"Because you don't trust Ling Xiao, Your Majesty." Ling Xiao stared directly at the emperor's double pupils with his transparent eyes.
Boldly said: "Your Majesty, you must test Ling Xiao by beating around the bush, instead of directly asking Ling Xiao what he thinks?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his double pupils were dark, and he stared at Ling Xiao with deep eyes, Ling Xiao looked directly at this gaze, his eyes were calm, without the slightest intention of dodging.
Seeing this, the emperor felt a little rippling in his heart, the little eunuch who spoke cautiously in front of him finally turned into the current Ling Xiao who dared to question him.
This is the ultimate nature of this person, frank and direct, which makes him very novel.
The emperor got up and walked in front of Ling Xiao, stared fixedly at Ling Xiao for a while, his eyes were penetrating, as if he had seen Ling Xiao inside and out.
This gave Ling Xiao the illusion of being regarded as a rape, a sense of shame rose from his heart, and he couldn't help but feel hot on his face.
He called the emperor softly and softly: "Emperor... Your Majesty..."
This voice, however, called out to the deepest part of the emperor's heart, making the emperor's heart so soft that it was in a mess.
The emperor couldn't help wanting to know the real side of the person in front of him, so he asked, "Then tell me, what do you think?"
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then said rather cunningly: "What Ling Xiao thinks in his heart is definitely not what you think, Your Majesty."
The cunning in Ling Xiao's eyes naturally did not escape the emperor's eyes, and the half-answered words did not satisfy the emperor.
The emperor stretched out his hand and squeezed Ling Xiao's chin with one hand, making Ling Xiao look into his eyes, with nowhere to hide his emotions and thoughts, he asked again: "What do I think?"
"..." Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, obviously the emperor was dissatisfied with his answer just now.
Ling Xiao pursed his lips, under the gaze of the emperor, he didn't dare to speak nonsense, but he didn't dare to say what was actually going on.
In desperation, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say for a while, and was quite flustered in front of the emperor.
He raised and lowered his hand several times, not knowing where to put it, his lips opened and closed, but he didn't say a word.
He frowned, anxiously trying to express something, but he couldn't express anything, revealing a simple and honest attitude.
The emperor had a panoramic view of Ling Xiao like this, and thought it was funny, so he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
This curved arc was reflected in Ling Xiao's eyes, but it gave Ling Xiao the illusion of being ridiculed. After a moment of relief, the heat rushed to his head, and his face turned completely red.
His heart beat faster and faster, giving Ling Xiao the illusion that he was about to jump out.
But the emperor who let himself be like this squinted his eyes comfortably, with a gesture of appreciation.
Ling Xiao glared at the emperor from embarrassment, and blurted out his dissatisfaction with the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't you know what's on your mind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao regretted it. If he said these words to ordinary people, there would be absolutely no problem, but the person he was facing was the emperor.
Ling Xiao timidly glanced at the emperor, only to find that the emperor's face was not angry, but rather strange.
What Ling Xiao didn't know was that.
His dissatisfaction, in front of his soft voice and flushed cheeks, did not express the displeasure that he wanted to express, but instead had a hint of coquettishness that irked people's heart.
It was like a cat stretched out its pink claws and gently scratched the emperor's heart, making the emperor's heart itch instantly.
The emperor couldn't help getting closer to Ling Xiao, and before Ling Xiao could react in the future, his forehead was pressed against his.
Ling Xiao was startled. At close range, the emperor's gaze became even deeper. The double pupils were as black as ink, and one couldn't see down at a glance. It was terrifyingly deep, but even so, Ling Xiao's gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet. It's normal, staring at it and can't move away.
"Bang, bang, bang"
I don't know whose heartbeat reverberated in the quiet space, one by one, it was heard in Ling Xiao's ears, making Ling Xiao's head dizzy.
Under the dim candlelight, the emperor's face flickered and couldn't be seen clearly, but when it was reflected in Ling Xiao's eyes, Ling Xiao felt that the emperor in front of him was so handsome, so handsome that his mouth was dry...
