After the game emperor awakens
Chapter 4 Puppet
On the day of enthronement, it was still before dawn, and the palace people were already waiting outside with basins, towels and handkerchiefs. When the new emperor got up, they filed in to serve him.
Lu Xuechao personally changed Xie Chongjin's court clothes, straightened his clothes, straightened the twelve-pronged crown on his head that symbolized the emperor, raised his eyes and inadvertently looked at him.
Away from twelve jewels and dressed in crown clothes, the shadows of childhood bamboo horses, teenage confidantes, and pillow lovers suddenly become distant and strange, and become the majestic and dignified emperor in front of him.
Lu Xuechao was slightly stunned, and an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly arose in her heart.
However, when Xie Chongjin lowered his eyes to meet his gaze, his eyes were full of soft light, with a smile in his eyes, the familiar expression overlapped with the old figure, it seemed that nothing had changed.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.
"Your Majesty is enthroned today." Lu Xuechao suppressed his emotions and curled his lips to wish, "I wish my emperor long live, eternal happiness, eternal prosperity of our country, and well-being of all people."
Xie Chongjin grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Only by the queen's side, together for the country and the people, can I be happy forever."
The enthronement ceremony was cumbersome and lengthy, and it had to be held together with the post-sealing ceremony. The ceremony was grand and time-consuming.Preparations began at Yinshi when it was not dawn, until the sun shone fiercely, and the ritual officer was still reciting the congratulatory speech of the new emperor's enthronement.
The young emperor on the high platform was so bored that he wanted to yawn. Lu Xuechao, who was beside him, gently squeezed his hand and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, pay attention to your appearance."
A clear voice like spring water entered my ears, and the drowsiness and restlessness were swept away. Xie Chongjin immediately stood upright, even his posture was a little taller, and he coughed lightly: "Thank you, queen, for reminding me."
"However, this ceremony official talks too much nonsense... The court clothes are heavy and the sun is scorching. How can you bear it if you stand in this body for so long?" Into the ears of others, Xie Chongjin openly whispered to Lu Xuechao on such a serious occasion.
"Your Majesty..." Lu Xuechao had no choice but to say, "The once-in-a-lifetime ceremony has just passed."
Xie Chongjin didn't look sideways, and his mouth still couldn't stay idle: "Then Qingshu talked to me, and I didn't feel sad when I heard Qingshu talk, the sun made me angry."
Lu Xuechao pondered for a moment: "...Then, Huaiyun, do you want to eat lotus seed soup for lunch?"
Xie Chongjin said happily: "Is Qingshu making it himself again? Of course I want to eat everything Qingshu makes."
……
The civil and military officials underneath were still being devastated by the scorching sun, and they still worked hard to keep their postures still, fearing that they would make mistakes on important occasions, but they didn't know that the emperor and empress on the stage were already chatting about what to have for lunch.
The two teenagers chatted one after another, and the time passed quickly.When the ceremonial officials finally finished their libretto, received the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and received the kneeling worship of the officials, they were officially the emperor and empress from then on.
After the ceremony, all the officials waited for Xie Chongjin to issue an edict.
According to the usual practice, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the first edict he issued was to amnesty the world to show the new emperor's benevolence.
In the imperial study, Xie Chongjin was drafting an imperial edict.
Amnesty is what every new emperor will do, pardon all criminals in prison, erase criminal records, and give criminals a chance to start a new life.Xie Chongjin doesn't intend to break this rule, but he has to make some changes.
If it is true that all pardons are indiscriminate, it is kind to the prisoners, but it is cruel to the victims who were killed by those prisoners.Xie Chongjin is working on the Three Unforgivables - those who have committed the most heinous crimes will not be forgiven, those who do not repent will not be forgiven, and those who have not served half their sentence will not be forgiven.
After he finished drafting the edict, he handed the edict to Yun Luo to promulgate, but Yun Luo, who had always acted faithfully to his orders, showed hesitation for the first time, and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, think twice."
