[Weird Man] Abduct a prince to warm the bed

The cold winter came with snowflakes, and inside and outside the imperial city, there was nothing but wildness.

On the cold stone ground, Yunhe was dressed in court clothes, bowing his head and kneeling.The emperor stood in front of him with a dignified expression.The hall is like an ice cave and cold cellar, which makes people feel even colder.

Just the two of them, even Bi Yun was sent out of the house.

The emperor's face changed from shock to anger to this moment, showing no sadness or joy.But what he said was extremely sharp: "Reason!"

Yunhe's hands on the ground were pale, and it was as if thousands of gongs were beating in his heart that shook the sky.In the early days, the empress left him alone, and asked him euphemistically how the affairs in the yamen were handled.

He replied: "Everything is still going well, but only one or two towns have implemented it so far, and no other disadvantages have been seen yet."

The emperor nodded lightly: "In the past, reforms have gone through many hardships. Although we can learn from the lessons of the past, it is not an easy task in the end. You don't have to worry."

Yunhe bowed slightly, signaling his obedience.

The emperor said: "Kerry Khan came to worship three times and talked with me about peaceful coexistence. I came to you today to discuss marriage with you."

Yunhe panicked suddenly, his heart trembled slightly, it turned out that his premonition had come true.A few days ago, there were some flaws in the system. He worked with many officials day and night to perfect it, so he delayed his own thoughts. Now that the emperor has appointed him, what should we do?In words, he was discussing with him, but in reality there was no room for negotiation.

The emperor continued: "For so many years, I have never seen a considerate person by your side... After thinking about it, this matter is very important, and you have reached the age of marriage. Firstly, you should start a family and start a business. Secondly, it is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. , although Kerry is weaker than Ming, if they are united, they can deter foreign enemies."

Yunhe just stood there, listening to the emperor's every word, it was like a sharp sword piercing his heart, he didn't know how to speak more appropriately, if he kept speaking bluntly, he would definitely implicate Xiaomei, if he didn't mention it now, there would be no room for him in the future. After hesitating for a while, he said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, this is the critical time for reform. I think about marriage."

The emperor looked soft and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, and the marriage is not in a hurry at this time. As long as you agree, I will talk to Kerry Khan. It doesn't matter if you delay it for a year or two."

Yunhe was even more anxious, and delaying the attack was not the solution, and if it continued to delay, it would only become more and more difficult.After thinking about it, he knelt down on the ground, and said tentatively: "I have no intention of getting married, so I dare to ask the emperor to take it back."

The emperor's expression was startled, and then he became angry, and when he was about to reprimand, he felt that it was too heartless, so he asked sternly: "The reason!"

Yunhe's forehead rested on the back of his hand, his eyes flickering. "My lord, I already have my own heart, and I am afraid that the marriage is a matter of will and powerlessness. Please take back the order of the emperor."

The emperor looked at his figure lying on the ground for a while, and asked seriously, "Who?"

Yunhe became more panicked and did not dare to report hastily.

The emperor thought about it, and tried to calm down: "If you are an ordinary person and not worthy of your status, I will allow you to take her as a concubine. If you are a high-ranking official, you explain to her that if you want to be a junior, you can marry her yourself. If you don't feel wronged , and cut off contact."

Yunhe was speechless to refute, he didn't dare to speak casually, if Xiaomei was involved for no reason, it would definitely hurt him.But now, if he didn't say anything, what status should he give Xiaomei?

Seeing that he was speechless, the emperor said, "I will give you time to think about it." After finishing speaking, he walked away in a huff.

Yun He knelt and turned around, calling: "Your Majesty."

The emperor stopped.He replied in a trembling voice: "I owe the emperor's great love, and I deserve death. The girl I love is not a girl." The emperor still stood where he was, listening to what he said, and he could only reply firmly: "I met you when I was discouraged. He Xiaomei, hand in hand with him through wind and rain, share life and death, I have long admired him, I only hope that I will follow him in this life until I grow old, and ask the emperor to help me."

