Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Maybe after the Mid-Autumn Festival, maybe after her mother's birthday, she would have to go back to the capital, the palace, and under the square sky, to finish singing the show on the stage he set up.

Who made her do better than her elder brother, and also a princess who would never pose a threat to Emperor Yonghe's throne.

Once she thought about these things clearly, her teeth felt cold.

She hated that palace city to death, where her mother's vitality and love were wasted away, and her brother was forced into a look that she didn't even like, and now she wanted to sacrifice her freedom and her life.

But how can she struggle, even if she knows that she will not end well, she can't say no to fate.

Just because she is a princess, just because...

and many more.

Wei Huai'en sat up suddenly, as if the cloud that had been holding him down and out of breath was instantly blown away by the strong wind.

She grabbed Xiao Qi's lower eye sockets and mandibles and lifted his face forcefully, her pair of burning almond eyes were very close to him, smelling her breath.

She spoke slowly, and said the words that kept Xiao Qi on the spot like a sympathizer whispering:
"You can't live without power, but if I say, I want to go back to the capital, take back what belongs to me, and trample them all under my feet, becoming the first female emperor in Daliang..."

She retreated slightly to give him time to react, and also stared at his expression:

"Xiao Qi, how are you doing?"

This posture is extremely threatening, even though Xiao Qi knows that Wei Huai'en has no martial arts and is not born with supernatural power, but at this moment he just feels that as long as she wants, she can crush his head.

"Slave... I am willing to use my flesh and blood to pave the way for my master, and I will never regret it."

He looked up at her without fear, as if he could give up his life for her at any time if she wanted to.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wei Huai'en let go of the strength in his hand, and patted his face with red marks from her fingertips:

"Good slave."

"This matter, only you know and I know, remember it."

She approached again, Xiao Qi thought she was referring to the treasonous words, and was about to swear, his lips softened suddenly, making him as if in a dream, he was stunned and didn't know how to react.

Wei Huai'en didn't stop, and after a kiss like a dragonfly, he sat up straight again and looked down at him:
"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I...slave, I will remember."

The fragrance on his lips hadn't dissipated yet, Xiao Qi didn't even say how to speak, his whole body was as red as if he had been scalded by boiling water from his cheeks to the tips of his ears, and he didn't even have the guts to look at Wei Huai'en again, so he hurriedly responded.

"good very good."

Wei Huaien bent his eyes and held back his laughter.It's really interesting to tease him. She has seen him look indifferent in front of other palace people more than once, and he is not as lively as he is now.

She suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with dipping into the muddy waters of the capital. She also had Xiao Qi, who was more like an ally than a master and servant. He could understand her unwillingness and ambition better than anyone else. Water mirrors can't do it.

Because he is the deputy commander she trained by herself.

The same unscrupulous careerist can recognize each other best, and she kind of likes him.

"Why don't you look up and dare not look at me?"

Wei Huaien stood on the ground and kicked the corner of his robe with his toe.

"Master... the ground is cold."

Xiao Qi swallowed back the words that he wanted to hug her, and he didn't know what he was thinking, now he just wanted to run out of this room quickly, before he turned into a puddle of mud.

He was about to melt into that kiss, and his lips became numb after a while. His eyes only dared to climb up to her waist, but he didn't dare to go any further. face away.

It's too late to think why Wei Huaien did this.

"Then why don't you take me back?"

Wei Huai'en squatted down, held his chin and kissed his side face again, Xiao Qi was completely red like a boiled crab, and kept shrinking to the side.

"No, no, I..."

The incoherent Xiao Qi bumped into the chair all of a sudden, with a "boom", Wei Huai'en felt pain when he heard it.

Under multiple embarrassments, Xiao Qi didn't care about being rude, and ran out like a mouse after seeing a cat. He almost tripped over the low threshold, staggered a few steps on the ground, and even his hat ran crookedly.

Wei Huai'en laughed and sat on the ground leaning back and forth. Xiao Qi was so much fun, every reaction of his was within Wei Huai'en's expectation, allowing her to completely control the rhythm, give as much as she wants, and take back as much as she wants.

It was really the most fun game in the world, and she even felt it was a pity to scare people away.

With fingertips on his lips, across the courtyard wall, Xiao Qi and Wei Huai'en did the same thing.

It's just that Xiao Qi tried extra hard, trying to use the pain of pressing his lips against his teeth to make him remember her kiss firmly.

He knew that he could no longer say "no" to her, whether she understood or not, whether she regarded it as a game or something else, he could no longer persuade her to keep a distance from him as before.

After taking several deep breaths, Xiao Qi straightened his clothes and walked back to the small courtyard.He was also thinking that his highness didn't wear shoes, so he couldn't neglect his duties any more.

