The Ugly Empress

When Teng Shang walked out of the teahouse, he saw Xue Houyang not far away holding a horse and standing aside.

Xue Houyang also saw him, came up to meet him, and said: "Go back, let's go again."

Xue Houyang deliberately waited for Teng Shang to go with him, explaining that he already knew that the other party and Xue Yu went in for tea, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't have any special reaction.

Teng Shang said: "If Lord Hou doesn't dislike it, come and walk with me."

The two walked through the market and walked down the small river next to it. The sky was cloudy and it was about to snow, and the river was covered with a thin layer of ice, but it was not thick.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Teng Shang smiled and said, "Master Hou treated Teng a lot, is it because Teng saved Master Hou once? Then the last time it's over."

Xue Houyang opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Teng Shang said: "I am also a heart made of meat. Master Hou treats me like this, and there is really nothing in return. There are some things that cannot be said, and there are only so many people who can mention you..."

As he spoke, he paused, stopped, turned to face the river, and said softly, "Master Hou, be careful of Xue Yu."

"What did he tell you?"

Xue Houyang took a step forward, subconsciously trying to grab his arm, but he stopped.

Teng Shang smiled and said: "Xue Yu is not simple, but after all, he is still young and can't figure it out... I have one more thing to remind you, but I am afraid that Master Hou may find it unpleasant."

Xue Houyang said: "Say it."

"Although Lord Hou is an iron hat, a king is like a tiger. If I am not mistaken, the Holy Majesty is about to seize Xue Yu's military power, dismantle the troops, and recruit the main force. This is King Xue's signal...After Xue Yu, I'm afraid it won't be long before it's Lord Hou."

Seeing Xue Houyang's complexion, Teng Shang said: "I know you don't like to hear these things. Master Hou will let it go after hearing it. This time, Teng did not intend to provoke anyone, it was completely from the bottom of his heart."

Xue Houyang pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "I know... Maybe in the eyes of others, Shang Xiang is good at maneuvering, but Houyang will never forget Shang's life-saving grace over the years."

Teng Shang glanced at him, smiled suddenly, and said, "Master Hou, are you really doing it for the life-saving grace? That has already been reported."

Seeing his smile, Xue Houyang was obsessed for a moment, and then his face became hot again, coughing, "Last time... what happened last time was Houyang's fault, and Houyang is determined not to think anything wrong again."

Xue Houyang is a fighter, but he is very straightforward emotionally, and naturally he is not as thick-skinned as Xue Junliang who often wanders in the harem, so Teng Shang can't help teasing.

Teng Shang didn't intend to get to the bottom of it either, and said, "Let's go, it's too cold outside."

-

Teng Yun was hugged by Qiushui's legs, Qiushui cried miserably, and said: "The empress, it's all Qiushui's fault, Qiushui helped Concubine Teng harm you when you shouldn't be threatened... slave, slave died ten thousand times Not enough!"

Teng Qianyi was stunned at this moment, stood up abruptly, trembling all over and said:

"What are you talking about, you bastard!"

Xue Junliang glanced at Teng Qianyi, and said in a flat tone, "Presumptuous."

Jiang Yu said sharply, "Come here." The guards came in and pressed Teng Qianyi to the ground.

Qiushui was not afraid of Teng Qianyi at all, and cried: "Your Majesty saved the servant, and the servant was forced to do so. Several people have been killed by Concubine Teng. If the servant had not followed Concubine Teng for many years, he would have been decapitated at this time. You have to be accused of stealing... I can't apologize if I die, but I want to die innocent!"

Teng Yun looked down at Qiushui, and then at Teng Qianyi. His hands seemed to tremble a little. Although Teng Qianyi didn't know who the empress was, Teng Qianyi was his blood relative after all. , he absolutely cannot believe that Teng Qianyi wants to harm himself.

In fact, in the harem, it is common for a concubine to do some tricks if she wants to take the position. If she succeeds, she will be favored infinitely, but if she fails, she will be left out in the cold and even moved to the cold palace. But Teng Qianyi is different.

Even in Teng Yun's heart, he and Teng Qianyi are not very close, but they are blood relatives after all. In this unaccompanied country of Xue, Teng Yun feels that his faith has almost collapsed, and the matter of Teng Qianyi is just a gap For many years, the grievances and unwillingness of being cheated by brothers and being suspected and jealous by the emperor seem to be squeezed out of this gap.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, these relatives did not treat themselves as well as Xue Junliang...

Teng Yun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After he took a deep breath, his heart beat a little. Teng Qianyi's behavior would definitely be charged with serious crimes, and she represented not only a concubine, but also Teng Guo. With Xue Junliang's scheming character, he will definitely seize this opportunity to pursue Teng Guo fiercely.

Xue Junliang originally thought that Teng Yun would be happy, and even if he was not happy, he would look as calm as usual, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of Teng Yun's pale face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

For a while, everyone was speechless, only the sound of Qiushui choking, Jiang Yu's forehead was gradually sweating, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he mustered up his courage and said: "Your Majesty, the time is approaching, why don't you... start your journey first?"

