Empress

Su Xi stared blankly at Rong Cheng.

Rong Cheng said: "Let's go together, take Yu'an with us, and live like before."

"Before?" Su Xi chewed these two words, and suddenly sneered, "I have long forgotten the days before."

He raised his head, his eyes were scarlet, "What's more, where do you want me to go? Live a life of escape with you for the rest of your life?" Rong Cheng looked at him, his eyes and eyebrows were the same as before, helpless and gentle.

Su Xi hated his eyes very much, and said sharply: "Am I crazy? Why should I give up my current position of power and live in fear with you?" Rong Cheng said: "Because you don't want to do things for Yue Cang. "

Su Xi's chest heaved up and down, as if he was being talked about, he said in a rage, "Rong Cheng, we can't go back together." After saying that, he slammed the door and left, the candles on the wall were blown by the blowing wind off.Rong Cheng lowered his head, looked at the big pool of blood under his feet, and let out a long breath.After that day, Su Xi never came to the secret room again.

On the contrary, Yue Cang came here once, the wound on his head was bandaged, it was injured by Rong Cheng in the pool that day.Yue Cang reprimanded the servants, "You are tied like this, how can he practice dancing and music, let him go." The palace people stepped forward to untie Rong Cheng.

He hanged for a full two days, and his whole body lost his strength. As soon as the iron chains around his wrists were loosened, he fell to the cold ground.

Yue Cang squatted down and looked down at him, "I'll give you three days to prepare, if you dare to lose my face, I'll give you to those courtiers to play with." Rong Cheng didn't know if he heard clearly, his breath was warm Hot, red lips.

Yue Cang felt itchy in his heart, stretched out his hand and squeezed it hard, and ordered the palace servants to drag Rong Cheng out of the secret room.Rong Cheng was taken to another room, where there were all kinds of musical instruments, like a large concert hall.

Yue Cang looked around, picked up the pipa at hand, and plucked the strings, "You can choose what you want to perform, the only thing is, after three days, you must satisfy me and return home."

After everyone had left, Rong Cheng forced himself to sit up and leaned against the wall, exhaling hot air from his mouth.He took a look at the furnishings of this room, it was very similar to the one in Longyue Mansion, but not like it.Less torture stuff.

Rong Cheng remembered that when he first entered the palace, Guan Hongfeng sent him to Longyue Mansion in order to make him learn to be obedient.That was Rong Cheng's first taste of purgatory on earth.

All kinds of tormenting methods in it took away his arrogance as a royal family, and what remained was only the instinct to survive.

Rong Cheng stayed in Longyue Mansion for seven days, his whole body was covered with whip marks, thick calluses developed on his hands, his legs were broken, he lingered like a walking dead.After performing for an unknown number of times, Guan Hongfeng was finally satisfied and took him out of Longyue Mansion himself.The dim yellow of the setting sun came in through the window and sprinkled on Rong Cheng's feet. He stared blankly and reached out to touch it.Maybe this time I really can't survive.A day passed, and Rong Cheng didn't even touch those musical instruments.If he wants to please those courtiers in order to live, he would rather die.At night, Rong Cheng leaned against the wall, fell into a drowsy sleep, and had a dream.

He dreamed that he was taken to the main hall, the hall was full of people, and Yue Cang sat on the throne in a dragon robe.

Everyone was looking at him, those eyes were terrifying, like wolves, like eagles, as if turning into knives and cutting Rong Cheng's body.A huge bronze mirror hung above his head, and Rong Cheng saw himself wearing a red phoenix robe, with red lips, weird and crazy.As the music played, Rong Cheng danced uncontrollably, his body swaying, soft and boneless.

Looking up again, Guan Hongfeng's figure appeared in front of his eyes. Holding a sharp knife, he pierced Yue Cang's chest, threw him aside, and sat on the throne by himself.The two looked at each other, and Guan Hongfeng's jealousy became red.

Rong Cheng was terrified, he wanted to stop, but his hands and feet didn't listen, and he slowly moved forward, getting closer and closer to Guan Hongfeng.

The sword was at his throat.

Guan Hongfeng smiled with red eyes, "You lowly musician, you dare to leave me, you don't want to live anymore?"

Rong Cheng's throat rolled, he looked at the person in front of him, for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was Yue Cang or Guan Hongfeng.

With a bang, the blood-stained sword was thrown aside, Guan Hongfeng pressed Rong Cheng on the imperial case, stripped off the red phoenix robe, and took possession of him as if venting his anger.The music stopped, the room was silent, those ministers disappeared together with Yue Cang's body.Rong Cheng opened his eyes suddenly, the red eyes reflected the pattern of the dragon on the top of the hall.It turned out to be a dream.

The irritability lingering in my heart dissipated, leaving only an inexplicable sourness.Dawn broke, and the time for the third day came.

Rong Cheng leaned against the corner, staring at the direction of the door, waiting for the death penalty like decapitation to arrive.However, until it was dark, the palace servants did not take him out.

Rong Cheng keenly felt that something had happened, otherwise Duan Juan would not have delayed this far.He leaned against the wall and stood up, came to the door, opened the door to go out, but was stopped by the palace guards.Rong Cheng asked hoarsely: "But what happened?" The two palace servants looked at each other, but no one responded to his words.

