Zhan Peng there.

143. Is it a good thing to treat guests to dinner?

"Father, my daughter toasts you."

The noble concubine looked at Duan Zhanpeng, feeling in her heart that her father was old, and he was no longer the young and powerful general when she got married.Over fifty years old, the hero is late, but fortunately with the emperor's trust, the Duan family is thriving, the imperial concubine's heart is half sad, half comforted.

"Don't dare, I thank the imperial concubine!"

Duan Zhanpeng returned a toast according to the etiquette, and then said: "Rongrong, how is everything going in the palace?"

The noble concubine smiled sincerely: "Father, don't worry, the emperor took me very well. Even though he is too busy, as you know, a lot of things have happened in the palace recently, and I can't help much."

"You have a good life, and you can rest assured as a father." Duan Zhanpeng nodded, "As for other things, you can do your best, you must not force it, and you need to be generous and considerate, understand?"

The imperial concubine nodded, and asked in a low voice: "Father, where did brother go? He and the emperor,"

Duan Zhanpeng's face darkened: "Don't ask about men's affairs. It is serious to serve His Majesty in the palace. Be obedient and go back quickly!"

The imperial concubine returned to her seat in dismay, seeing that her father's expression was not very good, could it be what the emperor said just now?

If you think about it, you won't, just now everyone laughed happily!

Hey, the imperial concubine poured herself a glass of wine, sipped it slowly and thought about it, it really broke her heart.

In fact, Duan Zhanpeng was also fidgeting. Just now Chu Qing's face was terribly gloomy, and he looked like he was smiling, but his eyes were clearly full of knives. How could he be at ease!

Looking up, there really was no concubine Chen at the concubine's table, Duan Zhanpeng sighed in his heart, this girl Xin'er is really disappointing!I also blamed myself for the fact that Madam left early and wanted her to be Rongrong's company, and let her stay at home, so how could there be such unnecessary disturbances!

"General." A middle-aged man walked up to Duan Zhanpeng, smiling all over his face, "Long time no see, how is cousin?"

Disgust flashed in Duan Zhanpeng's eyes, he got up and raised his glass and said, "Your Majesty Hu, you are welcome. I just heard that you are going back to Beijing a few days ago. I never thought we would meet today."

Hu Yong smiled: "I wrote a letter to my cousin two months ago. I thought my cousin was busy with work, so I didn't get a reply."

Duan Zhanpeng naturally saw the letter, but the ostentatious tone of the letter made him unhappy, thinking that the Hu family is now a relative of the emperor, and he would be called a climber if he got involved with them.Coupled with the trouble caused by that brat Duan Zheng, Duan Zhanpeng was even more unwilling to pay attention to the Hu family's news.At the moment, he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Of course, Hu Yong did not expect Duan Zhanpeng to reply to the letter, and he just mentioned it casually. What he really cared about was actually his own affairs.

"It's just that the concubine Chen has not replied to the official, which made the official and his wife worry."

Duan Zhanpeng understood, and couldn't help humming in his heart, your daughter is about to go to heaven, there is no time to answer your letter!

Hu Yong is a snobbish villain, at the beginning he sent his daughter to the General's Mansion with the intention of climbing the ranks, or marrying Duan Zheng, or being favored by some wealthy and powerful family, so that father and daughter can rise to the top.

It's just that no one thought that Hu Xin'er was attracted by Chu Qing, and before she married into Qian's mansion, the late emperor would die.After Chu Qing ascended to the position logically, not only did he not forget Hu Xin'er, but he also appointed Shuyi as compensation for not marrying her during the previous national funeral. In the following years, he was promoted one after another, and now he is the Concubine Chen.

Although this was favored, a large part of it was due to the blessing of the noble concubine. At that time, Chu Qing doted on the noble concubine very much, and only met Hu Xin'er when he accompanied her back to the house to visit relatives.

If it weren't for Duan Zhanpeng's constant standing in the court, and Duan Zheng also seemed to be very upright, Hu Yong's family would probably have kicked their Duan family aside long ago.

It's just that Concubine Chen didn't come out for such a big banquet in the palace today, which surprised the Hu family throughout the meal.

Several people at the banquet urged Hu Yong to inquire about it. Hu Yong actually disliked Duan Zhanpeng's hypocrisy. If it wasn't for the fact that his daughter had to rely on their noble concubine to gain a foothold in the harem, he would have looked down on the Duan family.

