Chapter 208: The String Breaks, The Three Thousand Obsessions
"Is the queen deliberately avoiding me? β
Empress Xiao, who stepped into the Yong'an Palace, was startled by the voice, retreated left and right, lifted the light veil, and saw the person lazily lying on his side in the soft couch, shaking a wine glass in his hand, sipping carelessly.
"What, did you want to come and see this sister of this palace?" Without hiding the displeasure between her eyebrows, Empress Xiao walked over and stood in front of the man.
Xiao Junmo raised his eyebrows and smiled, and stood up: "Where does my sister say this, brother, didn't I follow my sister's will and not enter this Cloud City if I have nothing to do, sister, you personally took the Cloud City Forbidden Army Tiger Talisman from my hand, but unfortunately, the emperor handed over the talisman to the prince, not King Yan." The man leaned over, with a mocking smile, and sneered: "My brother has to sneak into this cloud city now, if it weren't for this, how could my poor nephew be forced by the prince to rebel in Wutai, and finally end up with such a dismal end." β
"Shut up-" Empress Xiao trembled slightly, and pointed at Xiao Junmo: "This palace asks you, Yu'er has an accident, this palace ordered someone to ask you for help, thinking that you can save his life, why did you avoid it, and also, did the guards who were sent to recover Yu'er also die in your hands?"
Xiao Jun Mo was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head and laughed: "My sister is smart, but who provoked her to doubt the loyalty of her brother, you and I are my own sister and brother, could it be that my sister believes other people's words to doubt me?"
"How dare you say you didn't-"
"No!" the man looked at the man in front of him steadfastly, and swore an oath.
"Hmph, anyway, it's useless to say anything now, let's say, I don't hesitate to sneak into the palace so late, what's the matter. Empress Xiao walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and held it, waiting for the man to explain her intentions.
"It's okay, I'm afraid that my sister will be deaf in the palace, don't worry about what you should be worried about, and wait until afterwards to regret it. β
Holding the teacup in her hand, Empress Xiao frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." β
"Brother Chen, look, King Yan is also older, and it seems that my sister should tell him about his family. β
Empress Xiao's brows furrowed even deeper: "Why did you suddenly mention this matter." β
"Sister wants to know?"
"Don't beat around the bush. β
"My nephew, looks cold and strong on the outside, but in fact, his heart is as soft as water, especially for emotions, once he identifies it, he will pay unreservedly, so stupid that it makes people feel distressed, his brother is afraid, someone takes advantage of his infatuation and plays with his feelings. β
The teacup in her hand was heavily placed on the table, and Empress Xiao had already understood what Xiao Jun Mo meant, and with a sharp burst of her mouth, she spit out four words: "Who is that person!"
With a hint of a smile in his eyes, Xiao Junmo sat down, poured a cup of tea for himself, raised it to his lips, and said slowly: "The son beside the prince is flawless!"
With a "pop-" sound, the teacup in the queen's hand smashed down and fell to the ground, shattering and splashing. The sound alarmed the palace maid outside the door, and she hurriedly pushed the door in, but was thrown out by Queen Xiao with a slap.
"Get out of the palace, whoever let you in, come on, pull this slave who doesn't understand the rules out and give me a rod to blame. As soon as the words fell, several eunuchs had already entered and dragged the palace maid down.
"Niangniang spare her life, the slave maid will never dare anymore-Niangniang-"
Xiao Junmo smiled coldly and said: "Sister, why should I be angry with the palace maid, according to my brother, King Yan was just bewitched by that person, if you want him to change his mind, you should try your best to find him a family affair that is right for him, we have all been young, we know what is going on with this love thing, my sister doesn't have to worry, she became a parent, and her mind will naturally be withdrawn, who has never had a ridiculous thing when he was young." β
Empress Xiao stopped talking, thought for a while, and said: "Looking at the court, who can be worthy of Qian'er, when he said that he wanted to find someone who would hold his hand all his life, he has always been independent and responsible, I actually ignored this matter, I didn't expect him to fall into such a situation, I said how could he suddenly stand on the same line with the prince, it turned out to be ......"
