"Are you really going to take us wandering around the rivers and lakes?" The orchid flower spirit looked surprised, asking non-stop on the way back to the palace.

The sparrow spirit was very excited, "I think it's good to go out for a walk. I have lived in the palace for so many years, and I have never gone outside the capital. I heard that Lingyin Mountain is a holy place for cultivating immortals. We might as well live there for a long time. One really became a fairy."

Orchid Flower Essence: "But I think the palace is also very good. Both Lu Li and I are there, and the Shixiang Garden is full of aura. The most important thing is that the emperor likes Lu Li very much, and the emperor is protecting us... ..."

"Which of your eyes saw that he liked me?" Lu Li interrupted the orchid essence irritably.

Originally, he should have been mentally prepared for such a day.After all, he and Murong Yao are two people, and they were bound together because of a strange agreement. They formed an alliance because of their interests. Now that Murong Yao has achieved his goal, they parted as expected.

However, Lu Li was still inexplicably unhappy.They have gone through so much ups and downs together, they can be regarded as friends after all, but Murong Yao really doesn't want to keep him at all.Sure enough, a man is just a sweet talker, and he said all kinds of nasty things when he used him. Now that he is back in power, he abandons himself and ignores him.

This trick to cross the river and demolish the bridge is really easy to use!

But it's okay, if he really pesters me, it's troublesome, it's not a big deal, everyone will have nothing to do with each other in the future, isn't it good?Lu Li thought sourly.

Lan Huajing said sincerely, "I can see it with both eyes, the emperor has been very nervous about you, alas~"

"Maybe your eyes are blurred! When I get back my own money, we will go out and have fun. If you don't want to go, you can stay in the palace. Maybe you can find an official position with Murong Yao." Lu Li Said angrily.

If he had known earlier, he should have taken the silver to the bank to change it into bank notes, and carried it with him, so that he could run away at any time.As a result, now I have to go back to the palace to get the silver. In every world, it is difficult to move without money, and only with money can I be at ease.

The orchid spirit said: "You and the sparrow spirit are leaving, I will definitely go with you! I have never been to the outside world, and I want to travel around. I don't know anything, how can I find a job in the palace?" Official position?"

Seeing his stupid look, Lu Li probably wouldn't survive long in the palace.He was restless, and he didn't pay any attention to the orchid essence and sparrow essence.

Ahead is the capital city, and the gates of the city have been replaced, probably all guarded by Zhang Gong's army.Murong Yao's journey back to Beijing was unimpeded, and the forces of Uncle Wei and Prime Minister Qin in the city had already been removed.

At this moment, Lu Li also had to admire Murong Yao, who had already arranged everything, and he was with Murong Yao every day, but he never noticed Murong Yao's movements.What's even more rare is that he was able to make the layout just right, and wiped out the two old foxes, Qin Xiang and Wei Guoshu.

It turned out that it was not Prime Minister Qin who was preparing to rebel in Beijing, but Uncle Wei Guo. Prime Minister Qin was just waiting for the opportunity.After Uncle Wei Guo accepted the charge of usurping power and the throne, he would act on the "side of the Qing emperor". How could he expect his son Qin Kun to miss outside the city.

Now that the forces of Prime Minister Qin and Uncle Wei have been controlled, after Murong Yao entered the capital, all the officials greeted him at the city gate to return to the court.After Murong Yao entered the palace, he went directly to the Qianqiu Hall with all the officials, and started to deal with the mess in the court.

Lu Li didn't have time to go to Murong Yao to ask about the money, so he was so angry that he had to go back to Zhaoyang Palace.

But Murong Yao seemed to be so busy that he forgot about him at this time, and he didn't even come over to say hello to him.That's right, Murong Yao has finally come to power, and now he is on the rise. From now on, he can get whatever he wants, and he can't even get him.

Lu Li felt more and more panicked in his heart, it was like raising a white-eyed wolf, and now his wings were stiff and he ignored him.

Lu Li went back to Zhaoyang Palace and asked Chai Gui and Chai Yang to move the grand master's chair and put it in the yard, and he sat on it and lay down.Seeing his gloomy face, Chai Gui and Chai Yang hurriedly beat his legs and shoulders, but unfortunately the anger in Lu Li's heart could not be extinguished no matter what.

The sparrow spirit stayed at the farm for a few months, had more contact with the officers and soldiers of the farm, and became more courageous than before, and no longer feared humans as before.Not long after Orchid Jing took shape, everything she saw felt novel, so she and Sparrow Jing walked around the Luohuang Pavilion.

"The emperor's bedroom used to look like this, Lu Li, do you live here too?"

