After the death of the villain

King Zhao snorted coldly, grabbed a servant and continued hunting with him.

Bamboo fence, Xie Xiangying was lying on the couch, only one corner of the whole quilt was still draped over her body.Last night, I went through the files in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I didn't come back until midnight, so I will be sleeping soundly.

"Master..."

When Ling Lang entered, Xie Xiangying turned over and the quilt fell completely.

Ling Lang approached, picked up the quilt from the ground and covered him.

I don't know how long most of my body has been frozen in the cool room, and the noses of the people on the couch are all red.Ling Lang looked at Xie Xiangying's exposed half of his fair neck, and suddenly regretted covering him with a quilt earlier, and he should have watched it longer.

Xie Xiangying has always avoided him these years, Ling Lang can see it.

A few days ago, because Xie Xiangying went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to review the files without authorization, Ling Lang fined Xie Xiangying one month's salary in front of all the officials, and I don't know if he is still sad.

Xie Xiangying was a little cold, half of his face was almost buried in the quilt.

The face of the long-ill man was flushed, Ling Lang watched quietly, and couldn't help reaching out to touch the thin red mole on the tip of his eyebrows.Ruyu's fingertips felt cool, Xie Xiangying flinched, and opened his closed eyes.

Close at hand is Zhang Junlang's face, who looks like Ling Lang.

Ling Lang!

Realizing who this person was, Xie Xiangying suddenly widened his eyes.

"His Majesty."

Xie Xiangying sat up abruptly, thinking that he had been cursing happily in his dream just now, so don't let this person hear you by talking baldly.

"Emperor Master." Ling Lang bent his eyes, looking peaceful.

Seeing this posture, Xie Xiangying seemed to be all right, so he let go of his heart.I heard that this kid just replaced some of his confidantes in the Metropolitan Procuratorate a few days ago, and snatched something from Ling Qingyun, so he is probably very happy at the moment.I don't know what to do here to see my wronged species.

"Why is Your Majesty here?" Xie Xiangying asked.

Ling Lang said: "I hunted a deer in Beiyuan this morning. I thought there was a grill in the Emperor's yard, so I brought it here. It's cold in winter, so the Emperor should stop eating those cold things."

This kid knew that he had eaten cold food yesterday, and he didn't know that he had sent several spies to watch over the bamboo fence.Xie Yin has no soldiers or power under his command. Isn't this a waste of resources?

When the emperor comes, it's not a problem to stay on the couch all the time.Xie Xiangying slowly moved his legs out of the bed, and got used to the bedside for a while.Black hair hangs down her shoulders, some of it runs down her neck and is buried under her pajamas.The slender fingers fastened the loose belt, and pulled out the hair along the way.

There is a faint smell of plum blossom in the breath, mixed with the smell of herbs, which makes people feel at ease.Xie Xiangying was always neat and tidy on weekdays, giving lectures in Tongyou Hall in a proper manner, such a lazy and casual appearance is rare.Ling Lang looked at it seriously, with a pair of black pupils full of greed.

After Xie Xiangying finished fastening his inner coat, Ling Lang took Xie Xiangying's clothes from the screen beside him and put them on for him.

This kid's trick of slapping someone and then giving a jujube to eat is very smooth. Now that he treats him well, Xie Xiangying didn't take it to heart.

Hongyu poured a basin of hot water for Xie Xiangying, Xie Xiangying washed his face, and just as soon as he raised his hand Ling Lang came over to Zhang Pazi.

Xie Xiangying wiped his hands, thinking that this kid hasn't returned to the palace yet, so he won't be planning to stay for lunch, but he plans to go to Taiping Street at noon.

"Is there something important for your Majesty?" Xie Xiangying asked him.

Ling Lang squinted his eyes and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and there will be flower gods in Taiping Street at night, the emperor should go and see them."

Ling Lang's eyes were shining brightly, and he almost said "you go with me".

