Emperor Que Shaohua

At the beginning of Shenshi, the drums that had been ringing in the Wulan paddock for a whole day gradually subsided and changed to beating gold.The people from all walks of life who had hunted for a whole day returned one after another to count the harvest.After some counting, the prince hunted more than a dozen roe deer and yellow sheep. Zhou Yuyang, the son of the Minister of War, was also quite popular. In addition to the deer and roe, he also presented a few wild pheasants strewn with willow branches, showing good archery skills.

Emperor Tianyi Jiamian said: "Zhou Shangshu knows soldiers himself, and his son also has the style of a general. I am very relieved."

Zhou Bing hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and the depression of being censored for days was finally swept away.When the courtiers around saw him, they could all understand that with Sheng Ruhong being exposed, the emperor's thoughts on deploying troops might have been inclined to Yan Sicun's side.

The one that attracted the most attention was King Ning and General Lin Chen, who shot the most prey, among which beasts accounted for a considerable part, including nine wolves, five lynxes, and even a bear.

This bear was encountered deep in the dense forest. At that time, what Luo Pingyuan and Lin Chen thought was to hunt more ferocious beasts so that they would have weight.A group of people chased two wolves, and gradually chased into the forest in the hilly area, going deeper and deeper.

The horses of King Ning and Lin Chen are all good horses, and the Taohua horse is also strong, and the guards are gradually being left behind.Luo Pingyuan and Lin Chen had shot one wolf to death, and the other ran away, Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll do it this way."

When he set up the arrow and was about to shoot it, the two of them suddenly heard the roar of a wild animal behind them, followed by Luo Xuening's scream, Luo Pingyuan changed color and said: "Oh no, it's a bear!"

The trees in the nearby area are towering, covering the sky, and a huge black bear appeared out of nowhere, standing up unsteadily, like a hill, and rushing towards Princess Danyang's peach blossom horse.

Lin Chen's arrow immediately shot towards the bear's face, just to block it, they had no time to turn the horse's head, Luo Pingyuan slapped the tree trunk next to him, and flew up, taking advantage of the moment of delay, he barely had time to block it. In front of the imperial sister.

He knew that the black bear had rough skin and thick flesh, and it would only become more ferocious if it was hit by an arrow.The bear was really fierce, and he patted his huge bear paw on his head.Luo Pingyuan couldn't retreat and dodge, he could only use his internal strength to strike the bear's shoulder with his palm.

The strength of his palm could crack a stele and crack a stone, the bear's body tilted, and the giant palm fell into the air.It was also really ferocious, it roared under the pain, and immediately rushed towards Luo Pingyuan again, opening its mouth to bite.

The Peach Blossom Horse was so frightened that its tendons and legs were weak, and its hooves slipped, almost throwing Luo Xuening off the horse's back.Fortunately, Lin Chen had already arrived, he reined in the horse hard, and hugged the princess to protect him immediately.

Luo Pingyuan cared about the two people behind him, and immediately pulled out the pure Jun sword from his waist, a sword was inserted between the black bear's eyes, pierced through the head, and the blood shot out like an arrow, the bear screamed earth-shatteringly, shook twice, and crashed fell to the ground.King Ning pulled out his sword, and there was not even a trace of blood on the blade.Xin Dao, Chunjun drank blood for the first time in his hands, but he dealt with a bear.

Only then did their guards catch up.It was found that seven or eight steps away from the bear carcass, a doe died, and a small deer next to it mourned and wailed around the carcass, refusing to leave.The black bear seemed to have just killed the doe, and was disturbed when it was about to eat, so it came out to attack.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Luo Xuening couldn't bear it, and said: "This little deer is still nursing, and can't live without its mother. Let's take it back and raise it."

At this time, in front of the arbor, everyone saw the huge black bear and the deer beside Princess Danyang, and they were all amazed.Luo Pingyuan asked the guards to cut off four bear paws and presented them to the king.

Emperor Tianyi was both happy and emotional, and said: "I also met a bear two years ago. It is fate that Huang'er and Lin Chen met." He looked at the young people in front of him, and couldn't help but think of himself at the age of eighteen or nineteen. At that time, he was equally high-spirited and galloped freely, but he was accompanied by his crown princess, later queen Jiang Biyao.Those things happened a long time ago, and it seems like it happened yesterday.Perhaps part of the reason why he didn't want to see King Jing more these years was that in Luo Yanhua's appearance, he could always see the beauty that originated from his mother.

