Sheng Gong Dance

The eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and even the body seemed to have been beaten by someone.Xilou closed his eyes tightly and frowned uncomfortably.A pair of hands gently smoothed his frowning brows.

Yue Zhongtian looked at the west building with some confusion.It seems that I still can't be sure whether I have used my sincerity.Then why was he so irritable last night when he called someone's name?Is it a betrayal that is not allowed as a king, or is it a feeling of distaste for having different dreams in the same bed?

Slightly opened his eyes, just in time to see Yue Zhongtian staring at him without blinking.After a pause in Xilou's mind, he slowly remembered that he came to Shaohua Hall in a daze last night.So what happened afterwards?It must have been done later.But why is it so painful this time?

Looking down, under the brocade quilt, her body can be described as horrible.Xilou raised his eyes and gave Yue Zhongtian a hard look, then gritted his teeth and said, "Why doesn't my son know that the father is so rude?"

Yue Zhongtian blinked innocently, and sighed very sadly, "Last night, Lou'er called his name. I just lost control temporarily."

The west building shook, and almost forgot what happened last night.I'm afraid that the wine he drank during the day and the glass of fruit wine at night played a subtle role.

Losing his expression, Xilou said flatly, "It won't happen in the future." Saying that, he slowly raised his body.But as soon as he sat up straight, he touched the wound behind him, gasped for air, and fell backwards unsteadily, but fell into a familiar embrace.

Xilou seemed to nest in Yue Zhongtian's arms greedily.Neither of them said anything.In the Shaohua Palace, only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard in silence.

After a long time, Xilou slowly asked, "Is the father truly moved by the son?"

"Then what about Lou'er? Did you show your sincerity to Father?"

Looking back at Xilou, the two looked at each other and smiled, but remained silent.They are all too cautious people. Before knowing the other party's intentions, I am afraid that they will not take the initiative to offer.So, who will back down first?So be it.

Slowly breaking free from Yue Zhongtian's embrace, gently propped himself up, got out of bed, casually picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.Although the movement was light and slow, it still couldn't stop the pain on his body.The memory penetrated, and it seemed to return to that year.

Xilou smiled wryly, not wanting to think about it.He is a king, how can he always forget?

It was hard to get fully dressed.Without looking back, Xilou said lightly, "Father, my son is retiring." After saying that, he walked out with small steps.

From the beginning to the end, Yue Zhongtian didn't say a word, just watched quietly, watching that figure leave, unexpectedly fell into an indescribable silence.Did you hurt him?When he was so frustrated, he hurt more.

Seeing the west building coming back unsteadily, Tao Tao, who had been waiting outside the door all night, hastened a few steps to support the crumbling west building.Seeing his pale face, he asked eagerly, "Fourth Highness, what's the matter?"

Xilou just shook his head, smiled faintly, and his soft words drifted away like autumn leaves, "It's all right. Help me back to my room." Tao Tao wanted to ask again, but was stopped by his eyes.

Walking into the glazed hall, I feel really uncomfortable.Xilou simply lay down on the bed again.After a while, he fell asleep soundly.Seeing this, Tao Tao was worried, and just as he was about to go out to ask the imperial doctor, he bumped into Wei Min.

"Eunuch Wei..."

Wei Min looked up and down the kid in front of him, it seemed that he had never seen him in the palace.Thinking about it in my heart, I didn't ask much.

"In a panic, where are you going?"

"Eunuch Wei, Fourth Highness seems to be in poor health. This servant is planning to ask for an imperial doctor."

"Your Highness asked you to invite him?" Tao Tao was taken aback, raised his eyes to meet Wei Min's warning eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head again. "Since the Fourth Highness didn't let you go, don't make any claims."

"Yes." Tao Tao felt a little inexplicable.I don't know what Wei Min's intentions are.

"Well, you don't need to go to the imperial doctor anymore. Just give this to His Highness the Fourth Highness." Wei Min took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Tao Tao, "When the Fourth Highness wakes up, give it to him personally. Presumptuous assertion. Take note?"

"Remember it." Tao Tao hastily stretched out his hand and bowed to take it.Wei Min raised his head and looked in the direction of the bed, then turned and left.Tao Tao was left with a puzzled expression on his face.I don't know where the Fourth Highness went last night.I want to find it myself, but Phantom doesn't let me.The palace is really a weird place.

When I woke up again, it was already sunset.Suddenly remembered the matter of accompanying the envoy.He beckoned Tao Tao to ask, only to find out that Yu Chen had already been here.Seeing that he really seemed to be in poor health, he gave some instructions and then went to receive that Xiyun by himself.