It was snowing heavily outside the house, like a curtain tightly covering the gate of the palace.The emperor's eyebrows were furious, and he looked at the heavy snow outside the house, as if thousands of troops were lined up in front.

a long time.

Only then did he hear his extremely patient voice: "You are smart, I will pretend that you never said that today."

"Your Majesty." Yunhe called again, "I only have him in my heart, I have no room for it, and I don't want to delay others. I am willing to give up everything and ask the emperor to help me."

The emperor was even more angry: "You are challenging my bottom line."

Yunhe just begged: "My subject, I hope the emperor will help you."

The emperor called out sharply: "Come here."

Outside the door, Bi Yun hurried into the house.

"Put him in the prison and monitor He Xiaomei all the time. If there is any resistance, he will be shot."

Yunhe called out in alarm: "Your Majesty."

Bi Yun looked at Yunhe with an unbearable expression on his face, then looked at the emperor again, and said softly: "Your Majesty, my lord was just excited for a while—"

The emperor looked at each other with angry eyes, and Bi Yun immediately nodded and accepted the order.

Yunhe was infinitely terrified, he was not afraid of suffering himself, Xiaomei didn't know about it, if she resisted, her life would be in danger.He begged tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I will take responsibility for the affairs of one of my subjects. I beg the Emperor to let him go."

Bi Yun winked at him, telling him not to speak again.But Xiaomei is so dangerous, how can he keep silent.

The guards had already entered the palace, so he had no choice but to be taken into prison.

"Ahem..." Xiaomei couldn't bear the wind and cold, and her body felt uncomfortable again and again.

It has been three days since they moved out of the palace, Sanniang and Ge Ge chose an auspicious day, and everyone moved in again.It's just that he and Yunhe haven't seen each other for five days, and they miss him very much.Today, Ben wanted to go back to the palace, but just after he left the door, he coughed.

He heard the faint sound of stepping on the snow, he looked around and saw nothing unusual, he continued to move forward, not far away, he heard the faint sound again, thinking in his heart that there might be an enemy chasing him.

Xiaomei was alert immediately, prepared the dart, and heard the slight sound of gliding, he dodged sideways, a short arrow leaped forward, and was about to fight back, but there was no sound.

He paid attention to it again and again to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, and then walked towards the place where the short arrow was. There was a note tied to the arrow, and he took it off, with four words written on it: Do not resist.

Who would have tipped him off?Or is it just a trick of the enemy?

Xiaomei put away the note, went forward, entered the city, and faintly felt that she was being followed. He didn't know whether the person who left the note was an enemy or a friend, so she entered the palace cautiously.

The people in the mansion have not returned to the prince's early court, perhaps because important matters have been delayed.Xiaomei didn't think too much about it, Yunhe had a lot of things to do in recent days, he also understood, so he stayed in the palace and waited for his return.The study room of the Wangfu is still the same, but there are some waste manuscripts on the desk. He thinks that Yunhe came back and drafted and annotated the text. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. They were all rules and regulations, but Yunhe's handwriting became thicker and vigorous.In order to pursue Tongyue, Brother Hu has spent every day in the theater troupe since she arrived, doing odd jobs for free, hoping to get the troupe master to release her smoothly.As the weather got colder, Ge Ge had to prepare a lot of things for San Niang and their children, and some insignificant things were just spoken words instead of doing them personally.It seems that he is the only one who is free, occasionally provoking Yizhimei's leader to handle some small cases, but most of the time he is also idle.As soon as I was free, I missed Yunhe more and more, as if my heart and eyes were all about him, full of their bits and pieces.I have never known the taste of love, it is so hard to extricate myself.

Xiaomei withdrew her thoughts, took down a medical book, and was about to read it, when suddenly a figure flashed past the window and looked into the room consciously.With such a hot pursuit, he must have been followed.He put down the book, opened the door quietly, and saw a servant hurriedly hiding behind the stone wall, he jumped over to stop him. The man's face was strange and burly, he didn't look like a servant of the palace.

