I don't want to be born again

Pointing to Xie Lang, he said: "Young Master Qing is not feeling well, he passed out."

Xu Zhiheng was taken aback, and hurried over, took a look at Xie Lang's expression, grabbed his wrist again, and carefully checked his pulse with deep eyes.

In the end, Xu Zhiheng put down Xie Lang's hand, turned to Chu Qing and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Qing is rushing to attack his heart, causing his true energy to flow backwards, and he has the tendency to go mad. I will give Qing Shaojun the needle now, Your Majesty, please wait a moment." .”

"quick!"

Chu Qing stepped aside, stared at Xu Zhiheng and gave Xie Lang the needle.

Xu Zhiheng knew where Xie Lang was in Chu Qing's heart. Last time he was burned, he was forced by the emperor to run away from Zhenwan Pavilion for several days, just to avoid leaving marks on Xie Lang's body.

Thinking about the current emperor, why has he ever cared so much about the girls in the harem?I heard that Concubine Jin's face was also burnt, because the emperor ignored her, it was difficult to find an imperial doctor to take a look at her.

Xu Zhiheng didn't feel guilty about his behavior of avoiding Concubine Jin, the water in the harem was much deeper than before, once it got on his body, it would be difficult to get rid of it.

But now it seems that he was bound to Qing Shaojun by the emperor?

Xu Zhiheng secretly sighed, this young gentleman can suffer from such internal injuries, it is estimated that his internal strength is not weak, but in this deep palace, how did he suffer from injuries?

More importantly, what kind of heart is there for Beiguo to send such a person to the emperor's side?

The more Xu Zhiheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, he didn't dare to think about it any further, he only cared about waking Xie Lang up.

Holding his breath and holding his breath, Xu Zhiheng focused on nothing else, and steadily and continuously stitched several stitches in his hand.

Xie Lang's originally pale face gradually turned red, and with a soft moan in his throat, he slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't move, Young Master, Rong Chen will give you a few more injections to help you open up your meridians."

Xie Lang looked at the golden needle on his body in surprise, and confirmed that he was the one who rescued him, but how could Xu Zhiheng be there?What happened to me just now?

Just now?Chu Qing, the imperial concubine, and that jade ingot...

Xie Lang's thoughts were confused, he raised his eyes inadvertently, and met Chu Qing's eyes.Chu Qing's eyes are very complicated, worried, doubtful, guilty, confused, and there seems to be a trace of happiness.

Xie Lang only glanced at him, and was dizzy for a while by the rich and complex emotions in those eyes. He felt the blood in his chest surging, and the true energy began to rush in his body again. He raised his hand to press on his chest, and let out a muffled groan , Tilting his head, a mouthful of blood spewed out again.

"Young Master, don't think about it!" Xu Zhiheng shouted loudly, "Are you trying to get mad!"

138. This terrible New Year's Eve

Xie Lang was taken aback by Xu Zhiheng's burst of shouting, and subconsciously looked up at him, but saw Xu Zhiheng suddenly stretched out his hand, fingers of both hands together, with seven golden needles sandwiched between the fingers.

Xie Lang's eyes widened, could it be the "Seven Star Penetration Point" that has been lost for a long time in the Jianghu?How could Xu Zhiheng...

No, he must not let him use the method of Qixing penetrating the acupoints for himself!

Xie Lang gritted his teeth and twisted his body to get up.

Xu Zhiheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, if you don't want to lie on the bed from now on, please hold your breath and put away your wild thoughts!"

Xie Lang was startled, but still quickly raised his arm to block Xu Zhiheng's hand, and said displeasedly: "What will happen to me from now on, I don't need Imperial Physician Xu to worry about it!"

Xu Zhiheng frowned, but he was just an elderly doctor, even if Xie Lang was injured at this time, he was not Xie Lang's opponent.

The moment the two confronted each other, Chu Qing leaned over and lightly placed one hand on Xie Lang's shoulder: "Ah Lang, what are you afraid of?"

Xie Lang was startled, and subconsciously retorted: "No, I have nothing to be afraid of."

A light flashed in Xu Zhiheng's eyes, and while he was speaking in a daze, the strength in his hand gradually loosened, he quickly reached out, and patted him twice, and with some unknown technique, all the seven golden needles fell into Xie Lang's body.

Xie Lang was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed fiercely, he has lived two lifetimes, how has he ever been attacked by someone like this, and he is still a powerless imperial physician!

For a moment, a wave of hostility rushed into his mind, and Xie Lang struck like lightning, grabbing Xu Zhiheng's neck: "Old man, you are so courageous!"

"A-Lang, what are you doing? Let go!"

