On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

Eunuch De overestimated the emperor's patience, and He Shen couldn't wait for three days, so he sent someone to the general's mansion to pick Qin Zhan into the palace the next day after the reward was delivered.

Eunuch De accompanied him with a smile, saying that the emperor couldn't bear Qin Zhan's suffering in the past, and wanted to take him into the palace to rest and recuperate. Then, he also euphemistically expressed He Shen's guilt—of course, it was only for Qin Zhan alone, and there was no Qin family at all. What's up.

Qin Chao's face was ugly. This choice, which was no different from selling a girl for glory, made him feel humiliated, and at the same time hated his own incompetence.In vain he prided himself on being brave, but at a critical moment, he couldn't even protect his own younger brother.

Qin Zhan was silent for a while, and then said, "I wonder if father-in-law can wait in the outer hall for a while, Rong Huai and elder brother have something to say."

"It's natural, third son, you can do whatever you want." Eunuch De bent over.

Qin Zhan smiled, and led Qin Chao to the study.

Ten minutes later, the two came out together, Qin Chao's face was as deep as water.

When they returned to the outer hall again, Bai Mo also came out.Qin Zhan was startled, and quickly walked forward, "Why don't you take a longer rest?"

Bai Mo felt a little uneasy since the things were delivered from the palace yesterday, Qin Zhan couldn't do anything to smooth his hair, until he was entangled by Bai Mo and rolled on the bed for most of the night last night, the situation improved.However, Bai Mo indulged for two consecutive days, and it was his first taste of the forbidden fruit. Even with martial arts, he still couldn't bear it. When he got up in the morning, Qin Zhan helped him put medicine on his back, and originally wanted him to lie down for a while.

Bai Mo pursed his lips, trying not to show any panic, "Linglong——Linglong said, you want to enter the palace?" He looked at Father-in-law De and his party standing at the door, his eyes became even colder.

"...Well." Qin Zhan responded in a low voice, "Bai Mo, I will find a way to deal with this matter. In the next few days, you...you must pay more attention to safety, and discuss with your elder brother if you have anything to do, don't act recklessly .”

Bai Mo was completely panicked, even if he had no brains, he knew that it would not be so easy for Qin Zhan to go in and come out again. What's more, there was a He Shen in the palace watching over him.

"Rong Huai..." Bai Mo grabbed his hand, but didn't know what to say.Even if he can take Qin Zhan away from the place of right and wrong, that also means that Rong Huai will give up this family.Now that they have just reunited, how can Bai Mo have the heart to let Qin Zhan lose his affection again?

"Trust me, it will be fine." Qin Zhan squeezed his hand hard, his dark eyes were as warm as jade, as peaceful and peaceful as a snow-capped Tianchi Lake, "Bai Mo, wait for me at home." He said softly.

Bai Mo closed his eyes, reached out and pulled Qin Zhan into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

After a while, he struggled to utter a word, "Okay."

Rong Huai, I'll wait for you to go home.

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

On the way back to the palace, Eunuch De has spared no effort to help the emperor increase his favorability. In order to see him back as soon as possible, He Shen even canceled the morning court today and waited here early in the morning.

He made a few perfunctory remarks, Linglong bowed her head and followed behind Qin Zhan. Although there were four guards from the Qin family accompanying her this time, she was still very worried.

Stepping into the Chonghua Palace, the eunuchs and maids standing neatly on both sides knelt down to pay their respects when they saw him come in.He Shen sat on the main seat, and in front of him was a teacup that was no longer steaming. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

"Get the hell out of here." He Shen impatiently waved his hand and retreated, walking towards Qin Zhan in three steps at a time.

The well-trained court ladies and eunuchs quietly withdrew like a tide, but Linglong remained. She looked up at Qin Zhan, "Third Young Master——"

"Linglong, let's go to the side hall to rest first, and I'll ask the imperial dining room to bring you some food later." Qin Zhan said softly.He Shen frowned in dissatisfaction. He hadn't seen Ah Zhan for several months, and Qin Zhan never gave him a good face on the way back to Beijing from the mountain. Now he is so gentle to a little girl, which is really annoying.

