sick!Seedlings?

On the official road, the ground is uneven.The carriage, which was already bumpy, became even more violent when it was occasionally crushed by half-sized rocks and mud.

Sitting in the carriage, Yaojin stretched out her slender wrist to lift the curtain of the window.Her eyes skipped over the withered and yellow leaves, the blue sky, and finally settled on the white clouds.

Today, the weather is really nice.

The bumpy carriage didn't affect Yaojin's mood, her delicate lips lifted slowly, and she seemed to have returned to the sentimental night with Dongfang Yinqi last night in a trance.

Yaojin raised her hand to touch her forehead, eyes, nose, and mouth.She closed her eyes, carefully felt every touch she made, and imagined the feeling of Dongfang Yinqi's slender fingers sliding across the skin.Slowly, the satisfied smile on Yaojin's lips became bigger and brighter.

She stretched out her hand and slowly covered her lower abdomen, and the happy smile in her eyes almost overflowed: "Dongfang Yinqi, after so many years, I finally... got my wish..."

The carriage rushed all the way, and soon, there was only a cloud of dust left on the official road.

Lieyun Kingdom, the emperor's bedroom.

Dongfang Yinqi stood in the yard with a livid face, and not far behind him stood a man with clean eyebrows and eyes.

"Ah Chen, why are you doing this?"

Shangguan Chen didn't move, his gaze skipped Dongfang Yinqi and floated far away, with a touch of sadness in his eyes: "What about you? Why did you lie to me that the mandarin duck Gu has been solved?"

"I..." Dongfang Yinqi moved his lips up and down a few times, but in the end he couldn't continue.

In fact, Shangguan Chen knew in his heart that the reason why Dongfang Yinqi didn't tell him the truth was just because he didn't want to add to his troubles.Now, asking this matter openly in front of Dong Yu Xi Yinqi is just to find a plausible excuse for what he did last night.

"Dongfang. Let me ask you, if it's me who planted the mandarin duck Gu, do you want to watch me lie on the bed all day long, or will you try your best to heal me?"

For a long while, Dongfang Yinqi did not answer.His back was very stiff, Shangguan Chen standing behind him could imagine the tangled look on Dongfang Yinqi's face at this moment.

"You don't speak because if it were you, you would do the same to save me, wouldn't you?"

"But..." Dongfang Yinqi turned around abruptly, walked a few steps to Shangguan Chen.His eyes turned blue, it seems that he didn't sleep well last night, the light in his eyes was dim and filled with annoyance, "Ah Chen, the person I like is you, how can you do that kind of thing with others, with others?"

Shangguan Chen withdrew his eyes and fell on Dongfang Yinqi's face, he laughed softly, and slowly stroked Dongfang Yinqi's cheek with his hand, his voice was very soft: "If I hadn't given you medicine last night, then things will be settled." It can't be done. You don't need to blame yourself for this matter, if you want to blame, blame me."

Dongfang Yinqi's generous palm covered the back of Shangguanchen's hand. He seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Ah Chen, did your mother force you to do this?"

Shangguan Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, wondering if it was because of the dry autumn wind, his pale lips were cracked with a few small openings, and fresh blood flowed out from the dry and cracked skin.Dongfang Yinqi's eyes tightened, and his other hand fell on Shangguan Chen's lips.The wound was touched, Shangguan Chen couldn't help frowning.The movement of his frown was not obvious, but it was still caught by Dongfang Yinqi: "Ah Chen, does it hurt?"

Shangguan Chen didn't seem to care about the wound on his lip, he took Dongfang Yinqi's hand away and explained: "Dongfang, this matter is all my idea, don't think too much about it."

Dongfang Yinqi didn't believe it, he stared at Shangguan Chen, and asked very seriously: "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me where you got this medicine from?"

"This, I can tell you. However, you have to promise that I will not blame others. "

Dongfang Yinqi looked at Shangguanchen suspiciously: "Okay, tell me."

Shangguan Chen took his hand out from under his palm, and replied quite seriously: "Ding Chuan."

"Ding Chuan?!" After listening to Dongfang Yinqi, he turned around and was about to go out.

Shangguan Chen quickly took a few steps forward, standing in front of Dongfang Yinqi: "I didn't tell Ding Chuan who this medicine was for, and I was the one who forced him to find it for me. In the final analysis, this matter I made it all by myself, no wonder others."

