Meng Dong

Meng Dong's eyes lingered on the jade pendant for a long time, then turned to Yan Hong's bloody face, and finally landed on his blood-stained arm, slightly closed his eyes, sighed softly, and said: "I know The prince is strong and strong, brave and mighty, but he is also a body of flesh and blood, it is better to take the medicine first, after all, there is still a battle in Jiangling City waiting for the prince to preside over it."

Yan Hong lowered his head and glanced at his arm casually, then turned his head and said to his back, "Qingming."

Qingming got out from nowhere, took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from her arms, and held it in front of Meng Dong. holding.Meng Dong knew in his heart that Qing Ming was so persistent because of Yan Hong's instruction.

He shook his head helplessly, and finally reached out and took the medicine bottle.

A few palace guards held torches to illuminate the entire river bank, making Meng Dong even momentarily in a trance. The night had passed and the day had finally arrived.

But in the end it was just his illusion.

Yan Hong randomly found a place that looked dry, and sat down with the hem of his clothes lifted, clutching his injured arm, and looked at Meng Dong for a moment, as if waiting for his action.

Meng Dong squatted down beside him, pulled Yan Hong's arm onto his own leg, and by the light of the torch, he clearly saw the long, deep wound with blood gushing out, and couldn't help but gasped. .

Yan Hong let out a chuckle: "I didn't see you like this when your arm was injured."

Meng Dong didn't answer, he carefully tore off the cloth around the wound, exposing the whole wound completely, and gently wiped off the blood stains next to it with a damp cloth, and then slowly sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound Finally, the wound was completely bound up with the dry cloth that Qingming finally found.

It was obviously a very simple matter, but Meng Dong did it with great concentration, as if he was afraid that he would hurt Yan Hong if he was not careful, so that in this cool autumn night, a thin layer of sweat broke out from the tip of his nose.

Compared with his cautiousness, Yan Hong seemed much calmer, he didn't make any sound during the whole process, as if it wasn't his own arm that was hurt, his gaze was always on Meng Dong's face, and he even gently wiped Meng Dong's wound with his good hand. Sweat on the tip of the nose.

The night was really cold, and Yan Hong lost a lot of blood. His whole hand was cold, and it fell on Meng Dong's face. In the wild, that's all I can do. After the prince returns to Jiangling, I still need to find a good doctor to take a look." Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled mockingly, "Let's forget about Taoist Master Qingxin. , he is very competent as the prince's subordinate, but as a doctor, he is still a bit dangerous."

Yan Hong carelessly tidied his cuffs, and laughed when he heard the words: "Although Qingxin seems unreliable, he does know some medical skills. His father was once my father's doctor in the army, and he saved the lives of countless soldiers in the army." , He has been with his father since he was a child, which can be regarded as family learning, otherwise how can I rest assured that he can prescribe medicine for you. "

Meng Dong's eyes flickered slightly, and finally lowered his eyelids, his slightly long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his face, making it impossible to see his emotions.

Yan Hong looked at him for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand to gently wrap his shoulders around his shoulders, letting Meng Dong lean on him, just like countless times when the two of them were alone before.

Meng Dong leaned on Yan Hong's body, through the wet clothes on both of them, he could clearly feel the temperature of each other's body, and could even hear Yan Hong's heartbeat clearly.He knew that he should react at this time, or push Yan Hong away, turn his head and walk away, or say something, just like what he just said, to say goodbye to this person.But he still did nothing in the end, just leaned against Yan Hong and even closed his eyes.

When the two of them were alone countless times before, Yan Hong would always have some inexplicable little movements. For example, at this moment, he also held hands with Meng Dong, and rubbed the back of Meng Dong's hand with his fingers, gently and intimately.

I don't know how long it took, but when Meng Dong thought he could fall asleep soon, he heard Yan Hong's voice again: "Don't you have anything to ask? Or, should I ask you something?"

Meng Dong sighed from the bottom of his heart, slowly opened his eyes, broke himself out of Yan Hong's arms, and sat up straight: "I thought the prince had already controlled the whole situation and knew everything well, so I don't need to ask any more."

"It's not enough to control the overall situation. After all, I don't have the ability to influence Beiliang and Chu at the same time. I just use your hand to push the boat along." Yan Hong lowered his head, glanced at his empty arms, and looked up at Meng Dong , "I'm just guessing, and there are always some mistakes. For example, just now, if it weren't for your help, I might really die on this river."

