The Ascension of Ghosts

A steady stream of famous posts were sent to Anguohou's mansion, and then transferred to Xie's mansion in Zhujie Lane by servants, but Xie Rong remained silent.

Two days later, Xie Rong finally made a move, but Lu Sheng's guesses were all in vain.He didn't go to anyone's house, he just took Lu Sheng into the palace to thank him.

When the carriage passed through the gate of Taicheng, Lu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Xie Rong.

At the beginning, his reputation was stigmatized, his official career was cut off, everyone betrayed his relatives, and everyone avoided him for fear of being too late. Even Emperor Meng Xian had to stay outside Taicheng to wait for him when he was summoned.

As time passed, he was finally able to step into the highest place in the world and show off his grand plans.

Lu Sheng guessed that he was somewhat emotional.

Turning her head, she saw Xie Rong's unhappy expression, leaning on the dark green embroidered day lily pillow, holding a book and reading intently and peacefully, even her eyelashes fluttered slightly after a long time.

An Guohou's full set of costumes and accessories was put on him, but it was a bit more grand than usual.

It's pretty, quiet, and pleasing.

Xie Rong Xu noticed it, and looked up.

The carriage happened to turn around the intersection, and it was a fine autumn day, and the sun shone in through the tulle, like a very delicate and delicate little golden butterfly, landing on the tip of his thick long eyelashes, flapping his wings lightly, the light and shadow suddenly flickered, and his eyes sparkled Yan, straight to the bottom of my heart.It's hard to describe the bitterness for a while, but after the bitterness, there is a little bit of sweetness left.

Lu Sheng was caught off guard, and even his breathing stopped for a few breaths. Seeing Xie Rong's smile, he felt ashamed and angry because his thoughts were seen through. He stared with a gloomy face, then turned his head and looked at the bricks outside the hazy gauze curtain. The wall passed by.

The two got off the carriage, Lu Sheng was an escort, and waited in the Xuanguang Hall, while Xie Rong accompanied the servants of the Huangmen to meet the saint.

Lu Sheng waited for a cup of tea, but there was still no sign of Xie Rong returning, feeling a little uneasy.That guy Xie Rong is bold and has always been used to a poisonous tongue. Although the current emperor knew Xie Rong well when he was the king of Pengcheng, and now he is the emperor, I'm afraid he is not as good-tempered as the young man of the former emperor. Injustice?

When he was thinking wildly, the door curtain was lifted, and a person walked in from the outside. He was dressed in splendid clothes, wearing a jade crown with sea pearls on his head, and laughed loudly: "Lu Gongcao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I see that your complexion is getting better." .”

Lu Sheng stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen the prince."

It was Sima Yu who came, and he approached with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Now he is the crown prince."

Lu Sheng also laughed, "That's right." Then he came back to his senses, and clasped his fists blushingly: "Your Highness, forgive me." Every time Gein met with Sima Yu, he was very coquettish and unassuming, even Lu Sheng also often forgot.

Sima Yu still didn't take it seriously, sat down beside Lu Sheng, and asked, "Rujia is still chatting with his father? It's been too long."

Lu Sheng became more and more worried. Seeing his appearance, Sima smiled and comforted him: "Lu Gongcao doesn't have to worry, if you pick someone up, he will definitely come back with all his tail."

The female official served the tea herself, and placed it on the mother-of-pearl black lacquer table by Sima Yu's hand. The female official was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with picturesque features and a slender figure. When she was pouring the tea, her eyes moved and she looked at Sima Yu several times with affection.Sima Yu turned a blind eye, his eyes only fell on Lu Sheng, and he said thoughtfully: "Lu Sheng, you have changed."

Lu Sheng's heart tightened suddenly, he raised the teacup bordered with gold leaf to cover his face, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is joking."

Sima Yu's eyes wandered, but he just smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'm wrong." Then he talked to him about the current affairs in Beijing.

Lu Sheng was guilty of a thief. Normally, if he was conferred the title of marquis, he should bring his family into the palace to thank him. Xie Rong acted like no one else, and only brought Lu Sheng into the palace. In the eyes of others, I'm afraid there was something wrong.

