There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

In the early morning, Rong Zheng opened his eyes for no reason.

Rong Zheng was a light sleeper, and his sleep was particularly restless tonight, and he always felt that there was some movement around him that disturbed his sleep.But right now the heavy snow outside the window has not stopped, the room is very quiet, and there are no disturbing noises around.

Perhaps it was because the floor was too warm and the quilt was too thick, a thin layer of sweat covered Rong Zheng's body.He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, went to the window, and opened the window a small crack.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in from the window, Rong Zheng stood by the window to breathe a little, then turned and walked to the bed.

Ye Zhaoling was unconsciously falling asleep, Rong Zheng glanced at him unconsciously.In the dim light, Rong Zheng seemed to see the person under the quilt trembling slightly.

Rong Zheng was taken aback, and hurried to the bed, only to see that Ye Zhaoling was fast asleep on the bed, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

illusion?Rong Zheng returned to the bed suspiciously.As soon as he lay down, he felt the people around him tremble suddenly.

"What's wrong with you?" Rong Zheng stood up and approached Ye Zhaoling.

"What's the matter?" Ye Zhaoling seemed to be woken up by Rong Zheng, and frowned displeased.He opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him sleepily: "You don't sleep at night, you..."

Before Ye Zhaoling finished speaking, Rong Zheng involuntarily reached out and pressed his forehead to Ye Zhaoling's forehead——Ye Zhaoling's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his tentacles were wet and cold.In such a well-heated room, his body was terribly cold.

"You're sick, I'll call the doctor right away." Rong Zheng withdrew his hand, and was about to get out of bed and make a phone call.

"Wait." A cold hand grabbed Rong Zheng's wrist, and Ye Zhaoling stopped him.

It was only then that Rong Zheng realized that the ends of his eyes were red, and there was no focal length in his eyes.

There was no clue on Ye Zhaoling's face, but there was an unconcealable tremor in his voice: "Don't bother, I'm fine."

Rong Zheng looked at Ye Zhaoling, but didn't speak.In front of him, he didn't look like he was okay.

"It's too cold, and I have a headache. It's okay if I'm sick." Ye Zhaoling saw what Rong Zheng wanted to ask, he grabbed Rong Zheng's hand, pulled him back to the bed, and apologized to Rong Zheng in a low voice: "It has affected you." , I'm really sorry."

Ye Zhaoling usually doesn't take hard things, but tonight he is very flexible. The change in attitude makes Rong Zheng even more suspicious.But he didn't want to force Ye Zhaoling to let go of the idea of ​​asking a doctor for a while, and lay down beside him again.

Ye Zhaoling didn't want to show too many flaws in front of Rong Zheng, so she turned around and turned her back to him.

At this moment, the prince noticed a golden line emerging from the back of Ye Zhaoling's neck.This thread is less than half a centimeter thick, and it emits a faint light in the dark, which is weird no matter how you look at it.

In Rong Zheng's memory, Ye Zhaoling didn't have this thing around his neck.He was about to ask Ye Zhaoling what was going on, when Ye Zhaoling pulled up the quilt and buried most of his head in the bed.

There is nothing wrong with this situation today.Rong Zheng thought, let’s ask again when I have a chance.

Ye Zhaoling knew that Rong Zheng was watching him, so he closed his eyes and tried his best to restrain his trembling, hoping not to reveal any clues.

But the pain cannot be deceived. This kind of pain seeps out from the bone marrow and travels through the whole body with the blood.It was as if someone used a blunt knife to slowly goug out one blood hole after another in his flesh and blood, and if he relaxed his jaw a little, the teeth would creak due to the uncontrollable shaking of his body.

In the past three months, the backlash of spiritual power has become more and more frequent, probably because there is not much time left.If you still can't find the whereabouts of Shenpo next year, it's better to leave the East Palace and start in another direction.There are also those unfilial idiots in Lingjingxu, if I can't make it through this test, I have to plan for them early...

Ye Zhaoling was endlessly summing up some trivial chores in his head, trying to distract his attention to relieve the pain in his body.When he was thinking about finding an excuse to divorce the prince when the time came, he suddenly realized that Rong Zheng behind him hadn't moved for a long time.

The prince had a busy schedule during the day, so he must have fallen asleep.Tonight is still long, once the backlash of spiritual power starts, it will not pass easily.In order to avoid revealing any tricks in front of Rong Zheng again, Ye Zhaoling planned to go out and find an empty room to stay by himself, and let's get through tonight first.