Those who pretend to be flower gods are all men and women selected from thousands of people. Although Xie Xiangying wanted to go to see the beauty, he didn't want to go with Ling Lang.Companion to the king is like companion to the tiger, no matter how nice Ling Lang is to him right now, there will be a day when he will kneel outside the gate of Xingsheng Pavilion and suffer.

"minister……"

Xie Xiangying coughed again in a fake manner.

"Those in the Imperial Hospital..." Ling Lang originally wanted to talk about the trash in the Imperial Hospital, but suddenly remembered that Ling Lang's father was the order of the imperial physician, so he kept silent and only closed the doors and windows, and helped him onto the couch.

Xie Xiangying has been ill for a long time these years, pretending to be sick is easy.Covering his chest and mouth, he coughed a lot, making Ling Lang stunned for a while, that was a perfect fit.

"I'm going to call Hongyu."

"Ah."

Xie Xiangying said a word, and took advantage of Ling Lang's spare time to wrap up in a quilt and pretend to be asleep.

Ling Lang came back with Hongyu, saw Xie Xiangying fell asleep again, ordered Hongyu to heat the medicine and left the poor deer and left.

These years Ling Lang has always used various excuses to send things to Xie Xiangying here, and he will not be rewarded for nothing, and Xie Xiangying has a headache when he sees these things.In terms of rewards, Ling Lang has never treated him badly, but whenever he needs to make an example of others, Ling Lang is the first to deal with him.

Seeing Ling Lang going away, Xie Xiangying quickly changed into his clothes and prepared to go to Taiping Street.

Seeing that Ling Lang had just left, Hongyu wanted to go out after Xie Xiangying, and hurriedly reminded: "I don't know how many people are staring at the bamboo fence at this moment, young master, I'd better not go today. In case His Majesty turns back..."

In this winter day, how could he stand kneeling for another hour or two.

"Today's Lantern Festival, although we want to save money and not have a family banquet, the Queen Mother Shen will definitely have dinner with Ling Lang. He will definitely not be able to come out at night. You should keep an eye on the movement in the palace. You bring something delicious."

Xie Xiangying put on a snow-white fox fur, and before Hongyu handed him the stove, he put on the curtain and rushed into the snow.

The snow in the courtyard was not cleared in time, and the light-colored brocade boots creaked on the ground, and the people were as spotless as the snow.

This was the first time that Xie Xiangying went out by himself since the beginning of winter. Usually, he was either followed by a maid or a servant, or he had to accompany Ling Lang cautiously. He had never felt so comfortable and free before.

Like a roe deer having fun in the snow, he trotted towards the Huihui Building on Taiping Street.

The Shangyuan Festival is just the time when the princes and brothers hold a banquet. As soon as Xie Xiangying entered the door, he saw a full house.If you look carefully, some of them look familiar, but luckily you brought the curtain with you.

Seeing that Xie Xiang came to greet him, the man hurriedly led him to the cubicle on the second floor and set up a pot of tea.

Xie Xiangying sat for a while, and a man in blue clothes pushed the door open and entered.

"Young master really came."

Mo Linquan put the dim sum in his hand on the case. The person who was originally a few years younger than Xie Xiangying was now almost half a head taller than him.

Xie Xiangying said: "In the past, I always went to the General's Mansion. This year, the General and his wife went to the north to see their son, so they were free."

"Is the Imperial Physician not here?" Mo Linquan asked.

"He's on duty in the palace, and he won't return home until tomorrow morning. You help me prepare some snacks and side dishes. I'll accompany him in the mansion tomorrow."

This job of curing diseases and saving lives has never been idle since ancient times.

"Okay, send someone to Xie's mansion tomorrow." After Mo Linquan said, as if thinking of something extremely important, his slender knuckles tapped on the table, and greeted Xie, "Young master, stop eating. I'll meet someone for you."

"who?"

After Xie Xiangying finished speaking, Mo Linquan said to the door.

The door was opened, and people who were also wearing curtains came into view.

The man was dressed in scarlet clothes, like a flower blooming in spring.

