On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

"Zhao Peiqian, I want to leave the palace." Qin Zhan repeated.

In fact, Zhao Peiqian didn't need to be so nervous. At worst, he could just send someone to follow him. But the misunderstanding has not been resolved yet, and the relationship between the two is stalemate. He really doesn't want Qin Zhan to be too far away from him, so as not to cause another change.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Peiqian softened his voice, even pleading, "Go back in a few days, Ah Zhan, I will take you back in a few days."

Qin Zhan glanced at him coldly, without saying a word, turned back to the inner hall and fell asleep under the service of Qingzhu.

In the middle of the night, when he was half asleep and half awake, Qin Zhan suddenly felt some rustling noises in the hall. He was so sleepy that he didn't want to open his eyes, so he pushed Jia Mo beside him.

The white cat meowed and was pushed out of the bed, and happened to meet the person who was laying the floor on the floor. Jiamo was so frightened that his fur all over, he hurriedly crawled back to the bed along the bedposts.

Qin Zhan stretched out his arm in a daze and fished the white cat into his arms, 【Who is it? 】

[Zhao Peiqian. 】Jiamo's trembling ears leaned against Qin Zhan's chest again,【He doesn't know what happened, his eyes are bloodshot, and I was shocked just now. 】

[Leave him alone. 】Qin Zhan muttered, 【Go to sleep. 】

Jiamo whimpered, leaned on Qin Zhan's shoulder and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

When he woke up the next day, Zhao Peiqian was gone, and there was no trace of someone sleeping on the ground.As soon as Qin Zhan finished washing, the imperial physician came to help him remove the gauze from his face.The wound has already scabbed, so there is no need to wrap gauze. As long as you apply the medicine to remove the scar on time, the scar on your face will gradually fade and disappear within a month.

Qin Zhan asked Qingyan to send the imperial physician out, and threw the bottle of Shengji Binggu Gao to Qingzhu, "Throw it into the pool behind."

Qingzhu hesitated and did not move. The things that can be used by Qin Zhan must be extremely precious, and it would be too wasteful to just throw them away like this.Besides, if you don't apply this ointment, what should you do with the wound on Qin Zhan's face?

"Qingzhu," Qin Zhan frowned, "Why, don't you listen to me?"

"Of course not." Qingzhu quickly shook his head and denied, "You sit down first, I'll take it and throw it away." He came to the lotus pond with the ointment in his mouth, thought and thought, and put the ointment away, just looking for it A stone was thrown into the pool, and there was a thud.

After completing the task, Qingzhu hurried back to the palace, and saw piles of eunuchs and maids carrying things outside, everyone was busy, only Qin Zhan was leaning on the soft couch like an uncle, with a lazy posture.I couldn't help being taken aback, "My lord, this...?"

"Live in another place." Qin Zhan said lightly.

The space of Jasper Palace is not as large as that of Guilan Palace, but whether it is the layout or the repair, every detail is more exquisite and luxurious than that of Guilan Palace. Before Qin Zhan warmed up the chairs of Jasper Palace, there was another string of court ladies File in and bring piles of rewards.

All kinds of rare jade, precious calligraphy and paintings, and some exotic and interesting gadgets.Qin Zhan leaned on the soft couch dully. Although everything was priceless, he didn't have such a noble taste to appreciate it.

It wasn't until he caught sight of a calligraphy and painting of Wang Xizhi that Qin Zhan sat up slightly and called to the maid who was about to roll up the painting after the display.

"Is this the real work of Wang Xizhi?"

The court lady bowed and replied, "Yes, these calligraphy and paintings are authentic works of famous masters."

"Are there Wu Daozi's paintings?"

"There is a picture of the Golden Bridge."

Qin Zhan didn't know much when he heard this, so he waved his hands and said, "Put Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi's masterpieces in a box and send them to Concubine Wan." He had seen in the figure book that Concubine Wan came from a scholarly family. Quite researched.Rather than leaving it to him to chew peonies, it is better to give it to someone who knows how to appreciate it.

