Ruthless Sword Master Pretty Snake Demon

Qingning Palace, inside the East Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Yuan Shuo sat in a chair in his ordinary clothes, with his hands on his knees, and his eyes were fixed on the entrance.

"Your Majesty, please use tea." The eunuch Fuquan handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there is still a long way to go from the East Palace to our Qingning Palace."

Emperor Yuanshuo took the tea and did not drink it. He just looked down at the undulating tea leaves in the white porcelain water, and said calmly, "He has returned safely. What is there to worry about?"

Fuquan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty is not in a hurry, it's the servant who said something wrong."

Emperor Yuan Shuo glanced at him, picked up his teacup and lowered his head to take a sip.However, before he took a sip of tea in his mouth, he could vaguely see someone walking in from the corner of his eyes. Without shaking his hands, the teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, and the splashed tea wetted his shoes and the hem of his clothes. .

"Oh! Your Majesty is not hurt, right?" Fuquan quickly stepped forward to check Emperor Yuanshuo's hand, and seeing that it was all right, he knelt down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the wet place on his body.

"Your majesty is alarmed, you deserve death, and I beg your majesty to come down!" The elderly imperial doctor knelt tremblingly, panicking.

Emperor Yuanshuo waved his hand and sighed, "Why is this a trivial matter? Fuquan, go and help the imperial physician get up. Also, give me a seat."

Fuquan got the signal, and hurried over to help Doctor Lin up, and hurriedly moved a chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." After sitting down, Imperial Physician Lin looked at Emperor Yuanshuo with old but not cloudy eyes, and said with concern, "Your Majesty ordered the old minister to come over, but what's wrong with your body?"

"Just wait for a moment." Emperor Yuan Shuo shook his head, then ordered Fuquan to clean up the ground.

The young eunuchs next to him were all waiting outside, so Fuquan, a big eunuch, would have to do everything by himself, and he was so tired that his back hurt.

The warm pavilion fell silent for a while, until there was a beautiful palace lantern outside the window from far to near, and the warm yellow light illuminated the two young people who came side by side through the gauze painted with pictures of beauties.

Perhaps the light was too warm, and Emperor Yuan Shuo noticed a rare gentle look in the eyes of the eldest son, like melting ice and snow, or turning green on a mountain.

"I have seen Your Majesty." There was no emotion in Ao Ye's eyes, and there was no joy of reunion after a long absence on his face.It was as if the person in front of him was not his biological father, but an irrelevant stranger.

"Caomin has seen His Majesty." She Yanbai imitated Ao Ye and saluted with a smile, without the awe that ordinary people should have when seeing the emperor.

"Exemption." Emperor Yuan Shuo frowned, pointed to the chair by the window and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ao Ye and She Yanbai took their seats, each with a stern expression, their eyes darker than the dark sky outside.With a smile on his lips, after looking at the furnishings in the room with impunity, a pair of Qiushui Qiutong looked directly at the emperor.

The man in red in front of him had a detached aura. Although his appearance was beautiful, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was flirtatious, but he was not kitsch.Especially those impenetrable eyes, anyone who just glanced at him would not regard him as an unknown person.

Emperor Yuan Shuo and She Yanbai looked at each other for a while, then looked away, and stared deeply at Ao Ye's increasingly resolute face.He was full of emotions, parted his lips, and finally said, "Doctor Lin, please take a look for the prince."

Fuquan helped Doctor Lin get up and went over, Ao Ye stretched out his hand silently, looking at the wrinkled fingers on his wrist.He vaguely recalled that this imperial doctor Lin seemed to be the best doctor in the imperial hospital.

After a while, Imperial Physician Lin withdrew his hand, frowning slightly.

"How?" Emperor Yuan Shuo leaned forward slightly, his palms tightly grasping the armrest, his expression serious.

Doctor Lin straightened his waist, and said slowly, "His Royal Highness is in good health, but he is a little bit angry. Turning around, I will give His Highness a prescription to get rid of the fire and drink for two days."

Emperor Yuanshuo's expression eased a little, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Fuquan, send Imperial Physician Lin back."

"Wait a minute." Ao Ye begged, "I would like to ask Your Majesty for a favor. The Mr. She next to me is my savior. Mr. She is ill. Could you trouble Imperial Doctor Lin to take a look?"

Emperor Yuan Shuo watched Ao Ye's humble posture, leaned back, raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, and said wearily, "Doctor Lin, show him."

She Yanbai leaned on the table, stretched out her bright wrist to rest on the back of Ao Ye's hand, and said with a smile, "Trouble."

Emperor Yuan Shuo's eyebrows twitched, and he looked away, feeling a headache.

He has heard about She Yanbai for a long time, it is said that she is a sick child, and she is too close to her eldest son, and often even lives in the same room.

Doctor Lin didn't speak for a long time after taking the pulse, and kept shaking his head and sighing, which made Ao Ye feel anxious.

Even Emperor Yuan Shuo watched over quietly, paying attention to She Yanbai's condition.

"You might as well speak up if you have something to say," Ao Ye said.

"Alas, this young master's illness is something that I can't do anything about." Doctor Lin said, "But if you have a good life, you should be able to live another 20 years."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at She Yanbai, seeing that his appearance was no more than ten years old, and he was in the prime of his life, but he suddenly knew that he would not live for many years, but there was no sadness on his face, but a smile on his face, like Lin Yu. The doctor said it was not like him.

