The long palace road seems to have no end in sight.

The tall palace walls are built of gray-red bricks, and the dark clouds hang low in the distance, and the air is so hot that people seem to be out of breath.

Lin Fanqing looked up at the sky.

He was on duty at the Imperial Academy just now, but suddenly he was invited over by the eunuch next to the emperor, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy for a while.

After all, how absurd their current emperor is, everyone in the court and the public knows it, and everyone knows it.

not to mention......

Lin Fanqing closed his eyes and slowed down a bit.

The eunuch who led the way was Wang De, an old man who had served the old emperor for many years.

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Fanqing who had slowed down, his slightly shrill voice rang out in the long palace passage,

"Lord Lin, let's hurry up, His Majesty is waiting for you!"

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and it seemed that it was about to rain.

The overlapping palaces in the distance seemed to be transformed into monsters that would choose to devour people at this moment. The bad premonition in Lin Fanqing's heart became more and more serious, so that his face turned pale.

Although he had secretly asked his attendants to report back when he came, Lin Fanqing still felt deeply uneasy at this moment.

He lowered his brows, took a piece of jade pendant and stuffed it into Wang De's hand, and said in a low voice, "Why does Your Majesty invite me to go, and please give Wang Gonggong some advice."

The eunuch's servant who used to be open to money has become upright and honest now.

Wang De looked at the beautiful jade pendant with some regret, but he still resolutely pushed it back, refusing to reveal the slightest hint.

"Your Majesty Lin will know when he arrives. What's more, I, an eunuch, can't guess what His Majesty's thoughts are..."

Lin Fanqing silently withdrew his hand.

He pressed his lips tightly, knowing that today's test might not be easy.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

"...You haven't healed from the cold, so it's really inappropriate to go out and walk around!"

"Your Highness!"

As the sound approached, a chariot appeared at the end of the long palace road accompanied by a mighty court lady attendant.

Wang De's eyes were sharp, and a smile instantly appeared on his face as soon as he saw it, and he walked forward quickly.

"Slave Wang De, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Your Royal Highness?

Is this boy actually the prince?

Lin Fanqing froze in place for a moment.

He knew that there was a prince in this dynasty.

Few people in the government and the public have seen the appearance of the prince. They just heard that the prince has been weak and sick since he was born. He has always lived in the palace and can't come out easily. Even at important banquets in the palace, the prince has never appeared .

With such poor health, if His Majesty had not only had such a son, he would not have been able to sit on the position of the crown prince.

In fact, there are many discussions between the ruling and opposition parties, saying that His Royal Highness is probably a sign of dying, an early death...

Lin Fanqing also asked his grandfather in private, but every time his grandfather always let out a long sigh.

——Before today, Lin Fanqing had never imagined that the sick and weak prince that everyone talked about,

It turned out to be like this...

Xi Hua half leaned on the chariot seat, glanced at Lin Fanqing lightly, and knew that this should be the goal of this mission.

Suppressing the itch in his throat, Xi Hua raised his eyes to look at Wang De, "Your Majesty."

The smile on Wang De's face deepened a little.

Although he was serving in front of the imperial court, the old emperor was old after all, coupled with his addiction to wine and sex, his body had already been hollowed out.

People like them naturally have to make plans for themselves earlier.

And the old emperor has only such a son, although he is a little weaker, he is also the crown prince of the Great Wei, the sure successor.

For these servants, there is no more suitable object of allegiance than this.

Those palace people who ran out with Xi Hua also stood still at this time, and for a while, no one knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to do.

"Where does the prince want to go now?"

Wang De paused, and the smile on his face stiffened slightly.

"Your Majesty's order, this servant, will take Mr. Lin to accompany you."

Lin Fanqing bowed to Xi Hua, "Lin Fanqing, editor of the Imperial Academy, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xi Hua covered his lips and coughed twice, seeing the handsome and straight figure of the person coming, suddenly said: "Come closer."

Lin Fanqing and everyone else were taken aback.

Wang De's reaction was relatively quick, and he shouted, "Master Lin."

Lin Fanqing stabilized his mind, walked in front of His Royal Highness, and stood with his head bowed.

"Raise your head."

Hearing this order, Lin Fanqing was even more puzzled, but he followed it.

He tilted his head slightly, lowering his eyelids.

Then Lin Fanqing felt a gaze fall on his face, across the eyebrows, nose and lips,

As if looking for something.

Xi Hua withdrew his gaze. At this moment, he didn't know what he was looking for.

He looked at Lin Fanqing who was standing quietly on one side, his slightly thin body was covered in a layer of blue official robes, his body was like jade, and his temperament was Qinghua.

According to the system, Lin Fanqing should only be 16 years old this year.

Xi Hua sighed in his heart.

16 years old... still a teenager.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually pressed down, and a gust of wind blew up in the palace road,

Xi Hua rolled up his sleeves, and said: "It happens that I have nothing to do today, so I will go with you to pay respects to my father."

......

This is a large palace built on the water, not as magnificent as other palaces, but extremely light and beautiful.

There are thousands of pieces of scattered flower gauze hanging everywhere, and a strong fragrance can already be smelled before entering the hall.

