kill that paranoid emperor

Chapter 45 Questions

When the court came to court on the fourth day of the lunar new year, the faces of the ministers were all a little weird.

It's been less than half an hour since the usual time to go to court, and the upper throne is still empty, and the seat on the right is also empty.

—— Neither Yue Sheng nor Su Rong came.

The ministers winked at each other, and after a while, seeing that no one was paying attention, they discussed quietly:

"The palace banquet that day...the prime minister and His Majesty..."

"I seem to see the prime minister stepping forward and pressing his majesty's face..."

"Nonsense! It is obvious that His Majesty grabbed the Prime Minister by the collar and dragged him over!"

"You haven't seen the end... His Majesty took the prime minister to the bedroom after the palace banquet..."

When these words came out, there was a complete silence all around.It took a long time for the minister to speak weakly: "But, but the prime minister used to go to His Majesty's bedroom often... why are you so surprised?"

"..."

The ministers had different expressions, as if they had discovered some secret.

At this time, there was a slight movement at the door, and when everyone looked over, they saw a green sedan chair parked just in front of the sill, and after a while, a corner of the vermilion sleeve robe stuck out, and Su Rong opened the curtain and came out.

He has a high temperament, elegant complexion, unhurried steps, the hem of his robe gently brushing the ground, and slowly walks towards the first person on the right.

A little eunuch came running quickly, and carefully placed a mahogany mahogany chair with a hook and cloud pattern on the ground, covered it with a small gold silk cushion and azurite pillows, and when it was finished, Su Rong happened to walk to the chair , turned around and sat down.

"Your Majesty will not be courting today," Su Rong said lazily, propping his forehead with one hand, "If you have something to do, just bring the papers to me."

The ministers looked at each other and said nothing.After all, His Majesty didn't speak, so it's their turn to question Su Rong.

In fact, today is not a big deal, but some chores such as counting and reporting the granary. When the Minister of the Ministry of Households was handing in the paperwork, he accidentally glanced at it and found that Su Rong's left earlobe was slightly red, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. .

"Happy New Year." Su Rong lowered his eyes and said something casually. After a while, he suddenly raised his head again, with a puzzled tone: "Why are you staring at me?"

Hubu Shangshu let out an "uh" and said awkwardly, "It's just strange that there are still mosquitoes biting people in this kind of weather."

Su Rong: "..."

He quickly realized what was going on, followed Hubu Shangshu's gaze, reached out and touched his earlobe lightly.

Su Rong: "."

He frowned, closed the folder in his hand, and said in a low voice: "We'll discuss things tomorrow, put away the rest of the folder and send it to the imperial study, and leave the court."

As soon as Su Rong stepped into the Changding Hall, the door behind him was pushed shut, and someone grabbed his waist.

"Teacher." Yue Cheng's hoarse voice sounded in his ears, low and deep: "You are back."

Hearing Yue Sheng's voice now, Su Rong felt his legs go limp, and his lower back felt a little sore from being pillowed all the way. He raised his hand, pressed it against Yue Sheng's chest, and said with all his strength, "Today's up..."

"It won't be anything." Yue Sheng rubbed against his neck, took a light sniff, "Teacher just wants to go."

Su Rong thought to himself, if he didn't find an excuse to go out, he would have died on Yue Sheng's bed this morning.

Yue Cheng raised his head to look at him, his eyes were dim, and there was a conspicuous red mark on his handsome side face - it was accidentally scratched by someone last night, Su Rong's gaze fell on the blood mark, and he couldn't help saying: "Look Your Majesty will not be able to go to court for a few days."

Yue Sheng: "It's exactly what I want."

He also said: "Teacher doesn't have to go, just stay with Gu in the dormitory."

Su Rong: "...No way!"

Yue Sheng didn't speak immediately, but reached out and pressed Su Rong's lower back, successfully making the person in his arms slide down uncontrollably.Satisfied, Yue Sheng picked up Su Rong, ignored his struggle, and strode towards the bed.

Su Rong felt his eyes darken: "Your Majesty, no, I'm tired...!"

Yue Cheng was puzzled: "Then I'll let you lie down, you don't need to move."

"..." Su Rong gritted his teeth: "Put me down...Your Majesty, Yue Sheng!"

Yue Sheng stopped a few feet away from the bed, and patiently looked down at the person in his arms: "What's wrong?"

Su Rong grabbed his arm, wanting Yue Sheng to let go, but this guy was born with supernatural power, no matter how much he pinched and scratched, he didn't move at all, so Su Rong had no choice but to say: "...I don't feel well, Your Majesty, don't bother me."

