end of days

"Master! Master!"

Zhuo Ran heard Ziyin's flustered voice from a long distance away, and couldn't help being a little funny.

This girl is always so reckless, she doesn't know when she will grow up.

"What's the matter, Ziyin?"

"Hey? Young Master, why did you get out of bed? Didn't Ling Luo tell you to take a good rest?!"

Rushed into the inner hall, only to find that Zhuo Ran was standing by the window, looking at the old magnolia tree in the yard, wondering what he was thinking.

"I've been lying in bed for so many days, I should get out of bed and walk away, otherwise the bones will all fall apart."

Zhuo Ran was not a person who could survive bed rest, so many days of "torture" was unprecedented, so as soon as he was able to move, he eagerly got out of bed and stretched his sore muscles and bones.

"It's you, why are you so unsteady? You are a big girl, and you still stumble like this."

Ziyin couldn't help being taken aback, and before she could react, she saw Zhuo Ran looking for Ruanta and walked over.

Suddenly remembering the purpose of rushing in, Ziyin became anxious again.

"My lord, I just heard that Concubine De is coming..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch's arrogant voice coming from outside the door.

"The concubine de concubine is here—"

Zhuo Ran looked at the unlined clothes on his body, feeling a little embarrassed, how could he see others with his disheveled clothes?

"This Ling Luo, I don't know where he went at the critical moment!" Ziyin stomped her feet and complained, Ling Luo was always elusive, but when she really needed him, she couldn't even find him.

"Young master, go back to bed quickly, men and women are different, don't let Empress Defei catch you."

Pulling and tugging, Zhuo Ran was stuffed back into the quilt, and Zi Yin rushed out to greet her.

Zhuo Ran straightened out the ripped skirts, and added a pillow behind his neck to make himself look less embarrassed.

But not long after, I heard a "pop" sound from the outer hall, followed by a burst of sharp scolding.

"Your master is sick?! What is your master! Even if he is dead, he should have asked De Concubine Empress first!" Ziyin was slapped by De Concubine's personal eunuch.

Zhuo Ran felt a little guilty, he was always dragging others down, and this time Zi Yin was so tired that he was beaten, Ling Luo didn't know how to feel sorry for her!

Just about to get up to see what the arrogant concubine De was like, she heard a beautiful and cold voice reprimanding the previous eunuch.

"You damn slave, Bengong hasn't said anything yet, but you are quick to talk, but you still have Bengong in your eyes?!"

"The servant dare not."

"Pull it down and slap your mouth." Concubine De's voice did not contain a trace of pity, but it actually had an aura of its own.

The dispute outside the door ended in the eunuch's begging for mercy, Concubine De raised the corner of her mouth, helped Zi Yin who was covering her face, and said: "I am not strict in discipline, but you are laughing at me, take me to see you Master."

But in his heart he was proud, he had known for a long time that the Fuquan beside him was Xiao Shufei's eyeliner, but because he had no evidence, it would be difficult for him to rashly offend a servant.

Today is a god-sent opportunity, only to blame this slave for getting carried away and just replaced him.

Seeing their master's smile, Xuejiang and Xuejian shivered for no reason.

On the contrary, Zi Yin saw that Concubine De's attitude was actually kind, so she let go of her guard, and if Ling Luo knew about it, she would have to blame her for not knowing the world.

Seeing Zhuo Ran for real, Concubine De couldn't hide her surprise in her eyes.

Really unexpected, Concubine De sighed inwardly, it was actually a man!

Although he is a good looking man.

Moreover, this man actually made her feel a little familiar. She searched her memory, but there was no image after all.

Unexpectedly, this time the emperor really surprised people.

"Ziyin, go to Ling Luo to get some medicine first." Looking at Ziyin's red and swollen left cheek, Zhuo Ran sighed slightly.

Seeing Concubine De's gaffe, Zhuo Ran felt that it was expected.

Concubine De also took advantage of the situation to push back the maids and eunuchs.

"You have something to say to Bengong." Concubine De's tone was clearly affirmative.

"That's right." Zhuo Ran had actually been waiting for this moment for a long time. When the opportunity came, he didn't want to play dumb, "I know that you are capable, and you don't want me to be your stumbling block."

"That's right." Concubine De looked at Zhuo Ran with admiration. It seemed that he was still a smart man.

"Then, help me, I know you can do it, help me out of the palace."

Zhuo Ran stared at Concubine De, with a blazing fire of hope in his eyes, he was betting on whether Concubine De was as smart as he thought.

"You have to change anyone other than this palace, I'm afraid it will only bring you disaster," Concubine De smiled lightly, "It's also fortunate that you have the intention to leave, otherwise, I'm afraid that this palace can only be with you become an enemy."

"Your Majesty is exactly as Zhuoran thought."

Looking at each other and smiling, the two of them had apparently made an invisible contract.

"But—my hand can't reach the harem, you should understand."

"How could it be? The general's mansion is so powerful that the empress is afraid that there is nothing she can do?"

"Zhuo Ran, you should know that there is a saying in this world called 'a rabbit dies like a dog, cross the river and destroy the bridge'." Concubine De looked at Zhuo Ran, but found that the other person's face suddenly turned paler, as if she was tired instantly.

"That's right, Zhuo Ran understands, naturally he doesn't dare to endanger the Pei family, after leaving the harem, Zhuo Ran will make another plan."

