Chapter 204: Palace Maiden Rou'er

On this day, the envoy team led by Qiancheng Jue returned to the court.

In the imperial capital, thousands of people were empty, and the people knelt on both sides of the street to welcome his return journey.

A thousand cities stood on their horses, hesitating.

This road is also too heavy.

If he is gone, won't it be a great rebellion?

It's just that although he has a certain prestige in the hearts of the people of Beiyan, he can't afford such a big gift.

The team stopped, and the people were naturally puzzled.

Today, it is the order of Yan Heng, the Emperor of Northern Yan.

It is said that the regent Qiancheng returned from an envoy and brought peace and stability to the two countries.

Therefore, the people were asked to bow down and prostrate in gratitude for his merits.

Although Qiancheng did not know this order, he also understood it.

If you just walk over like this, it will be a big rebellion.

Not only will the people hate him, but the courtiers will also be more inclined to Yan Heng because of his rebellion.

"Master, this ...... How is this good? ”

Jing Feng naturally understands the key.

This is just a trap set by Yan Heng for him.

"Wait a minute."

He called a man, and after a few words, he galloped away in the direction of the palace.

Next, it's time to wait.

Qiancheng definitely wants to see what Yan Heng will say.

"Jing Feng."

He tilted his head, his face tense, and lowered his voice.

"Go and visit the crowd and see who gave the order today."

Jing Feng nodded, turned his horse's head, and walked towards the back of the group.

This is the hour of the sun.

In the summer, if Yan Heng delayed it for another hour or two to put the person who went to communicate back.

Isn't it uncomfortable for the soldiers of the team to wait like this at the end of the day.

In this way, Yan Heng is in a dilemma.

If he had known that, he should have set off later.

However, no matter when he sets off, Yan Heng always has a way to make it difficult for him.

His hatred for himself has increased to this point.

Come to think of it, it should be the relationship between Dongyan and Beiyan that extended the five-year peace agreement this time.

That was what Qin Changhuan bought with his life.

Yan Heng probably felt that he was so prosperous in Dongshen, and it would be a matter of endangering the society in the future.

That's why ......

He is suspicious by nature, and this time, he must not be able to escape.

However, here and now, he is still the time to employ people, so naturally he can't go too far.

"Come on, camp on the spot."

He commanded to go down, and everyone behind him was stunned.

He expected that Yan Heng would detain people and prevent them from coming back so soon, and Yan Heng's spies would always take some time to go back.

Even so, at noon, don't starve your brothers who have returned from hard work.

"Song Zhi, go buy some mung bean soup, Xiaoliu, you go buy some food that can simply fill your stomach, and call a few people together."

When the money had been distributed, everyone dismounted and repaired on the spot.

"Brothers, let's wait a minute, wait for Your Majesty's instructions."

Qiancheng Jue shouted at the team.

At this time, the people didn't know what was going on.

But the emperor told them to wait here, but they couldn't.

Jing Feng came back and talked to Qiancheng Jue, but it was not much different from what he thought in his heart.

All of this is really Yan Heng's strategy.

"Go back to the palace, call the kitchen staff at home, come out and give a bowl of mung bean soup to the people, and tell the people that all this is the credit of Your Majesty. All the money came from the regent's palace. ”

He wanted Yan Heng to know.

He can control it all, it just depends on whether he wants to or not.

Jing Feng was ordered to do it.

After a while, the person who bought the food and mung bean soup returned.

There are restaurants all over the street, and it's easy to buy something to eat, and mung bean soup is simple.

"Brothers, let's eat quickly, when we are full, Your Majesty's order will come, and we will go into the city and go home!"

Qiancheng said in a loud voice.

"Good!"

The chorus of the team was endless.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the envoy's team, and he was able to handle a little.

After touching a stick of incense, everyone was full of food and drink, and now, there was really no complaint.

In the more than a month since the envoy to Dongyan, in fact, most of the team knows the temperament of Qianchengjue.

They never get angry easily, and they have similar food and clothing to their ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, this time, they naturally have no resentment in their hearts.

Qiancheng turned over and got on his horse, and he saw the person who had gone to report the news from a distance.

The eyebrows frowned slightly and then stretched, the peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and a trace of narrowness was fleeting.

"Return, return to the prince, Your Majesty said, please let us enter the city."

He gasped for some breath before he slurred a little.

"Your Majesty also said that the prince is a person who has made meritorious contributions to the community, and he can afford to bear the burden of the people kneeling down the street."

He kept his head down tightly, not daring to say anything more.

The people behind Qiancheng Jue also had many doubts, and they didn't dare to get on the horse.

There is a wind blowing, but in the huge imperial capital, it is unusually quiet.

The voice of the person who replied was quite high, which was also what the emperor meant.

How could a thousand cities not know?

However, the soldiers are coming to block, and since Yan Heng wants to trap him in unkindness and injustice, he will be extremely obedient.

After thinking for a while, he jumped off his horse again, and in the direction of the palace, lifted his placket, and knelt down.

