The Ugly Empress, Chapter 52, vol 2 Chapter 7: The ugly empress

Xue Hou Yang felt like his head would explode by Xue Pei’s brattiness. He really didn't know how to explain that scene to him. Especially since the little crown prince was so young. The emperor, the Imperial harem, had three thousand beauties. How could he pet only one person and still love a dead one.

Finally, Xu Hou Yang said, “This question, the crown prince is better to ask the Imperial tutor, who is knowledgeable and natural... Naturally, he can solve the puzzle for the crown prince. "

Xue Pei listened to Imperial uncle's words, and he didn't question it. He really ran to ask the Imperial tutor

Teng Yun replied that he was ill and said that he was too drunk to leave first. Of course, we did not see Emperor Xue, and no one stopped him.

When Teng Yun left the palace, the people of the Marquis prepared a carriage outside the palace. They waited for the master to come out. After they got on the carriage, Teng Yun breathed heavily. There was an illusion of someone who was escaping.

As soon as he got out of the sedan, a servant girl ran over and said in a panic, “Master, go to see Mr. Lu. The guards at the door were all knocked unconscious!"

Teng Yun was surprised. Did he allow the Imperial court official Lu Shi run away? He is a weak scholar. How can he hurt the bodyguard and run away? It's the people of the Feng state who came to take him back?

He thought so, and quickly walked a few steps. He didn't care about the sticky feeling on his body. As expected, the guards in the small yard fainted. Everyone dared not rush into the room. The door was still closed.

Teng Yun went to push the door open. He heard someone breathing in his ears. It seemed that the Imperial court official Lu Shi was still there, but he didn't run away. He bypassed the screen and immediately stopped.

The table in the room collapsed, and there were scattered meals and broken dishes on the ground. The Imperial court official Lu Shi was standing against a corner in an uneven clothes, while there was another person on the bed.

The man was naked on his upper body, but his lower body was obviously not a little impulsive. His face was red with flush, but his hands were tied back, as if he could not get rid of it. He was gasping for breath, trying to rub the bed under him.

And this embarrassed man is Zhao Tong

Teng Yun's felt shame, so he immediately turned away from him and said, “Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"

After rolling his throat for a long time, he said in a trembling voice: “I... I... How do I know what wrong with him... "

Teng Yun saw Zhao Tong's expression was a little lax and saw the dagger falling on one side. He probably knew the cause and effect in his heart. This kind of abusive means didn't seem to be the work of Imperial court official Lu Shi.

Teng Yun called for someone to send Zhao Tong back. Imperial court official Lu Shi was relieved. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Tong was bound by Imperial court official Lu Shi of course. If it wasn't for Zhao Tong's sad loss of the thought, then the Imperial court official Lu Shi would not be so capable

The servants were all stupefied after coming in, but they still hurry to take Zhao Tong away. After so long in marquis mansion, they naturally know what to look at and what not to look at.

The maid picked up the smashed things on the ground again, and rearranged a table. The food was smashed, and she could not see how much she had eaten. This was the only gratifying thing for Imperial court official Lu Shi.

Teng Yun also said that he didn't eat, so he asked the cook to make another table and put it on the table. The Imperial court official Lu Shi seemed to be reborn after the disaster. He ate like a wolf. Of course, this was after Teng Yun left, if he was to be seen eating like this in front of the Xue state people, he would rather starve to death.

Teng Yun didn’t have the strength to take charge of Zhao Tong at this time. He asked people to send him back. He also specifically tells Zhao Lu that Zhao Tong is a simple person, and his blood rush is a plotted thing. In case Zhao Lu knew it, he will definitely deal with it according to the military law. Although Zhao Tong should be punished and learn from his mistakes, he can't bear to watch Zhao Tong have his head cut off. He is also a good general.

When someone called for water, Teng Yun washed the filth on his body. The hot water really relieved his fatigue, and let him relax slowly. Only when he relaxed, he could not help thinking about things that were difficult to talk about just now

Although Teng Yun has a thin face, it seemed that he has something wrong when he calms down and thought about it again.

Not to mention that Xue Jun Liang has always been a good drinker, and he didn't drink much this time, he said that even The Emperor Xue can't do this business in a small pavilion with air leakage on all sides.

Xue Jun Liang is cautious. There are many people coming and going at the banquet. There are countless palace people who mend dishes and deliver wine. The pavilion is not hidden, so it's not allowed to be seen.

Although no one dares to wiggle their beaks in front of him, he can't block people's mouths talking behind his back.

