Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Heart Grows Strange

Liancheng suddenly leaned on the table with his head in his hands, his whole body trembling, and he whimpered and didn't know what he was saying.

Gu Qing was dumbfounded by this scene.

Zhao Gonggong sighed distressedly, patted Liancheng's back, and said words like don't be afraid.

"Father-in-law Zhao, the emperor ......"

"The emperor has been in the shadow since he was a child, and his mood changes a lot when it rains. Especially in the summer rainstorm, when the lightning and thunder are roaring, the mood swings are even greater. The old slave said in the Qiankun Palace, it's raining outside, let's not go out tonight, the emperor doesn't listen, he insists on coming to the Phoenix Palace to see the third lady, isn't it? ”

Be...... In order to come to see her, Gu Qing stepped forward cautiously, didn't dare to touch him, tilted his head and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's gone quickly. Zhao Gonggong comforted.

Lian Cheng raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly hugged Gu Qing, buried his head in her waist, and muttered to himself. Gu Qing dismissed Zhao Gonggong and Jinque, and there were only two of them in the palace.

"Don't leave me......" I heard him mutter, and another thunderclap sounded outside, and Liancheng tightened her tighter.

"Don't be afraid. ”

Suddenly the two words entered Liancheng's ears, and he remembered that rainy night, the same torrential rain, and his parents were lying in the muddy rain, and the blood was washed away by the rain for a long time.

His mother's warm body gradually became cold, and he experienced the death of his parents overnight, and he has been helpless ever since. Before leaving, his mother kept holding his little hand, even if it was only his last breath, it was just two words: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Mother......" he muttered, Gu Qing pulled over the chair next to him and sat down, just hugging him. No matter what kind of wind and rain is blowing outside the hall, he doesn't care, he just wants to absorb warmth in front of the people around him, and he just wants to find a happy land.

When she woke up in the morning, she noticed the writhing in her arms, Gu Qingxin opened her eyes and found that Liancheng Qingming's eyes were looking straight at her.

"Awake?" Gu Qing only felt a sore back and dizzy head, rubbed the corners of his forehead lightly, and called the sparrow outside the hall in, "The emperor is awake, let's prepare breakfast." ”

"Yes. ”

She acted as if she was already the master of the Phoenix Palace.

Liancheng looked at himself, then at her, and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start. If memory serves, he woke up in her arms, and he spent the night in a daze, one moment the sound of lightning and thunder, the other whispering of concern.

His fingers moved, and he seemed to feel the warmth of her as his fingertips rested.

"We ......"

Gu Qing moved to wash, covered his face with a handkerchief, and said in a muffled voice: "We have nothing to do, do you want to wash up, Your Majesty? I had to catch up on the sleep again, and I didn't sleep well all night. ”

Yes, Liancheng slept soundly, and she adjusted her sleeping position all night, for fear of waking him up.

Listening to his whispers, it was the death of his parents that hit him hard, which directly led to a great change in his temperament and the desire to be the emperor.

"I didn't sleep well last night. ”

"Huh?" Gu Qing said to himself: "Your Majesty, you were still snoring last night." ”

“......”

Zhao Gonggong asked to see him, and as soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw the two fighting like children.

"Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to court early. ”

When Jinque had just prepared breakfast, Gu Qing said, "Let's eat something and then go." The body is the capital. ”

Liancheng nodded and sat down at the table obediently. After Gu Qing did a simple dress-up, he also came over to eat, and seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, he took the lead in picking out a big meat bun and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"

He shook his head, "I'm waiting for you." ”

Gonggong Zhao raised his eyebrows, tsk, when did the emperor become so sensational? Could it be that he really cultivated a relationship with Gu Qing last night? However, Duke Zhao smiled heartily, and the emperor never let him down.

remembered that when I first met Gu Qing, it was in the Phoenix Pavilion in the street, and at that time, it could be seen that the emperor had never contradicted her. Zhao Gonggong silently looked at the two people who were eating, and he really liked Gu Qing's girl.

"What did I say last night?" Maybe because of last night, Liancheng still had some ...... this morning Shy, drinking porridge is also extremely young daughter. On the other hand, Gu Qing ate meat buns and drank porridge in large gulps, and he didn't care at all.

"Last night?" Gu Qing thought about it, and Gonggong Zhao glanced at her and motioned her not to say anything, but unfortunately Gu Qing didn't see it, she said: "Your Majesty, you said that you want to destroy the remnants of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop, and let the people stay in the palace." ”

"Did I really say that?" He touched his head and had a vague impression.

Gu Qingman didn't care, one meat bun was down, he didn't feel very full, and he sandwiched another one, and heard Liancheng whisper out three words: "I'm sorry." ”

Karma?

She heard her right, right? A hand trembled, and the meat bun almost fell into the red bean porridge.

"Apologize to me? They're all dying people anyway, so there's no need for that. ”

I can barely remember some of the things I said yesterday. Liancheng felt guilty that he didn't choose what to say, and it seemed that he had to change his mood when it rained.

