Empress

A few dim palace lanterns were on in the imperial garden, revealing a sense of silence and gloom.A white figure stood in front of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, casting a long shadow on the stone steps.Rong Cheng stepped up the stone steps and walked into the pavilion.

The man opposite turned his head when he heard footsteps, it was Guan Hengyu.

Seeing Rong Cheng's appearance, Guan Hengyu's gloomy eyes became brighter, "You're here." Seeing that his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, Rong Cheng asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?" Guan Hengyu said calmly : "Not for a long time, just an hour."

Rong Cheng didn't notice that Guan Hengyu was usually weak in writing, but he was a stubborn person.He said, "I thought you wouldn't want to see me again."

After a moment of silence, Guan Hengyu said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you at that time."

After he went back, he thought for a long time that Rong Cheng had no one to rely on in the palace, and he could only swallow his anger when he was bullied, and he almost lost his life.Being bullied to this extent, revenge is also human nature.He should not judge others by himself.

Rong Cheng said, "You don't blame me for using you?"

Guan Hengyu smiled softly, "You can use me, which means I'm still useful." Rong Cheng didn't know whether to be lucky or worried.

In short, if the two talk, they can sit down and have a good talk.

Guan Hengyu hesitated and said: "Actually, I was in Liyuan that day, and I went to see you on purpose."

Rong Cheng was not surprised, otherwise, as Prince Guan Hengyu, how could he suddenly appear in such a place, he must have received the wind.Sitting in the gazebo until Yinshi, the two finally separated and went back to the palace.

Cheng Huan Palace was dead silent, Rong Cheng went back to his room smoothly, luckily nothing went wrong.

Drowsy, Rong Cheng dreamed that someone kissed his face, then to the tip of his nose, and then to his lips, sucking awkwardly and jerky.[-] He frowned and struggled under the quilt, but his wrist was pinned and he couldn't move.The kiss deepened, as if to swallow him up.Rongcheng groaned unconsciously.

After an unknown amount of time, the kiss finally ended, and the man lay beside his ear, muttering sorry guiltily.When Rong Cheng woke up, the sky was already bright.

He stared at the top of the hall in a daze for a moment, then suddenly noticed something, turned his head and found that Cassia was in his room.The table was full of tempting breakfasts, the palace servants withdrew, leaving only the two of them.Rong Cheng lifted the quilt and sat up, "When did you come?"

Jueming seemed to be very tired, his eyes were black and blue, he forced a smile and said: "I see that you are a sound sleeper, so I didn't wake you up."

Rong Cheng did sleep soundly, perhaps because he hadn't been forced to sleep by Guan Hongfeng for some days, and he was lazy and relaxed, and he didn't even know when Cassia Ming would come.Rong Cheng came to the table and poured a glass of water to drink, and suddenly heard Jue Ming ask: "Where did you go last night?" Rong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he stopped drinking water, and turned to look at Jue Ming.Jueming laughed, "I came to look for you last night and found that you were not in the house." Rong Cheng was a little flustered, but his expression was calm: "I went to the toilet." Pull Rong Cheng to have breakfast.After breakfast, Jue Ming was summoned by the emperor to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Rong Cheng stared at the table of breakfast in a daze.

Guan Hongfeng really liked Cassia Ming, since he entered the palace, he accompanied him nine out of ten days.

So Rong Cheng has more time to go to Buliutang.

After that night, Rong Cheng and Guan Hengyu tacitly did not mention the events of that day again, as if gum caries had never happened, they discussed poetry and books as usual.On this day, Guan Hengyu did not come back for a long time, and Rong Cheng waited in Buliutang until sunset.Just as he was about to get up and leave, Guan Hengyu came back.

Dressed in white, like a gentleman, Guan Hengyu said apologetically, "I've waited a long time."

Rong Cheng saw that he was sweating, and his pale face rarely blushed, as if he was having some fun, he asked curiously: "Where did your lord go?" Guan Hengyu had a smile on his face, "When I came back, I ran into him Eleventh brother, so I was delayed for a while." It took Rong Cheng a while to realize that the eleventh brother he was talking about was King Shaonan.He took a tight breath, "Is it King Shaonan?"

Guan Hengyu took the water from the palace man to quench his thirst, and nodded.

