Purple must

The next day, when the sky was dim, the eunuchs got up noisy around them.

"Amao, where are my pants?" The little eunuch who forced him to sleep next night knelt beside Feng Qi with his bare buttocks last night, groping around and asking.

Feng Qi felt chills, his hands and feet were swollen badly, and he was falling asleep; when he woke him up, he reached out to grope for him, found a pair of dirty pants from behind the pillow, and pulled them out for him.

"So it's here!" the little eunuch said happily.

Feng Qi thought to himself, I saw you littering the place last night, but I couldn't find it this morning, you are such a confused boy.

He turned over to sleep, but the little eunuch pushed him again, "Amao, why are you still sleeping? It's time to get up and work, otherwise Eunuch Yan will beat him!"

Feng Qi braced himself a few times, but his hands softened and he fell back on the bed.He sighed and waved his hand at the little eunuch.

"You let me go first? No, Eunuch Yan is very skilled. If you don't go, he will be whipped!" The little eunuch said very loyally.He reached out to touch Feng Qi's forehead, but Feng Qi's face was locked by the copper mask, so he had to touch his neck instead.

"Hey, cat, you have a fever!" he cried.

Feng Qi nodded and pointed to his hands and feet.The little eunuch lifted the quilt to take a look, only to find that his wrists and ankles were all swollen, and it hurt just looking at it.

At this time, there were two "bang bang" sounds at the door, and an old eunuch stood at the door and knocked hard on the door twice with the tail of his dust whisk.

"Eunuch Yan! Why are you here, old man?" The little eunuch was startled, and jumped to the ground with a flattering smile.

Yan Wei didn't even look at him, he stared at Feng Qi and said, "How long are you going to sleep?" The old eunuch hated this crippled plague god very much, and he didn't know who he was, so three groups of people came to explain to him thing.The old eunuch didn't dare to offend anyone, so he definitely couldn't do without torturing the bronze-masked man, but when it comes to punishment, it is very restrictive.

Feng Qi sat up and gestured with his hands.

The little eunuch at the side saw that he couldn't speak, and was very pitiful, so he bravely explained to Yan Wei: "Amao said that he has just got his tendons in his hands and feet, and if he does heavy work without resting for a few days, he will be disabled."

"And... Ah Mao caught the wind and cold..."

"In my place, it's a rule that you don't have to work whenever you're sick!" Yan Wei stared at Feng Qi, but whipped the whisk at the little eunuch.The little eunuch was so whipped that he screamed.

Feng Qi climbed out of bed, put his arms around the little eunuch, and raised his hand to block him.

The whisk bounced off his arm, and the old eunuch turned pale with anger.Feng Qi straightened up, gesturing with his hands to go to work.After speaking, he took the little eunuch out.

If Lu Changqing insisted on getting rid of his hands and feet, then he could do as he wished.Feng Qi was slightly annoyed.

The little eunuch looked at his funny copper mask and smiled: "Amao, you are very courageous."

Feng Qi pointed to his heart and waved his hand.

"Are you still timid? Who among us dares to offend Eunuch Yan!" The little eunuch was apprehensive at first, but for some reason, being with this man made him feel relieved.

After hearing what he said, Feng Qi covered his mouth with his hands, and hugged his shoulders to make a trembling look.

The little eunuch was amused by him, "Amao, are you afraid now?"

Although he couldn't see Ah Mao's expression clearly, the little eunuch felt that he must be smiling at the moment.I don't know who actually locked his face with a copper mask, unable to speak or express, deliberately cutting off a person's way of communicating with the outside world. No matter what crimes this person has committed, the little eunuch feels that this is really a crime. cruel thing.

The highest point of the entire Wangcheng is the Star Watching Pavilion on the Wangshu Terrace.Wangshu Terrace was originally built by the king to please the concubines in the harem, thinking that it was for fun.Later, the national teacher believed that this platform was the highest point of the royal city, so he insisted on changing it to a star-gazing place. The king received a lot of favors from the national teacher, so he had to demolish the Qiongge Yuchi and built a star-gazing pavilion for the national teacher.

Lu Changqing and Jinghou Fengyun sat in the star-gazing pavilion drinking tea and listening to music, Dazai Shen Shutong, generals Huang Sheng and Hong Peng sat on the left and right.The one who played the piano was a beauty specially selected by Dazai for Jinghou.The world has always known that Jinghou loves the posture of a weak willow in the wind, and that beauty is really chosen to be as slender as a willow, with sorrow in her autumn water.

Lu Changqing fought for several years, and the princes of the world heard Qin's name and their hearts were broken.However, there are also those who do not follow, such as Zhu Guo, who privately left behind the son of the co-king, Xu.In the name of the son Xu, he counterattacked Haojing and wished the country a strong army, which should not be underestimated.That's why Lu Changqing intended to win over Jinghou, to do what he liked, and first sent a beauty to show his sincerity.