Seeing that Xu Zhiheng's neck was almost cut off by him, Chu Qing shouted anxiously to pull him, but Xie Lang swung out the other hand suddenly, Chu Qing only felt his body lighten, and his whole body straightened backwards. flew out.

Chu Qing lifted his feet off the ground and stared at Xie Lang on the bed in disbelief. His bloodshot eyes seemed to be crazy. What happened to this man?

The inner room of the imperial study room was originally prepared for the emperor to take a temporary rest when he was tired from work, so the place is not spacious.

Chu Qing thought that he was going to hit the wall, and then bounced back, just like what was written in the storybook, he was beaten by a master, and he wanted to bounce back and forth.

Xie Lang is a master, Chu Qing firmly believes it, he knew that he was going to be in trouble when he got that blow, a good New Year's Eve, how miserable it is!

But he couldn't get angry yet, because the one who committed the crime was himself!

Chu Qing closed his eyes, imagining that he was about to fall to the ground and vomit blood, and then he was probably seriously injured and died?

Come on, this life actually solved it ahead of time!

So unwilling!Chu Qing wanted to cry...

However, after a long time, he seemed to be still flying.Chu Qing felt a little strange, could it be that he was already dead and turned into a soul?

He remembered the feeling of being a ghost, as if his feet didn't touch the ground, and he was floating every day.

Then he is now?Oh my goodness!How many days has he been reborn?The year hasn't passed yet, and he's dead again?

The point is, how come the one who stepped on the horse was killed by Xie Lang again!

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Long Shiyi's voice rang in his ears, Chu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and he was being hugged by Long Shiyi in an extremely ambiguous posture.

Chu Qing moved her feet, and she was indeed suspended in the air. She poked Long Shiyi, and it was alive. She pinched her own face, Emma, ​​it hurts!

Long Shiyi's head is full of black lines, what is the emperor doing?This posture is uncomfortable!Bite the bullet and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are fine, your subordinates have caught you. You should go and see Qing Shaojun."

Chu Qing turned her head when she heard the sound, but was startled again by Xie Lang's appearance, and subconsciously hugged Long Shiyi's neck tightly with one hand.

Long Shiyi bared his teeth and grinned: "Your Majesty, come down, and I will help Xiao Dong."

"Oh, go and go." Chu Qing hurriedly jumped out of Long Shiyi's arms.

In fact, when Xie Lang slammed Xu Zhiheng's neck, Long Yingwei had noticed it, especially Long Shiyi. He had known the sign of Xie Lang's true energy going backwards and going crazy, and he had been worried about Chu Qing's safety, so he hid in the The darkness did not go far.

It happened that Chu Qing was swung away by Xie Lang, and he immediately caught him.But Xie Lang's attack was extremely powerful, and it took a lot of effort for Long Shiyi to dissipate that force when he caught Chu Qing.

But in such a short time, another Dragon Shadow Guard, Xiao Dong, had already rescued Xu Zhiheng.However, Xie Lang didn't know what was wrong, but he started fighting with Xiao Dong.

Long Shiyi saw that Xiao Dong was not Xie Lang's opponent at all, so he blew a short whistle. Although there was no sound, there were three more Dragon Shadow Guards in the room instantly.

Seeing that Xie Lang's eyes were red, no one recognized him, the four of them rushed forward, together with Long Shiyi and Xiao Dong, and surrounded Xie Lang.

In the narrow room, five people surrounded one person, and there were Chu Qing and Xu Zhiheng beside them, and the space suddenly seemed cramped.

Xie Lang's face was cold, his eyes looked like a hungry ghost crawling out of hell, he glanced at everyone, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Whoever stands in my way dies!"

Xu Zhiheng clutched his neck and shouted: "It's bad! It's Fangfei in the future! Oh, it's bad!"

Chu Qing picked up Xu Zhiheng: "What are you talking about, what's wrong!"

Xu Zhiheng wept with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Qing Shaojun is poisoned! In the future, Fangfei will be poisoned, so I can't, I can't use the method of penetrating the acupoints! Your Majesty, I really don't know!"

Chu Qing frowned, and shouted: "What the hell! What should we do now?"

Xu Zhiheng spread his hands: "I don't know! Here, I have to take out those golden needles!"

"Stop him!" Chu Qing threw away Xu Zhiheng and shouted at the shadow guard, "Take out the golden needle!"

The door of the inner room was pushed open, Shu Yi stood at the door dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to reflect: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Escort, Escort... ouch!"

Chu Qing put his foot on the tree's leg, and said angrily: "Get out, pass on my order, no one is allowed to come near here, and those who violate it will be executed!"