However, he pestered Duan Zhanpeng to drink several glasses of wine, but he didn't get any words out. In the end, it was Duan Zhanpeng's excuse that he couldn't drink enough, and he left the table early to end this very unpleasant conversation for both of them.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, the sons and daughters of the General's Mansion are very promising. Although they are distant cousins ​​with the Hu family, Concubine Chen has also been on the rise in the palace. Although she has been in poor health recently, the emperor is nostalgic. The favor of the Hu family is also quite a lot.

Now that the Duan and Hu families are getting closer, in the eyes of others, it has a different meaning.

Of course, this kind of meaning, not to mention Duan Zhanpeng, even the Hu family can't think of it at the moment, or they don't have the heart to think about it.

Everyone has what they think is more important in their hearts, and they deal with the people and things around them absent-mindedly. The banquet in the palace is like this, so why not other things in life?

After Duan Zhanpeng's first wife passed away, he never remarried, and the Duan family had a simple population. After Duan Zheng left with Chu Qing, he was the only one at the Duan family's table. At this time, he made an excuse to leave, and no one would say anything.

It's just that his footsteps were a little sloppy when he went out, and he looked really drunk.Xu Zhinian, Minister of the Ministry of War, was at the door at this time, seeing him going out, he greeted him with a smile.

Duan Zhanpeng was anxious to find Chu Qing and Duan Zheng, but he couldn't ignore Xu Zhinian when he met Xu Zhinian, so he stopped patiently, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu, don't come here without any harm."

"The general is free in the third year of junior high school. May I treat you to dinner?"

Third day, eat?

Duan Zhanpeng blinked: "Master Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Zhinian smiled inscrutablely: "It's just reminiscing about the old days, the general won't give you face, right?"

"How come! Then it's settled. How about Tianbao Building? I'll go and book a box."

Duan Zhanpeng felt that he should find a more expensive place, and then he went to pay the bill in advance. After all, Xu Zhinian was much older than himself, so he couldn't really let him treat him.

Xu Zhinian shook his head with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "The third-year old man is hosting a banquet at home, waiting for the general." After speaking, before Duan Zhanpeng could speak, he said goodbye with a smile and turned around.

At this time, Xu Zhiheng and other Xu family members also came from the hall, cupped their hands and said: "General, my brother is too old to drink, so we all take our leave."

Duan Zhanpeng and Xu Zhiheng were not familiar with each other, but they knew each other, and with Xu Zhinian's relationship, he politely greeted Xu's family members and watched them leave.

Although it is a bit inexplicable, Duan Zhanpeng is more worried about his stubborn (cao) and inferior (dan) eldest son at this time. After going out with the emperor, he has not returned until now!

Duan Zhanpeng was about to go crazy, but he didn't dare to speed up his pace, he just pretended to be drunk and slowly circled along the corridor in front of and behind the hall.

but!

What about people?

Duan Zhanpeng sighed in his heart, he really broke his heart!

Xu Zhiheng, who had already walked to Baoxia, secretly glanced back at Duan Zhanpeng, lowered his voice and said, "Brother, will the general really go to your house?"

Xu Zhinian glared at him angrily: "Why didn't he go?"

Xu Zhiheng curled his lips: "No, I just asked casually. I'm afraid that he will become suspicious. You didn't mention the North Country to him, did you?"

"Shut up!" Xu Zhinian reprimanded in a low voice, "What kind of place is this, don't be silly!"

Xu Zhinian felt that if he wasn't too old, he would be able to beat up his younger brother now, but he didn't understand how the Xu family, who had been scholarly for generations, had become such a medical idiot. Fairy!

Ignorant of the world, if you say it nicely, you are pure-minded, but if you say it badly, you are stupid!

He listened to Xu Zhiheng say those things this afternoon, and he almost didn't die of fright.In the end, he came up with the idea that he knew that Duan Zhanpeng had acquaintances with the high-level officials of Beiguo, so he might be able to find an antidote to save Qing Shaojun.

Xu Zhinian wished he could split his brother's head to see what was inside, but he refused on the spot and scolded him.

But Xu Zhiheng said that the emperor asked him to study the antidote, and if he couldn't find out the antidote, his life might be lost.

Xu Zhiheng said that it is not impossible to study the antidote by himself, but it is estimated that it will take two years.Fortunately, he didn't dare to tell the emperor about this, Xu Zhinian thought, if the emperor's violent temper heard it, the Xu family would probably be ruined.

That's all, who told him that he was just such a direct brother, who would he protect if he didn't protect him?

I can't just fold my younger brother in because of a male concubine, but I don't want this old face, he has to find Duan Zhanpeng too!

What a broken heart...

