Chapter 21: The Emperor's Heart

The son has seen his father. Dugu Liancheng saluted the old emperor who was sitting on the throne of Jinluan. His head hung slightly, and a hint of coldness swept over his lowered eyes.

"Haha, hurry up. The old emperor laughed happily, but everyone present knew that there was no truth in this laugh, after all, the most difficult thing to guess since ancient times was the heart of the emperor.

After Dugu Liancheng responded, he raised his head and met the old emperor's smile, Dugu Liancheng looked much more indifferent, as if the person on the throne of Jinluan was not his father, but a high emperor.

In the face of Dugu Liancheng's attitude, the old emperor was not annoyed, because he had always been the most affectionate to the emperor's family.

"The appearance of Liancheng and my impression is the same. The old emperor said with a look of nostalgia.

Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng sneered in his heart, his father would really open his eyes and tell nonsense, he may have forgotten that when his mother gave birth to him, he didn't look at him, and he sent him to the cold and biting frontier less than 100 days after his mother's death.

The father also remembered his son's retainers, which surprised his sons. Dugu Liancheng said with a slight irony.

In the end, he is the one who is the emperor, and when he heard this, the old emperor was not angry, he naturally understood the mockery in Dugu Liancheng's words. Raising his eyebrows, the old emperor's shining eyes swept Dugu Lianyu's glance.

Dugu Lianyu came into contact with the light in the eyes of the old emperor, and he clearly collected the light.

"Father, my son has a request, I don't know whether to say it or not. Dugu Lianyu stood up by mistake and bowed his head.

"Tell me what you wanted. The old emperor said with a smile, but no one knew the meaning of the smile.

Dugu Lianyu raised his eyes, and a faint light skimmed over Dugu Liancheng's body, and then froze on the old emperor's body.

"The fourth brother has guarded my Dayan frontier for so many years, and his hard work is high, and his son thinks that his father should give the fourth brother a title as a consolation. "Dugu Lianyu's words are reasonable, it seems to be for the consideration of Dugu Liancheng, but in fact, he just wants to empty the military power of Dugu Liancheng. If Dugu Liancheng is crowned king, according to the rules of Dayan, he is not allowed to be in charge of military power.

In recent years, the power of Dugu Liancheng in the frontier has become stronger and stronger, in addition to the huge army, it has even reached the surrounding countries. This made the old emperor, who had always been high, how could he stand it, and naturally found a way to recall him back to Chang'an and take back his military power.

As soon as Dugu Lianyu's words came out, the ministers who stood in Dugu Lianyu's faction stood up one after another, saying that Dugu Liancheng should be given a title.

Dugu Liancheng naturally understands the intentions of these people, but he is not stupid.

"Brother Huang has said, guarding the Dayan frontier is really what the subjects of Dayan should do, if the father and emperor really give his sons a title, I am afraid that the soldiers of the frontier should laugh at their sons. Dugu Liancheng said word by word, the meaning of his words was clear, he was suppressing the old emperor with the military power of the frontier. It's just that he just came back and wanted to take back his military power, these people were too anxious and too confident, Dugu Liancheng sneered in his heart.

The army on the frontier is not enough, but it is strong enough, and he believes that the old emperor does not dare to act rashly at present.

The old emperor's smile froze instantly, but it was only for a moment, he was a little annoyed in his heart, the person in front of him was no longer a three-year-old child in his hands, and now Dugu Liancheng's wings were full enough, and he couldn't move him.

"Haha, let's not talk about the title for the time being, Liancheng is dedicated to the country and the people, I am very relieved!" This is not to mention for the time being, it is also just a delaying strategy.

The old emperor clearly knew that for the present, if it continues, I am afraid that it will seem too hasty, and I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the courtiers, after all, Dugu Liancheng has made outstanding achievements in recent years.

Dugu Lianyu gritted his teeth secretly, hung his head and said nothing, and a dark light flashed in his cold eyes. I don't know how many people will stand on Dugu Liancheng's side in today's scene? Sure enough, Dugu Liancheng is a stumbling block for him Dugu Lianyu, so sooner or later one day he will get rid of him and scatter ashes.