Xiaomei asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The man was evasive: "My lord has something to do these days, I'm afraid you may not feel well, so I asked my subordinates to take a look."

Xiaomei was dubious, and suddenly saw the waist badge of the Ouchi bodyguard on his waist, as if the matter would not be so simple, Yunhe sent someone to report the letter, he could call Qing Xiao, why did the Ouchi bodyguard come?Also, the words on the note were unpredictable. The person in front of him didn't seem to be malicious, so he could only pretend to be polite: "I'm fine, you tell the prince, don't worry."

The man saluted respectfully and turned to leave.But Xiaomei realized that she was actually monitoring herself.He also only acted carefully, not to startle the snake.

Twilight has come, and the snow is still falling.There are sweepers all over the narrow corridor, struggling to shovel the snow that is as thick as the feet.The royal driver came with majesty, and all the sweepers knelt down, not daring to look up to see the true face of the emperor.

The jailer bowed to lead the way. The cells on both sides were empty and clean. When he reached the inner room, he stopped, opened the door, and retreated voluntarily.

Yunhe knelt down and saluted: "Kowtow to the emperor."

The emperor looked around, and then turned his gaze back to look at him. Without anger, he called Pingshen lightly.

Yunhe got up, bowed his head and said nothing.Although it is about the prison, the jailers dare not neglect him and take good care of him.He also carefully thought about what the emperor said a few days ago, what the emperor meant was that no matter whether he likes Xiaomei or someone else, as long as he agrees to the marriage, he will not pursue it.But in this way, how should he deal with himself?He only had Xiaomei in his heart, didn't he harm the princess?In this way, Xiaomei has become a dark favorite to him, so where does Xiaomei go?

He couldn't agree, for Xiaomei and for the princess.

The emperor withdrew the crowd, leaving only Bi Yun to stand by. Bi Yun held the imperial decree in his hand, but did not announce it for a long time.Yunhe didn't know what was inside, but he seemed to know that he couldn't answer it.

"Two days have passed, have you figured it out?"

The emperor's voice was extremely weak, and no emotion could be heard, but Yunhe knew that there must be an undercurrent surging behind it.He knelt down and confessed his mistake in a low voice: "Yifeng knows that he is acting absurdly, in vain of the emperor's love, for the sake of Daming, Yifeng will die, but Yifeng has found it hard to accept others in his heart. Yifeng is willing to do everything for the emperor, and for the marriage, I beg the emperor to take good care of Yifeng and take it back."

The emperor's anger gradually grew, and he suppressed and persuaded him: "I have given you a way out, but you don't know?"

Yunhe bowed his head: "Yifeng knows, the emperor loves you very much."

The emperor pressed, "Then what else do you want?"

Yunhe is also in a dilemma, but he is more determined: "Yifeng only wants He Xiaomei alone in this life, and he has no second thoughts."

"Heh!" The emperor suddenly laughed and stared at him angrily, "Never mind. Don't forget who you are."

"Yi Feng dare not forget."

"Such a disobedience, you still say you dare not forget? It is the limit that I allow you to associate with him, don't let me have to kill someone."

Yunhe was astonished, and begged urgently: "This is just Yifeng's wishful thinking, it has nothing to do with him, please don't embarrass him."

"Shut up!" the emperor stopped, "You think I'm a fool, would you not know the relationship? If not, I will never allow him to live. As the prince of Ming Dynasty, you should remember your identity and responsibilities. I can treat you as young If you are ignorant, don't pursue this matter any more, just let him live. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yunhe had mixed feelings.Bi Yun persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is merciful, listen to the old slave's persuasion, don't be brave again. If these two feelings last for a long time, why should you care about anything?" Yun He was speechless, Bi Yun said, and announced The imperial decree is clear and clear, for the prosperity of the country and the friendship with Lin, the king of Gaomi and the princess of the Kerry kingdom are married, and they will be married at a certain date.

Yunhe just knelt down anxiously.

Bi Yun handed him the imperial edict, and reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, accept the edict."