Lu Li was depressed and didn't want to talk to them, but Chai Gui and Chai Yang chatted enthusiastically with Lan Huajing: "Young Master Lu is deeply loved by the emperor, so naturally he lives here with the emperor..."

"Who told you to talk too much!" Lu Lizheng was upset, and glared at Chai Gui angrily, but Chai Gui shut up resentfully.

Mr. Lu is really irritable today!

Lu Li stood up and went straight to the room to collect his money.It seems that Murong Yao must have a lot of things to deal with today, if he really waits, maybe he won't be able to wait until night for Murong Yao to come back.

The silver that Murong Yao promised to him can be taken if he can, and if he can't get it, let it be. Anyway, he brought the silver he won in the past six months to the road, and it should be enough for a while.

He has hands, feet, and brains. With some capital in his hands, it will not be difficult to make money in the future.

He took a look at the situation of the room. Murong Yao's room was very plainly furnished. Although calligraphy, painting and ceramics were valuable, they were hard to get.Finally, his eyes fell on the inkstone on the desk. Since it was used by the emperor, it should be equivalent to two thousand silver.

He had been acting with Murong Yao tremblingly for such a long time, but he couldn't get the agreed money, so it shouldn't be an exaggeration to take an inkstone as collateral, right?

Lu Li packed up his clothes, silver and inkstone, greeted the orchid essence and sparrow essence, and prepared to leave the palace.

Seeing this, Chai Gui and Chai Yang were frightened to death, and hurriedly asked to stay: "Young master Lu, even if you want to leave, you have to wait for the emperor to come back before leaving! If you leave like this, the little head will be lost."

Lu Li: "Your emperor is benevolent and loves the people. At most, he will let you eat a few boards, and will not kill you."

"Young Master Lu, there are spies in the palace everywhere outside now. If you go out like this, if they treat you as a spy, what should you do? Let's wait a bit, the emperor may come back soon." Chai Gui persuaded with a bitter face.

"Well, Lu Li, I think what he said makes sense. Let's wait for a while until the emperor comes back. You saw it when we came in just now. There are officers and soldiers guarding everywhere outside." Orchid Essence also helped Persuasion, he doesn't quite understand why Lu Li is in such a hurry.

Anyway, they have lived in Shixiang Garden for so many years, so they should not be in a hurry for a while.

Lu Li snorted coldly, and said to the naive Orchid Essence: "What if he wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and get rid of you and me without anyone noticing it? Haven't you heard of the saying "cooking a rabbit to death?"

Nonsence!He is not a dog!

"Young Master Lu is talking nonsense again, the emperor's love for Young Master Lu is obvious to all the little ones, how could the emperor do such a thing?" Chai Yang said with a flattering smile.

Orchid Essence thought for a moment, then nodded, "If the emperor wants to get rid of you, he won't stand in front of you when the temple is destroyed. Maybe in that case, we will get rid of us without anyone noticing. .”

"Yes, yes! Lu Li, I also don't think the emperor is that kind of person!" The sparrow spirit also echoed.

Lu Li twitched the corners of his mouth, they only knew Murong Yao for a few days, and they helped Murong Yao speak well!They don't understand Murong Yao's personality at all!

However, going out of the palace does cost money everywhere, and the money must be too much.He advised Murong Yao, solved the financial crisis for him, and left in despair without getting paid, he was really aggrieved.And it is indeed as Chai Gui said, all the guards in the palace have been changed now, and few people recognize him. If he is really treated as a suspicious person, it will be called injustice.

After waiting for Lu Li, he waited until the evening, and the imperial dining room prepared a sumptuous dinner for him and Lan Huajing.The cooking skills of the chefs in the imperial dining room are still very good. The ingredients are all natural and pollution-free. After leaving the palace, I don’t know if I can still meet such appetizing delicacies.

Lu Li and Lanhua Jing had dinner together, while Sparrow Jing was looking for bugs to eat on the big tree in the yard.

After the meal, Chai Gui and Chai Yang brought over a lot of pastries and fruits, and Lu Li packed them all up.After leaving the palace, no matter what he eats, he needs money, so he has to think carefully now.

The orchid essence consumed a lot of spiritual energy today. He had just transformed into a form not long ago, so he lay down on the chair and fell asleep when he couldn't hold on.Lu Li urged Chai Gui to ask several times, and the answer he got was that the emperor was still working hard on the affairs of the court, and the ministers of the court spent all day discussing with the emperor in Linde Hall about how to deal with the remaining party's problems.

