The dark guard didn't say any more, and quietly retreated from the study. They all hoped that Lu Cong could start action as soon as possible to get rid of Zhao Wen's faint lord, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

But Lu Cong didn't make a move. What was he waiting for?

The dark guard didn't understand, but if he could understand what Lu Cong was thinking, then he could also be a general.

Sitting alone in the study, Lu Cong remembered the little waiter he met in the Nanfeng Pavilion today for no reason. When he left the Nanfeng Pavilion, he didn't know what the little waiter looked like. It was just those eyes, but he let him I like it very much, and I still feel a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.

He was in the Nanfeng Pavilion today, his head was hot, and he was impulsive, and then he had the idea of ​​wrapping up the servant. When he came back, he thought about it, if he was really interested in that person, he could redeem him in the mansion. It's not bad to have such a person.

But he couldn't figure out what he meant to the little waiter.

Lu Cong felt that he needed to calm down for a while, first to see if he had been tricked by someone, and then to decide what to do with him.

Lin Mengyue was guarding outside Chu Xia's bedroom. She was pregnant with her child. She thought that Chu Xia couldn't bear her, so she should be called in later, but Lin Mengyue waited for almost an hour, and there was no news from the bedroom. Come on, the emperor seems to have completely forgotten that she is here.

But he asked the palace servant to move the chair out again, watching the sky getting darker and the evening wind blowing, worried that she was cold, and gave her a cloak.

What he is doing now is too contradictory, Lin Mengyue always felt that she could hold Zhao Wen in her hands, but now she can't see him clearly.

Lin Mengyue sat on the chair brought by the palace servants and looked up at the sky above her head, which was rendered by the afterglow. If the emperor really knew about his personal relationship with others, he would not be so indifferent.

What's the matter, Your Majesty?

The imperial concubine shook the fan in her hand, suddenly turned her head, and asked the **** beside her, "Do you know where your majesty went out of the palace today?"

"This..." The **** shook his head. His Majesty only brought two secret guards out of the palace, and when the two secret guards came back, they didn't know where they went. He said to the imperial concubine, "I don't know what this servant is."

Lin Mengyue knew that the **** in front of her did not dare to lie to herself. As long as these maids and eunuchs have brains, they all know that the most important thing to survive in this palace is to please the imperial concubine, and those who have no brains died soon after entering the palace. A lonely soul in the majestic palace.

Although His Majesty seems to have a better temper in the past two days, he has always been changeable, and he doesn't know what it will be like in a few days. He has neglected the imperial concubine these few days, but he has not favored other beauties. The imperial concubine's belly She was pregnant with His Majesty's child, and compared to other beauties, it was not the same after all.

Smart people know what to do in this situation.

After a while, another little **** walked out of the bedroom, and the imperial concubine stood up subconsciously, thinking that the emperor finally agreed with her, but she heard the little **** say: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has fallen asleep."

The imperial concubine froze in place. Since she entered the palace, her life has been smooth sailing. Even a concubine who is a little favored in front of the emperor can be killed at will, and the emperor will not accuse her. It was she who thought, there was nothing she couldn't get.

Today, the emperor has so disgraced her. Lin Mengyue has not been so angry for a long time. She clenched the fan in her hand tightly. It's normal, she asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Yes."

She had waited for him here for so long, and he was still able to fall asleep. The imperial concubine was so angry that her teeth were chattering, and the maid beside her knelt down to calm her anger.

Lin Mengyue returned to her palace with a belly full of anger. There was something weird about it everywhere. She hoped that the child would be born smoothly, and then she would not have to look at this dog emperor's face again.

She sat on the collapsed, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she smashed a lot of jade objects. The palace people listened to these voices and knelt on the ground one by one, holding their breath, for fear of making this noble concubine unhappy, and her own life would be lost. .

The beauties in the harem who have been bullied by the imperial concubine for many years did not show any happiness when they found out about this. They were just a boring thing for the emperor to relieve his boredom in his spare time. Come, the imperial concubine can keep them looking good.

This huge harem looks calm on the surface, but the waves are turbulent below.

"You guys be careful recently, don't go and hang out in front of Your Majesty." The dark guard remembered the look in His Majesty's eyes when he sent His Majesty back to the palace, which made him feel terrified.

The dark guard thought a bit too much. Chu Xia was just expressing his regret. He regretted that he did not bring the dark guards when he entered the Nanfeng Pavilion, which led to his passive situation later, because he was afraid of being caught by Lu Cong. Killed unknowingly, and did not dare to reveal his identity at all.

The dark guard looked at his brothers and warned, "Especially the sixth and the thirteenth, stay away from your majesty during this time."

"What's wrong?"

The dark guard looked around and whispered, "I suspect that His Majesty has broken his sleeve."

"What? Broken sleeves?"

"how is this possible!"

The dark guards all said that this was impossible. His Majesty was having fun with the beauties in his harem all day long. How could he have broken his sleeves?

"I'm serious, do you know what your Majesty went out of the palace for today?"

His brothers cooperatively asked him what he was doing.

