Empress

On the fifteenth day, Guan Hongfeng left the palace.

Before leaving, he held Rong Cheng in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and had a good time. After leaving, he didn't know how many days he would be able to come back.The two were dripping with sweat, Guan Hongfeng kissed Rong Cheng's lips until it was red and swollen, and he refused to let go.

Guan Hongfeng said: "Stay safe these days in the palace, don't get distracted just because I'm not here, let alone think about leaving."

Rong Cheng was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, his eyelashes were sticking together wetly, and his cheeks were rarely tinged with blood.Guan Hongfeng squeezed the tip of Rong Cheng's buttocks in displeasure, "Did you hear that?"

Rong Cheng was in so much pain that he hummed from his nose, it was limp and he had no strength at all.

He thought vaguely, even if he wanted to leave, with the chains on his feet, he might be caught before he even left the palace gate.

It was rare for Guan Hongfeng to see Rong Cheng so docile, like a lazy, prickly prickly cat, docile and beautiful, he took a tight breath, and then suppressed it again.This tossing is already noon.Originally, Guan Hongfeng planned to bring Rongcheng with him.

But when he thought of taking him out of the palace, I'm afraid he would just try to get away from him along the way.Guan Hongfeng would not be so stupid as to cause trouble for himself.

However, it would take more than ten days to leave. Guan Hongfeng was worried about Rongcheng, and before leaving, he ordered people to keep an eye on him. If he went out for a walk on weekdays, someone must follow him.After everything was explained, Guan Hongfeng was finally relieved to leave the palace.

The torrential rain poured down, and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was shaken from side to side by the wind and rain, and streaks of purple lightning shuttled through the dark clouds.Rong Cheng stood at the door and looked at his receding figure, the wind and rain rustled at his feet.

Until Guan Hongfeng's figure disappeared in the heavy rain, he turned and returned to the hall, the iron chains under his feet clanging in this quiet bedroom.Rong Cheng sat for a while, his heart moved, he looked back at the guards outside the door, and began to rummage through the boxes.Guan Hongfeng must have hidden the silver key somewhere.However, after searching the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the silver key was not found.

A bad thought came to mind, I'm afraid Guan Hongfeng took the key away.Rong Cheng sat on the bed exhausted, feeling a little headache.If he can't break the chain, he won't be able to escape.Such a great opportunity was missed.

After Guan Hongfeng left, Rong Cheng had a lot of leisure time, he didn't need to wait in bed or talk about it, and he didn't need to see the emperor dangling in front of him every day.But the good days haven't passed yet,

On this day, Rong Cheng practiced calligraphy with the emperor's pen and ink, only to hear the voice of the palace servants outside, "Long Ji, the queen empress wants to see you." Rong Cheng paused his hands, raised his head, and could vaguely see it through the screen A slender figure was outside the door, and the voice sounded like madder beside the empress.He thought for a moment, lowered his head, and continued to practice calligraphy.

The people outside waited for a long time, but they didn't get a response, and they didn't see Rong Cheng coming out, so they called out again, "Long Ji, the empress announces that you go to Jingren Palace immediately!" Rong Cheng turned a deaf ear and wrote "endurance and endurance" Four characters.

Qian Cao waited outside for a long time, a little annoyed, "The Empress announces you, do you dare not go?"

Rong Cheng said indifferently: "The emperor ordered me not to step out of this Hall of Mental Cultivation. I dare not disobey the imperial decree." Qian Cao was furious, "Then you dare not listen to the words of the empress, the mother of a country?" Rong Cheng still did not agree. Take it easy, "I'm not from the harem, so I don't need to listen."

He didn't need to guess, he knew that the queen came for Wen Yan's sake, now that Guan Hongfeng was out of the palace, the only person in the palace who could check and balance the queen was not there, if he really went today, he might not be able to come back easily.

Although he hated Guan Hongfeng, when it was time to take it out to intimidate him, he still had to intimidate him.

Hearing the emperor's order, Qian Cao didn't know what to do, she stomped her feet vigorously, and went back to the palace to report to the queen.When the sound of footsteps disappeared, Rong Cheng stopped the pen in his hand, feeling uneasy in his heart.

This matter will not be easy.

Sure enough, within the time of a stick of incense, there was another commotion outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The eunuch in charge beside the Empress came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a man in a threatening manner, as if about to rush in.Eunuch Yang's little apprentice stopped at the door and said with a smile: "Why is Eunuch Zhang here?" Eunuch Zhang said sharply: "The Empress ordered me to take Long Ji to Jingren Palace."

The little eunuch rolled his eyes, showing a sense of wit, "The emperor has ordered that Long Ji not be allowed to step out of Jingren Palace." Eunuch Zhang smiled, "What Eunuch means is that the empress wants to see you." Isn’t he ready?” The little eunuch lowered his head, “How dare a servant disobey the emperor’s orders.”

"And..." the little eunuch said with a bit more meaning, "If the emperor finds out, I'm afraid it will be very unpleasant."

Eunuch Zhang squinted at him, "Elder-in-law is a smart person, and the empress is the mother of a country. It is very common to see people in the harem. What's more, Xuan Longji went to Jingren Palace to accompany the empress." Niangniang is just talking, and she doesn't want his life, why should father-in-law be so worried."

"What's more, father-in-law has stayed with the emperor for such a long time, so he should know that Long Ji is just an unloved and lowly musician. If you want to offend the empress for him, have you thought about it?"

