Blood and hatred

Chapter 26: The Concubine

There was one person on the dragon bed in the bedroom who couldn't sleep.

At that time, Xiao Xiang watched Hong Shinian drink up the bottle of poisoned wine.Seeing him licking the corner of his mouth after drinking, "Good wine! Good wine!", I felt very uncomfortable.

Why...feel like I did something wrong?  …

Shi Nian said I would regret it?Why do I regret it?

Will revenge make people regret it?

Isn't revenge just and righteous?Why do you regret it?

My heart, why does it hurt so much...

At that time, Xiao Xiang looked at Hong Shinian and kept shouting "Good wine! Good wine!".That smiling face seemed to have never taken death seriously.Hong Shinian, who had taken off his official uniform, seemed to have regained a little childishness.He is obviously one year younger than himself, why was Hong Shinian so frighteningly cold when he was a tutor?

Before he knew what he was doing, Xiao Xiang had already grabbed Hong Shinian's throat with one hand, and stretched out his hand inside his back to force the poisonous wine out.

"Senior brother?!" Hong Shinian looked shocked, and seemed to have something to say, but at that moment he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then passed out.

Looking at the unconscious Hong Shi Nian, Xiao Xiang felt unprecedented fear.He could only stand there in a daze, not even daring to think about whether Hong Shinian was dead.

If Shi Nian just died like this... what should I do?  …

I can't imagine it...

In the end, he still trembled, feeling the pulse in Hong Shinian's neck was still beating weakly, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Strange... don't I want to die?  …

He looked at Hong Shinian's body that was chained and unable to lean forward, and the corners of his mouth were still dripping with black and red blood.

Xiao Xiang wiped it lightly.Even though he knew that Hong Shinian had just passed out, seeing him like this still made him feel uncomfortable.

Sudden decision came from nowhere, Xiao Xiang untied Hong Shinian's shackles, hugged him across his chest and carried him out.

"Hongshi Nian died after taking poisoned wine. Nian was my junior brother in the same school. Let me take him out of the palace and bury him properly."

The guards in the cell looked at each other, they all knew that the white-clothed guard in front of them was not only the emperor's close guard, but also the emperor's darling, so they might not offend him.But when he saw the black blood on the cell floor, and the Taifu's chest in his arms didn't rise and fall, they felt that the man was dead, they all nodded in agreement, and let Xiao Xiang go out of the palace with Hong Shinian in his arms.

Walking out of the imperial city and away from the official road, Xiao Xiang came to a small village.From there, he found out that there was a doctor in the next town who specialized in treating people in Jianghu, so he immediately rushed all night, put down Hong Shinian and enough silver in front of the doctor's door, and left quietly.

Before leaving, Xiao Xiang broke his heart, broke Hong Shinian's tendons, and thus deprived him of all his martial arts.

"This kind of lesson is fine... Shi Nian, as long as you don't die..."

Just like that time, don't die...

Why at that time, I would be reluctant to let him die?  …

Recalling that time, Xiao Xiang was lying beside Xiaolong, sighing.

I don't know, Shi Nian...how is he now?

Xiao Xiang raised his eyes and saw that Xiaolong was sleeping peacefully beside the pillow.

Shi Nian said that the emperor and I are in love...

Are we really in love?

A hand unconsciously grasped his bare chest.Why, I don't feel comfortable?Shouldn't you feel very happy and happy when you are by the side of the person you like?Why is my heart only restless now...

The next morning, Xiaolong attended the morning court with Xiao Xiang as usual.

"Report to the emperor, I have something to report."

"Play."

The minister looked nervously at Xiao Xiang, then bowed and continued, "It's about guard Xiao..."

"Xiang'er? What's the matter with him?" Seeing the displeased frowned by the king, the ministers in the palace paused for a while.

Hearing the emperor calling that guard affectionately, all the ministers were sweating coldly because of the nervousness of what was going to happen next.

However, now that Taifu Hong is dead, there are rumors all over the court that the death of Taifu is related to the guard in white.It was said that the Tai Tuo and Xiao Huwei had been at odds for a long time, and some people acted like a baby and sued the emperor because of hatred, and framed the Tai Tuo.The sages have said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."Now, I'm afraid that this guard is both a woman and a villain.If he is not careful, he will be disgusted, and there is no guarantee that he will not cry and complain at the emperor's pillow.It's always a disaster for a beauty. If the emperor obeys his wishes, not only will he lose his official position, but he may even lose his life like the Tai Tuo.

"Reporting to the emperor, it's just... I heard that Taifu Hong framed the Fourteenth Prince and General Cui Xuan, I'm afraid there is something wrong."

"Oh? Is it related to Xiang'er?" Listening to the calm tone, could it be that the emperor knew that the Tai Tuo was wronged? !

Everyone recalled that after the emperor announced that Taifu Hong was taken into prison, he had an intimate act with Xiao Huwei.Thinking of this, the officials are afraid that the rumors are true.

