4. Sleepless nights
The Queen Mother's opening remarks were as concise as ever, just like her, she was a female heroine I admired.
Her ageless and fabulous face is indeed the most beautiful in the entire lobby. I can only silently lower my presence, so as not to draw attention to myself.
"Enjoy tonight's sleepless singing and dancing feast!"
The sound of drums and gongs came, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and all kinds of delicacies were served by the waitress who swayed their waists, and the wine as sweet as a rain was poured into the silver cup of marigold, but I was not very moved.
I'm a foodie, but I'm not a captive of food. The food here is really beautiful, but I'm not very relieved.
There are a lot of people at the feast, the hall is very lively, eating, drinking and having fun, countless people talk and laugh this, listen to the music and praise songs, see the strange art play and dance, all kinds of wonderful performances that make people praise again and again to push the feast on the *, the queen mother will always smile slightly when receiving the gift, and occasionally also in the song and dance interval to announce some things. For now, it has nothing to do with me.
There are many people, but my heart is lonely and calm.
"Eh, Luo Zhiyao!" I was bored and refused the advice of groups of people to drink, and wanted to go around, but suddenly I heard someone calling me by my name?
I looked back, oh, that merry bastard Li Feifan. (Fang Qing always felt that I had learned badly from him)
This guy is the son of the Li family. The Li family is a wealthy family, a century-old wealthy family, and there is no humanity! At first, their family was in business and was looked down upon, but after becoming rich, they never forgot to help the poor, and the people were very grateful and trusted in them.
However, this Li Feifan's name is good, but he is too uncompetitive, he can't do anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and books are incompetent, and he knows every day that he runs to the Qinglou, and he can't extricate himself from being addicted to women.
But, as far as I can see, he is still very shrewd, with the essence of a businessman inherited from his father.
This guy once had a relationship with me when I first entered the Imperial City. At that time, I was very down, but arrogant, and although he was beautiful, he was sad.
"Luo Zhiyao? Lord Luo? He leaned over with a smile, "I've always heard that Lord Luo likes to wear a plain white dress, but it's a pity that I can't see it today." "Blame me for wearing the colorful clothes given by the emperor? Are you sick in the head, who is the guest at the birthday banquet dressed in white?
I don't want to pay attention to him. He smiled and stuffed me with a bottle, arched his hand at me, and walked away.
I glanced at the bottle and smiled slightly.
At that time, he was beautiful, but he was sitting by the lake with a dying puppy in his arms and shedding tears.
"What are you crying about, you are obviously a child of a rich family, but you still shed tears alone and don't fight for your family." Li Feifan's family once saw that I was poor and gave me some property, but I resigned, but the kindness was still in my heart, and when I saw that he, the son of the Li family, was sad alone, they came to ask.
"Uh......h Woo, my Qianqian, it's hurt! My mom didn't want to call for someone to save it, they all hated it! β
"Are you a fool! What's the use of crying! "I was a good doctor, so I sat next to him and looked at the puppy's wounds.
Well...... Why is the wound so wide and deep? Was he injured by the Li family? I feel sorry for this poor puppy.
"Here's this, apply the dog's wound every day, and it will be healed soon. It's really, it's not an internal injury, stupid! But be sure to protect it next time. I said in a old-fashioned manner, and threw him a beautiful glass bottle, which I didn't know was priceless medicine at the time, and turned to leave.
"Hello? Is your word credible? What's your name? Li Feifan wiped away his tears in a panic and wanted to catch up with me.
"Luo Zhiyao. Li Gongzi doesn't have to chase after him, I don't want you to repay the favor, just see you again. "At the age of fifteen, I left proudly, no matter how tattered my clothes were.
Oh, hehe, I was stupid and naΓ―ve at the beginning, and I had a bad relationship with him. Now that I think about it, it's "what an embarrassing word". Time has passed, the lake has been filled, and to be honest, I'm not so kind now, I'm glad I was stupid.
The bottle seemed to be rubbed in the hand a lot, and the edges and corners were not as sharp as before.
Never mind. If the edge is shallow, it is safe.
I put the bottle away and walked a long way, the lobby was so wide and inhuman. I saw the emperor, went to salute the emperor, and tried to talk to him, but he waved his hand, signaling that he would not talk about it for the time being, and then went to the queen mother. I retreated silently, secretly sad, but still uneasy to follow behind the emperor.
"Today is a prosperous age, and the wisdom of the Queen Mother is also inseparable, the common people are grateful to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and I am only willing to send a little heart to bless the world in the future, the peace of the people, and the harvest every year." I heard slightly hoarse words, full of overzealous excitement.