Xue Junliang nodded, and said: "Jiang Yu's words are reasonable, Teng Qianyi is temporarily grounded, and he will be released when Gu comes back. As for Qiushui... You can count your merits and demerits as equals, and Gu can't think of who to put you by his side for a while. , just follow Gu.”

Qiu Shui immediately opened his eyes wide and held his breath. He pretended to be desolate and shed a few tears, and kowtowed his head to thank him.

The itinerary cannot be delayed, Zhenjiang Marquis Xue Yu has already entered the palace, and is waiting for King Xue and Queen to get ready to set off together.

Xiuyao supported Teng Yun and said: "Madam, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Teng Yun shook his head, but Xue Junliang heard it. Just as he got on the carriage, the palace guards closed the curtains. Before Xue Junliang got in, he turned around and said, "The empress is here to sit in the same carriage as Gu."

This is also expected by everyone. After the Gu doll incident, no one doubts the Queen's favor. His Majesty has reached the point of believing it. Maybe even if the Queen does something wrong, His Majesty will turn a blind eye. One eye.

Teng Yun had a lot of thoughts along the way, he failed to escape, the harem was heavily guarded, it was impossible to sneak out, and now, Xue Junliang would definitely use this opportunity to attack Teng Guo, Teng Yun was in a mess, only one thought, But the idea is too silly and not necessarily feasible.

That's assassination...

Maybe other people can't, but Teng Yun might be able to, because Xue Junliang has relaxed a lot of vigilance in order to express his favor for the queen. Even if the concubine can't bring a weapon to bed, gold and silver jewelry are still acceptable. Teng Yun is the son of Lianjia. Of course he knows how to kill a man with a small thing.

It's just that Xue Junliang's caution made Teng Yun feel that his method was too stupid.

It has been a long time since Teng Yun became Xue Junliang's queen, and he gradually couldn't sit still. This is a sealed cage, which made him almost go crazy.

The carriage and horses shook, and he slowly recalled many things. In his previous life, Xue Junliang personally killed himself. Their enmity is not only this life, but also the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Teng Kingdom.

Teng Yun thought, his breathing became a little disordered, these are his debts with Xue Junliang, there is nothing wrong with you killing me and killing you on the battlefield, no one owes anyone, but the blood debt is still between the two of them.

Xue Junliang hugged Teng Yun's waist, "Why are you so focused on thinking?"

Xue Junliang exhaled vaguely by his ear, Teng Yun was startled and tried his best to appear calm.

Xue Junliang used the excuse of Teng Qianyi to send troops to the Teng country. This is imperative. If Teng Yun assassinates, it must be a good opportunity right now. They will stay out for the night after worshiping their ancestors, and return to the Forbidden Palace tomorrow morning. There are sufficient troops and strict security, and only tonight can act.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Xue Junliang smiled and pinched his earlobe ambiguously, and said, "Could it be that my concubine is jealous?"

Teng Yun couldn't help trembling when he was touched by an old hand like Xue Junliang who was walking among the flowers. He was extremely disgusted at first, but when he thought of the assassination, he had to be more obedient and let Xue Junliang let go of his guard. of.

Xue Junliang felt that the body of the person he was holding was a little weak, and the other person did not break away, so he was inevitably a little proud, "What? You are so good today, is it really delicious? Blame me for taking Qiushui."

Teng Yun could feel the wet breath, and Xue Junliang's lips were still rubbing against his ears vaguely.

Teng Yun didn't speak, he tried his best to pretend to be obedient, Xue Junliang looked at his slightly red ears, suddenly felt a little hot, stretched out his hand and led him to the big chair.

The seat in the frame is very soft, covering the entire side. Although two people cannot lie down side by side, it is more than enough for one person.

Xue Junliang pushed the man down on the big chair, stretched out his hand to gently caress Teng Yun's cheek, and slid his chin all the way to Teng Yun's neck.

Teng Yun wanted to hide, but in the end he just pursed his lips.

Xue Junliang felt the man's throat slightly slipping due to tension, and this slight trembling made his heart a little itchy.

Xue Junliang lowered his head and quickly and gently kissed the corner of the other's mouth. Teng Yun suddenly opened his eyes and looked at himself, but did not move.

"It's so good today, it's rare for you to change your temper. Why, I took Qiushui and felt that there was a crisis?"

Teng Yun didn't speak, just looked at each other,

Xue Junliang laughed, "Are you willing now?"

As he said, he lowered his head and kissed him again. Teng Yun tightly closed his eyes, and at first he pursed his lips. Xue Junliang just touched the kiss gently. Jaws.

Xue Junliang felt his softening, and immediately deepened the kiss, which was still gentle and considerate, as if he really wanted to impress the other party. If this is really the leader of Fengguo, maybe he will be kissed by this amorous king. Impressed.

