First, the hem of Song Xian's clothes turned over the door, and then Sui'er's shadow.

Xiao Lingming lowered his eyelids, watching Sui'er's shadow step by step following her footsteps into a place where he could not see, he felt sour in his eyes.

This might be the last side.

Xiao Lingming wanted to stop her, at least talk to her one last time, and listen to her voice again.

But he knew in his heart that Sui'er couldn't see anything tricky, but Song Xian was suspicious.This desperate understanding forced him to bite the choked broken "Sui'er" on the tip of his teeth and choked it in his throat.

It wasn't until the creaking sound of the door of the inner hall being opened that it reached Xiao Lingming's ears, and then he spit out the breath with a slight smell of blood along with the tears welling out of his eyes.

……

Although Sui'er was sitting on the frame with Song Xian, she was suffocating in her heart, and it was hard to tell Song Xian, so she just lowered her head sullenly, wishing she could be separated from Song Xian by the Great Wall.

Song Xian lifted the curtain of the car, "Lanting, go to the mansion and answer, and tell me that I have other important matters, so I won't go back today." He then ordered: "Go to Ningyuan."

After Song Xian gave his instructions, he looked at Sui'er again, his eyes could not hide the tiredness, and he still spoke politely, "Please trouble my aunt to stay with me for two days."

"It's your arrangement." Although Sui'er was angry with him, she knew how to measure it. She nodded, but couldn't help asking after waiting for a while, "Is there anything else for the lord? The empress told the slave to take good care of you." If it's not an important matter, why don't you put it on hold for a day or two, and wait until your body recovers..."

"It's nothing, it's just that my concubine's eyes and ears are smart in the mansion, so it's just for the sake of caution." Song Xian said casually with lowered eyelids.

Song Xian rested his head with his head closed and his eyes closed. Today he encountered a great change that he hadn't seen in a long time, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he really didn't have much energy.

Song Xian had a good look that could easily coax his daughters to soften their hearts, and at the moment he was curled up in a corner of the carriage with a slightly haggard look.

Sui'er glanced at his pitiful appearance twice, and then lost her anger, and said in a twisted manner, "You can soak in the bath for a while, and the marks on your body will disappear quickly." Good-looking, good-tempered, saints like empresses, not to mention you..."

"But empress is unusual in the heart of a sage. He is not an ordinary concubine in the harem. If you make a mistake like this, it will cause a great disaster."

……

"Okay, go back and serve the lord, and bring a message to His Highness, just say, 'I know, the lord is busy with business and needs to pay attention to his body.'" Yu Ya explained, got up and sent Lanting out in person.

However, the gentle and virtuous expression on her face changed completely when she turned around and took a step into the room. Wen Yue quickly came up to help her, and persuaded: "In case His Highness really has something to do, there is a group of people left. People are still following from afar, don't get angry, wait for people to talk back before talking."

"Your Highness has any official business that you want to take with the female family members in the palace." Yu Ya snorted, "You said that our concubine mother and concubine are very capable, and people like emperor father can be surrounded by one hand, and there are not many people under him. let."

Her long and narrow eyes were raised slightly because of raising her eyebrows, and she looked extremely sharp, "I have never heard of this aunt in the inner palace so unscrupulously looking for a future for herself."

……

Two days later, the sage went back to Luan first, but he did not see King Cheng accompanying him. He only said that the emperor sent another errand.

Xiao Lingming had nightmares every night for the past two days, and he was terribly frightened. Later, he didn't sleep anymore. He just leaned on the table and read.

There were no ghosts in the nightmare, and he couldn't even remember what he had dreamed of, only waking up repeatedly in trembling and cold sweat all over his back.

After two days of being in a daze like this, the sage Huiluan Li Fu personally conveyed his order to serve in Ganquan Palace.

Li Fu's attitude was the same as usual, silent and respectful.

Because he was going to Ganquan Palace, Xiao Lingming didn't use any decorations, he only wore loose clothes and his long hair was no more than the red satin tied between the waist and back by the handover man.

Emperor Wu returned to the palace late at night, so he should have never seen anyone, he was the first one.

This has always been like this, but this time "always like this" made him extremely terrified.

When Xiao Lingming stepped into the hall where Tangquan was, barefoot and single-clothes full of apprehension, the inside was already filled with fragrant fragrance and the hall was full of mist.

Emperor Wu was leaning on the couch, also barefoot, carefully reading a thin book.He didn't take off the golden crown, but changed into a single shirt except for the dragon robe. He was leaning back at this moment, revealing a bit of his strong chest.

