    illiterate?Lingyan was dumbfounded.

    If His Majesty suddenly called the girl to chant scriptures, wouldn't it be certain death.

    "Girl, are you not very literate?" Ling Yan asked with faint hope.

    Liu Ruoqian's voice was low, a little guilty: "I still know a little bit."

    Ling Yan patted his chest: "Then..."

    Before Ling Yan finished speaking, the little girl stretched out three fingers: "I recognize almost thirty of them."

    Ling Yan choked, and the heart that had just dropped a little bit lifted up again, and he forced a smile and said: "...that's also good."

    Thirty characters are better than nothing, at least the girl knows what the characters look like, right?

    Seeing Lingyan's wry smile, Liu Ruoqian felt a little guilty: "Lingyan, isn't it too little?"

    The family is a farmer, who used to live in Xingshan Village.

    There is no school in Xingshan Village, and only parents with a little far-sightedness in the village will let their boys go to the school in the county.

    And her parents are one of the few far-sighted parents. They said that the elder brother and the second brother should not be blind for a lifetime like them.

    So, both the eldest brother and the second brother went to the county to study for a few years, so later, the eldest brother could understand the art of war, and the second brother was only able to settle accounts when doing business.

    At that time, seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother were going to study, Brother Da Mao also wanted to go.

    But Uncle Li and Aunt Li were reluctant, saying that their ancestors were farmers for generations, and reading was of no use.

    In addition, Brother Da Mao is the eldest son of the family, so when he goes to study, the family will lose a labor force.

    Later, it was the parents who persuaded them, saying that there was work at home, and the two families just helped each other.No matter how bad it is, when you are too busy, let the children ask for leave and come back to help for a few days, and it will pass.

    She was only a few years old at that time, and she didn't know the use of reading.

    But seeing Brother Da Mao crying anxiously, hiding behind the house and secretly wiping his tears, it's so pitiful.

    She ran to hold Aunt Li's hand, raised her head and said solemnly, she will do Brother Big Mao's work.

    Originally, Aunt Li was relieved by her parents' persuasion, but when she heard her words, she was happy to hug her into her arms and kiss her, saying that the daughter of Qianqian had already spoken, so let that brat go.

    She happily ran to tell Brother Big Mao the good news, Brother Big Mao was so happy that he jumped up and yelled.

    Pick her up and throw her into the sky one by one.

    She was a little scared, but the feeling of being thrown up and down was very exciting, and she also laughed and yelled.

    The eldest brother and the second brother heard her "scream", and Sa Yazi ran over, snatched her back, and beat Brother Da Mao again.

    Brother Da Mao didn't fight back this time, he just quacked and laughed.

    The eldest brother and the second brother thought he was crazy, let go of the eldest brother, carried her and ran away.

    Oh, right.When they were young, the eldest brother and the second brother liked to build a chair with their arms and carry her to run.

    Later, her three older brothers went to the county to study for several years together.

    Fortunately, Xingshan Village is not too far from the county seat, so they come home after school every day, and they can play with her.

    As the most favored little girl in the family, she didn't go to school.

    Because there is no girl from any family in Xinghua Village to study.

    At that time, she thought that in the world, girls did not study at home.

    When the three older brothers came home, they were always willing to teach her how to read.

    But she felt bored, so she didn't learn much.

    Later, the family moved to the county seat, and her neighbor was also a merchant, surnamed Lu.

    The Lu family had a girl who was about her age, named Qiaolan.Qiaolan held a book of stories to read all day long, and only then did she realize that the girl's family also read books.

    Qiaolan smiled happily when she was reading the storybook, she was curious, so she asked Qiaolan to read it to her, just like that, she also listened to a lot of the storybook.

    At that time Qiaolan still wanted to teach her how to read, and she said that some words were hard to pronounce, so she had to read them to have fun.

    But she is lazy, too lazy to learn.At that time, Qiaolan read to her, thinking that if she married Brother Da Mao in the future, she would just ask Brother Da Mao to read to her after marriage, so why bother.

    But if she knew that one day, in order to keep her head, she would have to read some Buddhist scriptures, she should learn how to read.

    Hey, sorry about that.

    Liu Ruoqian lowered her head: "Lingyan, can I still be saved?"

    Seeing the little girl wilting again, Ling Yan couldn't bear to say anything to hurt her, mainly because it was useless.

    Gritting his teeth, he said, "It's helpful! This servant will teach you, and I will teach you now."

    His Majesty summoned people to chant sutras, always at night, the girl just entered the palace yesterday, and she escaped the night, no one knows if she will be selected tonight.

    "Okay." Liu Ruoqian followed suit, and she didn't eat the silver cake in her hand, and put it back on the table together with the plate.

    Then he sat upright and said, "Come on."

    Ling Yan whispered: "Girl, it's best not to let others know about your illiteracy."

    Liu Ruoqian was puzzled: "Why?"

    Isn't it embarrassing to be illiterate?She doesn't think so, those words are there, she just hasn't learned it yet.

    Ling Yan stood up, ready to send the others out.

    Liu Ruoqian thought for a while, then grabbed Ling Yan: "Call Lingzhi over here, let her listen too."

    Ganoderma lucidum has a simple mind and a big personality, even if she knew about it, she wouldn't be able to help her. Liu Ruoqian didn't want to scare her at all.

    But after thinking about the current situation, she felt that it was better to let Lingzhi know, so that there were fewer chances of making mistakes.

    "That's fine." Lingyan nodded.

    There were only three masters and servants left in the house, and Ling Yan patiently explained: "Girl, when you were in the imperial garden earlier, the slaves inquired around, and the slaves kept all the money spent, and I will read it to you later......"

    Lingyan Seventeen, two years older than Liu Ruoqian, and grew up in the scheming prime minister's mansion, can be said to be mature and well-informed.

    Facing Liu Ruoqian's pure eyes that were as clear as autumn water, Lingyan unconsciously lowered his voice, and patiently told her what he knew.

    Although he is a newcomer and unfamiliar with people and places, but money can turn ghosts around.Under the premise of being willing to spend money, she really got a lot of news.

    Now in this harem, there are more than a dozen masters, big and small, who have been sent into the palace one after another in the past few months.

    At the beginning, all the beautiful young beauties also had the idea of capturing the emperor's heart.

    Even, leaving aside the status of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and not mentioning the name of the heroic and powerful Great Jin No. 1 God of War, the current Holy One is the No. 1 handsome man in the Great Jin Dynasty.

    That face alone is enough to make young women fall in love with him at first sight and secretly agree with him.

    However, His Majesty is a person who does not understand customs.So far, no concubine has been called to sleep.

    Calling people to chant scriptures at night is not uncommon.

    At the beginning, all the masters were scrambling to go.If anyone gets the sign, they will be overjoyed, and they will go there dressed up in fancy clothes.

    Although they were kicked out after reciting the scriptures, the concubines, who were lonely in the deep palace and only had His Majesty in their eyes, continued to rush forward.

    But this month, before halfway through, His Majesty beheaded many concubines for no reason.

    The whole harem was terrified, everyone gave up their thoughts of inviting pets, and stayed behind closed doors, for fear of killing them.

    Now in the harem, all the concubines are afraid of avoiding His Majesty, and there is no such thing as competing for favor.

    But who can guarantee what will happen in the future.

    What if His Majesty's enthusiasm for killing people is over, and the harem will return to its former bustle, then there will be jealousy and intrigues.

    It is inevitable that a girl will be envied and hated when she grows into such a fairy appearance.If the matter of illiteracy is known, it will inevitably be brought out and humiliated.

    After listening to Lingyan's explanation, Liu Ruoqian nodded, promising not to mention her illiteracy to others.He clenched his fist again and promised that he must learn to read well.

    Knowing that she would die if she failed to recite the scriptures, Ganoderma lucidum was so frightened that her legs went limp, her face turned pale, and she almost cried.He complained in a low voice that he thought it was a good thing for a girl to enter the palace, how could he lose his head.

    Liu Ruoqian patted her arm to comfort her: "Ganoderma lucidum, there are also immortal concubines, we are not afraid. There is spiritual smoke, your girl just study hard."

    Lingzhi bowed to Lingyan: "Sister Lingyan, teach the girl quickly."