Unexpectedly, before he got up, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and covered his eyes.

Soon, a warm body came up to him, Ye Zhaoling leaned back, and suddenly fell into a soft embrace.The breath from Rong Zheng's body poured over his head, the unfamiliar warmth made him hold his breath, he even forgot the pain.

Ye Zhaoling opened his eyes, and saw a ray of light outside the window through Rong Zheng's fingers.

The prince usually behaved prudently and decently, but his sleeping position was not very good.At this moment, he not only held Ye Zhaoling in his arms with hands and feet, but also patted him lightly with one hand.

It is true that the Rong family has divinity to this day.The severe pain in Ye Zhaoling's body that had been clamoring not long ago gradually calmed down under Rong Zheng's plausible comfort.

This is obviously something that can be overcome by gritting one's teeth.But once someone around you comforts you, you will become weaker.Ye Zhaoling relaxed her tense back and let herself lean into Rong Zheng's arms.

This is very inappropriate, Ye Zhaoling thought in his heart before his willpower completely collapsed.

It snowed all night, and when it was almost dawn, Rong Zheng finally heard the sound of steady and long breathing from his arms, and the person's body no longer had the creepy chill, and became dry and warm.

Rong Zheng pretended to sleep and stayed up with Ye Zhaoling all night. As soon as he let go of his heart, he was overwhelmed by exhaustion.

Before going to sleep, Rong Zheng lowered his head, and dazedly planted a kiss on the back of Ye Zhaoling's neck.Ye Zhao, who was sleeping, moved smartly, turned around, and buried his face in Rong Zheng's neck.

After dawn, the two of them had to go to Fengying Hall to worship their ancestors. After tossing and tossing for most of the night, there was not much time left.

Rong Zheng hugged the person in his arms tightly, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The endless night passed in this silent cuddle.They knew in their hearts that after dawn, no one would mention this short-lived involuntary feeling again.

**

The next day, Ye Zhaoling stood in front of the huge full-length mirror and looked at his back.

His skin is very white, and a pair of shoulder blades on his back are slightly raised, with sharp lines.

Between the pair of shoulder blades, there was a golden thread abruptly.This golden thread emerged impressively on his back along the spine, extending from the back of the neck to the waist, like a skeleton supporting the flesh and blood of this body.

After every strong spiritual backlash, the golden thread on his back would be shortened sharply, and when the thread disappeared completely, Ye Zhaoling would be on the verge of losing his skull.

But today something seems wrong.Ye Zhaoling stretched out his hand to stroke the golden thread on his back, and then raised his finger to his eyes for a closer look.

Compared with yesterday, this golden thread was only shortened by less than half an inch this morning.There was such a big commotion last night, it shouldn't be shortened by just a few points.

Then there must be something different last night, Ye Zhaoling thought to himself.

Before Ye Zhaoling figured out how ugly he was, Le Zhi pushed the door open and walked into the cloakroom.Ye Zhaoling turned around to face Lezhi, and the golden thread on his back disappeared instantly.

"Hou Ye." Le Zhi leaned over and put a stack of gowns on the low stool beside Ye Zhaoling, and said, "The time is coming, I'll change your clothes for you."

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the tradition, all members of the royal family gather at Fengying Hall to worship their ancestors on this day every year.Rong Zheng originally agreed with Ye Zhaoling to go there this morning, but Ye Zhaoling got up late in the morning, and Rong Zheng had already set off first.

What Ye Zhaoling will wear at the ceremony today is a simple dress. Compared with the big dress, the shape has been simplified a lot, but it is still very cumbersome to wear.It was already less than half an hour before Ye Zhaoling was ready from beginning to end.

Ye Zhaoling dragged his wide-sleeved robe with a long hem, just stepped out of the gate of Yingbo Terrace, and met Anyang Princess Rong Rong head-on.The princess is also wearing a grand dress today, with a colorful tourmaline butterfly pattern crown on her head, which looks a little more dignified and dignified as a noble lady from the heavenly family, and a little less of the usual air of not putting anything in it. The coldness in his eyes.

When Rong Rong saw Ye Zhaoling, he stepped forward to say hello, "Master Hou, good morning."

Ye Zhaoling stood on the spot and gave a simple salute, "What a coincidence, where is the princess going?"