Just as the Emperor and I were passing by, we saw the owner of the words, an old man dressed in a foreign land, walking up to the stage with a smile on his face, and saluting the Queen Mother with his back to us.
"Aiqing, are you okay lately?"
"Your Majesty, I haven't been in good health recently."
"That'll be fine." The emperor nodded. "That prince of the Wu Clan, but he is also learning such tricks?" Seeing that the Queen Mother was watching the old man perform a wonderful illusion with great interest, the emperor asked me casually.
Fang Qing? How could that guy be willing to learn?
"Emperor Qi, he is still that lazy, and he refuses to force him to learn." And he was arrogant and unreasonable, always causing trouble for me, so he almost bullied his own master so much that he couldn't think of jumping into the river for a while.
The emperor sighed speechlessly, and also understood the guy's temperament, so he didn't ask more.
"Your Majesty, there is a talisman here, you can wear it on your body, you can protect your safety, and you can feel at ease below." I whispered very seriously, and took out a talisman that I had retrieved from Jiang Fengyuan shortly after returning to Beijing.
The emperor turned his head slightly to look at me, sighed as if he didn't have anything, and accepted it. "I have love for you, and you will be worry-free at the age of 100."
"As long as the minister is alive for one day, he will protect you for a hundred years." I replied in a sonorous whisper.
He nodded. At this point, the show ended. The Queen Mother suddenly called me, and to be honest, I was so frightened that no one trembled in my heart.
"Emperor, Luo Qing, come up and sit." She is still kind and kind to a good mother, the emperor should go down, and I will also go to salute the queen mother.
"Luo Qing went to Jiangnan this winter, the road is far away, can he be sick?" Her tone was gentle, as if she was looking at her own good son, and her eyes were full of appreciation and praise for me, but my back was cold when she saw it.
There was a weak vinegar-smelling gaze from the emperor behind me, and I broke out in a cold sweat. You must know that the person the emperor cares about most in this world is the queen mother, the queen mother was very indifferent to the emperor when she was a child, so the emperor will be very envious and jealous when he sees that the queen mother is good to anyone...... I don't want it.
I was crying frantically inside, but on the surface I was still graceful.
"Thank you for the care of the Queen Mother, the minister has been in good health recently." I also responded to her with a smile, and both of them were smiling with knives in their eyes.
"On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, the minister was ignorant and ignorant, and he didn't know what the Queen Mother liked, so he could only do his best and send a string of prayer beads. This bead has the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the skin, removing the yin and reducing the fire, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it will not feel uncomfortable when worn. β
I handed over the medicine beads, hum, Wen Zhilan has done enough superficial work, and it still looks round and transparent and eye-catching.
"Oh? It's a strange thing. The Queen Mother took it with a smile, "Anyway, Luo Qing is not too young, but there is a favorite woman who wants to entrust her for life?" I can count on being able to hold Luo Qingshuiling's son. β
I'm not impossible, I'm not impossible. I complained in my heart.
I'm only in my twenties, so why am I not young? It's not funny, but you still have to keep smiling.
"Ah, I haven't thought about it yet...... You understand, Chen was born with an incurable disease, but he didn't want to involve a good girl. β
"How can you say that?" The Queen Mother pretended to be angry, "Luo Qing is at a good age, there is no disease that cannot be overcome in a lifetime, don't worry, the mourning family will definitely think of a way for you." And what you need now is a virtuous woman who can cook medicine for you and take care of you. β
Emperor: That's right! The Queen Mother is right! Find a woman to take him!
Me: It's cold, who's going to be taken in.
The Queen Mother patted me on the head, "Why don't you let the flowers in 'Wind and Snow Moon' spend the wind and rain and joy of the afterlife with you?" Yan'er is a child I have seen grow up with my own eyes, and her personality is unique, and she can't find a second beautiful woman with such a beautiful face with a lantern, I think you two are also destined, both are virtuous ministers, wouldn't it be beautiful if you can be virtuous and virtuous? β
Do you know that salty and salty will be very difficult to eat, and the ten fingers will not stick to the spring water.
"The flower girl is a fairy in the sky, and the minister is a layman, how can she be worthy?" I could barely organize the words.
"Why can't that!" The Queen Mother began to hold my hand again and chattered about how good the flowers were. The emperor saw that I had no love, and he held back a smile and drank.
My brain hurts.
"Come, Yan'er, come here." The Queen Mother gently greeted a woman in red next to her. I:????! It turns out that you are lying in ambush near me. Insidious! Cunning!
Hua Liuyan: Hehe.
