Prince is in trouble

Before he knew it, Zhuang Ziyao sat in the hall for two hours, and suddenly, He Min rushed in sweating profusely.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Zhuang Ziyao woke up immediately, and asked nervously, "What happened?"

He Min didn't dare to talk nonsense, and quickly said: "The people in the palace came to spread the word, saying that the emperor invited the prince into the palace, and asked him something."

Zhuang Ziyao was shocked, and vaguely guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, He Min said again: "My subordinate asked that person about it, and the person said that in the afternoon, King Qi suddenly entered the palace to face the saint, and he didn't know what he said wrongly, the emperor was so angry that he was thrown into the dungeon." , and said that his title would be cut off.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Ziyao couldn't sit still any longer, stood up suddenly, and said anxiously: "Quick, get ready the car, I'm going into the palace."

He Min was taken aback for a moment, and said falteringly: "But, my lord, your wedding robe..."

Only then did Zhuang Ziyao realize that he was still wearing a torn wedding gown. Thinking back to the previous scene, he couldn't delay for a moment.

"Hurry up and get me a robe."

He Min took the order and hurried down to do it.

After getting dressed, Zhuang Ziyao left the palace.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

After a while, Zhuang Ziyao's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

When Zhuang Ziyao discovered that the emperor was standing in the hall waiting, he knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, the emperor asked, "Zi Yao, what is your relationship with King Qi?"

Seeing the emperor's expressionless face, Zhuang Ziyao's heart skipped a beat, feeling faintly uneasy.

"Brother Huang, Ziyao has nothing to do with King Qi, oh yes, except for Qu Shaoning..."

Before Zhuang Ziyao finished speaking, the emperor said, "Really? That's not what Zhao Lan said."

Zhuang Ziyao's heart tightened, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "Brother Emperor, don't listen to Zhao Lan's nonsense, Ziyao and Zhao Lan really have nothing to do with each other, we have always disliked each other."

Before he could finish speaking, the emperor suddenly interrupted, "Shut up, do you know what a crime is to deceive the emperor? Nothing to do with it? Thank you for being able to say a word that has nothing to do with it."

Zhuang Ziyao was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, Ziyao dare not lie to Brother Huang, Ziyao..."

The words came to his lips but could not be uttered, Zhuang Ziyao hesitated for a long time, only to get the emperor's cold snort.

"I thought you had so much affection for that opera singer, but it turns out that the one you miss is Zhao Lan. Ziyao, you are so brave. I have already turned a blind eye to my usual romantic affairs, and yet you dare to have sex with me. King Qi got involved. Not only that, but he also asked me to take back my will. How could Zhao Lan, who has always been calm and serious, be so ridiculous? Ziyao, he loves me deeply!"

It's not that Zhuang Ziyao couldn't understand the sarcasm in the emperor's words, but as long as he thought that the indifferent Zhao Lan from the past would do this for himself, he couldn't control his mood.He was moved, heartbroken, hopelessly sunk, and the anger in his heart was no match for his feelings for Zhao Lan.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuang Ziyao took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked very serious, "Brother Huang is right, my brother and Zhao Lan do love each other." He suddenly knelt on the ground and begged: "My brother, please Brother Huang withdraws his order, except for Zhao Lan, I don’t want anyone else.”

"Shut up, don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Do I want to tell the world that King Rui doesn't want to marry the daughter of Xiangfu just for King Qi?"

Zhuang Ziyao knelt there unhurriedly, with an unusually calm expression, "Brother, you just need to tell the people all over the world that King Rui Zhuang Ziyao is just a commoner from now on, and naturally he is not qualified to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister."

The emperor was shocked, raised a hand tremblingly, pointed at Zhuang Ziyao and asked, "You don't even want the title of King Rui because of him? Don't you even care about my brother?"

Zhuang Ziyao looked at the emperor with pain in his eyes, choked up and said, "How could Ziyao not care about the emperor, you are my only real brother!"

Hearing the sound of "Brother", the emperor mourned unceasingly, and he roared angrily: "Get out, get out of here, don't let me see you. When the day of marriage comes, you must marry Gu Wanting."

The emperor ordered the guards to take Zhuang Ziyao out. Unexpectedly, just as Zhuang Ziyao stepped out of the hall, he pushed everyone away and knelt heavily outside.

