When Feng Qing was supported by Yuye and knelt on the inside of the palace gate, his whole face was pale and his steps were vain. Yuye poured a thin layer of powder on her face, but the powder couldn't fit at all, and only floated on the surface, which made her even more fragmented. She was tormented by her own demons and the effect of potions for most of the month, and nightmares continued night after night, and her cheeks were visibly sunken.

Kneeling until almost noon, Tuoba Hong's Luan Jia appeared outside the palace gate, and he stepped into the palace gate and stopped directly in front of the prince. Tuoba leaned over and bowed: "Erchen...... I've seen my father. ”

"Do you still know that I am my father?!" Tuoba Hong's voice was not high, but it was cold and unpredictable, "I'm not dead yet, you made the decision earlier." ”

"Erchen didn't dare to ......" Tuoba was so frightened that he trembled, but he was never good at words, and he didn't know what to say to please his father.

Tuoba Hong glanced at him, probably reminded by the staff next to the prince that Tuoba was wearing a very orthodox deep coat today. Tuoba Hong's anger decreased slightly, and he asked, "Do you know that you are wrong?" ”

"Yes, yes, Erchen knows that he is wrong." Tuoba nodded hurriedly, hoping to be confused.

Tuoba Hong pointed at him with a horsewhip and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Erchen is wrong...... It's ......'s fault" Tuoba knew in his heart that if he could say a few beautiful words like his second brother, this turmoil might be able to pass safely, but he hadn't learned Chinese very seriously, and at this time Tuoba Hong deliberately asked questions in Chinese, the more nervous and anxious he was, the more he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Tuoba Hong has always hated him the most for his submissive appearance, but when he saw it, he was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked him in the chest: "Bastard thing!" I tell you that you are disrespectful to the heavens by not wearing a crown robe when you worship the heavens, and that you are disrespectful to your father by tampering with my will and changing your clothes at will. You unfaithful and unfilial thing, you ......"

Although the prince was fat, he was far less agile than Tuobahong, and he kicked him in the chest, and the whole person fell backwards. Tuoba Hong was still angry, and shouted to the left and right: "Someone! Fetch the board! I'm going to teach this bastard a good lesson today! ”

The accompanying and welcoming officials were watching at the gate of the palace, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them, and everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor was really angry this time. The guards trotted all the way to get the thorn planks, but they dodged and did not dare to step forward. Tuoba Hong snatched the plank and hit the prince with his head.

Feng Qing seemed to have just come back to his senses at this time, walked forward a few steps on his knees, and kowtowed to Tuoba Hong and pleaded: "Your Majesty, don't fight anymore, he is still young......"

Because Feng Qing was in the way, Tuoba Hong temporarily stopped, and scolded angrily with a grim face: "He's still young? Ke'er is a few years younger than him, and he can understand the truth of 'wet and satisfied, and take it for himself', what about him? After reading books for several years, I couldn't even memorize the poetry and the Analects. ”

Tuoba Hong turned to the crown prince and said, "Even your younger brother knows that when I set out on the expedition, I hope that I will return safely. What have you done, the prince? You asked someone to hurt your mother-in-law, have you ever visited it these days? ”

After repeated questioning, the prince became more and more speechless, and could only lift half of his sleeve to cover his bleeding cheeks.

Tuoba Hong glanced at Feng Qing, disgusted by her cloaked appearance, but because of Feng Dan's new funeral, he didn't want to embarrass her, so he turned his face and said, "Take the queen aside, if she comes over again, she will be beaten with the prince!" Yuye hurriedly pulled Feng Qing aside, lest she annoy the emperor again.

The thorn plank was waved in Tuoba Hong's hand, and it hit Tuoba Hong's back straight down. Tuoba has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never suffered this kind of sin, and his mouth is full of wails. I don't know how many hits I had in total, but I heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the thorn board in Tuoba Hong's hand broke into two from the middle. He was still angry, threw the half-cut plank in his hand at his feet, and told the guards to find the plank again, and asked King Shiping to come forward and continue to fight.

Feng Miao just walked over with Huai'er at this time, she didn't want Huai'er to see this, so she covered his eyes with her hands, but seeing that the prince was beaten to death, she felt unbearable when she thought of Lin Lang. She leaned over and said to Huai'er: "Didn't Huai'er miss her father for a long time, go over to find her father." ”

Huai'er staggered to Tuoba Hong's side, hugged his legs, and shouted timidly: "Father......" He had never seen his father angry and angry, so he was inevitably a little scared.

Tuoba Hong looked down and saw his most beloved son, and most of his anger suddenly dissipated, he leaned over and hugged his arms, and comforted him softly: "Huai'er, when my father was away, did you obediently listen to my mother's words?" Huai'er put her arms around his neck and nodded vigorously.

"You go back and think about the wrong things you have done, when you think about it, when you will come back to see me!" Tuoba Hong dropped this sentence to the prince and walked away quickly with his arms in his arms.