"Achen, you..." Dongfang Yinqi's chest heaved up and down a lot, he was breathing heavily, and it took a long time before his emotions gradually calmed down, "But she knew about this after the mother, didn't she?"

"Yes." Shangguan Chen admitted generously, "But this matter is all my own will, and it has nothing to do with others."

"Achen..."

Before Dongfang Yinqi could finish speaking, Shangguanchen reached out and hugged his waist, put his head on his chest, and breathed slowly: "Dongfang, I know you will be furious when you learn the truth. But why did you I can't think about it in another way. At the beginning, Yaojin made it a condition to enter the harem of Lieyun Kingdom. After I discussed with her, she promised that she would only want to be with you...with you..." Shangguan Chen paused, "In short, now, Not only do you not need to marry her, but your mandarin duck Gu is also released. In this way, we can stay together for a long time." Shangguan Chen raised his face and held Dongfang Yinqi's face with both hands, his eyes flashed with expectation, " So, isn't it good?"

"This way..." Dongfang Yinqi's eyes froze, he hesitated for a long time, and he finally spit out the next two words, "Very good."

"So..." Shangguan Chen raised his head to meet the tip of Dongfang Yinqi's nose, and rubbed gently, "Since this matter is over, let it pass, don't worry about it."

Dongfang Yinqi stretched out his arms to hug Shangguan Chen, and squeezed out a very forced smile: "Okay." As if thinking of something, Dongfang Yinqi slowly lowered his head, and lightly pecked Shangguan Chen's lips, "So, It doesn't hurt anymore."

Two days later, Great Yuan Kingdom, the Imperial Palace.

In the imperial study room, Mo Lian was sitting next to the desks, holding a brush in his hand, staring at the rice paper under his hand in a daze.

The ink fell from the tip of the pen and fell on the rice paper, and the thick ink spots quickly smudged on the rice paper.

Yun Sheng happened to push the door in with a cup of tea, and this was what he saw.

Hearing the movement, Mo Lian raised his head.Seeing Yunsheng, he said nothing and did not move. He lowered his head and took away the ink-stained rice paper, and spread a new one.

Yun Sheng put the teacup on Mo Lian's right hand, his eyes fell on Mo Lian's thin chin, and he couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, drink some tea."

Mo Lian nodded, and said in a low voice, "Understood, let's go down."

Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment and backed away, halfway back, he still couldn't hold back: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lin has returned to the palace."

Mo Lian calmly tightened his fingers holding the brush, but his face showed a calm expression: "Did Concubine Lin say where she went?"

"Concubine Lin said that it was too boring in the palace, so she went out for a walk, never thinking about getting lost, and this was a delay of a few days."

"Oh? Really?"

Yun Sheng immediately replied: "Return to Your Majesty, that's what Concubine Lin said."

"Okay, I got it."

Yunsheng nodded, still standing there without moving.

Unknown, Mo Lian raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else?"

"It's true. Your Majesty, Master Chu is asking to see His Majesty."

Mo Lian didn't raise his head, his brows were slightly frowned.After a long silence, he put down his brush and ordered Yunsheng to bring Chu Daozhi in.

Yun Sheng pushed the wheelchair and walked in: "Your Majesty, Master Chu is here."

"Okay, you step back first."

The door was closed, leaving only Mo Lian and Chu Daozhi in the imperial study.Mo Lian stood up from the chair and walked in front of Chu Daozhi, with a faint smile on his lips: "Could Aiqing come this time to persuade me to unite with Xiaoyuan Kingdom to send troops to Lieyun Kingdom as soon as possible? "

Chu Daozhi nodded firmly: "I know that Your Majesty does not agree with my proposal, so I have mentioned it many times and His Majesty does not intend to do it. But has Your Majesty thought about it, although the current alliance between Xiaoyuan Kingdom and Dayuan Kingdom The relationship is still strong, but the situation has changed now. The dragon species in Concubine Lin's belly accidentally disappeared. A few days ago, she went out of the palace privately, and there was no news for a few days. I dare to say that if this continues, the alliance between the two countries will sooner or later If you want to disperse, since this is the case, His Majesty should seize the opportunity to eradicate Lie Yunguo in one fell swoop."

"But Lieyun Kingdom has no intention of invading our Dayuan Kingdom."

"Has Your Majesty forgotten the Battle of Chengye six years ago?"

Mentioning this, Mo Lian's face is not very good-looking.

