Before formally meeting Di Yue's envoys, Qiu Muheng first summoned Bao Longtu to meet him in the upper study.

Bao Longtu naturally did not dare to resist the order, but with yesterday's experience, he was actually reluctant to see the emperor.

He stayed up all night, but he still didn't figure out what to do in the future, how to face the emperor.

The chief eunuch took Bao Longtu to the upper study room and withdrew.He knew that the emperor didn't like others listening when he was talking with Mr. Bao, so he closed the door by the way.

Qiu Muheng was concentrating on reviewing the memorial, without raising his head, he just said: "Come here."

Bao Longtu lowered his head and approached, but he didn't stand beside Qiu Muheng as before, but kept the proper distance between the emperor and his subjects, bowed his body in front of the table, stared at the upper of his shoe, and never looked at the emperor. glance.

Qiu Muheng waited for a while, but he didn't see anyone beside him, so he looked up at him, seeing his appearance, a bitter smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

He put down the vermilion pen, did not get up to meet him, just sat on the dragon chair, looked at him, and said slowly: "Li Yanzhao proposed to me to marry Princess Dayueshi as queen."

Bao Longtu's heart trembled suddenly, and his standard standing posture of bowing his head and obeying orders was also slightly shaken.

"And I promised."

The emperor said that he was called here because he wanted to be the first to know.

The emperor said that he would bring it up at the banquet when he had formal peace talks with Di Yue's envoys.I heard that Crown Prince Di Yue and the First Prince of the Da Yue Clan are good friends, so I want to ask Prince Di Yue to be a matchmaker so that the Da Yue Clan can agree to this marriage.

The emperor said, although you will know about this when you attend the banquet, I always feel that it is better to tell you now.

Bao Longtu kept his head down, listening quietly.

The head hangs very low.

——"I will call you into the palace from time to time in the future, you should be mentally prepared."

Because the emperor said such a thing yesterday, when the emperor called him into the palace this morning, he was always very disturbed.

If the emperor asked him to sleep with him... Would he, would he resist the order?

However, the emperor didn't mean anything in this regard, he should have breathed a sigh of relief.

- Should have breathed a sigh of relief!

But why is my mood now heavier than when I came here?

It was as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.

Bao Longtu almost couldn't even stand firmly.

He could feel the emperor's gaze staring at his head.

He had to say something.

The emperor is the king of a country, and it is only natural to establish an heir and extend an heir.

Marrying the princess of the Da Yue Clan, a powerful country in the Western Regions, will not only bring good neighborliness and security to the country, gain the trust and alliance of the Da Yue Clan, but also increase the power of the emperor, so that the three pillars of the country will gradually move closer to the trend of centralized imperial power.

This is a good thing.

Whether as a subject or as a childhood playmate, Bao Longtu should congratulate the emperor here.

Bao Longtu's lips squirmed, and it took a lot of trouble to finally open them: "No—"

--don't want!

He heard a voice crying from the bottom of his heart.

--don't want!

Bao Longtu was stunned suddenly.

And the word "untucked" was not clearly conveyed to Qiu Muheng's ears.

Because the moment Bao Longtu spoke, the chief eunuch outside the door raised his voice: "Report to the Emperor, the time has come."

Qiu Muheng got up from the dragon chair, and when he walked past Bao Longtu, he said softly, "Let's go, attend the banquet with me."

When Qiu Muheng announced at the banquet that he wanted to marry the Dayue clan, all the ministers looked at Li Yanzhao and Zhang Boyong in surprise.

Almost everyone believed that the candidate for the queen would definitely be born from the Li and Zhang families.

Li Yanzhao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Zhang Boyong also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The minister also seconded the proposal."

Seeing that the two prime ministers had no objection, the ministers naturally had no objection.Originally their daughter was not worthy of the queen's throne.

So the voices of "Congratulations, Your Majesty" and "Your Majesty's Holy Spirit" can be heard endlessly, only Bao Longtu never said a word.

Back in Shuntian Mansion, Bao Longtu didn't go to court to deal with official business, but locked himself in the room again, letting the drums beat outside for the first time and ignoring him.

Wang Chao and Ma Han stood outside the door, looking at each other.

After a while the drum beat stopped, Ma Han grabbed a yamen servant and asked loudly on purpose, making it clear that he wanted Master Bao inside to hear him.

The yamen servant said: "The one who came to beat the drum was an old man. The cow at home gave birth to a calf. The cow disappeared a few days after giving birth to a calf. I suspected that someone had stolen the cow, so I came to report the case."

Wang Chao said: "The report asks us to help him find a cow? Can a calf be branded?"

The yamen servant said: "No! That's why the old man was worried, so he beat the drum to complain."

Wang Chao scratched his face and sighed: "Without a mark, you are looking for a needle in a haystack. How do you find it?"

After finishing speaking, he looked towards the door, and for the current plan, he could only seek Master Bao's wisdom.

Sure enough, the door opened, Bao Longtu's eyes were sunken, his condition was not good, his face looked darker than usual, he really looked like a lump of charcoal, which shocked all three of them.

The yamen servant said: "My lord, don't worry, Mo Butou has already gone to deal with it. My lord is not feeling well, but you want me to invite a doctor?"