What's more, Xue Jun Liang didn't really enter him just now. He just called out the name “Empress" and made his legs to come together to relieve himself. At that time, Xue Jun Liang was afraid of the feeling of Teng Yun being lost in it and jerked to relieve him. How could Xue Jun Liang call the name of a woman and relieve a man?

When Teng Yun thought about this, he suddenly felt that warm water could not get rid of his own chill, and he even shivered. All these showed that Xue Jun Liang was not drunk at all.

However, even if Xue Jun Liang is smart and has insight, he can't know who he is. There is only one possibility left.

Xue Jun Liang intentionally let the palace people see himself and the Marquis of Tengnan. They dare not talk about Emperor Xue. Moreover, Emperor Xue loves the event that everyone knew about it, so they can only see Teng Yun as a joke and spread some rumors.

Teng Yun slapped the water hard and splashed it on his face, but he felt it was cold and sharp. Xue Jun Liang couldn't find a way to move himself, so he started from another side.

Teng Yun covered his eyes and sneered. The emperor's mind is really deep, which is not something he can guess.

After the Imperial court session the next day, Xue Jun Liang left Teng Yun to stay back on purpose. Teng Yun did not know what attention Xue Jun Liang paid on him. He could only tell himself that the emperor was unfathomable and he could be trapped if he did not pay attention.

Xue Jun Liang prepared the sedan, didn't know where to go, smiled and said: "Zhen is going to take Teng Ying to a place. The road is not for a short walking... Why don't you come up?"

Teng Yun stood on one side with his head down. It's a great honor to be able to ride with the emperor. Teng Yun didn’t feel that he has such an honor to descend to the Imperial court official.

“Thanks for this favor, but since ancient times, the Imperial court official has been different. Even the Imperial court official dare not break the rules, so as not to make people gossip."

When Xue Jun Liang saw that he didn't bite or demand, he said with a smile, “You are really cautious."

After that, he asked Jiang Yu to ask someone to drive. Teng Yun just followed him. Within a few steps, he met the little crown prince. The little crown prince saw Teng Yun, and then he looked at Xue Jun Liang. He was a little red on his face. He soon straightened up his face and gave Teng Yun a fierce look.

Then he took a handful of pebbles out of his arms and threw them at Teng Yun. After throwing them, he immediately turned around and ran away. Soon they were gone.

All the people were stunned. Teng Yun was hit by a stone. It didn't hurt, but somehow, Teng Yun knew the little Crown Princess Pei better. After all, Xue Pei was very clingy before. The little crown prince was very mature in his daily life and behaved in a proper way. Only when he lost his temper can he make such a little temper.

Xue Jun Liang said "Outrageous!" Then he said, “Is this how the Imperial tutor teaches the crown prince? Jiang Yu, go and tell Shen Yi that the crown prince will copy the manuscript a hundred times today, and will not leave school before that. "

“Yes..."

Jiang Yu answered and went to Shen Yi.

Xue Jun Liang then asked people to drive out of the palace. Instead of going to other places, they went to the Lord Marquis of Zhenjiang’s mansion.

Surrounded by heavy troops and regiments outside the Marquis's mansion, the guards were all armed with halberds and wearing armor. No one around the Marquis's mansion dared to approach them. He knew that this was the end of the rebellion.

He was rushed into the mansion. There was a depression around him. Almost no one took care of him. The flowers were dead. The weeds grew wildly and almost disappeared. There was a layer of ash on the lanterns of the corridor and spider webs on the corners.

Seeing the mansion at the first sight, Teng Yun understood that now Teng Yun and Xue Yu are at the same level. Xue Jun Liang brought him here to see the end of infidelity.

But the Marquis of Tengnan is not as good as Xue Yu. Xue's ancestors have orders. We can’t kill the other brother, or their names can't be listed in the genealogy, Xue Yu made a big mistake and lived albeit miserable. If Teng Yun made a big mistake, he will die immediately.

Another row of small rooms were built in the side courtyard of the marquis mansion. There were no windows in the room. The three sides were sealed. Only one door was opened, and the door was still chained on it.

Xue Jun Liang asked someone to open the lock. A guard pushed the door open. At this time, the light came in. The room was bright.

There is a person lying on the bed in the corner, and it was no one except Xue Yu.

Xue Yu's emaciated skin and bones were almost the only thing left. He has no hair and comb. He laid on his back on the bed and stared at the roof. As soon as the door is opened, he was stabbed by the light and closes his eyes abruptly. After relaxing for a long time, he looked at the light.

