The moonlight is like water, in the veil, in the palace, the man is only wearing a soft white bedclothes, with strong muscles and no trace of fat.

He sat up, the coldness in his eyes growing.

The four corners of the tent are hung with silver silk scented balls, exuding a faint fragrance.

The man raised his hand and pulled out the golden hairpin that was tied in the bun, and the green silk fell like a waterfall. His hand pressed the two lotus flowers on the golden hairpin, the lotus flowers parted from the middle, and two pills like red beans slipped out and fell on the man's palm, which was as white as jade, which was poignant and beautiful.

The man's fingers flicked, and the two red beans flicked into the two silver silk scent balls, and the man poured out a black pill from the golden hairpin and put it in his mouth.

The man closed the golden hairpin, and the two lotus flowers were brought together again, tightly sealed.

It just so happens that there is also a word "lotus" in the man's name, Qinglian Gongzi, some people say that he is chic and dignified like Li Qinglian in ancient times, so he got the word "Qinglian", but in fact, it is just other people's guesses.

The two pills were mixed with incense, and the aroma in the tent was stronger, and the room illuminated by the octagonal palace lamp at the head of the bed was warm.

There seemed to be a drum in the distance, Qinglian Gongzi was indifferent, as if he didn't hear anything, under the dim light, he was like a sheep fat jade statue, beautiful and noble.

The night was lonely, the deep palace was heavy, and only the fragrance in the veil was stronger and more fragrant.

After a while, there was no sound, and there was a dead silence.

Qinglian Gongzi got up and got out of bed and lifted the veil. As he expected, the two attendants on duty at night were unknown and fell into a deep sleep.

Qinglian Gongzi walked to the glass window, and the two attendants outside the door stood stiffly, their heads lowered, obviously dozing, and in the distance, the guards walked around, their armor shining in the moonlight.

Qinglian Gongzi pushed open the door and walked out. The waiter guarding the door was startled and sleepy: "Childe, where are you going......?"

Qinglian Gongzi smiled lazily and yawned: "The bed in this room is uncomfortable to sleep on, I will stand under the porch for a while and stretch my muscles." ”

After speaking, he really didn't go anywhere, just stood under the porch, the cold winter has come, the waiter is afraid that he will freeze, and hurriedly took a big sweater to put on him, which is rewarded today, it is said that it is also the son of Qinglian himself fancies, the best black fox skin, the hair is excellent. Qinglian Gongzi glanced at the waiter, and said softly: "What is your name, Ming'er, I will let Your Majesty reward you." ”

"Slave Lian'er."

"Lian'er? Coincidentally, you also have a lotus character in your name. ”

"Slaves don't dare."

"On such a moonlit night, it would be nice to have a bowl of crisp cheese topped with raisins."

"Slave maid, let's go to the imperial dining room."

Lian'er's thin figure disappeared at the end of a row of white marble columns, Qinglian Gongzi hooked his lips and smiled, his body was as fast as lightning, galloping towards the endless night, and the figure wearing a black fox fighting and smiling instantly merged with the night.

The night is not young.

......

The next day, the emperor did not have an early dynasty.

Mao Yuanjiu, who was the first assistant, announced his retirement from the dynasty after listening to the recitals of several ministers.

As usual, Mao Yuanjiu and Xiao Changdun each took their own people and went back to their respective homes for a small meeting.

As soon as Xiao Changdun's sedan chair came out of the street in front of the palace, a small servant rushed to catch up, and said through the sedan curtain: "Grandpa Guo, the front has just dispersed, and Long Live Lord will let Xuan'an Changhou enter the palace." ”

Xiao Changdun closed his eyes, heard the words, didn't even raise his eyelids, and asked, "Li Guanzhong's illness is cured?" ”

"No, yesterday, the imperial doctor also went to An Changhou's mansion, and An Changhou's illness was not only not better, but also more serious than before." The little guy said.