Seeing that this method worked, Chu Daozhi continued to persuade: "Six years ago, Lieyun Kingdom disregarded morals and invaded Dayuan Kingdom. Back then, the soldiers approached the city and cut off the supply of the capital. If General Wen hadn't led four thousand cavalry to kill If there is a bloody road, then our Great Yuan Kingdom will no longer exist."

"I know all of this."

"Since this is the case, Your Majesty must seize the opportunity." Chu Daozhi excitedly pawed at the armrest of the wheelchair, "Now that the opportunity is in front of us, Your Majesty must be a wise ruler of the Great Yuan Kingdom and guard the century-old foundation of the late emperor."

Mo Lian looked at Chu Daozhi, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly gave a knowing smile: "I understand what you said."

Half a month later, a letter was delivered to Dongfang Yinqi.He opened the letter, carefully read the contents of the letter, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Sensing something was wrong, Shangguan Chen asked with concern: "Dongfang, what happened?"

Dongfang Yinqi handed the letter to Shangguan Chen, and turned around himself.With his hands behind his back, his thoughtful eyes drifted far away.

The letter was sent by Yaojin.

Shangguan Chen finished reading the letter carefully, and there were some unusual fluctuations in his expression.Shangguanchen walked up to Dongfang Yinqi and stood with him.

After a long time, a deep voice came to my ears: "Ah Chen, Lieyun Kingdom is going to be in trouble."

"Da Yuan Nation and Xiao Yuan Nation are going to wage war against Lie Yun Nation. This time, our chances of winning are slim."

Dongfang Yinqi naturally knew that Shangguanchen was telling the truth, that Lieyun Kingdom has a strong national power, and the people are martial arts, but if the facts were as Yaojin said in the letter, Dayuan Kingdom and Xiaoyuan Kingdom formed an alliance to attack, and Lieyun Kingdom had an enemy Second, I'm afraid I can't stand it.

"Achen, clean up these few days, I will instruct Ding Chuan to take you to my cousin in Cheng Guguo."

Shangguan Chen still stood with the same movements as before, without even raising his eyebrows, he directly refused: "No."

Anticipating that Shangguan Chen would say this, Dongfang Yinqi decided to take a persuasive approach to him: "Don't worry, if Lie Yun Country can't keep it, I will go to Cheng Gu Country to find you."

"Dongfang." The familiar breath rushed over, and Shangguanchen turned his head to look directly at Dongfang Yinqi, "Do you think I will believe this?"

The smile on Dongfang Yinqi's lips was very natural: "Why doesn't Ah Chen believe it?"

"According to your temperament, if Lieyun Kingdom really falls, you will never leave the people of Lieyun Kingdom to survive." Shangguanchen smiled slightly, and that smile was full of certainty.He stretched out a finger and poked Dongfang Yinqi's heart, "I know what kind of person you are, but you can't fool me."

The lie was exposed face to face, Dongfang Yinqi was not at all cautious.He raised his hand and grabbed the finger on his chest, and the temperature of his palm spread inch by inch through the skin: "You've always been smart, so I can't fool you. But this time, Chen, you need to listen to me." Yes, pack up your things and go to Chenggu Kingdom."

Shangguan Chen slowly pulled out his fingers, the smile on his lips was still weak: "Listen to you, why?"

Dongfang Yinqi sighed helplessly, he had always known Shangguan Chen's temperament, stubborn, extremely stubborn.

"Then tell me, what should I do so that you will listen to me?" Dongfang Yinqi never thought that he would be helpless to someone one day.However, after meeting Shangguan Chen, Dongfang Yinqi realized that he always seemed helpless in front of Shangguan Chen.

The smile on Shangguan Chen's lips gradually drifted away, he reached out and patted Dongfang Yinqi's shoulder, leaned against his ear and whispered a few words: "Whatever, I don't listen."

After all, he turned around and went back to the room.

Dongfang Yinqi stood in the courtyard, silently looking at the closed door, his heart was blocked for a while.

Later, Qu Zhen brought a group of court ladies and eunuchs to Dongfang Yinqi's bedroom, saying that he wanted to stay for dinner before going back.

That's what he said, but Shangguan Chen Dongfang Yinqi knew that the Empress Dowager must have something else to say when she came here, not just for a simple meal.

After dinner, the Empress Dowager dismissed everyone around her, leaving only Shangguan Chen and Dongfang Yinqi behind.

