forget the river

Chapter 22

As a result, after going around in circles, Duan En returned to the emperor's side.Although Duan En also felt baffled, but thinking that his brain was not enough, there were many things he didn't understand, so he didn't take it to heart.The good news is that the handsome emperor's attitude towards him has returned to when we first met him. When we looked at him, we could see his smiling face and gentle expression.

So gentle, but there is an obvious alienation.Duan En likes the emperor at this time very much, even if he appears grandly in front of Kyung Luo, he will not feel at a loss.But there was still some tingling pain in my heart.Duan En gradually began to hate himself for being so entangled. It would be great if he hadn't met Kyung Luo.

As a shadow guard, Duan En spends most of his time doing nothing. Compared with the place where he needs to be on duty day and night, it sounds dangerous and exhausting to protect the emperor, but Duan En is not afraid of hardship. Emperor Kyungmin didn't need anyone to worry about him, so Kyungra felt more relaxed when he came back.

What's more, after reporting with the Secretary of the Prohibition, Duan En realized the difference between himself and the royal family, and even understood that his fate with the emperor had passed away so far, and he felt uncontrollable.Until returning to the emperor, seeing that person, the feeling of weightlessness accumulated in my heart for a long time was swept away.Duan En, who is very simple even in sorrow and joy, is indeed a simple to a little silly person.

Duan En was so stupid that he didn't even notice Kyung Rak's naked gaze.In other words, Duan En may be a little aware of it, but when he accidentally saw Kyung Luo's eyes, as if seeing someone else through himself, Duan En couldn't understand, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.Duan En didn't understand this sour feeling that he had never had before, so he simply pretended not to care and didn't take it to heart.

The mission to Xiangyi is about to depart, and Shi Miao, the nominal imperial concubine, has been put on the stage again.

Regarding the imperial concubine—Princess Shi Miao, there are always rumors in the palace.Rumor has it that Princess Shimiao was sent as a hostage to Kingdom Kyoung for marriage.

These rumors were originally spread only in the harem, but they were scattered outside the palace for some reason, and some ministers who were busy gaining influence once again came up with the idea of ​​choosing a concubine for the emperor.Those officials tried in vain to send the unmarried girls from their clans into the palace, so as to pave the way for their official careers and consolidate their family power.

Therefore, the content written over and over again in the daily memorial, whether it is a reminder or a clear statement, is thinking about how to carry out the election of concubines by the whole people.Even moved the matter of the harem to the early court, and the officials remonstrated.It's a pity that the queen mother has passed away, and no one is forcing the emperor to inherit the family. Kyung Luo said, "I and the imperial concubine are doing well, why do you want to take part in the emperor's family affairs" and solved it straightforwardly.

Kyungra is a lazy person, and he refuses to act like that.He and Shi Miao spend their days happily and leisurely. Depending on how old she is, Shi Miao always likes to talk to herself. Kyung Luo wants to be clean, so he doesn't even bother to find Shi Miao, so as not to be told about being fat and thin. It's a matter of not sleeping well.

But this time when the Xiangyi mission came to visit, Kyungro had no choice but to go.Bite the bullet and go to the imperial concubine's palace to look for someone, but she was reprimanded again for "looking sallow and not eating well".

Of course, Duan En is not qualified to hear these trivial thoughts.Duan En was originally going to accompany the emperor, but because of his status and male status, it was difficult for him to enter the imperial concubine's bedroom, which was full of female relatives, so he could only guard outside the palace.

Duan En came here for the first time, standing not too far away, looking at this different palace in the Central Plains.The palace where Concubine Shi Miao lived alone was built one-to-one according to Concubine Shi's residence in Xiangyi.The decoration of bamboo weaving and hollowing out does not see the characteristics of the Central Plains at all, and it also adds some exotic flavor to the palace full of cornices and red walls.If the emperor hadn't used his heart, how could he have achieved this level.

Tired of looking at the house, Duan En stood with his sword in his arms. Not far away, he could see the way the emperor and the concubine were talking, and their lips were pursed together, but the voice of the words could not be heard.

At this time, the imperial concubine was pouring tea for the emperor, and the emperor seemed to say something, which made the imperial concubine smile.The appearance of this husband and wife reconciling is not as unbearable as the rumors say.Duan En rarely saw the emperor laughing heartily, this was the first time Duan En saw Kyung Luo like this.Very nice.

Duan En couldn't help staring at Kyung Luo all the time, and also stared at the intimate emperor and concubine with wide eyes, as if sand had been rubbed into his eyes, sour and stinging.I have never been so glad that I am wearing a mask, so that I will not show my ugly appearance and have no cover.

