end of days

"Your Majesty, Xiao Luo has been staying in the palace for quite a few days, and it's time to go back." As soon as the morning was over, Ling Yang rushed into the palace.

What kind of virtue is my younger brother? After staying in the palace for a long time, it would be strange if he didn't cause trouble!

"Ziqing, you are in a hurry, but I don't think Ling Luo has any intention of going back."

He had already seen the vague affection between Ling Luo and Ziyin, and Xuanyuanhen was happy to be a favor.

"This... I'm worried about him." Ling Yang didn't think Ling Luo could live in this palace.

"Then I will accompany you to meet him. As a brother, you really have more things to do than as a parent."

Xuanyuanhen's words were full of jokes, but when he spoke the truth, he felt a little lost. It's good for someone to take care of him, and he didn't want his father and brothers.

The most unfeeling place in the world is indeed this secluded and deep palace!

Looking at Tianzi's instantly downcast expression, Ling Yang understood the pain in Xuanyuanhen's heart very well.

I still remember that when Xuanyuanhen brought only Deyu to ask for help from the Ling family, that 14-year-old child was so thin and pale.

No one dared to believe that this was what a prince would look like, even if it were, others would definitely not dare to entrust the entire family to such an unfavorable prince.

However, he finally conquered his father with his own knowledge, and the Ling family became the first secret supporter of today's emperor.

But Ling Yang knew that his willingness to help Xuanyuanhen back then was not only because of his strategy in governing the country, but also because of Xuanyuanhen's resolute and cold eyes.

But a child has such an aura, but the cold indifference between his brows made him feel extremely sorry for him. From that moment on, Ling Yang made the decision to protect this child.

At least, let him feel a little warm.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Yang's long silence made Xuanyuanhen a little uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, let's go, I'll go and see Xiaoluo."

-------------------------------------------------- ----

"Are you letting go?!"

"Not loose!"

Ziyin glared at Ling Luo fiercely, gnashing her teeth, but Ling Luo stared back not to be outdone.

"Ling Luo, you asked me to get up, I can't leave Young Master alone."

"How dare you say, who would go to the inner hall to take care of her son without sleeping in the middle of the night and make himself sick?"

Talking about this Ling Luo made her angry, this girl was obviously still injured, but she couldn't worry about Zhuo Ran, she ran to take care of him in the middle of the night, only to catch a cold again.

"It's my duty to take care of the young master, why do you care so much!"

Ziyin also secretly slandered, who is he, why did she lift herself up and throw her on the bed, and hit her sleeping point without saying a word, but when she woke up, she still didn't let her get out of bed, she insisted on She went on to rest.

"Then I don't care, if I let you sleep, you can sleep, Zhuo Ran will take care of me!"

Ling Luo fully demonstrated his authority in this matter. Under the situation where he was half coaxing and half threatening, Ziyin finally stopped objecting, took the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.

Ling Luo just sat on the edge of the bed like this, for a long time...

-------------------------------------------------- -----

"Xiao Luo, my brother is here to see you!" Ling Yang is a typical good brother, and he never shy away from expressing his love for his younger brother.

"Shh—quiet."

"What's wrong?" Ling Luo rushed out when he was still outside the hall.

"Ziyin just fell asleep, don't disturb her, let's go to the yard to chat." Ling Luo's face was filled with a smile that could be called satiety.

"Ziyin?" When did my younger brother start caring so much about others?

"Ziyin is the maid who serves Zhuoran, didn't you see that day?" Smiling at Ling Yang's dullness, Xuanyuanhen decided to add more fire.

"Oh——" The pretty, terrified but extremely naive little girl appeared in front of him instantly, Ling Yang smiled knowingly, and his younger brother who had never married a wife for ten thousand years finally became enlightened.

"Your Majesty has a heart!" Saying no thanks to Xuanyuan Hen is a lie. Strictly speaking, court ladies are considered the emperor's women. If he doesn't let go, Ling Luo will be sad. But at present, Xuanyuan Hen obviously wants to make it happen. good thing.

"You'll be polite, but it's all about going with the flow, and I'm not missing this Ziyin, that's all, let's go over quickly, catch up on the old days, I'm afraid I'll keep him for a while."

"That's exactly what I wanted to do. Let him stay in the palace for a few more days, hoping to bring a daughter-in-law to the Ling family when he returns."

Ling Yang was not in a hurry to ask Ling Luo to go home this time, Xuanyuan Hen seemed to value Ling Luo very much, so he didn't need to worry too much about his younger brother's temper causing him any trouble.

"That's good, I'm going to see Zhuoran, it's convenient for you brothers to talk, lest I can't say something in the presence."

"Thank you over there." Ling Yang was no longer polite.

-----------------------------------------------------------

When Xuanyuanhen walked into the inner hall, what he saw was still the sleeping figure of Zhuo Ran, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable, day after day, he could only look at that person lying on the bed, and couldn't even say a word.

Touching Zhuo Ran's cheek, he wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say in the end, he just quietly looked at the paler man, the rise and fall of his chest was so weak that he had to look carefully to see it.

I'm afraid that the root cause of the disease has fallen by now.

"Suzaku, come out, I know you're here."

