Suo Diling

At the beginning of the fourth year of Xuanhe, Xiao Lan changed his Yuan to Yong'an, and since then, he has officially proclaimed himself emperor.

Since the day Xiao Lan ascended the throne, the frequency of his sending people to deliver medicine pills has decreased a lot. He probably saw me coughing up blood and coughing up badly at the festival, fearing that I would die of illness, or maybe it was because of seeing me sick like this. I can't make trouble anymore, even though my feet are restrained, I'm really treated as an overlord, and I'm well-clothed and well-fed.

But I know that the value of my life will not be preserved forever, and Xiao Lan will not really allow me to have a good death.

When autumn came next year, my health improved a little, and I didn't need someone to help me when I walked, but I still couldn't breathe when I walked faster, and I was about to fall when a gust of wind blew.I have seen my current appearance in the mirror, my complexion is much paler than before when I was healthy, but my cheeks are always glowing with a strange blush, matching my pair of slender and romantic sleeping hypnotic eyes, it seems that I have drunk too much After drinking, he looked drunk and blurred.There were rumors in the palace how the deposed emperor was having fun in the palace, spending time and drinking, and getting drunk all day long.

In fact, this is true. Although Xiao Lan deprived me of my freedom, he could not restrict my entertainment. I often called actors and troupes to the Court of Meditation, and made a fuss for a whole night before sending them away the next day.

Naturally, calling them in is not just to relieve worries. Among these actors and actresses, there are hidden guards I have secretly trained.I used them to get rid of my half-brothers who were restless and not smart enough, as well as my mother-in-law, Empress Meng, who was trying to control me when I first came to the throne.But Xiao Lan is smarter than them, he will not let go of his monitoring easily, of course I dare not act rashly, I have to go down like this until he believes that I have really become a deposed emperor who has no threat to him.

So I started to put on an actor's costume, put on a mask, and carried a puppet, and sang puppet shows all night long.

Gradually, rumors that I was crazy spread like wildfire, and naturally reached the ears of Xiao Lan who was busy with political affairs.

That night, when I was communicating with my hidden guards about the situation in the palace through a puppet show, Xiao Lan came unexpectedly.

He came to see me to see if I was really crazy.

At that time, he listened with great interest outside the door, and I sang nonsense inside the door. When the song was over, he clapped his hands and applauded. Drive them all away, sit down and watch alone.Naturally, I acted for him, drinking and singing with a wine jug, walking up to Xiao Lan staggeringly, staring at him with squinted drunken eyes, but Xiao Lan made a move that I didn't expect.

He grabbed my arm, snatched the flagon from my hand, and drank it in one gulp.

I remember his pair of dark and gloomy eyes, and the throbbing throat when he swallowed. He didn't seem to be drinking, as if he was drinking my blood, eating my flesh, and chewing my bones.Xiao Ling, I will choose a concubine soon, who do you think I should choose?There are hundreds of beauties in my Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, but none of them can catch my eyes, what do you think should I do?You said, why did the royal father dote on your biological mother, Mrs. Yu, who was the most beautiful in Kyushu, and dote on her alone, and look down on other concubines?

I was surprised by Xiao Lan's words, obviously I was pretending to be crazy, but Xiao Lan seemed crazier than me.

This is so creepy and so funny.

I laughed drunkenly, but Xiao Lan didn't smile, he stared at me for a while, then suddenly got up and pushed me down on the table.

With a "bang", the jug smashed to the ground, like a golden spear and iron horse, swords intersecting.

I guess he thought of his mother who fell out of favor because of my mother, and suddenly became murderous towards me, still in a drunken state, slumped on the table like a prey that presented its throat to a predator.I know that Xiao Lan will not kill me now, he has just ascended the throne, and there are old ministers and old ministries who have not forgotten me in the court, they regard my father's royal edict passed on to me more than their fate.Xiao Lan lowered his head, and put his lips close to my ears. The breath between his lips and teeth was like a poisonous and hungry snake. His body was much stronger than I thought, and he was not as thin and thin as he looked.

His voice was soft and soft, Xiao Ling, why do you think I keep such a derelict emperor like you, and respect you as the Supreme Emperor?Do you really think that I am only concerned about the eyes of the world, afraid that I will be scolded for usurping power?Are you really afraid of those old officials in the court, looking forward and backward, not daring to really take your life?I have all kinds of considerations, but there are other reasons.

I closed my eyes and pretended to be too drunk to hear, but I felt the side of my neck was burning hot from his breath.

Xiao Ling, because you are very interesting.If you're smart enough, you should know how to be more interesting and live longer.

I will come to see you again.He said.When you are awake, Xiao Ling, don't let me come back disappointed.

After Xiao Lan left, I stayed up all night, pondering his words over and over again, the more I thought about them, the more unbelievable and disgusting I felt.He is the same prince as me, but half-brother, even if he wants to get revenge on me for bullying him with other brothers, he should not say such absurd and ambiguous words, as if he wants to...

He wants... Let me, a former emperor, do something to please him.

I felt chills in my heart, looked at my aching wrist, a few bright red finger marks stood out, very eye-catching, so I brushed off the wide sleeves of the costume and walked out the door.In front of the Yousi Court is a lake, and on the other side of the lake is the central hall of the imperial palace. Now that is no longer my domain, spring and autumn come and go, as if it has been a lifetime.I stopped on the shore of the lake and looked at the opposite side, and found several brightly dressed figures riding horses chasing and frolicking in the forest.

Those are Xiao Lan's heirs.

Among them, the one riding a black steed was obviously the little wolf cub. He seemed to have the talent of a barbarian. He leaned against the horse's back and galloped the horse in a natural and wild way, which was incompatible with Xiao Lan's other descendants.

As if seeing me looking at him, the little wolf cub reined in the reins and stopped. The horse shook its head and flicked its tail, restless. Another boy, much older, came up to him and whipped his horse severely. Hearing a neigh on his body, the horse hoofed in fright, neighed, and threw the man on the horse into the lake.

But when I heard a burst of laughter, I saw the little wolf cub thrashing and struggling in the lake, but no one came to rescue me, I gave a loud shout, and the princes on the bank knew who I was, whispered to each other, and dispersed.I called the guards in the courtyard and dragged the little wolf cub ashore.He was drenched, choked with water, fell on the ground and coughed, the hairpin on his head was gone, and the hair on his head became curly and messy, showing the rebelliousness of the barbarians.In just one year, his physique has become much stronger, his shoulders have become wider, and his back has become thicker. He really grows faster than a wolfhound.

"Thank you, Uncle Xie." He propped himself up, but he didn't dare to lift his wet and curly head to look at me, as he was at a loss like when we first met, when a biting autumn wind blew, he sneezed.

"Since you are calling Gu Gu to the emperor's uncle, don't be so afraid of Gu, Gu will not eat you." I chuckled lightly, like the wolf cub I picked up on the grassland back then, and led him into the courtyard of meditation.This time, I have to tame this wolf well.

Because, he may be a knife in my hand in the future.

But when I recalled that day later, I was heartbroken, because I did not sharpen a knife, but lured wolves into the house.