"Hey, yes, oh, obey the order!" Shu Yi sat on the ground, agreed repeatedly and ran out rolling and crawling.

Chu Qing turned his head and saw that Xie Lang had already been kneeled on the ground by three Dragon Shadow Guards. They were pressing his arms respectively, and one was lying on the ground hugging his waist.

Of the other two, one fell to the ground and did not know what to do, and the other was Long Shiyi, who was standing with his hands on his chest against the wall, as if he had been injured.

"Quick, get the golden needle out of his body!" Chu Qing yelled, and dragged Xu Zhiheng up from the ground again, "Xu Zhiheng, where did you poke the needle? Tell me quickly!"

Long Shiyi waved his hands at Chu Qing: "Your Majesty, don't worry, come down."

After all, Long Shiyi came in front of Xie Lang, and said to Xiao Dong who was kneeling on the ground and hugging Xie Lang's waist: "Get out of the way."

Xiao Dong got up quickly, Xie Lang lightened up, and immediately struggled to stand up, the other two immediately pushed him down again.

Long Shiyi stretched out his hand and patted his chest ten times in a row, then pinched Xie Lang's chin with one hand, raised his head to the highest point, and slashed across his left neck with the other hand.

Xie Lang let out a miserable snort, his body went limp, Long Shiyi took the opportunity to slap his ribs, and then he used his lightness kung fu to fly back.

A golden light flashed, and seven golden needles shot out from all parts of Xie Lang's body, and were nailed straight into the wall.

At the same time, Xie Lang rolled his eyes and fell unconscious again.

Chu Qing rushed over sullenly, picked up Xie Lang, looked at his peaceful sleeping face, and sighed, what a horrible New Year's Eve!

139. Heart-piercing Pain

With Xie Lang making such a fuss, he naturally couldn't participate in the evening banquet.

But Chu Qing had to go, this was an important arrangement of the year next only to offering sacrifices to heaven on the morning of the first day of the new year. The number of royal family members, aristocrats, and important officials of the court came only more than Xiaoyao, but definitely not less.As the emperor, Chu Qing had to at least show his face.

But it doesn't make sense for Xie Lang not to show up, after all, everyone in the palace knows that he comes to the Imperial Study during the day, if he doesn't see people at night without any reason, then the impact really shouldn't be too bad.

So the whole afternoon, Chu Qing was a little anxious, how to tell others that Xie Lang was unwell and unable to attend, this really tested his wisdom as an emperor.

In fact, if Xie Lang hadn't met King Rong in the morning, then Chu Qing could brazenly make up an excuse, but King Rong is too scheming, and Chu Qing was faintly worried that if he made up an excuse, King Rong would not Instead, he became suspicious, and even went to the palace to check on Xie Lang.

But Xie Lang was supposed to be with King Rong in the first place, Chu Qing thought for a while, thinking about the previous life when King Rong successfully rebelled, how did Xie Lang get along with King Rong?

Looks like Concubine Jin?

Chu Qing shook his head, his mind was in a mess, it's better not to think about it.

Looking down at Xie Lang who was still unconscious, Chu Qing sighed, what should I do?

When did Xie Lang get poisoned, why didn't he know?

Seeing how he resisted Xu Zhiheng's acupuncture, Chu Qing concluded that he knew that he was poisoned, and also knew that he could not be healed by the method of penetrating the acupoints with golden needles.

So who poisoned him, and why didn't he tell himself?

After much deliberation, but still had no clue, Chu Qing realized that for the first time since his rebirth, things were out of his control, and this loss of control actually happened to Xie Lang.

This cognition made Chu Qing extremely tired. He held Xie Lang's hand and sat on the head of the bed, asking himself repeatedly in his heart if he did something wrong.

Long Shiyi is the leader of the "odd guards" in the Dragon Shadow Guards. This part of the Dragon Shadow Guards is different from the others, and is responsible for a variety of highly skilled tasks, such as transcribing letters from Duan Zhanpeng's family, which can be faked to the point of authenticity. .

Another example is Long Shiyi himself, who can imitate anyone's voice, and even use ventriloquism to create the effect of several people talking and arguing at the same time. No one will be able to hear the flaws unless they see it for themselves.

Today, Chu Qing asked Long Shiyi to imitate the conversation between himself and the noble concubine, as well as the various voices in the bed. In fact, the purpose was very simple. He wanted to prove to Xie Lang that he didn't want him, and he didn't dig his heart out for him. .

But now that I think about it, this is complete ignorance!

Chu Qing raised his hand and slapped himself, it hurts!