"My will has been decided." Xie Chongjin knew that there was no precedent for his changes to Amnesty, but since he made this precedent, wouldn't future generations have precedents to follow?Since ancient times, he has given amnesty to the world, released many vicious people, and caused many people to have no place to sue. He felt that it was time to change it.
Yun Luo had always kept her emotions secret, but she couldn't hide the astonishment in her tone at this moment: "Are you really... going to abolish Your Highness the Queen?"
……what?
Xie Chongjin didn't understand for a while.
"Yun Luo has served His Majesty for many years, and I don't think you have no sincerity towards Her Majesty the Queen." Yun Luo never talked much, but today he talked a lot. He also felt that the facts of His Majesty's actions were absurd, which was beyond his comprehension. The prime minister behind Her Majesty the Empress ascended to the throne, so there is no conferment ceremony today. Why seal the empress at noon and abolish the empress at noon, it is too humiliating. Your Majesty... Prime Minister Lu is a loyal minister."
The more Xie Chongjin listened, the more weird he became. He snatched the edict from Yunluo's hand and looked at it carefully. His expression was shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
That was actually an imperial edict to abolish the Empress.
It is written in the edict that the queen's virtues are deficient, the queen's position will be abolished, she will be demoted to a commoner, and she will be sent to the cold palace...
It's all about what.
What he wrote was obviously an imperial edict to amnesty the world.
Xie Chongjin wanted to tear up the imperial decree, but the soft cloth was like steel, even if he used his internal strength, it would be hard to shake it.
Seeing that the imperial decree could not be destroyed, Xie Chongjin simply re-wrote it.He didn't pay attention just now, but this time he realized that what he was thinking about was amnesty for the world, but what he wrote was the imperial edict to abolish the queen.
Xie Chongjin didn't believe in evil, and wrote one imperial decree after another. His heart became more and more horrified, but nothing changed.
This is clearly not what he wanted to write, but it seemed that someone had invisibly manipulated his body, forcing him to write the imperial edict to abolish the post.Xie Chongjin's hand holding the brush trembled violently. He tried hard to write the four characters "Amnesty for the World" stroke by stroke, but in the end, all that appeared on the paper were...
Into the limbo.
Xie Chongjin was startled and angry, furious, and swept the imperial edicts to the ground with a flick of his sleeve.
Yun Luo frowned slightly when she saw the decree of the abolished empress who had been thrown all over the place.
It seems that His Majesty really hates Her Highness the Queen, and wished to abolish him immediately.
Could it be that in the past... His Majesty's love for His Highness the Queen was all an illusion?
That His Majesty's acting skills are so real that he didn't even notice half of it.
Yun Luo was silent for a moment, slowly picked up a pair of imperial edicts, and said slowly: "No, I will go to the Chongxue Hall to present the edict to Her Royal Highness... No, Lu Shuren."
He was only loyal to His Majesty, even though His Majesty's order this time really made him incomprehensible, he just obeyed.
Xie Chongjin was still in the sudden involuntary shock, seeing that Yunluo had picked up the imperial decree and was about to leave, he immediately ordered to stop—don't go!
However, the shout was hoarse in his throat, and Xie Chongjin heard his calm voice.
"Go and declare."
……
Xie Chongjin was almost driven crazy by the sudden weirdness, full of anger and unable to vent.
Who was it that suddenly took over his body?
Yunluo was efficient in handling things, and she followed his orders like a follower, which was an advantage.But now, Xie Chongjin hated this advantage.
He couldn't make a sound, so he could only go to Chongxue Palace with Yunluo, trying to stop him.
When Lu Xuechao saw him, she came forward to greet him with a smile on her face.
If it was normal, Xie Chongjin must have stepped forward to help him up, and there was never any need to pay attention to those empty etiquettes between them.
But now, his footsteps are fixed there, like an indifferent bystander.
Yun Luo opened the imperial decree and concealed her complicated expression: "The queen listens to the decree."