The emperor was too angry to speak, and said cruelly: "Okay, you want to kneel, don't you? Just kneel for me. I'll see how long you can kneel."

After all, the emperor walked away like this, unwilling to look at Zhuang Ziyao again.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

A whole day and night passed, and Zhuang Ziyao didn't touch a drop of water, and no one tried to persuade him.

The emperor was gnashing his teeth in anger. He obviously wanted to turn a blind eye, but couldn't help but send someone over to check the situation, for fear that Zhuang Ziyao would not be able to hold on.

Finally, on the second night, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore. He stood in front of Zhuang Ziyao and saw his only biological brother kneeling on the ground with a haggard face. His knees were already red, swollen and numb. up.

"Have you thought it through, are you still unwilling to marry a wife?"

Zhuang Ziyao was hungry and thirsty, and said weakly, "Yes, Ziyao doesn't want to marry a wife, he only wants to be with Zhao Lan in this life."

All of a sudden, the emperor sternly scolded: "Bastard, do you think I will soften your heart after you kneel for a few days? Come and send King Rui to the prison."

At this time, Zhuang Ziyao couldn't stand up at all, he was powerless to resist, so he had to let the guards lift him up.

Seeing this, the emperor was both distressed and angry.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Zhuang Ziyao did not expect that the jailer would lock him up with Zhao Lan. When the guards threw him into the prison, Zhao Lan happened to catch his body.

"Have you gone to see the emperor?"

Sensing the familiar aura of Zhao Lan, Zhuang Ziyao could finally relax. He suddenly felt that the previous pain was worth it. Even if he couldn't get a lifetime of companionship, he was satisfied to be connected with Zhao Lan.

"Damn! Tell me, why am I here? Are you the only one willing to beg the emperor to take back his life?"

"Zhuang Ziyao..." Zhao Lan softly called Zhuang Ziyao's name, and carefully hugged him into his arms. The two of them cuddled tightly, and neither of them wanted to let go.

The sky prison was already gloomy and cold, and Zhuang Ziyao knelt on his knees for another two days, his body couldn't bear it at all.Not long after, Zhao Lan found that Zhuang Ziyao's body was shaking constantly, and he wanted Zhuang Ziyao to lie on the ground.

Zhuang Ziyao suddenly grabbed his arm and said weakly, "Don't let go."

Zhao Lan felt extremely uncomfortable, held Zhuang Ziyao's hand tightly, and said, "I hold your hand, so you won't feel cold."

Zhuang Ziyao looked into Zhao Lan's eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled lightly, and said contentedly, "That's great, I, Zhuang Ziyao, are the only ones in Zhao Lan's eyes now."

Zhao Lan stroked his cheek tenderly, and said word by word: "Yes, Zhao Lan only has Zhuang Ziyao in his eyes, and Zhuang Ziyao will be the only one in this life."

Zhuang Ziyao was obviously exhausted, but he was reluctant to fall asleep. He opened his eyes reluctantly, for fear that Zhao Lan would disappear if he was not careful.

Zhao Lan understood Zhuang Ziyao's thoughts, and felt very sorry for him. He hugged Zhuang Ziyao tightly and said comfortingly, "You sleep for a while, I won't go anywhere. If something happens, I'll put it right away. You wake up."

Zhuang Ziyao smiled and nodded, and suddenly pretended to be angry and said, "You said that. If you dare to leave me here alone, I will never forgive you again."

Zhao Lan didn't answer, but hugged Zhuang Ziyao more and more tightly.Zhuang Ziyao leaned on Zhao Lan's chest, feeling satisfied with the breath of his heart, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

Zhuang Ziyao didn't sleep for long when Zhao Lan realized something was wrong.Zhuang Ziyao's body was hot and hot, and his face was even blushing unnaturally. He stretched out his hand to stroke Zhuang Ziyao's forehead, and it turned out that he had a fever.

Zhao Lan hugged Zhuang Ziyao tightly, and shouted loudly, "Come quickly, King Rui is ill."

A jailer hurried over, looked at the two people in the cell, and stood there in bewilderment.

Zhao Lan straightened his face and snapped, "Bastard, why don't you hurry up and call the imperial doctor, if something happens to King Rui, can you, a little jailer, afford it?"