Sighed, it hurts, so it's not a dream.If you do something wrong, you have to swallow the bitter fruit.

If you want to pretend to be a ruthless emperor in front of Xie Lang, you will suffer yourself to death.

If you want to push him away, you just watch him get farther and farther away from you until he runs counter to you.

What you want can always come true, Chu Qing thought sadly, except for a thorough Xie Lang, I can get everything, reborn in the third life, such Xie Lang only exists in dreams.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late." Shu Yi pushed the door open and came in, handing over ginseng soup, "You haven't eaten all day, drink some ginseng soup to replenish your energy, the palace banquet will be better later. "

Chu Qing nodded, took the ginseng soup and drank it down, and said: "Bring some snacks, I will eat some first, and I will drink later."

Shu Yi showed joy, the emperor at least knew how to cherish himself, and that was enough.He quickly agreed and went out to get ready, forgetting to even pass Chu Qing a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Chu Qing shook his head and laughed, if he had been in the previous two lives, how could he go to the palace banquet under such circumstances!

Although he is not hungry at all, he knows that he has to eat, his body is not his own, but the whole Great Xia Kingdom, he must not fall down.

No matter who did Xie Lang's poisoning for what purpose, he only needs to know that the fundamental purpose of those people is to attack him and Xia Guo.

Because whether it is him or Daxia, this time, it is not so easy to be defeated.

It doesn't matter whether those people use Xie Lang as a tool or as a pawn, it's all the same to him, he won't give anyone a chance.

Chu Qing stared at Xie Lang's face, that face was peaceful and beautiful when he was asleep, like a pool of crystal clear spring water, warm and comfortable, refreshing.

With determination in Chu Qing's eyes, he took a deep breath and stood up. Now that he has made a decision, he should make preparations in advance. Today is New Year's Eve, and the prince will also go to the palace banquet. He hasn't seen Rui'er for a long time.

Thinking about the next arrangement, Chu Qing calmed down a little, and was about to step out when she heard a thin whisper from the bed.

"pour……"

Xie Lang seemed to be having a nightmare, frowning and rubbing against his body uneasily, opening and closing his lips, but he couldn't hear any more sound.

It has been said that Lang's heart is like iron, but why does this heart that he thinks has been wrapped in iron and stone still hurt?The pain was like, like the sharp knife that Xie Lang stabbed into his chest before his death in the previous life.

Stretching out his hand to paint his eyebrows and eyes carefully, this look has long been deeply engraved in his heart, three lives and three lives, Chu Qing thought, he will never forget it in every life.

Chu Qing raised his hand to press on his chest, and suddenly laughed, it turned out that this was the legendary, heart-piercing pain.

"Dragon Shadow Guard."

As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, Long Shiyi appeared again: "Your Majesty."

"Eleven, how is your injury?"

"If you dodge, the subordinate is only slightly injured, and you will be fine after two days of breath adjustment."

"So your kung fu is much better than Long Shisan?" Chu Qing was a little surprised. Last time Long Shisan was kicked out of the Dragon Shadow Guard by Xie Lang, but this time Long Shisan retreated completely. .

"Your Majesty, today, the Young Master is delirious, and the true energy in his body is slack. His attack strength is less than usual, and his subordinates rushed forward regardless of the consequences. Naturally, the subordinates will not suffer a big loss." Long Shiyi explained. , "But the person Thirteen faced that day was not injured, and he shot fiercely and mercilessly, which is completely incomparable to Qing Shaojun."

Long Shishi didn't know that Xie Lang was the Thousand Hands Locking Soul, and he didn't even know that it was the Thousand Hands Locking Soul who injured Long Shisan, so he only explained it like that when Chu Qing didn't know kung fu.

In fact, Chu Qing already knew that he had made a slip of the tongue after he said that. Only he knew that Xie Lang was a soul locker with thousands of hands. In this way, wouldn't it be tantamount to exposing Xie Lang.Then he worked so hard to hide it for Xie Lang before, and even pushed Long Shisan out of the Dragon Shadow Guard, wouldn't it be a waste of effort.

Fortunately, Long Shiyi didn't understand the deep meaning of his words. After saying this, Chu Qing simply nodded and followed him and said, "Young Master Qing is not as good as that person?"

140. Love or not love is doomed

Long Shiyi nodded: "It's just the luck of the subordinates, Xiao Dong has woken up just now, and none of their injuries are serious."

Chu Qing nodded: "Okay, you can find someone to check for me, Fangfei will come."

Long Shiyi said, "Your Majesty, this poisonous subordinate knows."

"Oh?" Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, but he had forgotten that Long Shiyi and his team were dedicated to researching these things, "Let's hear it."