It's a good deal to think that after sleeping for a day, you can avoid the entertainment.Rubbing his dizzy temples, Xilou slowly sat up.

Tao Tao carefully presented a brocade box in front of Xilou, "Your Highness, this is from Eunuch Wei." Xilou took the small brocade box, played with it casually, and threw it beside the bed.

Watching the brocade box draw an arc in the air, and finally fall on the bed, spilling a box of precious medicine from inside.Tao Tao glanced up, but before he had time to take a closer look, the quilt of the west building was lifted, blocking his sight.

"If His Royal Highness is not in good health, please see the imperial doctor."

Xilou raised his eyebrows and smiled, his face was still a little pale, "Do I look sick?"

"You don't look well. I'm worried..."

"I'm fine." Before Tao Tao could say anything more, Xilou interrupted.After all, no one would believe that the son and the father had sex, and no one would believe it.What's more, it can't be said.Otherwise, I am afraid that the face of the royal family will be lost.

"Help me to sit in the backyard."

"It's getting late, Fourth Highness. Going out to sit at this time, I'm afraid it's not good for you to catch a cold."

Xilou looked at Tao Tao strangely, "Why did I never know that you are such a mother-in-law?"

Tao Tao curled his lips helplessly, and tried to persuade him, "Fourth Highness, I am doing this for your own good. Your complexion is really ugly."

Sighing helplessly, Xilou had no choice but to compromise, "Then how about helping me to sit by the window?"

Sitting down on the soft couch, Xilou lazily looked out the window, and casually said to Tao Tao behind him, "How is the situation with King An Cheng?"

"It's already on the way. It will arrive soon after the envoy leaves."

"En." With a slight nod, Xilou said in a still voice, "Go get some supplements. I need to supplement them in the next few days."

Tao Tao was taken aback, he didn't expect that Xilou would suddenly change the subject, but he quickly agreed, "I'm going right now, slave."

Xilou frowned, "When did you get this bad habit? Don't call him 'slave'."

"Hehe, master, this superficial skill still needs to be done."

"There are no outsiders here." Tao Tao stuck out her tongue playfully, and ran out the door quickly.Xilou still looked at the scenery outside calmly.

Not long after, Tao Tao came in with supplements.Xilou took the jade bowl and put a spoonful of it into his mouth.Tao Tao reported again, "Master, the Prime Minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty is seeking an audience."

"Let him in. You go outside and watch."

"Yes."

Xilou was still unhurriedly spooning the tonics in the bowl, with a gentle smile already on his face.Seeing Xiyun coming in, he quickly put down the bowl and spoon, and got up to meet him.

"Prime Minister..."

"Fourth Highness..."

The two spoke at the same time, couldn't help being taken aback, and then looked at each other and smiled.Xilou raised his hand to signal Xiyun to sit down.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well recently, and I can't receive the prime minister. I hope the prime minister will not be offended."

Xiyun raised his eyes and quietly looked at the 15-year-old boy in front of him. Although the childishness between his brows had not been removed, his gestures and gestures showed the stability and maturity of an adult man.

"The Fourth Highness's health is important. How dare Xiyun blame him?"

Xilou smiled faintly, and said somewhat apologetically, "What happened in the back garden last time was caused by Xilou talking nonsense after drinking, and I hope the prime minister will not take offense."

Being asked this question by him just catered to the purpose of Xiyun's visit this time, "There is something that Xiyun wants to ask His Highness the Fourth Highness. I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

Seeing his embarrassment, Xilou smiled more understandingly, "If the Prime Minister has something to say, it's okay to say it."

"I heard that I look like an old friend of His Highness the Fourth Highness."

Unexpectedly, it was only a drunk gaffe in the back garden that would spread so quickly.Xilou smiled helplessly, and didn't deny it, "It's really similar."

"Your Majesty the Fourth Highness is a man of temperament, so you can look at things and think about people, and relieve the pain of lovesickness." After the words stopped here, Xi Yun still looked at the west building calmly.

Xilou didn't react too much, just discussing the matter, "Does the prime minister want to make any deal with Xilou?"

Hearing what he said, you know he is a sensible person.Xiyun was not in a hurry to speak, but analyzed slowly, "The Fourth Highness has lost the backing of the General's Mansion now. The Dasheng Emperor is in his prime. Even if the Fourth Highness becomes the crown prince in the future, it may only be Dasheng It’s just a pawn in the emperor’s hands.” Seeing that Xilou seemed to be thinking quietly, Xi Yun said again, “Why don’t you use Nantang as your backing and how about His Highness Bao Si ascending to the throne of God?”

