It should be because there was no water for three days.

"There is no emperor here, only Xiao Yan, do you feel thirsty, I will pour some water for you, and see how dry your lips are, just wait!"

Xiao Yan made a gesture to get up, but Bao Rong reached out and grabbed the skirt of his clothes.

"Don't, don't go!" Baorong's eyes flickered, as if he had something on his mind but didn't dare to say it.

"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? I asked Luo Ying to come and show you!"

"..." Bao Rong shook his head.

"What's the matter? Isn't it---" Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he had already made the worst plan in his heart.

"I—did I sleep for a long time?"

"Three days, tell me, isn't it a long time?" Xiao Yan said lovingly, gently grabbed Bao Rong's hand that was pulling the top of the skirt, carefully put it back under the quilt, and tucked the quilt back up.

"Have you been here with me all this time?"

When asked by Baorong, Xiao Yan was speechless.

"Just now, I had a long, long dream. I dreamed about many things and many people!"

Xiao Yan's heart was raised in his throat in an instant, and there was unprecedented anxiety and panic in his eyes.

"It's just that it's all about how Ran'er played tricks on you. Do you remember that two years ago, he actually put a bug in your boot while you were taking a nap? Another time, it was Half a year ago, he still—”

"Baorong──" Xiao Yan suddenly clenched his fists and stood up.

"What, what's the matter?" Bao Rong was stunned by the sudden move.

"No, it's nothing, I was just thinking, pour you some water!" Xiao Yan slowly let go of his fist, turned around, went to the table and poured a glass of water back, and gently helped Bao Rong up, "Come on, Drink some water first!"

"Mmm..." Bao Rong didn't refuse, but he answered and drank the water.

"Drink slowly, be careful of choking!" Xiao Yan looked at the person in front of him with distress, and his nervous heart calmed down a little.

let it go!What should come, always will come.

(0.38 fresh coins) Concubine Zhen's Conspiracy

In the next few days, Xiao Yan would rush to Jinlan Pavilion where Ji Ran lived to visit Bao Rong every time he finished his court.Every time before stepping in front of the door, I heard the noise of playing from inside, the noise was so loud that the house almost shook several times.

Xiao Yan was worried about Bao Rong's body, so naturally he wouldn't give that troublesome boy any good looks, and every time he turned an angry face at him, and even raised his hand to beat him.But he has elder brother Rong, a life-saving straw who has tried all kinds of things, so he is afraid that his father will fail?

As long as he hides behind Baorong's legs and pretends to be pitiful.No matter how capable Xiao Yan is, there is nothing he can do about this brat.

In fact, such a happy scene is not bad.But here in the palace, there are some people who can't understand these things. When they see the emperor running to Jinlan Pavilion without doing anything all day long, their teeth itch with anger, wishing to immediately peel off the skin of the 'instigator' who is an eyesore.

This is none other than Concubine Zhen, the neglected hostess of Ningxue Palace.

She waited anxiously every day, and she finally got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of "Heaven pays off".

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Rong?" Concubine Zhen gently shook the round fan embroidered with phoenixes in her hand, and walked gracefully down the stone bridge, followed by more than a dozen personal maids, all of whom nodded slightly.

Bao Rong, who was sitting by the lotus pond, heard someone calling his name, looked back, and with the silvery moonlight, he saw that charming face clearly and recognized her identity.So he got up from the stone seat, came to Concubine Zhen, nodded respectfully and said: "Cao Min sees Concubine Zhen!"

"Hmph! You slave is so courageous. You still dare to stand when you see your empress. Why don't you kneel down quickly, don't you want your head?" The maid standing on the left side of Concubine Zhen rolled her eyes at Baorong, angrily Annoyed.

"Qing'er, shut up! What kind of slave is not a slave? Don't you know that Mr. Rong is a celebrity around the emperor? How can someone like Mr. Rong be compared with those father-in-laws who are physically incomplete? It's really presumptuous!" Concubine Zhen rolled her eyes The overflowing poisonous light gave her a warning look, and she smiled uncharacteristically at Baorong again: "Young Master Rong, Qing'er doesn't understand etiquette, I hope you don't blame her!"

"──" Baorong didn't answer, but just nodded slightly.

"By the way, Mr. Rong. It's so late at night, why don't you take a rest, but sit by the lotus pond in a daze, don't you--what's on your mind!" Concubine Zhen's seemingly soft eyes hide a hint of gloom Spicy and vicious.

"I was going to the emperor to pick up the little prince back to Jinlan Pavilion. When I passed by here, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I sat down and rested for a while!"