Hearing the sound of Xiao Lingming coming in, he beckoned to him indiscriminately, "Come here."

Xiao Lingming walked by the pool, and the hot spring water gushing out from the pool wet his insteps and clothes.

The ground was slippery and he walked very slowly.

When he arrived beside Emperor Wu, Xiao Lingming knelt down obediently by the couch, took the wine cup from Li Fu, and gently raised his hand to offer it to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu took it, but didn't use it. Instead, he seemed to ask casually, "Where's Sui'er?"

The three words were written lightly and skillfully, but it seemed like a huge boulder fell on his head. Xiao Lingming was so shocked that he almost couldn't catch it.

Song Yu didn't attack directly, does that mean there is still room for maneuver?

Xiao Lingming managed to calm his thunderous heartbeat, and maintained his usual tone of voice, "The girl has been thinking about it since she went out, so I let her go out to play for a few days, and she will come back tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, Emperor Wu smiled lightly.

Xiao Lingming knelt down with his eyebrows down, the sound of gurgling water in the hall gradually disappeared from his ears, and was replaced by his own trembling heartbeat as vivid as a drum.

The Son of Heaven got up from the couch holding the wine glass in his hand, and squatted down in front of Xiao Lingming again. He looked at Xiao Lingming's drooping eyelids, deep-set eye sockets, nose tip with obvious cartilage, and wet lips inch by inch.

Suddenly, the Son of Heaven raised his wrist without warning, and poured a glass of wine onto Xiao Lingming's face in its entirety.

"Really?!" Emperor Wu threw away the wine glass after pouring it out, and raised his voice to ask back.

Xiao Lingming took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

--coming.

——At last the day has come.

When things came to an end, he calmed down instead.

The spicy wine rushed down the tip of his chin and rushed down to the depths of his flesh hidden by the white single clothes.

"I thought you were afraid that I would punish her for letting you do things. The first thing you did when you returned to the palace was to take her life. So you sent her out first, and then used your own life to appease me. No. Is it?"

Xiao Lingming still just bowed his head and knelt, Emperor Wu was furious when he saw his resignation to his fate, and he slapped him across the face.

This time the saint was furious, and his subordinates showed no mercy with all their strength.Xiao Lingming was hit by this slap and fell sideways to the ground. He didn't feel any pain for a while, but only felt his ears beating and roaring, followed by a hot, sticky liquid in his mouth.

After he swallowed the bloody saliva slowly, he felt a burning pain on his cheek.The tears that had become a habit rushed out of the eye sockets.

Xiao Lingming supported the white jade floor tiles with a layer of warm water under his hands, and sat up stiffly.His mind was blank, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Emperor Wu, but before he could move, the Emperor pinched his chin and forced his face away.

The emperor was extremely angry, and he exerted great force, Xiao Lingming moved his lips, but he couldn't open his mouth under the force of the emperor.

Emperor Wu lowered his head and looked at him coldly, those eyes that were always deep and not showing any emotions or anger were staring at him without blinking at this moment.

Suddenly, the Son of Heaven withdrew his hand and pinched him in the opposite direction, grabbed his neck and dragged him to the edge of the pool, then let go, grabbed Xiao Lingming's hair from the back of his head, and pressed his entire face into the hot spring In the pool water.

Before Xiao Lingming could defend himself, the warm spring water suddenly poured into his mouth, nose and lungs. He just struggled subconsciously, and forced himself to take off his strength little by little.

Even Li Fu was taken aback by what the Son of Heaven did. He plopped down on his knees and begged in horror, "Saint! Saint!! Think twice! This is a noble man!"

The strength of Emperor Wu's subordinates was still fierce, and he glanced back at Li Fu, but still grabbed Xiao Lingming's hair and lifted his face that was firmly pressed under the water by himself.

Because the time of being drowned in the water was short, Xiao Lingming fell on the ground and coughed out water after the shackles were loosened, and he recovered quickly.He panted deeply and raised his face, but his lips were a little sickly red.

The Son of Heaven looked at his heart-moving face even in such a state of embarrassment, gritted his teeth and asked harshly, "What have you been thinking about all day long?"

"The third one!" The emperor took a deep breath, "That's the third one! He's my own son!"

"What about me?!" Xiao Lingming asked sharply without warning, with a sharp tear in his tone at the end of the sentence.He clutched his chest and coughed twice violently, trying to calm down the pain in his heart, trembling and pinching the corner of the emperor's clothes, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What is tomorrow in your eyes?"