Dongfang Yinqi picked up the teacup, picked up the tea leaves floating in the tea water with the tea lid, and asked casually: "Mother is here, but do you have something to say to my son?"

Qu Yu didn't make any detours, and said straightforwardly: "That's right, I really have something to say to the Emperor when I come here today."

The movement of flicking the tea leaves faltered, Dongfang Yinqi raised his eyes and glanced at Shangguanchen, with a smile on his face: "Mother, please tell me."

Qu Zhen's shrewd eyes fell on Shangguan Chen: "Last time, you did a good job with Yaojin, you are a generalist."

Shangguan Chen felt bitter in his heart, he didn't know the general idea, he just wanted to save Dongfang Yinqi's life.Shangguan Chen smiled back politely and didn't say much.

Mentioning that matter, Dongfang Yinqi's complexion was not very good-looking.He knew in his heart that that incident cast a shadow on both him and Shangguan Chen.He put down the teacup in his hand, and deliberately emphasized his tone: "It's good for the mother to speak directly if she has something to say, my son is a little tired."

Qu Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a see-through smile in the deep phoenix pupils: "Since that's the case, then I will say it directly. Your Majesty, the royal family's heirs are related to the national destiny of the entire Lieyun Kingdom."

Upon hearing these words, Dongfang Yinqi understood what Qu Zhen meant: "Mother, you know very well..."

Qu Xuan didn't wait for Dongfang Yinqi to finish speaking, and directly cut off his words: "The queen mother knows that you have a heart for Mr. Shangguan, so she thought over and over again before coming up with a way to get the best of both worlds."

"My son is not allowed."

Qu Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "I haven't said the way yet, why is the emperor so eager to refuse?"

Shangguan Chen secretly tugged on Dongfang Yinqi's sleeve, signaling him to let Qu Zhen continue.

Dongfang Yin was dissatisfied, but because of Shangguanchen's persuasion, he had no choice but to keep silent.

"Young Master Shangguan knows the general idea." Qu Yu nodded with satisfaction, "In order for the Lieyun Kingdom to be inherited by future generations, the emperor must marry a woman." Qu Yu took out a scroll from his sleeve and put it on the table Up, "I have selected a few suitable women from the famous families in Lieyun Kingdom. The emperor can choose them when he has time."

Dongfang Yinqi didn't speak, and the air was steaming on his face.Shangguan Chen sat next to him without saying a word, his eyes were calm, but his face was extremely white.

"Of course, Mr. Shangguan can continue to stay in the palace, and the treatment that concubines in the harem should be treated as Mr. Shangguan will not be less. As long as the emperor completes the important task of inheriting the heirs of the Lieyun Kingdom, this palace promises not to interfere with you again."

The corners of Dongfang Yinqi's eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and the eyes that streamed out were frighteningly cold: "Perhaps the mother has also learned about the fact that Dayuan Kingdom and Xiaoyuan Kingdom are going to join forces to attack Lieyun Kingdom? The matter of expanding the harem."

"It was only when I learned about this that I felt that you should settle this matter quickly. As the queen mother of Lieyun Kingdom, it is my duty to do my best to keep Lieyun Kingdom. Of course, this is also your responsibility... "

"Is the queen mother finished?"

Dongfang Yinqi interrupted Qu Zhen with a sullen face, and didn't give Qu Zhen time to react: "If the mother finishes talking, then go back."

Qu Zhen's eyes darkened in an instant, very similar to Dongfang Yinqi's eyes when he was angry: "I haven't finished talking..."

"Come here, send the queen mother back."

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Send the queen mother back soon?!"

Dongfang Yinqi let out a low cry, and the eunuch and maid waiting outside immediately opened the door and came in.They stood in front of the Empress Dowager, with their heads lowered, tremblingly said: "Send me, my servant, send the Empress Dowager back to the palace."

Qu Yu stared at Dongfang Yinqi coldly, and his tone became more serious: "You are the emperor of Lieyun Kingdom, and you are also the belief of thousands of people. Your majesty, don't forget your identity."

The eunuchs and maids left quickly, and soon, only Shangguanchen and Dongfang Yinqi were left in the room.

Dongfang Yinqi held Shangguan Chen's hand, trying to comfort him: "Don't take what your mother said to you..."

"Your Majesty, Guard Ding has something urgent to see His Majesty."

It was Cheng An's voice.

Dongfang Yin's face froze: "What's the matter?"