"This is..." Xie Xiangying raised his head, curious about what kind of face was behind the curtain.

"Liansheng, hurry up and let Master Taifu take a look."

After Mo Linquan finished speaking, the man stretched out his hand to remove the curtain on his head, and what he saw was a bewitching face, with colorful flower costumes outlined on the snow-white skin. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a bit of indistinguishable meaning between male and female. .

If it wasn't for his figure, Xie Xiangying would have almost recognized this person as a woman.

"This is tonight's Flower God." Xie Xiangying asked.Looking at her attire, those who didn't know thought she had jumped off the Huashen chariot.

Mo Linquan said: "Exactly, this person is the musician of Mingyu Pavilion, how about it, isn't it overpowering the country and the city?"

"Yes……"

Xie Xiangying didn't have much feeling for such a man. In the past few years in Beiqi, he had seen many charming men and women.His appearance is far less attractive than a good temper and good voice.

However, the name "Liansheng" is very elegant, and with this outfit, it really looks like a red lotus growing out of the water.

Xie Xiangying has seen many people who like to wear red clothes, charming, sassy, ​​and people can't help but feel affectionate in front of them.Even though it is the same color, the feeling of wearing it on people is quite different.

Then Mo Linquan was not interested in seeing Xie Xiangying, so he leaned on his arm and asked, "Do you think Mr. Liansheng looks like a person?"

like who.

Xie Xiangying carefully looked at Liansheng's slap-sized face, but he still couldn't see who this person looked like.

Seeing Xie Xiangying's confused face, Mo Linquan simply refused to let this person guess, and only said, "You."

"I?"

How could he be like Liansheng? Xie Xiangying felt that he was quite heroic. With a longbow weighing dozens of kilograms, he would pull it away as soon as he said it.How could he be like this weak person in front of him.

Lian Sheng seemed to see Xie Xiangying's displeasure, and quickly opened his lips and said, "Young master is from a wealthy family, how can you be a mediocre actress like me?"

Lian Sheng looked at Xie Xiangying, with envy in his watery eyes.

Xie Xiangying had been ill for a long time and nestled in the bamboo fence, her complexion was fairer than ordinary people, and her pair of handsome eyebrows were as calm as distant mountains.He is very handsome, but not too feminine, on the contrary, he is more dignified, he is the appearance of a nobleman that girls will like when they see him.

"I don't know the name of Mr. Liansheng."

Xie Xiangying has never seen a family surnamed Lian in Northern Qi. This person with such appearance, if he grew up in Shengjing, he should not be just a singer.

Before Liansheng could speak, Mo Linquan explained for him: "It's natural that I'm not willing to use my real name when I'm in the music hall, so don't ask me, my lord."

"Feel sorry."

Xie Xiangying almost forgot that leling was not a good job in Northern Qi Dynasty, except for some skilled ones who could be sent to Shen Weichuan's mansion for a promotion|education, the rest were no different from prostitutes in the brothel.

The Shangyuan Festival sacrifice to the Flower God was created by merchants in Taiping Street.It has always been to choose good-looking poor men and women, and it is the luckiest thing to be spotted by dignitaries once they show their faces.Last year, the little cook who was the god of flowers was taken into the residence by King Zhao, so I don't know who will take a fancy to this Mr. Liansheng.

Seeing that Xie Xiangying had been lacklustre a few days ago, Mo Linquan originally planned to let him see the beauties to relieve his boredom.Seeing that Xie Xiangying had lost interest at this moment, he didn't say anything specifically, and just asked the back kitchen guy to bring up the newly made dishes one by one.

Compared with beauties, Xie Xiangying is more interested in eating.Xie Xiangying liked all of the dozen or so dishes, and he rewarded a lot of the gold ingots he brought.When the cook saw the real money, he immediately smiled and said a lot of compliments.

After tasting the dishes one by one, the sky has already sunk.

Shops on Taiping Street hung up lanterns, many of which had novel shapes to attract customers.

