Chapter 26: Drunk Dreams
However, the mountains are high and the water is far away, which is nothing more than longing for lovesickness.
After farewell, I miss you like the moon, listen to the rain and feel sad about my sleep.
When you are drunk in the world of mortals, you wish to win someone's heart.
Looking out of the window, the white hairband was blowing, but he didn't care about it.
The pen is dyed with ink, and a lifelike human figure is sketched.
Her figure is everywhere that comes to mind, as if she can feel her presence even when she is not there.
When he picked up his pen, he left a line of poetry: "The fleeting time is devoted to pen and ink, and late at night, I suddenly dream of a young man with dark eyebrows."
"Your Majesty, all the envoys are here to ask for an audience."
The ink is not dry yet, the poem has not been finished yet.
Murong Haochen put down his pen and hurried over.
Seeing this uninvited guest, he had no time to come here at this moment: "Why do you have time to see me tonight?"
"I heard that Lan'er suffered from the cold and came here to visit her."
Before entering the palace, Murong Haochen specifically told himself not to visit Lan'er. His father did not object and acquiesced to the matter.
However, Lan'er was his only sister. Before her death, her mother specifically told her to take good care of her sister.
Now that he is taking care of her, she should feel relieved. Today I learned that Lan'er has suffered from cold. Her body is already weak at this time. In the past, she was taken care of by herself, but it has become a habit.
"It just so happens that I have to go too, let's come together."
Seeing his anxious look, how could Murong Haochen be cruel again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
This word of "emperor" carries so much human affection.
Ye Xunyu has always been cautious in his words and deeds, but this noise caused a lot of alienation between the two of them.
As usual, he put his hand on Ye Xunyu's shoulder, not to let him have any worries: "You and I have always treated each other as brothers, so there is no need to say polite words today to avoid getting rusty."
After the death of the late emperor, the palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to walk around at will during these nights.
The deserted corridor looked particularly dark.
"By the way, what kind of concubine position do you think is suitable for Lan'er?" He thought for a long time along the way, wondering what kind of concubine position would be suitable for her to survive in the palace.
"This..." He didn't dare to answer randomly, and said perfunctorily: "It's better for the emperor to make the decision himself."
"What do you think of Queen?" It was half a joke, half serious.
He has always hoped that only Ye Yilan can enjoy the beautiful country with him.
He is the emperor and she is the empress.
This is his promise.
"The Emperor spoke highly of Lan'er too much. Lan'er is at the forefront of the storm, and I'm afraid the eldest grandson's family will not agree."
The Ye family has always been honest, how can they care about the position of queen.
When he ascended the throne, there was no doubt that his eldest grandson Wan Ji would be the queen. The foundation was unstable, so he naturally had to rely on the eldest grandson's family for support. But in his heart, he always felt unwilling to accept it: "I am already the emperor above ten thousand people, why don't I even have the right to be a queen?"
"
"Your Majesty, calm down. If Your Majesty insists on having your own way, I'm afraid it will harm Lan'er."
The two of them grew up together, how could Ye Xunyu not know what he was thinking. Sometimes he acted decisively and cautiously.
As soon as he saw Lan'er, he became confused and acted impulsively.
"How could I harm Lan'er?"
Stopping outside Qinlan Palace, he warned him: "Remember, if she wakes up, don't tell her that I am here too."
"Xun Yu understands."
This Qinlan Palace is closest to his Chenlan Palace, and he personally controls the furnishings inside.
Her favorite orchids are planted in the courtyard, and there is also rockery spring water that she loves.
Through the layers of purple gauze curtains in the house, Ye Yilan's voice could be heard.
As soon as I smelled the medicine, I got a headache: "Put the medicine down and let's go."
"How can you not drink, young lady? If the emperor finds out about this, he will definitely blame the slaves."
The only one who could make Ye Yilan obey was Murong Haochen.
"As soon as I woke up, I had a childish temper."
For a moment, Ye Yilan thought it was him coming.
