Supreme Serpent

White dew ① is frost, the yin energy is getting heavier, the dew is condensed and white.

The weather is getting colder, and the rain is still falling intermittently.In the early morning, the condensed dew can be seen on the treetops of the palace, and the eaves of the carved beams and painted buildings are covered with a layer of purple mist, as if you have arrived in the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River.

Xiaolu straightened the sable fur coat on Luoyu's body, carried a gilded thermos pot, and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Since the beginning of the month, there have always been noisy noises from Ye'ange, nothing at night, but crackling at dawn, very loud.

Luo Yu said: "Why is it so mysterious? I must drag you to find out what's going on, and see that you are still hiding it from me."

"Good master, don't say in front of the lord that I brought you here too much. If the lord doesn't say it, how dare the servant dare to say it. You will know it after you go to see it. It's not that the lord loves you."

The two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and saw people coming and going in front of Ye'ange. Some people pushed wooden carts and pulled things in from time to time, and some carried out baskets of soil. Hundreds of people were busy working.

Luoyu saw Ji Ruohua who was busy before and after, and walked forward, "Sir, I haven't seen you for a few days, so you are here. I thought you were going back to the border."

Ji Ruohua put a roll of blueprints in his sleeve, with a usual smile on his face: "Why is Qingshu here? I'm afraid I can't hide this surprise."

"What surprise? What are you doing here?"

He pointed to the deep pit in front of him, and said: "Qingshu is so lucky, the prince ordered me to supervise the construction of a [-]-foot tall building, and when the tall building is completed, standing on the top of the building will be able to see the Yichuan River outside the capital. The building has to be built in just two months, the prince spent a lot of money and painstaking efforts!"

Luoyu's face turned red, and her heart was as sweet as honey, "Thank you, Mr. I seldom dabble in building houses, so I can't help you much."

"Qing Shu, don't say that. There are all kinds of skilled craftsmen here. It's the rain~ the rain always delays the construction period. I can only find a way to solve the problem of water seepage in the foundation as soon as possible, otherwise the prince will blame it." After speaking, there was a deep smile in those slender eyes.

Luo Yu naturally didn't want to embarrass him, after returning, he looked up at the gray sky with light rain for a while, and flew back to Shui Mansion while no one turned into green smoke.One day in the sky and one year in the ground, his master was going to go to heaven for nine days, that is to say, it would take nine years to come back. In his heart, he apologized to his master. He bravely stole the rain-gathering cup, which was a relic of the ancient water god Gonggong. , He is a disciple of the River God, and he has received the true biography of the Aquarium. He uses the rain-gathering cup to make clouds and spread rain, and it is easy to collect rain and clear the sky.

A small indigo cup flew into the air from the bottom of the river, and soon all the rain from all sides poured into the cup. The cup seemed to have no bottom, and after absorbing the endless rainwater, it flew back to the bottom of the river, and flew straight to Luoyu's hand. superior.

Ji Ruohua looked at the suddenly clear sky with a faint rainbow hanging on it, with a knowing smile on his face, like a fox, he sighed secretly: He is still an incredible fairy!It's either a dragon or a snake, or it's just too stupid!

The news of Shan He Lanzhi's death came half a month later. Three days after she was brought back to the southern country, she ended her unfortunate life in the three-foot white silk in the palace. Even if she was born in the royal family, her life would be thinner than paper.

After listening to the shadow guard's secret report, King Rui didn't have much expression on his face.

Ji Ruohua at the side thought about it, and said: "Shan Hehui will definitely not stop here, the prince must make preparations early."

King Rui clasped his hands, stretched his fingers through the white jade, and cracked his joints, "Go back to Xiguan first, and order General Lu Jun to dispatch 15 troops to guard the border. Fudan has always been friendly with Nanguo, so he will definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack. As for Nanguo , the king ordered Mo Hengfei to lead the troops to fight against the enemy in the southern Anhui Province, and the 50 army is like a broken bamboo."

"My lord is truly a once-in-a-lifetime genius. This person who is familiar with the art of war and dispatches troops will definitely be able to defeat Nanguo and Fudan. It's just...a building built for the young master..."

