Lu Haosheng's eyes flashed with worry, and he wanted to say something, but King Qi had already waved his hand and said, "This king knows that you are for my good, but this king also knows it very well in his heart...... Well, you go down and rest first, and then talk about it later. “

Lu Haosheng saw that King Qi had a tired look on his face, hesitated for a moment, finally got up, saluted, turned around and retreated, walked to the door, paused for a moment, and finally turned back and said: "Your Highness, think twice about everything, humble duties are still the same sentence, Taoguang and obscurity are the best way to ......!" “

King Qi nodded, Lu Haosheng smiled bitterly and sighed, and retreated.

King Qi only felt dizzy, his mind was very chaotic, his arms were propped up on the case, his head was pestle, his eyes were closed, and he was thinking about what had happened recently, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Like many people, the King of Qi was of course very strange about the emperor's arrangement, why did he lose the power of the prison country to the crown prince when he went out to the north of Beijing?

King Qi also once thought that the emperor had the heart to abolish the prince, the king of Han was crazy, the prince was disabled, and the position of the prince should be the flower of his own family.

His mother was a princess of the previous dynasty, and his father was the current emperor.

The throne of the prince is none other than himself.

However, the emperor handed over the position of supervising the country to the crown prince, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and the king of Qi was also surprised, of course he understood the weight of the supervising country, and the emperor's move was almost to explain to the world that his heir to the throne was still the crown prince, and he seemed to use this way to counter the message of the people of the world about the abolition of the prince.

After the crown prince was in charge of the country, the Qi Wang Party suffered the most serious blow, but the King of Qi was helpless, and faintly, a trace of fear rose in the heart of the King of Qi.

This fear did not come from the crown prince, but from the emperor.

Could it be that the emperor never thought of handing over the throne to himself from the beginning to the end? That being the case, then why did he let himself out of the palace and open the palace immediately after the fall of the Han Dynasty, and even turned a blind eye to the former Han Wang's party defecting to his own door?

Without the emperor's favor and support, King Qi only felt that the road ahead of him was bleak.

In a daze, he heard a soft cry in his ears, King Qi raised his head in a daze, and a delicate face appeared in front of his eyes, seeing this face, King Qi suddenly sat upright, and finally showed a smile on his tired face, "Ling Shuang, you haven't slept yet?" ”

Mo Lingshuang's eyes showed a look of worry, and she said softly: "Lord Wang, they said that you haven't rested yet, slave maid...... Slaves come and take a look......! She was holding a jade plate in her hand, and there was a jade bowl in it, "This is the longan and red date porridge that the slave maid boiled for you, you can drink it while it's hot." ”

King Qi smiled and said, "It's hard for you." He picked up the jade bowl, picked up the spoon and took a bite, and immediately praised: "Your craftsmanship is getting better and better, fragrant and delicious." ”

"The prince seems to be in a bad mood lately." Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Lord Wang, take care of your body." ”

King Qi ate a few bites, put down the bowl, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my father and the emperor are on a northern tour and ordered me to assist the prince in supervising the country, so there are a lot more ...... things!" He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Come, Lingshuang, sit down and talk to me." ”

Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, but sat down gently.

The lights flickered, Ling Shuang looked delicate and moving under the lights, Ling Shuang sat sideways on the edge of the chair, looking a little nervous, Bei Yan bit her lower lip gently, lowered her head, but did not speak.

King Qi sighed, and finally said, "Ling Shuang, are you used to life here?" ”

"Huh?" Ling Shuang raised his head and saw that King Qi was staring at him, so he quickly lowered his head and said softly: "Ling Shuang has been favored by the prince and has always taken good care of her, and she is very grateful in her heart, slave and maid ......!" ”

King Qi had already interrupted: "You have been by my side for a long time, but ...... But you don't seem to have adjusted to life around me. ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves don't have ......! Ling Shuang said softly: "To be able to serve by the prince's side, right...... It's a blessing for slaves and maids......! ”

"Ling Shuang, has there always been a gap between us?" King Qi frowned slightly, "When you talk to me, you have always been so polite...... This seems to me to be a long way from you. ”

"Lord Wang......!" Ling Shuang raised her head, looked at King Qi, and saw a helpless look on King Qi's face, "Lord Wang, you are the prince, slave maid...... The slave is a maid by your side, and you can't ...... Don't be rude......! ”

"Maid?" King Qi smiled bitterly and said, "You can tell from your heart, since you came to me, how can I treat you as a maid?" ”

Ling Shuang looked cramped and uneasy, lowered his head, and said softly: "The prince is kind to Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang has always kept it in his heart, and he never dared to forget ...... in the slightest!" ”

King Qi said: "Ling Shuang, you tell me, what do you want me to do, so that you can open your heart to me?" I know you care about me on a daily basis, but I also know that you only care about me because of ...... Just because ......! He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's it, don't talk about it, it's already late...... Go and rest first. ”

Ling Shuang got up, looked at King Qi with a haggard appearance, frowned slightly, stopped talking, and finally bowed, and said softly: "Lord Wang, you...... You're resting early, too......! Turning around and about to retreat, King Qi looked up at her beautiful figure, got up suddenly, took a few steps forward, and before Ling Shuang could react, he had already hugged Ling Shuang's waist from behind.

