A traitor

Su Qinglang, led by the servants, came to the palace where Mei Liusheng was. At that time, he was in the palace, and several servants were showing him the new dragon robes made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Su Qinglang stopped at the door, watching their affairs with cold eyes, Mei Liusheng was looking at the decorations on the dragon robe, when he raised his eyes and saw Su Qinglang coming, he couldn't help being embarrassed, ordered someone to take the things down, and then walked up to him and said : "Qinglang, you are here."

Now that he has recovered his identity and seized the throne, his tone of voice is becoming more and more submissive.

Su Qinglang ignored him, just turned his body on the spot, leaving him with an indifferent profile.

Mei Liusheng said again: "These days have wronged you."

Ever since he was forced into the palace that day, Su Qinglang didn't know how to flatter him, and after confronting him in court, under the pressure from Pei Yan and the others, Mei Liusheng had no choice but to guard him first, and after a lot of setbacks, he was released. Su Qinglang survived.

Seeing that Su Qinglang didn't speak, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The environment in the dungeon is harsh, I'm afraid your health is not good again, I'll let the imperial doctor come and take a look at you."

Su Qinglang turned his head: "No need..."

He looked at Mei Liusheng again, with a hint of sarcasm in his brows: "If Mr. Mei really wants to do something good, why not keep his promise and let the prince and princess go."

Seeing that he still called her by this name, Mei Liusheng felt a little displeased, but it soon dissipated.

He replied: "What I promised, I will definitely do it."

"Then thank you, Mrs. Mei..." Su Qinglang smiled mockingly again, and after speaking, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Looking at his back as he was about to leave, Mei Liusheng continued, "I only said to let the prince and the princess leave, but I didn't say that Lord Su can leave."

Su Qinglang turned to look at him, wondering what he wanted to do, and heard Mei Liusheng say: "At the beginning, I promised that as long as you fetch the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, I would spare the lives of the prince and princess, but I didn't say anything. You can let them go, Master Su, if you really want to do so, you have to agree to my terms."

Hearing what he said, Su Qinglang became alert: "What conditions?"

Mei Liusheng turned his back, folded his arms and said, "I want you to stay in the palace until I let you go."

"You..." Su Qinglang clenched his fingers and glared at him.

"Angry?" Seeing that he finally reacted, Mei Liusheng pulled a triumphant smile from the corner of his lips, and said again: "If Mr. Su is not willing, you don't have to agree."

He is clear about Su Qinglang's weakness, as long as the prince and princess are still in his hands, it is impossible for him not to agree to this condition.

Sure enough, after hearing the words, Su Qinglang fell silent and didn't agree, but he didn't leave either.

Mei Liusheng continued: "I have ordered the pear garden to be tidied up. From today onwards, you will live there."

Su Qinglang was startled again, and looked at him in disbelief: "You... you let me live in Liyuan?"

Mei Liusheng still had a leisurely smile on his face, and looked at him half-jokingly: "What's wrong?"

Su Qinglang kept his face cold again, and turned his head reluctantly.

A hidden allusion known to many people in this world. In the emperor's harem, apart from three thousand beauties, there are also forbidden male pets. Since the establishment of the Southern Tang dynasty, many emperors have had a few male pets, and those people lived there. Among the pear orchards.

When he arrived at the first emperor's place, because he didn't like male sex very much, he ordered people to close the Liyuan. It was also from then on that the formerly bustling Liyuan was completely deserted, and the emperor who had just died had no Long Yang. good.Therefore, adhering to the meaning of the first emperor, he has never accepted male pets into the palace.

Although the emperor is dead, Su Qinglang is still the Minister of Rites and the son of an official. He has been favored since he was a child, and he has read the books of sages. To him, such a decision is simply the greatest insult!

Mei Liusheng didn't think so much, he only thought that he would soon be the emperor, and no one in this world could stop him from doing anything, including getting Su Qinglang.

With Su Qinglang's temperament, he would definitely refuse such an insulting and shameful condition, but now, the prince and princess are still in custody in the palace. If they stay here for a day, they will be in more danger. The emperor will arrest them before his death. Entrusted to him, even if he died, he would still fulfill his promise.

So, he stood in the hall for a while in anger, and finally turned and left without saying a word with a cold face.

Mei Liusheng stood where he was, watching his leaving back, and gradually fell into deep thought.

After a long time, the servant came to report: "Your Highness, Miss Pei is asking to see you."

Mei Liusheng was startled, and realized who he was talking about, Miss Pei, and couldn't help but lose interest, and said flatly: "Tell her, the king is not free right now."

"But……"

Seeing that he was about to leave, the servant hurriedly interjected: "Miss Pei said that Your Highness must have been very tired from preparing for the celebration these two days. She specially cooked a medicinal meal for His Highness to recuperate."

Because of Su Qinglang's promise to live in Liyuan, Mei Liusheng was originally in a good mood, but now he was stopped by someone who didn't understand him, and he couldn't help but stare, already displeased.