"I'm going to Fengying Hall." Rong Rong came to Ye Zhaoling, glanced inside the gate, and asked, "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Ye Zhaoling said: "His Royal Highness set off first."

"That's it." Rong Rong said with a smile after hearing the words: "The two of us are very destined these days, why don't we go together?"

Ye Zhaoling took a step aside, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Princess please first."

The two walked forward a few steps side by side, and Ye Zhaoling looked back at the direction Rong Rong came from.From where she lives in Lanyue Pavilion to Fengying Hall, there is no need to go through Yingbo Terrace.

The distance between Yingbo Terrace and Fengying Hall is not far, but Ye Zhaoling and Rong Rong are wearing complicated dresses, and the road is slippery in snowy weather, so the walking is much slower.

Fortunately, the scenery of the Li Palace after the snow is pleasant and interesting, and the two chatted while walking, and the journey was not too boring.

"Speaking of which, when did Lord Hou and His Highness meet?" Rong Rong asked with great interest as he walked through a stone forest: "I was actually quite surprised when I suddenly heard the news that Brother Huang is going to get married."

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Ye Zhaoling said lightly, "Don't all the gossip tabloids explain it clearly?"

Rong Rong laughed when he heard the words: "How can you believe those chasing after the wind and chasing shadows, I would rather listen to what I have to say."

Rumor has it that this Anyang princess is arrogant and very difficult to get along with, but in front of Ye Zhaoling, the princess's character does not seem to be like this.

This does not mean that Ye Zhaoling is willing to confide in her. He looked forward and wrote lightly: "It's not much different from the rumors in the market. This child has no mother. It's a long story. I will talk to the princess slowly when I have time."

A few steps forward is the pine garden, where there is a white pagoda.When the two of them were walking in front of the White Pagoda, the wind suddenly blew up. The accompanying attendant was meticulous and thoughtful, and quickly took a fur cloak for the princess to put on.

While waiting for the princess to adjust her clothes, Ye Zhaoling raised her head and glanced at the top of the pagoda.The tower is hidden in a sea of ​​pine waves. The body of the tower is made of bluestone, and the surface is coated with a layer of white ash, which looks ordinary.

Seeing Ye Zhaoling staring at the scarlet orb on the top of the pagoda, Rong Rong enthusiastically introduced to the Marquis of Jingnan who came to the Li Palace for the first time: "This is the White Pagoda, and it has always been the residence of Zhong Yu, the national teacher, in the Li Palace. residence."

"So that's the case." Ye Zhaoling looked back and said indifferently: "The national teacher is indeed highly regarded by His Majesty, and he even specially reserved his residence in the palace."

"Yes, but I don't know why he didn't accompany him this year." As he spoke, Rong Rong looked at Ye Zhaoling intently: "Speaking of which, Master Hou has been in the palace for some time, have you seen the national teacher?"

"Never." Seeing that Rong Rong was dressed, Ye Zhaoling took the lead and walked forward: "What is the status of the national teacher, and how can I see you as soon as I say?"

In a blink of an eye, a group of people came to Fengying Hall.The ceremony is about to begin, and the palace people are busy back and forth.

Today's ceremony is not open to the public, so the atmosphere at the scene is relatively relaxed.The nobles of the royal family hadn't seen each other for a long time. Taking advantage of the gap before the ceremony, they stood in twos and threes on the porch enjoying the snow and chatting.

Ye Zhaoling and Rong Rong had a face-to-face meeting with Prince Rui as soon as they entered the door. Prince Rui was kind and tactful, and everyone in the palace could talk to him.In addition, Prince Rui was also an old acquaintance of Ye Zhaoling, when the three of them met, they naturally stopped and chatted for a few words.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Zhaoling prepared to bid farewell to the two and go into the palace to find Rong Zheng.Before leaving, Rong Rong at the side suddenly stopped him: "Master Hou, stay here."

With that said, Rong Rong stepped forward and carefully untied the sash on his back that was entwined by the wind.

Prince Rui saw this scene in his eyes, and joked cheerfully: "Xiao Ye, you have some skills, but not everyone can be as good as our Rong Rong."

Ye Zhaoling smiled and said, "That's really thanks to the princess' love."

After finishing speaking, Ye Zhaoling politely thanked Rong Rong.As soon as he turned around, he saw Rong Zheng standing in the door, looking at him without saying a word.
