In the silent palace walls, no one noticed the unusual noise in Ningjin Palace, it was short and quick like a dream.

Huo Zhi didn't expect that he would be so weak, he just lost consciousness after bleeding a little.When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a luxurious and unfamiliar bedroom, with no one around, but the dragon robe hanging by the bed always reminded him whose dragon bed he was sleeping in.

Huo Zhi moved his body, a sharp pain came from his bandaged shoulder, he pressed the wound, wondering what happened to Huo Chan.

Last night, his memory only stayed in the scene of Lu Rongjue hitting Huo Chan to the ground with a palm, and Huo Chan pulled out the bayonet. His wound bled in an instant, and he passed out in the dark. .Before losing consciousness, the last voice he heard was from Lu Rongjue, hurried and hoarse, panic he had never seen before.

"woke up?"

Suddenly, Lu Rongjue, dressed in court clothes, pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked slowly.There was still majesty on his face, covering up the tiredness between his brows and eyes, "Does the wound still hurt?"

Huo Zhi was still in pain, but shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Fortunately, I was there last night." Lu Rongjue sat beside Huo Zhi's bed, smoothing his hair, "otherwise, I don't know what that woman would do."

"How is Huo Chan?"

"I killed."

Huo Zhi was startled.

Lu Rongjue observed his reaction, and curled the corners of his lips, "I'm lying to you, I put her in a prison, and it's up to you to kill her or cut her up."

"Don't kill me yet," Huo Zhi hesitated for a while, "Let her stay there for now, and we'll talk about it later."

"I knew you would be soft-hearted." As if thinking of something, Lu Rongjue's eyes darkened, "What happened last night?"

"I don't understand why she wants to kill me. It's like being possessed by an evil spirit." Huo Zhi didn't want to reveal his secrets, and a look of tiredness appeared on his face, "Anyway, I'm fine, let it pass."

"It's okay to be injured like this? Is your body made of iron?" Lu Rongjue chuckled, "I will find out how she broke into the palace. You just need to heal your injuries now, except for your heart. Dian, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"The Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

"From now on, you will live here," Lu Rongjue's voice became deep, "I don't worry if you don't put it under my nose."

Huo Zhi pinched the corner of the quilt, "I sleep here, what about you?"

"Sleeping with you, of course."

Lu Rongjue's tone of reason made Huo Zhi both annoyed and funny, feeling that the injury he suffered this time made it easier for Lu Rongjue?Apart from taking care of Huo Chan, there seems to be no other benefit.

"Don't think about it, An Sheng stay here." Lu Rongjue rubbed the back of Huo Zhi's neck, like treating a domestic pet, "If you want anything, tell the servants, they will listen to you."

"Are you not afraid that I will run away this time?"

Lu Rongjue looked up at him, "Do you dare?"

Of course Huo Zhi was daring in his heart, but when he met Lu Rongjue's murderous eyes, he could only shake his head slowly.

"You rest first, I still have business to deal with."

"it is good."

Lu Rongjue smiled at him faintly, this smile was more cordial and gentle than before.

"Why do I feel that he is happier when I get hurt?" Huo Zhi said sarcastically.

The system replied, "Lu Rongjue let his guard down, I think now is a good time for the host to escape."

"What can I do if I escape? I have no backing and no money. Everything I use on my body comes from Lu Rongjue. I'm afraid that even if I escape, I will only be more sad than now," Huo Zhi said lazily, "First Let's figure it out, anyway, the original body's wish is to live well, so living is more important than anything else."

Save your life first, and then slowly gain freedom.

"After a few days, you will follow me to the court to listen to the government." Lu Rongjue said leisurely to Lu Yuan in front of him, approving the paperwork in his hand.

"Yes, Father."

Lu Rongjue raised his eyes and stared at him, "Why don't you contradict me like you did a few days ago?"

Lu Yuan replied flatly, "At that time, the minister was ignorant and talked nonsense. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"I never blamed you, who made me get used to it." Lu Rongjue put down his pen, "Are you satisfied with the princess I chose for you?"

Half a month had passed since the wedding banquet, and when Lu Yuan heard this question, he couldn't help laughing, "Very well, Lan'er is well educated, gentle and virtuous, and I like it very much."

"As long as you like it," Lu Rongjue stroked the wrench on his hand, smiling inexplicably, "Go on, don't forget what I just told you."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

When Lu Yuan retreated, Lu Rongjue stretched out his hand to summon Eunuch Li, and asked in a deep voice, "Send someone to find out what the prince is doing these days and who he met, do you know?"

"twitter."

Despite the turmoil in the dark, the peaceful time in the light has passed silently.

Just as Lu Rongjue ordered, Huo Zhi never stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the largest area was the garden behind the hall.His obedience made Lu Rongjue less vigilant than before, and occasionally dismissed a few court ladies to give him greater freedom. The so-called control seemed to be gradually relaxing.