"That flawless son is like a woman, clear as a green lotus, King Yan is attracted to him, there is no need to be surprising, if he is an ordinary person, it is okay to stay by King Yan's side, but it is a pity that he is full of economy, independent personality, full of ambition, and since he was a child, he has been mixed with the prince, such a person, my sister is relieved that he is close to King Yan. β
"Qian'er is older, it's time to marry a wife, this, this palace didn't expect it, this palace will go to the emperor, do you have a good mention of yì?"
"General Dingguo's granddaughter Liu Xifei, Hui quality Lanxin, intelligent, and very beautiful, I remember three years ago, she entered the palace to congratulate her sister on her birthday, it seems that she also met with King Yan, and the two talked very happily. β
"Liu Chengkui's granddaughter?Speaking of which, this palace does remember the child, he talks decently and generously, and his family background is also very compatible, this year's twenty-eight is the most beautiful time for women, yes, let her match Qian'er, but it is also reassuring, this palace will go to see the emperor. β
"Congratulations to the queen, brother, it's time to sneak out. The man bowed cynically, and when he saw Queen Xiao turn away, a chill flashed in his eyes, he straightened up, and sneered: "I'm afraid, my sister is willing, but King Yan is unwilling, this scene of chaos into a pot of porridge is really interesting." The emperor wants to marry his daughter, and the queen wants to marry his daughter-in-law, but the hearts of those two people are on that person, I don't know, the emperor is angry, will it damage the dragon body, tsk. The body flashed, and the man took a leap, and disappeared in an instant.
Blood gushed like a spring, rendering everything in sight into a dazzling red, it was the purgatory where evil spirits wailed, white bones were exposed, corpses were everywhere, broken arrows were dense, why, the huge battlefield, only one was running.
The breath condensed into a white mist in the air, the corpses under his feet were layered on top of each other, his body gradually lost consciousness, his numb legs finally couldn't move anymore, he stumbled, and fell to the ground heavily, and his whole body was splashed into a hideous one.
Afraid, so scared, where have they gone? Why, they're all gone.
"Boomβ"
There was a thunderstorm, and the sky was treacherous, and the pouring raindrops fell, cutting the body and splashing blood.
Pain, that pain instantly hit the whole body, so vivid!
A figure passed by.
Look up, call.
Zheng Yunqian's face disappeared in front of his eyes......
"Yun Qianβ"
Why can't I move?
What was that?!
"Dada...... ......The sound stopped, and in the blurred rain curtain, there stood a horse quietly, flawlessly and desperately getting up, struggling to pounce over, and there was a man lying on his stomach on the horse, which was pulled by him and fell, and fell into his arms.
The flesh and blood are blurry, and I can't see that face clearly!
Who is it......
Who is it......
The rain hit his face, and the blood slowly faded.
"Bai Yan-" Huo Ran sat up, flawlessly grabbed his chest, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.
There were thunderstorms outside the window, and the weather was so sunny during the day, but why did the weather suddenly change at night, and sure enough, it was cloudy and sunny in March.
Whoop -
Lightning tore through the night sky.
Flawless's heart jumped suddenly.
Is it because I think too much about the dream?
Lifted the quilt and went to the table, heard a soft knock on the door, and Xianyi's voice came: "Childe is okay?
Xian Yi entered the room, saw Flawless standing at the table in only his underwear, hurriedly took the cloak over, and said, "Childe will drink water and sleep, or do you want to sit for a while?" β
Because the fire in the pit was still on fire, the room was very warm, and Wufang shook his head and said, "No need, you go and rest, I can't sleep, sit for a while." β
And he added clothes. β
Flawless stroked his forehead and said, "It's a little stuffy, you don't need to add it, you go, I'll sit and sleep." β
Xian Yi looked at Flawless uneasily, but when he saw him raise his head, he frowned and said, "I'm fine, there are so many people around this courtyard, it's already annoying, don't make noise about me." β
Because the prince suddenly disappeared last time, so now the prince has sent many people to patrol around the west courtyard, this move made Wufang very unhappy, although he didn't say anything, but there was always an indescribable irritability in his words, so Xian Yi didn't insist, turned around and went out, and when he came, he still didn't feel at ease and said to Wufang: "If the son has something, call Xian Yi loudly." β
Flawless didn't answer, just raised his fingers tiredly, and then sat down at the table with his forehead propped up.