Yue Sheng put him on the side of the bed, looked straight into Su Rong's eyes: "What's uncomfortable?"

"..." Su Rong hurriedly made up an excuse: "Palpitations."

Yue Sheng's movements paused, and he frowned: "Palpitations again?"

He was silent for a while, the drooping eyelashes blocked the look in his eyes, and he said after a while: "I'll ask the imperial doctor to show you."

Su Rong noticed that Yue Sheng was obviously agitated, and was startled, before realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

"I was just joking," Su Rong hooked Yue Sheng's fingers, comforting him softly, "Don't worry."

But Yue Sheng suddenly withdrew his hand back, with a gloomy expression and a bad tone: "I don't believe you."

"If you go back again, where can I find you?" he asked.

Su Rong didn't expect him to be entangled in this question, so he was a little surprised.

Yue Sheng stood in front of the bed, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice: "Teacher, I'm so glad... to be able to come back with you that day."

"Otherwise, I'll go crazy."

He didn't dare to think about it, if he opened his eyes that night, what he saw would not be the scene of singing and dancing in the main hall, nor the appearance of Su Rong walking into the hall door... but three years later, he would never wake up beside the couch man, but an empty shell without the soul within—then he must go mad.

The thought of almost losing Su Rong for the second time, Yue Sheng couldn't bear it even for a moment, and even though he shouldn't have a headache now, he still vaguely felt the sting of needles.

"Yue Sheng!"

Su Rong suddenly raised his voice, pulled the man over, and said angrily and helplessly, "I'm right here, don't think too much about it. I won't say that kind of thing again next time."

Only then did Yue Sheng regain his composure, but his tone was still low: "If the Grand Tutor abandons me again..."

"No." At this moment, Su Rong had a deep understanding of what it means to be self-inflicted, and tried to ease the haze in his heart: "Your Majesty, that might just be a dream."

"Dream?" Yue Sheng obviously didn't believe it: "Then why did I have the same dream as yours?"

"Why was there indeed poisonous wine in the hall a few days ago, why did Chu Jing break out of the encirclement at night and disappear without a trace, why did there be Xiao Tangzi among the palace people in Changding Hall?"

Su Rong: "..."

Yue Sheng's voice was hoarse: "Teacher, I killed you once."

After a pause, he said, "Maybe there will be a second time."

Su Rong didn't know where this brat's paranoia came from, so he stopped Yue Sheng from blaming himself endlessly: "There is no second time."

"Fang Xuelan suffers from heart disease," Su Rong said, "Emperor Lu told me. It's not your fault."

Yue Cheng raised his eyes suddenly, and looked straight at him: "You once said that Lu Taiyi couldn't see the truth."

Su Rong pursed his lips, looked away unnaturally, and hesitated a bit: "...Actually, I only found out later, and I didn't intend to hide it from you. The imperial physician once said that there is no serious problem, logically speaking, it should be..."

Yue Sheng suddenly turned around, clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist: "Teacher, you lied to me again."

Su Rong: "I didn't..."

Yue Sheng interrupted him: "Don't say any more."

Su Rong froze for a moment, then looked at him blankly.

Yue Sheng's expression was ugly, he seemed to be very angry, but he couldn't bear to attack the person in front of him, so he said coldly, "Teacher, I'm so lonely."

Su Rong opened his mouth, and was about to admit his mistake, when he saw Yue Cheng toss his robe sleeves, and left angrily without looking back.

"..."

Su Rong stayed there for a long time, only to realize that Yue Sheng was very rare, and left himself behind.

...don't let him finish his sentence.

Su Rong felt a little wronged. He sat on the edge of the bed and muttered to himself: "But there is obviously no problem..."

Physician Lu did tell him that Fang Xuelan's body was weaker than ordinary people, and he seemed to have some congenital heart disease, but it didn't have much impact. As long as he took the medicine on time, he could at least be alive and kicking for a long time.

Su Rong thought about some signs before he wore it back, and it didn't seem like a symptom of a heart attack.

how come?Could it be... Doctor Lu made a wrong diagnosis?

Yue Sheng slammed the door of the palace, with such force that the fine dust on the roof flew out in all directions, and the palace people dared not move like quails, for fear of being discovered by the angry tyrant.

Ji Fu came over in a hurry, and sneaked a look at Yue Sheng's expression, but was surprised to find that the emperor didn't have any angry expression on his face, but seemed... a little depressed.