"No one can hurt you. ”

Gu Qing approached his face and grinned, "Does the emperor have a crush on the people?"

Zhao Gonggong was dumbfounded, and he had never seen a woman ask directly.

Liancheng had a black line and pushed her away, "I've gone to the early dynasty." ”

At this time, someone from outside the palace came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Su is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

What is she going to do?

Gu Qing quickly wiped his mouth, and regardless of whether he was full or not, he began to rush to the inner hall as he spoke. She wants to find a place to hide, Su Guifei has already had a holiday with her, not to mention, the key is that her situation is very embarrassing.

Liancheng was silent, put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I went out to see her." ”

The only palace in the harem without a plaque is the envy of all the concubines, and its luxury can be called a place of pleasure on heaven and earth.

A few days to the palace there are rumors that the emperor has hidden a woman in this palace, although his identity has not been clarified, it can be seen that the emperor often comes here, presumably a lovely beautiful girl.

Concubine Su didn't wait long before she saw Liancheng walking out with steady steps, she leaned over and saluted, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

Liancheng was too lazy to take care of her, and yesterday he came to him to complain for a little thing, like a child playing at home, and refused to suffer. Her beautiful eyes were shrewd, and she looked into the Phoenix Palace, but she didn't see anything except a few palace maids coming and going.

Liancheng remained silent: "What's the matter with Concubine Su?"

"The concubine heard that the emperor was staying here early on, so she thought about which sister could get the emperor's favor, so she wanted to come and see the beauty. Su Guifei said gracefully. Since she slipped the tire, her temperament has not been restrained, but she has become more domineering than before, and she often pretends to be pitiful in front of Liancheng, and she has to complain every day.

"Your concubine is really leisurely, it is better to go back to the palace to learn temperament from your aunt when you have that time. If I'm in a bad mood one day, I don't have time to listen to your chatter. "Liancheng has never said such a thing to Su Guifei, today is the first case, and it will be the norm in the future.

"The emperor is reasonable, and the concubines will return to the palace and do so. ”

Listening to his words that didn't give him any affection, Su Guifei knew that she had met a tiger's buttocks, and she was even more curious about who lived in the palace.

After sending away Su Guifei and lazily going to the morning court, Liancheng plunged into the imperial study.

The folds have been processed, and Liancheng casually flipped through the books on governing the country and the people, and read for a long time, but he didn't read a word. Gonggong Zhao grinded for him, glanced at him from time to time, and said with a smile in his heart: The emperor is absent-minded, I don't know which woman he is thinking of?

"You say, what is the difference between Gu Qing and other women?" Liancheng pondered for a long time but didn't find an answer.

Zhao Gonggong said: "Why does the emperor ask like this?"

Lian Cheng propped his chin with one hand and said thoughtfully: "In short, in my opinion, her conduct and personality are not comparable to ordinary women. I've also heard rumors about her in the people, which trivial matter has been solved or what case has been solved. It can be seen that her insight is also quite outstanding. ”

Zhao Gonggong pulled the corners of his mouth, yo, I didn't expect the emperor to have two brushes, he didn't ask and answer, and he praised Gu Qing all over again.

"She's quick-witted and often angry. I felt that she was different, and I didn't see any difference. ”

Gonggong Zhao had the courage to whisper: "Does the emperor mean that her identity is different, or is it different from Murong's relationship?"

Although his words are a bit presumptuous, they are really right.

Liancheng put down his book, leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head and began to think.

This morning, she said a few words lightly about the remnants of the previous dynasty, which means that she must have heard of it beforehand, or already knew her identity. And between her and Murong, there is an unclear relationship. He had no intention of destroying this beautiful relationship, but his desire made him unable to stop his legs.

At first, he wanted to attack Murong.

But now, he really thinks that girl is a little interesting.

Although he slept very deeply last night, he could still feel the whispering in his ears and the tapping on his back. Her voice was infectious, and Liancheng remembered his mother who taught him to sing nursery rhymes as a child.

"Your Majesty, do you like Gu Qing? The old slave also looked at that girl with some pleasure. Zhao Gonggong asked tentatively.

The word "like" immediately appeared in Liancheng's mind, he liked Gu Qing, how could it be?

After a moment's pause, he narrowed his eyes and replied, "Do you know the purpose of my approach to her, didn't you knowingly ask?"

"Old Slave ......"

"Also, you've been talking a lot of nonsense today. Go, go, I'm hungry, hurry to the imperial dining room and get some pastries. ”

Liancheng urged him, snatched the ink cartridge in his hand, and locked him out of the door with kicks and pushes.

It was quiet in the imperial study, and Liancheng thought that he needed to be quiet.

She asked him why he had summoned her to the palace, and why had he confined her to the Phoenix Palace.

With a pursing of his lips, Liancheng forgot how he had replied to her at that time. However, only he knows, in fact, he cannot be sure of an answer.
