Chapter Twelve Hardships Ahead

The atmosphere in Liu Ling's study became full of ambiguity for a while. Liu Ling looked at Liu Mei'er with a half-smile but not a smile. The desire in her eyes that was deliberately suppressed but still overflowed made her panic. Just standing like this, she actually forgot about her own.

Her straight buttocks were still exposed to Liu Ling's sight.

Liu Mei'er bent forward slightly, and her round buttocks rising up from her slender and beautiful waist looked even more attractive. She looked back at Liu Ling, who couldn't help but stretched out her hand again. Liu Mei'er let out a frightened cry.

, she thought Liu Ling didn't mean what he said and would continue to beat her. Her body trembled slightly, and her buttocks and flesh rippled.

This dazzling white color made Liu Ling's heart tremble, and the desire in his eyes became even hotter. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the soft and elastic buttocks. His fingers lingered and he felt them carefully.

It was warm, cool and moist. The warmth and delicacy coming from his fingers made Liu Ling almost unable to control it.

Liu Mei'er didn't know what to do for a moment, her heartbeat almost rushed out of her chest. Her blushing face was extremely beautiful, her eyes were as charming as silk, she opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't say a word.

come out.

Liu Ling's hands just slid gently on Liu Mei'er's buttocks. The feeling made him intoxicated and addicted.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, wants to see you."

At this moment, the voice of servant Lao Wu sounded outside the study.

Although Lao Wu's voice was not very loud, it was no different than a thunder to the two people who were trapped in an inexplicable emotion and couldn't extricate themselves. Liu Meier exclaimed in fright, and her body couldn't help but tremble, and she quickly stood up straight.

She put her dress down, her face turned a little white due to fright, her breathing was rapid, and her chest heaved violently. Although her breasts were not plump, they carried a fresh and just right temptation.

Liu Ling was also startled. He had been so horny just now that he couldn't extricate himself. If Lao Wu hadn't woken him up from this indescribable feeling with this sound, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long and would have done something violent to Liu Mei'er.

In fact, this is no wonder Liu Ling. The pressure on Liu Ling's shoulders has increased sharply during this period of time, and Liu Mei'er is the only person in the palace who can make him feel relieved, especially when Liu Mei'er was on fire just now.

The charm made it even harder for him to control himself.

Liu Mei'er had actually secretly promised Liu Lingfang for a long time, but she didn't dare to ask for it because of her humble status. How could she not be moved by Liu Ling's kindness to her? Even if Liu Ling wanted her body, she would definitely not

There will be a trace of resistance, and there may even be a faint urge to devote oneself to oneself.

Liu Meier hurriedly arranged her clothes and said in a panic: "I'll leave you, my servant." She hurriedly escaped from the study room. Her panicked look was just seen by Old Wu. Although Old Wu was old, he still had a strong sense of security.

Not confused at all, he smiled and felt a little happy for Xiao Nizi Liu Mei'er. If she could get the prince's love, even if she couldn't marry as his wife because of her low status, even being a concubine would be considered a success.

The head was made into a phoenix.

Liu Ling calmed down and took two deep breaths to suppress his surging mood. He walked out of the study, but he felt a little guilty.

"Please ask Mr. Lu to wait in the living room. I will be there soon."

Old Wu responded, and then glanced at Liu Ling with deep meaning. The meaning in this look was self-evident, and any man could understand it.

Liu Ling's face turned red and he coughed to cover it up.

After Lao Wu left, Liu Ling returned to the study, changed his clothes, and walked quickly to the living room. Before he reached the door, he said loudly: "Master Lu, please don't mind your slightness."

Lu Sen squinted his eyes and sat on the chair to rest his mind. When he heard Liu Ling's words, he stood up and walked to the door of the living room, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty Lu Sen, I have met Prince Zhong."

Liu Ling supported Lu Sen and said, "Master Lu, do you still hate Liu Ling?"

He said this because at the Zhengtai Palace, he scolded Lu Sen for not knowing the rules and not knowing etiquette when meeting the royal family. At that time, Liu Ling had to be domineering in order to establish his authority, but Lu Sen would do it every time he saw Liu Ling from then on.

The respectful salute made Liu Ling feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, with Liu Ling's current status, it is not too much for Lu Sen to kneel down and salute. According to the rules set by Liu Ye, the prince is only one level lower than the emperor.

All officials have to kneel down and worship.

In terms of age, Lu Sen is already sixty-three years old. Liu Ling always feels a bit unbearable when an old man bows and salutes every time they meet.

Lu Sen allowed Liu Ling to help him up, and said calmly: "How dare I bear a grudge against Prince Zhong? It's just the courtesy of a minister."

Liu Ling knew that Lu Sen had resentment in his heart, and he did not blame Lu Sen for his disrespectful words. He just took Lu Sen's hand and entered the living room. After sitting down, Liu Ling asked: "Old Prime Minister, do you have something to tell me?"

Lu Sen sat on the chair with a very serious expression. He glanced at Liu Ling and nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "This time I am here to ask Prince Zhong for your devotion to the great man in the past twenty years."

For the sake of trying your best, let’s let the little girl Yuzhu go.”

Liu Ling raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked calmly: "Old Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

Lu Sen sighed and said: "Prince Zhong, please don't pretend to be ignorant. I believe that His Majesty has already mentioned to you that he wants to betroth my daughter to you. I am here just to ask Prince Zhong to be noble and let my daughter go."

.My little girl is young and ignorant and has a rough nature. She is really not worthy of you, Prince Zhong. Please don’t agree to this marriage.”

