The phoenix pattern is surging

Li Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak, Cui Ling leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Your Highness, this is Mi Zhaoyi who has been very favored recently."

This woman is actually just a girl in her twenties, he nodded with a smile, pointed to the stool beside him, and motioned for her to sit down before talking, Yan Xie sneered, with a look of disdain on her face.

"I also said how the beauty of the country and the city has fascinated His Majesty's soul. It turns out that she is a male favourite!"

The sharpness in Li Ran's eyes flashed away, his handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked him up and down, and the emerald green bell greeted him with a forced smile, and said, "Ms. tall body."

After finishing speaking, she still glanced at her abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, Yan Xie slightly pulled the corner of her mouth, and said: "Indeed, I am pregnant with a dragon heir now, there is no need to fight for the limelight at this moment." After a pause, he said , "Although the Yong'an Palace is comfortable to live in, you should take care of yourself anyway, so be careful!"

Li Ran sighed secretly, and thought to himself that the women in the Xiping harem are really better than each other. In fact, the harem of any country is not like this, but he has a high status in Beiye, so naturally no one dares to provoke him. Now he is in Xiping. There is no distinction between names, so naturally they are not the same.

"I hope that your majesty will be cautious in words and deeds. Your majesty entrusts your servants to never let anyone disturb my master's purity. If there is nothing important, you should leave early."

Yan Mi's face sank, and her eyes were like knives as she threw Cui Ling at Cui Ling. Cui Ling was brave enough to stand upright and confront her, but Li Ran chuckled lightly and said, "It's okay, let her continue talking. That sounds interesting."

She obviously didn't expect the other party to say such a word, she secretly gritted her silver teeth with hatred, but she didn't dare to cross the line because of the sacred edict, she said a few harsh words, snorted coldly and flung her sleeves away. go.

Li Ran squinted at her receding figure, and sighed, "This is really impatient."

Cui Ling curled her lips in disdain, and said: "She is just relying on her recent favor, and now she is pregnant with a dragon heir, so arrogant and domineering, it really makes people angry!"

Li Ran stared at her for a while, then chuckled lightly at the end, and asked rather puzzled: "What? You don't like her very much?"

Cui Ling felt that she had lost her sense of proportion, she hurriedly knelt down, and said: "Your Highness, forgive me, it's my slave who made a slip of the tongue."

Li Ran stretched out his hand to help her, winked at her again, and said, "Why panic, I don't really want to see her, we are each other."

It took a while for the other party to feel sorry, and couldn't help but chuckle, and said angrily: "Your Highness is really cunning, you have set up slaves so much for nothing, and made them false alarm."

Li Ran laughed, took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to her, and said, "I apologize, is it alright?"

Cui Ling's face flushed, and she said, "Your Highness, you don't need to pay attention to the servants, the servants are just..."

"Okay, you and I didn't know each other for a day or two, so why not be polite."

Cui Ling covered her mouth and gave a sly smile, then straightened her face again, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, don't you want your servant to help you escape?"

Li Ran's eyes moved, he coughed lightly, and asked half-truthfully, "Will you help me one day?"

Cui Ling bowed her head in silence for a moment, and finally said softly: "Your Highness, servants must never betray His Majesty."

She looked at a loss, Li Ran sighed secretly, knowing that this plan probably wouldn't work, he thought to himself that he had to think of another way, and said, "You're joking, why are you so serious?"

"Your Highness, please spare the servants, just stop scaring people."

Li Ran smiled comprehensibly, bowed his head to drink the porridge and stopped talking, but his heart was full of twists and turns.

When Su Mo came to Yong'an Hall, Li Ran had already fallen asleep. Cui Ling saw him and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Zhaoyi and Concubine Gui came here this morning."

"What are they here for? Didn't I tell you early on that no one else can enter the palace to disturb you?"

His expression was stern, Cui Ling hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty calm down, it's the servant's dereliction of duty, it's just..."

"Say."

She hesitated again and again, and said: "The two masters are here, the slaves dare not stop, the imperial concubine is also respectful to His Highness, and Zhaoyi really said some nasty words, it is very unbearable."

"What did you say?"

"The slaves dare not speak."

"Say!"

"Zhaoyi said...His Highness is just a...male favourite, and also said that His Highness...doesn't deserve to live here...Yong'an Hall..."

