end of days

Zhuo Ran didn't think that much at first, but now he heard what Concubine De said, and he started to feel a little worried.Although Xuanyuanhen valued Zhuo Yu, but the court was a mess, no one knew if Zhuo Yu would have any accidents.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Now that you mention it, I really can't let it go. In the future, Xiaoyu will be in the palace, and Zheng'er will need your help."

"That's natural, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long. Your Majesty treats the Pei family much better now than before. There is no need for me to lock myself in this cage anymore."

"...that's a good thing." Zhuo Ran smiled, it's really rare for Pei Zheng to see through all of this, but Xiaoyu...who should I entrust to.

"In fact, you can rest assured that His Majesty's ability is far beyond what you have seen. He will not let others hurt Xiaoyu. If you are worried, you might as well stay in the palace." It can be seen that it may not be a bad thing for Zhuoran to stay.

"You don't understand..." No matter how strong Pei Zheng is, she is a woman after all, a woman taught by three obediences and four virtues, but he is definitely not, he does not need to be attached, what he wants is a broad world.

"That's all, I really don't understand your thoughts. It's getting late, and I should go too. You have to be careful yourself. Recently, concubines have been pregnant one after another, and they have all been named concubines. I haven't seen what happened to Concubine Jing." But, I know Concubine Yu's temperament very well. I'm afraid she will cause trouble for you. Her mother is expensive because of her son. When something happens, if Concubine Shu adds another fire, no one knows what His Majesty will do. deal with."

Zhuo Ran was also taken aback when he heard the words, he had never heard of Xuanyuan Hen having a child these days, no wonder there are fewer of them these days.

"what happened?"

"It's okay..." There was an unexplainable feeling in my heart, as if something was blocked.

"As long as there is nothing to do, I'm leaving too. I don't dare to stay here for long. I came back last time, and my Ziyang Palace was almost destroyed by His Majesty." Concubine De got up while speaking, remembering the last time Xuanyuanhen couldn't help but smile wryly when he was angry in Ziyang Palace.

"Ah?!" Concubine De's words were in a daze, she was in a daze, she could only look at Pei Zheng who had already walked to the gate in doubt.

"By the way, father wants to see you once. If you have a chance after leaving the palace, you should go to Pei's mansion." Although he didn't know what his father Pei Ju's intention was, Pei Zheng still brought the words to Zhuoran.

"Okay." Mentioning Pei Ju, Zhuo Ran's impression is a bit vague. After all, the last time we met was ten years ago. Zhuo Ran's only impression is that Pei Ju's attitude towards him is quite gentle, which is totally different from what Pei Di said on weekdays. So serious.

As soon as Pei Zheng left, the entire Quehua Palace fell into silence. Zhuo Ran sat there motionless, staring at the tea bowl in front of him without focus, apparently in a daze.

The fact that Xuanyuanhen's concubine had a child really frightened him a lot. It was the first time he realized that there was really a separation between the two of them. He knew that Xuanyuanhen had a concubine, but it was only at this moment that he was separated from him for the first time. With real feelings.

Zhuo Ran shook his head annoyedly, trying to get rid of all those messy thoughts, but the more he did this, the more obvious his confusion became. Unknowingly, his mood has changed a lot.

"My lord, what are you worrying about..." The cold voice seemed a bit abrupt in the empty hall, Zhuo Ran suddenly raised his head in shock, and saw Suzaku standing upright in front of him.

"It's you……"

"Well, I heard that Concubine De is coming this way. Let me take a look. Is it because you have been shaken?" Suzaku has always remembered Zhuo Ran's matter in his heart, and now Xuanyuan Hen finally turned his attention away from Que Hua Palace a little bit. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhuo Ran to leave again in the future.

After much deliberation, Suzaku still decided to come to Quehua Palace again, but unexpectedly saw Concubine De's visit.

"My mind has never changed, so don't worry."

"It's so good. It's Concubine Shu's birthday in two days. No matter what, His Majesty will be there. I will contact you at that time. You and Concubine De will discuss the plan after leaving the palace. My hand can't reach so long. Go out In the future, we will have to rely on General Pei to manage the city gates."

"I see." Zhuo Ran said sullenly, but obviously he didn't notice his unusual depression, but Suzaku sensed it sensitively and couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything after all, just staring at him with burning eyes. Zhuoran.

"Leave me alone for a while..." Suzaku's gaze made Zhuo Ran unbearable, always felt that being stared at by her like this, the most unbearable memories in the bottom of my heart flooded in front of my eyes one after another.

Zhuoran didn't look back, but the oppressive feeling that suddenly disappeared behind him made him clearly know that Suzaku had left, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but found that his mood could not be relaxed at all. Obviously the long-awaited freedom was in front of him, but he couldn't help it. As happy as originally imagined.

"What a mess..."