"If the prince hadn't asked someone to protect his male favorite at a critical moment, even in the situation just now, it would not be impossible to escape from death." Meng Dong raised his head and looked into the deep night in the distance, "At the very least, it should be It will last until reinforcements arrive."

"Meng Dong," Yan Hong laughed lightly, "You always have to be reasonable. Since the day you entered the palace, when have I ever considered you as a male favourite?"

Meng Dong withdrew his gaze, met Shang Yanhong's deep eyes, lowered his head subconsciously, and carelessly scratched the ground a few times with his fingers, and said lightly: "Perhaps it's because the prince has been doing this since the day I entered the palace. Knowing my identity, naturally I don't dare to treat me as a male pet, after all, I always have concerns when I share the bed with someone like me every day." Speaking of this, the corners of Meng Dong's lips rose, and he drew a rather perverted smile. Laughing mockingly, "It's also fortunate that the lord can think of an excuse for not being able to have sex after taking the pill, and it's very smooth to dispel my doubts."

"How could I come up with such a wicked excuse?" Yan Hong stretched out his hand to hook Meng Dong's fingers that were poking the stones on the ground, "Actually, when I saw you in the Qiwu Pavilion that day, I really thought you were from that pavilion. However, after knowing your identity, I was always a little curious that a person of your status must be sent to the palace to be a male favorite, so I asked someone to check it out. , I always have to be more cautious, so I told Qingxin to find a way for me, who would have thought that he would take the opportunity to mock me, thinking of such a bad excuse, but I still couldn't refute it, leaving a beauty by my side for dozens of days, but You can't even touch it."

Meng Dong withdrew his fingers, ignoring the second part of his words: "The people in the palace are indeed very capable. Over the years, we have painstakingly arranged and carefully hidden, without leaving a single flaw, but they can still be found out by the people in the palace. .”

"It always took a lot of effort and time. After all these years, you have been careful enough." Seeing that Meng Dong ignored his joke, Yan Hong accepted the teasing on his face, and said seriously, "But as long as a person is alive, There will always be some traces left. Although Beiliang is a neighboring country, the fire in the Beiliang Palace is well known in Chu State. Although Emperor Guangxing has never been able to take it from my father in Jiangling Cheap, but to Beiliang, he was a good emperor who worked hard to govern, but somehow he was rebelled by the palace people and died in the palace. Inheriting the throne, there are many doubts about this matter, which is always impressive."

As Yan Hong was talking, he approached Meng Dong: "You also know that in the relationship between our two countries, there will always be a few of our own people on the other side, so some news is better informed. For example, there are rumors that after the rebellion, Guo Gu personally led people to clean up the mess, prepared for Emperor Guangxing, his concubines, and heirs, and carried out countless corpses from the wreckage, but the crown prince of Guangxing was missing. Presumably, the situation in the palace was chaotic that day It is not easy to save one's life, and how can one have time to prepare a corpse of a seven-year-old child to pretend to be the young prince? So in the first few years, Guo Gu was also very disturbed, and kept sending people to search in secret, wanting to Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots to completely eliminate this hidden danger, but as time passed, his throne was firmly established, so he completely forgot about it.

After all, in the eyes of an arrogant person like Guo Gu, even if a seven-year-old child escaped from the palace and survived by luck, what waves could it cause? "

Yan Hong let out a mocking laugh: "However, it is this seven-year-old child who hid in the Yanliu Alley of Chu State. He has endured humiliation for many years, and has come step by step to today, and finally laid out today's overall situation. I heard someone from the front line came According to the report, Guo Gu thought that the battle of Jiangling was inevitable, so he personally marched to the city of Jiangling. If my prediction is correct, this Emperor Yuanshou will never return to Ningzhou again, right?"

When Yan Hong mentioned Emperor Guangxing, Meng Dong lowered his head and looked at his feet motionless.It seemed that the monstrous fire that day appeared in front of his eyes again, and the screams of the palace people were still in his ears. He wrapped his hands around his knees and forced himself not to tremble. After a long time, he whispered: "The prince has already investigated So clear, what more is there to ask?"

"Because I can investigate what happened and guess your arrangement, but I can't guess people's hearts." Yan Hong stretched out his hand and pulled him back into his arms again, this time without being pushed away again, "And I think the matter has come to an end At this point, let’s be honest about everything, it’s good for you and me.”