Lu Yuan's life also began to get busy. He had to go to the court every morning to listen to the government and deal with official affairs.His brain is not stupid, but his thoughts were not on it before. Until now, Lu Yuan has finally put all his energy on studying court affairs. His progress is obvious to all ministers including Lu Rongjue. Lu Rongjue is gratified, but in his heart There is still a grudge somewhere.

He had investigated Lu Yuan, his son, very early on.The other party's life is so simple that he himself can't believe it.The first thing Lu Yuan did after he came down from court was to go home. Occasionally, he would drink tea with Chen Fenglin for only half a day. , and the only true friend, there is no one else in Lu Yuan's life circle.

Of course Lu Rongjue believed in the source of the news, but such a seemingly perfect result did not seem to be what he really wanted.

"You don't have to follow me anymore," Huo Zhi said to the court lady in the back garden, "Go to the imperial dining room to prepare dinner first, and don't keep the emperor waiting."

"But the emperor ordered the slaves to ensure your safety."

"I'm not going anywhere here, how can I get hurt?"

"But......"

Huo Zhi interrupted her, "Well, this is not the first time, don't worry, the emperor will not blame you."

The court lady could only nod her head, and left the huge back garden to Huo Zhi alone.

Of course, it's not just one person.

"Huo Zhi, I miss you so much."

Before Huo Zhi could turn around, he fell into a warm embrace first, and he knew who it was just by the sound.Huo Zhi was slightly taken aback, letting Lu Yuan hug him, his heartbeat seemed to be a few beats faster than usual.

"Okay, let me go first."

"No."

Huo Zhi pressed Lu Yuan's shoulder helplessly, "If there is nothing important, Your Highness should not take the risk to see me."

Lu Yuan stared at him obsessively, covering up his jealousy towards Lu Rongjue, "Why? My royal father imprisoned you in this square, but you didn't complain at all. I just came to see you secretly a few times and you were in a hurry Push me out."

"These are two different things and cannot be compared."

"It's true anyway."

Today's Lu Yuan is getting more and more difficult to speak, and his stubborn and authoritarian appearance is more like Lu Rongjue.

Huo Zhibie started, "I'm having a good time here, Your Highness doesn't have to come so often."

Lu Yuan didn't know who he was mocking, "Of course you can have a good life with the pampering of the emperor, but I don't have a good life at all."

"What's on your mind, Your Highness?"

"You are the one who knows what's on my mind," Lu Yuan grabbed his hand and put it on his chest, every word seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart, "I want you."

Huo Zhi raised his head and stared at his longing eyes, he could only take out his hand, and replied, "Your Highness has already married a wife, besides, I will not leave your royal father either."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, it seemed that Huo Zhi's indifference hurt Lu Yuan, a dark color flashed across his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Huo Zhi couldn't bear it, he took a step back, "Your Highness, go back."

"Can you do me a favor?" Lu Yuan said suddenly, "I just need you to do one last thing for me, and I will never bother you again."

"What are you busy with?"

"Give Lu Rongjue the medicine bag I gave you last time."

Huo Zhi froze in place, "Medicine package? You mean...the stuff in that letter?"

Lu Yuan seemed to be smiling, "You still hide that letter? It seems that you don't have no affection for me."

"What medicine is in there?"

"It's nothing dangerous, it's just drugged..."

Hearing this, Huo Zhi interrupted him, "You want me to stun your father? Why?"

Lu Yuan reached out and grabbed his arm, and said softly, "I want to set you free."

"you......"

"Huo Zhi, listen to me," Lu Yuan looked at him closely, "I've hesitated and prepared for this matter for a long time, I know that you can't help yourself in this deep palace, you can't ask for it. , me too. And it's all Lu Rongjue's fault, you just said you won't leave him, it's because you can't leave him, you have to be controlled by him, you actually want to escape from him, I said Right?"

Huo Zhi looked at him, but didn't speak.

"I've been living under his control and shadow for so many years, and I'm used to it," Lu Yuan smiled wryly, "It's because of you that I feel unwilling for the first time, and it's also because of you that I feel hopeless. I live like a marionette After so many years, when someone suddenly appeared in my life that I wanted to catch, everything changed.

Lu Rongjue took you away arbitrarily. He forced me to marry a woman I didn't love. He planned my life from the beginning to the end. He even sent someone to monitor my life all day. I hate him. I hate him. Hate what he did to me as a father. "

"Your Highness, stop talking."

"I told you everything because I didn't want to force you. If...if you really love Lu Rongjue and you have feelings for him, then you tell me now, and I can give up all my plans, for you."

At the end, Lu Yuan's voice was already trembling, Huo Zhi didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, fearing that the shocking emotions would burn his remaining cruelty.

"Tell me, do you love him? Are you willing to stay by his side?" Lu Yuan said hoarsely, "If your answer is 'yes', I will leave your life from now on, never Do not disturb you and Lu Rongjue, are you happy?"

Huo Zhi knew it was wrong, whether it was Lu Yuan's hatred for his father or the so-called 'plan', it was all wrong.But for some reason, it was as if an invisible thug was strangling his throat, preventing him from saying a simple 'yes' no matter what.