"The king will send capable people to supervise the construction, you go first."

Ji Ruohua bowed his hands and saluted, Shi Shiran withdrew.Back in the room, he took out a worn square scarf from his bosom. It had been for many years, and the velvet on the scarf was knotted and tangled together, and there were some old mottled blood stains on it.Scenes from the past emerged. He buried the scarf on his face and sniffed carefully, greedily and obsessively, as if he could still smell that person.

The autumn banquet of the royal family was held in the imperial garden surrounded by marigolds. The Wanshou Sky Lantern set against the golden thread Wanshou Baolian behind the lantern, accompanied by the Shaole music under the eaves of the palace, creating a luxurious and joyful atmosphere.This is just a family banquet of the royal family, a banquet that only the descendants of the royal family and the clan kings can attend.

Empress Wen Xuanwu also showed her face at the banquet for the first time. She looked dignified and beautiful, with a smart logo. She was dressed in bright yellow silk and golden phoenix robes, and she was covered with five-color clouds. momentum.

Everyone looked at the beauty in green beside King Rui from time to time, and it was the first time that the regent brought his people to a banquet, so everyone had to pay more attention.

The queen mother looked at King Rui fiercely with her snake-like gaze. Just a month ago, her younger brother was scraped alive in front of the palace gate by this man. Hundreds of people in the family of the uncle's mansion died overnight. Her dignified queen mother's mother How could she not hate her family being slaughtered? She only hoped that one day she would be able to suck his blood and devour his flesh.

Xuanyuan Hao offered a glass of wine to his mother. Her hostility was too obvious, which made him startled, "Mother, I hereby offer you a glass of wine. May the mother enjoy good health forever!"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "Ankang? What's the Ai family's well-being? I'm afraid that even the Empress Dowager will die inexplicably."

"What did the queen mother say, today is a family banquet, don't talk about those unlucky ones, come, my son will drink this with you."

She pushed away the wine offered by the eunuch, "Ai's family is unwell, the national teacher, go back to the Xianju Hall to do a practice for Ai's family, to save the ghosts who died in vain."

The clan and royals in the audience were in an uproar, it was not obvious that they were provoking King Rui.

Chong Lingzi has always been the Empress Dowager's confidant, and he would follow him every step of the way even at family banquets. He chuckled and said, "This is a poor way of doing things, and I will definitely pray for your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Please move quickly to drive the fairy if the Empress Dowager is unwell." Living in the palace, Pindao blesses the Empress Dowager with a magic vessel of bright flowers."

As soon as the queen mother's phoenix drove away, the banquet continued as usual.The royal family stood up to toast King Rui, and surrounded Luo Yu outside.At this time, a graceful woman came, dressed in blue tulle, she walked gracefully in front of Luoyu, holding a glass of wine in her hand, smiling coquettishly.

"My lord, long time no see, Lan'er is being polite."

"It's you! It's been a long time since I last saw you. We hadn't seen each other for several months that day."

Luoyu was naturally happy to see his old friend, and he raised his wine glass to drink together.

"Why are you here?"

"To be honest, the national teacher is my righteous brother."

"He's a Taoist...then...he knows you are?"

Lan Ji smiled and said: "Of course I know, my brother has always pitied me, and he will not do anything to me. I came to the mortal world alone, and fortunately I met him, and gave Lan'er a safe place."

Xuanyuan Jianyou looked at the two people who were talking under the flowers not far away, and called the eunuch in charge, "Who is that woman?"

The eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, her name is Lan Ji, she is the first-rank imperial lady bestowed by the emperor, and the sister of the national teacher."

Xuanyuan Jianyou responded coldly, and the eunuch retreated hastily.

Luo Yu and Lan Ji were chatting with each other, looked back at King Rui behind him, and gave him a beautiful smile.Xiang Lanji nodded and returned to the man's side.

Xuanyuan Hao on the golden dragon table had already felt itchy when he saw Luo Yu, and he knew what it was like to be a man after being with eunuchs for a long time, but because King Rui was around, he didn't dare to do anything at all, so he had to drink dull wine .

"Your Majesty, drink less, the dragon's body is important!" Wen Xuanwu took the hip flask away, gently dissuading her.

