Chapter 18: Every man's request
When Tang Ying sent Li Xian back to his palace, Ming Chongyan flew back to the palace as fast as he could, rushed into the shadows of Penglai Palace, and wrapped himself tightly with death and hung under the eaves.
He had obviously achieved his goal of punishing Li Xian, but he never expected to see Tang Ying break through the limit and take Baihuo to the next level.
Could it be that she knows the secret? Or found Bai Zetu? The thought sent him shudder.
He closed his eyes tightly and told himself in his heart: No, it won't. With Ah Ying's uncontrollable character, if she has a way to fight herself, she will definitely not wait, and she will definitely seek revenge on him in person as soon as possible. So, what she just played was just an accident.
He thought, relieved. He didn't have to breathe as a dead man, but he still retained some of the habits of being alive in order to disguise. If it can make him hold his breath, it means that he is nervous and scared.
It is true that a weak person is often afraid, but what he fears may not be anything in the eyes of the strong. But for Ming Chongyan, a character who is the only one in the world, there is nothing to fear. Once feared, they will do some extreme things, such as wanton killing.
In any case, Tang Ying only comprehended the new technique after the appearance of the heavenly officials, so the heavenly officials were the fuse.
Thinking of this, he sneered. The Heavenly Officials are undoubtedly subordinate to the Si Tianjian, and although they are all wastes as expected, they are really looking for trouble. They undoubtedly obeyed the emperor's orders, so that the seemingly cowardly old emperor was actually doing something behind his back?
He jumped from the eaves, dispelled the dead air on his body, and changed back to the appearance of a white-clothed Shengxue. Familiarly pushed open Wu Mei's bedroom, but found that she was not there.
Without thinking about it, I went straight to the study, and sure enough, I saw her who was still struggling to write.
Ming Chongyan looked at her at the door for a while, she was so focused that she didn't notice his arrival at all.
So, he picked up his white robe and walked to her in the study step by step.
He admired Wu Mei. Even if he takes the country in the future, he wants to keep this energetic woman as his right-hand man. After all, he wants to be the emperor of the ages, and he can't find a better minister than Wu Mei in the Manchu Dynasty.
Wu Mei saw him standing at the door, and there was a little more warmth in her heart. Whatever the man's purpose for approaching her, she believed some of the feelings were real. At least for a few of the nights when she was too busy to rest, her husband and children were not visited, nor did her sister, who was married to Jinlan, come to see her, except for the man who had been told to be a demon. will give her the gentleness of a man and the wisdom of a helper.
Despite his cold and heartbeat, he made himself feel that he was not only an empress but also a woman, not only to fulfill her duties, but also to be enjoyed.
"Come on." She held out her hand to him, and he passed his fingers, which were not warm, and sat down with her on the large dragon chair. Ming Chongyan lowered his eyes and smiled, and said in her ear: "This is the dragon chair......
Wu Mei replied indifferently: "That's right." Whoever I want to sit can sit. She thought that the amorous Li Zhi had sat with Concubine Xiao Shu, with Wu Shun and Helan Minyue in her arms, and maybe with Tang Ying in her arms. So she gives so much for the country? Why not?
Ming Chongyan was not moved, maybe Wu Mei didn't know that he didn't feel like a living person. But he still pretended to be like he should have said to her, "You sit, I dare to sit." ”
Wu Mei heard him express his loyalty, and naturally felt happy in her heart. In fact, there are big dreams in life, and some things are just coaxing each other.
"Chongyan, we will go to Luoyang in two days. Do you want to come with me, or do you want to stay and help the prince with his affairs? Wu Mei sought his opinion and showed 100% peace of mind.
Ming Chongyan knew that Wu Mei was a smart woman, and he also understood that Wu Mei had already known that Wu Mei was not an ordinary person. It's just that she now relies on him in both life and politics, and she won't easily trouble him. At the same time, looking at the harem and the government and the opposition, no one is his opponent.
Originally, he could do whatever he wanted, but now he had to worry about Tang Ying. So, he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder and said, "I'll accompany you to Luoyang." Wu Mei smiled and fell on his shoulder, "It's okay." Otherwise, I won't miss you for a few months. He mechanically and gently stroked Wu Mei's arm, thinking about how to spy on Tang Ying.
"Chongyan......" Wu Mei hooked his neck, "I'm tired." ”
"Hmm." He retracted his thoughts, picked her up very gently, and walked around to the chaise longue behind the screen, "It's okay to do it tomorrow, and I'll help you watch the folds when you sleep." ”
Wu Mei narrowed her eyes with a smile. After all, the years are unforgiving, no matter how many layers of rouge gouache are smeared, the fine lines at the corners of the eyes still can't be hidden. However, Ming Chongyan's expression did not change, and her eyes were still full of appreciation, which was really Wu Mei's enjoyment.
Ming Chongyan naturally understood, got rid of his clothes smoothly, and served him with the same gentle and mechanical service. He didn't have any feelings for Wu Mei between men and women. What heartbeat, the premise of panic is that the heart is still alive. His heart had long since become a dead mass like his body, completely sustained by dead energy.
If he performs the Zhou Gong ceremony with an ordinary woman, the woman will also be attacked by death qi over time until she dies. Only Wu Mei was under the protection of the white fire, without the slightest damage. At the same time, the white fire that was stimulated by the death qi could arouse Ming Chongyan's only feeling, so both of them were happy to do it. This is indeed a miracle.
Afterwards, Ming Chongyan put on his clothes calmly and really fulfilled his promise to show Wu Mei the twists and turns. Wu Mei rested lazily, pondering Ming Chongyan's behavior. She gave him many opportunities to meddle in government affairs, but she didn't see him have the slightest intention of causing trouble. All the political opinions are very pertinent and meticulously implemented. She even felt that Ming Chongyan wanted to create an unprecedentedly rich prosperous era more than herself.
She kind of hoped that he would reveal a flaw so that she could repent of her ambiguity and greed. But so far, there has been no motivation. Ming Chongyan is an unusual person.
She has no resistance to mysterious, handsome and gentle men. Even if you can pretend to be indifferent on the surface, your heart has long turned into a pool of spring water. For example, Ming Chongyan in front of him, and Li Chunfeng who once stepped away in the middle of the night.
When I think of Li Chunfeng, I inevitably think of his aging and death. Then she thought that she was over half a hundred years old, which was half buried in the soil in ancient times, and she couldn't help but wonder what she was trying to do with such desperate hard work.
She already had the glory and wealth, and the comfort and comfort were the opposite of what she was now. What she wanted...... Is it the kind of supreme honor that sits on the country? The thought made her tremble with excitement. She couldn't help but ask Ming Chongyan what his goal in life was.
She thought it would be power and money, because after all, he didn't dare to directly say that he was stealing the country, but he laughed and didn't answer. Under her repeated urging, he smiled mysteriously and said, "In the end, it's just to prove to an old man that he is wrong." ”