Xue Jun Liang said, “Why does the Marquis of Zhenjiang look like this? Zhen asked you to treat Lord Marquis kindly. Is that how you serve him?"

As soon as the guards heard that Emperor Xue was angry, they quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, “His majesty, spare our lives! It's not that the general didn't serve Lord Marquis with all his heart, but it’s just that Lord Marquis seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood. He went to see a doctor and said that Lord Marquis is suffering from depression and some mental disorders. He often didn't eat the food which is sent and smashed it all over the ground. "

Teng Yun listened to this and looked at Xue Yu. He does have a trance look in his eyes. Measuring by someone who is locked in a dark room will do the same. He can't help feeling sad. Xue Yu can't die, but it's sadder than if he were to die. It's killing Xue Yu's energy and pulling his feathers out and draining him slowly of his will to live.

What Xue Jun Liang wanted was to gauge the expression from Teng Yun, then said: “Teng Ying can't you bear to look at it, and Zhen is even sadder. He is Zhen's brother after all. How can Zhen bear to see him like this...?”

Teng Yun looked at Xue Jun Liang, which made his heart tremble. He always felt that the look seemed to touch him, but Xue Jun Liang didn’t want to admit it. This disappointed, desperate and sad look can make him regret what he has done.

Xue Jun Liang felt that he has to be tough. If he is the emperor, he has to bear it. If Xue Yu didn't commit any trouble, he didn't need to treat him like this. Let alone his blood relatives from the same father. Even ordinary people, how can they bear to drive others crazy?

When Jiang Yu came in, he saw this kind of scene. No one dared to breathe for fear of being hurt by the innocent gesture.

Jiang Yu stepped forward, lowered his voice and tried to be humble, then said: “His majesty outside the mansion, a man who called himself Lang Jing asked for help?”

As soon as he spoke, Xue Yu, lying on the bed, seemed to have a twinkle in his eyes.

Xue Jun Liang smiled, “Oh, Lang Jing? Zhen has heard that Lang Jing was Shen Yi's senior brother. Shen Yi claimed that he was not as talented as him. "

Jiang Yu added: “The person who called himself, Lang Jing, also said that if the emperor is missing something, he can persuade Imperial court official Lu Shi to surrender."

Xue Jun Liang raised up the eyebrow, “This is really a person who can't be turned back and be refused to be seen. Invite him in."

Jiang Yu soon went out, and after a while, he came in with a man.

Lang Jing is still a man with a cold grim face hole, as if he can see through the world. Some people don't place themselves above the common people. When he saw Xue Yu on the bed, he just glanced at him, then put his eyes on Xue Jun Liang, and kowtowed: “This humble sinner Lang Jing, kowtows to his majesty."

Xue Jun Liang said with a smile: “Sinners? I surely don't know what you've done?"

Lang Jing said, “I don't know if the crime is serious enough if it were to instigate the Marquis of Zhenjiang to commit the following crimes."

“That’s big enough."

Xue Jun Liang nodded, still with a smile, “So you came to say that you have the courage to instigate people. At this time, you don't know what will happen when you run back?"

Lang Jing sneered and said, “This sinner had escaped, but his majesty is better. This sinner had no choice but to return."

Xue Jun Liang said: "Zhen’s younger brother has such a loyal follower like you, and Zhen is also happy for him."

“His majesty is serious..."

Lang Jing always spoke lightly without any expression. At this time, he said: “This sinner is willing to persuade Imperial court official Lu Shi first."

“What about your terms."

“The sinful person want his majesty to withdraw his troops and horses from the  Marquis of Zhenjiangmansion," said Lang Jing

Xue Jun Liang laughed and suddenly turned his head to Teng Yun and said, "Persuade him to surrender. Now he wants to compete with you and let Zhen withdraw. Teng Ying said, is that a good deal?"

Teng Yun didn't immediately answer the question, and after a pause, he said: “This Imperial court official is not as high talented as Mr. Lang, so he can't serve the Imperial court official Lu Shi completely."

Xue Jun Liang did not get angry after listening, but looked at Teng Yun vaguely and said with a smile: “Well... You can't persuade him to surrender, so you have to be punished. But how can Zhen bear to punish you for these small things? Give Lang Jing a chance. If he can persuade Xiang Jing to surrender the Imperial court official Lu Shi, Zhen will be free from the great crime of Xue Yu's committing a riot! "

Lang Jing's expression was relaxed for a moment, which seemed to be a deep sigh of relief. Then he said: “this sinner watched the stars at night, Imperial court official Lu Shi is the star of Wenqu. When the time is not right, one can't act rashly. In the next day, this sinner will go to the Marquis of Tengnan mansion to persuade surrender, the sinner pleads to stay here today and take care of the Lord. "

Xue Jun Liang waved and didn't seem to take it seriously. “You can stay if you want."

