Chapter 124: The Tyrant's Favorite Concubine
Ning Shijun was favored quickly, and he fell out of favor quickly, and the harems who were secretly worried because of Luo Yu's rise now let go of their hearts and refocused on Wen Ye.
I have to say that Luo Yu's appearance gave hope to those neglected servants, and they began to believe that Wen Ye really liked men, rather than summoning them into the palace as decorations.
In this case, they always have to fight, whether it is true or false, Wen Ye's favor will bring great benefits to them and the forces represented behind them, people are profit-oriented, and this has nothing to do with gender.
So during Luo Yu's house arrest, the war in the harem of Cangguo, which had been resting for a long time, burned again, and those servants, whether they were willing or forced to enter the palace, began to approach Wen Ye for various purposes, and staged one drama after another to compete for favor.
Can you imagine a group of men intriguing? It turns out that a group of careerists are also ruthless and do everything, no better than women.
If Luo Yu can go out, he may be able to see the real harem, but it is precisely because he can't go out that the palace he is in has become the most peaceful place in the harem.
Of course, this tranquility may have been caused by Luo Yu, and Tassel and other palace maids who were waiting for Luo Yu all felt that it was called desolation.
Because Wen Ye gave a gag order, there are very few people who know the reason why Luo Yu was under house arrest, and the tassel happens to be one of them, and it is precisely because he knows that the tassel is in a panic these days, and he is really worried that if the emperor is unhappy, he will give the master a cup of poisoned wine to death, and then cut them all together.
The emperor has done a lot of things in the nine clans, what is it to kill the people of one of their palaces?
Fortunately, after so many days, the emperor did not issue any other orders except for the house arrest master, which made the tassel feel a lot more at ease, maybe the emperor treats the master is indeed special, alas...... If the master is not obsessed, with the emperor's favor, why not be prosperous and rich.
Because of Wen Ye's secrecy, everyone thought that the prince of Xia Guo had died violently, and Tassel didn't know that Luo Yu's original identity was the prince of Xia Guo, and he didn't know that the person was the general of Xia Guo that day, so he just thought that the lover of the master before entering the palace came to him.
In the tassel's view, even if it is a lover, it is a thing of the past, when he enters the palace, he is the emperor's person, and there is no possibility of interacting with other men, how can the master do that kind of foolish thing?
The master's behavior at that time was called defection, and what he said was strict was fornication, what is the difference between this and wearing a green hat on the emperor? Ordinary people can't bear it, let alone the Ninety-Five, the master's approach is simply to find death.
To please the emperor, what does the master want in this palace, how can it be better than following a man to the end of the world, let go of glory and wealth and do not enjoy it, but he is bent on looking for death, what is not a ghost?
I can't figure it out......
But things have come to this point, Tassel thinks that these are useless, and now he is thinking about how to help the master win back the emperor's heart. There is no way, with such a master of Zhan Wu, she, a henchman, always has to be more attentive.
Anyway, now that the master still occupies the most honorable place in the entire palace, he still has a chance to regain his favor. As long as the master regains his favor, the former glory and wealth will naturally return.
When various thoughts flashed in Tassel's heart, Luo Yu put down the pen in his hand and suddenly asked such a sentence.
"Tassel, who do you know in the palace?"
Hearing Luo Yu ask this sentence, Tassel was overjoyed, she was really afraid that the master would stay silent like this, and now she knows that it is good to take the initiative.
"It's not much, but there are two sisters who happen to be working next to the emperor."
"What else?"
Besides? Isn't that enough? Tassel looked down and thought for a moment.
"I also have some friendship with Ming's father-in-law, it's not deep, it's really okay to pass on a word."
"What am I going to do with the message? Forget it, you'll find a way to get me a map of the palace later. ”
The squire can't go out, what do you want the map for? It can't be what she thinks......
"I don't know what kind of map the squire wants? Let's talk about it in detail, slaves and maids are ready. ”
"Map of the dungeon." As he said this, Luo Yu raised his head and looked at the tassel.
This is the first time that Tassel has looked at Luo Yu, and those good-looking eyes are like a deep well, as if they want to suck people in, Tassel's heart suddenly jumped, and a cool breath rose from the soles of his feet.
These days, Luo Yu has been thinking about how to send Li Wu away, but there is no good way, manpower is a big problem. Although the guards in the embassy can be used, it is too difficult for them to infiltrate the palace in a short period of time, and the palace controlled by Wen Ye is simply an iron bucket.
Maybe it's a good practice to take advantage of the people around you, Luo Yu has learned some hypnosis, and it is no problem to make people completely loyal in a short time.
After a moment, Tassel lowered his head.
"The slave knows."
Hearing that the tassel should come down, Luo Yu turned his head and continued to read, not at all feeling how shocking his behavior just now was.
Tassel always felt uneasy in her heart, and she decided to persuade her master before things could be cleaned up, it was best to make him give up the dangerous plan in his heart.
Besides, the emperor has gone to the side hall to rest in the Tianque Palace these days, and he has never seen the master, plus the appearance of Liu Shijun, the tassel is really afraid that the master will be left out in the cold.