"Go away, what are you? How dare you control me?" Xuanyuan Hao grabbed the jug and filled another glass.

"The concubine dare not, the emperor atones for it."

After drinking for three rounds, Xuanyuan Hao looked at the falling jade in the distance with Ruju's eyes from time to time, what happened to that thin waist in his hands?The mountain has long been thrown out of the sky.

……

"Are you sleepy?" Xuanyuan Jianyou stroked his greasy face.

Luo Yu pillowed on his lap, and shook her head lightly, her warm eyes reflected his clear and somewhat stern face.The corners of his mouth are always tight, and only occasionally when he is emotional will he show a happy face.

The man took away the hand that gently pulled the corner of his mouth, "Yu'er, would you like to go to Xiguan with me?"

"Xiguan is in the depths of the desert, why did Jianyou go there?"

"The world is going to be in chaos, and war is imminent. There are Fudan and Nanguo in the front, and there are not many available people in the court. I have to go."

Luo Yu hugged his waist tightly, "I will go wherever you go, and I will never be separated from you even if I die."

"kindness"

He opened the curtain and gave an order, the coachman flicked his whip lightly, and the horses sped away towards the palace.

Luo Yu looked at the obscene pants in his hand, his face turned blue and white.The obscene trousers were stained with a little bit of blood, although it was not much, it spread out like a red plum, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a woman's sunflower water.Luoyu was stunned for a long time, then frantically ran to the study to get the medical book.The above said: There is bleeding, pain in the lower abdomen, and weakness all over the body, typical signs of menstrual flow.

Luo Yu closed her eyes, and the book in her hand fell to the ground.Since he was approached a few months ago, bloodshot eyes appeared inexplicably on his obscene pants. At first, he thought it was bleeding from a back injury, but he didn't pay much attention to it.Until this morning, that embarrassing place... even... even shed a few drops of warm blood by itself.

Luoyu grasped the blue hair dejectedly, then lowered his head to examine the two flat spots, the granulation between the legs, no matter how he looked at it, he was a real man.

"I must be dreaming...it must be..." Luoyu tucked her obscene pants into the quilt and muttered to herself, then fell asleep with her head covered, hoping that it was really a dream.

"Master... it's time for lunch, get up quickly."

Xiaolu was carrying the food box, and he was very excited. As long as the prince was not around, the son would let him eat together. The dishes cooked by the imperial chef were different, extremely delicious, much better than those cooked by the cook.

"My lord, why did you sleep so long today? Yesterday you ordered the servants to remind you that you are going to draw fish in the garden today."

Luoyu said: "Go, find me a pot of fire."

Xiaolu looked at the bright sun outside the house, "Young Master, are you cold? I see it's hot today."

"Yes, I'm cold, very cold, go find a fire."

"Okay, okay, servant, go now, don't freeze."

After a while, Xiaolu brought a basin of hot charcoal, "My lord, the fire is coming, get out of bed and eat."

"Take it and eat it. I don't have any appetite. I want to take a break."

After Xiaolu retreated, Luoyu threw the obscene pants into the brazier in a panic.He pressed his frantically beating heart, this was not a dream, there was really... a man was bleeding like a woman.Could it be because of the loss of Neidan's relationship?Or is it sick?The more Luo Yu thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, otherwise how could a big man bleed for no reason, one day he would go back to Shui Mansion and eat some master's elixir, and he would be healed, so he quickly comforted himself.

After sleeping, Xuanyuan Jianyou was already beside the bed when he woke up.

Luo Yu suddenly remembered the matter of the flower buds bleeding, and felt scared and shocked at the same time. Today I can't be happy anymore, what if this person finds out?

"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Jianyou lifted the quilt and asked again: "I'm already awake, why did you cover your face again?"

"No...nothing, I had a nightmare where I...bleed..." His voice trailed off.

"En. Pack your bags tomorrow and go to Xiguan."

Then he fell asleep with him in his arms, and the night was peaceful.Afterwards, Luoyu was still secretly glad, but in fact, the man saw that his complexion was not good, and he didn't want to make him too tired.

Two days later, King Rui took some followers and went to Xiguan in light clothes.