Beside the beauty was a little boy, who was also carved in pink and jade, and played the flute to the sound of the piano, crisp and melodious.

When Feng Qi heard the sound of the flute, he couldn't help but put down the big basket filled with soil and listened carefully.

The little eunuch walked past him, nudged him and asked, "Mao, can't lift it anymore? You put some soil in my basket, before Eunuch Yan doesn't see it, hurry up!"

Feng Qi still listened carefully to the sound of the flute.

"Amao?" The little eunuch pushed him with his knee.

Feng Qi shook his head at him, picked up the big basket filled with soil again, and walked towards the broken walls of Weiyang Palace.

Lu Changqing listened to the music, but couldn't help turning his eyes to the ruins of Weiyang Palace not far away.There was a man with a copper mask who was buried in carrying bricks and soil.

Lu Changqing's impression of him has always been in the time when he was dressed in fine clothes and domineering, and he has never seen him in a disheveled state.Lu Changqing still remembers the first meeting on the Vermilion Bridge in the clear water more than ten years ago. The man had just danced the sacrificial dance for the king. , a head of black hair hanging behind her back, and golden residual makeup hung on the tip of her slender eyes.That day was a bright spring day with shimmering waves, and the man rushed into his eyes like a colorful phoenix.

At that time, Qing Kingdom was just an unknown small country with a fiefdom of the opposite sex, and no one knew the second son of Marquis Qing.With a smile in his eyes, the man asked softly, "Are you a child of that family, are you lost?"

When Lu Changqing recalled this, his whole heart ached.

Feng Qi took his hand and walked along the zigzag bridge full of bright sunshine.The snow-white pear blossoms drifted in the wind, and the fragrance of the powder on Feng Qi's body made him feel like a dream.

She was deceived by his beauty and gentleness at the beginning, and it took many years to see through his cold and cold heart.

However, the beautiful delusion of that day can never be driven away from the bottom of my heart. Only by covering his face with an ugly mask and stopping his gentle words with the command of silence, can I forget all this.

When he came back to his senses, the song was over, and Dazai and Jinghou were talking about beauties.

"Everyone in the world says that Jinghou is lustful, but in fact they misunderstood me," Jinghou Fengyun said with a graceful smile, "everyone has a desire for beauty, and I like beautiful things just like the world, but some people like them but don't tell them. And I will openly show my love to the world."

"Look, the slave who is working as a coolie at the moment, although he is wearing a mask, I guess he must be a beauty." Feng Yun suddenly pointed to the ruins of the Weiyang Palace under the Star Observation Pavilion and said with a smile.

Dazai Shen Shutong, generals Huang Sheng and Hong Peng were all shocked when they heard this.They are close ministers of Lu Changqing, so they naturally know who the masked man is.

Lu Changqing said: "Why did Jinghou say that?"

Feng Yun stood up, walked to the side of the pavilion, looked at Feng Qi who was dumping the soil, and said politely: "Although this man is down at the moment, you can see that he has a calm and soothing attitude in his gestures. A person is not beautiful. Beauty is not only based on appearance, but also on charm. It is not surprising that when a person is proud of his spring, he naturally has a good demeanor. But if a person still retains his former strength of character when he is in adversity, this is his true self. spirit."

"In addition, this person has a slender figure, and a pair of flat and slender collarbones, but judging from these two points, no matter what his appearance is under the mask, he can already be called a beauty."

Dazai Uncle Shen looked at Lu Changqing with the same eyes, and said: "Your Highness Jinghou, this person is just a vulgar slave..."

But Feng Yun interrupted: "He is definitely not. I dare to conclude that if this person is not a prince or three princes, he will definitely not be under Liu Qing. Your Highness Qinghou, why don't we call him up and ask him face to face." Feng Yun smiled at Lu Changqing road.

"Your Highness Jinghou..." Dazai couldn't help trying to dissuade him.

Lu Changqing said lightly: "Alright, Dazai, you ask him to come up."

Dazai thought that today's matter is difficult to settle, so he sighed and walked out of the pavilion.

There was dinner at Weiyang Palace, and Feng Qi had just had a mouthful of porridge when he was pushed and shoved by several guards to the star gaze pavilion.The little eunuch hurriedly got up and chased after a few steps, Feng Qi turned his head and shook his head at him, then followed them.

Feng Qi entered the pavilion, glanced around, seeing these people, he had some confidence in his mind.

Lu Changqing wanted to win over Jinghou to help him deal with Zhuhou, but somehow it involved himself.Turning his gaze to meet the little flute boy again, he lowered his head.