"...Report to the Emperor, I heard that the Tai Tuo was falsely accused because of his quarrel with Xiao Huwei."

"What?!" Baiguan turned his head and saw the guard in white stepping forward, frowning and glaring at the minister who spoke. "How could I falsely accuse others? Hong Shinian is the one who falsely accuses others!"

hateful!How did I become a framed person? !It is Shi Nian who obviously framed others!He killed my brother!

"Xiao Huwei, this is the meeting hall, and you are not allowed to speak yet." An old official saw that Xiao Xiang was not pleasing to the eye, and raised a point in a cold voice.

"I have thoroughly investigated. The Fourteenth Prince and Cui Xuan were indeed framed by Hong Shinian. Could it be that the family thinks that my investigation is not enough and they want to conduct another investigation?"

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay as they listened, unable to answer for a while.

Some senior ministers couldn't see that the colleagues in the palace were hesitant to speak, so they stood up and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that this guard Xiao will cause controversy. If he stays in the palace, it will make people feel uncomfortable." People are uneasy."

Xiaolong listened, leaning on the dragon chair, half-closed his eyes, and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"Return to the emperor. Xiao Huwei is a first-rank palace guard and a male favorite at the same time. It is really inappropriate for his status to conflict. I implore the emperor to confirm Xiao Huwei's identity so that the ministers can treat him with respect."

After listening, Xiao Xiang suddenly turned to look at the man in the seat.

Male favorite? !That's right...everything I've done has been done by a male favorite.Sentinel, it's just an excuse to stay by the Emperor's side...

Xiaolong met Xiao Xiang's blank gaze.He knew that Xiao Xiang was caring about the word "male favorite".

Is Xiang'er a male favorite?Could it be that I really treat him as a favored slave?

There was an uneasy silence in the hall, which made people dare not even breathe.

All the officials bowed their heads and waited for the king's decision, but they heard the emperor's soft call, "Xiang'er, come here."

The officials looked up and peeked, only to see the guards in white walking up the steps.Before she got close, she was pulled into the embrace of the emperor and kissed deeply.

Baiguan was dumbfounded.

Xiao Xiang froze in Xiaolong's arms.He fell down on the emperor's lap, feeling the domineering tongue in his mouth.When his lips were parted, seeing the person in front of him seductively licking away the silver wire around his lips, his cheeks became redder and hotter.

"I want to confer Xiang'er as a noble concubine." Xiaolong glanced at the astonished expressions of the officials, and finally his eyes fell on the old minister who spoke just now, "The harem must not interfere with the government. Are Zhang Qing's family satisfied with this result?"

Although there have been men as concubines since ancient times, the emperors of the two dynasties above Xiaolong did not have male concubines, and everyone gradually forgot the possibility of male concubines.But the emperor actually proposed to make Xiao Xiang a noble concubine, which was beyond the imagination of all the officials.

Everyone knows that the current emperor is just an inconspicuous sixth prince, so unlike the second prince, he has never been taught and raised by the prince.Although Xiaolong's innate imperial aura makes people naturally willing to bow their heads and bow their heads and obey his orders.It was because no one taught him how to be a king when he was young, which made the current emperor different from the previous kings, and he was more unscrupulous in dealing with things, which made people feel at a loss.

However, no matter how wanton it is, the emperor would never think that the emperor would change him from a guard to a male concubine because he wanted to keep a man.

All the officials turned around in astonishment, came back to their senses, saw the emperor on the seat still hugging the man affectionately, and then hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison, "The emperor is holy. Long live the emperor. Congratulations to the imperial concubine and auspicious marriage!"

Sitting on Xiaolong's lap, Xiao Xiang watched the courtiers prostrate themselves, but felt no joy in his heart.

What kind of joke is this? ...auspicious engagement? !It means... Is it that I want to marry the emperor? ! ......yes.Doesn't being the emperor's concubine mean being the emperor's harem concubine?  …

Xiao Xiang turned around and looked at Xiaolong, only to see the other party looking at him with a smile, "Xiang'er, let's be together forever."

forever again...

But, I don't want to be with Xiaolong forever...

Xiao Xiang lowered his eyes and looked blank, but Xiaolong had no time to pay attention.Those cold eyes fell on the minister who spoke first, "Li Qing's family, just now you said that Xiang'er falsely accused Hong Shinian? Do you have evidence? Or are you just talking nonsense because you dare not speak up?" ?”

"Emperor!... Your Majesty!" The minister knelt on the ground in panic, "I do know that Taifu Hong is not the one who framed the Fourteenth Prince and General Cui Xuan! The real mastermind may be Someone else!"

Xiaolong still put one hand on Xiao Xiang's waist, and lazily raised the other hand, "Take him into the prison."

Xiaolong looked at the people being escorted out with cold eyes.

That person falsely accused Xiang'er, it was already wrong.And knowing Hong Shinian's inside story somehow, he couldn't live anymore...