As he said, he walked out the door, just about to cross the threshold, then stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Lang Jing, the Imperial court official Lu Shi is a star of Wenqu. In your opinion, what is Zhen?"

Lang Jing paused for a moment, as if wondering what he was thinking, and said: “His Majesty's Dragon aura is a sign of white auspiciousness. This sinner once saw the Western Changgeng. Nothing could be better than his majesty, who is too white, and who is responsible for fighting. After all, the world is his Majesty's, so why rush for any moment?"

These words were actually said in Xue Jun Liang's heart. He can't help but look at Lang Jing with appreciation. Although he doesn't place himself up on others in the world, this man knew when to go in and when to go back. He knew that people are under the eaves and can't help but bow his head.

"Just..."

Lang Jing stopped for a while, took a look at Teng Yun, then turned to Emperor Xue, and said: “Although Venus can attack the gods, it's too violent. Since ancient times, violence will lose the good will of the people, Yu Shun, the emperor who has a good backing of a virtuous empress will step on the throne while being accompanied, unhibited and without troubles."

Xue Jun Liang looked at Lang Jing's eyes and appreciates him more. It seemed that this man can really understand people's hearts and follow his words: “Then, who is supposed to be on Zhen’s side?"

Lang Jing bowed his head and said: “As soon as the sinner entered the door, he knew that the Marquis of Tengnan would be able to make his majesty flourish, but unfortunately... It's a unfortunate that the Marquis of Tengnan was born a man."

Xue Jun Liang thoughts were exposed on his words. He really didn't expect that he just showed a little thought and was seen through by Lang Jing keen eye, the first person he met, and Lang Jing knew how read him.

Xue Jun Liang has always wanted to catch Teng Yun. He was right, but he can't find a reason why. Any good way he tried will be blocked by Teng Yun. If he really tried to suppress the Marquis of Tengnan with persuasion, he will make others think that Emperor Xue is stingy and intolerable.

Xue Jun Liang has a plan in mind. If the Marquis of Tengnan is included in the Imperial harem, the Imperial harem's concubine can't do politics. No matter how good he is, he can't turn the sky. He's laying the foundation for this specific plan these days. Unexpectedly, Lang Jing showed up and helped him a lot.

Of course, he knew that Lang Jing was just following his words in order to stay and take care of Xue Yu, but it didn't matter. As long as the goal was achieved, Xue Jun Liang never cared what means he used.

Teng Yun was stiff like a stone at a moment's hearing. He is stunned shock at the spot. It turned out that Xue Jun Liang wanted to do this. It's really a good way. So what Emperor Xue did when he was drunk can be explained immediately this happenstance.

Teng Yun did not expect that he had just left the Imperial harem, and this bxstard would be crammed into the backyard again.

Xue Jun Liang took Teng Yun back to the palace. This time, he asked Teng Yun to take a ride together. Teng Yun could not refuse. Now, this situation is inevitable. How can he refuse?

Xue Jun Liang was very satisfied with Teng Yun’s performance. When he arrived at the palace, he asked Jiang Yu to pass the Imperial court official into the palace. He took Teng Yun's hand and told the people that he was ready to marry the Marquis of Tengnan on a good day.

Xue Hou Yang mind was moving too slow for him to comprehend. His majesty has always disapproved of his relationship with Teng Shang. How can he get along well with the Marquis of Tengnan in a flash? It's hard that what he saw on that day was not drunken sex?

Shen Yi listened and understood it with a little thought. He was surprised in his heart. This chess moves are not endless.

In order to express his deep love for Teng Yun, Xue Jun Liang also dismissed the girls in Zhuxiu palace who were preparing for the draft show, gave them money for their sedans and horses, and sent them back home.

It didn't take long for the matter of Emperor Xue going to marry a man to spread, and the other side was the Marquis of Tengnan. Although there are inevitably several men who end up in the Imperial harem of the monarch, there are still few of such matchmaking, and the other side is also in a high position, and the sensation is inevitable.

Teng Yun usually has a flat arrogance appearance everywhere, and many people have seen him, especially others who have been in the army for a long time. The scar on his face impresses many people. Although he is not too ugly, at first glance, it seemed that he need to cover it with a face paint.

In private, it's said that the Xue state went from the ugly empress to a new ugly one.