As if being bewitched, Ling Xiao slowly approached the emperor.
He licked lightly on the emperor's thin lips.
Touching the emperor's slightly cool thin lips, Ling Xiao woke up suddenly. He was surprised by his movements and almost jumped up, but was pulled by the emperor and wrapped in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, what fell was the emperor's domineering and lingering kiss.
"Hmm..." Ling Xiao was stunned, but the emperor's teasing gaze met his gaze, and the meaning expressed in those eyes seemed to be teasing Ling Xiao's actions just now.
Ling Xiao was dissatisfied, but his body was so weak from being kissed, he couldn't even push the emperor away.
The emperor's lips and tongue gradually deepened, and while attracting Ling Xiao's lingering agitation, it seemed to have a hint of instruction, as if telling Ling Xiao that this is the real kiss.
Ling Xiao was dizzy from being kissed, and his resisting hand turned into pandering at some point.
Under the dim candlelight, two intertwined shadows were reflected on the doors and windows, creating a sense of ambiguity in the room.
The atmosphere was just right, Ling Xiao in front of him, feeling refreshed, his eyes began to loosen.
The desire is strong, and the bodies of the two gradually heat up.
The emperor restrained himself, but Ling Xiao lost his mind, and unknowingly, he ripped the clothes on his body indiscriminately.
Pray that the irritating heat of the body will be dissipated through the clothing.
But at this moment, the emperor suddenly stopped his movements and pushed Ling Xiao a little further away.
Ling Xiao's clothes were disheveled and he stood in front of the emperor at a loss, his absent-minded expression carried a soul-devouring bewitchment, luring people to come closer and wipe him clean. The emperor forbearably frowned and glanced away with difficulty.
"I feel your heart."
The emperor's voice was sexy and hoarse, which made Ling Xiao's whole body go numb.
Ling Xiao opened his eyes blankly, and then moved towards the emperor.
The emperor pursed his lips, turned and walked towards the door.
"Tomorrow we have to go back to the imperial court, you should rest earlier, I will go out to blow some air."
After speaking, the emperor opened the door and walked out, his pace was a little faster than before.
As soon as the door was opened, the cool wind from outside blew in, blowing away the scorching heat of the whole room, and also blowing back Ling Xiao's sanity.
Only then did Ling Xiao suddenly wake up from his desire, watching the emperor leave, Ling Xiao recalled the scene just now, his cheeks blushed.
He was kissed by the emperor again so that he lost his mind.
He also made such an action as if to seduce the emperor.
Ling Xiao wished he could hit himself to death with a piece of tofu.
Moreover, the emperor misunderstood his own intentions.
Misunderstand…
Thinking of this word, Ling Xiao closed his eyes complicatedly, did the emperor really misunderstand
Or are you in the game at all
Thinking about it, Ling Xiao shook his head suddenly, preventing himself from thinking deeply.
The next day, when Ling Xiao got up, there was only one person guarding the bed.
This person was dressed in a black outfit, with a long sword behind his back, his face was covered by a face scarf, and he was dressed like a knight.
Ling Xiao had seen him before, he was the one who was waiting in front of the emperor on the battlefield.
Seeing Ling Xiao wake up, he knelt down in front of Ling Xiao.
"My subordinate, Anya, is ordered by the master to bring the emperor back to the court."
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the sky outside, it was obviously bright already, he asked with some doubts: "Where's the emperor?"
"Master is already one step ahead." An Ya replied concisely.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, the emperor left first
Did something happen to Mu Guo
Ling Xiao wanted to ask An Ya, but An Ya's face was expressionless, under a respectful expression, his eyebrows were slightly drawn, with a sense of distance that made people daunting.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao understood that asking this person would lead to nothing, so he simply stopped talking.
Just ordered: "Then you go to prepare? Besides you, who else is there?"
"Dark fragrance, dark fragrance, dark current, dark chant."