Xi Hua suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.

He thought to himself, why burn so many spices?Not too fuzzy.

Frowning slightly in distaste, Xi Hua got off his seat with the support of the palace servants, but before he could stand still, there was another heart-piercing cough.

He bent over slightly, feeling that he was about to cough up his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

For some reason, Lin Qingfan's heart tightened.

Before I realized it, I had already stepped forward, worried: "Your Highness..."

Xi Hua covered his mouth and nose, and after his breath calmed down, he waved his hand, "It's nothing."

He looked up at the three big characters of Qingshu Palace on the plaque, and said lightly: "After you go in later, follow me, don't walk around."

Lin Qingfan was stunned for a moment, realizing that the prince was helping him, a lot of emotions arose in his heart instantly.

Hastily cupped his hands and stood upright, respectfully said: "Yes."

Xi Hua's words did not avoid others.

The palace people who followed him, including Wang De, were all looking at their noses, noses, and mouths at this moment.

Only Wang De felt a little remorseful, who knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always lived in seclusion, would actually protect Lord Lin?

After seeing the prince coming, some palace people had already gone in to report.

At this moment, a young eunuch ran out, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to enter."

When Xi Hua was outside just now, he already felt that the fragrance was strong and pungent, but the fragrance indoors was more than ten times stronger than that outside!

Xi Hua's body shook instantly.

Lin Fanqing kept observing Xi Hua's state, and when he saw it, he reached out to help him.

But the palace servants around the prince are obviously more experienced than him, they have already supported Xi Hua's arm first, and said worriedly: "Your Highness..."

Lin Fanqing withdrew his hand somewhat disappointed.

Xi Hua finally stabilized her figure by relying on the palace man who supported her.

The old emperor walked over at this time, he didn't know how much wine he had drunk, his clothes were disheveled, and he was still holding a wine jug in his hand, with an appearance of being addicted to wine and lust.

The old emperor first glanced at Wang De, only to see that Wang De suddenly trembled, and knelt down with a plop.

It's just that he still remembered that the prince was his only son, and said with a smile, "Why did the emperor come here today?"

Xi Hua glanced at the old emperor, but he didn't like him at all.

He half leaned on the palace man's body, and said with difficulty: "Father, you should remove the spices first."

The old emperor was obviously taken aback, and seemed to see that something was wrong with the state of his only seedling, so he hurriedly yelled at the maids and eunuchs in the palace: "Didn't you hear what the prince said? Quickly remove all the spices!"

He leaned in front of Xi Hua, his old face was stained with a layer of purple because of alcohol,

He said with a smile: "The emperor's visit is just in time today. The emperor's side has a few beauties here, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, and they are incomparable..."

The palace people in the palace almost died of fright when they heard the old emperor's ridiculous words.

With the prince's body, who would dare to send a beauty in front of him?Is it because he is afraid that he will not die soon enough?

All of them knelt down instantly, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

However, the old emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and he pulled Xi Hua to go inside, "Come, come, I will open the emperor's eyes today..."

Xi Hua was pulled staggeringly, the old emperor seemed to have surprisingly strong hands after he was drunk, Xi Hua couldn't break free at all, he could only stumble and follow the old emperor inward.

Fortunately, the spices were almost removed by this time, and the wind picked up again outside, making the hall much cooler.

Otherwise, Xi Hua was really afraid that he would faint here on the spot.

Lin Fanqing still remembered the prince's words to follow him closely, and he was really worried that the old emperor would do something ridiculous, so he hurriedly followed behind.

Through several hanging veils, bursts of melodious silk and bamboo sounds came over.

I saw a few very beautiful boys and girls lying on a huge bed that could accommodate more than ten people in the hall.

They were all wearing only a very thin coat, which looked extremely disheveled at first glance.

When had Xi Hua ever seen such a scene, he quickly glanced away, and at the same time felt even more annoyed.

Such a ridiculous king...

After entering here, the old emperor let go of Xi Hua, and waved to the beauties on the couch,

"Hurry up and pay your respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at Yingying and Yanyan standing in a row, Xi Hua frowned and took a step back.

The old emperor didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong at all, he hugged one of the women with a smile,

"How is His Royal Highness doing?"

The woman glanced at the crown prince secretly, and said shyly: "The crown prince is naturally like your majesty, with an imposing manner..."

The old emperor laughed loudly when he heard this, "How about I reward you all to the prince?"

Xi Hua's face has completely sunk.

How can these boys and girls be unwilling.

Although the crown prince is a sick child, but when I saw him today, he was unexpectedly handsome, besides, the crown prince is young!

This is much stronger than the old emperor who is already aged!

They all said: "Slaves naturally listen to His Majesty."

The old emperor looked at Xi Hua, pointed to the beauties around him, and said, "My son, my father wants to discuss something with you."

Xi Hua's heart skipped a beat, he always felt that the old emperor had bad intentions.

But at this time, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Father, please speak."

Sure enough, the old emperor's eyes seemed to fall on Lin Fanqing who was behind Xi Hua inadvertently, and it was only at this moment that he finally caught sight of him.

"How about I exchange these beauties with you for Master Lin?"