The more Su Mo listened back, his eyes became colder, and he said with hatred: "Zhaoyi? How can she be this Zhaoyi!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Go! According to my order, Zhaoyi will be reduced to a beauty, her title will be stripped, and she will be grounded from now on. Without my word of mouth, you will not be allowed to step out of the gate of the palace!"

Gong Huai'an answered yes, and was about to take the order to leave, when Li Ran came out of the inner hall with a calm expression on his face, and said, wait, Gong Huai'an looked at him, then at the livid-faced man. People don't know what to do.

"It's just angry words, I didn't take it to heart."

Cui Ling saw the slight hesitation in Su Mo's eyebrows, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is tolerant, but not everyone is as magnanimous as you!"

Li Ran took a deep look at her and said, "It's just a woman, I don't care about her, and you don't care about it either."

Cui Ling was slightly startled, bowed her head and said nothing more, Li Ran said no more, raised her eyes to Su Mo, and said, "It's a small matter, there's no need for everyone to know about it."

Gong Huaian apologized and said with a smile on the side: "I think what your highness said is reasonable, and there are many people in the harem. If this matter gets out, those who know will naturally applaud, but those who don't know will only say that your highness is arrogant. Please Your Majesty, think twice."

Although Li Ran was not impressed by the "be pampered and proud" in his mouth, he nodded in agreement and said, "That's what it means."

Su Mo frowned and thought for a while, then snorted coldly. Seeing that he didn't want to pursue further, Cui Ling's eyes darkened slightly. Li Ran saw her expression in his eyes, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, turned and entered the inner hall, Su Mo With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the crowd to disperse, and he followed in.

When he entered, Li Ran was drinking tea, so he picked a seat and sat down, saying: "After talking so much, I should be thirsty."

Such a laid-back expression vaguely resembled the look he had when he was in Jinmanlou that day. Li Ran glanced at him lightly and said, "At any rate, she is also the woman you like, so there's no need to be so ruthless, right?"

Su Mo frowned, and said: "If I can spoil her, I can also destroy her. If I don't even understand this truth, how can I be my concubine?"

His face was taken for granted, Li Ran was speechless, Su Mo saw the disdain in his eyes, and retorted: "How is your surname Jiang better than me?"

Li Ran was not provoked by him, sighed, and said calmly: "The good ones don't compare, we only pick the bad ones."

Su Mo didn't expect him to say such a thing at all, first he laughed, then clapped his hands and laughed, the laughter was so joyful, then he approached him and asked rather ambiguously: "I've said so much, but do you want to persuade me to be less promiscuous?"

"You think too much."

He looked calm and composed, but Su Mo became more and more interested. He leaned over and asked again and again, but Li Ran simply kept silent and ignored him after sleeping with his clothes on.

That night, despite Bianhe's instructions, the two of them still lived in peace.

Once again receiving news from Liu Jun, Su Mo was so angry that he slapped his hand on the imperial case, and did not speak for a long time. At this moment, Gong Huaian reported outside, saying that the assistant minister had arrived.

When Si Wei came into the hall, Su Mo stood behind the imperial case with his hands behind his back. He respectfully bowed to the seated person and said, "Your Majesty, there is news."

Su Mo's expression froze, and Si Wei handed the melody to Gong Huai'an. Gong Huai'an bowed and presented it. Su Mo opened it with a cold face, and a smile appeared in his eyes after a while.

"Can it be true?"

"It's absolutely true, although Dongyue hasn't changed anything, but since Huining dared to cause trouble, he probably has something to do with him."

"So, it's really a good show. Hehe, Beiye Jiangjue, I want to see how he responds!"

This cold and unpredictable sound echoed in the hall, and gradually disappeared at the end of the long white marble steps. Si Wei concentrated on it, thought for a moment and said: "Right now, we might as well stand on the sidelines and watch."

Su Mo walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, and finally stood still in front of the case, and said, "Go and pass on my oral order, and let the commanders of the left and right enter the palace immediately to face the saint!" After a pause, he asked in a deep voice, "Dan Feng How is the battle going?"

Gong Huaian said yes, didn't dare to delay any longer, and went out of the hall with the oral order. Si Wei was silent for a long time, and said: "Although Xiang Qi is indecisive, how could Kang Ping let go of such a good opportunity for nothing."