"It is difficult for the minister to take on this ceremony, and the minister can have a meritorious service, all of which are trusted and taught by His Majesty, and the minister kneels down to thank His Majesty!"

His face was indifferent, but his gaze was Akagi.

Bow down and buckle your head, extremely sincere.

The people who knelt down along the street were impressed by his deep swing.

Throughout the ages, there have been many meritorious heroes.

But there are still people who have no king's law and ask the people to kneel down along the streets.

But Qiancheng Jue was so grateful to the emperor for his grace and bowed down, which was naturally more respected.

"Brothers, lead the horses into the city!"

With an order, Qiancheng Jue and Jing Feng walked ahead.

Everyone in the rear tightened the reins.

Horses' hooves clattered, and hundreds of horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone pavement, making a deafening sound.

However, it is better than everyone riding by.

The procession marched into the imperial capital.

Every time Qiancheng walked on a street, he would kneel and bow in the direction of the palace as if he had just entered the city.

The procession behind him knelt with him towards the palace.

This news quickly spread to the study in the palace.

Yan Heng was reviewing the advice of the ministers.

He thought that the news sent back by Shicai must have made Qiancheng have no way out.

But who knows, it is so.

"What did you say?"

His brow furrowed, his complexion changed slightly, and his eyes were full of rage.

With a thud, he swung all the folds on the table to the ground.

"Presumptuous, presumptuous!"

In the upper study, the eunuch and the palace maid knelt on the ground.

Hood also trembled, not daring to speak, or even to step forward to hand over a cup of tea.

Yan Heng got up angrily and paced back and forth on the side of the dragon chair.

"He is like this, he is like this!"

He thought he had forgotten.

He, the imperial uncle, is so capable.

"Bastard!"

He roared again, knocking over the tea that Hood had just served him, and knocked it to the ground.

The teacup was not damaged, but the hot tea splashed on the hand of a palace maid.

The royal front couldn't lose her etiquette, so she stubbornly carried the boiling water, and she couldn't help but tremble with pain all over her body.

She tried to control it, but she couldn't.

Yan Heng was originally angry, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that a shadow in front of him was very abnormal, and his eyes naturally poked over.

The palace maid lowered her head, panicked, for fear that someone would find out.

"Oh, it's interesting, it's interesting."

Yan Heng looked at the palace maid, and suddenly had a plan, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and her eyes revealed calculations.

He stepped forward slowly, leaned down and raised his hand to hold the palace maid's arm, pulling her up from the ground.

"Hot?"

He asked softly.

The palace maid didn't dare to speak, but when he asked, her head lowered.

"The slave is wrong, it's all the slave's fault, ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."

She said humble words, and her voice trembled.

No one dared to look up, but Hood had a smile on his lips.

He has followed Yan Heng for so many years, so he naturally understands what he is going to do.

He lifted his body slightly, and with a wave of his hand, everyone hurried away through the side door.

Hood, on the other hand, hurriedly cleaned up the teacup stains on the floor, and then left the upper study.

At this moment, there are only two people left in the room, the palace maid Rou'er and the emperor Yan Heng.

"Look up."

His tone suddenly became unusually gentle.

The people who serve in front of the emperor are naturally superior.

The palace maid trembled and raised her head slightly, but her eyes didn't even dare to look at Yan Heng's clothes, only to look elsewhere.

The lower, the better.

In this palace, there are countless palace maids who want to be favored by him and ascend to the sky in one step.

is the first one who is afraid of him like this, but can bear it so much.

He let go of her slender arms and reached out to pick her chin, forcing her to look at himself.

"Since Gonggong Hu left you here, is it possible that you have been afraid of me like this?"

His tone was steady, and there was not a hint of anger to be heard.

and Yan Heng, who was angry just now, are completely two extremes.

The palace maid Rou'er pursed her lips tightly, plucked up her courage, and then raised her eyes slightly.

A pair of charming eyes like spring water looked into Yan Heng's eyes like that.

Even in the heart.

Before she looked up, she hadn't seen anything.

Raising his head at this moment, this face was actually somewhat similar to Qin Changhuan in a trance.

Yan Heng only felt pleasantly surprised in his heart, but at the same time, he was deeply hateful.

After a moment's pause, he hugged Rou'er tightly into his arms.

Rou'er was naturally startled, but he didn't dare to struggle.

She doesn't want to be favored by the emperor like this, then she won't even have the chance to get married, and she may die of old age in the palace in the future.

But what could she do?

Yan Heng could feel that the person in his arms was trembling violently.

But the more she trembled, the more the fire burned in her heart.

In the study, the atmosphere suddenly became dense.

Yan Heng only felt that the breathing sound of the woman in her arms was a naked seduction.

"What's your name?"

"Rou, Rou'er."

"How old are you this year?" His warm breath sprayed on her ears at the same time.

The numbness of her body made Rou'er have nowhere to hide, but she couldn't help shaking her body.

"Return, go back to the emperor, the slave is sixteen this year."

Yan Heng remembered that the year Qin Changhuan left was also sixteen.

His hand climbed up to her front and pulled hard, revealing large swaths of her skin.

Rou'er exclaimed.