He withdrew his thoughts and asked about the bear hunting process. Luo Xuening smiled and said, "My daughter didn't do anything but hold back."

The waiter at the side brought the hunting rewards, and the counting was completed. King Ning and Lin Chen were the first names. Emperor Tianyi smiled and said: "Fifty pieces of colorful satin and ten golden flowers, you two can share them equally, but the topaz Ruyi on my desk can only be bought." A handle, who should I give it to?"

King Ning reported: "At that time, it happened suddenly. The bear wanted to attack the imperial sister. It was Lin Chen who shot an arrow to stop it first, and then protected Xue Ning, so that the servants could arrive in time. To kill it, Quanzhang's father wanted to kill it. Bestow a sword. Besides, compared with killing a bear, protecting the imperial sister is of course more important, so this minister thinks that Lin Chen should take the lead."

Emperor Tianyi heard that Lin Chen had protected his beloved daughter, and was slightly moved. Seeing that he was young and handsome, different from King Ning's calmness, with the unique heroic demeanor of a young man, he couldn't help nodding in approval, Lin Chen quickly declined.Emperor Tianyi smiled and said: "Pingyuan already has a pure Jun sword, so give this Yu Ruyi to Lin Chen." He then gave his daughter a look, "Xue Ning is not allowed to pester the emperor to hunt together anymore, girl Stay home and stay safe.”

That night, a large open space was cleared near the tents in the paddock, and a bonfire was lit. The soldiers washed and peeled some fat prey by the stream, some skewered into meat, and some were roasted whole on the fire, and the fragrance wafted all over the field. Fine wine, fresh fruit and all kinds of snacks are also delivered like water.Luo Xuening found some goat milk to drink for her fawn, and Lin Chen accompanied her.Of course Luo Pingyuan didn't bother, he promised the prince, so he ordered people to choose some good prey from all kinds of prey and send them over.He didn't see King Jing, and asked Prince Duan, only to find out that King Jing said he was unwell, had already asked the emperor for leave, and went back to the tent to rest.

Emperor Tianyi knew that all his subjects would not be able to enjoy themselves while he was there, so he only had a symbolic barbecue by the fire, then got up and went back to the imperial tent.

Luo Pingyuan also wanted to leave, it seemed that the banquet would not end until midnight, but now he was very popular with the emperor, there was an endless stream of people coming forward to toast and make friends, he couldn't get away for a while, so he had to drink a few glasses of wine.

At this time, King An came over, smiled and put his hand on his shoulder: "Five Emperor Brother, it's not easy to catch you, let's go, we brothers are going to drink and eat meat, Second Emperor Brother is also waiting!"

Where others could compete for King An, Luo Pingyuan couldn't shirk, so he could only follow Luo Junping to the prince's side.

Yellow mutton, venison, and the bear meat he sent just now are roasting on the bonfire. The fire is beating in half-brightness. The smell of meat and wine is intoxicating, even Luo Wenxiao Usually strict, it looks a lot more casual.

The two imperial brothers are first-rate in making friends with others, talking and laughing, and talking about idle topics.Luo Junping is proficient in the way of eating, drinking and playing, and he talks about everything with a set of knowledge, he said with a smile: "The fifth emperor is in charge of the Jingyu Guard, and from time to time he needs to deal with all kinds of people. When he is free, he often comes to me. There are a few Qing customers who know elegance and wit, let them talk with you and teach you more tricks, and the third brother will send you two dexterous maids to ensure that others will not play tricks in front of you in the future, just take a look at your clothes and talk, say From the last two sentences, you will know how heavy you are."

Luo Pingyuan deliberately pretended to be ignorant, and said with a smile: "Since I returned to Luo City, I have seen many treasures at the places of the Second Emperor and the Third Emperor, and they are very different from the ordinary goods in the neighborhood market. All treasures must have precious light. If they are ordinary or counterfeit, what you see is just stealth. The same is true for things and people. Deceived." The crown prince and King An didn't expect him to have another reason, and they had nothing to say after thinking about it.

Luo Pingyuan went on to say: "Now I'm borrowing to live in the big emperor's brother's mansion, it's really inconvenient for a maid, so I can only thank the third brother for his kindness."

