There was a slight questioning in his tone.

After asking, Liang Qing didn't notice that Xiao Chengyan narrowed his shallow pupils, and turned his head, took an osmanthus cake and ate it.

Xiao Chengyan's face remained unchanged, and he lowered his eyes to explain: "My lord is inconvenient to move, and his arm is injured, so we must not delay."

This explanation was justifiable, and Xiao Chengyan's tone was sincere, Liang Qing believed for a moment that the other party hugged him out of kindness, but he speculated too much, which made him seem self-indulgent.

Xiao Chengyan asked: "My lord, I heard that the envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty are here."

When the first emperor came to the throne, Nanyue was still the Great Viet Dynasty, ruling the north and south.It's a pity that the emperor was fatuous and was expelled from the capital by the rising Northern Wei Dynasty. It was not until the current emperor Xiao She ascended the throne and re-established Lin'an as the capital, that it was considered stable for so many years.

Xiao Chengyan's father, King Yu, still had the intention of taking back his homeland in the north, so he was aggressive in warfare, and was suspected by the emperor.

And this time Yu Wang was framed on the way to lead his troops to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty.Before the interception took place, King Yu's army fled just after repelling the Northern Wei army, and was about to capture the city.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was at a disadvantage in this war, and this time they sent envoys to negotiate a peace.

Unfortunately, because of the emperor's suspicion, a city occupied by Nanyue had to be returned.

Liang nodded lightly, and said, "That's right, the emperor will hold a banquet to welcome the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At that time, I will also go, so there is no need to prepare dinner...but you can prepare pastries for supper."

The last sentence was not addressed to Xiao Chengyan.

Tao Guanjia said: "My lord, the government doctor told you to eat less sweets when taking the nourishing and health-preserving medicinal diet."

Liang Qing didn't like the bitter and strange medicinal food, but she didn't say anything.

He was often worried about this body, even if Xiao Chengyan didn't kill him, he wouldn't live long.

Xiao Chengyan watched Liang Qing's eyes change from bright to drooping to hide the loss in the eyes, the beauty's unhappy expression always arouses pity.

Xiao Chengyan said: "My lord, I want to go."

Liang Qing froze for a moment, and frowned, "You want to go to the banquet? It's very dangerous. Besides, you have to go through screening to enter the palace. Even if you hide by my side, you will be discovered."

Xiao Chengyan said: "I will change my appearance. As long as the adults are willing to take me with me, I am sure that I will not be recognized."

Xiao Chengyan is aware of his current strength, he is not a humble and gentle young man who is only twenty years old and his family is in decline.

In this body is Xiao Chengyan who lived a lifetime, and also the ruthless tyrant who unified the north and the south and established a new dynasty.

He knows how to get his best interests and how to avoid adverse threats.

Liang Qing saw the certainty in Xiao Chengyan's eyes, even though he was only 20 years old, Long Aotian, who had experienced family turmoil, had matured rapidly and became a real man, and he couldn't keep him in the mansion forever.

Besides, Xiao Chengyan may need to find out the truth about King Yu's case.

Liang Qing knew she was guilty, but she couldn't stop her.

"Yes." Liang Qing said with a serious expression, "But if you are discovered, I will not save you."

On the second day, there was another news from Zhen Guo Gong's mansion that Zhen Guo Gong beat Xiao Chengyan again, and beat him to pieces so that he couldn't get out of bed.

After the meal, the people in Lin'an City were chatting, and they were a little more afraid of the image of Lord Zhen Guo.

In Zhen Guogong's mansion, Liang Qing stared at Steward Tao and his staff who were helping him, and asked suspiciously: "Although it's an act, can't I have a good reputation as an official?"

The aide said: "My lord, when we spread the news, it was clear that Mr. Xiao would only be punished for violating government regulations by breaking into your beloved hot spring pool at night."

Liang Qing's eyelids twitched.

Tao Guanjia said: "My lord, you are wise and powerful, but the world just misunderstands you."

Liang Qing raised his forehead, King Yu didn't feel wronged, in the eyes of the world, he was the cruel big devil who bullied the poor little son, and Xiao Chengyan was naturally on the weak side.

Liang Qing said: "Have everyone in the house kept their mouths shut?"

Butler Tao said, "I've said it all, no one dares to doubt the authenticity of this matter."

Liang Qing nodded, and was about to enter the palace. To be on the safe side, the aides proposed this move, but the effect was really... hard to describe.

Soon it was the day to entertain the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liang Qing changed into a thick and luxurious brocade robe, tied her hair and wore a crown, before going out, Housekeeper Tao brought Xiao Chengyan over.

Liang Qing hesitated for a moment as he looked at the ordinary-looking man and the man in a bodyguard uniform.

Xiao Chengyan said, "It's me."

His aggressive aura was restrained, and the guards around Liang Qing were all tall, so it wasn't particularly obvious.

Liang nodded lightly, besides Xiao Chengyan, he also had embroidery.In fact, except for themselves, the two of them could not appear at the banquet, and usually waited in the side hall next to them.

The luxurious and spacious hall was brightly lit, and the dancers in luxurious clothes walked into the hall with light steps, and visitors arrived one after another with their delicate bowls, chopsticks and wine cups on the seats.