    Seeing that the two listened to the persuasion, Lingyan was very relieved, and took out a copy of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" from his bosom: "Girl, this is what I asked Xi Gonggong to find today, let's learn it now."

    Now His Majesty likes to listen to this sutra, almost everyone in the palace has a copy, and it is not difficult to find a copy.

    Knowing the importance of this matter, Liu Ruoqian put up all her energy and followed Lingyan to recognize each word.Ganoderma lucidum also read together.

    In the Nuan Pavilion of Drunken Flower Palace, the gentle voices of girls chanting sutras can be heard.

    I don't know when will be selected to chant sutras, and the master and servant will race against the clock.

    Fortunately, Liu Ruoqian was full of energy today, after lunch, she continued to study without even taking a nap.

    Her throat was tired, so she read silently, and the master and servant learned until it was dark.

    Thinking that she might be called to chant scriptures at any time, Liu Ruoqian was a little absent-minded when eating, and looked at the door frequently.

    Lingyan was also worried.Ganoderma lucidum, who had just learned the truth, had anxiety written all over her face.

    It wasn't until the time of You passed, and still no one came, that the three master and servant's hanging hearts fell back into their stomachs.

    Nerves were tense all day, and memorized a lot of words, plus didn't take a nap at noon. Once relaxed, Liu Ruoqian yawned several times, and was extremely sleepy.

    After taking a hot bath, fell asleep after drying hair.

    The Drunken Flower Palace is not too small, and the new maids and eunuchs all sleep in the servant's room in the wing of the hall.

    The main hall was empty, after washing the Lingyan and Ganoderma lucidum, they all slept on the couch outside.

    Inside Changning Palace.

    On the dragon couch, Lu Rengu in black underwear sat with his knees bent, his elbows resting on his raised legs, his forehead resting on one hand, his eyes drooping in silence.

    In front of the dragon couch, three zhang away, a concubine was kneeling on the ground, holding a copy of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" tremblingly in her hands, stumbling over her head while reciting.

    The trembling sound became smaller and smaller until it was barely audible at last.

    Lu Rengu frowned slightly.

    Quan Fu, who was standing beside the concubine, reminded in a low voice: "Beauty Xue, please speak up, Your Majesty can't hear you."

    Xue Meiren was terrified by the sudden shrill voice, kowtowed to the ground, and begged for mercy in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, my concubine made a mistake."

    Quan Fu closed his eyes bitterly, and raised his eyes to look at the man who still had an imperial demeanor even though he had a splitting headache.

    Sure enough, he raised his hand and waved lightly.

    Quan Fu whispered to the trembling Xue Meiren, "Xue Meiren, please go back."

    Beauty Xue kowtowed her head as if she had been pardoned, said tremblingly, "Thank Your Majesty for your mercy, my concubine will leave", got up and ran away, regardless of her appearance.

    Looking at the back of the fleeing man, Quan Fu sighed softly.

    This is the second place tonight, and the beauty Wu in front is more courageous, and she is within three feet.

    Although cold sweat broke out on his forehead, at any rate, his demeanor was not disturbed.Sitting on the chair, he read fluently and smoothly, and listened to it gently.

    It's not why, before reading it for a while, His Majesty said "Get lost".

    As for this beauty Xue, as soon as she entered the hall, she knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, even refusing to sit on a chair.

    I read it, but it was intermittent, and couldn't get popular after listening to it. It was really uncomfortable.His Majesty hasn't said a word to let him go, but he frightened himself.

    Hey, Your Majesty just killed a few assassins who pretended to be concubines, why are these little masters so frightened.

    But His Majesty has always acted like this, never explaining half a sentence to irrelevant people.His Majesty didn't speak, so he didn't dare to talk too much.

    But if this continues, there will be no one to recite the scriptures.

    Quan Fu's heart was turning a thousand times, and he saw Lu Rengu who was sitting on the couch suddenly put his hands on his head and patted him lightly.

    Quan Fu secretly thought it was bad.

    His Majesty is a person who can bear pain very much, if it is not so painful, he will definitely not make such a move.

    Disregarding the three-zhang rule, Quan Fu hurriedly came to the couch, feeling distressed: "Your Majesty, would you like me to call another beauty?"

    "Bring the wine!" Lu Rengu hoarsely said.

    Quan Fu's high-pitched voice, the whirring of the summer wind outside the window, the crackling of the candlelight, the whispering of the little eunuchs on watch outside the temple...

    Regardless of whether it was huge or subtle, all the noises were amplified at this moment, squeezing into his mind like mountains and seas, like a sledgehammer hitting hard.

    There were also the howling ghosts and howling wolves that came from nowhere, and the strange laughter seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles, shuttled back and forth in his skull.

    The whole head seemed to be about to explode in the next moment.

    Unfortunately, it never explodes.

    Lu Rengu's complexion was already pale, and his fingers began to tremble slightly.

    Knowing that His Majesty doesn't like others to talk too much when he has a headache, Quan Fu dared not speak anymore.

    He took out a medicine bottle from a side cabinet, poured out a black pill, and brought it to his mouth.

    Lu Rengu raised his hand and waved it away.

    "Bring the wine." The voice squeezed out between the teeth was filled with a thousand rage, suppressing the pain.

    Acupuncture, medicated baths, various pills and decoctions have been tried countless times, but nothing works.

    It's useless, so what's the use of eating it, it's better to drink alcohol.

    Quan Fu's eyes were red, but he didn't dare to persuade him.

    Turned around and ran out, opened the door of the palace, stepped out, and gave orders repeatedly.

    "You, go and get some jars of wine."

    Regardless of whether it is harmful or harmless, whether it is useful or not, it is always good to follow His Majesty's wishes and make him happy.

    "You, go and invite Master Zou, and tell Master Zou to prepare the carriage."

    If His Majesty is really suffering, he can only leave the palace early and rush to the temple.

    "You, go and invite Miss Liu, the daughter of the prime minister's family, to chant sutras for His Majesty."

    Liu Meiren has just entered the palace, she must have never heard of His Majesty's murder, she should not be afraid of His Majesty, maybe she can read it well.

    "Go! Go! Run!" Quan Fu's voice changed in anxiety.

    The little eunuchs took orders and ran wildly.

    Quan Fu turned around and rushed back to the hall to guard, feeling sad in his heart.

    In previous years, His Majesty would have suffered so much on the day of the Ghost Festival.

    But today is only the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, and there are still a few days left, why is His Majesty in such pain?

    "Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang, bang!"...

    In the dead of night, outside the courtyard gate of Zuihua Palace, there was a hasty knock on the door, like a reminder, continuously.

    Liu Ruoqian jumped up, sat up from the bed, and shouted habitually: "Ganoderma lucidum!"

    "Here you go, girl." Lingzhi responded, jumped off the bed, ran into the room barefoot, and hugged the little girl curled up on the bed: "Young lady, don't be afraid."

    "Girl, servant, go out and have a look." Ling Yan hurriedly put on her clothes, stepped on her shoes and left.

    Liu Ruoqian was hugged by Ganoderma lucidum, listening to the movement outside with her ears up.

    Soon, the spiritual smoke left and returned.

    Ling Yan, who had always been steady and steady, tripped over the door frame when he entered the door, and staggered twice.

    Liu Ruoqian had guesses in her heart, but she still had hope, and said in a small voice, "Lingyan, where is the water?"

    Lingyan walked to the bed, knelt down, held Liu Ruoqian's hand, her eyes were red, her throat was choked: "Girl, Changning Palace calls you to chant scriptures."

    Thinking that it took her a whole day to read the Ksitigarbha Sutra, Liu Ruoqian turned pale and said, "Shall I go now?"

    Lingzhi hugged Liu Ruoqian tightly, sobbing: "Girl, let's not go."

    "Girl, I have to go." Ling Yan was equally reluctant, but calmer and more rational.

    Not going is a capital offense.

    There may be a turning point, after all, not all the concubines who chanted sutras were killed.

    "I'll go." Liu Ruoqian didn't live enough and didn't want to die.But since he couldn't hide, he could only bite the bullet.

    "Servant help you get dressed." Ling Yan got up and went to find the clothes.

    Ling Zhi hugged Liu Ruoqian and did not let go, tears streaming down her face: "Girl, I don't want you to go."

    Liu Ruoqian patted her arm: "Good Ganoderma lucidum, be obedient."