As soon as I turned around, all my thoughts about what had happened in the past few days came flooding back to me.
He specifically told Zi Ling: "You cannot drink medicine without candied fruit. Go and prepare it quickly."
"I'm a slave, let's go now." As soon as he came out of the gauze curtain, he was about to greet the emperor and signaled her not to make any sound.
Murong Haochen smiled warmly when he heard their conversation outside.
His hand touched the temperature of the medicine cup, and he looked at her with doting eyes: "Drink this medicine later."
"Brother." He called with a choked voice.
The moment he saw Lan'er, he couldn't bear it. Just like he did when he was a child, he hugged her into his arms, patted her back and comforted her: "Why, you cry as soon as you wake up. But who bullied you?"
"Brother, do you know that the emperor asked the late emperor for an imperial edict to make me his concubine?" No one in the palace knew about it, and the pain in her heart had been hidden until now.
"Lan'er, since the imperial edict has been issued, please accept it happily!"
Everything is the fate of fate. You must accept this arrangement. No one can change anything.
"Brother, you always love me the most. You also know that I..."
"Shut up -" she glanced at him outside the gauze curtain and immediately stopped Lan'er: "Brother, it's impossible to ask the emperor for this matter. Do you want to resist the decree? Do you know the consequences of resisting the decree?"
"Lan'er knew the consequences, so she didn't resist. But I really don't want to be around him. I'm afraid of him."
"If you understand him, you won't be afraid."
Ye Xunyu's voice was very low when she said this, but she heard it.
Do you understand him?
If he is not someone he can rely on, how can he understand him?
His feeling makes people feel safe and scary at the same time.
Especially when his eyes are domineering, they can bite you.
Murong Haochen heard the conversation inside clearly.
Lan'er, you're afraid of everyone, but you can't be afraid of me either.
I am the one who gives you a sense of security. Only I can keep you safe.
Even if everyone is afraid, you can't.
"Okay, if you keep crying, it will be bad for your health."
Zi Ling silently put down the candied fruit, and Ye Xunyu brought the medicine in front of her and fed it to her personally: "If you want to go out to relax, let Zi Ling accompany you for a walk in the harem. Don't keep boring yourself."
"Zi Ling is not a colorful phoenix."
"I lost my temper again. If it were the emperor who came here tonight, he wouldn't love you as much as my brother does."
The moment she saw Ye Xunyu, she felt at ease.
It feels like I have been separated from him for a long time. Even though it was just a short time tonight, Ye Yilan is already satisfied.
When facing Murong Haochen, she could only avoid him from a distance.
He had been waiting outside, not daring to let himself rest for a moment. When he saw Ye Xunyu coming out, he asked softly: "Are you asleep?"
Nodding: "Did the emperor hear it outside?"
"If you hadn't come to visit her tonight, you probably wouldn't have known that she was actually afraid of me."
I have done so much, all for her.
But what came back was: I'm afraid of him.
What he wants is not this sentence, what he wants is that she loves him, and that's enough.
"The emperor gave her too many critical blows, and she couldn't bear it for a while. Give her more time!"
No matter how well Murong Haochen understood her, he didn't know her as well as his own brother.
Playfully punching him in the chest: "That makes sense."
"If Your Majesty treats me as your elder brother, I still have to give you some advice."
Lan'er's character is really not suitable for this harem.
But he is already the emperor, and no one will change everything. "Don't let Lan'er get involved in the palace fights between the concubines in the harem."
Murong Haochen did not give a reply, and even he himself was not sure whether he could do it.
In this huge imperial court, unlike the outside, your whereabouts can be kept completely hidden from anyone.
Before leaving, he told her: "Zi Ling, if she can bear the pain, she will definitely come to the mourning hall tomorrow."
"My slave will definitely tell you."
Ye Xunyu felt that the matter was not inappropriate yet, so he tried to persuade him: "The Emperor must be wrong! After all, Lan'er has not yet become the Emperor's concubine."