Rong Cheng's hands under the stone table were tightly clasped together, "Why did King Shaonan come into the palace?"

Guan Hengyu handed the cup to the palace man, and sat on the stone chair, "I heard that the emperor announced him into the palace, and we have something to discuss." Er Rongcheng's nails dug deep into his flesh, and he asked tentatively, "Where is the king of Shaonan?" Did you bring guards or followers?" He looked deeply at Guan Hengyu, wanting to ask Yu An's whereabouts from him.Guan Hengyu thought for a while, "No, only Brother Eleven."

As he said that, he seemed to feel something, looked at Rong Cheng, and found that his face was not right, and his heart moved, "Why did you ask this suddenly?" Rong Cheng lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fell, and shook his head, "It's nothing , I just asked casually." Guan Hengyu wanted to ask further, but Rong Cheng dragged the conversation elsewhere.

The two of them chatted without saying a word, Guan Hengyu said a lot, but Rong Cheng seemed to be slow and didn't hear a few words.Seeing that Rong Cheng was absent-minded, Guan Hengyu couldn't help becoming suspicious, "What's on your mind?" Rong Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Guan Hengyu who was opposite him, and he was looking at himself with concern in his eyes.If Rong Cheng guessed correctly, Guan Hengyu should like him.

Otherwise, in Liyuan at that time, he would not risk offending the emperor and speak for him.He wants to bet - back.

Rong Cheng thought about his words, and said, "There is a little mute next to King Shaonan, who was my accompanying student in the Chi Kingdom when I was a child." Guan Hengyu was startled, as if he had an impression.

He had heard about that servant, and it was said that King Shaonan had rescued him from a thief on the road, and he had been with him ever since.But the little mute is not only a slave, but also a restraint that King Shaonan used to relieve.Guan Hengyu didn't expect that his eleventh brother's people would have something to do with Rong Cheng.

The meaning of Guan Hengyu's words was unclear, and he said in a low voice: "So you asked me just now, because you wanted to know the whereabouts of that servant?" Rong Cheng knew that Guan Hengyu had guessed it, and he didn't intend to explain, "Yes."

Originally thought that Guan Hengyu would be as angry as last time, but he sighed, the sound was full of helplessness and pampering.Guan Hengyu said, "Why don't you just ask me?"

Rong Cheng paused, with an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, "You will be unhappy." Guan Hengyu said seriously: "If you keep it from me, I will be unhappy." Laughing, I don't mean to blame Rongcheng at all.

Rongcheng seldom felt guilty, he suppressed the emotions he shouldn't have, and said: "Last time Yu'an offended King Shaonan, he sent him to the leopard room, and he hasn't come out yet."

Guan Hengyu is so smart, he guessed the meaning of Rong Cheng's words, "So you want me to help you save him?" Rong Cheng pursed his lips, he stood up suddenly, supported the stone table and gave Guan Hengyu kneel down.Guan Hengyu's calm expression changed, and he hurriedly helped Rong Cheng up, "Why is this between you and me?"

Rong Cheng looked up at him, unwilling to get up, "Yu'an fell into King Shaonan's hands because of me, I can't just watch him suffer."

The two looked at each other, Guan Hengyu couldn't bear to refuse the pleading in Rong Cheng's eyes.

After a long time, Guan Hengyu said: "I promise to help you, but I can't promise you whether I can save that person."

After all, King Shaonan is just his half-brother. Although the two have a strong relationship, they are not brothers.

Rong Cheng stared at Guan Hengyu with dark eyes: "As long as the prince can help me rescue Yu'an, I can do whatever you want." Guan Hengyu's body shook.

The two of them understood the meaning of this sentence.Until Rong Cheng left, Guan Hengyu didn't recover.

"My lord, it's time to take some medicine."

The little eunuch called several times before Guan Hengyu came back to his senses, staring at the dark concoction in front of him, he didn't drink it for a long time.

He was exposed to the wind for too long, coughing continuously, and his face became even paler, "Go and deliver a letter for me, saying that the emperor has rewarded me with the best fine wine, please come and taste it with brother ten."

"Yes."