    Ling Yan took the clothes and came over: "Ganoderma lucidum, quickly help the girl comb her hair, there is a lot of rush outside, don't make the girl go late, or she will not be punished."

    Under the service of the two, Liu Ruoqian dressed neatly and hurried out.

    Lingyan and Ganoderma lucidum followed closely behind, but they were told at the gate of Zuihua Palace that they had to follow alone.

    He looked at Ling Yan, who was nodding and drooping, and then looked at Ling Zhi, whose eyes were red and tears were streaming down.

    Liu Ruoqian smiled, and took Lingzhi's hand: "Good Lingzhi, wait for me in the room."

    Ganoderma lucidum didn't speak, she didn't let go of Liu Ruoqian's hand, tears fell down, and she didn't dare to cry out.

    She was afraid, afraid that once the girl left, she would never come back again.

    Thinking of the imminent fire at Changning Palace and the two of them still dawdling, the little eunuch who came to call for someone couldn't help urging: "Oh, my little master, you can hurry up, the slave will be lateI can't bear it."

    "Ganoderma lucidum, go back." Liu Ruoqian pulled out her hand, turned around and left with the spiritual smoke.

    The petite figure quickly disappeared into the night with the determination to die bravely.

    In Changning Palace, the sleeping hall is filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

    Lu Rengu lay crookedly on the dragon couch, his phoenix eyes were tightly closed, and his face was bloodless.

    Supporting his head with one hand, he raised the jug of wine and poured it into his mouth with the other.

    The slender fingers with well-defined joints trembled slightly, and the jug swayed slightly. Half of the wine entered the mouth, and half spilled on the front of the clothes, and a large area of the black underwear was wet.

    And he didn't seem to care at all, lifting one pot after another.

    Beside him, there were several empty wine jugs.

    Quan Fu stood at the half-closed hall door, clasped his hands, anxious.

    He turned his head for a while, glanced at His Majesty who was not sober, and then looked out with his neck stretched out: "Oh, why hasn't this happened yet?"

    Lord Zou didn't come, neither did Liu Meiren, and His Majesty has almost finished drinking the wine brought, what should we do!

    Boom!Gululu!

    In the hall, a jug fell to the floor and rolled into the distance.

    Quan Fu turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that His Majesty's hand holding the jug was drooping on the side of the couch, and the hand supporting his head also dropped, and he was lying on his back on the couch.

    My Majesty!Quan Fu's heart trembled, he turned around and ran into the hall.

    Behind him, the palace door was pushed open, and the little eunuch said: "Eunuch Fu, Miss Liu is here."

    Quan Fu didn't turn his head back: "Please come in quickly."

    Liu Ruoqian wanted to explain something to Lingyan, but before she could speak, the little eunuch grabbed her arm and pushed her in.

    Then, the door closed behind her.

    In the dimly lit hall, there was no sound.

    With a soft "click", Liu Ruoqian covered her heart in fright.

    Lu Rengu's complexion was as pale as paper, and he lay quietly with his eyes closed.

    Blue veins appeared on the forehead, handsome eyebrows were furrowed, and the hands hanging by the couch were clenched into fists.

    Your Majesty is suffering so much.Quan Fu wiped the corners of his eyes weakly, turned around and waved to Liu Ruoqian who was still standing stupidly at the door.

    Although Liu Ruoqian was afraid, she could only go forward.

    Quan Fu took out the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" from his arms, and turned his head to hand it to Liu Ruoqian.

    When he saw the face of the girl in front of him clearly, he couldn't help being surprised.

    Unexpectedly, this beauty Liu is so stunning.

    It's a pity that His Majesty is delirious from the pain now, otherwise he would definitely like the beauty of Liu.

    Quan Fu lowered his voice, offered the scriptures with both hands, and said in a respectful and urgent tone, "Liu Meiren, please chant the scriptures for Your Majesty."

    Liu Ruoqian took it with a guilty conscience, strong and calm: "Okay."

    "I'm sorry." Quan Fu bowed his hands and saluted, stepped aside, took two steps back, and stood by the couch with his hands folded.

    He knew that His Majesty didn't like him being by his side when he had a headache, but before Master Zou arrived, even if he was secretly guarded by hidden guards, he would not dare to leave.

    I'm afraid that this beauty Liu, who is also one of those people with evil intentions, will take advantage of His Majesty's weakness and suddenly strike at His Majesty's disadvantage.

    After all, regardless of whether Meiren Liu just found her from outside or not, and whether she entered the palace just a few days after returning to the mansion, it was too late to cultivate feelings with everyone in the prime minister's mansion, but Prime Minister Liu is this beauty Liu's biological father.It's a fact, the blood relationship is there, so we have to guard against it.

    Holding the scriptures in her hands, Liu Ruoqian stood two steps away from the couch, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not daring to look up at the person on the couch.

    That's His Majesty the Tyrant, if something goes wrong, someone's head will be chopped off.

    She opened the scriptures and began to chant the scriptures seriously.

    "Respectfully invite Namo Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to be merciful and compassionate..."

    Like a child who has just learned to read, one word, one word, is recited extremely slowly.

    The voice is soft, soft, and waxy, with the unique charm of a girl.

    To be honest, so far, there are no less than ten concubines in the harem who have chanted scriptures for His Majesty, but Liu Meiren is the only one who can do so at such a speed.

    Quan Fu deliberately reminded her to hurry up.

    But as each word fell into my ears, an indescribable comfort rose in my heart.

    He closed his mouth and swallowed the words back.He sounds so comfortable, presumably His Majesty will like it.

    Looking up at the couch, sure enough, His Majesty's tightly locked brows slowly relaxed.

    In a daze, Lu Rengu didn't know where he was.

    In a trance, all around screamed and killed, blood flowed into rivers, stumps formed into mountains, and there was a strong stench in the air, making people sick.

    Before he could see where the battlefield was, his eyes flashed, and he changed to another place.

    It is a terrifying underground cave, and the sky is filled with scarlet blood mist, making the eyes scarlet.

    After all the cruel punishments, they were completely changed beyond recognition. It was hard to tell whether they were humans or strange creatures. They were chained around their necks or limbs, hung in the air row by row, howling horribly...

    Ghosts cry and wolves howl, and the sound of magic pierces through the brain.

    Lu Rengu's painful head was already numb, and his whole body seemed to be on fire, scorching unbearably.

    Suddenly, a soft, waxy and sweet voice came to my ears, like a sweet and clear spring flowing through my internal organs on a hot summer day.

    The mania in my heart that was rolling like a turbulent sea, trying to destroy the world, miraculously subsided slowly.

    Quan Fu stared at Lu Rengu all the time, and seeing his clenched hands slowly relax, and his fingers no longer trembling, he couldn't help being overjoyed.

    it works!Liu Meiren's chanting is really effective in alleviating His Majesty's headache!

    Seeing Liu Ruoqian who was tense and did not dare to take a step forward, Quan Fu reminded in a soft voice: "Liu Meiren, get closer to Your Majesty."

    Hearing this, Liu Ruoqian raised her foot and took a small step forward.

    Quan Fu: "It's okay to be closer."

    Liu Ruoqian followed her words and took another small step forward.

    Originally, it was only two steps away from the couch, no matter how small the steps were, it was still two steps forward, and it was already very close to the couch.

    The green skirt swayed, and it had already touched Lu Rengu's hand hanging by the couch.

    The man's bluish-white slender fingers slightly curled up.

    Liu Ruoqian was completely unaware of this, all her attention was on the scriptures in front of her, her forehead was soaked with sweat, and her reading speed was getting slower and slower.

    It's because she has already read all the ones she recognizes, and she doesn't remember much about them.

    "...all the buddhas, all the buddhas..."

    Looking at those unfamiliar words, Liu Ruoqian repeated them twice. In desperation, she had an idea, glanced down, and began to chant: "The Tathagata smiles, the Great Bright Cloud..."

    After listening to a few sentences, Quan Fu felt that something was wrong, and just about to question, the eunuch's soft voice came from outside the door: "Eunuch Fu, I have something urgent to report."

    Hearing that it was the little eunuch who was going to call Mr. Zou, Quan Fu glanced at His Majesty who was on the couch, whose expression was gradually calming down, and then at Liu Meiren. Seeing that she was reciting scriptures wholeheartedly, he turned and hurried to the door.

