There is no way to go, and there is no way to live. If you have a flat boat on the river, the concubine is willing to go with the king. -----Tang Dynasty. Li Bai "Grievances"

In other words, Chen Long asked himself in his heart, he couldn't put Queen He's life and death behind, although he knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, he still decided to explore the North Palace at night. When Queen He dedicated herself that day and the golden robe slowly slipped down, Zeng Yan and Chen Long formed an overnight relationship, just because he fell in love with him at first sight. Chen Long deeply believed that it was Queen He's true feelings.

Taking advantage of the loophole in Chun Yuqiong's surveillance network, Chen Long successfully bridged the time gap, and finally escaped to Zhao Da's safe house by the Luo River before the inn was heavily surrounded. At night, the car is familiar with the road, sneaks into the Nangong tunnel, and directly enters the underground of the Beigong. In the Beigong tunnel, only there is an iron ring on the ceiling, Chen Long gritted his teeth, pulled down the iron ring, and only heard a golden bell ringing in his ears, which made people creepy in the dark night.

Chen Long's hair exploded, and he was about to escape, when suddenly the sound of "tuk tuk" three taps on the wooden board was remembered above the tunnel, and a gentle and joyful voice sounded softly: "Is it Wenlong underground?" ”

When Long Chen heard this strange and familiar voice, he was overjoyed, he didn't expect that this exit was actually the bedroom of the queen's bedroom, and whispered through the ceiling: "Niangniang, it's me!" ”

The ceiling was silently pulled up, revealing a small entrance, and a soft ladder fell in front of Chen Long. Chen Long used the soft ladder, his figure shrugged slightly, and he had already grabbed the edge of the entrance and stretched out his big head.

A touch of fragrant lips quickly sealed Chen Long's big mouth, and the two kissed bitterly. Chen Long's feet did not touch the ground, relying on his arms to support, but he did not feel hard at all, only intoxicated by the incomparably sweet and fragrant contact.

was lingering, and suddenly there was a sound of thin clothes breaking through the wind in his ears, and it seemed that there were masters lurking in all directions. Chen Long was shocked in his mind, and struggled to take off Queen He's fragrant lips and said, "Someone is here!" ”

Empress He pressed Chen Long back to the tunnel, the ceiling slowly closed, and the tunnel returned to darkness. Chen Long only heard a shrill voice sounding outside the dormitory: "Niang Niang Chitose, it seems that there is a golden bell alarm outside the palace, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Empress He's graceful and steady voice slowly sounded: "Bi Changshi, Shicai Bengong inadvertently touched the golden bell, and there was nothing abnormal. The other guards should step aside. ”

The sound of the wind breaking through the clothes sounded again, and it seemed that the guards had scattered in all directions. Chen Long listened to the sound of the clothes breaking through the wind very subtlely, and his heart trembled, this palace guard is indeed hiding a dragon and a crouching tiger, and these people are more light than themselves, I am afraid it is not far behind.

The entrance above his head slowly opened again, and this time Long Chen jumped out and saw that there was a dragon couch outside the exit. Empress He hugged Chen Longxiong's waist tightly and said, "I know that Wenlong has great powers, and he will definitely not abandon me." ”

Long Chen smiled: "How do you know that it will be me underground?" ”

The two of them were doubly careful when they spoke, biting each other's ears and saying, and their ears and temples were grinding for a while, which added to the fragrance and excitement. Queen He said: "I can no longer think of who pulled the golden bell underground, except for Wen Long, so I guessed it, I was afraid that Wen Long would be scared away, so I blurted out at that time." The mechanism here, if it is not left when you go down the tunnel from here, you can't open it from under the tunnel. ”

Long Chen shook his head and sighed: "There is such a mechanism. So how do you know how to turn it on? ”

Empress He said: "This was originally the emperor's bedroom. I have slept here for a long time, and I have seen Liu Hong crawl out of here drunk, and he was still showing off to me at that time, how could I not know? It's just that I've never gone down, and I don't know where the tunnel leads. ”

