Chapter 288 Deep Night
The night of Haishi was already a little deep. The wind was not big, but it was a little cool on his body. Especially after drinking, when he was blown by the wind, Li Hongqing couldn't help shivering. His nose itched, and a sneeze burst out. The movement was so loud that it made the attendants panic for a long time.
"Your Highness, it's cold at night. Please add a piece of clothes."
Wang Dequan just served Li Hong and got off the soft car. When he saw that Li Hong caught a cold, he immediately was anxious and hurriedly took off his robe and wanted to add it to Li Hong.
"No, it's okay to be alone."
Although Li Hong appreciated Wang Dequan's loyalty, he did not accept his kindness. He smiled and stretched out his hand and said casually, but he kept going up the steps and walked to the hall. His footsteps were extremely relaxed. Obviously, he was in a very good mood. Of course, this good mood was not because of Li Xian's wedding, but because of the time. The pleasure of the situation is under control - since Gao Zong's decentralization of power before the month, Li Hong has been a formal regent. The big and small affairs are self-judited, and there is no need to go through the review of the Queen Wu. All the governors and assistants are all returned to their hearts. The brothers are obedient, everything is extremely smooth, and there is no longer a sense of restraint. Li Hong has a sufficient reason to be excited.
"Your Highness, take the steps carefully."
When Wang Dequan saw that Li Hong's footsteps were a little floating, he did not dare to neglect it. He didn't care about wearing the robe he had taken off again. He hurriedly caught up with Li Hong, stretched out his hand and reminded him casually.
"Well, I'm happy today. I'm afraid I can't sleep anymore. Now I'll go to the study to change some folds. You don't have to wait for me. Let's go and have a rest."
Li Hong let Wang Dequan pay attention and slowly walked up the steps. He suddenly remembered that Li Xian was probably in the process of "enjoying happiness". At that moment, his heart was hot. He had the intention to call Lin Yi to meet him, but he was worried that there would be many people and eyes. He stopped, waved to the people around him, and ordered in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes, the maidservants will follow Your Highness's orders."
Although a group of attendants followed Li Hong to Li Xian's wedding banquet, they were just watching. Naturally, it was not for everyone to enjoy the banquet. After standing up for a few hours, they had been sleepy for a long time. Hearing Li Hong's orders, they did not obey. After bowed their promises, they dispersed one after another.
"It's okay to sit alone. Let's go and invite Mr. Lin to come here."
As soon as he entered the study, Li Hong didn't wait to sit down, so he impatiently ordered Wang Dequan to invite Lin Yi to meet him.
"Yes, I'm going now."
Wang Dequan is the most confidant in front of Li Hong. He knows the ambiguous relationship between Lin Yi and the prince. Although he doesn't agree, he doesn't dare to say anything. He can only answer quickly and summon Lin Yi without mentioning it.
"Eunuch Chen, what are you doing here? I didn't summon you!"
Shortly after Wang Dequan went, there was a lot of mixed footsteps outside the door of the study. Li Hong knew that it was not Lin Yi. He couldn't help frowning and looked up at him. However, he saw that it was the eunuch of the East Palace. Chen Dayong led several small eunuchs and turned out of the screen. His heart sank, and his face fell in an instant. He pulled down and scolded rudely.
"I'm afraid that the people waiting for Your Highness will not come. The long night is lonely. I'm afraid that Your Highness will hurt himself after drinking. I have specially prepared some sobering soup to ask Your Highness to appreciate your face."
Chen Dayong is the confidant sent to the East Palace by the Empress of Wu. His mission is to monitor the prince. The relationship with the prince is naturally extremely poor. In the past, under the scruples of Li Hong's heart, he did not dare to take Chen Dayong. But since Li Hong's regent, Chen Dayong's life has been sad. Although he still had the official title of the head of the East Palace, he was sent to the clean room by Li Hong to manage the work of pouring the toilet, which can be said to be extremely humiliating to him. At this time, Chen Dayong did not look good and said negatively.
"Presumptuous, bold slave, how dare you talk to me like this, come on!"
Hearing Chen Da's bad words, Li Hong's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, but he refused to give in. He slapped the table and roared, trying to summon the rotating bodyguard outside.
"Is Your Highness calling someone? Don't worry."
Chen Da didn't care about Li Hong's anger at all. He glanced at Li Hong with pity and said disdainfully. Then, he clapped his hands, and two little eunuchs dragged Wang Dequan in from the outside, who was already life and death, and threw Wang Dequan in front of Li Hong.
"Wait, wait... Good dog thief, An dares to treat the orphan like this, bastard, are you trying to rebel?"
As soon as he saw Wang Dequan fall in front of him, Li Hongdeng was anxious and hurriedly bent down to take Wang Dequan's nose. Only then did he find that Wang Dequan was already dead. He was shocked and jumped up suddenly, pointed to Chen Daying, and scolded angrily.
"Your Highness is drinking too high, why don't wait for Your Highness to sober up!"
