end of days

"Your Majesty, please set Young Master Zhuo free." Pei Zheng stared at Xuanyuanhen sitting in front of the desk, without a trace of flinching, "Your Majesty's feelings are too heavy for Young Master, and Young Master Zhuo is not He is a cheerful person, he is very thoughtful, His Majesty will drive him crazy if he treats him like this!"

Xuanyuanhen's face froze, obviously he had heard what Concubine De said, but...

"Peizheng, I acquiesce in allowing you and Xiaoyu to visit him. I want you to comfort him, but you complained to me instead!" Xuanyuanhen obviously didn't want to let Zhuo Ran leave like this. Although he was struggling in his heart, but for Zhuo Ran The obsession finally trumps everything.

"The concubine is not complaining. I can't force things to happen. Your Majesty's authorities are obsessed. Naturally, I can't see the young master getting haggard..."

"Presumptuous!" Xuanyuanhen slammed the case, he and Zhuo Ran didn't need others to point out the matter, he could see all the changes of Zhuo Ran, why did the people in front of him say that he was a fan of the authorities!But...he actually felt a little guilty for no reason.

He saw Zhuo Ran's getting thinner day by day, but he didn't want to admit it. Xuanyuan Hen always felt that after a while, Zhuo Ran might be able to accept himself, as long as...give him some time...

"The concubine is overstepping the rules, but the concubine... doesn't want to watch Mr. Zhuo die like this. He is a person who longs for freedom. How can he bear the iron chains on his wrists and... His Majesty's persecution."

"Get out!" Xuanyuanhen pointed at the door of the imperial study room. He only felt that there was a fire in his chest that made him feel uncomfortable all over his body, but he also knew that he was venting his anger on Concubine De. The reason...he himself have no idea.

Xuanyuanhen had already fallen into obsession, and Zhuo Ran was not the only one trapped in the cage he set up by himself.

"This is all I've said, I just hope His Majesty can let the son live, otherwise...he will really die." Pei Zheng's voice trembled a little, her teeth even bit her lower lip fiercely, but Xuanyuan Hen He just lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

Sighing, Pei Zheng could only return disappointed.

"Zhen..." The moment Pei Zheng left, Xuanyuanhen seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it after all.

Why don't I want to let the two of us live together... Xuanyuanhen swallowed the sigh in his mouth, lowered his head and flipped through the memorial, but the hand holding the pen trembled a little.

The copy on the imperial case was just delivered to the palace this morning, Xuanyuanhen looked at it, his brows gradually wrinkled.

"Xiao Yan, you are really courageous!" The paper was densely recorded, all of which were the recent movements of the Xiao family's money and food, and it seemed that they were going to make some moves.

"I just wanted to try you, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient!" Xuanyuan Hen's complexion turned cold all of a sudden, and his gaze instantly became bottomless.

"Come here, Xuanhubu Shangshu and Military Ministry Shangshu enter the palace." A ruthless light flashed in Xuanyuanhen's eyes, which was the light that belonged only to the king.

After some secret discussions, when the two ministers came out of the palace, it was already the climax of the moon.

"Master, do you want to pass on the meal?" Seeing Xuanyuanhen rubbing his shoulders, Deyu hurriedly leaned forward, the emperor has been exhausted recently, the government is in chaos because the prime minister Xiao Yan deliberately tripped him up, and there is nothing on the battlefield Entering the country is emotionally full of twists and turns.Especially in the matter of relationship, De Yu felt very uncomfortable watching it, and only felt that the two people were tormenting each other, which really worried outsiders like them.

"No need." Xuanyuanhen waved his hand and got up and went to the sleeping hall. He hadn't seen Zhuo Ran for a day, and he missed him very much, but he was always in Yaohui Hall, and he felt a kind of fear in his heart. He was afraid of seeing Zhuo Ran like this When he looked at it, it felt like there was a huge boulder hanging above his head, which would fall down at any moment and smash everything into pieces!

Xuanyuanhen's eager footsteps gradually slowed down as he approached the Yaohui Hall, and he gently pushed open the door of the inner hall, and in an instant, a feeling of heartache surged up.

Zhuo Ran was still sitting there like that, thinking about something, his complexion was still bad, and his whole body was also thin and ugly.

It turns out...he is really much more haggard than he thought, it turns out...De Fei's accusations are all true...