"Master Rong, is this going to the emperor's place?" Concubine Zhen showed a bit of joy on her face, "What a coincidence, I am also planning to go to the emperor's place! These days, the emperor is always busy with everything. Even the Ningxue Palace in the palace didn’t even bother to go. Therefore, I ordered the imperial chef to boil a bowl of lotus seed soup, and wanted to bring it to the emperor to refresh himself──”

"However—" Concubine Zhen's hand shaking the round fan froze suddenly, and the other slender hand touched Bao Rong's shoulder without warning, and said in a vague voice: "Since Mr. Rong also intends to go to the emperor's place, it's okay." To save me from having to make another trip." She lightly waved her hand holding the handle of the fan, and a maid carrying a tray came to her side.

"I also hope that Mr. Rong can bring this palace to present this lotus seed soup to the emperor." Concubine Zhen glanced at the porcelain cup with dragon body tattooed on the tray with complicated eyes, then turned her head again to look at Bao Rong, "I don't know, can Mr. Rong help me with this?"

Baorong thought for a while, but didn't answer for a long time.Just when he was about to answer, Concubine Zhen gave the order before him.

"Yu'er, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and hand over the things to Mr. Rong. If there is a delay and the soup is cold, how can the emperor drink it?"

"Yes, it's empress!" The maid called Yu'er hurriedly responded, hurriedly trotted to Baorong's body, and handed the tray to his chest.

"Young Master Rong, I will trouble you!"

Baorong watched the maid's hand trembling slightly holding the tray, and knew that if he didn't take it, she would definitely be beaten severely when she went back.

"Caomin obey!" Bao Rong thought of this, took the tray and returned to Concubine Zhen, "If Concubine Zhen has nothing else to do, then Caomin will leave first."

Concubine Zhen didn't say a word, just nodded, then turned around and left in the opposite direction proudly.

After Concubine Zhen left, Bao Rong looked down at the porcelain cup, then turned around and buried himself in the darkness.

The imperial study room, which was supposed to be quiet and solemn, now heard giggles.

"Hahaha, father, look, these two crickets are so funny when they fight!" Ji Ran knelt beside the desk full of memorials, holding a thin stick in her little hand, and was in high spirits Playing with crickets, I didn't feel sleepy at all.

As for why Ji Ran was here, it was because Xiao Yan was afraid that Bao Rong, who had only recovered from his body, would be overwhelmed by this brat, so he reluctantly brought him here.

"Wow──hahaha──"

"Ji Ran──" Xiao Yan slapped the brush on the table, anger was written on his stern face, just as he was about to reach out to grab him, he heard the creak of the door being pushed open.

He looked up, just in time to see Baorong stepping over the threshold with one foot.

"Bao, Baorong, why are you here?" Xiao Yan hurriedly withdrew the hand that was attacking Ji Ran, walked down the steps and walked in front of Baorong.

"Brother Rong──" Ji Ran threw away the stick in his hand like crazy when he saw the person coming, and rushed towards Baorong.

"I'll take Ran'er back to Jinlan Pavilion, and by the way—" Bao Rong hesitated for a moment, thinking that Xiao Yan would be angry when he heard the word Zhenfei, so he continued with a smile: "Let the cook cook a bowl of lotus seeds." Soup, drink some refreshment for you!"

"Brother Rong, Ran'er wants to hug──" Ji Ran saw that his brother Rong was only talking to his father, and seemed to not see him at all, so his two little hands immediately grabbed the clothes on Baorong's thighs, desperately yelled.

"Ji Ran──" Xiao Yan yelled again, making Ji Ran tremble all over in fright, and immediately stopped speaking, but the words "unconvinced" were clearly written on his face.

"Why do you always yell at him, look how scared he is!" Bao Rong complained lightly.

(0.56 Fresh Coins) Poison

"Yeah!" Ji Ran nodded immediately, and murmured aggrievedly, "Father is always fierce to Ran'er, and would beat Ran'er every now and then, and Ran'er only likes Brother Rong, because Brother Rong has never been mean to Ran'er! "

Baorong looked at the child hiding behind his legs with eyes full of love, and said with a smile: "Ran'er, go there and play for a while by yourself, I will say a few words to your father, and then we will go back to sleep ,OK?"

"Ah! I have to go to bed so early!" Ji Ran's face was full of disappointment, and her immature voice was full of pleading.

There was a trace of feigned surprise in Baorong's gentle smile, "Why, Ran'er doesn't want to sleep? I plan to tell you a story before going to bed tonight! If that's the case, then you will stay with your father tonight It's all right around you."

"Tell a story?" Ji Ran danced with joy as soon as he heard the word, "Ran Er wants to listen to the story, and Ran Er wants to go back with Brother Rong." He cheerfully ran to the wooden chair next to him and climbed up. He got up, sat down obediently, and said coquettishly to Baorong: "Brother Rong, hurry up."

Bao Rong smiled and nodded towards him.

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, his eyes fell on Bao Rong's pale face again, he couldn't help but frowned, and there was a slight scolding in his low voice, "Didn't I say that Ran'er has been left alone for the past two days? I