The slender woman walked slowly, I have to say that just looking at the figure is very seductive, dazzling and dazzling in a golden silk red dress lined her complexion like pink jade and white snow, stretched out her hand and slightly stroked a few strands of hair hanging on her chest, the action was sultry and deadly, she had a face of a closed moon and a shy flower, a pair of stunning Danfeng eyes with eyeliner stared straight at me, with a smile on her face, and her lips hooked a soft arc, which was indeed amazing. Made me swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Oh my God, I don't dare look at her face again! I'm afraid that my soul will be snatched away!!
Seriously, this girl is really the best in the world, if it weren't for my pure heart and few desires for so many years, I really couldn't hold it.
Emperor: I think the starfish is worthy of Luo Qing. Huh? Luo Qing, are you blushing? There's play.
Me: You're not blushing yet...... (whispering)
"Queen Mother, the flowers greet you." As soon as her crisp sound came out, I heard a chuckle in my heart.
Oops, that's the feeling. (Don't get me wrong, it's just a feeling of myocardial infarction)
I tried to think of a solution, but my mind was in a mess.
Hua Liuyan is actually a myth in the assassination world, but now I know why.
Dare to love this guy is not from the Central Plains! Wiccan beauties?!
Don't ask me how I see it. This guy is taller than me! The facial lines are also a little more wild than the beauties of the Central Plains, and the slightly rough but lightly scented hair is also very characteristic of the Wu tribe.
On top of that, she actually tried to use illusion on me just now!
Oh, when I have been sick for so many years, is it a white pain? I'm immune to illusions.
Her eyes wandered and she smiled playfully at me.
the groove. Beauty that hits the heart.
"Hello, Lord Luo." She owes me a debt.
Oh my God.
"Your Majesty......." I looked at the emperor pleadingly.
"Luo Qing, you don't think it's as good as this matter is decided." The emperor patted me on the shoulder.
I blinked, half in despair.
"That.... Miss Hua ......, "I don't give up on looking at Hua Liuyan.
"The little girl is also happy with Lord Luo, and it is the blessing of the little woman to be married to you in this life."
I blinked in despair.
"But, the Queen Mother ......"
"No need to say more, Luo Qing, why are you still shy, you will settle this family matter in two days."
I was in utter despair: ??? Xiao Yueleng rescued me.
Xiao Yueleng, who was hidden in the background from beginning to end: Get out, the gods can't save you.
I wanted to cry without tears, and a small part of the crowd was also listening to the Queen Mother's speech, and they nodded and laughed very approvingly.
So far. I really can't do anything else.
My gaze sank, and I didn't want to ruin my reputation until I had to, but ...... Never mind.
So I finally spoke firmly, after a long silence.
"Actually, it's a broken ....... down"
Unfortunately, before the words were finished, a scream suddenly came from the crowd. Thankfully, I was interrupted before I could finish speaking. My heart is still beating wildly.
"Whew." I was secretly having fun, thanking the enemy for being so cooperative with my performance, which happened to be the right time to stir things up hahaha.
Of course, I was also very nervous in addition to gratitude, and instantly got up and pulled out my sword, protecting the emperor and the queen mother behind me, but I was scolding in my heart. Who in this mixed path doesn't know that Hua Liuyan is a poisonous flower, with strong martial arts and amazing illusions, but at this time, he is delicate and panicked and hides behind one of my famous war scumbags.
But...... Good men don't care about women, and I don't bother to expose her lies.
The crowd not far away screamed one after another, but most of them didn't know where the danger came from, so they just pushed and shoved indiscriminately, and Zi Lanwei quickly went over to maintain order.
"Send the emperor and the queen mother away." The situation was really not good, the wood on the roof of the hall suddenly began to burn and fall, screaming one after another, I had to turn my head and whisper to Hua Liuyan. This guy is also a purple orchid guard, and today he changed into a red dress just to seduce me, and he is not a purple cloth and gold armor on weekdays. But I'm not very relieved of her, God knows what the two guys with ghosts will do to the poor emperor, so I kept an eye on it, and secretly released a two-tailed worm over, this worm is a tail is a poisonous needle, and a tail is a strange creature that can make a sound in the hollow, very well-behaved, listen to my words, I am quite relieved of it.
Don't ask where this insect came from, Wen Shilan said that there is no love in life.
Wen Zhilan: Master Spicy Chicken is the best at poison in addition to medicine, and the poisonous insects he raises often run all over the house. It took me a year and a half to get used to the panic of sleeping in a worm nest.
Oh, don't mention it.
I saw them leave together, and turned my attention to the chaos of the hall.
The crowd panicked, and three ferocious and strange beasts and countless masked people jumped down with the collapsed ceiling of the hall, and began a desperate slaughter under the rapid spread of the fire.