Someone is approaching!
Flawless was startled, and when he turned around, he found himself surrounded by someone, and then there was darkness in front of him.
It was a darkness that saw no light, like ...... His eyes lost their light.
"Let go of meβ"
"Hehehe-Flawless, you are finally mine, they are all dead, all of them, all of them are dead, for you, all of them are dead in my hands, Flawless, Flawless!" The voice revealed greed, the man clasped Flawless's hands fiercely, pressing his body against the table, the movement was so rough that he could even hear the click of the joints twisting and turning, Flawless gasped in pain, the man's lips rubbed against his cheeks, the bridge of his nose, the corners of his lips, his neck, and then slowly down.
"Xiao Junmo - you let go of me - I hate you!
"Hate, the more you hate, the more I will cherish you, I want you to engrave this kind of love into the bone marrow, and I will never forget it for the rest of your life. β
"Let go of meβlet go of meβ"
Taking a deep breath, Flawless opened his eyes, his cheeks moistened, and his body seemed to still feel the pain.
I dreamed again, and I sat down at this table and fell into a dream.
Xiao Junmo, this person followed him like a nightmare, making it difficult for him to sleep.
His body was trembling, and he felt a kind of fear, did something happen? This feeling, just like before Bai Yan was about to have an accident, he was actually frightened by this dream.
Standing up, trying to stand in front of the window to get some air, I took two steps, and suddenly, I felt a countercurrent rush up to my chest.
What's wrong with you?
What happened?
The body staggered back, fell backwards, and turned back to try to hold on, but the silk on the table fell to the ground together, and the teapot and teacup suddenly fell to the ground.
"Flawlessβ"
The door was pushed open, Zheng Chexuan appeared at the door drenched, and when he saw Flawless falling to the ground, he hurriedly rushed over and picked him up.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, I'm a little dizzy. Flawless shook his head, Xian Yi followed into the door, and said hurriedly: "But you want to call Doctor Kou." β
"I went and called. Zheng Chexuan put Wufang into the bed, reached out to stroke his forehead, and said, "It's so hot, when did you get cold?"
When Wufang heard this, he thought that he and Bai Yan fell into the water, it must have been cold at that time, but because of the trouble, he didn't pay attention to it, and now it is hot.
Seeing that Zheng Chexuan was soaked, Flawless reached out and pushed him, and said, "You went back to change your clothes, why did you run away without even holding an umbrella?"
"It's okay, I'm in good health, I'm not in the way, I suddenly heard thunder, don't worry, come and see you. β
"You...... Still sleeping in the study?"
Zheng Chexuan lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Childe seems to be worrying too much, could it be that he even has to ask about Chexuan's bed brother." β
"Youβ" Flawless brushed his cheeks flush and turned back toward the bed, ignoring the man.
Zheng Chexuan leaned over, stretched out his hand to brush the hair on the back of the man's head, and said with a smile: "Annoyed again?"
As he was talking, Kou Yun was pulled by Xian Yi and panted and rushed in, Zheng Chexuan let him aside, turned around without flawlessness, and didn't look at him, only stretched out his hand to let Kou Yun take his pulse.
Kou Yun carefully diagnosed for a while, and said, "It's just that I'm cold, so it's good to recuperate." After speaking, he glanced at the person standing aside, and said, "There are some patients, too unconscious, such a heavy rain, soaked and still pestle here, if it is also cold, Kou Yun will not be busy to death." β
Flawless turned his body and turned towards the bed again, and said in a nasal voice: "Drive out, Flawless is going to sleep." β
Zheng Chexuan looked flawless, then looked at Kou Yun, and had no choice but to go out.
When it was dark, Zheng Chexuan walked out of the study, and when he arrived at the door, he heard the sound of communication.
"Grandpa Wei has arrived!"