Meng Dong slightly turned his head to look at it, moved his body, avoiding Yan Hong's injured hand, lowered his eyes to think for a while, and then sighed slowly: "I am indeed the Prince Guangxing of Beiliang. Back then, it was Guo Gu Instructed the palace people to rebel, set fire to the forbidden palace in the middle of the night, and burned my father and mother to death. I was rescued from the fire scene in the palace by my mother's personal maid. Finally, I arrived at Jiangling City. Later, there was the Qiwu Pavilion, painstakingly managed, step by step until today. But as you said, Guo Gu’s throne is already firmly seated, and I can’t do it on my own. It's delusional."

"I didn't expect to hear that Jiangling City has a ridiculous prince who likes men and is not doing business but holds a heavy army, right?" Yan Hong hooked Meng Dong's jaw with his finger and interrupted him, "So we designed the palace in Qiwu. The scene in the pavilion garden, took the opportunity to sneak into the palace?"

Meng Dong smiled and shook his head: "I just wanted to get acquainted with you first, slowly make friends with you, and then plot little by little around you. If you are really as brainless as the rumors say, I have countless I had an opportunity to provoke you to take the initiative to attack Beiliang, but I didn't think about it, and you misunderstood me..."

"It's too easy to get familiar with your face." Yan Hong looked at the person in his arms and sighed softly, "Although my reputation in the past was intentional, it is true that I prefer men. Feng, for no reason, such a young and handsome beauty came to my door, I naturally didn't want to refuse. Of course, I was more inclined at that time that you were a trick deliberately used by my uncle, so I deliberately kept her by my side to see if he would still There will be some tricks, but I didn't expect it, and I took a big advantage."

"I thought I was the one who took advantage of it." Meng Dong smiled lowly, "Successfully entering the palace, I have already thought about compromise, no matter what humiliation I endured, I never imagined that I would live a life that I didn't expect. Not to mention What comes to mind is that the absurd prince is completely different from the rumors."

Meng Dong raised his head, his eyes rested on Yan Hong's face, and he looked at his face carefully, as if he wanted to engrave the whole face in his mind, before continuing after a while: "This is a good thing for me, But it's also a bad thing. After all, my original plan was all for that person in the rumors."

"So you changed direction and went to investigate the cause of my father's death instead, and took advantage of my enmity with the capital and my uncle's fear of Jiangling to make things easier for you." Yan Hong said with a smile, "This is a good move. With Fei Yibing's death, Jiangling, the capital city, and Ningzhou were mixed together."

"I've always been on the wrong side of playing chess with the prince. It's been a long time and I've never won." Meng Dong said, "I know that the capital has always been afraid of Jiangling. Don't worry, if you let him know that the prince's absurdity has been done for him for many years, and he has been secretly investigating the cause of the old prince's death, just to seek revenge from him one day, the suspicious emperor will definitely feel like a needle. I can’t wait to kill the prince immediately to avoid future troubles. And Guo Gu has always been very happy. He has been on the throne for so many years and has been eyeing Jiangling. How could he not want such a good opportunity? I just saw through them. Just give them an opportunity."

After Meng Dong finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Hong, and suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, this matter can be accomplished, thanks to the fact that the prince's uncle really wanted your life. The late emperor spent so much troops to get He can promise to Guo Gu even the Jiangling City that he is going down, just to join forces with the other party and completely eradicate the confidant of the prince. But he is very greedy, he wants the prince's life, but also wants to preserve his own reputation, otherwise If he does it in the capital, he might really have a chance to succeed."

Yan Hong stretched out his hand and pulled the jade pendant out from under the skirt of his clothes. He gently stroked the jade body with his fingertips, and stared at Meng Dong: "If you want him to get it, why bother to give me this piece of jade. Anyway, what do you want in the end? Yes, it is to lure Guo Gu to Jiangling, and find a way to kill him in the chaos. Your arrangement has been successful, and my life and death have no effect on the overall situation, so why take such a big risk today to save me? life."

Meng Dong stared at Yan Hong in a daze for a moment. In fact, he could have told Yan Hong just like he did to his subordinate just now, that he wanted to save Yan Hong's life and watch them fight with each other. Lots of opportunities.But he knew in his heart that this was not the truth. Ever since he followed Yan Hong to the capital that day, he had always had a thought in his heart that he could not let Yan Hong die.