Ling Xiao was taken aback, these are all named An
He looked at An Ya with questioning eyes, but An Ya didn't seem to see him, and quietly knelt in front of Ling Xiao, waiting for Ling Xiao's order.
Ling Xiao sighed and said: "Okay, you go down and call Anxiang in."
Ling Xiao called someone at random.
Then, a woman in a black dress walked in.
Coincidentally, this is the maid who accompanied him to the dungeon yesterday.
Ling Xiao was slightly surprised, An Xiang knelt down in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao sat back on the side of the bed and said, "Get up, is it because something happened that the emperor is in such a hurry to go back?"
An Xiang shook her head: "The subordinates don't know, but a country cannot be without a king for a day, the master has been away from the palace for a long time."
The implication is that the emperor is going back to deal with political affairs...
Ling Xiao was quite satisfied with this answer, so he asked: "Then Lan Wei... how about General Lan, did you go back together?"
An Xiang lowered her head and replied: "Yes, the master has left five subordinates to escort the young master back to the palace."
As she said that, An Xiang seemed to be worried that Ling Xiao felt that there were few people, and replied: "Young master, don't worry, the five subordinates are all master's capable subordinates, their martial arts are second only to General Lan, and they will not let you be harmed."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao paused slightly, knowing that An Xiang had misunderstood him, he couldn't help but find it funny and said, "I'm not worried about that."
With that said, Ling Xiao sighed and said, "I'm just wondering."
"Isn't Lan Wei expelled from the capital by the emperor? Why is he now a general?"
An Xiang paused for a moment, then bowed and said: "This... subordinates don't know, but the master has his own opinions on everything he does."
An Xiang said she didn't know, but she told herself that the emperor had his own way of doing things, it really didn't look like she didn't know at all.
I'm afraid I can't say more.
Ling Xiao didn't make things difficult for her, he changed the subject and said, "Fu Yujun... Second Prince Shao, how did the Emperor deal with it?"
An Xiang heard the words, and replied respectfully: "He agreed to the master's conditions, became the king of the Shao country, and made the Shao country a vassal state of the Mu country."
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Lan Wei really had a solution.
Ling Xiao let go of one thing in his heart, he stood up and said, "Let's go."
An Xiang was taken aback, slightly puzzled, and couldn't help calling Ling Xiao.
"Young master."
Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at An Xiang with a questioning look.
An Xiang asked: "Are you going to see him?"
After being stunned for a while, he realized that the "he" Anxiang mentioned was referring to Fu Yujun, Ling Xiao laughed dumbly, and shook his head lightly: "No, I mean let's hurry up, if we hurry up, maybe we can still catch up. Your Majesty."
Anxiang was surprised and looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and said: "Since we have already decided to return to the Mu country, it's better to see people from other countries, especially kings, less often."
An Xiang heard the words, and smiled slightly: "It seems that General Lan woke up the young master."
This was the first time Ling Xiao saw An Xiangxiao, he was a little surprised, he couldn't help but said: "It turns out that not all of you in black are facial paralyzed."
As soon as An Xiang froze, the smile on her face faded.
It was a pity for Ling Xiao to look at it, but his attention was focused on An Xiang's words.
Did Anxiang know that Lan Wei woke her up
An Xiang saw the doubts on Ling Xiao's face, so she explained: "Yesterday, the young master didn't want to see the second prince of Shao after he saw General Lan."
"Does this mean that I have listened to General Lan?" Ling Xiao bluffed, quite intending to blame An Xiang for being too assertive.
An Xiang hurriedly explained: "Of course it's more than that, the conversation between the general and you... I heard clearly."
"..." Ling Xiao pursed his lips, his complexion turning black.
An Xiang hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel and said, "My lord, calm down, this subordinate didn't do it on purpose, it's because of his profound skills..."
As she said that, An Xiang felt embarrassed at first, and then shifted: "General Lan also knows, he knows that his subordinates can hear it."
Ling Xiao was taken aback when he heard the words: "Lan Wei knows."