Jealousy and gloom grew wildly in his heart, and He Shen's eyes on Linglong became more and more sinister.

Linglong was afraid that the emperor would embarrass Qin Zhan because of herself, so she bowed and retreated.

The door of the temple is closed.

Qin Zhan walked past He Shen indifferently, took off the fox fur and put it beside him.

In an instant, the emperor, who had been delighted by Qin Zhan's return, soon stopped laughing.

He Shen pulled Qin Zhan almost rudely, and caressed his neck in disbelief. Qin Zhan frowned and turned his head to avoid it, but He Shen became more angry and tore open his robe vigorously— — Neck, collarbone, even shoulders, there are traces of love everywhere.

"——Qin Zhan!!!" He Shen almost roared, his hands clenched into fists kept trembling, his eyes were red, and his roar was like the mournful cry of a betrayed wolf in the snow.

Qin Zhan remained silent, allowing He Shen to press him on the table.

Ha, it's just that... the pain is unbearable?

"You let him touch you..." He Shen grabbed his clothes, staring at the mottled red marks in front of him, "Ah Zhan... you... Bai Mo... that lowly martial artist, what right does he have to touch?" You!" His voice couldn't hide his anger, but it was filled with sadness.

He Shen knew that without Qin Zhan's consent, Bai Mo might not even be able to touch this kind of thing.

Qin Zhan lowered his eyes, "I told you—" Before he could finish speaking, He Shen lowered his head and bit the side of his neck, covering the hickey mark left by Bai Mo, with such force that he seemed to want to kill the flesh Like tearing it off.

It hurt so much, Qin Zhan shuddered slightly, and took a light breath.

He Shen felt his slightly arched back, and the thin and long body of his subordinates. He suddenly remembered that Qin Zhan's physique was not in good shape, so he quickly let go.

He saw Qin Zhan pursing his lips forbearance, his thick and slender eyelashes trembling, casting a shadow on his pale jade face.

"Ah Zhan...I——I'm sorry..." He Shen hugged him in a panic, Qin Zhan's clothes were half-removed, and along with the hickey marks, there were various scars left by the torture. Like a knife cut, I felt remorse and pain in my heart, but I couldn't bear the jealousy.

He didn't want to admit his mistakes, but felt guilty and uneasy when he dreamed in the middle of the night, and woke up several times in nightmares, covered in cold sweat.

At the beginning, it was He Shen who insisted on going his own way and paranoidly used methods to keep Qin Zhan, so he dragged the gentle and elegant third son, who was well-known in Beijing, into the secular world. The third son suffered from prison and bereavement.

All the misfortunes that Rong Huai suffered, all the big and small wounds on his body, were all caused by him.

Qin Zhan greeted the eighteenth generation of He Shen's ancestors in his heart. If the system hadn't given a special reminder, he would almost have guessed whether the ancient plane was about to mutate into a zombie apocalypse.

"Does it hurt? Ah Zhan... I'm sorry, I don't... Ah Zhan, I didn't mean to..." He Shen said sorry incoherently. He was angry, but no matter what, how could he be willing to vent his anger? Sprinkle on Qin Zhan?It was agreed not to hurt him anymore, and to protect him, He Shen told himself over and over again that it was hard to bring him back, to be able to get rid of the dream, and to really hold him in his arms again. Make no more mistakes.

"Zhen, I, Ah Zhan, I will give you medicine—"

"No need." Qin Zhan pushed him away and stood up, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, his expression indifferent.

He Shen was pushed so that he staggered and sat on the ground, looking up at him bewilderedly.

"Azhan..."

Qin Zhan touched his neck, it was wet and slippery, but it was still bleeding.

This pervert!

The throbbing pain from the wound made him even more annoyed, Qin Zhan could not help imagining the appearance of a crumbling piece of flesh, and couldn't help shivering.

He Shen thought that he was in severe pain, and anxiously wanted to say something more, but Qin Zhan no longer paid attention to him, turned around and walked to the side hall.

He Shen was left alone sitting on the ground alone. The emperor wearing a luxurious dragon robe was so lost at this time that the child who was kicked out of the house was abandoned by everyone in a dark corner. Nobody cares.