There was still an hour before the flower god prayed, Mo Linquan suggested to take the two of them downstairs to watch the lights.

Xie Xiangying thought to himself that Mo Linquan must have some brain problems.It's only an hour now, and I'm still dragging Liansheng around. If something happens to the slippery road in the dark, the flower spirit will disappear.

Just thinking about it, Mo Linquan had already dragged him out.

There are quite a lot of people on Taiping Street, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shoulder to shoulder.There are many shops in this place, and it can always be lively several times a year.

Xie Xiangying's gaze wandered through the crowd, and he saw a stall selling antiques surrounded by many people.

This Northern Qi Dynasty is old enough, the paper is rough, the banknotes can't be made, and the porcelain is not too perfect, so I don't know what this person can sell.

Xie Xiangying squeezed into the crowd with curiosity, and there were some oddly shaped coins and many cracked gem beads on the stalls under his feet.

Xie Xiangying knelt down and picked among the pile of coins, and suddenly found the crescent coin from the former Wulai Kingdom.

The peddler smiled and said, "Master, you have good eyesight. This is something from Wulai Kingdom. The half-moon coin was once owned by Jiang Ji."

Xie Xiangying smiled and didn't say anything. How could Jiang Ji, a saint, hold such inferior coins full of sand and air.Speaking of things related to Jiang Ji, he has a lot of bamboo fences, and he doesn't know how much he can sell them for.

"how much is this."

Xie Xiangying asked a question.

The peddler said the number.Xie Xiangying liked the shape of the half moon, so he was going to buy it.He found the money bag in his bosom, opened the brocade pouch with auspicious cloud patterns, and there were only two copper coins.

"This gentleman has been picking for a long time, so he didn't bring any money." The peddler smiled, and pulled Xie Xiangying to the side.

Xie Xiangying looked at the two coins in his hand and remained silent for a long time.It is estimated that he was too generous in the Huihui Building just now, and gave away all the gold ingots in one go.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, someone above his head threw a piece of silver on the stall: "I will pay for this young man's money."

Xie Xiangying raised his head, and behind him stood a smiling young man.

Xie Xiangying is quite afraid of this kind of young man who always bends his eyes, especially... this man also has a pair of blue eyes.

Xie Xiangying stood up abruptly and bumped into the man's tall nose.

"Woo..." The young man held his nose, and blood seeped from his fingers, "How can you avenge your kindness?"

Xie Xiangying saw that this man was bleeding violently, he quickly took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand.

The two of them went to an alley where there were fewer people, and the boy held his hands for a long time before the blood stopped.

"Young master, are you okay?" Xie Xiangying asked.

The boy frowned, a snow-white veil was completely stained.

"This one……"

"Give it to the young master, I have never used it."

"Thank you." The boy glanced at Xie Xiangying and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first. You don't have to pay me back the money. Stay away from me, I'm afraid of you."

After the young man finished speaking, he wiped his nose, and went out of the alley without looking back, as if he was afraid that Xie Xiangying would entangle him.

Xie Xiangying looked at the boy's back and suddenly grinned.What's wrong with him, why does he feel that it is a person who will harm him? Isn't this sick?

After the man walked away, Xie Xiangying went out of the alley to look for Mo Linquan.

I didn't find it in the crowd, but I ran into it at the entrance of the Huihui Building.

"What's going on here?"

Before Xie Xiangying got closer, he saw Lian Sheng bent over and stopped in the snow.

"I twisted my foot, the road was slippery in snow, and I fell on the ice." Mo Linquan said.

Sure enough, something happened, Xie Xiangying saw Liansheng's pained look, and was about to ask a doctor, when suddenly Liansheng grabbed her by the sleeve.

"No, it cannot be known by others."

Several people went upstairs, and Xie Xiangying learned from Mo Linquan that the sacrifice to the Flower God was far from as simple as he imagined.