After going through the prepared words in her heart, Tassel observed Luo Yu's expression as she spoke, after all, now Luo Yu's image in her heart has gone to the other extreme.
"I heard that the emperor summoned Liu Shijun to serve in the Qinzheng Palace in the past two days."
It is said that when Liu Han asked him to go to the Qinzheng Palace again to brush his favorability, Wen Ye didn't know what to think, and he actually put people in it for the first time, and then passed him to grind ink and add fragrance for several days, and Liu Shijun was in the limelight in the palace for a while.
"Hmm"
Luo Yu didn't say anything about this.
Looking at Luo Yu like this, the tassel was really anxious, originally she thought that as long as she curried favor with the emperor, the master would have a chance, but the premise of this was that the master had a heart, but now Luo Yu has no intention of this at all.
"Does the servant want to save the emperor's heart?"
"What's wrong?"
"The emperor is the king's reliance in the palace, if he loses the emperor's favor, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the prince to gain a foothold in the palace."
"I see."
Luo Yu understands all these truths, but now he must save Li Wu's life in order to continue to stay in this world.
Compared to this matter, Ling Wu's favorability can be brushed later.
Seeing the tassel and wanting to say more, Luo Yu added again.
"I'll find a way to meet the emperor, but that's after I get people out, so there's no need to worry."
"...... "Don't worry about that?" She's going to be scared to death, okay?
Knowing that she couldn't persuade her master, Tassel had to give up, hoping that this matter would not be discovered by the emperor, otherwise she would not be able to cut off ten heads.
Hell robbery or something...... It's crazy!
……
And so for a few more days, all of them went according to plan, except for one thing.
I heard that Liu Shijun was named a noble monarch by the emperor, and the four noble monarchs were finally together, and now this matter is spread everywhere in the palace, not only that, but the emperor also mentioned several talented people to Shijun, and all kinds of changes have undoubtedly aggravated the war in the harem.
When Tassel heard about this in the imperial dining room, he was asking someone about the time of the prison duty, and after listening to it, he just smiled bitterly and left with the meal prepared for Luo Yu.
It didn't take long for the newly promoted Liu Shijun, no, it should be called Liu Guijun now to come to Tianque Palace, and somehow, the guards at the door did not stop him.
When Liu Hanrang led his henchmen into the hall, Luo Yu was leaning on the recliner reading a book, although he had heard the voice before, this was the first time Luo Yu had seen this Liu Guijun.
To be honest, Liu Hanrang is very good-looking, his handsome appearance makes him look clean, and the smile on the corner of his mouth at any time makes him feel inexplicably intimate, this is a man who is easy to make people feel good.
When Tassel saw him come in, he quickly knelt down to say goodbye, as did the rest of the temple.
Luo Yu got up from the chair and bowed to Liu Hanrang, which was considered a salute.
Now that Liu Hanrang's position is higher than him, Luo Yu must salute, but it is limited to ordinary etiquette, Luo Yu has never even knelt for Wen Ye, let alone kneel for Liu Hanrang, but fortunately, Liu Hanrang didn't care about this.
"Ning Shijun, can you talk about it alone?"
Liu Hanrang looked at the tassels beside Luo Yu, and the meaning was self-evident.
Luo Yu nodded, let the tassel retreat, Liu Hanrang also withdrew the people around him, so only Luo Yu and Liu Hanrang were left in the hall.
"I really didn't expect to meet Prince Ning in this situation."
"You know me?"
"Ning Shijun, you probably don't know that we met once when we were young, at the state banquet of our Shang Kingdom."
Luo Yu didn't make a sound, Liu Hanrang sighed and continued, but his voice was not as relaxed as at the beginning.
"At that time, you were already the prince of the Xia Kingdom, and you were loved by thousands of people, and I was just a poor worm born by the dancing girl, although you were a prince, but I was not as good as the palace people."
Liu Han seemed to be reminded of those unbearable years, and the warm temperament on his body was much lighter.
"At that time, I saw that you were very envious of the stars holding the moon, and I thought that it would be nice if one day I could do this, but my father had too many children, how could he think of a child born to a lowly dancing girl?"
“……”
"I stayed in the cold palace for ten years, and finally met my father as I wished, he asked me to replace my eldest brother who was the crown prince to be a proton in Cangguo, and my good father actually remembered me because of this."
Liu Hanrang chuckled, but his voice became even colder.
"After I arrived in Cangguo, I entered the palace unexpectedly and became the emperor's chamberlain. My father, the emperor, somehow learned the news, actually took my mother out of the cold palace, and asked me to curry favor with the emperor and benefit the Shang country on this condition. ”
"It's a pity that he knows that I haven't had the opportunity to see the emperor since then except when I met for the first time, so how can I be favored? Later I learned that this was the case with all the princes in this palace, with one exception. ”
Liu Hanrang's gaze fell on Luo Yu, and Luo Yu immediately understood what he meant-that person was himself.