Rong Cheng didn't ask any more questions. He was about to turn around and go back when a familiar voice came from behind, "Your Majesty suddenly fell ill, so the banquet was canceled." Rong Cheng turned his head and saw Su Xi standing behind him.He frowned, "Sudden illness?"

Su Xi looked at Rong Cheng with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.Rong Cheng didn't have time to think about it in the future, so he heard Su Xi say: "Let's go." The palace servants with a cup of tea, the two came outside the emperor's palace.Su Xi knelt outside the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is here."

"Come in." A hoarse voice came from inside, accompanied by a dying cough.Rong Cheng heard the voice clearly belonged to Yue Cang, but why did he sound like an old man overnight? He didn't know why, so he followed Su Xi into the hall.

The room was lifeless, filled with a pungent smell of medicine.

Lying on the dragon bed, Yue Cang no longer had the vigor he had before, his face was ashen as dust, as if he had been poisoned, and he lost a lot of weight.Rong Cheng was shocked.

It's just that we haven't seen each other for a few days, how could Yue Cang become like this? The imperial physician beside the bed stood up and shook his head at Su Xi.Su Xi looked solemn, "You go down first." The imperial physician bowed his head and exited the palace.

Yue Cang opened his eyes, his eyeballs were cloudy and bloodshot, and he said coldly: "A group of quack doctors can't even cure this little ailment." He first glanced at Su Xi, and then stared straight at Rong Cheng.After a while, Yue Cang suddenly asked: "But you poisoned me?"

It was only then that Rong Cheng understood the meaning of Su Xi's eyes, he said coldly: "If I poison you, you will not live today." Yue Cang said solemnly.

He also knew that Rong Cheng had no chance to get close to him, let alone poison him.What's more, whether it is poisoning or not, even the imperial doctor can't diagnose it.His heart moved, and he suddenly looked at Su Xi.

Su Xi's heart trembled, and he knelt down suddenly, "Your Majesty, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Yue Cang stared at him with pitch-black eyes, and he coughed and closed his eyes, not knowing whether to believe it or not.When Rong Cheng was brought back to the secret room, Su Xi was still kneeling in the hall.

He used to be Yue Cang's bedside person, and he was also forced to become a male favourite, the person who is most likely to strike is Su Xi.Ke Rongcheng always felt that this matter was not that simple.

If Su Xi wanted to kill, why wait until now, when he could have searched for beautiful men in the world for Yue Cang, let the male favorite find a chance to strike.What's more, when something happened to Yue Cang, Su Xi must be the first person to be suspected, he would not be so stupid.But who in this palace still wants Yue Cang to die?

Rong Cheng was dizzy and didn't bother to think about it. Whoever did it had done him a big favor.

Coincidentally at this time, I don't have to go up to the stage like an actor and be treated like a monkey. What's more, if Yue Cang dies, maybe he still has a chance to leave Xiangyang Gongguo.That night, Rong Cheng finally had a good night's sleep.

Xu Shi was looking forward to Yue Cang's retribution, and even in his dreams, he dreamed that the lunatic died, bleeding from his seven orifices, and died in pain.Rong Cheng woke up with a smile.

There was a delivered meal at the door, and he walked over to pick it up precariously, when he heard palace servants chewing their tongues from outside.

It turned out that the imperial physicians in the palace could not cure Yue Cang's illness for a long time. The emperor began to recruit famous doctors, but he was worried that the news of the poisoning of the king of a country would cause turmoil in the court and unrest in the people, so he lied that he was the most favored man in the harem. The pet has been poisoned, as long as the capable person can cure his disease, he will be rewarded.

Rong Cheng leaned against the door and ate cold food, thinking coldly, he hoped that no one could save Yue Cang, just let him die of illness like this.The next day, famous doctors began to visit the palace.

However, there were rumors in the palace, saying that he was an imperial doctor who could not cure the disease. Yue Cang killed him in order to prevent the leakage of his poisoning, and then lied that he sent the famous doctor out of the city. In fact, all the corpses were thrown into the well in the backyard of the emperor's palace. .

Rong Cheng sat behind the door and listened to this, thinking that in a short time, Yue Cang would not be able to kill anyone, after all he would not live long.Rong Cheng began to count the days, waiting for the day of the national funeral.At that time, he can take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Rong Cheng carved strokes on the wall, day by day passed, but what he was looking forward to did not happen.

I heard from the guards outside that a famous doctor from the north treated Yue Cang, and it was quite effective. Given time, His Majesty may be able to recover.When Rong Cheng heard the news, his heart sank a little.

He originally thought that Yue Cang would definitely die, but he never thought that such a fate would last until this time, and he even brought in a skilled imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.This night, a round of bright moon hangs on the dome, and the dark night is like a black cloth, swallowing dead trees.

Rong Cheng was leaning against the corner, sleeping in a drowsy state, and vaguely heard voices coming from outside, "According to His Majesty's order, I ordered me to diagnose and treat the people inside if they have infectious diseases."

The next moment, the door of the secret room opened, and someone stepped on the light and walked in.

Rong Cheng opened his eyes with difficulty, and in the blurred vision, a tall figure came in front of him, as if looking at him.He raised his head, and when he saw the person coming, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his breathing became short of breath in an instant.Physician Pan stood in front of him with his back to the light, made a hissing gesture, and pointed behind him.Rong Cheng suddenly realized something.

It turned out that Imperial Physician Pan was the famous doctor who treated Yue Cang.