He didn't want to be looked at with strange eyes, and gradually felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Sima Yu is also a little absent-minded, he is romantic by nature, loves to imitate the style of celebrities, and loves beautiful women the most in his life. Although it has the purpose of hiding his ambitions and deceiving others, it is more or less because he really loves beautiful women, and men and women are not taboo.

Therefore, I first fell in love with Xie Rong, chased hopelessly, and turned to doting on Luo Sanniang, Mr. Suiyu, Liu Bailang and all kinds of beauties. If they gather together, they will bloom in the garden, but in the end they will all be abandoned. It's just a small pastime That's all.

When he met Lu Sheng for the first time, he thought that he was just an ordinary lowly official who was lucky enough to get on Xie Rong's line, and that he was just a discardable pawn.

However, when Wei Su conspired against him, all his disciples were implicated. For the first time in Xie Rong's life, Xie Rong asked him to help, and sent Lu Sheng to the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Daoist Ge Hong gave his disciples an order to go to the Protectorate of the Western Regions as well.

When the situation in the Western Regions was peaceful and Xie Rong wanted to return home, he directly petitioned Sima Jing, King of Pengcheng, and transferred Lu Sheng back to Jianye.

Looking at it now, it was clearly because he was not willing to part with that person even for a moment.

Sima Yu only remembered that this person was a young and handsome man, but he was too upright, he didn't understand the style, and he didn't know how to be sensible. If Xie Rong really thought about this young man, he would be blind.

However, when we met again after more than half a year, he was still the same person, still handsome and upright, and he was puzzled. Why did Sima Yu's throat tighten when he saw him smile, and when he heard him speak, he felt his claws scratching his heart and gave birth to the desire to kill him. Squeeze out the absurd idea of ​​playing with.

Then his thoughts froze, he restrained his distracted mind, but there was a vague guess in his heart.

Both of them had different thoughts, so naturally they didn't talk much.

When Xie Rong passed the holy hall and stepped into the wing room of Xuanguang Hall, he saw the two of them sitting together silently, drinking tea and eating snacks around the place.

Most of the plate of candied ginger in Lu Sheng's hand was eaten, Xie Rong smiled unconsciously, and approached and pressed the ginger slice that Lu Sheng was sending to his mouth, "What is it, I eat it with such relish."

He actually turned a blind eye to His Highness the Crown Prince at the side.

Lu Sheng came back to his senses, and stared blankly at the sliced ​​ginger in his hand, only to realize that his mouth was full of spicy food, his face flushed red, and he poured tea to rinse his mouth.Xie Rong then ordered: "Brew a cup of oolong tea, the stronger the taste, the better it will go."

The servant hurried away, and the room was in a hurry, leaving Sima Yu aside.

Sima Yu didn't care, just sighed with a smile: "Sure enough, the world is so cold. I see the newcomers laughing, but the old ones cry. I'm so sad."

Xie Rong stroked Lu Sheng's back, waited for him to recover, then fed him a candied winter melon, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is making a big joke, and I am very frightened. I don't know that His Royal Highness is waiting for you specially. What's the matter?"

Sima Yu was just joking, but now he snorted through his nostrils and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't want to joke with you, someone wants to see you, because of his status, it's inconvenient to call him, so he begged me to take you there."

Xie Rong said: "In this case, please ask the prince to lead the way."

Sima choked more and couldn't help muttering: "Rujue, you don't have to share with me, what kind of prince are you..."

Xie Rong said: "I used to be called the son of the world, but now I am called the prince. It is logical. How can we talk about the birth?"

Lu Sheng was left on the sidelines without making a sound, just drinking his tea with his head down, looking at his nose and heart, like a wood carving.

Sima Yu had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and lead the way for the two, along the winding Jiuqu bridge, across the misty lake, through the bamboo forest with all the yellow leaves, and walked for a full incense stick. The pavilion gradually disappeared, and the surrounding area became more and more desolate.

Just when Lu Sheng suspected that His Royal Highness was going to find a secluded place to kill the two of them, a small courtyard with white stones and black tiles appeared in front of him.

The maid in the courtyard heard the movement, came to open the door, and stood under the porch with a blessing: "I have seen His Royal Highness, An Guohou, and Lord Lu, and the empress dowager is waiting for you."

Sima Yu smiled and said: "Father likes An Guohou, so he dragged him to talk more, it was too late."