    Hearing the sound of leaving footsteps, Liu Ruoqian breathed a sigh of relief.

    In this palace, as Ling Yan said, there are many rules and regulations, and even a father-in-law has to be arranged to watch closely at the side when reciting sutras.

    But Eunuch Fu didn't mention her, presumably she cut corners just now, and he didn't find out.

    It's okay, it's okay, it's over.

    If she doesn't have to die tonight, then she will definitely not eat or sleep tomorrow, and she will recite this sutra.

    Hearing the door open and close again, Liu Ruoqian couldn't hold back her curiosity, boldly moved the book from the front to the bottom, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the person on the couch.

    Although without permission, peeping at Tianyan is not allowed.

    But she has been in the palace for so long, and His Majesty the Tyrant has not spoken, so she must have fallen asleep.

    She promises that she will only take one look, just one look, and never look too much.

    But with just one glance, Liu Ruoqian couldn't look away anymore.

    In the world, how can there be such a good-looking person.

    A head of long black hair was scattered on the pillow, the facial contours were sharp and angular, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the thin lips were lightly pursed.

    The sword eyebrows are straight and slanted into the temples, and the eyelashes like duck feathers are thick and thick.

    The facial features are beautiful, but she has an aggressive aura that looks down on the world.

    But at this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, and he lay there motionless, adding a sense of fragility that I still pitied, which made people feel distressed.

    After being a human for so many years, it was the first time Liu Ruoqian saw such a beautiful person.

    The little ginseng essence was dazzled by the beauty, bewitched her eyes, bewitched her heart, and completely forgot who she was, where she was, and what she was supposed to do.

    She couldn't help but moved forward, just wanting to get closer and see more clearly.

    When her legs hit the edge of the couch and she couldn't go any further, she simply raised her legs and climbed onto the couch, lying beside Lu Rengu.

    Then put the scriptures aside, resting on the dragon couch with his elbows, resting his chin with both hands, staring at Lu Rengu's face obsessively.

    She didn't even notice that her elbow was on Lu Rengu's hair.

    Thanks to that ray of clear spring, the lingering noisy voices in Lu Rengu's mind slowly dissipated.

    The tearing headache was also miraculously relieved.

    The feeling of weakness after the severe pain hit, and was extremely tired all over, and drowsiness gradually increased.

    Lu Rengu's sluggish consciousness became more and more trance, and he gradually fell into a shallow sleep.

    In a daze, suddenly felt a pain in scalp.

    It's not the pain of the past that is like an ax and a knife, and it's too empty to grasp, but a real pain in the flesh | flesh.

    It seems that someone is pulling his hair?

    Who is so bold and dares to be so disrespectful to him.

    But, why did the sound of chanting just like the clear spring in summer disappeared?

    Lu Rengu's already stretched brows frowned again, his eyes rolled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

    The nympho little ginseng lying there resting her chin also discovered this.

    The tyrant brother seemed to be unwell, otherwise he slept soundly, why would he frown and wake up.

    With her hand over her head, she subconsciously stretched out a small white hand, and patted on the man's strong and broad chest.

    Just like when she was sick and uncomfortable when she was a child, her parents and brothers patted and coaxed her.

    At this moment, the soft, glutinous and sweet girlish voice that disappeared just now flooded into Lu Rengu's mind again.

    But it is no longer scriptures, but cheerful praises one after another.

    "Brother Tyrant is so pretty!"

    "It's so beautiful, I'm afraid it's not a fairy who came down from the sky."

    Who is so bold and reckless, dare to call him a tyrant, and add the word "brother"?

    Lu Rengu opened his eyes, his phoenix eyes were as deep as a pool, and his majestic gaze was as sharp as a knife.

    Into the eyes, is a face close at hand.

    The distance was so close that he could only see the eyes bent into crescent moons, it was a little girl.

    The moment the four eyes met, the little girl seemed to be frightened, her bent eyes suddenly widened, and her head suddenly tilted back, opening the distance between the two of them.

    But her tender little paw was still pressing on his chest and did not move away.

    The little girl's eyelashes fluttered, and her dark and moist eyes were like a newborn deer, bright as stars.

    Although she didn't open her eyes on the tree last time in the Royal Garden, and her face was puffed up and slightly deformed, Lu Rengu still recognized her.

    According to Zou Qi's report, this is the second girl Liu Xiangfu just found, his beauty Liu.

    Having grown up in the countryside since childhood, it is no wonder that he can make such behaviors as sleeping on a tree.

    But, why did she lie on his couch and come up to him to look at him?

    Could it be that in the groggy, that sweet voice like a clear spring, was she chanting sutras?

    But why, the chanting came to his couch, and she stared at him with her chin resting.

    Not only that, one arm was pressing his hair, and one hand was still pressing on his chest.

    Also, why is it so quiet all around?

    Apart from the soft breathing of the little girl in front of her, there was no noise in her ears.

    This is the peace that has never been experienced in many years since he was struck by lightning.

    In the past, when the pain became like this, one must be unconscious all night, and the sun shone brightly on the second day to relieve it.

    But right now, the hall is dark, only the candles are burning.

    Although don't know what time it is, but the smell of alcohol is lingering all around, chest is icy cold, and the skirt of clothes soaked by alcohol is still wet.

    This shows that according to his previous loss of consciousness, it didn't take long.

    There are many doubts in Lu Rengu's heart.

    At this moment, the little girl in front of her spoke again.

    "Brother Tyrant's eyes are also beautiful!"

    nice?Is this a compliment to him?Lu Rengu was slightly surprised.

    Being stared at by him, she still has the courage to praise him, which is rare.

    When he was young, he often heard praises, praises for his handsome appearance, praises for his extraordinary bearing at such a young age, that he is worthy of being the prince of a country.

    At that time, he was the son of the emperor and the empress, the most favored prince of the late emperor.

    But later, overnight, the queen mother's throne was taken away, and he also moved to the cold palace together.

    After that, no one praised him anymore.

    Later, he was forced to commit suicide by witnessing his mother.

    But everyone, they only remembered him wielding a dagger, making him go crazy and manic when he saw anyone.

    In the next few years, when he grows up, people will only remember his tyrannical nature, ruthless and bloodthirsty.

    Now, except for the few loyal people around him, everyone fears him.Of course, there are those who hate him and those who hate him.

    Except for the assassins who wanted his life, most of the women forced into the palace were obsessed with his power and status.

    Even wanting to be favored by him is to achieve his own goal one day.

    Mostly, it is to ascend to the next position, bring the whole family to prosperity, and enjoy the supreme glory and wealth.

    There is also the ambitious one who intends to conceive his dragon species, and then cooperate with the mother clan to get rid of him, and then help the youngest son ascend the throne and sit on the position of queen mother, thus controlling the entire Jinjiang Mountains.

    There is another one, who was originally a concubine in the family, but because her aunt made things difficult for her, her life was not satisfactory, and she wanted to use his hand to return to her natal family in the future to avenge her.

    Over the past few months, so many people have been summoned to chant scriptures, and he can hear all the women's thoughts clearly.

    Or dirty, or ulterior motives, or ulterior motives.

    But so far, no one really likes him.

    He just killed a few assassins with his own hands, and those women were all scared to avoid him like snakes and scorpions, not even daring to come out.

    But only the staring-eyed little girl in front of her didn't have any other plans in mind.

    It seems that she just fell in love with his skin, purely greedy for his beauty.

    interesting.

    Lu Rengu looked at the stunned little girl calmly.

    "hiss!"

    The little girl moved unintentionally, and the lock of hair under her elbow moved accordingly.

    The pulling made Lu Rengu's scalp tingle for a while, and the pain made him narrow his phoenix eyes slightly.

    With a sudden "hiss", Liu Ruoqian's heart trembled, she completely recovered from the beauty, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.

    "What's going on, Brother Tyrant slept soundly, why did he wake up all of a sudden?"

    "I was caught peeping at Tianyan, and I was about to lie on his face, with my arms pressing down on his hair, and my hands were still pressing on his chest..."

    "This, how can this be done!"

    Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Liu Ruoqian suddenly sat up on her knees.

    Like stealing the bell, the two white and tender little paws that made a mistake were all carried behind their backs with a "swish".