"Also, take the jade coral and the red sandalwood lacquer and cloisonné enamel copper ingot together."

The palace maid was slightly startled. It was probably the first time she saw someone handing over the emperor's reward to someone else. She looked at Qingyan standing behind Qin Zhan in bewilderment, and answered yes after getting affirmation. Something went out.

Seeing that Qin Zhan wanted to drink tea again, Qing Yan said, "Young Master Qin, it's time for lunch, don't drink too much tea yet."

Qin Zhan's head hurts from being shaken by a pile of gorgeous and shiny things. He wanted to eat and go to bed early, so he put down the teacup.

After lunch, Qingzhu went back to the bedroom to help Qin Zhan to sleep, while Qingyan went back to the outer hall to instruct the maids to tidy up the Jasper Palace.Qin Zhan moved in a hurry, the Jasper Palace was only able to accommodate people, and many decorations were still in a mess.

As soon as Qingyan finished tidying up the main hall, the emperor came over on her back. She hurriedly put down what she was doing and went up to greet her. She knelt down and saluted five steps away from Zhao Peiqian, "My servant Qingyan has seen Your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhao Peiqian looked around and lowered his voice, "Ah Zhan is resting?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin has already taken a nap, and Sister Qingzhu is here with you."

Zhao Peiqian frowned, "Has she been with you all this time?"

Qingyan replied, "Young Master Qin doesn't like servants to get close, only Sister Qingzhu is serving, and the other four maidservants and servants are guarding outside."

Zhao Peiqian pressed his temples. At this time, it is obviously not a problem to hold on to the green bamboo. After all, Qin Zhan doesn't even want to talk to him. What could be worse than this?

"Has Ah Zhan read all the things delivered in the morning? Does he like it?"

Qingyan's heart skipped a beat, and she carefully searched for euphemistic words, "Young Master Qin likes it very much, he personally picked some jade stones for his slaves to put in the palace, and then picked some things for Concubine Wan, Wang Xizhi "The Preface to the Collection of Orchid Pavilion" by Wu Daozi and "The Golden Bridge" by Wu Daozi, and—"

"Okay." Zhao Peiqian interrupted her impatiently, feeling even more bitter in his heart, Qin Zhan even paid attention to what Concubine Wan liked, "Ah Zhan...has he laughed?"

Qingyan complained in her heart, she could be fooled just now, but now that Zhao Peiqian asked so directly, what else could she say besides answering yes and no?

"Return to Your Majesty, no, no..." Qing Yan didn't dare to look at Zhao Peiqian's expression, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, trembling and begging for mercy, "Slave, slave is incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Peiqian closed his eyes wearily, "Forget it..."

Qingyan didn't dare to get up, just knelt on the ground.She came up with some ideas to save her life, but Qin Zhan's hobby is nothing more than playing the piano. Now is a special period, and he even destroyed his favorite iris, so how can he be expected to play the piano again?

Although Zhao Peiqian wasn't so absurd as King Zhou You, who would make fun of the feudal lords because of Bomei's smile, but in the past few days, there were a lot of pets and gifts. The treasury storing all kinds of treasures was turned upside down, but It still couldn't make the beauty show off, and surprised all the palace people who thought that Qin Zhan would lose his appearance after hurting his face.

Remembering that the imperial physician should come to remove the gauze this morning, Zhao Peiqian asked instead, "Qingyan, is Ah Zhan's injury better?"

Qingyan felt that she should just kneel and not get up in this life.

"Your Majesty, Sister Qingzhu has always helped the young master apply the medicine, but the servant girl saw that the injury on the young master's face has not improved at all, so it seems that she did not apply the medicine on time." She did not dare to say that Qin Zhan asked Qingzhu to throw away the ointment.

Zhao Peiqian sighed, didn't ask any more questions, just said, "I don't think Ah Zhan's appetite is very good these days, let the imperial dining room cook whatever he wants to eat, and prepare more pastries and snacks. Also, it's fast food now. It's summer, and the weather is getting hotter. I remember that there are still some extremely breathable and light Sichuan brocade and light gauze in the treasury. I asked the Garment Factory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a few more sets of clothes. The ones in the ice cellar The ice cubes should be delivered on time, Ah Zhan is afraid of the heat, so he needs to use more ice cubes and ice water to cool down..."