The dark guard immediately said that he saw His Majesty enter the Nanfeng Pavilion today, and he stayed in it for a long time before coming out. His Majesty must be tired of playing beautiful women and want to play with men.

Thinking of this, His Majesty has a reason for neglecting the imperial concubine recently.

The secret guards only felt that their buttocks were a little cold, and they should not show their faces in front of the emperor in the future.

Chu Xia didn't slept very long this time. After waking up, he sat on the collapsed floor and ate the cakes from the imperial kitchen while thinking about how long he could be the emperor. On the desk of , Chu Xia had read two pages before going to bed, and all of them were flattering, and the filming was very low-level, and it was a bit disgusting. He pushed these memorials aside and closed his eyes to sleep.

There is no one available in the court. He wants to eliminate the Qing Dynasty, and wants to be a better emperor, but he has no way to start.

Just wait to die.

Chu Xia knocked on his head. Originally, he thought he could enjoy himself as an emperor, but unfortunately, he was locked.

He also remembered that today in the Nanfeng Pavilion, Lu Cong said he was going to cover him. If Lu Cong wasn't joking, he would definitely go to the Nanfeng Pavilion to find someone in the future.

If Lu Cong knew that it was him who was in the Nanfeng Pavilion that day, would he become angry and rebel directly and kill himself.

Chu Xia felt a headache. This emperor had the title of an emperor, but he couldn't do anything. He thought he could sit on a beautiful man and do 3,000 games, but he was wearing a lock on his body.

He opened the curtain beside the bed and instructed the **** beside him, "Find someone from the prison."

The **** immediately came over and asked him flatteringly, "What is your majesty looking for?"

When Chu Xia asked this, the palace people subconsciously thought that he was looking at some beauty in the prison.

But it really wasn't. He held his chin and thought for a while, and said to the palace servant, "It's better to have eyes like mine." It's too ugly, don't scare Lu Cong.

Even like His Majesty, Taiju felt that his guess just now might not be right. He raised his head and glanced at Chu Xia secretly, wanting to see what His Majesty's eyes were like. When he realized what he was doing, he listened to his heart. After a beat, he hurriedly lowered his head, hoping that His Majesty hadn't noticed his arrogance just now.

Chu Xia didn't worry about these people, got up from the bed, and said, "Forget it, let's pick it out myself."

He first went to the Heavenly Prison. Most of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison were tortured so badly that they didn't look right. Then he went to the Xinzheku in the palace to pick and choose, and finally found a palace with eyes that were six or seven points similar to his. people.

Chu Xia instructed the palace servants: "Send him to the Nanfeng Pavilion and tell the owner of the Nanfeng Pavilion that it was sent by Mr. Chu, and he will know what to do."

The palace man thought that he would be beheaded if he was caught, but Chu Xia just sent him to the Nanfeng Pavilion, which made him a little flustered.

Is a place like Nanfeng Pavilion more terrifying than death?

Early the next day, Lu Cong still did not come. Chu Xia and the courtiers were well aware of his condition, but no one dared to mention it. Only after the court, after someone asked to see Chu Xia, they urged Chu Xia to kill him. Lu Cong also talked about some past events between Lu Cong and his concubine Lin Mengyue.

If the original owner heard these words here, he would be so angry that he couldn't eat, but Chu Xia didn't care.

The original owner has become more and more ignorant over the years, and he really hopes that his good people will be demoted and killed by him. Most of these ministers who are facing up now have their own careful thoughts, and no one will work for such a faint-hearted king.

Chu Xia patted his chest, everything that should be arranged now is arranged, and the rest is left to fate.

Lu Cong, Lu Cong...

The system gave Chu Xia more detailed information about Lu Cong. Lu Cong was the eldest son of Beijinghou, and his mother was Beijinghou's first wife. She and Beijinghou did not fall in love with each other. When they got married, their marriage was a design from beginning to end, but his mother fell in love with Peijinghou early, and Peijinghou hated her to death because of this bound marriage.

As soon as she became pregnant, the Hou Beijing couldn't wait to bring his childhood sweetheart home and make her his wife. Lu Cong's mother couldn't stand the stimulation and became crazy since then. After Lu Cong was born, she He became even more ill and almost threw the two-month-old Lu Cong into the pool to drown. The Marquis of Beijing knew what was going on in the house, but he never stopped him. He wished that the mother and son would die together in the backyard.

Lu Cong grew up a little bit by her abuse. When she was sober occasionally, this woman would hold Lu Cong in her arms, talk to him about the past, give him a little tenderness, and then return to the original state. , continue to abuse him.

Lu Cong grew up in such an environment until his mother died when he was fourteen years old. Perhaps he was thinking of the past years and felt guilty and hoped that Lu Cong would be happy. Before he died, she called Lu Cong's His fiancee, Lin Mengyue, told her to treat Lu Cong better in the future.

However, this fiancée had a strange thought for a long time. She knew that Lu Cong was not as good as a servant in Beijing Hou's mansion, and naturally she would not want to marry Lu Cong according to the engagement contract. Since God gave her such a look, She definitely won't let her live a mediocre life with such a person.