144. You trust me with my life, and I will follow you to the death.

"Your Majesty, calm down, I really have something to report to you when I enter the palace today." Duan Zheng knelt on the ground and stared at Chu Qing, "You haven't approved the memorial written by me, I really don't know what to do gone."

Chu Qing sat in the chair, did not speak for a long time, and finally sighed: "Get up."

Duan Zheng hesitated for a moment, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Duan Zheng stand up, Chu Qing blinked. He asked people to check for many days, but after checking again and again, he still couldn't figure out who Duan Zheng kept saying that he was in his heart.

Duan Zheng was his companion since he was a child, and later he went to the barracks. There was only one cousin at home, and now he was his concubine, and he didn't see any women in the barracks.Unless it is, a military prostitute?

Chu Qing shook his head secretly, Duan Zheng was definitely not someone who would go looking for military prostitutes, he kept himself clean, and was much more restrained than himself in female sex.

So here comes the question, if the person in Duan Zheng's heart is not Concubine Chen, who else is it?

Chu Qing's eyebrows were heavy, but Duan Zheng's heart was a little excited. We finally met again. These days, when he left that day, Chu Qing's back was always on his mind. He was about to leave, but he didn't even look back.

Duan Zheng thought that Chu Qing was angry with him and would be angry for a long time, so he thought about finding various opportunities to give a memorial to Chu Qing.

Almost three times a day, these days, he is about to throw up writing memorials, as if he has written all the memorials in his life.

But Chu Qing never approved...

Fortunately, he had been in the Southwest for several years, and the Ministry of War called him back to Beijing to report on his duties at the beginning of the year. Duan Zheng guessed that Chu Qing might not have noticed the list of generals who reported on his duties, so he hurried back to Beijing without stopping before he found out.

Anyway, coming back after the new year is the same as coming back before the new year. If you go back as soon as possible, you may go to the palace for a banquet. It is also good to catch a glimpse of him from a distance.

However, after returning, entering the palace, and meeting each other, Duan Zheng realized that Chu Qing was unhappy when he saw him, and he himself didn't know what to say.

Chu Qing glanced at him indifferently: "Why, are you dumb? Don't you have something to tell me?"

Duan Zheng nodded, took out a memorial from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, Chen Shen Zhennan General Cai Kun's notebook, please read it."

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help looking at Duan Zheng, but he didn't accept the memorial.

"Why join him?"

Duan Zheng maintained the posture of presenting with both hands, and his expression was not disturbed, he just said firmly: "Cai Kun is domineering in Yunnan, supporting his own troops, colluding with King Rong, and has evil intentions. King Nan, I don't know there is a court."

"King of Zhennan?" Chu Qing sneered, "What a big tone."

Duan Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, then knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, I risked my life to remonstrate, not for anything else, but for the court and society, and for the people of Yunnan! It is Your Majesty who is angry with the minister, and the complaining minister does not listen. If you want to go back to Jinxiu City, I am willing to be punished."

Chu Qing snorted softly, and finally stretched out a hand to press the memorial.

The memorial was held in Duan Zheng's hand, and Chu Qing's hand pressed on it, but he shrank subconsciously, and Chu Qing pressed it empty.

"Your Majesty, this, this memorial was written temporarily after I entered the palace today. I am really worried that Prince Rong has too much eyeliner. I'm afraid, um, Your Majesty, why don't I explain it to you in detail?"

Chu Qing stared, playing with me!

Too lazy to talk to Duan Zheng, Chu Qing simply stretched out his hand: "Bring it!"

Duan Zheng's heart warmed up, Chu Qing like this was like the one who was playing tricks when he couldn't fight with him when he was a child.

Chu Qing frowned, and got angry: "What kind of eyes are you? Why are you staring at me? Duan Zheng, I never said that I don't owe you anything. What is the grievance on your face? For whom?"

The more he spoke, the louder his voice was, and he almost shouted later, so scared that Duan Zheng immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"What are you doing? Did I say something wrong? You have nothing to say, right? I know you have nothing to say! You did a good job!"

Chu Qing didn't know why he was still angry. Anyway, when he saw Duan Zheng, he was so angry that he raised his hand to press on his chest. He was shot to death by an arrow in his previous life. It must be him who was wronged!

"Your Majesty, the former minister knew that he was wrong." Duan Zheng kowtowed, but he was secretly happy. Chu Qing must have stopped being angry with himself a long time ago.

