An eventful night destined many people to sleepless nights.
On a spring night in the luan tent, the bed swayed as if it was about to fall apart. The "squeaking" sound of wear and tear accompanied by the woman's moans and groans came to my ears. The man increased his power and poured out all his anger. In this charming place...
"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness..."
The woman stretched out her hand to grab Li Luanfeng, but he pushed her down, "Please forgive me, I won't let you go."
His clothes were open, and the sweat on his body slid down his strong back. With the last bit of strength, the man collapsed like a soft worm.
Slender, trembling onion fingers clung to his back, nails digging into his flesh.
"Hiss." Li Luanfeng woke up and said, "Be gentle."
"Have you been gentle to me just now, Your Highness?" Zhou Xueying said coquettishly: "It's like this every time, and you don't know how to show mercy at all."
He tilted his lips and sneered, "Don't you like it?"
"I……"
The sound of footsteps outside interrupted Zhou Xueying's words, and the servant came to report: "The Fifth Highness is here, saying that he has something important to see His Highness."
Li Luanfeng got out of bed, tied his clothes loosely and said, "Go and invite me."
The figure of the servant disappeared, and Zhou Xueying exclaimed: "You want His Highness the Fifth Prince to come here? But I..."
She hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover herself, the flush on her face had not faded away, and she had a look of tenderness and anger.
Li Luanfeng came over and pinched her face: "Isn't there a screen?"
After saying that, he walked out boldly.
Zhou Xueying was busy trying to reach for her own clothes that had fallen on the ground. She stretched out her jade arm from the curtain, but before it could touch the door, someone pushed it open. Li Luanhong broke in like a bandit, and she quickly retracted her hand. He covered himself tightly from head to toe.
"I'm so angry." Li Luanhong slapped his sword on the desk and sat down opposite Li Luanfeng. "Those useless snacks actually let someone run away."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked across from Li Luanfeng who was drinking tea at the shadowy mess behind the screen. He paused for a moment, then stared blankly at Li Luanfeng, without speaking for a long time.
Li Luanfeng was still waiting for his words behind him, but he suddenly lost his voice and raised his head to meet those thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Look at what I did. Is there any flowers on my face?" Li Luanfeng's voice was lazy and hoarse.
Li Luanhong came back to his senses, swallowed hard, and said: "Don't imitate what my father said, it sounds scary."
Then he quickly withdrew his gaze and continued: "Deadpool committed suicide by taking poison, and the people also ran away, but you don't have to worry, the boss will definitely not be able to catch anyone we can't catch."
He was very confident, and he picked up the cup and drank tea calmly, but his mind was thinking about the person he had just seen hiding in the curtain behind the screen.
"Don't think blindly, there is a person over there, a woman." Li Luanfeng saw what he was thinking, interrupted him, and then looked meaningfully at his brother who was three years younger than him:
"Hong'er will be twenty this year, too."
"Yes, after turning twenty." Li Luanhong said.
Li Luanfeng nodded: "Father is right, you really only grow taller but not wiser. I gave you so many royal guards just to let you practice. I look at you, you have grown a lot in muscle... …”
"Brother, what do you mean?" Li Luanhong asked with wide eyes.
"How capable can a street gangster like that sell fake test questions be? Even Deadpool can't catch him? Think about it, if Deadpool couldn't catch anyone, why didn't Deadpool come back and choose to commit suicide instead? Under what circumstances would they commit suicide? ?”
What he said made Li Luanhong's hair stand on end. He flattened his lips and comforted himself: "You mean they were caught by the boss? Even the person who sold the topic is in the hands of the boss?"
"No way, why is the boss so clever?" Li Luanhong still refused to give up. He grabbed Li Luanfeng's arm and asked, "That's your plan, brother. When has the boss ever been so smart?"
"That's because you don't understand the boss." Li Luanfeng shook his head, "I am only one year younger than the boss, and we grew up together. He appears to be reckless, brainless, and careless. In fact, he has He has eight hundred tricks. He is exactly the same as my father, which is why my father likes him."
Speaking of this, Li Luanfeng's face showed a trace of sadness and unwillingness: "I know in my heart that he is the one my father prefers for the position of prince. But if that is the case, why not just make him the prince directly, but let me be in charge of Zhu Pi?" right."
Li Luanfeng was a little excited, "What is Zhu Piquan? Isn't it just to act on behalf of the emperor? What does this mean?"
"Hmph, it's clear that he wants me to compete with the boss. The purpose of the competition is not to win, but to use me to inspire the boss's fighting spirit. I am just a sparring partner, and he is the real boss. It will be useless if I win."
Li Luanhong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Then, since my brother understands, why did he still fall for his father's trick? Why do he still have to fight with the boss? What's the benefit of being manipulated by his father? "
Li Luanfeng smiled strangely and said: "In this game of chess, my father is the one holding the pieces, and I am the pawn. He has his plans, and I have mine. Since he is willing to use me to train the boss, how could he know If the boss can train him, will he be able to win in the end? Since he gave me this opportunity, why can't I borrow his strength? One day, I, the chess piece, will jump out of his hands and become the person in control of the overall situation. .”
The candlelight danced, magnifying his figure on the wall, making him look particularly hideous and terrifying.
Li Luanhong smacked his lips: "Yes, I didn't understand what brother said. Anyway, I just follow him. You all look like your father. You, the eldest, the third, I think except for the old 7. Lao Ba and I, you both have eight hundred tricks."
Li Luanfeng glanced at him sideways and said, "You are wrong, Lao Qi and Lao Ba also have eight hundred tricks."
