Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drunkenness and Guilt

King Ping's Mansion is going through a "torture from hell", and although Yuan Ke and Yuan Xu have arrived home safely, King Ping still punishes the two. King Ping was very angry at the two of them leaving home without permission, and it didn't go down for so long.

"I don't want to say more, you two go to the ancestral hall and kneel, think about it in front of the ancestral tablet, don't come out if you can't think clearly", King Ping threw the two of them to the ancestral hall with this sentence. Yuan Ke thought that with his brother's guarantee, he shouldn't be punished very heavily, but he didn't expect that he would go to the ancestral hall again, which had not been used for eight hundred years, and let him catch up, and the most pitiful thing was Yuan Xu, who was implicated by him for no reason.

King Ping had actually received a brief letter about Zhang Junwu's two assassinations on the road, he did not tell Yuan Ke's mother about the two assassinations, her mother had always been delicate, and she really didn't want her to worry too much, but there was always a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he was afraid that all this was towards Yuan Xu, and all the efforts made before that might come to naught.

He can't take it lightly, he finally got the stability and peace of the Yuan family, and he can't smash it in his hands, but he can't tell Yuan Yi that this matter is very important, and it is not something that a child of him can bear. With such a tangled mood, King Ping ushered in another bad thing recently, which was even more difficult for him to deal with than the previous one.

His mother was sent back to the clouds!

This is what he didn't expect, although he simply knew his mother's behavior through Yuan Yi's letters, but he still didn't want to face her, he has always been an outcast, his eldest brother was put on the throne, he was completely useless, he was afraid that he couldn't even keep his life in that imperial city, and he fled to Yunzhong, and he was afraid that his mother's hand would stretch too long, and even Yunzhong would not be safe, so he began to cultivate his own power, and it took nearly five years to build Yunzhong into his small kingdom, so that his wife and children could live here with peace of mind.

But even so, he did not escape the clutches of his mother, who cared nothing for him, and even tethered his son through the death of her other son. She took advantage of a son's concern for his parents and forced Yuan Yi to become the puppet master of that imperial city. The Imperial City is not within his control, he knows it, and Yuan Yi also knows it, so he has to accept it.

He always blamed himself for being so weak at that time and could only be at the mercy of others, so when he left the capital, he handed over all his secret power to Yuan Yi to keep him safe. Fortunately, in the past five years, Yuan Yi has worked very hard, and he is finally "free".

What's going on now? It was really a headache for his son to leave this difficult trouble in his care. There is no way, it is indeed a big trouble to put it in the capital, it is better to put it in the clouds, at least far away from the center of the battle.

In the capital, Yuan Yi was still worried, and he had just solved Liu Qianqian's matter two days ago, but two days before he was born, Zhang Junwu's report arrived: he said that he met an organization called "Cloud Pavilion" on the road, and secretly carried out two inexplicable attacks.

Yuan Yi looked at the report sent to the desk really womb, too many things have happened in the past month, and there is not even a chance to give people a respite, and these things are very incredible, it feels like being calculated by others, and they are following the pace of others step by step, this is the most aggrieved, knowing that it is a game, but they can't get out.

Obviously, he especially wanted to accompany Lu Melo recently, but he was entangled in a bunch of things, and he put the most important thing in the least important place.

Zhang Junwu's report on what happened was of course very important, but he knew that Zhang Junwu and Mo Xiu would inevitably ventilate, find out the matter to the end, and then give him a result. The most important thing for him right now is Lu Mello.

After that incident, although there was a simple comfort, but she never came out of it, the longer the days dragged on, the more it would become a knot, and he didn't want this matter to become a taboo between them.

Informed Mo Xiu early and asked him to bring Lu Meiluo to Lingyuntai, the coolness of autumn has begun to spread to the entire palace, Lingyuntai is even more autumn at night because of its height, this situation seems to fit the mood of the two.

When Mo Xiu came, Lu Meiluo was looking at the flowers outside the hall in a daze, and there were many more of them in this kind of daze in the past few days. It was like suddenly entering a world that was so quiet, and there was nothing else to disturb her. Every time she was in a daze, she knew exactly why she was like this, but she couldn't control herself.

Lu Melo was interrupted in a daze by Mo Xiu's arrival.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty will meet you at Lingyuntai when you are in the morning."