Seeing that he came in and looked around, Lu Changqing just didn't look at himself, and suddenly felt an indescribable loss in his heart.However, when he realized that his emotions would fluctuate because this person didn't pay attention to him, Lu Changqing had another unknown fire.

"Beauty, what did you do in the past?" Jinghou's "beauty" made Feng Qi startled, even though he was beautiful, because of his noble status, no one had ever called him such a frivolous title before.

Only then did he glance at Lu Changqing, pointed at his throat, and shook his hand.

Jinghou showed a surprised expression, "Are you dumb?"

Feng Qi didn't nod, nor shook his head.

Jinghou said: "Well, if I ask you something, you just need to nod or shake your head, but no deception is allowed. Let me ask you, are you born dumb?"

Feng Qi shook his head.

"Been poisoned and dumb?"

Feng Qi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Someone won't let you talk?"

Feng Qi nodded.

Dazai quietly glanced at Lu Changqing, seeing that his face was getting more and more gloomy, he couldn't help sweating for Feng Qi quietly.

Jinghou turned his head to look at Lu Changqing, and asked again: "Did His Highness Qinghou not let you speak?"

Feng Qi didn't look at Lu Changqing, hesitated for a while, then shook his head.

Jinghou immediately turned around and bowed to Lu Changqing, "His Royal Highness, Cai Fengyun was rude just now."

Lu Changqing said: "Jinghou takes pity on the beauties, and I am not a narrow-minded person. But Jinghou is wrong this time, he is not a noble person, he... used to be a male concubine of the king. Punish him for seducing Chao Gang, so lock his face."

Feng Qi's body froze suddenly, and he looked at Lu Changqing, but Lu Changqing's face was frosty, and he didn't look at him.

Dazai Shen Shutong and Huang Shenghong Peng both looked at each other in blank dismay, neither of them expected that Lu Changqing would humiliate the former national teacher to this extent in person.Qinghou has always been tolerant to others, but it seems that he just can't tolerate this person.

"Bitch slave, come here and serve wine for Marquis Jing." Lu Changqing said suddenly.He saw that Jinghou was interested in Feng Qi, but he was afraid that he would open his mouth to please others, so he only ordered Feng Qi to serve him wine, expressing his disapproval.

Jinghou had already noticed that Lu Changqing's face was not hesitant, and he must have an unusual relationship with Lu Changqing, so he also went down the steps at this moment, and said with a smile: "beauty, take off your dirty coat and sit beside me Come."

Feng Qi was very uncomfortable when Lu Changqing said "male concubine". Now that Jinghou asked him to undress again, he felt a little pain in his heart.He unfastened his belt and took off his outer robe, barely covering his body with the thin lining.

The man's appearance made this lustful Jinghou look at him!Lu Changqing's heart was burning with anger.

Feng Qi knelt on the ground, took the jug and filled the jade cup in Jinghou's hand.However, his wrist softened, the flagon was tilted, and the fine wine spilled on Jinghou's hands.

Feng Qi thought to himself, Lu Changqing, you are so happy, I can't even hold the jug now.

Jinghou laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, just come and lick it clean." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand that was stained with wine.If this person is really the national teacher Feng Qi, he will definitely not tolerate such molestation and humiliation, Feng Yun thought to himself.

Jinghou's lustful reputation is indeed well-deserved.Even Lu Changqing's boots have been licked, what else can't be licked now?If Jinghou is not allowed to enjoy himself today, and he refuses to send troops to assist Hao Jing in dealing with Zhu Guo, Lu Changqing will not be blamed for this.

Without saying a word, Feng Qi leaned down, stuck out his tongue and licked Jinghou's right hand carefully.Feng Yun was stunned for a moment.

A warm and soft tongue sticks out from under the cold bronze mask, which makes everyone present feel a kind of sensuality that is hard to move.Dazai Shen Shutong sighed, originally killing him would be fine, but Lu Changqing wanted to keep him.The national teacher who served the gods in the past has been abused to such an extent, and I don't know how to end it in the future.

Sticky licking sound, rolling Adam's apple, what kind of expression do you use under the bronze mask to do these things, Lord Hoki... Dazai hung his head and remained silent.He is very clear about the value of this man, if Lu Changqing really only treats him as a lowly slave or male concubine to vent his hatred, it would be a waste of money.The ability of the Great Zhou Guoshi, the third in beauty, the second in medicine and stone, and his greatest ability is the method of deploying troops.