Back to Chenghuan Palace without a cup of tea, Jue Ming also came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he brought something to eat for Rong Cheng, it looked like the pastry bestowed by the emperor.Caesar took it as his own in the palace, and he ate it as soon as he sat down.Rong Cheng also ate a few pieces.

Jue Ming suddenly said: "You have been away from the palace for the past few days, and the emperor came several times without seeing you, and asked what's the matter." Rong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at him, "What did you say?"

Jueming bit the pastry and mumbled: "I said you went for a walk in the imperial garden, so the emperor didn't ask any questions."

Guan Hongfeng's thoughts are now on Jueming, Rong Cheng is not worried about the sudden call of the emperor, but he has indeed gone to Buliutang too many times recently, so he should avoid suspicion.Coincidentally, I have been waiting for news in the palace these few days.

However, after several days in a row, Rong Cheng did not wait for the news of the Eighteenth Prince, instead, it was Eunuch Yang who came to announce the decree, and Jue Ming was promoted to the position.For a while, Cassia became a favorite.

But he didn't look happy, Rong Cheng only said a few words of comfort as if he was still thinking about his life in the theater troupe.Caesar Ming smiled, but it didn't look like he was sincere, but rather bitter.Cassia Ming is now in the limelight, and even Rong Cheng is also in the limelight, so he has received a lot of stares.That night, Rong Cheng finally waited for the news.The note tied to the stone reads: See you in Liutang when you are ugly.

Rong Cheng burned the note, took a bath and changed his clothes, and when the ugly time came, he left Chenghuan Palace and went to Buliutang.Guan Hengyu was already waiting in the yard, when he saw Rong Cheng approaching, he poured a glass of water slowly.

How could Rong Cheng care about drinking water, he came in front of Guan Hengyu, rarely showing nervousness: "Did the King of Shaonan agree?" Guan Hengyu showed no emotion on his face, and did not speak for a long time.

Rong Cheng's heart sank slowly to the bottom of the valley, and the remaining hope disappeared without a trace. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "King Shaonan is not willing, is he?" Guan Hengyu looked at Rong Cheng in the moonlight. Li Li's face fell, and she suddenly smiled, "Brother Eleven agreed." Rong Cheng was taken aback, and his ears buzzed, "Really?"

Guan Hengyu nodded, "Eleventh Brother said, he happened to be tired of playing too, if I like it, I'll give that little mute to me." Rong Cheng didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he was slightly short of breath, "Shaonan Wang What do you want to exchange with him?" Otherwise, with King Shaonan's temper, Duan Duan would not agree easily.

Guan Hengyu shook his head, "Brother Eleven has always loved me, he would find anything I wanted when I was a child, and he never negotiated terms with me." Rong Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Guan Hengyu suddenly said: "Long Ji, does what you said last time still count?" Rong Cheng froze, opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Guan Hengyu looked at him seriously, "You promised me that as long as I find someone for you, you will promise me one thing."

For some reason, Rong Cheng already guessed what he was going to say next.

Sure enough, Guan Hengyu took Rong Cheng's hand, as if making up his mind and said: "I want you to be with me." Rong Cheng had already expected this ending, he was not surprised, not even the slightest disturbance in his heart.What people want to gain, they always have to lose something.

What's more, his body has already been torn to pieces by Guan Hongfeng, as long as Guan Hengyu doesn't dislike him, he has nothing to be wronged.Anyway, in exchange for Yu'an's stability in the next life.

Rongcheng took a light breath, and his voice trembled slightly, "Okay."

Guan Hengyu has never been a person who takes advantage of others' dangers, but this time he has become a villain.From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to give up Rong Cheng.

From the time in Zangshu Pavilion, he had shown his heart to Rong, and it wasn't until the time in Liyuan that he realized his own thoughts.He has fallen in love with Long Ji.

Countless times, he wanted to ask the emperor to let the dragon trick go, but he didn't have the guts to speak up. Now he can only rely on this dirty method to keep Rong Cheng.Even if they can only sneak together.

Guan Hengyu approached slowly, Rong Cheng looked at the person in front of him, closed his eyes, and breathed slightly tight.Those cold lips finally stuck to him.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside Buliu Hall, and the next second, Guan Hongfeng's dark and furious voice sounded behind him: "Come here, arrest these adulterers and adulterers!"