Immediately he said more earnestly: "I only want to be loyal to Your Majesty now, nothing else. Your Majesty, if Cai Kun is not eliminated, King Rong will always have nothing to fear. The hearts of the people are against each other, and Your Majesty is far away in the deep palace. The crisis in Yunnan, my heart is anxious." Burning! Please be enlightened, Your Majesty!"

Chu Qing gave a "hmm" and said after a long time, "Get up, sit and talk."

Half an hour later, the two came out of Qianyuan Hall. Chu Qing looked at the sky and said, "Duan Zheng, it's my intention that you return to Beijing to report on your duties this time."

In fact, he just saw the list of the Ministry of War and pretended not to find it.Unexpectedly, this guy actually dared to run into the palace to eat and drink, and he probably decided that he would not do anything to him.

But the only thing that is certain is that Duan Zheng will never betray himself now.Chu Qing sighed in his heart, when did he become a tricky emperor?Is this an imperial mind trick?

Duan Zheng was shocked, and suddenly his heart jumped with joy. Although he didn't understand what the emperor meant, he was just happy!

Chu Qing gave him a disgusted look: "Don't think that I will forgive you for cuckolding me, this matter is endless!"

Duan Zheng collapsed immediately: "I didn't..." It's you I like!

Chu Qing waved his hand: "I will arrange someone to investigate Cai Kun's matter, so don't interfere any more. After the new year, I will ask the Ministry of War to send you to Yumen Pass, which is the gateway to the Northern Kingdom from Daxia. I need a Trustworthy people are there."

Duan Zheng's expression froze, Beiguo?

In the previous life, when the Northern Kingdom attacked, his father was framed for collaborating with the enemy, so Chu Qing beheaded his father directly.Could it be that in this life, Chu Qing is going to do something to the North Country?

After I came back from rebirth, I thought a lot, and gradually understood many suspicious points in my previous life. Those letters that framed my father's collaborating with the enemy were all written by the "Qi Wei" in the Dragon Shadow Guard. It is possible that the Dragon Shadow Guard was assigned to do those things. Qing, who else?

But Chu Qing ended up miserable, and later he also knew that his father was wronged, so it should be that someone in Qiwei betrayed Chu Qing and conspired with the person who framed his father to do those things.

The person who framed his father was undoubtedly that young gentleman Xie Lang, but how did he get on with the Dragon Shadow Guard?Even King Rong couldn't appoint a Dragon Shadow Guard.

Regarding this question, Duan Zheng couldn't figure it out.

But Chu Qing trusts him, this is the most important thing, he said that he is someone he can trust!

Duan Zheng felt that there was a villain in his heart, jumping up and down on the green grass under a blue sky and white clouds, he was so happy that he was dying.

Nodding repeatedly, Duan Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty dispatched me, and I will never refuse to die!"

"Duan Zheng, I entrust my wealth and life to you, not for your death." Chu Qing put his hand on Duan Zheng's shoulder, "I want you to be invincible and invincible."

Duan Zheng smiled slightly: "Your Majesty said yes, I beg your Majesty to rest assured."

You trust me with my life, how dare I let you down!This life will be accompanied by life and death, use my shoulders to help you stand on the peak, use my courage to help you everywhere!

Chu Qing, in this life, no matter whether you look back or not, I will wait for you in place until death.

145. What Do You Want From Me?

Duan Zheng was taken away from Qianyuan Hall by Long Yingwei. Chu Qing knew that Duan Zhanpeng was circling Yongfu Palace like a headless chicken looking for his son, so he even sent someone to inform him, telling him to go home quickly.

The Qianyuan Palace was extremely quiet at this time, most of the palace people were summoned to Yongfu Palace to wait on them, and some older ones got leave and went back to watch the New Year.

Chu Qing stood in the yard, looking up at the sky quietly. He drank a lot of wine today, but he didn't feel overwhelmed. He just suddenly felt a little energetic and wanted to walk around.

"Shu Yi, I want to go for a walk alone, you go to Yongfu Palace to say hello to the queen, I will go directly to Kunning Palace."

Shu Yi responded, put on the hood of the cloak for Chu Qing, and said, "My servant asked Long Nian to follow. If Your Majesty feels cold, don't leave."

Chu Qing shook his head: "I'm warm from drinking today, so I don't need to follow. I'm fine with the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Shu Yi sneered at Long Yingwei in his heart, last time he drank too much and slept in Biting for so long, where is Long Yingwei?That time he almost fell into the lake, where is the Dragon Shadow Guard?

This time the Young Master went crazy, and the Dragon Shadow Guard came, but look at that bear who was beaten by a lunatic, tsk tsk, he felt sorry for them.

