Allure of the World Chapter 68: Sleepless night
The emperor let go of Concubine Jing and lay on his back for a while.
"You have a good rest, I will see you again when I have time."
When Yang Shu saw the emperor coming out of Changjing Palace soon, the emperor was sinking like water. Can't see joy and sorrow.
"Your Majesty, are you coming back to the Huadian Palace?"
"Wong'an Palace."
Yong'an Palace is the palace of Wen Heng, the imperial concubine Yi.
Is only Wen Heng the cure for my restlessness? There is only Wen Heng in my heart, and only Wen Heng.
The emperor entered the gate of Yong'an Palace, and Wen Heng, Concubine Yi Gui was sorting out medical books.
She watched the emperor walk in with a bleak face.
She poured tea for him, "Your Majesty, I heard that King Ning and Beiyi colluded, and Lan Jingtian used his prestige to recruit a group of soldiers in the army?"
"Heng'er, I don't want to mention the matter in the court now."
"Why is the emperor worried?"
"No, just a little tired."
The emperor took off his coat and got into bed.
"Didn't the emperor flip the sign of Jing Concubine today? Why did he come to Yong'an Palace again?"
"Does Heng'er want me to go to Yongjing Palace?"
"Of course not, it's just that the emperor flipped over Jing Concubine's sign and went to my Yongan Palace again. I was afraid that Jing Concubine would think too much. Didn't you always want the harem to be peaceful?" Wen Heng joked.
"I am the emperor, I can go wherever I want. Really, I have someone I like in my heart, and being with others has become a torment..."
The emperor suddenly whispered.
Wen Heng blushed. She raised her head and looked at the emperor affectionately. She used to think that the emperor was in love with Lan Ling. It seemed that his mind was still on her.
"But you are the emperor. Although Heng'er knows the emperor's intentions, he can't neglect other concubines."
"I'm tired and don't want to go anywhere today."
Wen Heng wanted to say something else, the emperor was already asleep.
The emperor is still very busy, and King Ning has been dormant for more than four months before finally starting his activities again. He took refuge in Beiyi, and with the help of Beiyi's strength, he captured Qingzhou.
A few days ago, some of Lei Ze's subordinates who used to be Lan Jingtian fled collectively. These people were originally scattered among the various teams.
Part of the ministers wrote a letter to crusade against the northern barbarians, and some strongly opposed the occurrence of war at this time. What should be done at the moment is to survive.
The emperor made no statement. He didn't want to travel long distances to send troops. King Ning's character would not be dormant for too long.
He's waiting for him to show up.
The seventh princess has become a frequent visitor to Changxin Palace these days.
This evening, the seventh princess took Lan Ling to the front garden to pick peaches.
"Sister Ling, I told everyone not to touch the peaches on this tree, they are for you!"
Lan Ling was reluctant to go out during this period of time, but seeing Ling Shuang's generosity, she took Lixia and Qiaochun out with her.
Sure enough, there are still many peaches on this tree.
"Sister Ling, let me be righteous."
"Zhangyi, don't worry, I'll help you with my senior brother!" Lan Ling teased her.
The princess blushed.
Lan Ling wiped it with a handkerchief while picking it up.
The woman's coquettish laughter came from behind, and Lan Ling's body froze.
The girl next to her knelt down.
Lan Ling slowly turned around and saw the emperor standing there with a woman she didn't know.
They haven't seen each other for almost two months.
He held the woman's hand, fingers clasped. Lan Ling looked at his hand. He held it tighter.
Lan Ling bowed and saluted, "I have seen the emperor before."
Concubine Jing finally saw this concubine Ling. I heard that she was put into the cold palace a few days ago. She was the first person to be put into the cold palace after the emperor ascended the throne, but she was released again soon.
She looked at her carefully. She was beautiful and refined, but she was not as beautiful as herself, not even as good-looking as the Queen and Concubine Yi.
But the emperor's body stood stiffly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine will also pick peaches from this tree." Jing Concubine acted coquettishly.