After a long time, a faint sigh came from behind the curtain, and the woman in black walked out slowly.

Xuanyuanhen didn't speak, got up and left the inner hall, Suzaku just followed silently.

There is a bamboo grove in the back garden of Quehua Hall, and there are stone tables and benches inside. It looks like a chess table. Xuanyuanhen stands in the center of the bamboo grove with his hands behind his back, staring at Suzaku but not opening his mouth. He knows that Suzaku has something to say.

"Master, have you ever regretted it?"

"I'm just sorry, but I never regret it. I don't regret using strong means to snatch him away, but my heart aches after all."

"Then—His Majesty didn't intend to set him free?"

"nature."

"Then please listen to your subordinates, master, it's better to feed him that Ningpo earlier."

Suzaku didn't understand De Yu and Xuanyuanhen's hesitation. He always felt that keeping Zhuoran's martial arts was a hidden danger after all. Anyway, what His Majesty wanted was a bedside person, so what's the use of martial arts.

Besides, Zhuo Ran's past is not simple.

"You don't understand... I am absolutely unwilling to break his wings and make him just a plaything." He already has too many playthings, and what he wants is all of Zhuo Ran!

"However, according to the investigation of the subordinates these days, Zhuoran and the Tian family probably have a lot of enmity."

"Oh?" Xuanyuanhen didn't know much about Zhuoran's past, but simply speculated that he had a certain relationship with the royal family, but he didn't expect Suzaku to have a clue so soon.

Seeing this increasingly outstanding subordinate with admiration, Xuanyuanhen's eyes were full of joy.

"Ten years ago, Concubine Wu Shu had an affair with others. After being discovered by the late emperor, she was abandoned in the Qingliang Palace. The late emperor loved this beautiful young daughter of the Wu family in Jiangnan very much. Naturally, he was furious. In his anger, he sent people to the cold palace to give medicine, but found Concubine Wu Shu It is no longer in the cold palace."

Xuanyuanhen also had some ideas in his mind, and continued: "Father is naturally not reconciled, but the royal family has a scandal, so I have to find a way to conceal it, so I announced the death of Concubine Wu Shu to the world."

"That's right, but the late emperor was unwilling to let those two go, and secretly sent people from the six sects to continue the investigation."

"That person is Zhuo Ran?"

"That's right, that person is Young Master Zhuo, Zhuo Feiqing who became famous in the world ten years ago as an 'Iron Faced God'."

"The God of Iron Face is interesting. I've heard of it before, but I didn't expect it to be him." Earlier there were some rumors in the palace that the God of Iron Face moved the capital. Xuanyuanhen was also at the curious age before, so he remembered something when he heard it, and even wanted to meet him for a while, but later he heard that the Tie Mian Shen catcher had disappeared for no reason, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Young Master Zhuo is the pillar of the six gates. The late emperor called him into the palace secretly due to constipation."

"With father's lustful temperament, why didn't you fall in love with him?"

The first emperor had a lustful nature, he ate all men and women, everyone in the government and the public had heard about it, and the harem was even more beautiful, and raised many young people in a fair and honest manner, playing and singing every day, and before forty, he was like an octogenarian old man, rejuvenated He took countless pills, but they finally killed him.

"Mr. Zhuo always wore a mask back then, that's why he was called 'Iron Mask'. Everyone in the world guessed that his face was ruined by some accident, but they never thought it was because he didn't want others to see his overly clear and beautiful appearance. Worry in vain."

"Well, no matter whether Zhuo Ran pursues her or not, if she goes back to Concubine Wu Shu, I'm afraid she will die."

"That's right, Mr. Zhuo resigned immediately after failing in his mission, and the late Emperor never asked him to stay. However, his subordinates discovered in the case file that Shenshatang had mobilized a group of masters wantonly ten years ago."

God Killing Hall was a killer organization controlled by the queen clan back then. Everyone in the Jianghu knew that its background was tough, but they didn't think about the royal family. Xuanyuanhen only knew that the queen clan also dabbled in the rivers and lakes after he ascended the throne.

"Zuo Ran didn't die, I really admire him."

"That's right, Mr. Zhuo became famous in Jianghu with the 'Yueluo Xinghe Sword' back then, and he was famous for his outstanding demeanor. However, according to the records of the God Killing Hall, they all thought that Mr. Zhuo was dead, but they didn't know Why did you escape unharmed?"

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, so don't worry too much about it." Xuanyuan Hen cared about another thing at this time. Ten years ago, when he met that person, was it too coincidental, or——

"All in all, Mr. Zhuo has a deep relationship with the royal family, and it's not a good relationship. Please be more careful, master."

"I know, but you don't need to intervene too much in Zhuoran's matter."

Suzaku sighed, and said: "Master's affairs, the subordinates have no way to intervene." There was a bit of resentment in the tone, Suzaku is a woman, her mind is also delicate, and she is only thinking about Xuanyuanhen. Xuanyuanhen's words let her Somewhat unwilling.

However, she will not give up, Zhuo Ran will only be the emperor's hindrance, maybe the emperor's first life's fame will be ruined in the hands of this man, and she will never allow this to happen!