Lu Xuechao glanced at Xie Chongjin with a little curiosity, and knelt down cooperatively to receive the order.
What kind of surprise is this going to give?What a reward, but also for him to specialize in drafting the imperial decree.
However, after hearing the content of the imperial decree read out by Yunluo, Lu Xuechao's expression became more and more pale.
He got up and walked forward, stood in front of Xie Chongjin, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, this is not how you play around. This joke...is a bit over the top."
He was waiting for an explanation from Xie Chongjin.
Xie Chongjin couldn't explain it.He couldn't move his body, couldn't speak, and couldn't even control his writing.
The two stared at each other silently for a long time.
Realizing that Xie Chongjin didn't mean to be joking, Lu Xuechao was slightly startled.
He lowered his head, his eyes slowly turned red, and after a long time, he asked softly, "What is your crime?"
At that time, Lu Xuechao was only a 17-year-old boy.
She has been spoiled by Xie Chongjin since she was a child, no matter how scheming she is, she can't hide her sadness and grievance.
He didn't want to hide it either, he looked at Xie Chongjin stubbornly with red eyes, and tears in his eyes, which made Xie Chongjin feel distressed and confused.
Of course Lu Xuechao was not guilty.Xie Chongjin didn't know why things turned out like this.Obviously everything was fine yesterday, and they were still looking forward to a bright and splendid future together, but today something happened unexpectedly, shrouded in gloom, it was extremely absurd.
Lu Xuechao never got an answer, his eyes gradually dimmed, and he was taken to the cold palace without saying a word.
Xie Chongjin was so anxious that he followed up again.
He found that even if he didn't leave, this body would automatically go to the cold palace.It was as if not only he wanted to go to the cold palace to meet Qing Shu, but also that invisible manipulator wanted to go to the cold palace too.
What would the manipulator do in the limbo?
Xie Chongjin didn't dare to think deeply.
Lenggong is a dilapidated house with damp bedding and rotten food. Most of the ex-concubines who have stayed here for a long time are crazy.
Lu Xuechao had never been wronged like this in his life.He entered the cold palace, but he remained calm.He was very puzzled by Xie Chongjin's behavior, but he didn't think he would stay here for a long time.
Ten years of love... How can there be a fake.If it was fake, how could he not be able to tell the difference.
Xie Chongjin hurried over.He had ten thousand words to explain to Lu Xuechao, he wanted to say that he couldn't help himself, he wanted to apologize that he was sorry for scaring him, he wanted to hug him and kiss him to comfort him.
...want to love him well.
The fact is that his body didn't move at all, he looked down at Lu Xuechao condescendingly, and the words he said became emotionless——
"Give him death."
Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao froze at the same time.
Lu Xue raised her head and asked softly, "Your Majesty is really... so heartless?"
Xie Chongjin couldn't tell what kind of sadness and powerlessness it was.He suddenly understood that the person behind the scenes came to the Leng Palace to kill Lu Xuechao.
He almost wanted to turn around and run away, but his footsteps were nailed in place and he couldn't move an inch.
Yun Luo also never thought that His Majesty would be so cruel, that the person next to her pillow would be destroyed if she wanted to, and would be killed if she wanted to.
But Lu Xuechao was already a commoner, and it was easy for the emperor to kill a commoner.
The palace people quickly prepared poisoned wine, daggers, and three-foot white silk, and asked Xie Chongjin to decide which one to use.
Xie Chongjin doesn't want to use anything, he just wants his care and safety.He looked at the three deadly instruments, his eyes almost showing fear.
He saw himself raise his hand.
How will the person behind the scenes choose?
By his hand, ask him to kill the person he loves the most.
How could there be such a cruel thing in the world.
Please, don't choose.
Qingshu is the person I want to be good to him for the rest of my life.
You can't kill him.
