I'm happy after being scumbag

While speaking, Yan Yunge struggled to get off the bed and knelt in front of Lu Mingyu.

He leaned on the ground.This was a gesture of pleading guilty, but Lu Mingyu saw the wound on his back again.

The whip marks showed Yan Zhengyuan's merciless attitude towards his son.The degree of deterioration of the wound now told Lu Mingyu how difficult it was for Yan Yunge in the past period of time.

Lu Mingyu's Adam's apple rolled, his voice became much calmer, and he asked again: "You still haven't told me why Yan Zhengyuan beat you?"

Hearing this, Yan Yunge's eyelids trembled, and he didn't answer.

He didn't want to lie to Lu Mingyu anymore.But he couldn't push the Yan family to a dead end with his own hands.

However, his performance had already told Lu Mingyu some results to a certain extent.

The emperor sneered and said, "Let me guess—the reason why Yan Zhengyuan beat you is also related to the real reason why you kept King Ning's existence from you, right?"

Yanyun Gewen answered incorrectly, "We have never threatened the Jiang family. She used to know the identity of King Ning, and I don't know how happy she is. Later, I brought her into Chang'an, and she also had a lot of gratitude for the Yan family. I never thought that she would be so happy." explain."

Lu Mingyu was impatient to hear what he said.He raised his foot to kick Yan Yunge, the strength was not heavy, but it meant more to vent his anger, and said: "Yes, Concubine Jiang knows that thunder, rain and dew are all due to your favor! Her identity and the identity of King Ning are all given to me." Yes! There's no need for the Yan family to take kindness and respect themselves!"

Yan Yunge felt the strength on his shoulders, and said with restraint: "Yes."

Lu Mingyu continued: "It is your duty as servants of the Yan family to take care of King Ning! Yan Yunge, no matter how much dispute you have with your father, it is also your duty to do it! You help him, the same—"

He paused.

He even spoke out.Lu Mingyu thought expressionlessly.

His words seemed to be clearly telling Yan Yunge that what he did last night, including the conflicts he had with Yan Yunge before, really moved the emperor.So at this moment, Lu Mingyu would repeatedly say that this is what he should have done in the first place.This was a hint aimed at Lu Mingyu himself, telling him that Yan Yunge was just doing a routine job as a minister, and it was not worth mentioning.

This is too bad.As a result, Lu Mingyu's mood sank a lot, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "You don't want to answer me because the Yan family really has a disobedient heart."

Yan Yunge's lips trembled, and his body tended to get up.

However, Lu Mingyu quickly continued: "If something goes wrong with me, you have King Ning in hand, and you can coerce the young emperor to order the officials. The world is still named Lu, but who would not take your Yan family as the most important?"

If it was said that before seeing Yan Yunge today, Lu Mingyu still had a little bit of luck.Now that he noticed Yan Yunge's avoidance of the question, the answer was very clear.

He was disappointed, resentful, and mixed with mockery of his past self.

So stupid, so naive.Seeing this, Yan Yunge would probably laugh at him, because he would compensate the Yan family a lot because of a lie, and even pursue Pingkang as the emperor, and endure the wind and rain.

Lu Mingyu said bitterly: "Yan Yunge, you have nothing to say? You brought King Ning into Chang'an and pretended that he was suffering from a strange disease, didn't you just want me to reassure you? Where did the medicine come from? The imperial concubine also got involved , right?"

After speaking, Lu Mingyu's voice softened again.

He squatted down little by little, raised his hand to grab Yan Yunge's chin, forced him to look up at himself, and said, "I was willing to believe your lies before, but I will never again."

The eyes of the two collided, and the sweet and warm fragrance from the emperor's body poured into Yan Yunge's nostrils again.

He had a dream for a moment, as if at this moment he was not a courtier who escaped from prison and died, but Yun Lang in the Palace of Eternal Harmony, the Son of Heaven.He used to abandon his identity like a shoestring, but now he has become a sweetheart.

Unfortunately, that is the past after all.When the emperor approached, he asked him: "Yan Yunge, do you want me to die?"

Yan Yunge had to wake up.

He replied harshly, "No."

Lu Mingyu said: "When you say 'no' now, do you want me to spare Yan Zhengyuan?"

Yan Yunge's cheeks twitched, unable to speak.

Seeing him like this, Lu Mingyu was inexplicably depressed.

He let go, stood up again, thinking: enough.I'm crazy to come here and talk crap with him.

Just like he thought before.No matter what the Yan family wanted to do or did in the past, just robbing the prison had already allowed all of them to go on their way.As for Yan Yunge, yes, he saved the emperor, but this is what he should have done!

So be it.A relationship that shouldn't have existed in the first place, and the dynasties that have been staged thousands of times in the past - Lu Mingyu finished thinking this way, and behind him, Yan Yunge suddenly said: "I never wanted your majesty to have something to do."

Lu Mingyu didn't want to hear it.

He is leaving.But from the bedside to the door, it takes a long time to count.Among them, Yan Yunge said: "I have never lied to His Majesty except for the matter of King Ning."

Lu Mingyu was furious in his heart, and finally turned around, wanting to reprimand Yan Yunge for being arrogant.

But Yan Yunge said again: "No, there is one more thing."

Lu Mingyu looked at him coldly, saw Yan Yunge kneeling on the ground, looking at himself, and said: "Those days in the Palace of Yonghe were not bad for me. Now that I think about it, if I can really live like that..."

Lu Mingyu couldn't bear it anymore: "Yan Yunge!"