Qin Xiang and Uncle Wei Guo have held the court for many years. Their downfall has vacated many important positions in the court. Now there is no one in charge to avoid trouble. The emperor and General Zhang Gong and Master Li are still thinking about countermeasures all night. All meals are served together in Linde Hall.

Murong Yao also had someone bring him a message, saying that it had been so long and he didn't care about such a day, let Lu Li go to bed first, and he would come back naturally when he finished his work.

Lu Li held his breath in his heart, but now that the two major powers are down, it makes sense that Murong Yao is busy, so he had to stay in Luohuang Pavilion.The orchid essence was arranged by Chai Gui in the Tingxueyuan not far away. The sparrow essence is still a bird, and it just finds a branch to sleep.

Lu Li was lying on the bed, and now he was finally about to leave, but the expected relaxation and happiness did not come.He always inadvertently thought of the details between Murong Yao and him, but in fact nothing happened, they were forced to live under the same roof.

Thinking that Murong Yao and other concubines would be in this dragon bed in the future, Lu Li's heart felt as if someone had poured lemon juice into it, it was so sour.

After realizing his thoughts, Lu Li was stunned for a moment. After staying with Murong Yao for too long, his psychology changed accordingly?

Murong Yao was originally a man, and he was still the emperor, and he would inherit the throne in the future. In this era, the Sangong Sixth Court is too normal.After I go out, I can also find a gentle and beautiful woman to live with. Isn't it right to think so? !

Lu Li then continued to think about what kind of partner he should find. The other half should not be bad in appearance, after all, he is a face control.She must have a pair of beautiful eyes, and be gentle and refined when she smiles...

Lu Li began to imagine the appearance of his dream lover, but after thinking about it, Murong Yao's face suddenly appeared in his mind...

Sure enough, you can't stay with one person for too long, otherwise your life will be full of the shadow of the other person.

Lu Li gradually fell into a dream in this kind of entanglement, and after an unknown period of time, the magic weapon appeared again, and the abundant spiritual energy lingered around him, and he felt that he was bathing in the gentle sunshine.

Lu Li chased after that ray of sunlight, and vaguely saw a slim woman.The woman's back was facing him, with a tall and graceful figure, wearing a goose-yellow veil, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a golden step rock on her head. Just the back view is enough to make people feel good.

Lu Li walked towards her and greeted her warmly: "Hi!"

The beauty turned around slowly, and with Murong Yao's face on her face, she said in a coquettish voice, "Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he opened his eyes, he realized that it was a dream. Murong Yao's handsome face was magnified in front of his eyes, and he was hugging Murong Yao with his arms and legs wrapped around him.

At this moment, Murong Yao's eyes are closed tightly, there is a circle of black and blue under the eyes, and he looks very tired.He fell asleep very peacefully, a little more softly than usual, which made Lu Li's heart flutter.

Lu Li quickly let go of his hand, and unexpectedly found that he was still pillowing on Murong Yao's arm, no wonder he had such a nightmare.

In the past, Murong Yao was very vigilant. At night, if he made a little movement, Murong Yao would wake up, but now Murong Yao was sleeping very deeply. He moved so loudly, but he still couldn't wake him up.

Lu Li really wanted to kick him awake and ask him to give him a badge to leave the palace, but when he saw the black circle under the other's eyes, Lu Li finally lay quietly on the other side.

Murong Yao is probably under a lot of psychological pressure these days, and now that he has finally solved his serious problem, he can sleep peacefully.

Lu Li looked at Murong Yao by the dim lights in the room, and had to say that the gods gave Murong Yao too much favor, not only gave him a smart mind, but also gave him a handsome face. The man saw it and was envious and jealous.

Lu Li stared at Murong Yao's face and thought for a long time, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. It wasn't until the candles in the room were about to burn out that he gradually felt sleepy again.

When he opened his eyes again, Murong Yao disappeared again, Lu Li ran to look for Chai Gui and Chai Yang, "Where's the emperor?"

Chai Gui hurriedly said: "Back to Mr. Lu, the emperor is going to court today, and he left before dawn."

Lu Li was anxious, "Did he say anything before he left? I'm leaving the palace today."

Chai Gui: "The emperor looked in a hurry in the morning, and left without saying anything. Seeing the exhaustion on the emperor's face, the younger one didn't have the heart to ask."

Lu Li: "...Then why didn't you wake me up! Didn't he even give you a silver ticket and a badge to leave the palace?"

Chai Gui trembled twice and shook his head.

Without the badge to leave the palace, Lu Li can't go anywhere, so he can only wait in Zhaoyang Palace.It took another whole day to wait, and after learning the lesson from yesterday, Lu Li stayed awake tonight, waiting for Murong Yao to come back to settle the score.