Chen Long was surprised: "This is Liu Hong's dormitory?" So why are you alone tonight? ”

Empress He's eyes began to redden, and she said, "I was claustrophobic here by Liu Hong, waiting for Liu Hong to come back and interrogate." He wants to save the royal family's face, and only let people spy on me secretly, and I am not allowed to step out of the palace gate. He seems to have been busy arranging things today, taking care of me flawlessly, and is still waiting in the front hall to listen to General Chun Yuqiong's report. I'm afraid that when he returns, everything will be unpredictable. ”

When Long Chen saw that Queen He was still alive and vibrant, he said with relief: "He is waiting for Chun Yuqiong to present my head." I came today because I was afraid that you would be hurt by Liu Hong. I don't expect him to start immediately, first, there is the eldest son Liu Wei inside, and second, there is your brother He Jin outside. ”

Queen He's eyes flashed with doubts: "My life, that's it, anyway, being claustrophobic in the palace is better than death, better than being lovesick with Wenlong every day and not seeing it." What I'm most afraid of is that he is young and wasted, he originally favored Wang Meiren, and gave Liu Xie to the Empress Dowager Dong to raise, he already had this intention, but it was just hindering my face and He Jin's power. Now that he's got my grip, I'm afraid he's really done it. ”

Seeing that she couldn't forget Liu Wen's accession to the throne, Chen Long couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and said slowly: "If you want to abolish the crown prince, you must first abolish the queen, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort from Liu Hong." I expect his first step is to find your fault. ”

"First of all, if he wants to depose you, he must have a reasonable reason to appease the ministers. Secondly, he needs to slowly weaken He Jin's strength to prevent He Jin from rebelling. These take time. ”

Queen He sighed slightly: "Liu Hong is worried about internal and external troubles, but he is still overly drunk, singing happily every night. Even...... Even let all the palace maids wear open crotch pants....alas, it's really embarrassing. Tonight, Dewenlong risked his life to save me, and I was already content. I only wish Wenlong safe and sound now, no matter what happens to me and Bian'er, it is our own providence. ”

Wenlong Zhengse said: "Niangniang, I have something that I need to tell you clearly." Even if I help Liu Wei ascend the throne in the future, it will only be to continue my political ideals, not to maintain the unification of the Han Dynasty. ”

Empress He opened her beautiful black and white eyes wide, and looked at Long Chen in a daze. Chen Long continued: "The political ideal I am striving for is a world without imperial power, where officials and the people need to be treated as equals and politically democratically consulted. His imperial power was just a symbol, but he didn't have any special powers. My power is so equal. I say that, do you understand? These words are categorical and righteous.

Empress He was extremely surprised at first, then was silent for a long time, and suddenly a fascination smile appeared on the corner of her lips and said: "Wenlong, although Liu Wei is my son, he was born to me and Liu Hong. It is good news that you can keep the symbol of imperial power for him. You are the love of my life, your ideal, how can I refuse? It's just that I don't quite understand what you said about political consultation, and I would like to listen to your detailed explanation by your side when he has the opportunity one day. ”

Chen Long saw that Empress He did not object, and the relationship between himself and Empress He would not collapse immediately, so he relaxed a little. Queen He said affectionately: "Wenlong, don't call me Niangniang in the future, only call me Lingsi." The night is getting deeper, although I want to get together with you more, I am afraid that Liu Hong will come back at any time. You don't have to worry about my safety, let's go back to Lingling. ”

Chen Long pondered for a moment, remembering that even if Empress He did not die this time, she would be insulted and poisoned by Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing in the future. Calling out Lingsi, he said his plan and said, "Although I judge that Liu Hong will not make a move on you immediately, I still don't feel at ease. If Liu Hong wants to kill me, I will definitely reciprocate. I'm here today, and I'm going to wait here for Liu Hong to come back. ”

Empress He was shocked and said, "Liu Hong is back?" You...... You want to kill the king? After saying that, he trembled, and it can be seen that he was frightened. Although she hated Emperor Ling of Han, Empress Dowager Dong and Wang Meiren, she never dared to think of assassinating Emperor Ling of Han.