"Concubine Jing, this tree was specially reserved for Concubine Ling. You picked a lot yesterday. If you want to pick it again, go to another tree." The seventh princess said bluntly.
"Princess, I've picked enough. Let's say goodbye first." Lan Ling shook the seventh princess' hand.
She called Lixia and Qiaochun, saluted the emperor and left.
"Sister-in-law Ling, Sister-in-law Ling..."
The princess looked at the emperor, "Brother Huang, Sister-in-law Ling has not been out for a while, I finally pulled her out today, and you have to fight him for peaches!"
The emperor's face was full of anger, his eyes were dark and deep, he watched her turn away without hesitation, his anger became heavier and heavier. A kick on the peach tree.
With a three-pronged effort, the peach tree snapped!
Concubine Jing screamed in fright and fell to the ground on her knees.
The Seventh Princess saw that the peach fell to the ground, smashed, and ran away crying angrily.
Lan Ling never looked back, she really didn't want to look at him.
If he bored her, he killed her. There's no point in living anyway.
In the evening, the Changxin Palace closed early.
Lan Ling bathed in the room, she soaked in the tub, and the tub was sprinkled with honeysuckle.
It's actually pretty good not seeing him, no worries.
Lan Ling's long hair hangs outside and her eyes are closed.
Someone gently stroked her hair, Lan Ling was startled, turned around and put on a bathrobe. She was already hugged and her mouth was covered.
She kicked the bucket next to her.
“Who are you?”
"Linger, it's me."
"King Ning!"
"How did you enter my room? Why did you kill me again?" Lan Ling was shocked.
"Linger, come with me, he doesn't love you at all."
"Let me go, let me get dressed! Help!" She hurriedly called for help.
Ning Wang clicked on her acupuncture point, wrapped Lan Ling with his cloak, and hugged him.
"Boom!" The door was kicked open.
It was Tian Ming and Gu Fan who came in. The emperor stood in the center, "Put her down!" His tone was as cold as ice, and raging flames flashed in his eyes.
"Ling Feng, you can't hold your breath, you're still a thief! You're always thinking about things that don't belong to you!"
"She was originally mine. After following you, you don't cherish it. Fourth, I gave you the country, and I took the woman away!" Ling Feng was as cold and gloomy as ever.
Lan Ling just saw Ling Feng's face clearly. His face was rough and black like a plague god, not the previous King Ning at all.
Ning Wang suddenly jumped out of the window holding Lan Ling.
At the same time, the emperor had already jumped out, and he used ruthless force. He saw Lan Ling's hair scattered outside, strands rubbing against Ning Wang's arm, his face...
This made him so angry that he wanted to kill both of them with one sword.
When King Ning's reinforcements arrived, they were all experts in the rivers and lakes. Ling Chen couldn't get close for a while, and when he saw King Ning jumping onto the palace wall with Lan Ling in his arms, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The emperor, Tian Ming, Gu Fan, and Yang Shuo chased after him with guards.
Huo Jingyun and Bai Shaoting chased after hearing the news.
Wang Ning walked further and further with Lan Ling in his arms. She was wrapped in his clothes and held in his arms.
People from Changxin Palace came out in droves. A shadow sneaked into Changxin Palace and broke into Lan Ling's room.
Lan Ling was bathing when she was taken away, and her phantom, Moon Soul and Qiushui Sword were all placed there.
Black Shadow took out an identical Qiushui sword, replaced Lan Ling's Qiushui sword, quickly went out, and flashed into the gate of Yongan Palace...
Tonight's cloud city is destined to be a sleepless night.
The emperor ordered half of his bodyguards to track down the assassins, and half of the city was brightly lit.
Half city smokes sand, half city tenderness.
The angry emperor sat on the horse, the city gate behind him was like a huge lion, sleeping under the boundless night. The fifth prince and countless guards followed behind the emperor. Everyone held their breath and dared not speak out, for fear of shocking the furious tiger.