He raised his hand and wiped his face, his eyes looked a little helpless, and he replied softly: "At this point, it doesn't make much sense to say these words. Back then, I was planning to enter the palace, but I was taken care of by the prince everywhere." , I have received a love that I have never felt in the past ten years since I left Ningzhou. It should be reciprocated, and the prince should not die because of me. It should be the price paid for my use of the prince. "

"Meng Dong," Yan Hong called his name softly, "You know in your heart that even if you used me before, I was the one who used you afterwards. You were able to investigate the cause of my father's death so smoothly, my uncle I was able to get the secret letter from Beiliang so smoothly, and I was behind the scenes. Because you know, over the years, I also wanted to kill my uncle to avenge my father, but I couldn't find a suitable one. No matter how he treated my father back then, his throne was legitimately inherited from my grandfather. If I took the lead in making trouble, it would be deceitful rebellion, and my father’s reputation may really be lost The destruction is in my hands. So in the matter of using and deceiving, you and I are the same, and it can't be regarded as who owes the other."

As he spoke, he touched Meng Dong's face lovingly: "You simply can't watch me die."

Meng Dong raised his hand, put it on Yan Hong's hand, took his hand off his face, and slowly held it in his palm.Yan Hong's fingers are fair and slender, but when he touches them carefully, he can feel the cocoons in his palm. This prince looks glamorous on the surface, but all these years, he bears the revenge of killing his father by himself, but he is very patient. People know how much blood and tears this person paid behind his back.

Meng Dong thought, to some extent, they are actually the same person.Also, she has been burdened with blood feud since she was a child, and she is destined to be involuntary in this life.

Meng Dong bent his lips and showed a smile. He reached out and gently touched the jade pendant on Yan Hong's neck: "No matter what the reason is, I will save your life, that's enough. The prince is right, There is indeed nothing owed between you and me. No matter who takes advantage of whom, we must get what we want, and this is the best result."

After Meng Dong finished speaking, he leaned over and pressed a very light kiss on Yan Hong's lips: "This is the only chance I have now, let's say goodbye."

"Meng Dong," Yan Hong felt something choked in his throat, looked into Meng Dong's eyes, and said softly, "The situation in Jiangling is a foregone conclusion, no matter how the relationship between me and Yan Tai ends, the battle with Beiliang is already over. Inevitably. Guo Gu has no way out when he arrives at Jiangling City. In fact, you don’t have to go back in person. If you want, I can have his body delivered to you.”

"I have things that I must do, and the prince also has things to do. Today, there is no turning back. Isn't the prince not letting Yan Tai go? On this point, I thought we were all the same " Meng Dong stood up slowly, looking down at Yan Hong.

Yan Hong put his hand on his injured arm, and stood up: "We are different, Meng Dong. All I want is Yan Tai's life. And you are obsessed with going back because you want more than just It is Guo Gu's life, and you still have to take back the throne that belonged to your father and belonged to you."

Meng Dong smiled lightly: "What's the difference? Revenge and regaining the throne are the same thing. There is no conflict. Guo Gu is dead. It is only natural for me to take back what belongs to me. I heard that It's not that Yan Tai is obstructing it, maybe the throne of the Chu Kingdom belongs to the old prince, doesn't the prince want to take it back for the old prince?"

"If my father really wanted the throne back then, he would have taken it himself. He didn't want anything, so why would I want to grab it in his name?"

"Then speaking of it, the prince and I are indeed different." Meng Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Because the throne of Beiliang should belong to me."

"Meng Dong, once the emperor and the courtiers, even if the throne should belong to you, but Guo Gu has been on the throne for so many years, how many people in the court do you think will be loyal to your father, and how many people will help you sit on the throne?" Return to that position?" Yan Hong shook his head, "Even if you kill Guo Gu, it will be very difficult to succeed again."

"For so many years, I have experienced so many difficulties and obstacles, and I am not afraid of this one." He smiled at Yan Hong, and gently touched his chest, "But the prince's worry, I will always remember it in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to Yan Hong: "Thank you, my lord, for taking care of Meng Dong. The mountains are high and the road is far away, so Meng Dong will leave here. I wish you a peaceful life and a long life."

Yan Hong raised his hand and touched his neck lightly, closed his eyes slightly, and let out a soft sigh: "Since that's the case, what else can I say? I can only wish you a smooth and worry-free life, and realize your long-cherished wish as soon as possible."

Meng Dong squeezed his hands tightly under his sleeves, with a bright smile on his face: "Meng Dong accepts the prince's wish." He took a last look at Yan Hong's neck, "That jade pendant belongs to me. The queen mother asked for it from an expert back then, and I was able to escape from death, and I couldn't do without its protection, so I left it as a souvenir for the prince, after all, there is still a fierce battle for the prince to return to Jiangling, I hope it can protect the prince's safety."