Yue Sheng sullenly said, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Fu lowered his head, terrified: "I dare not."

The sun was just right outside, Yue Sheng contemplated for a while facing the pure white snow under the steps, and suddenly said: "Go and move out Gu's quilt."

Ji Fu: "Huh?"

Yue Sheng said coldly: "The prime minister offended Gu, and Gu doesn't want to see him again during this time."

"Also," he stood in the porch with his hands behind his back, expressionless, "let every servant in the palace tell Prime Minister Su that Gu is very angry."

Ji Fu: "...Yes, Your Majesty."

When Yue Sheng left Changding Hall, he glanced in the direction of the hall door, and sure enough, he saw Su Rong open the door, walk out in a hurry, said something to the little eunuch in the corridor, and then looked at him from a distance.

Yue Sheng don't start, don't look at Su Rong.

His grand tutor turned out to be a liar who loves to lie, if this topic hadn't happened to be mentioned today, Yue Cheng would not have known that the reason why Su Rong was able to wear it back was because of a heart attack three years later.

He thought...

He thought it was God who favored him, allowing him to go back to three years ago and make up for all the mistakes that he hadn't had time to recover.

But what if this wasn't some so-called blessing, but Su Rong once again paid the price of death to give himself the chance to be reborn three years ago?

The palace road was very quiet, the snow-sweeping palace servants bowed their heads in salute, Yue Sheng's gaze fell aimlessly in front of him, feeling uncomfortable as if his heart was blocked.

Su Rong wanted to lie to him, but Yue Sheng was unwilling to do so. He was no longer a child, and Su Rong didn't need to bear everything alone.

He doesn't want Su Rong to lie to him.

As the sun went down, the lights of the Changding Hall were turned on one by one. Su Rong read the book for a while, rubbed his brows, and asked the little maid next to him, "Where is Your Majesty?"

The little maid froze for a moment, then stammered: "Your Majesty... is very angry."

Su Rong: "?"

The little maid: "Your Majesty does not want to see you."

Su Rong asked subconsciously, "Why?"

"I don't know." The little maid finished speaking, thought for a while, and added: "But His Majesty is very angry. You see, His Majesty's bedding has been removed."

Su Rong: "..."

If she hadn't reminded her, Su Rong wouldn't have paid attention to these details at all.

Yue Sheng wanted to fight coldly, Su Rong reviewed himself, remembered the dispute between the two in the morning, and decided to coax this awkward brat.

At this time, Yue Sheng should be in the imperial study, but Su Rong rushed over, but was stopped by the guards outside.

"Your Majesty is not here," said the guard, "Prime Minister, please go back."

Su Rong: "Where is Your Majesty?"

"I don't know." The guard had no expression on his face, and dutifully repeated Yue Sheng's words: "If the prime minister wants to find His Majesty, it's better to do it as soon as possible... Cough, give up on it."

"..." Su Rong looked the guard up and down, and said, "Your name is Suifeng, right?"

Yue Sheng promoted some young guards a few years ago, and Su Rong would naturally not notice these people.But three years later, Suifeng is an important confidant of Yuesheng, so Su Rong is quite familiar with him.

Suifeng didn't expect Su Rong to be able to call out his name, and became nervous, his face flushed red: "Yes!"

Su Rong glanced at him: "You really don't know where His Majesty is?"

Sui Feng was not good at lying, so he said in a panic, "I don't know... Anyway, His Majesty is not inside."

"That's it..." Su Rong dragged his tone, deliberately lowered his face, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "But the truth is sorted out and His Majesty has something important to discuss, which is related to Xixia, so there is no time to waste."

"..." Suifeng lingered in his mind about Yuecheng's order before he left, "Don't pay attention to the prime minister", he struggled for a long time, and then carefully looked at Su Rong's expression.

Su Rong stood and let him scrutinize him, frowning lightly, holding the jade fracture fan that he took from the palace in one hand, and impatiently knocked on his palm with the fan in the first month of snowflakes.

Sui Feng hesitated and said: "Your Majesty...should have gone to the Library Pavilion."

Su Rong snorted softly, put away the folding fan, and smiled at the corner of his lips: "Thank you."

Suifeng: "..."

How do you feel cheated?

The Library Pavilion is as high as several floors. Su Rong doesn't know what Yue Sheng is doing here. In his impression, Yue Sheng hates this kind of place full of ancient books, and he never likes to read books.

Except when Su Rong forced Yue Sheng to read scriptures and history books, he had never seen this little brat come to Zangshu Pavilion on his own initiative.

