usurped

That's enough" the old man raised his hand, "The thing I hate the most in my life is lying, I will send more people to support you, but you must also remember that it takes a person's life, especially someone like Xiao Yan This kind of person with a deep city cannot use brute force, but to use wisdom. As long as he grasps his weakness, he will not be afraid that he will not submit obediently. Do you understand what I said? "

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"Now that you understand, let's back down!"

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

After the man in Tsing Yi left, the old man sank back into the chair, sneered cruelly twice, then squeezed the armrest tightly with his fingers, and said fiercely: "Sooner or later, the country of Qi will fall into my hands ,Hahaha……"

The next day, Bao Rong opened his eyes in a daze, but was surprised to find that he was sleeping on his dragon couch. Before he could find the man who slept with him in the same bed, he was disturbed by a shrill voice outside the door. thoughts.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and a group of well-dressed palace people stepped across the threshold in an orderly manner to wash and change clothes for the emperor.Baorong still seemed not used to being served by a group of people like this, and he was still a little shy and awkward when dressing, which made some older palace ladies always laugh in a low voice.

Bao Rong's face flushed even more when they laughed at her like this. He knew that these court ladies had no malicious intentions, so he let them go.

When going to court, Bao Rong scanned all the officials unconsciously, and when he couldn't find Xiao Yan, he felt a little lost and sour.He also didn't listen to half a word of the ministers' statement, and his mind was full of wondering whether Xiao Yan's injuries were all right.After finally surviving until the next court, his troubled mood gradually eased down.

Walking out of the main hall, he waved his hand at the little eunuch who was following him, signaling him not to continue following, and walked towards the imperial garden alone.

But when passing by the lotus pond, he inadvertently glanced at the lotus on the water, but he stopped suddenly, staring at the elegant and refined pale pink flower clusters and began to be dazed.

"Hmph, you lowly servant, you have two eyes, and you don't kneel down when you see Mr. Xi, do you want to die?" A little boy in green opened his mouth and cursed, so frightened that the little palace maid holding the tray trembled. , the pear cake on it was scattered all over the floor in an instant, and she didn't care to clean it up. Her feet softened and she knelt on the ground, kowtowing all the time.

"Slaves, slaves and maids pay respects to Mr. Xi, Mr. Xi."

"Hmph, hurry up and tidy up the things on the ground, so as not to be an eyesore to my young master." Relying on his identity as the master, the boy also used his prestige, and his words became more and more presumptuous.

"Yes, yes, servant girl, this, this will clean up."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Baorong came back to his senses in an instant, turned around and followed the sound, and then saw a man in a crimson embroidered brocade shirt standing beside the rockery piled up in troubled times in front of him.

The man's appearance is very delicate and elegant, like a lotus emerging from the water.

He raised his eyes slightly, and saw Xiao Baorong standing in front of him. After a slight smile, he walked quickly to Baorong's body, knelt down respectfully and bowed his head in salute.

"Xianfeng kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The little boy who was following behind Xifeng probably didn't expect that an emperor would appear suddenly, the majesty just now disappeared in an instant, and the pale-faced boy hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up!" Bao Rong quickly looked him up and down before Xi Feng approached him. He always felt that this person looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he had to get him up first. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty---" After Xi Feng got up, a pair of soft eyes stared straight at Bao Rong.

"You are—"

"Oh, back to the emperor──" Xi Feng answered immediately: "The emperor may not be familiar with Xi Feng, but the emperor must know the name of my brother. My brother's name is Xi Shuchen, and he is a general of Qi."

"You mean—Xi Shuchen?" Bao Rong recalled.Isn't that Xi Shuchen the one who blocked him time and time again?However, since he was drugged that night, he hadn't seen him again.He wanted to ask about his condition, but he didn't speak up after all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xi Feng also entered the palace this time to see my brother, because something happened at home, so—" Xi Feng said, his clenched right hand tightened suddenly, and the elegant smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth made him laugh. People look very uncomfortable.

"is it?"

Xi Feng nodded, and said again, "The emperor is going to the Imperial Garden, then Xi Feng will not bother you, and retreat first."

Bao Rong frowned anxiously. For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus coming to his nose, but what made him puzzled was that there was not even half a sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted around, so how could there be the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus? Woolen cloth?

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Bao Rong's slightly swaying body, Xi Feng suddenly turned pale with fright, stepped forward quickly, grabbed his arm in time, and asked with concern.

