Your Majesty Cheng Huan

Emperor Jing drove to the East Palace, but he saw neither the prince nor the grand tutor.The man in the palace replied: "The prince, Tai Tuo, and Young Master Liu are playing hide-and-seek."

"Hide and seek?" Emperor Jing asked calmly, "Where are they now?"

Several palace people looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them knew.Emperor Jing frowned, seeing this scene, Xiao Dezi leaned forward and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to..." Before he finished speaking, Emperor Jing raised his hand, Xiao Dezi quickly stopped talking, and resumed He stepped back and stood aside respectfully.

"Since it's for fun, you don't want to spoil the scenery."

After Emperor Jing finished speaking, he walked out of the hall.Xiao Dezi waited for the rest of the palace people to stay in place, bowed their heads and responded in unison: "Nuo—"

The East Palace is indeed not small, and Li Chenghuan felt this when he first arrived.Xiao He originally wanted to hide from Young Master Liu Lin, but at this moment, the two children could not be found, and they did not know where they went.

First, he searched all over Changle Palace, Bozhi Pavilion, Donggong Martial Arts Field by himself.If Xiao He wanted to hide, he would have to hide in a place where no one was around, so he had no choice but to find the backyard where almost no one visited on weekdays.

The East Palace was originally the prince's residence, and the backyard is where the prince's concubines live.Like the four palaces of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the backyard of the East Palace has been vacant since the first emperor's reign.Now that the prince is still young, he will have to wait at least another ten years to accept his concubine. The backyard is vacant and it will be vacant. Even the palace people don't bother to clean it.

Li Chenghuan came to a palace, looked up, and saw the words "Ping An Pavilion" written on the plaque, big gilded characters, but now it was dusty, even the dazzling gold was inevitably gray.

He tried to call twice: "He'er? Are you there?" Only his own echo responded to him, and the whole hall was so quiet that it was even a little gloomy.

The setting sun gradually sank, without candles, the hall gradually dimmed.Li Chenghuan brought a fire book with him, touched the candlestick, and lit the candle.I don't know when these candles were replaced, and each of them was still unburned. As soon as they were lit, inch-long flames sprang up immediately.Although it still can't fully illuminate the hall, seeing things is no longer a problem.

He searched for such a long afternoon, and was tired from walking, so he wanted to take a rest right now, but the stools and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust, so he had no choice but to enter the inner hall, intending to find a bed to sit on .So, he took a candlestick, walked in, and casually looked at the palace by the candlelight.The sound of footsteps echoed clearly in the hall. Everything here is in order, except for the dust covering everything, which shows that it has been forgotten by time for more than 60 years.

Stretch out your hand to open the bead curtain, and there is a light "clang" sound when the pearls and jade collide.Li Chenghuan held the candlestick in one hand, and carefully guarded the dancing flames with the other hand, and saw the big bed at a glance.The bed curtain was lifted up and hung on the hooks on both sides of the bedpost. The quilt was neatly folded and spread flat on the inside, embroidered with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

He put the candlestick on the stool, sat down by the bed, and beat his legs while looking around.There is a dresser against the right wall, and there is a window opposite the dresser, which is closed at this time.He walked over and opened the window. Outside was the corridor facing the water. A crescent moon passed through the window and was just reflected in the mirror on the dressing table.

He came to the dressing table and sat there for a while.The figure of the person just blocked the moonlight, so it was pitch black in the mirror.He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Li Chenghuan stood up, picked up the candlestick again, and when he walked past the dressing table, he stopped and looked again.There was a not-so-comfortable atmosphere in this peace pavilion, like a mournful boudoir, staring at him quietly.Eager to tell him something, but fell into helpless silence before opening his mouth.

He felt a little flustered, and wanted to leave here quickly, but suddenly his legs gave way, and he knelt powerlessly on the cold floor.The candlestick rolled to the ground and went out after a while.Li Chenghuan was like a drowning man, who had torn even the last life-saving straw, lying on the ground and gasping for breath.

Emperor Jing broke in suddenly, with a flustered look on his face, he picked up Li Chenghuan who was on the ground, ignoring his weak struggle, and strode out of the hall with him in his arms.It was not until the open space outside that he was put down.

Xiao Qian raised his face to look, under the moonlight, Li Chenghuan's eyes were slack, but his eyes couldn't stop crying.Xiao Qian patted his cheek anxiously: "Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan! Cheng Huan!"

Li Chenghuan's eyes gradually cleared up, but when he looked at him, he even cried harder than before.Xiao Qian also panicked, and hastily wiped away the tears on his face, but at this moment, Li Chenghuan grabbed his arm.

Xiao Qian stopped, looked at him quietly, and heard him crying weakly: "Xiao Qian, why do you treat me like this? You said you don't want me...you don't want me anymore. When you are interested, you put it on again." I put it by my side, and let it dry in a lukewarm way... Li Chenghuan is not heartless, he used to have his whole heart towards you..."

Xiao Qian lowered his head in distress, kissed away the tears on his face, and couldn't help crying: "Cheng Huan...Cheng Huan..."