"Fangfei in the future is a kind of poison extracted from the poisonous Gu in Miaojiang. It is not a Gu but has the properties of a Gu. It cannot be detected from the blood with a silver needle. If it is not poisonous, it will not spread to all parts of the body."

Chu Qing lived for three lifetimes, as if he was listening to heavenly scriptures, he couldn't help asking: "Then is this still called poisoning?"

Long Shiyi said: "Your Majesty, the meaning of Fangfei in the future is actually that if the poisoned person does not take the antidote or the medicine to suppress the poison within a year, the poison will definitely occur in the next spring."

"Oh, there is an incubation period." Chu Qing frowned again, "It's not long before the poison occurs in spring."

Long Shixi nodded but said: "But it doesn't mean that people are completely fine during the incubation period. This poison has a peculiar property, and it only lurks in the acupuncture points of the human body, so it is most taboo to seal the acupuncture points after being poisoned. It was used by the imperial physician just now. It is taboo to penetrate the acupoints with golden needles.

"In addition, although the poisoned person appears to be normal, in fact, the poison will affect people's xinxing. Generally, the poisoned person will think that he is conscious, but in fact his temperament has already changed drastically.

"You also saw the appearance of Qing Shaojun when he was poisoned just now. If there is no antidote next spring, I'm afraid..."

Long Shiyi finished speaking in one breath, but paused here, and then added, "However, my subordinates have only heard about it, and have never seen it."

Chu Qing felt a little dizzy, what should he do if the amount of information was too much for him to handle?

Holding the bed frame and taking a few deep breaths, Chu Qing stroked his train of thought, found some doubts, turned his head and asked, "You said this poison was used by Miaojiang people?"

Long Shiyi shook his head: "Although this poison is extracted from the Miaojiang Poison Gu, the people who use it the most now are the people of the North Kingdom, um, the nobles of the North Kingdom."

Chu Qing frowned: "What are you talking about? Talk!"

Long Shiyi's eyes quickly passed over the comatose Xie Lang on the bed, took a deep breath, and lowered his head, said: "I heard that the northern nobles often use this poison to feed their slaves. Firstly, it makes them lose their nature and is easy to control; Secondly, um, the slaves can only use it in a few days..."

"The subordinates know that they will throw crazy slaves into the arena and watch them fight with wild beasts for fun. Crazy people have no fear. Therefore, this poison has another name, called... um, Xishi. "

Cherish the time!Cherish the time, cherish the time when you are not crazy, cherish the time when you are still a normal person!

Chu Qing clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and finally couldn't suppress the anger rushing in his heart anymore, he raised his hand and punched the bed frame.

The fine huanghuali wood was extremely hard, but Chu Qing didn't feel any pain, just a little blood dripped from between his hanging fingers, and fell on his dragon robe, like blossoming red plums.

Long Shiyi turned pale with shock, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, calm down, although this poison is vicious, it is not unsolvable. Don't get angry!"

"Tell me, how to detoxify?" There was hope in Chu Qing's eyes, "Will there be an antidote in Miaojiang? Or, in Beihui?"

Long Shiyi hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully: "Your Majesty, judging from Qing Shaojun's reaction just now, and his appearance when he was poisoned, I speculate that he must have taken the poison in the early years. It should be no less than ten years since drugs suppressed poisonous hair."

Chu Qing was inexplicable: "So?"

"Your Majesty, what this subordinate means is that when Young Master wakes up later, he should have a way, at least he should have a way to suppress toxicity. Others, it won't be too late to prepare slowly."

It was only then that Chu Qing came to a sudden, and secretly scolded himself that he was concerned and would be confused. Just now, he could see that Xie Lang must know that he was poisoned, but he didn't think about it deeply. Since he knew that he was poisoned, he must have a way to deal with it.

Chu Qing smiled wryly in her heart, did she really have trouble getting over the hurdle of Xie Lang?

"I know, you just have to investigate, and find out all the causes and consequences of this incident. I don't want to speculate, I want real evidence."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order!"

Long Shiyi quickly saluted, and disappeared in a flash.

Chu Qing still stood there without moving. Unfortunately, he had heard of this name before. In his previous life, he was resold by others, and he could see other slaves being fed this medicine every time. Abolished, the slave trader let him go instead.

He was still surprised at the time, but only after listening to Long Shiyi's words did he realize that he didn't need to be controlled, and he couldn't fight wild beasts, so he really didn't have the meaning of "cherishing time".

But Xie Lang, he said that he was sold as a slave into Prince Liang's mansion when he was young, so he must have been given medicine at that time.Long Shiyi said at least ten years, probably more than ten years.