Finally, at midnight, Murong Yao came back.

Murong Yao still looked tired, only a pair of eyes were shining brightly.Seeing that Lu Li was still waiting for him, he smiled lightly, "It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"

His voice has a rare hoarseness, which makes it extraordinarily gentle.Lu Li was originally full of anger, but looking at Murong Yao like this, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

In line with the principle of getting together and getting together, Lu Li endured it and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The agreement between you and me has expired, please give me my silver ticket and the waist card for leaving the palace. I will leave tomorrow." .”

Murong Yao pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "Do you really want to leave that much? I hope you stay and govern this mountain and river together with me."

He spoke sincerely, and rarely used the tone of a king, but brought some pleadings that he had never had before.

There was a stir in Lu Li's heart. In fact, he also had this kind of passionate thought of doing his best in this world to create a bright future. Thinking about it, he felt very motivated.

However, he has been misunderstood as Murong Yao's male favourite, this status is embarrassing...

Lu Li turned around and didn't look at Murong Yao's face again, "My ambition is in the mountains and rivers, not in the temple. I hope the emperor can make it happen."

"It seems that I don't hold enough weight in your heart to keep you." Murong Yao felt a little disappointed, "Forget it, since you are leaving, I will have a few drinks with me tonight, I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again in the future. "

Although Lu Li also felt an indescribable loss in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, it was useless to think too much, so he accompanied Murong Yao to drink with the moon.

The ancients are right, if you have wine today and get drunk today, leave tomorrow's worries to tomorrow!

Chai Gui and Chai Yang set up wine utensils and dishes in the yard. The dishes were his favorite light dishes, and the wine was sweet sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing.

Lu Li felt unspeakably depressed, so he drank one cup after another. The sweet-scented osmanthus brew was mellow and refreshing, and it was very addictive.

He didn't know where the sorrow in his heart came from, maybe after half a year together, he already regarded Murong Yao as his friend in this world!It's a pity that Murong Yao never regarded him as a friend, thinking about it, he was just pretending to be affectionate.

Lu Li drank one glass after another, and drank half of the jar of wine. Murong Yao was as caring as ever, picking up food for him, pouring wine for him, "Come, have another drink."

Lu Li, who was drowsy, picked up the wine glass and drank it with his head up. He saw that the wine glass in front of Murong Yao hadn't moved, and said, "Why don't you drink it? You always persuade me to drink it, but you don't drink it yourself. What do you mean?" ? Do you think I'm not enough to be your friend?"

"Of course you are not my friend." Murong Yao said with a smile on his lips, "You are obviously my concubine."

"Who the hell is your concubine, after tomorrow, we will each go our own way, you take your Yangguan road, I cross my single-plank bridge, let's not cross it!"

The smile on Murong Yao's face remained undiminished, the person in front of him was like a hedgehog, inside it was obviously soft, but outside it had to use barbs to disguise itself.

"Really? But I can't bear to let you go. What should I do? After you leave, who will talk to me and relieve my boredom?"

Lu Li seemed to have spent a lot of effort to understand his words, he stared at Murong Yao for a long time, "I'm not a third escort!"

"Escort? What is an escort?"

"Eat and drink with me! You are in control now, what kind of beauties do you want in the future, don't worry about having no one to accompany you, you can change it every day." Lu Li said bitterly.

"Oh? It's a pity that I only want you to accompany me, I only want you to be by my side, so what should I do?" Murong Yao continued to ask.

He found that drunk Lu Li was very funny, no matter what he asked, Lu Li would answer, it was very interesting to be amused.

The drunk man narrowed his misty drunken eyes slightly, "What? Your majesty the emperor is interested in me?"

Murong Yao was amused by his words, "Don't you know my feelings for you? If that's the case, then I should be more direct..."

After Murong Yao finished speaking, he leaned over slightly, pinched his slightly raised chin, and pressed a kiss on the lips stained with sweet-scented osmanthus.

The drunk man suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyes stained with alcohol seemed to have a layer of water, illuminated by the palace lanterns in the courtyard, it was so beautiful.

Lu Li only felt the aftertaste of the wine surge up, making him unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality. He reached out to push the person in front of him away, but his outstretched hand didn't have any strength at all, instead it seemed like he wanted to greet but refused.

Murong Yao didn't let go of his lips, but at the same time grabbed the two hands on his chest and gently moved them into his arms, the drunk Lu Li fell like a grass blown down by the wind In Murong Yao's arms.

The two pressed closer.
