    Chapter 124 The sick and violent prince 22

    Xie Rong washed the dirty man clean.

    You see, in fact, as long as Lu Yuanju becomes pitiful and pitiful, he will be very nice to Lu Yuanju.

    Because his favorite thing is puppies.

    He was very happy, as if he had returned to the days of Canglan Mountain. He was still a talented swordsman who was envied by everyone, and the person named Lu was just his little dog, who could only always follow him, begging for his mercy.

    But Xie Rong is the emperor, and the emperor is always very suspicious.

    So after Lu Yuanju recovered from his injury, he deliberately abandoned the man several times. He watched the man locked outside the palace gate on the city wall and was so anxious that he finally gritted his teeth and got in through the dog hole of the cold palace.

    He seems very well-behaved and is afraid of being abandoned. He is even more well-behaved than the previous dog.

    When Lu Yuanju finished drilling the dog hole, he looked up and saw his Majesty standing under a dead tree, looking at him with malice: “If you like drilling in the west wind’s dog hole so much, you should get out of here from now on.”

    Lu Yuanju said: “Okay.”

    Xie Rong then beat and kicked him, and called him mean. Then, while cursing and cursing, he stepped forward with a smile, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him. His tone was sweet and gentle, saying that he was so good. He said that well-behaved dogs are like this, letting themselves be beaten and scolded and wagging their tails.

    It turns out that His Majesty is duplicitous in what he says, and what he says is mean is good.

    So Lu Yuanju started to like Xie Rong calling him good.

    Xie Rong’s aggressive way of only scolding him but not others is really cute.

    In fact, Xie Rong occasionally beat and scolded the palace people and courtiers, but not as often as he did, because he was His Majesty’s slave, and he could climb onto His Majesty’s bed to warm His Majesty’s bed. Your Majesty especially loved to scold him on the couch, even when he was crying.

    Lu Yuanju was fascinated by this, and he wanted to call it love.

    If you love someone, you are destined to be fascinated by him, his words and deeds, his laughter and curses, his viciousness, selfishness, coldness and everything.

    The remnants of Saibei would occasionally secretly send messages asking him whether he had betrayed the grassland and became a lackey of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.

    Lu Yuanju had a clear conscience. He had already died once in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He would rather die than tell the whereabouts of the remnants of Saibei, in order to repay the kindness of the grassland for raising him.

    Later he lived again, because he held on to his last breath and waited until Xie Rong, so he wanted to live.

    The grassland is free. It raises goshawks and wolfdogs, but it will never stop the goshawks and wolfdogs from walking alone or looking for their masters.

    But Xie Rong’s health was always not good.

    From time to time, she would be seriously ill and unable to leave the bed for three or four months. She would lie dying in a man’s arms and be carried by him to bathe and eat.

    Early this morning, Lu Yuanju lifted up the bed curtains and hugged Xie Rong as usual, but only found a cold body.

    “Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please open your eyes and look at me.” Lu Yuanju’s eyes were red, his fingertips were trembling when he pinched him, and he could hardly feel his breath.

    Why is the sky so cruel and treats Xie Rong so poorly?!

    Xie Rong opened it a crack, but was unable to close it.

    Lu Yuanju hugged him tightly.

    It’s ridiculous that he once cursed his majesty to die early, but now these words have finally been repaid to him a thousand times.

    Lu Yuanju rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered something. He immediately stood up and rushed out of the Yangxin Hall. He ran into Empress Dowager Xue who came to visit the emperor. She didn’t bother to apologize and hurried in a certain direction.

    After a cup of tea, he stopped in front of Qingxu Palace, panting.

    This is the residence of the imperial master. Since the death of the previous emperor and the new emperor ascending the throne, it has become the most lonely place in the palace.

    Because the emperor’s disgust was so obvious, the people in the palace knew that the imperial master had lost favor. Although they did not dare to be as obvious as bullying an ordinary palace concubine, they would not treat Qingxu Palace as the master’s palace by cleaning and serving it carefully.

    Therefore, the palace door of Qingxu Palace was already covered with a thick layer of dust. When Lu Yuanju stepped forward to push the door, the locks were rusty and jammed the bolt, so he could only kick it open with brute force.

    Fortunately, Lu Yuanju was anxious, and what he lacked most was brute force.

    The palace door was kicked open by him with a bang.

    Lu Yuanju walked inside on a path filled with dead leaves, and finally saw a man in white standing with his hands behind his back under an orange tree that had lost all its leaves.

    “No matter how many reincarnations you and him take, you will never escape this result.” The Imperial Master stood there for a long time, turning his head slightly, not making any exception for his arrival. “It’s no wonder that he hates you, your existence itself will kill him.”

    “Your Majesty hates you, not me,” Lu Yuanju breathed heavily, trying to calm his heartbeat. “He always said that I was good and made others jealous. He never thought that the Imperial Preceptor would be the same.”

    The Imperial Master was quiet for a moment and thought to himself: “It turns out he likes stupid people.”

    Lu Yuanju no longer had the patience to listen to his nagging, and every moment he spent with the Imperial Preceptor made him feel sick unconsciously, even though the Imperial Preceptor had helped him.

    But for His Majesty’s sake, he had to continue: “Your Majesty is seriously ill. Since you can wake him up again and again, you can definitely save him, right?”

    “I can save him, but I have to borrow your body,” the national master said.

    Lu Yuanju’s thick eyebrows sank, and he suppressed a bit of anger, “What do you mean?”

    “I want your body.”

    The Imperial Master walked towards him and stopped when he was three feet away.

    The cold wind blew away the white cloth covering the man’s eyes. Under the white cloth, there was a face that was almost identical to his, except that the pupils were white.

    Lu Yuanju’s pupils suddenly dilated, and a chill penetrated his spinal cord, making him tremble.

    “I really don’t understand why he likes you,” the Imperial Master stared at him with his white pupils, coldly and contemptuously, “It’s ridiculous to try to replace the real master.”

    He had been watching indifferently for too long, always expecting the man to show some mercy.

    But now it’s really a charity, but it’s hard to accept it.

    Lu Yuanju took a step back and put his hand on the dagger hidden behind his waist.

    Could this evil spirit be crazy?

    But deep in his soul, he could not resist the intimidation of this evil spirit. He could only watch helplessly as the evil spirit stretched out his hand and coldly approached his face.

    Unexpectedly, a dazzling and hot red light emitted from the side of his neck, burning Yaodao’s hand.

    Lu Yuanju looked at the man’s bloody hands, then lowered his head and touched the hot tattoo marks on his neck, and suddenly smiled.

    “His name is written on His Majesty’s things. You look the same as me, but his name is not written on it. He wants me, not you.”

    What he saw today was beyond what Lu Yuanju had known for more than twenty years.

    This Imperial Master is indeed enigmatic, but as soon as he touches the words His Majesty personally bestows on him, he will be completely suppressed, like a dog that is found to be disobedient to its master and is punished.

    With the tattoo branded on his neck, Lu Yuanju was not afraid of anything anymore and even straightened his back proudly so that this guy could see the words on his neck more clearly.

    The Imperial Master stared at the words on his neck without saying a word for a long time, then walked around him and walked out of the Qingxu Palace, heading towards the Yangxin Palace.