In order to please the rich and powerful, many wealthy businessmen would offer beauties through flowers and righteousness. This Liansheng was redeemed from the music hall by a wealthy businessman.If Liansheng is favored by some general or lord, the wealthy businessman will get a lot of money and relationship benefits.If she was not chosen, or if she couldn't pretend to be a flower god due to an accident, she would have to be beaten up.

Xie Xiangying looked at Liansheng's swollen ankle and asked him, "Can you still stand up?"

Liansheng tried it, but just as he got up from the couch, he suddenly fell down again.

Xie Xiangying frowned, wondering why this man is not as strong as the girl in his family.

There were tears in Liansheng's eyes, and the person sitting on the ground looked like I felt sorry for him.He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and greeted Xie Xiang: "I am similar in figure to your lord, I wonder if your lord can stand on that float for me."

"I?"

This person also knows that he is an adult, so how dare he speak.

Mo Linquan helped Liansheng back to the couch. Seeing Xie Xiangying hesitated, he persuaded: "This flower god prays for blessings, that is, throwing petals into the crowd with a flower basket. If you can replace him, the matter will be easier."

"Why are you always generous to others?"

Come to see Huashen's sons and brothers, if he is recognized and spread to the palace, I don't know how many hours he will have to kneel.On this cold day, he had to freeze to death in Xingsheng Pavilion.Last year, the king of Dongling also died, and Dongling became a mess. The Northern Qi just happened to have no foreign aggression, so Ling Lang put his mind on the Northern Qi Dynasty. Do you respect the monkey's chicken?

Seeing Xie Xiangying's firm attitude, Mo Linquan knew that this matter could not be forced, so he softened his voice and said: "The rich businessman who bought lotus is named Chen, and I heard that he also came from the south. This person was with His Royal Highness Cheng Wang who guarded the south He has a very close personal relationship, the young master is investigating him, with Liansheng here, I guess he can get a lot of information from the wealthy businessman Chen."

"Cheng Wang."

He had indeed suspected King Cheng, who was stationed in the south of Xunyang and had many soldiers under his command.The few princes left in Shengjing, except for something in Ling Qingyun and Zhao Wang's hands, the rest are basically empty.Only Cheng Wang, who is far in the south, still has some strength.

Floods in the south a few years ago, this Cheng Wang single-handedly suppressed dozens of teams, large and small, who took advantage of the chaos to revolt.For such an honest man who is dedicated to the country, Xie Xiangying really shouldn't be careless.However, it is clearly written in the files of the Supervisory Court that when the Prince Regent's Mansion was in full swing, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang just brought his subordinates to Beijing to report on their duties.

Cheng Wang was the second prince who did not come back during the battle for the heir apparent, and he did not come back for the heir apparent. Ling Lang came back when he ascended the throne, and the regent was burned as soon as he came back, which is too coincidental.

Xie Xiangying glanced at Liansheng who was on the couch. Seeing that Xie Xiangying's expression eased, Liansheng knelt down on the couch and said, "If you need your help, Liansheng is willing to be used by you."

"let me think again……"

After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour, he still agreed to Liansheng's request.

Mingyu Pavilion.

The red lotus makeup was outlined on the person's face, and the originally handsome eyes were also deliberately brought out a bit of a monster.

Wearing a vermilion costume, Mo Linquan was taken aback when Xie Xiangying turned around.

Liansheng and Xie Xiangying are very similar, but Xie Xiangying's willingness to bend rather than bend is too obvious. People are like this, and they don't feel much when they meet seductive ones. On the contrary, Xie Xiangying is such a serious person that people can't help but provoke them.

"Is it done?" Xie Xiangying asked him.

Mo Linquan nodded: "Sure, this makeup is so thick that you can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, let alone you and Liansheng. If you want me to say that those men who pretended to be flower gods in the past were sissy, you can't see them clearly." No boy is good-looking."

"Don't spoil the word 'mother'." Xie Xiangying gave Mo Linquan a look, which was half angry and half angry, quite coquettish.