Wei Huaien sat on the ground and watched him come in. If it wasn't for his blushing, she would almost have thought that it wasn't him who ran away just now.

When Xiao Qi was about to walk in front of her, she realized that even if she looked up, she could only see the tip of his chin.

If a person with such a demeanor is not an eunuch, he may also be able to pass the scientific examination, and there may be a different world.

But now he half knelt down, willingly picked her up in a gesture of service and sent her to the small couch, patiently wiping her toes that were not stained with dust with a cloth towel.

He is so nice, how could she see others again?

With him behind him, it seemed that Wei Huai'en had finally been brought out of the cold quagmire by him. No matter what the road ahead was, he would just listen to her and be driven by her without asking the reason.

She cheered up, pulled him to sit beside him, and leaned on him to read the official newspaper and transcribed official documents again.

"You will stay with me, won't you, Xiao Qi?"

"Yes, Xiao Qi will always be with you."

Li Kong Mansion.

Meng Keshu didn't close her eyes all night, and the bloody smell of rolling heads lingered in her nostrils. It was a Shura scene that she would never forget in her whole life.

It was just because the lunatic knew that the servants in the mansion had chewed their tongues in front of her and told her the secrets of the past.

She always thought that the lunatic might be the bastard of a certain family, or an unrecognized illegitimate child, that's why she sat alone in frustration in the mid-mountain pavilion playing the piano during the spring hunting in Mangshan Mountain.

It turned out that she was ignorant of human affairs, and she didn't know that apart from family members who could accept grace to participate in the spring hunting, there was another kind of people who would come here.

It is the so-called plaything, the so-called most dirty, the cheapest, the most unworthy of the stage, and even the actor who can be given away at will.

That's why he was so crazy, wishing to kill everyone in the mansion.

But she didn't understand why this lunatic cared so much about this.It's all right for others, she, a sinner who just hid in the capital after being exiled, does she have any position to mock him?
When the whole family was sentenced to exile, Meng Keshu didn't feel anything.The law is strict, and those who commit crimes must be paid for. Even if her father and brother's crimes have killed her, she never feels wronged.

Since she has enjoyed the benefits, and since she has been warmed up for so many years, she should also have a share in this crime.

It's just that people who don't love wealth and honor are even faintly glad that they don't have to be arranged for a marriage they don't want.

She didn't know the details of the Meng family's crimes, she just thought that no matter what happened to her father and brother, they were still a family and it didn't matter where they went, as long as they could live safely.

She didn't want much, even when the whole house was full of soldiers and horses, she didn't care about those things outside of her body, and only took the piano with her.

But she didn't expect to see him again on the day when their family arrived in Nanlin Mansion in embarrassment.

"Miss Meng, I'm Li Kong. I was lucky enough to meet Miss Meng during the Spring Hunting in Mangshan Mountain. I wonder if Miss Meng still has an impression of me?"

He rode a white horse and waited at the gate of Nanlin City. With the setting sun shining behind him, he walked up to her, who was sitting in a dilapidated donkey cart, in rough clothes and disheveled hair.

The stepmother and sisters pinched her back fiercely from behind, urging her not to be dazed, and to answer this young man who was extraordinary at first glance.

She was in pain, turned her head and glared at them, and missed the threat and harshness that Li Kong's eyes cast on the stepmother and the others.

"I remember you. You are the son who plays the piano in the bamboo forest."

Meng Keshu turned back to Likong and showed a sincere smile.

"But you've also seen that my family is in trouble, so it's not Miss Meng anymore."

From the corner of her eyes, Meng Keshu saw that the father sitting in the front car looked back at her when he heard the movement, but seemed to be shocked, he didn't say anything for a while, and shrank back again.

She knew that her father, who had always been abiding by the rules, wanted to reprimand her for not talking too much with her boyfriend, but in the current situation, even her father found those rules ridiculous.

The queue to enter the city would take a while, so she simply took Qin off from the luggage, sat in front of the car and chatted with him.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here, Young Master Li. It just so happens that there is something I've wanted to ask you for a long time."

There were some traces of dust on her face, but it didn't hinder the tenderness in Li Kong's eyes when he looked at her.

I didn't meet you, Li Kong replied in his heart, I came to look for you.

"The piece of music you played that day, I searched for a lot of music scores, but I couldn't find it. Did you write the piece yourself?"

When talking about the qin, Meng Keshu didn't look like the gentle image when he made friends in Beijing and China, but like a bird that had finally left its cage, chirping.

Obviously he was asking Li Kong a question, but he didn't even have a chance to interrupt.

"After the spring hunt, I have always remembered your music, but I can't recover it. It's a pity that I didn't know your name at that time, or else I would have thought of a way to ask you for the score."

She adjusted the tone in a few clicks, and looked up at him expectantly with bright eyes.