The young prince is arrogant by nature. On the day when he became the emperor of Changli, he should have been the most proud and arrogant.But within a day, his dignity was swept away, his arrogance was broken, and he begged humbly to the manipulator he hated to the bone.
Beg him to show mercy.
Not knowing if his prayer had worked, he suddenly heard himself say: "Forget it, spare his life for now."
Xie Chongjin came out of the cold palace, and seeing the bright and warm sun in the sky, he suddenly shivered, with a chill in his bones.
He breathed a sigh of relief with a half-crying smile, as if he was the one who had just escaped death.
... What happened today is too absurd.
The absurdity is much more than that.
Those big invisible hands did not withdraw just then, he was forced to do more absurd things like a puppet manipulated by strings.Xie Chongjin watched coldly as he recruited male favourites, drafted a lot of talent, lingered in the harem day and night, and gradually abandoned the government.Gradually degenerated from a sage and wise king to a senseless and foolish king. He was pointed out by his officials and reviled by all the people.
He also went from anger, resentment, despair, to indifference and numbness.
There are no castrated eunuchs in Changli Kingdom, and the palace servants who enter the palace will take a temporary medicine, and when they are released from the palace when they are old, or they are taken into the harem by the emperor, they will be released. medicine.All the male pets arranged in the palace come from this way.
There are many beautiful palace people, Xie Chongjin has never thought of touching them, even if he took a second look, he felt that it was a betrayal of Lu Xuechao, but the manipulators accepted him unceremoniously.
He was treated as a plaything, humiliated and teased wantonly, and he was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
The only good news is that the manipulator can't manipulate his body to truly favor others.Every time after the flop, Xie Chongjin was in the same room with the bed attendant, and he felt hot and unbearable, with evil fire in his stomach, wanting to have sex like traditional Chinese medicine, but he couldn't even step out of the bedroom.But this impulse is not unbearable, every day and every night, Xie Chongjin sleeps on the bed, and the bed attendant sleeps on the couch, and nothing happens all the time.
Although it was extremely uncomfortable, Xie Chongjin was unwilling to touch anyone other than Lu Xuechao.Next to the emperor's couch, only Lu Xuechao was always sleeping soundly.
Although in the eyes of Qingshu and outsiders, he has long been a heartless person.Xie Chongjin thought to himself mockingly.
These days of drunkenness and dreams have passed in three years.
The bright and bright young man who was frivolous, proud and invincible at the beginning has finally become depressed, full of resentment and hostility.
In the past three years, Xie Chongjin wanted to visit Lu Xuechao in Lenggong countless times, and missed him like crazy, but the manipulator seemed to have forgotten Lu Xuechao, and never went to Lenggong once.
Xie Chongjin wanted to see Lu Xuechao, but was also afraid of seeing Lu Xuechao.
Afraid of seeing Lu Xuechao's hateful eyes, he dared not face it.
He was afraid that the manipulator would go to the cold palace on a whim and kill Lu Xuechao, then he would rather not meet each other.
Xie Chongjin could only instruct Yunluo time and time again to repair the cold palace more, to send ice cubes in summer and charcoal fire in winter, food and clothing are indispensable, and the cost is no different from that of the empress.Fearing that Lu Xuechao would be bored, he even sent a pile of precious books, almost turning Lenggong into a second Palace of Heavy Snow.
So much so that Yingying Yanyan of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard can spend less on food and clothing than a destitute queen from the cold palace.
Some things will not be restricted by the manipulator, this is the experience that Xie Chongjin has slowly explored.His movements are restricted, and the controller does not allow him to go to the cold palace, to go to court, or to take Qingshu out of the cold palace and reset him.However, it is possible for him to improve the living conditions of Qingshu, call the ministers to the study to discuss matters, and move the memorials to the bedroom for review.If it wasn't for such hard support, Chang Li would have perished long ago.
Yun Luo really couldn't help asking: "Since Your Majesty can't let go of that person, why don't you take him out of the cold palace?"