"Since you know that the king is tired, don't bother me any more. The king is going to rest, so let her go back."

After speaking, he paused again, and said to the servant meaningfully: "Who is the master in this palace, you can decide for yourself."

The servant was taken aback by his accusation, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty. Mei Liusheng's face was as cold as ice, he snorted coldly, and walked away.

For the next few days, Pei Ying came every day, each time bringing homemade medicinal meals and snacks, but Mei Liusheng never saw her.

That day, after Mei Liusheng finished his work, he went to visit Su Qinglang in the Liyuan as usual, and just as he entered the palace, he saw him sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard.

The pear orchard, the reason why it is called the pear orchard, has nothing to do with the place where operas are sung on the street, but because there are many pear trees planted here. Very gratifying.

With Su Qinglang's back turned to him, Mei Liusheng leaned against the fence beside him, and Mei Liusheng walked towards him, only to find that he was holding a book in his hand, and fell asleep with his head propped up.

Mei Liusheng paused in front of him, looked at him quietly for a while, and saw that Su Qinglang showed no signs of waking up.So, he reached out and took down the book in his hand.

Taking a look with his lowered eyes, he found that what he was reading was a travelogue of miscellaneous studies. The author and date were unknown, but it was considered a good book.

He remembered that there were no books here in Liyuan, and he also remembered that Su Qinglang liked books about travel notes and strange things the most, and he didn't know where he found them.

Put the book on the seat next to him, lean down and hug him up, and walk back to the bedroom.

During this period, Su Qinglang didn't wake up, but he just walked to the door, maybe the movement of opening the door was a little big, which woke him up.

Seeing that Mei Liusheng was hugging him, he couldn't help struggling, and glared at Mei Liusheng, but he was hugged even tighter, with no intention of letting him go at all.

Mei Liusheng glanced at him and warned, "Don't make trouble..."

He carried Su Qinglang back into the room and put him on the bed, but as soon as he got close to the edge of the bed, Su Qinglang immediately stood up, not only that, but also kept a distance from him warily.

Seeing this, Mei Liusheng couldn't help but smiled wryly, and explained: "You fell asleep just now, I was afraid that you would catch a cold, and I didn't want to wake you up, so I carried you back."

After a pause, he added: "Here, if you don't want to, I won't do anything to you."

Su Qinglang still didn't open his mouth, just like a few days ago, Mei Liusheng couldn't help sighing, after a moment of silence, he said: "Qinglang, I'll find the imperial doctor to show you."

In the past few days, he has clearly felt that Su Qinglang's spirit is not as good as before, perhaps because of his forced palace, and the death of the emperor and Xu Jin, he has suffered some shocks, and he has been thinking too much, otherwise he will not be like this now, While reading a book, he fell asleep in a daze.

However, Su Qinglang seemed determined, and didn't want to have any entanglements with him, nor did he want to bear any care and kindness from him.

She just turned her head away and said indifferently: "No need..."

After a moment of silence, he said again: "When do you plan to let the prince and princess go?"

Mei Liusheng was furious in his heart, and finally couldn't help it: "It's them again! Don't tell me you have nothing to say to me except them?"

"I let you stay here, stay by my side, do you really feel wronged?"

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and his face became ugly, and it could even be said to be filled with overwhelming anger and unwillingness.

When he came to him, he grabbed Su Qinglang's wrist: "Tell me, are you still thinking about that Xie Yu, are you still thinking about that Qin Huan?"

After all, Mei Liusheng is a martial artist with great strength in his hands, and Su Qinglang's body is too weak to withstand his strength. During his questioning, his face turned pale, and he said: "They all People who are already dead, what are you always thinking about?"

Su Qinglang struggled a few times without breaking free, finally looked at him with a frown: "You hurt me."

Only then did Mei Liusheng come back to his senses, and suddenly let go of his hand. Thinking of his gaffe, he couldn't help feeling even more regretful, lowering his head and saying, "I'm sorry, I..."

He closed his eyes, and could only say helplessly: "Qinglang, can you stop torturing yourself..."

Su Qinglang didn't answer, but heard an servant outside the door say: "Master Su, Miss Pei is asking to see you."

When Mei Liusheng heard "Miss Pei" at first, he thought that Pei Ying was looking for him again, so he couldn't help adding fuel to the fire, and became even more irritable: "No see!"

But seeing Su Qinglang step forward, walked to the door and said quietly: "Please come in."

"Qinglang..." Hearing what he said, Mei Liusheng couldn't help but stop him.

Seeing that Su Qinglang turned around again, looked at him and said, "She's here to look for me." The implication is that it has nothing to do with you.

Of course Mei Liusheng knew what Pei Ying's purpose was, but the most annoying thing was that Su Qinglang still saw her knowing this.

Seeing the servant leave, he stood in a stalemate with Su Qinglang in the room for a while, seeing that he ignored his signs at all, he finally snorted and went out with a cold face.