"Introduce foreign enemies and initiate a palace change?" Xilou still smiled lightly, "Then what are your conditions?"

"I just hope that Nantang and Dasheng will be reconciled forever."

"Is this the prime minister's wish, or the Southern Tang emperor's wish?"

Xiyun paused, and a ripple flashed in his indifferent eyes.Qicheng wholeheartedly wants to regain the future, but never worries about the current situation.How can such a person let go.

The soft voice from the west building slowly sounded, "The ancients said that the world's major events, the long-term must be divided, and the long-term must be united. Dasheng, Nantang, Guyu, Beizhao, Beiliao, Guxun. Sooner or later, the two will become one. .This is the trend. Like riding on a torrent, we can only adapt to the situation."

When Xiyun heard this, his heart felt sad, but he had to look at the young man in front of him again.Obviously, he was also in it, but he seemed like an outsider.To be elusive is to underestimate him.

"The emperor of the Southern Tang wanted to take back the world that once belonged to him, but he was unable to do so. Even if I promised the prime minister today, there is no guarantee that I will not be forced to fight in the future." Xilou turned and said He asked, "Actually, Xilou doesn't understand. With the prime minister's ingenuity, if you really want to keep Southern Tang temporarily, why don't you provoke it in Guyu and Dasheng?"

Xiyun smiled wryly, "If I can succeed, why should I come here to negotiate terms with His Royal Highness? Gu Yu's country has not been stable in recent years, and there seems to be a palace change not long ago. If it wasn't for Emperor Dasheng's prudent actions, I think the Southern Tang Dynasty would have fallen into Dasheng's hands long ago."

Xilou sighed, this is the helplessness of the country.Standing up slowly, coming to Xiyun, the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, but was finally retracted.The hope in Xi Yun's eyes has also faded.

"Xiyun, your biggest mistake is that you should not be attached to the court."

Unexpectedly, Xilou would say this, Xiyun smiled softly, as if seeing a long-time confidant, "Xilou, you don't understand. Who hasn't been young and frivolous?"

This word is very familiar.He also said it.Xilou smiled faintly, and continued to listen quietly to Xiyun's words slowly.

"When I was young, I wanted to serve my family and country, but I didn't know that the Southern Tang Dynasty was already at the end of its battle. What's more unfortunate is that the former emperor was stupid, and an imperial decree trapped the son of an important court official in the glazed palace." The still calm eyes , lightly sweeping across the glazed hall. "Helpless in the deep palace, drunk with money, playing and singing every night. The edges and corners of a young man have long since worn away, leaving only unwilling obedience. But I met him. If there is no him, how can there be today's Prime Minister Xiyun?"

"But you are not happy."

The sentence seemed to refer to Xiyun's pain, and a crack appeared on his plain expression.Xiyun raised his head and looked directly at the west building, "What do your Highnesses think about Xiyun's conditions?"

Xilou still narrated unhurriedly, "Nantang and Dasheng have maintained a delicate balance for many years. Although there are gifts in exchange, they have never sent envoys. This time Xiyun came here to rest assured Let the emperor of the Southern Tang fight alone. As far as I know, since Li Qicheng came to the throne in the Southern Tang, it can be said that civil strife has continued. The only person he can trust is you. But your time is running out, Like a dying candle, it is about to burn out. So what if he is alone? You really want to do something for him when you leave. Even if it delays the destruction of Southern Tang."

I didn't expect my thoughts to be seen through so easily, and the person in front of me was only a 15-year-old boy.Xiyun didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Xiyun, because you are like him, so I advise you. You and I are powerless to stop the so-called trend. Why don't you spend the rest of your life with him while the trend is still there. Don't die for Jiangshan, it's not worth it. The whole world can't exchange for true love."

For the first time, Xiyun smiled from the bottom of his heart, "It's really a pity, it's too late to meet Xilou." After a slight pause, Xiyun said again, "If Nantang is willing to surrender sincerely, can Xilou keep his status for the rest of his life? ?”

"Will he really let you bear the name of traitor?

"He won't." Xiyun smiled bitterly. "With his personality, I'm afraid he won't go into seclusion with me, but he will strike first." Both of them sighed at this point.

"Then it's good to stay with him till the end. Why bother to carry too much burden?"

Xi Yun laughed at himself, "I thought I wanted to seduce the Fourth Highness with beauty, but I didn't expect it to be futile. However, Xi Yun is grateful for the advice of the Fourth Highness."

Bowing and bowing, the two still looked at each other and smiled.Xiyun turned around and left in a hurry.This time, when we see each other again, I'm afraid it will be the day when soldiers are coming to the city.