Who in the palace didn't know that King Rui was the emperor's younger brother, so there was no need to talk about the brotherhood, not to mention that the person who yelled at him was still King Qi.

The jailer didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly asked his companions to invite the imperial physician. He opened the cell and wanted to take King Rui out.However, before he stretched out his hand, Zhao Lan gave him a cold look, which made him quickly withdraw his hand in fright.

Not long after, the imperial physician hurried over, and the emperor followed behind.

Seeing Zhao Lan and Zhuang Ziyao staying in the same cell, the emperor shouted angrily, "Who locked them together, do you want to die?"

As soon as the words were finished, the emperor saw Zhuang Ziyao's sick face, and was immediately terrified, and hurriedly ordered: "How can King Rui become so sick, why don't you take King Rui out quickly!"

As soon as the guards stepped forward, Zhao Lan had already stood up holding Zhuang Ziyao, and approached the emperor step by step.

"Your Majesty, let Xiao Wang carry King Rui out."

The emperor was very angry, but he was forced by Zhao Lan's momentum, so he couldn't speak for a while.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

After leaving the prison, the emperor and his party hurried back to the palace.In the inner hall, the imperial physician was busy helping Zhuang Ziyao to heal, and in the main hall, the emperor and Zhao Lan faced each other like this.

Although Zhao Lan is indifferent, he has a compelling aura, even if he kneels in front of the emperor at this time, he is not compared to him.

"Zhao Lan, you actually did this for Ziyao."

Who doesn't know that King Qi's heart is high and arrogant. At the beginning, he dared to chase Zhuang Ziyao and beat him twenty big sticks, so he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

Zhao Lan raised his head silently, the firmness in his eyes shocked the emperor.

"I have nothing else to ask for in this life, I just hope to be with King Rui."

After being angry for three whole days, the emperor could finally think about Zhao Lan and Zhuang Ziyao's affairs. He carefully looked at Zhao Lan's expression, and the reckless determination made him feel unbelievable.When he thought of his younger brother lying on the bed, the feeling in his heart was even more indescribable.

Of course he would not allow such a thing to happen, but he had an intuition that if the two of them were to be forced to separate, Zhuang Ziyao would really risk his life.

They are brothers who grew up together. Of course, they understand each other's temperament. Zhuang Ziyao has always been impulsive and reckless, desperate to achieve his goals. He spoiled this younger brother. Now, he can't force him.

The two of them were in such a stalemate. Just as the emperor was about to speak, the imperial physician suddenly came out.

The imperial doctor said: "Reporting to the emperor, the prince's body is weak and needs to recuperate for a period of time. If the treatment is not done properly, the root cause of the disease may fall."

In this way, it is even more impossible for the emperor to put his younger brother in the prison.He glanced at Zhao Lan irritably, thinking, if he insisted on locking Zhao Lan back, would Zhuang Ziyao kneel outside again after waking up, not eating or drinking?Is he really going to destroy his brother?

The anger in his chest reached the extreme, and the emperor actually started to reflect.

"What does the dignified king of Qi look like kneeling here, why don't you get up quickly."

Zhao Lan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and stood up obediently.

"Look at this silly boy, if anything happens to him, I'm the only one to ask." After finishing speaking, the emperor left behind a few court ladies and left angrily.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Three days later, when Zhuang Ziyao woke up, he was already lying on his bed at home.

"Where's Zhao Lan?" Zhuang Ziyao asked in a panic as soon as he opened his eyes.

Before he could see the people around him clearly, he felt someone holding his hand.Dazedly remembering the words in the prison, Zhuang Ziyao blushed and immediately guessed who that person was.

"Bastard, you've strangled my hand red." Zhuang Ziyao scolded angrily in order to hide his shyness.

Zhao Lan didn't refute, and relaxed a little bit.

"Why am I here?" Zhuang Ziyao finally thought of the key point and hurriedly asked.

Zhao Lan frowned, and replied, "I don't know, the emperor sent someone to send us back, and we are here."

Hearing this, Zhuang Ziyao understood the meaning of the emperor, after all, he was a blood brother, so it was not difficult to guess.However, he put on a troubled expression on his face, pretending to be in pain and said: "Oops, Brother Huang will definitely send me back to get married."

