Empress

Chapter 35

Rong Cheng guessed right.

When he went back last night, he was wondering why there were no guards in the Zangshu Pavilion.There is only one possibility.

The Eighteenth Prince would come to Zangshu Pavilion every day.

Waiting for Guan Hengyu to walk into the Library Pavilion, Rong Cheng looked around and after confirming that there was no one there, he also walked in.

Guan Hengyu's voice was heard from a distance, "You guys go down first." Then there was a cough and footsteps, Rong Cheng hid in the dark, and waited for the palace people to leave before showing up.

Seeing Rongcheng appearing on the bookcase, Guan Hengyu, who was about to pick up the scroll, froze for a moment, "It's you."

Rong Cheng looked around, "I want to find a book." Guan Hengyu asked curiously, "What book?" "Shui Jing Zhu."

Guan Hengyu pondered for a while, then found the book Rong Cheng wanted from the books placed in front of him.

Rong Cheng took over, "Thank you, my lord." Guan Hengyu was startled, "Did you guess it?"

Rong Cheng nodded, found a corner to sit down, and read the book unhurriedly.

Guan Hengyu looked at it carefully for a moment, and then sat down opposite.The two of them didn't speak again, they each looked at each other, but they got along harmoniously.Rong Cheng was looking seriously, when he heard the sound of coughing in front of him, Guan Hengyu covered his mouth and coughed, his already bloodless face was as pale as death.

"I'm sorry to disturb your reading." Jian Rongcheng looked up at himself,

Rong Cheng shook his head and continued to read.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, Rong Cheng hastily closed the book in his hand and hid himself.

In the gap between the two books, a little eunuch appeared, and came to Guan Hengyu with a porcelain bowl, "My lord, your medicine is here."

Guan Hengyu took it and ordered: "Bring some more pastries and water over here."

The palace people responded and left in a hurry.

After a cup of tea, the little eunuch turned back, put the cakes and water on the table, and exited the library.

Rong Cheng slowly came out from behind the bookcase and saw Guan Hengyu smiling at him gently, "The hibiscus cake made by Yushanfang is very delicious, do you want to try it?"

Rong Cheng thought for a while, reached out and took a piece of pastry from the plate, and started to eat it.

He ate in a hurry, the pastry was dry, he accidentally choked his throat, coughing until the corners of his eyes and cheeks were red.

Guan Hengyu hurriedly brought water to him, "Eat slowly, there are still a lot." Rong Cheng took a big sip of water, stuffed the pastry into his mouth, and ate it whole.

Seeing this scene, Guan Hengyu hesitated and said, "Have you been hungry for a long time?"

Rong Cheng lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were long and black, and said in a low voice, "I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time."

Guan Hengyu was speechless: "You followed the emperor, and you didn't even eat these things?"

Rong Cheng smiled, "I'm not a concubine, how can I eat such good food."

This smile fell into Guan Hengyu's eyes, but there was only bitterness. He put down the scroll and pushed all the pastries to Rongcheng in front of him.

Rong Cheng ate another piece, hesitantly said: "Can I pack it and take it home?"

Guan Hengyu nodded, seeing Rong Cheng carefully holding the pastry in his clothes, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Although he had heard about what happened to Long Ji, he didn't expect to be reduced to this point.

After leaving Cangshu Pavilion, Rong Cheng returned to Chenghuan Palace, put the cakes on the table,

Reading a book is false, but taking the opportunity to get close to Guan Hengyu is true.

Rong Cheng sat on the stool, picked up the pastry and took a bite, the food the master ate tasted good.

For several days, Rong Cheng went to Zangshu Pavilion.

He was familiar with history books, which allowed the Eighteenth Prince, who had been alone for a long time, to find someone who could speak, and the relationship between the two was quite close.

On this day, Guan Hongfeng came to Chenghuan Palace, but before he entered the gate, the guard at the gate said: "Your Majesty, the dragon trick has gone out."

Guan Hongfeng frowned, "Where did he go?"

The guard said, "It seems to be heading towards the imperial garden."

Guan Hongfeng turned around and went to the imperial garden, the surroundings were quiet, only the figures of the palace people passing by, but Rong Cheng was not seen.

Eunuch Yang sent people to look for it for a while, but they couldn't find Rongcheng.Guan Hongfeng's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Send someone to the Xuanwu Gate to see if he wants to sneak out of the palace again."

The emperor walked through the imperial garden alone, and when he passed the library, he vaguely heard voices talking inside.

Guan Hongfeng frowned slightly, stopped, and walked into the library.Stepping up the stairs, the conversation stopped abruptly. Guan Hongfeng came to the second floor, only to see his sickly eighteenth brother sitting on the ground with a book in his hand.

"See Brother Huang." Guan Hengyu knelt down to salute, his long-sick body seemed to fall down at the blow.

"Get up."

Long time no see, his eighteenth brother looks more like a sick man.Guan Hengyu supported the cabinet and stood up, looking very weak.Guan Hongfeng looked around, "Who were you talking to just now?" Guan Hengyu said without changing his face: "There is only one person here." Guan Hongfeng said suspiciously: "I clearly heard another person's voice.

Guan Hengyu spoke slowly, "Brother Huang probably heard the words of the eunuch close to me, and just now my brother asked him to go back to get some food, and he left not long ago."

Guan Hongfeng was suspicious, if the little eunuch had just left, why didn't he meet him when he came up.

Seeing that he had doubts, Guan Hengyu said: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, feel free to send someone to search." "That's all."

Guan Hongfeng wouldn't spend a lot of time searching the palace for such a trivial matter.He asked, "How have you been recently?"