It is estimated that if someone in Long Yingwei knew that Shu Yi thought so, he would definitely hit him in anger.

Shu Yi slandered in his heart, but didn't dare to say much on the surface. Seeing that Chu Qing had made up his mind, he simply left first.

Chu Qing walked slowly on the path in the palace alone. He has lived in this palace for three generations, and he is familiar with almost every brick and tile here. territory.

He is so happy at the moment. After being reborn, he is full of disturbances every day, and his heart is always weighed down by an infinite weight. It is always difficult to have this kind of quiet solitude.

Even when he was with Xie Lang, he knew that he was happy, but this kind of happiness was not as pure as it was at first, mixed with his troubled calculations, he hated and felt ashamed of Xie Lang.

What she hates is that she died tragically because of him in the two lives, and what she hates is that he still has the same status in this life, and is still someone else's pawn.

The shame is that Xie Lang in this life is not the one who schemed against him in the previous two lives after all, but he has become the one who schemed against him. He is sorry for Xie Lang in this life and for Xie Lang's sincerity towards him.

But he was powerless to change this situation, because even though he knew that this Xie Lang was not the previous Xie Lang, he still couldn't believe that this Xie Lang would not go the same way.

Chu Qing knew that he was not happy. His unhappiness came from his disdain for his own schemes, from his annoyance at being unable to treat Xie Lang sincerely, from his doubts and hesitation about the way ahead, and even more from his understanding of the past in this life. A deep sense of powerlessness to control things.

He felt like a small boat sailing in the dark and deep sea. Although the weather was calm at the moment, he knew that the storm was coming, and he was desperately looking for a harbor to live in.

This feeling often turned into fear, attacking him in the middle of the night, torturing him bit by bit, making him breathless, but there was nowhere to hide.

In front is the Imperial Study Room, Xie Lang should still be in it, Chu Qing paused, not knowing why he got here, he was obviously heading towards Kunning Palace.

It was quiet in the courtyard of the Imperial Study Room, Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in.

Because he didn't allow the news to leak out, the palace people had already been sent away by him, and the whole palace was extremely quiet at this time.

The bright red lanterns were hung high on the corridor, but there was no festive atmosphere at all. In Chu Qing's view, there was only desertion.

Chu Qing walked slowly outside the main hall door, wanting to enter, but didn't know what to do, and what to do when she saw Xie Lang.

Pressing on the door frame with one hand, Chu Qing felt that he should turn around and leave, but just as he moved his feet, the door suddenly opened.

Xie Lang was fully dressed, holding the door with one hand, and walked out from inside.

Looking at each other, Chu Qing suddenly found himself ridiculous. It turned out that he was full of worries and thoughts, but in the end he couldn't resist the momentary gaze of the person in front of him.So at this moment, he only has distress in his heart.

He suddenly took a step forward and hugged him into his arms.

"Alang."

A call is worth a thousand words, Xie Lang was held motionless, and Chu Qing's aura came over him like overwhelming.

He sniffed, Chu Qing, this man is his turmoil, his storm, and the look back he has been looking for all his life, the sincerity and sincerity he wants to have in two lifetimes, and even more so. His death, his endless purgatory.

Chu Qing felt the person in his arms trembling slightly, and couldn't help raising his head.

Under the faint and dim light, Xie Lang's magnificent face was covered with tears, and huge teardrops were still gushing out of his eyes, crackling and hitting Chu Qing's heart, like a rainstorm pouring down.

Xie Lang was crying, but he didn't show any expression or sound. If it wasn't for the slight tremor of his body, Chu Qing would have thought that he had just washed his face and didn't wipe off the water.

"A-Lang, don't cry."

"..."

"A-Lang, it's Zhen, I'm Chu Qing, look at me."

"..."

"A-Lang! What's wrong with you? You're angry, are you angry with me? Don't cry, okay?"

Xie Lang became poisoned after being injected by Xu Zhiheng, so when he woke up, he only remembered what he had heard before, the conversation between Chu Qing and the noble concubine, and he couldn't remember anything else.

But it was also because of this that he was even more sad.

When he woke up, his whole body seemed to be crushed, his muscles and bones ached, and his waist hurt even more.However, he was the only one in the huge palace, not even Xiao Zhu was there.

Xie Lang thought that Chu Qing found out that he had eavesdropped and vomited blood and fainted, not only ignored him, but left him alone in the imperial study to fend for himself.

After waking up, he had already cried several times, but no matter how sad he was, it was useless, Chu Qing was not his own, and this fact made it harder for him to accept than being tricked by Chu Qing.

