King Yu naturally couldn't watch Xue Yi fall into the clutches of the devil, and he didn't agree with Gong Shangyi to start a move.

Xue Yi watched the two of them sword each other, although she didn't understand martial arts, she also saw that Gong Shangyi's sword went straight to King Yu's vital point, it seemed that Gong Shangyi, the county marquis, didn't see King Yu in his eyes at all, seeing that King Yu was about to be overwhelmed, Gong Shangyi glanced at the family behind him, and roared: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't give the cheap maid to this marquis yet! ”

When everyone heard this, they flocked to Xue Yi and couldn't help but say that they would pick up Xue Yi and leave, King Yu saw that Xue Yi was robbed, and became more and more flustered, and he didn't pay attention, the sword was knocked away by Gong Shangyi's sword, and Gong Shangyi's sword was pressed against King Yu's neck, and he smiled: "Lord Wang, it's not early, this Hou Ye is one step ahead." ”

"Marquis Gong stays." Before Gong Shangyi turned around, a sword pressed against his heart, Xiao Yu and King Yu exchanged a look, and King Yu immediately flew in front of those families, and broke up the family with a trick and saved Xue Yi.

Gong Shangyi recognized Xiao Yu and was shocked, he knew Xiao Yu very well, if there was still someone in Shuangfeng City who he was afraid of three points, it would be Xiao Yu, Gong Shangyi knew that Xiao Yu was not only strong in martial arts, but also won the emperor's sacred heart, even his father Gong Yi also wanted to let him score three points.

Gong Shangyi was timid and timid, and turned his back to Xiao Yu and clasped his fists with both hands and smiled: "I don't know that Prince Xiao is coming, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins." ”

Xiao Yu put away his sword, and also clasped his fists with both hands and saluted: "Xiao Wang doesn't know that it is Hou Ye's golden body, and he still looks at Hou Ye Haihan." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

At this time, King Yu had already helped Xue Yi behind Xiao Yi, Gong Shangyi glanced at Xue Yi and said, "Since Xiao Wang Ye has taken a fancy to this girl, Ben Hou has no choice but to cut his love." ”

Xue Yi couldn't get angry, and smiled coldly: "Master Hou, are you going to give me to Prince Xiao?" ”

Gong Shangyi glanced at Xue Yi's fair and delicate face, and was naturally very reluctant in his heart, and hindered Xiao Yi here, knowing that if he wanted to forcibly take Xue Yi away, he would inevitably ascend to the sky, but fortunately he was a favor, and shouted at Xue Yi with horizontal eyebrows: "Cheap maid, today this Hou Ye has spared you in the face of Xiao Wangye, if you still have people's hearts, serve the prince well, and don't go to the morning and evening." ”

King Yu saw that Gong Shangyi was quite jealous of Xiao Yu, and interjected lightly: "It seems that Xiao Wangye's face is still big, and Hou Ye is willing to even be the top of his heart." ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, his handsome face changed, and he opened his mouth, but was stopped by King Yu with his eyes.

"Why should King Yu care? The people of Beijing only know that the Gong family does not know the emperor, let alone your little prince Yu? The subtle change fell in Xue Yi's eyes, and she smiled sideways, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.

Gong Shangyi was a martial artist, and he didn't hear the sarcasm of Xue Yi's words, Yang Yang raised his head proudly and said: "Hmph, if you are interested, if you and this marquis go back to the Hou Mansion, there will naturally be endless silk and silk that you can wear with endless glory and wealth." ”

"We have received Master Hou's kindness, but I'm afraid that my wife is used to coarse clothes and light food, and she can't enjoy the wealth of the Hou Mansion!" No one noticed when Emperor Cheng came behind everyone, holding a bowl of floating circles in his hands.