I heard a creaking sound overhead, and I jumped away, and a flaming wooden beam smashed into pieces.
Most of the Zilanwei went to escort the Queen Mother, and the tragic scene in the lobby was completely ignored, it was really, a group of bastards.
I flew into the fight. But when I saw it, I was shouting cool in my heart, and there was no one to support me at all! The crowd wasn't evacuated either!
There are not many guards in the lobby, and those who know some martial arts are struggling to resist, I called the emperor to add more people, but at this time there is no one.
The masked man's knife skills were extremely tricky, and I had a hard time dealing with the two of them, and the two of them worked together seamlessly, and I had no chance to turn the situation around, so I could only be forced into the collapse danger zone by them.
The crowd was noisy, and the screams and cries pierced my eardrums.
An inattentive, masked man's feigned attack tricked me, he turned around and stabbed me in the right shoulder with a knife, and the blood flew out, corroding the masked man's face with a silk scarf, burning him so violently that he fell to the ground whimpering, and passed out with convulsions.
Didn't scream? His expression was distorted, but he couldn't make any sound......
Hehe, fortunately, I am used to holding a sword in my left hand, and at this time, I took advantage of the shock of another enemy and stabbed straight down, but he blocked it, and I raised my sword and pierced him in the chest.
I leaned over with my left arm down, lifted his masked scarf, and examined his mouth.
Sure enough, there was no tongue. I was lost in thought.
"Luo Zhiyao!" I was suddenly startled, but when I turned around, I saw Xiao Yueleng pounced on me, grabbed me and rolled twice, and a huge lamppost next to me fell down, making a sad loud roar, smashing the masked man to pieces.
"Damn, you don't want to die!" But the first moment I came back to my senses was not grateful, but vigorously broke free, and yelled.
My Blood...... My blood. I panicked and raised Xiao Yueleng's arm with my right hand to check if he was poisoned.
"Bastard, don't be so reckless next time, get bloody?" I supported him worriedly, and my heart was full of mixed tastes, and it was the most sour.
"I'm fine. But why don't you say you're the stupidest? I knew that I was not in good health and participated in the battle, and I said that I was reckless...... Are you looking for death? He asked coldly, but I wasn't sure to check him for blood. He stopped me. "Okay, we can't waste time, the situation is critical right now."
I took two deep breaths before I slowly calmed down, and calmly clicked the acupoint in my right hand with my left hand, and the blood stopped flowing instantly.
"Why didn't the guards from outside come to their aid? Why are there still so many people in the lobby now! I asked eagerly.
"This place has been blocked by magic, the outside world has been isolated, and the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have been transferred to a safer place, but they can't leave here for the time being." He stood up, "If the masked people are killed, someone will surely pour oil from the house, and the fire will get bigger and bigger...... Ahem, ahem. The smoke was so thick that we couldn't stop coughing, I quickly tore off a piece of cloth to cover my mouth and nose, Xiao Yue nodded coldly, and followed suit.
"Then what are you waiting for, you go to the house to catch someone! I don't take it lightly. β
"You think too much, the roof is also sealed, like a glass barrier, you can't go up. You're hurt, I'll take you to safety. He rolled his eyes and pulled me to find a safe place." ??? There are so many people here, and there is no one who can unseal the magic? I staggered to catch up with him.
"I'm sorry, not really. Actually, you already knew it, right? I'm not surprised, it's just that this magic is too strong. He sighed.
"Who the hell is the enemy...... They all had their tongues cut out, and I thought something was strange about it. Wait, I'm not going to the shelter, how can you leave me alone to fight? "I tugged at him and braked hard." There's no way I'm going to run, I'm staying with you to protect the others. β
"You know how to be strong." He whispered. "Protect yourself, I won't save you next time."
I smiled nonchalantly, stepped forward to join him, and returned to the devastated battlefield.
It's a great honor for me to fight alongside you.

So far. I really can't do anything else.
My gaze sank, and I didn't want to ruin my reputation until I had to, but ...... Never mind.
So I finally spoke firmly, after a long silence.
"Actually, it's a broken ....... down"
Queen Mother: Broken sleeves? No problem, come, Yue Leng, this child is also something I grew up watching, and I have lived with you for so many years, and he is a good brother from birth to death, right? Yue Leng often praises you in front of me, I believe you know each other very well, and you are the closest confidants in the world, why don't you kiss and become husbands?
Emperor: I felt the force majeure of the original plot.
Xiao Yueleng: ?????? (shed tears that were sold by the Queen Mother)
I (from the heart): Break ...... Break...... Joker.
Emperor: Hahaha, I'm sorry for my laughter.
