The prince is hard to serve

This day, after nightfall, Concubine Liang has been in a state of uneasiness, she was in a trance, and even knocked over the teacup placed aside.

The pieces of celadon were shattered all over the place, but she still sat there without moving for a long time, and she didn't call the palace servants to let them come in to clean it.

Just at this time, a slight sound suddenly came from the originally silent room.

Hearing the sound, Concubine Liang's eyes moved, she clenched a handkerchief in her hand, and suddenly faced the empty bedroom in front of her, she asked, "Did I do it too impatiently this time? "

"I'm in a hurry."

There shouldn't be anyone responding, but after she finished speaking, there was a deep voice, and then, a man in black clothes came out from the room steadily.

"But it's harmless, I know, you're just being short-tempered."

After speaking, the man went straight to Concubine Liang and sat down, then grabbed Concubine Liang's hand holding the handkerchief, patted it lightly, and lowered his head to kiss Concubine Liang's back lightly.

"My lord..."

Being treated like this, Concubine Liang's cheeks turned red instantly, she fixedly looked at the man in front of her, her watery eyes were full of affection.

Such a man is King Huai, Yan Yurui.

With a gentle smile, Duke Huai said softly to Concubine Liang: "Don't worry, Yan Ran, even if the palace maid is discovered and Yan Wenhao escapes by luck, they won't find out who is behind this incident. The person is you."

"I believe in the prince."

The smile is very sweet, very intoxicated. At this time, the concubine Liang has changed from her usual charming and affectionate appearance. It seems that 20 years have passed, and she has returned to the original time. The girl Huaichun was shy, restless and full of sweetness.

Her every frown and smile were unknowingly tainted with three points of youthfulness and seven points of affection.

Her eyes had been focused on Duke Huai, she was unwilling to turn away, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

Always smiling, Duke Huai held the teacup, lowered his head and slowly sipped it, allowing Concubine Liang to stare at him for a while without the slightest concern.

After drinking a cup of tea, he was quiet for a while, and then Duke Huai moved. He grabbed the hand they were holding just now, and suddenly pulled Concubine Liang into his arms with a strong force.

"what……"

This sudden movement made Concubine Liang let out an exclamation in fright. After she sat firmly in Duke Huai's arms, she felt the big hand around her waist pat her buttocks lightly. His cheeks suddenly became more rosy.

"My lord, you..." She softly and charmingly called Duke Huai, and was about to speak, but Duke Huai was a step ahead of her, reached out to pinch her chin, brought his face closer, and kissed her. red lips.

Over the years, although Duke Huai had never married a concubine, he did not lack wives and concubines, and he often lingered in the flowers. This kiss of his directly made Concubine Liang dizzy.

When the lips of the two parted, Concubine Liang had already collapsed limply in Duke Huai's arms, her eyes were empty.

Cursing his lips, Duke Huai smiled wickedly, raised his hand and touched the tip of Concubine Liang's nose, and said softly: "It's been 20 years, Yan Ran, why can't you learn how to kiss?"

With a flash in her eyes, Concubine Liang raised her hand, lightly hammered Duke Huai's broad chest, and then said coquettishly, "My lord, you are not by my side..."

Hearing this, Duke Huai lifted her chin with a finger, then lowered his head, kissed her red lips again, then leaned close to her ear, and said softly: "Hurry up, it only takes half a day." In a few months, we can be together and we don't have to be apart."

Immediately her eyes lit up, Concubine Liang grabbed his chest and hurriedly asked: "You mean? Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, that's what you think it is."

Nodding his head, Duke Huai did not hide anything, he smiled and continued: "Well, the soldiers, horses, food and grass are all ready, and now the army is waiting outside the capital, and they can attack in one fell swoop just by giving an order. Enter the capital."

Hearing this, Concubine Liang was overjoyed, she thought that Duke Huai was paving the way for Yan Wenzhi, and when all the dust settled, Yan Wenzhi would be able to ascend to the highest position, she immediately said happily: "My lord, you are so kind, I will pass this news on to Zhier, and after Zhier ascends the throne, I will tell him that you are his real biological father and let him serve you as the Supreme Emperor, then we..."

Concubine Liang had been immersed in the beautiful dream she had woven all the time, but Concubine Liang didn't notice at all. As soon as she said the words, Duke Huai, who was holding him in his arms, showed a mocking smile, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

However, when Concubine Liang finished speaking, her expression was full of longing, and she raised her head with bright eyes, his eyes returned to the same gentle and affectionate look as before.

Concubine Liang asked him: "My lord, what do you think of what I just said?"

Duke Huai touched her cheek, nodded perfunctorily, and then changed the subject: "Yan Ran, I need your help when I enter the palace to look for you today..."

Concubine Liang is a particularly important part of his plan. Before this matter is successful, he still needs to coax her a little bit so that she won't notice.

Having loved Duke Huai deeply for 20 years, Concubine Liang has always been responsive to Duke Huai's requests, and she is the same at this time.