(0.4 fresh coins) Bao Rong was captured

"No, nothing, just a little dizzy!" Bao Rong put his hand on his forehead, feeling as if he was caught in the wind and cold, and a burst of sweat suddenly broke out all over his body.

"Your Majesty, if you don't dislike it, let the grass-roots people send you back to the palace to rest for a while, and ask the imperial physician to show you."

"No need—" Baorong waved his hand vigorously, "I can go back by myself, and you can go to your business."

"But—" Xi Feng had a troubled expression on his face, "Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks it is inappropriate to do this. If the Emperor is really unwell, if halfway—" He didn't finish his sentence, and Bao Rong simply refused.

"It doesn't matter to me──" As he said that, he suddenly pulled his arms away from Xi Feng's hands. In an instant, his body had no fulcrum, and he began to lean to one side again.

Bao Rong groaned, and during the short conversation, not only his forehead, but even his brocade robe were soaked a little, and his feet were as heavy as a boulder tied, so heavy that he couldn't lift it up.

"Your Majesty, let the grass-roots people send you back!" Xifeng said with some urgency in his voice, he turned his head and shouted at the little boy behind him: "Hurry up, let the imperial physician come to the emperor's bedroom immediately."

"I know, I know!" After finishing speaking, the boy turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Bao Rong tried his best to maintain his increasingly blurred will, but in the end he couldn't resist the attack of sleepiness, and fell heavily in Xi Feng's arms.

A resentful smile curled up her thin red lips. It just so happened that a line of guards with knives passed by, and Xi Feng took the opportunity to ask those guards to help Bao Rong back to the bedroom.He also pretended to be anxious and followed behind.

In the prime minister's mansion, Xiao Yan was sitting on the bed recuperating, but the bouts of mania in his heart made him uneasy. Although he had sent many people to protect Xiao Baorong, and even sent away his confidants, his heart was still in a mess. .

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, three quick knocks, which sounded like some kind of signal.

"Come in" Xiao Yan said coldly, putting aside his troubled thoughts.

The door was pushed open, and a young man wrapped in black fine clothes stepped in, quickly walked to Xiao Yan's bed, nodded respectfully and handed a crumpled note in front of him.

"My lord, my subordinates found a note nailed to the wall with a hidden weapon at the gate of the courtyard. Because of doubts and fears that someone might have ill intentions against the lord, they opened it to check without authorization. Unexpectedly—"

The person who spoke was Luo Wei.

"Note?" Xiao Yan frowned coldly, not caring whether the wound would be involved in the wound if he moved too much, he grabbed the note with lightning-like skill, and quickly swept the black small editor on it with a stern attitude, which was slightly The pale cheeks had lost all color.

"I'm going out for a while. You take some of your men and rush to the emperor's bedroom immediately, and watch around. Remember, without my order, you are not allowed to act rashly. Do you hear me?" Xiao Yan said while giving orders. Putting the robe on the bed over his body, he hurriedly walked out of the room.

"My lord, are you—are you really going?" Luo Wei hesitated for a moment, but immediately caught up and grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, "My lord, this subordinate thinks this is a good opportunity. It just happens to use this to get rid of Xiao Baorong, doesn't the lord also want to take that person's life? According to my subordinates, there is no need for the lord to do it himself for that kind of bitch, let—"

"Shut up---" Xiao Yan roared, the voice seemed to shake the roof of Dalian several times, he turned around and raised his hand, and slapped Luo Wei on the face, "You are really getting more and more courageous, even my decision You dare to obstruct him, don't you? In this world, I, Xiao Yan, can kill Xiao Baorong. Besides, if anyone dares to touch a hair of him, even if that is my brother, I will kill him with my own hands. No, never—relax."

Luo Wei's lips trembled slightly, and fear and bitterness clearly flashed across his eyes.

"Yes, this subordinate has found out his crime, and asks the Lord to punish him."

Xiao Yan looked down at him coldly, "After this matter is over, I will go get a hundred military sticks myself!" After saying this, he rushed out of the door without looking back.

Luo Wei bit his lower lip fiercely, tried hard to control his fist that was about to go crazy, got up and went out of the room, in his opinion, the Lord's order is above all else, and he himself is just a weapon that can be used at any time. They are all chess pieces that may be discarded.

In the emperor's bedroom, Bao Rong opened his eyes in a daze. The first thing he felt was a faint pain coming from the wrist bones of his limbs. Zhang Yin has a ruthless face.

"You, you are──" After uttering these two words, Bao Rong realized that his throat was dry and itchy, and he was so uncomfortable that he could hardly make a sound.