The little eunuch was in a dilemma. Although he was a person close to the emperor, he was not as good as Eunuch Yang in pleasing the emperor. If the empress would wear small shoes for him in the future, I am afraid that his life would be difficult in the future.In a few breaths, he weighed the pros and cons, and silently stepped aside.Eunuch Zhang smiled with satisfaction, and said to the palace man behind him, "Go and bring out the dragon trick."

A sound of footsteps disrupted the silent palace, Rong Cheng looked up, and saw two eunuchs rushing towards him in a menacing manner, grabbing his shoulders, and the writing brush fell from his hand, drawing a black mark on the paper, splashing ink everywhere .

The sky was rumbling, heavy rain was pouring down, and the dark sky seemed to be collapsing.

Rong Cheng was dragged into Jingren Palace by the eunuchs and thrown on the ground. He was soaked through, his clothes stuck to his flesh, and the water drops rolled down with the blink of his eyelashes.The queen sat on the phoenix seat, looking down at Rong Cheng, "I want to see the dragon performer, I have to knock three times and invite four times."

Rong Cheng unhurriedly wiped off the water droplets on his face, stood up precariously, and said calmly: "The empress is joking, the emperor ordered that you can't take a step out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, otherwise you'll have to question me when you come back." "

A coldness flashed in the queen's eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

Rong Cheng raised his eyes, and there were indistinct emotions hidden in the dark eyes, "Don't dare."

The more calm he was, the more he couldn't hide the coldness in the queen's eyes, "I thought that the dragon fighter didn't dare to come because there were ghosts in his heart." Rong Cheng looked at her calmly, without a trace of panic in his eyes, "I do things openly and aboveboard, and I have never had any ghosts." The queen's complexion changed, and she raised her hand to slap the throne vigorously, "Presumptuous, how dare you talk back to me!"

Qian Cao, who was standing aside, winked, and two eunuchs immediately rushed up from behind to hold down Rong Cheng, and pressed him heavily to the ground. "Long Ji disrespected Ben Gong and stripped him of his clothes."

Rong Cheng's complexion changed, he struggled hard, but couldn't resist the crowd, his coat was taken off roughly, revealing his fair skin.Seeing the Queen's eyes, Qian Cao understood immediately, picked up the hot tea on the table, strode up to Rong Cheng, lifted the lid of the tea, and poured it on his body, splashing all the hot tea on his chest, alternately hot and cold, Suddenly the pain was unbearable.Rong Cheng clenched his lips, his face was pale and bloodless, and his body trembled uncontrollably.Seeing his appearance, the queen got angry, "Do you know your mistake?"

Rong Cheng raised his eyes to look at her, panted and said, "Guan Hongfeng is back, and I won't let you go." He slept on this body, if it broke, Guan Hongfeng would probably go mad.For a moment, Rong Cheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The queen leaned back on the phoenix seat, and smiled softly, "The emperor is not in the palace now, so the dragon fighters don't need to use the emperor to suppress the palace."

Wen Yan was sent to the palace after three years of painstaking training by her mother's family. She originally wanted to get rid of Rong Cheng's favor, but she didn't expect that the musician looked harmless, but it was a poisonous snake. How could she be reconciled to ruining all her hard work.

The queen touched her finger protector, "Long Ji called the emperor by his name, disrespected the emperor, went to bring a bucket of ice water, and threw him in." It was dark, and Rong Cheng was carried back in a daze by the eunuchs Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Eunuch Yang's little apprentice saw him, he was so frightened that he clearly said that he was chatting with the empress, how did he become like this.

Eunuch Zhang saw what he was thinking, and explained: "Long Ji is disrespectful to the empress, that's why he taught him a lesson." Rong Cheng was helped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and placed on the dragon bed, his whole body was as cold as ice Yes, it's freezing hot.The little eunuch was afraid of accidents, so he hurriedly asked the palace servants to go to the imperial physician.

But in less time than a cup of tea, the palace servant came back and said tremblingly that all the imperial doctors had gone to the queen's place.

How could the little eunuch not know that the Queen did it on purpose, he looked at Rong Cheng, fearing that something might happen and he would not be able to explain it, so he hurriedly found a thick quilt to cover him, and stayed by the bed, not daring to leave.Rong Cheng developed a high fever in the middle of the night.

He was like falling into an ice cellar, and the scenes in his dream flashed like a revolving lantern, one scene after another, passing very quickly.Before his fever subsided, Rong Cheng was taken to Jingren Palace again when the sun was high.

The queen was determined to teach him a lesson, and found all kinds of excuses to torture Rongcheng, but she refused to let him die, hanging half of his life, and then sent him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.For several days, Rong Cheng was taken to Jingren Palace to be tortured.

He was lying on the dragon bed, dreaming in a daze. He had never hoped that Guan Hongfeng would come back so much.But he knew that he couldn't rely on Guan Hongfeng.

The queen is the mother of a country, how could the emperor fall out with his first wife because of such a lowly trick like him, and stand up for himself.At noon that day, Rong Cheng woke up from his dream, looking at the roof of the palace with his bloodshot eyes, his eyes were extremely calm.

Eunuch Zhang's voice came from outside, this time Rong Cheng didn't wait for them to come in, got up and put on his clothes, walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with steady steps.It was another rainstorm day, the clouds were overcast, the thunder exploded in the clouds, and the purple electricity shuttled.At Haishi, a shrill scream suddenly came from Jingren Palace.