After drinking the remaining tea in the pot in one gulp, Zhuo Ran got up and went into the inner hall. Xiao Xizi took care of Xiaoyu with all her heart, as if she really wanted to treat him as a younger brother.

"You go out first."

"Yes."

After sending Xiao Xizi away, Zhuo Ran sat in front of the couch, quietly staring at the sleeping Zhuo Yu, his eyes were full of pain, struggle and guilt, but there seemed to be a trace of determination hidden.

"Daddy seems to be breaking his promise again..." I still remember the promise he made when he promised Xiaoyu never to leave again. I didn't expect it to happen so fast. Zhuo Ran didn't want to disappoint Zhuo Yu's trust, but he wanted to leave this place desperately. The place, which contains the urgency and evasion that even he himself can't understand.

"I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that I have changed a lot, maybe... it's because your mother's death day is coming..."

As if to justify, Zhuo Ran's tone had a subtle sense of weakness, as if even he himself didn't believe what came out of his mouth.

Once again, Zhuo Ran has the desire to get drunk. Although he has vowed to quit drinking, it is undeniable that alcohol can always allow you to escape from reality in time when you need it.

And in the imperial palace, there is a lot of fine nectar and jade liquid.

When Yun Qing and Yun Che heard Zhuo Ran's instructions, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. It seemed that it was the first time that Zhuo Ran wanted something on his own initiative, and that thing—it turned out to be wine.

But Yunqing and Yunche were always slaves, and the orders of their masters were always the first in their hearts. Even though they were surprised, they still said "yes" in a low voice, and silently retreated.

Seeing this, Zhuo Ran felt a bit of untimely joking in his heart. He couldn't help but think that if the situation changed to Ziyin, he was afraid that his thoughts of wanting to get drunk and relieve his worries would be shattered. I'm afraid life is miserable, but it's also really sweet.

While thinking wildly, Yun Qing conveniently brought up the hidden daughter Hong. Zhuo Ran didn't need a wine cup, just picked up the jar and drank like this. , Yun Che nodded understandingly, and retreated together with Yun Qing.

"Master, it seems that something is wrong. Drinking like this is not a problem. Should we report it to His Majesty?"

"Alright, it would be bad if something happened, so be careful."

After discussing, the two hurried to the imperial study, but they only met Deyu. It turned out that Xuanyuanhen had dealt with the government affairs early and went to accompany Concubine Jing.

Yun Qing and Yun Che couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words. After staying in the Quehua Palace for a long time, even they gradually forgot the existence of other people in the harem, so they couldn't help but feel a little abrupt when they heard it.

"You go back and serve first, I'll go find your Majesty right now."

After paying their respects, Yun Qing and Yun Che returned to the Quehua Hall, feeling a little lamented in their hearts that the king's heart is unpredictable. He thought that the emperor was sincere to the young master, but he went to someone else in the blink of an eye.

But how did they know what Xuanyuanhen was thinking? Concubine Yu and Concubine Jing had a child. Although he was happy, he always felt guilty when facing Zhuoran. Before he knew it, he dared not go to Quehua Palace again. After that night, the little palace maid who was left behind by him, feeling guilty and looking forward to the child, Xuanyuanhen ran to Concubine Jing more diligently.

When De Yu rushed to Jianjia Palace, Xuanyuanhen was also taken aback, Zhuo Ran is a self-reliant person, sometimes he is even too calm, never thought that he would also want to get drunk.

Xuanyuanhen's first feeling was that Zhuo Ran had obviously encountered something troublesome, so without even thinking about it, he left Concubine Jing who had spoken halfway and ran out. Concubine Jing smiled helplessly, and put away the table by herself. After tea, he went back to the inner hall to rest without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, Xuanyuanhen heard the sound of dragons chant. It was obvious that the sword was infused with internal force and slashed through the sky. At first, it was sharp and wanted to break through the mind, but it gradually calmed down and then turned into a whimpering sound.

Xuanyuanhen doesn't need to look to know that Zhuo Ran is in a bad mood right now. The sound of the sword is full of sadness and nostalgia. He is obviously missing someone. Xuanyuanhen is a little disappointed. When Deyu first came to report, he even expected Zhuo Ran to be Because of himself, he used alcohol to drown his sorrows, guessing that maybe after getting along with each other these days, Zhuo Ran would be jealous for himself, but now it seems that this is definitely not the case.

A name flashed in Xuanyuanhen's mind, it was Dan Zhu, only her affairs could make Zhuo Ran lose control.

While he was thinking about it, there was a sound of "唰——" in his ear, and he saw Zhuo Ran standing in front of him with a sword in his hand. He was still holding a wine jar in one hand, and his cheek was burned because of the overpowering alcohol. red cloud.

Very beautiful, very attractive... Xuanyuanhen was a little distracted, but then he couldn't laugh or cry. If the sword in Zhuoran's hand was not pointed at his neck, he would enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him more.