    The little face the size of a palm changed color with a slap.His big dark eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

    Whenever Lu Rengu had a headache, he lost temperature from head to toe, and his whole body was cold.

    At this time, wine was spilled on the front of the clothes, and the chest was even colder.

    The white and tender little hand that pressed it earlier brought him a rare warmth, but now it was suddenly taken away, and Lu Rengu was inexplicably upset.

    According to his previous temper, if he is unhappy, he will make the person who makes him unhappy even more unhappy.

    But at this moment, the headache is relieved, the ears are quiet, and the whole body is more relaxed than ever before.

    The body is comfortable, and the mood is also joyful, and he is rare and magnanimous.

    He didn't intend to pursue this country girl's rude behavior, after all, she just returned to Beijing and just entered the palace, so it's understandable that she doesn't know the rules.

    Now, he just wants to hear her innermost thoughts again.

    The little girl's soft voice, waxy and sweet, especially when calling him "brother tyrant", don't say it, it's so nice.

    But why, after she sat up, even at such a short distance, he couldn't hear her heart anymore?

    Lu Rengu listened carefully again, but there was indeed no sound.

    But he didn't think much about it.Some people like to nag in their hearts when they have nothing to do, such as Quan Fu.And some people are very quiet in their hearts, such as Zou Qi and Uncle Chi.

    However, according to the previous performance of this little girl, she should be a person with an active heart.

    He didn't say a word at the moment, presumably he woke up suddenly and frightened her.

    In the past, he didn't like people approaching him, and he made a rule of answering three feet away, just because he didn't want to hear those noisy voices.

    Now she wants to hear what the little girl is saying, but she widens her eyes and keeps quiet.

    Lu Rengu supported the bed and sat up, and the distance between the two of them narrowed again.

    Frightened by the suddenly enlarged handsome face, Liu Ruoqian knelt and moved back.

    Lu Rengu opened his mouth and asked knowingly, "Who are you?"

    The deep and hoarse voice, full of magnetism, drilled into the ears, crisp and itchy.

    Liu Ruoqian took her hands from behind, rubbed them on her ears, and put her hands behind her back.

    Only then did he obediently answer: "I, my concubine, is Your Majesty's Liu Meiren."

    Ling Yan said that she should call herself a concubine in front of His Majesty the Tyrant, she remembered.

    Lingyan also taught her how to introduce herself if she saw His Majesty.

    But she didn't want to answer according to Lingyan's teaching, because she made a mistake.

    When she was young, if she made a mistake and her mother pretended to be angry and wanted to hit her, she would rub her against her, hugged her mother's thigh, and acted like a baby with her face up: "Don't hit, don't hit, I'm mother's Qianqian."

    Every time she said that, my mother couldn't hold back any longer, she smiled and scolded her as a little rascal, and the punishment was over.

    She had just offended His Majesty the Tyrant, and she didn't want to have her head chopped off, so she subconsciously used the tricks she used to please her mother when she was a child to please him.

    Originally, she wanted to call him brother tyrant, but she didn't dare.

    Although she thought Brother Tyrant's name was easy to pronounce, Ling Yan said that the word "tyrant" is not a good word.

    Hearing this straightforward but unmistakable answer, the corners of Lu Rengu's mouth curled up slightly.

    His willow beauty?Right.

    He looked at the little girl's hands behind her back: "Then my beauty Liu, why is she here?"

    Liu Ruoqian hurriedly picked up the scriptures left aside, held them up in front of Lu Rengu with both hands: "The concubine is here to chant scriptures for His Majesty."

    Thinking of the refreshing oasis when he was suffering, Lu Rengu nodded: "If that's the case, let's continue reading."

    The tyrant brother actually asked her to continue reading, so did she keep her head? Liu Ruoqian's tense nerves relaxed, her eyes bent involuntarily: "Yes."

    She walked back on her knees, and wanted to get down to stand and read, but Lu Rengu reached out and grabbed her arm: "Just read here."

    Just after waking up from the scarlet eyes, the eyes are green, looking refreshing.

    Liu Ruoqian was taken aback.

    "Did Brother Tyrant ask me to read on the couch? But I'm still wearing my shoes."

    Liu Ruoqian's mouth didn't move, but Lu Rengu heard her words.

    It was not easy for the little girl to hold back a word from her heart after holding it in for so long.

    Lu Rengu: "Take off your shoes and come on the couch."

    "Brother Tyrant and I want to go together."

    Liu Ruoqian responded obediently: "Yes."

    He twisted his body, changed from kneeling to sitting, kicked his feet against each other twice, and kicked off the green embroidered shoes.

    Two shoes fell to the ground, and one turned over. Liu Ruoqian stretched out her foot, hooked the shoe and turned over, kicked again, kicking the two shoes together.

    Then he turned around and sat on the couch.

    While the little girl was busy talking about getting rid of her shoes, Lu Rengu had already tilted his head on the couch with one hand, looking at her lazily.

    Liu Ruoqian picked up the scriptures, just thinking about them, pondered for a while, then knelt up again, straightened her small body, and began to read slowly.

    Earlier, it was she who was reading.

    Listening to the slow sound of chanting sutras that was different from ordinary people, Lu Rengu was not at all impatient.

    Because, each word spit out from the little girl's mouth, like spring water dripping from the mountains, ding ding dong dong, falling into his heart.

    It makes people feel refreshed and comfortable.

    Lu Rengu's eyes fell on the little girl's pink lips, and doubts resurfaced in his heart.

    At this moment, in his ears, there is only the little girl's chanting, and there is no other noise.

    Those subtle noises in the past drilled into his ears uncontrollably, but now he can't hear them anymore.

    Another point, he was sure that the little girl was slandering something in her heart when she peeked at him just now, but he didn't hear anything.

    Could it be that the accidental mind-reading skills just disappeared so suddenly?

    So, with the mind reading technique, the headache that had plagued him for many years disappeared without treatment?

    Ever since he had the ability to read minds, for so many years, he has seen all the darkness in the human heart and suffered from headaches. He has almost forgotten what it feels like to hear normally.

    For so many years, every night, headaches must come to my door.

    Especially on the night of the Hungry Ghost Festival every year, when he was about to get over it, he thought countless times that if he could regain peace, he wouldn't want this troublesome mind-reading technique.

    Even this mind-reading technique provides convenience for him to control people's hearts.

    But he, Lu Rengu, doesn't need this convenience. He has always believed that absolute force can crush all enemies.

    Those who are disobedient will be killed.

    In order to get rid of this mind-reading technique that has plagued him for a long time, he has sought countless medical treatments, but to no avail.

    Unexpectedly, tonight healed up without any warning, it's really miraculous.

    Thinking that he would no longer have to passively listen to the various secrets in other people's hearts, and would no longer have to suffer from headaches every night, Lu Rengu felt a sense of relief in his heart.

    The usual sullenness on his face disappeared, and there was actually a hint of a smile between his brows and eyes.

    Liu Ruoqian continued to read, but couldn't continue.

    She dared to dance and chant in front of Eunuch Fu before, but now she dare not fool the tyrant under His Majesty's nose.

    Seeing the little girl start stuttering as she read, her small body shrank and peeked at him one after another, Lu Rengu asked understandingly: "But are you tired?"

    Liu Ruoqian was silent for a while, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, my concubine can only read so much, and I haven't had time to learn the rest."

    The little girl's voice was small, weak, guilty, and her forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

    This answer was beyond Lu Rengu's expectation, but after thinking about it, it made sense. After all, growing up in the countryside, it is normal for him to have little literacy.

    Freed from mind reading skills and headaches, Lu Rengu is now in a good mood, happier than ever after a big victory.

    He waved his hand and said with a pleasant face, "It's okay..."

    In the middle of speaking, the door opened, and the eunuch Quan Fu, who had been away for a while, and Zou Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Golden Wolf Guard who was full of blood, walked in one after the other.

    The two were very anxious, and with the wind blowing under their feet, they hurriedly walked towards the dragon couch.

    But when they saw His Majesty lying crookedly and smilingly talking to Liu Meiren, who had been on the dragon couch at some time, both of them were stunned.

    Zou Qi looked at Quan Fu, and asked with his eyes: Didn't it mean that His Majesty fainted from the pain, and seeing that he couldn't make it through, did he want to rush to the temple overnight?

    Quan Fu looked back at him innocently: It was true before.