An Xiang said: "General Lan's skill is superior to his subordinates and others, it is impossible for him not to know how loud his subordinates can hear from your position, Young Master, I am afraid that he knows that his subordinate intends to ask him to persuade you."
"Wait." Ling Xiao interrupted An Xiang: "You said you intended to let Lan Wei persuade me?"
An Xiang hastily lowered her head, as if she knew that she had slipped up, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Ling Xiao didn't let her go, and leaned closer to her and said, "An Xiang, tell me the truth, did you... know me before?"
An Xiang froze for a moment, then shook her head quickly, trying to hide it.
Ling Xiao said: "All the attendants who follow the emperor call me the emperor when they see me, only you call me 'Young Master', the others are taciturn towards me, obviously the emperor told me not to speak much in front of me, But you are not like that, on the contrary, you are too friendly to me, did we know each other well before?"
An Xiang shook her head, her eyes dodged, not daring to face Ling Xiao directly.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao understood in his heart, this girl really...
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, pursed his lips and said coldly: "Who are you? Tell me, this is an order, Anxiang."
"Your...Young Master." An Xiang frowned, with a look of embarrassment.
Ling Xiao pressed: "If you don't tell me, then I'll ask the emperor, and tell me about your closeness to me."
An Xiang's complexion turned pale.
Ling Xiao continued: "The emperor can tolerate me being presumptuous and disobeying his orders, but I don't know if he can tolerate you."
"Young master!" An Xiang was rather annoyed: "This subordinate doesn't have the slightest intention of harming you, why should you embarrass your subordinates like this?"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao sighed softly, knelt down and looked at Anxiang who was kneeling, and said, "Then why did Anxiang make things difficult for me? Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me not to know anything?"
"What everyone knows, but I am being concealed, can you feel this feeling?"
"..." Anxiang was silent, with a troubled expression on her face. After a while, she seemed to give up struggling, and said calmly: "My lord, this subordinate does recognize you, but you don't know that it is Anxiang."
"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao pursed his lips.
An Xiang said: "The emperor once bestowed two court ladies on you, Jixiang and Fukang, do you remember?"
Ling Xiao was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't understand the relationship between this maid and An Xiang.
Could it be...
A thought flashed in Ling Xiao's mind, and he looked at Anxiang in astonishment.
An Xiang nodded in response, "Auspiciousness is An Xiang."
"..."
Seeing the shock on Ling Xiao's face, An Xiang lowered her head.
Ling Xiao rubbed his forehead and got up, the emperor had placed someone by his side from the very beginning.
"What about the other one?" Ling Xiao asked.
An Xiang said: "The other one is An Yong, you haven't seen it yet, my lord."
"That's it." Ling Xiao pursed his lips, "No wonder you keep calling me Young Master. After I was not the manager, you did tell me that you called me 'Young Master' at Prince Shao's mansion."
Dim Xiang nodded.
Ling Xiao rubbed his temples and said: "If that's the case, wouldn't the Emperor already know my secret?"
His secret naturally refers to the body of a man.
An Xiang blushed slightly: "Subordinate... You were exposed before you had time to report back to the master."
Therefore, before he was exposed, the emperor still didn't know.
Ling Xiao understood that the emperor himself said that this was the only thing he kept from him.
but…
Ling Xiao rubbed his brows wearily: "Your Majesty, how many people have you sent to lurk?"
Anxiang was silent, and said after a while: "My lord, don't try to know the master's strength, it's not something you can estimate. The master has been training secret guards and craftsmen since he was ten years old, and the number of them is immeasurable."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao shuddered, and only then did he realize what kind of a powerful character he was using to deceive earlier.
Fortunately, I have nothing to deceive him now.
In the end, Ling Xiao still failed to catch up with the emperor.
The emperor stepped on his horse and walked extremely fast, arriving in Muguo three days faster than Ling Xiao.
On the day when he returned to Muguo, the emperor waited for Ling Xiao with his people far away.
Behind the emperor was a mighty group of attendants.
When Ling Xiao got down from the carriage, the group of people shouted "Emperor Fukang."