In the previous life, since Chu Qing had him by his side, she never touched a woman in the harem, except for that concubine Jin who climbed into bed while he was drunk, but was silenced by Xie Lang in the end.

But in this life, Chu Qing was not drunk, and even after beating herself so violently countless times, she still invited the imperial concubine to have fun.

Xie Lang couldn't figure it out, did Chu Qing do this just to let himself hear it?But why does he have to stimulate and beat himself again and again, is he happy seeing himself in pain?

He originally wanted to go back to Zhenwan Pavilion as soon as there was no one else, and pretend that nothing happened, but who knew that when he opened the door, he bumped into Chu Qing who was smelling of alcohol, so he didn't want to tell him to leave, and he didn't want to leave.

However, Chu Qing still looked like this, so that he couldn't love him, and he couldn't wait more. Xie Lang felt like ice cubes were smashed on the fire, and he was tormented by the two worlds of ice and fire. Gently bumping against each other, hot and cold like a pendulum.

Why, why are you doing this again?Since you are cruel and ruthless, I will follow you even if I have cramps, but why do you have to go back on your word?

Chu Qing, what exactly do you want, what do you want from me!

146. When listening to the wall

At some point, Xie Lang had stopped his tears, and he stepped back lightly, with a smile on his lips.

When Chu Qing took a step forward, he took a step back, his expression full of respect and alienation.

It wasn't until Chu Qing stopped suddenly that he lowered his eyes and bowed to salute: "I see your majesty, your majesty is safe."

Chu Qing embraced nothing, and stared blankly at Xie Lang bending down to bow down. He stretched out his hand and said, "A-Lang, listen to my explanation."

Xie Lang didn't raise his head, and said in a flat voice: "Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve, you should be in Yongfu Palace now."

Chu Qing paused, withdrew his hand, frowned and said, "Where should I be, I don't need Qing Shaojun's advice."

Xie Lang lowered his head, and the corners of his lips curled up sarcastically: "This minister made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Young Master, get up." Chu Qing closed his eyes, "Since you are fine, go back and rest earlier."

Xie Lang got up and said: "I obey the order."

Chu Qing stared at him for a while, and finally turned around and left without saying anything.

Xie Lang looked at the slightly lonely back, sighed deeply, and tightly clenched the purse in his hand.

After Chu Qing went out, Xie Lang waited for a while, making sure that he would not run into him again when he went out, then tightened his cloak and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Lang didn't know why he suddenly lost patience with Chu Qing, as if he started to resist this person, his touch, and listening to him from the bottom of his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Lang shook his head to drive out the disappointment in his heart.

It was very strange tonight, there was no palace person inside or outside the imperial study room, Xie Lang looked around suspiciously, always felt that something was not right, after thinking about it, he decided to leave here as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

Leaving the imperial study in a hurry, Xie Lang took a small path and walked towards Zhenwan Pavilion. Although he could avoid people along the way, but because of the remoteness, he didn't carry a lantern, so he walked a bit slowly.

Xie Lang knew that passing through the rockery by the lake was the single bridge in front of Zhenwan Pavilion, but it was so late that he didn't know if it was a good idea to walk inside the rockery.

However, he only hesitated for a moment, and decided to pass through the rockery.

After all, at this time, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to swagger back to Zhenwan Pavilion from the main road.Moreover, he was worried that his zhenqi was retrograde earlier, causing poisonous hair, so it is better to go back as soon as possible.

Seeing no one around, Xie Lang got into the rockery and walked slowly while holding onto the uneven inner wall of the cave.

It gets darker the further you go in. Fortunately, he has walked through it many times in his previous life, and now he still remembers the direction, so it went smoothly when he groped slowly.

But halfway there, he encountered a fork in the road. Xie Lang knew he should turn to the right. He put his cloak on and was about to turn around when he heard a low sigh coming from the fork in the left.

Xie Lang held his breath subconsciously, leaning sideways against the rock wall and listening carefully.

The blushing and heartbeating sound drifted into his ears intermittently, and Xie Lang suddenly realized that it was not right for him to leave now, nor would it be wrong if he did not leave.

If he left, he would suffer internal injuries. In this narrow and dark corridor, his lightness kung fu could not be fully utilized, and he was afraid that the other party would hear the voice.If it's an ordinary person, it's okay, but if it's a master, then it's really hard for him to escape.

But if he didn't leave, Xie Lang's face became tense, listening to others messing around?That's enough, okay?