Liu Ling put down the tea cup and frowned and said: "Old Prime Minister, do you mean to make me disobey the decree?"

Lu Sen's expression changed, his tone suddenly calmed down, and he said almost pleadingly: "Prince Zhong, I will beg you as an official. This must not be done. I beg Prince Zhong to make it happen!"

Liu Ling lightly brushed his robe and said in a calm tone: "Master Lu, are you and I unable to resist His Majesty's will? Or do you think, Master Lu, that I, the loyal prince Liu Ling, am not worthy of marrying your wife?"

?”

After asking these two sentences, Lu Sen's face suddenly turned pale. The previous pretense immediately disappeared. He suddenly stood up from the chair, knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed: "Prince Zhong, please look at it."

For the sake of an old father who loves his only daughter, please take back your life!"

When he knelt down, he did not have the demeanor of being the first official of the first rank. His kneeling body was shaking constantly, his gray hair hung down, and for a moment he looked very old.

Liu Ling walked over and helped Lu Sen up, sighed and said, "Old Prime Minister, you underestimate Liu Ling."

After he helped the somewhat surprised Lu Sen sit down, he stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Old Prime Minister, do you think Liu Ling can't see the catastrophic disaster behind this marriage?"

He said: "Don't worry, I will not agree to this marriage."

The reason why Liu Ling behaved so coldly and arrogantly just now certainly had a profound meaning.

"But what if His Majesty insists on refusing to take back his life?"

Liu Ling asked.

Lu Sen was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Liu Ling continued to ask: "Can you resign and return to your hometown, or can Liu Ling resign and not work?"

Lu Sen stood up and said with a desolate look: "Please teach me, Prince Zhong."

At this moment, Lu Sen had lost the last trace of pride. The desolation on his face made people feel unbearable. Liu Ling sighed, walked to the door and looked at the clear sky outside and said: "Your Majesty has been filial throughout his life. Don't you think the old prime minister can't bear it?"

Do you know how to say it?"

Lu Sen was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized it. He bowed fiercely and said, "I would like to thank Prince Zhong for your advice!"

The desolation he felt just now disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by indescribable excitement. In fact, Lu Sen was just anxious and confused. His wife had just passed away a month ago. According to etiquette, his daughter could not be present during the mourning period.

Married people. In ancient times, the most respected etiquette was that children should observe filial piety for three years before they can talk about getting married.

"I'm going to take my leave now. Please forgive me for disturbing me, Prince Zhong."

The knot in his heart was untied, and Lu Sen was about to say goodbye.

Liu Ling suddenly waved his hand and said, "Old Prime Minister, please go slowly. Liu Ling has one more thing to ask."

Lu Sen: "If Prince Zhong has something to do, just give him your instructions."

Liu Ling said: "Old Prime Minister, is the national treasury... really as full as you said?"

Lu Sen's expression was suffocated, and his face instantly stiffened.

His figure trembled slightly, and he said with a bitter smile: "As expected, I still can't hide it from you, Prince Zhong. The civil and military officials in this dynasty are only watching the court situation, and they are only thinking about their own official career. And His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and some things are...

It’s unspeakable.”

Liu Ling said: "Old Prime Minister, please tell me the truth. I just want to know how corrupt the court has become."

Lu Sen hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "To be honest, Prince Zhong... the treasury, the treasury is already empty!"

Although Liu Ling had expected it, he still couldn't help being shocked. Liu Ling knew exactly what position the Northern Han Dynasty had in history. The existence of the Northern Han Dynasty was not even a flash in the pan in terms of history.

The regime, which has only existed for a short period of twenty-eight years, is at best an inconspicuous little wave.

According to the normal trajectory of history, it is impossible for Liu Zhuo to succeed. And Liu Ye will not be the emperor for twenty years. Historically, Liu Ye only held power for three years before he died. And the person who succeeded was the prince Liu Huan.

, this Liu Huan was just a short-lived emperor, only sitting in the court for eleven years. Even so, he was the longest emperor in the history of the Northern Han Dynasty.

However, all this changed because of the appearance of Liu Ling.

Similarly, precisely because of Liu Ling's existence, he did not allow the Northern Han Dynasty to perish quickly. His second brother Liu Zhuo had just succeeded to the throne, and Liu Ling did not allow an emperor with lofty ideals to end miserably. What's more, Liu Zhuo was the only one who had great ambitions in this era.

He cannot sit idly by and ignore the future of Beihan for those whom he has shown affection for!

Lu Sen sighed: "Prince Zhong has been here all these years. Although the Later Zhou Dynasty had the intention to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, it has never succeeded. However, Prince Zhong, you also know that the Liao Dynasty in the north... is also watching with covetous eyes.

In order to maintain these years, the late Emperor of Liao Dynasty could only pay as much as possible when the Liao Kingdom came to ask for money and food. In fact, after the envoys of the Liao Kingdom came last year, the treasury was already empty. And now in two months, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom will come again.

I don’t know how to deal with it yet.”

Liu Ling clenched his fists, and an evil aura suddenly appeared between his brows!

Lu Sen was startled by Liu Ling's appearance and subconsciously took a step back.

"Prince Zhong?"

Lu Sen called out cautiously.

After a while, Liu Ling's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed. His frown gradually relaxed, and the ferocity on his face gradually receded.

"Don't worry, old prime minister. Liu Ling will take care of the matter of the Liao envoy. But there is one more thing that I need to ask the old prime minister for help. I, Liu Ling... I can never be a villain who kills people without blinking an eye again." (To be continued)