Sure enough, Lin Mengyue was snatched into the palace by the original owner and became a high-ranking concubine, but her marriage contract with Lu Cong was always a thorn in her heart. In order to remove this thorn, she tried several times. Lu Cong's life ended in failure in the end.

Chu Xia read these past events carefully. Lu Cong's life has not been easy these years. Now he has enough ability to overthrow the original owner, but he has not done anything until now. , Chu Xia always felt that he still had some means to use on himself.

Chu Xia put the quilt over his head, and fell asleep again after a while. This time he had a dream. In the dream, Lan Que on the left and Bai Yan on the right knelt in front of him and called him the emperor.

Chu Xia laughed so much that the corners of his mouth went to the back of his ears, he waved at them, saying that the two concubines should come up to sleep, and when the two concubines came up, Chu Xia also woke up.

It was a little uncomfortable below, Chu Xia stared at the lock for a long time.

If I am guilty, please let the law punish me, not hold me with a lock.

He was so angry that he hammered the bed, and the palace servants who were guarding outside heard the thumping sound of his bed, and shivered with fright, and knelt down on the ground. After a while, the dragon fell silent, and they quietly resumed stand up.

The next few days were peaceful, except that Chu Xia would find a few locksmiths to enter the palace every day and let them study the locks on his body.

They studied for several days without any progress.

In the General's Mansion, when Xiao Tianheng came in, Lu Cong was sitting behind his desk and writing. He leaned over and said, "Let me see what you wrote."

"Chu Xia?" Xiao Tianheng thought that even if Lu Cong was idle and had nothing to do to write people's names on paper, he should have written Lin Mengyue's name. Where did this Chu Xia come from? He never listened to Lu Cong's side. After passing the name, he asked Lu Cong, "Who is this person?"

Lu Cong put down the brush in his hand, turned over the paper with Chu Xia's name written on it, and put it on the table. He did not answer Xiao Tianheng's time, but asked Xiao Tianheng, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Tianheng laughed, took out a thumb-sized jade pendant from his sleeve and brought it to Lu Cong, "This is your pendant, put it away."

Lu Cong saw that it was indeed given to Lin Mengyue by his mother back then. He took the pendant and said to Xiao Tianheng, "Thank you."

"What's there to thank, didn't you accompany me to the Nanfeng Pavilion?"

His worries were not superfluous at all. Sure enough, his father knew the news of his going to the Nanfeng Pavilion on the same day, and chased him around the mansion twice with a stick. Later, he said that he went with Lu Cong. , his father put down the thick stick.

Xiao Tianheng remembered that stick, and still had lingering fears, he patted his chest and said to Lu Cong, "By the way, I also heard that the imperial concubine went to see the emperor yesterday, but the emperor didn't see her, so he slept in the bedroom, and the imperial concubine was angry. I had to make a big fire and smashed a lot of things."

Xiao Tianheng also went to see his sweetheart by the way. Li'er and the little sisters who entered the palace with her had a good time, and he was completely relieved that he was not bullied.

After Xiao Tianheng left, Lu Cong turned over the white piece of paper on the table again. There was only Chu Xia's name on the piece of paper. He calmed down for a few days, but still couldn't understand the relationship between himself and Chu Xia. He finally accepted his fate. He came to the Nanfeng Pavilion like this, and asked Chu Xia by name.

The boss who brought Chu Xia over covered his face, only showing a pair of eyes and sent it to Lu Cong, but Lu Cong only glanced at it and said, "It's not this person."

The boss thought so, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and heard Lu Cong coldly ask, "Where's him?"

The boss was shocked by Lu Cong's gaze, "He, he..."

He spent a long time, and the boss didn't say a complete sentence.

"Where did he go?" Lu Cong asked.

The boss felt that he was wronged. How could he know where that Young Master Chu went? Thinking of what Chu Xia sent someone to explain to him, the boss said to Lu Cong, "He went out with Young Master Zhou."

Lu Cong sneered, "Young Master Zhou? Didn't I already wrap him up?"

The sweat oozing out of the boss's back almost soaked his clothes. "That... He said he would go to see Young Master Zhou for the last time today and break up with him."

Lu Cong found a window seat in the lobby and sat down, "I'll wait for him to come back."

To be on the safe side, Chu Xia left people in the Nanfeng Pavilion that day. When he received the news, he hurriedly changed into plain clothes and went out of the palace.

Lu Cong had never seen him, so how could he recognize him?

Chu Xia didn't have time to think about it, she rushed all the way to the Nanfeng Pavilion, but when she got there, she suddenly felt that she was sick.

His identity will die sooner or later. Why are you sending yourself to Lu Cong now? Don't you want to die even worse?

This decision must be made only when there is no vent below and the anger has rushed into the brain.

Chu Xia came to Lu Cong wearing a mask that only exposed her eyes. Lu Cong glanced at him and asked, "Have you and that Young Master Zhou broken clean?"

Chu Xia hummed, as if endless pain was suppressed in her voice.

Lu Cong only felt a pain in his heart. He stretched out his hand to lift Chu Xia's chin and looked straight into his eyes, as if to see through his soul. He asked him word by word, "You can't forget him?"