    Seeing the two courtiers who accompanied him since he was a child and were only loyal to him came in, Lu Rengu smiled: "Zou Qi, Quan Fu, what are you doing standing there, come here."

    Before being struck by lightning, no matter whether it was in the cold palace or in the imperial tomb, the two of them would stay by his side every step of the way.

    On countless cold winter days, the three of them would huddle together to keep warm.

    But later he got the mind-reading skills, and there was no peace in his ears, so he made a rule not to approach him within three feet without permission.

    Now that the mind reading ability is gone, and the headache is gone, this rule will naturally be invalidated.

    Quan Fu came to his senses first, and rushed over with a face full of surprise, and threw himself on the side of the couch with an expression of disbelief: "My lord, did you make it through tonight?"

    "Yeah." Lu Rengu nodded, his tone was gentle: "I have a headache, it's completely..."

    "Amitabha, thank you Bodhisattva. It's great that Your Majesty survived, otherwise it would be difficult to leave the palace tonight. He said that Liu Meiren's chanting is useful..."

    Before Lu Rengu finished speaking, Quan Fu's rambling high-pitched voice came into his ears.

    Lu Rengu was taken aback, his heart sank.

    He looked at Zou Qi who was coming, and stared closely at his approaching feet.

    After three feet, Zou Qi's voice sounded.

    "Your Majesty, are you okay?" He said this with his mouth open.

    The next sentence was from his heart.

    "Those assassins sneaked into the palace tonight, all of them are masters, and not all of them have been caught yet. Fortunately, His Majesty is safe..."

    For the rest, Lu Rengu didn't pay attention to what he said, and his heart fell into an ice cave.

    The relief-like sense of relief before was gone in an instant.

    Mind reading still there?

    The next moment, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and looked at the quiet, well-behaved little girl sitting on her knees.

    Confessing about her lack of literacy, Liu Ruoqian was worried at first, for fear of being punished by His Majesty the Tyrant.

    But he said "no problem".

    Hearing these two words, Liu Ruoqian never took her eyes off Lu Rengu's face.

    It turned out that brother tyrant is not only good-looking, he is also such a nice person.

    When Lu Rengu looked at her, he found that the little girl was looking at him stupidly again, with sparkling eyes.

    Quan Fu and Zou Qi followed the eyes of their Majesty, and their eyes also fell on Liu Meiren.

    "According to what Quan Fu said, His Majesty was so painful that he almost fainted, but now His Majesty is doing well. Could it be that what did Beauty Liu do to His Majesty?"

    Zou Qi looked towards a dark corner in the hall, and a black figure appeared like a ghost, made a gesture and shook his head, then disappeared again.

    "Everything is as usual, and nothing suspicious happened?"

    Zou Qi frowned, and looked at Lu Rengu again, puzzled.

    "Hey, Your Majesty has been staring at Liu Meiren for how long, and the miscellaneous family said that Liu Meiren's appearance will surely catch His Majesty's eyes..."

    One is hoarse, the other is high-pitched, two voices come and go, yelling in Lu Rengu's ears without stopping.

    Lu Rengu is quite sure that his terrible mind-reading skills are still there.

    But what was different from the past was that there were only two people's voices in my ears at this moment, and there were no other noisy sounds.

    Therefore, even if two people chatter at the same time, it doesn't sound as annoying as it used to be.

    But, why is this beauty Liu so quiet?

    Lu Ren was born smart in ancient times, after going through the previous events in his mind for a while, he guessed a possibility.

    Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and took the little girl's white and tender hand.

    He didn't hold the entire palm, but only a few delicate and slender fingertips.

    Sure enough, as he expected in his heart, the soft and waxy voice came to his ears again.

    "Why did brother tyrant grab my hand?"

    "Brother Tyrant's hands are so cold, does he want me to cover his hands?"

    With that in mind, Liu Ruoqian did just that.

    She put the scriptures on the couch, moved forward on her knees, grabbed Lu Rengu's big hand with both hands, rubbed it together, and then put it by her mouth.

    "Ha ha……"

    She hugged Lu Rengu's hand and rubbed it back and forth, breathing out.

    The girl exhaled like blue, and the exhaled breath was full of warmth, and fell on Lu Rengu's cold hands, but it was like scalding, burning his heart with anxiety.

    With his backhand, he grabbed the pair of white and tender paws that were rubbing back and forth, preventing her from rubbing and haggling intimately.

    The two people standing on the ground witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and they had different thoughts.

    "Hey, Your Majesty has grown up so much, and has never been so intimate with any girl's family. I'm afraid this Liu Meiren will be left to serve her bed tonight, but I have to ask someone to prepare hot water..”

    "Your Majesty's headache has passed, and the royal heir is expected again. This is really a great joy!"

    Quan Fu was overjoyed, gearing up, his small eyes narrowed because of joy.

    Unlike Quan Fu, Zou Qi was a little worried.

    "This beauty Liu is the daughter of Prime Minister Liu. She behaves quite strangely. I haven't found out the details yet. Could it be that His Majesty is going to pamper her tonight?"

    "However, Your Majesty is in good spirits tonight. A woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken is just waiting for her to sleep. I don't think there will be any trouble."

    "It's just that there are still a few assassins who haven't been caught yet. Changning Palace needs to strengthen the guards. Don't disturb His Majesty's good deeds. After all, this is the first time His Majesty favors a woman, so don't spoil his interest."

    Hearing that these two people had clearly arranged for him tonight, Lu Rengu glanced at them lightly.

    He didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear: very busy?

    Having been together for more than ten years, the two instantly understood the meaning of His Majesty's eyes.

    The smile on Quan Fu's face quickly subsided, a little creepy.

    "It's coming again, it's coming again, His Majesty seems to have seen through my mind again."

    Zou Qi also had a serious expression on his face, not daring to think about it anymore.

    Lu Rengu scoffed at their thoughts.Over the years, he has always looked down on the relationship between men and women.

    Fighting and killing, revenge and revenge are the homework he has to face every day when he opens his eyes.

    Love, love, to him, that is simply the most trivial and trivial matter.

    Especially after hearing too much about the thoughts of the women in the harem, he became less and less interested in women.

    Although he was quite interested in this somewhat unusual Liu Meiren, it had nothing to do with men and women, because he still had many doubts in his heart.

    Therefore, at this moment, she has to be kept and explored further.

    Lu Rengu said, "Go down."

    He was speaking to Zou Qi and Quan Fu, but he was looking at Liu Ruoqian.

    "You can go back, does that mean you've saved your head tonight?"

    "I didn't get punished for making so many mistakes just now, brother tyrant is really a good man."

    Liu Ruoqian was overjoyed, she took her hand out of Lu Rengu's hand, leaned over on the couch and kowtowed.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine will leave."

    Hearing what the little girl was saying, and seeing the not-so-standard saluting posture, the corners of Lu Rengu's mouth slightly raised, and he stretched out his hand to hold her arm to help her up: "I'm not talking about you."

    Um?Liu Ruoqian raised her head and looked at Zou Qi and Quan Fu.The two of them bowed to His Majesty, took a few steps back, turned and left.

    "Didn't you let me go? But, I can't read the remaining scriptures anymore."

    Liu Ruoqian looked at Lu Rengu with some puzzlement.

    Lu Rengu let go of the little girl's arm, and tapped lightly on the couch: "Don't kneel down, sit down and talk to me."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Ruoqian knelt for a long time, and was already tired from kneeling, so she obediently responded.

    Then according to what Lingyan taught, he bent his legs together and sat on the couch in an orderly manner, with his hands straight on his legs.

    Seeing that she was sitting too stiffly, Lu Ren said softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."

    "Thank you brother tyrant." The little girl's eyes lit up, and she blurted out with joy in her heart when she was poked.

    After I finished speaking, I became afraid again, but I didn't know how to make amends.

    The two white and tender hands on the lap clenched together, looking at Lu Rengu timidly.

    The little girl has no city, and all her thoughts are written on her face.

    Even if he can't read her heart at this moment, Lu Rengu can still guess her mind roughly, which makes him very happy.

    He sat up, leaned on the cushion crookedly, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Ruoqian's hand again: "In front of me, it doesn't matter if you have something to say, I won't blame you."

    With a face so beautiful that people couldn't look away, and a low, magnetic voice that was slightly bewitching, Liu Ruoqian nodded foolishly.