Xie Chongjin really wanted to push the boat along the way: "Then do it this way."
However, this touched the prohibition again, and he couldn't speak.
His thoughts have never mattered to the manipulator.He was teased and applauded by others, and he also thought about whether he was accidentally tricked by a foreign country and became a plaything.His teaming up with Qingshu is the greatest threat to the foreign country, that's why the other party resorted to such despicable means...
He vowed to find out the people behind the scenes and tear them into pieces.However, he secretly ordered Yunluo to investigate for a long time, but found nothing, and it is still unknown who controlled it.
There are more and more concubines in the palace, and this year another batch was selected to enter the palace.The more lively it was, the more deserted Xie Chongjin felt.
For the past three years, he has been under the control of others, lingering in the flowers, calling people to sleep all day long, but actually fighting against that evil fire every night, he has not had a peaceful sleep for a long time, and he has been depressed for a long time, and he has to support the crumbling Changli Kingdom , the complexion is getting worse and worse visible to the naked eye.
Live like a walking dead.
It doesn't depend on his will to turn whose cards he wants, he has always had only one wish, named Lu Xuechao.
Looking at the green card in front of him, Xie Chongjin had no intention of flopping.But he knew that after that, his body would automatically raise his hand to make a choice, and Xie Chongjin didn't care at all as to who would turn over.
But this time, the body didn't choose automatically.
Xie Chongjin's brows showed a mocking look. The sensual manipulator finally got tired and chose to sleep alone for the first time?
"I will deal with government affairs tonight." Xie Chongjin said flatly.
Yunluo said, "No."
Xie Chongjin looked at the memorial and suddenly covered his mouth and coughed heavily.
"Your Majesty, do you want to teach the Imperial Physician?" Yun Luo asked immediately.
"No need." Xie Chongjin closed his eyes, "Zuo is just frustrated and angry. You step back."
For a day without breaking away from the black hands behind the scenes and meeting Lu Xuechao, his heart disease would not heal for a day.
Yun Luo could only say: "No."
In the Zichen Palace, only Xie Chongjin was left.He picked up a memorial at random, thinking of Lu Xuechao, he couldn't read a single word of it.
After a moment of absence, his eyes drooped, and his vision suddenly froze.
I saw that what was written in this memorial was neither any major family and country affairs, nor the remonstrances that criticized him for being stupid that he was used to.
It's some weird words.
Happy to meet.
Games Forum.
Lu Xuechao personally changed Xie Chongjin's court clothes, straightened his clothes, straightened the twelve-pronged crown on his head that symbolized the emperor, raised his eyes and inadvertently looked at him.
Away from twelve jewels and dressed in crown clothes, the shadows of childhood bamboo horses, teenage confidantes, and pillow lovers suddenly become distant and strange, and become the majestic and dignified emperor in front of him.
Lu Xuechao was slightly stunned, and an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly arose in her heart.
However, when Xie Chongjin lowered his eyes to meet his gaze, his eyes were full of soft light, with a smile in his eyes, the familiar expression overlapped with the old figure, it seemed that nothing had changed.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.
"Your Majesty is enthroned today." Lu Xuechao suppressed his emotions and curled his lips to wish, "I wish my emperor long live, eternal happiness, eternal prosperity of our country, and well-being of all people."
Xie Chongjin grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Only by the queen's side, together for the country and the people, can I be happy forever."
The enthronement ceremony was cumbersome and lengthy, and it had to be held together with the post-sealing ceremony. The ceremony was grand and time-consuming.Preparations began at Yinshi when it was not dawn, until the sun shone fiercely, and the ritual officer was still reciting the congratulatory speech of the new emperor's enthronement.

Lu Xuechao had never been wronged like this in his life.He entered the cold palace, but he remained calm.He was very puzzled by Xie Chongjin's behavior, but he didn't think he would stay here for a long time.
Ten years of love... How can there be a fake.If it was fake, how could he not be able to tell the difference.