Lu Meiluo didn't hear what Mo Xiu was saying at first, but Jing Wen beside her looked at her and didn't react, and reminded softly: "Niangniang, Niangniang." ”

Lu Meiluo woke up from a big dream and looked at Mo Xiu. Mo Xiu could only repeat it again: "Niangniang, Your Majesty will meet you at Lingyuntai when you are in the morning." ”

"Okay, tell Your Majesty that you will definitely go to the appointment." Lu Meiluo replied very directly, she needed such a meeting.

After Mo Xiu left, Lu Meiluo asked Jingwen, "What time is it?" ”

"It's three o'clock in the hour, does Niangniang need to have dinner before going over?"

"Just prepare a little snack, you don't need anything else."

Yuan Yi came a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time, and the food was already ready on the Lingyun platform, and the most eye-catching thing was the two pots of good wine on the table. The night wind on the high platform was a little strong, and Mo Xiu specially asked the palace people to add curtains to prevent the concubine from getting cold.

Yuan Yi stood on the railing of the high platform, looking at the remnant sun in the distance, and after a while, he heard the footsteps of going upstairs, and it turned out that Lu Meiluo had also come early. Yuan Yi turned his head and stared intently at the staircase, and she appeared, slowly appearing in front of his eyes from head to toe.

Lu Meiluo didn't choose palace clothes this time, and changed into the pink dress that Yuan Yi liked her to wear the most when she first met in the clouds, and the headdress was also simple, a jade hairpin. This dress is as if they are still in the clouds and have never come to this capital.

Yuan Yi smiled, just looked at Lu Meiluo, who was slowly walking towards him, neither of them spoke, they just approached silently, and their eyes kept staring at each other. Lu Melo stopped in front of Yuan Yi, who stretched out his arms and hugged her. Lu Melo was shaking for a moment, and there was a warm feeling in the body being held, but his hands didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the time for this dazzle was very short, and after a moment of hesitation, her hands also hugged Yuan Yi's broad back tightly.

Lu Meiluo rested his head on Yuan Yi's shoulder, his eyes looked into the distance, his eyes were full of glow, overlooking the entire imperial city, and at this time he really felt that he had come out of that oppressive palace.

Yuan Yi felt Lu Melo's arms gradually tightening, he gently and kept stroking Lu Melo's somewhat nervous back, and said, "Luo'er, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Melo didn't speak, she didn't know whether to forgive or blame, she could only respond with silence. Yuan Yi didn't hear an answer for a long time, so he ended the hug and let her face his eyes. As a last resort, Lu Meiluo could only reply: "No, this is still my carelessness, Brother Yi has already taken care of me a lot." ”

Yuan Yi knew that Lu Meiluo still had a lot of words in his heart that he hadn't said, so he could only change his words first: "Luo'er, I prepared your favorite food today, it's windy here, let's go over there." He pulled Lu Melo back into the veil.

Lu Meiluo has been in a bad mood recently, and she doesn't have much appetite, but she can't live up to Yuan Yi's intentions, in this palace, she has enjoyed too much Jun's grace, and the heart of this person who is really good to her can't be broken.

Yuan Yi pulled Lu Melo to sit down and filled the wine glass in front of the two, Lu Melo didn't drink a drop of wine on weekdays, but today Yuan Yi just wanted her to use the strength of the wine to talk about the grievances in her heart.

Lu Meiluo didn't want to drink, in the past few years, she had never been drunk, and she had read so many poems by Li Taibai, and Taibai turned all the pride and grievances in her heart into a wine glass. Today, she also wants to test whether wine can really eliminate the depression in her heart. Without waiting for Yuan Yi to speak, he picked up the wine glass and tasted it.

The wine in the entrance was not as bitter as expected, it actually had a sweet taste, and Lu Meiluo looked up at Yuan Yi. Yuan Yi didn't expect that she would drink by herself. He specially instructed to bring sweet wine brewed by traditional Chinese medicine, just to take care of her body, the Chinese medicinal materials in it are all blood circulation and blood stasis, and he also asked Imperial Doctor Xue that even if he is drunk, the problem is not very big.

"This is the wine specially made for you after you entered the palace, I am afraid that you will not be used to drinking it, and there is fruit in it."

Hearing this, Lu Meiluo's eyes were a little moist, and in order to hide it, she lowered her head and drank the rest of the cup. When you drink it like this, it seems to have a little more sweetness. After drinking it all, she actually poured herself another glass, just like that, cup after cup, and she didn't feel that she had three cups down.

During this period, Yuan Yi didn't stop him at all, just looked at Lu Meiluo, he had never seen such a Lu Meiluo, he was distressed, so he made her drink.