Qingyan listened to Zhao Peiqian being like an old woman for a long time, thinking that no matter who this kind of blessing falls to, it will be able to wake up from the dream with laughter.But when Qin Zhan woke up in the afternoon and saw Zhao Peiqian, there was still no smile on his face.

Qingyan sighed secretly, didn't dare to wait any longer, and retreated outside the hall with Qingzhu and the rest of the servants.

"Ah Zhan, are you awake?" Zhao Peiqian pushed the memorial aside, got up and sat down with Qin Zhan, and said softly, "Are you satisfied with the Jasper Palace?"

Qin Zhan rubbed Jiamo's face to refresh him, and said calmly, "It's pretty good."

Such a polite and perfunctory answer made Zhao Peiqian silent for a moment. Seeing the other party's cold and alienated expression, he raised his hand to caress Qin Zhan's side face, his slender fingers with well-articulated bones slid across the scar across his cheek.

"What's the matter, why don't you continue to apply the medicine?"

"That's not necessary." Qin Zhan said, lowering his head and scratching the white cat's chin. "I heard that Zhao Yu is coming back soon. It's good to keep the scar, so as not to confuse you."

This is the information provided by Jia Mo. Zhao Yu led the troops to repel the barbarians in the north. According to the usual practice, Zhao Peiqian will announce the reward for the generals to go to Beijing, and Zhao Yu will arrive in the palace in two days.

Qin Zhan intentionally wanted to make things difficult for Zhao Peiqian, but soon he got his retribution——Zhao Peiqian slammed him down on the couch like a big dog, and Jia Mo, who was caught between the two, was miserable. called out.

"Gamo-uh..."

Seeing Zhao Peiqian pressing Qin Zhan to kiss and bite like a wild beast, the master was too busy to take care of himself, and Jiamo had to rely on himself, jumping from the crack to the ground with difficulty.

Qin Zhan's lips were so red and swollen from being bitten, he really admired Zhao Peiqian for being able to kiss that centipede-like scar—personally speaking, Qin Zhan didn't like having too much area on his face. Man with big scar.

"Ah Zhan..." Zhao Peiqian propped up the soft couch and stood up slightly. He tilted his head, and his hot breath hit the side of Qin Zhan's face, "You two are not the same at all... completely different... Azhan, I love You, even in front of the emperor, I dare to say that. As long as you believe me, as long as—"

"Get up first." Qin Zhan frowned and interrupted Zhao Peiqian, pushing his shoulder, "It's still daytime, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Peiqian smiled, and rubbed his face affectionately, his voice was low and magnetic, "Ah Zhan, I don't want to do anything, if possible, I hope you can do something to me." He untied Qin Zhan's belt , gently kissing and sucking the side of his neck.

"Zhao Peiqian, if I agree to your conditions, then you should agree to me."

Unexpectedly, he was not rejected, but in the next second, Zhao Peiqian was struck by lightning when he said these indifferent and hurtful words. He raised his head in a daze, and met Qin Zhan's eyes. The other party looked at him, saying every word Authentically, "Zhao Peiqian, I want to go home."

Both of them were half undressed, but Zhao Peiqian felt that the heat on his body was fading little by little, until the cold completely entered the bone marrow and spread to the deepest part of his body.

"Ah Zhan, this is your home." Zhao Peiqian said tremblingly. All the calmness and composure he had pretended before collapsed at this moment, and anxiety and apprehension seized his mind instantly. "This is your home." Home... Ah Zhan, where are you going?"

Qin Zhan frowned, roughly tore off Zhao Peiqian's dragon robe, turned over and pressed the man under him, and forcefully separated his legs and squeezed in.Zhao Peiqian hardly knew whether to cater or reject. This was not what he wanted, but it was also what he was looking forward to to be able to get close to Qin Zhan.

Even in such an unbearable way.