King An lowered his voice and said, "I'm a straightforward person. Since I'm talking about Brother Da Huang, I have to remind Brother Wu Huang. He always behaves one way when dealing with people, and another way secretly. If nothing else, I will I just came back from hunting, and heard that my father called him over today, so he took the opportunity to sue you behind your back, saying that you were critical of him with sarcastic remarks, and that you didn't want to live in Prince Jing's mansion according to the order. Fortunately, your father is so wise, not only If he didn’t believe it, he reprimanded him a few words, because he didn’t come out at night, he was probably pretending to be sick because he was uncomfortable.”

Luo Pingyuan was a little restless tonight, so he was taken aback when he heard this.King An should not lie and fabricate such things that are easy to expose. Could it be that King Jing really complained in front of Emperor Tianyi that he was so unwilling to live in the mansion by himself?Once the latter thought appeared, he couldn't get rid of it, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

He said indifferently: "Is that so, Brother Dahuang should be used to the quietness, I come in and out, it does disturb me."

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Luo Wenxiao lightly reprimanded King An, "No matter what Brother Dahuang said, you should not spread it randomly."

Luo Junping shook his head and said: "I'm not going to talk about it, I just drank a few more glasses, I'm afraid that my fifth brother won't know, I don't know what I should know, and I'll suffer from him."

Luo Wenxiao interrupted: "Okay, I see that you really drank too much."

Luo Pingyuan felt that there seemed to be a mystery hidden in the words of the two of them, but he was not in the mood to think deeply or ask questions.What King An said was not unreasonable, King Jing concealed something about the Sheng Mansion, and took advantage of his own trust.After such a teasing in his heart, he was on fire, unable to sit down any longer, got up and said: "I just drank a few more glasses, and I am a little overwhelmed. The two emperor brothers sit down, I will go to rest for a while, this room is excused." .”

King An was a little surprised, the timing was good tonight, he had just begun to speak, but King Ning suddenly wanted to leave, so he had to say: "I didn't have a good time tonight, and Brother Wu Huang left just like that, which is a disappointment."

The crown prince gave him a hand, and said with a smile: "It's the same if we find a chance to get together tomorrow or the next day. It's okay for Brother Wu Huang to go by himself."

He looked at the direction where King Ning left, with a vague sneer on his lips.

On June [-]th, a full moon hung in the night sky like an ice tray. Luo Junping didn't know why King Jing excused his illness, but he knew it well.Even if he had to understand the medicine, King Jing was destined to have a hard time tonight. With Luo Yanhua's character, he would endure no matter how much he suffered, and if Luo Pingyuan tortured him, he might lose half his life.

King Ning passed by piles of bright bonfires and feasting subjects, and walked straight to King Jing's camp.The farther you go, the darker the night becomes. The night wind in the mountains carries the chill of the tide, and there are still laughter and noise coming from far behind, reflecting the coldness here.

He was a little drunk, but clear headed.He is no longer the weak child nine years ago, unable to enter the heavily guarded Changning Palace, let alone a thin tent in front of him.

When he was approaching, someone from King Jing's tent came out to greet him. It was Yang Yue.He looked a little heavy, and when he met King Ning, he saluted and said, "It turns out to be Your Highness Fifth. My Highness is not feeling well right now and cannot see guests. How about I invite you to talk to me tomorrow?" Wang, although the antidote came earlier today, the tents in the mountains are no better than those in the mansion. The cold atmosphere made Luo Yanhua feel very uncomfortable, and he was always worried.

King Ning said indifferently: "Director Yang, you usually use this kind of rhetoric to block people that the emperor doesn't want to see. I have seen it a lot. Don't lie to me. Why don't you go to the imperial doctor when you are sick?"

Yang Yue didn't expect that King Ning, who was usually mild and polite, suddenly turned his face, he hesitated for a moment, Luo Pingyuan said coldly: "I have something to ask the emperor tonight, and I will leave after I say it, but you want to come up to stop it?" Just go to the account.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Yang Yue didn't dare to let him in, but he couldn't offend King Ning too much, so he had to stop at the entrance of the camp, and still whispered: "His Royal Highness Jing is really unwell, it's not that he didn't see you, His Highness the Fifth Highness is sympathetic to his health." Alright, we've been living in the same mansion for many days, why bother to ask questions at this moment?"

He didn't mention it, but Luo Pingyuan heard that they lived together, and thought that King Jing was reluctant, and his mood was even worse. He said coldly: "Since that's the case, I'll go in to see the sick, get out of the way!"

Reaching out to push the compartment used three points of internal strength.Director Yang didn't expect him to make a move, he was pushed away two steps by surprise, and if he tried to stop him, King Ning had already stepped into the tent.