Xiao Changdun asked, "It's more serious?" Didn't he have a stomach a while ago? It's been more than ten days, haven't you gotten any better? ”

It's a miracle that this person is still alive for more than ten days.

The little servant hurriedly said: "The stomach is fine, An Changhou has a head disease again, and he can't open his eyes because of the headache, so he can only lie on the kang." ”

Xiao Changdun nodded, this An Changhou is really unfortunate, he is only in his early forties and is riddled with diseases, and he doesn't know what disease he will contract the next time the imperial doctor comes to the door.

"Long live the Lord doesn't know he's sicker?" Xiao Changdun asked.

The little servant said: "The words that came out of the palace said that yesterday Long Live Lord summoned the opera troupe into the palace to sing, and it is still there at this time." ”

So that's the case, Xiao Changdun sighed and said to the little guy: "You are still guarding outside the palace gate, wait until An Changhou comes out and go to find out the news." ”

"Yes!" The little guy turned and ran away.

......

Li Guanzhong, Marquis of Anchang, was helped into the palace by two chamberlains, and when he saw the emperor, he struggled to his knees and fell to the ground.

Looking at Li Guanzhong who was prostrate at his feet, Emperor Chongwen was indescribably relieved.

He liked the feeling, and only then did he feel that he was the supreme emperor.

And every time in the court, although those ministers also knelt three times and knocked nine times, but there were Xiao Changdun and Mao Yuanjiu next to him, he would subconsciously look behind him, although there was no bead curtain there for a long time, but he still felt that there were people watching him, just like every time he went to court from childhood to adulthood, the Empress Dowager looked from behind the bead curtain.

It's still best like now, with his courtiers at his feet and his harem here.

"Excuse me, Li Aiqing, haven't you seen your illness yet?" Emperor Chongwen asked with concern.

Li Guanzhong trembled and got up slightly, like an old man who was dying, the two chamberlains hurriedly helped him sit down, and when he heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly said: "It's almost right, it's almost good, and the minister will soon be able to come back to serve His Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongwen felt that Li Guanzhong looked like this, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back alive in this life.

He remembered that the old Anchang Marquis was old and strong, and he was still fighting with Yang Qin at this time, how could he be so useless as a son.

As for whether it was right or wrong for Li Yongji, the marquis of Anchang, to send troops, Emperor Chongwen did not think deeply, when Mao Yuanjiu's faction had the upper hand, he felt that the king of Yanbei County and Li Yongji had done the right thing, and they were brave and loyal; When Xiao Changdun's faction had the upper hand, he felt that the king of Yanbei County and Li Yongji had no intention to send troops, even if the starting point was good, they were guilty and should be punished.

Therefore, by now, these two factions are fighting to the death, and Emperor Chongwen gradually does not know who is right and who is wrong.

He didn't bother to think about this, summoning Li Guanzhong today was something more important than fighting.

"Li Qing's family, I haven't been able to sleep at night these days, with nightmares, and within a few days, I will be the same as Li Qing's family, and my body will be fragmented."

Emperor Chongwen said, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, his eyes immediately turned red, and there were faint tears.

Li Guanzhong was shocked, fell off the chair, lay on the ground, stretched out his fist and pounded the gold brick on the ground, but this time the fist hurt, and he quickly put his fist into his sleeve......

"Your Majesty, you must not, the minister is willing to suffer for you, get sick for you, this old bone of the minister ......"

"No, no, no, Li Qing's family, hurry up, alas, I'm scared, I'm afraid!"

Li Guanzhong wiped his eyes, raised his head, and asked, "Your Majesty, there is a flying fish guard, you don't have to be afraid." ”

"Yes, I have the Flying Fish Guard, why should I be afraid? I called Li Aiqing here today to ask Li Aiqing to add a guard with a knife who can walk in the inner palace. ”

Li Guanzhong blinked, blinked again, he seemed to understand.