Su Rong caught someone on the third floor of Zangshu Pavilion, and Yue Sheng was sitting upright by the wooden window in the corner, holding a book of criminal laws of the Great Yin and looking at it indifferently.

"Gu let them stop you," Yue Cheng said coldly without looking up, "It really is a bunch of trash."

Su Rong tore off the tie of the cloak while walking, and after hearing Yue Sheng's words, he couldn't help being angry and funny: "If you really want someone to stop me, you shouldn't let Sui Feng stop me."

Yue Sheng's voice was deep and angry: "Go back alone and punish him."

Su Rong walked up to him, slapped his icy hands on His Majesty's face.

Yue Sheng: "..."

"Hands are so cold." Su Rong said in an extremely pitiful tone, "I found you after walking in the snow for half an hour."

Yue Sheng said stiffly, "Go and warm yourself by the fire."

Su Rong blinked: "But the body is also cold."

Yue Sheng: "...you put on the cloak."

Su Rong simply sat down on Yue Sheng's lap, making eye contact with him.

Yue Sheng couldn't help looking at the person in front of him. The candlelight in the Library Pavilion was much dimmer, and the light of the fire reflected on Su Rong's face, making him look like a beautiful woman in a painting with exquisite skills. Gentle, with his own shadow in his eyes.

Being watched so intently by Su Rong, Ren Yuecheng couldn't take it anymore, he turned his head unnaturally: "Go down."

Su Rong asked: "Your Majesty is still angry?"

Yue Sheng: "."

Su Rong pinched his face: "Because I lied to you?"

Yue Cheng pursed his lips tightly, unwilling to answer him.

Su Rong sighed: "If I insist on not admitting my mistake, what will His Majesty plan to do with me?"

"?" Yue Cheng's face darkened, "Gu..."

Su Rong: "Huh?"

Yue Sheng: "Gu will cut off your position as prime minister and take back your mansion in the capital."

Su Rong opened his eyes wide: "Isn't that minister living on the street?"

Yue Sheng's tone was serious: "As long as you are willing to admit your mistake and promise not to deceive Gu again in the future, there will be no such consequences."

"So simple?" Su Rong said, "Then I was wrong."

Yue Sheng: "..."

Su Rong was a little funny: "Your Majesty left in a hurry today and didn't finish listening to me."

He stretched his arms around Yue Sheng's neck, slowly moved into Yue Sheng's arms with the laziness that Prime Minister Su would never show on weekdays, took advantage of the situation, and kissed Yue Sheng's cheeks, and said affectionately: "I won't do it again from now on." , I must tell you everything honestly, okay?"

"..." Yue Sheng: "No, act like a spoiled child."

Su Rong knew that his mouth was tough and his heart was soft, so he said softly to himself: "Your Majesty may not know how I got there three years later."

Yue Sheng fell silent.

The New Year's Eve when Su Rong died was a bloody scar to Yue Sheng, so he never took the initiative to bring up related topics, but he basically had a guess in his heart.

"When I opened my eyes, I was already Fang Xuelan." Su Rong said, "At that time, Fang Xuelan hadn't eaten for several days, and starved herself to death."

Yue Sheng commented: "A strange man."

Su Rong considered it for a while, and continued: "That body has many minor problems, but the imperial doctor said that as long as it is well adjusted, there will be no problems."

"Look, when I passed through, didn't it take a long time for me to pass through as if nothing happened? So, I didn't intend to hide the heart disease from you. I just wanted to talk to you in detail after I recuperated, so that I wouldn't worry too much."

In fact, the reason why he didn't say anything was because Su Rong knew the character of this brat, and he was afraid that he would do something absurd to save one person with all his strength after he knew about it. Even Su Rong didn't dare to decide whether he could hold him firmly on the dragon chair.

After hearing what he said, Yue Sheng retorted: "You are not in good health, don't try to fool me."

Su Rong frowned: "It was good at first."

Yue Sheng: "Not good."

Su Rong suddenly realized something was wrong.

Even if Fang Xuelan's health had always been poor, it would not inexplicably worsen later on. Even after a joint consultation with many imperial physicians, she could directly squeeze Su Rong back to the present because of a heart attack.

Yue Sheng also seemed to have noticed something strange, frowned and said, "You really didn't lie to me?"

Su Rong shook his head.

The Library Pavilion was very quiet, and from time to time there was the faint sound of candles exploding. Su Rong thought about it quietly for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Three years later, Your Majesty... where did you put 'I'?"