The prince was beaten all over his body, lying on the ground and almost unable to move, the attendants waited for the emperor to go away, before he dared to come over to help, but Tuoba was stout, and the two guards were also very laborious to support, so he could only find a shoulder chariot to lift, and after tossing for most of the day, the talents at the palace gate were scattered, leaving only Feng Qing still kneeling in place.

"Niangniang, let's go too?" Yuye asked softly.

Feng Qing's eyes were staring at the ground, the person had been a little prostrated by the bright sunlight, and asked faintly, "He still has affection for me, right?" ”

"Niangniang......" Yuye didn't understand what she meant, and didn't know what to say.

Feng Qing repeated in a low voice: "He should still have affection for me, right?" He scolded the prince, but he didn't reprimand me, and told me to stay away......"

Yuye turned her head away, even she, a bystander, could see it clearly, the emperor obviously didn't even want to look at the queen more, where did the affection come from? But Feng Qing's mind had been almost destroyed by Su Wen's elixir, and he couldn't withstand a little stimulation. Yuye could only follow her words and coax her to get up and leave: "Niangniang is the queen of the main palace after all, if the emperor has no affection for you, how can he make you the queen?" Niangniang, go back early, you can serve the emperor only after you have rested......"

In the Shuangming Palace, Gao Gao Huan was tying up a packet of herbs tightly and pushing it in front of Gao Zhaorong: "This is a ten-day dose, after taking it, the rash on your body should be almost better." Tuoba Hong has returned to Luoyang, it is inconvenient for me to enter the palace late at night, you should be more careful in the palace, it is good to be able to return to the second prince, if you don't come back, you don't have to rush at this time. ”

"It's all your good luck that made me the way I am now." Gao Zhaorong still dragged a long and lazy sound, and his toes kicked the ground one by one.

"Don't act rashly without consulting with me," Gao Huan flicked his sleeve with his fingers, and a hovering moth fell to the ground quietly, "The last time you sent that letter privately, it almost ruined my big thing, if someone finds out that you secretly imitate Tuoba Hong's handwriting to contact the Southern Dynasty, all the bureaus in the past few years will be in vain." ”

"Ke'er is the son who is most like him," Gao Zhaorong looked indifferent, "The remaining two, one is a green-eyed wild seed, no matter how much he hides it, those old ministers know it in their hearts, and the other has a fat head and big ears and doesn't know who he looks like." She raised her eyes and looked at Gao Huan's face, and a bewitching smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth: "I looked at the eyes of that little wild seed, and thought it was a good thing you did, you followed the mountain, you won't take advantage of anything, right?" ”

Gao Huan got up and walked to the door, and opened half of the curtain with one hand: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”

Gao Zhaorong watched his back walk away, the corners of his mouth were still raised, but his eyes gradually revealed coldness, how could her Ke'er call other women concubines?

On the first night Tuoba Hong returned to Luoyang, he rested in the Huayin Palace, and Huai'er had to sleep with his father, but when he woke up, he found that he had been sent back to the nurse, and he was unhappy with his pouting all morning. Tuobahong put him on his shoulders and lifted him high a few times before he finally giggled again.

Lingshu came in and took Huai'er to wash his face, and Tuoba Hong held Feng Miao's hand again: "It's really difficult for you, when I was still outside the city yesterday, I heard my brother come to report that you were scolded with a cane, and I was really angry." I deliberately beat the prince at the gate of the palace, also to give a warning to those old ministers. ”

Feng Miao leaned on his chest and whispered: "I don't have anything, I just have to strike while the iron is hot, those old princes are at fault in this matter, and whatever the emperor asks, they will not object at this time." ”

"I know." Tuoba Hong kissed her lightly on the forehead, and an indescribable meaning suddenly surged in his heart, he was already the supreme emperor in the world, but he still couldn't arrange everything for his beloved woman, so as not to surprise her, so as not to make her suffer.

Tuoba Hong was afraid that she would think too much, so he deliberately said something else: "The Southern Dynasty will send an envoy to deliver the credentials of peace, and it will be about ten days away. I plan to let him serve in front of the Taiji Hall that day, isn't the Southern Dynasty always conceited and well-dressed, and there are many beautiful men, I will let them see, our Great Wei is also a beautiful man. ”

Feng Miao didn't think much about him, and said in a low voice: "The emperor himself is a handsome man, and when others go, they are just foiling the emperor." She was always happy to hear others compliment her brother, even the most useless of all appearances.

After Tuoba Hong left, Feng Miao called Su Wen in and asked her to pass on a message to the stars, saying that when the clothes for the palace banquet were given to Zhu Zidian, let the little palace maid who ran errands say one more word: The newly cut clothes this time are very beautiful in style and color, and they are the favorite of the singers and dancers of the Southern Dynasty. She deliberately bit an accent on the words "singer and dancer".

This time, she can make a complete reckoning with Feng Qing.