After listening to Duke Huai explaining his plan in detail, she just frowned slightly, then nodded in agreement after a while——

However, what Duke Huai asked her to do was precisely the most dangerous thing. Once she was a little careless and made a mistake, it would be a crime of treason with solid evidence, and she would be punished by the nine clans.

After explaining the purpose of entering the palace, the two hugged each other for a while, and after about an incense stick, Duke Huai let go of Concubine Liang, straightened his wrinkled clothes and wide sleeves, and stood up. up.

Pinching Concubine Liang's cheek, Duke Huai whispered: "Okay, I need to go first."

Reluctantly looking at Duke Huai, after pondering for a while, Concubine Liang nodded slowly, and said softly: "You, be careful." After a pause, she blushed again, and added shyly: " I will miss you."

With a soft laugh, Duke Huai pulled Concubine Liang again, kissed her for a while, stroked her body with one hand, and then jumped out of the window, disappearing into the vast night.

Looking out of the window, Concubine Liang couldn't help raising her hand to caress her lips, and then she squinted her eyes, as if she was reminiscing, she secretly smiled for a long time.

Because of Duke Huai's appearance, her mood became very good. Therefore, the uneasiness that had been circling in her heart since nightfall also disappeared.

After tidying up the clothes that had been messed up by Duke Huai just now, Concubine Liang coughed lightly a few times after her agitated emotions calmed down, and then she spoke to call the maids outside the palace and signaled them to prepare the toiletries , she needs to take a bath and change clothes.

The palace lady led the order to retreat.

And at this moment, a little eunuch who was in charge of inquiring news in the High Heaven Pavilion suddenly ran over in a hurry, knelt down in front of Concubine Liang, and said with a pale face, "Something happened, Madam."

Concubine Liang was in the right mood at the moment, she also ignored the impoliteness of the young eunuch, so she just frowned and asked: "What happened to make you so flustered?"

The little eunuch raised his face, glanced at Concubine Liang's face, then swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, when Siruo was poisoning the second prince's soup, Fuquan, the chief steward of the Lingxiao Pavilion, caught him on the spot. Your Majesty , Your Majesty was furious upon hearing this, and is now rushing to Lingxiao Pavilion..."

Her fingers trembled, Concubine Liang's voice suddenly rose, and her expression became very ugly: "What's going on? Why was she caught by Fuquan on the spot?"

The little eunuch shrank his neck, lowered his head, and responded cautiously: "After the accident, His Highness called all the palace servants in the High Heaven Pavilion into the main hall. The slaves are not from the High Heaven Pavilion, so they dare not show their faces, so they can only talk to the guards at the door. I inquired about some specific and specific things, and the slaves don't know..."

The whole person was restless, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed just now rose again, and it became more and more intense. Concubine Liang finally couldn't stand up anymore. Her nurse stopped in her tracks.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

She waved her hand to the little eunuch, signaling him to step back first, the nurse saluted Concubine Liang, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, Lingxiao Pavilion is the residence of the second prince, you are a concubine in the harem, there is no reason, how can you If you come to the door at will, you will be criticized."

After finishing speaking, she paused, and quickly continued to analyze: "Besides, if you rush over now, if Your Majesty asks, how should you answer? You and the second prince have never met, and it is not related to each other. At this time If it appears suddenly, I'm afraid it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion even more, and the loss outweighs the gain."

These words brought back Concubine Liang's reason, she calmed down, then turned around and walked back, returned to the hall, and sat down on the soft bed again.

She almost forgot in a hurry that the court lady's family of 12 people were in Duke Huai's hands, even if she was given a hundred bills, she would not dare to confess herself easily.

Frowning, Concubine Liang turned her head worriedly, and told the wet nurse to send someone to tell Duke Huai to take care of those 12 people. After that, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The uneasiness in her heart still existed, and it didn't decrease in the slightest. Concubine Liang sat silently for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and ordered the palace servants to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and walked to the desk by herself.

Picking up the pen, Concubine Liang deliberated carefully for a while, bowed her head, and wrote a letter to Jiang Xi, signed it, dried it, put the letter in an envelope, summoned a eunuch, and told him : "Go to the north gate, hand over the letter to a guard named Wang Er, and tell him, be sure to hand over this letter to Jiang Xi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment."

This is a letter for help, and she wants to prepare a way out for herself.

Jiang Xi was the only person she could trust completely. Whenever she was in danger, the first thing she thought of was Jiang Xi and not Duke Huai, but she had never been aware of this.

The little eunuch led the order, but not long after he left, Fu Xi personally led a team of guards, and the group arrived outside Liang Concubine's bedroom.

Hearing the report, Concubine Liang was startled and horrified, but on the surface, she still pretended to be calm, raised her hand to stroke her temples, and said with a clever smile, "Mr. Fu, why are you here?"

After bowing his body, Fuxi saluted her politely, then he raised his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the emperor has ordered you to go to the Lingxiao Pavilion to have an audience immediately—"