The corners of Dugu Liancheng's mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was clear, very good, this court is not all his Dugu Lianyu people, then the rest will be on his side of Dugu Liancheng, Dayan's country, his Dugu Liancheng will be decided at the moment of return. Not only for his mother who died that year, but also for revenge on this so-called father, he has to decide.

"After a long journey, Liancheng must be extremely tired, why don't you go back to the mansion I prepared for you to rest first!"

"Thank you to your father, and the son retired. Dugu Liancheng bowed slightly, and walked to the outside of the Jinluan Hall under the gaze of everyone.

The old emperor looked at Dugu Liancheng's back and squinted, this son seemed to be a little beyond his imagination.

Dugu Lianyu stared at it, and the ghostly light precipitated in his eyes was like a stinging light on his throat, shining with sharp sharp corners. Du-Gu-Lian-Cheng, reading the name of Dugu Liancheng word by word in his heart, the green tendons on the back of his clenched hand bloomed.

Ruan Wushuang, who was pulled by Dugu Anle and stood next to the wall of the Vermilion Palace, sighed helplessly for the hundredth time, sure enough, she shouldn't have promised Dugu Anle, she should go back directly.

"Brother Liancheng, here. Dugu Anle seemed to see Dugu Liancheng who had just come out of the Jinluan Palace, and she waved her hand vigorously, as if she was afraid that Dugu Liancheng would not see it.

Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang suddenly raised his eyes, only to see the white of the vermilion palace wall as the background walking towards this side, and the man with a graceful posture in every move was like the god in the painting walking into the mortal world at this moment, followed by a guard dressed in black. It just formed a contrast with him, making him more and more dazzling and more gorgeous.

"Wait for me?" He didn't seem to see Ruan Wushuang behind Dugu Anle, his faint eyes fell directly on Dugu Anle's body, his voice was clear and cold, but he could hear a trace of warmth.

"Hmm. Dugu Anle nodded, and nodded more cheerfully.

"What's the matter?" Dugu Liancheng's clear eyes flashed with doubt.

When Dugu Anle heard this, he pulled Ruan Wushuang behind him to him, and his good-looking brows wrinkled when he saw this. Silent, waiting for Dugu's happy next.

Ruan Wushuang was a little confused for a moment, so before the whole person could react, he had been pulled in front of Dugu Liancheng.

"Brother Liancheng, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Ruan Cheng, Ruan Wushuang, and An Le's friend. Dugu Anle introduced with great interest.

Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang first glanced at Dugu Anle, it turned out that Dugu Anle was a friend of her? Was it because of the so-called instant acquaintance in her mouth, or because of the rescue on the street that day? But she was trying to save her with a purpose! At this time, Ruan Wushuang's eyes flashed with a touch of complexity.

At this time, Dugu Liancheng's eyes fell on Ruan Wushuang's body, this woman combed her hair in a simple bun, only a butterfly hairpin was pinned between the buns, her eyebrows were not drawn, her contemplative eyes seemed to be stretching the morning light, there was a faint innate coldness between her soft eyebrows, and her slightly pale lips were gently pursed, but this did not affect her beautiful face, the lilac pleated gauze skirt brought out her perfect figure, and she was born a beautiful woman, Dugu Liancheng saw too much, so that Ruan Wushuang did not stir up any water streaks in his heart.

"Well, it's okay to be born. Dugu Liancheng said in a light tone. As he spoke, his eyes moved away from Ruan Wushuang.

Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang's ethereal thoughts were pulled back, and the corners of his mouth were pulled coldly, why didn't her sound so comfortable with his words?

"Naturally, it can't compare to the elegance of the four princes. Ruan Wushuang said in a light tone like him.

Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't care about Ruan Wushuang's words, and after saying a word to Dugu Anle, he turned around and left, leaving only Dugu Anle and Ruan Wushuang with a touch of outstanding backs.

It wasn't until many years later that the two couldn't help but smile when they recalled their first meeting today.