Yunhe clenched his fists tightly and refused to answer: "I cannot accept the order."

"You!" The emperor was furious and snapped, "Don't force me to kill him!"

Yunhe bowed his head and knocked on the ground: "I would like to die, and with the great love of the whole emperor, I beg the emperor to let him go."

The emperor's face was ashen, and the veins on his temples were protruding: "If you want to die, then I will fulfill you first, and then cut him into pieces."

"Your Majesty." Bi Yun called urgently, "Don't get angry and hurt the dragon's body, the prince is young, if you think about it again, you will know that the emperor has good intentions."

"He wouldn't be so stubborn if he wanted to."

"The emperor calm down." Bi Yun kept persuading, while winking at Yunhe, the emperor had never lost his composure like this, he must be angry with him, he only hoped that Yunhe could act expediently.

But Yunhe knew that if he couldn't get the emperor's consent, he would have no chance in the future.He is not afraid of death, but it will hurt Xiaomei.He hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Yifeng has nothing to ask for, only this tiny wish, and Yifeng is willing to give up everything."

The emperor stared at him angrily, and said coldly: "I would like to give up everything! I didn't give you anything! Well, then you will be imprisoned here to die!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away.Yunhe didn't dare to speak, and just froze in place.

Outside the cell, there was no longer any light, let alone the sound of falling snow, everything seemed to be still.Only his heart, like a knife, hurt so weakly.

Xiaomei returned to the palace again, but the servant still said that the prince has not returned yet.He went to the yamen, but was told that he needed to be notified, but every time the person who notified him said that the prince was busy and had no time to meet him.He knew that Yunhe had a heavy burden at the moment and didn't have much leisure time, but he just wanted to see her.And these days there are always people following him, before he finds out the reason, he can't startle the snake, he can only act cautiously.Just summing up the situation, he felt a little uneasy, could something be wrong with Yunhe?Injured or something else?The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, he couldn't sleep well, and he didn't know what to eat.

I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know how many days the sun rises and sets. The eunuch came to invite, and the emperor summoned him. Yunhe knelt in the hall, terrified.

Bi Yunxuan: "Bong, heaven will bring luck, the emperor summoned and said, Zhu Yifeng, the king of Gaomi, has both political integrity and ability, and has made great contributions to saving the country. He was awarded the post of cabinet scholar, and he is in charge of revising and perfecting reforms. I hope you will live up to my wishes and keep in mind the prosperity of the country and the security of the country." It is my duty to prosper the Ming Dynasty, and I honor this."

Yunhe knelt quietly, with too many worries and fears, he didn't know what happened to Xiaomei outside, and he didn't know how he would end up in the future.The emperor gave him an official, but it was a different way to imprison him. The imperial decree didn't mention marriage, so he was a little bit at a loss.

The emperor got up from the dragon chair, walked in front of him step by step, and said in a frosty voice, "You are so stubborn, you would rather die than save He Xiaomei, I can forgive you. If you don't accept this imperial decree, I will summon him Come into the palace and be imprisoned in the palace for a lifetime."

Yunhe suddenly hit his heart like a boulder, what did the emperor's words mean?There are so many meanings in it that he really can't figure it out.If he refuses again, he will harm Xiaomei.Xiaomei has always only loved freedom, and only belongs to freedom.If he was killed by his stubbornness, how could he forgive himself?

He tremblingly stretched out his hand to receive the order: "Minister, accept the order."

It was as if thousands of sharp knives pressed against his palm, bleeding out from the stabs.

He knelt on the ground like a sculpture, cold as ice.

The emperor said coldly like a knife: "Remember, if you live, he will live; if you die, he will die."

The sound falls, and the step is far away.

With just one word, Xiaomei's life and death are in his hands.

In a word, it also separated them from each other.

"Your Majesty," he begged, "can you let me see him so that I can speak clearly."

The emperor left without saying anything.

He called again: "Your Majesty, please rely on the seal."

The lingering sound echoed in the hall, leaving him alone, like a leaf floating in the snow, desolate and helpless.