Chen Dayi ignored Li Hong's anger at all. He waved his hand and understated the order.
"No!"
As soon as Chen Da's voice fell, several little eunuchs rushed up and poured Li Hong down on several pieces regardless of it. He pulled his hands and feet so that Li Hong could not move. A small eunuch holding a wine pot rushed forward and opened Li Hong's teeth. The handle of the pot was slanted, and the wine inside was poured in. In Li Hong's mouth.
"Wait, wait, er, er, don't be a ghost, er, er, er, er, er..."
Li Hong's bones have always been weak. Under the oppression of the four little eunuchs, he didn't even have the strength to struggle at all. He was a stomach full of wine. He was so painful that his blue veins burst out and cursed vaguely. Unfortunately, he couldn't scold for a long, and he could no longer breathe in one breath. Zihei's blood fell ferociously down the corners of his mouth, and his hands and feet twitched a few times, and he had died.
"Your Highness has passed down."
After Li Hong stopped struggling, a little eunuch stretched out his hand to test Li Hong's breath. Seeing that there was no breath in and out, he quickly stood up, bowed to Chen Da, and hurriedly reported.
"Well, clean up this place quickly!"
Chen Dayong did not fully believe the report of the little eunuch, but personally leaned down on Li Hong's wrist and put a hand. Seeing that Li Hong had no pulse, he stood up with satisfaction, smiled coldly, left an order, turned around, and hurried out of the study and rushed to the direction of the training gate...
The time is almost over, and the night is extremely deep. It is silent. In addition to the Wuyun Hall, the huge imperial city is already dead. In the main bedroom of Qianyuan Hall, Gaozong, who was sleepy because he drank a few more cups, was already snoring soundly. He didn't know that the Empress Wu, who was sleeping with, had already quietly left. Of course, Queen Wu In fact, he didn't go far. He was still in the hall, just in the front hall.
As the main hall of the harem, the Qianyuan Hall is quite open. If it looks like a day, it has its own majestic style, but if it is a dead night, people stay in it, it will inevitably have some frightening emptiness, but the Empress Wu doesn't care at all, or I'm not in the mood to pay attention to such a palpitating darkness. I sat silently on the dragon** alone, waiting quietly, without saying anything, just like a clay sculpture.
"Puff, ph��..."
A slightly messy footsteps suddenly sounded at the dark door of the hall. Wu Hou, who was originally expressionless, raised her eyebrows in an instant, and her eyes swept over the door like a knife, with a faint trace of tension and expectation between her eyebrows.
"My wife, everything has been done."
The person who came in from the outside of the hall was Chen Dayong, the chief eunuch of the East Palace. When he saw the fierce eyes of the Empress Wu, Chen Dayong couldn't help but panic. He couldn't help trembling, but he didn't dare to neglect at all. He accelerated his pace and grabbed the front, bowed, lowered his head, and whispered. A word.
"Well, let's go."
Although Chen Daying did not clearly say that something had been done, Wu Hou obviously understood the meaning of the inside. Her face turned slightly white in an instant. Even if she returned to normal, she did not immediately order, but sat silently for a moment, and then she exhaled softly and ordered without a trace of emotion.
"Yes, the old slave obeys the order."
Chen Dayou obviously felt the chill from Queen Wu's body. He couldn't stop the trembling of his body, but the response in his mouth was not slow at all. With a whirlwind, he ran out as if he had fled.
"Bang, bang."
As soon as Chen Dayu left, the Empress Wu, who was sitting still, suddenly stood up. She slapped her hands and made two crisp sounds. Even if she saw a dark shadow appear in the palace like a ghost, with the help of the only burning light of the lamp branch in front of her, she faintly saw that this person was Sun Quan, the young supervisor. Blessing.
"Go!"
Queen Wu quietly glanced at Sun Quanfu, who was standing with his hands, and squeezed out two words from her teeth.
"No."
Sun Quanfu held his fist and simply answered. His body only shook, and he had melted into the darkness.
"Hong'er, don't blame your mother for being cruel. You asked for all this, and you can't do it."
After Sun Quanfu left, Queen Wu was not in a hurry to leave, but stood silently on the front, staring at the direction of the East Palace with her eyes, muttering that there were faint tears flashing in the phoenix's eyes, but after all, she did not shed tears. When she turned her eyes to the direction of the Wuyun Hall on the west side, it was already a solemn killing...< /P>
The night is deep. It is the best time to sleep in the day. The whole imperial city has been immersed in sleep. Even Li Xian, who has been tossed around all night in the Wuyun Hall, is already tired and dreaming. There is no way. Even if Li Xian is an iron figure, under the gentle service of the two women, it has to turn into juice. "One Night Seven Jiro" is not so good, especially in the case of drinking too much wine. It is inevitable that Li Xian did not completely sleep to death. As soon as a knock on the door of the dormitory sounded, Li Xian's eyes suddenly opened...