Chu Qing didn't dare to think about what it would be like if Xie Lang was really poisoned and there was no antidote. He had personally seen a crazy slave in his previous life. Crashed people.

Thinking about it now, that person's red eyes are very similar to Xie Lang just now.

Chu Qing suddenly felt a chill all over his body, Yelujin, so is this the real purpose of sending Xie Lang to Splendid City?

Even if he didn't fall in love with Xie Lang in this life, as long as he was in the palace when he was poisoned, he would probably be close to death.

What a vicious heart!

Chu Qing closed his eyes and gave a bleak smile. It turned out that the real conspiracy was this. It turned out that no matter whether he loved Xie Lang or not, Xie Lang was a doom that Chu Qing could not escape!

141. New Year's Eve Reunion Dinner

Chu Qing's hands were wrapped in gauze. Standing in the main hall at this moment, he deliberately lowered his hands, and covered the injured back of his hands with the wide sleeves of his robe.

Tonight on New Year's Eve, the palace banquet is centered on reunion and welcoming the new year. There are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the palace, and everyone is beaming, except Chu Qing.

As he walked along, people in twos and threes in the imperial garden saluted and greeted him. He nodded politely and distantly, but he didn't have any intention of stopping at all.

Chu Qing's guard of honor went straight to the Yongfu Hall, and when everyone saw it, they all followed.

There are already many people in Yongfu Hall, drinking tea, drinking and chatting, everyone is dressed new, the hall is full of festiveness and bustle.

Shu Yi walked to the door, flicked his whisk, and said loudly: "The emperor is here."

Everyone knelt down facing Chu Qing and shouted long live.

Chu Qing lowered his eyebrows and walked towards the main seat.

After sitting down, Chu Qing raised his hand, and Shu Yi yelled again: "Pingshen!"

The seating arrangements for the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve are different from those in the past. Because of the meaning of having a reunion dinner, tonight’s seating is arranged according to each family’s arrangement instead of separate male and female guests. There are dozens of tables.Those who couldn't sit still went to the side hall.

Great Xia has always been open to people, and the reunion dinner means reunion, and they will not deliberately separate unmarried women, men, etc., so at this moment, it is full of people, and the hall is really a peaceful and grand scene.

Chu Qing glanced at the expectant faces of the crowd with smiles, and his mood improved a little. He turned his head and saw the two tables of concubines in the harem, and turned to beckon the tree to come closer.

"Where's the queen?"

Shu Yi listened, looked around, and said: "The servant will send someone to Kunning Palace to invite the Queen Empress Feng to drive."

Chu Qing gave a "hmm" and said, "Why didn't the prince come?"

Shu Yi was stunned: "Here, this servant sent people to the East Palace according to your instructions early in the morning..."

Chu Qing waved his hand: "If you send someone to invite the queen and prince again, I'll just wait."

The tree responded with a bow, turned around to leave, and suddenly heard a message from outside the hall: "The empress is here! Your highness the prince is here!"

Shu Yi was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Chu Qing, but saw Chu Qing looking out of the hall expressionlessly, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The queen is wearing a formal bright yellow royal court dress today, dignified and grand.

The queen held the prince Chu Rui by her right hand, raised her head high, and with the support of the eunuch, walked into the hall with great momentum.

Everyone stood up again and greeted each other, shouting "a thousand years for the queen, a thousand years for the prince".

Chu Qing stared at the Queen's face slightly, watching her get closer and closer quietly.

After Xiao Dahongche's incident, he never saw the queen again, and he seemed to avoid it deliberately. Chu Qing felt that he didn't know how to face the queen.

The queen is a woman with special meaning to him. She is his first wife and also his first woman. Be left out.

Chu Qing didn't know if he was a scumbag, at least before he met Xie Lang, he always liked new things when it came to women, and he couldn't keep his mind on one person for a long time.

He knew that the queen had deep feelings for him. He used to think that the queen was a dignified and generous person, open-minded and tolerant.

But it wasn't until things happened one by one that he suddenly realized that for women, there was never any generosity to speak of when dividing up men.

The queen's jealousy towards Xie Lang seemed to be deeply rooted in her heart, and it spread to her heart and eyes all at once.

Chu Qing felt inexplicable. According to the ancestral system, unless the current emperor is a female emperor, the highest male concubine can only be a young monarch, that is, a noble concubine.

Nowadays, it is impossible for Xie Lang to become a queen-level maharaja no matter what, why is the queen so afraid of him?

His only legitimate son was born by the empress, and in the future all the world will belong to Rui'er, why is the empress jealous of Xie Lang?