Although helpless and disgusted, Xie Lang still bite the bullet and waited in place without moving. It is impossible for these two people to stay in the rockery for a lifetime. Once they leave, he will have a chance to leave without anyone noticing.

But this kind of thing, for those who listened to the wall, it was like a year, Xie Lang struggled to control his breathing and heartbeat, and hid himself in a state of tortoise breathing.

However, the sound of impact and bursts of panting, although they were suppressed as much as possible, they still had a sense of imagery.

Xie Lang's mind started to think wildly uncontrollably, and his body also started to feel hot, but at this moment, there seemed to be something clamoring in his body that was about to come out. Xie Lang felt a little regretful, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have taken a shortcut.

In fact, he is also very strange. He has disliked women since he was sensible. Although there are forced reasons, he really never gets emotional because of a woman. Even if a woman takes off her clothes to seduce him, he is indifferent.

But now he can't hold back because of hearing these silly voices, he really doesn't know what's wrong with him.

Xie Lang's face was as hot as a fire, he leaned lightly against the stone wall and clenched his teeth.

What happened today almost touched his bottom line. Since his rebirth, he has always been full of confidence. Even though he has never been able to get Chu Qing's sincerity, he never thought that one day, Chu Qing will let himself hear those...

The woman next to her seemed to be "bullied" and couldn't stand it, she whimpered, and the man seemed to kiss her, swallowing those small sounds into his stomach.

At that time, Chu Qing and the imperial concubine should have been like this too, but they were more unscrupulous than the two of them now.

Xie Lang trembled all over, and then he knew that he was possessed...

But no matter what, there was nothing but more and more pain.

He bit his lips tightly, closed his eyes, and heard the voices of those two people when they were most intense, but that voice turned into the figures of Chu Qing and the imperial concubine in his mind, and then gradually, it turned into Chu Qing's face , when full of lust, when full of tenderness, when angry...

It's all Chu Qing, only Chu Qing.

He said: Ah Lang, call me by my name.

He said: It's Chu Qing who likes Xie Lang, always, always.

He said: You swear, you will never betray me!

He said: I can't give you what you want.

He said, it's just a joke.

Xie Lang finally cried out silently.

Beside also seemed to end the fight.

Xie Lang leaned softly against the stone wall, as if his body had been drained of strength, he stared blankly at the depths of the dark rockery cave, with a tear slowly falling from the corner of his eye.

Why!Why do you think of him, why do you have to think about him even for this kind of thing...

Chu Qing, I still can't let go of you, I can't let go of you in my heart, and I can't let go of my body even more. ##### My heart is so tired, if it is not necessary for the plot, I really want to delete this chapter... Why is my consciousness in this parallel universe?Why am I going through all this?Why……

147. In this life, Chu Qing fights back?

The man and woman did not exchange a word until they left, Xie Lang held his breath and waited until he could no longer hear their footsteps, then fell down on the ground as if discouraged.

The sticky feel of the clothes made him embarrassed, Xie Lang finally couldn't restrain himself, sat on the ground with his knees bent, covered his face and began to cry.

He cried so much that he hiccuped uncontrollably and couldn't stop.

Xie Lang felt that he had to leave here, so he supported the stone wall and wanted to stand up, but he started too violently, and suddenly he became dizzy and his legs became weak.

Xie Lang fell forward, and hastily reached out to support the stone wall, but forgot that it was inside the rockery.The stone wall was already uneven, and the environment was too dark. In his panic, he couldn't see the sharp stone protruding from the slanted thorn, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it.

When the palm hurt, Xie Lang let out a low cry, and quickly withdrew his hand. Feeling the sticky wetness on the palm, he sighed, the wound should be quite serious.

But such a surprise stopped the hiccup.But just as he stood firmly, there was a sharp throbbing pain under his ribs, which made him almost unable to stand still, and he was about to fall down again.

Xie Lang was shocked, this position, could it be that the poison is about to take hold?But it's been less than half a year since the last time I took the medicine, how could...

He didn't have time to think about how he would get poisoned, and he didn't even dare to think about what would happen if he really got poisoned, Xie Lang just wanted to go back to Zhenwan Pavilion quickly, he just wanted to get out of this ghostly place as soon as possible.

He bit his lip stubbornly, not daring to delay any longer, he stumbled all the way out of the rockery.

Not far away is the imperial garden, there are faint voices at this time, is it possible that the palace banquet is over?

Xie Lang frowned, that's all, at least there was no one around him, he didn't care about other things, he used lightness kung fu, and floated across the single bridge almost without touching the ground.