In the side hall, Linglong was waiting anxiously, her eyes lit up when she saw Qin Zhan, but she almost didn't cry the next second, "Master, why are you..."

Qin Zhan rubbed her hair soothingly, "Is there any medicine?"

Linglong responded with red eyes, crying, but didn't dare to neglect to go to the cabinet to get the ointment.Qin Zhan took the time to look sideways at the bronze mirror, and then he was relieved. The meat was still there, but there was an extra blood tooth mark.

Jia Mo snickered, [He Shen probably thinks you are a Tang monk. 】

Qin Zhan ignored him, tilted his head and asked Linglong to help him apply the medicine.The little girl was sad and worried, but she didn't know what to do. She wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry for fear of making Qin Zhan feel even more uncomfortable, so she bit her lower lip to hold back the tears that kept filling her eyes.

Qin Zhan raised his head with feeling, and was facing Linglong's bright red almond eyes, which seemed to be more aggrieved and sad than his rightful owner.

He couldn't help laughing, Linglong suddenly became anxious, "What time is this, young master is still laughing!"

"Otherwise, what can we do?" Qin Zhan shook his head helplessly, and comforted Linglong with his good qualities of pity and pity, "Okay, wipe away your tears, if you keep crying, Wei Feng will hate me to death." He joked.Wei Feng is the bodyguard of the Qin residence, and one of the people who came to protect him this time. He has liked Linglong for many years. Madam Qin originally planned to betroth Linglong to him after the Chinese New Year, but unexpectedly, something like this happened.

"Third Young Master!" Linglong glared at him angrily, her brows were filled with the shyness of a little girl.

Outside the gate of the palace, He Shen stood quietly, the white porcelain bottle containing Yujilu in his hand was crushed, he clutched the bottle hard, and the sharp shards sank deeply into his palm.

Qin Zhan and Linglong chatted for a while to pass the time. Seeing that it was still early, he didn't want to be bored in the room, so he changed into a coat with a stand-up collar to cover the teeth marks, and planned to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Although the imperial garden has the word garden, it is so big that it is frightening. After walking for a while, Qin Zhan was tired and was looking for a place to sit down and rest. He had just walked across the arch bridge when he bumped into one of He Shen's concubines.

However, this little wife is a bit special, her name is Xu Wanyue, she is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and because of her father's friendship with Qin Lin, she often walks around the General's Mansion.When she was a teenager, it was the age when her love first started. Xu Wanyue fell in love with the third son of the Qin family. On the second day when she insisted on her father's door-to-door marriage proposal, the Minister of Rites didn't even take a step out of the door. The imperial decree was knocked out.

Therefore, Xu Guanyue entered the palace to be concubine and bestowed the title of Yue. Before the third prince realized something was wrong, He Shen had already killed his love rival in the cradle.

Although the killing method of taking a rival as a concubine is a bit weird.

After Xu Guanyue entered the palace, He Shen did not hide his thoughts about Qin Zhan from her. One night, Xu Guanyue broke into Chongyuan Pavilion by accident, and saw countless paintings about the third son hanging in it, densely packed everywhere , she was so scared that she accidentally called out to attract the guards.When He Shen found out, he didn't say anything unexpectedly, but just glanced at her lightly, with the tails of his eyes raised, with a little complacency and sarcasm.

In Xu Wanyue's mind, the third son was a male god, so how could He Shen spoil and insult him like this?From then on, he began to hate He Shen, especially after Qin's family had an accident and Qin Zhan was imprisoned.

Seeing her long-lost sweetheart now, Xu Wanyue couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't maintain her haughty mask any longer.After spending many years in this deep palace, not only did she not change her mind, but the complicated court made Xu Wanyue miss the gentleness and kindness of the third son even more.

"Third brother!" Xu Wanyue couldn't help but shouted, and walked towards Qin Zhan eagerly like a young girl meeting her lover.

Qin Zhan looked at her pretending to be a little surprised, while complaining in his heart why He Shen had such a good life, and the younger wives were more beautiful than the other.

Not far away, Xu Guanyue was dressed in a red palace dress, full of grace and elegance. The large peonies embroidered with silver silk thread proudly bloomed on the thin Xiaying gauze corset, showing her plump figure even more. , The one-neck design reveals the shoulders and collarbone with beautiful lines, the skin is like fat, and the shoulders are like shaved.Such a beauty, I'm afraid no straight man can hold her back.