Judging by his face, it looks like he is about to die.

"Go and call Wei Lan."

Chao Chao hurriedly ran to the stables, stopped Wei Lan who was about to go with Mo Liang, panted and said, "Brother Wei, Mr. Bao is not in good condition, you should go and treat him!"

When Mo Liang and Wei Lan heard this, they were all taken aback.

When Wei Lan hurried to Bao Longtu's room to have a look, she realized that she was suffering from heart disease.

Wang Chao was also very concerned about Mr. Bao, and followed Wei Lan. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wei Lan entered, Mr. Bao slammed the door shut, forcing him to be stuck outside.

Wang Chao covered his sore nose with a sad face.

"sit."

Bao Longtu gesticulated for Wei Lan to sit down, and sat down next to him himself, picked up the teacup, and blew and blew the already cold tea, the tea stems were blown up and down by him.

The other party didn't speak, and Wei Lan didn't say anything, just watched him play with tea stems.

After a long, long time, Bao Longtu put down the teacup, sighed sadly, and said apologetically, "Wei Lan, I came here because I wanted to chat with you... It's not business. Except you, I don't know what to say. I really don’t know who to talk to.”

Facing Bao Longtu who spoke sincerely, Wei Lan shrank her shoulders with a smile, and said softly with a face that a listener should have: "This is my honor."

"You... how do you think of you and Mo Liang?"

Understanding that the other party wanted to ask "how do you understand the relationship between the two of you", Wei Lan met Bao Longtu with calm eyes, and said bluntly:

"I love him. Although we are both men, I love him so much that I can't accept anyone but him. As long as he stays with me, I have nothing to fear."

Bao Longtu looked away.

Bao Longtu didn't dare to look directly at that straightforward gaze.

"Master Bao asked this question...but because of the emperor?"

Wei Lan did not miss the flash of panic and astonishment on Bao Longtu's face.

He smiled softly, with a gentle tone like a mentor teaching a beloved student.

"Yesterday I met the emperor, and I know that the emperor has visited your lord's room. Since the emperor left, there has been something wrong with your lord....Although I don't know what happened between you and the emperor, but I think you are now It looks like it's because of the emperor."

The calm tone and the attitude full of willingness to listen to troubles made it impossible for Bao Longtu to continue to put on his usual solemn and majestic expression in front of him.

"Do you like the emperor?"

"...!"

Bao Longtu was taken aback by the overly straightforward question.

Wei Lan smiled, "It's all written on my face."

...Is it so obvious...?

However, Wei Lan is someone who has experienced it, and his insight has always been keen, and he just asked that question just now, so it is impossible to hide it from him.

Since he took the initiative to find someone to interview, he had to show the corresponding sincerity.

Bao Longtu said slowly, "The emperor...is about to get married, but I can't even say a word of congratulations..."

wedding? ... This is a surprise.If it is set according to the previous plot of beating my sister, such a situation will definitely not happen.

Could it be that because the novel is currently unowned, the plot went berserk on its own?

This is a danmei essay.Regardless of whether Sister Chui is present or not, it is not allowed for two male protagonists to marry a female wife.

Fortunately, Bao Longtu came to talk to him.He had to work hard to bend him, bend him, bend him again!

"If Liangzi wants to marry another woman, I will definitely kidnap Liangzi at their wedding."

Watching Bao Longtu's stunned expression, Wei Lan said in a natural tone: "I can't stand Liangzi being with others."

Bao Longtu smiled wryly, and said: "The emperor is different from Mo Liang, he... will never belong to just one person."

Wei Lan said with a smile: "Master Bao has never tried it, so how do you know that the emperor will not belong to you alone? Like Lord Longyang in the Warring States period, he fascinated King Wei An to death, not even the beauties in the world It won't catch his eye."

Bao Longtu's expression became very complicated, and he said in a deep voice, "Wei Lan, what you said is disrespectful to the emperor."

Wei Lan shrugged and smiled slightly: "The topic we are talking about now is disrespectful to the emperor, right?"

Moreover, it was Bao Longtu who made the first move. He really had no way to refute it, and it was impossible for him to punish Wei Lan.

"Lord Bao, in fact, my subordinates also had many scruples in their hearts before expressing their feelings to Mo Liang. But when I thought that one day he would be snatched away by others, my scruples disappeared suddenly. Whether Liangzi accepts me On the other hand, if I don't even try to take this step, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in regret."

Wei Lan smiled, her smile was as bright as the summer sun.

"After all, he was the first and only person I fell in love with."

"..."

Bao Longtu chewed on this sentence repeatedly, recalling the expression on the emperor's face when he told him yesterday that he was serious.

The emperor should be the same, he doesn't want to make himself regret it.

What about yourself?

Keeping the righteousness of being loyal to the emperor, is it the way to be a minister by turning a deaf ear to the emperor's wishes and avoiding hiding places?

What was the emperor's mood when he was the first to tell himself the news of the marriage this morning?

In other words, what kind of answer is he expecting from himself?

He doesn't understand.

But at least after chatting with Wei Lan, he already had some clarity in his heart.

He stood up suddenly, said "I understand", and walked out the door.