"Presumably Ning Shijun also knows that the monarch of Cangguo likes men with delicate appearances, and the appearance of the servant in this palace has more or less this characteristic, and the other three nobles are even more so."
"Although you have not been crowned as a noble monarch, you are the first person who has the opportunity to step into the Tianque Palace."
In Cangguo, the emperor summoned people to sleep in the palace of the concubines, and only on that day did the emperor not want to summon people to sleep, so he stayed in his own bedroom, that is, Tianque Palace.
The existence of the Tianque Palace is to prevent the heirs of the future generations from indulging in women's sex, and there has not been an emperor in the past dynasties who let the concubines live in the Tianque Palace.
So when Wen Ye settled Luo Yu in his bedroom, he shocked many people, but these things didn't reach Luo Yu's ears.
"The emperor's bedroom has never allowed others to enter, I guess you must be very much like the person in the emperor's heart."
Could it be Ling Wu's residual consciousness? Luo Yu thought about things in his heart, and lost his mind for a moment.
It was at this time that Liu Hanrang took out a dagger and inserted it directly into his left chest, Luo Yu couldn't stop it, and saw that the blood soaked Liu Hanrang's clothes.
Liu Hanrang's body staggered, but he didn't fall, and when he looked at Luo Yu, a smile appeared on his pale face.
"If I had done it before, I would not have used such a despicable method, but now I have to do it. I have a hunch that even if you fall out of favor, you are a potential threat. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Hanrang fell. The sound alarmed the people outside the hall, and when Liu Hanrang's henchmen rushed in with people, what they saw was the picture of Liu Hanrang lying on the ground with a dagger in his chest, and Luo Yu was standing not far away.
"Guijun, what's wrong with you?"
Hong Fei shook Liu Hanrang, and looked at Luo Yu with an accusatory face.
"Ning Shijun, my noble monarch just came to visit you with kindness, how can you do this!"
“……”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Luo Yu.
Tassel looked at this posture, his master injured the nobleman, it was okay, and he hurriedly walked to the front.
"Red girl, there must be some misunderstanding in this, how can my servant hurt Liu Guijun?"
"Misunderstanding? What can be misunderstood? Only Ning Shijun and my noble monarch are in the palace, who is he? ”
Indeed, there are only Luo Yu and Liu Hanrang in this hall, and there are no cameras and fingerprint detection in ancient times, Luo Yu's biggest suspicion is that he can't run away.
How is that good...... Tassel was afraid in his heart, the emperor was already dissatisfied with the servant, and now that this happened again, Tassel felt that his head was about to move.
Wen Ye came faster than Luo Yu imagined, I was afraid that he would come as soon as he heard it, followed by several imperial doctors.
As soon as he entered the hall, he smelled a faint smell of blood, and Wen Ye's face immediately sank, which made everyone's hearts tighten.
Liu Hanrang had practiced a little medical skills, although his dagger was stabbed in the chest, but it just deviated from the heart, and he would not die immediately, but it was very difficult to do so, and he would return to the West Heaven if he was not careful.
Even if Liu Hanrang succeeded, if he couldn't stop the bleeding in time, he would die of excessive blood loss, this was a gamble, and Liu Hanrang bet with his life.
When Wen Ye came in, Liu Hanrang's face was already completely white, Wen Ye glanced at Luo Yu lightly, didn't say a word, picked up Liu Han and let him go to the side hall, and a group of imperial doctors and palace maids hurriedly followed, and in a moment, only Luo Yu and tassels were left in the hall.
"Squire, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
……………
In the side hall, the imperial doctor quickly helped Liu Hanrang stop the bleeding, bandaged the wound, and after two pillars of incense, Liu Hanrang woke up.
Although his face was still white and terrible, he had no worries about his life.
"The Emperor's ......"
Wen Ye stood by the window, heard Liu Hanrang's voice, turned around, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"How?"
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, Han Rang is fine."
Wen Ye heard the imperial doctor talk about Liu Hanrang's injury, and he was almost dead.
"During this time, you can rest for a while, and I will have someone bring you that purple ginseng in a while......"
Soon, the things were delivered, in addition to the precious purple ginseng, there were also many valuable rewards, but Wen Ye did not mention how to punish Luo Yu.
"I'll go back to the Qinzheng Palace to deal with government affairs first."
After a conversation, Wen Ye stood up and walked out.
When he walked to the door, Liu Hanrang suddenly stopped him.
"He's the one in the emperor's heart, isn't he?"
Wen Ye paused for a moment and left without saying anything.
Seeing this, Liu Hanrang suddenly fell down.
He really just wanted the right to be given by Wen Ye at first, but a person who had never been loved, and suddenly being spoiled, he couldn't help but be moved.
This time, Liu Hanrang would take such a big risk, and he may not have the intention of testing Wen Ye, he wanted to know what he was in Wen Ye's heart?
Now he knows.
Maybe he had been thinking wrong, he thought that Ning Yuqing was just like that person, but now he felt that Ning Yuqing was not like him, he was the person Wen Ye loved.
"A man who is favored by the heavens at all times......"