In the previous two lifetimes, the queen's attitude towards Xie Lang was always lukewarm, neither provoking nor getting close to him, allowing him to stir up trouble, fighting back and forth with other concubines in the harem, the queen intervened in the middle, admonishing herself from time to time .

Chu Qing really didn't understand why the empress had changed in this life.

Chu Qing's thoughts drifted away, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the queen and the prince were already saluting him.

"Empress flattened, Rui'er also flattened, and come to Emperor Father." Chu Qing smiled and waved at the prince.

The prince stood up and heard this, but did not move, subconsciously raised his head to look at the queen.

The queen nodded at him, and the prince walked towards Chu Qing cautiously.

Chu Qing took a deep breath, picked up the prince as if nothing had happened, let him sit on his lap, and said with a smile: "Rui'er has grown stronger again, what books have you read recently?"

The prince raised his eyes nervously, but still looked at the queen first, and then met Chu Qing's gaze.

"Returning to the father, my son has recently read the four books with the master."

Chu Qing smiled: "Rui'er is so powerful, she has already read four books in her heart!" As she said, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and put it in the palm of the prince.

"Father chose it for a long time, does Rui'er like it?"

The prince was at a loss holding the jade pendant, but looked at the queen again, and called out, "Mother?"

Chu Qing's complexion finally sank, and he glanced at the queen with displeasure, but suppressed his temper and said softly: "What does Rui Er ask your mother to do?"

The prince was startled, turned pale, shook his head and said, "Father, son, son..."

Chu Qing was furious, but the one in his arms was his own son, who was not yet ten years old, so he still couldn't bear to get angry with him.

Closing his eyes, Chu Qing thought to himself to be disappointed, and let the prince go to find the queen. Then he turned to the tree and said, "Now that we are all here, let's start."

The tree responded and raised his voice to announce the start of the palace banquet.

On New Year's Eve, there was eating and drinking, and there were singing and dancing performances in the palace to add to the fun. Everyone was very relaxed and happy.

The concubines took turns toasting Chu Qing, and Chu Qing drank with them one by one, looking very sexual.The ministers toasted him, and he never refused to come. The monarch and his ministers had fun together, which was very lively.

It's just that Xie Lang never showed up, which made the women in the harem speculate endlessly, but also faintly excited.

Xie Lang went to the imperial study in the morning, but now he didn't show up at the palace banquet, what does that mean?

Of course, it annoyed the emperor, so he didn't dare to come!

Thinking of this possibility, everyone faintly rejoiced and became more courteous to Chu Qing.Even those aristocratic ladies who have been eyeing Chu Qing for a long time are eager to try.

The absence of one Xie Lang by the Emperor's side today almost means that they will have countless more opportunities in the future!

The eyes of every woman staring at Chu Qing were shining, but he didn't seem to notice it, no one came to toast, he didn't talk to anyone, he just ate by himself.

During the reunion dinner, Chu Qing picked up a chopstick and ate fish meat into his mouth, his eyes were a little dim, A-Lang is not here, can we call reunion?

142、I see my old friend again

Chu Qing didn't realize that he was being treated as a prey at all, and drank wine and ate food slowly. He was actually not hungry at all, but he still forced himself to eat.

Maybe if you eat too much and get drunk, you can stop your mind for a while, don't think about anything, just be a quiet emperor quietly.

The imperial concubine peeled a plate of shrimps for him and brought them to him, she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the shrimps you love are most delicious when dipped in salt and pepper. Don't drink all the time, and eat more."

Chu Qing raised his head, the imperial concubine's eyes were full of affection like autumn water, and her face was full of indescribable joy.Involuntarily, his heart moved, and he pulled him to his side and sat down.

"Imperial Concubine, Rongrong." Chu Qing rested his head on the shoulder of the imperial concubine, and a burst of gardenia fragrance came over his face, and he couldn't help smiling, "Rongrong still likes the fragrance of gardenia."

The imperial concubine took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of Chu Qing's lips, and said in a long and eloquent tone, "Your Majesty, you forgot that the first time this concubine saw you, you were standing under a gardenia tree in the General's Mansion. Concubine I will never forget that spring, the trees were full of flowers, the yard was full of fragrance, and there was a handsome and suave young man under the tree."

Chu Qing was taken aback, the gardenia tree in the General's Mansion?It seemed to be too long a memory. Chu Qing tried his best to search for the memories, but in the end he could only vaguely remember that that year, his crown prince position was in jeopardy. Under Xu Shiqing's guidance, he personally visited Duan Zhanpeng to seek support.

At that time, it seemed to be a spring, right?

"Did Rongrong fall in love with me from then on?"