The door of Zhenwan Pavilion was ajar, because he hadn't come back, Xiao Zhu had to go out every once in a while to have a look.When Xie Lang's accident happened, Xiao Zhu happened to go to get some hot water, and was immediately sent back to Zhenwan Pavilion by Shu Yi.

He thought that Xie Lang had to come back to change clothes before the palace banquet, but who knew that he had waited until night, and no one came back.

The people who went out to inquire about the news came back and said that all the palace servants in the Imperial Study were sent to Yongfu Palace to help, and the emperor also went there early, but there was no news of Xie Lang, it seemed that he was not in the Imperial Study anymore.

Xiaozhu was very anxious, but he didn't know where to find someone, so he could only open the door and wait around from time to time.

This was convenient for Xie Lang, he saw the door was ajar, and rushed in without hesitation.

Turning around and closing the door, he let out a long breath, but he felt relieved, the severe pain under his ribs hit again, Xie Lang groaned, spit out a mouthful of blood, finally couldn't hold on, and fell to the ground leaning against the door.

"Son!"

Xiaozhu came out from the side room and heard the movement of the door, and after a closer look, he found that it was Xie Lang sitting on the ground with his head hanging down, he couldn't help being startled and anxious.

"Young master, what's wrong with you? Young master, wake up!"

Xiaozhu cried loudly and tried to wake Xie Lang up, but Xie Lang didn't seem to notice.

Suddenly a figure flickered in front of him, and Xiao Zhu raised his head subconsciously, only to see that the old eunuch had rushed over at some point.

The old eunuch couldn't help but grab Xie Lang's arm and wrap it around his neck, and at the same time put his hands on his waist, let him lean on him, and dragged him into the room.

Xiao Zhu followed all the way in surprise, many palace people gathered in the yard who heard the movement, the old eunuch coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master is drunk tonight, everyone should go back to their rooms and not come out, if someone talks nonsense Gossip or do something against the Lord, naturally you know what the end will be."

Most of the people serving in the Zhenwan Pavilion are people brought by Xie Lang from the North Kingdom, and the rest are secret guards he has quietly selected from his own forces outside the palace, and the old eunuch has an awe-inspiring majesty among these people .

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, bowed their heads in agreement, and returned to their residences one after another.

The Zhenwan Pavilion was once again silent, the old eunuch placed Xie Lang on the bed, then stretched out his hand to press his wrist, then unbuttoned his skirt, and checked his chest and ribs.

Seeing a bruise under his ribs, the old eunuch's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a moment and pulled up the quilt to cover him.

"Old Mo, what's the matter, young master?"

Xiao Zhu came over to see if Xie Lang was awake, but was stopped by the old eunuch.

"Is there any medicine left from the North Country? Give him one."

"Ah!" Xiaozhu opened his eyes wide, "That medicine is not next autumn..."

"Go!" The old eunuch interrupted him coldly, "If you still want the son to live well, go now."

Xiao Zhu glanced at Xie Lang in horror, gritted his teeth and nodded: "I see."

Xie Lang fell asleep here until midnight before waking up, Lao Mo and Xiao Zhu were guarding beside him, seeing that he woke up, Lao Mo nodded and turned to go out.

Xiaozhu gave him a strange look but didn't care about the theory, she just rushed to the bedside and was about to cry excitedly: "Young master, you are awake, you scared us to death!"

Xie Lang supported the bed and sat up: "What's wrong with me?"

"My lord, you vomited blood and passed out after entering the door." Xiao Zhu said, "Old Mo gave you the medicine, and now you are fine."

Xie Lang frowned, it really was poisonous, could it be that King Liang lied to him?But no, this kind of thing has never happened in the previous life, he has always been good, why this time he just turned his true qi retrograde, and it caused poisonous hair?

"My lord, are you alright?" Xiao Zhu was still in shock, her eyes fixed on Xie Lang, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Xie Lang smiled and stroked his hair: "Silly boy, what can I do. It's just that I'm in a hurry and I'm not feeling well."

Xiaozhu obviously didn't believe it, but she knew that Xie Lang meant that she wouldn't ask him any more, so she nodded obediently.

"Young master, are you hungry? I'll go get some food?"

Xie Lang shook his head: "I don't want to eat it. Xiao Zhu, I seemed to see Lao Mo leave just now, has he been there all this time?"

Xiaozhu nodded, and told what happened after Xie Lang fainted, and seeing that Xie Lang had nothing to say, he got up and went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Xie Lang leaned against the head of the bed, sighing inwardly, this time he hurt himself badly