More than ten years ago, when Lu Changqing's elder brother Lu Shutong was still alive, Feng Qi wandered around the military camp, advising him and fighting many great battles that resonated across the north and south.And after Lu Shutong's death, Feng Qi also felt as if his heart had died, curled up in Wangcheng to spend his days in a daze, becoming more and more heartless, and only devoted himself to writing green speeches for the king's alchemy all day long.However, although this fox is old and world-weary, it does not mean that he has forgotten how to use soldiers.Now the situation is grim, if there is a real mutiny, only this person can turn the tide.

Just looking at the current posture, Lu Changqing is afraid that he will be chilled.Uncle Dazai Shen sighed in unison.

The banquet didn't end until evening, and Jinghou returned with a beautiful woman playing the piano.Feng Qi took a few steps, moved his knees to the soft futon, picked up the robe that was thrown aside, and put it on again.The slender arms stretched into the sleeves, twisted slightly, and then slipped into the sleeves on the other side, with onion-like fingertips protruding from the cuffs.Lu Changqing didn't understand why he could not take his eyes off this man even though he was just dressing normally.However, the dirty clothes, the ugly bronze face, why even Jinghou can see his beauty when they are in such a state?

Lu Changqing hated himself for being deluded by him again, remembering how he was licking Jinghou's fingers just now, burning with anger, picked up a wine jar, and poured the wine on the ground under his feet. "You like to lick wine so much, just lick it clean!"

Not only Feng Qi, but even Shen Shutong and the two generals were taken aback.

Feng Qi sat in a daze for a moment, then shook his head towards Lu Changqing.

He didn't speak, and couldn't see his expression. Lu Changqing didn't know what he was expressing.

"You bitch, aren't you afraid of death?" Lu Changqing was totally different from his usual indifference, the veins on his forehead popped up, "Answer me, talk!"

After several days, Feng Qi finally spoke, "Do you really want to humiliate me like this?"

The voice was so flat that no emotion could be heard, but it was his usual accent.So Lu Changqing habitually looked at his face, imagining to peek at the man's elusive heart from his expression as before.

But there was a bronze mask on that face, and there was only a funny smile as if mocking Lu Changqing.

Dazai Shen Shutong knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please read it in the face of Mr. Qitong..." Mr. Qitong is the nickname of Lu Changqing's elder brother Lu Shutong.

Lu Changqing's voice was erratic and cold, "My brother was killed by him, if he knew it, he would definitely applaud!"

Feng Qi suddenly heard Lu Shutong's alias, and his heart ached.Without further ado, he knelt on the ground and licked the wine stains.

It would be fine if he refused, Lu Changqing would not be furious, but he obeyed the order so happily.What kind of person is this person I once admired...

Lu Changqing said harshly: "You raise your head up for me, don't lick any more, drink up all the wine, all the wine in this pavilion!"

"His Highness Qing Hou's order, is it to lick the wine, or to drink up all the wine in the pavilion?" Feng Qi asked softly.

He picked up the wine jar and poured the wine into his mouth.After drinking one jar, he picked up another jar and continued pouring it down his throat.He drank three or four altars, and his movements began to slow down.

He was choked and coughed, and continued to drink after coughing.

Lu Shutong, if you heard your brother humiliate me like this, would you really applaud me?

Neither the Dazai nor the two generals dared to dissuade him, and Yu Wei, the disgraced national teacher, was still there. Seeing him drinking recklessly, no one dared to say a word.

Feng Qi only coughed a few times at first, but gradually he coughed uncontrollably.He raised the wine jar while coughing, and Lu Changqing's heart trembled when he heard him coughing.

A crazy man with a slender and tall body, holding the wine jug on his back and drinking... Even such a scene made Lu Changqing feel a kind of wanton beauty that hit the bottom of his heart.He suddenly realized that no matter how this man became, he always thought he was beautiful.It's horrible...it's horrible...

Feng Qi coughed, and there were spots of blood splashed on the ground, which gradually became pieces.

He picked up the wine jar and swallowed the blood with the wine.

Lu Changqing stared blankly at the bloodstains on the ground for a while, and suddenly realized that they were such a large area. He woke up suddenly, jumped up and snatched Feng Qi's wine jar, and threw it on the ground.

Feng Qi asked in a low voice: "Do you still want me to drink?"

The voice was so low and soft, but it didn't seem to have a trace of emotion.Lu Changqing wished he could lift his mask and see his expression.

He trembled: "You are not allowed to drink in the future..."

Feng Qi nodded, and didn't say another word.He picked up the last jug of wine left, turned around and went down to look at Shutai.That tall figure is covered with sunset glow, floating gracefully in the twilight.

Lu Changqing silently watched his back disappear, and waved back and forth.Years of hard work accumulating strength, just because he wanted to tear Feng Qi's wings and make him crawl like a caterpillar, but when he saw those wings with his own eyes again, he couldn't forget that they were once the most beautiful thing in his eyes .