It turned out that the Pei family had also been included in the emperor's blacklist, and I felt a little regretful. Pei's eldest son, Pei Di, had some friendship with him back then, but it was a pity that he died early on the battlefield and became a piece of loess. Even the corpse was never found. He also missed seeing the prosperity of the Pei family.

Rubbing his temples, Zhuo Ran looked up at Concubine De and smiled helplessly.

"You take care of yourself, I will be in touch with you, but today I have gained a lot, if we hadn't met here and now, I believe that we will become very good friends."

It's a pity that for the future of the Pei family, Zhuo Ran must be an obstacle to be eliminated.

Concubine De also felt helpless, but in this world, there are not many places where people can really do whatever they want.

Without saying goodbye, Concubine De just picked up her clothes and left. When she got to the outer hall, she saw several court ladies and eunuchs gathering together and whispering, as if they were discussing something shady.

"Don't gossip about what I saw today."

If the minister finds out that the emperor has secretly brought a man back to the palace, Zhuo Ran may not live well for a few days.

I hope that he can survive until the day when he arranges everything by himself, which can be regarded as fulfilling his expectation of freedom.

A bird in captivity can never escape destruction, let alone an eagle that will never compromise.

After waving her hand, signaling to all the servants to put on a fight, Concubine De left Quehua Hall as she had come.

---------------------------------------------------------

Zhuo Ran only wore unlined clothes, and came to the magnolia tree in the yard by himself, gently stroking the rough branches, Zhuo Ran closed his eyes, and caught the seemingly invisible breath of spring.

"Danzhu...you have always liked this magnolia...but I have not been able to fulfill my promise to show you the flower you have been thinking about..."

Looking up into the dense branches, stretching out his hands to feel the sunlight coming in through the branches and leaves, Zhuo Ran is like a tree elf, and his whole body is covered with brilliance.

What Xuanyuanhen saw when he raised his eyes was the beauty that made him remember his whole life.

As soon as Fang went to court, he heard Xiao Dezi say that Concubine De had been to the Quehua Palace, which made him really nervous.

He thinks he understands the characters of Concubine De and Concubine Shu thoroughly. They are equally domineering, have the same ambition, and are equally vicious and cunning.

Worried about the humiliation that the physically and mentally injured person would encounter, Xuanyuan Hen ran over in a hurry, and even blatantly used lightness kung fu.

Fortunately, the road to Quehua Palace was surprisingly quiet today, otherwise, tomorrow everyone would know that the emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty was actually a master of the ninth rank.

However, as soon as he entered the gate of the palace, he saw the thin man standing quietly among the flowers in only a white coat, as if he was about to fly away like this.

"Are you better?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was startled by a person who was still in a daze ten feet away. Zhuo Ran suddenly opened his eyes, but felt dizzy for a while. In the next second, he fell into a warm embrace.

"It's just spring, why don't you wear more clothes?" Xuanyuanhen only felt a chill oozing from the body of the person in his arms, as if ice was hidden.

After Zhuo Ran stood firm, he pushed Xuanyuan Hen's hands clasped on his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Do I still have clothes?"

Xuanyuanhen thought about it carefully, but felt a little guilty. Since that night, Zhuo Ran mostly fell asleep, and he also forgot to ask someone to bring some commonly used things over.

Taking off the brocade robe on his body, regardless of the surprise in Zhuoran's eyes, he insisted on putting it on his body.

He wanted to hug Zhuo Ran into his arms, but he avoided him invisibly. He felt bored, so he stood aside with his hands behind his back, and Zhuo Ran didn't want to talk to him, the two were speechless for a while.

Although it was spring, there was still a slight chill in the wind. Zhuo Ran had just recovered from a serious illness, and after staying outside for so long, his whole body turned cold.

He couldn't help wrapping his arms around him, shivering coldly. Seeing this scene, Xuanyuanhen dragged him in with a livid face without saying a word, threw him forcefully on the bed and wrapped him tightly with the thick brocade quilt.

"I really don't understand what you think, that you don't care about your body so much."

"Who caused me to be like this?" Zhuo Ran looked at Xuanyuanhen from the corner of his eyes, neither warm nor cool, with reproach in his words, but endless indifference in his words.

"You—" Xuanyuanhen had never experienced such complete neglect, and the anger that had been pent up for a long time burst out instantly.

He broke Zhuo Ran's shoulders hard, covered his hot lips on the bloodless cold thin lips, biting repeatedly, as if determined to let that indifferent person fall with him.

Zhuo Ran clenched his teeth tightly, and his hands, which were weak due to the loss of internal energy, were desperately pushing Xuanyuanhen away, but he restrained him and locked him behind him.

The other hand sneaked into the skirt of his clothes, and pinched hard on the small brown protrusion on the left chest, causing Zhuo Ran to gasp in shock, but at this moment Xuanyuanhen stuck his tongue into the small brown protrusion that was slightly open because of surprise. Open a slit in the mouth.

"Uh...uh..." Zhuo Ran was gradually out of breath, and the feeling of suffocation in his chest made his whole body tense up.

However, Xuanyuanhen gradually became emotional, and his originally tough and rude movements gradually became gentle, with a hint of lust.

But when he finally pressed Zhuo Ran under him, he suddenly heard a few slightly embarrassing coughs from behind him.

Turning around to look, it was Ling Luo who was at a loss.

"Uh... Excuse me, you continue...continue..." He raised his legs and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned back as if thinking of something, "That... Your Majesty, he can't stand you now... that...you know Come on, I'm leaving."
