Concubine Xue Shu suddenly faced Liu Hongjing's question. She was stunned for a moment. She looked at him tenderly and said, "Of course I am happy. I can be the emperor's concubine and receive the emperor's favor as always. I am not only happy, but also happy."
Full of gratitude.”
"Have you ever thought about hoping that I would love you as much as I love Xi'er, and that you would be the only woman in my heart for the rest of my life?" Liu Hongjing asked.
Concubine Xue Shu was silent. She thought for a moment, smiled calmly, and said, "I don't have such a big heart. I just want the emperor to be safe. It is a great blessing and happiness for me to stay by the emperor's side all my life."
If I really thought about it that way, it was only when I was young. After going through ups and downs, the only thing I beg for is that everything is well with the emperor."
Liu Hongjing looked back at her, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, let me hug you."
Concubine Xue Shu blushed suddenly. Although they were an old couple, she had always been dignified and steady. The emperor treated her with more respect than love. It seemed that she had never been so tender and affectionate except for the time when he was ill.
Liu Hongjing hugged her and let out a long sigh. This woman had been by his side for nearly twenty years. Although he had never had a life-or-death love for her, she had actually been infiltrated into his blood and bone marrow over the years.
.
Speechless all night.
The next day, Luo Lianyi returned to normal. Liu Hongjing and Concubine Xue Shu sent her to the city gate. Sima Xiangnan and Xiao Gudong were already waiting at the city gate.
Liu Hongjing got off the dragon chariot, walked up to Luo Lianyi who came out of the sedan chair, and looked at her deeply.
"Your Majesty, I'm leaving." Luo Lianyi greeted him and walked around him.
Liu Hongjing's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say to her. He just stared blankly at her back as she boarded the carriage outside the city gate.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xue Shu stood beside him and called softly.
"Will she come back?" Liu Hongjing asked.
"Of course I will come back. Your Majesty, please don't think too much." Concubine Xue Shu comforted softly.
Liu Hongjing watched the carriage set off, with dust flying and going further and further away. There was an indescribable sadness on his face. "It took a lot of effort to reach my side, but she had to leave in a hurry. Why do I feel that after she leaves, she will never be seen again?"
Won't come back."
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xue Shu gently held his hand. At this time, it was superfluous to say anything. She could only stand beside him and give him support and support.
The carriage disappeared from sight, but Liu Hongjing still stood there, refusing to go back.
Luo Lianyi in the carriage secretly opened the curtain and took a look. The figure of Liu Hongjing standing for a long time made her heart tremble. She put down the curtain and sat blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Feng Lin and Xiao Gudong sat beside her, one on the left and the other on the right. Xiao Gudong didn't understand the adult's entanglement. He hugged Luo Lianyi's arm and said happily: "Sister Lianyi, we will see the prince soon."
Luo Lianyi nodded thoughtfully. The carriage clattered forward, and the scenery outside the window was as before. How many dangerous stories were waiting for them when they returned this time? Soon, she joined the army stationed outside the city, hunting flags,
Rolling dust and smoke, moving rapidly eastward.
The emperor returned to the palace, and the imperial capital returned to peace. In a dark and inconspicuous courtyard in the east lane, the door was pushed open, and a pair of boots stepped into the courtyard. The door was closed by the entourage behind him. He frowned slightly and raised his hand to cover his nose.
, can’t seem to stand the smell in the yard.
"Your Majesty!" A group of people quickly came out of the courtyard, and the leader kneeling on the ground was Tong Fu'an, the father-in-law.
"Get up." Liu Huo said as he walked inside. Tong Fu'an quickly got up and followed him step by step.
Sitting down in the main room, Liu Huo drank tea slowly without asking any questions. Tong Fu'an's face became a little uneasy.
"What instructions does the prince have for coming today?" he asked cautiously.
"Why do you want to act without permission?" Liu Huo asked coldly.
Tong Fu'an bowed, hugged Fuchen and said, "I deserve to die. I just want to give the prince a surprise."
"Where's the surprise?" Liu Huo took a sip of tea and gave him a cold look with her slender eyes.
"The slave deserves to die, the slave is useless." Tong Fu'an bowed repeatedly.
"If you dare to act without permission from me in the future, please be careful that I am not polite!" Liu Huo suddenly put the tea cup on the table, causing tea to splash everywhere. Tong Fu'an lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Liu Huo was silent for a while and then picked up the tea. Tong Fuan was practicing evil magic. He knew very well that once this kind of evil magic was successfully practiced, no one would be able to control it. By then, even he would probably be a little taboo on him.
It is still unclear whether he will rebel, so now, he must not allow him to do anything on his own initiative, and cannot let him forget that no matter how powerful he is, he will always be a slave and his family dog, and he will always be nothing but a servant.
Loyalty wags its tail in front of him and begs for mercy.
"How is your Kung Fu training going?" he asked calmly.
"Back to my lord, I was injured last time due to internal force. I have been recuperating recently and have not made any progress." Tong Fu'an answered honestly.
Liuhuo nodded slightly and asked: "How long will it take before I can practice normally?"
"I'm afraid not this month." Tong Fu'an replied.
Liu Huo's cold gaze passed over his face, and he frowned and asked, "One month?"
"Yes, I'm afraid we can't force the speed to increase." Tong Fu'an answered cautiously.
Liu Huo fell silent, and Tong Fu'an looked at him anxiously and whispered: "Does the prince want his slave to follow them and wait for his move?"
"You don't seem to need me to say anything?" Liu Huo raised his eyelids and said.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Tong Fu'an bowed hurriedly.
"If you catch up with them, you must steal the princess back to me! Remember, you can't make any mistakes! If you don't know what you can do, don't act!" Liu Huo's voice was cold and decisive.
"Slave, I obey!" Tong Fu'an knelt down on one knee and accepted the order.
Liuhuo thought for a while and then said: "It's better not to take action yet. I want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and watch the drama. You follow them and report the latest news to me at any time, especially the news about the prince and that girl."
"Yes." Tong Fuan replied.
"Go and get ready, remember not to make any mistakes. The emperor already suspected you last time, but there is no proof, so there is nothing you can do to me." Liu Huo stood up, and after speaking, he strode out of the house. When he walked into the yard, he felt a strong
The smell of blood made him cover his nose again.
After Tong Fu'an waited for him to leave, he looked at his back with dark eyes and did not move for a while. "Eunuch, it's time for you to take medicine." A subordinate brought a bowl of medicine and carefully held it in front of him. Eunuch Tong took the medicine.
, raised his head and drank a few sips, smashed the medicine bowl to the ground, and strode towards the cellar in the yard.
Entering the cellar, he raised his sleeves, and a strong wind closed the door. There was deathly silence in the dark cellar, and a candlelight illuminated the interior. He walked to the earthen kang, picked up the secret book of the ice and fire magic, and smiled coldly: "
When our family has achieved great success, we should look down upon the world, and no matter who we are, heaven or king, we will all surrender to our family!"