Gong Shangyi was about to get angry, but he recognized Emperor Cheng at a glance, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live, long live the minister, Gong Shangyi knocks and sees long live." ”

Emperor Cheng used his eyes to stop King Xiao Yuyu and others from kneeling down to pay homage, and went straight past Gong Shangyi, who was kneeling beside him, and gave the floating round end in his hand to Xue Yi, with a little reproach and a little love in his tone: "You, let me find it easy, the floating round will not taste good if it is cold." ”

Emperor Cheng personally fed Xue Yi to eat Fuyuan, and the two looked at each other affectionately, as if there were only him and her in heaven and earth.

Gong Shangyi lay on his stomach on the ground, and seeing that Emperor Cheng seemed to have completely forgotten him, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Weichen kowtows to the emperor, and wishes my emperor long live, long live, long live." ”

Emperor Cheng turned a deaf ear, and the spoon in his hand was sent into Xue Yi's mouth, Xue Yi turned his face, his eyes fell on Gong Shangyi's body, and said to Emperor Cheng with a smile: "Your Majesty, Uncle Guo is still kneeling there." ”

Gong Shangyi had suffered such humiliation, he really wanted to jump up and reason with Emperor Cheng, but he was in the way of Xiao Yu, Xiao Gu was on the throne, but in fact he was still Emperor Cheng's personal guard, no one in Shuangfeng City had ever seen Xiao Yu's sword, because anyone who had seen it would never speak again, Gong Shangyi's father repeatedly told the four of them that any of them could be provoked in Shuangfeng City, but Xiao Xiao Wangye.

Emperor Cheng handed the bowl in his hand to King Yu on the side, glanced at Gong Shangyi coldly, leaned over affectionately and pulled him up with his arms and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Guo, don't be polite." ”

Gong Shangyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood with his hands down, and promised: "The minister offended Tianwei, and the crime deserved death." ”

Emperor Cheng smiled: "Why should my family be like this, presumably Uncle Guo is also here to enjoy the lanterns and travel all kinds of diseases, I am here, it will hinder Uncle Guo's enjoyment, I and Concubine Xue will go back to the palace." ”

Xiao Yu took a step forward and bowed and said, "Rong Chen and the others escort the holy car." ”

Emperor Cheng didn't speak, and King Xiao Yuyu followed. Gong Shangyi trotted two steps to follow and said: "The minister has already visited the lamp market, and he is willing to escort the saint." ”

Emperor Cheng waved his hand to stop Gong Shangyi: "I went out of the palace in Weifu, I don't want to alarm the people of Limin, just have King Xiao and King Yu with you." ”

"Yes, Weichen sent the emperor."

At this time, the dark clouds covered the moon, the lights were fluttering, Emperor Cheng silently walked up to the Luofeng Tower, standing by the city wall and standing in the wind, Xiao Yu and King Yu looked at each other, and their eyes turned to Xue Yi at the same time.

Luofeng Tower is built by the royal family for the Shangyuan Festival lanterns, there are palace pavilions upstairs, and there are eunuchs and palace maids who usually take care of it here.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, the concubine is going to add some clothes." Xue Yi knew that Emperor Cheng must have something to say to Xiao Yu and King Yu, and he could only hinder them here.

Emperor Cheng nodded and ordered Xiao Yi to send Xue Yi downstairs, Xue Yi stopped with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the concubines only rest in Qifeng Pavilion for a while." ”

Seeing Xue Yi go downstairs, Emperor Cheng seemed to be talking to himself: "Is it true that only Lan Guang can restrain the Gong family?" ”

Xiao Yu and King Yu didn't know the true intentions of Emperor Cheng, and neither of them spoke.