"But it's not too late now, you're going to enter Nanlin City, right? Anyway, you have to wait, why don't you tell me your score?"

Li Kong forgot to speak for a while, and he didn't use a word of the opening remarks he had prepared.

She didn't care who he was, or why he appeared here, and she didn't care what his purpose was when he came to say hello.

It seems that he is worried about gain and loss, full of calculations.

"Is it...isn't it convenient to say? That's right, everyone has their own love, I was the one to be abrupt."

Seeing that he didn't reply, Meng Keshu thought that he didn't want to tell the people he met by chance, and didn't bother him, so he pretended to accept the piano.

"and many more!"

Li Kong couldn't see the dim light in her eyes, bent down and pressed her wrist through his sleeve.

"Miss Meng, I didn't mean that. There's nothing wrong with this piece of music, but it's not convenient here. When I enter the city, I can write a copy of the score and give it to you. What do you think?"

"Really! That's settled!"

Meng Keshu sat down again, and suddenly didn't know what to say, although she had kept Li Kong in her heart for a long time, but when it came to the truth, she didn't know anything about this man, she even just knew his name.

She embarrassedly used the non-existent dust on the piano to cover up, but fortunately Li Kong broke the silence first.

"What are Miss Meng's future plans?"

Before Meng Keshu could answer, the eldest sister of the Meng family in the car rushed to reply:
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your concern. My family is in such a difficult situation. I don't have any plans. Just settle down with the situation. I don't know why Mr. Li came to Nanlin City, but he is on business?"

Li Kong originally didn't want to talk to other people, but this question finally gave him a step to reveal his identity, so he replied:

"I'm serving as Lord B Yingsi in Xuanyu Division, and I really have a mission."

Meng Keshu's stepmother and sisters exclaimed softly in the car, "Ying Sijun" is one of the ten highest-ranking Sijuns in Xuanyu Division, except for the envoys and the three deputy envoys.

At a time when the old and old disciples of the Meng family were avoiding her, there was such a gentleman who was so kind to Meng Keshu. Miss Meng only wished that such a good thing hadn't happened to her.

The people waiting to enter the city more or less heard Li Kong's words, and all of a sudden they all looked at Li Kong with respect and fear, and even scattered around, not daring to approach them again.

Li Kong liked the look in their eyes.

At this time, he felt that his once broken spine regained strength, and the eyes of the world were no longer the disgust and contempt that he could not avoid, and now it was finally his turn to take life and death.

Including Mr. Meng who had met him at Yan Weiguang's residence.Even if he wanted to make friends with him when he was drunk, so what, wouldn't he just stay in the carriage honestly and allow him to chat and laugh with Meng Keshu?

Who is cheaper than whom?Being powerless is despicable.

The hollow bamboo is filled with vanity and blood, and will never bend under the wind and frost.He is no longer glorious, but his heart is as hard as iron.

However, Meng Keshu didn't show any emotion, as if what he said was nothing more than a commonplace.

She just said:

"Mr. Li also came from the capital? Riding is tiring. The team is still long. Would you like to sit down and rest for a while? My father and brother are in the car in front, and there is still space. I will take you there."

She didn't know that with his current status, he could go in and out of Fucheng at will, and there was no need to queue up at all.

But he didn't refuse him, he got off the horse obediently, and followed her to the car in front.

After watching Meng Keshu return to the back car with his own eyes, he lifted the curtain to reveal his true colors.

"Master Meng, I've been eavesdropping on you for a long time. I'm here this time to ask for someone from you..."

Meng Keshu didn't want to recall what happened next, but compared to tonight's tragedy, this memory can be called gentle. At least at that time, Li Kong was just a black-hearted ordinary person, not a murderer. The blinking demon.

After entering the city, my father took the whole family to live in the best inn in Nanlinfu City with the money he didn't know where.

The stepmother and the sisters couldn't hide their joy, and secretly said that the father was indeed the father, and he even hid the backhand. Now they don't have to worry about suffering after being exiled here.

Meng Keshu did not join their discussion.

Although she couldn't open her mouth to tear her face apart and blame her father and elder brother for committing crimes, she also couldn't enjoy the treatment that should not belong to sinners with peace of mind.

But what can she struggle with?She could only go back to the house and wipe the strings.

Perhaps this came from the Suqin in her mother's dowry, the only clean thing around her.

She thought everything was settled, but her father told her to pack her luggage and leave with Li Kong tomorrow.

"Why! Dad, don't you want me?"

The news was like a bolt from the blue, she almost couldn't stand up, and it was the stepmother who couldn't see it and helped her to stop.

"What did Shu'er say? How could your father not want you? Be obedient, Mr. Li said that there is a lack of a luthier in the family, and he made it clear that he wanted to take you back.