The noble concubine nodded: "Yes, just looking at you, my heart beat so fast that it was about to jump out of my throat. My brother even asked me if I was sick."

"Your brother?" Chu Qing raised his eyelids, "Duan Zheng?"

"En." The noble concubine smiled slightly, pointed to a table of His Highness, and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and he came with my father today."

What!Duan Zheng also entered the palace?

Chu Qing's drunkenness was mostly gone, he sat up straight suddenly, looked down the imperial steps, and sure enough, he saw Duan Zheng's evasive eyes.

Chu Qing pressed on his chest subconsciously, and frowned: "Why didn't your brother say hello to me when he came?"

The noble concubine was stunned, and said with a smile: "Where is it his turn? A young general guarding the border was also recalled by the Ministry of War this time to be reassigned, and he has nothing to do so far. The concubine said, let him go less to your Majesty. Make do with it, so as not to cause people to gossip. With His Majesty around, can you still wrong him?"

Chu Qing was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that you still have the face to say, your brother almost covered me with a green cloud, and I let him roll as far as he can, and don't come back again so that I can see and block my heart, but he is fine, what the hell Come back, dare to come to the palace for dinner?He thought it was Tianbao Building, he could eat and go whenever he wanted!

Although he also read the memorial, how could he have thought that Duan Zheng was so bold!

Chu Qing hooked the corners of his lips, patted the concubine's hand, and said, "Rongrong pour me a glass of wine."

The imperial concubine didn't know why, but she cheerfully poured a full glass of wine, and put her hands in front of Chu Qing: "Your Majesty, please drink less."

Chu Qing smiled, leaned over and kissed her, the noble concubine hurriedly avoided shyly.

How many people saw the interaction between the two of them on the main seat, and they were all aware of the imperial concubine's great favor, and they all talked about how amazing this family is.

But only Duan Zhanpeng knew it well, the emperor just lured him and didn't say anything, he believed himself now, but if he had doubts in the future and the emperor was furious, even if Rongrong didn't know, could he be let go?

Then he glanced at Duan Zheng, who was drinking sullenly beside him, Duan Zhanpeng was so angry!I just don't bother to think about it, what's wrong with my heart, as a father, I am not upright, and it is also retribution to educate a cheating son.

After pouring down a glass of wine, Duan Zhanpeng coughed twice. Duan Zheng turned his head to help him pat his back, but he blocked him and reprimanded in a low voice, "If you've finished eating, go home quickly!"

Duan Zheng's expression darkened, he nodded and said, "My son knows, so I'll go back now."

He got up quietly, but subconsciously raised his head to look at the throne. He entered the palace with a little luck today, but he really didn't even dare to look up at him.But at this moment, he only saw one foot of the throne, so he quickly lowered his head, and continued to retract into the turtle shell to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Duan Zheng stood up, bowed his waist and turned around to get out of the banquet, but suddenly, a bright yellow figure blocked his way.

"Who is this? Raise your head and let me have a look." Holding a glass of wine, Chu Qing said with a half-smile, "You're always stooping when you walk, aren't you in good health?"

Duan Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt down on the ground with both hands and feet: "I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Duan Zhanpeng turned around when he heard the movement, and saw Chu Qing looking down at Duan Zheng, his eyes were full of anger that was about to burst out.

Duan Zhanpeng was taken aback, stood up and knelt down to Chu Qing: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."

Chu Qing stretched out his hand to hold Duan Zhanpeng with a smile, and deliberately raised his voice: "Did the general drink too much? What do you want to explain to me, explain why you drank so much wine today? Let me guess, because the wine in the palace You can't buy it outside."

Everyone around was amused, and they all echoed and made jokes about Duan Zhanpeng, saying that the general's family was very honored and even greedy for the royal wine in the palace.After a while, the joke spread throughout the hall.

The imperial concubine saw the emperor talking to her father and brother from a distance, and she couldn't help but be filled with joy. So far tonight, the only time Chu Qing left the banquet was to greet her father and brother. This is to save face for herself!

His eyes fell on Wen's family's table, his desolate appearance made the imperial concubine want to laugh, so what about the queen, the emperor likes me!hum!

On the contrary, Concubine De poured a glass of wine for the concubine with a smile: "The father and brother of the elder sister of the imperial concubine are highly regarded by the emperor, and the younger sister is also happy for you."

The noble concubine would be happy with whoever said it, happily drank a glass of wine with the concubine De, and looked up again to see Chu Qing and Duan Zheng leaving the palace one after the other.

Feeling a little puzzled, the imperial concubine thought about it, picked up the wine glass and went to Duan