Teng Yun has never kissed anyone deeply, so he is not as good at this as Xue Junliang. He was teased by Xue Junliang in a panic, from disgust at the beginning to then his mind was empty, he couldn't think of anything at all, and his hands unconsciously grasped Xue Junliang's sleeve.

Teng Yun's body was numb, and the hand holding Xue Junliang became weak. Suddenly, his waist felt cold, and the man's hand came in from the hem of his clothes, and walked lightly or heavily along his waist. .

Teng Yun panicked suddenly, and a hum escaped from his lips.

Only then did Xue Junliang stand up, and gently wiped the silver thread left by Teng Yun because he had no time to swallow it with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Aifei's taste is really good... It's a pity that it's in the car. If I want you, you It’s definitely not going to be comfortable.”

Teng Yun's face was already red enough to bleed, his chest heaved rapidly, and he stared at Xue Junliang with complicated eyes.

Xue Junliang covered his eyes with his hands, and said with a smile, "If you look at me like that, I won't show mercy... just sleep for a while, you'll be tired in the morning too."

As he spoke, he bowed his head and kissed Teng Yun's temples, and helped Teng Yun tidy up his clothes.

Teng Yun turned sideways, facing inward, and tightly clenched his hands.

How could Teng Yun sleep on the way, his mind was confused.

When they arrived at the place, Xiuyao helped Teng Yun get off the car, and while no one was paying attention, she giggled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too loud."

"what?"

Teng Yun was a little confused, so Xiuyao blushed and said with a smile: "That's it, you and His Majesty are in love... The voice is too loud, the slaves and servants who followed outside the car heard it, so there is only one sound."

When Teng Yun was told by him, his face turned red first and then turned pale. Xiuyao didn't dare to make fun of him anymore, remembering in her heart that the empress is thin-skinned and can't make such jokes.

Although Teng Yun didn't talk to Xue Junliang all the way, Xue Junliang could feel that the other party's attitude had softened a lot compared to before. It is inevitable for a king to be conceited. He felt that because of what happened in the morning, the queen also recognized her situation. After all, who doesn't want to monopolize favors? My dear, this is a great honor.

After getting out of the car, a group of officials knelt down to greet him. The officials guarding the mausoleum, big and small, knelt on both sides according to their official positions.

Xue Junliang said very easy-goingly: "Xue Yu, come up from the lonely side."

Xue Yu lowered his head, and when he heard Xue Junliang's words, he thanked Xue Junliang, and walked over respectfully, a little behind Xue Junliang.

He is a smart person, how could he really walk to the place where Xue Junliang is shoulder to shoulder, Xue Junliang said this just to make people think that he is an approachable king, just putting on airs.

As they walked in, it was gradually snowing. Although the snow wasn't falling heavily, Jiang Yu immediately asked Xue Junliang to put on a coat.

Xue Junliang said: "It's cold, take a piece for the Marquis of Zhenjiang."

Xue Yu thanked him, and Xue Junliang said again: "Has it snowed in the north?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's snowing, it has snowed for a few days before my brother entered Beijing."

Xue Junliang said vaguely: "It's snowing, the roads are hard to pass, and the food and money can't move. Is your food and money supply enough?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the delivery of food and payment has always been timely."

"That's good, you are Gu's younger brother. Although Gu is in the capital, he misses you all the time. How can he bear to let you and your soldiers go hungry. Gu also knows that you are a person who doesn't ask for anything, but If you have any difficulties, you must tell Gu, even if you are too busy, you can also talk to Hou Yang, after all, among the clan brothers, I will be alone with you."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Xue Houyang, "Really."

Xue Houyang was called out suddenly, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Yes, what Your Majesty said is very true."

When Xue Junliang heard Xue Houyang's answer, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and then he said to Xue Yu: "Look, this is your fault."

Xue Yu didn't understand why he suddenly changed his face, so he heard Xue Junliang continue: "You are Gu's younger brother, and you are also the Marquis of Zhenjiang. You are in the frontier and hold great power, even if you say you are out of reach..."

When he said this, Xue Yu immediately knelt down and said: "I don't dare, I can learn from my sincerity!"

Xue Junliang seemed surprised and said: "Oh? Why did you kneel down? Gu didn't mean to blame you. What Gu said, 'let's say', isn't true, it's just a hypothesis. Get up and get up quickly."

Xue Yu thanked him, although he had complaints in his heart, knowing that King Xue was going to make trouble, but he couldn't say anything.

Xue Junliang said slowly again: "You, you are so out of touch. What did Gu just say?"

He looked around at everyone, but no one dared to speak. He couldn't figure out what King Xue's attitude was. Teng Yun laughed inwardly, and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, it's too late."

"Oh……"

Xue Junliang nodded, "You are a marquis after all, when the civil and military officials of the court

Those who are more powerful than you are the magistrates who go to the streets and have the ostentation of the magistrates. You, a marquis, came to the capital from a long distance, and you accompanied 1000 people, which is too shameful. "

He sneered, "Could it be that you're afraid that your soldiers will be detained alone, so that's your right?"
