The white smoke of the incense burner comes out from the holes all around and scatters in the air along the exquisite and gorgeous bronze walls.
Emperor Xuan Yan was lying on his side on the brocade carpet, his eyes half-closed. An Bin, who was rubbing his shoulders and back, couldn't tell for a moment whether he was awake or asleep.
It's been half an hour since Tianrong Guard's men left, and they came to report what happened at Yanyun Camp.
Emperor Xuan Yan's face was plain, making it difficult to see his emotions and anger. After listening quietly, he asked people to retreat, and then he remained lying on his side and said nothing.
"Your Majesty," Concubine An finally couldn't bear it anymore and called softly, "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"
"Yeah." Emperor Xuan Yan responded with a light nose.
"Pfft," Concubine An laughed softly, "Your Majesty, how can you still answer others when you are asleep?"
Emperor Xuan Yan opened his eyes and his eyes fell on An Bin's young and beautiful face.
An Bin's eyes seemed to be full of autumn water, and she looked at him with a smile.
"What happened at Yanyun Camp," Emperor Xuanyan said, "what do you think, my beloved concubine?"
"I don't understand anything about the previous dynasty," An Bin said with a smile.
"You see, until now, Li Dongyan hasn't sent anyone to report to me," Emperor Xuanyan said, "This means that he doesn't take me seriously anymore."
"Your Majesty," Concubine An gently hugged Emperor Xuan Yan's no longer young body from behind, her fingers came from his waist and intertwined with his, "It may be too late, General Li is afraid of disturbing Your Majesty."
"I can convict him tomorrow," Emperor Xuan Yan closed his eyes and said slowly, "but he usually does things that suit my wishes, so I should punish him or not."
An Bin smiled and said, "What your Majesty is thinking now may change your mind tomorrow. You may hate General Li now, but you may like him again tomorrow."
"Oh?" Emperor Xuan Yan opened his eyes again and looked at An Bin coldly, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I am a changeable and capricious person?"
Concubine An quickly retracted her hand, lowered her head and said, "No, Your Majesty, I have no such intention."
Emperor Xuan Yan didn't say anything, just looked at her.
An Bin's face became increasingly pale, she didn't dare to express her anger, and kept her head lowered.
After a long silence, and she didn't know what to do, the voice of Chamberlain Liao came from outside: "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"
Emperor Xuan Yan finally withdrew his gaze, looked outside, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"General Ouyang wants to see you," said the servant Liao.
Emperor Xuan Yan frowned irritably, and his face that had been expressionless just now became impatient and irritable.
"Go out and tell him that my dragon body is not well and I am going to sleep." Emperor Xuan Yan said.
An Bin regained her breath, smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
She stood up and left the soft couch, put on shoes on her white and smooth feet, arranged her clothes, and walked out.
Emperor Xuan Yan watched her leave, withdrew his gaze and lay down for a while, but he was so upset that he no longer felt sleepy.
He sat up, the disgust in his heart gradually growing like a snowball.
He turned to look at his empty big bed, thinking about the nightmares he had had on that bed in the past six months. The more he looked at the big bed, the more annoyed he became, and he suddenly shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Waiter Liao was at the door listening to Concubine An's explanation. Hearing Emperor Xuan Yan's shout, he hurriedly opened the newly closed palace door and went in: "Your Majesty."
"Take this out and smash it." Emperor Xuan Yan pointed to his dragon bed.
Waiter Liao was stunned for a moment, looked towards the big bed, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
In the past, he would have tried to persuade her, but now she didn't dare.
Waiter Liao turned around and left. Soon, dozens of people came in behind him.
The bedding on the dragon bed was picked up and picked up by several palace maids, and the chamberlains made moves to lift the dragon bed.
Emperor Xuan Yan suddenly said: "What are you doing?"
Everyone paused and looked at him. The person who reacted quickly let go of his hand and knelt down. The others followed suit one by one.
Emperor Xuan Yan looked at the dozens of people kneeling on the ground who were so frightened by him, and felt funny in his heart.
Waiter Liao swallowed his dry mouth and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you ordered that this dragon bed should be carried out."
"I want you to carry this dragon bed out, so you must listen seriously," Emperor Xuan Yan sneered, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to raise troops and mobilize people at this late night? You don't even try to persuade me? What if this dragon bed is really smashed?
, where will I sleep? If word spreads tomorrow, how will the world talk about me?"
Minister Liao knelt down in fear and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, I don't dare. I just listen to your Majesty's words. Whatever your Majesty wants me to do, I will do it."
"Then you are willing to die if I ask you to." Emperor Xuan Yan said.
Waiter Liao expected that he would say this, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, I am willing."
Emperor Xuan Yan smiled and raised his eyes to look at the silent and motionless servants.
"If he doesn't persuade me, what about you?" Emperor Xuan Yan said.
The kneeling palace maids and chamberlains had pale faces and did not dare to answer.
"It seems I don't dare anymore," Emperor Xuan Yan sighed, "Then you tell me, what's the use of keeping you here?"
The door of the palace was still open, and the cold wind blew from outside. Emperor Xuan Yan's voice was very soft, and to their ears, it felt colder than the cold wind.
"That's all," Emperor Xuan Yan raised his hand to support his forehead and rubbed it gently, "You guys go down."
No one answered, no one dared to be the first to speak out or stand up.
After a while, Waiter Liao said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Others agreed.
After putting things back in order, Emperor Xuan Yan had already stood up to read a book and said nothing more.
After everyone retreated, Waiter Liao came forward and said, "Your Majesty, would you like something to eat?"
Emperor Xuan Yan did not raise his head: "No need."
"Well," Waiter Liao said, "then I'll take my leave first."
"Wait a minute," Emperor Xuan Yan put down the book and said, "I have something to do tomorrow. You have to take care of it for me. Go find Liu Peng to choose some tonics and send them to Taifu An. You can take the people there."
Liau's waiter responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuan Yan paused and said, "Ouyang Jun is gone?"
"She must have left. Before I brought someone in, I sent someone to the palace gate to bring a message." Waiter Liao replied.
"Well," Emperor Xuan Yan nodded, "Okay, it's none of your business, go down."
"嗻."
After coming out and closing the palace door, Liao Neishi slowly exhaled.
The emperor is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between joy and anger. Although he is not cruel, it is not easy to live like this every day.
Waiter Liao raised his head and looked at the palace gate at the end of the square in front, wondering whether General Ouyang had left or not.
Waiter Liao thought for a while, then turned sideways and summoned a young waiter.
He whispered in the ear of the little chamberlain. The little chamberlain nodded and whispered: "Are you going now?"
"Go." Waiter Liao said.
"Yes." The waiter responded, turned around and went down the small steps, and the figure disappeared into the dark night.
The wind got stronger, and Waiter Liao shivered and tightened his clothes.
This long night, I don’t know when it will pass. (To be continued)