Yan Yunge calmed down for a moment, smiled wryly, and said, "Your Majesty is going to kill me." As for Zheng Yi, Guo Xin, and Father, Yan Yunge was exhausted, thinking, yes, he wants them to live, From the perspective of the emperor, his relatives and friends really have no reason to live.

"It's just some gibberish." Yan Yunge said, "I'm just talking casually."

Lu Mingyu clenched his hands into fists, his shoulders trembled slightly.

Naturally still angry.However, he didn't go.

Yan Yunge said: "At that time, Shen Yun's case was investigated," Concubine Shu's younger brother and the second prince's uncle. Everyone said that it was a good thing to finally catch the Shen family's handle. But I know, Your Majesty doesn't just think so."

Lu Mingyu closed his eyes and said, "Yan Yunge."

Yan Yunge said: "Your Majesty also feels that those people are suffering. So after Shen Yun was convicted, His Majesty still did not let go.

"I went to look for His Majesty that day. When I arrived at the Prince Jian's Mansion, I heard that His Majesty was still in the study. I thought, the matter has been understood, what else is there to be busy with? I said, apart from Shen Yun, there are several other dudes doing evil in Pingkang.

"I asked Your Majesty, once you intervene, the balance in the court may be broken. In the past, the purpose of doing things was to get rid of the second prince. From the perspective of others, this is just a battle for the succession. But if you do anything else, I am afraid that others will think that Your Majesty I don't know the severity. At that time, these will be obstacles to His Majesty, but does His Majesty really want to do this?

"Your Majesty heard this, but asked me why I fought against the Turks in northern Xinjiang.

"I said, naturally it is to protect the people and territory of Da Zhou.

"His Majesty looked at me then and said, 'Why are you asking me when you know'.

"I'm listening, thinking, His Majesty will definitely become a son of heaven when he ascends the throne in the future. Yes, I think, even if His Majesty the Third Highness ascends the throne, he will not be able to do better than His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is right. To be a courtier, to be loyal to the emperor and to love the country is one's duty. But I have read history before, and I have thought about it countless times. If I met a faint emperor in the last years of the previous dynasty, would I be obsessed with being 'loyal to the emperor'? I can't do that." Yes. But if it is Your Majesty, even if I and Your Majesty have never..." After a pause, "I still want to save Your Majesty."

When Lu Mingyu heard this, his mood was complicated, his tone changed, and he still called: "Yan Yunge."

"I haven't figured out such a simple truth until now." Yan Yunge laughed lowly, "At that time, I discovered my own thoughts, but I only had fear in my heart. I think that I originally associate with His Majesty just to replace the three Your Highness takes revenge. There are other things in the future, which are just accidents, nothing more. How, how can I think that Your Majesty is better than the Third Highness?

"Can't think too much, can't help but think too much.

"Your Majesty found the ancient sword and presented it to me. I was very happy. I wondered if Your Majesty treated me differently. But then, Zheng Yi and Guo Xin came to me. I woke up suddenly. For the Yan family, how could I feel like this? .

"'If my surname is not Yan'," Yan Yunge said, "I actually had such an idea. But if it is true, will His Majesty and I not have to go to this point?...No, then from the beginning, I will not be the one who has a relationship with His Majesty. Your Majesty will not look at me more, and will not have anything to do with me."

Lu Mingyu moved his fingers slightly.

He originally wanted to say: no.As long as it's you, but in everything you-

But he also realized that maybe what Yan Yunge said was right.

The two got drunk because the second prince wanted to suppress the third prince, so he dragged Lu Mingyu into the water.In the later contact, it was because of the death of the third prince that the Yan family wanted revenge and found new support.

If Yan Yunge's surname wasn't Yan, and if Lu Mingyu wasn't the prince, the two of them wouldn't even have had each other in the first place.

This thought made Lu Mingyu's body numb slightly.At this time, Yan Yunge said again: "The former emperor and His Majesty both want to cut down the military power of the Yan family. Father is quite disturbed, but I think it is hard to say about the former emperor, but His Majesty will not do anything more to the Yan family. I I advise father to take King Ning back to Chang'an as soon as possible. Otherwise, His Majesty will know about King Ning, and there will be problems. But Father is still hesitant, and His Majesty will know about it. After that, His Majesty will know about it."

He faced a similar situation then as he does today.I don't want to lie to the emperor, and I don't want to betray my father.In the end, it turned out to be a dead end.

"When I came back from Shanglin Garden," Yan Yunge said, "I made a huge mistake. I cared about my family more than I cared about the people's suffering. Fortunately, the matter was able to turn around and it didn't cause a catastrophe. It can be seen that God Bless Your Majesty, the Yan family is destined not to have any good results."

"You think so?" The emperor looked at him deeply, with a subtle tone.

Yan Yunge said "Yes", and Lu Mingyu asked again: "You used to be from the Yan family, so there is no choice. But in the future, will you still work for the Yan family?"

Yan Yunge looked at him, but didn't understand what the emperor meant.He replied cautiously: "I am His Majesty's courtier first, and then others."

"That's true." The emperor's eyes darkened, and his tone was much calmer than before, "If you are really like what you said just now, you have considered a lot for me, so that Yan Zhengyuan treats you like that—"

He put his hands on Yan Yunge's back, gently touching those unhealed wounds.

Yan Yunge endured the pain.

Lu Mingyu said: "I will give you a chance to choose."

Yan Yunge didn't understand, and asked, "Your Majesty?"

The Son of Heaven looked at him, his tone neither light nor serious, but his eyes were still dark, and said: "If you can let go of the Yan family, that's good. Yan Yunge is going to die, but you can still be my Yunlang."

Yan Yunge's pupils shrank suddenly.

He heard Lu Mingyu ask: "Yunlang, do you want to come back?"