Obviously he hasn't been canonized yet, but everyone already treats him as an emperor.
Ling Xiao was a little dazed, the emperor got off the chariot, personally stepped forward to pull Ling Xiao past him, got on the imperial chariot, and returned to the palace all the way under the spotlight.
In the palace, the emperor took him directly to the courtyard near the imperial study room, where many court ladies and eunuchs had already been waiting.
"This is where you will live in the future, do you like it?"
The emperor said to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao stared blankly at the courtyard in front of him.
The corridors are deep, there are pavilions and pavilions, and there are well-trimmed flowers and plants everywhere. There is even a small pond in the courtyard, and there are ornamental fish in the pond.
As soon as people walk in, they can be seen scrambling to emerge from the water.
There is also a separate small kitchen in this place. There is a small door behind the small kitchen, which leads directly to the procurement department. Usually, the things here can be purchased by the procurement department and sent here directly.
This courtyard is like an independent small world.
It can be seen that the emperor really took a lot of thought to prepare here.
Ling Xiao was a little moved in his heart.
He lied to the emperor, not only did the emperor not blame him, but also prepared such a nice courtyard for him, the emperor treated him sincerely.
It would be great if it was a woman, Ling Xiao couldn't help thinking.
A female version of the emperor naturally appeared in my mind, tall and cold, with a...
Suddenly being chilled by his own imagination, Ling Xiao shuddered, not daring to think about it anymore.
The emperor is the emperor, and the emperor is fine.
The emperor, who had been paying attention to Ling Xiao all the time, saw Ling Xiao's complexion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Xiao shook his head abruptly to express that it was nothing. Seeing that the emperor was still inquiring, Ling Xiao quickly pursed his lips and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, Ling Xiao likes this place very much."
The emperor saw this. Looking at Ling Xiao for a while, he didn't make things difficult for Ling Xiao anymore, he just patted Ling Xiao's hand lightly: "As long as you like it, just tell me if you need anything."
"Okay." Ling Xiao responded.
Although there is a sense of shame of being pampered, everything is pampered, as long as there is need to speak, it is the first time Ling Xiao has experienced such a comfortable life.
And this kind of experience, Ling Xiao didn't hate it.
On the contrary, he kind of fell in love with this feeling.
The emperor didn't stay here for too long, he had accumulated too many things to deal with, it was not easy to find time to pick up Ling Xiao.
Now, he has gone back to the imperial study to deal with official business.
Before leaving, the emperor sent Xiao Lizi to accompany Ling Xiao.
Xiao Lizi has now been promoted to chief eunuch, and the clothes he wears are no longer the simple blue eunuch clothes, but red robes embroidered with auspicious clouds.
The red robe thought that Xiao Lizi would become more and more handsome, that smile was imprinted in Ling Xiao's eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he was proud of himself.
Ling Xiao couldn't hold back, stepped forward and shouted sarcastically: "Yo, Eunuch Li."
Xiao Lizi was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and he bowed and said, "President Ling... no, Your Majesty, you are making a slave like this."
"Zhesha?" Ling Xiao sneered.
If this little Lizi was still on his side, he would have been wiped out by the emperor long ago. The emperor can tolerate him now. One of them may be because he is happy, but the most important one is because he has no power and cannot harm him. any threat.
When I was Director Ling, the emperor tried his best to evade his rights, and the little Lizi he found, judging from his current status, had long been on the emperor's side.
Although, he understood that Xiao Lizi's behavior was justifiable, but Ling Xiao was still a little upset.
He couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Lizi, and Xiao Lizi's expression froze, knowing that he had offended this nobleman, he couldn't help but licked his lips, thinking of a way to please Ling Xiao, he pretended to make the servants retreat.
Leaning closer to Ling Xiao, he said, "Your Majesty, there's nothing you can do about it, Little Li. In order to survive, you see, the Emperor already bestowed the death of the original 'Boss Ling'."
Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't respond, Xiao Lizi continued: "When the emperor bestowed the death of 'Boss Ling', everyone in the palace was in a state of panic. They were all afraid of being implicated because they had something to do with you."