Liang Qing had to be carried up because of his inconvenient legs and feet. The lineup was bigger than the ministers climbing the stairs next to him, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

On the way, he met Cheng Zirui, the second son of Anding Hou's family. The other party glanced at Liang Qing, remembering the scene at the Zhen Guogong's mansion that made a patient with severe cleanliness collapse, his face changed drastically and he ran away.

Liang Qing was being carried up the stairs, he turned sideways with his arms propped up, his bright black eyes slightly opened, the corners of his thin lips were slightly hooked, and his tone was lazy: "Why did you just leave? "

A low voice came from above his head: "My lord, don't move around."

The only one who can talk to him like this is Xiao Chengyan.

Liang Qing sat upright and asked everyone to carry her to the seat.His seat was specially designed by the emperor, and he didn't need to sit cross-legged. Not only was he in the upper position, but it was also higher than the average person's seat, which symbolized the honor of the royal family for taking care of him.

After Xiao Chengyan sent Liang Qing to him, he left quietly.

Liang Qing chatted with the ministers who came to talk to him for a while, and the banquet began.

The outcome of the negotiations between the two countries had already been finalized by Honglu Temple, and this banquet was mainly for eating, drinking and chatting.Liang Qing looked sleepy, and wanted to leave after the banquet was halfway through, when suddenly he saw someone standing up suddenly and walking in his direction, it was the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty held the wine glass, and suddenly said to the superior: "I see that the gentleman in the rich clothes over there has not spoken a word. I wonder if it would be a favor for me to treat this gentleman to a drink?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man with a casual expression but a very handsome face raised his eyelids. The gaze that fell on his face seemed to be a hallucination, but the hand that stretched out was white and slender, and the voice was faint. : "I don't drink alcohol."

At a glance, people can see that he is pale and weak, but he reveals an unattainable indifference.

The envoy became interested, and said, "How can a dignified man not drink?"

Someone stood up at the seat and was about to argue for Liang Qing, but saw their adult gesture for him to sit down.

Liang Qing asked calmly, "Can you embroider?"

The envoy was stunned: "Of course not! How can an imposing man be able to do embroidery that only women do?"

Liang Qing said: "You are a man, why can't you even know how to embroider?"

The envoy said angrily: "Could it be that all Nanyue men can only embroider? My lord looks good, but he can only embroider?"

Liang Qing coughed suddenly, and now even the people around Liang Qing stood up, and the emperor frowned, but Liang Qing said softly: "Northern Wei men don't know how to embroider, and they can't even guard the city."

His eyes fell on the envoy coldly and harshly, his voice didn't fluctuate, but it seemed to be oppressive, making the envoy lose his voice.

The lost city was not what they deserved.

Nanyue cooperated with his loyal master in order to get rid of the powerful general Yu Wang, so this city was brought back by the Northern Wei Dynasty. His master told him many times to treat Nanyue people with humility.

Liang Qing said: "Do I need to teach you how to make peace and surrender to the victor?"

The envoy didn't dare to speak, and the cold sweat broke out behind his back.

Provoking the Minister of South Vietnam annoyed this seemingly high-ranking figure, and when he passed it back, his black hat would be gone.

Going one step further, if the handover of the city is not done well, other people's heads will be gone.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, all the Nanyue officials present felt extremely happy.On this battlefield, the Northern Wei Dynasty was originally a defeated country, and I don't know where the confidence came from, so they uttered nonsense at the banquet.

The emperor took over the conversation and justly displayed his country's imperial prestige. When the arrogant envoy knelt down and begged for mercy, the emperor found that Liang Qing's seat was empty.

The emperor said to the eunuch beside him, "Go and see how Master Liang is doing?"

The little eunuch ran to the side hall where he was resting, but saw Liang Qing sitting in a wheelchair, with his back bent, covering his mouth and coughing in a low voice, making one hand tightly squeeze the handle, so hard that it almost turned white.

And beside him, stood an extraordinarily tall bodyguard, with an ordinary appearance, but exuding a chilling and undeniable toughness, he whispered: "My lord? I'll send you back home to rest."

Liang nodded his head lightly, his face was a little bloody due to the severe cough just now, and there was water in his eyes, the little eunuch who watched was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down to see him off.

Xiao Chengyan pushed Liang Qing out of the palace, trying to avoid the position of the air vent, and asked: "Is it still uncomfortable, my lord?"

Liang shook his head lightly. He was choking on the wind when he was in a hurry to speak just now, and his body was too weak, so he coughed so much that he almost vomited.

"How can the voice be changed?" Liang Qing's voice was hoarse, "When did you come back?"

"It will change a little bit." Xiao Chengyan's original voice was low, but now it became much rougher, "He came back before leaving the banquet."

He lowered his head and looked down, and saw Liang leaning slightly on the wheelchair, the dim yellow light shining on his tired brows.

Although Liang Qing was in poor health in the past, it was not at all to the point of threatening his life. Only now did Xiao Chengyan feel that this person's illness was torn apart, as if he was fragile and vulnerable to a single blow.

After a while, Xiao Chengyan suddenly stretched out his hand and gathered the other party's sleeves that were too loose and scattered.