The previous self-deception suddenly turned into an instant lie because of De Fei's words, and I have already pushed Zhuo Ran to the limit!

However, he still didn't want to let go, Xuanyuanhen's nails even sank into his palm, leaving a trace of blood, but the struggle in his heart was enough for him to ignore any pain.

The person in front of him belongs to him!But what he wanted was definitely not a broken... corpse.

Zhuo Ran, who was sitting in front of the window, suddenly shivered, as if the cold at night made him a little unbearable. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hen strode forward, took off the robe on the shelf and put it on Zhuo Ran's body, and then fell down again Let him hold the cup of hot tea in his hand and cover it until his hands are no longer as cold as before, then he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Come here, pass on the meal." Xuanyuanhen ordered, and then sat down and hugged Zhuo Ran into his arms. Zhuo Ran didn't refuse, but obviously he didn't want to cooperate.

Xuanyuanhen looked at the iron chain attached to Zhuo Ran's wrist in a daze. Originally, he wanted to trap Zhuo Ran by his side, but now it became an annoyance. It was wrong to advance or retreat.

Xuanyuanhen smiled wryly, and sighed softly: "It's only you, Feiqing, who can make me so troubled." After finishing speaking, he strengthened his hand a bit, and pulled Zhuoran tightly into his arms, Even in the heart.

It didn't take long before the maids began to pass on the meals one after another. Xuanyuanhen looked at the dishes on the table and nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the imperial chef still cares about Zhuo Ran. At least the meals are light and easy to digest. Very suitable for Zoran's conditioning.

At the dinner table, both of them were silent, Xuanyuanhen concentrated on serving dishes for Zhuoran, while Zhuoran silently ate what Xuanyuanhen had given to him, they got along harmoniously after coming and going, but in the end A little camaraderie is missing.Xuanyuanhen was afraid that the two of them would get along like this in the future, without disputes, but with no interest in life.

Until Zhuo Ran finally stopped accepting the food he handed over, Xuanyuan Hen knew that Zhuo Ran was full, so he put down his chopsticks in distress, Xuanyuan Hen waved his hand to signal the maid to take away the leftovers on the table, and then walked out alone Yaohui Hall.

The night is beautiful, and you can still smell the scent of lotus in your nose, but Xuanyuanhen has no intention of appreciating all these, and the surrounding scenery seems to have nothing to do with him, but, the lonely emperor, gradually melted into it. In the boundless night.

All of this is in Zhuo Ran's eyes. When he is alone, he always looks out the window.

Xuanyuanhen didn't know that in Yaohui Palace, Zhuo Ran's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

Stepping unconsciously, until the sound of chirping birds came from around, Xuanyuanhen suddenly realized that he had reached the depths of the woods, and there seemed to be a faint light of fire in the palace not far away. Xuanyuanhen thought for a long time before finally He found that he had actually walked to the Hall of Qingxin, which he had not been to for a long time.

Empress Dowager Liu was placed under house arrest here.

Xuanyuanhen originally wanted to go back the same way, but suddenly his mind moved, he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he didn't know how she was doing, so he made up his mind to visit this woman whom he had admired so much.

Before entering the gate of the palace, there was a sound of wooden fish coming from afar, and the sound of chanting was also mixed with it. Empress Dowager Liu's voice was much deeper and hoarse than before. Life has worn down her former high spirits into vicissitudes.

Xuanyuanhen gently pushed open the long-closed palace door, and the sound of "squeak--" was extremely abrupt in the silence of the night, and the sound of chanting sutras in the room also stopped abruptly.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird, Xuanyuanhen didn't speak, and Empress Dowager Liu didn't make a sound. For a while, the whole hall could only hear the slight sound of breathing and the occasional "beeping" sound of candles.

Xuanyuanhen looked at the thin figure in the cell silently for a long time before turning around to leave.

He didn't have anything to say to this woman, it was just a thought, just now he did this, but he regretted it after entering the hall, it was really embarrassing.

But before stepping out of the threshold, Queen Mother Liu's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.

"Buddhism has eight sufferings, and His Majesty must also be caught in them."

"There is no way to go forward or backward. Your Majesty's suffering is something I can't ask for..."

The hoarse voice made Xuanyuanhen stop suddenly.

I can't ask for it... I can't ask for it... I really can't ask for it...