Before leaving, he saw a mask with Zhang Lian pattern hanging in the room, Xie Xiangying took it and tied it around his waist with a rope.

"I used this." It really didn't work, he put on a mask and got on the float.

The car to pick up Flower God was waiting outside the music hall, Mo Linquan sent the person outside the door, got on the car and went to Xie Xiangying with a warm hand stove in his hand.

Xie Xiangying stood firm and carried the flower basket onto the special float.

Behind him is a huge red lotus, with a few candles burning in the stamens, the bright red light is very eye-catching in the night.

Xie Xiangying took a few candles and hid in the stamens. When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Taiping Street, a few gongs sounded, and the red lotus bloomed. The person in the stamens stood up slowly, like an exile born from the red lotus.

Xie Xiangying stabilized his figure and scattered the petals in the bamboo basket all the way.

There were many people around on both sides, Xie Xiangying couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, and probably the people on the street couldn't see him clearly either.

Last year's float was peony, and the pretty little cook was playing the flower god, which attracted many people.This year's red lotus is also eye-catching, many people ran out of the restaurant to look around the carriage.

Red Lotus, Feixue, and Beauty Face, many people couldn't take their eyes off of them.

Someone in the crowd threw a silk flower onto the float, and it fell into Xie Xiangying's arms.Xie Xiangying glanced at the silk flower in his hand, smiled at the person behind the fence of the restaurant, and pinned the silk flower behind his ear.

This smile was so beautiful that all the silk flowers and hairpins were thrown on the flower cart.

In the chaos, Xie Xiangying also saw someone throw an unfinished elbow on the float.

This thing is not fun to throw away.Xie Xiangying said something from the bottom of his heart, looking forward to the carriage passing through Taiping Street soon.

The people on the street were crowded together, and the carriage could hardly move an inch. After halfway through, Xie Xiangying, who was spreading flowers, smelled a smell of something being burnt.

The people below scattered away, Xie Xiangying was wondering, when he turned around to see, the red lotus behind him was already in the sea of ​​flames.

Somebody threw something just now and knocked over the candle in the red lotus. The petals were covered with paper, and the flames shot up into the sky for a while, which was very scary.

The float was as tall as two or three people, Xie Xiangying looked at the snow all over the ground and thought that falling to death is better than burning to death.

Leaping from the Huashen Chariot, I didn't feel the expected pain.

Xie Xiangying raised his eyes and saw an extremely handsome face close at hand.The man's eyebrows were slightly curved, and he looked at himself with a half-smile.

Ling Lang.

Why is it him again? Shouldn't this person be in Changle Palace?

Xie Xiangying touched the half mask from his waist and quickly put it on his face.If you can't escape, you should cover your face first, absolutely not let Ling Lang find out that his emperor teacher is not on the bed, and is acting as a flower god in Taiping Street.

The red lotus makeup made Ling Lang unable to see the appearance of the person in his arms, but the slender waist with excellent touch in his hands told him that the person in his arms should be a rare and truly beautiful woman.

"Are you shy?"

The cool voice accompanied by the warm breath fell to his ears, Ling Lang hugged the person in his arms tightly.

Xie Xiangying turned his face and said nothing.Ling Lang's appearance was really different from the past, which made him a little scared.

"Want to go down?" Ling Lang asked him.

Xie Xiangying nodded.

"Flower God can't leave the float. You are in danger of dying if you go back now. I will take you to a place."

After Ling Lang finished speaking, he hugged the person in his arms and got on his horse, Xie Xiangying was imprisoned in Ling Lang's arms, and the two braved the snow and went to the end of the shop.

The heart beat a little fast, and the horse didn't stop until it reached a tower.

Ling Lang got off his horse and stretched out a hand to the rider.

Xie Xiangying never got off his horse, even if he got off the carriage, he had to use a horse stone.He took Ling Lang's hand, Ling Lang pushed hard, and Xie Xiangying slammed into his arms.

The author has something to say:

coming!