The palace maid just smiled and didn't dare to speak, she bowed her head and greeted the three of them to enter.

The courtyard is quiet and tidy, but there is no screen wall when you enter the door, but there are blocks of vegetable beds arranged neatly on the ground. At this time, in the deep winter, most of the branches and leaves are withered, and it is hard to see what has been planted. Le is also a wonderful person.

Going around the vegetable bed in the front yard, you can see three big houses with side rooms on the left and right, and when you enter the middle room, you will see the owner of the room.

A gray-haired lady dressed in silver-gray palace attire, sitting in the imperial couch covered with white fox fur, her appearance was only above average, her eyes were gentle, very elegant and dignified, she was watching everyone walk in with a smile.

Xie Rong said, "Concubine Wen's complexion is getting better."

The noble lady's eyes were more gentle, and she said with a smile: "Brother Rong's mouth is getting sweeter, sit down, sit down." Her voice is very charming, like the strings of a bass violin, it is very comfortable to hear .

Sima Yu also smiled and said: "Taufei, I brought you the man, I can go now."

Concubine Wen said: "His Royal Highness, I dare not delay the prince's trip. When you are free, come see my wife again."

Sima Yu slightly nodded, and said to the two of them: "Lu Gongcao, please. Ruzhu, please take a step to speak."

Xie Rong also gave him face, got up and followed him out of the room.

Sima Yu walked into the corridor, waved away the crowd, and then said with a smile: "Ru Chi, I'll discuss something with you."

Xie Rong said with his hands behind his back: "Speak."

Sima Yu said: "I just got a pair of beauties, born like a fish and a wild goose, and Luoshen's rebirth is nothing more than that. In addition, there are five hundred dancers and Lingtongs in the mansion, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers. I spent a lot of time collecting them. Now any You choose, give as much as you want, and only exchange one person with you."

Xie Rong frowned slightly: "Who should I replace?"

Sima Yu smiled and said, "Change to Lu Sheng."

Xie Rong said: "No."

Sima Yu sighed: "Five hundred beauties are not willing to change, then you have five hundred palace guards, this is the Ming Guang Guard established by my grandfather, all of them are strong, they are first-rate experts in spying, assassination, marching and fighting. "

Xie Rong said: "No." Impatient to talk to him, he turned around and left. Sima Yu hurriedly chased after two steps, and said again: "Ru Zhe, Ru Zhe, why are you so stingy. I will take two copper mines with you Change?"

Xie Rong stopped and said with a sneer: "His Royal Highness, Lu Gongcao, as a guard of the feather forest, is a loyal minister of our Great Jin Dynasty. If you compare him with the dancing girl Tongshan, if it spreads, it will chill the hearts of all the officials." I think it's my first offence, so I won't pursue it this time, Prince, so I can take care of myself."

Sima Yu just came back to his senses, he only thought that Lu Sheng might have been trained by Xie Rong, his facial features and posture were extremely attractive, he was so itchy that he forgot Lu Sheng's identity for a while.

It's just that he has tasted the taste of power after all, and everyone respects and admires him. Now that Xie Rong pokes the pain, he is inevitably a little angry, but he sneers, "I am impatient. If this is the case, I will kiss Lu Gongcao more... "

Before he finished speaking, he heard the wind blowing his clothes, Sima Yu's eyes blurred, and Xie Rong's handsome face that could make people fascinated was close in front of him, but his throat was firmly clamped by a strong hand , so tight that he couldn't breathe.In an instant, crowds of guards appeared in the empty courtyard, either in green clothes or blue clothes, facing each other with swords and swords.

Now that Sima Yu is the crown prince, he has strict guards in Taicheng. Unexpectedly, Xie Rong, as a subject, went deep into Taicheng, and these guards sneaked in without knowing it. If he wants to do something...

The more Sima didn't dare to think about it, his heart was already cold, and his back was covered with cold sweat. The complacency he had just born was completely extinguished by a basin of cold water, and there was no spark left.

Xie Rong's fingers were gradually inserted into the prince's neck like iron hooks, and his cold voice pierced into the ears like ice knives, saying word by word: "Sima Yu, if you dare to touch a hair of Lu Sheng, I can make you ascend the heavens , naturally it can also save you forever."