But soon someone made a decision for Zhao Peiqian, just when Qin Zhan was about to get to the point, Qing Yan knocked on the door outside, "Your Majesty, Mr. Qin, Concubine Wan is here, thank you for your gift, And brought a gift in return." Knowing that the emperor was also inside, Qing Yan purposely explained it clearly.

Qin Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and didn't continue. He sat up and straightened his clothes, saying, "Let her go to the main hall first, and I'll be there in a while."

The ancient clothes are very complicated. Qin Zhan struggled for a long time and failed to fix them. Just as he was about to call Qingzhu in, Zhao Peiqian stood up, walked to him and helped him straighten his collar, and flattened it in a decent manner. He folded it, and then squatted down to help him tie his belt, then straightened the crooked jade pendant, and tied it a little tighter.

Zhao Peiqian looked like a good wife and loving mother. Finally, he straightened up and said in a low voice, "Go."

When Qin Zhan walked to the door, he heard a word behind him, "Ah Zhan, I'll take you back after court tomorrow morning."

Qin Zhan kept pushing the door open and walked out, as if he had never heard of it.

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

The next day, Qin Zhan finally returned to Hongxiu Pavilion as he wished, and Zhao Peiqian didn't stay much - because of Qin Qian, he couldn't even enter the door.

Both Qin Qian and Xie Xun were busy with business and had no time to stay, so they asked Xie Zhiyun to accompany Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan stopped playing the piano, and Xie Zhiyun imitated him and sat in front of the guqin, pulling the strings jerkyly, jumping out one by one, forming an intermittent piece of music.

The funny appearance of this beginner made Qin Zhan laugh, "Xie Zhiyun, if you don't know how to play, don't play it, don't torture my ears."

The long-lost smile and voice made Xie Zhiyun slightly relieved. He pretended to smile relaxedly, "Then you play a song. I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much."

Xie Zhiyun knew the whole story and the reason why Qin Zhan ruined the Yuanweiqin and didn't want to touch it again, but it was because of this that he was even more worried.Xie Zhiyun would rather Qin Zhan show his anger and sadness than to bury his heart deeply, but still have a calm face on his face.

"No." Qin Zhan shook his head with a smile, gently stroking Jiamo's back, "I don't want to play."

Xie Zhiyun sat next to Qin Zhan to tease the cat with him, and asked nonchalantly, "Ah Zhan, how long will you stay when you come back this time, and when will you leave?" Of course he didn't want Qin Zhan to go back to that place again, but Zhao Pei Qian's identity made him have to think about this issue.

"I don't know." Qin Zhan said, "It should be a few days. He has no patience, and I won't stay too long." Both of them knew who this 'he' was referring to.

Xie Zhiyun frowned, seeing his expression of indifference, felt inexplicably annoyed in his heart, and blurted out, "You might as well not go back, just live here, how comfortable you are."

Qin Zhan squinted at him, his eyes were bright and clear, with a smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" He asked with a smile.

Xie Zhiyun lowered his head in frustration.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Xie Zhiyun was depressed abnormally, Qin Zhan couldn't help asking, "I haven't said anything, but your reaction is bigger than mine." Before Xie Zhiyun could answer, he said, "The palace is very good. , Zhao Peiqian is also very kind to me."

Xie Zhiyun's eyes widened, "How can you trust him? He——" Xie Zhiyun couldn't continue, those words that embarrassed Qin Zhan, those words that made him give his heart but were fooled like a fool, Xie Zhiyun didn't even want to think about it to think about.

He suddenly leaned over and hugged Qin Zhan.

"Zhiyun?"

"He is an asshole." Xie Zhiyun said, "If you leave my sister-in-law and me and go back to that place, then you are an asshole too."

Qin Zhan smiled and hugged his back, "Yes, Zhao Peiqian is a bastard, but he is also the emperor."

They can't escape, there are so many girls in the pavilion, Qin Qian has been in business for so long, and he has long regarded them as partners, how can he be willing to abandon them?Besides, even if they decide to leave, Qin Zhan will find a way to stop them. The two side missions have not been completed yet, how can he leave?