"Little Lizi is soft-spoken, there is really no other way. Fortunately, the emperor is auspicious, and the emperor really loves you, so death is just a cover."
Saying that, Xiao Lizi leaned closer to Ling Xiao and said, "Your Majesty loves you so much, I really have nothing to say, Your Majesty, you don't know, the first thing your Majesty came back two days ago was to see if the courtyard was finished. , I have to go through everything myself to make sure there are no omissions, and then I will wait for you to come back and bring you here."
"Think about it, who in this palace can have this honor." Xiao Lizi said with a sullen face, as if he was the one who was favored.
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes.
Xiao Lizi touched his nose in self-indulgence, his lowered eyes seemed to be thinking of something, a light flashed, and he spoke again: "Your Majesty, you don't know, when you come back, someone in this palace is worried."
"Sorrow?" Ling Xiao rolled his eyelids.
Xiao Lizi was interested in seeing Ling Xiao. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "No."
"The emperor wants to be canonized as the emperor this time, and he has prepared such a place for you. In this palace, the emperor's concubines Xian, Li and Ran are probably already too jealous."
"This virtuous concubine has always been virtuous and virtuous, and will not openly argue with you. Concubine Li has no relatives and no one to rely on in Muguo, and she dare not take any action, but this concubine Ran is different. After your lord stepped down, his influence has been expanding. The emperor treats her better than the other two concubines on weekdays. Considering that her father is more powerful, it can be said that before you came, this harem was her only favorite. .”
Having said so much, Xiao Lizi swallowed, cleared his dry throat and said, "Now that you are here, isn't she the one who is most affected? Tell me, can she not be jealous."
Although Ling Xiao knew that what Xiao Lizi said was reasonable, he was also someone who followed Mo Qi in the harem, so he naturally knew the pros and cons of it.
It's just that these words are always unpleasant to listen to, and it's hard to hear.
Moreover, what does it matter to him that these concubines compete for favor
Could it be that he still wants to grab a man from a group of women
Thinking about it felt terrible, Ling Xiao shook his head.
Seeing this, Xiao Lizi thought that Ling Xiao was negating his words, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't believe me, what this servant said is true."
"And concubine Xian, you have to pay attention too."
Little Lizi approached Ling Xiao and said: "Although she has no background, she must have something special to be able to stay in the harem for so long. I heard that a maid in red appeared next to her recently. This maid is extremely beautiful, Concubine Xian I often take her around the emperor, it can be said that I have no bad intentions."
"The girl in red, I have seen once before, she was shy and timid towards the emperor, and she gave a glance, the servant looked at it, it is really not a peace of mind."
"The servant also found out that the woman in red is called Hongye."
Red leaves
Ling Xiao was surprised.
"Your Majesty, this servant tells you..."
"Okay!" The little plum chattered endlessly, but Ling Xiao interrupted him irritably.
Can I know more about the character of the concubine in the harem than he does
Did you help Mo Qi deal with them less in your previous life
The only thing he heard that was useful was Hong Ye, who was beside Concubine Xian.
What is the relationship between this red leaf and Concubine Xian
Did the emperor spare Hongye
Impossible, as far as Ling Xiao knew, the emperor was not so easy to forgive his subordinates.
Then, why is Hongye all right and still in the palace
Ling Xiao was a little dazed.
Speaking of which, Concubine Xian is also very suspicious.
Being able to stay in the palace for so long without any background, it is reasonable to say that the emperor is very fond of him.
But the emperor respected her as a guest, although there was some love, but more, it seemed that he only liked her character, and entrusted her to manage the harem for many years.
But for so many years, the emperor's concubines have come and gone, Concubine Li, Concubine Ran and others have appeared one after another to favor her, but her status has never been shaken.
Even in his previous life, Ling Xiao failed to let Concubine Xian step down in order to let Mo Qi sit on the queen's seat.
The management of the harem is still the concubine Xian.
This really made Ling Xiao puzzled.