Chen Long's words just now have already made it clear that he will not help her maintain the imperial power, and will only let Liu Wei retain the honorary title and have no actual power. Empress He is not stupid, she knows that Long Chen will not be used by her to fight for power and profit, she is now at an absolute disadvantage in the palace fight, and there is not much room for bargaining, I am afraid that she can only rest the heart of fighting for power and profit.

Chen Long shook his head first and nodded again: "I won't kill him for the time being." But he will become a half-idiot who has lost his short-term memory. ”

Empress He was surprised and frightened at the same time, and felt a trace of inexplicable fear at Long Chen's incomprehensibility.

Long Chen's spiritual ears caught a distant footnote, and continued: "I will hide behind the curtain for a while, and when he comes back, I will make a move." When Liu Hong wakes up tomorrow, I promise he will forget everything that happened this year. After that, he disappeared behind the curtain.

Empress He was nervous and sat down to wait for Emperor Han Ling. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but it was a few little eunuchs who accompanied Emperor Han Ling to return, Emperor Han Ling's face was unhappy, and as soon as he entered the dormitory, he scolded: "Chun Yuqiong, this idiot, didn't even catch human hair!" After that, he walked up to Queen He, grabbed her by the collar, and lifted her up: "Slut! Now you're happy! Your adulterer slipped away fast! "It's two mouths.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the little eunuchs closed the palace door early and left far away, for fear of harming the pond fish. Empress He knew that she would inevitably be beaten, so she had to bow her head and remain silent, ready to endure the storm that was about to blow.

Emperor Han Ling was about to vent his anger on Empress He, when he suddenly felt a suffocation in his throat, and there was a tall and handsome man in front of him. Emperor Han Ling was terrified and roared in fright: "Long Chen! But he was silent, and he felt that the big hand of the man in front of him was choking his throat, let alone calling people, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

Chen Long's right hand choked Emperor Han Ling's carotid artery, and the tighter and tighter it became, Emperor Han Ling's brain gradually lacked blood supply. Emperor Han Ling's cloudy eyes first exuded great fear, then stared at Long Chen like a cannibal, and finally his black eyes gradually disappeared, and he already rolled his eyes.

After all, Empress He was a lady, and she was scared like chaff next to her and shrank aside. Chen Long calculated the time and knew that irreversible damage had been caused to Emperor Han Ling's cerebral cortex, and as soon as his big hand was released, Emperor Han Ling fell backwards, Chen Long caught it with his hand and gently put it on the couch.

Empress He hid behind Long Chen, looked at Emperor Han Ling and said, "He, he's dead?" ”

Chen Long shook his head and said, "I am the most measured, he will wake up tomorrow morning." After I'm gone, you just have to rest, and how much he can remember tomorrow morning depends on his creation. ”

Only then did Empress He breathe a heavy sigh and said, "I'm scared to death!" Wenlong, since this is the case, I can't keep you anymore, and Chun Yuqiong may chase and kill you tomorrow. Go early and escape as far as possible! With that, the jade leaned forward and hugged Chen Long tightly in his arms.

Chen Long felt the softness of Empress He's chest and the friction of her flesh, looked down at her confused and helpless eyes, and sighed in his heart. Waiting for Empress He to open the tunnel on the couch, before Chen Long jumped into the tunnel, he couldn't help but turn around and finally said to Empress He: "Lingsi, the desire for power is unlimited, and the harm of palace fighting is endless, you must always think about my advice to you today, and you must not fall into it." With that, he turned his head and plunged into the deep darkness of the tunnel.