Xie Chongjin hurried over.He had ten thousand words to explain to Lu Xuechao, he wanted to say that he couldn't help himself, he wanted to apologize that he was sorry for scaring him, he wanted to hug him and kiss him to comfort him.
...want to love him well.
The fact is that his body didn't move at all, he looked down at Lu Xuechao condescendingly, and the words he said became emotionless——
"Give him death."
Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao froze at the same time.
Lu Xue raised her head and asked softly, "Your Majesty is really... so heartless?"
Xie Chongjin couldn't tell what kind of sadness and powerlessness it was.He suddenly understood that the person behind the scenes came to the Leng Palace to kill Lu Xuechao.
He almost wanted to turn around and run away, but his footsteps were nailed in place and he couldn't move an inch.
Yun Luo also never thought that His Majesty would be so cruel, that the person next to her pillow would be destroyed if she wanted to, and would be killed if she wanted to.
But Lu Xuechao was already a commoner, and it was easy for the emperor to kill a commoner.
The palace people quickly prepared poisoned wine, daggers, and three-foot white silk, and asked Xie Chongjin to decide which one to use.
Xie Chongjin doesn't want to use anything, he just wants his care and safety.He looked at the three deadly instruments, his eyes almost showing fear.
He saw himself raise his hand.
How will the person behind the scenes choose?
By his hand, ask him to kill the person he loves the most.
How could there be such a cruel thing in the world.
Please, don't choose.
Qingshu is the person I want to be good to him for the rest of my life.
You can't kill him.
The young prince is arrogant by nature. On the day when he became the emperor of Changli, he should have been the most proud and arrogant.But within a day, his dignity was swept away, his arrogance was broken, and he begged humbly to the manipulator he hated to the bone.
Beg him to show mercy.
Not knowing if his prayer had worked, he suddenly heard himself say: "Forget it, spare his life for now."
Xie Chongjin came out of the cold palace, and seeing the bright and warm sun in the sky, he suddenly shivered, with a chill in his bones.
He breathed a sigh of relief with a half-crying smile, as if he was the one who had just escaped death.
... What happened today is too absurd.
The absurdity is much more than that.
Those big invisible hands did not withdraw just then, he was forced to do more absurd things like a puppet manipulated by strings.Xie Chongjin watched coldly as he recruited male favourites, drafted a lot of talent, lingered in the harem day and night, and gradually abandoned the government.Gradually degenerated from a sage and wise king to a senseless and foolish king. He was pointed out by his officials and reviled by all the people.
He also went from anger, resentment, despair, to indifference and numbness.
There are no castrated eunuchs in Changli Kingdom, and the palace servants who enter the palace will take a temporary medicine, and when they are released from the palace when they are old, or they are taken into the harem by the emperor, they will be released. medicine.All the male pets arranged in the palace come from this way.
There are many beautiful palace people, Xie Chongjin has never thought of touching them, even if he took a second look, he felt that it was a betrayal of Lu Xuechao, but the manipulators accepted him unceremoniously.
He was treated as a plaything, humiliated and teased wantonly, and he was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
The only good news is that the manipulator can't manipulate his body to truly favor others.Every time after the flop, Xie Chongjin was in the same room with the bed attendant, and he felt hot and unbearable, with evil fire in his stomach, wanting to have sex like traditional Chinese medicine, but he couldn't even step out of the bedroom.But this impulse is not unbearable, every day and every night, Xie Chongjin sleeps on the bed, and the bed attendant sleeps on the couch, and nothing happens all the time.
Although it was extremely uncomfortable, Xie Chongjin was unwilling to touch anyone other than Lu Xuechao.Next to the emperor's couch, only Lu Xuechao was always sleeping soundly.
Although in the eyes of Qingshu and outsiders, he has long been a heartless person.Xie Chongjin thought to himself mockingly.
These days of drunkenness and dreams have passed in three years.
The bright and bright young man who was frivolous, proud and invincible at the beginning has finally become depressed, full of resentment and hostility.
