Empress

Guan Hongfeng took Rongcheng to a house in the northwest of the imperial city.

The two guards guarded the door lazily, and saw two black shadows coming from a distance.

No one knew the news that the emperor was going to come in advance. When people approached, the guards recognized their identity and were startled. They were about to kneel down and salute when Guan Hongfeng interrupted: "Where is King Shaonan?"

The guards looked at each other, "In......in the leopard room."

No one dared to stop the emperor and let them go in.

Passing through the school grounds, the houses in the distance were lit with candlelight, and there seemed to be the sound of wild animals, which was extremely clear in the silent night.

The door of the study room was ajar, and what I saw was Yu'an trapped in a cage. His body was covered with scars, curled up in a corner of the cage, his lips were dry and pale, trembling like a flower in the wind.

Rong Cheng opened his eyes wide and took a heavy breath.

Yu An is really still alive.

Rong Cheng's hands trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to push the door in, but he stopped abruptly.

There seemed to be something on the other side of the cage, and as it stood up, it stepped out of the darkness, revealing speckled patterns and powerful limbs.

It was a leopard half as tall as a man.

The leopard seemed to be hungry, looked at Yu An in front of him, as if seeing a prey, opened its mouth wide, exposed its sharp teeth, and rushed towards Yu An suddenly.

Rong Cheng's breathing was suffocated, his pupils constricted, and he lost his voice: "No!"

The leopard rushed over nimbly, and when it was only half an arm's length away from Yu'an, the iron chain tied to its neck was suddenly pulled into a straight line, making a rattling sound. It hissed and stared at Yu'an unwillingly.

Yu An was so frightened that he held his head and trembled, and made an indistinct sound. He was dumb, crying like crying, with big tears rolling down his eyes.

After a while, there was the sound of heavy footsteps in front of him.

King Shaonan came out of the darkness, came to the cage, and clicked his tongue, "It's a pity, it's only a little short."

Yu'an trembled unbearably, his body was wet in a puddle, full of his tears.

King Shaonan approached and said, "Wake up well, you won't be so lucky next time."

King Shaonan walked to the wooden chair in front of the desk and sat down, kneading sunflower seeds, drinking tea, and watching Yu'an and Leopard in the cage.

He told the palace servants beside him: "Go, loosen the chain a little more."

The palace man went around the cage, came behind the leopard, and loosened the iron chain one more step.

As soon as the leopard felt that the chain was loose, it took advantage of the situation and rushed over, its fangs almost touching Yu'an's toes.

Yu'an shrank back, let out a terrified "ahhh" sound, unable to say a word, looked at King Shaonan in tears, looking pitiful and desperate.

King Shaonan's heart moved slightly.

The leopard was still relentlessly rushing towards Yu'an, wishing to swallow him in one gulp, the sound of iron chains struggling echoed in the leopard room.

Outside the door, Guan Hongfeng leaned into Rong Cheng's ear and said, "This leopard eats meat all year round, and human flesh is nothing more tempting to it."

The person in his arms trembled violently, not knowing whether it was from fright or from the cold.

Rong Cheng's hands and feet were cold, looking at Yu'an who was shivering in the cage, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he pushed open the door to go in, but Guan Hongfeng quickly pulled him back into his arms and covered his mouth.

Guan Hongfeng hissed in his ear, "Do you want to go in and accompany Yu'an?"

Rong Cheng struggled, and slapped Guan Hongfeng across the face with his wildly swinging hand. Although the force was not strong, there was a muffled sound.

Guan Hongfeng's eyebrows were dark, and he said in a deep voice: "If you mess around again, I'll have someone loosen that leopard, and let it have a taste of Yu'an."

The person in his arms froze, Guan Hongfeng bit Rong Cheng's ear, and licked it, "Long Ji, it's you who insisted on coming here. Since you want to see, I'll let you see enough."

Guan Hongfeng pulled Rong Cheng's chin and forced him to look forward. Yu'an was still crying, trembling from crying, his eyes were swollen from crying, and he didn't dare to look at the leopard behind him.

Rong Cheng's heart was twisted like a knife.

He bit his lip, suppressing the crying in his throat, biting his lip until the skin was torn, and there was a strong smell of blood.

King Shaonan didn't notice the two people outside the door, he stared at Yu An wholeheartedly, after a while, he ordered: "Bring him out."

One palace servant tightened the iron chain, another palace servant went into the cage and dragged Yu An out. He was so weak that he couldn't even stand on his legs, and the hand holding the cage was shaking.

King Shaonan came down, pressed Yu'an on the iron cage, lifted his robe, and covered him from behind.

King Shaonan bit his ear and said, "This king likes you at this moment, your body is the most interesting."

When Yu'an was afraid, his body shrunk, and King Shaonan raised his head and sighed, and his actions became more reckless.

Their fierce overlapping figures were reflected in the leopard's clear eyes, and also reflected in the eyes of the two people outside the door.

A heavy gasp echoed in the room, several thunderclaps sounded in the sky, and the rain fell with a splash.

Yu'an sat on King Shaonan, rising and falling with his movements.

His face was covered with tears, and his parted lips could not make a sound, and his expression was full of pain.

King Shaonan pulled Yu'an's chin, "Are you unhappy?"

Yu An shook his head, tears rolled down his cheeks and onto his legs.

King Shaonan's eyebrows were full of coldness, and he said with a smile: "If the person who came to you today is that musician, I'm afraid you will laugh out loud with joy."

When he thought of Yu An and Rong Cheng getting acquainted, and the relationship between the two was master and servant, jealousy surged in his heart.

"Did you do something behind my king's and emperor's brother's backs when you were together in those few days?"

Yu'an shook his head desperately, only a short and unpleasant "ahah" sound came out of his mouth.

King Shaonan didn't believe it, he squeezed Yu'an's chin and looked at him, "Did you do what you did with this king?"

Yu'an could only shake his head, tears kept falling.

But the more he cried, the more irritable King Shaonan became, as long as he thought of Yu'an being touched by other men, he would like to kill someone.

"Shut up!" King Shaonan put all his strength into his hands, and said in a deep voice: "If you are innocent with him, why did you try every means to enter the palace without telling me that you knew Long Ji?"

"I see that you have long had a dragon in your heart. I'm afraid that when I met you for the first time, you appeared here just to find out the whereabouts of the dragon, right?"

Yu'an's small thoughts were punctured, his breath was suffocated for a moment, and the panic that flashed across his face was clearly caught in the eyes of King Shaonan.

King Shaonan was furious.

He didn't expect that what he said came true, and he really guessed what Yu'an was thinking.

The thought of letting go of Yu An was finally dispelled in his heart, King Shaonan grabbed Yu'an's mind suddenly, his eyes were scarlet, "Do you really like that cheap musician?"

Yu'an trembled, and a coolness spread to his limbs and bones. He felt that King Shaonan's eyes were like the leopard in the cage at this moment, wishing to swallow him up.

Thick clouds rolled, thunder roared, and raindrops splashed down, splashing on the plain white clothes.

At the same time, coolness rushed from the heart to Rongcheng outside the door.

Guan Hongfeng beside him turned his head and laughed suddenly, his eyes were full of chills, "That dog slave likes you?"