Li Luanhong: ...This knife pierced my heart.
He held his chest as if in pain. Li Luanfeng smiled sarcastically and comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as my brother is here, you will be fine."
Lao Wu smiled. Seeing that the matter was finished, he couldn't help but glanced at the other side of the screen, and said teasingly: "Brother, please continue to work. My brother is also going back to work."
That "you know" expression made Li Luanfeng very confused. He pulled him and said: "You can't go and do your work. You have to find someone to clean up those dead waiters quickly. Think of a countermeasure. What should I do if my father asks?" explain."
"Ah, what should I say? What should I say?" He suddenly panicked again.
Li Luanfeng covered his face: "Forget it, go ahead, I thought of telling you."
"Hey, come on."
Lao Wu ran off to find the girl, which was so happy.

Peace Hall.
At that time, the father-in-law was wearing casual clothes, a dark brocade coat and long boots, but he still wore a clever man's crown on his head.
When he raised his head, he saw that the injured person was not His Highness, but a rather familiar-looking young lady, and His Highness was sitting by the bed feeding others.
Give! people! Hello! meal!
Father-in-law was shocked.
Shen Que was also very surprised and asked: "Eunuch Shi, why do you still wear your eunuch's hat after you have changed your clothes when you leave the palace? Didn't you take it off in time?"
The father-in-law said no, "This hat was worn by the old slave since he entered the palace to serve His Highness. This is the slave's honor to serve His Highness, and it is also the slave's life. The slave has sworn that those who are born to be His Highness will be His Highness's dead ones." I will never take off this hat for the rest of my life.”
Li Luansong: ...I don’t want so many dead people.
After saying that, he looked at Shen Que and asked, "Your Highness, have you forgotten?"
Shen Que said no, "I am grateful for my father-in-law's loyalty, so I got up and replied."
When the father-in-law stood up to express his gratitude, his eyes turned to Li Luansong who was lying on the bed. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. Oh, I remembered, wasn't this the wife of Zhang Chengru and Zhang Shilang? The couple was quarreling at the lotus banquet.
But why is she with His Highness, and His Highness is the one who waits on her to eat? When has our Highness ever served anyone? His Majesty was ill and he didn't even take action.
Oh, I see. Today, His Majesty insulted Zhang Chengru. It must have been his wife who came to seek help from His Highness in a hurry, and then the two of them met the assassin together. This lady blocked the disaster for His Highness. Only then can it be explained that the two of them are together, and they are still... Now This situation.
He made up a lot of plots in his mind. He ate the melon until the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were raised, but it made Li Luansong very uncomfortable.
This old eunuch is out of his mind. He is staring at himself with a smile. What is there to see?
"Let me tell you." He couldn't bear it anymore and said, "This... uncle, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Um? What words? Sounds so familiar. Father-in-law suddenly came to his senses. Isn't this what His Majesty often said? Why did this lady imitate it? It sounded so scary.
Come to think of it, His Highness used to talk like this, and his expression was exactly the same as His Majesty's. It's just that I haven't heard His Highness talk like this for a long time. Don't tell me, you still miss me.
"Eunuch Shi." Shen Que reminded him, "Why are you here?"
"Your Highness, I'm so rude. I'm really worried about Your Highness." When he said this, he was about to cry. He had not been allowed to speak since the Lotus Banquet until today, and he almost choked to death when he started talking. I can't take it anymore:
"The old slave heard that His Highness was punished by His Majesty and stayed in the mansion all night. Later he heard that His Highness was picked up by the Empress, but it was already midnight and he still hadn't come back. Later, Wu Yu came back and returned with a sword in his hand. He was escorting a person, and the old slave was pestering him. Xiao Wuyue told the old slave that His Highness was injured and asked the old slave to try his luck at the medical clinic on this street..."
Li Luansong glanced at Shen Que: What Wuyue said was that His Highness was injured?
Shen Que: Don't worry, it was a slip of the tongue.
Li Luansong: I understand.
"This May, I can't explain clearly. It's clear that the young lady is injured. Fortunately, Your Highness is fine. This old servant is almost scared to death." He was about to cry, "Your Highness, you don't know... ...Oh, thank you so much, young lady...Your Highness..."
Li Luansong knew that he was talking nonsense, so he quickly interrupted him and asked, "Where are those people?"
"Oh, that's it." Only then did Eunuch Shi remember the business, "In May, I asked the old slave to report back to Your Highness. Those men in black were caught by May, but they hid poison under their tongues and committed suicide. It can be concluded that they were Deadpool, His Highness should know who is behind this. As for the other people..."
He glanced at Li Luansong who was lying on the bed, thought for a while, and said truthfully: "The following group are people sent by the Queen to follow His Highness. They are probably worried about His Highness's safety."
This is a very tactful statement.
"As for another group of people." He glanced at Li Luansong who was lying on the bed again, "I also asked in May. They were sent by the old lady of the Zhang family. They are said to follow their eldest lady. As for why they followed... "
Li Luansong waved his hand, "Okay, stop talking, it's not important. You can go out."
Eunuch Shi: ...This lady is so wealthy.
Seeing Shen Chue holding back his smile and nodding towards him, he exited the room.
Li Luansong's high fever didn't completely subside until dawn. Shen Que breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them went back to their homes.
Coincidentally, before Shen Que entered the door, the Queen dragged him in with dark circles under his eyes.
On the other side, the whole Zhang family stared at Li Luansong like black-eyed chickens, as if they wanted to burn holes in him.
"You haven't returned home all night, Shen Que, what have you been doing?"
