Ganlin Palace.

When Liang Zhen entered the door, the officials of the Inner Court Division were unfolding the beauty scrolls for Zhu Yunxuan to see.

After the establishment of the Dayan Dynasty, the concubines were very important to their background. They always selected daughters of the right age from the families of nobles and officials, and then went through layers of selection. Finally, the empress dowager and the emperor personally determined the candidates for concubines, and the rest were good. It will be given to princes, grandsons and other clan princes. Although it is still possible to have a male concubine and a male concubine, only those with some family background will not want their sons to give birth to children, so the selection in the palace does not involve men. Of course, if the emperor takes a fancy to someone Lang Jun, who intends to enter the harem, is another matter.

Now that there is no queen mother in the palace, it is entirely up to Zhu Yunxuan to make the decision. These officials of the Inner Court Department have figured out his preferences and sent him more than 300 pictures of beautiful women. A hundred people, and then these people will be sent to him and let him choose carefully.

After only reading more than ten volumes, Zhu Yunxuan was already a little tired. After thinking about it, he instructed the people: "Go and invite Shu and the eldest princess to the palace, and ask her to help me check it out."

"Why do you have to be so reluctant if you don't like it? Your majesty's own queen doesn't even want to ask someone to check it out. What's the point of this?"

Zhu Yunxuan turned around, saw Liang Zhen approaching, and was stunned for a moment, Liang Zhen had not been to Ganlin Palace in private for a long time, and Zhu Yunxuan almost forgot that he was the only one who dared to break in like this Come, let's talk nonsense in this Ganlin Palace.

Asking people to take the scroll and retreat, Zhu Yunxuan looked at Liang Zhen cautiously: "What is the matter with King Zhao coming here?"

Liang Zhen caught a glimpse of one of the confiscated pictures on the imperial case. He paced over and unfolded it, and said with a 'tsk', "This little girl is only fourteen years old, and she looks so tender and young, such a majesty also Can you do it?"

Zhu Yunxuan frowned, just as he was about to say something, the eunuch of the Inner Court Department left and returned, embarrassingly pleaded guilty to take away the missing scroll.

Liang Zhen smiled again: "I dare to say that the picture just now is definitely not that they forgot to take it, but left it on purpose. I am afraid that it has taken advantage of others, and I want His Majesty to take a second look."

"So what?" Zhu Yunxuan didn't care about such trivial matters, and he still understood the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish.

"No, does your Majesty think that little girl is pretty?"

Zhu Yunxuan looked away, and said indifferently, "What matters in choosing a concubine is not appearance."

"Then what does Your Majesty care about?" Liang Zhen raised the corners of his lips, "Temperament, family background, or... well-being?"

"Is it related to King Zhao?"

Liang Zhen's eyes darkened, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he changed the subject: "I will stay here today."

Zhu Yunxuan's expression turned cold in an instant, Liang Zhen took a step forward, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, and slowly rubbed the other hand on his cheek, whispering softly, "Your Majesty, after so long, you don't want to be a minister at all. Is it? I miss you day and night."

Zhu Yunxuan suppressed his anger and didn't answer, Liang Zhen stuck it up and put a light kiss on the corner of his lips: "I'll settle it with Your Majesty at night."

After nightfall, they were the only ones left in the dormitory. Zhu Yunxuan sat silently beside the bed, his shoulders tensed, but his tightly clasped hands were trembling slightly.

Liang Zhen sat down next to him, took his hand and gently opened his fingers, clasped them together with his own, and sighed: "Is your majesty so afraid of ministers?"

"...Why are you still here?" Zhu Yunxuan's hoarse voice was filled with a hint of choking, "When will you let go of... me?"

Liang Zhen raised his hand, pinched his chin, forced him to turn his head, bullied him, and kissed his lips.

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered, passively enduring the other's lingering kiss.

Liang Zhen murmured between his lips and tongues: "I won't let it go in this life."

Being pressed and entering from behind, Zhu Yunxuan's tense body shrank back, gritted his teeth and refused to say a word, Liang Zhen leaned down, kissed his slightly dry lips along his spine, and then pressed it against his left waist The blooming red plums wandered inch by inch, feeling the slight trembling of the people below.

Zhu Yunxuan's tightly closed eyes kept shedding tears, and he didn't know whether it was pain or comfort.

The night was getting darker, and even the palace lanterns seemed to have dimmed a lot. The candlelight was miserable, reflecting the blurry figures entwined behind the bed curtains.

Gao An brought in the hot water. Liang Zhen hugged Zhu Yunxuan and gently wiped off the stickiness on his body. At the end, he instructed Gao An: "Bring a pot of hot tea here, you should also go and rest, there is no one to serve here."

Gao An hesitantly glanced at Zhu Yunxuan, who buried his head in Liang Zhen's arms and couldn't see his expression clearly. Seeing that he had no objection, he responded and retreated.

The tea was quickly delivered, and Liang Zhen poured a cup and handed it to Zhu Yunxuan's lips: "moisten your throat."