Such eager eyes, not to mention Kyung Luo, even the imperial concubine was aware of it.Kyungra looked up at Duan En naturally, with a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth, smiling.It seemed to signal Duan En not to be overly nervous, in the imperial concubine's palace, he was safe.

The imperial concubine noticed the unnatural sight, but couldn't find the source of the sight.She followed the emperor's eyes and looked over with concern, but she couldn't find Duan En, who was missing.The emperor smiled and raised his hand to show her where Duan En was.Concubine Shi Miao quickly found the figure in the dense forest, nodded and smiled.

Harmony?Made in heaven?A perfect match?All the words in the world that express harmony between husband and wife are probably used to describe them.Concubine Shimiao is the most beautiful woman in Xiangyi. Although Kyunglok looks not masculine, he has a very beautiful and gorgeous face. Even his eyes have the taste of a husband and wife. They are obviously a natural couple.

Only such a concubine should be worthy of such an emperor.Duan En didn't know why, in his heart, he hoped that the rumors that the emperor and his wife were at odds in the palace were true.

At this time, the imperial concubine tugged on the emperor's sleeve, leaned over and said something affectionately, as if no one was there.The two of them no longer cared that there was a guard watching them, and they only had eyes on each other, so no one even noticed Duan En's envious eyes.He had been treated tenderly by the emperor, but he never thought that the gentleness of the emperor was not only for him.

Now that no one can see him, Duan En lowered his head, took off the silver mask covering his face, rubbed his eyes, and sighed.This capital city is windy and sandy, always charming eyes, making them hazy.

Two days later, after the emperor visited the imperial concubine's palace in person, the post envoy from the front came to report that the mighty group of the Xiangyi mission had crossed the Changhe River.Even if the post envoy rushed to the capital to send a secret order, the limitation of time and space was unavoidable.After roughly estimating the time-consuming, when the palace received the news, the advance personnel of the mission should have arrived in Luo County.

This distance, whether it is far or near from the capital, really happened to be the time to start preparations for martial law and reception matters.

Originally, there was no need to be nervous when the mission came to visit, but this time the mission from Xiangyi came with a lot of people and a great momentum.What's more, even the king of a country in Xiangyi came in person, let alone sending guards, or monitoring Xiangyi and his party.

There is no room for mistakes in these matters, and Kyung Luo can't do everything by himself, let alone let others take over, and still leave it to Lu Mocheng to make the preparations.Lu Mocheng, who is used to wind and rain, couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking carefully, the assignment of the imperial guards department cannot be moved, and the forbidden department is all useless in the trash, thinking about it can only be from the front line. The Lu Family Army dispatched manpower.

With Wuyou Lu Mocheng assisting, the guards of the capital needn't worry.In the current Kyung Luo, Lu Mocheng will be the one to handle all the swords and guns, and Kyung Xiang will do the rest of the chores.

There are many miscellaneous things, but there is no direction. Thanks to Jingxiang's clarity, it will not be a mess.Now there is only one thing that makes Jingxiang the first two big things, and that is the entertainment program at the banquet.The Empress Dowager just finished the New Year's Eve, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be such messy preparations.But the visitor is a guest, so you must not neglect, what to do, Jingxiang has not thought of.

Having a headache for several nights and not sleeping well, Kyung Xiang went to ask Kyung Luo what to do with his panda eyes and black face, and Kyung Luo thought of Lu Mocheng again.Speaking of which, there is a baby in Lu Mocheng's family.

But despite Kyung Luo's coercion and lure, Lu Mocheng did not let go of his promise to let a place like Lanli Palace take part in right and wrong.How could Kyung Luo give up so easily, he went to find Lan Li with Lu Mocheng on his back, and promised a wish in exchange for Lan Li's help.

Knowing that the emperor promises a thousand dollars, Lan Li naturally agreed, and Lu Mocheng couldn't object.As for what to promise, only Lan Li and Kyung Luo know.Entering Lu Mocheng out of curiosity, he acted coquettishly and pretended to be fierce, but he couldn't get the words out of Lan Li's mouth.At night, Lan Li was tossed and cried on the bed in different ways, but he didn't ask.Lu Mocheng couldn't bear it, so he had no choice but to let go.

After that, there were still some minor matters, and Duan En was seconded to Lu Mocheng to direct.Temporarily leaving Kyung Rak's side, the time spent with Kyung Rak suddenly shortened.Duan En breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan En didn't know what happened to himself recently, people who had never been in a hurry began to become very anxious.It's like he's never been before.Indifferent and carefree, that's what he looks like. "Duan En", an existence without desires and needs, shouldn't be swayed by other things.