"However, although Danfeng is fighting with the main force, it will be difficult to stop Beiye's army after all. Although it will not retreat steadily, the situation is not good."

"Useless stuff!" Su Mo snorted coldly, pondered for a moment, and said, "There is no need to worry about sending troops, but Dongyue has to guard against it."

"Exactly, you can be invincible if you plan before you move."

Su Mo nodded, with deep thought in his eyes, Si Wei took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "Success or failure is not a matter of time, Your Majesty don't need to worry about the past, it's just the beginning."

What he said was extremely firm. Su Mo was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand in response. Then he remembered Liu Jun's matter again, his eyebrows frowned, and he asked in a deep voice: "The person sent to look for Liu Jun has set out?"

Si Wei nodded, and said: "I have obeyed His Majesty's order and sent people to Beiye overnight to find someone. It's just that the second son is stubborn, so I'm afraid it's not easy to persuade."

"No matter what, he will definitely be brought back to me!"

Su Mo slapped the table hard with his palm, his eyes were cold.

Seeing his unkind expression, Si Wei was slightly taken aback. For so many years, their lord's favoritism towards the second young master of the Liu family is well known, and now his tone is not lacking in sternness. How can he not make him angry? suspect?

"Your Majesty is in such a hurry to recall the Second Young Master, do you have any important orders?"

He asked this question carefully, Su Mo snorted coldly, and said, "How dare you disregard my word of mouth, this time I will definitely not spare him lightly!"

Si Wei was slightly startled, and looked over with an inquisitive look, seeing that the anger in the opponent's brows and eyes did not seem to be fake, he shuddered all over, thinking to himself that Nan Liuliran made them, the emperor, care so much?

So, it's really not good.

The Xiping Harem looks like a peaceful state.

On this day, Li Ran got the consent, and "accompanied" by Cui Ling, he wandered outside Yong'an Hall, and by coincidence, he ran into the extremely favored concubine Zhaoyi.

He greeted him with a smile on his face, but the other party raised his brows in disgust, and said: "The harem is a residence for women, you are a man, don't you even know how to avoid suspicion?"

Li Ran couldn't help laughing, thinking to herself that this little girl was really interesting, with a smile on her face, she waved to Cui Ling with deep eyes, and raised her legs to leave.

Just at this moment, a scream came from behind, he turned to look, and saw that Mi Zhaoyi had fallen to the ground, a small snake the size of a thumb was wrapped around his calf, his back was grass green, with jet-black spots interspersed with spots. The white dots, with burnt red at the end, are Zhuyeqing.

He yelled inwardly that he was not good, stepped forward, grabbed Qicun with one hand, squeezed his head with the other, and flicked his wrist fiercely, only heard a crisp snap, and the snake was shocked and fainted.

"Blood!"

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the little maid next to her scream in surprise, it turned out that Yan Xie's trousers were already bright red, and she fainted.

The little palace maid was afraid that she was frightened, she stretched out her hand and pushed her master vigorously.

"Don't move!" Li Ran said in a deep voice, and ordered her to fetch water, then squatted down and opened the trousers of the other party, and the two teeth marks were clearly visible.

"Your Highness, whether a man or a woman can kiss each other, you..."

Cui Ling persuaded her in a low voice with embarrassment, Li Ran glanced sideways at her, and the other party just kept silent and didn't dare to say more.

"Give me a rope!"

"Rope? The servants don't have any."

"handkerchief?"

"Have."

"Bring it!"

He stretched out his hand, Cui Ling took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him, without saying a word, rolled up Yan Xie's trousers.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Cui Ling was startled and frightened, she yelled incoherently several times, Li Ran ignored her, and tied her calf with a handkerchief to prevent the venom from flowing back.

After the little maid ran back with the water bottle, seeing the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that she almost knocked the water to the ground. Li Ran glanced at her impatiently, took the water bottle, and pulled out the white jade on the crown. The golden hairpin was drawn twice on the wound, squeezed repeatedly for a while from the proximal end to the wound, and rinsed with water while squeezing.

Going back and forth like this, after about two or three cups of tea, the inner eunuch led the imperial physician. The leader was wearing a bright yellow robe carved with gold silk carved with Nine Dragon Opera Pearls, followed by two people in official uniforms, looking hurried. , must have rushed over as soon as he received the news.

When everyone arrived, they were all stunned when they saw the situation in front of them.