Zhu Yunxuan took a sip from his hand in a daze, Liang Zhen hooked his lips and smiled, took something from his sleeve, threw it into a cup, and instantly dissolved in the water, and handed the cup again. In front of Zhu Yunxuan: "It's all finished."

Zhu Yunxuan frowned subconsciously: "What is that?"

Liang Zhen lowered his head and kissed the hair on top of his head with his lips: "Naturally it's a good thing."

Zhu Yunxuan didn't believe it: "What is it?"

"Doesn't your majesty want to spread the branches and leaves, have more children and be blessed? This is a good thing that can help your majesty achieve his wish."

Zhu Yunxuan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Liang Zhen in disbelief: "What did you say...what?"

Liang Zhen smiled lightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know the medicine for childbirth, right?"

Zhu Yunxuan's lips trembled, and he pushed away Liang Zhen, who was hugging him: "Don't even think about it! Even if I die, it will never be what you want!"

Liang Zhen disagreed and said, "Don't talk stupid, what do you do to keep your mouth shut."

"You have to force me like this, and I will die with you if it's a big deal!" Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were red, and he suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in the secret compartment by the bedside, "I want to kill you! I must kill you!"

Liang Zhen's gaze fell on the sharp dagger that glowed with cold light, and he paused: "Your Majesty is hiding this by the bed, do you want to stab the minister to death when he is not paying attention? Your Majesty thinks that this will get his wish. ?"

Zhu Yunxuan put the dagger against his chest, he would never be able to beat Liang Zhen alone, but he was not afraid of death: "I don't have the ability to kill you, but if you insist on doing this, I will die in front of you now! If you think it's okay to keep a corpse, you can try it!"

Liang Zhen lowered his gaze and quietly looked at Zhu Yunxuan, who was extremely angry and full of grief and anger in front of him: "Does your majesty have to do this?"

"You forced me!"

"Doesn't your majesty want a child? I also want it. If your majesty gives birth to a child, you will take your majesty's surname and become a prince..."

Zhu Yunxuan interrupted him angrily: "Don't think about it! You know that you and I are brothers, how can you..."

"Not a real brother," Liang Zhen said calmly, "Chen has nothing to do with the late emperor, Chen's father is the second son of the Liang family, and Chen's father... is his cousin, surnamed Xiao Ming Junbo, and Chen died before he was born. on the battlefield in the South China Sea."

Zhu Yunxuan didn't believe it, Liang Zhen shook his head: "Chen's father was deliberately sent to Nanyang by the late emperor to die. The late emperor's biological son jumped off the cliff with his father twenty years ago, and was smashed to pieces. The late emperor admitted the wrong person."

The tears in Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were shaky: "What does this have to do with me? What does this have to do with me? Why do you want revenge? Why do you have to humiliate me like this?"

Liang Zhen frowned slightly: "I said it earlier, the person I want to take revenge on has never been you, I didn't humiliate you, I just love you and want you..."

"But I don't want to!" Zhu Yunxuan said hoarsely, "You can only say what you want! Why don't you ever ask me what I want?! Why do you force me again and again?! I said I don't want to! Don't! Why do you Just can't let me go?!"

Liang Zhen grabbed his wrist abruptly and pulled the man in front of him: "You are mine, don't even think about any harem or heirs! You can only give birth to me if you want to be born!"

Zhu Yunxuan opened his eyes wide, and water kept pouring out: "I said it before, you can't think about it unless I die..."

"If you really die, I will immediately start killing people and destroy your country completely. Even if the Marquis of Dingyuan or someone else has the ability to lead troops to kill you, then the world will definitely be ruined. This is your best wishes. If you really don't care about the country of the family, you will die!"

Zhu Yunxuan stared at him in amazement: "How can you be so despicable..."

Liang Zhen sneered: "Don't you already know what kind of person I am?"

"How can you...how can you..."

"What I do depends on what you think. Your Majesty has to think clearly."

After a long while, the dagger in Zhu Yunxuan's hand fell to the ground, and he closed his eyes in pain, unable to even die, what could he do: "...you hate the late emperor, you hate him for persecuting your father to make you and your father flesh and blood Separation, now you have to do the same thing again, in the future? In the future you want this child to hate you too?"

Liang Zhen said indifferently, "Let him go."

"You are clearly the same person as the late emperor. What right do you have to say that you are pitiful? You are as contemptible as him!"

Liang Zhen narrowed his eyes lightly: "At least I won't say I love you while marrying someone else. I said that as long as you are, it is as long as you, and no one else will do."

But I don't want this kind of love, and I can't bear it... Zhu Yunxuan just shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he couldn't say more.

The teacup was handed to Zhu Yunxuan's lips again, and Liang Zhen patiently coaxed him: "Drink it, think in a good place, it won't be long before Your Majesty will have a prince."

Holding the back of his neck, he slowly fed the tea into his mouth, and watching him swallow all the drops, Liang Zhen's eyes brought a smile again: "Good boy."

He put it on and kissed Zhu Yunxuan tenderly, licked and kissed his soft lips again and again, Zhu Yunxuan opened his eyes suddenly, tears had run out, and the last ray of light in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the deepest emptiness and despair.