Emperor Cheng looked at the clouds covering the moon and said slowly: "I can see today's things clearly, if it weren't for Xiao Yu, I'm afraid Gong Shangyi wouldn't be so humble." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly knelt down: "Long live this statement, the minister will die, the minister and the Gong family are the emperor's courtiers, since ancient times, the monarch called the minister to die, the minister had to die, Gong Shangyi would never dare to be disrespectful to Long live." ”

Emperor Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Yu to stand up: "Why are you so careful, I know who you are, fifth brother, what do you think of today's events?" ”

King Yu smiled bitterly: "Didn't the emperor see it all?" The younger brother is incompetent, and he can't compete with Gong Shangyi, I'm afraid that Gong Shangyi is not afraid of Xiao Yu, the prince, he is afraid of nothing more than the sword in Xiao Yu's hand. ”

"The people of Jingshi only know that there is a Gong family but they don't know that there is an emperor and emperor, if it weren't for me accompanying Xue Yi out of the palace today, I wouldn't know the power of the Gong family in Shuangfeng City." Emperor Cheng's hand slapped fiercely on the jade lion on the city wall.

Xiao Yu saw that Emperor Cheng was really annoyed, and knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "The minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

"Do you want me to find Lan Guang and use him as prime minister again?" Emperor Cheng stared at Xiao Nu who was kneeling on the ground.

Xiao Yu nodded: "The minister doesn't know Prime Minister Lan's past, but the minister understands Prime Minister Lan after he ascended the throne, and the minister believes in his eyes, he is the one who sincerely assists the emperor." ”

King Yu nodded and agreed: "The younger brother also thinks that Prime Minister Lan is the only person who can restrain the Gong family and balance the hundreds of officials in the court. ”

Emperor Cheng was silent for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

The shadows of the trees were swaying, silent, without the noise of the lamp market and without the boiling of the crowd, Emperor Cheng stared at the portrait stupidly, repeating Xue Yi's voice over and over again in his mind: "The people in Shuangfeng City only know the Gong family and don't know the emperor, not to mention that you are a little prince." ”

"Could it really be that only Lan Guang can contain the power of the Gong family?" Emperor Cheng thought.

The footsteps were heavy, and he walked firmly to the portrait step by step, the painting shaft turned, the stone wall was silent, and after a while, the imperial study returned to normal, as if no one had ever come.

Lan Guang closed his eyes and leaned against the corner, he believed that he was about to get out of the way, and Emperor Cheng would definitely let him go.

When he first came here, he was terrified, he was afraid, he thought of death.

He knows very well that he has the most terrifying secret hidden in his heart, he, the prime minister of the past, has a head full of wisdom but does not have a strong enough neck, as long as this secret is revealed, his family, his relatives and friends, will face death, perhaps, maybe more terrible than this, at that time, the government and the opposition will be bleeding like a river, and the country of Inviting Moon will cease to exist!

No, he can't die like this, he has to protect Emperor Cheng to protect the Inviting Moon Country, and protect the secrets he has always held.

He recited it over and over again in his heart to suppress the fear in his heart, and he never stopped fighting, fighting against his fears, against the black hands who coveted the power in his hands, and against his only son.

Emperor Cheng's footsteps interrupted Lan Guang's thoughts and recitation.

He seemed to hear the violent beating of his heart, closed his eyes, but his heart was open, and from the footsteps of Emperor Cheng, he heard the sound of spring and heard his hope.

Emperor Cheng stood in front of Lan Guang, quietly staring at the old man with white hair on his temples, his demeanor was serene, his waist was straight, his knees were staggered, his long eyebrows were slightly drooping, his face was full of red light, and he was in a trance for a moment, Emperor Cheng didn't believe his eyes, and Lan Guang at this time and Lan Guang who was bent on death when he first came were like two people.

"Looks like you've been in a good mood lately." Emperor Cheng was still standing arrogantly in front of Lan Guang.

Lan Guang still closed his eyes: "The emperor's mood seems to be very heavy. ”

Emperor Cheng looked at Lan Guang in surprise: "If the prime minister can guess my intentions, I can consider letting you out." ”

Lan Guang suddenly opened his eyes and smiled: "Ruochen really guessed the holy will, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the morning sun again, right?" ”

Emperor Cheng also smiled, Lan Guang was really smart, it seemed that he had already guessed that he would let him go, in this case, he would rather be subject to the Gong family than be subject to his enemies.