King Jing was lying on the couch.He had already taken the antidote, but every night when Bi Haicheng had a heart attack, he was always extremely uncomfortable.Xi Minghua, the owner of Mengxian Valley, came to Luo City in person a few days ago, and after feeling his pulse, he said that after drinking Bihai Chengxin on the third night of May, the medicine he took was not useless, although it was not enough to detoxify , but it can make the poison gather in one place and prevent it from spreading to the limbs and bones, so that the erosion on the body will be slower, and it will be easier to detoxify in the future, but at the same time, it will also cause the monthly poison to last longer and more severe.

The antidote given by Emperor Tianyi was only temporarily suppressed, so at this moment, he felt hot and cold all over his body, his viscera felt like being hollowed out, and his muscles and collaterals were also sore.Luo Yanhua had already experienced an attack, and knew that he would at least have to endure it until the middle of the night before it gradually eased.

He was so dazed that he heard someone talking outside, but he couldn't spare the energy to pay attention.Perhaps it was because he didn’t want to be seen as vulnerable and helpless. When he was sick, he was always unaccustomed to being looked after by others. He tried to keep the people around him away every time, but somehow hoped that the people he knew would stay nearby. , don't go far.His chest felt stagnant one after another, and he could only think that today is at least better than last month.

Luo Pingyuan walked in a few steps, and saw a lamp like a bean in the tent, King Jing was lying on his side on the couch, and did not get up to greet him as usual.

The rebellious spirit in his heart was still there, and he was so angry that he just wanted to ask King Jing for clarification immediately, so after a short pause, he reached out and pushed him up: "Brother Huang, don't sleep, I have something to say. "

Luo Yanhua felt in a daze that someone was shaking him forcefully, his whole body was so weak that he felt even more sad when he was shaken again.He opened his eyes, and the world was spinning for a while. It seemed that Luo Pingyuan was in front of him, but he couldn't see it clearly. He had to close his eyes again, and after a while, he managed to find a voice: "Is it Pingyuan?"

He felt that Luo Pingyuan was saying something, but he couldn't hear clearly. He was dizzy for a while, but the other party was holding him tight and wouldn't let him lie down, so he could only whisper, "Pingyuan, let go, I...I don't Comfortable."

Luo Pingyuan pushed and shook, but King Jing didn't wake up. He vaguely realized that something was wrong. In the dim light, he found Luo Yanhua's complexion was as snowy, and his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was trying to endure the pain. He was shocked immediately , The three-point drunkenness disappeared without a trace.

Yang Yue rushed in, and said sullenly: "Your Highness, if you continue to make trouble, the subordinates will disrespect you!" Seeing that Luo Pingyuan was still holding King Jing, he was afraid to act rashly, so he could only reprimand in a low voice. : "What is wrong with my Highness to you? You bullied him like this when he was sick!"

Luo Pingyuan remained silent, and supported King Jing to lie down. He felt that the other person's body was weak and weak. He tried to touch his forehead, but the tentacles were covered with cold sweat.

He no longer had the intention to ask questions, and there was a confusion in his head. He asked in a low voice: "Why did the emperor suddenly become so ill? Why didn't you ask for an imperial doctor?" Where are the servants?"

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Your Highness, please don't disturb others. Fifth Highness, let's go out and talk."

Luo Pingyuan walked out of the tent with him. Of course, Yang Yue couldn't reveal the existence of Bihai Chengxin without authorization, so he could only vaguely say: "Your Highness, this is an old problem. Sometimes it happens every once in a while, and it will get better after a few hours. He doesn't want to let him People know that Gu Yu is going to brew medicine, His Highness also asked him to go to a farther place, so as not to overwhelm others with the medicine and ruin the hunting interest."

Luo Pingyuan said angrily: "When is it, it's up to you! He is sick and confused, and you are also confused?"

Yang Yue shook his head and sighed: "His Royal Highness King Ning has not been here for many years, so I don't know. His Highness has come here like this every time he gets sick these years. The imperial doctor may not be available, and it may not be effective when he arrives. It is harmful and useless to spread the word. Fortunately, I brought the right medicine with me when I went out for the first time, and it should pass after a few hours." He has been in Jingwang's mansion for seven years, and because he knows the specific situation better than others, his tone reveals desolation, and he said: "The Fifth Highness is still tomorrow. Come again."