Ao Ye's heart sank, and the hand under She Yan's white wrist unconsciously clenched into a fist, and said slowly, "Gu... I got it."

After Fuquan sent Imperial Physician Lin away, there were only Emperor Yuanshuo, Ao Ye and She Yanbai left in the Nuan Pavilion, and they were speechless for a moment.

After a long time, it was still Ao Ye who said, "It's getting late, if His Majesty has nothing else to do, I will go back first."

Emperor Yuan Shuo rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "You have been to the south for many days..."

He just started talking, Ao Ye interrupted, respectfully said, "Tomorrow, I will write down the details of what I have experienced in Jiangning Mansion, and then submit it to His Majesty for reading."

In this way, it seems that there is nothing else to say.

Emperor Yuan Shuo sighed inwardly, twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled gently at She Yanbai, "Mr.

Before seeing anyone, he had tossed and turned, thinking a lot.When he really saw it, he suddenly felt relieved, that's all, the time to influence Mr. She is short, why would he bother to do that hateful thing again.

As soon as he mentioned She Yanbai, Ao Ye immediately raised his vigilance, and finally turned his eyes to Emperor Yuanshuo. He has a handsome face and elegant temperament. Compared with the emperor, he is more like a scholar with a book in his hand and a gentle manner.

But in his early forties, Emperor Yuan Shuo had a few white strands on his temples.

"Ah Ye said he would take care of me for the rest of my life. Thinking about it carefully, with him around, I don't seem to need anything." She Yanbai said it very intimately.

Hearing this, Ao Ye nodded beside him.

Emperor Yuanshuo saw Ao Ye's expression that should be taken for granted, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he managed to maintain a kind expression, "In this case, let's write it down for now. If you want anything, Young Master She, feel free to ask me."

Looking at the eldest son who looked like a saw-mouthed gourd again, Emperor Yuan Shuo felt tired for a while, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, let's go back."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Ao Ye got up and said goodbye, helped She Yanbai go out, and when he was out the door, he couldn't wait to take off his outer robe and put it on She Yanbai.

Through the window, one can vaguely see the dimly lit place, and the figures of the two are so close that they almost blend into one.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Emperor Yuan Shuo was staring out with his hair in a daze, Fu Quan stepped forward to remind him, "It's getting dark, you see?"

Emperor Yuanshuo regained his senses, took a sip of the already cold tea, and sighed, "Fuquan, do you think that bastard did it on purpose? He really treats himself as an outsider when he speaks so loudly... ..."

Fuquan remained silent, walked up to Emperor Yuanshuo and gently massaged his forehead.

After a while, Emperor Yuan Shuo murmured, "He used to call me daddy..."

Only, that was many years ago.

Miyagi at night is huge and deserted. Walking in it is like walking in a deep valley. There are unclimbable mountains on both sides. In the middle, you can’t see the end when you go forward, and you can’t see the place to return when you look back. long road.

Ao Ye dismissed the palace people, and walked back slowly with the palace lantern and She Yanbai.

"I thought His Majesty would embarrass me." She Yanbai gathered the robe on her body, with a hint of regret in her tone.

Ao Ye looked up at the night sky with few stars, and said softly, "Your Majesty...is not unreasonable."

"Huh?" She Yanbai turned to look at him, "Then what kind of person is he?"

What kind of person?

In the past, he was probably a weak and gentle prince, a gentle and considerate husband, and a humorous father.It's just that after living in the palace and sitting on the throne on the high platform of the Golden Luan Hall, everything changed.

Ao Ye lowered his eyes, and his voice was so soft that if the night wind was stronger, he would not be able to hear it, "The first emperor is the elder brother of the current emperor. He has no children under his knees. After contracting a serious disease, he appointed the emperor as the heir apparent just in case. He died five years later. And died, so the Holy Brother and the last brother and..."

And the concubine Liu Gui in the palace, whose boudoir name is Lan Yan, is the younger sister of Liu Lanxuan, the head of the Liu family.She originally wanted to marry the late emperor as the queen, but when the late emperor was ill, she changed her target and fell in love with Ao Yu, Prince Gong who was once famous for his deep affection in Eastern Qin Dynasty.

"He once promised my aunt to be a couple for a lifetime, but as soon as he entered this deep palace, he made several concubines, and then he had princes and daughters beside him..." Ao Ye stopped and looked at She Yan. Bai's eyes were very serious, "But I'm different from him. I promised my mother not to be a half-hearted person. In the future, I will only have a wife...a partner."

Night Breeze lifted She Yanbai's long hair around her ears, and the flying strands of hair covered the expression in his eyes.

"Why are you telling me these things? I don't care if you marry one or two, or three or four. Even if you marry thousands or eight hundred, as long as you can afford it, others will not make irresponsible remarks. "She Yanbai said quietly.

Ao Ye's eyes darkened, he turned his head, and said in a low voice, "Doctor Lin said that your body needs to be recuperated."

"Huh?" She Yanbai didn't know what his sudden words meant.

Ao Yemai opened his feet, continued to walk forward, and sighed, "My salary is not much, I'm afraid I won't be able to support other people."

She Yanbai was startled, then shook her head and laughed.