Don't you have a relationship with him? When you return to Beijing, try to please him. Even if you can't become a regular wife, at least he won't treat you badly. Isn't this much better than staying in Nanlin Mansion and suffering with us? "

The stepmother's comforting words made her more and more incomprehensible. She pushed the stepmother away, and retreated to the door to stand firm.

The candlestick stood in the middle of the table, illuminating the circle of people. Her gaze swept over the jealous elder sister, the stepmother who pretended to be impatient, the sighing father, the impatient elder brother, and the ignorant fourth younger sister.

They are a family, no, they are all living by their father, the old servants were abandoned in the capital, and the aunts and maids were sent out to take care of them along the way. The hardships peeled off the family layer by layer, but they always hurt Less than the most core people.

It turned out that she was also the one to be abandoned.

It turned out that as long as she was alive, she couldn't escape the fate of being traded.

"Okay. I promise."

The door was pushed open suddenly, the memory stopped, Meng Keshu didn't want to turn over to face the visitor.

"have you slept?"

Li Kong opened the curtain and sat on the side of the bed, she could smell the fresh fragrance of his body, obviously he had already bathed and changed clothes.

She should answer him right away, because all his tenderness is an illusion, as long as he goes against his will, he will tear off this mask and force her to obey.

Just like on the carriage back from Nanlin Mansion, she felt depressed and refused to eat. After asking a few times, he pinched her face and stuffed the food into her mouth.

After arriving in the capital, even though he didn't force her to be a concubine, he still tied a gold chain on her ankle, forced her to serve him tea and water, and even hugged her to sleep every night.

But today she was terrified and hated him, just because the servants in her yard talked a lot and told her that Li Kong had done something about being a male favorite in Dingyuanhou's mansion before, so he let her watch those people die in front of her. before.

She struggled, she screamed, she begged for mercy, but he was completely insane, and when her eyes were all red, he laughed and kissed her neck in front of the guards, holding her tightly in his arms Li didn't allow her to escape a step.

He was a lunatic, he was using these tortures to force her to surrender, and he threatened her not to commit suicide with the lives of his family members, but she really couldn't hold on until tonight.

She wanted to offend him. Didn't he want to kill everyone who mentioned his past? Wouldn't that count her as well?
"Little Moon..."

Li Kong called her again, his voice was gentle and tender, almost melting into the night.

He never called her by her name, maybe he knew from where his name was taken from "Wang Shu", so he only called her Moon.

"Do not touch me."

She felt him lying behind her, his long arms reaching out to hug her, but she pushed him away.

"why?"

He wasn't angry yet, his breath was close to her ear, and he asked her as if nothing had happened:
"Because I killed someone?"

His hand came over and grabbed her fingertips, and tightly interlocked her fingers while she was struggling.

She was in pain, but she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

His other hand was under her waist, like a snake, he went over and held her in his arms from behind, reminding her of the killing scene tonight again.

But his voice was still as gentle as water, it didn't seem like he was forcing her, but like he was talking to his most cherished partner.

"Is it because Little Moon doesn't like me kissing you in front of other people? Don't be angry, I'll go dig out their eyes tomorrow, and you can come and see, okay?"

"No! Li Kong, you are crazy!"

The more Meng Keshu struggled, the tighter Li Kong hugged her. She couldn't even breathe, but she had to let him give up the idea of ​​implicating others.

"It seems that it's not because of this, it's because of..."

He suddenly bit the tip of her ear, and the pain caused her to shrink into his arms in a panic. Then he relaxed his teeth and licked the tooth marks he left pityingly.

"...Because Little Moon disliked me for being a male favorite? Is that so?"

Meng Keshu was hugged intimately by him, so she could naturally feel the changes in him.

She was scared, and she had no doubt what this lunatic would do to her if he heard an answer that he didn't like.

She is not afraid of death, but she is terribly afraid of insult.Li Kong is like a demon who can see through people's hearts, she was unable to make choices in front of him that he didn't want to see from the beginning to the end.

"No, I didn't."

She closed her eyes and relaxed her body. Sure enough, after realizing her obedience, Li Kong also relaxed the force that restrained her, and rubbed her fingers for her.

"That's good. Little Moon likes me the most, so why would she dislike me?"

He kissed from the earlobe all the way to the side of the neck, and he didn't think it was enough, so he pulled her over and kissed her lips.

"Little Moon, say you love me."

"...Li Kong, I love you, I love you the most."

He would ask about this every night before going to bed, and Meng Keshu was already numb.But Li Kong sighed contentedly as if hearing an oracle, leaned on her shoulder and said sullenly:

"I know, I love Little Moon the most too."

The two breathing sounds gradually calmed down in their respective minds, no matter whether they were in the same bed or not, at least at this night, they slept like two mandarin ducks lying on their necks.