In the past three years, Xie Chongjin wanted to visit Lu Xuechao in Lenggong countless times, and missed him like crazy, but the manipulator seemed to have forgotten Lu Xuechao, and never went to Lenggong once.
Xie Chongjin wanted to see Lu Xuechao, but was also afraid of seeing Lu Xuechao.
Afraid of seeing Lu Xuechao's hateful eyes, he dared not face it.
He was afraid that the manipulator would go to the cold palace on a whim and kill Lu Xuechao, then he would rather not meet each other.
Xie Chongjin could only instruct Yunluo time and time again to repair the cold palace more, to send ice cubes in summer and charcoal fire in winter, food and clothing are indispensable, and the cost is no different from that of the empress.Fearing that Lu Xuechao would be bored, he even sent a pile of precious books, almost turning Lenggong into a second Palace of Heavy Snow.
So much so that Yingying Yanyan of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard can spend less on food and clothing than a destitute queen from the cold palace.
Some things will not be restricted by the manipulator, this is the experience that Xie Chongjin has slowly explored.His movements are restricted, and the controller does not allow him to go to the cold palace, to go to court, or to take Qingshu out of the cold palace and reset him.However, it is possible for him to improve the living conditions of Qingshu, call the ministers to the study to discuss matters, and move the memorials to the bedroom for review.If it wasn't for such hard support, Chang Li would have perished long ago.
Yun Luo really couldn't help asking: "Since Your Majesty can't let go of that person, why don't you take him out of the cold palace?"
Xie Chongjin really wanted to push the boat along the way: "Then do it this way."
However, this touched the prohibition again, and he couldn't speak.
His thoughts have never mattered to the manipulator.He was teased and applauded by others, and he also thought about whether he was accidentally tricked by a foreign country and became a plaything.His teaming up with Qingshu is the greatest threat to the foreign country, that's why the other party resorted to such despicable means...
He vowed to find out the people behind the scenes and tear them into pieces.However, he secretly ordered Yunluo to investigate for a long time, but found nothing, and it is still unknown who controlled it.
There are more and more concubines in the palace, and this year another batch was selected to enter the palace.The more lively it was, the more deserted Xie Chongjin felt.
For the past three years, he has been under the control of others, lingering in the flowers, calling people to sleep all day long, but actually fighting against that evil fire every night, he has not had a peaceful sleep for a long time, and he has been depressed for a long time, and he has to support the crumbling Changli Kingdom , the complexion is getting worse and worse visible to the naked eye.
Live like a walking dead.
It doesn't depend on his will to turn whose cards he wants, he has always had only one wish, named Lu Xuechao.
Looking at the green card in front of him, Xie Chongjin had no intention of flopping.But he knew that after that, his body would automatically raise his hand to make a choice, and Xie Chongjin didn't care at all as to who would turn over.
But this time, the body didn't choose automatically.
Xie Chongjin's brows showed a mocking look. The sensual manipulator finally got tired and chose to sleep alone for the first time?
"I will deal with government affairs tonight." Xie Chongjin said flatly.
Yunluo said, "No."
Xie Chongjin looked at the memorial and suddenly covered his mouth and coughed heavily.
"Your Majesty, do you want to teach the Imperial Physician?" Yun Luo asked immediately.
"No need." Xie Chongjin closed his eyes, "Zuo is just frustrated and angry. You step back."
For a day without breaking away from the black hands behind the scenes and meeting Lu Xuechao, his heart disease would not heal for a day.
Yun Luo could only say: "No."
In the Zichen Palace, only Xie Chongjin was left.He picked up a memorial at random, thinking of Lu Xuechao, he couldn't read a single word of it.
After a moment of absence, his eyes drooped, and his vision suddenly froze.
I saw that what was written in this memorial was neither any major family and country affairs, nor the remonstrances that criticized him for being stupid that he was used to.
It's some weird words.
Happy to meet.