    "Brother Tyrant is so kind." Another compliment from the heart.

    "It's just what you called me just now. It's okay to call me in private. Don't do that if there are others around."

    Lu Rengu held her fingers and taught patiently, with a rare gentle tone.

    He has always been a man of distinction.

    Although Liu Meiren is the daughter of Liu Xiang, according to Zou Qi, after she returned to the mansion, she had an unpleasant quarrel with Liu Xiang and his wife, and she was forced into the palace, which is also a pity.

    That being the case, why should the little girl be implicated in the fault of that old man Liu Xiang.

    What's more, he was able to get through this headache so easily tonight, it seems to be due to her.

    Although the situation is still unclear, but she helped him a lot, it can be regarded as saving half of his life, and it is only right to be kind to her.

    Lu Rengu's hand was held gently, and feeling his kindness, Liu Ruoqian couldn't help suspecting that the "temperary, bloodthirsty and brutal tyrant" Lingyan and she said was not His Majesty.

    Lingyan must have misunderstood His Majesty.

    "Your Majesty, I remember. I will always call you Your Majesty regardless of whether there are people or not." Liu Ruoqian said solemnly.

    Although she has already pronounced "Brother Tyrant" fluently, she should change it in the future, lest she get used to it and say it fluently next time.

    Lu Rengu smiled slightly: "Alright."

    The little girl called him "tyrant", but he didn't mind.

    Although no one dared to say these two words in front of him, he had heard them a lot and had long been used to them.

    What's more, based on what he has done, he can be regarded as a tyrant, and he deserves his name?

    The appearance of the little girl calling him "brother tyrant" innocently is quite lovely.

    Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is a big mistake of disrespect.

    But to him, even minor mistakes are not considered as big as sesame seeds.

    Those traitors, hypocrites, and cunning people respected him on the surface, but in their hearts they insulted him with the dirtiest, sharpest, and most unsavory filth.

    In this regard, he can be said to be well-informed, and he has been able to achieve the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his color.

    Therefore, the little girl has no malice, and the sweet "Brother Tyrant" is like the sound of nature, very pleasant to the ear.

    Don't let the little girl shout in front of other people, because there are many rules in this palace, if someone catches her in the wrong place, at least she will be hit by a board, and at worst she will lose her life, it is not worth it.

    Liu Ruoqian looked at His Majesty holding her big hand with sharp knuckles, her cheeks flushed.

    "Bao, why does Brother Your Majesty hold my hand all the time? Is it because Brother Your Majesty is my husband?"

    "It's said in the scriptures that husband and wife will hold hands and kiss, and kissing will give birth to a baby..."

    Listening to the sweet girlish voice of the little girl, Lu Rengu felt at ease.

    I was very interested in hearing it, but didn't expect to hear the ignorant tiger and wolf words.

    Afraid that the little girl might have some misunderstanding again, Lu Rengu coughed lightly, and let go of her tender little hand.

    Thinking of the series of strange things tonight, Lu Rengu spoke gently, persuasively, intending to ask out the doubts in his heart.

    "Liu Meiren, do you still remember how you were lost when you were young, and how did you get to Xingshan Village? You have been in Xingshan Village for so many years, have you encountered any strange people and strange things?"

    After hearing these questions from Lu Rengu, Liu Ruoqian immediately became vigilant.

    Although no one and no demons have taught her, but after being a human for so many years, she has long understood the attitude of the human race towards the demon race.

    Fear, hatred, can't wait to stay far away.

    Although most people have never seen the Yaozu in their entire lives, and they don't understand the Yaozu at all, it doesn't prevent them from bringing the Yaozu out to scare their children.

    When she was a child, her mother used to scare her: "Qianqian is good, let's not run outside after dark, so as not to be caught and eaten by the big monster coming down from the mountain."

    She wants to tell her mother that not all monsters are cannibals, and little ginseng spirits like her don't cannibalize.

    But she didn't dare.

    Because my mother also said that if you catch a monster, it will be set on fire and burned to death.

    She didn't want to be burned to death, so for so many years, she was an honest person and kept her secrets tightly.

    But now, Brother His Majesty asks so many questions, what do you want to know?What is the appropriate answer for her?

    Liu Ruoqian sat awkwardly, her little head that was not working well was thinking desperately, deliberating about the safest answer.

    Seeing that the little girl's little face was full of anxiety and entanglement, it seemed that there was something embarrassing, Lu Rengu didn't rush, and waited patiently.

    After a while, Liu Ruoqian finally said, "Your Majesty, the concubine was too young when she was lost, and can't remember many things."

    Although he was curious about what the little girl was thinking at the moment, Lu Rengu still restrained the hand he wanted to extend.

    The little girl's tiger and wolf words just now had a bit of stamina, which made his eyes uncontrollable, always falling on her pink and tender lips.

    Kiss can give birth to a doll...

    So ignorant and ignorant, presumably no one taught her about the relationship between men and women before entering the palace.

    The little girl's big eyes flickered, revealing the uneasiness in her heart.

    Although she didn't know why she was nervous, Lu Rengu couldn't bear to look at those watery deer eyes, and said kindly, "It's okay, just tell me what you remember."

    Liu Ruoqian nodded: "I heard from my parents that they picked me up on the side of the road. When I picked it up, I almost froze to death. I was only breathing. I spent all the money in the family and hired a doctor to buy medicine.That saved me."

    It's just that the little girl with only one breath left has long since disappeared, and she is the one who survived.

    "My mother said, I was only a little older at that time." Liu Ruoqian stretched out her two small hands, and showed Lu Rengu a length.

    Seeing the innocent appearance of the little girl, Lu Rengu nodded and asked again: "Then you have grown up so big, have you encountered any strange things?"

    For so many years, his mind-reading skills have been invincible.

    All the people he has met, as long as they are within three feet, without exception, he can hear what they are thinking.

    Only this beauty Liu is different from ordinary people, and the mind reading technique will only work for her if he touches her.

    Also, his headache was miraculously relieved, and the noise in his ears also miraculously disappeared, which seemed to be caused by her appearance.

    If it is said that there is nothing weird about this little girl, he will not believe it.

    So he wanted to get to the bottom of it and ask clearly.

    But as soon as he finished speaking, the little girl hurriedly waved her hands: "No, I haven't met before."

    She can't tell anyone that eating poisonous mushrooms won't kill her, and that spitting can cure diseases, not anyone else.

    In the book Qiaolan read to her at that time, there was a poor scholar who had no family and could not even marry a wife. He rescued a dying little fox who was shot by an arrow on the mountain.

    After the little fox recovers from her wounds, in order to repay her kindness, she turns into a human being and goes to be a poor scholar's daughter-in-law.

    After the little vixen got pregnant, she didn't want to keep lying to the scholar, so she confessed her true identity to him.

    After hearing this, the scholar hugged her and said with a laugh, he didn't care if she was a vixen or something, he only knew that she was his wife and the mother of his child.

    So, the little fox spirit believed it, and happily turned into a fox to show him.

    But the scholar who was still deeply in love at the last moment changed his expression drastically. He pointed at her and shouted "monster" while running out of the house in a hurry.

    Later, the whole village was mobilized, and Taoist priests were invited to surround the little vixen.

    The little vixen was capable of running away, but she was heartbroken and didn't want to resist at all.

    Her red eyes were bleeding, she stared at the scholar and said, "You saved my life, if you want it now, you can pay it back", then she bumped her head into the strange torch with blue light in the hands of the demon hunter,Instantly burned to ashes.

    When Qiaolan finished reading, Qiaolan was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed.

    But after she heard it, besides being angry at the heartless man's heart and dog's lungs, and regretting the little vixen's sincerity, she was more afraid.

    She was trembling with her arms folded, and she became more and more sure that she must not let anyone know that she is a ginseng essence, even her husband.

    Ling Yan told her that His Majesty is extremely intelligent, and he is a king who can easily read people's hearts.

    It is said that many times, the ministers only said the first half of a sentence, and His Majesty guessed the second half.

    Those little secrets of hers had to be kept well. If he knew a little bit, he might be able to guess that she was not human.

    The little girl is too shallow, with a guilty look, dodging eyes, waving her little hands, and "I'm lying" written all over her body.

    People have secrets, this is something Lu Rengu has long recognized.