Zheng Chexuan felt strange, and walked down the steps, but saw that Gonggong Wei actually went straight to the west courtyard, he was shocked, and chased after him, and only then did he enter the courtyard, and then he heard Gonggong Wei say loudly in the courtyard: "The emperor has a decree, and the flawless prince accepts the decree." β
The door was opened, and a flawless face appeared at the door, and the Duke of Wei did not wait for him to approach, but only raised the holy decree in his hand, and said: "The emperor has a decree, the prince is flawless and smart and clever, and he has won the favor of me. With a wave of the holy decree in his hand, the person who followed behind Gonggong Wei immediately stepped forward to pull the flawless arm.
"Who dares to touch him-" Zheng Chexuan roared into the courtyard, and came to Gonggong Wei with a gloomy face, and said, "Gonggong Wei, what happened? Why did my father suddenly let Wufang enter the palace?"
"The slave doesn't know, the prince, please step aside, don't embarrass the slave. β
"I'm going with Childe. Xianyi shouted urgently.
"The emperor said that the flawless son enters the palace alone, even if he is the crown prince, he is not allowed to stop him. β
"I'm going to see my fatherβ"
"The emperor also said, let the prince enter the palace at noon today, flawless son, please!" Father-in-law Wei bowed, flawlessly glanced at Zheng Chexuan, and said: "Please father-in-law Rong Flawless go to get the mask, the emperor has decreed that Flawless cover his face." After speaking, without waiting for Father-in-law Wei to speak, Flawless turned back and entered the house, Xian Yi hurriedly followed, arrived in the house, ran to Flawless's side and said urgently: "What is this emperor going to do? Last time, I detained Gongzi for so long, what is it for this time, Gongzi can't go, go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out." β
Flawless turned around and took the mask, and then went to the small cabinet to take the brocade box containing the medicine, he knew that Lord Zheng Yuan was premeditated to put himself under house arrest this time, his health was not good, and there was a situation in the palace, and there was really no one to rely on, so he took the pill with him in case of emergency.
"Childe-" Xian Yi was so anxious that he thought for a long time, and then said: "The little marquis said that night that he would let the prince meet in the royal horse farm sixty miles away in three days, and the son entered the palace, what should the little marquis do?"
Flawless's heart was blocked, he looked back at Xian Yi, and said: "You go to tell Bai Yan, let him be fully prepared, and when he has the opportunity, he will go out of Cloud City and go back to the Eastern Capital, the situation in Cloud City is too complicated, if he doesn't go, he will definitely be implicated." β
"My good son, the little marquis is to your heart, you have to say that you are detained in the palace by Lord Zheng Yuan, even if he dies, he will not leave this cloud city for half a step. β
"If he doesn't leave, he will definitely fall into a conspiracy, Xian Yi, Lord Zheng Yuan is going to force Bai Yan with me. β
"Forcing the little marquis, the little marquis and this big Zheng ...... Princess!!" Xian Yi came to his senses, patted his forehead and said, "Then the lord is not afraid of hardness, but if the son threatens him......"
"You go to Nangong and ask him to find a way to get Bai Yan to leave, and go back to the Eastern Capital directly after leaving Cloud City. β
"But Childe, if the emperor already knows about your relationship with the little marquis, and the little marquis runs away, will he be angry with you?"
Flawless buckled up the mask, turned back, and said lightly: "I will protect myself." β
Zheng Chexuan stood at the door, quietly looking at the face under the mask, and muttered, "Why, for him, you can even ignore your own life and death." β
"Che Xuan, Flawless owes you in this life, if there is an afterlife, you will be repaid!" The man passed by, leaving only a faint fragrance, lingering in his nose and not dissipating for a long time......
Tomorrow's Preview: Mottled Dust: "Your Highness, please first." β
"This king, I want to go with my son. He stretched out his hand, leaned over slightly, pulled up his cool fingers, and held them into his palm. Flawless didn't raise his head, nor did he struggle, Ren took his hand and slowly walked into the palace gate.
The heavy door slowly closed, and the two men walked side by side, holding hands slowly, going deeper and deeper, farther and farther, until finally submerged in the lifeless palace building, and disappeared.