Li Chenghuan struggled, Xiao Qian pinched his hand behind his back and locked him in his arms.He kept scolding: "Bastard... bastard Xiao Qian...I hate you, I hate you to death..."

"I'm an asshole, Cheng Huan, hit me, don't hate me..."

Xiao Qian let go of his hand, and as soon as Li Chenghuan got out of the bondage, he kicked and hit him with both hands and feet, crying continuously while beating.Tired of beating and crying, she nestled into his arms again, clutching the clothes on his chest tightly.

Xiao Qian had no choice but to pick him up, looked at the main hall of the Ping'an Pavilion flickering with candlelight in the night, performed his lightness kung fu, and disappeared in the backyard of the East Palace in a blink of an eye.

Ever since Zhang Yu, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stepped down, Lu Ming has been in charge of the Imperial Forest Army from this deputy commander.On this day, he was supervising the punishment of a newly arrived Imperial Forest Army who made a mistake, when he suddenly noticed that someone broke into the Imperial Forest, and his subordinates showed no mercy, so he threw a bamboo leaf dart into the air.

"Who?!"

However, to his surprise, the visitor escaped his attack unscathed and landed in the yard.He was about to draw his sword, but at this moment, he saw the face of the person coming.

Lu Ming groaned in his heart, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "I don't know that the emperor came here and offended Shengwei, please punish the emperor!"

Xiao Qian glanced at him and said: "You are good at it." Then he hugged the person in his arms and went straight to one of the many rooms in Yulin Office.

Lu Ming stood up timidly and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.At this time, a guard from the side approached and said mysteriously: "Commander, have you seen the person the emperor is holding, it seems to be..."

Before the man finished speaking, Lu Mingcong slapped him on the back of the head: "So much nonsense!" He raised his eyes and saw that the person who was punished just now had stopped, and the one who was punished also looked excited Looking in the direction where Emperor Jing was going, Lu Mingcong immediately became angry: "Who told you to stop! Continue to beat me! Thirty lashes are not enough, add another [-] lashes! You brat..."

He Xiaowan immediately made a face of pain, but he didn't dare to disobey the commander's order, so he had to put the water basin on his head again, straighten his back, and let the punishing Imperial Forest Army beat him with a whip, without a sound Dare not say anything.

Lu Ming finally calmed down his hostility, thought for a while, and said to the people next to him: "Call Hongxiu back and say that the emperor is here."

The people next to him got the order, bowed their heads in response, turned around and left the yard.Lu Ming looked at the direction where Emperor Jing had just come from, frowned, then looked back for a moment, and said humanely to the other side: "I didn't eat milk! Hit me hard!"

Li Chenghuan cried until his tears dried up, but he still kept humming, Xiao Qian had no choice but to see him go on like this, so he had no choice but to slash his neck lightly with a hand knife, making Li Chenghuan faint.Gently laying his head on the pillow, Xiao Qian frowned, sighed worriedly, and planted a kiss on his forehead.

Hongxiu knocked on the door lightly, and waited for the person inside to answer: "Come in." She gently opened the door and went in.Without raising his head, he knelt down and listened to the order: "The red sleeves of the imperial forest army will see the emperor."

Xiao Qian nodded: "Well—get up." Hong Xiu stood up, but still did not look up, Xiao Qian glanced at the person on the bed, and ordered: "Take a few people to the East Palace, find the prince and Liu Xiao Young master, send them to the imperial concubine. Also, call me Zhang Hu."

"Your subordinates take orders!" Hongxiu turned around to go out, but Emperor Jing stopped her again: "Wait!" He paused, and said, "Let Zhang Wei take my kouyu directly to Tianyi Valley, please God machine Sir, enter the palace and have a talk."

The imperial concubine was woken up in the middle of the night. She was upset and wanted to vent her anger on someone, but it turned out that it was Xiao He who had come.The people who came said that the Taifu's family had an urgent matter and left the palace overnight, and the little prince was going to be taken care of by her for a few days, along with Liu Lin, the son of Princess Donghua, Young Master Liu.

The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, looked at the person coming, and said: "You are not from the East Palace."

The person who came replied: "We are the Imperial Forest Army. We are ordered by the emperor to send the prince and young master here. The imperial concubine and empress... don't you even understand what the emperor means?"

The noble concubine's face was dark: "I know about it. I'm sorry."

"Don't dare, then we will leave first."

After the imperial army left, the imperial concubine trembled with anger and dropped several pieces of porcelain in the room.Then he sat back on the chair, breathing for a long time and couldn't calm down: "Yu Linjun...even a slave dares to talk to me like that!"

The maid at the side came close to her and comforted her master: "Your Majesty, people say that the most powerful people in this palace are not first-rank officials or favored concubines, but the Imperial Forest Army. Who will let the emperor take a fancy to them?" ? Don’t be angry, you’ve broken your body in vain.”

The imperial concubine smiled with restrained anger in her eyes: "Hmph! Your Majesty? Your Majesty is becoming more and more unwilling to save face for me..."