    Facing the little girl's blatant fooling him, he was not displeased, but found it interesting.

    He grows up to look like an adult, but he looks like an innocent child, so he won't lie.

    Although he was not unhappy, he just asked for a long time, but he didn't find anything. Lu Rengu didn't want to waste any more time.

    Then he raised his hand and held the fingertips of the little girl's white and tender hand again.

    Sure enough, it was much easier this way.

    "Don't say it, absolutely don't say it, you can't tell it to anyone, and you can't say that Brother Your Majesty is my husband..." The little girl was rambling in her heart.

    But he couldn't say anything, Lu Rengu didn't hear anything after listening for a long time.

    Because the little girl muttered halfway, staring at the hands that the two held together, and started to think wildly again.

    "Why did Brother Your Majesty grab my hand again? Are you going to kiss me this time?"

    The little girl's face was flushed again, her big eyes were shining brightly, her pink lips were pursed up and down, she seemed a little nervous?

    Lu Rengu: "..."

    The little girl bit her lips subconsciously, as if she wanted to hide her lips.

    "Although your majesty's brother is very good-looking, but, but, Qianqian is still young and doesn't want to have a baby..."

    Lu Rengu's eyebrows twitched, and without hesitation for a moment, he let go of her little paw again.

    As if scalded, he rubbed his fingers.

    Holding hands well, and being thrown away suddenly, Liu Ruoqian was confused.

    Holding hands for a while, letting go for a while, holding hands again for a while, and letting go when it's over...

    His Majesty's elder brother came out from left to right, no wonder Ling Yan said that His Majesty was "moody", and it seemed to be true.

    Not knowing what the man in front of him was going to do, Liu Ruoqian could only sit obediently.

    After a moment of silence, Lu Rengu chased people away, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Liu Meiren, it's late at night, you go back first."

    By accident, what the little girl thought in her heart always missed what he wanted to know.

    Asked her but refused to tell the truth, there is no need to waste here.

    According to what she said, she is now "his beauty Liu", living in the palace, and the days to come are long, so there is no rush for this moment.

    When Zou Qi came, he was covered in blood, and he said that there were a few assassins who hadn't been caught yet, and they hadn't been reported for so long, so there must have been no progress. He felt relaxed now, and his hands were itchy, so he just went to have a look.

    As soon as she was told to go back, Liu Ruoqian was immediately overjoyed, and her eyes were squinted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    As he said that, he bent over and was about to kowtow on the couch, but Lu Rengu reached out to catch his forehead: "Excuse me."

    "Hey!" Liu Ruoqian happily responded, and slipped off to put on her shoes.

    He bowed his knees to the man who also got up and followed him to the ground: "The concubine will leave."

    "Well, let's go." Lu Rengu stretched out his hand to untie the belt of the black inner coat, took it off, and threw it on the couch.

    Then he picked up the new underwear on the clothes rack at the side, just stretched it into his arm, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Meiren staring at him stupidly, her beautiful almond eyes were shining like stars.

    You can guess what the little girl is thinking, it must be something like "Your Majesty's brother is so pretty".

    The little girl is so greedy for his beauty?Lu Rengu felt a little helpless and a little funny.

    He just opened his skirt like that, and asked her seriously: "Does Liu Meiren want to help me change my clothes?"

    Liu Ruoqian came back to her senses, her little face flushed immediately, she turned her head and ran out, forgetting even the etiquette.

    There was a chuckle behind her, and she ran even faster, and ran out the door in one go.

    Outside the door, stood anxious Lingyan and Quanfu who was full of smiles.

    Seeing the door being pushed open suddenly, Liu Ruoqian jumped out, both of them were startled.

    Ling Yan stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ruoqian's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you alright?"

    Quan Fu also took a step forward and looked at Liu Ruoqian carefully.

    The clothes are neat, the hair is in a neat bun, there was no strange movement inside just now, and the time is too short...

    Quan Fu was puzzled: "Liu Meiren, why did you come out, where is Your Majesty?"

    Earlier, when His Majesty touched Liu Meiren's little hand, with that affectionate posture, it seemed that he was going to stay for her to serve her bed, so why did she come out so quickly.

    Seeing Quan Fu's question, Liu Ruoqian hurriedly replied: "Eunuch Fu, Your Majesty is inside. Your Majesty said that it will get late and let me go back first."

    Not sure what's going on with His Majesty, Quan Fu didn't want to ask too many questions, so he quickly bowed respectfully and saluted: "There is beauty Lao Liu tonight, please."

    If it is said that Quan Fu was respectful to Liu Ruoqian before, but that was just a false face he had cultivated over the years, except for His Majesty and Lord Zou, he was like this to everyone.

    But now, his respect is out of sincerity. After all, it was Liu Meiren who chanted the scriptures and helped His Majesty get through the night easily. He is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

    "Eunuch Fu, you don't have to be polite." Liu Ruoqian also said politely, then turned and left with the spirit smoke.

    When the two of them walked a certain distance, Lu Rengu, who was dressed in a colorful brocade robe, came out the door.

    Looking at the petite figure from the back, he whispered: "There is no peace tonight, escort her back."

    "Yes." Two figures flashed out of the darkness, chasing the direction of Zuihua Palace.

    Ling Yan held the lantern in one hand and supported Liu Ruoqian's arm in the other, and the two hurried back to the Palace of Zuihua.

    Before approaching the gate of Zuihua Palace, the gate opened with a bang.

    Ganoderma lucidum poked its head out to look, and when it saw Liu Ruoqian, who had a full beard and tail, she rushed forward and hugged her, shouted "girl", and was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

    "Silly Ganoderma lucidum, I'm fine." Liu Ruoqian patted Lingzhi's shoulder with a relaxed tone: "Let's go back and talk about it."

    Back in the house, Lingzhi took Liu Ruoqian to check up, down, left, and right, and seeing that she was fine everywhere, she slumped on the ground, muttering like the rest of her life after a catastrophe: "The girl is really fine, really fine..."

    Liu Ruoqian was amused by her, and even said a few silly words.

    Lingzhi regained his strength, pulled Liu Ruoqian to ask questions, before Liu Ruoqian could answer, Lingyan stopped him: "Ganoderma lucidum, we slaves should not inquire about matters related to His Majesty."

    Liu Ruoqian thought about what happened in Changning Palace, and it seemed that it was not suitable for chatting about family affairs, so she also said: "Lingyan is right."

    Ganoderma lucidum realized the mistake and corrected it: "This servant understands."

    Ling Yan waited for Liu Ruoqian to finish drinking the jasmine tea in her hand before asking about the situation of chanting.

    Liu Ruoqian hurriedly pulled Ling Yan and said, "Ling Yan, fortunately you have the foresight to let me learn the scriptures in advance, otherwise I'm afraid I will be in big trouble, and I have to continue tomorrow..."

    The three masters and servants gathered around the couch, chattering away.

    At the same time, on the roof of a palace in the imperial palace, Lu Rengu stood with his hands behind his back.

    It's just that the relaxed look on his face when he was in Changning Palace before disappeared, and his brows were slightly frowned.

    Zou Qi carried a big knife, ran towards the eaves, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm sure that the man is hiding here, just searched a few times..."

    Lu Rengu frowned and raised his hand.

    Seeing this all-too-familiar gesture and expression, Zou Qi hurriedly fell silent, and quietly retreated three feet away.

    And made a gesture to the air, and the several black shadows scattered all around stopped, stopped all movements, and stood by for orders.

    Lu Rengu closed his eyes, feeling the turbulent commotion.

    After a while, he raised his hand and pointed to a wing room in the courtyard under his feet.

    Zou Qi nodded, jumped into the courtyard, made a counterattack, and led several Golden Wolf Guards towards the wing.

    After a while, there was the sound of wooden boards being smashed in the wing room, followed by the sound of swords colliding and fierce fighting.

    In the night, on the ridge of the roof, Lu Rengu looked at the starry sky and sighed softly.

    "It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality, Miss Liu, what should I do?"

    Looking at the nearly full moon in the sky, Lu Rengu frowned slightly again.

    Although the Hungry Ghost Festival has not yet arrived, the headache tonight is even worse than the ghost festivals of previous years.

    Over the years, his headaches have never stopped, night after night, and they are getting bigger and bigger every year.