The description of "unintentional" is what "that person" told me.A "unintentional" person, since he met the emperor of the country, he has become unlike himself.How can a "unintentional" person care about other people's moods, how he cares about other people's eyes, how can he be happy, how can he be worried, how can he be sad, and...how can he care.

Duan En couldn't figure it out, couldn't let it go, the demon tormented him day and night, he missed the quiet heartbeat.Fortunately, being seconded by Lu Mocheng, Duan En was relieved to be able to stay away from Kyung Luo temporarily.He found that as long as he left Kyungra, those anxious emotions would disappear, and as long as he didn't think of Kyungra, he wouldn't be able to bear an indescribable feeling of wanting nothing.

It's just that as the time away from Kyung Luo's side is getting longer and longer, Duan En has an emotion called "missing".The feeling of longing is beyond comprehension.

Compared to Duan Eun's entanglement with himself, Kyung Rak looks really relaxed.Because he has a lot of things to deal with, and he is not a hands-off emperor, so he must be busy coordinating.

Today Lan Li entered the palace with Lu Mocheng, and was directly led to the imperial concubine's palace.Because of many unspeakable reasons, Lan Li is still dressed as a woman.

I was led to the imperial concubine's palace by the palace people, and the emperor happened to be there, holding the scroll, I don't know what to say to the imperial concubine.

Lan Li greeted the two of them and waited quietly without interrupting.

At this time, Kyung Luo was checking with Shi Miao about the situation of the people who came to Xiangyi, and naturally he also mentioned the person Shi Miao admired, who accompanied him this time as the king's bodyguard.

Although the conversation between the two was very cryptic, Lan Li was not stupid, so he understood most of it.He was not stupid, so he naturally saw that this was a code word agreed upon by the emperor and the imperial concubine, so he pretended he hadn't heard anything, didn't care about anything, and casually flipped through the music score on the table.

It's just that Princess Shimiao's obvious expression, and the look in her eyes when she mentioned the person she yearns for are very eager, Lan Li, who was sitting far away, caught her eyes with a glance.The princess is just a simple girl.But at this moment, Kyungra seemed to be in a daze, dazed and didn't know what to think.

The way these two get along is so strange that Lan Li couldn't help but become curious.

The imperial concubine seemed to ask the emperor something, seeing that the emperor did not answer, the imperial concubine asked eagerly again, seeing Kyung Luo nodding, there was a clear look of anticipation in his eyes.But Lan Li was very surprised why there was anxiety and other subtle fears in the concubine's expectant eyes.

On the other side of the palace, Lu Mocheng is deploying the defense of the palace, placing trustworthy soldiers everywhere.I even dug out the old maps of the palace from 30 years ago. Those old maps are treasures, and all the secret passages and darkrooms that should be there are listed on it.

Lu Mocheng was jumping for joy as he lined up his troops.He knew that Lan Li was in the palace at this time.After the last place is arranged, you can go to Lan Li, and take him around the palace by the way, to see the unusual scenery outside.

Just thinking about it, some soldiers came to report suddenly.

A black-skinned burly man knelt down on one knee in front of him, wanting to report something.Lu Mocheng asked people to stand up, looked carefully, saw that they were the people who were sent out at the beginning, and pretended to gossip, while walking farther and farther quietly, until a safe place began to ask questions.

"General, my subordinate has already found out the case you asked me to investigate. But this time, my subordinate happened to encounter a coincidence and wanted to report it to you!" said the brawny man.

Seeing his subordinate chattering, Lu Mocheng couldn't help laughing, and promised to let him listen to it.The more he listened, the darker his face became.

This subordinate passed by Duan En's hometown a while ago, a village.Originally, it was just a one-night stay, but happened to live next door to Duan En's house.

The old lady next door knew that it was someone from the capital, so she mentioned Duan En again, and immediately began to tell the story to this person mysteriously.

Duan En's mother has an only son, but his name is not Duan En.The only son, named Duan Shuang, accidentally fell off a cliff one day, and the old mother cried and went blind, and was accidentally injured, and was rescued by an ugly man.It is said that this ugly person lost his memory, wandered in the wild, was taken in by his old mother at home, and named Duan En.

Later, the blind old mother misses her child, and is overly sad and mentally disturbed, unable to tell whether Duan En or Duan Shuang.What happened after that is unclear.

Lu Mocheng's heart skipped a beat.Although Duan En is not his mother's biological son, it is not enough to doubt anything.But Lu Mocheng had an intuition that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this time, there was another report from outside the moon cave that the Xiangyi mission had arrived outside the city gate.

What?Lu Mocheng was taken aback.

The author has something to say: I forgot to post it yesterday, I will post it today, and there are still 3 chapters to finish