Ling Shuang screamed "ah", was shocked, and struggled, "Lord, lord, you let ...... go!" ”

King Qi hugged Ling Shuang's waist tightly, panting and said, "Ling Shuang, tell me, do you look down on me?" Or do you think I'm a coward because of what happened back then? Have you always looked down on me from the bottom of your heart? ”

When King Qi saw Ling Shuang for the first time, it was when Ling Shuang was bullied, King Qi was worried, and he couldn't step forward to relieve the siege as soon as possible, but it was Chu Huan who saw the injustice and rescued Ling Shuang.

King Qi has always been haunted by this matter and has become a stone in his heart.

Ling Shuang struggled hard, King Qi didn't dare to push too hard, Ling Shuang broke free, Ling Shuang put down the plate in his hand and knelt on the ground, "Lord Wang, don't say that, the slave has never thought like this." ”

Seeing Ling Shuang kneeling, King Qi stretched out his hand to pull her up, but Ling Shuang shrank back in horror, King Qi's hand paused, and after a while, he slowly withdrew it, turned around and sat down on the edge of the chair lonely, and said with a wry smile: "Ling Shuang, you are a smart girl, I don't believe you don't understand my mind?" From the first time I saw you in Yunshan Mansion, I already liked you, and at that time I made up my mind that you would not marry in this life...... I have put a lot of thought into this, the day you entered the palace, do you know how happy I am in my heart? ”

Ling Shuang just knelt on the ground and lowered her head, her delicate body trembling slightly, but she didn't speak.

"But I know now that while I was happy that day, you weren't." King Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Ling Shuang, is it a mistake for me to take you away from the palace?" ”

Ling Shuang raised her head and looked at the depressed King Qi, her heart trembled.

"The farthest distance in the world is not thousands of miles apart, but you and I are close in front of us, but like strangers." King Qi stared at Ling Shuang, "Maybe from the beginning, it was just my wishful thinking, but now that I think about it, it's just that I'm too naïve." He suddenly laughed at himself: "The women I don't like come easily, and there are so many people, but the women I really like, I have never been ...... by her!" ”

Ling Shuang finally said: "Lord Wang, Ling Shuang is not a fool, he knows your mind, but ...... The prince is a royal emperor, with a noble status and a golden body, and Ling Shuang ......! Smiled sadly, "Born in Qinglou, no matter what, you can't desecrate the prince's name...... prince, there are so many good girls in the world, as the prince said, there are many women who want to serve the prince, Ling Shuang is just a humble body, and he really can't defile the prince's ......!" ”

King Qi showed annoyance and said, "Why do you say that? What Qinglou is from, in my eyes, you are cleaner than all the women in the world, you can not care about me, but ...... But you can't say that about yourself, Ling Shuang, you are the cleanest and purest girl in the world, if anyone dares to have the slightest desecration against your life experience, I will definitely break him into pieces. ”

Ling Shuang looked at the angry King Qi, with a complicated look in her eyes, and her pink red lips moved, but she couldn't speak after all.

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, "Your Highness, there is a guest asking to see you!" ”

King Qi was stunned, frowned, and asked, "It's so late, who is coming to see you?" ”

"He came in through the back door." The voice outside said: "Now I am waiting for the prince to receive me." ”

King Qi thought for a moment, and finally said, "Bring him over." Only then did he say to Ling Shuang: "Ling Shuang, you go down and rest first, it's too late, don't hurt your body." ”

Ling Shuang got up, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Lord Wang, you have to be careful of your own physical ......!" ”

King Qi smiled reluctantly, nodded, Ling Shuang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally retreated.

Not long after, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the people have been brought!" ”

King Qi looked at the door of the hall, only to see a person hurrying in from outside the door, and when he saw King Qi, he came over, knelt on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Your Highness, the slave can see you......!" ”

This person was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and wore a coarse cloth hat, at first glance, he was just an ordinary person in the market, King Qi looked at it twice, and said in a lost voice: "Sun Desheng, why are you?" ”

The person kneeling on the ground, but suddenly it was Sun Desheng, the personal eunuch of the King of Qi when he was in the palace, when the King of Qi followed Xu Congyang to Yunshan Mansion, Sun Desheng followed him closely.

Sun Desheng has followed the King of Qi for many years, and he is a very trusted person of the King of Qi, but after the King of Qi left the palace and opened the palace, as a eunuch, Sun Desheng could only stay in the palace and could not follow the palace into the palace.

At this moment, King Qi was really taken aback when he saw Sun Desheng, who should have been in the palace, suddenly appear in front of him in such a dress, he had already got up and stepped forward, pulled Sun Desheng up, and said with a little joy: "Why did you leave the palace?" ”

"Your Highness, the slave is leaving, before leaving, I am thinking about Your Highness, and I want to come over to see Your Highness for the last time." Sun Desheng burst into tears, "If I can see Your Highness tonight, even if I die, the slave is already content." ”
