the world.

"You must embarrass me in front of the old owner of Donglin, right?"

The emperor's eyes drifted away, and he understood clearly. At the dinner party on the [-]th day, several old officials of Donglin were ordered to come to the banquet, including the former Lord of Donglin. No wonder He Lancong was so uncomfortable.

After drinking the fine wine in the glass, He Lancong said in a low voice, "I don't feel well, I want to go back."

The emperor's heart sank, his face remained calm, he smiled, and in front of everyone in the hall, he leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Um!He Lancong's eyes were wide open, full of anger and hatred, and even more ashamed.

The emperor shook his hand and said comfortingly: "Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest. After the dinner is over, I will see you again. Wait for me, and don't turn off the lights."

Taking a deep breath, He Lancong gritted his teeth, "I don't need your concern."

The emperor laughed and waved his hands, He Lancong left the Longde Hall as if fleeing for his life.

He Lancong left Longde Hall in a messed up state of mind, and hurriedly walked on the corridor leading to Huaisi Hall.It's not that there is no suspicion in my heart, how did Gao Ying sneak into the palace, and he even asked himself to meet in Huai Sitang.But why bother to mutter, this note was written by Gao Ying.He is very familiar with Gao Ying's handwriting. This man has a bad handwriting habit, which no one else can imitate.

Entering the Waisi Hall, Gao Ying flashed out from behind the wooden door.

"Master Hou, the last general has seen you."

When He Lancong saw Gao Ying, he was naturally very happy, "You are so bold, you actually dared to sneak into the Beicang Palace by yourself."

Gao Ying smiled honestly, "As long as you can help Lord Hou get out of trouble, Gao Ying will do whatever it takes."