"Yue'er." Qin Zhan called out with a smile, paused, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and then changed his words, "Moon Concubine Empress."

Xu Guanyue was dissatisfied with his alienation, and said coquettishly, "Why is the third brother so born? Do you think Yue'er is a younger sister?" The eyes are full of tenderness, the girl's charming voice is clear and melodious, and her fair face is beautiful. Fang Wu, Qin Zhan coughed unnaturally, and felt that he seemed to have vague signs of being straightened.

"Yue'er, you are now in the palace, you should pay more attention on weekdays, so as not to be taken advantage of by those who want to." Qin Zhan said, it sounded like reprimand, but his voice was full of concern.

Xu Guanyue didn't care, the whole harem consisted of one empress, one concubine, two concubines and two beauties. Now that the empress was abolished, the harem became even more deserted.After so long, the others have more or less seen that the emperor's thoughts are not on any of them at all, so they can't even try to fight for favor.

"Third brother, it's been so long since we met, you know how to teach me a lesson." Xu Guanyue complained coquettishly.

Qin Zhan chuckled, he could tell that Xu Wanyue was far from being so innocent and naive as she appeared on the surface, but she was not malicious either.He and Xu Guanyue walked side by side under the shade of the tree. The concubine Yue had a brisk voice, chirping like a lark.But although Xu Wanyue talked a lot, she cleverly avoided the sensitive topic about He Shen. It can be seen that she knew a lot about the matter between He Shen and Qin Zhan.

Xu Guanyue saw that Qin Zhan's mood seemed to improve, and her smile gradually brightened. She was a little happy in her heart, and was about to say a few more interesting things, but the bright yellow color she saw at the end of her eyes made her change her mind.

A gust of wind blew by, the leaves swayed and rustled, Xu Guanyue rolled her eyes, thinking about it.

"Ah——!" She screamed suddenly, and hurriedly wanted to back away, but accidentally twisted her foot and fell into Qin Zhan's arms, "Third brother!! There are bugs!!!" Xu Guanyue pointed at her skirt enduring the pain Shaking, trembling while holding Qin Zhan, buried his face in his arms and dared not lift it.

"Insects?" Qin Zhan looked over suspiciously. He didn't see any insects, just a dry and curly leaf.He patted Xu Guanyue's shoulder funny, "Where did the bug come from? It's just a leaf." As he said that, he was about to squat down to help her sweep away, when Xu Guanyue let out a soft cry and held Qin Zhan's shoulder, " Three, third brother, I seem to have sprained my ankle, it hurts..."

Qin Zhan inexplicably accepted the beauty's embrace, and before he could figure out a countermeasure, a low growl mixed with jealousy and rage came over, "Xu Wanyue!"

He Shen strode forward with a gloomy face, his already stern face was full of hostility, "As a concubine in the harem, how is it proper to flirt with other men in the imperial garden?! Haven't you learned the three obediences and four virtues? Is this how Xu Shangshu taught you to seduce men?!" He was so angry at the scene just now, his chest was filled with anger, and he couldn't vomit.

Xu Wanyue's face turned pale with shock, as if she was extremely afraid of He Shen, she ignored the stinging pain in her ankle, and hurriedly saluted, "Concubine, concubine see Your Majesty." She lowered her head halfway, eyes Tears quickly flowed down, and she looked pitiful, "Your Majesty, this concubine is just reminiscing about the old days with the third son, and has no personal relationship. I hope your Majesty will learn from you." Xu Wanyue explained in a panic, with pear blossoms on her beautiful face. , so unattractive.

Therefore, in terms of emotions, women are always more sensitive and capable than men.Xu Wanyue knew how to better avenge the emperor for causing him pain, but she made He Shen dumb and ate Coptis chinensis. She couldn't explain her suffering, and couldn't even explain it.