Such a clumsy lie even deceived Zhao Lan, he suddenly squeezed Zhuang Ziyao's hand, pulled him into his arms, and said in a serious tone: "If the emperor insists on doing this, we can run away now. Run as far as you want, even if you die halfway, it's worth it."

"Hmph, who wants to die halfway with you! I don't want to be a good King Rui, why do I want to be a pair of lonely souls and wild ghosts with you?"

He had known for a long time that Zhao Lan could not speak soft words of love, and sure enough, the man hugged Zhuang Ziyao tightly without saying a word, but his mouth was speechless.

Zhuang Ziyao didn't say any more, and leaned on Zhao Lan's chest with peace of mind. In the past few days, he didn't feel that Zhao Lan was the one who took care of him. The tenderness and concern almost made him reluctant to wake up.

At this moment, He Min broke in suddenly, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the emperor's imperial edict has arrived."

Just as Zhao Lan and Zhuang Ziyao let go of their arms, a young man walked in outside.

Zhuang Ziyao was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "It's you, Lord Hua?"

Lord Hua nodded with a chuckle, and said casually: "We are old acquaintances, those rules are unnecessary, here, take the imperial decree to see!"

After speaking, Master Hua threw the imperial decree to Zhao Lan, who quickly took it and glanced at it roughly.

"It's nothing special. King Qi still returns to his Xuancheng. Only a few guards know about offending the Holy Majesty. Who dares to talk nonsense when the emperor orders it." Speaking of this, Master Hua deliberately paused for a while, Looking at Zhuang Ziyao, he said, "However, it is not easy for King Rui to escape the marriage. The imperial edict said that King Rui disobeyed the imperial edict. , punish him to rush to Yunzhou to guard. Oh, Yunzhou is quite close to Xuancheng, and it takes half a day to get there after leaving the city gate.”

Before Zhao Lan and Zhuang Ziyao could say anything, Lord Hua had already taken back the imperial decree, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm going back to return, King Rui and King Qi, we will meet later."

Master Hua had just walked to the door, when he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and said, "By the way, as for the little girl of the Gu family, she is at a prime age, so of course she can't stay in the capital and wait for King Rui. I love her very much, and I don't want her to go to Yunzhou to suffer. So, the little beauty gave me a marriage. The two princes may not be able to catch up with the wedding day, but when I give birth to my son next year, I will invite you to come over for a wedding wine. "

In the blink of an eye, Master Hua had already left, and even He Min slipped away.Only Zhao Lan and Zhuang Ziyao were left in the room. They looked at each other for a while, and then looked away in unison.

"I……"

"you……"

The two spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time.

Zhao Lan frowned and said, "You talk first!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Ziyao became unhappy, and said angrily, "Why do you always let me speak first!"

Zhao Lan immediately understood what he meant, and said without hesitation: "The imperial decree says that we have to leave tomorrow. Go to Xuancheng first, then go to Yunzhou, and take a look at Shaoning, okay?"

Recalling the past, Zhuang Ziyao thought to himself, although he was once jealous of Qu Shaoning, but if it wasn't for Qu Shaoning, he would never have had the chance to get involved with Zhao Lan.What's more, Qu Shaoning used his own life to protect them and bought them a lifetime of companionship.

"Hmph! I'm going to my Yunzhou, and you're going back to your Xuancheng, where can I take the opportunity?" Although Zhuang Ziyao had already made plans in his heart, he couldn't help but speak hard.

But Zhao Lan seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, with a faint smile on his lips, he said, "Where you go, I will go too, isn't it?"

Looking at Zhao Lan's expression, Zhuang Ziyao couldn't help being a little dazed. He suddenly had an illusion that the scene at this time had appeared thousands of times in his dreams. Could it be that he was destined to be entangled with this person for a lifetime?

When Zhuang Ziyao was in a trance, Zhao Lan suddenly put his arms around his shoulders, and kissed his lips lightly, but that pecking kiss couldn't satisfy Zhuang Ziyao's desire at all. He grabbed the other's arm and wrapped it tightly his lips.

The two people who have finally been together have so much love hidden in their hearts, how can a kiss express it!

Light gauze curtains, full of spring scenery.