Guan Hengyu smiled, "Brother Xie Huang is concerned, and my brother is fine. Guan Hongfeng hummed lightly, "You are not in good health, so don't walk around, lest you catch the cold again. "

"Yes."

Guan Hongfeng had never been close to this half-brother, so he had nothing to say, so he left Zangshu Pavilion after exchanging a few pleasantries.

Not long after he left, Rong Cheng came out from the dark.Guan Hengyu said: "I'm afraid the emperor is going to be suspicious, you'd better go back quickly."

Rong Cheng stared at the summary of Siku in his hand, "It's only halfway through." Guan Hengyu paused, unable to bear to see Rong Cheng's disappointed gaze, he grasped the book in his hand, and said in a low voice: "I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Rong Cheng raised his eyes and smiled, "Really?"

His indifferent eyebrows and eyes were like flowers blooming with morning dew, and they became lively, which made Guan Hengyu dazed for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he had already nodded.

Rong Cheng put the book in Guan Hengyu's hand, "Then I'm leaving."

His fingertips were hot and touched the cold back of the opposite person. Guan Hengyu lowered his head and raised his hand to touch his heart through the fabric, beating a little fast.

Outside the Zangshu Pavilion, Eunuch Yang came towards him, "Your Majesty, I have searched for it, but I didn't see the Dragon Actor."

Guan Hongfeng frowned more and more, "Could it be that the queen summoned him to Jingren Palace again?"

Eunuch Yang tentatively asked: "Should I send someone to ask?" His voice faded, his face changed slightly, and his eyes fell behind Guan Hongfeng, "Your Majesty, the dragon trick is there."

Guan Hongfeng looked back and saw Rong Cheng's figure coming out of the small door next to the Library Pavilion.

Guan Hongfeng said displeased: "Where have you been?"

Rong Cheng came in front of him with indifferent eyes, "The pool behind Zangshu Pavilion."

Guan Hongfeng glanced at the direction of the small door, "What are you doing there?" Rong Cheng said unhurriedly, "See if there are any fish to feed." Live too long?"◎

The voice heard in Zangshu Pavilion flashed across his mind for a moment, but he never mentioned Guan Hengyu in front of Rong Cheng, and the two probably didn't know each other.

Guan Hongfeng grabbed Rong Cheng's hand and dragged it back, gritted his teeth and said: "Next time, run around again and see how I deal with you."

Rong Cheng stumbled and was dragged away, looked back at Zangshu Pavilion, and revealed a faint smile.

Behind the window on the second floor, Guan Hengyu was looking at the direction they were leaving with a complicated expression on his face.

Back at Chenghuan Palace, Rong Cheng was inevitably tortured.

Guan Hongfeng lay on Rong Cheng's body and let out a long breath. Seeing Guan Hengyu again today reminded him that he hadn't seen this eighteenth brother for a long time.

So at noon the next day, Guan Hongfeng asked Yang Gonggong Xuan Guan Hengyu to accompany him for dinner.

"The Eighteenth Prince has arrived."

Guan Hengyu was still dressed in white, walked in with the support of the little eunuch, knelt down and saluted, "See Brother Huang."

Guan Hongfeng interrupted the words, "Okay, you're not feeling well, get up quickly."

The little eunuch supported Guan Hengyu to stand up, these few movements made him out of breath.

"You and I are brothers, so you don't need to stick to those customary etiquette." "Thank you, Brother Huang."

After getting the emperor's permission, Guan Hengyu sat down to eat.

"I know you can't eat greasy food, so I ordered the kitchen to make some light dishes for you to try, how about you try it."

"Thank you for thinking about it, Brother Huang." Guan Hengyu smiled, "Brother Huang is the Son of Heaven, so the preparation is the best."

This pleased Guan Hongfeng, he snorted, "Okay, let's eat.

The palace servants stepped forward to serve the dishes, and Guan Hengyu did not move until Guan Hongfeng picked up the chopsticks.

He and King Shaonan are the only princes in this palace who have not robbed the throne. Moreover, Guan Hengyu has always been in poor health.

At this moment, Eunuch Yang came in and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon trick is here."

Guan Hengyu paused, turned his head to look, and met Rong who walked in.

Rong Cheng was very calm, as if the two met for the first time, with strange and indifferent expressions.

Guan Hongfeng said to the people in front of him: "This is a dragon trick, I'm afraid it's the first time you've seen it."

Guan Hengyu lowered his eyelids to hide the emotion in his eyes, and nodded.Guan Hongfeng looked at Rong Cheng, raised his eyebrows, "Haven't you seen the Eighteenth Prince?"

Rong Cheng bowed his eyebrows and looked down, and made an empty salute, "See Eighteen Princes." Guan Hengyu paused for a moment before saying, "Dragon tricks don't need extra courtesy."

Guan Hongfeng stretched out his hand and pulled Long Ji who had just stood up to sit on his lap, and brought the food he didn't eat to Rong Cheng's mouth, "Open your mouth."

Rongcheng pursed his lips, turned his head away, and Guan Hongfeng turned his head forcefully, and stuffed the vegetables into his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Guan Hengyu clenched his chopsticks tightly.

It wasn't until Rong Cheng chewed and swallowed the food that Guan Hongfeng let him go, "Is it delicious?"

Rong Cheng was not stupid enough to touch Guan Hongfeng's brow at this moment, and nodded without conscience.

Guan Hongfeng smiled playfully and lowered his voice: "Tell me, is this dish delicious, or my food?"

Rong Cheng suddenly turned his head and stared at Guan Hongfeng, his face was full of shame, the emperor felt extremely happy seeing this appearance.

He pushed Rong Cheng off his lap and said with a sneer: "Okay, go and serve the prince."