The harem has not spent the past few years in vain. Xu Wanyue's acting skills have long been honed to perfection, and it is impossible to grasp it.Besides, apart from his prominent family background, he and the Qin family have a deep friendship, so Qin Zhan will definitely protect her younger sister no matter what happens.If He Shen really punished her for accidentally "falling" and helping Qin Zhan this time, then the emperor would inevitably leave a bad impression of narrow-mindedness, nostalgia for old love, and making a fuss over a molehill, and Qin Zhan would definitely be even more dissatisfied.

He Shen was worrying about his relationship right now, so how could he argue with Qin Zhan over such a trivial matter?

Although the approach was a little risky, Xu Wanyue had the upper hand this time. No matter how angry He Shen was, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow his blood.

"Your Majesty." Qin Zhan frowned. He didn't know what Xu Wanyue wanted to do, but it didn't prevent him from acting with the little girl to make He Shen more difficult. Why do you have to say it so harshly?"

"I—" He Shen was dumbfounded. He hadn't been with Qin Zhan when he married Xu Wanyue, and the other party didn't know about it.What's more, even if he told the truth, would Qin Zhan believe it?

He protects Bai Qi and Bai Mo but rejects him again and again, can talk and laugh happily with a maid but refuses to show half a smile to him, even at this time, Qin Zhan treats him coldly for the sake of other women.

Qin Zhan cared about so many people, protected so many people, and smiled at so many people, but he refused to forgive him, and refused to give him even a little warmth.

He Shen struggled to draw air in order to maintain that ridiculous imperial majesty, his heart was full of anger, but he had to watch Qin Zhan help Xu Wanyue up, and after carefully exhorting and caring, Linglong and another maid helped her back to the palace to rest.

"A Zhan..." He Shen whispered, the pain in his heart seemed to split him in half.He looked up at Qin Zhan, grabbing his hand like a drowning man trying to grab the last piece of driftwood. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhan didn't dodge.

He Shen didn't dare to breathe, his eyes widened as if flattered, and he carefully hugged Qin Zhan's waist and hugged him.

No response, but no rejection either.He Shen closed his eyes and hugged him even tighter.He was not in a hurry to let Qin Zhan accept him immediately. As an emperor, the least thing he lacked was patience.

Feeling the familiar fragrance lingering all over his body, He Shen couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, never thought that he would be so worthless, just a submissive hug could satisfy him so much that he wished he could cheer regardless of his image.

Qin Zhan reckoned that He Shen's mental activity should take a turn, so he lowered his eyes and calmly made up the final cut, "Ying——Ying Qing, Yue'er is simple and straightforward, she is just a child, and has nothing else to say. Attempt. You..." He hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Ying Qing, don't deal with her."

He Shen's heart sank, and the mood that was full of joy just now fell to the bottom in an instant.

——————————— Small Theater (2)————————

One day, Qin Zhan asked a neighbor to borrow children's literacy cards and put them on the ground one by one, trying to name Zhe'er and Satsuma by drawing lots.

Zhe Er Miao walked around in an elegant catwalk, walked straight towards the card with an arch bridge in the middle without much hesitation, and squatted down.

On the contrary, Samo walked for a long time tangled, as if he didn't see what he liked, and finally had to reluctantly sit down next to a card with a picture of a clear stream.

Qin Zhan turned over the two cards to see the words on the back. Zhe Er Miao's card said Arch Bridge, and Samoyed wrote the word "Xiaoxi".

"Okay, Zhe'er can be called Xiaoqiao." Qin Zhan happily patted Zhe'er's head, in exchange for a soft meow from the kitten.

Summer glanced at Zhe Er sadly, and his ears drooped down in frustration.

"It's weird for Xiaoxi to be so big..." Qin Zhan rubbed his chin and thought, "And you seem to be a boy?" He said, turning Satsuma upside down, revealing the fluffy white belly .

Usually cats prefer to be rubbed on their belly, but the strange thing is that Samoyed didn't resist, just waved his limbs shyly, and then flattened on the ground calmly.The Samoyed, who fully exposed the little bird, looked up at Qin Zhan, purred as if he was happy, turned his head and shyly rubbed against his thigh, like a new daughter-in-law.

Qin Zhan: "..."

Ear folding: "...╰_╯"

Qin Zhan raised his forehead, "Forget it, let's call Xiao Sa directly."