Just now, the Empress Dowager had a sullen expression on her face when she left.Cheng An guessed that Dongfang Yinqi and the queen mother did not enjoy the meal comfortably.Therefore, I am a little more careful when speaking now: "Return to Your Majesty, Guard Ding said it is an important matter, and he must speak to His Majesty face to face."

Dongfang Yinqi was a little irritable, he really wanted to find a reason to send him away, but he was worried that there was really something important that could not be delayed.After thinking for a while, he shouted towards the door: "Let him in."

"Yes."

Ding Chuan opened the door and came in, his eyes seemed to ignore Shangguan Chen unintentionally, and then he saluted Dongfang Yinqi respectfully: "See Your Majesty for humble positions."

Dongfang Yinqi looked at Shangguan Chen's paler face, feeling extremely anxious.He stretched out his hand to cover the back of Shangguan Chen's hand, and patted it lightly, but he asked Ding Chuan: "Ding Chuan, why are you so anxious that you can't wait until tomorrow?"

Ding Chuan's eyes skipped Shangguan Chen again, with hesitation on his face: "A few days ago, His Majesty asked the humble official to investigate the matter, and there is a result."

Dongfang Yinqi was worried about Shangguan Chen, so he didn't listen carefully to Ding Chuan's words, so he replied casually: "What's the result, let's hear it."

"Your Majesty." Ding Chuan looked at Dongfang Yinqi with hesitation on his face, "Should I let Mr. Shangguan go to rest first?"

Cold sweat rolled down Shangguan Chen's forehead, and Dongfang Yinqi was so anxious that he couldn't help raising his voice: "Just say it!"

Ding Chuan had no choice but to look away: "Your Majesty, not many people know about that matter. It took me more than ten days to find out about the young master of Fengyue Villa and Zhu Yan."

Dongfang Yinqi quickly glanced at Ding Chuan, seeing his troubled face, Dongfang Yinqi immediately understood, and immediately changed his words: "I'm tired from seeing Achen, I will send Achen back to the room first, and we will talk about this matter when I come back."

Ding Chuan understood: "Yes."

Dongfang Yinqi stretched out his hand to help the people around him, Shangguanchen seemed to gain strength suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Ding Chuan in a nonchalant way: "How are Yueliang and the others?"

"Achen, you are tired, go back and rest first, I will talk to you after I have a clear understanding of the future."

With a bad premonition in his heart, Shangguanchen suddenly broke free from Dongfang Yinqi's hand, and walked up to Ding Chuan trembling.He raised his face and grasped Ding Chuan's arm with both hands.There was water in Shangguan Chen's eyes, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He didn't know whether he was too excited or sad: "Ding Chuan, tell me, what happened to Yueliang and the others?"

Looking at such a pair of clear and sad eyes, Ding Chuan suddenly couldn't bear to lie to him.He opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice full of unbearable: "They are dead."

Shangguan Chen dropped his hands powerlessly, and tears welled up in his eyes.Bright teardrops rolled out of his eyes and fell to the ground from his pale chin.He looked at Ding Chuan calmly, and smiled suddenly. In that smile, there was sadness, helplessness, but no warmth: "How did they die?"

Ding Chuan leaned forward with distress, and he freed up a hand to wipe away the sad tears for Shangguan Chen. After a long while, the hand that stopped in mid-air still couldn't continue to move forward and silently retracted it: "The prison of the Ministry of Justice is on fire. , they failed to escape in time and were... burnt to death..."

"Burned to death, Yueliang and the others... were...burned to death..." Shangguan Chen walked out as he spoke, laughing and crying for a while, making people's hearts twitch badly, "Dead...they died……"

Ding Chuan wanted to go out with him, Dongfang Yinqi shook his head: "Ah Chen and Yue Liang have been close friends for many years, now that they are gone, Ah Chen feels very uncomfortable, let him cry."

In the yard, under the moonlight, the thin figure was crying so hard that he couldn't straighten up, his slender shoulders were shaking violently in the autumn wind.The wind at night was very cool, Shangguan Chen didn't seem to feel the coolness, he laughed and cried all over, as if he was in a daze.

Not long after, the man who looked like a candle in the wind suddenly raised his head, and a mouthful of blood sprayed in the cool autumn wind. His whole body seemed to be a soulless shell, and he slowly fell backwards.

"Achen!!!"

"Shangguan Chen!!!"