After three cups, Lu Melo already felt that her head was a little dizzy, she shook her head slightly, trying to wake up, but she already found that some of them couldn't control themselves.

"Is Luo'er still awake?" At this time, Yuan Yi spoke.

Lu Meiluo was only concerned about drinking just now, and he actually forgot that Yuan Yi was still there, and when he heard this voice, he really remembered that there was still a person staring at him and drinking: "Well, I'm still awake." ”

Although Lu Meiluo said this, Yuan Yi had already heard that her tone was different from usual, and at this time she was like a child, answering in a milky voice.

"Brother Yi, do you know? My head started to get dizzy, and I heard people say that drunk is like that, but I'm still very conscious! You see, I also know that we are on Lingyun Terrace now. Do you think I'm not drunk? Lu Mello, who was a little drunk, suddenly talked more and kept talking.

"Luo'er is drunk." Yuan Yi said and walked quickly to the opposite side, holding Lu Meiluo, who was a little tilted.

Lu Meiluo was like a stupid child, turned his head again, and had to look into Yuan Yi's eyes and speak: "No, you see, I know everything, I don't know why, my heart is so uncomfortable!" Am I really doing something wrong? I really don't know if they would do that? Otherwise, I'll be extra careful! As he spoke, he cried, "Brother Yi, I really hate them, why am I so careless?" Brother Yi, do you know? I was so scared that day, I felt like I was dead, brother, you know? Am I really scared? Woowoowoo......"

"I know, I know." Yuan Yi is like coaxing a little girl who has lost her favorite doll, gently touching her head, this kind of Lu Meiluo is what makes Yuan Yi the most distressed, obviously there are so many bitter things to complain, but he couldn't help but say it for a few days.

"I can't cry, I can't let my brother worry, but I'm really heartbroken. What to do? Brother Yi, I want to go back to the clouds, this palace is so cold and cold. Hey, what is it? Lu Melo was a little incoherent, "Oh, it's Brother Yi's arm, Brother Yi, Brother Yi's ......"

"What's wrong? I'm here. ”

"You say, will I not be suitable for here, I can't even protect my own things, I, I don't know what to do? But I will still be strong, my mother told me before she came, the capital is dangerous, she believes that I can handle it, and I believe that I can handle it, right? Brother Yi? He stopped and smiled, and looked at Yuan Yi like this.

"Of course Luo'er can deal with it, even if you can't cope with it, I will protect you, brother." Yuan Yi patiently replied to the drunk Lu Meiluo, although he thought that Lu Meiluo would be different after being drunk, but he didn't expect to become a little girl who loves to talk, which he had never seen such a situation when he was a child.

"No, Luo'er can handle it by herself, I can't always rely on my brother's, I can, I can, I can ......" As he spoke, he collapsed into Yuan Yi's arms without even finishing the last word.

Yuan Yi stroked her cheek with his hand, such a gentle woman, even if she was drunk, she was still reckless, she obviously resented those people so deeply, but in the end she still complained about herself, and she was relieved that she could, how restrained it was to do this. Yuan Yi is not mistaken, in his bones Lu Melo is the same person as her, forbearant and strong, but it is precisely because of this that he feels more sorry for Lu Mello, after all, she is a woman, but on the other hand, he is also pleased, she has seen these harem methods, so that she can live without needing her own protection, he is afraid that he will not be able to protect her one day, she needs to go through the wind and rain.

The night was not dark, but his heart was already a little cold, holding Lu Meiluo, who was already unconscious, he walked down the Lingyun platform, Mo Xiu had already prepared the sedan chair, he gently put her in, and Jingwen handed him the cloak he was carrying. The wide robe gives Lu Meiluo warmth, and it is Yuan Yi's care and protection.

Devil's Theatre

One day, Yuan Ke met Lu Xi to go shopping and saw a blind beggar.

Lu Xi: It's so pitiful, let's donate some money, shall we?

YUAN Ke; It's a liar, can't you see it?

Lu Xi: How is that possible?

Yuan Ke pulled Lu Xi to the beggar.

Yuan Ke: You answer a question, I'll give you money, you say, is this young lady as beautiful as a flower and has a beautiful temperament?

Beggar: Yes.

Then Yuan Ke directly gave the money, and Lu Xi was puzzled.

Lu Xi: Didn't you say he was a liar? How did you give the money?

Yuan Ke: It's really blind, and he answered yes.

Lu Xi: (chasing)