Although it was true that he was freer after returning, and there was no frightening guard of honor and ostentation, Qin Zhan didn't think it might be better to go back to the palace until the evening.

"Sister...don't, wait..."

He was forced to eat a lot of supplements and stewed soup for dinner. When he was about to sleep, Qin Qian and Xie Zhiyun suddenly rushed in, pressed him on the bed and covered his face with ointment without any explanation.

"Sister!" Qin Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing?"

"My Qin Qian's younger brother should be a straight-forward person, why the hell are you pretending to be miserable!" Qin Qian cursed and applied medicine to him, "What kind of heart is the dog emperor, just letting you play your temper like this?! Look at this In just a few days, I lost so much weight!"

Qin Zhan: "..."

He said helplessly, "I don't really want to see him, and he... doesn't want to make me angry, so..."

Qin Qian squinted her eyes and asked an irrelevant question, "Do you still sleep together?"

Qin Zhan hesitated for a moment, "Well...I sleep on the bed, he...in the middle of the night, he will come in by himself and sleep on the floor."

"Yo." Qin Qian lifted his chin with a teasing smile, "The charm of a beauty is not diminished."

Although oppressed by the imperial power, Qin Qian will not run away. Zhao Peiqian dares to treat her precious brother like this, no matter what, he has to get revenge.From the looks of it now, there seems to be some affection between them...?Qin Qian knew the news that Zhao Yu was going back to Beijing, and the rightful owner had returned. If Zhao Peiqian really didn't love Qin Zhan, there was no need to keep him.I heard from Qingzhu that Zhao Peiqian has been possessed by King Zhou You these days, and he has racked his brains because of Bomei’s smile. The entire treasury was almost emptied, but it still didn’t have much effect, and he was still rejected. outside.

Qin Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sister..."

"Okay, okay." Qin Qian stroked his hair with a smile, and pulled the quilt for him, "Sleep peacefully, I won't call you when you wake up late tomorrow."

Walking out of the bedroom with Xie Zhiyun, Qin Qian walked back and asked, "Zhiyun, what did you talk about this afternoon?"

Xie Zhiyun said: "It's nothing, it's just some small things."

Qin Qian asked, "You stayed with him all afternoon? Two people?"

Xie Zhiyun nodded.

Qin Qian stopped in her tracks, Xie Zhiyun didn't know why, so she also stopped, "Sister-in-law?"

"Little Yunzi." Qin Qian turned her head and looked at him with a half-smile, "You weren't as patient as before, were you?"

Qin Qian seemed to have noticed something, Xie Zhiyun blushed, and stammered, "Ah, Ah Zhan is a friend, it's okay to stay with him for a while!"

Qin Qian was noncommittal, but said, "Little Yunzi, you should know that Zhao Peiqian is the emperor."

Hearing this sentence again and again, Xie Zhiyun was a little annoyed, "So what?!"

"He is the emperor, and he likes Ah Zhan. Or...he loves Ah Zhan."

Xie Zhiyun looked at her with an expression of 'you're joking', and Qin smiled, "What's the matter? Your sister-in-law has always been right with my intuition, and besides, I have authority in this regard. Zhao Peiqian's expression in the morning Ha, it's exactly the same as his own father."

It's not that I don't love, it's just that I love too deeply and is restricted by various objective factors, so I can't express it, and I can't express it.

She and the first emperor loved each other deeply, but they were also tortured by this love.Fortunately, she met Xie Xun and got redemption, but he was alone and died with resentment and pain.

Whether Zhao Peiqian and Qin Zhan will end like this, Qin Qian doesn't know. From a selfish point of view, she hopes that Zhao Peiqian can learn a lesson, but it's just a lesson, not an ending like his father. .

She was able to get out of the shadows so quickly because of Xie Xun, but Qin Zhan may not be as lucky as her. Qin Qian does not want Qin Zhan to repeat the same mistakes and follow in her footsteps.

Xie Zhiyun silently looked at the room where Qin Zhan was, and let out a barely audible sigh.