Luo Pingyuan stood there in a daze for a while, now he understood that things should not be done impulsively and recklessly.Perhaps it is true as Yang Yue said, in this place full of tents and people, looking for an imperial doctor may mean more troubles for King Jing.

He whispered: "Then, let me accompany Brother Huang and take care of him."

Yang Yue had no choice but to rely on King Ning.

Luo Pingyuan returned to the tent, dragged a stool, and sat by the bed.Luo Yanhua was still lying quietly like when he went out just now, but his brows frowned even tighter.

Luo Pingyuan took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead.When he was a child, he saw his brother sleeping many times. At that time, he always thought very proudly that his brother was really good-looking, even more beautiful than the fourth brother.At that time, Luo Shenhua was also very quiet, but he was more healthy and bright.Once upon a time, there was so much tiredness and pain on this familiar and beautiful face.The silence in the tent was almost bleak, compared with the jubilation of hunting and feasting, it was like another world.

How many times he heard that King Jing was in poor health and was in a difficult situation, but until tonight, he didn't realize that those illnesses and cold reception were so deeply engraved in time, without interruption.Going to the Hanshan faction by myself and coming back again seems like a lifetime away, but the dilemma Luo Yanhua faced in Luocheng has always existed, and it has continued from nine years ago to the present, and there still seems to be no end in sight.Thinking of this, his hands trembled a little.

Naturally, King Jing couldn't detect King Ning's mood, and he used all his strength to fight against the poison in his body. At this moment, he felt a soft and warm touch on his forehead, and he said in a daze, "A Su."

Luo Pingyuan's hand paused, and he heard him ask softly again: "Has Pingyuan left?"

"Let's go." Luo Pingyuan sighed, a little uncomfortable.When King Jing was so ill and delirious, it was Qin Su who he wanted to find, but what he wanted was to let him go away.Maybe we should try to move out of Prince Jing's Mansion sooner after we go back.

Sure enough, Luo Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief, as if he felt relieved.Luo Pingyuan's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Why don't you want to see him so much, do you hate him living in the mansion?"

King Jing only felt that the people around him were very close. It must be Qin Su, but why did Qin Su ask the question knowingly?He said in a daze: "Didn't I say that, although I am happy, but Ping Yuan, if Ping Yuan gets close to me, and the emperor finds out, he will be suspicious and suspicious of him."

Luo Pingyuan was stunned, this was King Jing's sincere words.He never thought in this direction.

Maybe it was because he didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, and he was always half suspicious and half watching, or maybe it was because Emperor Tianyi didn't care much about himself in the early years, but he still cared occasionally, and when he returned from his studies, his attitude was even more gentle Trust, often with that kind of father's care, he has never felt what it is like to be suspected and dealt with by the emperor, and it is difficult to think of himself.

Not to mention the prince, Emperor Tianyi loved Luo Xuening and King Yun very much. Although King An was often reprimanded, the lessons and punishments he received did not exceed the scope of father and son.Only from King Jing's situation, he could feel the cruelty of the emperor's heart.Even if you are sick, you can't let others know, and those close to you will be treated with suspicion and coldness.Years have passed, and the resentment and taboo my father has towards King Jing seems to have no end. He wants to use him, but he doesn't trust him so much.

He lowered his head and continued to ask like a ghost: "Then nine years ago, why did you ignore me after the accident in Fengyi Palace?"

This sentence was said close to his ear, he clearly saw a touch of pain passing across Luo Yanhua's face, as if he was struggling in a boundless hallucination, he couldn't even lift his eyelashes, casting a haggard shadow densely: "Don't ask, Ah Su, don't ask, I can't save anyone, but at least I have to keep him and Pingyuan."

A sharp pain arose in Luo Pingyuan's heart, which spread endlessly. He couldn't bear it and was powerless to ask any more questions.

Gu Yu came in with a bowl of medicine, and looked warily at King Ning beside the bed.

"Don't be afraid, I didn't do anything to your Patriarch." King Ning sighed, helped King Jing up, let him lean on his body, and Gu Yu took the medicine for him, "Don't worry about him being sick, it's all because of him. bully me."

He looked at Prince Jing's bloodless face, even though many things were different, he seemed to see Luo Shenhua who protected him and treated him well back then, the emperor brother who agreed to build a snowman together even though he was very busy.He comforted in a low voice: "Brother Huang, I understand, so don't worry, take good care of your illness."

Later, when Luo Pingyuan thought back on this night, he felt that he thought he understood a lot, and his knowledge was not limited in general.
